In the Imperial Garden.

"Now that the traitor has been eliminated and the grandson's mission has been completed, please take back the emperor's orders, depose the grandson from the position of grandson, and establish a new heir!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Zhu Yunxi knelt directly on the ground and said seriously without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but froze, and looked at the grandson kneeling in front of him in surprise, who he had not paid much attention to in the past ten years. The complex emotions in his heart were beyond words for a moment.

Looking at the entire royal family, whether it is the prince or the emperor's grandson, or even the current second emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, no one is vying to become the crown prince, but Zhu Yunxi has become the only exception.

The joy behind this unexpected surprise and relief made Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly feel as if he had seen the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps it would be a good choice to pass the throne to such a grandson, even if this grandson was once despised and despised by the world like a rat crossing the street.

"Have you never thought about actually getting the position of great grandson?"

"Didn't you just say that you hope to get rid of the past and gain the respect of the world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and asked seriously.

"This is indeed my grandson's long-cherished wish for the rest of his life, but it is not only possible to achieve all this by becoming a grandson or a heir apparent."

"There are many ways to succeed. My grandson has never expected to be able to take charge of the country one day. He only hopes to be able to stay with Grandpa Huang without being disliked. He will do his best to assist Grandpa Huang, help him peacefully conquer the world and defend the border. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let our Ming Dynasty endure for a long time!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said with a pious expression, so emotional that he almost believed it himself.

Seeing the sincere look on his grandson's face and listening to his resounding answers, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart surged for a moment, and the joy in his heart gradually overflowed from his words, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Get up, the ground is cold."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly stretched out a hand and said with loving eyes.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and stood up slowly, with a smile on his face that showed no harm to humans and animals, and an open-minded and teachable smile.

"Those who care about the world must be generous and benevolent. Although Yunwen made mistakes, I hope that you brothers will not eventually become incompatible with each other. Don't bear any grudge against him for what happened this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the calm lake again and said seriously, with a trace of helplessness flashing between his brows.

"My grandson understands that Grandpa Huang doesn't need to worry too much. My grandson knows that my second brother is only concerned about the matter and not the person."

"What's more, if it hadn't been for him in the past ten years, my grandson might not be alive today."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said seriously, his words full of gratitude.

"I know that the last time you were assassinated in Mixue Bing Pavilion was committed by the Lu family."

"If you have resentment in your heart and want to express your anger like this, I won't blame you. After all, it is Lu Wenbo who deserves it."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the Lu family, saying meaningfully.

"Grandpa Huang, is this true?"

"It turns out that it was the Lu family who assassinated my grandson last time?!"

Zhu Yunxi pretended to be shocked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked in disbelief.

"You didn't know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Yunxi and asked seriously.

"My grandson really didn't know. I didn't expect that it was Lu Wenbo who gave the order!"

"No wonder Grandpa Huang said what he said just now, but Grandpa Huang, my grandson feels that even if the Lu family took action, my grandson would never believe that it was his second brother who was behind it. There must be some misunderstanding in this."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and replied seriously, still justifying Zhu Yunwen in his words.

"That's all, since Lu Wenbo is dead, I won't pursue anything further."

"I'm very pleased that you can be so generous."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, looked at Zhu Yunxi with satisfaction, and said with a look of relief.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and scratched his head, showing a shy look, but said nothing more.

But he kept thinking about it because he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was still testing him and did not really believe in him as he seemed on the surface.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is still hesitant between him and Zhu Yunwen regarding the position of grandson. Therefore, after so many things happened, Zhu Yunwen was only banned from Jinxiu Palace in the end and did not receive much punishment.

But he didn't take it to heart, because he never thought about killing Zhu Yunwen through this incident. If killing could solve all problems, then he would not keep Zhu Yunwen until now.

Moreover, now that Zhu Yunwen has completely broken with King Yan, even though it seems that there are still many doubts about Lu Wenbo's death and Xie Linzhou's collusion with the party, there is no need to pay attention to any evidence in the fight for the heir apparent!

Once the fight begins between the two of them, for Zhu Yunxi, the goal has been achieved.

Speaking of which, if Zhu Yunwen hadn't spilled the beans in a moment of impatience in the hall, relying on past favors, maybe he wouldn't have been directly banned. It's just that he was too eager for success at the time!

Jinyiwei directly obeyed the emperor's orders. How could Zhu Yuanzhang allow others to intervene secretly? ! No matter what the purpose was, it was something Zhu Yuanzhang could not tolerate.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yunwen does not receive a more severe punishment this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in him will be completely reduced and will never be the same.

In this way, Zhu Yunxi will be one step closer to the position of crown prince!

"You did a good job on this errand. What reward do you want?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and continued to ask.

"Is it okay for my grandson to want anything?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked sheepishly.

"As long as it's not too much, I will satisfy you."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi hesitantly, nodded and said.

"My grandson promised Xie Linzhou to preserve the Xie family. Since Xie Linzhou is dead, I hope the emperor will be kind and forgive the Xie family."

"Nothing else to ask for."

Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"that's it?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

Originally, he wanted to reward him well, but he didn't expect that his grandson would not do what he asked for at all.

"that's it."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and answered without hesitation.

"Xie Linzhou's crime of colluding with the party is unforgivable. If he only kills one person, how can he serve as an example to others and shock the entire court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said thoughtfully. He couldn't help but feel that this grandson was a little too kind.

"Just keep the female family members."

But Zhu Yunxi's next words made Zhu Yuanzhang raise his eyebrows and purse his lips with a smile.

"Okay, I agree."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi bowed respectfully.

He is not a fool. After all, Xie Linzhou is the pawn who died because of him. If the male Xie family is allowed to grow up, if the matter is exposed in the future, he will definitely avenge Xie Linzhou!

He understands better than anyone else the principle of eradicating the weeds!

Saving the female members of the Xie family not only fulfilled the promise to Xie Linzhou, but also ensured that the Xie family would not become his mortal enemies in the future, and might also gain a good reputation and make the Xie family grateful.

After the grandfather and grandson exchanged a few more pleasantries, Zhu Yunxi said goodbye and left the imperial garden.

After staying up all night and half a day, he really couldn't stand it anymore. His eyelids were already fighting, and he had to go back and get a good sleep.

After Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Yunxi leave, Zhu Yuanzhang stood alone in the promenade by the lake, looking at the calm lake, and fell into deep thought again.

Until Zhu Yunxi's back disappeared into the distance, he never mentioned a word about whether the grandson's position was deposed!

"Let Jiang Yu come into the palace to see me."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses, grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the lake. He said something coldly, then turned around and returned to Minghe Hall.

Wang Defa agreed and immediately sent people out of the palace.

The calm lake surface boiled instantly when a handful of fish food was thrown in, and the fish began to snatch it crazily!

A red two-headed lin opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, bit a small fish in front of it by the waist, and then swallowed it instantly!

The blood dyed the lake water red, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

As the footsteps faded away, the lake quickly returned to its previous calmness...
