Chapter 239: Preference
"Father, the son admitted that he had a good conversation with the prince, but he didn't know why the prince insisted on making the prince the prince, and the son did not have the slightest covetousness, please let the emperor know."
Zhu Gui bowed his head again and said.
He didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang could convict him with this letter, and what crime could he convict? Is it 'unwarranted'?
If this is the case, he can have a clear mind, and many things that he didn't dare to think about before can be considered in the future.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this consideration that the originally weak momentum on Zhu Gui's body became stronger at this time, which made Zhu Yuanzhang frown.
He summoned Zhu Gui today naturally not to convict him, but to beat him.
Because recently, Zhu Yunwen often mentioned the matter of 'cutting the domain' in front of him, the reason is that these imperial uncles of his have heavy troops in their hands, which is a big threat to the imperial court, and now that the threat of the Northern Yuan has been lifted, it is also a big burden for all places to maintain heavy troops at the border passes.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't believe that Zhu Yunwen thought of these words himself, and he had already noticed that Lan Yu and Fang Xiaoru were very close to Zhu Yunwen.
Especially Fang Xiaoru, his thinking is very radical, if he wasn't very central, Zhu Yuanzhang would want to get rid of him.
Now hearing Zhu Gui's words, Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but think of the prince Zhu Biao's instructions when he was dying.
However, no matter what Zhu Biao says, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind will not change, but how to deal with Zhu Gui has become a difficult problem.
It stands to reason that he wants to cure Zhu Gui's sins, and there can be many reasons, but if he really wants to do this, presumably Zhu Gui will not be convinced.
And when I think that Zhu Gui is so 'rich', maybe it will be better to hand over this matter to Zhu Yunwen after he ascends the throne.
That's right, just do it.
Zhu Yuanzhang already had a way to dispose of Zhu Gui in his heart, and decided to turn around and tell Zhu Yunwen how to operate, which can be regarded as an asset he left to Zhu Yunwen.
After figuring this out, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved a lot.
"Okay, Zhu Gui, get up, I just have some doubts when I summoned you this time, and now that these doubts have been solved, then it's okay."
Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden change in attitude made Zhu Gui a little confused.
But that's not a bad thing for him.
In the next hour, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully inquired about Zhu Gui's situation after arriving in Yunzhou.
On the surface, it seems that a father cares about his child.
However, Zhu Gui had a strange feeling, he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang cared about him, he must have some 'conspiracy' against him.
But as emperor, is it necessary for him to use conspiracy? This is where Zhu Gui is strange.
Unless he has something compelled to do so.
Zhu Gui looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang's old and haggard face, and suddenly understood something.
It turns out that this is not a relationship with him, but a search for his details.
As for the reason, it is natural to leave Zhu Yunwen an 'asset'.
Zhu Yuanzhang may not have expected that after his death, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, would rebel.
But with his love for Zhu Yunwen, he can completely regard Zhu Gui as a 'gift' for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
At least with Yunzhou's current strength, it is impossible to compete with the imperial court at all, and this is what Zhu Yuanzhang expected, so in his Kalai, even if Zhu Yunwen, the new emperor, has any rude requests, Zhu Gui can't refuse at all.
Thinking about this, Zhu Gui couldn't help but feel sad.
Obviously, they are all descendants of the Zhu family, but Zhu Yuanzhang's 'eccentricity' is too obvious.
This is the beginning of the real cruelty within the real royal family.
Fortunately, Zhu Gui did not have the idea of asking Zhu Yuanzhang for credit, so he said many things very vaguely.
For example, he weakened the role of the Datong Chamber of Commerce in Yunzhou, and did not even mention Datong Qianzhuang at all.
As for the combat strength of the Yunzhou army, he said that it was very miserable, and it took several battles that were almost annihilated to win the Mongols, and there was no mention of the flintlock pistol at all.
So even if Zhu Yuanzhang paved the way for Zhu Yunwen and wanted to take Yunzhou to open the knife, he would only suffer a loss at that time.
Not to mention that when the Battle of Jingjing breaks out, whether Zhu Yunwen has a chance to do anything to him is two words.
Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to notice Zhu Gui's perfunctory, and finally drove him away directly.
He originally wanted to personally send someone to investigate Zhu Gui's details, but the Jinyi Guard had already been withdrawn, and even if he sent people now, it would probably be a few months before the information came back.
And Zhu Yuanzhang already had a premonition that he would not be able to hold on until that time.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then called someone to summon Zhu Yunwen.
"Grandpa." Zhu Yunwen stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, let Zhu Yuanzhang take his hand and said: "Yunwen, your father will be mourned the day after tomorrow, and then the imperial grandfather will canonize you as the new prince." ”
Zhu Yunwen immediately knelt down: "Yunwen is panicking. ”
"You don't have to worry, since the imperial grandfather has done this, he is naturally fully prepared, Fang Xiaoru and Xu Guogong are both capable ministers of the world, plus Lan Yu and Li Jinglong, they can naturally ensure that you have no worries about the throne."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a tone of entrusting the future.
"Yes."
Zhu Yunwen had actually expected this situation for a long time, and he had already been mentally prepared during this time.
But just as he was still about to speak, he suddenly found a letter on the ground.
And the handwriting on the letter is still very familiar.
If it was in the past, Zhu Yunwen would never do such a thing as peeking at the letter, but at this time, he had a feeling of complacency, so he carefully looked at the content on it.
It's just that the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, because this letter was not only from his father's hand, but also recommended Zhu Yuanzhang to act as the crown prince Zhu Gui.
Zhu Yunwen's heart was shocked, and then he thought that before he came, he heard the eunuch mention that the emperor had summoned Zhu Gui before him, and this letter was left here, could it be that the emperor's grandfather was discussing with him about the canonization of the crown prince?
Did Grandpa Huang change his mind? Can he still become a crown prince?
If his father, Zhu Biao, had just fallen ill, Zhu Yunwen really didn't have much ambition for the position of prince, and he did feel that Zhu Gui was more suitable for the position of prince than him.
But now that he has tacitly agreed in his heart that he will take over the crown prince, what should he do if the imperial grandfather changes his mind?
"Yun Wei? Are you listening to me? Zhu Yuanzhang found that Zhu Yunwen was distracted, and couldn't help reminding.
"Ah, the emperor and grandson are listening, the emperor's grandfather is talking about the emperor's uncle, right?" Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said.
"That's right, Grandpa Huang wants you to move all the people of Yunzhou to Nanjing after you ascend the throne."
"Huh?"
