My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Chapter 63: A Battle of Wits in Yingtian Prefecture – Whoever Wins Becomes Emperor

Fortunately, Chen Mo reacted quickly and turned off the video.

But the entire courtyard remained deathly silent.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji knelt on the ground, their faces full of embarrassment.

After all, they had just expressed their close relationship as uncle and nephew, saying they would never rebel!

The next second, this sound came from the video on the phone.

Although it wasn't theirs, it was clearly their dad's!

By releasing this video at this time, isn't it clearly telling Zhu Di that the two of them would never get along?

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were embarrassed, but Zhu Di was even more embarrassed.

The reason is simple—it's because Zhu Biao was just standing there.

Looking into his brother's "kind" eyes, he felt as if he had returned to the time when his brother used to lecture him.

Although every time Lao Zhu reprimanded them, Zhu Biao would step in to protect them.

But that doesn't mean Zhu Biao won't teach them a lesson!

Sometimes, when things really went too far, Zhu Biao would punish them even more severely than Old Zhu.

Because when Old Zhu was being reprimanded, there were people who tried to stop him, but Zhu Biao wasn't.

Old Zhu would even worry about tiring Zhu Biao, so he would come up and help out with a father-son doubles match.

All three of them were incredibly embarrassed, but no one offered them a way out.

Finally, Zhu Biao spoke.

"Fourth brother..."

Zhu Biao called out softly, his voice still gentle, but it was like a needle gently pricking Zhu Di's heart.

"It's getting late."

"Yes! We really should go back!"

Zhu Di quickly stepped down from the way Zhu Biao had offered.

"Um... Brother, Mr. Chen, we'll come back later!"

Zhu Di laughed at the two of them, and then kicked Zhu Gaoxu hard.

Seeing that his father only kicked him, Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Zhu Zhanji and said aggrievedly.

"Dad, why didn't you kick that kid!"

"Shut up! I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Zhu Di said fiercely, and then glared at Zhu Gaosui.

Then, he looked at Chen Mo and pointed to the things on the ground.

"Shopkeeper Chen, please leave these things to my father!"

Zhu Di remained silent for a moment.

"Even though he's a real jerk, all he ever thinks about is beating me, he's still my dad!"

Chen Mo nodded.

Zhu Di cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, and then left with his entourage.

Only Zhu Biao and Chen Mo remained in the entire hotel.

Chen Mo looked at Zhu Biao and handed him a cell phone box.

"Brother Biao, come on! Let's add each other as friends. I'll send another one to Auntie later, so she won't get bored in the hospital."

Chen Mo helped Zhu Biao set up WeChat and taught him how to type and send messages.

Zhu Biao was naturally intelligent and quick to learn; it didn't take long for him to figure out how to send emoticons.

Seeing this, Chen Mo simply created a group chat and added Li Chengqian to it as well.

Please address the Crown Prince as Your Majesty: What is this?

Chen Mo: This is a group chat, so several people can chat together.

Chen Mo: @Your Majesty, please address me as Crown Prince and change my name.

Zhu Biao: Modern things are so convenient!

Li Chengqian: That's a package!

Li Chengqian: I can't live without my phone anymore!

Li Chengqian: This thing is really useful. This little thing can not only read all kinds of books, but also see things that are thousands of miles away...

Chen Mo: Is it convenient for Auntie to stay there?

Li Chengqian: My aunt has a rosy complexion and is very kind and approachable. She was just talking to me about things in the palace and she cares about me a lot.

Li Chengqian: I was just showing my aunt the phone, and she was looking at it too.

Chen Mo: Of course, she and your mother are both known as virtuous empresses.

Zhu Biao: The Empress Dowager is indeed very good!

Chen Mo: It's more than good! Let me tell you, Empress Ma is like the scabbard of your father, Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chen Mo: If it weren't for her being there to pull him back, persuade him, and occasionally cool down Old Zhu's temper.

Chen Mo: With your dad's attitude of always wanting to "peel off the skin and stuff the straw", the ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty would probably have to experience what it means to "go to work like going to a funeral" decades in advance, living in a horror movie every day!

Li Chengqian: Skinned alive and stuffed with straw? ???

Li Chengqian: So ruthless?

Chen Mo: That's more than just ruthless!

Chen Mo sent an emoji.

The picture shows Zhu Yuanzhang, with his long face, looking at a computer, accompanied by a line of text.

"How dare you talk to us like that? Are your nine generations of relatives wholesale?"

Zhu Biao: ? ? ?

Li Chengqian: ? ? ?

Empress Ma, who was watching from the side: ? ? ?

Zhu Biao looked at the emojis Chen Mo sent, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Li Chengqian looked at Chen Mo's emoji and pondered for a moment.

Li Chengqian: emoji (Please address Your Majesty as Crown Prince!)

Li Chengqian: emoji (A showdown at Xuanwu Gate, whoever wins becomes the Crown Prince! Through wind and rain, I love you, brother, see you at Xuanwu Gate!)

Zhu Biao: ? ? ?

Empress Ma: ? ? ?

What the hell is this?

They burst into laughter!

Chen Mo chuckled as he looked at the emoji Li Chengqian sent.

The next second, Zhu Di smiled and pointed at the screen, accompanied by an emoji with a line of text.

"A duel at Yingtian Prefecture, whoever wins becomes emperor!"

"Rain or shine, I love you, my dear nephew. See you in Yingtian Prefecture!"

"Wait for you!"

Li Chengqian: ? ? ?

Zhu Biao: ? ? ?

Empress Ma: ? ? ?

……

Just as Chen Mo was chatting with the group, Zhu Di, who had returned to the Yongle Dynasty with a bunch of walkie-talkies, was sitting on the dragon throne deep in thought.

I never expected that my dad and older brother would actually be here!

It is an indisputable fact that he usurped Yunwen's position.

He couldn't change the established facts, but his older brother's existence was like a thorn in his side.

He had to do something, or rather, needed to do something to ease the tension between him and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then his deep voice echoed in the hall.

"Someone come here."

"Summon... Prince Zhu Yunwen of Wu, to come to the palace to see me immediately."

Zhu Yunwen was the third son of Zhu Biao and the younger brother of Zhu Yunwen.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he deposed his brother and reduced him to a commoner on the grounds that he was unable to assist his brother.

Not long after, Zhu Yunwen walked in, trembling.

Although he didn't know why Zhu Di wanted to see him, it was definitely not a good thing for him to be contacted for no reason.

Maybe they're afraid I have ulterior motives and want to take action against me.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel afraid.

Don't even mention that he wouldn't dare to take action; even Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen, disappeared without a trace.

What is a mere Prince Zhu Yunwen of Wu?

Zhu Yunwen was frantically thinking, but he still obediently bowed to Zhu Di.

"Your subject Zhu Yunwen greets Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di looked at the young face before him that was remarkably similar to his elder brother Zhu Biao, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

If I hadn't met my elder brother at the hotel, I probably wouldn't have even thought of seeing Zhu Yunwen.

He'll probably be imprisoned until he dies...

The candlelight flickered inside the hall, and Zhu Di remained silent.

Zhu Yunwen's heart sank, and his whole body began to tremble.

So, is my uncle going to make a move against me?

Father, can I finally go down to see you?

Just as Zhu Yunwen was feeling sorrowful, Zhu Di's voice suddenly rang out.

"Yun-yi... how have you been lately?"

How have you been lately? Don't you know how he's been doing?

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's up to no good!
