Chapter 248 Imperial Power is a Public Tool
"Imperial power is a public instrument. If you cannot hold on to it, you will inevitably hurt yourself."
Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen seriously and spoke slowly.
Having reached this position, whether Zhu Yunwen was willing or not, he had to compete with Zhu Ming.
If they lose the fight, what awaits them is eternal damnation.
"Mother..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Lu's bloody hands, frowned, and shouted in a trembling voice.
Just looking at Zhu Yunwen like this, Lu was not shaken at all, but just turned her head away coldly.
"Zhang Yong!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Yong immediately stood up straight and listened carefully.
Lu didn't say anything, but just stretched out the hand holding the dagger.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yong immediately stretched out his hand, placed it under Lu's hand, and continued to flow blood.
But Lu suddenly raised her hand and stabbed the dagger into Zhang Yong's palm.
Zhang Yong was unable to dodge and was pierced directly.
Feeling the piercing pain in his hand, Zhang Yong just frowned and did not cry out for a long time.
He knew that now was the time that tested him the most.
If he can hold on, he will be the Crown Princess's confidant and the Emperor's eldest grandson's close attendant in the future.
It is only one step away from encroaching on the government and the country.
Only then did Lu pull the knife out of Zhang Yong's hand, and blood gushed out.
"What we need to do is to help you hold this public tool so that you don't get hurt."
When she looked at Zhu Yunwen again, her tone slowed down a bit and she spoke earnestly.
Zhu Yunwen had already lowered his head at this moment, not daring to look at Lu's bloody hand.
"Let's go down and let the imperial physician take a look."
Only then did Mrs. Lu turn around and look at Zhang Yong, who was in pain, and asked him to retreat.
Seeing this, Zhang Yong turned around and ran away.
Although his palm was pierced by the Crown Princess herself, he was extremely excited at the moment.
Because he knew that now not only did the Crown Princess trust him, but even if the Emperor's eldest grandson wanted to drive him away, it would be impossible.
"I know you dislike villains like Zhang Yong."
After watching Zhang Yong leave, Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen and began to teach him earnestly.
Qi Tai and Zhu Yunwen could see that Zhang Yong was an ambitious person, so how could she not see it?
But if we want to fight Zhu Ming, we lack such a powerful chess piece.
"The ascension of Emperor Taizong of Tang was due to the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If you want to ascend the throne, you will inevitably step on the corpses of others."
She looked at the still somewhat immature Zhu Yunwen and thought, it’s time for this child to grow up.
When you are fighting for power, it is impossible to be truly clean.
"We are just doing the dirty work for you so that you can smoothly take the throne that belongs to you."
"Your father is the crown prince. The position of heir should have been yours. How can you easily give it up to that brat Zhu Ming?"
Zhu Yunwen was also persuaded by Lu at this moment, and when he saw Lu brought up his father, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he didn't know how to refute.
Even his own teacher Qi Tai couldn't refute it, let alone him.
Besides, what the Crown Princess said makes sense.
His father was the crown prince, and now that his father has passed away, the position of heir apparent should be his.
"Princess."
Before Mrs. Lu could speak again, an old voice came from outside the door.
The old man with white hair and beard was kneeling outside the door, carrying a medicine box on his back.
Seeing that Lu was bleeding all over the floor, he hurried over and opened Lu's hand.
Seeing the unbearable wound, he hurriedly took out a few medicine bottles from the medicine box to apply medicine to Mrs. Lu.
"Who asked you to come?"
Mrs. Lu looked coldly at the uninvited imperial physician and spoke slowly.
"It was Eunuch Zhang Yong who asked me to come."
The imperial physician responded respectfully while bandaging Mrs. Lu's wound.
After Zhang Yong retired, the first thing he did was not to ask the imperial physician to treat his injuries, but to ask him to come to the Eastern Palace to treat Lu.
When Zhu Yunwen heard that it was Zhang Yong who asked the imperial physician to come, his disgust towards Zhang Yong faded a little.
Thinking back to how the Crown Princess had stabbed Zhang Yong's hand with a dagger just now, he had no complaints at all.
Although this eunuch has a vicious mind, he is still loyal to his mother.
In addition to what the Crown Princess had just said to him, he no longer insisted on driving Zhang Yong out.
"Go back and think about it carefully. If you really don't want Zhang Yong to stay in the palace, I won't force him to stay."
Lu nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly to Zhu Yunwen.
With her understanding of Zhu Yunwen, she naturally knew what Zhu Yunwen was thinking.
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head, responded softly, and retreated respectfully.
Since my mother trusts Zhang Yong so much, and Zhang Yong is quite loyal.
Then let him stay.
"Zhu Ming!"
In the side courtyard of Daming Palace, Zhu Ming was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun comfortably.
After executing Wang Ganju and rescuing Zhu Yunhuan, he now has a rare time to relax.
It was just a hearty voice, but it suddenly made Zhu Ming sit up and look at the door in surprise.
"Zhu Yunxun, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the young man standing outside the side yard, Zhu Ming asked with some confusion.
"Of course I have something to ask you."
Zhu Yunhuan walked in without waiting for Zhu Ming to greet him and glanced around calmly.
The environment of this side courtyard of the Daming Palace is quite soothing.
"Just in time, I also have something to ask you."
Seeing Zhu Yunhuan coming over, Zhu Ming chuckled and looked at him.
Afterwards, he told Chen Ling the whereabouts of Wang Ganju's family members that he had asked Chen Ling to find out.
Upon hearing that Wang Ganju's family was almost wiped out, Zhu Yunhuan frowned and sighed.
"This is within my expectations."
He was only surprised for a moment, and soon regained his composure.
After all, no one knew Lu's character better than him.
"Then what are your plans now?"
After sharing the information he knew with Zhu Yunhuan, Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunhuan seriously and asked slowly.
Zhu Yunhuan should have his own plans now.
"Although I have been released from the imperial prison, I am still far from being able to compete with Zhu Yunwen for the position of crown prince."
As Zhu Ming thought, Zhu Yunhuan nodded, looked at Zhu Ming slowly, and began to analyze.
"I was named a prince because I was not favored."
"In Grandfather Huang's heart, he can't compare with Zhu Yunwen at all."
"Now he has been accused of witchcraft, which has created an even bigger rift between him and Grandfather Emperor."
Zhu Yunhuan analyzed the situation carefully and came to only one conclusion: "As I am now, I am still far from being able to compete with Zhu Yunwen for the position of crown prince."
After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Zhu Ming also fell silent.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, what Zhu Yunhuan said was true.
Among all the royal heirs, Zhu Ming was undoubtedly the most favored, but Zhu Ming was still an outsider.
In addition, there is Zhu Yunwen.
