Little Zhu chuckled and said matter-of-factly, "We have our own selfish reasons too. We don't like studying; we prefer wielding swords and spears. We don't want Dad to always be out there fighting. What will we do after you've conquered the world?"

This is what an unfilial son looks like; he has a very strong sense of crisis. He's not worried about the stability of his position as crown prince, but mainly about how wise and powerful his father, the emperor, is, and how he fears that the country will be destroyed.

Little Zhu was thinking of personally leading troops into battle in the future. He was determined to become a martial emperor and was very interested in weapons and military affairs.

Old Zhu stood up and said, "Yin'er, come back with us. Your father has to deal with official business and doesn't have time to talk to you. We'll let him talk to you at dinner."

Zhu Yunying, supporting her grandfather, said with a smile, "Grandpa Emperor, we're going to see the Imperial Noble Consort today..."

Old Zhu angrily flicked his sleeve and scolded, "You think having dinner will delay you? If you eat first and then go over, will it cause any problems?! The Yellow River matter hasn't been sorted out yet, and all you think about is women. If you ask me, you're quite unseemly!"

Zhu Yunying was speechless. If he followed Zhu's wishes, he would be a filial son and virtuous grandson. But if he went against Zhu's wishes even slightly, he would be considered an unfilial descendant.

However, Zhu Yunying was indeed used to such things. Old Zhu's criteria for judgment were very flexible, which had always been his characteristic.

Zhu Yunying smiled but didn't say much. It was probably just that Old Zhu missed his grandson and wanted Zhu Yunying to have dinner with him, so it wasn't a big deal.

Let's continue dealing with state affairs. Zhu Yunying has a lot to do. It's not just about managing the Yellow River; there are many other things to handle as well.

However, it seems that the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works are about to be replaced!
