Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 554: Brother-in-law, what's wrong with your expression? (Subscribe please!!)

However, Zhu Biao was also very clear that the Ming Dynasty was changing almost every day, and as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally had to keep pace with the times!

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen were his legitimate sons. The future Crown Prince and heir of the Ming Dynasty would be chosen from between the two of them, so they also needed to learn in advance.

"Brother-in-law, no matter how hard it is, we will keep studying."

Zhu Biao expressed his position immediately.

"Yes." Ouyang Lun nodded. "Your attitude is good. I hope you can stick to this idea in the future!"

"Okay, let's start the class now!"

Half an hour passed quickly.

"That's all for today. You can use the remaining time to consolidate what I just said. If you have any questions, you can ask me!"

Ouyang Lun said slowly.

Zhu Biao looked confused, "Is this the end?"

"Brother Emperor, do you mean that I haven't learned enough and need me to explain a little more?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"Enough, enough!" Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, and then said, "Brother-in-law, I think it's still a little early. Do you want to repeat what you just said so that we can consolidate it?"

"These are the most basic and simple contents. There is no need to repeat them." Ouyang Lun shook his head. Suddenly he thought of something. He looked at Zhu Biao and asked meaningfully, "Brother Emperor, do you think you didn't understand?"

Cough
Upon hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao immediately started coughing awkwardly.

Be conscientious.

Zhu Biao was really listening carefully, but for some reason, when Ouyang Lun was talking, he felt inexplicably sleepy and almost fell asleep several times. He pinched his thigh hard to stay awake.

When Ouyang Lun was speaking, Zhu Biao was actively taking notes, but when he felt sleepy, his hand and pen were completely out of control. Now the notes in front of him looked like a piece of peach charms!
The result is that I am completely confused about what Ouyang Lun said. If I say I understand it, it seems to make sense, but if I say I don’t understand it, my head is a mess.

Come to think of it, Zhu Biao was already in his thirties, and a lot of his energy was already consumed in government affairs. Now he was asked to study hard like a schoolchild, which was indeed a bit difficult for Zhu Biao.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly awkward.

After a moment, Zhu Biao thought of a solution, and then turned to his two sons and asked, "Xiongying, Yunwen, did you two not understand? If you don't understand, your father will ask your fourth uncle to explain it again!"

The words fell.

Zhu Xiongying first looked at Zhu Biao, then at his neat and tidy notes, and then he said, "Fourth Uncle, Xiongying did not quite understand some of what you said. Please explain it again to clear up my confusion!"

But Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up.

This is a good opportunity for him to show his ability!
No matter what kind of learning he had done before, he was never as good as Zhu Xiongying. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying didn't understand something today, while Zhu Yunwen was in a very good state today and learned everything that Ouyang Lun said.

I must perform in front of my father today!
Even his father and Zhu Xiongying didn't understand, but he did. Doesn't this prove that Zhu Yunwen is very smart and better than Zhu Xiongying! !

Zhu Yunwen became very excited when he thought of this.

"Fourth Uncle, I understand everything. I don't think you need to explain it any further!"

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking to Ouyang Lun, he turned to look at Zhu Xiongying and said with some pride: "Brother, what's wrong with you today? You are totally out of shape! In my opinion, you should not trouble Fourth Uncle. I will tell you later."

"Father, you didn't understand, did you?"

"I have listened to everything Fourth Uncle said."

Forehead.
When Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Yunwen said, his face looked extremely embarrassed.

Oh shit!

I actually don’t learn as fast as my son.

So should I continue to persevere or pretend to know something when I don't?

But from Ouyang Lun's eyes, it can be seen that he, Ouyang Lun, has understood everything and seen through everything.

No matter what you do, it will be embarrassing.

Zhu Yunwen just didn't give face to his father. Zhu Xiongying, on the other hand, obviously had mastered it very well, but he still wanted to listen to the explanation again. In fact, it was totally unnecessary. It was obviously for his old father!

In comparison, Zhu Xiongying seems more sensible.

And Zhu Yunwen is like a fool!
Ouyang Lun naturally saw through all of this.

"Brother Emperor, you can't do this!"

"Although a lot of government affairs consume a lot of your energy, but now that you have started studying, you must concentrate on it."

"Look at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Xiongying. They know more than you do, and they are better than you!"

"You need to reflect on this."

When Zhu Biao heard Ouyang Lun's words, he looked even more embarrassed.

"Please forgive me, brother-in-law. I was not paying attention this time." Zhu Biao said helplessly.

After saying this, Zhu Biao felt quite unhappy.

How could it be that he, as a father, is not as capable as his son?

How can he, as the father, save his face?
"Ahem, brother-in-law, I'm just not in a good mood today. Next time, I will definitely study hard and master all the knowledge you teach me!"

"Yeah, just try your best. I don't have high hopes for you anyway!"

Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Uh" Zhu Biao felt more and more uncomfortable.

In order to take care of Zhu Biao, Ouyang Lun patiently told it again.

"Okay, one hour is up, today's lecture ends here, go down and practice more! Don't make excuses every time."

"Brother Emperor, why are you looking at me? I didn't say it was you."

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao silently held his forehead with his hand.

"Xiongying, Yunwen, you two go out and wait. Father, I have something to discuss with your fourth uncle."

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen to leave again. "Emperor, brother-in-law, you are not going to do anything else, are you going to let us go?" Ouyang Lun said helplessly.

"Of course he can go, but I still want to discuss it with my brother-in-law." Zhu Biao said.

"Let me give you some special treatment?" Ouyang Lun waved his hand. "I advise you not to waste your time on that. Don't you know that a new brain works better? Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen are both in their prime, why do you have to compete with them?"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Zhu Biao said helplessly, "Brother-in-law, I'm just asking you, what do you think of Xiongying and Yunwen?"

"One is steady, the other is naughty. Both of them are smart. Didn't I say that a long time ago?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhu Biao shook his head.

"So what do you mean?" Ouyang Lun asked deliberately.

At this moment, Ouyang Lun was already complaining in his heart.

Wanting answers but not explaining things clearly, Zhu Biao is becoming more and more cunning!

"Ahem, brother-in-law, what I mean is, who do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne, Xiongying or Yunwen?" Zhu Biao asked.

After asking this question, Zhu Biao focused all his attention on Ouyang Lun, not wanting to miss any details.

It is indeed this.
Ouyang Lun smiled helplessly inwardly, but on the surface he began to think.

After "thinking" for a while, he slowly said, "Brother Emperor, I think it's a little early to talk about this now!"

"After all, you just ascended the throne."

Ouyang Lun thought about it again and said, "But it's not impossible to consider it in advance."

"Xiong Ying is a calm and kind-hearted child, very similar to you, the emperor's brother-in-law. He is also the eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the most suitable candidate for the crown prince of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao nodded, "Brother-in-law, you hit the nail on the head. I also think Xiongying is more suitable to be the crown prince, but Xiongying's health is not very good, and Yunwen is also a good child, but his biological mother is my queen. I am really a little embarrassed."

Ouyang Lun looked strange, "Yun Wen this child..."

I couldn't help but think of Zhu Yunwen, the future emperor who roared and shouted about reducing the power of the princes but eventually lost his throne.

"Zhu Yunwen is smart and lively, but he has a bit of an extreme personality and tends to go to extremes. Ahem, brother-in-law of the emperor, I think you shouldn't be too anxious and just let nature take its course!"

Ouyang Lun is now unsure about the future.

Originally, Zhu Xiongying died of smallpox a few years ago, but he was cured and has lived well until now.

And Zhu Biao directly inherited the throne under his bold operation and became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the true sense, which made up for a small regret, but the price was that the future direction became increasingly out of control.

Ouyang Lun had actually already come to terms with this. The history of the Ming Dynasty had already changed when he appeared here. As the so-called butterfly effect goes, he, the butterfly, will eventually meet his own destiny.

He really couldn't say for sure who would become the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty between Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen.

From the current perspective, there is no doubt that it is Zhu Xiongying, after all, he is the eldest son. But those who know the history of the Ming Dynasty know that Zhu Yunwen is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that Zhu Yunwen is the son of destiny.

After such a long period of observation, Ouyang Lun discovered that everyone's fate is generally the same, just with different differences.

Just like Hu Weiyong. He was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and a large number of people were implicated.

If this is the case, Zhu Xiongying will face many challenges if he wants to ascend to the throne, such as physical health and so on. This is equivalent to fighting against fate. Once the fight fails, the outcome can be imagined. In addition, Zhu Xiongying's future is dark and there is no reference!

Zhu Yunwen currently seems to have little chance, but he is the man of destiny after all, and some things are really uncertain.

Seeing that Ouyang Lun was unable to give him a definite answer, Zhu Biao could only nod helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, maybe you are right. It is too early to consider these things now. Moreover, it is not fair to Xiongying to think so. According to etiquette, the position of crown prince should be his. But there is always a voice in my heart that forces me to think about Yunwen!"

Seeing Zhu Biao's anxious look, Ouyang Lun reached out and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, "Man makes things happen, God makes things happen, and we can't do everything."

"You may be like this because you have been too tired recently."

"Since you have entrusted Xiongying and Yunwen to me, I will do my best to teach them. I am not sure about other things, but when it comes to training people, I am second to none and no one dares to claim to be first!"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao's expression eased a lot, "In this case, I'll leave Xiong Ying and Yun Wen to my brother-in-law."

"Oh, by the way, brother-in-law, you also know that the emperor lives next door to you now. You should be careful when educating Xiongying and Yunwen. Of course, I am not saying to indulge them or not educate them. You just need to educate them, but don't let the emperor know. You know his character."

"Brother Emperor, you've reminded me." Ouyang Lun couldn't help but mutter, "Let me tell you, ever since our father-in-law, the retired emperor, moved in, things have been stolen from my clan residence every now and then. This kind of thing has happened in the imperial palace."

"I now suspect that the people in Taile Palace are not honest!"

"Don't let me catch him, I'll have to give him a good beating!"

When Zhu Biao heard what Ouyang Lun said, his expression immediately became extremely strange.

"Brother Emperor, what's wrong with your expression?"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's question, Zhu Biao quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I guess it's because he stayed up all night reviewing memorials. He'll be fine after a rest!"

"Brother-in-law, it's impossible that a thief broke in just now. Our Daming Palace is strictly managed. How could we let a thief in? Maybe you are overthinking it, or maybe the people below remembered it wrongly."

"Is it like this?"

Ouyang Lun asked with a little doubt.

"Of course. How about this? I will ask the guards in the palace to patrol your clan house more often. If a thief is caught, he will be handed over to you immediately for handling. " Zhu Biao nodded.

"That's a good idea. Thank you, brother-in-law, the emperor!" said Ouyang Lun.

"Haha, let's not be so formal, brothers." Seeing that Ouyang Lun no longer doubted him, Zhu Biao was also happy and put his arm around Ouyang Lun's shoulders. "Brother-in-law, you are the Prime Minister of the dynasty now, so don't worry about these little things. If there is really anything missing, I will make it up for you."

"It's a small matter?" Ouyang Lun looked at Zhu Biao in surprise. "Brother Emperor, do you know what I lost? Things like Maotai and food are still good. If you sell them, they are only worth a few hundred thousand taels. The key is that many firearms and books were also stolen. These are nothing to me. I can just make them and rewrite them. But if these things fall into the hands of other people with ulterior motives, it will be a big deal!"

"If you don't care, Brother Emperor, then I have nothing to say. Also, if Brother Emperor really wants compensation, then give me 10 million first. I'll ask someone to calculate the losses when I get back and tell you the rest."

Ouyang Lun looked like he was thinking about settling the score.

"what!"

"Ten million taels? Brother-in-law, you are not kidding me, right?"
