Chapter 293: Go to Shanxi to check
"Your Majesty wants to test the abilities of the three grandchildren."
Yao Guangxiao chuckled, then changed his expression and looked at Zhu Di seriously, his tone becoming serious: "If Your Highness intervenes at this time, how will His Majesty see it?"
It was clear that Zhu Yuanzhang already had the intention of appointing a crown prince, and Zhu Di's intervention at this time made him seem too ambitious.
It was understandable that Zhu Di was angry when he saw his military achievements being wasted.
"you're right."
Zhu Di finally reacted at this moment and nodded in approval.
I was impulsive just now. If Yao Guangxiao hadn't stopped me in time, I don't know what I would have done.
Ever since the death of their eldest brother, these princes have no longer been qualified to compete for the position of crown prince.
There is no other reason, just to balance the princes.
After all, no matter which prince is appointed as the crown prince, it will make other powerful princes unhappy.
Even if Zhu Di had some military power in his hands at this moment, it was only a part of the Ming Dynasty's military force.
Others, such as Prince Ning Zhu Quan, were no weaker than him.
His only chance is when the old man dies and those younger generations are still struggling to gain a firm foothold.
Before that, he still has to do his duty as a prince.
"I just reminded Your Highness. Even if I didn't say it, Your Highness would be able to react."
In the face of Zhu Di's thanks, Yao Guangxiao did not dare to take credit for it, but just continued to chuckle.
After hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, Zhu Di calmed down and looked at Yao Guangxiao.
"By the way, how is Hu Wei?"
It was obvious that Hu Wei was a thorn in Zhu Ming's side in the army. Although he was just a garrison and not a big deal, he still had to be cautious.
Therefore, after Hu Wei received the reward, he always asked Yao Guangxiao to monitor him.
"There's nothing unusual, just daily training and drinking."
Yao Guangxiao shook his head in disappointment. Hu Wei had not shown any abnormality in the past few days in the army.
Even when he tried it himself, he couldn't find any flaws.
Either this person has unfathomable intentions, or he is truly naive.
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhu Di also looked at Yao Guangxiao with some surprise. He didn't expect that even he didn't notice the abnormality of Hu Wei.
"But he's so carefree, he doesn't look like a soldier at all, nor does he look like a hunter."
Yao Guangxiao touched his chin. It would not be appropriate to say that there was nothing abnormal about Hu Wei.
His every move was inconsistent with what Zhu Ming said about him being a hunter in the mountains. Instead, he looked like a bandit.
He is careless and calls all the soldiers "brothers" all the time, with a bandit-like demeanor.
"did you mean?"
After being reminded by Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di began to ponder that a person's habits are not so easy to change.
If this Hu Wei was really a bandit as Yao Guangxiao said, it was very likely that he was not born a hunter.
"Yao Guangxiao, send someone to Shanxi to find out the details of Hu Wei."
If Hu Wei's background is really false, even if he can't let my father do anything to Zhu Ming.
But after being deceived by Zhu Ming this time, my father will respect Zhu Ming less.
My father is a person who hates being deceived the most.
"Well, I'll do it right away."
Yao Guangxiao nodded affirmatively, agreed, then raised his head with some concern: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Di naturally knew that Yao Guangxiao was afraid that he would be impulsive again and cause trouble for His Majesty, so he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid yet."
After all, he is the King of Yan, and he won't lose his mind so easily.
"Then I will go down first."
Only then did Yao Guangxiao nod and retreat.
"You said he wouldn't get involved in this?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunhuan, who was sitting opposite him, with some surprise, his eyes wide open, still finding it hard to believe what he had just heard.
This guy Zhu Ming will actually take the initiative to withdraw this time?
"At least that's what he told me."
Zhu Yunhuan still waved his hand casually, and he did not judge whether what Zhu Ming said was true or he was lying to them.
Anyway, Zhu Yunwen's behavior had nothing to do with him.
"You, aren't you plotting something with him?"
Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's nonchalant look, Zhu Yunwen recalled the last time when Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Ming were in Daming Palace and were hiding there discussing something with him.
In fact, he was not unaware that his younger brother was not on his side, but was close to Zhu Ming, an outsider.
"If my brother doesn't believe me, I won't argue."
Zhu Yunhuan just glanced at Zhu Yunwen casually out of the corner of his eye, and he was just a messenger.
Whether Zhu Yunwen believed it or not was none of his business.
"But instead of doubting the truth of this matter, it is better to think about how to write a memorial that will satisfy Grandpa Huang."
As Zhu Yunhuan spoke, he picked up a blank memorial from the desk beside him and waved it in front of Zhu Yunwen.
"Is that right, my brother?"
Zhu Yunhuan deliberately emphasized the word "imperial brother" as if he was reminding Zhu Yunwen.
Now, I am still his younger brother.
"Humph."
Zhu Yunwen then sat back down, took the memorial from Zhu Yunhuan, glanced at it, and then looked up at Zhu Yunhuan: "What about you, how would you write it?"
This matter about the Emperor's grandfather was not something that only Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Ming were asked to write about. Zhu Yunhuan also needed an answer.
This also shows that Zhu Yunhuan has not completely lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince.
At least, if he performed well enough, he could still compete with them.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen did not completely let down his guard against Zhu Yunhuan.
"It's nothing more than opening up trade, allowing the eighteen tribes on the grassland to exchange horses for some supplies, and easing the relationship between the two tribes."
Facing Zhu Yunwen's questioning, Zhu Yunhuan's answers were still casual.
"Compared to my brother and Zhu Ming, I am dispensable, right?"
He raised his eyebrows at Zhu Yunwen and asked back in a frivolous tone.
As he spoke, he took out another blank memorial and opened it in front of him.
"Someone, grind the ink."
He picked up the brush and shouted.
When the palace maid outside the door heard the shouting, she immediately ran in and helped Zhu Yunhuan write.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen stopped arguing with Zhu Yunhuan and started writing as well.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the Daming Palace, finished reviewing the last memorial in his hand, and stretched.
Fortunately, the world has been relatively peaceful recently, so he no longer has to work on memorials until late at night.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by the emperor's grandchildren."
Yun Qi, who was standing by, watched Zhu Yuanzhang finally finish reviewing all the memorials. He then took a step forward, took out two memorials from his arms and handed them to him: "Your Majesty, please review them."
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial handed over by Yun Qi, was stunned at first, then he slapped his forehead before he suddenly reacted.
I have been so absorbed in official duties these days that I almost forgot about these things.
