After Lan Yu left, Zhu Biao thought about it again and again, and decided to enter the palace to tell his father Zhu Yuanzhang the truth and see how he would deal with it. He came out of the Chunhe Palace, came to the Qianqing Palace of the Later Dynasty, and met his father Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was reading a book, and when he saw him come in, the gift had been completed, and he ordered someone to give him a seat, and after Zhu Biao sat down, he owed a debt and said: "Father, this time Lan Yu led the army deep into the grassland for thousands of miles, and wiped out the remnants of 100,000 horses in one fell swoop, which can ensure the safety of Beijing for decades, and the great contribution is really gratifying." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the book, his hair was white, his eyes were still as sharp as before, and he nodded and admitted: "This kid Lan Yu did a good job this time, but you have to beat him, you can't let him be proud." ”

Zhu Biao said: "The sons obey orders. There is also a matter for the minister to tell his father, whether it is appropriate, and ask his father to show it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's the matter, could it be the capture of the remnant yuan?" ”

Zhu Biao said: "Exactly. The most noble of the captives were the two of them, such as the chieftain's daughter Di Bao Nu and Tana, the land Bao Nu was quite peaceful, and the son of the minister meant to be a marquis as usual, but that Tana was wild and untamed, and complained, and the son thought that she was sent to the sect as a slave as a punishment. After speaking, he secretly raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at Zhu Biao, and when he understood in his heart, he said lazily: "Some small things, you have handled them yourself, and you still came to ask me if it is appropriate, if there is another hidden secret, you should tell the truth." ”

Zhu Biao was shocked and said, "Father is wise, and everything can't be hidden from your eyes." After the blue jade pacified the remnant yuan, he saw that the concubine of the captive chief was beautiful, and he was confused for a while and ordered him to sleep, but his daughter Tana bumped into him, and he killed himself in shame. Therefore Nathana had a grudge in her heart, and spoke evil words and insulted her sons. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shot the case and said angrily: "How dare the kid! Come. ”

A little eunuch hurried into the temple and knelt down to ask for a decree.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Hurry up and pass the decree, and order the Jinyi guard to take the blue jade into Zhao Prison and carefully inquire about the rape of the concubine." ”

The little eunuch answered, got up and ran out of the hall.

Zhu Biao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Wait." Father, Lan Yuping destroyed the remnants of the Yuan, and made great contributions to the country, but because of a captive chieftain woman, he was questioned, and he was afraid that he would hurt the heart of the hero. This is one of them. The two kings of Kaiping and Zhongshan have passed away, and the Hu case has been implicated, and the generals who can fight in the DPRK and China have withered away, only Lanyu and other two or three people, in case the country has something, who should be relied on, and the second is also. Lan Yu is the uncle of the son, and he hopes to assist him in the future, if the arm of the son is broken today, how will the son govern the country in the future? I hope that my father will see clearly. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "These words were all taught to you by Lan Yu, right?" ”

Zhu Biao slammed his head on the ground and said, "These are all the words of the minister's heart." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao's forehead was red, and he was a little distressed, so he helped him up, waved his hand, ordered the eunuch to retreat, and said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, think about it carefully, when Lan Yu forced the concubine to rape the concubine, did he have a fear of me and you in his heart, if so, he would not do this pig and dog thing, maybe he is also testing your and my bottom line, see what we can do to him?" This is clearly a move to blackmail the master, and there is no king's move. If you don't get rid of it now, you will be in trouble later. It seems that you have not yet grasped the meaning of the thorn of the thorn rod. ”

Zhu Biao said with tears in his eyes: "Erchen knows, but he really can't bear it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly: "You are kind-hearted and a good person, but you are not a good emperor." For the way of the king, one must be convincing, and the other must be terrifying. You are long in the hands of the women of the deep palace, and you have no size in the country, how can these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals obey you? If you enforce the law again and people are not afraid of you, the country will be in danger. The loss of the Yuan Dynasty lies in the loss of leniency. A lesson from the past must be observed. ”

Zhu Biao nodded again and again: "Father's lesson is yes." However, after all, Lan Yu has worked hard and made great achievements, so he was convicted, and he was afraid that the ministers would not accept it. It's better to teach him a lesson first, so as to see the results. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "You have some truth in that. How are you going to teach him a lesson? ”

Zhu Biao said: "Change his Liang Guogong to Liangguo Gong, and note on the gold page of the canonization that because of his great fault, he changed this seal, and his descendants are deeply vigilant." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Biao'er, you have read too many books, and it is really the work of a sour literati, how can you change a word and hope that it will be changed?" ”

Zhu Biao's face turned red and said: "After all, they belong to close relatives, and the sons don't want to do too much, just punish them with a small punishment." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I hope Lan Yu can understand your hard work." This is the end of the matter. However, I don't think it's appropriate to deal with the children of the remnants. ”

Zhu Biao was unconvinced and said: "In the third year of Hongwu, Yingchang was victorious, and the king of Zhongshan captured the Li Ba Ra bought by the grandson of Yuan, and his father named him the Marquis of Chongli, and the courtesy was added. I am following the old practice and wanting to be a fief and a slave, what's wrong with it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said step by step: "This time, that time." At that time, the remnants of the Yuan were still there, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and I had to treat the captives preferentially in order to cherish the distant people. Now that the remnants of the Yuan are gone, their people are useless, they should be killed, and then it is ominous to kill them, it is better to exile them to a foreign country, so that they will not cause trouble. ”

Zhu Biao suddenly realized: "Erchen understands." Then he exiled the princes of the Ryukyu Islands such as the land protection slave and the Ryukyu king, and ordered the Ryukyu king to strictly guard them, and they were not allowed to set foot in Middle-earth until they died. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's very good." As for the Mongolian woman Tana, she is a good chess player, so she should take advantage of it. ”

Zhu Biao said respectfully: "I wish to listen to my father's teachings." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You will include her in the house, if you give birth to Lin'er, when she grows up, she will be sent back to the grassland, and she will be the main one, and Mongolia will always be my Ming domain." ”

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed: "That Tana is unusual, and this matter may be a little difficult to handle." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded: "Is it more difficult than me going into battle to kill the enemy?" You will be the king of a country in the future, and you should not act according to your personal likes and dislikes, but you should put the affairs of the state first, and so it is decided. ”

Zhu Biao had no choice but to arch his hand and say: "Obey the holy order." ”

The oblique moon is in the sky, the osmanthus is fragrant, above the lobby, the red candles are shining, and there are three big men pushing the cup and changing the lamp and drinking happily, these three people are the Liangguo Gong Lanyu, the Ying Guo Gong Fu Youde, and the Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi.

Wang Bi raised his glass to congratulate Lan Yu and said: "This time, Brother Yu was awarded the title of Duke of Liangguo, and he was hereditarily replaced, which is gratifying." ”

Lan Yu patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is also thanks to you, the king of the double swords, we have not seen the enemy in the fishing sea, I am hesitating to withdraw the army, you strongly persuade me: 'We lead hundreds of thousands of people deep into Mobei, if we return empty-handed, what face will we have to return to the dynasty?'" 'Only then can we finally find the remnant Yuan royal court and annihilate it in one fell swoop, if you want me to say, in terms of meritorious deeds, you deserve this Laoshizi Liangguo Gong. ”

Wang Bi said modestly: "Brother Yu has a good reputation, you are the boss, and you deserve it." ”

Fu Youde was hit by an arrow in the cheek, and his speech was a little leaky, and he quipped: "Lan Lao Er (Lan Yu's nickname, the second in the family), how can you be named a national prince, are you still too young?" ”

Lan Yu said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not too small, your second Fu (Fu Youde is the second in the family, the eldest brother Fu Youren) even His Majesty said that he would be the first, and you Fu Youde was the first." You are more than enough to level Bashu in the west, conquer the desert in the north, set Yungui in the south, and seal a prince. Aren't I satisfied with my little credit? ”

Fu Youde smiled and waved his hand: "Don't think about it in this life, it's almost the same as dead." ”

The three of them laughed when they heard this, because Chang Yuchun and Xu Da were posthumously crowned kings after their deaths.

Lan Yu continued: "What I am most dissatisfied with is that I will seal the prince of the country, and I also changed the word Liang to the word Liang. He wrote these two words crookedly as he spoke.

Fu Youde deliberately asked: "Second Lan, why is this, the imperial court changed you, a pillar of talent, to a cold person?" ”

Lan Yu said embarrassedly: "I said that I had a big mistake, so I changed the Duke of Liang Guo to the Duke of Liang Guo, and wrote it into the golden book, so that my children and grandchildren could not raise their heads." ”

Fu Youde quipped: "Second Lan, what's wrong with you, can't you control what you say?" ”

Lan Yu was a little embarrassed and said: "I just saw that the Mongolian queen had some appearance, and for a while, I wanted to give us the Han people a long and majestic style, and I made her a shame for hundreds of years since the Song and Yuan dynasties, so I got her, who knew that the girls were strong, and under shame, they committed suicide and died, and they were big things, who knew that Your Majesty was so serious, and I sold my life for him in vain." ”

Fu Youde gasped and said: "Lan Er, you really dare to do it, your courage is really not small, I have fought for so many years, and I dare not touch any of the good things and beautiful girls, and they are all left to the emperor, this is called forbidden, do you understand, you can still keep the guy who eats, you should feel lucky, and dare to complain about what is not Liangzi." ”

Lan Yu said: "Fu Er, when you say this, I'm really a little afraid." ”

Wang Bi interjected: "I thought that it must be the crown prince who supported Brother Yu in front of the emperor, so he saved the day. ”

Lan Yu nodded and said, "My nephew is a benevolent and righteous king, but I don't know when he will be able to ascend the throne." ”

Fu Youde immediately interrupted him and said, "Silence, Lan Er, you don't want to live anymore, talking nonsense." ”

Lan Yu said disapprenorovingly: "This is my mansion, there are no outsiders, what are you afraid of." ”

Fu Youde said in a low voice: "The emperor's brocade guards are pervasive, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Wang Bi sighed softly and said: "The emperor is now old, and he is strict with killing, and everyone in my generation has withered away. ”

Lan Yu said: "That's nature. ”

Fu Youde raised his glass and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about state affairs, drink and drink." ”
