Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

East Palace. ♦✎

study.

Zhu Biao put down the book, looked up with a tired look on his face, rubbed his brows, and turned around with a smile: "Are you all ready?"

Lan Yu had been waiting for a long time. Hearing the sound, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand and was about to get up.

Zhu Biao raised his hand and pressed it.

Lan Yu is now more and more aware of rules and propriety, which is really a bit uncomfortable.

Lan Yu nodded, sat back, and replied with a smile: "Everything is ready. We will leave tomorrow morning. I am here to say goodbye to the prince. Besides..."

Seeing Lan Yu's hesitation, Zhu Biao said angrily and amusedly: "This is Gu He's uncle. Your change has been very good, but don't completely deny some of the advantages you had in the past. You are Gu's wife and uncle."

Lan Yu no longer hesitated, "In recent years, I have done a lot of illegal things. I have already told my family..."

Zhu Biao listened as usual.

He didn't know the whole story of what Lan Yu did, but he also heard about it.

"I will take care of my family. I am a little worried about the Chang family. My brother-in-law passed away due to illness. There are many people in the Chang family who can and want to make the decisions..."

Zhu Biao gradually understood Lan Yu's purpose.

It is not convenient for the Crown Princess to take direct charge of the Chang family now.

The Chang family is very complicated now.

Lan Yu said that there are many people in the Chang family who can and want to make the decision.

In fact, it is a euphemism to say that the Chang family does not have a real backbone. In the matter of self-examination and self-correction, some people may be reluctant to swallow the benefits and hold them back.

…

"I am worried that some people think they are the prince's relatives, or are using the guise of the prince's concubine to defy Zhu Silang..."

Is Zhu Silang easy to get along with?

Because of Feng Sheng and Zhu Silang, they forced the prince to say: If I give it to you, I am a fool, if I don't give it to you, I am not your kind of hurtful words.

Even so, Zhu Silang did not agree with the prince's treatment of Feng Sheng.

It's just that he has no power in his hands, and his arms can't twist his thighs.

Once the Chang family goes against their will, if Zhu Silang wants to handle the matter well, he will probably attack the Chang family first.

It is bound to discredit the prince again.

For the sake of his own reputation, does the prince want to protect the Chang family?

Will there be another conflict with Zhu Silang then?

Conflicts similar to those caused by Feng Sheng can still be avoided.

Similar to: If it is given to you, it is yours. If it is not given to you, it is not yours. Say as little as possible.

He was worried that saying this too much would arouse Zhu Silang's ambition.

Nowadays, he increasingly does not want Zhu Silang to stand on the opposite side of the prince.

"If possible, the Crown Prince will ask the Crown Princess to go back to the Chang family..."

"Okay, tomorrow I will let the princess go home to visit her relatives." Zhu Biao already fully understood.

call!

Lan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Before the princess got married, she was in charge of the Chang family.

When the Crown Princess came home and urged the Chang family to self-examine and correct themselves, he felt relieved.

"This time, you should perform well." Zhu Biao changed the subject and said with a smile: "Your progress is seen by my father."

"You are the uncle-in-law of Gu Gu and the uncle-grandfather of Xiongying. You have made many meritorious deeds in the past. Why haven't you been knighted yet?"

…

Lan Yu listened silently.

In fact, he had already figured it out.

He is the prince's wife's uncle and his great-grandson's wife's uncle and grandfather.

The emperor has been strengthening the prince's strength. His past achievements are not small. Logically speaking, he should have been knighted long ago. ♦✎

After all, he asked for it.

Don't know how to measure, don't know how to advance or retreat.

The emperor pressed him, that is, beating him, trying to make him realize his own problems.

If it weren't for Zhu Silang, he might not be aware of these problems now.

…

When Zhu Biao saw Lan Yu nodding seriously, he put away his lecture at the right time, "Father told Gu before that it was time to give you a title. As long as you can win a big victory this time, the issue of your title will be inseparable."

Lan Yu nodded steadily, stood up and said with a smile: "Prince, I understand, I will never disappoint Your Majesty and the Crown Prince this time."

Zhu Biao looked at the sky outside.

It's almost noon.

He stood up and walked out, smiling and saying: "I'm going to see Yun Wen. Let's have a casual meal together, and I'll do it for you."

Lan Yu frowned slightly, then smiled and shook her head, "I won't disturb the prince anymore. My family is still waiting for me, so I have to warn my family..."

As he spoke, he noticed Lu Ben from the corner of his eye and immediately asked to leave: "I'm taking my leave."

Zhu Biao nodded.

When meeting Lu Ben head-on, Lan Yu smiled and clasped her fists: "Congratulations, Mr. Lu."

‘Is this still sapphire? ’

Lu Ben was slightly surprised.

He and Lan Yu used to just nod and say hello when they met.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, because of his fierce attack on Zhu Silang.

The two had a close relationship.

Later, Lan Yu was almost killed by Zhu Silang, and the two began to become estranged. When the daughter became pregnant with the prince's child, the relationship between the two became even more estranged.

Now, the daughter gave birth to a son for the prince.

Lan Yu could actually congratulate him calmly?

The reckless man who used to compete with his voice and his fists now has a problem with his chest?

Lu Ben hurriedly collected his thoughts and clasped his fists to thank: "On behalf of Yunwen, I would like to thank his uncle and grandpa. In the future, I also hope that General Lan can teach Yunwen how to fight and let him share his worries for his grandson."

Lan Yu nodded with a smile and left quickly.

…

Lu Ben withdrew his gaze and came to Zhu Biao. After saluting, he went straight to the point: "Prince, I heard that Zhu Silang supervised the self-examination and self-correction of all officials. I assure you that I will personally keep an eye on my family and take care of myself." Check and correct yourself..."

Zhu Biao glanced at Lu Ben in slight surprise, then smiled and said: "I'm going to see Yun Wen, and I'll have dinner with my concubine by the way. Let's talk while walking..."

Lu Ben peeped secretly and saw Zhu Biao with a friendly smile on his face.

The smile on his lips flashed, ‘You’re right! ’

When leaving the house.

he is very angry.

He also wanted to preserve the Lu family's wealth, but also wanted to remind the prince to be wary of Zhu Silang, and use this matter to win over officials.

Let him oversee this matter.

He will choose some civil and military officials with low official positions but in key positions to help cover up and prevent these people from suffering too much loss.

While showing favor, seize the handle of these people.

…

The change in Lan Yu gave him a strong impact.

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind: Is today the same as in the past?

In the past, he would actively show his loyalty to the prince.

But now, he has a grandson.

Of course you have to act loyal, but you can't do it like before, at the cost of angering the prince to show your loyalty.

As a grandfather, he should be a plus point for the prince to love his grandson.

rather than a deduction.

I will never do the behavior that angered the prince again.

The prince hated him. When he was with his daughter and grandson, he would inevitably feel resentful when he thought of him. ♦☜

This is very detrimental to my daughter and grandson.

In the past, he centered on the prince.

From now on, it should be centered on the grandson.

The central point has changed, and the way things are done should also change.

…

After a simple lunch.

Zhu Biao stood up, and Lu Ben was about to stand up.

Zhu Biao pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Father and daughter, you continue to sit, keep a close eye on the home, cooperate with the fourth child, complete the self-examination and self-correction, and return the compensation issues before returning to Peking."

"I obey the decree!"

…

Lu watched Zhu Biao leave, turned around, and looked at Lu Ben in surprise.

I feel that the atmosphere of today's meal was too good.

The prince, it has been a long time since he looked so kind to his father today.

Lu Ben saw Lu's face full of confusion and smiled, "Don't be curious, I have figured it out for you as a father..."

…

"In short, not only do you have to be a father, you also have to change. From now on, the focus of our father and daughter is Yun Wen. You must please the prince and be loyal to him as a father. The prerequisite is to give extra points to Yun Wen so that the prince can be better. I love Yunwen."

Even if his grandson cannot be the crown prince.

As long as the prince likes it.

In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, Yun Wen will also receive countless benefits.

Bigger fiefdom, bigger power, better preferential treatment!

"Look at Zhu Silang now! He is loved by the emperor, his status is so high, he is given a gold medal by the emperor, and he is an elite soldier in hundreds of battles..."

Zhu Xiongying is only four years old now, so it is not impossible that something might happen to him if he dies young.

At that time, Yunwen was the eldest son of the concubine.

If I were extremely fond of the prince again...

new

Snapped!

Lu Ben suddenly slapped himself in the face.

…

On this day, Lu Ben didn't go home until evening.

Lu Zhao followed him all the way to the study.

"Father, how about it? Can our family's wealth be saved?"

Lu Ben sat down calmly, glanced up at Lu Zhao, and ordered: "Starting from tomorrow, I will self-examine and correct myself, and I will keep an eye on myself for my father..."

"Why!"

Lu Zhao jumped up excitedly, "This afternoon, I asked about it, and every family in the government felt that Zhu Silang was alone and had no trustworthy people. Everyone was ready to report part of it and hide part of it!"

Lu Ben was slightly stunned.

Zhu Silang has no foundation, which is indeed an opportunity for everyone.

The people sent by the emperor to Zhu Silang were not junior officials at the middle or lower levels of the court.

These people really dare to investigate the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

…

Xu Mansion.

Xu Miaoyun sent a group of ladies and ladies out of the mansion.

"Girl Miaoyun, please go back quickly."

"Yes, go back quickly."

…

The women smiled kindly and urged Xu Miaoyun to go back quickly.

Xu Miaoyun dealt with it with pleasantries.

A group of women walked away.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"This Xu Miaoyun can't find any fault with the receptionist. His speech is impeccable, and he doesn't give everyone a single accurate word."

"I came here licking my face today and gained nothing at all."

"From now on, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to smile with this girl when we see her."

"No, Mrs. Xiucai, she will soon be the wife of a scholar. If she becomes the wife of a Jinshi scholar or the first scholar, and her Zhu Silang is such a success for the old Zhu family, Your Majesty will definitely fall in love with this young couple more and more."

…

After a group of ladies and ladies walked away in whispers.

The smile on Xu Miaoyun's face disappeared, her face looked tired, and she turned around.

Xu Miaoyin held Xu Miaoyun's arm and said with a smile: "Sister, it's really funny to see them fawning over you today. Brother-in-law is so awesome. It's only been more than a year. Those who used to laugh at you are now... Under various pretexts, they come to your door to flatter you..."

It’s so refreshing!

Xu Miaoyun smiled and shook her head.

She didn't care about that.

It's impossible to ignore these people.

After all, Dad still wants to gain a foothold in the government.

It's too tiring to talk to each other, to engage in intrigues and deceptions.

"If possible, your brother-in-law and I would rather stay in Tuqiao Village."

It’s okay not to want this kind of honor.

Life is not comfortable at all.

…

There was a lot of commotion outside.

But none of this has anything to do with Zhu Di.

The night is very late.

Rows of dormitories were lit with lights.

Some people scratched their heads.

Some people frowned and thought hard.

Some people write hard and fast.

In House No. A35.

call!

Zhu Di paused his writing, took a long breath, looked at the sky outside, and began to pack the papers.

This time, there were four days in total, which was plenty of time.

After neatly placing the examination papers in the corner, he unfolded the thin quilt provided by the court and blew out the lamps and candles.

The cabin instantly fell into darkness.

…

Four days later in the afternoon.

Outside the Gongyuan.

There was a roar of people.

"Sister, brother-in-law is out, I see brother-in-law!" Xu Huizu stood on the shaft of the car and looked out just like last time. When he spotted Zhu Di in the crowd, he shouted and waved: "Brother-in-law, this way! This way!"

Zhu Di heard shouts in the crowded and noisy crowd and looked around.

He walked over quickly with a smile.

Mao Laoliu took the lead and asked, "Master, how did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay." Zhu Di replied casually and walked towards Xu Miaoyun.

Mao Laoliu smiled and murmured, "It must be modest to be okay, at least it should be in the top ten, right?"

Xu Miaoyun handed the two little guys to Zhu Di and asked, "Where is Brother Xia?"

"I'll check the answers with some classmates later..." Zhu Di said, raising his head in amusement, "Why don't you ask me, how did you do in the exam?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

People in the alley envied the wives of scholars, the wives of successful candidates, the wives of Jinshi, and the wives of champions.

She didn't care about that.

Whisper: "During your exam, something happened, and Father has found something for you..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but frown slightly and looked apologetically, "You must not be at peace these days, right?"

After getting married, what he wanted to change most was Miao Yun's fate.

But troubles come one after another.

"From now on, don't pay attention to these things."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, she was becoming more and more childish as she was pampered by Shiro, "I'm fine, I can handle these things, let's go to the palace quickly. My father sent someone to explain that you should enter the palace immediately after you come out of Gongyuan. …”

Zhu Di nodded.

Explain a few words to Xu Huizu and Mao Laoliu.

Driving a carriage, a family of four entered the palace.

…

Hongwumen.

Zhu Di's carriage drove in.

Several officers on duty gathered together to watch the discussion.

"A few days ago, King Yan was blocked from the palace gate. Only a few days ago, he was able to enter the palace again."

"Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Dynasty, committed suicide, so the ban was naturally lifted."

"I wonder who will be unlucky this time."

…

Six official offices.

The official room of the left prime minister.

Hu Weiyong watched the carriage slowly pass by, closed the window and turned around, "Teacher, it's about to begin."

Li Shanchang nodded and glanced at Hu Weiyong: "Are you ready?"

During this time, many people were discussing that Zhu Silang had no confidants, and even the statisticians had to be people sent by the imperial court.

Nervous and apprehensive from the beginning.

Many people gradually became optimistic.

Even with a hint of contempt.

He was afraid of this student, and he was reluctant to part with those things outside of him, and he also felt lucky.

Hu Weiyong obviously understood Li Shanchang's intention and said with a smile: "Teacher, I am different from those idiots. Since I want to clear my name, I will not be secretive and take chances."

Li Shanchang kept observing Hu Weiyong's expression, and after confirming it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Hu Weiyong had any luck this time, he would not cooperate with Hu Weiyong.

…

Under the attention of hundreds of officials.

The carriage stopped in the broad space in front of the steps of the imperial study.

"How was the test? Can you guarantee a three-out-of-ten chance?" Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun held the two little guys in their arms. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask as soon as they got out of the carriage.

Ma Xiuying glared angrily.

Zhu Di jumped off the carriage, smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, I just wrote on the first fold, in the birthplace column, that my father is..."

puff!

Ma Xiuying was instantly amused, glared at Zhu Di angrily, and took little Qihua from Zhu Di's arms.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "Damn! Did you really write like that? Your answer sheet is to be hung in the ancestral temple for future generations of our Zhu family to see!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his feet to take off his shoes, "I'll beat you to death, you bastard! Can't you set a good example for future generations of our family!"

Ma Xiuying glared to stop Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then he said to Xu Miaoyun: "Miaoyun, let's go."

Let these two living treasures, father and son, have a good fight!

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help laughing and followed Ma Xiuying away.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around with a dark face.

The father and son walked along the steps to the imperial study.

On the way, Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed: "Just now, you were angry in your heart, and you deliberately made us angry, right?"

"If Miaoyun is afraid of me again, worries about me again, and deals with some sycophants, I will definitely do this again in spring!" Zhu Di said calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched.

Finally understood the reason.

The feeling is that I feel sorry for the girl Miaoyun.

The black face said: "You know everything, right? Many people are staring at you now! If you have any requests, you can make them."
