64. Destiny is hard to disobey

Zhu Biao has been in the literati since he was a child, how has he ever seen this kind of scene of torture and burning meat? The smell of burnt smell is already nauseous.

Zhu Di and others hoped that if this stunning woman was really the sister of Wang Baobao, the king of Henan, then Zhu Hu should be saved.

Wang Baobao is the minister of power in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the most valued figure by Emperor Xuanguang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the most feared opponent of Zhu Yuanzhang.

For this Wang Baobao, the opponent, Zhu Yuanzhang's means are both soft and hard, the hard one is of course to fight, to conquer by force, and the soft one is to win over and surrender.

The results of the surrender are very significant, Wang Baobao's younger brother Timur, whose Han name is Wang Jingang, has just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has treated the senior generals who surrendered to the Northern Yuan Dynasty very well, and now this Wang Jingang is serving in the Ming Dynasty.

Yao Miaoyi said secretly, no wonder the people who bought the Liba Thorn are so concerned about Wang Yinnu's safety, this Wang girl is the county lord, and she is Wang Baobao's own sister-in-law, and the Liba Thorn bought by the prince of the world does not dare to treat it as a mustard and leave her alone.

If he was indifferent to Wang Yinnu's life and death, even if he fled back to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he would lose the support of the powerful minister Wang Baobao and be isolated in the Northern Yuan royal family.

Yao Miaoyi said: "It turns out that Miss Wang is the county lord, but I am rude, and he will come to the door to ask for guilt one day." ”

said so, and the tip of the hairpin in his hand was still against Wang Yinnu's neck.

Zhu Di said: "County Lord, my fifth brother is simple by nature, determined to be a medical master, and will be a medical master who writes books and talks in the future, and knows nothing about politics and power schemes. County Lord, please give him a chance to realize his ideals, he shouldn't just die under the scimitar. I am willing to take the place of my fifth brother as a hostage. ”

The implication is that Wang Yinnu wants to come forward and persuade the people who bought Li Ba and others to let Zhu Hu go.

Zhu Hu resolutely refused to let in, and shouted: "Fourth brother, it was my mistake, and I should bear it alone, I don't want you to carry the black pot for me." If something happens to you, I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life, and life is better than death. ”

At this time, the tongs had already burned red again, Yao Miaoyi raised the tongs with ease, aimed at Wang Yinnu's peerless face, and said with a sarcastic smile: "The eight thorns I bought!" Let Zhu Hu go, otherwise Wang Yinnu will become Wang Yasha. ”

The eight thorns in the house seemed to be a little moved, and the royal father on the side said: "Your Highness, don't believe her nonsense." Miss Wang is the lord of the county, she doesn't dare to do it. ”

Yao Miaoyi pointed at Xu Da and said, "Why don't you dare?" My father is Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, even if he breaks the sky, he also has his father to support me. It's just that if Zhu Hu had an accident in Baihetang today, my father could save my life, but the guys in the store and even the neighbors would be beheaded by Zhu Lian, affecting innocent people. ”

"Since I opened a pharmacy here, Song Xiu'er and their neighbors have taken care of them, I can't bear to see them die innocently, so I can only spare the lives of the county lord to protect their lives."

After that, the tongs in Yao Miaoyi's hand leaned over, although it did not stick to Wang Yinnu's delicate face, but the scorching breath instantly burned her scattered sideburns.

The queen mother immediately knelt down to the eight thorns she bought: "Your Highness, please save the county lord, she is the only sister of the king of Henan, and she can't be burned alive." ”

The eight thorns he bought clenched his fists, then let go, and said to the royal father: "Put down King Zhou and go." ”

The royal father said: "If we release King Zhou, we will have lost all our previous achievements, and Your Highness will also be insulted and placed under house arrest." ”

The eight thorns he bought had a generous face, and said: "Wang Bao retains the talent to restore the country, if he sacrifices his only sister for me, won't it chill the hearts of these loyal ministers?" Whatever it is, it's destiny. ”

The eight thorns that he bought turned around and said, "Let's surrender and let the king of Zhou go." You also let the county lord go, don't embarrass a girl. These Northern Yuan spies, please also spare their lives. ”

The only one present can be the crown prince Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao said: "My father said that as long as the prince is willing to turn back and let the king of Zhou go, the courtesy will remain the same, and he will not treat the son harshly." The emperor is the true son of the dragon, and he will never regret it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is a tolerant person, knowing that the eight thorns he bought are not good, but he is also tolerant and forgiving. Now Emperor Xuanguang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty only has a son who bought Li Ba Thorn, and detaining this son in Jinling will definitely be of great use in the future, and he is reluctant to destroy this excellent hostage.

The eight thorns he bought put down the scimitar and pushed Zhu Hu out, Zhu Di hurriedly pulled his younger brother and ordered Mao Xiang and others to protect him. Zhu Hu glanced at Wang Yinnu in despair, then turned around and left, never looking back.

The eight thorns that I bought said to Yao Miaoyi: "Miss Yao, it's your turn to release people." ”

Yao Miaoyi threw away the tongs and hairpins, and pushed Wang Yinnu away, thinking secretly what is the point of this? This county lord is estimated to be the same as Zhang Shicheng's daughter Yongan County Lord in the future, like a sparrow, imprisoned for life.

The crown prince Zhu Biao really said: "Come here, prepare the carriage and horses for the prince and the county lord, and please enter the palace." ”

Zhu Biao was very happy at this time, today he broke the conspiracy of the eight stabs he bought, saved the fifth brother, and captured Wang Baobao's sister Wang Yinnu like a treasure.

Wang Yinnu's throat was still bleeding, and the burns on his thighs were even more miserable, and he was paralyzed on the ground, and it was difficult to walk. Xu Da said to his daughter: "Feng'er, you have medicine here, bandage the wound of the county lord." “

Xu Da has gone through various political and power schemes, and knows that the boundary between allies and enemies is actually very blurred: Wang Yinnu is an enemy, and now he is a hostage valued by Emperor Hongwu; Before, they tore their faces and met each other in battle, but now that the princes are courteous, Yao Miaoyi can't have too deep a grudge with the county lord.

Do you want me to heal her? Obviously, she almost killed Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, just now! Even Yanwang Zhu Di was almost involved! There are also Xiu'er, Ah Fu, and the neighbors of the second brocade workshop, once Zhu Huzhen is killed, they will undoubtedly be implicated, and they will be beheaded at the worst, and exiled at the lightest, and they will be in pain!

Yao Miaoyi didn't understand Xu Da's foresight, but since Wei Guo had spoken publicly, it was not good to categorically refuse. The medicinal powder for the treatment of scalds is ready-made, Yao Miaoyi poured half a bottle of medicinal powder on the affected area of Wang Yinnu's thigh, and hastily bandaged it, anyway, after entering the palace, some imperial doctors took action to heal the wounds.

The powder was applied to the affected area, and the burning wound had a hint of coolness, not like the pain that had penetrated into the bone marrow just now. Wang Yinnu said in a low voice: "Thank you, Miss Yao, you are a good person. ”

Yao Miaoyi was stunned: Good person? I did that to you just now, I almost killed you, ruined your appearance, and you still say that I am a good person? Isn't it painful?

Wang Yinnu didn't dare to look directly at her, lowered his eyes and said: "Zhu Wulang is a good person, in fact, my nature is not bad, but we have to meet each other, calculate and kill each other, endlessly, why is this?" ”

Yao Miaoyi was stunned, and quickly retorted: "Everyone has their own position, and each is its own master." Also, it was you who calculated Zhu Wulang first, and I had to calculate that you were tortured to extract a confession, otherwise the second brocade workshop would be bleeding today. Don't want me to feel a little guilty about you. ”

"If you succeed today, rob Zhu Wulang, take away the eight thorns you bought, and a group of us will be unlucky, and then you will say lightly, 'I can't help myself', and it will be over with a few tears, which is too hypocritical. Your life is fate, and we deserve to be unlucky? ”

Wang Yinnu was speechless.

The crown prince Zhu Biao entered the palace with the prince and the county lord, and Zhu Hu also followed his brother Zhu Di back to the palace and knelt on the ground to plead guilty. When Emperor Hongwu saw his son's decadent appearance, he thought to himself that his son had escaped death today, and he was not willing to teach a lesson, but he just sighed and said:

"When you encounter a red face and trouble, it is your life, and it is also your calamity, the past is over, don't be tempted by beauty in the future, and be tempted by the pink skeleton. Punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors for three months, can you be convinced? ”

I thought that according to my father's temper, I would at least be beaten and punished and downgraded, but I didn't expect to be let go gently.

Zhu Hu Muran kowtowed and apologized, "Erchen knows that he is wrong." ”

Zhu Di also knelt down and said: "The fifth brother is young and ignorant, and he has his own faults. As the elder brother, Erchen failed to take care of his younger brother and discover the conspiracy of the Northern Yuan spies in time, which was a crime of negligence, and he asked his father to punish him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Wulang is also seventeen years old this year, and he is still 'young and ignorant'? Shiro, you are all princes who are about to leave the palace and build a mansion, and it is the honor and responsibility of every prince to rule the domain and defend the country in the future. Gorou can't always be under your protection, he grows up and has to stand up to the sky like a real man. ”

"The edict that canonized you as a prince states that I want to build a state in ancient times, and divide you into various places as kings. Take control of the army and guard the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Since the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, there have been all kinds of jealousy of the vassal king, and no dynasty has ever dared to establish a state and give the vassal king so much power. But I believe that you brothers can work together to protect the country that I have worked so hard to fight! ”

Especially after hearing that Zhu Di was willing to sacrifice himself to replace his younger brother Zhu Hu as a hostage, Zhu Yuanzhang strengthened his belief in building a state! Brothers are united, and their profits are gold, and of course I trust my sons more than the ministers.

Those ministers who pessimistically predict that after the establishment of the ancient state, the vassal kings will be in chaos in the future, and they will be in their own formations, and the Ming dynasty will fall apart, all of them want to separate the flesh and blood of the heavenly family!

Zhu Yuanzhang stubbornly and simply believes that a radish is a pit, if the border pass of the domain is not guarded by his own sons, then the civil and military generals are here, and someone must be in power in a place! If he did not establish a state, then his sons would be restrained and bullied by the ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that I was born and fought to the death, and I don't share it with my sons, should I give it to the minister? It doesn't make sense! Just like a rural landlord who bought a field, accumulated a family property, and distributed the family property to his sons after his death, and then the sons hired long-term laborers to cultivate the land, and the spring roots and autumn harvest will be long-lasting.

How can there be a reason to distribute the land to the long-term workers, let the sons hold the golden rice bowls, and look at the faces of the long-term workers pitifully?

And those who persuaded me to give up the idea of building a state in Fagu, all dragged down and beheaded!
