Cining Palace.

Zhu Changshen asked his grandmother in a silence: "Grandmother, why is my younger brother the prince but I am not? Am I not as smart as him?"

This is the first time Zhu Changshen asked this question.

Now his speech is very clever.

But for Empress Dowager Li, this is a very difficult question to answer.

Although she had thought about it more than once, even if she was as delicate as her, she would not know how to answer when asked in person.

What should I say?

I want to tell Zhu Changshen that although he was born earlier than Zhu Changxun, because his mother is no longer there and for safety reasons, can't he be made the crown prince?

A safe issue...

Can a child who is less than three years old understand? Even if he understands, Empress Dowager Li doesn't want to say it at this time.

They are all descendants of the royal family, so she doesn't want to tell them about the struggle for power and profit at such a young age.

Because her two precious sons Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili are living examples.

The final result... She didn't want to see her grandson quarrel over the throne again, and for whatever reason, it had to be avoided.

Therefore, she didn't want to talk to her grandson about any issues related to the throne and the throne. She just hopes that her grandson will grow up healthily and happily.

However, she knew that this was an unavoidable question. As her grandson grew up, she would definitely ask this question, just like Zhu Changluo asked his father why he was not in the Forbidden City that day.

Zhu Changxun called Zhu Changshen “Brother”, why is this brother not the prince but the younger brother?

If you become sensible, it is easier to explain, because maybe he understands the truth without explaining it.

But it is hard to explain when I was young and ignorant. Of course, it is not difficult to explain. It is just that Empress Dowager Li doesn't want to instill such ideas in her children.

"You are all good children of your father." Empress Dowager Li replied.

"But grandmother, the prince is different from the prince. I know that the prince will be the emperor in the future, not the prince's prince will leave here in the future, right grandmother?" Zhu Changshen pouted.

"Chang Shen is so smart!"

"Grandmother, why isn't the prince not me but my younger brother? Is it because my mother passed away early and my younger brother's mother is still there?"

"Chang Shen, who said this to you?" Empress Dowager Li suddenly asked seriously.

"Grandma, no one told me that I thought it was myself." Zhu Changshen replied.

"Chang Shen is so smart." Empress Dowager Li praised again, and then asked, "Is it okay to be the prince?"

"The prince will be the emperor in the future and will be the best in the world, of course," Zhu Changshen replied without any concealment.

"But being an emperor is very tiring. If you don't believe me, ask your father."

"Grandma, what's tired?"

"It's just that my body is hollowed out, it's boring, I don't have fighting spirit, and I'm bored." No matter how good the Queen Mother Li is, I feel that I can't explain the word "tired" in front of my grandson.

"Did my grandmother say that my dad is very tired?"

"Um."

"But why don't I know? Dad is very happy every day and smiles every day."

"That's because Chang Shen is still young and doesn't understand what the happiness of adults is. Adults don't smile like children only when they are happy..."

The Queen Mother Li couldn't explain it even though she gave an explanation as if she was pretty good, but she felt that at Zhu Changshen's age, she might not understand it.

Fortunately, it seems that the question of "Prince" seems to be skipping, which makes Empress Dowager Li not have much pressure to answer.

Zhu Changshen asked in a silly voice: "Grandma, isn't laughing just to be happy?"

"When Changshen grows up, you will know that in the adult world, laughter has many meanings, which does not necessarily mean happiness." Empress Dowager Li tried her best to explain to Zhu Changshen. As for whether she could understand, she couldn't care about it for the time being.

"Oh." Zhu Changshen had no choice but to nod, and suddenly said, "Grandmother, if Mom is alive, will Dad let me be the prince?"

"Chang Shen, listen to grandmother's words, it's hard to be the prince, don't think about it, okay?"

"Okay, don't ask my grandmother, I'll ask my dad to go another day and ask my dad to give me a reasonable explanation."

"..." Empress Dowager Li was speechless and suddenly felt that it was necessary to communicate with Zhu Yiliu once.

How should I explain it in front of my children?

The next day, Empress Dowager Li decided to communicate with Zhu Yili alone, and the child's affairs were a big deal.

"Yi'er, Chang Shen suddenly asked yesterday why he didn't make him the crown prince and wanted to make his younger brother? He really stopped me, how should I answer?"

Empress Dowager Li straightforwardly.

Zhu Yili couldn't help but stagnate slightly, "This little bastard, why did he ask this?"

"Sooner or later, aren't you going to give him an explanation?"

"When he grows up, he will naturally understand."

"But now we have to give him reasonable guidance. I don't agree with instilling some ideas about establishing a crown prince and fighting for power. First, the child is too young, and second, my mother doesn't want to do this."

"Mom, I tell you my heart. I just said this to him. Not long after, the queen told me about this. Although Chang Xun has been crowned as the crown prince, he may not necessarily inherit the throne in the future. Now Chang Xun is made the crown prince, which is only to ensure the stability of the court. As for inheriting the throne in the future, those who can live there will be the ones who can do it, so it is hard to say now."

"Liang'er means that if Chang Xun's ability is not as good as Chang Shen or Chang Chun in the future, will his status as a prince be lost?" Empress Dowager Li asked hurriedly.

"Um."

"Will it be easier for Li Yier to provoke their disputes?"

"Of course I hope to hand the throne in the hands of a more talented son, which may easily provoke disputes, but this is a manifestation of being responsible for the country and the world. If you are not capable enough and pushed to the throne, isn't that frame the country and frame people?"

"Mom doesn't want to see the battle for seizing the throne again." Empress Dowager Li reminded very seriously, but to be precise, this is not a reminder but a warning.

"The queen and her mother have the same concerns. Please believe that the child will handle it."

"Of course I believe you, so how should I explain this to Chang Shen?"

"He is too young to explain clearly." Zhu Yili shook his head, "Besides, this statement cannot be made public for the time being. The child just closed the door and explained it clearly to his mother. If it spread, it may cause chaos. The child will definitely jump up and oppose the ministers in the court."

"The tradition of having a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate leg

"In any case, the child is sure that the direction of being able to live must be the right one."

Zhu Yiliu was full of confidence, but he hadn't mentioned it at this time. If his sons were worried about their ability, he had thought about whether he wanted to pass the throne to someone with a very capable surnamed Zhu?

Of course, this idea is a bit "rebellious". Zhu Yiliu felt that it needed to take one step at a time, and he should not be too hasty.

In his eyes, the Ming Dynasty was not the world of the Zhu family, but the world of the people of the world. Since that is the case, why did the emperor have to be named Zhu?
