In his previous life, Zhu Yunxuan had read many novels and films about time travel.

After ordinary people traveled to the Ming Dynasty, they could easily manipulate the emperor.

Whatever the protagonist says, the emperor does.

Living like a god.

But after actually dealing with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxuan realized that those novels were all nonsense.

Not to mention others, who is Zhu Yuanzhang?

To be able to step from a begging monk to become the king of a country, his shrewdness far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

And, unlike most emperors in history.

Zhu Yuanzhang climbed up step by step from the real grassroots, and he saw more human nature.

With Lao Zhu's shrewdness, the mentally retarded protagonists in the novel probably wouldn't survive three days.

Even if you rely on your status as a prince to save your life, it will probably not end well.

Because Lao Zhu is too good.

Others have 800 thoughts, but Lao Zhu probably has more than 80,000.

Not to mention playing with the palm of their hand, their little thoughts and tricks are not worthy of carrying Lao Zhu's shoes.

In just a short moment of contact, he had already quietly tested Zhu Yunzhen several times.

If he hadn't been prepared, he might have been timid long ago.

Zhu Yunxuan also knew that it was not only Zhu Yuanzhang who was so shrewd, but also the people around him, including his cheap uncles, all of them were extremely shrewd.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunxi still has two advantages.

First, he is young and can speak like a child. Most people will not pay too much attention to a child.

I never imagined how complex a child could be.

The second is that his status is not bad. As Zhu Biao's son, Lao Zhu will definitely love him very much.

If nothing else, at least for the time being, safety is guaranteed.

Next, we have to take one step at a time and slowly start to change.

……

……

Time flies, and forty-nine days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The final seven days have passed.

Zhu Biao’s funeral is finally over.

Zhu Yunxuan is going to study in the palace.

During these days, he was quiet and behaved almost like an ordinary child.

Early that morning, the weather was refreshing, and Zhu Yunwen was wandering alone in the yard when he was called over by his mother, Lu, and his second brother, Zhu Yunwen.

When Zhu Yunwen came to the room, Lu and Zhu Yunwen were sitting there.

"Xi'er, you're here." Ms. Lu smiled at Zhu Yunxu.

Zhu Yunwen also smiled and said: "Fourth brother."

Zhu Yunwen is fifteen years old this year and is quite handsome.

Wherever you go, you will be a handsome young man.

But there is always a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"Mother, second brother." After saying hello, Zhu Yunzhen sat aside.

He knew that Mr. Lu had come to him for something, and that 80% success was related to Zhu Yunwen.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxuan was the first to ask: "Mom, why did you call me over so early in the morning?"

Mrs. Lu first brought some cakes to Zhu Yunxuan and asked with concern: "Have you eaten anything yet?"

"Thank you, mother." Zhu Yunxuan picked up a piece of pastry and ate it by himself.

Madam Lu then sat next to Zhu Yunxi and asked softly: "Zhu Yunxi, are you going to study in the palace in the next two days?"

Sure enough!

Zhu Yunzhen secretly thought that he guessed it right.

Lu was trying to insinuate Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas.

After all, the crown prince has not yet been established.

"Yes." Zhu Yunxuan said with a smile while eating cakes: "Grandpa Huang said not long ago that after I was busy with the funeral, I would prepare and go to the palace to study with him."

Lu said: "Did Grandpa Huang tell you anything?"

Zhu Yunzhen saw that Lu's face seemed to be full of expectation.

He remained calm, pretended to think about it, and said, "Apart from reading, I didn't seem to talk about anything else."

The expression on Lu's face changed several times, and finally she said: "Xi'er, Mom came to you this time, and I still hope you can help your second brother to talk. After all, you and Grandpa Huang will see each other often in the future."

Zhu Yunzhen's heart moved, but he didn't answer.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen also stepped forward and persuaded: "Fourth brother, please say a few good words to the second brother."

Zhu Yunzhen’s reason: "This..."

"Hey," Mrs. Lu said, "Now that your father has passed away, leaving our mother and son in this world, our mother and son need to be united even more, right?"

"You are still young and there are some things you don't understand."

"None of your uncles are easy to deal with. Your second uncle was beaten by your father not long ago, so he will definitely hold a grudge."

"Where is your fourth uncle? Although he usually treats us mother and son well, now that your father is gone, people's hearts will always change."

"Although your second brother is a brother to you, he is a half-mother, not a mother."

"If one of them succeeds to the throne, our mother-in-law will not end well, what do you think, Fu'er?"

Zhu Yunwen also came over and said: "Fourth brother, we are from the same mother and father. Blood is thicker than water. You must help me."

"When Grandpa Huang asks you next time, you will say that your second brother is the most suitable to be the prince, and now he is only..."

"Wen'er!" Mrs. Lu scolded quickly, and Zhu Yunwen closed his mouth.

Zhu Yunxuan was secretly surprised.

He has heard the implication.

There was obviously no one else in the room that day when he was talking to Zhu Yuanzhang.

How did Zhu Yunwen know what Zhu Yuanzhang asked him?

Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not say, could it be that the walls have ears?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but feel a chill in his body.

He looked at his mother and second brother and said in surprise: "Mom, when I was talking to Grandpa Huang that day, you..."

Mrs. Lu sighed and touched Zhu Yunzhen's hair distressedly.

"Xi'er, Mom did let people eavesdrop on her, but that was a helpless move. You are still young, and Mom is afraid that you said something wrong and made your grandpa angry. Don't forget to hate Mom."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded.

This is understandable, after all, Lu is a mother.

He didn't say anything else.

Zhu Yunxuan felt that it might be a good thing for Lu to offend Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way, maybe Lao Zhu would not make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince, and the Jingnan War might not happen.

As for eavesdropping, it doesn’t matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and would not kill his son or grandson.

He values ​​family ties very much and dotes on his descendants very much.

Even if you are offended, you will only be punished a little.

If he hadn't planned to make Zhu Di the crown prince, he wouldn't have had to worry so much in front of Lao Zhu.

That's the big deal.

Thinking of this, he tentatively asked Zhu Yunzhen: "Second brother, the position of prince is a hot potato, otherwise we won't fight for it?"

"How can that work!" Zhu Yunwen immediately denied it.

Then his tone softened again and he said: "Fourth brother, you are still young, you don't understand at all. If the second brother doesn't fight, we, mother and son, will never have a good life in the future!"

"Yes, So'er." Mrs. Lu also said, "When you grow up, you will understand that my mother's choice is definitely not wrong."

Zhu Yunxuan thought to himself: "The choice is right, but the person is wrong."
