Sapphire?
Zhu Yunxuan nodded.
He should be here to see Zhu Yunxi, after all, he is my uncle.
Zhu Yunxi soon lost his mother, and now he has lost his father.
As a relative, Lan Yu should come and take a look.
Although Zhu Di had already told him not to get too close to Lan Yu.
But since Lan Yu is already here, she must meet her out of courtesy.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunzhen no longer hesitated and walked towards the back garden.
As soon as he walked into the back garden, he saw Lan Yu chatting with Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi is fourteen years old this year. He can be regarded as inheriting his father's good genes. He is very handsome and looks rich.
Sitting opposite him, the man with a sturdy back and rough cheeks is the current general, Lan Yu.
"Hey? Fourth brother, are you back from studying?" Seeing Zhu Yunxi coming back, Zhu Yunxi stood up from the stone bench and came forward to say hello cheerfully.
"How about it? Grandpa Huang didn't reprimand you on the first day you entered the palace, right?"
The words are quite cordial.
"Third brother, don't worry!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang is very kind to me."
Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good."
Although Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi were not born from the same mother, their brotherly relationship is still very good.
Zhu Yunzhen is only seven years old now. Before this, the two had no conflicts and got along very harmoniously.
Looking at Zhu Yunxi's cheerful face, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It is said that the imperial family is ruthless, but this is not entirely true.
Many times, it still depends on the situation.
Such as now.
However, Zhu Yunzhen also understood that he might not be able to have such a good relationship in the future.
As people grow up, many things will change.
The throne, interests... these things are all catalysts.
Seeing Zhu Yunzhen, Lan Yu did not say hello, but still sat there with a majestic look on his face.
Zhu Yunxuan also saw that behind Lan Yu, there were more than a dozen fully armed guards.
Good guy, you are indeed a little arrogant!
This is the prince's residence. Although the prince is dead now, his family is still there.
Bringing guards into the house is so crazy!
No wonder Lao Zhu wants to deal with him, this Lan Yu is indeed arrogant and arrogant.
Lan Yu didn't say hello, but Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but talk.
He took a step forward, looked at Lan Yu and said, "I've met my great-uncle."
Lan Yu then put away her majestic expression, forced out a smile, stood up and said, "The Fourth Emperor is so polite."
His voice was hoarse, as if soaked in blood from the battlefield.
Although he stood up to greet him, he could not hide his arrogance.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't care and sat down aside.
He wanted to see the depth of this sapphire.
After a few people chatted for a while, Lan Yu winked at Zhu Yunxi and said, "Xie'er, you go over there and play first. I have something to say to your fourth brother."
There was a hint of superiority in his words, as if he was giving orders.
Perhaps because he had long been accustomed to his personality, Zhu Yunxi just nodded and left.
Zhu Yunxuan looked at this scene and sighed in his heart. After he left, Fang asked: "Uncle, what do you want to say to me?"
Lan Yu did not answer immediately, but said: "It's nothing big, I just want to chat with you alone. I will be busy soon."
"Now, Beiyuan has not yet been pacified, and I still have a lot of things to do."
Zhu Yunzhen remained calm and flattered: "Bei Yuan is a serious concern of the Ming Dynasty, but with General Lan here, we can rest easy!"
Lan Yu raised her eyelids slightly, grinned, and said, "That's natural."
He has no humility and accepts this flattery with peace of mind.
"But..." Lan Yu changed the topic and said: "King Yan has lived in the north for a long time and is skilled in military and horsemanship. He can also intimidate Bei Yuan."
"I heard that someone recommended him as the crown prince."
His voice became solemn unconsciously.
Zhu Yunzhen was slightly startled unconsciously.
This world is really scary.
However, speaking in the palace and talking to the emperor in the palace are extremely private matters.
But in a blink of an eye, everyone knew about it.
That's all for Zhu Di. That guy has been seeking the position of supreme leader. He would not be surprised whether he placed his own people in the palace or in the prince's mansion.
But I didn't expect that even Lan Yu was so well-informed.
If it were not 100% certain that there would be no monitoring equipment in this era, Zhu Yunxun would have had a monitoring device installed on her body.
Otherwise, why would the news spread everywhere?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a creepy feeling.
He blinked his big eyes and looked at Lan Yu, but did not speak.
Lan Yu is a big boss and doesn't know how to make too many twists and turns. Seeing that Zhu Yunzhen didn't speak, she lost her temper.
"Your second brother is naturally weak-tempered. He is indeed not as brave and decisive as your fourth uncle."
"If he becomes emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress your fourth uncle."
"I can understand if you don't recommend him."
These words are extremely out of bounds and are not like what the minister said.
Zhu Yunzhen could only admire Lan Yu for being so bold.
But he just pretended not to hear.
Well, I'm still a doll.
Some words go in the left ear, come out the right ear, and are forgotten when you turn around. Isn’t it normal?
All children are like this!
Lan Yu changed the subject.
"Xi'er, my great-uncle wants to ask you, who is closer to you, your fourth uncle or your third brother?"
Zhu Yunzhen understood what Lan Yu meant instantly.
Zhu Yunxi was his nephew. If possible, he would of course hope that Zhu Yunxi would inherit the throne.
The next best thing is Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly became serious, and said seriously in a childish voice: "Uncle, the country, the country, the country, is not a family matter, but a state matter! On the road to the great road, the world is for the common good, no matter how close we are to each other?"
As if she didn't believe that these words came from a six or seven-year-old child, Lan Yu was stunned.
"Uncle, am I right?" Zhu Yunzhen asked when Lan Yu didn't speak.
Being speechless by a child, the embarrassment on Lan Yu's face flashed away.
"Yes, that's right."
There is nothing wrong with this statement.
He could only nod, and then asked: "But how do you know that your third brother is not as good as your fourth uncle?"
Zhu Yunzhen sighed: "The third brother is still young and not as powerful as the fourth uncle."
Lan Yu lowered her voice and said: "But he is your brother. You have the same blood. Your fourth uncle is still an outsider after all."
"Besides, your third brother is already fourteen, so he is not young."
"Let me ask you again, if your third brother is as smart as your fourth uncle, then how should you choose?"
Lan Yu is quite aggressive.
Looking at Lan Yu who still didn't give up, Zhu Yunzhen hesitated for a moment.
He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it at this time.
A gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves to rustle.
The weather in the afternoon seemed to be getting hotter and muggier at this moment.
"Shen'er, tell me, do you really have no confidence in your third brother? Or do you have no confidence in me?"
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned.
I didn't expect him to speak so bluntly.
No scruples.
What a crazy temptation on the road to death!
Looking at Lan Yu who still refused to give up, Zhu Yunzhen decided to express what was in his heart.
"Uncle, before I answer you, I want to ask you a question first."
Seeing his serious expression, Lan Yu asked doubtfully, "What's the problem?"
Zhu Yunxuan looked directly into Lan Yu's eyes and asked in a childish voice: "Uncle, what do you think about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killing Madam Gou Yi and abandoning his mother after having a son?"
As soon as the voice fell, Lan Yu's pupils suddenly dilated!
