Daming: I am the Crown Prince

Chapter 61
Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling felt very dazed about what had happened in the past few days and could not react at all.

In the morning, they left the palace and went to the Prince of Kaiping's Mansion with the imperial aunt, and then saw their grandmother scolding the wife of the Duke of Liang severely. The wife of the Duke of Liang could only kneel with her head down, not daring to refute a word.

Suddenly, I saw my second uncle coming back happily. He said that at the morning court, His Majesty personally decided who would preside over the reburial of the Crown Princess and who would preside over the funeral of the Crown Prince.

Even if they are not very sensitive to politics, they can know at this moment that after today's morning court, their younger brother will definitely become the crown prince.

I am not bragging. The answer to this question has already been known, but people all over the world just realized it later.

Chang Lan was also very excited and felt that it was time to rectify the family tradition. Although the position of the grandson was stable, he must not be affected by the affairs of the Chang and Lan families at this time.

Although he was punished to kneel, Zhu Yunhuan only knelt for a while and then was allowed to return to Rouyi Palace.

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling had long lost the mood to watch their grandmother teach their great-aunt Lan Mu a lesson in the Prince of Kaiping's Palace, and they had returned to the palace long ago.

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan, Zhu Youling couldn't wait to ask, "Little brother, did my second uncle say that the matter at the morning court meeting has really been decided?"

"It's settled. You guys pack up. We'll probably move back to the East Palace in the next two days." Zhu Yunhuan looked at Rouyi Palace without missing it. "After all, the three of us grew up in the East Palace. We should go back."

Zhu Yourong asked worriedly, "What about her?"

"Under the current circumstances, how could Grandfather let her stay in the Eastern Palace?" Zhu Yunhuan said directly, "We'll probably find an unused palace for them to move to. You can go there when you have time. If nothing else, just for the sake of the fourth and fifth brothers."

Zhu Youling asked again, "What about the child born in that family?"

"Although there is no precedent for a prince to be enfeoffed, he definitely cannot stay in Yingtian Prefecture." Zhu Yunhuan said, "I originally thought that he might be asked to move out of the palace. Grandfather means that he will be enfeoffed in a month or two."

Zhu Youling immediately said, "Let him go to a bitter and cold place, or let him go to a smoky and miasma-filled place!"

Zhu Yunhuan rolled his eyes and said, "That would be like killing him. It would be better for him to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou and travel around. Didn't he have a jerk teacher before? Send him there as well."

Zhu Youling was outspoken and said with some dissatisfaction, "Little brother! How can you be so nice to them when they treat you like that? If outsiders knew about this, they would say you are kind, or they would say you are weak and can be bullied!"

Looking at his second sister, Zhu Yunxun smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Not only can they not accomplish anything together, they are also too bookish. As long as they are alive and well, my reputation will not be bad!"

There must always be some living signs, and Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng are the best living signs.

The existence of some mascots is also very meaningful.

He could have ignored his reputation, or killed Huang Zicheng to vent his anger. There was nothing much to say, and some people could understand.

But if you think about it, it is still not cost-effective. Not only can it vent your anger, but since the overall situation has been decided, it is still necessary to consider maximizing benefits.

What's more, Zhu Yunwen will be of great use in the future. He will serve as a role model for the royal family and will be brought up from time to time. A series of policies will need to start with him.

A cold snort was heard, and Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling knelt down in panic.

Zhu Yunhuan was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not time for dinner yet."

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunxun and said, "Why are you telling them this?"

"My sisters are good in everything else except that they are timid. I say this to reassure them." Zhu Yunhuan explained, "I am not bragging. My two sisters are both female Zhuge Liangs. They are well-read and knowledgeable. I am where I am today because of their careful care!"

Old Zhu was too lazy to listen to Zhu Yunhuan's boasting, and said, "Pack up and move back to the East Palace the day after tomorrow. Your two sisters don't know how to manage the household, so let Concubine Ning take care of it first. Before you get a wife, I guess we will still have to worry about you."

"That's true." Zhu Yunhuan admitted bluntly, "If I were really asked to manage the Eastern Palace, I wouldn't do that."

Old Zhu continued, "Your mother's burial will be moved three days later. Remember to summon the relevant officials to inquire about the ceremonial procedures in the next two days, and then go to Wenhua Hall to do the work."

Wenhua Hall, that's where the Crown Prince works. Without waiting for Zhu Yunhuan to speak, Old Zhu continued, "Remember to summon Princess Ping and your aunts. Your mother's funeral will be moved, and the ladies of state must also go. You two female Zhuges must also go, I'm afraid they don't know how to do things now!"

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling lowered their heads and dared not speak. They naturally knew that the "female Zhuge" mentioned by their grandfather was a mockery and dissatisfaction with them.

"Then I don't have a palace talisman here." Zhu Yunhuan said, "Even if I summoned them, no one would listen to my order."

Old Zhu looked at his grandson who was getting more and more demanding, and he felt that the routine was very familiar. "You won't send him to us? If you want to meet someone or do something, have someone send him to us first. If we approve it, you can meet him naturally!"

Old Zhu was very angry and said, "You haven't learned anything good, and you are just as good at taking advantage of others as your father! You still want to do things without my help?"

After saying that, Lao Zhu turned away, feeling so angry that he didn't want to eat anymore.

Halfway through the walk, Lao Zhu asked, "Have you decided where Yunwen is going?"

"Hangzhou." Zhu Yunhuan said with a smile, "But we can't give the title of King Wu to the King, as he is now a prince. Otherwise, it can be the King of Lin'an or the King of Wulin?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Hangzhou is an important city, it's not a good place. Let's go to Shaoxing, be crowned the King of Kuaiji, and build a Prince's Palace there first."

It is said that a Prince's Mansion is being built, but it is definitely built according to the standards for a Prince.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a vassal in the Ming Dynasty who no one can tell whether he is a prince or a duke, namely the Prince of Jingjiang.

This is the lineage of Zhu Wenzheng, but Zhu Shouqian, who was imprisoned twice and conferred a title twice, died at the beginning of the year. The title of King of Jingjiang was still retained and was prepared to be given to Zhu Shouqian's legitimate son Zhu Zanyi.

This is the only prince of the royal family who is not of Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodline, but from Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest brother. In many aspects, he enjoys special treatment equivalent to that of a prince, or lower than that of a prince, but higher than that of a county prince, including the palace, which is at the same level as that of a prince.

Old Zhu was not only good to his own son, he could even tolerate his nephew who kept getting into trouble.

Zhu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "I was talking about Hangzhou before. Yunhuan really can't accomplish anything. No matter how good Shaoxing is, can it be as good as Hangzhou? They are all there to travel around. Who wouldn't praise me for being magnanimous and treating the royal family well?"

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling were very anxious. They both thought that going to Shaoxing was a bargain for Zhu Yunwen. Moreover, it would be bad to contradict the emperor's grandfather now!
Old Zhu pointed at Zhu Yunhuan and said, "Then let's release Huang Zicheng. This was your idea, so it's not our fault!"

"Release him. He has a good relationship with Yunwen. Otherwise Yunwen will think that I am intolerant and depressed all day long." Zhu Yunxun said with a smile, "Let him be a vassal king with peace of mind. I can tolerate Huang Zicheng, and I can also ignore my own brothers!"

Old Zhu was both angry and amused. "You, can't you learn from your father? He did good things and gained a reputation. You did good things but don't want a reputation! With Yun Wen and Huang Zicheng's brains, can they understand your good intentions?"

"It doesn't matter whether they understand it or not. It's best if they can understand it. It doesn't matter if they can't." Zhu Yunhuan said nonchalantly, "I don't need them to understand what I do. Otherwise, it's too tiring."

Old Zhu laughed and praised Zhu Yunhuan, saying, "I thought you had such a background and suffered a lot when you were a child, so you are meticulous and cunning. Now it seems that I still underestimated you. You are a broad-minded person and your methods are upright."

"There's no need to think about them. I have a backer!" Zhu Yunxun followed Old Zhu with a smile and said, "It's just that sometimes I think I don't know enough about political tactics. I still need to learn."

The two female Zhuge brothers stood where they were, and the younger brother followed his grandfather. They could not understand the change in the situation.

Isn’t it my great grandfather who is scolding me? Isn’t it me who is talking back to my great grandfather?

How come they suddenly left talking and laughing? It seems that I won’t be able to have dinner in Rouyi Palace again.

The female Zhuge brothers really didn't understand those things, but they were even happier when they thought that their younger brother was about to become the crown prince, and even if he often contradicted his grandfather, he would still be loved.

How can I be an ordinary person? It’s just that many people misunderstood me before!
