Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 18 How to choose
When leaving Cao Wei's house, Jiang Yu carried a fish.

That was a little compensation that Cao Wei made because he felt that he could not take advantage of Zhu Shiliu in vain.

The two of them walked back the same way, with Jiang Yu carrying the fish and following closely behind Zhu Yuanzhang, still holding the pile of gear sets and pulleys in his arms.

"Jiang Wei, what do you think of Cao Wei?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

Jiang Yu couldn't understand what his tone meant, so after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "He is very skilled!"

After a while, he added another sentence: "It's a bit shameless."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and he agreed with this point.

The speed with which Cao Wei changed his face just now was an eye-opener for both of them!

I can’t even turn the pages of the book that fast!
Looking at the gear set and pulley set held in one hand in his arms, Jiang Yu said again:
"This man is talented."

This time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't respond, but it could be seen that he was thinking about something...

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, it was already Youshi.

The sky has darkened.

Zhu Yuanzhang was going to sit in the imperial study for a while, but when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he saw a man standing beside the eunuch holding a porcelain bowl.

He looks like a 15-year-old boy with a handsome face and long and narrow eyes. He is dressed in a light purple robe and a golden belt wrapped around his waist.

This is the emperor's grandson who was the most powerful in the court in the previous three months.

Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, and Zhu Yunwen also stepped forward to greet him.

"Grandpa Emperor."

"Yunwen, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the well-behaved boy in front of him and asked.

"At noon today, my grandson came to deliver iced lotus seed soup to Grandpa Huang as usual, but he was told that Grandpa Huang was out, so my grandson had to wait here."

"The grandson of this lotus seed soup asks the servants to change a bowl every quarter of an hour. It has just been changed and it is still cold. Grandpa Huang must be too hot. Taste it quickly to relieve the heat."

While Zhu Yunwen was talking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Yu beside him.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a gratified smile, took a sip of the bowl of lotus seed soup, and immediately felt a coolness spread all over his body, making him much more comfortable.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he drank the lotus seed soup in two or three mouthfuls.

"The weather is so hot now, what important things does Grandpa Huang have to do outside?"

Zhu Yunwen looked worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's body, "The emperor is the king of a country, so you should pay attention to the dragon body."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bowl and touched his head with his big hand.

"Grandpa Huang's body is still hard, we haven't reached the point where we can't go out."

Zhu Yuanzhang's response did not explain what he did when he left the palace, so Zhu Yunqi didn't ask any more questions.

"In this case, my grandson has retreated. After seeing Grandpa Huang, my grandson can finally feel at ease."

Zhu Yunwen bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, then picked up the empty bowl and left.

When he left, he took another look at the gear set and pulley set in Jiang Yu's arms, as well as the fish in his hand...

Grandpa Huang is hiding something from him.

But this is not a big deal. There is always a reason why Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to tell him.

Everything was in his favor now, he just had to do what he had to do.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the imperial study for a while, and after dinner, he got up and returned to Qianqing Palace. He came to the imperial study just to see if anyone had handed over the book while he was away.

Zhezi didn't see it, but met Zhu Yunqi who had been waiting.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with his grandson Zhu Yunwen.

He is well-behaved, sensible, and considerate, and his reputation in court is also very good.

Today, I have been waiting at the gate of the imperial study until now, and my filial piety is commendable.

After Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to make Zhu Yunwen the new crown prince, but a sudden letter from Cao Ying made Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate.

Is it really good to make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince?

Cao Ying was his eldest grandson whom he had high hopes for!
……

On the other side, Zhu Yunwen returned to the palace all the way and saw his mother-in-law, Lu Shi, still waiting for him.

Mrs. Lu is a pretty woman, over thirty years old, and because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is in her twenties.

Dressed in gold, pearls and jade hairpins, he is as noble as Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunqi handed the empty bowl in his hand to the maid, and shouted:
"Mother."

Lu looked up and saw Zhu Yunqi coming back, a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Why did you come back so late today?"

"Grandpa Huang has not come back, and the child has been waiting."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she frowned slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wen'er, Xiaohuan, go and prepare meals for His Highness."

The maid nodded and left.

"Your Majesty has been out of the palace for a whole day? Have you seen Wen'er? Do you know what your Majesty has been doing?" Lu asked three questions in a row. It can be seen that she cares about these details.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "Grandpa Huang didn't say anything, and I didn't ask any more questions."

Lu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, don't add too many details. You just need to do your job well."

"The boy knows."

"In the past few days, if you go to Zhu Yunxie's place more often and act like a big brother, His Majesty will be happy to see you." Lu said after thinking for a while.

"it is good."

quickly,

The maid prepared the meal and brought it up. After Zhu Yunqi had finished eating, Mrs. Lu got up and left.

Zhu Yunwen looked at her back and muttered something.

"Zhu Yunxi..."

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang did not sleep well.

He has been thinking about a question.

The position of crown prince cannot be left vacant for too long, otherwise people's hearts will be shaken.

Cao Ying and Zhu Yunqi, who should I choose?
Cao Ying, no, Zhu Xiongying, is the eldest son of his most valued prince Zhu Biao, and naturally his most beloved grandson.

It is said that Zhu Biao is a son, Zhu Xiongying is a grandson, and the others are just princes and grandsons. This sentence is not false at all.

In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Zhu Xiongying as the third generation successor of the Ming Dynasty.

But because of an accident, he left his side prematurely.

This vacancy of ten years cannot be ignored. Now no one in the court remembers the former emperor's grandson.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying returned to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. Even if he wanted to retrain Zhu Xiongying to be the prince, it would definitely not be an easy task.

Now many courtiers have leaned towards Zhu Yunqi, and suddenly a grandson of the emperor who has been missing for ten years is definitely not what they want to see.

When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of resistance...

If Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to do this, he might have to chop off the heads of a few people!
Besides, Zhu Yunwen,
At this time, he can be said to have been expected by everyone, and he has been doing very well all the time, and Zhu Yuanzhang has not bothered too much.

This is why after the death of Prince Zhu Biao, a large number of courtiers turned to him.

There are only a few emperors and grandsons who are eligible to compete for the throne, and Zhu Yunxie has a temperament of neither fighting nor grabbing, so naturally all the benefits are taken by Zhu Yunxie.

but……

If Zhu Yunqi is to be appointed as the crown prince, what will the former princelings do?
Sapphire has been fighting for Daming for so many years, and she has made great achievements in the battle of Yuerhai...

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is not made of stone
He is not willing to kill those old guys anymore unless he has no choice!

It seems that no matter what the choice is, blood will be shed again.

difficult!
