After returning to the study, Zhu Youxiao had just sat down on the chair when he inadvertently saw the old Prince Fu kneeling on the ground. He quickly stood up, ran to his side as if he had a thorn on his butt, and reached out to help him up.

"Uncle, uncle, look, what are you doing? Please get up quickly." Zhu Youxiao smiled gently and helped the old Prince Fu up.

It was obvious that the old Prince Fu was overnourished and his fat body was as fat as that of a domestic white pig.

Old Prince Fu Zhu Changxun stood up, still a little confused in his heart. What was he, the emperor's nephew, going to do?

However, his face was filled with trepidation, and he quickly said, "I, a sinner, cannot bear this. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and my brother!"

Seeing Zhu Changxun's ashamed look, Zhu Youxiao reached out and pulled him, saying earnestly: "Uncle, you have to understand me. There are some things that I cannot decide on my own."

"What you did in Henan was truly wrong. Of course, not everything in our royal family is right or wrong."

"As the Emperor's uncle, a little more land and property is nothing special. A more affluent life is natural for you. But those ministers are ignorant of their own limitations and are causing trouble. I must give them an explanation."

"Originally, they wanted to seize the title of the Emperor's uncle and banish him to Fengyang to guard the ancestral mausoleum. I stopped them abruptly because I couldn't bear to let him go!"

Zhu Youxiao had a bright smile on his face and a sincere tone, showing the deep affection between uncle and nephew.

Zhu Changxun is not a fool. You have to know that he was also a prince in his time, and he was also the one who seized the throne of the crown prince. Even if he hasn't eaten pork, hasn't he seen a pig run?

The emperor's nephew's rhetoric is just a lie.

When something happens, the emperor is not wrong, it is the ministers who are wrong.

If something is done wrong, it is not the emperor's intention. It is all because his subordinates are incompetent or have misunderstood his intention.

This method is really not new at all.

But things in this world cannot be taken too seriously. If the emperor says so, you must listen to him. If you don't want to listen to him, then you might as well not listen at all and just chop off your head, so that you won't hear anything.

Zhu Changxun quickly knelt on the ground, forced out two tears, and said with a sense of self-blame: "Your Majesty has treated me with deep affection. It is my old age and confusion that has brought shame upon Your Majesty. I am ashamed!"

Zhu Youxiao helped Zhu Changxun up again and said with a smile: "Uncle, there are only you and me, the emperor and his subject, here, so don't be like this."

Old Prince Fu's eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't care. So you're acting all by yourself, and you're asking me to stop? We're both so good at this, so why don't you just pretend too?

"Don't worry, uncle. I still care about the kinship of the royal family and will naturally not do anything that would hurt my relatives and please my enemies. I brought my uncle to the capital mainly to protect him."

"In the local area, if the emperor's uncle falls into poverty, those people may not be able to do anything. If they cause any trouble, I am far away in the capital. The emperor is far away and I am unable to do anything."

"Bring the Emperor's uncle to the capital now. First, I can protect him nearby. Second, I can talk to him about our uncle-nephew relationship. Third, I can let him fulfill his filial duty in the capital."

"I know that the Henan incident has wronged my uncle, so I brought him to the capital. I also know that Concubine Zheng misses my uncle very much in the capital. When I have time, my uncle will come to the palace to spend more time with the Concubine. I will also take care of the mother-son relationship."

Zhu Changxun quickly knelt down again, kowtowed with tears of gratitude and said: "Your Majesty, the sky is high and the earth is thick. I am deeply grateful!"

"Alright, alright, uncle, please get up quickly and stop kneeling so easily. You are my uncle, and I feel uneasy if you keep kneeling to me."

Zhu Youxiao helped Zhu Changxun up again, turned around and said to Chen Hong: "Bring a stool for the emperor's uncle, and I will sit down and talk with him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Old Prince Fu was not polite either.

"Give orders, don't disturb me today unless it's something important. I want to have a good chat with my uncle about the relationship between uncle and nephew." After saying that, Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked back to the dragon throne and sat down.

Chen Hong also quickly moved a chair over and placed it next to Zhu Changxun.

Although Zhu Youxiao's attitude was very gentle and his words were very nice, Zhu Changxun still felt uneasy in his heart.

Zhu Changxun's uneasiness came precisely from Zhu Youxiao's politeness.

In his opinion, he had no feelings for his nephew, the emperor. Not to mention the nephew, he also had no feelings for his deceased brother.

We both want to kill you so that we can become emperor. How can there be any feelings between us?

If the emperor's nephew was planning to "kill you while you are sick", then Zhu Changxun would not be surprised at all.

For example, if I were to be given a good beating in the capital, thrown into the prison of the clan office, or simply imprisoned, I would not be surprised at all, but would feel much more at ease.

The emperor's nephew's current behavior actually made the old Prince Fu Zhu Changxun feel scared.

But Zhu Changxun had no choice. Now he was at the mercy of others. Things in this world could not be done as he wished.

After sitting down obediently, Zhu Changxun waited for Zhu Youxiao to speak.

Zhu Youxiao did not let him down and said directly: "Uncle, you may have misunderstood me, but there is a long way to go. As uncle and nephew get along slowly, you will know what kind of person I am in the future. Today's performance is good. Uncle, you are thoughtful."

"I am just doing my duty as a minister. I don't deserve your praise." Zhu Changxun quickly stood up and said respectfully,
