Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Inside the East Palace.

"Lu, get out here!"

Chang Sheng kicked away the two eunuchs who were blocking his way.

No one dared to stop me from entering the Eastern Palace. Even when the former Crown Prince Zhu Biao was around, he didn't stop me from entering.

Lu brought Zhu Yunwen out from the back hall.

"My two dukes, what are you trying to do by breaking into the East Palace? Are you here to bully us, an orphan and a widow?"

With just one sentence, Lu accused him of breaking into the Eastern Palace.

Lan Yu pushed Chang Sheng aside and asked him to move aside. She had to make the first move in this matter.

"Ms. Lu, how dare you criticize my nephew!" Lan Yu pointed at Ms. Lu's nose and asked.

At this time, a eunuch had already quickly gone to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Duke Liang, you must have evidence when you speak! Although I am not Yun Hun's biological mother, I have never been harsh on him! I treat everyone equally!"

Lu argued cunningly.

"Treat everyone equally? Bullshit!"

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he immediately pulled out Zhu Yunwen who was hiding behind Lu.

"What are you doing? How dare you kidnap the emperor's grandson?" Lu asked hurriedly.

Lan Yu snorted coldly, pulled off the jade belt around Zhu Yunwen's waist, took off his outer robe, and then pushed Zhu Yunwen back into Lu's arms.

"Is this your equal treatment? Zhu Yunwen, the bastard, is wearing brocade clothes! And my nephew is wearing a patched inner garment with his belly exposed. I don't even know how many years ago this garment was made!"

Zhu Yunwen was indeed dressed brightly and beautifully, but the clothes on Zhu Yunhuan were deliberately put on by Zhu Yunhuan himself last night.

But it's pretty much the same.

However, what Zhu Yunhuan wore was not gorgeous clothes, but clothes discarded by Zhu Yunwen. They were not small and were not patched.

Chang Sheng also spoke up, "As the crown prince's successor, you favored a concubine over the legitimate wife and spied on the Eastern Palace. What crime should you be punished for?"

The word "concubine" made Lu choke.

"Duke of the Founding Kingdom! What do you mean by spying on the Eastern Palace? This has always been ours!"

Lan Yu replied, "The son inherits the father's throne! The Eastern Palace belongs to my nephew's grandson! How did it become yours? Do you think that you can take over my eldest niece's nest just because she's dead? I tell you, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, and a pheasant can never become a phoenix even if it flies onto a tree!"

"That's right. My nephew is a legitimate son, the legitimate child of the late crown prince and his wife. He has only one elder brother, the eldest legitimate grandson Zhu Xiongying! After the father's death, the son inherits, and after the elder brother's death, the younger brother inherits. You dare to touch my nephew's things. Do you really think there is no one left in our Chang family?" Chang Sheng echoed.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her liver hurt when she saw the two of them singing the same tune.

"I am the Crown Princess!"

"You are the Crown Prince's Consort!"

"Yun Wen is the eldest son!"

"A concubine's eldest son, are you worthy of being compared with a legitimate son? Even if he is only the legitimate second son, there is a difference between legitimate and concubine's sons. Don't confuse the hierarchy!"

"I am the legitimate mother of the late crown prince's son!"

"You are a concubine promoted to the first wife, a stepmother. A legitimate son can only have one legitimate mother. You are only a stepmother, in name only."

The Lu family and the Chang family were arguing with each other.

Chang Sheng had a loud voice and he suppressed Lu steadily.

Lan Yu on the side was shocked. How could his nephew be so eloquent?

Lu shouted so loudly that her voice became hoarse, and Zhu Yuanzhang hurried over.

"Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, how dare you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had not arrived yet, but the scolding was heard first.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Lan Yu and Chang Sheng shut up and looked into the distance.

Behind Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Yunhuan.

When Zhu Yunhuan heard that Chang Sheng and Lan Yu had come to cause trouble in the Eastern Palace, he also came to join in the fun.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lan Yu and Chang Sheng bowed.

"Uncle, great uncle." Zhu Yunhuan bowed.

"Greetings to our Emperor/Grandpa." Lu and Zhu Yunwen also hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Do you two still have any rules? Who gave you the courage to come to the East Palace and make a scene?"

Chang Sheng stood up and said, "I am not here as a subject, I am here as the uncle of a nephew! Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I am the uncle of His Highness Yunxun!"

In ancient times, uncles had a very high status.

If someone is fighting with his nephew for the family property, the uncle can fight for his nephew openly.

This is something my uncles and aunts cannot do.

Uncles are only clan relatives, but uncles and nephews are blood relatives.

Uncles will fight with their nephews, but uncles will only help their nephews to get it.

Even the other party’s family members cannot refute the uncle’s status.

In the first half of the sentence, Chang Sheng called himself "I" and in the second half he called himself "a subject".

"Uncle, don't contradict His Majesty." Zhu Yunhuan came to Chang Sheng and pulled Chang Sheng's sleeve.

Chang Sheng patted Zhu Yunhuan's hand and said, "Don't worry, your uncle is here, no one can take your things."

"Who stole Yunhu's things?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and still didn't understand what happened.

Chang Sheng replied, "The sages said that when a father dies, the son inherits, and when an elder brother dies, the younger brother inherits. Yun Hun's father and elder brother are both dead. Is this the eldest son of Yun Hun?"

These words made Zhu Yuanzhang frown.

Because this is the fact. Chang Sheng and the others came here to make trouble for the selection of the crown prince?

Lan Yu ripped open Zhu Yunhuan's clothes, "Your Majesty! Take a look for yourself! Look at the life my eldest niece's biological son has led in the East Palace after her death! It's only been a few months since the late crown prince passed away, and his legitimate son is living this kind of life? Is he still the crown prince's legitimate son?"

As Zhu Yunhuan's clothes were torn open by Lan Yu, his inner garment and the holes in his outer robe were revealed. It was seen that Zhu Yunhuan's inner garment was only enough to cover half of his belly, and there were still a few puddings.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his pupils shrank and he was obviously shocked.

"My sister has a pity. She gave birth to a son for the late crown prince and continued the legitimate bloodline of the Ming Dynasty. However, her eldest son died young, and her second son is starving and freezing here, with no clothes to wear. How could my sister's two sons be so miserable? I would like to ask Your Majesty, is it that your Zhu family is so heartless, or is it that my sister was blind and married the wrong person!" Chang Sheng said angrily.

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

Chang Sheng's words perfectly illustrate the meaning of insubordination.

"Uncle, please stop talking. I'm used to them snatching my things. Wuuuuuu." Zhu Yunhuan said with his eyes reddened and he pretended to cry again.

"Yunxun, you have been wronged. If you have any complaints, tell them to your uncle today. I will take you to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to burn the complaint!

Go and complain to your brother, mother, father, grandmother, great-grandfather, great-grandmother, great-great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and all the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

First, I accuse my stepmother of favoring a concubine over the legitimate wife, and of usurping the magpie's nest! Second, I accuse my stepbrother of using a concubine to offend the legitimate wife, and of having no regard for superiors and inferiors! Third, I accuse Your Majesty of tolerating lawlessness and being heartless and disloyal!"

As Chang Sheng said this, he was about to take Zhu Yunhuan to the Taimiao.

Lan Yu was not afraid of the trouble and immediately said, "Granduncle will beat the drum for you! Kneel in the palace and knock on the gate! Let the people of the world see whether the laws of the Ming Dynasty do not extend to the crimes of the royal family!"
