Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 258 Zhu Yunwen: Your grandson begs Your Majesty to make the decision!

Li Li was a veteran military officer and a personal guard commander who had always followed Lan Yu.

Although not good at any political maneuvering.

However, they were quite familiar with the military's methods of dealing with the enemy. Since they were already enemies, and since it was going to be a life-or-death battle, they would go all out and not care about anything else.

When you make a move, you must strike decisively, leaving the enemy no chance to retaliate.

And in this situation, it is precisely what the military is doing in dealing with the enemy.

Listen to what Li Li said.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Yunwen thought of all the things Lady Lü had done to him in the past, his mother, and his elder brother's smallpox. Zhu Yunwen's heart was filled with hatred, a hatred that made him fearless of everything, even death.

"Uncle Li."

"I'll listen to you."

Zhu Yunwen finally made his decision.

"it is good."

“I have sealed off the Lü family’s palace with ten guards, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, so that she will have no chance to prepare. Young Master, please go to the palace to meet the Emperor immediately.”

"Seize this opportunity."

"Except."

"Young Master, you must also instruct the Imperial Guards not to allow anyone from the Eastern Palace to enter or leave. As the eldest son, you must force the Imperial Guards to do so. With the Crown Prince absent, you, Young Master, are the highest-ranking person in the Eastern Palace. The Imperial Guards would certainly not dare to refuse," Li Li said again, his face serious.

The first counterattack by the Crown Prince must be executed flawlessly.

"it is good."

Zhu Yunwen nodded immediately.

He naturally had complete confidence and trust in Li Li.

"Without further ado."

"Young Master, act immediately," Li Li said right away.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Li Li dared not delay for even a moment.

See this.

Zhu Yunwen turned to look at Yunyu: "Sister Yunyu, stay with Uncle Li and don't leave, otherwise that bitch Lü might come after you when she's desperate."

After all, sex was his weakness, and Zhu Yunwen was still very worried.

"kindness."

Yunyu nodded immediately. At this moment, she naturally understood one thing: Zhu Yunwen was truly going to retaliate today.

Although it's unclear why Zhu Yunwen underwent such a dramatic transformation in just a few days, she truly cares for him and would never hold him back.

After the explanation.

Zhu Yunwen did not delay any longer and immediately walked out of the palace.

Ten guards immediately followed Zhu Yunwen to protect him.

"Bros."

"Walk."

The rest were summoned by Li Li and headed towards the palace where Lady Lü was located.

But as soon as he left...

"Miss Yunyu, is that right?"

"Do you know where the Lü family's palace is?" Li Li had just arrived at the East Palace, so how could he know where the Lü family's palace was?

Yunyu immediately nodded and said, "Please come with me."

talking.

Yunyu immediately led the way.

After returning to the palace, Lady Lü immediately closed the palace gates.

But at this moment, her face was gloomy and angry.

Once back.

There was a crash.

Lady Lü overturned everything on the table in front of her.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

The trusted palace maids who followed them in all knelt down.

"Zhu Yuntong".

"It seems that Lan Yu has definitely been teaching him while he was at Lan Yu's residence these past few days."

"He actually dared to kill Dong'er, and he even dared to threaten me like this."

"He's courting death, he's asking for it."

"I said through gritted teeth."

"Miss."

"What if he really reports this to the Crown Prince and the Emperor?"

"Over the years, the Empress has indeed been suppressing him, and many people in the Eastern Palace... many people know this."

"If it's the Crown Prince who's investigating, perhaps there's still a chance to turn things around, but if... if it really reaches the Emperor..."

Lu's trusted nanny knelt on the ground, her face showing intense worry.

after all.

Zhu Yunwen was weak and humble.

Since the death of his brother, he has suffered fierce suppression from the Lü clan, which is hardly a secret in the inner palace of the Eastern Palace.

It's just that since the Lü family controlled all the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, no one else dared to mention it.

"He just backed down to me, so he probably wouldn't dare to completely break ties with me."

"Moreover, my so-called suppression has no real evidence; it was all due to my strictness as his foster mother."

"After all, when the Crown Prince entrusted him to my tutelage, he also instructed me to treat him strictly," Lady Lü said with a hint of self-consolation.

Hear this.

The old woman still worriedly said, "Perhaps Her Highness can say that, but... but what if the concubines in the Eastern Palace gossip?"

"Although the Crown Prince asked the Empress to tutor Zhu Yunwen, but...but..."

Speaking of which.

The old woman didn't know what to say.

After all, this matter cannot be resolved simply by a stern reprimand.

"rest assured."

“They wouldn’t dare to say anything out of line,” Madam Lü said confidently.

"Miss."

"This servant thinks we should still discuss this with the master. Zhu Yunwen's temperament has changed drastically and he is out of control."

“If this continues, disaster will surely follow,” the old woman said again.

In this regard.

Madam Lü nodded: "Have someone go to the Lü residence later and invite my father to the Eastern Palace during the New Year festival."

"Zhu Yunwen has slipped out of our control; we must make some careful plans."

The old woman immediately nodded: "This servant obeys."

But just then!
Footsteps were heard outside the hall, and looking outside, one could see several figures arriving outside.

"Go see what's going on?"

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Madam Lü felt uneasy and immediately spoke.

The old woman immediately gestured to the maid beside her to go and see.

But as soon as they opened the door...

Li Li's figure came into view, with ten guards behind him, all holding sticks, standing guard outside the hall.

When Lady Lü saw Li Li, she immediately recognized him as the guard who had been by Zhu Yunwen's side earlier.

"What is Zhu Yunwen planning to do now?" Lady Lü asked, suppressing her anger, towards the outside of the hall.

"I'm here on the young master's orders to keep an eye on the lady and make sure she doesn't run away," Li Li said with a forced smile, his face revealing no trace of sarcasm.

Hear this.

The unease that had been suppressed suddenly surged back into my heart, and a strong sense of unease swept through my entire body.

Lady Lü suddenly stood up, staring intently at Li Li before her: "What did you say? Zhu Yunwen sent you to watch over me?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Listening to Lady Lü's questioning.

Li Li wasn't afraid at all, and replied with a faint smile, "Just as the words say, keep an eye on Her Majesty, and make sure she stays in this palace. She is not allowed to enter or leave until the young master returns."

"you dare!"

"I am the Crown Prince's concubine, personally appointed by His Highness the Crown Prince to manage the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. You want to confine me within the palace?"

"How dare you! Are you courting death?" Madam Lü was genuinely shocked and furious.

They immediately invoked the name of Crown Prince Zhu Biao to suppress Li Li.

now.

She could naturally tell that Li Li wasn't afraid of her. "Yes."

"A petty person is courting death."

"However, I am a guard of Young Master Yuntong. Although I am a guard, my military rank has not yet been transferred, so I am still under the command of the military. Even if you want to execute me, it will have to go through the Ministry of War and be decided by the Minister of War."

"If Your Majesty wishes to take my life, then please let the Ministry of War decide. But until then, Your Majesty should remain in this palace," Li Li replied calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.

Hear this.

Empress Lü was so angry that she trembled all over. She raised her finger and pointed at Li Li, saying angrily, "Tell Zhu Yunwen to come and see me."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"Just now, the young master went to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor."

"If you want the young master to come, then Your Highness will have no choice but to wait," Li Li replied with a smile, appearing quite smug.

When Lady Lü heard that Zhu Yunwen had entered the palace to meet the emperor, she panicked completely.

"I don't believe you dare to lay a hand on me." Desperate, Lady Lü charged directly at Li Li.

But Li Li is not that stupid.

Although Lady Lü was insidious, she was, after all, the favorite concubine of Crown Prince Zhu Biao. If one were to actually fight with her, even if one was in the right, one would still be severely punished.

So when they saw Lady Lü rushing over...

Li Li was extremely quick and nimble. He swiftly closed the palace door, then used a stick to jam the handle and held it tightly.

"Your Majesty is overthinking it."

"How dare I lay a hand on Your Majesty?"

"If a villain were to take action, that would be a grave offense."

"However, all I need to do is close the palace gates. Please wait patiently, Your Majesty, until Young Master Yunhu returns and until His Majesty's decree arrives."

"I'm sure this Eastern Palace will be quite a spectacle," Li Li shouted sarcastically.

Lady Lü was so angry that she trembled and started kicking the palace door.

Bang bang.

However, the palace doors were tightly closed, which did not affect Li Li, nor could it open the doors.

"Break down the palace gates for me."

"quick."

Lady Lü's face flushed red as she shouted to the palace maids behind her.

this moment.

Lady Lü was truly anxious.

Zhu Yunwen's audience with the emperor was far more serious than reporting to the crown prince Zhu Biao. For a dignified disciple to go to the emperor's audience and recount his grievances of many years, no matter how much Lady Lü tried to cover it up, she could foresee the consequences.

If we don't find a solution now, something really bad is going to happen.

"Zhu Yuntong".

"That's a good trick."

"How dare you lie to me, pretending not to go?"

"I should have killed you back then, otherwise how could I have left such a troublesome legacy?" Lady Lü was filled with remorse at this moment.

What was once a completely controlled child has now become a major problem.

Inside the palace.

Outside the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Grandson Zhu Yunwen requests an audience with His Majesty the Emperor. He requests an audience with His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yunwen stood outside the main hall and shouted loudly.

As the legitimate son.

Zhu Yunwen naturally had the opportunity to enter the palace for an audience, after all, he was not yet of age to establish his own residence and was still among the princes and grandsons of the emperor.

However, due to his cowardice and fear, Zhu Yunwen had never gone to see his grandfather alone.

In the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were drafting a memorial concerning various matters related to the Joseon Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites has already drafted preliminary regulations, such as the envoys bestowing gifts, but the specifics still need to be finalized by the father and son.

Zhu Yunwen's voice rang out from outside the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both looked up at the same time, their faces showing surprise.

"Has Yunhu entered the palace to request an audience?"

"That's quite a strange thing."

"This is the first time he has come to the palace to see us in all these years."

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's request for an audience, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat taken aback.

If it were anyone else, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be surprised, but Zhu Yunwen was quite unusual.

"Yes."

“Yun Tong has been performing poorly all these years, even ashamed to face his father. But today something strange has happened.” Zhu Biao nodded in surprise.

but.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much of it and immediately shouted to Yun Qi, "Summon them!"

Yun Qi immediately shouted at the top of his lungs towards the outside of the hall: "By imperial decree, the young master Zhu Yunwen shall enter the hall for an audience."

Upon hearing this sound...

Zhu Yunwen calmed himself down, straightened his clothes, and strode into the main hall.

Enter the main hall.

Unlike the humble and cowardly demeanor of the past.

Today, Zhu Yunwen stands tall and proud, showing no fear, displaying the demeanor of a royal descendant.

See this.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance, both looking quite puzzled, seemingly surprised by Zhu Yunwen's behavior at this moment.

"This kid has changed a lot in the past few days since he stayed at Lan Yu's residence."

"At least I'm not as humble and cowardly as I used to be."

"Perhaps it was his older brother who influenced him. When he was a child, Xiong Ying took such good care of him. If his older brother regains his memory and sees such a cowardly Yun Tong, he will definitely be disappointed."

"That must be what caused Yunhu's change," Zhu Biao thought to himself, a hint of joy in his eyes.

Although I don't particularly like Zhu Yunwen, there are significant differences between them.

But after all, he was the son born to his beloved wife, so how could Zhu Biao really ignore him completely? Over the years, apart from the fact that he died in childbirth, he was more disappointed in Zhu Yunwen.

But today.

It's enough to catch your eye.

soon.

Zhu Yunwen walked steadily into the main hall, then knelt down and bowed deeply, saying solemnly, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

After bowing.

Zhu Yunwen bowed to Zhu Biao again: "Your son pays respects to his father."

now.

Zhu Yunwen no longer showed any humility.

"Yunyi, get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, with a hint of satisfaction, clearly very pleased with Zhu Yunwen's performance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Father." Zhu Yunwen immediately expressed his gratitude, and then slowly stood up.

At the same time, he still stood upright, maintaining his composure.

"Yun Tong, not bad."

"It's only been a few days, but your demeanor has changed drastically. It seems that Lan Yu has indeed been teaching you well during this time."

"good."

"As descendants of the royal family, we should have such demeanor, we should hold our heads high and be filled with nobility."

"Compared to before, you are truly a pleasant surprise today."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's transformation, Zhu Yuanzhang praised him with great satisfaction.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

“Indeed, Sun Chen’s performance was poor in the past,” Zhu Yunwen immediately replied, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more satisfied with the neither humble nor arrogant reply.

"Yunyi, what brings you here today to see your imperial grandfather?"

"Is there something important?" Zhu Biao asked directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said, "This is the first time you've asked to see me in all these years. Speak up, what is it you want to say?"

Hear this!

Without any hesitation, Zhu Yunwen knelt down again, his face filled with indescribable grief and indignation, and shouted, "Grandson begs His Majesty and Father to make the decision!"
