Chapter 252 Imperial Brother, Imperial Subordinate Brother

Zhu Yunwen glanced cautiously at Zhu Yunying's expression and said somewhat timidly, "The South has a strong literary tradition, and I wish to stay here."

"Let him stay if he wants. The mausoleums of Father and Mother need people to stay." Zhu Yunying didn't care. He knew from the beginning that Zhu Yunwen was not much of a threat to him, and now there was even less of a threat. "Speaking of which, that scoundrel Yunwen also wants to stay in Jiangnan. He acts without any rules and is too spoiled. If he stays in Yingtian Prefecture, you, as his older brother, will have to keep an eye on him."

Zhu Yunwen thought these words were best taken with a grain of salt. If he had acted like an elder brother in front of Zhu Yunying just a moment ago, then the real elder brother, Zhu Yunying, would have to step in and show everyone what a true elder brother was!

"Yunzhu has the heart of a child. Although he is playful and has some dissolute behavior, his heart is pure and kind." Zhu Yunwen flattered him, not daring to really join in criticizing Zhu Yunzhu. "A few days ago, Yunzhu came to the mansion, saying that he was taking the fourth and fifth princes hunting."

Zhu Yunying was speechless and said irritably, "Don't let the fourth and fifth princes learn from Yunhuo. Those children are too young to be learning good things. By the way, the fifth prince needs to be disciplined. Send him to the Imperial Academy tomorrow to study with the Imperial Uncle."

The fifth son, Zhu Yunxi, was a typical spoiled brat; at only six years old, he was already quite unruly. Zhu Yunwen couldn't control him, and the petty-minded Lady Lü was also inept at educating her children. All that glittered was not gold; the children raised by Lady Lü were all pretty much the same.

Zhu Yunwen withdrew, while Zhu Yunying continued reviewing memorials. His brothers' affairs were indeed easy to handle. However, matters concerning the imperial court were never so simple.

The upcoming moment is particularly important, as the Duke Yansheng's treatment is about to decline sharply, and scholars will suffer as a result.

These matters need to be handled properly, otherwise, even if it doesn't cause widespread chaos, it will certainly create some ripples. Zhu Yunying certainly doesn't want that to happen.
