Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang talked about overseas affairs, and as for how Zhu Biao dealt with those nobles who engaged in land annexation in China, the two did not mention it at all.

The two of them are also big-hearted, and they said that they would hand it over to Zhu Biao.

Before Zhu Biao took the initiative to report to them, the two didn't ask a word.

Zhu Biao himself also knew that the task given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han this time was of great significance, so he did not start easily, but was still light and light, he should deal with government affairs, and when he should go to the government affairs hall to find Li Shanchang, he would go to Li Shanchang, and even in his leisure time, he could take the princess to the suburbs for a tour, and he didn't seem to take the matter of dealing with land annexation to heart.

Tang Shengzong and other nobles were a little apprehensive at first, but seeing that Zhu Biao did not promote this matter, his hanging heart gradually relaxed, and he threatened: The prince is just going through the motions, he doesn't dare, and he is not qualified to deal with the nobles who fight the world with Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seems to be true.

If Zhu Biao really didn't have the courage to face Xungui as they said, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have cultivated him for so many years in vain.

What is Zhu Biao doing now?

He's waiting!

and so on!

……

On this day, Zhao Yong, as usual, came to the East Palace to help Zhu Biao deal with government affairs.

Zhu Biao, as usual, asks questions and then comes up with suggestions and methods to deal with them.

After a busy day, Zhao Yong put away the government affairs handled today by category, and then asked Zhu Biao for his resignation: "Your Highness, the hour is not early, the minister will go back first." ”

If it's too late, the palace will be closed, and he won't be able to get out at that time, so trouble is indispensable.

Therefore, when Zhao Yong leaves, he usually does it before the palace closes, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

In the past, if Zhu Biao was dealing with government affairs, he would respond to Zhao Yong and let him leave, but this time it was different, when Zhao Yong said that he was leaving, Zhu Biao directly stopped him: "Nanxiong Hou, don't be impatient." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Yong just wanted to turn around and leave, but he suddenly stopped when he heard Zhu Biao's words.

According to the usual practice, Zhu Biao would let Zhao Yong leave now, but suddenly stopped him, Zhao Yong was still a little unaccustomed, and turned to look at Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, is there anything else?" ”

"You wait."

Zhu Biao lowered his head and continued to deal with official business, while Zhao Yong stood beside him, fidgeting.

After Zhu Biao finished correcting the folds in his hand, he put down his pen, raised his head to look at Zhao Yong, saw Zhao Yong's restless appearance, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Nanxiong Hou, are you still nervous to let you stay?" ”

"No, no."

Zhao Yong calmed himself down, and then explained: "Your Highness, it's not early, the door of the palace is closed on time, and I am worried that not leaving before closing will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"There's nothing to bother, I'll have someone send you out when the time comes." Zhu Biao sat on the chair, looked at Zhao Yong up and down, saw that Zhao Yong's heart was numb, Zhao Yong had a ghost in his heart, and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, if you have anything to do with it, just arrange the ministers directly, and the ministers will definitely handle it for you." ”

Zhu Biao did not answer Zhao Yong's question, but asked rhetorically: "Marquis Nanxiong, after so long, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Zhao Yong felt a sigh in his heart, thinking of the filth in his heart, he suddenly became nervous, but he still habitually thought that Zhu Biao was just a child, even if he wanted to deal with himself, he didn't dare to go too far.

Thinking about the years that have followed Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao has always been a gentle and elegant character, and he has never seen him blush, such a prince should be very easy to deal with.

Zhao Yong's heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and he bowed down and said to Zhu Biao: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear." ”

Express?

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong, who was bowing to face him, and sneered in his heart.

He looks respectful to himself, but in fact he has no respect for himself at all, since Zhao Yong has this attitude, then Zhu Biao thinks that he has nothing to be polite about.

"Nanxiong Hou, I remember that you are from Luzhou, right? Later, I followed my eldest brother Zhao Heng to garrison Chaohu, and when my father hit Chaohu, you took refuge in my father, and then followed my father to fight in the south and the north. ”

Zhu Biao told Zhao Yong's history, Zhao Yong stood there honestly, bowed his head and listened to Zhu Biao's words obediently: "Later, you returned to Luzhou, recently I was in Yingtian, I heard a news, I don't know if it's true, please Nanxiong Hou for me to solve my doubts." ”

Zhao Yong also knew about the news about him that had been circulating in Yingtianfu recently, but Zhao Yong was not as worried as he imagined, and stood in place without saying a word, waiting for Zhu Biao to continue.

"Marquis Nanxiong, the person named Zhang Chi in Luzhou is from your brother-in-law's daughter-in-law's family, right?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong, "I heard that he bought a lot of acres of land in Luzhou, and said that he was doing things for you?" Isn't that so? ”

"Who is Zhang Chi? I don't know him. ”

Zhao Yong did not admit it, but bowed down to Zhu Biao again and said, "Please also ask Your Highness to be clear." ”

Perceive?

Zhu Biao shook his head secretly, Zhao Yong really didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back: "I don't need to be clear, I just need to know the facts, Nanxiong Hou, I'll give you another chance to tell me, did you arrange Zhang Chi?" ”

"It's not!"

has chosen not to admit it before, and now Zhao Yong will not change his words.

If you don't admit it, you're not afraid of what Zhu Biao can do with herself.

Besides, the one called Zhang Chi died when he died, and Zhao Yong was not distressed at all.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but became relaxed: "It is worthy of being a fierce general who fought the world with my father, but ...... It would be much better if Nanxionghou's brother-in-law and Zhang Chi could be like you. ”

“……”

Zhao Yong's face changed suddenly, it was extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that Zhu Biao would bypass him and do it directly, how could he do this?

"Someone."

Zhu Biao's voice fell, and the palace guards outside the door walked in, Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong: "Send Nanxionghou to see his brother-in-law and Zhang Chi, they haven't seen each other for a long time, they should have a good chat, and let our Nanxionghou think clearly, is someone acting against the yin, or someone is instructed to do it!" ”

Zhao Yong looked up at Zhu Biao, and he suddenly found that he saw a different side from Zhu Biao.

In the past, Zhu Biao was gentle and elegant, and he was a humble gentleman in Zhao Yong's heart, but now Zhao Yong found that the current Zhu Biao and the Zhu Biao in his cognition are completely two people.

In Zhu Biao's eyes, there was something he had never seen before.

This kind of look was what he had seen in Zhu Han's eyes and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Spicy! Decisive! Firmness!

Zhao Yong, who watched it, couldn't help but shudder......

This made Zhao Yong suddenly realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him seemed to be different from his impression.

Dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are both dragons, tigers and phoenixes among people, how can the next generation of their old Zhu family be inactive?

Zhao Yong's heart was particularly remorseful at this time, and the regret was not that he had lied, but that he had underestimated Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, the minister retires!"

This time, Zhao Yong said sincerely.

Zhu Biao was indifferent to this, he had already given Zhao Yong a chance, but unfortunately he didn't grasp it, so he couldn't blame Zhu Biao!

Self-inflicted, deserved!

At the same time, Zhu Biao also saw that Zhao Yong's contempt for himself was not an exception.

Including Tang Shengzong's group of military generals and nobles, they all more or less looked down on themselves.

Looking down on Zhu Biao, it's easy to say, Zhu Biao likes this feeling of being underestimated, in Zhu Han's words, this is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

In this way, when dealing with problems, it will be much simpler, and the opponent will take the initiative to expose the shortcomings because they underestimate you.

After sending Zhao Yong away, Zhu Biao pointed the finger at the generals and nobles led by Feng Sheng, but he was not in a hurry, the longer the time dragged on, the more meat would be cut from those nobles, and what Zhu Biao wanted to find now was an opportunity.

Of course, if someone comes over to Zhu Biao and takes the initiative to admit it, and reveals the facts and truth, Zhu Biao will also open up to them.

After all, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang handed over this matter to Zhu Biao to do, what they wanted was to let Zhu Biao stand up for power, and then look at Zhu Biao's means of dealing with problems.

……

Zhu Biao is looking for an opportunity to deal with the noble group, and there are also people who understand among those nobles, and they have been looking for an opportunity to open a breakthrough from Zhu Biao.

For example, Feng Sheng.

Different from the original history, in the original history, Feng Sheng's brother Feng Yong did not die in battle, and now he is being named the Duke of Yingguo and is living well, and is now colonizing Goguryeo on the eastern front in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with Feng Yong, Feng Sheng is a little worse, and Feng Yong is the only handsome talent in the army who can be compared with Xu Da, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not make any compensation to Feng Sheng because of Feng Yong's death, and it is already a great honor to make him the Duke of Song.

However, Feng Sheng has one thing that Feng Yong can't compare, he is very cautious...... To say that it is too hesitant to say that it is too difficult.

Since learning that Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the matter of thorough investigation of land annexation to Zhu Biao.

Feng Sheng has always been very careful, he does not go out of the door, but his eyes are always staring at Zhao Yong.

At the beginning, Feng Sheng, like everyone else, didn't take Zhu Biao seriously, but he soon woke up: If Zhu Biao didn't achieve anything, how could Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang hand over the matter of dealing with military generals and nobles to Zhu Biao?

Let Zhu Biao have thousands of opportunities, and let Zhu Biao stand up for power in the way of dealing with military generals and noble groups, which is a very risky move.

After thinking about this, Feng Sheng immediately became calm, he hid at home and thought about how he would deal with it next, so that when Tang Shengzong and the other martial artists came to look for him, he was closed.

Then, Feng Sheng sent someone to keep an eye on Zhao Yong, he didn't dare to send someone to stare at Zhu Biao, in case Zhu Yuanzhang knew, it would be no different from a rebellion, but Zhao Yong would go to see Zhu Biao every day, as long as he went home on time, Feng Sheng felt that he was at ease.

At first, there was nothing wrong when he stared, but soon Zhao Yong had no news, and he didn't go home for several days, Feng Sheng soon realized that something happened to Zhao Yong, no accident, it must be Zhao Yong who Zhu Biao won, otherwise how could he have no news at all?

Zhao Yong is the only weakness around Zhu Biao, and now that this weakness is gone, Feng Sheng has no point in continuing to hold on.

Of course, if it was because of something else that happened to Zhao Yong, Feng Sheng's current worries would be superfluous, but Feng Sheng didn't dare to bet!

After thinking about it, Feng Sheng found an opportunity in the dead of night and secretly went to see Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang is the same as in history, Zhu Yuanzhang's big butler, but unlike in history, his status is not as high as in the original history.

Because there is Zhu Han in this life.

In the eyes of most people, Zhu Han is the most suitable housekeeper for Zhu Yuanzhang, he just saw Li Shanchang's ability and handed over the housekeeper to Li Shanchang, this opportunity to assist Zhu Yuanzhang was given by Zhu Han, not won by Li Shanchang himself.

However, Li Shanchang's current status is enough for some people to respect him.

For example, Feng Sheng.

They are considered fellow villagers, and they move around each other on weekdays, and Li Shanchang is also happy to associate with these people.

When Feng Sheng came to find Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong was also there.

"Mr. Li, Wei Yong."

Feng Sheng sat with the two of them first to greet each other, Hu Weiyong saw that Feng Sheng was sitting there and didn't leave, knowing that he had something to find Li Shanchang, so he didn't stay any longer, and after a few words of greeting, he got up and said goodbye, leaving the space for Li Shanchang and Feng Sheng.

After leaving, Hu Weiyong knew the reason why Feng Sheng came to Li Shanchang after a little thought, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" Your Majesty and the King of England have given you a broad road, you don't have to go to them, you have to do it with them, and now you understand...... It's late. ”

It's really late.

After Hu Weiyong left, Feng Sheng couldn't wait to tell Li Shanchang about his land collection in his hometown, hoping that Li Shanchang would give him some ideas to get through this matter safely.

Li Shanchang seemed to have known about this matter for a long time, and after Feng Sheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Zongyi, you are confused!" Your Majesty hates buying land on a large scale, and Your Majesty has pointed out the way to make a fortune to you, let you go overseas to make money, many people have made a fortune with the help of our merchant ships, you don't want such a good opportunity to make a fortune, why do you have to worry about those acres of land? How much money can I make with this little thing? ”

If you invest money in the merchant navy, a year's profit can be worth several years of land income, and who can't see the pros and cons here?

Feng Sheng was also remorseful at this time, and he said truthfully to Li Shanchang: "It's all my fault that I was blinded by lard, thinking that wealth and nobility would not return to my hometown like a brocade at night, so I thought crookedly and went the wrong way, and asked Mr. Li to help me." ”

Help?

How can it help?

Help Feng Sheng and Zhu Yuanzhang to do it?

Li Shanchang directly dispelled this thought from his heart: I can't help!

Just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Feng Sheng pounced and knelt directly in front of Li Shanchang, and threw himself to the ground: "Please save me, sir!" ”

Feng Sheng's sudden kneeling startled Li Shanchang, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Sheng up: "Zongyi, what are you doing here?" Get up, get up! ”

But no matter how Li Shanchang pulled, Feng Sheng just couldn't afford it, and knelt on the ground with an iron heart and begged Li Shanchang to give him an idea, and the helpless Li Shanchang had no choice but to say to Feng Sheng: "You get up first, let's discuss slowly, get up!" If you can't afford it, I'll make you if you haven't been here! ”
