Inside Fengtian Hall.

There were several bundles of thorns placed on the ground, and the palace people did not dare to raise their heads.

And Du Andao also looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart. He stood there with his eyes closed.

It was all because Zhu Yuanzhang was watching his two grandsons being punished, while Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Yunxi were kneeling on the thorn branches.

Fortunately, the former didn't make any sound, just like a dull gourd.

On the other hand, the latter kept wailing and the sound was so shrill that people couldn't bear to hear it.

"Do you two realize your mistake?"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth to question the two of them, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Zhu Yunxi, who couldn't hold it in for a long time, heard this and quickly begged for mercy, fearing that it would be half a step too late.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson realizes his mistake, please spare him this time."

After saying that, he deliberately bared his teeth and put on a ferocious expression.

Under normal circumstances, such misfortunes would have taken effect.

But today is different from the past.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even frown, and questioned him again in a much harsher voice than before.

"Then what's your mistake?"

This sentence left Zhu Yunxi speechless.

He knew what was wrong, but he had to say these words from his own mouth.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of Zhu Shangbing? He could only shrug his head and say nothing.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hated that iron could not become steel, so he scolded him.

"You are arrogant and willful. Do you really think that the Jinyi Guards can't detect these things? Why would you come out to cause trouble again when I told you to keep to yourself? If you do this again, just go and join the feudal clan."

When it came to finally moving out of the feudal clan, Zhu Yunxi realized that a disaster was coming.

Facing those eyes full of disappointment, he felt a thump in his heart and quickly spoke to make a promise.

"No, Grandpa Huang, your grandson will definitely change."

Little did he know that this reaction pushed him further and further away from his position as grandson. When Zhu Shangbing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

This means that one has too much ambition and too little power. Even if one becomes a grandson, one’s virtue is not worthy of his position.

Under Zhu Yunxi's uninterrupted assurance, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples and asked Du Andao to find some eunuchs to send him back to the East Palace.

Without him, the hall was silent.

He looked at the man in front of him, whose white robe was stained red with blood, but remained silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked him the same question.

"Zhu Shangbing, do you know where you went wrong?"

None of the guessed answers are correct.

When Zhu Shangbing heard this question, he first sneered, then shook his head.

He staggered up from the thorn branch, his eyes unshakable, he said.

"My grandson is right."

This figure coincided with the one at the banquet that day, carrying an indomitable determination to move forward.

Facing Zhu Shangbing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first, and then shouted inexplicably angrily.

"You beat your brother in public for outsiders. Do you think this is right?"

He couldn't bear to see brothers killing each other, but this happened in the palace.

Even more so, how can we just sit back and ignore what everyone else is saying?

Unexpectedly, his anger was only met with a sneer, and Zhu Shangbing faced him directly without fear.

I didn't choose to reply to that question, but asked him instead.

"Grandpa Huang asked himself, could a brother do what Zhu Yunxi did to his grandson?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, there is no place in the palace that can escape the eyes of the royal guards.

What about what Zhu Yunxi did?

He still admired Emperor Hongwu as before, but only because of his resolute and iron-blooded tactics.

In the twelve years since he came here, Zhu Shangbing's time in the palace has been numbered.

But extremely disappointed.

Maybe I arrived too late and didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang when he unified the Central Plains.

In his later years, there was no Empress Ma and no one to restrain her. Even the crown prince Zhu Biao had died. Too much was done to clear the way for Zhu Yunwen to ascend to the throne.

Thinking of the last assassination attempt on Mao Xiang, a chill rose from the bottom of my heart.

Maybe he also became a stumbling block.

Zhu Shangbing's heart was already filled with turmoil at this time, and he didn't know what to say.

The person opposite didn't realize anything was wrong and asked two questions again.

"Then your father did something wrong. Why did the late prince come to plead for mercy? Your father did the right thing?"

The incident involving Zhu Ping back then was a sure thing.

Zhu Shangbing became more and more disappointed. He looked at the person in front of him and sighed inwardly.

Hongwu was a good emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not a good family member.

Just hear a plop.

The man in front of him knelt down again, his brows slightly furrowed and the determination in his eyes did not change. His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hall.

"How unfair the imperial grandfather was, how kind the late prince was, did Zhu Yunxi have any respect for it?"

"In this case, my grandson is willing to kneel on the thorn tree forever, which is regarded as repaying the feelings of the past. In the future, I hope that Zhu Yunxi and his grandson will not violate the river when entering water."

Stubborn.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and left, but when he stepped out, he couldn't bear to look back again.

Looking at that figure, his eyes were complicated and he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he left and rushed to Zhu Yunwen's place.

…

Inside the side hall of the East Palace.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen who was still reviewing his homework in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that unyielding look in his eyes.

I was lost in thought for a moment, and it took me a few times to calm down.

While he was dazed, he thought about a lot of things. That sentence was so unfair that it was like a sharp thorn.

Zhu Shangbing was pushed away by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but...

He looked at the young Zhu Yunwen in front of him, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

When I continue to suffer from the chaos, now that I have made my choice.

There was absolutely no turning back. He wanted to try to see if he could turn the tide and help his promising grandson save his country.

After thinking about it, he saw that Zhu Yunwen had packed his things and asked.

"Yunwen, if a rabbit wants to be the fastest runner, but there are several rabbits outside that are faster than it, what do you think it should be done?"

The latter was startled at this statement, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

I lowered my head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly I had an idea.

"Why don't we find a way to lure them away? If we move to another place, we can get away from the rabbit group and the problem will be solved."

This may not be a solution, but...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, which was very similar to his later elimination of feudal clans.

The vassal king was imprisoned, which finally led to the Yan King's counterattack.

He could only shake his head, raised his hand to touch Zhu Yunwen's head, and explained patiently.

"This plan doesn't work. If it were me, I would choose to contain them and let them feel a sense of crisis for each other. The snipe and the clam will compete with each other and the fisherman will benefit."

At this point, Zhu Yunwen is not a stupid person, so how can he not understand the truth?

This is comparing the rabbits to the royal family.
