Zhu Yunying glanced at Wang Chengen and said, "Summon Prince Heng to the palace."

There were quite a few troublesome younger brothers, so Zhu Yunying had to put in extra effort to handle these matters. After all, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and also the eldest brother.

If Zhu Yunxuan causes any trouble or makes a fool of himself, Zhu Yunying will naturally need to be more careful. If his troublesome younger brother causes problems and makes a fool of himself, it will be a loss of face for Zhu Yunying.

We must keep a close eye on things and give them a nudge from time to time. That's what an emperor should do, and that's what the eldest brother should do.

It wasn't that Zhu Yunying was biased; in fact, he treated his younger brothers fairly equally. Those who needed a beating would be punished, those who needed a scolding would be scolded, and those who did the right thing would be praised. If they caused trouble, then of course they would be punished accordingly.

Zhu Yunxuan is just asking for trouble. He probably hasn't had the experience of a seasoned womanizer like his third brother, and he's been completely blinded by lust. If he's not given a good talking-to, he might just make an even bigger fool of himself.

Speaking of these kids, they really don't give their older brother any peace of mind. They all seem to feel uneasy unless they're causing trouble.

Song Zhong wasn't actually afraid of offending Zhu Yunxuan; as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, all he needed to do was obey the emperor. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard hesitated and looked back, it meant they weren't far from losing the emperor's trust.

Regarding the issue of stance, Song Zhong was naturally even more aware, and he knew what to do!
