I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 3 A child’s best weapon
Hearing this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils moved suddenly.

This was completely beyond his expectation.

"Zhen'er, why do you think your fourth uncle is suitable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Yunxi in his arms.

Zhu Yunxi rubbed against Zhu Yuanzhang's arms coquettishly, and was not in a hurry to explain the reason, and said naively: "Anyway, I think fourth uncle is suitable."

Zhu Yuanzhang's old breathing was heard next to his ears, but he seemed to have regained a little vitality, and his voice was not as sluggish as before: "Tell me, why?"

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head, thought for a while, and said in a childish voice:

"Grandfather, the candidates for the crown prince are nothing more than the second uncle, the fourth uncle, the second brother, and the third brother, right?"

After saying this, Zhu Yunxi could clearly feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's body stiffened slightly.

His heart was raised in an instant.

"Continue talking." Zhu Yuanzhang's old voice came.

Being held by Zhu Yuanzhang, he couldn't see the expression on Lao Zhu's face, and Zhu Yunxuan didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

Did he hit his mark?

Zhu Yunzhen's thoughts were racing and he couldn't observe carefully, so he forced himself to continue talking.

"Second uncle is not very stable in his behavior. He was punished by Grandpa Huang some time ago, and Zi'er didn't think it was appropriate. Besides, I don't think second uncle is as good as fourth uncle."

Zhu Yunxi tried his best to make his tone closer to that of a child.

It seems unreasonable to say that the second uncle is not as good as the fourth uncle, but it is actually what he should say at his age.

Sure enough, hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just experienced the pain of bereavement, showed a faint smile.

Zhu Yunxi felt that Zhu Yuanzhang hugged his body and lifted it up again, as if he had regained some strength.

"Then, what's next?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again. His voice seemed to have a hint of meaning, but also seemed to be very casual and meant nothing.

Zhu Yunxuan deliberately thought for a while, and said: "My second brother's personality is too peaceful, and now I have only founded the Ming Dynasty for more than [-] years..."

"What happened after more than twenty years?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, with a little bit of unnoticeable excitement in his voice.

Zhu Yunzhen said: "Of course there are many founding heroes! Since ancient times, those founding heroes in history books are all very powerful!"

"I'm afraid the second brother's character won't be able to suppress them, right? It will be bad if he is bullied by them..."

"Xi'er, continue." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice trembled slightly.

Zhu Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he was right.

Beside Lao Zhu, he always has a feeling that being with a king is like a tiger.

Even though he is Lao Zhu's grandson, Lao Zhu has always loved his son very much.

but.

The majesty of the Ninety-Five Supreme that inadvertently flowed out still made him nervous.

He calmed down and said childishly: "Third brother, although I can barely do it, sometimes it's too... too much..."

Having said this, Zhu Yunzhen stretched out his little hand and rubbed his head in annoyance.

"What's that word called... Look at the front but be afraid of the back..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said, "Look forward and look backward?"

"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi patted his forehead and said, "It's about looking forward and backward!"

While secretly praising his acting skills, he continued:
"Daddy has said to my brother many times that when he is asked to do something, don't be overly cautious."

"But I can't always remember this word..."

"It's not too late to remember now." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Xiao'er, go on and tell me why Fourth Uncle Ni is suitable to be the crown prince."

"Because the fourth uncle is so awesome!" Zhu Yunzhen said without thinking.

After a pause, he continued: "Grandpa Huang, you see, although my fourth uncle does not study much, he has a righteous heart."

"A few days ago, I heard that he punished a bully who bullied the people!"

"Also, Fourth Uncle will win battles too! My Great Ming's country was brought down by the Emperor's grandfather, but now the world is not clear, and there are still many hidden dangers."

"A prince like fourth uncle who can win battles is of course the best."

"Although I heard from my father that in ancient times, the establishment of a crown prince was always established by the elders but not the virtuous, but now my father has gone... The second uncle and the third uncle are not suitable..."

"Also, I've heard people say that fourth uncle is the one who resembles Grandpa Huang the most."

……

"Baby, what you said is very good."

Zhu Yunxuan felt Zhu Yuanzhang let go of him, so he stood on the ground and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly cloudy eyes, he could not see any emotion.

"Grandpa Huang..." Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's sweeping gaze, Zhu Yunzhen's whole body couldn't help but feel a little tense.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunzhen thoughtfully and asked softly: "Who taught you those words just now?"

"Grandpa Huang, no one taught me. It's just that when Daddy was sick, I chatted with him a little bit, so Xi'er would know."

Zhu Yunzhen blamed all of this on Zhu Biao. Anyway, I am already dead, so there is no proof of death.

It is impossible for Lao Zhu to go to ask Zhu Biao.

"Your father talked with you about the establishment of the crown prince?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in disbelief.

"Well, Dad told me not to tell others." Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice.

"Hey——" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed a long time, and murmured: "Boss, don't tell me...you already knew?"

Seeing that the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were slightly moist, Zhu Yunxuan quickly reached out his little hand and wiped his tears.

"Grandpa Huang, what do you think dad already knew?"

"It's nothing." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, then shifted his gaze to Zhu Yunxi,

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him all the time, Zhu Yunxuan's heart was flustered for a while.

What is Lao Zhu thinking?
Didn't I miss something somewhere?
Zhu Yunxi's heartbeat was beating faster, but he tried his best to control his expression so as not to show timidity.

"Xiao'er," Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, his eyes burning brightly, "Since your fourth uncle can be crown prince, why can't you?"

Zhu Yunxuan was stunned, not expecting Zhu Yuanzhang to ask this question.

I don't think it's my turn to be the emperor, right?

However, if you think about it carefully, it is true that they are all second sons.

Zhu Di can do it, so can he.

However, Zhu Yunyu could clearly feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not sincere.

He is testing, and as for what he is testing, I am afraid only he himself knows.

A layer of goose bumps could not help but appear on Zhu Yunxi's body.

Worthy of being the founding emperor!
Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming is really deep!
Even if you are facing your own grandson, a child who is only seven or eight years old, you have to try it out.

Why Zhu Di can do it, but I can't?
How should this question be answered?

A fine layer of sweat dripped out of Zhu Yunxi's palms involuntarily.

Once this question is answered poorly, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust may be lost directly.

It will be even harder to change everything when the time comes.

What should I do?
It's a long story, but everything is just a moment.

Zhu Yunzhen's brain was spinning rapidly. At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed his little hands.

In an instant, he was enlightened.

"Yes! I'm a child now! How can a child have so much reason?"

"A child's best weapon is of course tears!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhen didn't hesitate at all and burst into tears.
