Chapter 24: Peace in the Court
Because it was a cold winter, the windows were already tightly closed and there was no need to close them.

This matter must not be spread out, otherwise the King of Han and the King of Zhao will become restless again.

"Tell me, who is this Zhuang Mu? What happened?"

Zhu Gaochi knew very well that consolidating his position as crown prince was, on the one hand, a demonstration of his own abilities.

During all these years of being regent, there have not been any major mistakes.

Secondly, it is Zhu Zhanji’s position as the crown prince.

The main reason why the old man didn't like him was because of his poor health.

Whether he was the King of Yan or the Emperor, he could die of illness at any time.

But as long as Zhu Zhanji was there, no matter how bad her health was, at least she had Zhu Zhanji to back her up.

Only then will Zhu Di feel relieved.

Zhu Zhanji sat in front of Zhu Gaochi, thinking as he spoke.

"He's the owner of a restaurant in a deep alley on Jinchuan Street."

"That's where Grandpa stayed the night yesterday."

Zhu Gaochi pouted.

"Why would the old man go there for no reason?"

When he was young, Zhu Di liked to drink, but he was not a heavy drinker.

When I get older, I only drink a few glasses of wine occasionally at banquets, but not more.

Suddenly going to a restaurant to spend the night is definitely not just about drinking.

Zhu Zhanji explained: "I heard from the old monk and the Jinyiwei that Zhuang Mu has the ability to create dreams through wine."

"After drinking the drink he made, you can see the person you want to see."

Zhu Gaochi stood up slowly, frowned, and then relaxed his brows.

Walking back and forth, thinking about the connection between them.

"That's it."

The Crown Princess and Zhu Zhanji beside him looked at Zhu Gaochi, both somewhat confused.

Seeing that he was pretending to be serious, the Crown Princess became a little anxious.

"Hey, tell me what you're thinking about. The old man is going to destroy your son, and you're still walking here."

Zhu Zhanji also looked solemn. After all, he didn't want to be deposed as the crown prince.

Being an emperor was the idea instilled in Zhu Di since he was a child. He didn't want to be deposed halfway and leave in despair.

Looking at the anxious looks of the mother and daughter, Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"Zhanji, you don't have to take this matter too seriously."

"I guess the old man said this because he was afraid that you don't have strong self-control."

"Although I don't know who this Zhuang Mu is, but from what you said."

"The old monk and the old man both favor him, which means he has real skills."

"If Zhuang Mu can really create a dream through wine and relieve the old man's guilt during the Jingnan period, it can explain why he stayed there overnight."

Although it is hard to believe, there really are such talented people in this world.

However, Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di both had their own plans in mind.

It is unlikely to deceive them, which means this is most likely a real skill.

Controlling dreams is no different from magic.

Even if he could really deceive Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, he would be considered a god.

Zhu Zhanji stood up, still a little confused.

"But Dad, what does this have to do with me? Grandpa Huang can't say this for no reason, right?"

The Crown Princess echoed, "Yes."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji in front of him and said lightly.

"You little brat, don't you understand what your grandfather means?"

Zhu Zhanji now has two heads.

"Wine is just a medium, dreaming is the key."

"Sweet dream, sweet dream. If Zhuang Mu could create a dream that you like, allowing you to be carefree and enjoy the admiration of thousands of people, what would you do then?"

"You are the crown prince, shouldering the burden of the future of the country, and you are young and have poor self-control."

"We are still alive, so you don't dare to be too presumptuous." "If we die, are you sure you won't be immersed in a beautiful dream?"

Dreams are the most magical things they can access.

The most important point is that they don’t have to pay any price for what they do in their dreams.

Dreaming of becoming an emperor, what the hell is the country and the people, what a prosperous country.

None of this is important because it’s just a dream. When you wake up, all of this will disappear.

Do anything without paying even the slightest price.

Just enjoy it.

"Dad, you mean that grandpa is afraid that I will be immersed in the dream."

"That's why you say this, to warn me?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"But as the crown prince, what else can I be obsessed with?"

"Besides, it's not like I haven't had dreams before. The things in the dreams are just like that."

Zhu Zhanji said confidently.

His status can be said to be at the top of the pyramid, and in the future he will be above everyone else.

I have everything I want, so how could I possibly be immersed in that illusory dream?

Besides, he has had dreams when he sleeps more or less since he was a child.

Erotic dreams, emperor dreams, nightmares, etc., in his opinion.

It's all so fake, it's impossible to get addicted to it.

Looking at the very confident Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly in his heart.

It seems that the old man's warnings and concerns were not wrong.

There is no such absolute thing in this world.

Zhu Zhanji was still young and had not experienced the complicated affairs of the court, nor had he experienced the intrigues among the court officials.

Interpersonal relationships are complicated, and I have not experienced too much trouble.

Zhu Zhanji had two umbrellas, one for Zhu Di and the other for him as the crown prince.

"Anyway, just listen to your grandfather."

"Don't touch it. It's best not to even have any contact with this Zhuang Mu."

As long as you don’t come into contact with Zhuang Mu, you won’t be affected by the dream of wine.

Naturally, he would not be immersed in it, nor would he make Zhu Di worry.

Zhu Zhanji nodded helplessly.

"Oh, by the way, didn't your grandfather ask me to move all the memorials I reviewed to him?"

"I almost forgot about this. Has the person who brought the memorial arrived?"

……

The study room.

Zhu Di was sitting in front of the stove, with Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi next to him.

The closer the officials were to Zhu Di, the more they were valued and the closer they were to him.

"Nothing happened in the court these two days, right?"

Xia Yuanji, who was only half a step away from Zhu Di, spoke.

"With the crown prince here, the court is at peace and nothing serious has happened."

"And the prince..."

Before Jin Zhong could finish speaking, Zhu Di raised his hand to interrupt him.

He looked at Xia Yuanji and smiled faintly.

"You have always been honest and outspoken, how come you have learned to flatter?"

"I know what the prince has done, so you don't have to brag about him to me."

Although Zhu Gaochi did a good job and deserves praise.

But in Zhu Di's mind, this is what a prince should do.

He is not worthy of being praised or boasted about. If he can't even do this, what's the point of being a prince?
Jian Yi, who was sitting on his left, saw this and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."
