The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 310 Supporting Zhu Yunwen

"And this Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, comes from the powerful Lü family of Jiangnan. She belongs to the ranks of our aristocratic families. If her son inherits that position, she would actually treat us scholars well!"

"Please rest assured, everyone. Zhu Yunwen's teaching methods have always been in accordance with those of us scholars. Moreover, he has a natural affinity for us, so nothing will go wrong!"

Meng Ziru still had some worries.

"However, I've heard that Zhu Yunwen's abilities aren't that great. Compared to Zhu Xiong Ying, he's far inferior, and I'm afraid he might not even be able to compare with Zhu Xiong Ying!"

Kong Ximing was very confident in his teaching methods.

"It all depends on human effort. Whether we succeed or not depends on what we do. Although we still control a lot of power, the relationship between the scholar and him is definitely not good. With the support of the scholar, our chances of winning will be much greater!"

"I've heard that many of the nobles in Huaixi are quite dissatisfied with Zhu Xiong Ying. Although many of them are no longer in the army, there are still many in the army who listen to them. If they raise their voices, they will definitely be an extremely powerful force!"

If people hear this and get excited, then the chances of this succeeding are quite high.

Inside Renshou Palace at this time.

The young eunuch beside him recounted what Zhu Xiong Ying had said to those scholars at the palace gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely pleased with what Zhu Xiong Ying had said.

"see it?"

"This is our eldest grandson!"

"I told you, our Sun family can definitely handle this matter properly, right? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao sighed; he hadn't expected Zhu Xiong Ying to resolve the conflict in this way.

"Father is indeed wise!"

"Indeed, I didn't expect that U.A. would be able to resolve this matter so easily!"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble worrying in this one place!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.

"Your concerns are valid, but you need to understand one thing: Zhu Xiong Ying is no ordinary person!"

"The reason we chose him for that position was because of his abilities. He was born for this position. Now, it's you, his father, who lacks confidence in him!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but inwardly complain.

He couldn't blame himself; it was just that U.A. sometimes went too far, and he was genuinely terrified.

Especially when he heard that Zhu Xiong Ying had publicly denounced Kong Xi Ming, the sage of the Kong family, in the imperial court, his heart nearly jumped into his throat. Kong Xi Ming was a representative of all scholars in the land.

It would be strange if Zhu Xiong Ying didn't cause trouble by doing this in front of so many scholars.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiong Ying knew his limits and ultimately did not kill Kong Ximing, the Duke Yansheng of the Kong family.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was extremely grim.

"How dare these guys treat our grandson like this."

I will absolutely not let this guy get away with this!

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was extremely depressed.

He simply looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said...

“Father, it’s great that Xiong Ying has already resolved this matter. You don’t need to add to the trouble. Since Xiong Ying can handle it, then leave this matter to him. Father, you’ve worked hard for most of your life, you should take a rest!” Zhu Yuanzhang nodded upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Since I took this position, I've been walking on thin ice, afraid of not doing a good job. Now, after so many years, although there are some regrets, overall it's been pretty good!"

"My biggest worry before was the succession of my Great Ming Dynasty, so I wholeheartedly wanted to cultivate you into a suitable successor. Therefore, I was very strict with you in many aspects!"

"Furthermore, I also hope to enfeoff your group of younger brothers in various places, so that they can help you guard a region. I also have some selfish motives!"

"I never imagined that the solution I thought I had come up with after thinking about it for so long would be so worthless in the eyes of that kid Zhu Xiong Ying!"

"I was quite shocked when U.A. told me about these things before we even saw the consequences. But now it's all good. With the Cabinet and U.A. here watching over things, nothing will happen!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this, and upon reflection, realized that he himself had not returned to the Eastern Palace for quite some time.

I've been staying in Renshou Palace for a while now, just wanting some peace and quiet.

Thinking of this, he decided to go back and take a look.

At this time, the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, returned to her parents' home with Zhu Yunwen.

During this period, he visited Zhu Yunwen's family many times, hoping that his family could help and support him.

However, even her maternal family, the Lü clan, was unwilling to have any involvement.

His father, Lü Chang, also spoke of Zhu Xiong Ying's behavior in the palace. Now, Zhu Xiong Ying's power had grown so strong that they were no longer capable of dealing with him. Going against Zhu Xiong Ying now would be tantamount to courting death.

The Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, was extremely unwilling upon hearing these words.

Lady Chang has been dead for so many years. Although she is now in charge of the Eastern Palace, everyone knows that she is just a concubine and His Highness the Crown Prince has never intended to make her the official wife.

If she cannot be made the Crown Princess, her son Yunwen will never become the legitimate heir, and it will be very difficult for him to compete for that position later.

Just thinking about that place gave him a headache.

Today, his maternal family brought him some good news: Kong Ximing, the Duke Yansheng of the Kong family, wants to take Zhu Yunwen as his disciple.

He didn't know much about the changes in the outside world, but he was very happy when he heard that the Duke of Yansheng wanted to take his son as his apprentice.

This was a very good thing for his son, Zhu Yunwen.

After the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, arrived at the Lü family with her son, Zhu Yunwen.

He was immediately stunned by what he saw. It turned out that in addition to the Kong family, the Cheng, Zhu, and Meng families had also arrived at this place.

No words.

The message is the same: unconditionally support Zhu Yunwen in whichever position he chooses.

As he spoke, he became very excited. If such a day were to come, he might become the rightful Empress Dowager, and his son might even become the Emperor.

Finally, someone recognized his son's worth, and he felt extremely proud of himself.

Seeing how agitated the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, was, the Lü family members couldn't bear to discourage him.

Kong Ximing of the Kong family breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Crown Prince's concubine looking so happy.

Otherwise, if they think exactly the same thing as us, and they don't know about this, it would indeed be a good thing for them.
