For three consecutive days, the gate of Daning City was left open all night.

Zhu Xiongying's reputation is now well-known in Daning and Peiping!

Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, captured the Northern General and drove the capital commander to the front line. Instead, he went to the city to enjoy himself and met with the young lady privately every day.

In order to please the young lady, he stayed up all night at the city gate.

King Yan Zhu Di was stopped several times when he wanted to see Zhu Xiongying. No matter when he went, he always said he was sleeping!

Zhu Di:"This man has no big brother style, how can he be so disrespectful of the royal family?"

Xu Miaoyun was also confused:"I don't think Xiongying is that kind of person. Is this someone deliberately creating a message?"

Zhu Di said angrily:"I don't care about the throne. But you are not ashamed to do such a ridiculous thing, and what kind of rumors are you talking about? That little lady goes to the city every day, and sees countless people!"

Xu Miaoyun asked:"Since you have entered the city at this time, why does the city gate not close all night? ?"

Zhu Di:"It was said by our good nephew. He was telling the young lady to come and go freely, and it was all to show respect to the young lady! Ridiculous!"

Xu Miaoyun asked again:"Then why not stay in the city, but go out every day? Pick up and drop off on the same day?"

Zhu Di:"If you stay in the city, do you still call it a private meeting? I'm afraid it's not the same hobby as Cao Mengde!"

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

In Yingtian Mansion and Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned.

"Jiang Wei, what you said is true?"

Jiang Wei hurriedly said:"Your Majesty, how dare I make up such a big deal! Zhu

Yuanzhang looked at the Jin Yiwei secret report in his hand, and then said:"Xiong Ying is not afraid of death even if he breaks into the palace. With the methods of his Shenji Battalion, how can he be afraid of more than ten thousand remnants of Bei Yuan?"

As for this greed for beauty, have you found out who that woman is?

Jiang Wei replied:"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards in the north are short of manpower. Qie Huangsun is very cautious when picking up and dropping off every day. There is no investigation so far."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:"Isn't Taisun here yet?""

Jiang Wei:"I'm listening to the announcement outside the hall."

"Announcement."

Zhu Yunwen entered the palace and knelt down to salute Zhu Yuanzhang:"My grandson meets the emperor's grandfather!"

"Get up. Have you heard about your eldest brother?"

Zhu Yunwen replied:"Back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson has heard a little bit about it. Zhu

Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal Jiang Yu and others to step back, and said to Zhu Yunwen:"Then tell grandpa what you think.""

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's habit. When he said this, he meant that these words were spoken by his family members, and the same was true when Prince Zhu Biao was around. After seeing everyone exiting, Zhu Yunwen said:"Although it is inappropriate for my eldest brother to behave like this. Appropriate, but understandable.

He has been wandering outside for more than ten years, and now he has returned to the court and has the honor of being an emperor and grandson. Enjoying it is the behavior that a normal person should do and should not be overly harsh.

Although he behaves erratically and avoids fighting, which is a bit disrespectful to the emperor's grandfather, he is only two years older than his grandson after all. Although his grandson will definitely not act like this, the eldest brother has suffered a lot outside after all. The son thought it was excusable."

Zhu Yunwen seemed to be excusing Zhu Xiongying with every sentence, but every word he accused Zhu Xiongying of acting absurdly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after listening and said:"Well, you said there are extenuating circumstances, but you can run the country and the army, but you can't rely on it. excusable."

Zhu Yunwen replied:"Grandpa Huang, it is excusable. It is our family matter. As family members, we can understand his approach. However, the state has national laws and the military has military regulations. If you act like this without care, I am afraid that you will be dissatisfied with the civil and military forces.!

Zhu Yuanzhang asked:"Is this your own idea, or is it?"

Zhu Yunwen replied:"My grandson's own thoughts were just discussed with Master Huang."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:"So, Huang Zicheng said that he would not accept the crime without punishment?" Zhu

Yunwen thought for a moment and said:"This...Master Huang didn't say it clearly, but...it was just what my grandson felt from between the lines.""

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked him to step back. He was holding the secret report and didn't know what to think.

Zhu Yunwen left Qianqing Palace and returned to Chunhe Palace. Huang Zicheng did not leave.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen come back, he saluted and asked. :"Your Majesty, have you asked about King Yu? Zhu

Yunwen nodded, sat down, took a sip of tea, and said,"Thankfully Master Huang reminded me, otherwise I might have been in trouble today!" Huang Zicheng asked:"

Is it true that Your Majesty is unwilling to punish King Yu?" Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said:"

I didn't say it clearly, but……"

Then he recounted the conversation to Huang Zicheng.

After hearing this, Huang Zicheng pondered for a moment and said:"There are no flaws in His Highness's reply, but it is rare for His Majesty to pay attention to the opinions of minor ministers."

Zhu Yunwen said:"Grandpa Huang should be more concerned about the civil servants and generals in the court, Zhu Xiongying His behavior is too perverse. If Grandpa Huang considers civil and military ideas, then……"

Huang Zicheng said:"Your Highness wants to continue the method he did last time, unite the civil servants and join him in front of the palace?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said:"It is not enough to have civil servants alone. You must let the emperor see that everyone in the court has an interest in him." Even if his crime is not punished, it is impossible to use him again!"

Huang Zicheng hesitated and said:"We can unite several civil servants, but with this military honor, the ministers can't say anything."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:" Master Huang, don't worry, Wu Xun is here alone!"

Huang Zicheng said worriedly:"Your Highness, I am the companion of the East Palace, and I have a lot of contact with His Highness. This is natural, but as the prince, you contact important ministers privately, I'm afraid Isn't that inappropriate?"

Zhu Yunwen said sinisterly:"Don't be afraid. Zhu Xiongying acted so arrogantly and spoke arrogantly many times. Didn't he get the emperor's grandfather's card to mobilize troops? If I had always followed the rules, I'm afraid I would be considered even more... Cowardly."

Huang Zicheng also had no idea. No one could say whether Zhu Yunwen was right or wrong, otherwise there would be no such thing as"the king's heart is unpredictable".

The reason why they tried their best to create the image of Zhu Yunwen as a benevolent man was because they thought that over the past dynasties, the posthumous titles of emperors were: Wu was the founder of the country, and Wen was the successor.

From this, it can be concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang also had the same idea and wanted a successor who was gentle and refined and governed with benevolence. The canonization of Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson also confirmed this idea.

But now that Zhu Xiongying has returned, even though he threatened to usurp the throne, he was not punished. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang prefers a grandson like Zhu Xiongying?

Huang Zicheng can't guess the Hongwu Emperor's heart now!
