Seeing the master's decadent look, Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say.

Lu Ning took out a piece of music and said.

"You're just in time, give this piece to your grandfather."

Zhu Xiongying saw that Lu Ning's intention to go had been decided, and it was irretrievable, so he thought to himself, it was better to discuss it with the imperial grandfather, maybe there was a way to keep him.

So he said.

"Master, you wait in the palace first, I'll go now, and I'll definitely give you an explanation."

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly came and asked to see the emperor outside the imperial city, now is not the time of the early dynasty, and if he wants to see the emperor again, he can only wait outside the noon gate.

He suddenly saw an old figure kneeling outside the door on the ground, and when he came to see it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This person is none other than the scholar of the Huagai Palace, the middle of the imperial history, the prince Zanshan, and the sincerity of Liu Bowen.

"Liu Gong, what are you doing here?"

Liu Bowen was already gray-haired at this time, and his movements were a little sick and weak.

"In the eleventh year of Hongwu, when Hu Weiyong was belittled, the old minister got gallstones. I thought I was going to die, but I was saved by His Royal Highness the Protector King, and I have been picking up my life until now, but I am old and sick, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for long, so I am here to bid farewell to Your Majesty."

Zhu Xiongying was a little reluctant and said.

"Gong Liu, don't go, I'm going to ask the imperial grandfather to build you a pension mansion in the capital, so that you can live for a long time."

Who knows, at this time, the eunuch Du Shuntong came to see Liu Bowen with this holy decree.

The holy decree is very simple, which means that Liu Bowen is beaten and allowed to return to his hometown.

As soon as Liu Bowen finished writing, Du Shun took out another letter: "This is a letter written by the emperor himself, please read it on the spot."

Liu Bowen opened the handwritten letter, and there was a title on it: Returning to the Old Qingtian Book!

Zhu Xiongying was very curious and accompanied Liu Bowen to look at it.

The letter begins with a review of Liu Bowen's life's exploits, and then goes on to say the differences between the two people.

Your ideal is to assist an aristocratic emperor like Li Shimin, not a prince of cloth like me, since this is the case, I will meet your requirements, you go back to Qingtian to retire.

Liu Bowen's trembling lips read out the heartless words in Zhu Yuanzhang's letter: "A gentleman breaks off friendship, does not make a bad noise, and a loyal minister goes to the country and does not clean his name."

Then he thanked the emperor in an old voice, and with a cane, he staggered back from the Jinshui Bridge.

The sign that Zhu Xiongying asked to see was immediately uploaded to Zhu Yuanzhang, and after a while, he was taken to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, and suddenly found Zhu Biao kneeling next to him with a ashamed face.

Just listen to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"An adopted son is an adopted son, how can you replace the position of the crown prince? The reason why I supported Lu Ning and attacked those Confucian ministers was to make your throne sit firmly, but you were blinded by lard and hit Zi'an in every possible way, can you not chill the heroes?"

Zhu Biao said with an aggrieved face.

"But now the world only knows him Zhu Tang and a think tank Liu Bowen, who can know who my Zhu Biao is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said.

"So as you wish, I have broken off my friendship with Liu Bowen, and judging by his situation, he has not long passed away. His sons Liu Lian and Liu Jing, since you don't like it, I won't hire them again, without his support, his relatives can't make big waves, let alone support Zi'an, you still go back to the East Palace to be your crown prince."

Zhu Biao asked.

"Isn't my father going back to Fengyang to continue worshipping his ancestors?"

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed his face and said angrily.

"I have doubts about your ability, look at what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates you use, and who are the side concubines around you? It's just a little bit, a green scarf has been wrapped around your head, the Huang family who is entangled with the crown princess, there was a fire in the house yesterday, the rescue was ineffective, and now they have all been burned to death.

Zhu Biao was sweating: "Yes!"

Zhu Biao and the other father and son discussed these

matter, this sent Lu Ning's recital.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and threw the piece on Zhu Biao's face.

"You still said that Zi'an has a rebellious heart, don't you feel ashamed to see it yourself!"

This said that Lu Ning decided to return all his positions, and returned the money he had earned over the years, as well as the money and mansions that had been rewarded by the royal family, to the treasury.

Then he wanted to find the whereabouts of the immortal Zhang Sanfeng for His Majesty, and pray for the royal blessing with him.

The letter also made arrangements for several of his wives: basically all of them were arranged on some desert islands overseas, and he decided never to return to the Central Plains.

Zhu Biao snorted and said.

"Father, he is relying on his past merits to blackmail us, this kind of thinking is really hateful, and his sons are also very hateful!"

"What do you say you should do?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp eyes staring at his face, Zhu Biao turned his face weakly.

"I think Zi'an should be comforted, Erchen found some imperial wine in the royal treasury, gave it to Zi'an personally, and then retained him to serve in the court as the crown prince."

Thinking of the idea that Huo Rong had marked for Zhu, Zhu Xiongying listened to it next to him, and a cold sweat broke out.

But he didn't dare to expose his father, so he secretly planned in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.

"If he is trying to blackmail me, why should I bow down to him? I'm going to make a decree! How easy is it for him to return to the mountains and forests, and he wants to take back his other positions except for protecting the king, and demote him to Funing County to be the magistrate! Arrive on the same day without delay!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Why Funing County?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Isn't there a big wangzhuang there? Oh, he also sold easter eggs there, and since he doesn't want to serve the imperial court, he should go to Dawangzhuang to sell easter eggs."

In the ten-mile long pavilion, Lu Ning, who had arranged the whereabouts of his family, was in the long pavilion with the prince who came to see off the prince to resign.
