Chapter 154;
As the emperor of Dongzhou, his biggest dream is to firmly control his own country and mountains in his hands.

And he has been working hard.

"Is everything done for Baizhen Building tomorrow?"

Li De quickly responded respectfully.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Prince is waiting outside."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen slowly leaned back and gave Li De a look.

"Xuan!"

The little eunuch bowed and retreated.

Not long after, His Royal Highness the Second Prince entered the Dragon Head Hall and knelt down heavily as soon as he stood still.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

However, there was no response from above.

This made his movements of getting up after hearing Ping slightly froze.

A wave of fear immediately rose in my heart.

It was not the first time he had met him, but he had never received such a cold reception.

Every move of the emperor has a deep meaning. At this time, the father is like this, is it because he is dissatisfied with himself?

As he was thinking in fear, he still couldn't forget to quickly think about whether he had done anything recently to make his father dissatisfied.

It's not because he's so timid, it's because his position is quite embarrassing.

His mother's family is not strong, and there is still a direct elder brother on top of him. No matter whether it is in the palace or in the court, the only person he can rely on is Emperor Hongwen.

Therefore, since he was a child, he was particularly concerned about Emperor Hongwen's opinion of him, and he was cautious, and he did not dare to do anything that would make Emperor Hongwen dissatisfied.

After all, if he loses his father's attention at all, his life will be extremely dark, not to mention fighting for that seat, I'm afraid it will not be easy to survive.

He knew very well how ruthless the methods of Queen Wang, Duke Zhen and others were.

This is also the reason why he had no choice but to give up when facing Lu Yaoyao's warning.

Because no one could compare with Emperor Hongwen's opinion of him, even if it only caused a little dissatisfaction, he would treat it with extreme caution.

About half an hour later, Emperor Hongwen has not responded yet.

The second prince kneeling there had his back soaked in cold sweat.

The downcast eyes were slowly stained with ashes, and he couldn't help thinking that it was over, it was over.

At this time, he already knew the reason for Emperor Hongwen's dissatisfaction, and the only thing that might make Emperor Hongwen dissatisfied recently was the incident between Lord Wanfuxiang and Uncle Yong of Shangyi.

After all, he still underestimated the status of Lord Wanfu Township in his father's heart.

"You know what's wrong?"

Suddenly, Emperor Hongwen's plain voice sounded.

In an instant, he threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind, and knelt down.

"I know my mistake, I beg my father to appease my anger."

"Is it wrong?"

The second prince quickly responded.

"Then what do you say is wrong?"

As soon as this remark came out, the second prince quickly said, "Your minister should not neglect the important affairs of the family and the country for your own selfish desires."

"Wanfu Xiangjun and Dongzhou have made great contributions. As a prince, your son should treat him kindly."

He said, thinking that after today, it was necessary to see Lord Wanfu, and apologize to her properly.

And he warned himself solemnly and sternly in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to provoke this woman again in the future.

However, just when he thought his answer could pass the test, Emperor Hongwen did not respond at all.

This made the second prince's heart suddenly lifted again.

Isn't this what the father is dissatisfied with?

Impossible, during this period of time, I have done this inappropriate thing.

Because he knew that his only reliance was Emperor Hongwen, so he always thought twice before acting, and often racked his brains to do things to please Emperor Hongwen.

"That's all?"

Emperor Hongwen asked suddenly.

The second prince's heart was shocked, and he thought quickly, what else could there be besides these?

Unfortunately, he never thought of it, so he only did this.

Seeing him silent for a long time, Emperor Hongwen's eyes suddenly fell on him.

In just a split second, the second prince sensed an imperial coercion that frightened him.

"Father, please appease your anger. It's because my son is blunt. I beg your father to let me know."

"Humph."

Emperor Hongwen let out a cold snort, and the second prince trembled all over immediately, and the look of fear in his eyes was even worse.

"I know I'm dull, but I don't know how to think too much about things. I'm so impulsive and reckless. Do you know that sometimes a single impulse can kill you for life?"

The second prince was frightened to the point of tearing his guts apart.

He has never been reprimanded so severely by his father in such a big age.

In his heart, his father was very dissatisfied with him. At this moment, his heart was full of fear, and he couldn't say a word at all.

"How important is Wanfu Xiangjun to my Dongzhou and my royal family? Since you know it, why didn't you choose to avoid it in the first place?"

Emperor Hongwen wholeheartedly wanted to bring Lord Wanfu into the royal family for his use.

And has already given the words, intending to give marriage.

Although he was rejected by Lord Wanfu Township, he didn't give up completely. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of going to Baizhen Building to do the promotion of pork.

Introduce the second prince to Wanfu Township Lord, so that he can walk more with Wanfu Township Lord.

It is best to win the heart.

But he never expected that before he even took this first step, the second prince would meet him first.

"I know I was wrong."

"Wrong?"

Emperor Hongwen's voice sank again.

"Do you think I'm angry only because of Lord Wanfu?"

"It is true that Lord Wanfu Township has a great effect on Dongzhou and the royal family, but she is a subject, who are you?"

"The current second prince, my son, in public, has given up his confidant because of her warning."

"How do you let others see you, who will dare to follow you in the future?"

"A dignified prince, but because of a warning from a courtier, he timidly backed away. He has no royal dignity at all, and he has completely lost the royal family's face."

"You can't even understand your own mistakes, so you still have the face to say you know your mistakes?"

Such harsh words, like a sharp knife, almost destroyed the second prince's fragile heart.

"Father, calm down."

"Incompetent bungler."

"Get the hell out of here, stay in prison for a month, and think about how to be a prince."

How dare the second prince say anything at this time?
Kneeling on the ground, he repeatedly admitted his mistake and thanked him.

After the second prince retreated, Emperor Hongwen's expression softened a lot, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

As he said just now, even though Wanfu Xiangjun is of great use to Dongzhou, he is also very useful to him.

But she still made him feel very dissatisfied that she didn't give his son face in such a public place on the street.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Li De, do you think I have been too kind to Wanfu?"

Hearing this, Li De arched his body and said, "Your Majesty is kind and generous, and has always treated meritorious ministers with great favor."

"When I was free yesterday, I thought about this matter carefully, and felt that there was something unreasonable in it."

"Oh?"

Emperor Hongwen came with some interest.
