My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 33 Dad! Do better!

"Misunderstand?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he laughed meaningfully. Then he sat up slightly, put his hands on his knees, and leaned his upper body forward.

His eyes were fixed on Zhu Yunwen:
"Huang Zicheng took your cousins' opinions on the Xing'an Lingqu as your own achievement, and couldn't wait to come to us to take the credit for you. Yun Wen, do you think... this is a misunderstanding?"

Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned pale.

He turned his head and looked at Huang Zicheng who was kneeling on the ground with some disbelief. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words that came out of his mouth in the end were only:
"Grandpa Emperor, Huang Zicheng certainly made a mistake, but since this is only his first offense, please be lenient with him!"

When he heard this, Huang Zicheng suddenly looked up and looked at Zhu Yunwen, with a gleam in his eyes.

Obviously, he did not expect that Zhu Yunwen would stand up and speak for him even though he had done more harm than good.

At this moment, Huang Zicheng was deeply moved and excited, and even had an urge to die for Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen saw this scene, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on a high seat, naturally had a panoramic view of it as well.

He suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Yunwen protected Huang Zicheng and made Huang Zicheng return to his heart. With this experience, when he ascended the throne in the future and the country had a master, the two of them would get along well with each other, but...what about Zhu Gaoyu? What about the fourth brother's family?

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in a high position, and Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting below, lowered his head for a moment and missed the scene of his grandfather biting his cheek and holding back his anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to ask, in the heart of the Crown Prince, are foreign ministers like Huang Zicheng more important, or are his own uncles and cousins ​​more important?

Old Zhu didn't want to hide his temper in front of his grandson.

Thinking of this, he asked:
"Yun Wen, you asked us to be tolerant of Huang Zicheng, but have you ever thought about what to do with your cousins?"

Zhu Yunwen's expression froze, and he immediately lowered his head:
"Grandpa Emperor, I will go and apologize to my cousins."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked even more disappointed.

"Apologize? You are the crown prince. In this Ming Dynasty, after us, it is you. You are the crown prince, and you bow your head and admit your mistakes to your cousin for the sake of a foreign minister? How can you expect those princes to obey you in the future?"

The last sentence touched the pain in Zhu Yunwen's heart.

How to make the uncle prince obey him?
According to Zhu Yunwen, the Ming Dynasty was stable, so why did it need a vassal king to rule?
Since he wanted to be the Son of Heaven, he naturally had to become a great man like his grandfather the Emperor, standing tall between heaven and earth, and accomplish some resounding achievements.

However, in Zhu Yunwen's view, the existence of vassal kings was not helpful but a shackle that bound him.

At this moment, the atmosphere became tense again.

The teachers who had been standing by since the Crown Prince came in, wishing they could transform themselves into the pillars of the Qianqing Palace, even had an urge to tremble in fear.

Before this grandson and His Majesty get into a fight... can you let them go first...

They really don't want to hear so many royal "secrets".

In the hall, the eyes of Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang met in mid-air. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Yunwen had always been diligent and respectful, but this was the first time he opposed his opinion.

However, even if Zhu Yunwen resisted, he did not dare to speak out directly against his father Zhu Biao like his father Zhu Biao did. Instead, he expressed his attitude through silence.

After a long time, just when Zhu Yunwen felt his throat was a little dry, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came slowly:

"Let's all go back."

Walk out of the Qianqing Palace.

The sunlight hit people's bodies, and for a moment, it was actually a little dazzling.

Looking at Huang Zicheng, whose face was filled with gratitude, and recalling the look in the emperor's eyes before he left, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt a little confused.

Did he really do the right thing? For Huang Zicheng, he rebelled against the emperor and refused to bow his head. Was this decision worth it?
……

After Zhu Yunwen and others left, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time.

In the silence, he slowly spoke:
"Tomorrow... ask Gao Yu to come to the Qianqing Palace. We want to meet him."

What happened in the Qianqing Palace was a secret, but it was obviously impossible to keep it secret in such a huge imperial city.

Relying on the secret plan left by his father Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoyu successfully received news from the Qianqing Palace after dinner.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he exploded instantly. He slammed the table, stood up with a bang, and his face was full of anger:

"What the hell does he mean? He tolerates Huang Zicheng, but why didn't he come and ask us whether we agree or not?"

Zhu Gaosui also had a gloomy face at this moment:
"He said he would apologize, haha, that's easy for him to say. He is the grandson of the emperor, who are we? We are just sons of a vassal king. Except for my eldest brother who is the crown prince, even my second brother is only a prince. If he comes to apologize, how dare we refuse?"

After these words were spoken, before anyone else said anything, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong...

Why does this sound so unpleasant?

Zhu Gaoyu chuckled, "Apologize? Third brother, even if the crown prince wants to apologize, the emperor won't let him apologize. Who is he? Who are we?"

At this moment, the four brothers sighed in unison.

Ugh!
Dad!

Why are you so disappointing?
Zhu Gaochi saw how listless these brothers looked, and even though he felt unhappy, he still had to put on a brave face.

"Okay, okay, didn't you say you want to lose weight? Fourth brother, walk, walk, walk a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine."

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, feeling unhappy, and picked up his chopsticks again, devouring the leftovers on the table in a flash. At the end, he said without a frown:

"You are the ones who are fat, not me. I won't go!"

If Zhu Gaochi hadn't considered that he was still the eldest brother, he would have almost rolled his eyes.

If you don’t want to go, don’t go!

Who called you?

It makes you look great!
Zhu Gaoyu looked at this and that, thinking about taking a few walks now and buying some sesame candies when he came back.

Thinking of the hemp candy, he suddenly became happy again. He ran over happily, holding his eldest brother's hand, looking as if he couldn't wait.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaochi was the initiator of this activity, but when he was asked to walk, he had a bitter face. After walking half a mile, his face turned red and he was panting, just like an ox that had plowed half a ridge of land. He was extremely tired.

When he reached the corner of the street, he saw the sesame candy that Zhu Gaoyu had bought at some point, and he suddenly stopped:

"Xiao Si, aren't you...losing weight?"

Zhu Gaoyu looked innocent, "How can you lose weight if you don't eat enough? Don't you agree, brother?"

This statement... is not completely without reason...

Zhu Gaochi looked at the roast goose on the street and fell into deep thought...
