Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 43 Intentional leakage
  Zhu Yunwen snitched and let Mrs. Lu know that Zhu Yunwen had skipped class.

After an investigation, it was found that Zhu Yunxu was still skipping class with Zhu Xuan, and it was further found that Zhu Yunxu actually went to see Zhu Yunxu. This made Mrs. Lu so angry that she directly sent people to capture Zhu Yunxu.

Before Zhu Yunxuan had enough fun, he was taken away by the people from the East Palace. Before leaving, he did not forget to hold the bag of salt in his arms.

In the room, silence soon returned.

"Brother, why are you doing this? If Zhu Yunzhen brings our method back, won't we be making wedding clothes for Zhu Yunshen?"

Zhu Yunxi asked, having difficulty understanding the whole thing.

He had just seen how good the quality of the salt was and how convenient it was to produce.

If it were handed over to Grandpa Huang, it would be a great achievement. Now that the production method is leaked, if Zhu Yunwen takes it to Zhu Yuanzhang first, they will give away the credit.

"No, let's go into the palace and see Grandpa Huang!" The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Second brother, please don't worry, Grandpa Huang already knows our salt."

Zhu Xuan explained: "If the eldest brother shows our salt to Grandpa Huang, and even pretends that they made it himself, what will Grandpa Huang think of eldest brother?"

Zhu Yunxi: "..."

He was stunned for a while before he realized what his younger brother was thinking.

Sure enough, he wanted to trick Zhu Yunwen. If Zhu Yunwen dared to take the salt to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would be asking for trouble, and he would not be taken seriously. He didn't expect that his younger brother's idea was so bad.

A four-year-old child is quite evil-minded.

"But this little brother is doing something wrong!"

Zhu Yunxi thought deeply and said, "Zhu Yunxi must know that it was my younger brother who specially brought Zhu Yunxi to my place. He may not be fooled."

"If we don't get fooled, we won't lose anything."

Zhu Xuan did this just casually to disgust Zhu Yunwen and not hope to succeed.

It would be best if it succeeds. If not, salt is still the key point. He added: "I guess Zhu Yunzhen and the others will think about it for a few days when they see the salt Zhu Yunzhen brought back. We will wait for him for a few days to see if they dare." Don’t dare to take credit.”

"It seems right!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then asked: "How do you know so much, little brother?"

Zhu Xuan explained: "Grandpa Huang often taught me some very special principles. In addition, I have read "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which also contains many strategies. Grandpa Huang asked me to read it thoroughly, and I understood it from it."

He had already thought of an explanation.

This reason can probably convince Zhu Yunxi.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi could see that the emperor wanted to train Zhu Xuan as his successor, and it was normal for him to teach him some special things.

"Little brother is really amazing."

Zhu Yunxi admired him.

Zhu Xuan's ability to understand is really amazing to him. He is so evil at just four years old. If he grows up a few years, he will be even more powerful.

"I just want to help my second brother!"

Zhu Xuan said sincerely: "As long as the second brother is good, I don't care about anything."

"You kid!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed and put aside all his thoughts for the time being.

"Second brother, can you take me outside to play?"

Zhu Xuan raised his head again, his big eyes full of expectation.

After he finished tricking Zhu Yunwen, he still wanted to show off the playful nature of a child so that he could continue to maintain his original personality.

"No problem, let's go out."

Zhu Yunxi called several servants from his family to protect him.

Zhu Xuan also asked Hou Xian to follow, and several Jinyi guards continued to follow, happily walking towards the Qinhuai River.

As soon as Zhu Yunzhen was brought back, he saw Mrs. Lu with a gloomy face.

"Zhu Yunxi, do you dare to skip class and go to see Zhu Yunxi?" "I must have beaten you, not too much!"

Madam Lu looked angry, picked up a cane and raised it, as if to knock it down.

Zhu Yunxuan was shocked. It wasn't as promised. It didn't matter if he skipped class. At most, he would be punished for copying. Why did his mother-in-law want to hit him? He jumped up and backed away.

"How dare you hide!" Madam Lu was furious, "Stop!"

Zhu Yunxuan explained casually: "Concubine, I know I was wrong. I...actually I wanted to bring some good things back to my concubine, so I skipped school. Concubine, please don't hit me."

He thought of the salt and quickly lifted the bag.

"what is this?"

Lu raised the cane and paused for a moment to ask.

Seeing that it really attracted Mrs. Lu's attention, Zhu Yunxuan said again: "This is salt, a very good salt. My little brother said it is delicious for cooking, so I wanted to bring some back for my mother and concubine to try."

After finishing speaking, he was still a little worried.

I'm afraid I'll get beaten again.

"Salt?"

Mrs. Lu took the cloth bag, opened it and looked at it.

Recently, people in the DPRK have been particularly sensitive to salt, because Zhu Yuanzhang wants to reform the salt affairs, and whoever can provide effective reform plans will be taken seriously, which will also make a great contribution.

In particular, improving the production speed of salt is a top priority.

I saw the salt in the bag, with clear grains, white and crystal clear. It was completely different from the salt they commonly saw. Lu was shocked and said, "You said this is salt?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunzhen nodded.

Mr. Lu tasted some and found that it was really salt. It was very pure and beautiful.

She asked again: "Where did you get this salt?"

These refined salts instantly reminded her of a possibility that could be used to gain merit.

"Second brother and the others taught me how to do it."

"You can do it too?"

"Of course I will. I just want to be my mother-in-law. Can you please stop beating me?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked pitifully.

"Silly boy, how come my mother-in-law is willing to beat you?"

Mrs. Lu put away the salt bag, threw the cane aside, hugged the naughty child, showed a smile, and said: "It was my mother's fault just now, so I apologize to you. You did a good job this time and made a great contribution." Got it!"

Zhu Yunxuan was finally relieved and said, "It's good that the concubine is not angry."

Madam Lu warned: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, and you can't mention it to anyone else, not even Zhu Yunxi and the others. As long as you do it, I will take you out of the palace to play in two days."

"Really?"

Zhu Yunxuan cheered: "Thank you, concubine, I will definitely be able to do it."

Lu said: "You wait at home for a while, I will ask someone to find your eldest brother."

With that said, she shouted outside: "Bring the emperor's eldest grandson back."

Zhu Yunzhen didn't know what his mother-in-law was going to do. As a naughty boy, his idea was very simple. Since his mother-in-law said so, he would just wait at home.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen finally came back.

Mrs. Lu told what had happened just now, and then asked Zhu Yunwen to say it again. Zhu Yunwen was immediately surprised, and a new sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

If Zhu Yunxi succeeds, he loses another round, will not be appreciated by the emperor, and will soon have nothing.

Zhu Yunwen was very worried and must not let this happen. His expectant eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen, as if it was his own hope, and asked: "Third brother, do you really know how to make that salt?"

Zhu Yunxuan nodded. He didn't know why they valued salt so much.
