I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 508 Sudden Concern

Everything that happened in the Qianqing Palace spread throughout the capital at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone was shocked by Zhu Houzhao's behavior.

Many people's reaction was that Zhu Houzhao was too willful and reckless. Those who went to advise him were all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and had not done anything wrong. How could he call for the killing of ministers like that?
But after Zhu Houzhao's words came out, everyone was silent.
If Zhu Houzhao had done such a thing thirteen years ago, people would have thought that Zhu Houzhao was acting recklessly and without any regard for the country.
But now that Zhu Houzhao has done something like this, many people have realized that they have lost the qualifications to judge Zhu Houzhao. After all, Zhu Houzhao's height at this time has already required them to look up to him with all their strength.
It seems that it is not unacceptable for Zhu Houzhao to do such a thing. After all, Zhu Houzhao is also an emperor like Taizu and Taizong.
And then again, Zhu Houzhao was already very polite. He was able to restrain himself and not cause any deaths in that situation. This was simply too merciful.
If this happened to Taizu Taizong, I guess there would be countless ministers in the capital wearing mourning clothes today.
Besides, even if Zhu Houzhao really beat a few ministers to death in the Qianqing Palace today, would it have any impact on him? Would it have any impact on the Ming Dynasty?

The answer is no, their deaths would be in vain.

In short, Zhu Houzhao's actions directly shocked everyone. No one doubted that Zhu Houzhao, who had experienced hundreds of battles and killed enemy chiefs with his own hands, would not dare to shoot at them.
After understanding this, many people's thoughts immediately changed. Some people are afraid of death, while others are not afraid of death. However, they are afraid that their death will not change anything. With the achievements Zhu Houzhao had made at that time, he was destined to become a great leader who left a strong mark in history books. However, if he was killed by such a great leader for such a reason, what kind of evaluation would be left in history books? I'm afraid it won't be very good.
Moreover, Zhu Houxuan's change of title to King of Wu was not enough to make them disregard their own lives and sacrifice their own lives.
Therefore, the opposition to changing the king's title suddenly subsided.
There are many smart people in the world. What Yang Yiqing can see, many people can see. Everyone is waiting to see how the succession issue will develop.
Zhu Houxuan officially became the King of Wu. Of course, these did not have much impact on his life, and he still handled various matters as usual.

The news that Zhu Houxuan became the King of Wu soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao was already 36 years old this year, but he still had no children, and there was not even any news of his concubines being pregnant.
Zhu Houzhao and the people of the world knew that he would not have any biological offspring. The transfer of the imperial lineage of the Ming Dynasty was a foregone conclusion, so the position of heir became a matter of concern to everyone.
The princes from all over the Ming Dynasty also submitted letters of congratulations to Zhu Houxuan, and their attitudes were very clear on this matter.

Those who were not of the Yan Wang lineage had basically expressed their support for Zhu Houxuan implicitly, because they really wanted to watch the fun, and if Zhu Houxuan could really succeed in the end, it would also be good for them, at least there was some hope.
Those with close bloodlines are all on the list in a standard manner, and the speed of listing is relatively slow.
However, no one paid attention to these princes because they had no ability to influence the final ownership of the throne.

Zhu Houzhao's change of title to King of Wu showed his attitude. However, people who were familiar with Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houzun felt that Zhu Houzun might not be destined to be emperor. It was because Zhu Houzhao was in too good health and Zhu Houzun worked too hard.
Even Zhu Houzhao noticed this.
Nangong.

Zhu Houxuan finished processing the memorial in front of him and put it aside, then reached out to pick up another one, but his hand touched nothing.
This made him feel puzzled. He looked up and saw only a pile of processed memorials on the table. You know, the memorials sent from the palace on weekdays could pile up several piles on his desk.
Is it possible that the number of memorials received today is particularly small?
He sat there for a while, then pulled a string on the desk, and soon Chen Hong pushed the door open and came in.
"Your Highness, do you have any instructions for me?" Chen Hong walked quickly to Zhu Houxuan.

"Why are there so few memorials today?" Zhu Houxuan asked.

"Your Highness, when Eunuch Zhang from the palace came to deliver memorials today, he brought so many memorials. I was also surprised at the time, so I asked Eunuch Zhang the reason. Eunuch Zhang said that this was a special arrangement by His Majesty, and that only ten memorials should be sent to Nangong in the future," Chen Hong said quickly.

Zhu Houxuan's face changed slightly, and he thought quickly. His first reaction was that Zhu Houzhao wanted to take away his power as regent, but he quickly rejected this idea. Given the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and him, there was no need for Zhu Houzhao to do so.
And if you want to take it away, take it all away. There is no reason to let them continue to deal with ten memorials.
Zhu Houxuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. He looked up at the sky and said, "Prepare the car and go to the Leopard Room!" When Zhu Houxuan arrived at the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao was staying with the staff.

A huge map of the Western Regions was hung on the wall of the room, with various key points marked with colorful symbols.

In the center of the room is a huge sand table, which also shows the terrain of the Western Regions and is filled with flags of various colors.
Although the great war in the Western Regions has ended, there are still various small-scale battles, which are the tasks of the local garrisons.

"Brother, why are you here?" Zhu Houzhao said happily.

The other people in the room also tactfully withdrew.

Zhu Houxuan took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao and found that there was nothing unusual about Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was a person who would not disguise himself too much, which made Zhu Houxuan feel relieved.

"I just came to ask about the memorial," Zhu Houxuan said frankly.

"Memorials?" Zhu Houzhao was stunned, then reacted and said with a smile, "I was the one who ordered the memorials. Now that the Ming Dynasty is invincible, you should take a break, don't overwork yourself, take care of your health, and just handle ten memorials a day from now on."

Zhu Houxuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this. He didn't expect this reason. He thought Zhu Houzhao was playing a trick on him, but the concern in Zhu Houzhao's eyes could not be faked, so this turned out to be Zhu Houzhao's true thoughts.
Zhu Houxuan calmed down and continued to ask: "If that's the case, how will the remaining memorials be handled? Will it be handled by my brother personally?"
