"You say no?" Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson in disbelief and shouted.
He just wants Zhu Xiongying, his eldest grandson, to give him a guarantee not to kill his uncle or cousin.
Just tell him now, okay?
Doesn't this mean that this eldest grandson will also kill his uncle and his cousin?
Are they, the Zhu family, going to kill each other?
"Dasun, do you know what you are talking about?" Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying sternly, as if he was going to get up and beat him up the next moment.
"I know!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying was not joking at all.
Even if I lie to Lao Zhu and make Lao Zhu feel at ease, if I say it now, I won’t have any thoughts of not doing so in the future.
"You know?" Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, stood up suddenly, and shouted,
"You said you knew?"
"You mean, you have to kill your uncle?"
"Hey, I didn't say that!" Zhu Xiongying quickly pulled Lao Zhu and said.
"You haven't said that yet? We asked you to guarantee it, but you can't guarantee it anymore. What do you mean if you don't mean that?" Lao Zhu asked.
"Grandpa, you said, let me promise that my hands will not be stained with the blood of the Zhu family!"
"That means that whether they are extorting money, oppressing good people, committing lawlessness, or even rebelling, I have to forgive them, right?"
"What's the difference between this and the death-free gold medal you got before?"
"Oh, well, no matter how they try to commit suicide, they won't be killed!"
"Then they want to go to heaven?" Zhu Xiongying said in disapproval.
"Who? Who wants to impose excessive taxes, who oppresses good people, who is committing lawlessness, and who else wants to rebel?"
"Say it, tell us!" Lao Zhu shouted angrily.
"That's not what I meant!" Zhu Xiongying said helplessly.
Whenever people from the Zhu family are involved, especially the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family, Lao Zhu's temper will be extremely bad.
"You can't even give us a guarantee, what else is there to say?" Lao Zhu shouted.
"Grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying's voice gradually became louder and stern,
"That's all there is to it, but rebelling is here to kill me!"
"No matter what, those who rebel will die!"
"You...who do you think will rebel?" Lao Zhu never believed that his Zhu family would rebel one day.
"Okay, let's put it this way. According to you, grandpa, no one will rebel, right?" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Of course, our son, don't we know?"
"They are all from the Zhu family, how could they rebel?" Lao Zhu said proudly.
"Okay, that's easy to handle. If they don't rebel, I won't kill anyone!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Humph, you still don't believe that our son will not rebel!" Lao Zhu said.
"How can I not believe it!" Zhu Xiongying was helpless.
He finally saw what Lao Zhu meant. Even if he rebelled, he could not be killed.
"Grandpa, I can only promise you this and guarantee you that as long as you don't rebel, your life will never be in danger!"
"That's all!" Lao Zhu said a little disappointed,
"We don't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's son will rebel!"
"In this case, we can't control that much. I just hope that you, eldest grandson, can remember that you are all members of the Zhu family."
"They are all the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter when the time comes, I hope you can show mercy to them!" Lao Zhu said.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I can understand!" Zhu Xiongying agreed to this.
"Well, that's good!" Lao Zhu nodded and said immediately,
"But don't worry, Dasun, we will be ready for you at the last moment!"
"If you want to cut down your vassal, it won't be that difficult!"
"In this way, they no longer have the ability to rebel, so naturally they will not do this!"
"But Grandson, if you want to cut down the vassal, you can do it, but ensure their wealth, do you understand?"
"We have passed on the throne to you. Their power is gone, so what is left must be guaranteed to their wealth!"
"Grandpa, I understand. No matter what, we are all members of the Zhu family, and we will not let them fall into despair!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Okay, okay, then we can rest assured!" Lao Zhu nodded and said.
"Okay, you can go too, we have nothing to do here!" Lao Zhu said.
"Yes!" With that said, Zhu Xiongying turned around and left Wuying Hall, heading towards the East Palace.
At this time, the East Palace has not changed much compared to yesterday. The mourning hall is still there, and Zhu Yunwen is still guarding it.
The only difference is that Zhu Yunwen started eating and drinking today.
He finally listened to what Zhu Xiongying said yesterday.
And today is probably the earliest day Zhu Xiongying comes back.
"Where's Yunxi?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
"Your Highness, the Third Highness is in his palace!" Chen Ergou said.
"Go and see if he is asleep. If not, let him come over!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Well, go to the pharmacy and bring some saltpeter!" Zhu Xiongying ordered.
"Yes!" With that said, the person also left here.
Although they didn't know what Zhu Xiongying wanted the saltpeter for, it was not their place to ask.
Whatever orders their master gave them, they just had to obey them. Where did all this nonsense come from.
Zhu Xiongying took advantage of this time to wash up under Shunzi and the others.
The saltpeter was delivered, and Zhu Yunxi also ran over.
"Brother, I'm here!" Zhu Yunxi shouted.
"Well, look how hot you are!" Zhu Xiongying smiled and said.
"Brother, what do you want from me?" Zhu Yunxi didn't care about that, but asked directly.
"I asked you to open the shop today!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Shop? Brother, do you really want me to sell things?" Zhu Yunxi said a little unhappy.
"Nonsense, am I still lying to you?"
"Okay, boy, if this thing is used properly, there will be a lot of benefits!"
"Think about it, you don't really need money now, well, you do!"
"At the very least, you still need to ask others for it, but what about when you have money yourself?"
"Then there's no need to ask for it?"
"And you can spend it however you want, and you don't need to worry about other things at all!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"this···"
"Ha, silly boy, okay, listen to me, that's right!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi agreed.
"Yes!" Zhu Xiongying was very satisfied when he saw that he agreed.
"Then what exactly do you want me to do, brother?" Zhu Yunxi was still curious.
"Haha, come and see!" As he said that, Zhu Xiongying took the saltpeter he had prepared earlier and a basin of water!
As the saltpeter was put in, soon, a little bit of ice slag appeared on the water surface in such weather.
"This...this is..." Zhu Yunxi stared at the situation in the basin with his eyes widened.
Even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but reached out and touched it.
"Ice, it's really ice!"
"Hahaha, boy, of course it's ice!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"There shouldn't be anyone selling ice in the market now, right?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
"No, their own ice is shipped back from other places in winter. They don't like it enough for their own use, so how can they still sell it!"
"Even if it is sold, if it is released now, it will be gone soon!" Zhu Yunxi said excitedly.
"Hahaha, how about I let you sell it?" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi said without any resistance now.
"But, can I use it myself?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Haha, of course that's okay!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile,
"However, you don't want to go there yourself, I just want you to keep an eye on me!" Zhu Yunxi said,
"What will happen if a grand grandson of the emperor becomes the shopkeeper himself?" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Yeah, now I understand!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Hahaha, you stinky boy!" Zhu Xiongying touched his head and said.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. It just so happens that I will go out of the palace tomorrow to discuss it with my uncle and the others!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Brother, are you going to leave the palace too?" Zhu Yunxi asked curiously.
"Haha, of course, I still have to talk to my uncle and the others carefully!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Then should I go too?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Well, let's talk about it carefully when the time comes. You will be responsible from now on, so naturally you will go too!" Zhu Xiongying said,
"From now on, you will represent me!"
"Hey, don't worry, big brother, I won't embarrass you!" Zhu Yunxi promised.
"Hahaha, that's fine. From now on, eldest brother's wallet will be up to you!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Don't worry, brother!" Zhu Yunxi patted his not-so-strong chest and said with a smile.
