"Little prince, don't deceive people too much, even if you make trouble with the emperor, the emperor may not stand on your side, don't forget how much the old man has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty."

Lan Yu said with a strong sigh of rage.

"General, when did that happen, you old man can't always count on that little merit and wait for death, right? Let's give the opportunity to young people, and besides, Daming is not what it used to be. ”

Zhu Gui said as he wanted to pat Lan Yu's shoulder, but with his current height, he could only pat the other party's stomach, which made Zhu Gui a little embarrassed, and then turned around and left.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Gui's departing figure, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he muttered, "If you offend the old man, you still want to leave?" The old man will let you see what it means to be a victorious general. ”

Zhu Gui naturally deliberately provoked Lan Yu, just to make him angry, so that he would lose his mind and make wrong judgments, so that Zhu Gui could be given a chance.

Otherwise, with Zhu Gui's reputation, if he wants to regret Lan Yu, I'm afraid that no one will support him.

However, before Zhu Gui left the palace, he was stopped by the chief eunuch, "Acting king, the emperor summoned you, please follow the old slave to the imperial study." ”

Zhu Gui was not surprised, he had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with the arrogant Lan Yu, coupled with the current condition of the crown prince, I am afraid that there will be many obstacles for Zhu Yunwen to become the throne in the future, and Lan Yu is one of the most dangerous factors.

Zhu Gui followed the chief eunuch to the imperial study, and after getting Zhu Yuanzhang's dictation, he bowed his head and walked in.

This is the second time Zhu Gui has come to the imperial study, last time he and Zhu Yunwen came to find the design of the Daming treasure ship, but he didn't find it, is there a chance to get it from the old man this time?

Zhu Gui now thinks that this problem has come to me again.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the desk, and there was a thick stack of folds on the table, but it seemed that few of them had been approved, these were the work of Prince Zhu Biao before, but now that Zhu Yuanzhang is old, he doesn't want to care about these things.

"Zhu Gui, did you mean what you said in the early court before? Will you really be able to repel the Mongols? If you fail, you'll lose the face of the whole Ming. ”

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly.

"Father, Erchen is not completely sure, but if he can transfer the 30,000 elite cavalry under the command of General Lan Yu to Erchen's subordinates, then the odds will be greater."

Zhu Gui lowered his head and said, not daring to look directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, really afraid that the other party would see his little thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Although I don't know why your kid has an awkward relationship with General Lan Yu, but you did a good job this time, I agreed to transfer Lan Yu's subordinates to you for use, but don't you really need a cent of military salary from the treasury?" Is it really that profitable to sell salt?"

Zhu Gui was taken aback when he heard this, he would definitely bleed again if he continued to talk like this, so he immediately said, "Erchen just wants to share his father's worries, serve the imperial court, and make a name for me, and he has no other thoughts, please don't think about it." ”

"Hmph, don't talk to me about these bullshit, I really watched you grow up with your bare ass, don't you know that little bit of caution about you? Say, what more could you want? Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said.

Zhu Gui knelt down all of a sudden, and said, "It's still the father who understands Erchen, since this is the case, Erchen is not welcome, Erchen wants the design drawings of the Daming Treasure Ship." ”

"The blueprints of the treasure ship? How did you know there was something in the palace? Who told you? Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned and asked.

"Father, please don't get me wrong, Erchen saw it in an ancient book, I just want to ask my father about it, there is such a thing in the palace." Zhu Gui immediately said with a smile.

"You kid, you have become so cunning, I didn't expect me to be blown up by you, well, Zheng promised, if you can really win this war, I can give you the rubbings of the treasure ship blueprints." Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

Seeing this, Zhu Gui immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Father, can you easily lift the sea ban on your son's fiefdom?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said angrily, "You kid was waiting for me here, and you designed all this, right?" You want that small county town by the sea, and you want me to lift the sea ban for you, what else do you want to do? Do you really think I won't punish you? ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Gui angrily.

Zhu Gui didn't have any worries at this time, because he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang still needed him to fight, so even if he was angry, he wouldn't do anything to him at this time, which was why he had no fear.

"Father, just lift the sea ban on the fief of one of the sons, if there is really any emergency, you can also stop the loss in time, the sons will be careful, of course, the sons will also hand over the money earned from overseas trade, of which thirty percent will be handed over to the treasury." Zhu Gui lay on the ground and said seriously.

"Daming is so extensive, why do you insist on trading overseas? How did my old Zhu family give birth to such an outlier as you? That's it, whatever you want, but the premise of all this is that you have to win this battle, and you have to win it very beautifully, if you can't, nothing else will be discussed. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to Zhu Gui to express his helplessness at this time.

Zhu Gui suddenly became happy in his heart, today is his unprecedented breakthrough, not only got an outlet to the sea, but also Zhu Yuanzhang personally promised to lift the sea ban, of course, the premise of all this is that he can defeat the Mongols beautifully, but this is obviously a small meaning for Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui quickly left the imperial study, left the palace, and returned to the palace of the acting king, while eating, he mentioned to Xu Miaoqing what happened in the morning dynasty and the imperial study today.

Xu Miaoqing listened attentively, and even forgot to clip the dishes, "So you are going to war again, Lord Wang?" You must take me with you this time. ”

It turned out that she was worried about this matter, Zhu Gui wanted to refuse, but when she saw the other party's expectant eyes, she couldn't help but feel soft, not to mention that he knew that Xu Miaoqing was not an ordinary woman, so he nodded after thinking about it again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoqing suddenly stood up and hugged Zhu Gui, "Lord Wang, you are so good, I, I will repay you well today." ”

After saying that, Xu Miaoqing didn't even eat, and ran out of the living room.

"What's going on? Why did she suddenly open her mind? How does she want to repay me? Could it be...? Zhu Gui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly lost interest in eating, and immediately chased after Xu Miaoqing.
