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

After a while, someone finally broke the silence: "Your Highness, could you please describe in detail what exactly happened?"

The others nodded in agreement.

He cast an inquiring look at Zhu Yunhuan.

To know where to go next, you must at least understand the current situation.

Zhu Yunhuan had naturally expected someone to explore this point. His face was filled with grief, and he said in a low voice, "I think the emperor probably misses his father too much and is too sad..."

Of course, he didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang died suddenly, so he made up a seemingly reasonable explanation. After all, considering how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued Zhu Biao, it is possible that he died because he could not bear Zhu Biao's early death.

Many people nodded.

He lowered his eyes with some regret.

Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for Zhu Biao were seen by everyone in the court and the country.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, he was directly appointed as the crown prince and was taken with him wherever he went. All state affairs were directly reviewed and handled by Zhu Biao. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the executive vice emperor. Zhu Biao was completely regarded as the only heir.

Other emperors were worried that their sons would rebel against them.

What Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about was that his eldest son had no desire for power. If Zhu Biao wanted to rebel, he would tie himself up and welcome him with firecrackers.

And since the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

The court officials also saw Zhu Yuanzhang's hair gradually turn white and his back gradually become hunched...

Too much grief.

It is indeed reasonable.

Amidst the gloomy mood, Huang Zicheng stepped forward and questioned loudly, "With His Majesty's passing, the person in charge should be the Second Prince, Zhu Yunhuan! You are overstepping your authority!"

At this time, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai also realized that something was wrong.

Immediately take the lead.

Bring Zhu Yunwen to the surface.

Qi Tai immediately echoed, "That's right! The Second Prince is the eldest son of the Eastern Palace. These days, he has been accompanying His Majesty in and out of Fengtian Hall and Jinshen Hall, participating in state affairs. According to etiquette and law, the Second Prince should be in charge!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the officials in the court also came back to their senses.

That's right! These days, they have almost tacitly agreed that Zhu Yuanzhang will soon issue an edict to confer Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince.

Now His Majesty has passed away.

The Second Prince Zhu Yunwen did not stand up.

Instead, it was this Third Prince, whom I had never seen before, standing in the Fengtian Hall?

"That's right! This is indeed against etiquette! There should be order of seniority and respect for the inferior!"

"But...why is the Second Prince nowhere to be seen?"

"..."

Although everyone's words were not as fierce as Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's, they all agreed quietly, and at the same time they looked at Zhu Yunhuan with burning eyes, as if questioning him.

Zhu Yunhuan's expression remained unchanged.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.

He spoke calmly, "According to etiquette, first of all, regardless of whether I, Zhu Yunhuan, am the elder or younger, legitimate or illegitimate, I am the grandson of the Ming Emperor and the sovereign, while you, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, are the ministers. Etiquette states that the sovereign is the leader of the ministers. How can you two address me by my name? Hmm?"

Zhu Yunhuan looked directly at the two of them, his eyes turned cold, revealing a sharpness and murderous intent that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai had never seen before.

In the past, he had to restrain his edge, but now the times have changed. It is only a matter of time before he sits on the dragon throne next to him.

There is no need to hide some sharpness.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

It’s not that they haven’t seen Zhu Yunhuan before. In school, whenever they asked a question, this “waste” would avoid their eyes and stutter.

in their hearts.

I never took Zhu Yunhuan seriously.

In addition, the two of them had already openly stood behind Zhu Yunwen in their political stance, so they couldn't help but dislike Zhu Yunhuan.

It was common for them to give trouble and scold in class, and this "waste" just went along with their wishes. He would tremble with fear when they scolded him.

This was also the reason why they dared to subconsciously scold Zhu Yunhuan harshly in the court just now - they were used to it.
