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

Chapter 469 New Means
  There was an incident where brother Zhu Gaoxu gave gifts. The other princes and grandsons brought things in, no matter whether they were valuable or not, they all were given to Lao Zhu as gifts.

But none of what they sent was what Zhu Di had prepared to suit the old man's liking.

After all, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao had specially studied it and came prepared.

The princes and grandsons, who had brought nothing in, sat helplessly below, secretly scolding Zhu Di for breaking the rules. He wanted to give gifts this year without notifying them in advance, leaving them unprepared and making this New Year's Eve dinner very uncomfortable.

Even if there is something wrong with the atmosphere, the New Year’s Eve dinner still has to go on.

Zhu Xuan didn't feel anything about his fourth uncle's behavior. He still had to eat what he should eat, and he didn't delay the important work of eating. By the way, he paid attention to Zhu Yunwen's situation.

They were much calmer, they just came to eat and did nothing else.

Later, Lao Zhu rewarded them with something else in return for receiving the gift.

Some court ministers, intentionally or unintentionally, went to propose a toast to Zhu Di.

They seemed to think that Zhu Yunwen had no hope at all, so they chose Zhu Di instead, praying to open a breakthrough with Zhu Di. Most people were still reluctant to support Zhu Xuan.

Perhaps the reason why Zhu Xuan was Zhu Biao's illegitimate son was not well received. Those civil servants were all scholars, and they studied Confucianism, and they paid great attention to those etiquette.

The New Year's Eve dinner is coming to an end soon.

Nothing else happened during this period, just a simple meal.

After dinner.

Those princes and grandsons who still lived in the palace stayed, and those who lived outside the palace left with the ministers. The imperial garden quickly returned to silence. As the shed that blocked the snow was removed, snowflakes covered it again, and it was full of splendor.

When Zhu Yunwen left, he glanced at the team of ministers, then walked over and found Zhan Hui in the crowd.

Zhan Hui, the current official minister, is also still alive.

Lan Yu is not dead yet, and he has not been implicated by Lan Yu. However, historically, his death was inseparable from Zhu Yunwen. At this time, Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to find Zhan Hui.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Zhan Hui saw him coming and asked curiously.

In fact, Zhan Hui at this time was also from the emperor's grandson's faction.

Firmly supporting Zhu Yunwen will benefit their civil servant group.

Zhu Yunwen said: "I have something that I want to talk to Mr. Zhan. Is Mr. Zhan free tomorrow?"

"Yes, but..."

"This matter has something to do with my little brother."

Zhu Yunwen interrupted him but what he said next.

As long as anything related to Zhu Xuan is basically related to Zhu Yunwen, then it is still related to the emperor's grandson.

However, Zhan Hui was a little hesitant when he thought about what happened to Wang Du.

I'm worried that Zhu Yunwen will mess up again and get himself screwed. This is not good.

But the interests of their civil servant group are very important, and they don't want to miss any opportunity.

Zhan Hui hesitated until the end and asked, "What does Your Highness want to do?"

Zhu Yunwen said: "This time is different from last time. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhan, everything will be fine."

"it is good!"

Zhan Hui still agreed.

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, turned around and left.

They didn't talk for long. In other people's eyes, they just touched each other briefly, then separated from each other and went back.

-

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xuan back to Qianqing Palace.

"Those blind things just went to find the fourth child one after another."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and said: "The Fourth Brother's side is more lively than ours."

The officials in the DPRK are in great trouble.

They insisted on taking sides and forming cliques, but they were all blind and couldn't see that the good boy was the team they should be on.

On the one hand, he didn't want those officials to be too close to his grandson, and he was worried that his grandson would listen to their deceptions on everything. On the other hand, he didn't want his grandson not to be recognized and affirmed.

Human thoughts are always contradictory. Zhu Xuan said: "My fourth uncle is now the head of the vassal, and he knows many officials in the court. Is there anything wrong with them having a glass of wine with each other?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "My dear grandson knows how to speak for them."

But tonight, Zhu Di took the initiative to say that he had no idea and that his vigilance was indeed not that high. Let them go as they please!
  At worst, I'll help my good grandson and kill another group of people when the time comes.

Kill all those who are dissatisfied.

"What my grandson said is true."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Today is a happy day, Grandpa Huang, don't be angry."

"Okay, we're not angry."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Seeing that my good grandson is by my side, we are not angry anymore. Let's go back and have a good rest. It's already late."

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang also needs to rest early and don't read the memorial secretly."

Zhu Yuanzhang said warmly: "Now that we have rested, we have finished reading the memorial, and we can finally rest for two days."

Zhu Xuan still attaches great importance to Grandpa Huang's health care.

Hearing what he said, Zhu Xuan felt relieved for the time being and went back to his small yard.

Hou Xian came over immediately, took off his coat, and asked someone to bring him hot water to wash his hands and soak his feet.

Zhu Xuan said: "Okay, you can go down and have a rest."

When he was almost relaxed, he lay down on the bed.

After thinking about the recent events, he fell asleep comfortably.

Early the next morning.

After Zhu Xuan got up, he first went to see Grandpa Huang and asked about the New Year's red envelope.

Not long after, other imperial uncles also came into the palace to pay their respects to the imperial grandfather. Zhu Xuan also asked them for red envelopes and made good relations with them by the way.

Even Zhu Di behaved quite harmoniously today and was able to talk and laugh with Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether Zhu Di's performance was from the heart or just for show, but he was still a little happy in his heart. It would be great if they could be in harmony and let go of their worries.

Stayed until noon.

After having lunch with Grandpa Huang, Zhu Xuan left the palace and went to Xu's house. He found Xu Miaojin. They were not afraid of the cold and went outside to play together.

"Brother, look at that little dwarf."

Xu Miaojin suddenly pointed to the roadside. The little dwarf he was talking about was none other than Ashikaga Yoshimochi, and he hadn't gone back yet.

"He is still in Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xuan said: "Go over and take a look."

When Yan Guan heard this, he immediately arranged for the Jinyi guards to stop Ashikaga Yoshimochi.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!"

When Ashikaga Yoshinori saw that it was Zhu Xuan who stopped him, he immediately became cautious and said in a low voice: "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Come out for a walk, what are you doing?"

Ashikaga Yoshichichi smiled and said, "I just walked around casually. The Ming Yingtian Mansion is too prosperous. I can't bear to go back right away. I want to stay for a while."

After a pause, he made a bold decision, which was also the task given by his father. He asked cautiously: "Although our Japanese country is small, it is still quite good. Does Your Highness have time to visit our Japanese country?" "

"That's what I meant."

Zhu Xuan really wants to visit Japan within this year.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi: "..."

He just tried to say it, but there was no guarantee that Zhu Xuan would agree. Is he really agreeing to go to Japan now?

When did the grandson of the Ming Dynasty become so talkative?

Is it in the form of attacking the Japanese country?

Various thoughts emerged in Ashikaga Yoshinori's mind.
