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

Chang Sheng wanted to take Zhu Yunhuan out so that he would have no worries about the military remonstrance tonight.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang reacted quickly and controlled Zhu Yunhuan in the palace first, the entire Huaixi Group would be in a passive position.

In fact, the purpose of causing this scene was not only to vent Zhu Yunhuan's anger, but also to take Zhu Yunhuan away.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree easily.

So we have to use some tricks.

"Yunxun, do you want to stay with them for two days? This is the East Palace, this is your home."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, but instead asked Zhu Yunhuan's attitude.

"Home? Your Majesty, do I still have a home? My brother is dead, my father is dead, my mother is dead, where is my home?" Zhu Yunhuan asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

These words choked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Zhu Yunhuan to be so distant from him.

Chang Sheng said, "As the saying goes, if your father dies, you can bury him anywhere, but if your mother dies, you can wait for your uncle to come. The Thunder God in the sky and the uncle in the earth, Yun Hun's parents and brothers are all dead. I, your uncle, am his blood relative, and the Kaiguogong Mansion is his home!"

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words, Chang Sheng quickly took advantage of the opportunity.

"Yunhuan, do you really not want to live in the Eastern Palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang had a complicated mentality at this moment.

Family affection is Zhu Yuanzhang's only scabbard.

Among them, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were the ones who were most capable of controlling Zhu Yuanzhang's knife.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Empress Ma was his wife, the other women were concubines, Zhu Biao was his son, and the other sons were princes.

Zhu Biao's legitimate son is a grandson, and the rest are just imperial grandsons.

Logically speaking, among Zhu Biao's descendants, after Zhu Biao's death, the one who should have been most favored by Zhu Yuanzhang was Zhu Yunhuan.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yunhuan was not capable of taking on important tasks before, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only transfer this love to his eldest son Zhu Yunwen.

Now, Zhu Yunhuan has demonstrated his talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to forcibly restrain Zhu Yunhuan with imperial decree. This may be a little compensation to Zhu Yunhuan.

"Your Majesty, this empty palace is filled with only cold solemnity. I, your Sun Chen, am willing to go to my uncle's house." Zhu Yunhuan's answer made Zhu Yuanzhang very sad, but he also felt a little regretful.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the alienation in Zhu Yunhuan's words.

He addressed himself as a subject and called himself "Your Majesty", but he did not call Chang Sheng "Duke of the Founding Kingdom" but "Uncle".

The word "distant" is almost written on his face.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who longed for family affection, feel very disappointed.

The reason why Zhu Yunhuan distanced himself from Zhu Yuanzhang was that he knew that he would soon stand opposite Zhu Yuanzhang.

He had to rely on the military power of the Huaixi Group to launch a mutiny and take power!

It’s not good to get too close to Zhu Yuanzhang.

How can one achieve both in this world?

If he wanted to become the crown prince in a short period of time, he had to choose the Huaixi Group.

If time is long enough, he can become Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson and Chang Sheng's nephew at the same time, balancing the imperial power and the Huaixi Group, getting the best of both worlds.

But now is the critical moment to decide the crown prince. I have no way and no time to take it easy. I can only rely on force to ascend to the throne.

If he hadn't made such a fuss, Zhu Yunwen would have been named the Crown Prince today.

What's more, he was not the original Zhu Yunhun, and his feelings towards Zhu Yuanzhang were very unfamiliar to him, so in this situation, Zhu Yunhun naturally put interests first.

After leaving the palace, I have to plan the mutiny carefully and try to take action the next day or the day after tomorrow.

What Zhu Yunhuan didn't know was that the Huaixi Group thought the same way, and acted even faster than Zhu Yunhuan.

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Sun Chen/I'll take my leave."

The three of them handed over and left.

Before leaving, Lan Yu glared at Lu, as if to say that this matter was not over yet!

Chang Sheng added, "To criticize the late crown prince's legitimate son harshly, without knowing the difference between the lord and the illegitimate, is disloyal to the late crown prince, unkind to the late crown princess, unjust to the legitimate son, and unfilial to Your Majesty! Your Majesty should give an explanation to the late crown prince for those who are disloyal, unjust, unkind, and unfilial."

After saying this, he took Zhu Yunhuan and left the Eastern Palace.

There are some things that Lan Yu, Zhu Yunhuan's great-uncle, cannot say, but he, his uncle, can say.

"Pass the decree. Crown Princess Lu is under house arrest in the Eastern Palace and is not allowed to leave without an imperial decree." After Chang Sheng left, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and issued this decree.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang turned and left.

These sudden words left both Lu and Zhu Yunwen unable to react.

At this time, Lu still didn't understand what was happening.

I am the victim!

I am the one being scolded!

Why was I the one who got punished in the end?

Lan Yu and Chang Sheng: Didn't we get punished too? We were fined one year's salary.

Lu: Do you need this little salary? I am under house arrest for an indefinite period of time! Are the penalties we receive the same level?

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the East Palace and sighed towards the sky.

"Wang Zhong, when did we go from being an imperial grandfather to being His Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the personal eunuch who had followed him for almost thirty years.

Wang Zhong replied, "This is the price of being an emperor. This is also why emperors are called lonely. It is lonely at the top. Being an emperor and enjoying supreme power means you have to pay the price of loneliness. There are gains and losses. This is the way of life."

After hearing this truth, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. It was precisely because it was lonely at the top that Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the only family relationship between Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

It’s a pity that Zhu Biao and Empress Ma left him one after another.

Of Zhu Biao's two legitimate sons, one left him early, and the other had already distanced himself from him. Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel any sense of home from the calls of his other grandsons that he had received from them.

What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted now was for Zhu Yunhuan to call him Grandfather Emperor.

This is actually a very normal name.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, when these three words came out of Zhu Yunhuan's mouth, it sounded like love but cannot get, hate but cannot get, want but cannot get, and resent but cannot get.

Zhu Yunhuan's heart must have been deeply broken by his own majesty.

"We are the ones who hurt his heart. Would a grandfather doubt something that his grandson deserves? He is right. What is the point of this family doubting each other to this extent?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, not knowing how to deal with this matter.

Is it anger, pity, or sadness?

"His Majesty……"

Wang Zhong opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

"He's right. The empty palace is cold and solemn. In this solemn and sacred imperial palace, we no longer have a home. Hahahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled sadly, and as he smiled, a tear rolled down the corner of his eye, and then he left the East Palace.

This laughter is full of sadness and endless vicissitudes.
