Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

2nd son! Even the ancestors will not be spared!

Lu Mansion. ░▒▓█►─══─◄█▓▒░

Zhu Biao rushed to Lu Mansion with the imperial doctor assigned to the East Palace.

The female family members of the Lu family had already burst into tears.

When I saw Zhu Biao, I felt like I was grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Prince, you have to make the decision for us."

"Prince, Zhu Silang has deceived others too much."

"Master, he is so pitiful, our Lu family is so pitiful..."

…

Zhu Biao frowned slightly and glanced at the kneeling and crying female relatives.

Did the fourth child bully others too much?

It must be Lu Ben!

Lu Ben has been targeting the fourth child all this time, and the fourth child has always been too lazy to pay attention to him.

These people from the Prince's Department were targeting the fourth child overtly or covertly, and he figured out the reason why the fourth child didn't want to pay attention to them.

Actually it's not that I'm afraid.

It's not like there's nothing we can do against these people.

Lan Yu and Lu Ben are the best examples.

The fourth child kept avoiding it because he was afraid that he would misunderstand.

Therefore, in the end, the most active general was selected, Lan Yu.

The civil servants chose Lu Ben.

Give it a thunderous blow.

Control the range, choose the most representative one, and after one strike, fear that he will misunderstand, stop immediately, and stay away from the place of right and wrong in Jinling.

Do a ‘good deed’, grease the soles of your feet and run faster than a rabbit.

The behavior of this fourth child seems funny.

After the ridiculousness passed, he gradually understood the good intentions of the fourth child.

Lao Si is using this action to show that he has no nostalgia for Jinling City.

Lu Ben got to where he is today.

He himself cannot afford to lose.

After gathering his thoughts, Zhu Biao glanced at Lu Zhao with a rare cold face: "How can the imperial doctor diagnose this mess?"

Lu Zhao had never seen Zhu Biao's cold face before. He shuddered secretly and hurriedly took a room full of women out.

He arranged for a group of female relatives to cry.

I hope the prince can make the decision for the Lu family.

He was very aware of the prince's influence in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the prince is willing to say a word, or show a slight attitude: disgust and hostility to Zhu Silang.

Zhu Silang will be beaten by everyone in the Ming Dynasty!

Even the emperor would probably use the strongest means to suppress Zhu Silang for the sake of the prince.

While the imperial doctor was checking for pulse, Lu Zhao turned back and stood carefully next to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao glanced at it and reminded: "During this period, people in the mansion should not run to the East Palace."

"Yes, yes!" Lu Zhao hurriedly agreed.

He definitely couldn't tell his sister about his father vomiting blood and fainting, which would affect his sister's pregnancy.

That is the foundation of the Lu family's future.

After a while, several imperial doctors came to Zhu Biao and said, "Prince, Mr. Lu suffered from vomiting blood and fainting caused by a sudden attack on the heart. It was originally not a serious problem."

"It's just Mr. Lu..."

…

Ancestral temple.

When Chang arrived with Zhu Xiongying.

The princes and princesses were already waiting outside.

As soon as Chang's shoulder carriage landed, the prince and princess came running to say hello.

“Sister-in-law. ☜”

"Sister-in-law, why does father want us to come to the ancestral temple?"

"Yes, even though it's not the New Year or the holiday, you actually gave us a holiday. What's wrong with you, Father?"

…

Mr. Chang smiled and glared at his brother-in-law, who was audacious enough to talk about his father behind his back. He explained with a smile: "Your fourth brother passed the scholar examination and is still ranked first in the Class A this year."

A moment of silence.

All the princes and princesses, their mouths still open, suddenly lost their voices, their eyes widened, and they looked at Mrs. Chang in astonishment.

Mrs. Chang couldn't help but smile.

From the faces of the brother-in-law and sister-in-law, we can see the way she and the prince looked when they first heard the news.

"It's true! Fourth uncle really got the first place in Class A."

Zhu Xiongying's words of affirmation brought the princes and princesses back to their senses.

"Fourth brother, this is a heifer that is going up to the sky. I can't even hold it back!"

"Fourth brother! Leave me a way to survive!"

"Fourth brother, you are so good at what you do, why don't you let us live!"

"It's over! It's over. Father will definitely use the excellence of fourth brother to strictly demand us from now on!"

…

The princesses were okay, they were just surprised and whispered.

On the other hand, the princes were almost crying. The younger ones just sat on the ground and rolled around.

puff!

Mrs. Chang couldn't help but be amused when she saw these brothers-in-law looking like they were almost crying.

They know their father.

When my father threw his fourth brother to Tuqiao Village, it was to set an example for these brothers-in-law.

Today, the situation has changed.

The fourth brother has become the pride of his father.

There is a high probability that my father will ask all his brothers-in-law to follow the example of his fourth brother and regard him as a role model in their studies.

Soon, all the young eunuchs who went to Yingtian Mansion to collect the answer sheets came to the ancestral temple, but Zhu Yuanzhang had not arrived yet.

Zhu Xiongying saw the young eunuch carefully protecting the answer sheet wrapped in cloth.

She was very sensible and didn't ask for anything. She just raised her head and asked in confusion: "Mom, why hasn't grandpa come yet?"

These words instantly aroused the same doubts from other princes and princesses.

"Yes, the people who took Fourth Brother's answer sheet are all here. Why hasn't Father arrived yet?"

"What did your father do?"

…

Mrs. Chang tried her best not to laugh.

She did guess a bit.

But as a daughter-in-law, I can't say that.

If my guess is correct, my father must have been showing off along the way.

"Father and mother are coming!" A prince suddenly shouted.

Mrs. Chang quickly suppressed her smile and followed everyone's gaze...

Why!

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, raised his head, looked at the ancestral temple in front of him, and suddenly sighed, "Why do we have the feeling of walking at night in brocade clothes?"

Not enough! Not satisfying at all!

Emotions are not fully released.

It’s so uncomfortable to hold it in!

He is me! If you want to feel proud, you still have to look at the face of the asshole?

"Hey, when will this kind of day end?"

Mingxia followed, lowering her head and trying to hold back her laughter.

Ma Xiuying smiled angrily and glared, "Stop your pride, you almost walked around the entire palace!"

All he had to do was grab the branches along the way and say to the trees: We, Zhu Yuanzhang’s son, passed the scholar examination and ranked first in Class A!

hey-hey……

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said confidently: "We have reason to be proud!"

The dynasty was full of civil and military officials, full of knowledge, and many were complacent, but how outstanding was their son, Zhu Yuanzhang?

Can you take the first-class exam in such a difficult college exam?

"When the fourth child passes the four levels of Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi, we will be even more arrogant than today!"

He was originally the emperor.

My son is still so upbeat.

Even if he is not arrogant, it would be disrespectful to his status.

Ma Xiuying smiled and shook her head helplessly.

It will take several days for this man to calm down.

As arrogant and proud as he is now, it's all thanks to him being the emperor.

Change your identity.

Gotta get beat up!

"Meet my father and queen." When Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying arrived at the ancestral temple, everyone saluted and said hello.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and nodded slightly, looking at the expressions of the princes, he smiled and scolded: "You look like you are unhappy?"

A group of princes shook their heads quickly, forced out smiles that were uglier than crying, and spoke one after another.

"Happy!"

"Father, of course we are happy that our fourth brother has passed the examination as a scholar!"

…

They were really happy from the bottom of their hearts when their fourth brother was admitted as a scholar.

But when I think about it, my father may ask everyone to follow the example of my fourth brother.

Just pain and happiness.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and hummed slightly, "We know what you are thinking. We also know that you can't reach the abilities of your bastard fourth brother. You just need to follow his example and work hard."

He is not greedy either.

If there is such a person in Lao Zhu's family, it is really like smoke rising from the ancestral grave.

new

What's more, if all the children are like the bastard fourth child, opposing him at every turn and not following the life path he has planned for them.

Then he would have a headache.

Xiuying said that the fourth son was the scoundrel of the old Zhu family, not the traitor.

Okay, let's just admit it.

He reluctantly agreed.

The treasonous son is upgraded to the righteous son.

But just one person is enough.

No more, and he's afraid of being pissed to death!

The princes and princesses secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise and cursed, 'Father, did you take the wrong medicine? ’

They had never seen their father so talkative and amiable.

When the eunuch went to open the ancestral temple door.

Mrs. Chang pulled Xiongying to Ma Xiuying's side and whispered: "On the way to the ancestral temple, the father, the queen, and the prince received news that Lu Ben was vomiting blood and fell into coma..."

snort!

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted coldly. He used to think that Lu Ben was very pleasing to the eye and very good.

But for some reason, I have become more and more disgusted recently.

Turning around, he warned in a calm tone: "He brought it upon himself. He has a lot of petty thoughts and a small temper. He cannot afford to lose... Over there in the East Palace, please help your father and mother to take care of themselves and don't cause any more trouble."

Mrs. Chang nodded, "When I received the news, my daughter-in-law had already reminded the prince and ordered the news to be blocked."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying nodded with satisfaction.

They all like this eldest daughter-in-law.

She has a big heart, doesn't fight or grab, and is definitely qualified to be a mother in the world.

It’s the children of the Chang family who are a bit unsatisfied.

The good character and abilities of their old brother Chang Yuchun were all completely avoided by them.

But it doesn't matter, just be mediocre, as long as they are honest and don't hold their sister back, the Ming Dynasty is as big as the Ming Dynasty.

It is still affordable to give each of them a share of glory and wealth!

The palace door opens.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put away his "squeaking" energy. After arranging his clothes, he took his steps and walked seriously into the hall with his family.

Directly opposite the palace gate is the memorial tablet of Lao Zhu's ancestors with recorded records.

On the left side hang several portraits.

One of them is a portrait of the late Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, the father of Crown Princess Chang.

These portraits are all those who have sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty, and one after another they are worthy of the glory.

Zhu Yuanzhang led his family to the memorial tablet. After burning incense respectfully, he raised his head and looked at the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the old Zhu family.

The corners of his lips slowly opened to either side of his ears: "Ancestors, I have good news to tell you, our son!"

Ma Xiuying listened to Zhu Yuanzhang and emphasized the words "our son".

Couldn't help but smile.

This man just wants to show off to outsiders.

Even the ancestors and clans are not spared.

"Our son, like us, will try to cheer you up and pass the exam!"

“Not only did I pass the unprecedentedly difficult college examination, I also ranked first in Class A!”

Look, we strive for success, and our son also strives for success for his ancestors. To sum up, in the final analysis, it is still us who strive for success!

Zhu Yuanzhang added ventriloquist.

You can't say this openly, otherwise Xiuying will laugh at him again.

But you must tell your ancestors quietly.

"Ancestors, today I will let you see my son's answer sheet. I will make a copy of it later. I will burn the copy for you. This copy will be hung in the ancestral temple."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved, and the little eunuch who had been carefully guarding the answer sheet hurriedly stepped forward and handed the answer sheet to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it.

Hand the outer cloth to the young eunuch.

Chang, Zhu Xiongying... everyone gathered around curiously.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't wait, "Grandpa, hurry up, my grandson has long wanted to see his fourth uncle's answer sheet."

One sentence.

Make Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying laugh.

Ma Xiuying smiled and touched Zhu Xiongying's little head and looked at everyone. Not to mention the children, she and Chongba were also very curious.

"Okay, grandpa will grant your wish."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took out two answer sheets from the envelope with the answer sheets written on them.

With Ma Xiuying's cooperation, one of them was slowly unfolded.

hiss!

"So long!"

Twenty-three folds, one and a half feet wide, one foot long, about 3.3 meters of answer sheet, as Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying slowly retreated, when it was fully unfolded, even if the princes and princesses actually knew this, they really looked at such a long paper. I was still surprised when it was filled with dense words.

Immediately, everyone came closer to observe.

"Fourth brother's small regular script is so good!" Zhu Ru exclaimed.

Ma Xiuying stood watching from the side.

Laosi's small regular script is indeed very good, not only neat, but also very charming.

Although the writing is arranged vertically.

But when she looked at it from the side, all the words were written line by line.

Each word on the entire answer sheet.

It's like every living soldier is arrayed in formation.

Horizontal and vertical.

Jumping off the page.

The beautiful characters and scrolls alone can make readers feel happy.

To be able to do this in such a tight time must have been achieved through daily practice.

It has become a habit.

Mrs. Chang held Zhu Xiongying and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, he raised his head in surprise, "Father and Queen, in this answer sheet, not only did the officials who reviewed it not pick out a single white word, they didn't even mark the annotations."

Except for the marker, who, in order to facilitate marking, uses a red pen to draw a small red circle on the paper during the marking process, leaving a mark on the sentence reading, there are no other marks.

How solid the basic skills are, it has been fully demonstrated in this answer sheet.

Chang lowered his head and couldn't help but smile when he saw that Zhu Xiongying was so fascinated that he didn't even say anything.

'Fourth brother has such basic skills, it is more than enough to teach heroes. ’

Her determination strengthened.

I am also more urgent and want to put forward this idea.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying read Zhu Di's articles to the princes and princesses.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully folded it again and put it away.

Pointing to the empty wall on the right, he smiled and said, "We have decided that as long as the fourth bastard can pass the exam, the wall on the right will be used exclusively to hang his answer sheets from now on!"

Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded.

She agreed very much.

Let the descendants of the Zhu family see the ability of the fourth child, not to mention that everyone must be like the fourth child.

It is a good thing to set an example and give children a goal to work towards.

Come out of the ancestral temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands happily: "I'll give you a day off today. You can play as you like. Remember, the whole family will have dinner together in the evening."

"Long live my father!"

The princes and princesses shouted long live, saluted hurriedly, and ran away cheering.

Zhu Yuanzhang was rarely angry. He smiled and turned away, "In the evening, call Tiande's family too. After all, the fourth goddam is also half his son, so he can also take advantage of it."

"Then tonight, please restrain your pride!" Ma Xiuying glared angrily, "The fact that the fourth child can do so well in the exam and be so outstanding is also due to the contribution of girl Miaoyun."

hey-hey……

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Okay, let's try not to show off in front of Tiande."

Why!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and suddenly sighed, "The fourth bastard didn't come back even after the results were released. I don't know if he knows that he got the first place in Class A. Maybe this bastard doesn't care at all!"

Suddenly felt a little lost.

The family is having dinner tonight. It would be great if the fourth son and his family of four were also there.

"By the way, send people to Peiping and Jinyang to deliver this good news to the second and third sons."

…

Mrs. Chang stood behind holding Zhu Xiongying, twitching the corners of her lips several times.

Never found the opportunity.

She wanted to express her thoughts now.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Mrs. Chang lowered his head and looked at Zhu Xiongying standing next to him.

A mother can do anything for her son.

He mustered up the courage to speak: "Father, Emperor, Mother..."
