When Zhu Fan heard his servants say that there was a fire in the direction of the palace, he ran over in a hurry.

Although he heard someone say that it had been put out when he was halfway there, and that it was not the palace that was burned, but the military battle station next to the palace, he still insisted on seeing his Majesty and wanted to confirm with his own eyes the safety of his father.

When Lao Zhu saw the eagerness and anxiety on his third son's face, he felt filled with relief.

The old Zhu family finally has a filial son, which proves that he has not failed as a father.

In fact, there are several royal palaces that can be seen in the direction of the Bingzhan Bureau, and they are closer than Zhu Fan's.

However, the fire here was extinguished and no one came over. Although Lao Zhu didn't say it, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a person who valued family ties the most. Perhaps the experience of losing his parents and brother when he was young and struggling to survive alone stimulated him. So much so that after he married a daughter-in-law and became a father, he almost doted on his children and indulged them, for fear that they would be afraid of them.

Be wronged.

But no matter what Lao Zhu did, he still couldn't defeat the royal status, which caused many princes to have a big gap between him and him.

What saddened him the most was the self-immolation of Zhu Zi, the eighth brother, two years ago. The reason was that the brother of the princess of Tan King Zhu Zi was involved in the Hu Party case, and Zhu Zi was frightened and panicked.

Lao Zhu also knew that his son was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so he sent a special envoy to comfort him.

However, it was better not to comfort him, but once he comforted him, Zhu Zi thought that his father wanted to implicate him, so he was so frightened that he led the princess to light a fire in the palace and committed suicide overnight!

This incident had a great impact on Lao Zhu. After this incident, Lao Zhu would not easily blame the feudal king for trivial matters. If anyone dared to write a letter of impeachment, he would be punished regardless of whether it was true or false.

But even so, there are still two idiots who would rather hide in the inn than go to the city early to reunite with their father...

Based on the above-mentioned feelings, Lao Zhu was particularly pleased with Zhu Fan's sincere filial piety.

When Lao Zhu saw Zhu Fan walking into the main hall, he stepped forward, grabbed the emperor's hand, and pulled him to the side hall to talk without even waiting for Zhu Fan to finish his salute.

"Father, I haven't seen you yet..."

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"We, father and son, are the closest relatives and we don't pay attention to those false etiquette!"

"Come, come, father, I'm going to tell you something great. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear it!"

"Er Hu also came over and told our prince about his eldest nephew's wisdom, courage, determination, and ability to put out fires, hahaha!"

When Zhu Fan heard his father's wanton laughter, he felt sincerely happy. But when he heard his father's words, he suddenly had a lot of doubts.

If there is a fire in the military battle station, what does it have to do with my eldest nephew?

Although Lao Zhu didn't say which eldest nephew he was, Zhu Fan's family knew about his family affairs, so he recognized his eldest nephew, and the others were just others in his eyes.

Moreover, my father knew about this. Now that my father said this, it must be that little bastard Zhu Yunxi.

"Father, isn't there a fire in the military battle? What does it have to do with Zhu Yunxi?"

"He's in charge of the weapons bureau, and he's far south of the city. He shouldn't have time to come here, right?"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"snort!"

"Then Nisun was taken to the palace and beaten by us just the day before yesterday. The injury on his butt has not healed in the past two days. He has been wandering around the inner city."

When Zhu Fan heard that his eldest nephew was beaten, his heart tightened and he complained a little.

"Father, why did you hit him?"

"well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then his voice became fierce.

"It's not because of your second brother's treacherous son!"

"Your second brother instigated the eldest son of Prince Qin's palace to seduce Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi to visit Goulan House!"

"If we hadn't been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the grandson, we would have almost caused a catastrophe!"

"Think about it, brothers Yunwen and Yunxi are both in the period of filial piety. If this were spread out and the world would see it, they wouldn't be able to laugh at us, the old Zhu family, for being a poor family without proper etiquette!"

When Zhu Fan heard what his father said, he gnashed his teeth in hatred towards the King of Qin.

"Second brother has gone too far. How could he do such a treasonous thing!"

"If you want to fight for the crown prince's position, just fight openly and openly. Using these disgusting little tricks is really shameful!"

Zhu Fan was strong without desire. Ever since he saw the shadow of his eldest brother in Zhu Yunxi and the hope of the future of the old Zhu family, he completely gave up getting involved in the muddy water of the dispute over the crown prince.

If I had to argue, it would be for my eldest nephew.

As for him, he is already a prince, so what can he gain by fighting for it?

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Fan's words, he didn't care at all. Instead, he joined in criticizing Lao Er.

The two men started to criticize for a quarter of an hour on the matter of "Qin King Zhu Feng is not a human being", which made Erhu, who was eager to tell Zhu Yunxi's heroic deeds, scratch his head and head anxiously, wondering what the bastard King Qin had to talk about.

Yes, do you want me to add some information to you two?

With the addition of Erhu, the criticism of the King of Qin became more three-dimensional and vivid. Not only was his childhood history revealed, but all the bad things he did in the fief were revealed by Erhu.

The three people continued to criticize for half an hour, and then they finally ended their criticism of King Qin and turned the topic to the fire incident in the war.

Of course, the reason why it was able to move forward so quickly was mainly due to Erhu's intentional guidance.

Otherwise, with the emperor's violent temper, he would scold the King of Qin for even an hour without waiting for a break!

Erhu first briefly and concisely explained the cause of the fire, which immediately caused Zhu Fan to curse loudly.

"Father, what did my son tell you before? A poisonous woman like Mrs. Lu can't give birth to a good seed!"

"He's just a fan, and he's so obsessed with him that he will be a fool even if he becomes the emperor in the future!"

"Besides, if he really likes her very much, it wouldn't be a big deal to ask you for a favor to change the woman's nationality and then take her to the palace as a rough maid."

"Even if you are angry, the best you can do is give him a good beating. What's there to be afraid of?"

"It's a coincidence that this kid is short-sighted, timid, and has no sense of responsibility. He would rather embezzle public funds to please the old madam than take the risk of being beaten to seek your favor. He is really a coward in the extreme!"

Although Lao Zhu felt that what Zhu Fan said was correct, he still felt that it was too harsh.

"Almost done!"

"No matter how you say it, he is also your eldest brother's biological son. How can you, an uncle, be so mean!"

Although Zhu Fan stopped talking when he heard this, his eyelids rolled back and forth with a look of disdain.

Seeing his behavior, Lao Zhu knew that he couldn't speak to him, so he could only signal Erhu to continue.

After Erhu used Zhu Yunwen's incident as a foreshadowing, he tried his best to add fuel to the fire when talking about Zhu Yunxi's fire-fighting deeds.

Although he did not see the scene in which Zhu Yunxi killed someone and established his authority with his own eyes, because it was hearsay, it was given a lot of legendary color, and he told it more vividly.

Not to mention Zhu Fan was frightened, even Lao Zhu was stunned by him when he saw it with his own eyes.

"The third emperor's grandson rushed forward with a three-foot steel sword in his hand, and saw a flash of light from the sword..."

"good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly remembered that it was the guards who killed the person. His eldest grandson just climbed onto the carriage with his head to scare people. When it got into the mouth of Erhu, his eldest grandson raised the knife and killed a person.

The thugs who obstructed the fire-fighting were killed on the spot?

"The Third Emperor Sun held the bloody head, stepped on the shaft of the carriage, and then jumped onto the carriage with a slight leap..."

"What a great nephew!"

"When the people with humble duties and royal guards to put out the fire arrived, the Third Emperor Sun was already holding red and white flags and commanding thousands of craftsmen in an orderly manner."

"What a great nephew!"

"One team entered to put out the fire, and the other team exited along the original route. There was no noise in the huge battle situation!"

"What a brave and resourceful nephew!"

When Zhu Fan heard that call, his heart was racing, his blood was boiling, and he kept cheering.

After Erhu finished talking about Zhu Yunxi's heroic deeds, Zhu Fan grabbed Lao Zhu's arm and shook him like a rag doll.

"Father!"

"What are you still hesitating about? Our old Zhu family has such a great grandson, why don't you hurry up and make him the crown prince!"

Lao Zhu's face flushed and he was excited by what Erhu said, and he wished he could make a decision on the spot.

However, whenever he was reminded of the short-lived members of the Chang family, he felt depressed.

"Everyone, please step aside. We want to talk to the emperor alone about something!"

Just as Erhu was about to leave, he was stopped by Lao Zhu.

"Erhu stays!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu sent everyone away, he took Zhu Fan's hand and started chatterbox mode with serious words.

"You think we don't want to make that child our heir?"

"Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I can dream about my eldest grandson wearing a dragon robe, sitting in the Golden Palace, and scolding the officials!"
