Inside the Hall of Heavenly Tribute.
There were wails and howls.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely annoyed and flew into a rage." Shut up! If anyone cries again, I'll exterminate their entire family!”
In an instant.
The hall was completely silent, and no more sounds could be heard.
Those who were on the roster were all silently crying as they were taken away by the inspectors one by one.
Zhu Biao, who was standing beside the throne, sighed deeply. He felt powerless.
He had no choice.
They could only blame themselves for being unlucky and encountering Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in the worst mood.
After the morning court session.
Zhu Biao heard a piece of news.
The Yan Princess Consort, Xu Miaoyun, had returned to the capital with her father.
The father of Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di's father-in-law, was the number one general of Ming Dynasty, Xu Da.
A year ago.
Northern Yuan was restless.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da and Li Wenzhong to Peiping to resist the enemy.
Xu Da and Li Wenzhong didn't disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang. They wiped out the effective forces of Northern Yuan and were no longer able to invade the border in recent years.
Just as Beiping was about to achieve a complete victory…
Empress Ma fell ill and missed her son.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately wrote a letter to summon Zhu Di back to the capital.
At that time.
Xu Da and Li Wenzhong had just won a great victory and were reorganizing their troops to return to the capital.
However, they were an army of more than 100,000 soldiers after all. They could not compare to Zhu Di's light and simple entourage, so they were delayed for a while.
Xu Miaoyun also came back along the way. She wanted to see Empress Ma and fulfill her filial duty as a daughter-in-law.
When Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun returned to the capital, Zhu Biao had a bad feeling.
He immediately rushed to Zhu Di's residence, but he was still a step too late. His sister-in-law, Xu Miaoyun, had already arrived, and she had also brought her two sons, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Biao knew that in the near future, Xu Miaoyun would give birth to her third child, Zhu Gaosui.
At the residence of the King of Yan.
Zhu Di was lying on the bed, his entire body covered in bruises.
Xu Miaoyun's eyes were swollen from crying. She choked,""Your Highness, what is going on? Did you make Father angry again?"
Zhu Di was a person who loved his wife dearly. Seeing Xu Miaoyun cry, he felt very upset. He forced a smile and said,"Silly wife, what are you talking about? Aren't I fine? It's not the first time Father has hit me.”
"Who are you trying to fool?" Xu Miaoyun said angrily. Could it be the same this time? Look at the injuries on your body. They're more than ten times worse than any of the previous ones.”
Zhu Di chuckled and changed the topic.""Wife, do you know? I met a little deity in the capital. He's very godly. When I'm better, I'll bring you to see him.”
Xu Miaoyun spat at him." Don't talk nonsense. There are no immortals in this world. It's most likely you spouted nonsense and made Imperial Father angry.”
Just as Zhu Di was about to defend himself, he heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from outside the door.
Zhu Biao walked in with two children in his arms.
Xu Miaoyun hurriedly bowed." Greetings, Your Highness."”
She saw the two children in Zhu Biao's arms and said sternly,"Gao Chi, Gao Xu, why aren't you coming down from the Crown Prince's embrace?”
Zhu Biao smiled and waved his hand." Sister-in-law, we're family. If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry."”
Xu Miaoyun replied with a smile.
Sometimes.
She envied Zhu Di for having such a good brother.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di, who was covered in a blanket on the bed, and said softly,""How is Fourth Brother?"
Xu Miaoyun replied," The imperial physician has just come to take a look. It's nothing serious. It's just some superficial wounds. Don't worry, Big Brother."”
Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief. He gently put Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu down and walked to the bed to sit down.
Zhu Di covered himself with the blanket and was unwilling to show his head.
He no longer had the face to see his good big brother.
"What?" Zhu Biao provoked. You've been thick-skinned since you were young. Did the sun rise from the west today? Why are you acting like a woman?”
Zhu Di fell for it.
He lifted the blanket and knelt on the bed. He kowtowed to Zhu Biao with tears in his eyes." Brother, I'm sorry. You can hit me!"”
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun was stunned.
She had never seen Zhu Di look so aggrieved.
The two children, Little Zhu Gaoxi and Little Zhu Gaoxu, also stared at this scene curiously with their big cute eyes.
In front of the bed.
Zhu Biao stopped smiling and said seriously," Fourth Brother, I brought you up. Although you're my younger brother, you're like my child.”
"No matter how angry Father is or how suspicious he is of you, in my heart, you will always be my good little brother.”
"I believe that you wouldn't snatch my throne for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding.”
"Let's go to Baiyun Temple together and ask Priest Fang for an answer. Are you willing?”
Zhu Di was so touched that tears streamed down his face. He nodded his head vigorously.
Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, Xu Miaoyun was dumbfounded.
What was that?
The Prince of Yan wanted to snatch the crown prince's throne?
What was going on?
Zhu Biao stood up and walked to Xu Miaoyun, smiling."Sister-in-law, you must be very surprised by what I just said, right? I'll go and prepare first. We'll go to Baiyun Temple together later.”
Zhu Biao then left.
Xu Miaoyun quickly walked up to Zhu Di and asked,""Your Highness, what is going on?”
Zhu Di sighed." Didn't I tell you just now? I met a little fairy…"
At this moment.
Hall of Honesty.
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Xu Da.
"What is it? Someone could travel to the future? The Prince of Yan has become the emperor?"
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's story, Xu Da was completely stunned, as if he was listening to a fairy tale.
"Upstairs? You're not deliberately teasing us, are you?”
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously.
Be reasonable.
He didn't believe it!
Explain another reason.
Any normal person would probably not believe it.
These words were said by Zhu Yuanzhang. If it was anyone else, Xu Da would have already cut them down.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Do you think we have nothing better to do? Why would we joke with you like this? Biao 'er is my flesh and blood, when have I ever joked with him?”
Xu Da's heart became more solemn." So, it's true?”
He couldn't believe it.
His good-for-nothing son-in-law, Prince of Yan Zhu Di, could actually become the future emperor?
Wasn't this a fantasy?
Whether it was prestige or strength, whether it was foundation or team, Zhu Di was not worthy of carrying Zhu Biao's shoes. How could he become the emperor?
Taking ten thousand steps back.
Even if something happened to Zhu Biao, what about Zhu Xiongying?
Zhu Xiong Ying was Zhu Biao's eldest son, the third-generation successor of the Ming Dynasty that everyone was looking forward to. He had been exceptionally intelligent since he was a child, and more than half of the people in the court were counting on Zhu Xiong Ying to grow up and serve him.
How did Zhu Di turn the tables on such a difficult path of snatching power?
