Daming: I am the Crown Prince

After attending court, Zhu Yunhuan hurried to Fengxian Hall. He still had some important things to do.

The Crown Prince Zhu Shangbing of Qin, the Crown Prince Zhu Jihui of Jin, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi of Yan and the Crown Prince Zhu Youdun of Zhou have already arrived in Yingtian Prefecture and have formally submitted their congratulatory messages.

Princes are not allowed to come to Yingtian Prefecture when a new emperor ascends the throne. According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, during the first three years after the new emperor ascends the throne, princes are not allowed to come to the capital, and congratulations are temporarily suppressed.

It can only be that the upper has the policy, and the lower has the countermeasure. The princes cannot come to Yingtian Prefecture, but the princes can still come. Especially these princes, they all have a very good relationship with Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Youdun was an exception. He did not study with Zhu Yunhuan when he was young, but Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Su had a good relationship. Moreover, Zhu Su was the legitimate son of Zhu Yunhuan, so he was still treated with some preferential treatment.

The first thing Zhu Jihui and others did when they arrived in Yingtian Prefecture was to go to Fengxian Temple to offer sacrifices. All of this was the rules set by Zhu.

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan, wearing the emperor's crown and holding a large sceptre in his hand, standing in front of the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Jihuan and others were a little dazed.

Including Zhu Yunwen who is now in Hangzhou, there were five brothers who grew up together. Only Zhu Yunwen was the most naughty and the most dissolute, and he could even be said to be the most disliked.

But now, Zhu Yunwen, who had been praised since childhood, has long been dejected and has been enfeoffed in Hangzhou, and the throne has no chance for him. And Zhu Yunhuan, who was not favored by anyone, has already put on the dragon robe.

People's circumstances and so on are really unpredictable. Sometimes the changes are so sudden that people are dumbfounded and unable to react.

Zhu Yunhuan accepted the tributes from his cousins ​​with a stern face, looking so arrogant and proud.

"Gao Chi!" Zhu Yunhuan looked at the chubby Zhu Gao Chi and said, "Now you are the prince of Yan Wang, and I am the Emperor Chengkang of Ming Dynasty. What else do you have to say now?"

For a moment, Zhu Gaochi and others seemed to have returned to their youth. At that time, Zhu Yunhuan was such a hateful person and was extremely naughty.

He also liked to bully Zhu Gaochi, who was the same age as him, because Zhu Gaochi was a little older and also because Zhu Gaochi liked reading and loved quietness, but Zhu Yunhuan was a person who could not sit still.

Zhu Gaochi could only say, "I, the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty!"

Zhu Yunhuan raised his chin slightly, looking at people with his nose up, "I still remember that when I was a child, you didn't give me homework, which caused me to be scolded by the teacher and father. How do you think we should settle this account?"

Zhu Gaochi's fat face suddenly turned the color of liver. He naturally remembered these things. But those absurd things were done by the emperor in front of him, and the mistakes were not made by him, the prince of Yan.

Zhu Jihui couldn't help laughing and helped Zhu Gaochi out. "Your Majesty, I remember that the Prince of Yan had finished his homework, but Your Majesty hadn't done any. Your Majesty wanted to snatch the Prince of Yan's homework, but was stopped."

Zhu Yunhuan was unhappy, "Prince Jin, do you mean that I don't do my homework and I want to snatch the homework of Prince Yan?"

Zhu Jihui nodded. He was three years older than Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Gaochi, and was the second grandson of the old Zhu. He was only one year younger than Zhu Xiongying. He was also the oldest among the old Zhu's grandsons.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately looked at Zhu Shangbing, who was the youngest among the brothers at the time, "Prince Qin, Prince Jin, did you remember it wrong?"

Zhu Shangbing suppressed his laughter and said, "Your Majesty, I am two years younger than you, and I don't remember much at that time. I just remember that the Prince of Yan was often beaten by your Majesty and cried, and I remember that the emperor's uncle scolded your Majesty for it."

Zhu Youdun was envious. He couldn't participate in these topics because he was younger.

When he first arrived in Yingtian Prefecture to study with his cousins, his father was driven back to his hometown for leaving his fiefdom without permission, so he returned to the Zhou Palace at the age of ten to look after the family business.

Zhu Yunhuan laughed loudly and said, "We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. It's just that Yunwen didn't come. Otherwise, I would have asked him to kowtow to me, and I would be the emperor!"

The others didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhu Yunhuan seemed to have not changed, and was still the same as before. But now they had to consider his identity, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After the sacrifice in Fengxian Hall is over, it is reasonable to go to the side hall to exchange family greetings, but since they are all of the same generation, there is no need to be completely polite about some things.

As soon as he arrived at the side hall, Zhu Wenyao came running over, "Dad."

"Call someone." Looking at Zhu Wenyao, Zhu Yunxun said with a smile, "Your uncles, there are two who claim to be my brothers, but now they don't even have a child, they are also useless!"

Zhu Wenyao leaned on Zhu Yunhuan's thigh, looking curiously at the uncles in front of him. He didn't know any of them, but that didn't stop him from looking at them curiously and smiling happily.

Zhu Jihui immediately said, "Your Highness, please stop talking. I have been urged to do something since I got married. But there are some things that cannot be done just by being urged!"

Zhu Jihui's Crown Princess was the daughter of Fu Youde, and Zhu Youdun was also married.

Zhu Gaochi laughed and said proudly, "I also have a son, which means my second brother is the oldest. Now, Yunwen, Your Majesty and I are all younger than my second brother."

Isn't Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji, and his wife was from a military family, Commander Zhang Lin. It's not a noble family with a title, but it's acceptable.

Because Zhu Youdun's Crown Prince's wife was also the daughter of the military commander, her status was neither high nor low, so it was natural that she was more appropriate.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately joked, "So what if you have a child? Fourth uncle likes Gao Xu, he is good at riding and shooting, has strong arms, and is the most like fourth uncle! You, the prince of Yan, are fat, fourth uncle doesn't like it!"

Zhu Gaochi touched his chubby face and sucked in his stomach. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am a little fat, but I am not obese! Besides, even if my father is partial, he will not abolish my position as the crown prince."

Naturally, a good buddy would poke holes in someone's lungs, especially someone like Zhu Yunhuan who had been disliked since childhood and whose words were even more hurtful, like a mouth full of poison.

Looking at Zhu Yunhuan's appearance, Zhu Jihui and others no longer thought about it. Some situations seemed to be the same as when they were young.

Yunhu is still the same Yunhu. Although he is now the emperor, he still has a harmonious relationship with his brothers and still has some seemingly dandy and unreliable qualities.

If you think about it carefully, maybe it would be better for him to be the emperor. Compared with Yunwen, who has been well-behaved, wise and intelligent since childhood, Yunhu is obviously more humane, while Yunwen is simply a "fake person".

The throne, whether it was Zhu Shangbing or Zhu Jihui, they all understood that it had nothing to do with them. Even when Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Yunwen were fighting, these princes and princes just didn't take sides. When they were young and ignorant, they might have thought that Yunwen was more suitable, and they would feel a little aggrieved for him because he was driven to Hangzhou. But now it's different, after all, now they know a lot of things.

There is no need to talk about Zhu Shangbing. If it were not for Zhu Yunhuan's care, King Qin Zhu Chong would have been poisoned to death by the two old women long ago.

Zhu Jihui always valued brotherly love, and Zhu Yunhuan also valued Zhu Gang very much. The defense of the northwest was basically handed over to Jin Wang Zhu Gang. However, this Jin Wang prince often expressed dissatisfaction with Zhu Di after he usurped the throne, and was once demoted to a commoner.

As for Zhu Gaochi, he looked chubby and honest, but he was actually a black-and-white person. He was well aware of some political affairs and political schemes, and seemed to be more suitable to be a vassal king than Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

Zhu Youdun seemed to be an unknown person, but he also knew that among the current princes, the one who had the best relationship with Zhu Yunhuan was actually his father, Prince of Zhou Zhu Su. It was said that they were each other's confidants and were described by the emperor's grandfather as having similar interests.

Zhu Yunhuan proudly held Zhu Wenyao's hand and said, "Look at your uncles, they are all weird. This is a prince, but none of them knows etiquette and don't even bring you gifts."

"Why not? Yes!" Zhu Shangbing was the first to get anxious. "Let's not talk about what I brought. Father specially prepared a lot of things, all for my nephew!"

Zhu Yunhuan asked, "Is it possible that Second Uncle is robbing the people of their money again? If he really treats the people harshly again, I can't say anything."

Zhu Shangbing was immediately embarrassed. His father had a lot of dark history. "He's much better now. He has restrained himself. He only enjoys himself in the palace. He got some good things when he went back to suppress the barbarians last time."

Zhu Yunhuan subconsciously patted Zhu Gaochi's belly and immediately said with disgust, "You must be motionless again. You used to be able to shoot arrows, but can you still do it now? You should move around more, you are so fat!"

Zhu Wenyao spoke first. Children love the people, "Dad, Dad!"

To be honest, Zhu Wenyao has always been very happy. Everyone praises him for being chubby and white and cute, so this child likes to show off his puffy belly and the fat on his face.

Zhu Gaochi said quickly, "Now let's shoot some arrows. My father went to Daning some time ago, and I have to deal with many things in Beiping."

"You've gained experience by letting Fourth Uncle go to war." Zhu Yunxun laughed. "I asked you guys to patrol the border before, and you will definitely have to do so in the future. Fourth Uncle must be very happy and is thinking about the Northern Expedition, right?"

Zhu Gaochi immediately said, "That's right. Father is thinking about sending troops and is waiting for the order from His Majesty. Uncle Ning is the same. One of them is good at fighting and the other is good at making plans. They both want to fight the Tartars."

Ning Wang Zhu Quan was also a capable man, and he was eager to try in Daning. Now that Zhu Di was given the task of rectifying the southern desert, the two brothers were already gearing up for the fight.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Zhu Jihuan and said, "Third Uncle must be the same. Building cities and dividing grasslands have long made him impatient. It must be because of an imperial decree, otherwise he would have led his troops to fight the Tartars."

Before Zhu Jihui could say anything, Zhu Shangbing complained, "My father was the same. When the barbarians rebelled, there were only a few hundred people at most, and he was very happy to suppress them. I just don't understand why everyone likes to fight so much?"

Zhu Gaochi and others felt the same way. Their fathers seemed to be war maniacs, and they were very enthusiastic when talking about fighting. What's more, they really knew and understood soldiers, and they had fought in several battles and performed well.

"You guys are going to fight in the future, too. Do you really think that the vassal kings guarding the border is just a casual talk?" Old Zhu's voice suddenly came from outside the palace. Old Zhu, with a head full of white hair, walked in with a smile, "What are you guys doing here? Are you kidding me?"

Zhu Jihui and the others hurriedly saluted, feeling somewhat nervous, because they were just joking in the side hall of the Fengxian Hall, and although it was not a place like the main hall, it would be disrespectful if Zhu was serious.

Seeing these grandchildren asking for forgiveness one by one in a restless manner, Old Zhu just smiled. He knew that these grandchildren were afraid of him. Not to mention the grandchildren, even his sons were afraid of him.

"Grandfather." Zhu Wenyao immediately ran towards Old Zhu, "Grandfather."

Picking up Zhu Wenyao, Old Zhu said with a smile, "Seeing you brothers getting along well, I feel happy. Remember, we are all brothers, so take care of each other in the future."

Zhu Jihui and others hurriedly said, "Sun Chen will follow the instructions of his grandfather and will never forget them."

Zhu Yunhuan said sarcastically, "Grandfather, they must have forgotten about it the moment they turned around. I said I often took care of them when they were young, but they all refused to recognize me. This is Yingtian Prefecture, and these princes are just studying with me in the main hall."

Old Zhu rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunhuan and said, "You were an imperial grandson at that time, but you were not as noble as them. I think you are a scoundrel for taking care of them. They are sensible and don't bother to argue with a scoundrel like you!"

Zhu Gaochi and others were silent, as the emperor's grandfather really hit the nail on the head. Although the brothers had a good relationship when they were young, Zhu Yunhuan was really just a scoundrel.

Arguing with this scoundrel is meaningless if you win, and it's embarrassing if you lose, so it's better to be more magnanimous.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxun wanted to refute, Old Zhu smiled and said, "Let's take Wen Yao away, and you brothers can talk. You are only so noisy in front of your brothers, talk to them more."

Old Zhu still loves his grandchildren and wants to come and see Zhu Jihui and others with his own eyes. After all, they are all his grandchildren, and he still misses them quite a lot.

And seeing Zhu Yunhuan chatting and laughing with them, Old Zhu was of course even happier. His precious grandson had always been mature and steady over the years, and he only laughed and scolded in front of these brothers.

That's good. It's not good to keep everything in your heart. You always need someone to talk to.

Especially with Zhu Yunhuan's current status, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk to him, so these brothers naturally become even more rare.

Zhu Wenyao was anxious, twisting in Old Zhu's arms, "I won't leave!"

"Let's go fishing!" Old Zhu coaxed him, "Grandpa will take you to see the flowers and catch insects. Let's go horseback riding, okay?"

Zhu Yunhuan immediately spoke up, "Grandfather, Wen Yao is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. How can he just play around all the time?"

Old Zhu immediately glared at him, "You are just a kid, why don't you play now? You bastard, I don't even want to talk to you!"

Zhu Jihui and others stood aside silently. The emperor's grandfather had always been a double standard and did not hide his partiality. Now it seems that it is even more so! (End of this chapter)
