Chapter 54 The idealistic Lao Zhu family.

Interrupted by Xia Yuanji, the atmosphere in the palace relaxed a lot.

As the new bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, Yang Shiqi was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the foundation of the country and is the foundation of the inheritance of the country. Whether it is a rumor or true, we must investigate it thoroughly and give an explanation to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, all ministers and the people of the world.

.”

Other Er Yang also stood up.

"I second the proposal!"

The civil and military officials all stood up when they saw San Yang, and noticed that Zhu Di also wanted to investigate thoroughly, so they also stood up and supported the proposal.

Zhu Di nodded solemnly.

"What you dear ladies are saying makes sense. It just so happens that everyone is here today, so let's make everything clear."

After that, Zhu Di ordered the guards outside the door: "Go to the imperial kitchen and bring the two maids over. Also, call the princess over. She is the mother of the child. She may have any clues.

"

After the guards left, everyone waited quietly.

Many people looked at Zhu Zhangui with complicated eyes, thinking about some things.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a strange expression.

He didn't expect that in order to legitimately become his grandson, the old man would resort to this method.

At the same time, Zhu Zhangui also understood what the old man meant.

The old man wanted to inherit the throne legitimately, and he did not want to have a falling out with Zhu Zhanji in the future, or even a direct war with him.

Soon, two elderly female officers were escorted in.

Behind him was the Crown Princess Zhang who had not changed into court clothes.

"See your majesty, your majesty, the Holy Spirit!"

Looking at the eldest daughter-in-law with a complicated expression, Zhu Di sighed inwardly.

He understood that his eldest daughter-in-law might not agree with his decision.

"Get up, you should know the matter by now, right?"

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and nodded.

"You are the mother of the child. When you gave birth, Grandma Wen should have told you about the characteristics of the child. Do you still remember it now?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui also looked at Mrs. Zhang expectantly.

The two communicated quickly with their eyes.

Mrs. Zhang: Son, my mother made a decision today. Don’t let your brother down in the future.

Zhu Zhangui: Mom, don’t worry, as long as my eldest brother doesn’t do anything sorry for me, I guarantee that he will be safe and sound for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Zhang: I hope you can keep your word, otherwise, my mother will never forgive you in this life.

After a brief eye contact between mother and son, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhu Di and nodded: "After the birth of the two children, Po Wen did tell me about their characteristics. Later, when the emperor held Zhan Ji in his arms, he decided on a grandson.

, I feel like I made a mistake.”

"Later I confirmed with Mrs. Wen, and she risked her life to vouch for the error. She said that the reason why I felt that way was because I had hallucinations due to postpartum weakness and misheard what they said."

"In addition, our family did not have the status we have now at that time. Even if I was wrong, it would be the same no matter who was older or younger. But then so many things happened that my daughter-in-law did not dare to say anything even if she wanted to say it.

"

After listening to Crown Princess Zhang's story, all civil and military officials in the court nodded in understanding.

If Zhu Di was still King of Yan, the competition for family succession would not be as fierce as between princes.

Even if Zhu Zhanji inherits the throne of King Yan, Zhu Zhangui, as the second legitimate son, may be awarded the title of King in accordance with royal rules.

Although they are just ordinary kings, the difference is not too big.

But among princes, it's different.

There is a world of difference between the eldest and the second child.

As long as the boss is good enough and doesn't make any big mistakes, his succession to the throne is certain.

And if the second child has ideas, he will have no other choice but to rebel before the eldest brother dies in an accident.

So everyone can understand why the Crown Princess never mentioned this matter again.

Zhu Di pointed at Mrs. Zhang and wanted to say a few words, but seeing her sad look, he could only wave his hand helplessly and asked Zhu Pangpang to take Mrs. Zhang aside first.

After Zhang was pulled aside by Zhu Pangpang, Zhu Di looked at the two female officials kneeling on the ground with a cold face.

"What else do you have to say?"

The two female officials, who already knew the outcome, knelt down and kowtowed with lifeless expressions.

"My slave was obsessed with things at the time and deserves death. Please forgive me for the many years that I have served the royal family. Please spare my family."

"snort!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Kill to death!"

Several royal guards rushed in and dragged two ashen-faced female officials out.

The two female officials did not resist, and allowed the guards to pull them, looking straight at Zhu Di.

When all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and remained silent, Zhu Di nodded slightly, as if he had agreed to something.

Seeing Zhu Di nod, the two female officers showed relieved smiles and gritted their teeth hard.

Not long after, their eyes gradually lost their luster.

The Jin Yiwei who dragged the two of them out seemed to be collectively blinded.

Two Jinyi guards covered the two corpses with sacks, dragged them to a certain distance, and then began the execution.

The hall fell silent again.

No one dared to take the lead, everyone was waiting for Zhu Di's decision.

Who is the boss between the two? It doesn't matter what the civil and military officials or even Zhu Pangpang and his wife say.

Only Zhu Di can decide the identities of two people.

As long as Zhu Di speaks, no matter whether it is true or false, the name Zhu Di speaks will be the boss and the future grandson.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Di seemed to have a hard time deciding.

He sat on the dragon chair and held his forehead with his hand, silent for a long time.

Zhu Zhangui's heart was already in his throat now.

The old man's next decision will affect his future choices.

Zhu Zhangui has two plans for the future, each based on his own identity.

Becoming a grandson is a kind of plan. If you are not a grandson, it is another way.

Although based on the current situation, the chance of becoming the boss is very high.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

It's hard to guess what the old man is thinking.

Zhu Zhangui could not guarantee whether the old man would change his mind temporarily and let himself become an assistant minister, and work together with Zhu Zhanji to create a beautiful Ming Dynasty.

There is no way, people in Lao Zhu's family are all idealists.

Zhu Yuanzhang is like that.

I always want to develop Ming Dynasty into a big family. Everyone has their own identity and profession. Everyone works together to contribute to the big family of Ming Dynasty and create a harmonious small farmer society.

Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, who was completely corrupted by Confucianism and always dreamed of developing the Ming Dynasty into a Confucian ideal country.

And what about Zhu Di?

Yongle Grand Ceremony, Zheng He's voyages to the West, five expeditions to Mobei, and moving the capital to the border...

This is one thing that other emperors have accomplished, let alone all of them. Completing one of them is a great achievement.

As a result, Zhu Di was stunned to have finished everything.

The mentality of a person like Zhu Di is to finish everything that needs to be done so that future generations can enjoy happiness.

Zhu Di completely inherited his father Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​a big family.

And people who are good at fantasy and practice often have changeable thinking.

Before the matter is completely settled, an idea that you think is better may suddenly pop up, thus negating the decision made previously.

In this way, under the gaze of Zhu Zhangui and Manchao Civil and Military, Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

Everyone understood that the old man had already made a decision in his heart.

Who will be the eldest grandson, Zhu Zhanji or Zhu Zhangui?

It's all in the old man's words.
