Pingjiang has become an isolated city, Eastern Wu is in danger, when Zhu Yuanzhang unifies the regime step by step, he will begin to plan for future development. What is it after being crowned king? Naturally, he is the emperor! At this time, the identity of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, is a little embarrassing.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's old boss, it seems that he should be more qualified to sit in that position than Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the process of Zhu Yuanzhang fighting the world, he not only did not contribute, but had to be protected by Zhu Yuanzhang. Such a person is a great treasure, don't say that Zhu Yuanzhang is not convinced, even Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates do not approve of it.

Troublesome things appeared, if Han Lin'er was just an ordinary boss, Zhu Yuanzhang could make him a prince and let him enjoy his old age in peace. However, Han Lin'er is Zhu Yuanzhang's nominal emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang will inevitably be criticized for surpassing him and claiming to be emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, but he still planned to put Han Lin'er under his nose and raise him like a royal title or something. He didn't want to be bound by anyone anymore, but he hadn't reached the point where Chen Youliang was so ruthless that he wanted to put Han Lin'er to death. While sending troops to attack Pingjiang, he also sent the general Liao Yongzhong to Chuyang to meet Han Lin'er.

Liu Ji knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was very disapprove, he had always had no good impression of Han Lin'er, he thought that taking Han Lin'er back to Tianfu was purely full of food and support - nothing to do. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has enough capital to establish himself as the emperor, does he still have to continue to act under the banner of the dragon and phoenix? Since Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to give up the throne, he should make a decision immediately and never suffer in the future!

But this time Liu Ji didn't argue with Zhu Yuanzhang about anything, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was stubborn and couldn't listen to anyone's opinions. He thought about it for a while, and invited Liao Yongzhong to the house for a gathering under the pretext of giving Liao Yongzhong practice.

Liu Ji is a civil official, in fact, he has not had much contact with Wu in the future, and Liao Yongzhong, who was invited by him, was flattered, and the rest of the people also looked at him.

The two naturally had to greet each other when they met.

Liao Yongzhong gave the gift and arched his hand: "Taishi Ling invites him, and it will be an honor for the general." ”

Liu Ji replied with a smile: "The general can come, and the room will shine." Since today is only about friendship, why not get rid of these cumbersome etiquettes, and you and I can just have fun together. ”

The military generals didn't like the civilian's crepe etiquette, and Liao Yongzhong immediately said: "This is very good." ”

Entering the hall, the music of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of young kaki fish poured in and danced. Its song is like an empty mountain and a clear spring, and its shape is like a wind and snow, which is really beautiful.

Liao Yongzhong couldn't help but maliciously speculate that Liu Ji was still keen on this at his age, maybe he would close the door and be a flute every night, so he didn't know if he could eat this old man.

Liu Ji invited him to sit down, and said: "The husband should stand up to the sky like a general to not lose the heroism of a man, Liu Moujing is a general." ”

Liao Yongzhong replied, "Mr. is very knowledgeable, rich in learning, and proficient in astronomy and geography, and the general has long admired him. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, "Haha, drink, drink!"

In the staggered time, Liao Yongzhong was so drunk that he couldn't help but leave the table and get up, holding musical instruments and singing and dancing.

Liu Ji smiled, shook his head lightly, and watched his performance with great interest.

Liao Yongzhong jumped out of sweat, the alcohol gradually subsided, his face turned purple, and he said unnaturally: "Mr. is smiling, and the last general is out of shape." ”

Liu Ji didn't care, "The general is a man of temperament, why bother with common sense, if the general can't enjoy himself, it is Liu's sin." ”

"Have fun, have fun. Thank you for your hospitality. After the polite words, Liao Yongzhong was about to leave, secretly annoyed that he got carried away, and he didn't know if he had done anything ugly.

Liu Ji said to stay, "The general is slow, Liu has something to ask for." ”

I said how kind the old man invited me to drink, and he was waiting here. Liao Yongzhong muttered in his heart, and said politely: "Sir, please advise." ”

"The stakes are very high, and I ask the general to bear more. Liu Ji ordered everyone to stand down and bowed deeply to Liao Yongzhong.

Liao Yongzhong hurriedly helped him up, "Mr. has something to say, why do you bother to make such a big gift?"

Liu Ji stood up and whispered a few words to him.

Liao Yongzhong's face changed suddenly, and he was scared away by the wine, and he shouted again and again: "How can this be done?"

"I know that this is very difficult for the general, but please allow me to finish my sentence. Liu Ji pulled him and didn't let go, and hurriedly said: "The prince is benevolent and righteous, and he has always been loyal to the dragon and phoenix Song Kingdom, but that Han Lin'er is really not a Ming monarch and is not worthy of the prince's follow." If the prince continues to fall in love and does not give up, disaster will not be far away! Now that the prince can establish himself as the emperor, but there is still a Han Lin'er on it, how can he stand on his own feet? Only by asking the general to help the prince get rid of this obstacle can the prince smoothly ascend the throne in the coming day. ”

Liao Yongzhong hesitated and said: "But if the last general goes against the prince's will, he will be angry when he knows it." ”

Liu Ji bowed again and said frankly: "If the prince is angry, the general can tell the prince all about today's events, and Liu is willing to bear it all and will never affect the general!"

Liao Yongzhong looked at him, was silent, thought about it for a long time, nodded, and said seriously: "Mr. Zhongyi, the last general admires." Sir, rest assured, even if the prince blames, the last general will handle this matter well!"

Liu Jisan bowed, "Thank you so much, General." ”

Half a month later, Liao Yongzhong took Han Lin'er back to Yingtianfu, and when he was traveling in Guazhou on the way, he entered the cabin and hacked Han Lin'er and his followers to death, and then scuttled the boat, and then swam back to recover his life, lying that he had encountered wind and waves.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Han Lin'er would die on the way, and he would never believe what Liao Yongzhong said about the reason why the ship sank due to strong winds and waves. He was very angry and rebuked in front of everyone: "How dare you disobey Lone's orders and make your own decisions? Lone asked you to bring people in and did not let you kill them." Lone didn't instruct you, but you let Lone fall into a situation where there are no three hundred taels of silver here. What is the crime of trapping the lord for infidelity?"

Liao Yongzhong saw that he had guessed the truth, and he did not defend himself, knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister is guilty, and the minister is willing to be punished." But now that the prince is full-fledged, how can he be controlled by others anymore?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "If Han Lin'er comes, I can give him a knighthood, why do you have to kill him? At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny to seize the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he was still kind to the little emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the descendants of the Zhou family, so how could he not treat Han Lin'er well? In the past, Zhang Shicheng attacked An Feng and killed Liu Futong without attacking Han Lin'er, but you let Gu bear the infamy of killing the king, which made the people of the world despise! What kind of heart do you have?"

He still hasn't said a word, his country was fought by himself, and he was not snatched from Han Lin'er, so he didn't have any moral burden. Moreover, Han Lin'er's Dragon and Phoenix Song Kingdom has already existed in name only, and there is no threat to him to be called emperor in the future, which is why he figured out that he wanted to bring Han Lin'er to Yingtianfu.
