Zhu Ying was a little depressed.
First it was Prince of Yan Zhu Di, then Prince of Jin Zhu Gang, and now Prince of Qin Zhu Chong has also come.
This is like a hornet's nest of vassal kings.
Come in line.
"Master, it seems I have to go to the Prince Qin's Mansion first."
Zhu Ying said to the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can go. It's almost time for us to return to the palace."
He was not worried about what might happen to his eldest grandson because he looked like his father.
You will definitely be able to get along well in front of the kings.
Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of the feelings of his many sons towards their eldest son Zhu Biao.
Now that a man who looks like their eldest nephew has appeared, these uncles will naturally not treat him badly out of love for him.
"Do you have any instructions for King Qin?" Zhu Ying stood up and asked the shopkeeper casually.
The shopkeeper said hesitantly, "I just asked the butler who passed the message, and he said that the boss should bring a few cooks over to prepare the ingredients for the cakes."
"It is said that the second concubine of the Prince of Qin particularly likes to eat our breakfast. If we can make good breakfast, then the pastries will naturally be good too."
Zhu Ying frowned slightly when he heard this, and suddenly stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing aside, had a smiling face, but it suddenly turned gloomy.
What the hell?
Let the eldest grandson prepare breakfast for the second son’s concubine?
Zhu Ying was a little hesitant.
His cooking skills are actually not that good.
The preparation of breakfast was also adjusted by some veteran chefs based on the ideas he provided.
As for pastries, I do know a little bit, but not much.
I have been on the road all year round, and I have never taken the time to study the enjoyment of snacks like pastries.
Zhu Ying naturally also had intelligence collected and a certain understanding of some of the situations of the King of Qin.
Of course I know the key points.
It is not difficult to guess that this was what Concubine Deng was thinking that time.
Just when Zhu Ying was feeling a little conflicted, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.
He took a jade pendant from his bosom and said to the shopkeeper, "Take this thing and give it to the man who comes and ask him to deliver it to the King of Qin."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked towards his boss hesitantly.
Zhu Ying said, "Old man, you..."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "This is the jade pendant that your majesty once gave to me. Your majesty once carried it with you. The King of Qin will definitely recognize it when he sees it."
After the old man said this, Zhu Ying immediately understood.
It seems that the old man is just taking advantage of the power of others to bully others.
The situation of Qin Wang Zhu Chong was not very good in the capital.
He was recalled by His Majesty last year and has almost been on the verge of being stripped of his title.
Now that Crown Prince Zhu Biao has passed away due to illness, without his elder brother to speak for him, he must be even more cautious.
Any slight disturbance can scare him to death.
"Thank you, old man." Zhu Ying was not pretentious. Faced with such a situation, he had no good way to deal with it.
If Zhu Ying really came into conflict with Qin Wang Zhu Chong, he would be in a difficult position.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper took Zhu Yuanzhang's jade pendant and went downstairs directly.
Zhu Ying sat down and asked, "Grandpa, this won't have any impact on you, will it?"
Although the old man is a minister of the palace beside His Majesty, Prince Qin Zhu Chong is not having an easy life at the moment.
But no matter what, Zhu Chong is your Majesty's second son after all.
Zhu Ying was still a little worried that it would affect the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said disdainfully: "What impact will this have? The King of Qin is now in his residence, reflecting on his sins. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's constant persuasion to Your Majesty, he would have been stripped of his title long ago."
"Could it be possible that he dares to cause trouble for us?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ying felt relieved.
In fact, even if a real fight breaks out, Zhu Ying isn't afraid.
Maybe if things got out of hand, it would be the King of Qin who backed off first.
That's the benefit of intelligence.
Knowing other people's weaknesses makes it easy to think of countermeasures.
Zhu Ying was also aware of the reputation of the teahouse. He could use some tricks to promote the King of Qin in the capital, and then the people would be excited.
This King of Qin, Zhu Chong, will have to bear the consequences.
"It's a pity. After all, heroes are often tempted by beauty. Many heroes in ancient and modern times have fallen in the land of tenderness."
Thinking of the information about Qin Wang Zhu Chong, Zhu Ying said with some emotion.
"What does that mean, grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some doubt.
Although it was inappropriate to talk about the royal family, the old man had just helped Zhu Ying a lot, and he didn't hide it.
He said bluntly: "Old Master, you don't know that the King of Qin is actually a good person, but he dotes on his second concubine too much."
"It is said that when he was in the fiefdom, he even imprisoned his wife for the sake of his concubine. This was simply too crazy."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but shout angrily: "To favor a concubine and abandon a wife is simply unworthy of being a son."
Although the Jinyiwei gathered intelligence from all over the world, they basically avoided the princes.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself cared very much about family affection and had a natural trust in his sons.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei mainly gathered intelligence on ministers.
The reason why Zhu Chong was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that his incident made too big a deal.
The entire fiefdom was filled with resentment because of him. A little inquiry would reveal that the people were living in misery.
It was for this reason that Zhu Yuanzhang decided to recall Zhu Chong to the capital.
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the main problem lay with his own son.
In fact, he couldn't understand why his second son was so well-behaved around him.
It became like this after becoming a vassal.
Only then was Crown Prince Zhu Biao arranged to go on the inspection.
Now hearing what Da Sun said, I immediately understood.
"Humph, so there is a demon in the family. We said that the King of Qin was quite good before, how come he has changed so much?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"Master, please keep your voice down. It would be inappropriate if outsiders heard this."
"Besides, this is His Majesty's heir, and has little to do with us."
At this point, Zhu Ying paused and warned the old man: "Old man, please don't say this in front of His Majesty. Although His Majesty is a little dissatisfied with the King of Qin."
"But after all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Besides, you are just an outsider. It's best not to get involved in such royal affairs."
Zhu Yuanzhang froze when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandson, I still know my limits."
After talking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wanted to stay any longer.
He wanted to investigate thoroughly what the situation was at this rebellious son's home.
…
"Mr. Huang, do you think this countermeasure was proposed by Fourth Uncle? The Emperor is always out of the palace, so I think it is very likely that it was given to Fourth Uncle."
Chunhe Hall, East Palace.
Zhu Yunwen was reading but couldn't concentrate on what he was reading.
He's been a little upset lately.
Ever since Zhu Di had a private chat with the Emperor Grandfather, he felt that the Emperor Grandfather seemed a little distant from him.
Every time after the morning court session, he was never called to review memorials and asked to come back to study hard.
"Your Highness, please don't worry too much. I will go and inquire about it tomorrow and I will know the answer naturally."
Huang Zicheng said this comfortingly, although he felt a little uneasy.
At present, among all the princes and grandsons, it is Prince of Yan Zhu Di and his grandson Zhu Yunwen who are most competitive for the throne.
However, although the King of Yan was very outstanding, he eventually fell into the order of inheritance.
At present, Zhu Yunwen is slightly better.
