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

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Princess are coming this way." Jiang Li bowed and clasped his fists to report.

He went to the Eastern Palace to deliver the message as instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen and Lu leaving the Eastern Palace, he went to the Qianqing Palace to report the news first.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back.

Although he still had the same imperial aura as before, no one knew that his hands behind his back had unconsciously clenched into fists, and he felt a hint of nervousness in his heart.

In his daily life, Zhu Yunwen was naturally gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, with a gentle and elegant appearance, and he could often be made happy.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew it.

Emperors have always been alone and this status naturally makes them only see the respectful side of others, even their own grandsons are no exception.

But he is old, and the Ming Dynasty needs a crown prince to stabilize the people's hearts.

That's why he had to observe Zhu Yunwen in this way.

Not only to see the real Zhu Yunwen, but also to decide who will die and who will live after today!

Perhaps countless lives would be wiped out at any time. Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It was Dai Sigong who reminded him: "Then your majesty must hide first."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly took a deep breath, unclenched his fists, and immediately calmed down. He nodded and said, "The rest is up to you two."

He was an iron-blooded emperor. Even if he had some emotional ups and downs, they would only last for a moment. When it was time to kill someone, he wouldn't even blink.

After saying this, he walked back to the dragon bed slowly and calmly.

Sitting calmly on the edge of the dragon couch.

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

Dai Sigong followed behind him and stood beside the dragon bed, but when the time came, he couldn't help but become nervous, and sweat broke out on his forehead and palms.

Jiang Li pulled down the golden curtain in front of the dragon bed.

This curtain was specially made by the Needlework Bureau. You can see everything outside clearly from the inside, but you cannot see what is inside from the outside.

The curtain has just fallen.

Then a "creaking" sound was heard, and a handsome and elegant young man in a light golden brocade robe walked in, tears in his eyes: "Grandpa Emperor..."

Behind him followed a middle-aged woman who was dressed simply and had a graceful demeanor.

He also bowed his head and wiped away tears.

Naturally, they are Zhu Yunwen and the current Crown Princess Lu.

The figure of Dai Sigong, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, could be vaguely seen through the curtain, so the two naturally had no doubts in their hearts.

"Grandpa Emperor, I saw you were fine yesterday. You even ate a big bowl of noodles that I cooked for you. How come today... Grandpa Emperor..." Zhu Yunwen walked towards the dragon bed, tears streaming down his face.

Jiang Li was shocked.

He immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I beg you to accept my condolences. However, Your Majesty is a noble man, and the royal family has its rules. I can only trouble Your Majesty and the Crown Princess to say goodbye behind the curtain."

Zhu Yunwen paused and nodded: "I know, but the emperor grandfather... sigh..."

Whether it is sincere or false.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Dai Sigong and Jiang Li were both here, so the superficial work had to be done well no matter what.

Following behind him, Lady Lu's face remained etched with sorrow. She glanced at Dai Sigong and then Jiang Li, then asked, "May I ask Commander Jiang and Lord Dai, did His Majesty leave any instructions before he left?"

After saying this, he poked Zhu Yunwen's back without leaving any trace.

Zhu Yunwen understood.

He also looked up at the two of them.

On the dragon couch, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at him, thinking to himself, "This Lu... usually she's a low-key, frugal, and not competitive person. She serves Biao'er and me perfectly. Isn't her reaction today a bit too clever?"

But he just had this thought in his mind.

He was in the position of the emperor, and when others knew that he had "passed away", they would inevitably think of such things, and it was impossible to say what would happen to the Lu family.

Facing the gazes of Lu and Zhu Yunwen.

Dai Sigong and Jiang Li shook their heads at the same time as Zhu Yuanzhang instructed.

Jiang Li said, "The incident happened suddenly, and His Majesty didn't have time to explain anything. However, although His Majesty hasn't announced it to the world yet, he has mentioned to me several times that he intends to make the Second Prince the Crown Prince. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask the Second Prince to take charge of the situation."

Hear the words.

Zhu Yunwen's heart began to beat wildly, and he felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead.

Fortunately, he often served Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he was not very old, he was able to hide his emotions and restrained himself from showing any joy on his face.

"What to do next, please let the Second Prince arrange it. I will guard outside the door, and please feel free to tell me if you have anything." After explaining what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Jiang Li bowed and took his leave. After all, the next stage was Zhu Yunwen's.

Dai Sigong also walked out from behind the curtain, bowed, and followed Jiang Li.

Wait until Jiang Li and Dai Sigong leave.

Zhu Yunwen first looked around warily, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no one else around.

"This... Mother, I... What should I do now?"

"Will those...those ministers in the court obey me?"

After the initial excitement, Zhu Yunwen suddenly "took over" the huge Ming Dynasty. He was at a loss for a moment. It seemed as if his head was stuffed with a tangled ball of hemp rope, and he didn't even know where the ends of the ropes were. He even looked panicked and frightened.

He could only turn to Lu for help.

See this situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the dragon bed, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

"Yun Wen is indeed a filial son and quite clever, but sometimes he can be a little soft-hearted and doesn't have strong opinions. He actually consulted the ladies of the palace about such a big matter!"

The other side of the veil.

Mrs. Lu was also slightly stunned.

After calming down from the joy in his heart, he said:

"Child, don't panic! Didn't you hear what Commander Jiang just said? Regardless of whether your identity as the 'Crown Prince' has been announced to the world, the Jinyiwei will recognize you!"

"Moreover, the ministers in the court have been secretly speculating about your grandfather's intentions these days. Many of them originally believed that your grandfather wanted to confer a title on you. Furthermore, you are diligent in your studies and respectful to your teachers, so the scholars and the Imperial Academy all highly respect you."

"I think... they won't make things difficult for you."

Zhu Yunwen immediately felt certain in his heart, his eyes finally lit up slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, mother... mother, you are right!"

But then his face turned sad, with a hint of fear in it: "But mother, those Huaixi warriors, especially Lan Yu and Chang Sheng and the others, are all closely related to the former Crown Princess's lineage..."

Mrs. Lu tapped Zhu Yunwen's forehead gently.

She rolled her eyes, her tone filled with disdain and contempt: "Silly child! In terms of status, you are the eldest son! Besides, Zhu Yunhuan looks so stupid and hopeless, what are you afraid of?"

"Mom, I'm not worried about the third child, it's just..."

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head slightly, frowning, and said with some embarrassment: "Those warriors are vulgar, they don't like me. Every time they look at me, it's like there are knives hidden in their eyes, which makes me feel a little uneasy."

"Once the news about the Qianqing Palace gets out, will they...will they..."

At the end of his speech, Zhu Yunwen's voice became softer, showing that he was really scared. Who were the Huaixi nobles? They were all murderers who had walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. People with weaker psychological qualities would find it difficult to withstand such an aura.

On the dragon bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

There was also a look of worry on his face.

"On a normal day, I see this child as obedient and I like him from the bottom of my heart. But why is it that when something happens, he is not as calm as a woman..."

"Now that I'm dead, you'll be the next emperor. You hold power over everyone else. Do you know how powerful that power is?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang kept sighing secretly, feeling more and more lost.

Judging from Zhu Yunwen's behavior, he really did not have the bearing of an emperor. Even though this child was indeed gentle, respectful, frugal and filial, the Confucian set of gentleness, respectful, frugal and filial piety in governing the world required only of the common people, ministers and even princes.

For an emperor, courage, decisiveness, vision, adaptability... compared to these, those are all empty things and are completely insignificant.

But... considering all the pros and cons, Zhu Yunwen is the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince under the current circumstances. After all, he really doesn't want his sons to kill each other for the throne.

"Alas... I can still teach him all these things! I can only hold on to these old bones for a few more years and teach him the ways of being an emperor..."

"Biao'er, do you know how big a problem you've left for your father?"

All of a sudden.

Sadness, worry, and depression all flooded into my heart.
