The General who conquered the enemy, Duke of Liang, Lan Yu!

On the one hand, he also felt happy and proud to see his nephew standing in the Fengtian Hall, giving instructions to the court, and criticizing the corrupt scholars like Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai over and over again, still using the etiquette and moral principles that those corrupt scholars liked to talk about the most.

On the other hand, he also knew.

I should stand up at this time.

Let those people in the court know that Zhu Yunhuan is not only the eldest son, but also has a powerful grandfather and grandfather-in-law, and also has people like them standing behind him.

What to do? It’s up to you!

As Lan Yu spoke, he stood up and said to the court officials in a resounding voice, "Your Highness the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace is the legitimate son of the first wife. After His Majesty's death, it is reasonable for Your Highness to take charge of the overall situation."

Lan Yu stood up.

Someone immediately lowered his head and avoided looking.

Who is this guy?

No one can match his arrogant and brave generals. He even dares to act arrogantly in front of Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty is gone, who dares to confront him head-on?

at the same time.

Some military generals who entered the court through military examinations and many battles after the founding of the country also looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a changed look.

"It turns out that this Third Prince of the Eastern Palace is the grandson of General Chang!"

For warriors, there are not so many twists and turns in their minds.

In the military, the most respected are the strong.

I always submit to whoever is stronger.

As for Chang Yuchun, whether in the court, among the people, or in the army, who hasn't heard of this god of war?

As a result, the Third Prince, who had never been heard of before, seemed more familiar.

Civil servants lined up.

Many people couldn't help but look hesitant.

Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu secretly exchanged glances, each of them feeling mixed emotions.

After a while.

Zhu Yunhuan's voice came again.

With a hint of joking, he called out, "Master Huang?"

Huang Zicheng pursed his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes rolling around. He forced himself to remain calm and said with his neck stiff, "Humph! So what? The Second Prince's status as the eldest son was personally recognized by His Majesty!"

"Otherwise, why doesn't His Majesty take you, the Third Prince, in and out of Fengtian Palace and Jinshen Palace? Why doesn't His Majesty personally teach you, the Third Prince, how to handle state affairs?"

Huang Zicheng said sarcastically.

This is also the source of his confidence - Zhu Yuanzhang recognized it!

It was also for this reason that when they were in the Qianqing Palace, Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen clearly knew Zhu Yunhuan's identity and background, but still insisted that "the title belongs to Zhu Yunwen."

This is also the reason why Zhu Yunhuan had to pull Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen behind him in advance, or at least to the middle.

really.

As soon as these words came out.

Many people nodded.

This is something that everyone can see, and there is no need to argue about it.

Before Huang Zicheng finished speaking, another voice sounded in Fengtian Hall, echoing: "That makes sense!"

When they looked where the voice came from, they found that it did not come from the ranks of civil officials, but from the ranks of military generals!

The generals lined up in formation.

A man with a square face and a beard stood up.

He said righteously, "The Second Prince and the Third Prince each have their own reasons for being honorable, but one thing no one can deny is that His Majesty has recognized the Second Prince!"

"Let me ask everyone present, who hasn't privately tacitly agreed that His Majesty might issue an edict appointing a crown prince at any moment?"

"Compared to that, the Second Prince is the one who is right and legitimate!"

"..."

This man is not young, but he still speaks with full energy.

It was Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia!

In terms of origin, Zhou Dexing, like Lan Yu and others, was a nobleman in Huaixi, and was even a fellow townsman and childhood playmate of the late Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

But everyone in the court knew it.

Zhou Dexing and Lan Yu and others had no connection or entanglement, but instead they were at odds with each other. The reason was the Second Prince of the Eastern Palace, Zhu Yunwen - he was the cousin of the Crown Princess Lu of the Eastern Palace!

Zhou Dexing and some generals beside him stood up.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's eyes lit up and their expressions immediately became excited.

It was like pulling at straws.

Huang Zicheng's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Marquis Jiang Xia is a wise man!"

Zhou Dexing's standing up also reassured some people who were afraid of the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Zhou Dexing?"

It's nothing else.

The main thing is that he almost forgot about Zhou Dexing.

of course.

It's also because he subconsciously thinks so.

Zhou Dexing had no influence on him at all.

After all, Zhu Yunhuan from later generations had long known that Zhou Dexing would not survive the 25th year of Hongwu.

To pave the way for Zhu Yunwen.

Old Zhu wiped out Lan Yu and his group of people.

But at the same time, probably taking into account the interference of external relatives in politics, they found a reason to dismiss Zhou Dexing and confiscate his property. The reason was that his son Zhou Ji had an affair with a palace maid in the palace.

Because Zhu Yunhuan often stayed in his own courtyard and was watched over by the Lu family, it was inevitable that he would be delayed in receiving news from the outside world.

He also didn't know whether Zhou Dexing was alive or not.

But it is not important.

In Zhu Yunhuan's opinion, if Zhou Dexing's property had already been confiscated by Zhu, he would not need to consider anything.

If Zhou Dexing had not been copied yet, he would keep a close eye on Zhou Dexing's eldest son Zhou Ji, and sooner or later he would copy him himself.

Think of this.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Obviously.

The moment Zhou Dexing stood up.

He already had a way to die.

Inside the Fengtian Hall, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Zhou Dexing... and others were already standing together, opposite Lan Yu and others, forming a subtle confrontation.

Seeing everyone nodding in response to what he and Zhou Dexing said, Huang Zicheng twirled his beard and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling proud.

He still didn't stop talking.

He turned to look at the gray-haired old man not far away, the great scholar Liu Sanwu, and confidently incited him, "The Second Prince of the Eastern Palace is the legitimate grandson recognized by His Majesty. He is also the oldest and should be the Crown Prince. Scholar Liu, do you agree or not?"

Liu Sanwu is a great scholar of our time who attaches great importance to etiquette and laws.

Should support him.

Say it.

He turned to look at the other side, where the civil servants were at the front of the line, ready to continue pulling their comrades in: "Master Zhan?"

Zhan Huize was the Minister of Personnel and Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, the head of the civil officials.

Nature is also unavoidable.
