Chapter 29: Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King of the Grassland (Please read, vote for the monthly ticket, and recommend!)
"Dad, I'm going to the side hall to get some fresh air."
In this extremely awkward atmosphere, Zhu Biao could not help it, so he raised his head and said, then ran into the side hall like a bolt of lightning.
"."
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao who was fleeing in panic, and he wanted to go in and slap Zhu Biao twice. Didn't he know how to say a few words for his father?
"Son, Dad is afraid that there will be a rift between you brothers."
"I definitely don't mean to be partial. You and the boss are both my favorites. How could I be partial to you?"
In this stalemate between father and son, and in order to resolve the drawbacks of the royal family inheritance system, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to speak first with a thick face.
"Heart tip?"
"Old man, you have a sharp heart?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gang still sneered without even turning his head.
"Pfft-"
As soon as these words were spoken, two chuckles were heard in the side hall, which instantly made Lao Zhu's face freeze again.
And there was no need for Zhu to think, he was sure that it must be Empress Ma and Concubine Guo Hui who were eavesdropping, and of course that little bastard Zhu Biao must have been there too.
But Old Zhu could only let out a helpless bitter smile. It was said that the emperor was above everyone else, but why didn't he feel that way at all?
Back home, Empress Ma was the one who had the final say.
When facing my son, beating him is not right, and scolding him is not right either. I am so picky about him, but can I be so picky?
What kind of emperor is this?
Suddenly, Lao Zhu began to miss the days when he conquered the world.
"Stop it, little brat. Dad was wrong. Is this okay?"
Then Old Zhu stood up and came to the opposite side of Zhu Gang. He looked at Zhu Gang helplessly and said.
"Sister, did I hear you right?"
Concubine Guo Hui, who was hiding in a side hall and eavesdropping, couldn't believe her ears, so she looked at Empress Ma beside her and asked with a stuttering voice.
Old Zhu is actually admitting his mistake?
Or admit your mistake to your son?
This is simply unprecedented!
Everyone knows that Lao Zhu has a stubborn temper like a bull, so if you want him to admit his mistake, forget it.
After all, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was really wrong after he ascended the throne and founded the country, the saying still applies: the emperor is not wrong, the emperor will not be wrong.
But today, for the first time ever, he admitted his mistake to his son?
"He was indeed admitting his mistake. You heard it right."
Queen Ma waved her hand nonchalantly, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely made any serious mistakes, and he always apologized to Empress Ma.
But in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang was still the overbearing emperor and he would never admit his mistakes.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had been strong all his life, and it was no wonder that Empress Ma was surprised when he suddenly admitted his mistakes to his son.
"Will you still admit your mistake?"
Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked a little helpless, and spoke with some surprise.
"You don't admit your mistake? Do you think I'll destroy you?"
Hearing this, Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Gang in annoyance again, then pulled over the chair where Zhu Biao had just sat and sat down.
After another pause, Old Zhu looked at Zhu Gang and curled his lips and said, "You little bastard, you just rely on the fact that you are our son."
What he said was indeed true. If Zhu Gang was not Lao Zhu's son, Lao Zhu would have cut Zhu Gang into pieces in the next moment, not to mention asking him to admit his mistake.
"Since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will reluctantly forgive you."
A smile also appeared on Zhu Gang's face, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
"Then I really thank you. I am so biased, but you are still willing to forgive me."
Old Zhu couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and looked at Zhu Gang in a sarcastic tone.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." "My own father, my own father."
Zhu Gang naturally heard Lao Zhu's sarcasm, but he just waved his hand and smiled without caring.
"You are indeed our father."
Old Zhu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang embarked on the road to conquer the world, he has suffered many losses. Even Chen Youliang was no match for him, but it happened to be his own third son.
The tricks that Old Zhu fell into and the losses he suffered could be written into a sad history.
And even so, Old Zhu still has to clean up Zhu Gang's mess and is still reluctant to blame him. If this isn't a father, then what is he?
After all, he was the apple of his eye since childhood. Moreover, after Zhu Gang was born, Zhu was still working hard to start his own business and had not yet thought about becoming an emperor.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was always afraid that he had spoiled Zhu Gang, causing Zhu Gang to develop a desire to compete for the throne, leading to a quarrel among the brothers and fratricide.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he also thought about neglecting Zhu Gang to ensure that his eldest son's position as crown prince would not be shaken by any of his sons, including Zhu Gang.
It's just that there is a rebellious son, and he is a very favored one. You can't ignore him even if you want to. It's because Zhu Gang is so good at making trouble. He almost made Zhu laugh.
"Old man, let me say this one last time. As long as you and my elder brother are on the throne, I will never rebel in my life."
Then Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in deep thought, and said in a serious voice.
"Are you trying to seize your nephew's throne?"
But as the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." After dealing with Zhu Gang for so many years, Old Zhu naturally learned a lot, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!
I'm suing you for defamation, did you know that?
I'm suing you for defamation!
He slandered me!
He is slandering me!
Cough
So facing Old Zhu's suspicion, Zhu Gang was almost stunned. After all, has Old Zhu become so cunning in his view of things now?
"The eldest is your eldest son, and Xiongying is your eldest grandson, so from your side, I am Xiongying's uncle."
"And counting from Uncle Chang's side, I am Xiongying's uncle. How desperate would I be to try to snatch the throne from my eldest nephew?"
Then Zhu Gang rolled his eyes and looked at Old Zhu.
"Ah."
Lao Zhu was also stunned by this, but he finally nodded. Although he always felt something was wrong, he didn't think much about it.
After all, what Zhu Gang said made sense. Besides, how could Zhu not know his son's temper?
So maybe there was something wrong, or maybe Lao Zhu was just overthinking it.
"Then is it still hypothetical?"
At this moment, a weak voice sounded.
Zhu Gang and Old Zhu looked back and saw Zhu Biao standing behind them. He scratched his head awkwardly but politely.
"You little brat, don't you want to go in and get some fresh air?" Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao unhappily.
"Isn't this enough to breathe?"
It was still Zhu Biao's awkward yet polite smile.
"Pooh." Zhu Gang and Lao Zhu spat at the same time.
Zhu Biao: “.”
"Forget it, let's get back to the point. Suppose I'm the emperor and you're a minister, then what's the problem with me making you the king of the grassland?"
The corner of Zhu Gang's mouth curled up slightly, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Biao.
"Ah? The grassland is in our hands?"
Zhu Biao spoke without even thinking about it.
