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

Chapter 40 The love between brothers is so easy to deceive!
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, are you okay?"

Early in the morning, while Zhu Yunzhen was still sleeping, he was awakened by a burst of rapid shouting.

Opening his eyes, he saw Zhu Yunqi's expression full of concern.

"I heard that you were assassinated by an assassin last night. What happened?"

"fine!"

Zhu Yunxuan stretched his waist.

He experienced too many things last night, and he thought about a lot. It wasn't until dawn that he could fall asleep.

Although it was already three o'clock in the morning, he was sleeping soundly. Unexpectedly, he was woken up by Zhu Yunwen.

Seeing the nervous look on his face, Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but lose his temper.

Ying'er came forward with a few court ladies, and waited for him to wash his face, brush his teeth and change his clothes.

"It's fine if you're fine, it's fine if you're fine."

Zhu Yunwen said repeatedly, his expression seemed to be greatly relieved.

A warm feeling flowed through Zhu Yunxuan's heart. He could see that Zhu Yunxuan really cared about him, his brother who was a compatriot from the same mother.

"I don't know what's going on, Grandpa Huang. How old are you? How can I send you to do the murder?"

Zhu Yunwen complained.

Zhu Yunxi had already dressed and washed under the service of the maid, and said with a smile: "This is the emperor pampering me, looking for an opportunity to hone me."

Zhu Yunwen said dissatisfied: "That can't be like this. You are only seven years old. It is not a good thing to encourage others to grow."

Zhu Yunxi didn't answer any more, and didn't want to argue with him on this topic.

In front of the servants, the conversation between them may soon reach Lao Zhu's ears.

Many times, Zhu Yunxi couldn't figure out what Lao Zhu was thinking, because he hid it too deeply.

But he subconsciously felt that it was better not to let Lao Zhu know about this kind of dispute between brothers.

Fortunately, seeing that he was safe and sound, Zhu Yunxuan didn't pester him anymore, but sat beside Zhu Yunxuan and talked about another matter.

"The case of the Bu family, why didn't you go to the trial and scold Mr. Gu?"

At this point, Zhu Yunqi glared at him and said, "You promised me to see Mr. Gu, but you found another reason to study."

"Master Gu is the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture and an important minister of the imperial court. Even though you are the emperor's grandson, you should not treat him like this. It is too outrageous."

Zhu Yunwen put on the airs of his brother and reprimanded him.

Zhu Yunzhen rubbed the back of his head, with a playful smile on his face, and said: "How old am I? How can I try a case? It doesn't look like sitting in the court."

"Although Grandpa Huang said that he entrusted this case to me, he should come to investigate and judge the case, right?"

"You said this case is very complicated and may involve my great-uncle, so we should give him more time and investigate slowly."

"If I don't go to the court to try the case, Mr. Gu will have enough time to investigate the case."

"When everything is cleared up, I will go through a formality and decide the case in court. Wouldn't it be great?"

Zhu Yunqi thought about it seriously, and said: "I heard you say that, but there is some truth to it."

"I didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age. You think carefully."

"However, it's always not good to treat Mr. Gu like this. We can't just offend others."

Zhu Yunzhen thought to himself, are you so easily deceived?

After all, he doesn't look very smart.

"It's okay, I scolded him, you go and comfort him."

"I will be the bad guy, and you will be the good guy."

"He hates me, but is grateful to you, isn't it great?"

Zhu Yunxi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I don't compete for the position of the crown prince, and I don't need to win over the ministers. It's fine if I sing bad faces."

Zhu Yunwen looked at him and said nothing for a long time. His expression was very complicated, and he seemed to be quite moved.

"Fourth brother...that really wronged you...I..."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "What are you talking about, we are biological brothers."

Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily, almost moved to tears.

"It's so deceiving!" Zhu Yunxi said silently in his heart.

Compared with the cunning old Zhu, Zhu Yunwen simply has a negative IQ.

"Grandpa Huang has decreed that Mr. Huang will be my teacher."

When Zhu Yunwen said this, he was quite happy.

Before that, although he invited Huang Zicheng to come to the government to discuss matters, it was only a private invitation after all, and now he has a public name.

"Mr. Qi was also promoted to be the left servant of the Ministry of War. Grandpa Huang also asked me to ask him for advice, so that he would come to the mansion to teach me when he has time."

"Only Mr. Fang, obviously he is the most famous, but Grandpa Huang said that now is not the time to use him."

"Grandpa Huang said that he would be a professor in Hanzhong. Mr. Fang will leave Yingtian Mansion soon."

Zhu Yunwen sighed softly.

"Mr. Fang has great talent and is the leader of scholars in the world. It's a pity that he can't stay by my side."

He was quite reluctant to speak.

Zhu Yunzhen listened silently.

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru are the team left by Lao Zhu for the next successor.

Although he thought they were the three cobblers, the three of them at this time had a very high reputation in the ruling and opposition parties.

Huang Zicheng came first in the general examination, but during the palace examination, Lao Zhu asked him what year he was born. He was nervous and did not answer immediately.

Therefore, Lao Zhu lowered his palace examination result from No.1 to No.3.

He also went from No. [-] pick to No. [-] overall pick.

However, both the government and the opposition still believe that Huang Zicheng has the talent of the number one scholar.

Qi Tai is a very good capable official.

He was born as a Jinshi, and he has been an official for nine years, and he has never made a single mistake.

Because of this, he was appreciated by Lao Zhu.

He is diligent and knows everything about the people and things in his charge.

In Zhu Yunxuan's unclear memory, he vaguely remembered that in history, this person's advice to Emperor Jianwen was basically reliable.

However, Zhu Yunqi didn't listen to his advice very much.

Among the three, in terms of official positions, Fang Xiaoru still has the lowest rank.

But in terms of prestige in the government and the public, Fang Xiaoru is the highest.

He is a leader in the literary world. He has been known as "Little Han Yu" since he was a child. He is highly respected by the scholars.

In addition, Fang Xiaoru was revered as a moral model.

Even Lao Zhu admired him very much.

He even said to Zhu Biao: "This is a person with a dignified character, you should use him until you grow old."

Later, when Fang Xiaoru was implicated, Lao Zhu deliberately released him.

Dao Yan, the prime minister in black, also said that Fang Xiaoru was the best scholar in the world, which showed how high his reputation was.

The three of them each have their own places to go.

Although Fang Xiaoru is going to Hanzhong, it seems that he intends to leave it to the next emperor for recruitment as a favor.

Does Lao Zhu's arrangement mean to establish Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince?

A bad premonition gradually rose in Zhu Yunxi's heart.

After working hard for so long, it was all in vain?

Zhu Yunqi will still be the emperor, and then Zhu Di will rebel, and he will be imprisoned...

Is history so difficult to change?
His heart sank slowly and became cold.

No, you can't just give up.

Old Zhu must be made to change his mind.

Zhu Yunzhen quickly freed himself.

Then I heard Zhu Yunwen say: "I'm going to see Mr. Fang off today. Fourth brother, will you come with me too?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "I won't go. I was ordered to raid Sima Sheng's house yesterday, but I haven't returned the order to the emperor's grandfather yet."

Zhu Yunqi didn't force it.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yunxi.

"I heard from others that you suggested to Grandpa Huang that the commercial tax should be greatly increased. This matter has caused an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties."
