Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Soon, it was night.

Zhu Xuan went back to accompany his little girl Rongrong first, but was soon sent away by Tie Xiuying to see Cen Hua. Now Hua was also pregnant and needed company.

He had no choice but to put Rongrong down and go to Cen Hua.

"Your Highness!"

Cen Hua was very surprised to see Zhu Xuan coming and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Originally I wanted to play with Rongrong, but Xiuying kicked me out, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Cen Hua understood immediately that Tie Xiuying wanted Zhu Xuan to spend more time with her, and said happily, "I will go to thank Sister Xiuying tomorrow. Your Highness, come in first. Have you had dinner?"

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said, "Not yet!"

"Someone, serve dinner!"

Cen Hua said loudly.

The palace maid beside him heard the order and hurried out to make all arrangements for Zhu Xuan.

Now Cen Hua's belly has shown signs of a slight bulge, and the baby is growing healthily in her belly. Zhu Xuan gently caressed her for a while and reminded her: "You must have a good rest recently and don't have any negative emotions anymore, understand?"

The affairs of the Cen family were settled not long after.

Zhu Xuan was still a little worried that his young wife's wild thoughts would affect the fetus.

A person's emotions are sometimes also important to the growth of the fetus.

"Your Highness, I understand."

Cen Hua snuggled in Zhu Xuan's arms and said, "I won't let my imagination run wild. I've let it go long ago."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you. It would be best if you can let it go. Our Hua'er has always been the strongest."

"Yes!"

Cen Hua smiled and said, "I have always been strong."

She hugged Zhu Xuan again and smiled happily.

After a while, various dishes were served one after another.

Zhu Xuan stayed with her for the whole night.

The next morning, it was Cen Hua who took the initiative to wake Zhu Xuan up, combed his hair and arranged his clothes, and said, "Your Highness, you need to go to court today and cannot be late."

"Certainly not!"

Zhu Xuan kissed her gently and went out.

When they arrived at the hall, all the officials were in place.

Zhu Xuan announced the official start of the court meeting, but as soon as he sat down, an official came forward.

"Your Highness, I have something to report."

The first person to speak was not the censor from the Censorate, but the Hanlin scholar Li Zhigang.

"What's the matter?"

When Zhu Xuan saw this guy stand up, and then looked at the other ministers, and at the same time set his eyes on Li Zhigang, he understood what the key points that needed to be discussed at today's court meeting were.

Although there is nothing wrong with the second brother's approach, it will still bring some subsequent troubles.

Zhu Xuan even felt that someone was deliberately spreading the news of Zhu Yunhuan's murder behind his back. Soon the news spread back to the court, as if someone was leading the trend. However, he didn't need to think about it to know that the person leading the trend must be the White Lotus Sect.

As long as they can bring trouble to Zhu Xuan and his men, the people of the White Lotus Sect will be happy to do so. They will not give Zhu Xuan a peaceful life.

Zhu Xuan was helpless about this.

After all, there was no other way but to destroy the White Lotus Sect.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Wei was assassinated in Pyongyang."

"Your Highness Prince Wei cannot find out who the assassin was, but he believes there is a traitor in the palace who cooperated with the assassin. However, he also cannot find out who the traitor in the palace is."

"So, His Highness killed all the people in Prince Wei's Mansion to eliminate the traitors."

"I think this is too cruel." Li Zhigang said loudly.

As expected, someone impeached Zhu Yunhuan because of this incident.

Those civil servants could not tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. In their opinion, killing people indiscriminately was wrong. It was the behavior of a cruel prince and should not happen to Zhu Yunhuan.

They need to set things right, help Zhu Yunhuan correct this problem, and never allow similar things to happen again.

"I also think that what Your Highness Prince Wei did is indeed inappropriate."

As a representative of Confucianism, Duke Yansheng Kong Gongjian stepped forward and said, "You can investigate the assassin normally, but killing him without caring about anything is so detrimental to benevolence and righteousness, and it should not be done by the grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xuan listened and asked, "If the assassin is never found, and the traitor in Prince Wei's mansion is never found, and is allowed to continue to exist, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous to my second brother?"

Kong Gongjian thought for a moment and said, "Since we can't find anything, we can just expel the people from Prince Wei's Mansion."

Zhu Xuan: "..."

This guy and his words almost broke Zhu Xuan's defense.

If you can't find the person, just expel him and let the assassin go!
This idea was quite novel, and Zhu Xuan didn't know how to respond to Kong Gongjian's clever statement.

"Your Highness!"

Hu Guang echoed, "What His Royal Highness Prince Wei did was indeed inappropriate. Not only will it leave a reputation of cruelty, it will also damage the dignity and justice of the royal family. Please punish His Royal Highness Prince Wei."

"Please, Your Highness, punish His Royal Highness Prince Wei!"

They said together in unison.

They were forcing him to punish his second brother, and Zhu Xuan felt a headache.

It’s just killing a few people!
"All right!"

Seeing them like this, Zhu Xuan said, "I will ask Grandfather the Emperor to issue an imperial decree to punish my second brother. You should also know that he is my second brother and a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. How can I presumptuously punish him?"

After these words were spoken, they finally quieted down.

Normally speaking, it would be more appropriate for Zhu Yuanzhang to issue an edict.

Zhu Xuan's actions were somewhat against the rules, so he stopped submitting the memorial.

"Your Highness!"

Ru Chang said: "Recently, there have been turmoil everywhere on the border of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the general in charge of suppressing the turmoil was cruel to those who caused the turmoil. He basically wiped them out. This is against the harmony of heaven!"

The news of the killings in the border areas also spread back to Nanjing.

Those who were responsible for suppressing the rebellion were only to kill. That was Zhu Xuan's order. When he heard Ru Chang mention it, Zhu Xuan asked, "How does it harm the harmony of heaven?"

"Too many murders!"

Ru Chang said in a clear voice: "Your Highness, you can't kill people indiscriminately. Once this loophole is opened, it may cause serious consequences."

They naturally knew that the order was given by Zhu Xuan.

If it weren't for Zhu Xuan's order, the generals who were responsible for suppressing the rebellion would never dare to kill people indiscriminately.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate!"

Kong Gongjian said again.

He has always regarded himself as Teacher Zhu Xuan. Now that his students are doing this, he, as a teacher, must correct it.

"Do you remember the smallpox incident?"

Zhu Xuan asked rhetorically.

Everyone nodded at the same time. Of course they remembered it and were deeply impressed.

At that time, the entire Yingtian Prefecture was blocked by Zhu Xuan. If it were not for Zhu Xuan's fierce measures, his ability to turn the tide, and his good epidemic prevention plan, the entire Ming Dynasty would have suffered.

It is impossible to predict how many people will die in Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Xuan said: "That was the smallpox disaster deliberately created by the White Lotus Sect, which is against the harmony of nature. Those who are causing chaos on the border are all members of the White Lotus Sect. I killed them all to avenge the people who died that year. How can this be against the harmony of nature?"
