The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 115 Eating, Sleeping, and Beating Up His Younger Brother

The ministers in the court were not fools; seeing Zhu Yunwen like this, they couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Yunwen's ability to come to this court and his good relationship with these civil officials suggests that he may also be planning to take that position.

Unfortunately, the difference between the two imperial grandsons is not small, and any normal person knows which one should be chosen.

Lan Yu, standing to the side, said in a sarcastic tone.

"How could someone with such a coward be His Majesty's grandson? It's a disgrace! If he were my grandson, he would have fallen to his death long ago!"

"Back in my day, when I was this age, I dared to kill people. This kid is far inferior to me, and compared to the Grandson, he's worlds apart!"

Fu Youde, who was watching the spectacle with amusement, also spoke with a look of disdain.

"That's right, the age difference between Prince Yunwen and His Highness the Crown Prince isn't that much. The difference between them is like comparing a cornbread bun to a steamed bun. Uh, that's exactly what they said!"

A thunderous burst of laughter erupted from the group of military officers, the jeers echoing endlessly.

The civil officials were filled with regret. They hadn't known that Zhu Yunwen was such a useless person at first. If they had known, they wouldn't have spoken up to help him. If His Highness the Crown Prince had misunderstood, it would have been troublesome.

The one who regretted it the most was Lü Ben. If he had known that these things would happen today, he wouldn't have let Zhu Yunwen come.

Zhu Yunwen gained nothing from coming to the court; instead, he attracted a lot of trouble.

Once this matter gets out, his standing in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes will decrease significantly, and his chances of ascending to that position in the future will be reduced.

The civil officials in the imperial court scoffed at this.

Just as Lü Ben's mind was racing, pondering how to handle the situation.

Suddenly, everyone smelled a strange odor; a foul smell permeated the entire hall.

Fu Youde hurriedly plugged his nose and angrily cursed.

"Which scoundrel dared to urinate and defecate in the imperial court?"

Only then did everyone realize what the smell was, and then they looked in the direction of the smell.

They discovered that the place where they had appeared was in the direction of the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen blushed and lowered his head, tightly covering the hem of his dress.

This garment was made by his mother herself. The embroidered pattern on it appears to be of ordinary imperial grandson's standard, but it is subtly very similar to Zhu Xiong Ying's.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that Zhu Yunwen had actually wet his pants in such a solemn and dignified place.

Everyone instinctively kept their distance from him.

Zhu Xiong Ying walked forward step by step until he reached Lü Ben and Zhu Yunwen. Lü Ben looked at Zhu Xiong Ying and his expression changed drastically. He pleaded with her.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince Yunwen is still young, just a child. He is really ignorant. Please forgive him for his young age and because he is your younger brother!"

Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes were icy cold. He didn't care about the Lü family or the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He even dared to touch Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han, let alone a small family like the Lü family in Jiangnan.

"Lord Lü, this is the imperial court."

Above all, there are only ruler and subject, no relatives. Your actions have put me in a rather awkward position!

"Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Ben felt a surge of anger; for scholars, face was the most important thing.

No matter what, he was already an old man in his fifties. Over the years, he had worked hard, even if he hadn't made any great contributions. Moreover, his daughter was the Crown Prince's concubine.

In terms of seniority, Zhu Xiong Ying should also call himself maternal grandfather.

How could they be so disrespectful? Zhu Xiong Ying released a murderous aura.

Suddenly a figure appeared, came to Lu Ben, grabbed Lu Ben by the neck, and slammed him against a pillar.

Everyone was surprised, never expecting that someone would be so bold as to commit violence in the imperial court.

When the court officials took a closer look, they discovered that this was actually a very effeminate man, a nightmare in their eyes: Yu Huatian, the director of the Western Depot.

A hint of mockery flashed clearly in Yu Huatian's phoenix-shaped eyes.

A slight upturn of the corners of his mouth, a smile on his face as he looked at Lü Ben in front of him, though the smile looked somewhat eerie.

"Lord Lü, you have quite the nerve to speak ill of His Highness the Crown Prince? Are you even a subject of the Ming Dynasty anymore?"

"Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is overseeing the country, His Highness's words are His Majesty's words. How dare you block His Highness's path? Do you intend to block His Majesty's path in the future?"

Lu Ben panicked upon hearing this and tried to explain, but his neck was being held tightly, and he couldn't utter a word.

Everyone was furious. How dare Yu Huatian be so audacious as to commit violence in the imperial court!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial Guards back then couldn't have done such a thing.

Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand.

"Alright, Yu Huatian, Lord Lü is not young anymore, and he is considered an elder in the court. I believe he has realized his mistake by now. Let's give him some face!"

Yu Huatian nodded upon hearing this.

He grabbed Lü Ben by the neck and threw him to the side, where he slammed heavily to the ground.

Then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, as if he were very disgusted, and then he flashed back behind the dragon throne.

The military officers in the imperial court all had some martial arts skills.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Yu Huatian's abilities.

I never imagined that the person beside His Highness the Crown Prince would possess such formidable abilities.

It's surprising that we hadn't discovered such a person before. He would definitely be a rare talent on the battlefield, but unfortunately he ended up in the palace.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Da's eyes.

He knew that the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying had his own force, but he didn't know the extent of that force's strength.

How could a mere subject like him concern himself with matters of the royal family?

However, this sudden move reveals the whole picture from a glimpse. The force under Zhu Xiong Ying's command is definitely not weak. Yu Huatian alone has such abilities. A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command, so it is estimated that the people under his command are not weak either.

Zhu Xiong Ying walked forward quietly until she reached Zhu Yun Wen.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was still crawling on the ground. When he saw Zhu Xiong Ying coming in his direction, he was so frightened that he crawled in another direction.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, he lay there blankly, his face pale and his eyes filled with terror as he spoke.

"Brother, elder brother, His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Yunwen knows he was wrong, Yunwen will never talk nonsense again, please let Yunwen go!"

Zhu Xiong Ying arrested Zhu Yun Wen without allowing him any resistance.

The court officials were getting anxious and were about to say something when they heard a clear, crisp sound.
