Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

After Zhang Wen explained it this way.

Lan Yu, Chang Sheng and others who had more straightforward thinking understood it immediately. They all showed a look of sudden realization on their faces, and their eyes revealed bursts of speechlessness when they looked at Zhu Yunhuan.

No? What's going on in this kid's head?

Why does this kid not look like a teenager, but more like an old fox who has lived for decades?

Lan Yu frowned and touched her chin, looking Zhu Yuntong up and down, and said, "Why do I feel that... you look a bit like someone?"

He had this feeling in his heart, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi said softly, "Like... like Duke Han Guo?"

Lan Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's that old fox!"

Li Shanchang, Duke of Han, has been Zhu Yuanzhang's military advisor since he started his rebellion. When Zhu Yuanzhang was campaigning in the south and the north, it was he who was in charge of managing the rear and dispatching logistics and food supplies.

Later, when the Ming Dynasty was established, meritorious officials were rewarded. Among the founding heroes, six people were named Dukes, namely Xu Da, Chang Yuchun's son Chang Mao, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu and Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang still ranked first among them and was compared to Xiao He by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants who were once highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, such as Zhang Chang, Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang, Hu Weiyong... were all convicted for various reasons. Only Li Shanchang worked steadily until the 18th year of Hongwu.

This shows how cunning this old fox is.

Many of the Huaixi generals present nodded in agreement with Lan Yu's statement. They were a group of straightforward generals, and most of them had similar impressions of Li Shanchang: an old fox, an old silver coin.

The actions of the Third Prince in front of me.

It's really interesting.

After a moment, someone realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "Uh, well... Third Prince, we're not scolding you..."

They complained about Li Shanchang being an old fox and an old silver coin, at least in private.

Zhu Yunhuan is still here now.

After all, this little fox is the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace today, and tomorrow they will push him to the dragon throne in the Fengtian Hall and call him "Your Majesty".

This is somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunhuan didn't seem to mind at all. He just smiled calmly and said, "Duke Hanguo is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He is well-informed and has great wisdom and strategy. Grandpa Emperor once compared him to Xiao He."

Many Huaixi generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made some excuses with a smile:

"Hahahaha! That's right, that's exactly what I meant!"

"That old fox, Duke Han, has lived a long time, but the Third Prince is so young and has such strategic means. He is even better than Duke Han!"

"..."

Lan Yu chuckled, "Little Fox is good, clever little fox! He's nothing like that Zhu Yunwen, rigid and boring, a complete nerd. Even in the dragon robe he doesn't look like a prince. I don't know how the old man likes him!"

Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting aside and trembling, listened openly to the group of people in front of him discussing how to deal with him. However, at this time, he and Lu dared not say a word. They just wanted to cover their ears and pretend to be invisible, for fear of provoking these murderous buddies again.

There are only ten thousand alpaca horses galloping through my heart: I'm already miserable, don't cue me!

at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was amused by the atmosphere outside and almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, everyone outside was talking and no one paid attention to the subtle movements on his side.

Looking at the white figure outside the curtain, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Although Zhu Yunhuan was plotting against Zhu Yunwen.

But from the perspective of controlling the court structure and being an emperor, Zhu Yunhu's actions are beyond reproach. When an emperor enjoys power, how to maintain the operation of the country, how to stabilize the court and the people's hearts are all subjects that need to be studied.

At this point.

He could see that Zhu Yunhuan had a very thorough understanding of .

"This sly move is truly clever. He knows how to adapt and isn't bound by conventional methods. He's trapped his competitors, silenced the officials and the people, and earned a good reputation along the way. It truly kills three birds with one stone."

"He does have some of Li Shanchang's style."

Speaking of Li Shanchang.

No one knows better than him.

From the beginning of the uprising to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and all the way to the gradual stabilization and even settling of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang was always by his side to offer advice and suggestions.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was nothing wrong with Lan Yu's analogy.

"Yunxun, this kid, is a piece of top-notch material, both in terms of character and brains!"

"Although I now single-handedly control the entire Ming Dynasty, managing and balancing these court officials, and dealing with those scholars who spout endless philosophies...it took many years to gradually become adept at it."

"In this respect, Yunxun is stronger than us!"

"Yunxun is only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet he's already so thoughtful. This isn't just about being clever; it must be about a very detailed understanding of the minds of the court scholars."

While thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously looked at Zhu Yunwen on the other side.

Among his grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen were the closest, especially after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang spent more time with Zhu Yunwen.

I couldn't help but compare the two of them.

"Yun Wen is extremely lacking in this aspect."

"Although Lan Yu's evaluation was a bit harsh, it was also true. Yun Wen was often inflexible. He could speak fluently about textbook knowledge, but when it was separated from what he had learned in class, he became much more confused."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the questions he had asked Zhu Yunwen on a daily basis. Zhu Yunwen often discussed and asked questions with his study partner Huang Zicheng and scholars in the Hanlin Academy like Qi Tai, who were close to him. Only after they had discussed the questions together would they tell Zhu Yuanzhang the answers.

Not that long ago.

When Zhu Yunwen first learned the news of his death, he was completely at a loss and kept calling his mother "mother".

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyes, shook his head and sighed softly.

"Alas... Lu deserves to die a thousand times, but Yunwen, he and Yunxun are brothers after all. Do they really want to go to such a life-and-death struggle?"

The difference in qualifications between his two grandsons was immediately apparent, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also pleased that he had found such a good talent as Zhu Yunhuan at such a difficult time.

But Zhu Yunwen was no match for him.

He is still his grandson after all.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a peasant family and still retained some simple habits in his bones.

For example, his affection for his first wife, Empress Ma, his unreserved doting and trust in his son Zhu Biao, and the way he referred to himself, after all these years, he was still more accustomed to using the peasants' self-proclaimed term "we" rather than the more formal and majestic "I."

He can be cold-blooded and ruthless to others, and even wield the knife against meritorious officials.

But when it comes to meeting his own grandson, it is inevitable that he still retains some softness in his heart.

At this moment, I can't help but feel entangled...
