In the imperial study, Jiang Zhen walked in and whispered in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear: "Your Majesty, Zhu Gongzi sent someone to me and said that he wanted to see you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said interestingly: "At this time, this kid didn't hide, but came up to see us, isn't he afraid that our emperor will kill him?" ”

"Zhu Gongzi has enabled all the shadows he has laid in the capital, and now I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Qin has been found!" Jiang Zhen replied unexpectedly.

"Oh? Is he also going to participate in the succession? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with danger.

Zhu Yang started to participate when he was just a huiyuan, so wouldn't the ambitious ministers in the court be in contact everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought: It seems that we still killed too little, and the "Hu Weiyong case" originally thought that it would end here, but now I am afraid that it will have to be used again.

Although Jiang Zhen didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, he still opened his mouth to explain for Zhu Yang: "Zhu Gongzi is probably going to help His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, the rumors from the outside world say that Zhu Yang is the illegitimate son of the prince!" ”

"yes, we forgot about it!" Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and ordered, "Find a few clothes and come over, let's go see that kid now, I hope he won't disappoint us!" In addition, you will also use all the eyeliners of each government, let's see what the ministers of each government are doing now? ”

"Yes!" Jiang Zhen clenched his fists.

……

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Zhen were out of the palace.

East Palace.

Zhu Biao's personal eunuch Wang Pu walked in, and he said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has just left the palace!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Biao put down the book, looked at the personal eunuch in front of him, and wondered, "What happened when my father left the palace?" My father didn't leave the palace once or twice, why did he come to report this time? ”

"Your Highness, this time is different, this time the rumors have risen, Your Majesty has not punished King Qin, but has gone out of the palace to visit, maybe it will ......" Wang Pu said anxiously.

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Biao looked at the eunuch who had grown up with him with a disappointed expression, "It's not easy to treat you alone, why do you want to betray Lone?" ”

Although Jin Yiwei has found out that the initiator behind it is Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, this matter is only known to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in this inner palace, except for Jiang Zheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wouldn't go around talking nonsense, if Jiang Zhen was not strict-mouthed, he would have died eight hundred times, and Zhu Biao himself would not be able to publicize this matter.

There is only one reason why a eunuch who has never been out of the palace wall knows such a secret matter, and that is that he has been bribed.

"Do you want to make Lone suspicious of his father, and then start to seek medical treatment in a hurry, and if you do more, you will be more wrong...... gradually let his father be disappointed in Gu, and finally let his father depose Gu...... Or do you want to learn from Liu Ju or Li Shimin to lead the forbidden army to surround the imperial city and give a military advice? Zhu Biao said indifferently, "Say, who are you who bought you?" ”

"I didn't ...... No...... The slave just wants to remind His Highness! Wang Pu knelt on the ground in fear, his head pressed against the ground, pretending to tremble, but he secretly said in his heart: Why is the prince's behavior different from what the man said, shouldn't he immediately summon the James Mansion and the prince's third division to ask about countermeasures?

Zhu Biao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spit out softly: "That's it, Lone doesn't want to know who the person behind you is, Lone doesn't want to see you, ...... someone come."

"Your Highness, if the slave and maid don't leave, the slave and maid still want to serve you!" Wang Pu said this, raised his head and quietly peeked at Zhu Biao, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, sure enough, the prince is kind-hearted, and he is like this, just drive me out of the palace, but it doesn't matter, that person promised me that when he ascends the throne, I can be the head of Shangbao Prison, and even in the future, I can be the master of ceremonies.

"Heh......" Zhu Biao saw Wang Pu's expression in his eyes, and immediately smiled self-deprecatingly, he always thought that he abided by etiquette and treated his brothers and sisters, and his younger brothers would respect him and become his arms in the future to do something for this Ming Dynasty.

But he forgot, how can the royal family have any real brothers, friends and brothers, he can be brothers and friends, but can the younger brothers who covet the throne be brothers? I'm afraid that on the surface, but secretly I wish he died early.

"Since you don't want to go, then kill with a cane!" Zhu Biao looked at Wang Pu and said softly, "Just kill him in front of the East Palace!" ”

Zhu Biao doesn't like Zhu Yuanzhang to kill people, but he doesn't like to kill people himself, so he always doesn't speculate on others with malice, and when dealing with state affairs, he must let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple repeatedly approve the evidence, only those who have committed the most heinous crimes, Zhu Biao will order the execution, and most of those who do not die have been sentenced to exile or hard labor by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao has always believed in the inherent goodness of human nature.

Listening to Wang Pu's wailing now, Zhu Biao felt that he might have been too naïve before.

……

Outside the palace walls, a small eunuch rushed in.

The little eunuch walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the prince will kill the personal eunuch Wang Pu with a rod!" ”

This little eunuch was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to the East Palace, not to monitor Zhu Biao, but as a father, he was afraid that his son would be wronged, after all, they had many political discords, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Zhu Biao would think too much, so he sent a little eunuch to guard Zhu Biao, but if Zhu Biao's mood was not right, he would also go to appease him in time and resolve the misunderstanding between them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while and sighed: "It's really embarrassing." ”

"You go and pass on a message, let Biao'er change his clothes, and go with us to meet Zhu Yang!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to his personal eunuch.

……

In the small courtyard, after listening to Liu Yuan's report, Zhu Yang knew that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was hiding behind the rumors, and at the same time thought of a way to break the situation, but he needed the help of Old Man Huang.

"I hope Old Man Huang has enough ability to convince Zhu Yuanzhang!" Zhu Yang prayed silently, otherwise he could only watch Zhu Yuanzhang slaughter those mobs.

"Zhu boy, what are you calling us to do here, I don't know if we're busy now?" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the gate, he shouted, "I heard that you will be in high school, congratulations!" ”

"What are you happy about, He, a ghost, if it weren't for this Huiyuan, would Lao Tzu be frightened here?" Zhu Yang glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly saw the middle-aged man beside him, and asked, "Who is this, your son?" ”

"That's right, this is our son's name Huang Da!" Zhu Yuanzhang introduced.

When Zhu Biao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said secretly in his heart: Father, in front of my son, can you choose a nice name? Where does this leave me to lose face?

"Huang Da? You choose a name so casually! Zhu Yang pursed his lips, but his eyes were carefully looking at Zhu Biao.

"Tsk, there are people in this world who look so similar to me, all of them are just as handsome!" Zhu Yang circled around Zhu Biao and sighed, "I seem to see what I will look like when I am in my thirties in the future." ”

"Hey, that's true!" Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to look at Zhu Yang with a look of surprise, then looked at Zhu Biao, and then said with bad intentions, "We have heard you ask a question in the Zhuangyuan Building before, you said, 'Why do people look similar to their relatives, but not like others, for example, you are different from the old king next door, unless the old king next door is your father', and now you look very similar to my Huang Da, could it be that you are related to my son?" ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, Zhu Biao felt that he was inexplicably a little nervous: If Zhu Yang recognizes me now, should I give him a hug or give him a jade pendant? Oops, I don't seem to have the best jade with me......

Zhu Yang was as white as Zhu Yuanzhang: "Why don't you say that your son is my father......"

Zhu Biao hurriedly agreed: "Alas, my good emperor ......"

Zhu Yang: "......" This person seems to be taking advantage of me.

Zhu Biao: "......" Is this a recognition of me? How do you feel as if you don't recognize it again?

Zhu Yuanzhang: What are these two boys doing ......? Know each other's identities? But why can't we understand it?

Jiang Xuan: "......" I'm just a background board, I don't know anything, I don't see anything, I have to hold back not laughing, I must hold back!

Liu Yuan: "...... my God, what do I see?" Has the young master found his biological father?

……

"Cough, Brother Huang, you're so unkind, don't think that we look alike, just take advantage of me!" Zhu Yang pretended to cough and broke the silence.

Zhu Biao apologized in frustration: "It's not like I haven't seen my eldest son for a long time, I miss him a little!" "Sure enough, they didn't recognize me, I was amorous, and I wanted to cry.

"Your eldest son isn't home?" Zhu Yang asked.

"Ah...... Alas...... It's all our fault, we lost it! Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, who was a little lost, and said while stroking Zhu Biao's back with his hand, "Human traffickers are hateful, let's just turn around, and the eldest grandson will be gone!" ”

"Otherwise, let's see that you look quite similar to our Huang Da, or you will recognize our son as a godfather, and we will have many grandchildren, and if you become an official in the future, we will also have a care!" Zhu Yuanzhang suggested.

"Aren't you afraid that I will be your godgrandson, and then fight with your real grandson for family property?" Zhu Yang teased.

In the Ming Dynasty, some godsons are just house slaves, but some godsons can be equal to real sons.

"What are you afraid of, our family business is big, enough for you to share!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and didn't care.

"Forget it, it's more troublesome to have a big family business!" Zhu Yang waved his hand and said, "You see that Your Majesty's family business is so big, except for the prince, the other sons have been divided out, but it's not that some people are not satisfied and come out to rob the family business!" ”

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty is really able to give birth, as an emperor, he has a lot of opportunities, and he can still get twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters, which is really amazing; If Your Majesty doesn't become an emperor, becomes a rich man, and doesn't go to the court all day long to review and approve the chapters, it is estimated that he can create a nation! ”

Zhu Yang sighed, "It's a pity, it's not a good thing that Your Majesty can be born, and the people will suffer in the future!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked up at Zhu Yang at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is fresh, the emperor can give birth is not very good, you don't see those civil and military ministers all day long is the prosperity of the royal family!" ”

"Prosperity is prosperity, but don't pass it on to the people!" Zhu Yang said, "Your Majesty divides the kings, and the kings give birth to sons in the fiefdom, except for the crown prince, even if a king gives birth to five, the twenty-five kings will give birth to one hundred and twenty-five, of which the son-in-law inherits the throne, and the others are all county kings, and then the county kings are reborn...... Every son has to marry a wife and a concubine, and within three generations, the palace will inevitably not be able to accommodate so many people, so either the palace will be expanded, or these non-concubines will be separated......"

"What's worse is that these people with the status of royal relatives are all holding Yulu, and where do these Yulu come from, of course, it is from the people, how much income do I only receive in a year? I'm afraid that more than half of the money of these royal relatives will be spent. What's more, can you guarantee that these royal clansmen are all good people who abide by the law? In case any prince is greedy, takes the court's money, does evil in the fiefdom, and occupies the land...... You know, there is no tax on these lands.

If the land that is not taxed increases, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty will decrease, but what about the people? If there is no land, they will starve to death, and the officials, if they can't collect the taxes, they will force taxes, and even add taxes to the people who have no land to the people who still have land...... Cycle...... What will happen to Daming? ”

Zhu Yang's words made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao fall into deep thought.

"Is there a solution?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he felt that it seemed to be a mistake to divide the kings as a barrier.

Zhu Yang shook his head: "Solution?" Hehe...... How can I have a solution, Your Majesty values family affection, who dares to solve it? Therefore, this can only be left to the future emperor to solve, but I hope that this emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he must also have the ability to assist the minister of civil and military affairs wholeheartedly, after all, innovation has a price! ”

Zhu Yunwen wanted to cut the domain, but he was in a hurry and had no good ministers, which made it difficult for Zhu Dijing to succeed.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he also cut the domain, but he only cut the military power and governance power, and the tail was too big, of course, Zhu Di was afraid that a second self would appear, so he didn't cut it too hard.

"Since there is a price, then ......" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yang deeply, as the eldest grandson, as a son, this matter will be handed over to you.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Yang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's ill-intentioned eyes, a little confused, what's wrong? It always felt like some malice was coming at him......

"It's okay, you have to work hard!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Yang's shoulder.

"Yes, but don't worry, your godfather will help you!" Zhu Biao also learned from Zhu Yuanzhang and patted Zhu Yang on the other shoulder.

Zhu Yang looked at these two neurotic fathers and sons, and wondered a little: "Work hard? Help me? I know all the words, but why don't I understand them? ”

"Wait, who agrees to call you godfather?" Zhu Yang shouted, "It's not good for friends to meet for the first time, since we look so similar, we must be the same ancestor, so we should worship and be brothers!" ”

"Brother?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces darkened, and they looked around in unison: What about my stick, I want to beat this unfilial thing if I say anything today.

Jiang Zhen lowered his head, he felt so uncomfortable, he didn't dare to laugh, he didn't want to laugh but couldn't help it.

Ma Dan, why did you take over the official position of Jinyi Guard's commander in the first place? Spare me, O God.
