The Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming

In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.

He who resides as the legitimate heir will surely ascend to t...

Chapter 29 Imperial Treasury and Navy

The fact that the Crown Prince is involved in these matters is likely welcomed by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. However, if anyone else tries to interfere, or even shows envy, it will incur their wrath. While it might not lead to the execution of their children or grandchildren, they will certainly be reprimanded.

Zhu Biao seemed to remember something and said to Zhu Xiong Ying, "From now on, we shall hold meetings in the Wenhua Hall."

In the imperial palace, every palace had its own set of rules and regulations.

Fengtian Hall was the main hall of the former dynasty. The main body of the three main halls, namely the Golden Palace, was where the emperor held important ceremonies and received the congratulations of civil and military officials.

The Hall of Literary Glory is one of the three main halls of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. During the Spring Festival, the Winter Solstice, and the emperor's birthday, the emperor would first receive the homage of the cabinet ministers and palace officials here before going to the Hall of Imperial Sacrifices to receive the congratulations of the officials.

The Jinshen Hall is one of the three main halls of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. It was where the emperor changed his court clothes before court and where he appointed the empress and the crown prince. The emperor also received congratulations in this hall.

For daily office work, the emperor worked in the Wuying Hall, while the crown prince worked in the Wenhua Hall.

The Qianqing Palace, where the emperor resided, the Kunning Palace, where the empress resided, or the Chunhe Palace, where the crown prince resided, constituted the inner court.

Lady Lü felt even more bitter. Everyone in the court and the country knew that the Crown Prince was practically half an emperor, only 'in name only', as he always worked alongside the emperor. The Wenhua Hall was empty, or rather, just for show.

But now, by giving up the Wenhua Hall, the Crown Prince can openly conduct official business.

Zhu Xi started to speak with a grin, but her confidence waned as she went on, "Father, if we go to the Wenhua Hall..."

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunwen felt fortunate that their older sister had been scolded for speaking up. If they had spoken up, they probably would have received more than just a scolding.

Having grown up in the palace, these children are quite precocious. Now, at around ten years old, they already know what they should and shouldn't know, and they have some thoughts about things. There's no longer any real ignorance about them.

Even though Zhu Yunwen usually seems simple-minded, and even though he is protected by his father, brothers, and sisters, he is still a bit naive and innocent. However, he is actually quite aware of many things, but he is just a little simple-minded and his reaction time is a bit slow.

Zhu Xiong Ying was a little excited and full of enthusiasm. He thought that he could try to do more at this time, and there shouldn't be any problem with that.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao learned governance here, and occasionally displayed some of his own governing philosophies.

Now, Zhu Xiong Ying can begin to experiment with some of his own governance ideas as he tries to gradually take over the navy and intervene in the imperial treasury.

The aloof and powerful Emperor Zhu was happy to see these things happen. He wasn't afraid of his children and grandchildren taking power; what he feared was their inability to control the situation and the court. Even if his children and grandchildren encountered setbacks or failures temporarily, it didn't matter; he, with his overall control, could always bail them out.

Even if you encounter minor difficulties or setbacks, it's okay; just gain experience!
