Zhu Yunying wasn't really speaking from the heart; he was used to it. "Fifth Uncle, we know what the imperial clan says is useless. It doesn't matter if they're not close to us. As long as the imperial clan is doing well, we're happy."
Although he knew what was going on, he still had to be polite on the surface, saying, "Your Majesty, the imperial clan is still close to you, and everyone knows that Your Majesty cares about our imperial clan."
Zhu Yunying smiled; he understood some things. Right now, only his fifth uncle, Zhu Su, was relatively relaxed in front of him; the other uncles were actually quite nervous around him.
Many of those uncles were actually younger than Zhu Yunying. Aside from their seniority, they didn't really have any advantage over Zhu Yunying. Some of the younger ones were even subtly reprimanded by Zhu Yunying under the guise of disciplining his nephews and nieces.
For example, Prince Yin and his relatives studied at the Grand Hall just like the grandchildren of the younger generation, Zhu Yunying, and naturally had a lot of dealings with him. However, at that time, although the uncles and other members of the family might receive some preferential treatment, everyone understood the hidden meaning in Zhu Yunying's words.
After all, once Zhu Yunying finished speaking, the Hongwu Emperor immediately knew about it and then severely punished his younger sons.
The only one capable of filing a complaint is Xiao Zhu, or even Xiao Xiao Zhu; everyone knows that.
Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial clan, Emperor Yingshi was a typical smiling tiger. Everyone knew that Emperor Yingshi often did only superficial work, wanting both substance and appearance.
After talking with Zhu Su, Zhu Yunying was actually showing affection and reassuring the imperial clan, which was the attitude Zhu Yunying should have.
It's perfectly normal for an emperor to want to be ambitious and have everything!
