Chapter 48 Curious Dick
Zhu Yuanzhang read the entire book while suppressing his anger.

The conversation between the other party and his son made him feel a lot of thoughts.

He leaned back and looked at the golden dragon sculpture in the imperial study, and he let out a long breath.

Just as his son said, Yang Chen’s appearance seemed to break the tranquility of the lake.

Can a lake that has now been rippled more than once still be the same lake?

Think about your grandson, your son, and even his sister.

If things had gone on as planned, Zhu Yuanzhang’s fate would have ended in tragedy.

After discussing with his sister yesterday, he found that he could not bear the pain of losing his sister.

If his sister really passed away, what would be the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang’s life in this world?
All his family members are gone, and he is left alone to guard his inheritance. Is this a reward for the empire he built, or a punishment from God for spending half his life killing people?

Looking back on my life, all I wanted was to establish a peaceful and prosperous era and put order into the chaos of the Central Plains of China.

Opening his eyes again, Zhu Yuanzhang retracted these chaotic thoughts and ordered in a deep voice:
“Send someone to ask the King of Yan and the King of Qin to go to Wenhua Palace together, quickly.”

“Yes!”

The guard outside the door responded with a powerful voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang also left his imperial study and began to walk towards the Wenhua Hall.

Compared to the Eastern Palace, Wenhua Hall is actually not far from his imperial study.

However, he did not walk very fast, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, because he was thinking in his heart how to deal with Yang Chen, a guy from the future who had a completely uncontrollable temperament.

Wenhua Hall was a place that Zhu Biao often visited on weekdays. He was very familiar with the place and quickly brought Yang Chen inside.

“Yang Chen, please sit down for a while. My father hasn’t arrived yet.”

When they arrived at the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Biao was very generous and did not let Yang Chen stand and wait for Zhu Yuanzhang.

He is not a stubborn person and there are some things that don’t need to be followed.

Yang Chen was very polite. He found a chair nearby, sat down, crossed his legs, and poured himself a cup of tea.

It has to be said that the royal family was really generous in building the palace. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was famous for his frugality, stipulated that things used by the royal family must be made of good materials.

For example, the chair he is sitting on now is made of nearly a hundred-year-old yellow pear wood.

It has insect-proof properties and is considered a luxury item no matter what era it is.

After Yang Chen sat down, Zhu Biao ignored him.

Instead, he went to clean up the things he had not finished this morning.

The reason why he went to look for Yang Chen just now was because it was time for a lunch break.

He didn’t expect that Yang Chen could sleep so well and only woke up at noon.

If Yang Chen knew his inner thoughts, he would definitely feel extremely helpless.

I was just following the normal schedule of later generations, but I was actually considered to be sleeping in. This is a huge injustice.

Bored, Yang Chendong looked around to see what was inside the Wenhua Hall.

The layout of the palace is very aesthetic, and both the screens and the sculptures on the walls can be said to be exquisite.

Even the vases placed in the corner are obviously good things at first glance.

Not to mention that it could be exchanged for a house in the future, it is also worth a lot of money even now, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it.

Just when he was bored, he heard footsteps outside.

I thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang who came, but when I turned around, it was actually Zhu Di, and there was a man beside him who looked 60% like Zhu Biao.

He didn’t need to guess much to know that this guy must be a prince.

After entering here, Zhu Di seemed a little uneasy when he saw Yang Chen. When he returned to his mansion last night, Zhu Di went straight to find his adviser.

When the other party heard Yang Chen’s identity, he did not say anything else but only made one request to Zhu Di.

That is to stay away from Yang Chen as much as possible. Yang Chen’s appearance will not only change his fate, but may even bring him danger.

Now he was in the same place as Yang Chen, so Zhu Di had no choice but to do as his adviser said.

He quickly switched positions with his second brother at lightning speed, letting the other party stand in front while he stood behind.

However, Yang Chen saw all his dodges.

When the two began to approach, Yang Chen greeted them with a warm and bright smile.

“Your Highness Prince Yan, after not seeing you for just one night, why do you act as if you’ve seen the plague god when you see me?
I don’t look scary, do I? “

Zhu Chong, who was standing in front, winked slightly, turned to look at his brother, and then looked at Yang Chen.

He didn’t understand why his usually arrogant brother could be so scared of an ordinary person?
In fact, to him, Yang Chen was indeed ordinary. The only special thing about him was his neat short hair.

It’s just different from their long hair that needs to be tied up in a bun.

However, there were people with short hair in the Ming Dynasty, they were just rare.

“Haha~ Yang Chen, you think too highly of yourself.

I am the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty. I am of noble status and I am fearless. How could I be afraid of you?

It’s just that I don’t want to have too much to do with you. With your mouth, whoever you say will be in trouble. If I don’t avoid you, am I waiting to be affected by you? I’m not stupid.”

Afterwards, Zhu Di mustered up his courage and stood up to speak.

It would be strange if he could have a good attitude and a good impression towards Yang Chen at this moment.

Thinking about the advice his adviser had given him, plus what the other party had said yesterday, none of them were good things at all.

The most important thing is that the way Yang Chen looked at him always made Zhu Di feel weird.

He swore that Yang Chen must be holding a grudge against him because he had not given him enough face before.

If he had known this would happen, Zhu Di would never have offended Yang Chen.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Now Zhu Di can only avoid it as much as possible. He cannot admit this matter yet.

It’s really funny to say.

Knowing that Zhu Di did not have a good impression of him, Yang Chen did not continue to ask.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. There will be plenty of opportunities to make Zhu Di regret it in the future.

Zhu Chong, who was standing in the middle, saw his elder brother walking towards him.

Thinking that his father would show up soon, he quickly turned his head to look at his younger brother.

“Old Four, who is this guy? Why are you so scared of him?
Father will be here soon, but he still dares to sit here. My elder brother seems to be very indulgent towards him. Could he be a relative of the emperor of Fengyang?”

In response to his second brother’s question, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something.

Before, the Queen Mother asked Yang Chen about the cause of her eldest brother’s death.

It seemed that someone mentioned that the eldest brother’s serious illness began to develop after he returned from Xi’an, the fiefdom of his second brother in Shaanxi.

There are two reasons for the inspection.

One reason was that his father wanted to change the capital, and the other reason was that his second brother had done something bad in the fiefdom, which led to someone reporting it to the court.

In other words, the death of his eldest brother, in addition to his father, was most likely related to his second brother.
