My subjects are too rebellious!

"Everyone, get up. What is this for?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that the emperor had spoken, and that it seemed that he was on his side, he quickly stood up and pointed at Yu Huatian angrily.

"Come on, hit me now. Let's see if you dare to hit me in front of His Majesty."

Qin Chuan was also happy when he looked at the future golden beans.

I walked up to him and pinched his face, telling him to be a good boy and listen to his family from now on.

Especially you, Zhu Gaoxu, you should read more books, otherwise you will suffer.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what the emperor meant, he only knew that the emperor pinched his face and smiled at him.

I was envious of my brother just now, but now I don’t envy him at all.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll send someone to take you to see your father later."

"Then you can ride horses and hunt on the grassland."

"If you catch any prey, don't forget to ask your father to write to me and tell me."

The three children were all happy to hear this, especially Zhu Gaoxu. He was active by nature and became excited when he thought of the vast grassland.

"Your Majesty, if I write to you after I kill the prey, will you really read it?"

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's expectant expression, Qin Chuan rubbed his head and said with a smile.

"Most definitely."

Zhu Gaoxu jumped up excitedly instantly. At this moment, Xu Miaoyun, who was standing behind him, looked at the emperor who treated his son tenderly.

I was in a trance again.

It seems that Your Majesty was once as innocent as this, but it seems that the duration of his innocence was very short.

Looking at Qin Chuan's departing back, Xu Miaoyun secretly made up her mind to win Zhu Di's heart back.

Even if we follow Your Majesty's orders and establish a dynasty overseas, we must never allow him to rebel within the territory of the Wu Dynasty.

Perhaps, many years later, Xu Miaoyun will be glad for the decision she made today.

And she, perhaps, will never forget this morning's court session for the rest of her life, when a young emperor stood in the sun and told her about his hardships.

What’s more, I can’t forget the five-clawed golden dragon formed by the halo behind the young emperor.

This will be something she will never forget.

...

"Long Yi, send a hundred Jinyiwei to escort Zhu Di's family to the grassland."

It seemed that he still felt unsafe, so Qin Chuan continued to order: "Let Long Liu go with us."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

Zhang Rang couldn't understand what His Majesty did. He didn't understand why he sent people to send Zhu Di's family to reunite.

Originally Zhu Di still had some reservations, but now he could let go and rebel.

Glancing at His Majesty cautiously, Zhang Rang felt that this young emperor was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

Of course, he was not the only one who didn't understand.

"You said that His Majesty sent someone to send Zhu Di's family to reunite with him?"

Wu Yingxiong said with a look of disbelief.

The old man standing beside him bowed and said respectfully: "Sir, it is absolutely true. He has left the city now."

"Moreover, it was His Majesty who personally ordered that they be escorted by the Royal Guards, and the leader was a top expert wearing a gray-faced evil ghost mask."

Wu Yingxiong swept away everything on the table with some grief and anger.

"Why!"

"Why should I be a hostage in the capital?"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty allow me to be escorted back to Yunnan? Why?"

Uncle Fu stood aside, waiting for the prince to vent his anger.

After Wu Yingxiong calmed down, Uncle Fu continued.

"Prince, there is news from the prince, asking you to be more patient."

“When the time is right, great things can be accomplished. Don’t rush it.”

Wu Yingxiong naturally knew these principles, but he was unwilling to accept them.

He was unwilling to accept the fact that he had to stay in the capital as a hostage while his younger brother Wu Yinglin could stay in the palace and act tyrannically.

"Uncle Fu, if my father achieves great success one day, can I really become the crown prince?"

When Uncle Fu heard this, he was shocked.

The people who were able to stay in the capital and secretly protect Wu Yingxiong were naturally Wu Sangui's confidants.

However, looking at Wu Yingxiong, whom he had watched grow up, he still felt sympathy for him.

"Prince, you just need to remember that your title of Crown Prince was bestowed by the prince, and you are also the eldest son."

"No matter what, you are the first heir, and no one can take this right away from you."

Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Wu Yingxiong felt reassured.

Looking at Wu Yingxiong who was gradually calming down, Uncle Fu said softly, "Recently, it seems that someone has noticed our spies in Beijing."

"You should be more calm recently, Prince, and don't do anything out of line."

Wu Yingxiong nodded and agreed, but asked in surprise: "Do you know who it is?"

Uncle Fu said with some embarrassment: "We didn't find any actual evidence. Those people's skills are very strange. Our people...can't find it."

Seeing that Wu Yingxiong really took it seriously, Uncle Fu felt relieved.

However, he decided to send a few people to follow Wu Yingxiong after he returned.

If the prince did anything against the law or abducted a woman, he would let his men stop him immediately.

At the very least, we must protect the prince's life in the capital.

But how could he know that every move of all forces in the capital was now under close surveillance.

...

"Empress Dowager, today His Majesty first appointed a group of poor students in the morning court, and then asked about the imperial examination."

"And let the left prime minister set the topic, using the title of a frontier official as the subject."

"As for Zhu Di's matter, His Majesty did not order him to return to the capital, but rather stopped the officials from discussing it."

"And after the morning court session, he took Zhang Rang and Yu Huatian to Zhu Di's residence at 4:00 pm."

"We only know that he met Xu Miaoyun. As for what they said and did in between, we don't know."

"But after His Majesty left, a team of Jinyiwei escorted Zhu Di's family out of the city."

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and told Lu Zhi in detail about His Majesty's every move.

Since Wei Zhongxian chose Qinchuan, Zhao Gao took over Wei Zhongxian's position.

He came to Kunning Palace three times a day to report the emperor's itinerary to Lu Zhi.

However, Lu Zhi was still concentrating on watering the flowers. After hearing that Zhu Di's family was escorted out of the city, she felt a little interested.

Now her power has become smaller and smaller, and her influence in the court is not much left.

Yan Song hasn't reported any news to himself for many days, not to mention the two ministers headed by Yan Song.

Lu Zhi felt that her life was pretty good now. She had fine clothes and delicious food, and she watered the flowers and fed the fish every day. Except for feeling a little lonely, everything else was good.

Watching the little guy grow up day by day, now he seems to have the demeanor of an emperor.

But Lu Zhi was happy in her heart.

Perhaps no one could believe that a woman who controlled the government was actually loyal to the Dawu Dynasty.

But what they didn't know was that Lu Zhi had been with the late emperor since she was a child. If she hadn't been saved by the late emperor, she might have died long ago.

The late emperor did not have any prejudice against her just because she was a girl and taught her a lot of knowledge.

At the same time, following the late emperor in his campaigns and watching the decrees he issued, her vision and thinking were subtly influenced.

And she gradually fell deeply in love with the late emperor.

She would never forget the day when the late emperor held her hand and solemnly asked her to take good care of the emperor before his death.

He even promised himself that his soul would wander around the world, waiting to meet him again in the next life.

Lu Zhi believed it, and she also fulfilled the late emperor's instructions.

Zhao Gao lay on the ground, not daring to look up.

As Lu Zhi gently waved her hand, Zhao Gao bowed and retreated one after another.

Not until all the eunuchs and palace maids around her disappeared did Lu Zhi's sweet voice sound faintly.

"My king, are you still waiting for Zhi'er?"

"Pheasant, I miss you so much."
