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

Chapter 80 The trouble is getting bigger and bigger, Lao Zhu’s attitude!

Inside, the imperial study.

It was getting late, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still reviewing the memorial.

Opening a new memorial, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

This is Qin Zhang on the speech officer of Yushitai.

"In ancient times, there was a saying about establishing the eldest son. If the sage did not say anything, it is not the right principle of heaven and earth."

"Establishing the elders is nothing more than to reduce sibling fights and avoid the disaster of contention."

"The current dynasty will get rid of the old and reform, wash away the old shortcomings of the previous dynasty, and create a new rule for all generations."

"Today there is His Royal Highness Sun Nan Wang, the Fourth Emperor, who is eight times as talented and five rich in knowledge. He is extremely intelligent and prosperous for a while. He is more powerful than the sages and sages, and is unparalleled in the world. In accordance with my opinion, I should break the rules of the formation and establish myself as the crown prince."

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said "Hey" unconsciously.

He knew very well how dedicated these civil servants were to establishing their eldest son, so why did they suddenly change their attitude?

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial aside and opened another one.

It turned out that Zhu Yunxi was invited to be the crown prince again.

Then, the third book, the fourth book...

Within one day, hundreds of officials wrote letters requesting that King Nan be crowned crown prince.

"This is really unprecedented!"

What kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was, he immediately noticed the unusualness inside.

At this moment, the little eunuch came to report, and Liang Guogong Lanyu asked to see him.

"Didn't he claim sick leave and stay behind closed doors in the mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

I heard that after Lan Yu was slapped by Zhu Yuanxi, her temperament changed drastically, she thanked guests behind closed doors, what's the matter today?
"Xuan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and the little eunuch quickly sent a message.

"Lanyu, a humble minister, comes to see your majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Soon, Lan Yu came in and directly saluted.

Although the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, the court has very strict regulations.

But all along, Lan Yu relied on his high military achievements and was very familiar with the emperor, so he would not give such a grand ceremony seriously.

On the contrary, it is very casual.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not punish him for this matter.

Lan Yu felt that it should be taken for granted, since we are close to the emperor and have a good relationship, there is no need for such a solemn salute, what a sight!
But after being slapped by Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu figured it out, she can no longer be as casual as before.

Therefore, I am so serious when I come to see Zhu Yuanzhang this time.

"It's not in the court hall, why do you have to give such a big gift! Get up quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke politely, but there was a rare happy smile on his face.

He is very satisfied with Sapphire's actions today.

On the surface, the etiquette of the emperor and ministers seems to be just a ritual thing, and it has nothing to do with it.

In fact, it reflects the true inner activities of the courtiers.

Especially veteran officials like Lan Yu who fought with him.

The contemptuous attitude and casual etiquette show that Lan Yu always feels that Jiangshan has her own share in her heart, which is why she is so presumptuous.

For the emperor, it was actually a provocation.

Old Zhu Ke never thought that there were other people's shares in the Zhu family's fortune.

No matter how great his achievements are.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Lao Zhu does not allow anyone to go beyond.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sapphire kowtowed again before standing up.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Why do you have time to enter the palace today, but you have something to play?"

Lan Yu took out a memorial from her sleeve, cupped her hands and saluted, saying: "Since the death of the crown prince, the crown prince has not been established, and the government has been unstable. I think it is appropriate for your majesty to establish a crown prince as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank when he heard this.

Zhu Yunxi is Lan Yu's nephew. Is he here for this matter?
That sapphire's courage is a little too big.

Is this something that a minister of his should say?

Lao Zhu's anger increased little by little.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Fourth Emperor's grandson, His Highness Nan Wang, is talented, intelligent, loyal and virtuous. Although he is not the eldest grandson, he has the image of a monarch."

"When a new dynasty is established, it is advisable to break away from the old and eliminate the new, and not be trapped by the old rules of the past."

"I respectfully invite your majesty to appoint His Royal Highness Nanwang as the grandson of the emperor."

Lan Yu said, holding the memorial high and kneeling down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang doubted his ears a little bit, did he hear correctly?

The crown prince that Lan Yu asked to be appointed was not Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi, but Nan Wang Zhu Yunxi?
He took the memorial and read it, a smile gradually appeared on his face, but soon the news disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of happiness, anger, sorrow or joy.

At this time, there was a burst of noise outside.

Although it was extremely far away, it could still be vaguely heard.

There seemed to be a large crowd gathering outside the palace.

"What happened outside?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch in charge of the palace ran in in a panic, kneeling and said: "There are tens of thousands of people in the city, gathered in front of the palace gate, and collectively wrote a letter to the court."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he established a system in which ordinary people can directly write to the emperor.

All the people of Ming Dynasty, if they have any grievances, they can directly ring the Dengwen Drum outside the palace to appeal to the imperial court, and the emperor will accept it in person. Officials are not allowed to stop them, otherwise they will be severely punished.

However, in fact, very few people would go to beat Dengwen drum.

Not to mention tens of thousands of people gathered outside the palace gate like today.

"what's up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch in charge replied tremblingly: "The common people request Your Majesty to appoint His Highness the Fourth Emperor, Sun Nan Wang, as the crown prince!"

When he said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On weekdays, even the most important ministers of the imperial court would not dare to say a word about the establishment of a reserve.

At present, tens of thousands of people directly write to the court, which has never happened before!
From ancient times to the present, unheard of.

This is almost the same as forcing the palace, will His Majesty be furious?

"Oh, I understand." Zhu Yuanzhang responded lightly, without comment.

The eunuch in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of students from the Imperial College have also jointly signed a public letter, requesting His Majesty to make King Nan the grandson of the emperor."

"Understood, is there any more?" Zhu Yuanzhang's language and expression were still the same as usual, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

"I heard that dozens of generals from the Gyeonggi camp also submitted a letter requesting the appointment of King Nan as the crown prince. The memorial has been sent to the General Affairs Department."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed and he glanced at the eunuch in charge who was kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone manages their own affairs well. Isn't training and fighting enough for them to toss? Do you want to toss about the court?"

This time, Lao Zhu's voice seemed to contain a bit of anger.

The eunuch in charge knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Go down." Old Zhu waved his hand.

The eunuch in charge immediately retreated as if he had been granted an amnesty.

Sapphire stayed by the side all the time, and also begged to leave.

He was persuaded by Huang Zicheng before he came to write a letter requesting Zhu Yunxu to be crown prince.

But at the moment when she heard that this incident had created such a big momentum, no matter how stupid Sapphire was, she could see that something was wrong.

No matter how you look at it, it smells like forced uterus.

Lan Yu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Could it be that he fell into the trap of that old fox Huang Zicheng?
This group of civil servants really didn't have a good thing.

But he had just submitted a letter to request, but now it is difficult to take it back, so he can only leave quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't keep him either, and asked him to leave with a straight face.

As Lan Yu's figure faded away, he turned around and looked around, seeing that the maids and eunuchs who were waiting were not around, Zhu Yuanzhang's originally serious and tense face slowly showed a smile.

He suddenly laughed happily.
