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

Chapter 48 Zhu Yunwen: Grandpa Huang, your grandson realizes his mistake

Now that you have decided, use salt to take credit.

After school, Zhu Yunwen arranged for people to prepare the salt. He did not go to school the next day. After the morning court had retired, he asked a eunuch to see Zhu Yuanzhang with a bowl of salt.

After waiting for about half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he wanted to cooperate with Zhu Xuan for a while, but this idea had long since faded and was still put aside, but the Salt Transfer Department was already in operation.

Not many people outside knew about this matter. The people below were afraid of Lao Zhu and kept it strictly confidential. No one dared to leak it casually.

Even Qitai and the others didn't know what happened.

"Meet the emperor!"

Zhu Yunwen entered the hall and bowed first.

"Yunwen is looking for us, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and remembered his cooperation with Zhu Xuan, and couldn't help but frown.

This grandson can't be real, and he wants to use that salt to claim credit?
  If so, he will be disappointed again.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really want to give Zhu Yunwen the position of next heir. If he comes to grab the credit again, Zhu Yunwen will probably be marginalized by him and will get nothing in the future.

Zhu Yunwen felt a little uneasy.

When doing this kind of thing, there are both risks and benefits. If you are not careful, you will fail completely. However, he is very eager to be recognized and get credit.

He was also eager to step on Zhu Yunxi and maintain his position.

Although he also considered the possibility of failure or traps, Zhu Yunxi still decided to give it a try. He had been lagging behind for two years. If he did not catch up, he might be left behind by Zhu Yunxi.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Zhu Yunwen was still a little nervous, swallowed his saliva, and fought hard!
  "My grandson knew that Grandpa Huang was worried about reforming the salt affairs and wanted to relieve Grandpa Huang from his worries, so he thought of a way." Zhu Yunwen said.

"Oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that he would actually come because of this incident.

However, it is still unclear whether Zhu Yunxi's method uses Zhu Yunxi's salt.

"what way?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Zhu Yunwen looked back at the eunuch and said, "Send the salt up to Grandpa Huang to see."

"Yes!"

The eunuch came forward with the salt in his hands, but Yunqi quickly took it and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's table.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed instantly. These salts were exactly the same as what the little good grandson gave us. Originally, he thought that Zhu Yunwen would not do such a thing after half a month of silence.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yunwen could still be quiet for half a month, and only now does he come out to grab credit.

It was just a child's naughty behavior, but he didn't expect it to become a reality. Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uncomfortable. Before Zhu Biao's death, he taught Zhu Yunwen as the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he valued it very much.

The greater the hope at the beginning, the greater the disappointment now.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "These salts are so fine and white, Yunwen, where did you get them?"

Zhu Yunwen still couldn't see Lao Zhu's reaction. Hearing this, he explained: "This is a salt-making method that Sun Er, through the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Salt Transfer Department, found several salt-making people and worked together to improve it. Using this method This method makes salt very quickly. Grandpa Huang recently wanted to reform the salt industry, but he was struggling with the inability to increase the salt production speed, resulting in not much salt on the market. This method can be used to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunwen was very worried.

However, I felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had no other reaction and was not angry. He seemed to be very interested in the salt.

He thought it might be safe this time!
  It can restore the favor lost in the past two years.

Just when he was about to feel excited and happy, Zhu Yuanzhang's next words seemed to give him a basin of cold water, extinguishing all hope.

"These salts are indeed good, but I think we've seen them before."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was shocked.

A bad feeling came over me.

There was a layer of sweat visible on his forehead, and he was so scared that his teeth were chattering and he was shivering. "Yun Qi, help us pass the news for Lu Jun to come in." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Lu Jiong is the salt envoy.

Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to speak anymore. He suddenly knelt down and put on his clothes without any wind. Something was really wrong.

How to do?
  He regrets it now, so he should listen to Huang Zicheng's advice and not take risks.

"What else can I do?" Zhu Yunwen was thinking.

He lowered his head in fear again, not daring to say anything. The goodwill he had finally gained during the hunt was lost all at once.

After a while.

Lu Jong came in and bowed.

"Look, these salts are the ones we recently ordered to produce."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yunqi to deliver the bowl of salt to Lu Jiong.

Lu Jong looked at it for a while and said, "Your Majesty, that's right!"

"Tell our eldest grandson, when will we let you produce these salts?"

"Half a month ago."

As Lu Jiong said this, he looked at Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling next to him. He was very puzzled and thought, what is going on?
  Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Tell our eldest grandson again, who taught you how to make salt?"

Lu Jiong bowed and said, "The method of making salt comes from the eunuchs who work with the little emperor's grandson."

"Okay, you step back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Lu Jiong felt baffled, but remembered that Lao Zhu had ordered that the salt matter must be kept secret.

There must be some secret in it, so he better not make random guesses, act as if he didn't know anything, and quickly walk out of the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen again and asked: "So Yunwen, tell us, was it really you who led people to research your salt-making method, or was it obtained through other means?"

"Grandson..."

Zhu Yunwen wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.

He even wanted to bite back and say that Zhu Yunxi had stolen his salt-making method, but with a relatively weak personality, he did not dare to do so and did not know how to explain it.

"We'll give you a chance and hope you can perform well, but is this your performance?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "We are very disappointed in you!"

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson realizes his mistake."

Zhu Yunwen felt sour and cried. While crying, he kowtowed and said, "My grandson is too impatient. He can't wait to get credit and get the attention of the emperor. This is my grandson's fault. Please punish me."

"Even if we punish you, it won't help. Your nature is hard to change, and jealousy is hard to change."

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely disappointed and said: "Yunxi and the others have given us the salt a long time ago, but we did not announce it to the outside world. Didn't you see that within half a month, we will no longer discuss the salt reform?"

Zhu Yun was stunned.

In fact, if they think about it carefully, they can easily find the problem, but they are too eager for quick success and instant gain, thus neglecting other things.

Zhu Yunwen quickly crawled over and said in a tearful voice: "Please, Grandpa Huang, give your grandson another chance. He really knows that he was wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and said, "Yunxi and Yunxuan are here, and by the way, Yunxian is also here."

Yunqi hurried down to summon him.

Now Zhu Yunwen really had no chance, and he knelt on the ground in despair.
