Chapter 255: Grandson, are you ready?(1/2)

Hongwu twenty-five years, September 12th.

In the original history, this day belonged to Zhu Yunwen.

Because it was on this day, based on the auspicious zodiac provided by Jiqin Tianjian, that Zhu Yunwen was officially canonized as the grandson.

This was also decided by Zhu Yuanzhang himself in the early morning court two months ago when many vassal princes were present.

"Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable."

In Chunhe Palace, before dawn, Zhu Yunwen got up early and sat alone in the backyard of Chunhe Palace.

The candlelight beside him brought light, he dismissed the maids and eunuchs, and sat quietly alone.

Zhu Yunwen now has mixed feelings. No matter how he avoids it, time will always move forward.

In the past, he had been looking forward to this day.

Later, he always wanted to escape this day.

Last night, Zhu Yunwen tossed and turned and stayed awake all night. No matter what, this day finally came.

This also means that starting from this morning, the position of grandson will be completely gone from him.

unwilling to give in,

But so what, in the past two months, whether it was Huang Zicheng who had been his military advisor, Li Jinglong whom he admired, or his mother.

They kept telling him that with the appearance of his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying, he had no room to resist.

Everyone who knew about this was trying to persuade him not to confront his eldest brother, because he was Grandpa Huang's favorite grandson.

It's only been two months.

Ever since my father passed away, such a big brother suddenly appeared.

With such an unknown eldest brother, everyone began to trust him, thinking that he was the eldest brother who had been dead for ten years.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

Just because they are about the same age and look similar, we can identify them directly.

But I think of my eldest brother’s face and his temperament that is similar to that of his father.

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and muttered: "It seems to be really similar."

"But, so what, those were civil and military officials, the emperor's grandfather, and the kings, who saw the burial with their own eyes."

"Climbing out of the grave, is it possible? Is it possible!"

"Those humerus ministers knew about it. Under the shock of Grandpa Huang, they didn't even dare to question. Duke Liang even directly believed that he was the eldest brother. Why?"

"But why does the eldest brother still have such temperament and wisdom after being homeless for ten years?"

"It took an eight-year-old child ten years to build such a large chamber of commerce in such a bitter and cold place outside the Ming Dynasty."

"Could it be that eldest brother really inherited all the advantages of Grandpa Huang and his father?"

"Brother, are you sent by God to stop me?"

Zhu Yunwen talked to himself like this for most of an hour, asking and answering questions.

Until, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

Just by hearing the voice, he knew it was his mother.

"Silly boy, it's already today, but you still can't let go." Mrs. Lu came over and gently touched Zhu Yunwen's forehead. There were still some light water stains on it, which were the dew in the morning.

Zhu Yunwen heard the words and looked at the light gradually rising in the sky. After a long time, he slowly said: "If I can't let go, what can I do? Mom, do I have any other choices now?"

Mrs. Lu's lips trembled for a long time, but she finally said nothing more. She sighed softly and held Zhu Yunwen in her arms.

...

Following the door, the five princes also got up early.

"Today is a big day. All the brothers got up very early." The eighteenth prince Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

The sixteenth prince Zhu Zhan said: "Nonsense, let's not see what the situation is like today. Today's morning court is probably going to be very lively."

"It's our nephew Yun Wen. I'm afraid he doesn't feel very comfortable. He has been looking forward to this day before, but today, he must feel extremely uncomfortable."

"To be honest, if it were me, it would be very uncomfortable. We have already decided on the grandson's position in the court meeting. Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway. The grandson's position was inexplicably cut off.

Already."

"There really is nothing we can do. Look, after His Highness Changsun entered the palace, did nephew Yunwen make any movement at all?"

"But it's normal if there is no movement. It would be strange if there is movement. With my father watching from above, no one dares to have any objections these days."

"By the way, have you seen that His Highness Changsun is in the court now, and there are many ministers who know about it. It can be seen that some of them have raised any objections."

"After all, His Highness Changsun was buried under the watch of many people. Now that he suddenly appears, everyone must be suspicious for a while."

"Those imperial censors are usually full of integrity, but at this juncture, they are silent at all. They are all as shrewd as old foxes."

"So, brothers, let's not underestimate those civil servants, they are very smart."

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement thoughtfully.

Although the princes are not very old, they look more than ten years old, but since they were born into the royal family, they are naturally very different in all aspects.

According to usual practice, basically when you are about fifteen or sixteen years old, you will leave the capital and become the feudal king.

In terms of growth and wisdom, it is simply not comparable to ordinary people.

The teacher who taught them was the most outstanding scholar in the entire Ming Dynasty.

You know, even those who can leave a simple mark in history are all great figures.

Among the four princes who listened to the Sixteenth Prince, only Zhu Quan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Sixteen, it's best not to say these words in front of others. It doesn't matter to me and my brothers."

"If someone with a heart hears it and spreads it to His Highness Changsun, I'm afraid it won't be a good impression."

"Maybe my father will punish him personally."

After a slight hesitation, he decided to persuade his sixteenth brother Zhu Zhan, who had no scruples or worries about what he said.

After all, among several princes of about the same age, Zhu Zhuan's character is still very bold and generous, which also makes him feel good in Zhu Quan's heart.

Perhaps Zhu Zhuan thought that he was the oldest among the five princes, and he would always help his younger brothers if anything happened.

It's just that when it comes to speaking, it's a bit too direct.

Hearing Zhu Quan's words, Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, seventeenth brother, I can save these things. Besides, I only said these words in front of you brothers. They are all my brothers, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhu Zhuan obviously didn't care about this, and Zhu Quan didn't continue when he saw this.

Maybe there are some things that you can only pay attention to after you have suffered a loss.

"Alright, brothers, let's not say any more. It will be very lively in the morning. I can't wait to see the majesty of His Highness Changsun."

"Let's go."

Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

Even though I said this, I still felt a little guilty in my heart. At this last moment, I quickly said a few kind words about His Highness Changsun to make up for it.

...

The capital city today is particularly lively.

This excitement is found in the most prosperous area in the entire capital, the streets near the Qinhuai River.

Because since three days ago, many high-end places, whether they are restaurants, teahouses, silk shops, jewelry shops, rice shops and many other large places.

We will start publicity throughout the capital early and will conduct an event with great discounts and rewards.

The term "preferential and large rewards" is somewhat novel to the people of Ming Dynasty today.

However, as the name suggests, you can still guess a bit of its meaning.

Then a specialized person explained that on September 12th, anyone who purchases anything in the store can enjoy a 20% discount.

This kind of activity is completely unprecedented in Lungu.

To use the simplest analogy, a product that originally cost 100 guan banknotes would only cost 80 guan banknotes if purchased today.

A full 20% less.

This phenomenon is enough to make the people of the entire capital go crazy.

Who knew that after passing through this village, there would still be a shop like this?

This event includes all aspects of people’s livelihood, including daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

This also led to a situation where all the people began to mobilize.

The so-called empty streets are nothing more than that.

People started queuing up in front of various stores in the early morning, because merchants had already announced that this event would be limited.

Not only the personal limit, but also the stock limit. If you wait late, you may not be able to buy it.

In front of Ping'an Tea House, Uncle Zhang stood at the door, looking at the empty tea house, and sighed: "This is the first time that our tea house's business is so quiet."
