After all, this is the family affair of the emperor and the crown prince, and there is no need for him, an outsider, to make such a big deal about it.
Anyway, all the doubts are there, and it's up to them to think what they want to think.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly and directly pointed out the Lu family, and Wei Wu was a little helpless.
As if seeing Wei Wu's concerns, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Wu, I can sense that you have some...how should I put it? It's like an invisible barrier against me."
"I understand. After all, we are the emperor who controls life and death. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The emperor will not confide in others."
"But actually, I really want to be honest with you, but I also understand that this can't be done with words. It takes time to prove it."
"I don't expect you to be completely open with me in such a short time, so I'll put it another way."
Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Wei Wu with a very frank look in his eyes.
"The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit. You are a wise person who knows your own value and importance."
"The common people's benefit is wealth, the officials' benefit is power, and the emperor's benefit is the whole world. So, to us, you are far more important than you think."
"As long as you don't betray the Ming Dynasty and betray us, even if you make a mistake, we have to admit it, right?"
At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang even made a witty remark to lighten the atmosphere.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were indeed very sincere.
But for Wei Wu, a later generation who has experienced an information explosion.
People's hearts will change, there is really no guarantee.
Trust is not established by words. He will not really open his heart just because of a few sincere words.
Of course, Wei Wu also believed that this was his true words, at least at this moment it was absolutely sincere.
As for the future, no one can predict what will happen.
Therefore, he is also willing to show the necessary attitude for his sincerity at this moment.
After all, the emperor has been open with him, so he has to give him some face and not keep him at a distance.
"Uncle Zhu, the greatest joy in my life is to live comfortably with my wife and children."
"So I promise you that I will not betray the Ming Dynasty. After all, you are the emperor. You value me and can always protect me."
"But I can't say for sure about the future emperor, so could you please show some mercy and give me a golden medal of immunity from death or something like that?"
As he spoke, Wei Wu deliberately winked and raised his eyebrows.
In fact, Wei Wu knew very well that this thing was useless, and the emperor had plenty of reasons to kill you.
Especially during the Hongwu period, those who had red-lettered iron certificates were killed.
In comparison, the red-lettered iron certificate of the Tang Dynasty had a greater effect than the one granted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, recognizing the red book and iron certificate of the previous dynasty also means that the current dynasty is also the orthodox Chinese dynasty, which is very important.
But in this situation, I have to say something.
Facts proved that what Wei Wu said was correct, and Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter after hearing it.
"You little brat, alright, I'll have someone forge a special gold medal for immunity from death and issue an imperial decree to reward you in public."
"Isn't that enough for you now? Then can you answer my question now?"
Wei Wu nodded in satisfaction, and then said directly:
"I think it's Lu. She is the Crown Prince's wife. After Xiong Ying passed away, she and her son were the biggest beneficiaries."
Since Lu was promoted from a concubine to the principal wife, her son naturally became the legitimate son in name.
As long as Zhu Yunhuan could be turned into a waste, no one would be able to compete with her son for the throne.
That's what she did, so Zhu Yunwen was able to ascend the throne and become emperor. Otherwise, the emperor should have been Zhu Yunhuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.
"Yes! There is only one throne. If she doesn't fight for it, her son will never have a chance in his life."
As he spoke, his eyes were looking into the distance, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.
