Chapter 297 Urgent Performance
Zhu Yunhuan's memorial was written in front of him, so he naturally knew that it was empty.
Therefore, he was even more unsure whether such a unoriginal memorial could be approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Who knows."
Zhu Yunhuan calmly poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and savored it carefully.
With the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, even Zhu Ming could not think of a better solution.
Sending troops to pursue them would be disadvantageous, and sitting back and watching the eighteen tribes on the grassland recuperate would be unwise.
Only by opening up trade, eliminating hatred, stationing troops on the border and deterring the enemy can we ensure temporary peace on the border.
"How do you sit still like this?"
Seeing that Zhu Yunxun was not nervous at all and was in the mood to drink tea, Zhu Yunwen began to question him with some displeasure.
Does Zhu Yunhuan really not care at all?
"The memorial has already been submitted. Getting nervous won't help."
Zhu Yunhuan shook his head. Anyway, the things had already been handed in. What difference did it make if he was nervous?
Besides, even if I fail to satisfy the Emperor, all I would lose is the position of Crown Prince.
He had given up dreaming of becoming the crown prince a long time ago.
"Your Highnesses."
Zhu Yunwen wanted to argue with Zhu Yunhuan when Zhang Yong walked in.
The swelling from the injury he received from Zhu Ming last time has not yet completely subsided, and he looks extremely funny.
Behind him followed a eunuch whom Zhu Yunwen and the others had never seen before.
When the eunuch came in, he ignored Zhang Yong and walked forward to bow to Zhu Yunwen and his brother: "Your Highnesses, His Majesty asked me to come."
Upon hearing that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who asked the eunuch to come, Zhu Yunwen immediately stood up straight, fearing that his memorial would make Zhu Yuanzhang dissatisfied.
It was Zhu Yunhuan who also stood up from his seat and looked at him with some surprise.
"Why did the Emperor ask you to come?"
Zhu Yunwen was still somewhat worried, so he looked at the eunuch cautiously and asked a question tentatively.
"It was not stated explicitly, but the two princes were asked to come to the palace."
The eunuch also shook his head. He was just following orders, but the reason for the matter was not his business.
Zhu Yunwen heard this and had to force himself to calm down. He looked at the eunuch who came to invite them and said, "We understand. Please wait for a moment. We two brothers will change our clothes and follow you into the palace."
Zhu Ming lived in a remote area of Daming Palace, much closer to it than to the Eastern Palace.
When Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunhuan arrived at the Daming Palace under the guidance of the eunuch, Zhu Ming had already been standing there, quietly waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's summons.
"My two royal brothers, you are here too?"
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxun who were walking up from behind him with some surprise, and asked with a smile.
It seems that the old man is looking for me this time not because of the matter of the Eighteen Divisions of the Grassland.
"Zhu Ming, didn't you write a memorial?"
Zhu Yunwen was also a little surprised when he saw Zhu Ming, who had been waiting outside the Daming Palace to be summoned.
Didn’t Zhu Ming say that he would not get involved in the memorials from the eighteen grassland tribes this time?
“No.”
Zhu Ming nodded. The answers he gave were definitely different from those given by Zhu Yunhuan and the others.
If it was just because of the matter of the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland, the three of them should not have been summoned at the same time.
Zhu Yunwen nodded thoughtfully and then looked towards the Daming Palace.
So why did this old man come to see them?
"Your Highnesses, you may enter now."
The three of them waited outside the Daming Palace for a long time before Yun Qi walked out of the Daming Palace, nodded towards them and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhu Ming, Zhu Yunwen and the other two then set off and headed straight for the Daming Palace.
"Grandson, meet Grandpa."
As soon as they entered the Daming Palace, the three of them saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon throne with his eyes closed as if he was resting.
Only after hearing the voice of his grandson did Zhu Yuanzhang slowly open his eyes and look at them with his calm eyes.
"They're all here."
He glanced at the person standing in front of him, who had quietly grown from a child into a talented and vigorous man.
"I wonder why Grandpa Huang is looking for us?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little worried and couldn't help but ask first.
"We have read your two national policies on the eighteen tribes of the grassland. They are well written."
Zhu Yuanzhang first nodded to Zhu Yunwen and others, confirming their meaning.
When Zhu Yunwen heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that his national policy was good, the stone in his heart finally settled down, but he was still a little confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang then turned around and looked at Zhu Ming again, and nodded in the same manner: "As for your suggestion, I also think it is feasible."
It is precisely because the three imperial grandsons all gave feasible solutions, and Zhu Ming’s suggestion is even more about the future.
That's why he was hesitant among the three of them.
"This is an urgent letter from Hunan. Please take a look at it."
He sighed helplessly and threw the memorial in his hand in front of Zhu Ming and the other two.
When Zhu Ming heard the word Hunan, his expression immediately became nervous.
If he remembered correctly, Hunan was the place where Wang Ganju's family was wiped out.
Zhu Yunwen was quick-witted and picked up the memorial first.
After just a few quick glances, his expression immediately became solemn.
"Grandpa Emperor... this..."
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a complicated expression, and was speechless for a moment.
"Brother, let me see."
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's somewhat strange expression, Zhu Ming became more curious about the content of this urgent report.
As he spoke, he had already taken the urgent report from Zhu Yunwen.
Hunan, an unidentified corpse...
Even though the memorial did not specify the details of the incident, Zhu Ming's intuition told him that this incident might be related to the extermination of Wang Ganju's family.
He stared at the memorial for a long time and refused to let go.
It seemed as if the clue to the extermination of Wang Ganju's family was hidden in this memorial.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also somewhat helpless: "Please pass it around and have a look."
After being reminded by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming came to his senses and handed the memorial to Zhu Yunhuan who was standing nearby.
After the three of them had read the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight and looked at them seriously: "Have you finished reading it?"
"Yes."
The three of them responded in unison.
"Do you see what's wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and asked again.
"When a murder occurs within the country, the local prefect should be informed and the government offices should jointly investigate."
"But this memorial was sent directly to the emperor by the magistrate of Ji County without going through the governor of Hunan."
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Ming responded one after another.
By doing this, the magistrate of Ji County was reporting the case to a higher authority. If there was no injustice, he should be punished.
As a county magistrate, it is impossible for him not to know the consequences of doing so.
Therefore, the only explanation for this matter is that these unidentified corpses may be related to the Hunan prefect.
