"Well done. He crashed into His Highness's chamber of commerce. He deserves to die."

Hearing this, Lan Yu said directly without any hesitation...

He has many adopted sons under his command. When he returned to the capital this time, the news of the murder of his adopted sons outside the capital had not yet reached him.

However, Lan Yu's own character is also extremely defensive. He can't even remember the names of so many adopted sons, and he has even barely seen many of them after recognizing him as their adopted father.

How can this be compared with his nephew and grandson? Not to mention that Zhu Ying is the eldest grandson of the emperor, but the same is true for other people, or his sister's children, such as Chang Sen.

Zhu Ying was not surprised when he heard Lan Yu say this. This reaction had been expected by him, but what he wanted to explain was not just this.

Then he said again: "The Duke of Liang feels that they have done so many such outrageous things over the years, and the reason why they are able to be so free now is because of the glory of the Duke of Liang, or is it because of the Duke of Liang?"

The public’s reputation is doing things.”

Faced with Zhu Ying's suggestion, Lan Yu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Duke Liang must know his identity clearly. He is not only a general, but also my uncle and my father's uncle."

"From another point of view, these adopted sons recognized by my uncle can be regarded as relatives of the emperor. I wonder if they should join the clan mansion."

Zhu Ying said coldly that only members of the royal family could enter the clan residence, not even Zhu Ying's grandmother, the Lan family, or the prince's consort, could enter.

What Zhu Ying said was just an exaggerated suggestion.

Lan Yu obviously understood the meaning of Zhu Ying's words. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he had never thought about these things.

For many military generals, they eat meat with a big mouthful, drink a lot of wine, and then fight. If they feel uncomfortable, they just do it and they rarely think about the consequences.

Especially when Lan Yu was growing up, she was greatly influenced by Chang Yuchun.

The good thing is that he is brave in fighting and generous, but the bad thing is that he is prone to trouble.

For example, Lan Yu had the Ming Dynasty Laws and Imperial Edicts that Zhu Yuanzhang tried every means to promote, but he had never read them.

A flash of hesitation flashed across Lan Yu's face. Logically speaking, Zhu Ying's words were all about this, and Lan Yu couldn't care too much about those adopted sons.

It's just that there are so many people at once, and most of them are still in the military, which will have a great impact on the military.

The most important reason why Lan Yu is able to control the core command of the army is to rely on these nominal adopted sons.

After struggling for a long time, Lan Yu said cruelly, "Your Highness, I am giving an order to arrest all the adopted sons, kill those who deserve to be killed, and exile those who deserve to be exiled."

Lan Yu knew very well that the person standing in front of him would be the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He had already made it so obvious, but he still didn't know what was going on. It was no different from confronting the emperor.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said again: "It doesn't need to be too intense. Beating them all to death with a stick won't do."

Hearing this, Lan Yu felt relieved. He thought that Zhu Ying thought that he had too tight control over the army and wanted to eliminate his partisans in the army.

In ancient times, the adopted son seemed to be recognized casually, but the relationship between father and son was real, and filial piety was no joke.

These adopted sons are middle-level officers in the army. If Lan Yu is a big tree, then his adopted sons are Zhiya.

"Please give me your advice, Your Highness."

When it comes to this position, Lan Yu is also a person who can take up and let go. She stood up and bowed to Zhu Yingshen.

It hasn't even been two hours since Lan Yu met Zhu Ying, but it seems that Lan Yu has completely recognized that Zhu Ying is her nephew, and her attitude in words and deeds is similar to that of Prince Zhu Biao.

There isn't much difference.

Lan Yu is forty-seven years old. She has followed Chang Yuchun into the military camp since she was a child. It has been thirty years now. No matter what, she has met many people.

The moment he saw Zhu Ying and knew Zhu Ying's identity, Lan Yu already realized that this would be his hope for the future.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of a top Ming general.

So Lan Yu didn't think about the authenticity of Zhu Ying's identity. He had already been approved by His Majesty. Why should he think about it? Besides, based on his appearance, he was the heir of Prince Zhu Biao.

Lan Yu's most urgent need now is to get Zhu Ying's recognition, so at Jinyiwei Yamen, she did not hesitate to invite Zhu Ying to Chang Mansion.

Currently, apart from Your Majesty, the only elder who is closest to Zhu Ying in terms of blood is his sister Lan.

Zhu Ying took a deep look at Lan Yu, and then asked: "Is Dongchang Mintian still in my uncle's hands now?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel a flash of embarrassment on her face, and could only say in a nonchalant voice: "Still here."

After all, occupying civilian land is not a glorious thing.

Zhu Ying nodded, not surprised by this, and said directly: "Tomorrow morning, my uncle will apologize to Your Majesty, and at the same time ask the censor to review the adopted sons under his command."

Hearing this, Lan Yu was a little reluctant to give up, but she did not go against Zhu Ying's intention and said seriously: "I will obey His Highness's instructions in everything."

Lan Yu was already extremely worried about her future, and now that her nephew was giving her advice, she naturally followed orders.

Even if he has removed all military power now, as long as Zhu Ying supports him, he is not afraid that he will never be in charge of the army again.

Chang Sheng was just like a wooden man, sitting next to him and listening to the conversation between Zhu Ying and Lan Yu.

During this period, I didn't even dare to take a breath.

Although he inherited the title of his father Chang Yuchun, because he was the second son, he was not familiar with the generals in the army. In the past, he was always dominated by the eldest brother.

Of course, he also knows military affairs. In terms of fighting, he is certainly far behind some famous generals, but compared to other generals in the army, he is still pretty good.

I once went out to train troops under orders.

The current conversation between Zhu Ying and Lan Yu is obviously related to the future changes in military power, which can be regarded as a first-class confidential matter.

It was at this time that Ye Yueqing helped Lan and walked over.

"Dinner is ready, Xiongying, come and try grandma's cooking." Lan said with a smile.

"Okay."

Zhu Ying stood up and looked around, only to see that Ye Yueqing and Lan had become extremely close after a short period of getting along, and she didn't know what happened.

Ye Yueqing looked at Zhu Ying with a hint of shyness, not daring to look directly at her.

In the dining room, as soon as I entered, waves of fresh fragrance hit me, and slowly a large table of dishes appeared in all colors.

It can be seen that a lot of thought was obviously spent on it, and I am afraid that the entire Changfu cooks have started to move.

It was when Zhu Ying took her seat and prepared to eat.

Daming Palace, Chunhe Hall.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen was sitting alone in the yard, staring blankly at the setting sun.

He felt that his life, like the sunset, was constantly falling.

After the morning meeting, the silence of his cousin Li Jinglong and his husband Huang Zicheng made him understand that now, no matter from any angle, he could not fight against his elder brother.

But, can't he just accept his fate like this?

How can he be willing to do this?

In fact, some treacherous and even crazy ideas flashed through his mind.

If the emperor's grandfather suddenly dies of a serious illness and my eldest brother has not yet entered the palace, the throne will only fall on my head.

Zhu Yunwen's face flashed with ferocity.

But it soon dissipated. It was just a delusion, and even Zhu Yunwen had some self-blame and guilt on his face.

Zhu Yunwen, who has been deeply cultivated by Confucian education since childhood, still has no big problems in thinking.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yunwen thought to himself: It couldn't be the emperor's grandfather, or it would be best if the eldest brother died suddenly.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen didn't even realize that in his heart, he already recognized his elder brother's existence.

Perhaps it was also influenced by the rumors about Xiaoling.

After a day of random thinking, Zhu Yunwen felt exhausted. At this time, he felt that he had no help.

My trusted cousin and my dependent husband were already like this, so what else could he do?

"Your Highness, the empress said it's time for dinner." A palace maid bowed her head and said to Zhu Yunwen.

"I have no appetite and can't eat." Zhu Yunwen said impatiently.

How can Zhu Yunwen be in the mood to eat now?

"This..." The palace maid was a little at a loss. If she went back like this, she would be scolded.

"I said I couldn't eat, couldn't you hear me?" Zhu Yunwen saw that the palace maid had not left, and then he yelled loudly.

He was extremely depressed, as if he had found an outlet.

His Royal Highness Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, was usually elegant and easy-going. When the palace maid saw such an angry look, she was immediately frightened back several steps, then bowed and left.

Seeing the palace maid leave, Zhu Yunwen stopped and continued to lie in the yard with some frustration, staring blankly at the setting sun in the west.

The setting sun at this moment was no longer dazzling, Zhu Yunwen just looked at it, slowly falling.

"Didn't I say that if I don't eat, you just want to get slapped!"

"Mom! Why are you here?"

Not long after, Zhu Yunwen heard footsteps coming from behind him. He thought it was the palace maid returning, so he subconsciously yelled loudly. However, when he turned around and looked, it was his mother-in-law coming.

The palace maid followed Lu, and when she heard the scolding, she couldn't help but tremble and became a little scared.

Lu is very beautiful and has a graceful figure, but from her appearance, she is only about 20 years old. It is completely impossible to tell that she has given birth to six children.
