Zhu Biao was reciting poems with some students at home, when the housekeeper hurried in from outside.
When looking at Zhu Biao, he looked a little panicked for no reason.
"His Royal Highness, someone is coming to the palace. His Majesty wants you to go to the imperial study. I heard that he lost his temper."
The butler's eyes were very complicated, but Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. He very calmly asked a few students to go down first.
He went to the backyard to tidy up his clothes.
The butler followed behind.
"What should I do, Prince? If His Majesty gets angry and asks you to reprimand him, what should I do?"
"Why don't we go find His Royal Highness first? Maybe he can help."
Everyone in Yingtian Mansion knows that as long as Zhu Han takes action.
No matter how angry Zhu Yuanzhang is, he can still calm it down.
Zhu Biao did not speak. He glanced at the nervous butler beside him and just curled his lips and smiled.
"I have not done anything to dissatisfy my father during these days. If he pursues me, it has nothing to do with me. If my father punishes me for other things."
"That may indeed be what I did wrong, which made my father angry. It won't be too late to see clearly after I go there and find a solution."
"What we are doing now is nothing more than useless efforts. What my father dislikes the most is other people's speculation about him."
Zhu Biao's behavior is open and honest.
He will not deny his own achievements because of other people's speculations.
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, the housekeeper felt that there was some truth in it, so he no longer had any worries.
On the contrary, Zhu Di was already running around anxiously.
He just called all the officials to his home yesterday to discuss countermeasures. Unexpectedly, the next day he was taken to the imperial study by Zhu Yuanzhang for questioning.
Zhu Di had sweat on his head. He sat in the study in the backyard and meditated for a long time.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang waited in the imperial study room for a stick of incense before Zhu Biao and Zhu Di arrived belatedly.
When Zhu Biao said hello to Zhu Han with a calm look on his face, he saluted politely and stood beside Zhu Han, looking graceful.
His eyebrows were full of confidence, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked very happy.
On the contrary, Zhu Di's eyes had already averted when he came in.
As I sat aside, I was already planning in my mind how I was going to apologise.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his two sons.
"I called you here today because I have something to ask. A lot of things have happened in Yingtian Mansion these days. I believe you have already inquired a lot about it."
"Your uncle is also here today, and we are also planning to figure out who is doing this secretly."
Zhu Biao was puzzled when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. He glanced at Zhu Han in surprise and saw Zhu Han's face was calm.
"Father, the emperor and his sons don't know what the father is doing."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with confusion.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to sit down first, and then placed the memorials of several officials' talks with Zhu Biao and Zhu Di in front of them.
"You two, take a closer look. What do these officials think of you? When I paid a private visit incognito, there was clearly no situation in the DPRK or China."
"Is it possible that something like this suddenly happened now? They can't stand you two as long as you are here."
Zhu Di picked up the memorial and took a look at it. Without exception, the officials above were planning to replace Zhu Biao.
Some officials were even filing memorials, stating that they were doing business in Yintian Mansion just to use the money they earned to recruit troops.
There is even a desire to rebel...
Zhu Di's face became paler and paler, and Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly see their every move.
From Zhu Biao's memorial, it can be seen that the officials were simply impeaching Zhu Biao and were following Zhu Han to learn business these days.
They don't care about other things, which makes them unable to endure it now.
A dignified prince only thinks about making money instead of managing national affairs.
Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly, stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and explained it carefully.
"Father, I don't know. There is not much money in the treasury now, and the soldiers on the front line are still waiting for the food and grass to be ready."
"Several letters from General Xu have arrived in the past few days, and Yingtian Mansion, without exception, is asking us to prepare more food and grass."
"When the winter comes, the soldiers' military pay must also be distributed without delay. Therefore, I thought that I could earn more money with the emperor's uncle and fill the national treasury even more."
"The soldiers will no longer have such worries, and the generals will be able to win more battles without having to worry about anything later."
Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Yuanzhang look at him with admiration.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen Xu Da's memorial.
It's just that he has always turned a blind eye, and now the situation of the soldiers has become slightly more complicated.
The Mongolian army still wanted to harm them, so Xu Da was kept guarding the border.
Their situation has become more and more complicated, and they will never let others take advantage of it.
Although the treasury vacancy was a fatal problem for the Ming Dynasty, fortunately with Zhu Han, there would be no problems with food and grass.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased that Zhu Biao could think of this.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di, who frowned and seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Fourth brother, please tell me where the memorial to impeach you came from. Do you agree with their speculation about you?"
Zhu Di quickly stood up and quickly defended himself in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
He never had any intention of rebellion, he only wanted to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.
He never had any worries about these things.
All along, Zhu Di only wanted to use his own strength to let more people know that he never wanted to compete with Zhu Biao for position.
He pretended to be very kind, just so that the officials in the court could fall to his side when Zhu Biao did something wrong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "These are all false accusations by my father. Although my son wanted to make meritorious deeds, he never thought of treason before, and he never recruited any troops.
"
"Father, please do not listen to the rumors of these officials."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and his expression became much calmer, but then Zhu Han stood up and looked at Zhu Di with a smile on his face.
"It turns out that in His Majesty's heart, raising troops privately is not a rebellion. I still remember what happened to Wang An a few days ago."
"You even locked people up in their homes and beat them up. You had dozens of soldiers at that time."
"Although they are secret guards, they all hold out their hands vigorously. I am afraid they are not trying to cause anything in Yingtian Mansion."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glared at Zhu Di fiercely.
Zhu Di quickly knelt on the ground and started to defend himself. When he looked at Zhu Han, his eyes were savage and pleading.
"Uncle Emperor, you really misunderstood. What happened to Wang An at that time was indeed because he had many connections with Hu Weiyong."
"Hu Weiyong was a corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty, and the people under him were naturally not very good people. When I thought about Wang An, I became very angry, so I took this step."
"But from the beginning to the end, I have never had any scruples about Wang An. Including the secret guards at home, they are just the people who practice with me on weekdays."
"They have never had other thoughts. Uncle Huang really misunderstood me."
Zhu Biao was also a little shocked.
He did not expect that Zhu Han would tell Zhu Yuanzhang all those things in front of him today.
This made him suddenly feel worried.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang finds out about this, he will definitely not forgive him easily.
As expected, even now, no matter what Zhu Di said, he had lost Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di.
"It is not allowed for you to raise troops privately in the house, whether they are ten, hundreds or thousands of people. As a prince, you don't know such rules. You really let me down."
Zhu Di knelt on the ground and suddenly didn't know how to defend himself.
Zhu Han didn't want his father and son to be divorced like this, so he stood up and said a few good words for Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, since there are these secret guards in King Yan's palace now, it is better to let them be directly integrated into the Jinyi Guards. They are more or less talented people."
"After being sent to the Jinyi Guards with high martial arts skills, they can also serve the imperial court. This can be regarded as the talents cultivated by His Highness King Yan."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Zhu Han deeply.
"If you really think so, don't pursue the rumors he spread against you and the harm he caused."
Zhu Han curled his lips and smiled, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew everything.
It's just that I turned a blind eye and didn't want to make things worse.
Many situations in Yingtian Mansion have already exceeded their expectations.
If you make a big fuss about this, I'm afraid many people will hate it in the future.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had been diligently working for the benefit of the people for so many years. Naturally, he did not want his reputation to be ruined in the hands of his son.
Zhu Han used retreat to advance, never intending to separate the father and son.
To truly teach Zhu Di some lessons, as long as he has no other thoughts in the future, Zhu Han will not be able to have much influence on him.
So Zhu Han nodded and gave Zhu Di a meaningful look.
"Prince Yan has been a child with strong morale since he was a child. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. He definitely doesn't have any bad thoughts towards me."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter anymore. Just consider that I have forgiven King Yan."
Zhu Di suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.
He did so many things, all of which were to cause trouble for Zhu Han.
In fact, they all knew what he was thinking. He only wanted to make Zhu Han lose Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmation and had no place in Yingtian Mansion.
Now that something like this happened, he truly realized Zhu Han's good intentions, but now it was too late to say anything.
"The prince breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people. He has done this kind of thing several times. Huang Ye had already made people upset at the beginning."
"Many officials in the court have been resisting him. Now I have protected him at the risk of the world's disapproval."
"I didn't expect that he would be so ignorant. In this case, he is confined to his home and cannot leave without my orders. If those officials come to your house again, don't blame me for ignoring the love between father and son."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment this time was not severe, it indeed showed the emperor's thoughts.
Even though Zhu Di had thousands of dissatisfactions in his heart, he could only bow his head when the matter had come to this.
Zhu Han saw Zhu Di's thoughts and did not make too much noise.
He and Zhu Yuanzhang are both the same type of people.
For the people of this world, they can pay any price, but they cannot let future generations point fingers at them.
After coming out of the imperial study room, Zhu Biao took a deep breath.
Looking at Zhu Han, he felt his scalp numb. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry today that he was even afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would behead Zhu Di.
"My father is so powerful, but this time he is aware of everything, but I don't know who has spread those rumors in Yingtian Mansion."
"If it is not stopped, the emperor's reputation will be damaged."
Zhu Han turned a blind eye to this matter.
From the beginning to the end, he knew better than anyone else that these rumors about Ying Tianfu had actually already happened to him, but he just didn't want to get involved.
In any situation, you just need to be able to arrange all these things as quickly as possible.
Naturally, there will be no worries at all.
Zhu Han knows what Zhu Yuanzhang has done better than anyone else. Now that Zhu Biao can get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, this makes Zhu Han even more gratified.
"The prince is the one who can truly be benevolent and righteous. What King Yan did this time has already lost all support."
"He doesn't know it. Now that he has made the matter so big, His Majesty has lost a lot of thoughts about him."
"Therefore, no matter how strong he is, it has no meaning now. The prince must remain consistent."
Zhu Han's words made Zhu Biao feel warm in his heart.
The news that Zhu Di was banned soon spread in Yingtian Mansion, and the people talked a lot.
"I heard that King Yan has indeed angered His Majesty this time. He has already caused many courtiers to impeach him in the business field. Now we are really relieved."
"The prince is the one who can truly think about the people of the world. There is no way to compare him with King Yan. We, the people, still support the prince the most."
"When doing business, the prince has always been very serious. Now that something like this has happened, he will naturally not let the situation continue to develop. If the prince compares with King Yan, he will definitely win."
The eyes of the common people are sharp.
They know best who can bring them peace. Zhu Biao has always treated the people as his own.
Even during private visits in incognito, he always handles national affairs from the perspective of the people.
He often went to express condolences to the soldiers in the military camp, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
This farce finally turned the tide under Zhu Han's efforts. It did not make the ministers in the court more ugly, but it still made many people panic when they went to court.
In the court hall, the officials all whispered to each other in low voices, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would catch him if he was not careful.
They had a very close relationship with Zhu Di in private.
