Zhu Yuanzhang stood there slightly hunched, with an extremely complicated expression on his face, which was already covered with wrinkles and spots. His eyes were fixed on the information in his hands, as if they were fixed.

And the words reflected in his pupils.

It was: [In less than two months, it will be the time for the new year. The Forbidden City will transition from the old to the new year, and with the new year comes the new era. Your Majesty has already instructed the Ministry of Rites to solemnly discuss the reign title and temple name for the late Crown Prince Yiwen. After recent deliberation, Your Majesty has approved the Ministry's decision, posthumously honoring the late Crown Prince Yiwen with the title "Emperor Xiaokang" and the temple name "Xingzong."]

Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't said anything yet, so Lu Wei naturally didn't dare to disturb him.

The yard was almost dead silent.

After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "We finally...see Biaoer become emperor!"

"Xiaokang... Xiaokang... filial piety and health."

"Biao'er has been a filial and good child since he was young. He has lived up to our expectations of him his entire life. It's a pity... If only he could truly become the emperor in good health, how wonderful it would be!"

The more he spoke, the hoarser Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became.

In the end, his tiger eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head slightly, and the tears slid down the wrinkles of age on his face.

Biaoer becomes the emperor.

Is this the result he has been looking forward to and waiting for for many years?

Even just seeing the posthumous reign title and temple name was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang unable to calm down. Zhu Biao was his first child, the one who carried all his hopes and was his beloved child! Even though it had been half a year since his death, his heart still couldn't help but ache.

I saw the four words "Emperor Xiaokang".

There was immediately nothing left in his mind except the face he would never see again. How could he care about anything else?

And he knew better.

If he wants these four words to last forever and be worshipped and respected by future generations, the person sitting in the Fengtian Hall must be his son!

Think about this.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang still have any hesitation in his heart?

Seeing the look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Lu Wei was secretly delighted, knowing that this matter was settled! Who didn't know that His Majesty Hongwu valued the late Prince Yiwen more than anything else?

Of course, he still feigned panic as he spoke, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are... the deceased is gone, you must mourn, right? Don't let your grief damage your health, or else the late Crown Prince... er, no, the late Emperor Xiaokang, would be restless in his grave."

As he spoke, he diligently supported Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already feeling weak all over at this moment, so he let Lu Wei help him back to sit on the armchair next to him. However, his hands were still tightly clenched on the paper with the information in his hands, his eyes were lost in thought.

……

at the same time.

The private residence was not far from the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so Zhu Di had almost returned to his own residence. With a slight smile on his face, he walked briskly back to the inner hall of the mansion.

"Your Highness, how is it?" This time, Monk Daoyan no longer had the calm look he had before. He couldn't wait to walk to the door of the inner hall and asked.

But seeing the joy on Zhu Di's face.

He had some idea in his mind and felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhu Di's voice was filled with joy as he said, "Father, if you don't want to see me, just tell me to get out."

However, what he said was somewhat inconsistent with the expression on his face. How could someone seem happy after being scolded?

Monk Daoyan naturally understood the meaning.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly as he said, "It seems His Majesty has already known about this. He has been in high position for many years, and to be so angry, he must be thinking that his two sons are in great danger and may very well die in Yingtian Prefecture!"
