Chapter 4: Common People Go to the City, Princes Go to the Countryside

Right Vice Minister Lü Ben's official room.

Lü Ben personally poured tea for the visiting Lan Yu and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you General Lan for supporting me in the court and trampling Yan Wang Zhu Di into the dust in one fell swoop!"

Lan Yu smiled and picked up the cup and drank it all, "We are against the division of vassal kings to control the army!"

The division of vassal kings not only robbed and squeezed the interests of military generals, but more importantly, it threatened the status of the prince!

He is the uncle of the crown princess!

The uncle of the prince!

There was no chance before.

Now Zhu Di jumped out, no matter what Zhu Di's intentions were.

He would seize the rare God-given opportunity and trample Zhu Di into the dust.

Potential threats, one can be solved!

Lü Ben filled Lan Yu's teacup again and said solemnly: "General Lan must not underestimate the enemy. We must continue to step on Zhu Di, who has become a peasant, and not let him have any chance to turn over."

"We must also find a way to get rid of other vassal kings!"

Lan Yu frowned slightly, "Is it necessary? Zhu Di is now a mud-legged man."

"Yes!" Lü Ben pushed the teacup in front of Lan Yu and said very seriously: "We must be on guard. Of course, I will do this.

"General Lan should set his goal on other vassal kings and try to step on them, and never allow them to grow stronger!"

Lan Yu smiled and said confidently: "This is easy to do."

"When the King of Qin and the King of Jin go to their fiefdoms in the future, according to the arrangement of His Majesty, they will follow us generals to fight outside the border."

"It is easy for us to set up obstacles for them in battle."

"After they lose the battle and lose their troops, you can launch an impeachment in the court and step on them! "

Lü Ben put down his teacup, smiled and gave a thumbs up, "So, I have an agreement with General Lan. The general will find a way to deal with the King of Qin and the King of Jin, and I will continue to keep an eye on Zhu Di."

"Keep him firmly in the mud, and he will never threaten the prince!"

"General Lan, remember, this matter must not be known to the prince."

Lan Yu waved his hand and said, "We know."

...

That night.

Yingtian Prefecture.

Jiangning County.

Chunhua Town.

Tuqiao Village.

In a low mud house.

After Mao Xiang put the bedding on the old bed, he bowed to Zhu Di apologetically, "I am sorry, Your Highness. "

Zhu Di was looking at his new residence.

Soon after he left Hongwu Gate, Mao Xiang suddenly came to him.

Then he took him out of the city.

Headed straight to Jiangning.

When they arrived at Tuqiao Village at night, the Jinyiwei who had set out in advance had already arranged this residence for him.

The efficiency and speed were amazing.

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "I am no longer a royal family, Lord Mao, you don't have to call me Your Highness."

Mao Xiang didn't dare to do that, and respectfully handed over a land deed, "This is the house deed and the land deed."

"The prince instructed to buy the best paddy fields for Your Highness."

"Tuqiao Village is the village where refugees were resettled after the founding of our Ming Dynasty."

"The original owner of this house moved to Chunhua Town after making a fortune by selling tofu in recent years. The Jinyiwei bought it at double the price."

"The other party was very happy, and the money and goods were cleared without any trouble. "

Zhu Di did not refuse.

This was the last inheritance given to him by Taizu.

Zhu Di took the house and land deeds and smiled optimistically: "People go to the city, and the princes go to the countryside. This just proves that our Ming Dynasty is thriving."

Mao Xiang squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Zhu Di suddenly felt bored and waved his hand to urge: "It's late, and my place is narrow, so I won't keep Commander Mao. Commander, go back early to report."

"I'll take my leave!" Mao Xiang did not waive the etiquette because Zhu Di was demoted to a commoner. He bowed meticulously before daring to leave.

Who knows when Zhu Di will regain his title?

"By the way, there must be spies from your Jinyiwei in this village. Let them see me and treat me as a commoner. Don't set up obstacles for me to integrate into this village! "Zhu Di shouted at Mao Xiang's back.

After the Jinyiwei withdrew from the fenced courtyard and left cleanly.

Zhu Di looked around the new house.

It was about thirty square meters.

Mud bricks, thatched roof.

There was a table and two benches at the entrance.

There was an earthen stove and a rusty iron pot in the west corner.

In the east corner, there was a bed that creaked when it was shaken.

Fortunately, there were no neighbors around, otherwise they would definitely suspect what he, a grown man, was doing in the middle of the night.

But it's okay.

There is a place to stay.

There are also ten acres of paddy fields.

The capital to make a fortune is all there.

"Starting tomorrow, I will learn to be a farmer." Zhu Di was in a good mood and smiled optimistically.

Hey!

Laughing, Zhu Di suddenly thought of something and sighed suddenly.

Looking around the small house with bare walls again.

"Xu Miaoyun, should be..."

"Won't you marry down?"

[Ding!]
