Chapter 272 Feng Sheng Dies! Zhu Yunwen Lives!
The next day.
Morning ends.
On his way back to the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang asked as he walked: "Is Lu Ben back?"
"Yes." Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. His father knew this, and he was not surprised at all.
"When you meet Lu Ben, tell him to be honest and come back as soon as possible, and don't provoke the fourth child..."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately.
In fact, the father was not talking about Lu Ben.
It was a tactful reminder to him not to let everyone in the prince's family provoke the fourth son because the fourth son had received a gold medal and personal soldiers from the royal family.
Zhu Biao responded with a smile: "I know that the fourth child may be in a bad mood these days, and I will remind them."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, sat down, waved his hand, and after dismissing the palace maids and eunuchs, he thought for a while, "We have thought a lot in the past two days. The fourth child said that you cherish feathers too much. This is true. We have said it before. The emperor is not meant to be a humble gentleman, nor is he meant to be a saint who is not stained by dust..."
"Now we can't tell whether it is you who is right to protect the image of the prince, or whether it is Lao Si who punishes Feng Sheng as a warning to others."
…
Zhu Biao listened patiently.
He knew very well that after thinking about it, his father was probably leaning towards the fourth child's proposal.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to suddenly revive the matter.
To put it mildly, I didn’t want to put too much pressure on him.
His father taught him otherwise.
When she got angry and didn't agree with his actions, she didn't give him any face.
In the past year, even though his father taught him, he was no longer as domineering as before, which put a lot of pressure on him.
As for the reason.
He can also guess some.
What happened to the fourth child made my father change a lot.
In fact, many people are changing.
Hu Weiyong became more cautious and conscientious. In the past, when he was right minister, the ostentatious things like inviting friends and inviting guests, and banquets for guests, almost disappeared.
Lan Yu is reckless and impulsive, and likes to do things with a loud voice and fists. Now she is also good at thinking...
Over the past year or so, a lot has happened. Some people have been transformed by the teachings of the fourth child, while others have felt pressure to change...
It's just that some people change a lot.
Some people change little...
'And me? ’
Zhu Biao was suddenly stunned...
Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it and stopped, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhu Biao came back to his senses and bowed hurriedly: "My father's words just now reminded me of the changes in the past year..."
"Father has changed a lot..."
"Lanyu has changed...Hu Weiyong has also changed..."
…
"I suddenly realized that my son seemed to be stuck in his old ways and had not changed much. During the Jinling auction tax package trial last year, my fourth brother sent a message to my son through Mao Xiang, saying that we should not be afraid of bloodshed when doing things, and we should not be afraid of losing our reputation when doing things. Well, it’s impossible to satisfy everyone if you do anything…”
Now that I think about it carefully, Lao Si tried to influence him many times through various euphemisms. ơɱ
But, he didn't listen.
…
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.
I didn’t expect that the bastard Fourth had done so much with good intentions in private.
What Biaoer relayed was very much to his liking.
…
After Zhu Biao finished speaking.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "This year's bidding tax package will be extended to the whole world. You can do it freely and don't worry about the reaction of the gentry. This is a small profit. It hurts when it is cut from them, but as long as it is cut off, Now, they don’t care anymore..."
It's like cutting a wound with a knife.
It hurts when going under the knife.
But when the blood came out, it didn't hurt much.
On this tricky issue, the fourth bastard saw it very clearly.
"My son, I obey."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and changed the subject, "Do you know that we will set up a personal army for the fourth son and give him a gold medal?"
Zhu Biao nodded.
"Do you have any idea?"
Zhu Biao pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Father, I support my son, and I also understand my father's expectations for the fourth child..."
Last night, some of his men heard the news.
Just find him.
He made an excited speech, saying that the fourth child was a replica of Taizong Li Shimin.
More than 500 elite soldiers are the 800 soldiers of King Qin who participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident...
…
"Biao'er, my father made this arrangement because he was sure that the fourth child had no ambitions..." Zhu Yuanzhang considered his words carefully.
If he hadn't forced the fourth child.
The fourth goddam should be living a small life in Tuqiao Village with Miaoyun girl.
I won’t take the test of merit.
He wouldn't almost lose his life on the grassland.
"You have to be more tolerant when treating an outstanding younger brother like the fourth child. Remember that father is talking about tolerance, not connivance. Tolerance for the fourth child's ideas that are inconsistent with yours..."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very worried.
If you really want to indulge such an outstanding son, he will farm in the countryside for the rest of his life.
Don't come out to share his worries and contribute to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.
He would never agree.
But how to arrange the fourth child was a headache for him.
It's okay for him to be the emperor.
No matter how outstanding the fourth child is, he is still his son, and he will only have a bright face.
I won’t be suspicious of the fourth child because of his outstanding performance.
But what happens after him?
Can Biao'er's brotherhood be maintained forever?
Therefore, while teaching the fourth child how to be a courtier, one must also teach Biao'er how to tolerate the fourth child.
…
Long after Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his gaze and murmured: "It's time for Xiongying to study with Lao Si. It's time to put it on the agenda."
Originally, I wanted to wait another year or two.
Now, he felt it was necessary to let Xiongying go early.
In the future, he and Xiuying will not be around.
Even if Biaoer and Lao Si have some conflicts and contradictions, Xiongying can become a bond to ease the tension between the two sides.
…
No one knows Zhu Yuanzhang's worries.
Five hundred elite soldiers belong to Zhu Di and become Zhu Di's personal soldiers.
At the same time, the matter of the imperial gold medal.
As Xu Da judged, it caused many people to be jealous and discuss privately.
But Zhu Yuanzhang decided that Zhu Biao agreed to it.
Some people were dissatisfied, but they only dared to complain privately.
A few days later.
Fengyang.
Tang Mansion.
Reception room.
Clang!
The chair fell to the ground, and Chang Mao stood up suddenly, "My brother-in-law, the prince agreed?! I am the Duke of Taishan, and he, Zhu Silang, can kill me if he wants! The whole court agreed!?"
Tang He frowned slightly.
Li Wenzhong glanced at Chang Mao, 'If you were in Jinling, you might be implicated. ’
He cursed secretly, and then said: "The King of Yan has evidence, there are letters written by Li Fangguo to Li Chenggui, which show that Feng Sheng asked Li Fangguo to inform Nahachu!"
"When the King of Yan conquered Liaodong, he also found many letters written by Feng Sheng to Nahachu."
Li Wenzhong said, took out a stack of letters and handed them to Tang He.
Tang He took it and glanced at it casually.
I am sure that these letters are all fake.
They have been brothers for decades. How could he not know Feng Sheng's impeccable character?
How could he leave a handle like a letter.
Even if Feng Sheng was in contact with Nahachu, he would not write a letter.
He must have sent someone to pass the message every time, and he also killed people to silence them!
This is Feng Sheng's style of doing things.
Of course, these letters are also "real".
Otherwise, they would never be handed over to him openly. At least these letters were also made flawless by Silang!
Feng Sheng fell.
It can only be said that Feng Sheng despised Silang.
He glanced at Chang Mao.
Chang Mao's face turned pale and he trembled all over.
It's better to be afraid, it's better to be terrified!
This way, he won't be ignorant of the world and provoke Si Lang.
Tang He collected his thoughts and asked, "Wen Zhong, what does your majesty want me to do?"
Li Wen Zhong took out a delicate little bottle and put it next to Tang He, "Your majesty, give Feng Sheng a decent look and allow him to commit suicide. He announced to the outside world that he had no face to face your majesty. This result was caused by the quarrel between the prince and Si Lang, and he even said harsh words to Lao Si..."
The prince was confused!
Tang He shook his head.
Although Li Wen Zhong was evasive.
But he guessed that Si Lang wanted to make the canon punishment clear and why the prince opposed it.
This kind of thing should be punished by canon punishment to serve as a warning to others!
Li Wenzhong didn't know what Tang He was thinking, so he continued, "The next day, His Majesty organized these elite soldiers into Silang's personal soldiers, and gave Silang the gold medal. His Majesty said that only when Silang was gone, the future emperor would be qualified to take it back."
Plop!
Chang Mao suddenly fell to the ground, his face became paler, and the corners of his lips trembled slightly.
Tang He glanced at him, but didn't feel anything.
Let alone Chang Mao.
His heart was in turmoil.
Except for the prince.
Among all the princes, Silang was like a scorpion shitting, the only one!
After calming down his inner waves for a while, Tang He nodded, "I know what to do, I will set off today."
...
Ten days later.
There were only three days left before the autumn imperial examination.
Liaodong.
Jinzhou General's Mansion.
With the arrival of Shandong's anti-Japanese troops, the situation in Liaodong gradually stabilized.
After Feng Sheng returned to Jinzhou.
He locked himself in the study.
The windows and doors were all closed. Even in the daytime, the study was a little dark and gloomy.
Feng Sheng curled up in a chair. The light was dim and his expression could not be seen clearly. His bright eyes were particularly sharp...
"Zhu Silang, I lost this time. Let's meet in the court..."
Bang bang bang...
The gloomy muttering was interrupted by the rapid knock on the door, "Master, the Marquis of Zhongshan is visiting."
Tang Er?
Feng Sheng's eyes widened instantly, 'Why is Tang Er here? Emperor Zhu sent him to replace me? Yes, yes, it must be like this...'
While thinking, Feng Sheng hurriedly got up.
Although Tang He is a marquis, he is a duke.
But his status and Tang He's status cannot be measured by titles.
Feng Sheng opened the door and saw Tang He standing outside the door, exhausted. Then he laughed heartily: "Second brother, what wind brings you here, come in, come in..."
As he spoke, he pulled Tang He in.
The maid served tea and left.
The two exchanged greetings for a while.
Feng Sheng smiled bitterly, "This time Si Lang hid it from me, and it hurt me so much, second brother, Liaodong will be handed over to you in the future..."
Tang He listened with a smile and shook his head secretly, "Guo Sheng, you have gone too far this time."
Hmph!
Feng Sheng hummed in his heart, he just failed!
If he succeeds.
He will be the hero who avenges Zhu Si Lang! The hero who restores the dignity of the Ming Dynasty!
Suppressing his unwillingness and anger, Feng Sheng smiled and said, "Second brother, tomorrow I will summon the generals of the garrisons in various places, and after the handover, I will set off to return to Beijing..."
'I can't go back...
Tang He silently took out a small bottle from his sleeve and handed it over.
Feng Sheng's voice stopped abruptly.
The smile on his face froze and gradually disappeared, his face turned slightly pale, and the corners of his lips trembled, "Second... Second brother... This is..."
"Your Majesty gave it to you. This is the evidence that Si Lang brought out. Among them is your handwritten letter to Nahachu, which they searched out when they broke through Liaoyang..."
Tang He took out a stack of letters, pressed against the table, and pushed it in front of Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng's lips twitched as he unfolded the letter. After just one glance, fear and anger appeared in his eyes...
Pah!
At some point, he suddenly slammed the letter on the table and stood up: "Slander! Zhu Silang framed me! Second brother! This is Zhu Silang's frame-up! You know me..."
Tang He looked at the hand that was pulling his sleeve, and his eyes shifted to Feng Sheng's extremely panicked face.
So he was so afraid of death?
If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place.
Pah!
Tang He slammed the table fiercely, "Do you want to make everyone in the world know about it?"
After stopping Feng Sheng, who was crazy because of fear, Tang He said in a gentle tone: "You know what you did, you just underestimated Silang, you never thought he could be so cruel."
"Don't struggle in vain, Zhu Silang wants to punish you, and it was the prince who forced to cover up for you and get this result for you."
"You will leave with a more decent reputation. Although your eldest son has no real power, he can still inherit your title..."
...
Pah!
Feng Sheng fell into a chair.
Turning his head, he asked in a daze: "Did the prince and Zhu Silang have a dispute?"
Tang He frowned, not knowing what Feng Sheng meant, and nodded.
Hey...hehe...hahaha...
Feng Sheng laughed strangely, then raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, he said coldly: "I'll go first. This pair of brothers can't pee in the same chamber pot. They are two different kinds of people. I'll watch from below, haha..."
"I'll watch from below!"
Tang He's face turned black.
When he heard that the prince opposed the official punishment, he felt that the prince was confused.
At this moment, Feng Sheng's reaction undoubtedly proved that the prince was wrong!
For people like Feng Sheng, the official punishment is light!
What's more terrible is that there may be many 'Feng Shengs' in the court, just hoping that Silang and the prince can't pee in the same chamber pot.
Will add fuel to the fire between brothers!
Tang He got up, walked out of the study, and closed the door.
Feng Sheng made all the remaining comradeship he had for many years disappear.
It is true that when a person is about to die, his true face will be completely exposed.
The study fell into silence again.
Feng Sheng's hands trembled as he poured the poison from the delicate bottle into the wine glass. With a face full of fear of death and a hateful smile, he raised his glass and said to himself coldly: "Zhu Silang, I'll wait for you downstairs!"
After that, he raised his head and drank it all.
...
At the same time.
The Prince's Mansion.
The Lu family's palace was busy, with palace maids and midwives coming in and out.
Zhu Biao rarely put down everything at hand and stood anxiously at the door of the bedroom waiting.
"We must give birth to a boy, we must give birth to a boy. The future and destiny of our Lu family all depend on this child..."
Lu Ben stood in the corner of the palace, muttering in a voice that only he could hear...
Asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
