In the early years, Emperor Zhu was so ruthless that many nobles broke the law or chose the wrong side, which is one reason. However, some titles were also revoked in the process, naturally because there were many nobles in the Ming Dynasty, after all, it was the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and meritorious officials were everywhere.
Old Zhu then asked, "Did your father order you to summon Zhang Fu to the Wenhua Hall, or to the Eastern Palace?"
Little Zhu immediately became embarrassed, scratching his head and saying, "We were so happy that we forgot to ask where we should meet him. Great-grandfather, why don't you decide? Where do you think would be the most appropriate place to meet Zhang Fu?"
Old Zhu, his beard bristling and eyes wide, said irritably, "You're not as good as your father in this respect. Your father is meticulous; even in the midst of joy, he can't forget these important matters. You, on the other hand, act on a whim. How could you run off without clarifying such a crucial matter?!"
“We’re not precocious. We’re just a normal kid.” Little Zhu didn’t mind being cheeky and immediately said, “If we were as precocious as our dad, how could our great-grandfather be so close to us? Great-grandfather, our dad is no good. He was too smart when he was little. He wasn’t fun at all.”
Arranging things for elders is a tradition of the Zhu family. Perhaps because Zhu Yunying set the precedent, the younger Zhu family's performance can be considered as ensuring that Zhu Yunying has a successor.
"I remember now, my father wants us to attend court tomorrow," Little Zhu said seriously. "I'll wear my court robes tomorrow, is that alright?"
Old Zhu was both amused and annoyed. He said, "Court attire won't do. Tomorrow is the regular court session, so there's no need to wear court attire. Since you're going to the morning court session tomorrow, you can summon Zhang Fu to the East Palace later. We'll have Shuangquan accompany you."
Little Zhu remembered something and quickly said, "Our father also asked us to be given a sword, and he asked Wang Daban to bring it to us in a little while."
Old Zhu smiled and nodded, then said, "Alright, your father is indeed meticulous. You're not old enough to go to the Eastern Palace. You must remember that you are the Crown Prince, the foundation of our Great Ming Dynasty. You can reward Zhang Fu with that."
With his current status, Little Zhu doesn't need to deliberately try to win people over. His position is there, so he doesn't need to do anything.
