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

silence!

Dead silence again!

Everyone looked at each other, but no one in the huge place spoke. They all looked at the man quietly, with disbelief on their faces.

"What! Say it again?"

After a long silence, someone finally spoke.

The man swallowed hard, looked at the surprised soldiers, and the joy on his face became even stronger. Then, he took a deep breath and said loudly:

"We...won!"

The sound came from afar, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard. Everyone was stunned at first, and after slowly reacting, they couldn't help laughing out loud!

Xu Da and Zhu Di looked at each other and saw the shock hidden in each other's eyes.

Xu Da took a step forward and came to the soldier. He helped him up and asked loudly, "Who did you say is here?"

The man then told Xu Da everything about how he brought Nahachu here. Xu Da was stunned. Everyone thought Xu Da would laugh out loud, but after a long silence, Xu Da covered his face and cried, with tears streaming down between his fingers.

For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone looked at Xu Da quietly.

No one knew how much pressure Xu Da was under these days. Secret reports came from the Nanjing Imperial City one after another, all of which were orders issued by the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, requiring him to capture Lin An and take him back to the Nanjing Imperial City!

Zhu Yuanzhang’s meaning was very clear. He wanted everyone in the world to know the price of betraying the Ming Dynasty!

As Zhu Yuanzhang's old friend for many years, he also saw the hidden meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, which was that Xu Miaojin and Lin An died together, and either Lin An would bear all the responsibility alone, or the entire Xu family would be buried with him!

Yes! Xu Da is currently commanding a large army, fighting on the front lines, but Xu Miaoyun and several of his sons are all in Nanjing City. Even the army's food and fodder are allocated from there!

He has been ignoring it for the past few days, and I'm afraid Old Zhu must be furious.

Now Lin An has proved with practical actions that everything he insisted on was correct. When this moment comes, in addition to being happy, he is more relieved.

He was not wrong about Lin An!

In the silence, Zhu Di slowly walked to Xu Da and patted his shoulder gently!

"Write a war report back to Nanjing and tell those idlers in the imperial court not to jump to conclusions without understanding the full picture!"

Zhu Di's voice was sonorous and powerful!

He had spies in the imperial city. These days, after Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the Jishiditang, some civil officials and censors in the court followed suit and began to submit memorials criticizing Lin An, almost criticizing Lin An for nothing.

Lin An, who had made numerous contributions, was like a sinner of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of those people!

A soldier came out, his face filled with indignation, and bowed heavily, saying, "I'll write it right away!"

……

Nanjing Imperial City

Wu Feng happily took the battle report back and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang joyfully!

He originally thought that the emperor would be very happy after hearing the news, but unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang only glanced at it, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he pulled the corners of his cold mouth and said slowly:

"Bring the Yuan soldiers to support the Ming Dynasty..."

"Hmm! I recognize every word in this battle report, but why do they feel so unfamiliar when put together?"

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's surprised cry, Wu Feng's smile froze instantly, and he said awkwardly, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said with a half-smile, "What's the matter? Commander Wu, you look very happy. It seems that you had intended to let him go before!"

Just one sentence made Wu Feng break out in a cold sweat. He fell to his knees and said with a terrified look on his face, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention! Please understand!"

boom--

His head hit the bluestone slab hard and blood came out instantly, but Wu Feng did not feel any pain because the fear in his heart far outweighed the physical pain!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything. He looked at the content of the battle report again. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Let the Jinyiwei surround the Xu Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

Wu Feng was horrified and his pupils shrank sharply, but he just took a deep breath. He knew very well that Xu Da was now deeply bound to the royal family because of the relationship between Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun. He became a royal relative, held a high position and had great power. He was also the number one military general in the court!

With such a high honor, Xu Da has become the de facto number one person under the royal family!

If the Xu Mansion is surrounded, it will definitely cause a great shock in the court!

Wu Feng knew that when Zhu Yuanzhang called himself "I", he was usually extremely angry, so he could only nod and say "hmm", then said "I obey the order" and prepared to get up and walk out.

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the door: "Slow down!"

Before Wu Feng could react, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been somewhat nonchalant, raise his head from the dragon throne and said with a slightly cold expression, "Prince, do you also want to disobey me?"

Please note that Zhu Yuanzhang said 'also'!

He already knew what Zhu Di had hinted at when he chatted with Lin An.

Da da da--

Zhu Biao walked quickly with a look of determination on his face. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he knelt on the ground with a plop, his back straight, looking like he was going to die for his country.

You know, he was still a little afraid of his father. According to unofficial historical records, Zhu Biao once found Empress Ma and cried bitterly, saying that he did not want to be the crown prince anymore because Zhu Yuanzhang was too harsh on him. He was also forced to jump into the river due to the pressure of supervising the execution of his teacher Song Lian!

In the traditional father-son relationship, the son is more or less in awe of the father!

"Father! You did it wrong!"

"This time, you are really wrong!"

As these words fell, it was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire hall. Even the palace maids and guards beside them had bitter expressions, not to mention Wu Feng who was at the center of the storm.

He could clearly feel the pressure on his head suddenly increase the moment Zhu Biao finished speaking. The emperor's wrath, millions of corpses, and thousands of miles of blood, were not just a simple phrase in ancient books! It could really happen!

bang bang bang-

All the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in horror, with their heads against the bluestone slabs, hoping that the fight between the two ancestors would not lead to disaster for innocent people!

"Oh—then tell me, Prince, what did I do wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Although it looked like a smiling face, the storm brewing in the eyes was frightening, and it was obvious that he was not smiling at all.

Everyone lowered their heads even lower.

Zhu Biao stood straight, like a pine or cypress. He took out a thick memorial from his sleeve, raised it above his head, and said loudly, "I have already investigated Lin An's background. I hope your Majesty will review it!"
