In the eighth year of Jianwu, Yu Wenhong was only six years old, yet he had already attained the status of Crown Prince.
It was originally thought that he could receive guidance from the Emperor and discuss other matters after reaching adulthood.
Unexpectedly, illness struck him like a mountain falling. In just two short years, the once mighty and robust Emperor Yu Wenyan became frail and emaciated.
Seeing that he was about to depart from this world, he summoned four individuals with his last ounce of strength, appointing them as Assistant Ministers.
They were Prime Minister Lin, Prince Zhan, Duke Xu, and the Marquis of Northwest.
At that time, Prime Minister Lin also held the position of tutor to the Crown Prince, so there was both the courtesy of ruler and subject, and the bond of teacher and student between the two.
Among the four, the one closest to Yu Wenhong was indeed Prime Minister Lin.
