"Fourth brother, fourth brother, are you okay?"
Early in the morning, while Zhu Yunzhen was still sleeping, he was awakened by a burst of rapid shouting.
Opening his eyes, he saw Zhu Yunwen's expression full of concern.
"I heard that you were assassinated by an assassin last night. What happened?"
"It's okay!"
Zhu Yunxuan stretched.
He experienced too many things last night, and he thought about a lot. It was not until dawn that he could fall asleep.
Although it was already three o'clock in the morning, he was sleeping soundly. Unexpectedly, he was woken up by Zhu Yunwen.
Seeing the nervous look on his face, Zhu Yunxuan didn't feel like losing his temper.
Ying'er came forward with several palace ladies and helped him wash his face, brush his teeth and change his clothes.
"As long as you're okay, it'll be okay, as long as you're okay."
Zhu Yunwen kept talking, looking like he was greatly relieved.
A warmth flowed through Zhu Yunwen's heart. He could see that Zhu Yunwen really cared about him, his biological brother from the same mother.
"I don't know what's going on, Grandpa Huang. How old are you? How can I send you to do the murder?"
Zhu Yunwen complained.
Zhu Yunxuan had already put on his clothes under the waiting of the palace maid, and after washing, he said with a smile: "This is because the emperor dotes on me and looks for opportunities to train me."
Zhu Yunwen said dissatisfied: "That can't be like this. You are only seven years old. It is not a good thing to encourage others to grow."
Zhu Yunzhen didn't answer any more, not wanting to argue with him on this topic.
The conversation between them in front of the servants might soon reach Lao Zhu’s ears.
Zhu Yunzhen often couldn't figure out Lao Zhu's thoughts, he hid them too deeply.
But he subconsciously felt that it was better not to let Lao Zhu know about this kind of dispute between brothers.
Fortunately, after seeing that he was safe and sound, Zhu Yunwen did not pester him any more. Instead, he sat next to Zhu Yunwen and talked about another matter.
"Why didn't you go to trial for the Bu family's case and instead scolded Mr. Gu?"
When Zhu Yunwen said this, he glared at him and said, "You promised me to see Mr. Gu, but you found an excuse to study."
"Master Gu is the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture and an important minister of the imperial court. Even though you are the emperor's grandson, you should not treat him like this. It is too outrageous."
Zhu Yunwen pretended to be an elder brother and scolded him.
Zhu Yunzhen touched the back of his head, with a playful smile on his face, and said: "How old am I? How can I try a case? It doesn't look like sitting in the court."
"Although Grandpa Huang has handed over this case to me, he still needs to be investigated by Yin Tianfu, right?"
"You said this case is very complicated and may involve my great-uncle, so we should give him more time and investigate slowly."
"I won't go to court to examine the case, so Mr. Gu will have enough time to investigate the case."
"When everything is cleared up, I will go through a formality and decide the case in court. Wouldn't it be great?"
Zhu Yunwen thought about it seriously and said: "Listening to what you said, it does make some sense."
"I didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age and think so carefully."
"However, it is always not good to treat Mr. Gu like this. We cannot offend others casually."
Zhu Yunzhen thought to himself, are you so easily deceived?
After all, he doesn’t look very smart.
"It's okay, I scolded him, you go and comfort him."
"I will be the bad guy, and you will be the good guy."
"He hates me, but he is grateful to you. Isn't it great?"
Zhu Yunxuan said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm not fighting for the position of crown prince, so I don't need to win over the ministers. I'll play bad guy, which is fine."
Zhu Yunwen looked at him and said nothing for a long time. His expression was very complicated, and he seemed to be quite moved.
"Fourth brother...that's really wronging you...I..."
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "What are you talking about? We are biological brothers."
Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily, almost moved to tears.
"It's so easy to lie!" Zhu Yunzhen said silently in his heart.
Compared with the cunning old Zhu, Zhu Yunwen simply has a negative IQ.
"Grandpa Huang has decreed that Mr. Huang will be my teacher."
When Zhu Yunwen said this, he was quite happy.
Before that, although he invited Huang Zicheng to come to the government to discuss matters, it was only a private invitation after all, and now he has a public name.
"Mr. Qi was also promoted to the rank of Left Minister of the Ministry of War. Grandpa Huang also asked me to ask him for advice whenever I had anything to do, so that he could come to the mansion to teach me."
"Only Mr. Fang, he is obviously the most famous, but Grandpa Huang said that now is not the time to use him."
"Grandpa Huang said that he would be a professor in Hanzhong. Mr. Fang will leave Yingtian Mansion soon."
Zhu Yunwen sighed softly.
"Mr. Fang has great talent and is the leader of scholars in the world. It's a pity that he can't stay with me."
He was quite reluctant in his words.
Zhu Yunxuan listened silently.
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru are the team left by Lao Zhu to the next successor.
Although he thought they were three cobblers, at this time, the three of them had a very high reputation in the government and the opposition.
Huang Zicheng came first in the general examination, but during the palace examination, Lao Zhu asked him which year he was born. He was nervous and did not answer immediately.
Therefore, Lao Zhu lowered his imperial examination results from first place to third place.
He also went from No. 1 pick to No. 3 overall pick.
However, everyone in the government and the public still believed that Huang Zicheng had the talent to be the number one scholar.
Qi Tai is a very capable official.
He was born as a Jinshi and has never made a single mistake in his nine years as an official.
Because of this, he was appreciated by Lao Zhu.
He is diligent and very knowledgeable about the people and things in his charge.
In Zhu Yunxuan's unclear memory, he vaguely remembered that historically, the ideas this man gave to Emperor Jianwen were actually pretty reliable.
However, Zhu Yunwen did not listen to his advice very much.
Among the three, in terms of official positions, Fang Xiaoru currently has the lowest official rank.
But in terms of prestige between the government and the public, Fang Xiaoru is the highest.
He is a leader in the literary world. He has been known as "Little Han Yu" since he was a child, and he is highly respected by scholars.
In addition, Fang Xiaoru was respected as a moral model.
Even Lao Zhu admires him very much.
He even said to Zhu Biao: "This is a talented person with dignified conduct. You should keep using him until you grow old."
Later, when Fang Xiaoru was implicated, Lao Zhu deliberately released him.
Dao Yan, the prime minister in black, also said that Fang Xiaoru was the best scholar in the world, which shows how high his reputation is.
The three of them each have their own destination.
Although Fang Xiaoru is going to Hanzhong, it seems that he intends to leave it to the next emperor for recruitment as a favor.
Does Lao Zhu's arrangement mean to establish Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince?
A bad premonition gradually arose in Zhu Yunzhen's heart.
After working hard for so long, it’s all in vain?
Zhu Yunwen will still be the emperor, and then Zhu Di will rebel and he will be implicated and imprisoned...
Is history so difficult to change?
His heart slowly sank and became cold.
No, we can’t just give up.
Lao Zhu must be made to change his mind.
Zhu Yunxuan quickly freed himself.
Then I heard Zhu Yunwen say: "I'm going to see Mr. Fang off today. Fourth brother, will you come with me too?"
Zhu Yunxuan shook his head: "I won't go. I raided Sima Sheng's house yesterday according to the order, but I haven't replied to the emperor's order yet."
Zhu Yunwen didn’t force it.
He considered it for a moment and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
