Prince of Chaos

Chapter 211 The Prince's Brother Is A Good Man

After having a pleasant chat with Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo was still thinking about being kind to his younger brother as always.

Zhu Changluo asked Emperor Wanli for some herbal tea and cakes and then went to Changchun Palace to see Zhu Changxun, the little fat boy.

When Zhu Changxun saw that his brother was sending delicious food again, his eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Brother Prince."

Zhu Changluo smiled warmly and watched Zhu Changxun, who was like a ball, come over. He said kindly, "Brother Changxun, do you miss the prince?"

Zhu Changxun took a bite of the herbal tea and cake that Zhu Changluo sent, and said immediately, "I miss you."

Then he took a furtive look behind him, and said quietly: "Mother Concubine won't let me miss you, Mother Concubine said that the prince's elder brother is not a good person."

Zhu Changluo bared his teeth and said to Zhu Changxun, "Then do you think Brother Prince is a good person?"

Zhu Changxun said firmly: "Brother Prince is a good man."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "That's right, as long as you think your brother is a good person."

At this moment, Concubine Zheng came out.

When Concubine Zheng watched Zhu Changluo, who was trying to lure her son again, to appear in Changchun Palace, her teeth itched with hatred.

When Zhu Changluo saw Concubine Zheng approaching, Zhu Changluo bowed slightly and said, "Meet Madam Zheng."

Then he got up by himself.

Concubine Zheng looked at Zhu Changluo's appearance, she snorted and said, "The prince is so free? Is it interesting to bully our orphans and widows like this?"

Zhu Changluo yelled wronged, "Ms. Zheng, how can you think like this? Chang Luo's brotherhood towards Chang Xun's brother comes from the heart. As the eldest brother, Chang Luo loves Chang Xun's brother very much. I'm happy to see it come to fruition. Madam Zheng don't wrong Chang Luo like this again."

Concubine Zheng didn't want to take care of Zhu Changluo, so she went directly to pinch Zhu Changxun's ear and dragged him to the inner hall of Changchun Palace, Zhu Changxun was pulled and screamed.Shouting loudly, "Brother Prince, help!"

When Zhu Changluo saw the poor Zhu Changxun, he immediately said, "Madam Zheng, let Brother Chang Xun go, Chang Luo has something to tell you."

Concubine Zheng didn't even look at Zhu Changluo, "I have nothing to say to you."

Zhu Changluo immediately chased after him, "Would you like to see Chang Xun's younger brother be crowned king?"

Zhu Changluo fixed Zheng Guifei in one sentence.

Now Zhu Changxun is everything to Concubine Zheng. Emperor Wanli has long forgotten her, and he has seen her less and less these years.Now the only thing she can rely on is her fat son.

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Concubine Zheng let go of the hand that was pinching Zhu Changxun's ears. She looked at Zhu Changluo and said in surprise, "You want to separate our mother and child?"

Concubine Zheng was really scared. He was really afraid that Zhu Changluo would mention it to Emperor Wanli, and then he would enshrine Zhu Changxun as a vassal. At that time, she would never want to see Zhu Changxun again in her life.

Hearing Concubine Zheng's terrified voice, Zhu Changluo knew that Concubine Zheng had immediately misunderstood him.

Zhu Changluo said: "Ms. Zheng, Chang Luo never thought of separating you from Brother Chang Xun. On the contrary, Chang Luo always hoped that Brother Chang Xun could stay in the same place in Beijing, and Cheng Huan would enjoy the family happiness under the knee of his father."

However, Concubine Zheng did not believe this.

Concubine Zheng looked at the upright Zhu Changluo, and finally lowered her head again.

Concubine Zheng pleaded to Zhu Changluo: "Prince, please don't let Chang Xun become king so early. He is the only child in this palace. If he leaves, there will be nothing left in this palace."

Looking at the pitiful Concubine Zheng, Zhu Changluo sighed, "Why did Madam Zheng misunderstand me so much? When did I say that I would let Chang Xun's younger brother become a feudal clan? According to the ancestral system, the prince should wait until he is 20 years old." I went. Brother Chang Xun is not yet ten years old, and has not yet reached the age of becoming a king, what are you talking about?"

However, these words stopped in the ears of Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Zheng thought that Zhu Changluo was definitely going to use this matter to blackmail him. There is a lot of knowledge in it, so Concubine Zheng was extremely panicked.

Concubine Zheng Gui knelt down without dignity.

This kneeling scared Zhu Changluo a lot.

Zhu Changluo quickly dodged, and then said to the eunuchs and maids beside him, "Hurry up and help the imperial concubine up."

When Concubine Zheng was forcibly lifted up, Zhu Changluo said: "Why bother, Madam Zheng? Chang Luo really came here today for the sake of younger brother Chang Xun. The emperor now has me and younger brother Chang Xun as two sons. You are still the father. The white moonlight in the emperor's heart is based on emotion and reason, and Chang Luo will not do bad things that violate his conscience. Today Chang Luo came to tell Zheng Niangniang about this because Chang Luo is now the clan order of the clan mansion. Chang Luo knows how many vassals and counties in this world are waiting for the court's salary to live. As the prince of the father, as the order of the clan, Chang Luo should also share the worries of the father, so Chang Luo has a small The suggestion is that starting with Chang Xun's younger brother, if the future princes do not contribute to the court, they will not be allowed to become kings. What do you think of Chang Luo's proposal?"

After Zheng Guifei heard Zhu Changluo's proposal, she looked at Zhu Changluo in disbelief.

"Is what you said true?"

Zhu Changluo said: "It's absolutely true, that's what Chang Luo thinks. However, the resistance to this matter is huge, and Chang Luo can't complete it alone, so today Chang Luo came to Zheng Niangniang to ask Zheng Niangniang for help."

Concubine Zheng looked at Zhu Changluo's sincere gaze, and finally asked, "How can I help you?"

Zhu Changluo said: "It's very simple, just beg your father not to crown Chang Xun king."

After Zheng Guifei heard Zhu Changluo's proposal, she hesitated.

If Chang Xun is not crowned king, then Chang Xun will be an ordinary prince in the future, and future descendants will not inherit the throne. Sooner or later, the blood will be reduced, and no one in the world can remember that there was an emperor The matter of the third son Zhu Changxun.

However, once she becomes a king, it means that after Zhu Changxun reaches a certain age, the necessary country will become a vassal. At that time, it is impossible for her and Zhu Changxun to see each other again in this lifetime.Therefore, Concubine Zheng hesitated.

Looking at the hesitating Concubine Zheng, Zhu Changluo also understood that this sacrifice seemed a little too big, for on the one hand, his son's hereditary vassal lord, on the other hand, the family happiness of his son staying by his side.

This really made it difficult for Concubine Zheng to make a choice.

Finally, Zhu Changluo said: "Madam Zheng, you can think about it carefully. After you have considered it, you can send someone to tell Chang Luo at any time."

Then, Zhu Changluo left.

The reason why Zhu Changluo found Concubine Zheng to take the initiative to talk about it this time was because it was too difficult. Although he was a clan member, he wanted to lead the reform of the clan, but he really wanted to change it to the prince and vassal. , this resistance is definitely not ordinary.

First of all, the first resistance comes from Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system, the second is the civil official group that maintains the ancestral system, and the second is the huge group of vassal princes and kings with vested interests.

If they opposed it vigorously, with Zhu Changluo's current strength, he would definitely not be able to promote a little bit of effective clan reform.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Changluo had to attract someone to attract the firepower to destroy the ancestral system, and the best candidate for this person was Concubine Zheng, who now had a son. As long as Concubine Zheng dared to take the first step, Zhu Changluo would dare to push the flames behind. The second step, finally, when the time is ripe and Zhu Changluo's own strength is strong enough, he can proceed logically to cut the vassal and abolish the king!
Only then will Zhu Changluo free up most of the silver and resources for the imperial court to save the northern people from the terrible little ice age.
