"Then I'll go to Deputy Supervisor Li to see if his so-called star change is God's will or someone's idea!" Zhu Di was indignant.

"Fourth brother, saving people is like fighting fire, I'm afraid it's too late. How could Deputy Supervisor Li easily admit that he was at the mercy of others? By the time you find the evidence, Taishi Li's family will already be on the ground. Zhu Biao said.

"Big brother, I'm going to give it a try, no matter what the result is, I must be worthy of my conscience!"

Zhu Biao saw Zhu Di's eyes shining, and there was nothing in them except firm faith.

Zhu Biao came to the Fengtian Temple again. No matter how much he will be touched, he must once again intercede with his father for Li Shanchang.

His younger brother is still desperate to save Li Shanchang, how can he, the eldest brother, hold his head and shrink his head, and abandon his righteousness?

Zhu Yuanzhang buried his head in the case, and the piles of concertos were like inexhaustible well water.

They are the source of life, and they are also the curse that destroys life.

"Father," Zhu Biao looked at the wrinkles on the face of the elderly father and the stiff back, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Take a break, you've been reviewing for an hour. This is a pastry made by the crown princess, you can try it. Zhu Biao handed over a beautiful food box.

The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly took the food box and carefully took out a few plates of pastries inside.

"Your Majesty, this pastry is really exquisite, red, green, purple, yellow, more vivid than the flowers in the imperial garden!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he was buried in the music, and his mood brightened.

"Well, it's a pity, the crown princess can't be an imperial chef! Hahaha! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of yam purple potato cake and tasted it carefully, and after a piece of it was down, he remembered the prince.

"The prince didn't come here specifically to bring me pastries, did he?"

"Erchen ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao sideways, and already knew what he wanted to say.

"Erchen wants to intercede for Master Li." Zhu Biao's courage pushed him to the tip of the knife.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, he restrained his emotions and did not attack.

He has always paid great attention to his words and deeds in front of Zhu Biao, because Zhu Biao is the future emperor, and he hopes that he will become a good standard.

"This case has been decided, the evidence is conclusive, the prince should spend his mind on other aspects!"

"Erchen feels that the two reasons for convicting Taishi Li are not ironclad evidence." Zhu Biao did not give up, "The testimony made by his house slave is not credible. Why did the slave come to denounce after so many years? Are you being persecuted by gangsters? Father, the son-in-law can find this slave to confront Master Li face to face. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on the piled up pieces that were taller than his eyes.

Decades later, it was Zhu Biao who was sitting here reviewing these movements, not him.

Will he misjudge the people's feelings, wronged the good people, let go of sinners, and mistakenly kill heroes? Will the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty obey him? Will the people of the Ming Dynasty love it?

Zhu Biao didn't know that he had good intentions and was clearing the obstacles for him, but isn't Zhu Biao's spirit of distinguishing between right and wrong, perseverance, and courage also a quality that an emperor should have?

Does he even have to get rid of Zhu Biao's precious trait together?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Zhu Biao and asked calmly, "What about another reason?" ”

"Qin Tianjian's theory of star change is even more difficult to convince the public."

"The Heavenly Dao is the master of the fate of all beings. Talented, rich and poor, life and death, sickness and old age, destined to be born, irreversible. You have followed Taishi Li to study Confucian classics since you were a child, and you don't know your fate, so you can't be a gentleman. Has the prince forgotten? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became sharp again.

"Father, the son does not dare to forget. But Master Li ......"

"Since you haven't forgotten, Master Li knows more about the changes in the main road, and everyone is dying. Lefu's destiny is suspicious! Master Li will accept the mandate of heaven in peace, and there will be no pain. Why are you and others still here fighting for him? ”

"Father, the star change indicates that a minister will be condemned, but this minister may not be Taishi Li."

"Who's that?"

"I don't know. Erchen only knew that the world had not yet been decided that Li Taishi was guilty, so how could the Mandate of Heaven condemn him for no reason? ”

"Of course Taishi Li is guilty, and when Hu Weiyong rebelled, he couldn't get rid of it. But I remembered that he was old and had laid a foundation for me, so that he could not die. Now even his domestic slaves will be charged against him. Don't you say it's destiny to kill him? ”

"Father, when Hu Weiyong rebelled, his sons also talked with Master Li. He did not have anything to do with Hu Weiyong, although Hu Weiyong was picked up by him, but he only took a fancy to Hu Weiyong's ability as an official, and he rarely had any dealings with him. In addition to meeting each other at the court meeting, they will only walk around each other in private, that is, during the New Year and birthday. As for gift-giving, they are only giving small gifts to each other, and there is no suspicion of bribery. ”

"How can you trust him?" Zhu Yuanzhang involuntarily raised his voice.

His restraint is like the lid of a kettle, and when the water boils, it is always easily opened.

He was annoyed that he had taught him over and over again, and Zhu Biao was still so gullible.

"Father, please stop your anger!" Zhu Biao did not flinch, "Erchen will not believe his words, Erchen believes in human nature." Please think about it, if Taishi Li and Hu Weiyong rebel together, what can he get? ”

"At that time, Taishi Li and his father were born and died, conquered the city, and saved his father and emperor in danger many times, and his exploits were comparable to Xiao He in the Han Dynasty. He is a prominent place, a fiefdom, with gold and purple, and can be described as a very popular minister, with a great name. If he rebelled with Hu Weiyong, would he be able to get more than what he has now? ”

"Even if Hu Weiyong's rebellion succeeds, he can only get the honor and status he has now, but what if Hu Weiyong's rebellion fails? The father's name is world-famous, from the establishment of a cloth cloth under the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's literary Tao Wu strategy, genius ability, Li Taishi and the ministers are obvious to all. And Hu Weiyong is just a person who is good at meeting left and right in the officialdom, and he is exquisite, how can he be the same as his father? ”

"How could Taishi Li do such a thing of anti-Qiu and ape taking the moon? What's more, Taishi Li has reached the age of antiquity, settling down to enjoy the joy of family, and the blessing of children and grandchildren is the normal feeling of people, how can he go to the dragon head to saw the horns and take chestnuts from the fire? ”

"If the father is going to kill Taishi Li because of the star change, then the other ministers will be discouraged and everyone will be in danger, and who will do their best for their father and emperor? The people of the world will lose confidence in their father because of this. Those who win the hearts of the people prosper, and those who lose the hearts of the people die. Does my father really want to kill a person who is impossible to rebel and lose the hearts of the world? ”

After saying this, Zhu Biao stood with his eyes down, not daring to make eye contact with Zhu Yuanzhang again.

This is the most reasoned and the most impassioned of him.

All along, in front of his father, and even in front of everyone, he was always gentle, unhurried, and impatient.

This time, he was struggling to defend Taishi Li, and he was also trying not to disappoint his younger brother.

At the same time, he is still fighting for his father's trust in him, his decision-making ability, and his judgment ability.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's tense face gradually softened.

The tension quietly receded, and the memories were like a soft hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's chest.

"Prince, those words you just said reminded me of your mother."

Zhu Biao slowly raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Your queen mother, like you, always thinks about others, even if she is hurt, she doesn't care. Your nature is too gentle, and this is the only thing your father can't worry about you. Your father has always taught you that as an emperor you must be ruthless sometimes, but you still can't learn it after all. Now that my father is still here, I can help you watch these ministers, what if you sit on the throne in the future? The human heart is unpredictable! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with tears, and every time he thought of Queen Ma, his heart became soft.

"Prince, I promise you to spare Li Shanchang again. If he does it again, don't come to intercede. Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the piece on the desk and said no more.

"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Biao's tears were like springs, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

He knew that it would be very difficult for his father to make concessions in this matter, not only because he had always insisted on his own opinions, but also because he was worried about Zhu Biao's future.

As the king of a country, he must abandon many common feelings. If the minister is accommodating everywhere, there will be a second and a third Hu Weiyong in the imperial court.

He knew that his father had killed heroes, but sometimes he had to.

Li Shanchang never dreamed that he would be able to return home.

He no longer had the luxury, and asked a dozen servants in the family to spend five days to rudely repair the old house, and move in on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which can be regarded as a New Year.

The simply renovated house and the hurried New Year did not affect the atmosphere of the Li family, on the contrary, they were more joyful than usual.

Once a person has fallen off a cliff, he doesn't care if the cliff is overgrown with weeds.

Shi really wanted to go back to Li's house to reunite with his parents, but he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave.

The idea of giving up revenge a few days ago is gone, and it only appears when the stone prays to Heaven to exchange it for the difficult situation of his parents.

After calming down, Shi decided to go back to Beiping with King Yan.

Shi knew that this time the Li family could be safe and sound, thanks to the crown prince Zhu Biao.

He is a man who will repay his kindness, and the prince saved the lives of more than 70 members of their family, and he felt that he could not repay his life at all.

But at the same time, another thing began to bother him.

He will follow the same path as Dao Yan in the future, that is, to help King Yan seize the throne.

King Yan wants to seize the throne of the crown prince Zhu Biao. The crown prince Zhu Biao is kind and kind, and he has a life-saving grace for the Li family, he can't bear it, but he doesn't want to give up his revenge plan.

After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a compromise solution. In desperation, the stone had to decide not to think about it for the time being, the future or many changes, and take one step at a time.
