Zhu Xiong Ying was elated and smug; he was quite good at recognizing talent.
An angry Empress Ma glared at Zhu Biao and Zhu Lao, "You two should not get involved in this matter. I will summon the ladies of the court to the palace."
Zhu Zhu almost entrusted the wrong person, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were stripped of some of their powers.
Empress Ma extended her hand and smiled at Zhu Xiong Ying, saying, "Ying'er, go back to Kunning Palace with your grandmother. You did a good job today. You are not only the Crown Prince's grandson, but also your aunt's nephew. Remember, even if you sit on that throne in the future, never forget that you are not just the Emperor!"
Zhu Xiong Ying broke out in a cold sweat; only his imperial grandmother dared to say such a thing.
With an awkward smile, Old Zhu glanced at his eldest grandson and realized for the first time that his grandson didn't seem so considerate anymore.
Zhu Biao, on the other hand, probably wanted to yell "What a rip-off!"
Watching Zhu Xiong Ying being led away by the Empress, Old Zhu and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance. Although the little fellow had almost embarrassed them this time, they felt mostly gratified.
The Crown Prince has the ability to recognize talent, which is a good thing!
"The Crown Prince handled this matter well." Old Zhu said to Zhu Biao with lingering fear, "There are many talented but immoral people. Such people cannot become imperial relatives. Biao, we must be careful when using such people."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and then said, "Father, I have remembered."
We need to find a way to quickly promote Ouyang Lun, or at least put him to a useful position. Such a person would still be useful to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao; after all, he was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) and possessed some talent. Simply beheading him wouldn't be an option.
Let him play a role in some positions first, and then we'll consider how to deal with him.
Remembering something, Old Zhu said, "That Ru Chang is the Crown Prince's study companion, and our grandson has high hopes for him?"
"After I return to the palace, I will have Lady Lü reward his wife," Zhu Biao said with a smile. "However, Father, you should also issue an imperial decree. It's not appropriate to promote her, so please grant her a flying fish robe instead."
Old Zhu nodded and said, "You handle it. Just know your limits."
