Chapter 268 Zhu Yuanzhang Asks Zhu Di for His Attitude

Imperial Study.

The lunch celebration banquet ended.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front, and Zhu Biao followed behind.

When he saw Ma Xiuying, he asked with a smile: "How is Zhou Lang?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying, who was reading a book, looked up and said, "He is not as honest as his son Zhou Shixian, but he also has a bottom line, which is basically consistent with his previous experience as a yamen runner."

"He is smart, not good at reading, but good at learning in practice. I asked a few questions about Lao Si, and he was still evasive..."

In fact, she knew it a long time ago.

This proves that Zhou Lang is very loyal to Lao Si.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the desk and pointed at the book in front of Ma Xiuying, "Why are you reading Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

Ma Xiuying picked up the book, which was still wrapped in a cover, "This is Zhou Lang's. The fourth son made dense annotations on it. Before Zhou Lang joined the army, he gave her this book as a gift. Zhou Lang always carried it with him. When I heard about it, I was curious and borrowed it to have a look..."

Thinking of Zhou Lang's embarrassed look when he was leaving, he was afraid of offending her and worried that she would forget to return the book.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "The fourth son's annotations are very innovative."

Zhu Yuanzhang took it curiously, looked at it, and laughed, and scolded with a smile: "If I had read his annotations earlier, I might not be so worried!"

"Father, can I take a look at it?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed it to Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Biao carefully read a few pages, he looked at Ma Xiuying, "Mother, I will go back and copy two copies, give you one, and keep the other one for you to read."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying frowned slightly.

"Biao'er, we chose you as the prince because we think you are just right. To be an emperor, you don't need to compete with the ministers." Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Zhu Biao seriously, "You don't need to compete with the fourth brother either!"

Is it because the fourth brother is too outstanding and puts too much pressure on Biao'er?

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head, "Father, I understand. I will not make the mistake of being jealous of the ministers' talents, but I will also learn from the good and make myself better and better..."

...

At the end, Zhu Biao bowed solemnly: "Father, in fact, I also have a dream of war in my heart. I hope that if I have the opportunity in the future, you can give me a chance to lead the army and travel across the grasslands of the south and north of the desert..."

He was not jealous of his fourth brother.

He wanted to lead the army once, not to compete with his fourth brother.

Every man has a dream of war in his heart.

He also has one.

He never dared to mention it before.

Because he is the prince.

But this time he was worried about his fourth brother and secretly envied him.

This was the first time he had spoken out his "heretical" ideas to his father and mother.

If he didn't say it this time, he might not have the chance in the future.

He is now the crown prince and has the opportunity to lead the army himself.

But if he inherits the throne.

Even if he wants to, the civil and military officials in the court will not agree.

Even if he leaves Jinling City, there will be a lot of people crying and complaining about the waste of money and manpower.

"Father, I also know a little about military affairs. From now on, I will prepare seriously. If you think I can do it, please give me a chance!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying saw Zhu Biao pleading solemnly.

They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the fourth child is not too outstanding and makes Biao feel pressured, it will be fine.

They can see it.

Biao really wants to be a commander-in-chief.

This child has been the crown prince for these years. He has been conscientious and dared not slack off. He has suffered a lot of grievances, but he never complains to them.

He rarely makes requests for himself.

This is one of the few times he speaks to them.

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitant, wanting to be satisfied but also worried.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Father can agree to your request, but Father must think you are qualified."

He gave Ma Xiuying a comforting look while speaking.

At that time, he would equip Biaoer with the most luxurious military commanders.

Xu Da, Tang He, Lan Yu, Fu Youde...

All of them will go!

And the bastard Old Four.

All of them will be assigned to Biaoer.

Let Biaoer fight a hearty battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty!

Yes!

Just destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

This battle will push Biaoer's reputation to the highest level.

He will also start preparing from now on.

Food, horses, and weapons should all be stored.

In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang thought a lot.

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, and then said happily: "Thank you, Father!"

He got the benefit of Old Four!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, turned around and walked towards the imperial desk, and said at the same time: "You didn't know that Chang Mao returned to Beijing?"

Zhu Biao was stunned.

"He was sent back to Nanjing by Feng Sheng. After returning more than ten days ago, he went directly to Lan Yu. Feng Sheng's compromise and concessions were very large, and my father was moved..."

...

Zhu Biao listened patiently.

Secretly shocked.

It would be fine if he resigned from the Liaodong General, but he was willing to personally promote the shoulder standard in the Liaodong direct line.

...

"Lan Yu sent Chang Mao to your uncle Tang's home in Fengyang at five o'clock the next day. He was worried that the fourth brother would kill Feng Sheng and was afraid of implicating you."

"I guess the fourth brother will take action soon. Tell me what you think about this matter?"

Ma Xiuying sat in the left corner, at the desk in front of the bookshelf, frowning slightly.

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, "Father, I suspect Feng Sheng has plotted against him. Do you have any evidence?"

"Impossible!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, very confident, "We have been dealing with Feng Sheng for decades and know him well. No matter how deeply Feng Sheng was involved in this matter, he cannot leave any evidence."

There are two people in the army who almost never make mistakes.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde.

Feng Sheng is cunning and does things without leaving any handle.

Fu Youde is cautious and never does anything beyond the limit.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Biao raised his head, exposing his expression and eyes to Zhu Yuanzhang's sight, "If there is no evidence, I oppose my fourth brother to execute him without guilt based on suspicion.

"Go on, it's just us and your mother, you can say whatever you want." Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged.

He was not surprised at Biao'er's answer.

But he was not satisfied with this answer.

Zhu Biao took a deep breath and continued, "First of all, executing without guilt is a violation of the rules, and I will never allow it."

"Secondly, Feng Sheng married into the Chang family, whether I am willing to admit it or not, he is the prince of the outside world."

"If I indulge my fourth brother and execute Feng Sheng without guilt, my supporters will be chilled. ”

…

He is the crown prince first.

He shoulders a country.

Then he and the fourth brother are brothers.

Just like when Lü Ben and Lan Yu had troubled the fourth brother before, he could stop them but could not punish them severely.

“In the future, if the fourth brother catches Feng Sheng’s handle, he will do it himself without the fourth brother saying anything, but not this time!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, this was the answer he wanted.

At the same time, this is also the helplessness of being an emperor and an heir.

“What if the fourth brother turns against you?”

Zhu Biao smiled, “Father, if the fourth brother is angry, let him make a fuss. When he calms down, I will patiently explain to him that I want to play the dual roles of the crown prince and the elder brother. He will definitely understand my difficulties.”

Ma Xiuying listened from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

“I, the humble Zhu Silang, want to see you! "

A voice suddenly came from outside the palace.

Ma Xiuying smiled bitterly.

She stood up and walked behind the bookshelf.

This time she would not come out to mediate. If the father and his two sons quarreled, let them quarrel.

This is a chance to get along.

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched, and he looked in the direction of the sound...

A tall and handsome bastard stood outside the palace door.

His bastard son is good in everything.

He has a good appearance.

He is excellent, both civil and military.

But there is only one thing that is not good.

Debt collector!

Listen!

Immortal Zhu Silang!

This thing hasn't even started yet, and the knife has started to "swish".

"Get in! "

The voice came out.

Outside the palace gate, Zhu Di's lips slightly raised, these words have proved that his judgment is correct.

After losing and regaining, the old man's feelings for him are in a very special period.

It's like a child who has been away from home for a long time and suddenly returns home. In the first few days, parents make all kinds of delicious food and like it very much.

But after a long time, they will definitely get tired of each other and dislike each other.

He and the old man are in conflict with each other.

This special feeling can't last too long.

If not now, when?

"I'm a commoner..."

"Zhu Xiucai, you have a reputation now, so don't bother." Zhu Di came to the imperial case and was about to salute when he was stabbed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and held back his laughter.

"A pair of funny father and son!" Behind the bookshelf, Ma Xiuying held a book and shook her head.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di, angrily laughed and scolded: "Can't you be a little more promising? We held such a big triumphal ceremony for you, tell me, what did you do! If you go home later, Miaoyun can run away! "...

He was not happy showing off today.

Every time he wanted the bastard Old Four to show off around him.

This bastard is definitely not around.

It was like this last time he took the exam for the scholar.

It is the same this time!

Zhu Di listened to the old man's complaints patiently.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and stopped, asking unhappily: "We don't need you now, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Di's face straightened, and he clasped his fists and said: "Your son, please kill Feng Sheng!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were not surprised at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said in a deep voice: "Feng Sheng resigned from the Liaodong General, and is willing to use his direct line as a starter to experiment with shoulder badges on a larger scale. What if we give Feng Sheng a chance? "

It would be best if we can convince the fourth brother.

In order to avoid a conflict between the two brothers later.

Zhu Di was slightly stunned. He did not expect that this old fox would be willing to pay such a high price.

Interest exchange is very common in political struggles.

But not everything can be exchanged without bottom line.

At least, it does not work for him.

Then, he raised his head and said with a firm look: "If the emperor does not agree, I will set off today and rush to Liaodong to kill Feng Sheng myself!"

Pah!

"You dare! "Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, stood up angrily, his lips trembling with anger, and stared at Zhu Di.

Damn Fourth Brother!

He really dared to do this.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di, thinking.

He understood.

This is the fourth brother's strategy.

First, he proposed an audacious idea that would make his father angry.

If nothing unexpected happens, the fourth brother will soon come up with another way to kill Feng Sheng.

This method must have some violations, and it is definitely not a real handle on Feng Sheng.

But it must be easier for the father to accept than the first idea.

This is a very clever strategy.

With the first idea as a prelude, the fourth brother proposed a method that is easier for the father to accept, and the father will be relieved.

Most likely to accept it.

This fourth brother has a lot of ghost ideas!

Zhu Biao shook his head and stood up, "Fourth Brother, even if the father agrees, I don't agree. I absolutely don't agree. You kill Feng Sheng without evidence!"

Behind the bookshelf, Ma Xiuying tightened her grip on the book.

Although she wanted the father and son to have a quarrel and get along.

But when it really happened.

She still couldn't help but worry.

"Brother, who said I have no evidence." Zhu Di turned his head with a smile.

Ma Xiuying was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned.

Zhu Di took out a letter from his arms and held it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with both hands, "This is a letter from Li Chenggui's second son, Li Fangguo, to Li Chenggui."

"Li Fangguo mentioned to Li Chenggui in the letter that Feng Sheng hinted at him to leak his son to Nahachu and attack Gaizhou by water..."

After Li Chenggui surrendered.

Some mysteries were finally revealed.

For example, Li Fangguo had looked for Feng Sheng.

And Feng Sheng put the blame on Nahachu and asked Li Fangguo to ask Nahachu for an explanation.

Li Chenggui did not record these inside stories in writing.

It was a message sent back by Li Fangguo's servants.

Through this series of events, it is not difficult to guess the reason for the problem on the waterway.

In this matter, the second and third brothers did make mistakes.

They looked down on the Goryeo Li family and did not take the Goryeo Li family seriously at all. They just seized the ship.

The people sent were also directly seized.

This arrogant mentality is common among the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if the Li family did not want to use this matter to get in touch with Feng Sheng, they would have sent Li Fangguo tentatively.

Even if the second and third brothers were arrogant, nothing would have happened.

It can only be said that too many coincidences came together.

But Feng Sheng, as the general of Liaodong and the immediate superior of his brothers who died in battle, should not sell out his brothers to outsiders!

This behavior is more despicable and shameful than him finding excuses and killing his brothers by military law!

...

Since the whole process is known.

It is not difficult to fabricate a letter.

Feng Sheng can do it perfectly.

He can also fabricate evidence!

Zhu Yuanzhang took the letter, looked at Zhu Di deeply, and checked the contents of the letter.

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Goryeo to get the manuscripts written by Li Fangguo daily. By comparing the handwriting, you can naturally prove whether this letter is true or false."

"The servants who followed Li Fangguo also met Feng Sheng at the time, and they can also testify!"

...

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di.

He was very sure that the letter was fake.

Feng Sheng would never say it so clearly.

He knew Feng Sheng too well.

But he was also very sure that the fourth child did it perfectly, and there was no need to go to Goryeo to verify it.

The handwriting of this letter is mostly Li Chenggui's.

At that time, the Goryeo Lee family will take out some manuscripts written by Li Chenggui daily.

This is the fourth child!

Once he takes action, he must be ruthless!

Lan Yu, Lu Ben, and then Feng Sheng!

Among the children, the fourth child is most like him.

If Biao'er has the character of the fourth child, he can rest assured to hand over the Ming Dynasty to Biao'er.

Being an emperor is not about being a modest gentleman.

It is not about being a saint who is not stained by dust.

Being an emperor is about enforcing the law!

Enforcing the law for the world!

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter and saw Zhu Biao in a daze. He sat down slowly, pondered for a while, and asked: "I will ask your uncle Tang to take this letter to Liaodong and let Feng Sheng commit suicide. Are you satisfied?"

The fourth brother took out such a letter, in fact, he had already considered Biaoer and avoided Biaoer's embarrassment.

This made him very relieved.
