Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 64 An unexpected situation!
Naturally, Old Zhu's voice was not loud at this time.

But what was said was too important.

When it reached the ears of all the civil and military officials in the hall, it was like a loud thunderclap!
Your Majesty, has you made the decision to make Zhu Yunhuan the crown prince?
Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Zhu Di closed his eyes with a painful expression and clenched his fists unconsciously.

He didn't want to see it, let alone hear it.

Prince Jin's expression froze for a moment, then became extremely complicated.

Hatred and murderous intent flashed across the eyes of the King of Qin.

Now that his eldest brother is dead, he is the eldest son.

Brothers eventually become brothers.

Why can't I be made the crown prince?
But I want to establish a grandson!
Since ancient times, has there been any logic in skipping a son and making a grandson the crown prince?
He hates it!
Lan Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, almost thought that he had heard it wrongly.

Can't believe it.

After realizing it was true, joy filled my whole body, but I forced myself to suppress it and tried my best to remain calm.

Unlike Lan Yu who was kneeling, Chang Sheng, who was standing in the crowd, could not hide the joy on his face no matter what.

If he was not still in the Golden Palace, and His Majesty and King Wu were still crying in grief, he would have jumped up and sang loudly for joy!
Chang Sheng has now made up his mind.

After returning home from court, he would have to hold a banquet for three days and three nights.

No, it was a banquet lasting ten days and ten nights to celebrate his nephew becoming the crown prince.

You know, when Zhu Yunhuan ascended the throne and became emperor, he would be the true uncle of the emperor!

These days will become more and more prosperous, more and more comfortable, and make my father in heaven smile with joy.

Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng looked at each other. Both of them felt their hands and feet getting cold, and their hearts were completely shrouded in disappointment and fear.

After planning for so long, it was all in vain.

Before, I was thinking of asking Your Majesty to take away Zhu Yunhuan’s sword and reduce his power.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Old Zhu was going to entrust the country to him!
Do not!
I will never accept this!

How can we give up just like that?

It's not just the two of them.

Many of the civil servants present were unwilling to accept this.

Prince Xian Zhu Yunwen was always courteous to the wise and humble, well-read in Confucian classics, and polite in his behavior, which was very much to the liking of these civil servants.

If Zhu Yunhuan, this rude and impolite fellow, were to become the crown prince and inherit the throne, then...

The civil servants all felt that it was dark and their hopes were dashed!
but.

At this time, no one dared to speak.

The King of Wu is still crying, and His Majesty the Emperor is still personally comforting him.

At this time, he suggested that the King of Wu should not be made the crown prince. Was he thinking that he was too stubborn, or that Zhu Yuanzhang's sword was not sharp enough?

They could only stand by and wait quietly, watching obediently.

Nothing can be done.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunhuan did not stop crying, but cried even more sadly.

"Grandpa Emperor, I don't want it!"

"I don't want the Ming Dynasty... I don't want it. I just want my father to come back alive!"

"Woooooooo..."

"I only want Daddy! I only want Daddy!"

"Woooooooo..."

Old Zhu also burst into tears, heartbroken, and hugged him again and said, "That won't do. Your father is gone, and it is your responsibility to shoulder the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty."

"Only in this way, your father in heaven will not be disappointed and will be happy when he sees you."

"You are a good kid, you must cheer up."

Zhu Yunhuan cried for a long time before he slowly stopped after being persuaded by Old Zhu.

"Grandpa Emperor, can I shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the Ming Dynasty?"

His eyes were red and swollen.

This look is as sad as it can be.

She was still sobbing as she spoke.

Zhu Yunhuan even admired his own acting skills.

It turns out that human emotions can really be faked as long as they are carefully cultivated!

As long as you immerse yourself in the role, you can act truly!
"Yes, definitely!" Old Zhu said, "The poems and articles you write are better than those of many well-educated people."

"You are so young, but you know that every meal is hard-earned, so you should cherish it."

"You invented the drum mimeograph machine, which has benefited millions of readers all over the world. Your merits are immeasurable."

"You dared to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen alone, lead the Jinyiwei to raid the Duke of Liang's mansion, and arrest the famous general of the Ming Dynasty."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that you are well-educated, smart, and sympathetic to the suffering of the people. You are also bold and decisive, and you can do things that ordinary people dare not do."

"You will definitely become a wise ruler in the future!"

Zhu Yunhuan silently held Old Zhu's hand and said nothing more.

Old Zhu held his hand, then turned around and looked at the ministers, his eyes fixed on Lan Yu.

"Duke Lanyu of Liang has fought for his country for many years and has made great achievements."

"Even if there are minor faults, it is human nature." "Being loyal and not losing the big principles is commendable."

"He obeyed the emperor's orders carefully, did not take credit for himself, and was willing to take the initiative to apologize. He is a role model for all ministers."

"From now on, the Duke of Liang will be promoted to Duke of Liang, and a reward of one million yuan will be given!"

In the hall, all the ministers were stunned.

Are the things that Lan Yu did just revealed like this?

No further investigation?

More importantly, Lan Yu had just publicly admitted that he had ambitions to help Zhu Yunhuan seize the Ming Dynasty. This was extremely treasonous!

His Majesty the Emperor not only did not punish him, but also rewarded him. This... this...

The ministers were all stunned!
Is this really your Majesty's will?
Did I hear it wrongly?
At this time, Lan Yu was so happy that he couldn't help himself.

From being captured by Zhu Yunhuan yesterday to going to court today, the best outcome he could think of was to keep his head.

No matter what, you can't escape the fate of being demoted and punished.

That couldn’t be a better result!
After all, the civil servants will not let him off easily.

Those princes and grandsons of the emperor who want to compete with Zhu Yunhuan for the position of crown prince will not let him go.

In this situation, the whole court is the enemy!
Those who usually hate and fear him will also stand up and take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Moreover, Lao Zhu really wanted to take action against him.

His existence is a threat to imperial power.

It cannot threaten Zhu Yuanzhang now, but it may threaten the successor of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, Lao Zhu wants to get rid of him!

Clear the way for those who come later.

Although Zhu Yunhuan took the initiative to send the Jinyiwei to capture him, he did it so swiftly that those people were caught off guard.

But no matter how you calculate it, I'm afraid you'll have to pay a hefty price this time.

Handing over the military power and escaping unscathed is already a blessing from God.

I never expected that in the end not only was he not guilty, but he was also meritorious and was rewarded!
Originally Zhu was going to confer the title of Duke of Liang on him, but because of some wrong things he did, the word "Liang" was changed to "Liang".

The difference of this one word may seem insignificant, but in fact it is a world of difference.

More importantly, this means that Lao Zhu's opinion of him has completely changed.

How could Lan Yu not be happy?
He immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Your Majesty, I, Lan Yu, thank you for your grace! Long live the emperor!"

The generals and nobles nearby, who had always been on good terms with Lan Yu, couldn't wait to help him untie them.

The civil servants are still confused!

I couldn't believe my ears and eyes.

However, the imperial decree had already been issued, and no one dared to refute it at this time and offend the emperor.

Looking at those generals and nobles who tried their best to conceal their joy but still inadvertently revealed their joy, the civil officials felt even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Di sighed softly in his heart.

Things have come to this point, the situation is over!
After Old Zhu finished speaking, he pulled Zhu Yunhuan and walked towards the dragon throne.

Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru's hands and feet became even colder.

Sudden.

Huang Zicheng's mind lit up and he remembered something.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to say!"

Inside the hall, everyone's eyes turned over at once.

Before entering the court, everyone knew that something big was going to happen today.

But up to now, the direction of things has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

It was originally thought that the key to this game was to convict or exonerate Lan Yu.

Unexpectedly, the interrogation of Lan Yu revealed Zhu Biao's last wish.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang even said that he wanted to hand over the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Yunhuan.

Although this was not a formal decree to appoint a crown prince.

But in the court, His Majesty the Emperor said this in front of all civil and military officials.

It is said that King Wu can shoulder the responsibility of ruling the Ming Dynasty and become a wise ruler.

How is this different from formally appointing a crown prince?
The future of the Ming Dynasty has been settled today!

Lan Yu also transformed himself from a guilty person into a meritorious minister!
What Huang Zicheng wanted to report at this time was by no means simple.

Old Zhu slowly turned around and said, "Speak!"

Huang Zicheng took a deep breath.

He knew very well that this was not a good time to submit a memorial!

If you are not careful, you will lose your head today.

Even the property is confiscated and the whole family is exterminated!
But Huang Zicheng had no choice!
If the imperial edict appointing Zhu Yunhuan as the crown prince was officially announced to the world, it would be too late to say anything.

He's going to give it a try no matter what.

Think about this.

Huang Zicheng had thousands of thoughts in his mind, which merged into one and he knelt down.
