Chapter 2 Zhu Yuanzhang: Demoted to a Commoner and Driven Out of the Palace!

"Raise your head!" Zhu Yuanzhang's angry command sounded, and the noisy discussions disappeared instantly. All officials held their breath and looked at the father and son.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to raise his head to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's disappointed gaze.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di's firm eyes and couldn't help biting his back teeth.

"Why do you refuse to be a vassal?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out. With such a large family business, the eldest son gets the most important and best main business, and then gives it to other children. Everyone gets a piece of the family business. The family relies on each other, helps each other, and works together to make this family prosperous. Isn't it good?

Isn't it like this in all large families in the folk?

Why did the fourth son refuse?

Is it because he thinks the share is too little and is angry?

Or does he not want to take responsibility? Want to be the kind of dandy in the big family who eats and waits for death?

Zhu Di sighed.

His father's idea is too idealistic.

If he accepts the division, he will definitely repeat Zhu Di's historical mistakes.

Of course, he knew the course of history and could prepare in advance.

Perhaps he could avoid living in a pigsty and eating pig food, and Jingnan might be easier.

So what?

If he did this, his son, grandson, and grandson's grandson would dare to follow suit!

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Once some things start to go wrong, they cannot be stopped by humans!

He didn't want to make his descendants go crazy and kill for a broken throne, destroying humanity!

And he was not the real Zhu Di.

He was not qualified to calculate the throne of the old Zhu family.

"Speak!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his tone a few points and urged impatiently.

Zhu Di took a deep breath again and mustered up the courage to open his mouth.

He wanted to tell his father about these historical events as a hypothesis! To ring the alarm bell for his father!

"Father..."

"Your Majesty, the King of Yan has a bigger plan, and his heart is worthy of death!" Zhu Di's words were interrupted by a loud shout.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Zhu Di also turned his head.

An official in a scarlet robe stepped out.

It was Lu Ben, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the father of the crown prince's concubine, and Zhu Yunwen's grandfather!

Lu Ben quickly came to Zhu Di's side, glanced at Zhu Di, bowed deeply to the Dragon Court, and shouted earnestly: "The Prince of Yan is unwilling to be a vassal, and wants to stay in the capital, make friends with court officials, and seize the throne!"

"Mr. Lu, be careful with your words!" Zhu Biao shouted with a dark face.

He didn't believe it!

Lü Ben looked at Zhu Biao with great sorrow, "The crown prince has the kindness of an elder brother, but the prince of Yan has no brotherly loyalty!"

"In the past during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Tai, the prince of Wei, and Li Ke, the prince of Shu, reached the age of becoming vassals, but they repeatedly found excuses to shirk their responsibilities and stayed in Chang'an."

"They colluded with court officials and formed their own power, so that the crown prince Li Chenggan had to take risks.

As Lü Ben said this, he turned to Zhu Yuanzhang in the Dragon Court.

Plop!

He knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, saying in a choked voice, "Your Majesty, we must learn from the lessons of the past, and we must not let this trend continue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark, his eyes were sharp, and he stared at Zhu Di like a needle.

Zhu Biao was anxious when he saw this.

"We support Lord Lu!" Just as Zhu Biao was thinking about how to help Zhu Di ease the tension, Lan Yu jumped out and shouted, "Whoever dares to compete with the crown prince for the throne, I will be the first to disagree! My soldiers will not..."

"Go back! "

Zhu Biao turned around angrily and interrupted Lan Yu with an angry scolding.

The echo of Zhu Biao's anger echoed in the hall for a long time.

Lan Yu was stunned.

Everyone in the court was stunned by Zhu Biao.

Since Zhu Biao was appointed as the crown prince, he has never been so angry.

Never scolded his ministers so shamelessly.

After Zhu Biao calmed down the court officials, he hurriedly pleaded with Zhu Di, "Father, there must be a reason why my fourth brother is unwilling to go to the vassal state. You should let my fourth brother finish his words."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with great satisfaction. When he looked at Zhu Di again, his eyes became sharp and he asked coldly: "Fourth brother, do you admit Lü Ben's impeachment of you?"

"Yes!" Zhu Di admitted directly. His father directly mentioned Lü Ben's impeachment, which actually showed that his father was biased towards Lü Ben's suspicion of him.

This situation was also in his plan.

Zhu Yu's face suddenly changed, and he dissuaded him sternly: "Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about! "

Zhu Chong also scolded anxiously: "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense! This is not your purpose at all, you..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Chong and Zhu Di, Zhu Chong shut up instantly.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Chong and Zhu Di.

If they could refuse to become vassals together with him, and sincerely explain the disadvantages of dividing the land and enfeoffment of vassal kings, perhaps they could really convince their father.

They wanted to protect him.

But they didn't have the courage to do this with him.

So they simply didn't implicate the two of them.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, pretending to be unconvinced and said: "We are all sons of the father, why don't we have the qualifications to inherit the imperial power?"

"If I were a vassal, I would also prepare secretly when I went to Beiping!"

"Once the time is right, I will definitely not miss the opportunity and take advantage of it! "

Bang!

When everyone was looking at Zhu Di in shock, the exquisite teacup suddenly hit Zhu Di's chest, and the tea leaves and tea soup splashed on Zhu Di's face, chest, and hair.

Everyone was startled and looked at the embarrassed Zhu Di... Then they all looked at Longting.

After Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the teacup, his hand was still raised, trembling slightly.

His face was ashen, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

For a moment, the whole Fengtian Hall was chilly.

Although Zhu Di's remarks were unbelievable and difficult to accept.

But Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di's embarrassed appearance and couldn't bear to persuade him: "Father..."

"No need to say more!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand decisively to stop Zhu Biao, and said coldly: "Pass my oral order, Yan Wang Zhu Di, demoted to a commoner!"

"Come here!"

Clang......

The imperial guards rushed in.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Di and ordered: "Take off his prince's crown, waist badge, and crown and belt, and drive him out of the palace!"

"From now on, Zhu Di will be expelled from the royal family tree!"

The soldiers did not dare to disobey the emperor's will, and rushed to strip Zhu Di's clothes.

"No need."

Zhu Di raised his hand to wipe his face, wiped off the tea leaves and tea soup, took off the crown and belt, waist badge, and finally took off the outer crown.

Wearing a white lining, he turned around and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were shaking with anger.

Watching Zhu Di walk out of the Fengtian Hall and disappear without looking back.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, flicked his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Retreat!"
