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

Chapter 117 Lady Lü is reprimanded

"Auntie, that's not right. I'm Yunwen's older brother. If my younger brother makes a mistake, it's not a big deal for an older brother to help correct it. Besides, Yunwen is still young, and every day some random people give him random things to do, which is why he's become like this!"

“Aunt, the instruction from the teachers in the main hall is already sufficient. Why bother finding someone else to teach him from elsewhere!”

Lady Lü nodded repeatedly, but she still felt extremely aggrieved.

This guy actually dared to talk to me like that, it's simply outrageous!

"Xiongying, I heard that you have the twelfth prince, Zhu Bai, assisting Mr. Liu Sanwu in handling affairs at the Hall of Diligent Governance?"

"You see, teaching is the same whether you teach alone or with someone else, so why don't you let Yunwen teach with you?"

"After all, you're brothers. When you finally reach that position, you'll have someone to help you!"

"After all, the twelfth prince will be cooking in another place, unlike you brothers who have such a good relationship!"

"Don't worry, I've already warned Yunwen that he'll only be learning from the sidelines and I absolutely won't let him say a word!"

Zhu Xiong Ying was somewhat annoyed; this Lu woman dared to push her luck.

It was already a great favor that I was able to let him play, and this guy actually wanted to let Zhu Yunwen enter the Hall of Diligent Governance.

The Qinzheng Shop handles all important national affairs, and some things there cannot be disclosed.

It is only because the Second Prince Zhu Bai and Liu Sanwu have not been too involved with the interests of any party that they were able to say such a thing.

He knew very well what Zhu Yunwen was like, and if he knew certain things, it would probably cause trouble.

“Aunt, I have no objection to going to the court to listen to the government affairs. After all, Yunwen and I are brothers, and it is good to help him out. However, the Hall of Diligent Governance is the foundation of the country. All the most important authors will be published in this place. It is really not suitable for others to come here!”

"Although Uncle Twelfth is young, he already has a great deal of knowledge about court affairs, and he is also quite capable of handling problems, so nothing will go wrong. It might not be the same for others!"

Lady Lü pleaded with a smile, but inwardly she was already furious.

In his opinion, his own Yunwen was the most outstanding.

The twelfth prince, Zhu Bai, was just an ordinary prince, destined to become a vassal king. His son, Jia Yunwen, on the other hand, was destined to become emperor, far more outstanding than Zhu Bai.

Just as Lady Lü was pondering how to resolve the matter, a voice suddenly came from outside.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that it was Yu'er, a palace maid serving Empress Ma.

Zhu Xiong Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu'er arrive. Lu Shi was also a little worried. Why was someone from the Empress's side here? Did the Empress have some other ideas? Just then, Yu'er came into the crowd and bowed to Zhu Xiong Ying.

"Issue the Empress's decree!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became serious.

"The imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen is weak-willed and ignorant of politics. He has disgraced the imperial family in court, which is truly regrettable!"

"Therefore, from this day forward, this person shall not attend court again. He shall first complete his studies in the main hall, depending on the circumstances of his studies, and there shall be no error in this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Lü's face turned deathly pale. It was all over; the news of Zhu Yunwen's affair had actually reached the Empress's ears.

With the Empress's words, the chances of Zhu Yunwen ascending to this position in the future have been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of panic and her face was filled with resentment.

This Empress Ma is truly hateful. When Lady Chang was still alive, she only had eyes for that wretched woman. Now, she still doesn't respect them, which is truly despicable.

But now that the Emperor and the Crown Prince are both absent, Empress Ma is the most powerful woman. No matter what, they dare not disobey Empress Ma's orders.

Zhu Xiong Ying was overjoyed.

"I will obey the Queen Mother's decree!"

I am indeed not suited to handle this matter, but my grandmother is different.

So after getting out of bed, I sent someone to tell my grandmother about it, and I never expected it to have such an effect.

"Aunt, the Empress Dowager has given me orders, so I have no choice but to do it!"

"Should I ask the Empress Dowager for help, or should I write a letter to the Emperor and Father to ask them to give Yunwen a chance?"

Lady Lü knew very well that Zhu Xiong Ying's personality made it absolutely impossible for him to plead for Yunwen. What would this letter contain? If it embellished the events in the court and made them unfavorable to Yunwen, then...

Thinking of this, he sighed. It seemed he needed to take a more cautious approach in the future.

"Xiongying, don't be angry. It's just that your brother wasn't fortunate enough to have this. It seems your brother is better off staying peacefully in the main hall!"

"But please rest assured, Xiong Ying, your aunt will definitely do everything she can to educate Yunwen well, so that he can assist you properly and become a good feudal lord!"

Zhu Xiong Ying patted his chest and said.

"In that case, thank you very much, Aunt. Please rest assured, I will personally choose a good fiefdom for my brother Yunwen!"

Lu smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Zhu Xiong Ying sneered inwardly. Just because it blossomed like this, she would definitely choose a good fiefdom for him in the future. She had heard that some places in the southwest were full of miasma and dense rainforests.

It could be an endless desert or Gobi to the west, or a small island in the ocean, either would be nice.

At this moment, Hu Weiyong returned to his residence, feeling as if all his strength had been drained. He sat blankly in his study without saying a word.

He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Zhu Xiong Ying is truly hateful; he remains indifferent to his own actions.

If this murder case is of great importance, and if a lot of money is really spent on its trial...

The gentry of the world were slaughtered in droves.

Even if I become the real prime minister, I'm afraid I won't hold power for long.

However, if I don't do as Zhu Xiong Ying says, I'm afraid I'll remain in my current nominal position and won't get any further advancement.

Although everyone outside referred to him as the acting prime minister of the Secretariat, this position did not actually exist.

In addition, his position as the central advisor on political affairs was also taken away.

He truly has nothing now.

At this moment, he was reflecting on what had happened in the court. Now, this was even sent by express courier, and even His Majesty probably didn't know what had happened in the court today.

Even so, Zhu Xiong Ying captured Li Shan Chang, and Zhu Yuan Zhang did not suffer any consequences.

They also gave him a lot of help, which does sound really strange.
