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

"Lao San, what do you mean?"

Zhu Zhen heard a different meaning and looked up at Zhu Mengwan blankly.

Zhu Mengwan explained, "Given Grandfather's character, if he knew what Father had done, he would be furious and would send troops to arrest us and take us back. There is no need to send a head to warn you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhen thought it made sense.

Cheating in the imperial examination, or the princes assisting scholars in cheating, allowed a group of people with no ability to enter the Ming Dynasty court. The circumstances were extremely serious and almost amounted to rebellion.

If he continued to care about this, Zhu Zhen knew that he would be doomed.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Zhen's behavior was almost like rebellion, he would be more angry than anyone else. He would definitely not ask people to send heads over, but would actually send troops to capture people.

The heads that are being sent over now don't seem like something Zhu Yuanzhang could do.

Zhu Mengwan added: "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always considered himself filial. What my father did was unfilial and would anger my grandfather. I guess he might not dare to tell my grandfather about my father, but in the future when my grandfather is gone, he will definitely settle accounts with my father."

After hearing this analysis, Zhu Zhen felt that it made sense.

Zhu Zhen knew very well what kind of person Old Zhu was. Besides, he was so old, so if he knew what Old Zhu had done now, he would definitely be very angry and furious.

For example, last year Zhu Quan embezzled military pay, which made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely angry.

They also knew that Zhu Xuan always claimed to be filial and the most filial to Zhu Yuanzhang. So according to Zhu Mengwan's statement, this is very likely the case.

"The head was sent by Zhu Yunxuan's illegitimate son."

Zhu Zhen finally calmed down a lot and said, "That illegitimate child is warning me!"

"That's right!"

Zhu Mengwan was thinking exactly this, and added: "That illegitimate child dared not tell anyone about his father's affairs in front of his filial son."

Zhu Zhen said coldly: "Pretending!"

They have always been unhappy with Zhu Xuan and have some prejudice against him. They believe that everything Zhu Xuan did was deliberate and he was just pretending to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor so that he could continue to be favored.

"Then he will definitely settle accounts with all of us in the future!"

Zhu Zhen's voice became very cold, and he said in a cold voice: "He will definitely not let go of all our vassal kings."

In fact, these princes didn't know that they didn't want to let Zhu Xuan go. As long as they behaved themselves, Zhu Xuan would not do anything to them. Of course, the power of the princes would be reduced in the future, including their military power.

"Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Zhu Zhen said harshly that he always believed it was Zhu Xuan's fault.

The unkind and unjust person is Zhu Xuan, not himself. This is to shift all the blame from himself to Zhu Xuan.

"Father!"

Zhu Mengwan added: "We don't need to do anything now. Just pretend that the head doesn't exist and wait for the next news. There is no need to deliberately go to Beijing to confess the crime."

He was still very confident that this matter would not be too troublesome.

Zhu Xuan would definitely not tell all this. The head was just sent by Zhu Xuan as a small warning to Zhu Zhen. He would not take action now, but he might not do so in the future.

If Zhu Zhen went to Beijing to apologize now, then he would be truly guilty.

Given Lao Zhu's character, he probably won't let him go.

Last time, Zhu Quan still had a way to get away with it, but Zhu Zhen really had no way. He couldn't find anyone to take the blame for this incident, and he couldn't shirk responsibility. Everything was his own fault.

"you're right!"

Zhu Zhen calmed down and thought of a lot of things, then he slowly exhaled.

I almost couldn't wait to go back to the capital.

Fortunately, Zhu Mengwan reminded him. He thought to himself, it's no wonder that he likes Zhu Mengwan so much. This son is really good. "Then, wait!"

Zhu Zhen said solemnly.

He cannot be impulsive and must remain calm so as not to lose his composure.

However, what they didn't know was that a member of the Imperial Guard had been hiding on the roof and eavesdropped on everything. He immediately left, compiled the contents of the conversation into a telegram, and sent it back to Nanjing.

-

Zhu Xuan quickly obtained this information.

"My cousin is calmer than my sixth uncle."

"They look quite interesting. I thought they would rebel directly, but they don't dare to do so!"

Zhu Xuan looked at the telegram and thought in his mind at the same time.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, no vassal king of the Ming Dynasty dares to rebel. If they do, they will die, and that death will be a miserable one!

“It seems a bit of a pity.”

Zhu Xuan grumbled in his heart, but soon ignored it.

If we force Zhu Zhen now, he will feel panic and the threat from the future. Then the future Zhu Zhen will definitely rebel, making it easier for Zhu Xuan to clean them up directly.

Zhu Xuan threw the telegram to Hou Xian and asked him to burn it somewhere.

After dealing with all this, Zhu Xuan was about to go out for a walk, but when he saw Wen Gui trotting in, he said happily, "Dad!"

Everyone else in Wenhua Pavilion bowed and saluted to Wen Gui, but when they saw the person behind Wen Gui, they knelt down directly.

"father!"

Wen Gui ran to Zhu Xuan and hugged his legs.

Zhu Xuan picked up the brat, looked ahead, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Emperor, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Today is the day when the results are announced. Let's go out for a walk. Do you have time?"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Of course there is time, grandson will arrange it first."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "No, we'll go out incognito. No need to make any arrangements. We'll leave the palace right away! My dear grandson should also take a look at the reactions of the scholars outside. This is the imperial examination of our Ming Dynasty, and it's also my dear grandson's imperial examination."

"Okay!"

Zhu Xuan thought that made sense and that he should indeed go out for a walk.

He packed up simply, took Wen Gui with him, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the palace slowly.

After receiving the order, the Jinyiwei had already taken action and prepared various protective measures for them to leave the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer asked about the cheating, nor did he dwell on whether it was done by the White Lotus Sect. After all, everything was now over and there was nothing else.

Arrived outside the palace, where the results were announced.

Here they can see groups of readers gathered waiting.

Those scholars who didn't have much money stood on the street, while those who had some money were upstairs in the inn. They looked outside from the second floor, their eyes burning as they looked at the gate, feeling unprecedented anticipation.

In the morning he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening he ascended to the Hall of the Son of Heaven.

This is the only opportunity for many educated people to cross class boundaries. As long as they do well in the exam, everything is possible. Knowledge can change destiny.

Scholars in ancient times relied on this to change their fate. (End of this chapter)
