Yao Guangxiao just listened quietly, he knew that what Zhu Di needed most now was not his persuasion, but venting, he only needed to be an audience.

Zhu Di chattered a lot about the past between their brothers back then, and the whole person was a little drunk, looking at the bright moon in the sky, hehe laughed.

said silently in his heart, eldest brother, although Zhu Yunwen is unkind, I, Zhu Di, will not be unjust, no matter what, I will always let him go.

The next day, Zhu Di took Xu, Zhu Gaochi, Dao Yan and several cronies under his command into Beijing, and this time he was the heir of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Di doesn't like Nanjing, since he is going to be the prince, he can't care too much about these little things.

However, in half a month, Zhu Di rode a fast horse and came to the capital, but before he had time to wash, he was called to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang with an edict.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the courtyard, hammering his waist, and sighed with emotion, he was getting old.

I am really old, a few years ago, I could still wield a hoe, but now it is so difficult to weed the little land planted in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, so he naturally understands that there must be eunuchs quietly taking care of the plots in the palace, but even so, it is difficult for him to come to cultivate again.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was closing his eyes and recuperating, a eunuch hurriedly came in and whispered that the prince was here.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked him to call Zhu Di in.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Di who walked over, and in a trance, he seemed to see himself when he was young, heroic and martial.

I can see that Zhu Di is still very tired, and he has been on the road for more than half a month, how can he not be tired?

But Zhu Di's spirit is very good, and this alone compares Zhu Yunwen to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the stone bench next to him and asked Zhu Di to sit here.

Zhu Di was a little restrained, sitting quietly on the stone bench, quietly listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's lecture.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not open his mouth to train people, but praised Zhu Didao.

"Fourth, you did a good job in Peking, unexpectedly good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has always known this, but he was just stingy with complimenting Zhu Di before.

You must know that now the northeast direction of Daming is all taken care of by Zhu Di, and with He Qiu's help to make a lot of new things, such as cement, blast furnace, salt drying and so on.

Today's Zhu Di, with a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, has forced many tribes on the grassland to stop, and he does not dare to violate the Ming border again.

Moreover, he attacked outside the fortress, conquered Liaodong, set up a new capital division, and expanded the territory for the Ming Dynasty, even the nobles in the army also admired him very much.

There are few nobles of the same age as him in the Ming army who can compare with him, maybe Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu is handsome and talented, and he can compare with him.

But Xu Huizu has been pressed by Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, and he has not gone through the war, and it is difficult to say how much talent he has left to command operations.

What's more, now the new talented generals in the Ming Army are all under Zhu Di, which is also a constraint of reality.

After all, if you want to get ahead in the army, you must first have a war, but now there are still wars on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and only the Beiping area remains.

The small battles of the Tusi in Yunnan relied more on the political means of the local governor than on the military means.

Zhu Di was not proud at all, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang very respectfully.

"Compared with the father of the emperor, the means of the sons and daughters are still too simple."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed dumbly, he didn't expect that Zhu Di, this guy, would also pat his ass, and what he said was so comfortable.

Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang is very proud, from a cloth cloth, or even a beggar, to become the lord of the world all the way.

During the period, he experienced a hundred battles, which is much more difficult than Zhu Di's road, and the world now only knows that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are famous generals in the world, but they forget that Zhu Yuanzhang was better at fighting than them.

After Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, he sighed.

"Do you know why I made you the crown prince?"

Zhu Di said sonorously.

"For the sake of changing the law!"

"Yes, in order to change the law, for the sake of my Ming dynasty, not only for thousands of generations, but as much as possible to extend the national glory."

"Our Central Plains has gone through so many dynasties, and I have also seen it, I am afraid that there is no real thousand-year dynasty in this world."

"Originally, I liked your eldest brother very much, although he was benevolent, but there was no shortage of means, and he was also very prestigious in the court for so many years, but ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but burst into tears, this is his favorite son.

Zhu Di's heart also has some bad feelings, that is, the highest status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is still the dead Zhu Biao.

However, Zhu Di soon became less careful, no matter what, after all, it was him Zhu Di who had the last laugh, didn't he?

Then Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"Later, I set up Yunwen as the grandson, and I did feel that he was filial, but I also saw that since the third child dared to walk with the local people who resisted the change of the law and assassinated the prince, what kind of thoughts do you other vassal kings have?"

"For the sake of the stability of the country, I would rather set up Yun Wei again, and reduce the conflict between the court and China because of the internal friction of you vassal kings."

"Erchen knows."

Zhu Yuanzhang then sighed.

"But I didn't expect that Yun Wei would be so unworthy of the task, alienated from Lan Yu, resisted the change, and lacked responsibility, but he stood very close to those local gentry."

"This makes me have to worry, one day in the future, when someone dies in the Ming Dynasty, it will even be ugly, if you really let Yun Wei be the Son of Heaven, will you listen to him honestly?"

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly, of course he would not be stupid enough to admit that he was even ready to rebel.

But who Zhu Yuanzhang is, he saw Zhu Di's weakness at a glance, and sneered a few times.

Then he said to Zhu Di seriously.

"I am already sixty and two, and I am old, even if I have much less control over the court, as for the change of law, I can only implement it reluctantly, relying on the prestige that I killed."

"The burden of changing the law will be on you, you must not let me down."

Zhu Di nodded vigorously and swore an oath.

"Erchen will definitely change the law and push the Ming Dynasty to continue to move forward."

The atmosphere between father and son suddenly relaxed, and Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated but still said to Zhu Di.

"I have one last request left, I hope you can treat your eldest brother's heirs well, at least to ensure Yun Xi's status, as for the rest, you can decide."

Zhu Yuanzhang's implication is that no matter how Zhu Di treats Zhu Yunwen in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows very well in his heart that once Zhu Di ascends the throne, Zhu Yunwen, who used to be the grandson, will not be able to please after all.

Even if you get Zhu Di's guarantee now, what's the use? At that time, it was definitely not Zhu Di who wanted to kill him, but Zhu Di's group of courtiers.

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, before he came, he thought about keeping Zhu Yunwen together, but now Zhu Yuanzhang means that Zhu Yunwen's situation can be guaranteed, and if he can't keep it, he will have more choices.
