Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Zhu Biao smiled helplessly, "Father, I have confirmed with the messenger again and again that it was indeed written by General Xu Da himself. I think the possibility should be very high!"

After all, Xu Da is a veteran general who has fought countless tough battles. Naturally, he would not joke about the battle report at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as happy as he had expected, but his expression changed subtly. He sighed softly, then read the battle report carefully again. After making sure that no word was missed, he looked up at Zhu Biao.

"Biao'er, Marquis Taiping is so outstanding, do you feel any pressure?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question left Zhu Biao a little confused. Hadn't they been discussing Lin An's problem before? Why was he suddenly asking him what he thought?

He was naturally very happy to have such an extremely brave minister who could be called a god-like general. As long as he could use his power, it would not be a problem to completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty and bring eternal peace to the Ming Dynasty!

Can……

Zhu Biao realized that the answer Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know was not so simple.

He thought carefully, and then said softly: "Father, I believe that with the Marquis of Taiping here, we can ensure peace in the Ming Dynasty and a stable regime!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the battle report and shook his head, saying, "Biao'er, let's stop exchanging polite words. Tell me what you think instead of using such high-sounding words to evade me!"

Zhu Biao was startled, then he quickly said, "Father, you want to say..."

His eyes widened little by little, and although there was a look of shock on his face, his eyes were calm.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhu Biao's expression, he softened his heart. He waved his hand and said:

"Nothing, I just suddenly didn't know what to say! All right! You can go down! There are still more than a dozen memorials waiting to be reviewed today, you go and get busy!"

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly walked out!

He did not go to the imperial study, but turned around and went to the imperial prison. There were Jinyiwei guarding the door of the prison. When the fierce Jinyiwei saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they immediately became obedient like little lambs. However, when the Crown Prince was about to go in, they still stood up with their heads held high!

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that no one can enter without his order!"

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "A few officials from my Ministry of Justice haven't shown up for a long time. I heard they were here, so I came to look for them. Is there any secret here?"

One of the Jinyiwei took a deep breath, secretly thinking that the pressure from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so strong, and quickly bowed his head and said:

"Your Highness, I know nothing. I am only guarding this place under the king's orders. If Your Highness wishes to enter, please allow me to report to His Majesty and then make a decision!"

It has to be said that to be able to serve in the Jinyiwei, one must not only have extremely high martial arts skills, but also have high emotional intelligence.

Obviously, this is a dilemma!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status in the Ming Dynasty is unquestionable. When the Emperor is away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exercises the Emperor's power. Even when the Emperor is in power, the Crown Prince will take charge of state affairs and share the Emperor's worries!

If he resisted at this moment, although he would have defended the emperor's authority, he would have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who would be the future emperor. But if he let the Crown Prince in, he would be disobeying the emperor's orders and would still be punished!

So he diverted the conflict very cleverly!

At least, he was safe. He said he was going to report to the emperor. If the prince broke in during this period, it would have nothing to do with him.

Zhu Biao glanced at the man indifferently, then nodded and said, "Okay! Then go quickly!"

It was impossible for him to really disobey his father's will. He couldn't say something like: Are you sure you want to use the emperor to pressure me? That would be a heinous act.

It is not only a minister's resistance to the emperor, but also a son's unfilial behavior towards his father.

The Jinyiwei felt relieved immediately, and left at the drop of a hat. The other Jinyiwei watched him leave with envy in their eyes, and then they had to send another Jinyiwei to fill the previous vacancy!

Even if the prince were to force his way in now, they would not stop him, but they would at least keep up the appearance!

Time seemed unbearable, as if each day stretched into a year. I didn't know how much time had passed when I finally saw a figure running towards me from a distance. It was the Jinyiwei from before.

The Jinyiwei bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness is sorry. The Emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to enter!"

Zhu Biao was not at all surprised by this answer. He also had his own spies and secret agents in the palace. After all, he was the crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He always had some power of his own!

Just yesterday, he learned that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had been coming to this prison frequently in recent days, and all the prisoners inside had been cleared out and transferred to another prison. Since then, this place has been guarded by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Also disappearing were several officials from the Ministry of Justice!

Since we are not allowed to look, there may really be a secret here. Zhu Biao glanced at the closed door and then turned and left.

Seeing Zhu Biao's figure slowly disappear at the end of their sight, all the Jinyiwei breathed a sigh of relief. Needless to say, the prince doted on them. If the prince forced his way in and they had a conflict with the prince, they would probably be the ones to be punished in the end!

……

"Brother, did you go to the Imperial Prison just now?"

Not long after Zhu Biao came out, Zhu Chong came towards him. He looked a little haggard and seemed like he had not rested for several days.

In fact, this is true. After hearing the news of Princess Qimugege's death, Wang Yuemin has been crying, as if her own mother had died. After all, Wang Yuemin was raised by Qimugege since she was a child, and they have a very deep relationship.

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Chong and asked, "Shouldn't you be in your mother's palace? Why are you here?"

Zhu Chong said, "I told my mother about Qimuge's situation, and she asked me to go back and accompany Yue Min. Now that she is in much better condition, I will continue to accompany her in the palace!"

Zhu Biao hummed, obviously unwilling to say anything, not very interested in chatting, and seemed to be worried about something!

Zhu Chong said again: "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "I did go, what's wrong?"

"Going in?"

"What went in?" Zhu Biao's tone gradually became impatient!

Zhu Chong said, "I mean, has he been imprisoned?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't keep me in suspense. Just say what you want to say!"

Looking at Zhu Biao's expression, Zhu Chong realized that Zhu Biao was on the verge of anger, so he quickly said, "I want to ask, big brother, do you want to go in?"

Zhu Biao originally said he didn't want to, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "I want to go in and see what's inside. What do you think? Do you have a way?"

Zhu Chong hummed, "Follow me!"
