Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Liu Erniang's breath stagnated, and she smiled wryly: "When I begged you to spare my life, Erniang said that you have a life, and Erniang has no other words. Erniang only begs you, if I don't need my time in the future , please protect me and leave me a piece of pure land to live in.”

Zhen Wu nodded, but did not respond. He tapped his fingers on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You go back to Qingyuan first, and do some proper things first. Afterwards, if I have any arrangements, I will send Someone informed you."

Liu Erniang has no objection.

Afterwards, she wrote down all her contact information and address in Qingyuan.

When leaving, Zhen Wuyu said to her earnestly: "Even if your body is covered with filth, it doesn't mean you can't wash off the lead, you can do it yourself."

Liu Erniang solemnly bowed down and knelt down to worship Zhen Wu, and said seriously: "Erniang respectfully obeys the instructions."

After speaking, Erniang Liu got up and left.

Zhen Wu looked at the back of Liu Erniang leaving, thinking while subconsciously tapping his fingers on the table again, is Liu Erniang believable?It still takes time to observe for the time being, if it is really credible and usable, Zhen Wu will give her a world in the future.

……

Time flies, and it is November in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Di continued to patrol the border and waited for the guards, and finally returned to Beiping City again. After arriving at Yanwang Mansion, under the service of Xu Miaoyun, after a simple wash and tidy up, he did not take much rest, so he went to learn about the recent developments in Beiping City.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Zhen Wu.

Before he received the letter from Guan Tong and others, he deliberately did not reply, just wanting to lock Zhen Wu for a longer period of time, to grind Zhen Wu's temper.

From Zhu Di's point of view, Zhen Wu is still too young, his previous journey was smooth, and his temperament is inevitably too self-confident.

Now that he is back, he can just let Zhen Wu go home.

By the way, it can also make Zhen Wu feel grateful to him.

Zhu Di couldn't help being satisfied with his decision, but just when he was about to release Zhen Wu, he heard the news that Zhen Wu had already been released.

Who is so bold? !

Zhu Di was furious immediately, and planned to call Guantong and the others to scold him severely, but before he called, he heard Fan Guanghua say that the senior generals of the guard army had already known about his plan to recruit Zhen Wu as his son-in-law .

Zhu Di was taken aback.

After being speechless for a long time, Zhu Di sighed, as long as he knows it, he should know it, counting the time, it is time to ask the emperor for an order.

But after being disturbed by this incident, Zhu Di didn't have the heart to swear at Zhen Wu since he was released home.

Zhu Di called Ge Yong over, and after some discussion, he wrote a memorial for Zhu Yuying's marriage and sent it to the Chief Secretary, so that it could be sent to Yingtian Mansion together with the Chief Secretary's memorial.

After finishing these tasks, Zhu Di sighed again. He knew that after the emperor's quasi-play came back, his eldest daughter would marry someone else as his wife.

Time flies.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Zhu Di was feeling sad, Zhu Gaosui ran over like a thief, Zhu Di was almost taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't help but said: "My third son, why did you go these days, why is it so dark. "

Zhu Gaosui was grinning and grinning with his big white teeth, but now he couldn't stop laughing.

Zhu Di immediately felt happier, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Gaosui to his side: "Tell me, why are you looking for your father now?"

Zhu Gaosui said in a crisp, childlike voice: "I'm here to sue, the second brother bullied me, and he even threatened me with the whip that beat Xiao Lizi to death."

Zhu Di frowned, but he didn't show it on his face, as if he had no intention of saying: "Did your second brother beat Xiao Lizi to death?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded heavily with a naive look.

At this time, in the post station tens of miles away from Yingtianfu, Zhu Biao coughed twice, looked in the direction of Yingtianfu, and smiled gently.

We set off in August and will return in almost December. After nearly four months of inspections, we worked hard and diligently, and finally got things done properly.

Thinking of these days, Zhu Biao couldn't help feeling a little bit bitter, but fortunately, it was worth the pain. He investigated very meticulously, presumably the emperor would be happy after seeing it.

"Your Highness, go back to the house, it's cold and windy outside." Seeing that Zhu Biao's face was not looking well, the servant beside Zhu Biao stepped forward to persuade him.

Zhu Biao waved his hand and smiled lightly, like a warm spring breeze. Then, he looked around the world again, and said something kindly but with emotion.

"Such a world, how touching, how can you be afraid of the cold and windy weather when you take a look at it?"

He smiled like sunshine.

Chapter 198 - Zhu Yuanzhang Rebukes Zhu Biao

Some people in this world are really like a sun. The light he emits can dispel the darkness in the hearts of people around him, and at the same time bring warmth to some people who have a miserable life experience.

Zhu Biao is such a person, he has a water-like kindness towards everything and everyone.

At this moment, he looked at the world with deep affection, and looked at it very seriously and meticulously. Even if the leaves were rolled down by the wind, he would only look away from the beginning to the end, as if any scene that happened in this world would affect him Said to have a strong interest.

However, the weather is really cold.

The wind rushed into Zhu Biao's neck with the coolness, and Zhu Biao couldn't help coughing a few more times, but even though he coughed and bent slightly, his eyes still never lowered, he didn't even frown, he just looked after himself Looking at the outside world is full of interest.

Seeing this, the servant at the side couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He looked at Zhu Biao in the cool wind, his frail body swayed slightly, and the circles of his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

When he left Beijing, the high-spirited prince, the crown prince of a country, why did he end up like this because of an errand? He remembered that these days, Zhu Biao always did it himself. In order to understand the situation in Shaanxi, he worked hard and often stayed up late at night. , so much thinner now, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his master.

"Your Highness, let's go back to the house. Your Highness is so tired these days, and you need to pay attention to rest." The servant stepped forward and persuaded again.

Zhu Biao shook his head warmly, but the next moment he saw the worried look on his servant's face, he couldn't bear to embarrass his servant, and sighed: "Forget it, I'll leave it to you, this country can't escape, another day Look again."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house under the waiter with a happy face.

Gradually, the sun sets.

Then, there was nothing to say all night.

The next day, Zhu Biao and his group got up early and had dinner. After packing up, they headed towards Yingtian Mansion. This place is only a few tens of miles away from the capital, but the group was in a carriage and a guard of honor, so they didn't go fast. But Zhu Biao thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was eager to return home, and he didn't want to delay outside, so even at noon, he just ate in a hurry and hurried on his way again.

Finally, at the time of falling in the afternoon, I rushed back.

Zhu Biao and others entered the palace from Bei'an Gate, and he disbanded the guard of honor and ordered someone to deal with it, while he took a few personal attendants through Xuanwu Gate and went straight to Fengtian Hall.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must still be working in Fengtian Temple at this time.

This is indeed the case. Since Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang has been like a workaholic, and has a heinous desire to control. Especially after the power of prime minister was abolished, he has to personally handle everything.

There are even rumors that Zhu Yuanzhang will personally intervene if the farmer loses a cow.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Yuanzhang did not trust the officials in charge.

Standing outside Fengtian Hall, Zhu Biao waited for the notification, feeling a little excited in his heart. These days, he often thought about Zhu Yuanzhang. At this moment, he couldn't help guessing that his father would be happy to see him.

But unexpectedly, after he went in, Zhu Yuanzhang had a sullen face.

He didn't even look at the map of Shaanxi presented by Zhu Biao, but looked at Zhu Biao coldly with his tiger eyes.

Zhu Biao didn't know why, but this scene of goodbye to his father who had been thinking about him for so long made him feel a little sad.

But when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's first words, Zhu Biao couldn't care less about the sadness in his heart, and quickly knelt down.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice could be heard, echoing in Fengtian Hall.

"We later asked you to investigate King Qin's words and deeds in the fief, why didn't we see your report on this matter?"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth were dry.

There is no need to investigate the words and deeds of Qin Wang Zhu Xi, as long as he walks around the city of Xi'an, all kinds of gossip can be heard directly, and Zhu Biao is also sure that as long as he investigates, basically one thing counts as one, and Zhu Xi will never be wronged .

But what can he do.

That's his sibling.

Zhu Biao knelt down and leaned down, with a sincere tone of brotherly affection for Zhu Xi, and said: "The emperor asked my son to investigate, but I dare not not to investigate, but I have something to say, although the second brother is in the fief There have been many illegal things, but the second brother has been smart since he was a child. After he entered the fiefdom, he was left unattended and supervised. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and his gray beard trembled with his anger. He directly picked up a record of Zhu Xi's deeds in the fief, and threw it at Zhu Biao.

The affairs of this world cannot be hidden from him, he has already checked clearly.

"Is this something that can be done with indulgence? You show us carefully, this is something that villains dare to instigate?!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and only glanced, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Every single one of them is the crime of beheading.

Zhu Biao's mind was shaken, and he couldn't help asking: "Father, is it possible to kill the second brother?"

"Why can't he die? Is he the prince?" Zhu Yuanzhang's furious voice followed.

Zhu Biao's heart skipped a beat again. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, only to see Zhu Yuanzhang's face was livid, and he didn't seem to be joking at all. Zhu Biao pleaded without thinking, "Father, you can't do it, the second brother is your biological son." The son, who is also the brother of the minister, if he kills the second brother, how will the people of the world think of us father and son."

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was furious like a lion, actually withdrew the fury on his face when he heard these words, but the anger throbbing in the depths of his eyes was more violent than before.

"What if I have to kill? You cherish your feathers, we are not afraid of the world's mouth." After Zhu Yuanzhang accepted his fury, his voice seemed gloomy, as if full of murderous aura.

Zhu Biao was startled.

He kowtowed directly, each heavier than the next, looking a little sad.

"For the sake of my son and minister, I beg my father to spare my second brother once, so that my son will cherish the feathers, and I don't want people in the world to comment that my son can't tolerate brothers, and I beg my father to show mercy. From then on, my son is willing to swear to my father , I will give more supervision to the second brother, and I will never let the second brother commit another crime, I only hope that our royal blood did not kill."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked coldly at Zhu Biao who kowtowed, and some disappointment was added to the beating anger. This disappointment was like fuel, which made him even more angry.

In fact, although he was angry with Zhu Biao for helping Zhu Xi, he would not be disappointed. What really disappointed him was Zhu Biao's method of interceding.

The prince of a country can only kowtow to plead?

How can you satisfy people when you are always so weak and disorganized? Since you have made up your mind to please, why can't you be tougher?Why can't he show some iron-blooded style!

"Not only do we want to kill King Qin, but we also have to let you supervise and kill King Qin?" Zhu Yuanzhang's faint words floated out again, still stimulating Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see if Zhu Biao could be tough.

Then, no.

Zhu Biao's movements froze, and then he knocked down harder.

After ringing his head three times in a row, Zhu Biao raised his head again, with tears on his face: "I beg my father to make amends, but my son will not be able to take orders. If I really want my son to be like this, my father might as well behead my son first."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and sighed secretly, why didn't he do anything after he found the evidence of Zhu Xi's illegality?I just want to see how Zhu Biao will act, but now it seems that it is expected.

This kind of temper was a bit unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was decisive in killing and attacking, but he was also a little relieved in his heart. It might be a good thing for Zhu Biao to care about his family.

It seems that many things in this world are difficult to have both.

That's it.

If one of his sons was decisive in killing his relatives, it would probably make him even more worried.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with softer eyes, but he still reprimanded: "You are so weak, and you don't know right from wrong. How can you be the king of a country? Go back and think about it."

Zhu Biao was attached to the ground, tears streaming down his face. He had worked hard for several months and thought that he would be able to share his thoughts with Zhu Yuanzhang after returning to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the results of his hard work and was reprimanded instead.

YouQi heard the last sentence that was a bit stern, and his heart was blocked, and his breath went straight to his chest, his eyes went dark, and he passed out directly on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and passed out after a few reprimands. When did he become so delicate and weak, but he still loved Zhu Biao, even if he was dissatisfied, he still hurriedly sent someone to invite the imperial physician to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

Finally, after hearing from the imperial physician that he was just angry, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved and ordered Zhu Biao to be sent back to the East Palace.

He himself was busy again.

……

Chapter 199 - Illness

Zhu Yuanzhang is a very smart person, so smart that no one can be substituted for him, because his start is worse than everyone else, but his achievements are higher than everyone else.

Facing him, no one can find excuses such as poor background.

He is such a smart person, every action of his naturally has a deep meaning, for example, he has never killed the Lord of Heroes indiscriminately, and he has weighed in his heart for a long time who he will not kill.

Generals such as Xu, Li, Mu, and Tang kept his basics in the army very well, and even Prince Zhu Biao's basics, Chang Lan's lineup, did not do anything.

He just did what most founding emperors would do, and also abolished the power of prime minister along the way. From this point of view, his methods are very beautiful.

But this is not without consequences. The most obvious point is that he needs to be kind to the generals in his basic board, especially the middle and high-level generals.

And Yuan Hong is one of them.

Yuan Hong was a hero in the founding of the country, and now he has been appointed as the governor of the left. The eldest son is the commander of the right guard. The eldest daughter and the second daughter married. Not yet available.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him a few days ago, he revealed in his words that he wanted to name a princess as his wife to his second son Yuan Rong. Yuan Hong lay on the rocking chair, thinking carefully which princess it would be.

After all the calculations, Yuan Hong settled on Zhu Yuying, the eldest daughter of King Yan.
