Chapter 239: Scare

Don't look at him as belittling Lan Bin, he is actually excusing Lan Bin.

Although he didn't meet Lan Bin much, he and Lan Yu's brother-in-law Chang Yuchun were brothers, and they also had a deep friendship with Lan Yu.

At this juncture, he naturally wouldn't watch Lan Bin have an accident.

Especially when he and Zhu Yuanzhang were young, they followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world when they grew up, and even Zhu Yuanzhang entered the righteous army, which he brought with him.

He doesn't know too much about Zhu Yuanzhang, he knows very well that Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is not big, once he is remembered by Zhu Yuanzhang, unless he takes the initiative to ask for guilt and eliminate the estrangement.

Otherwise, wait until one day, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and then the problem will be serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Tang He and said, "Dingchen, you still know him!" This kid really didn't do anything before. But this kid is now older and starting to be sensible."

"Although he is young, he has made many meritorious contributions to the court! We still have a lot of expectations for him!"

As soon as Tang He heard this, he knew that he had made a mistake in judgment, and Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was at most dissatisfied with Lan Bin's previous behavior of throwing away the travelogue. It's not that I'm worried about Lan Bin.

On the contrary, from Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he also saw that Zhu Yuanzhang valued Lan Bin.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Lan Bin, and the rumors that he treats Lan Bin as a nephew in his later life are true!

Thinking about it, he smiled and said, "That kid Lan Bin can enter the eyes of the emperor, it is really a blessing that the Lan family cultivated in their previous life!"

"What a pity! The travelogue was thrown away by Lan Bin's kid, otherwise he would have known some other records in the travelogue!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, remembered the travelogue, and said with some regret.

Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't be sorry, what is recorded in the travelogue may not be true!"

"No, what is recorded in the travelogue is most likely true!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.

He also doubted the authenticity of the travelogue at the beginning, but afterwards he ordered someone to investigate, and there were indeed many people from the Western Regions who came to the Central Plains in the former Yuan. Moreover, it is also true that the people of the Western Regions mentioned by Lan Bin presented seven patterns, including a globe, to Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the former Yuan Dynasty.

It can be inferred from this that the foreign business travelogue mentioned by Lan Bin is very likely to be true.

And this is one of the fundamental reasons why he is willing to send someone to Sakura Country to verify Iwami Ginzan.

Tang He was surprised, "Why?"

"You'll know later!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.

Although Tang He is small, he is a brother and can be trusted. But trust is one thing, and the secrecy of the court is another.

Between the two, he made a clear difference.

Tang He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, so he didn't ask more, and changed the topic and said, "Then the emperor came to me, did he want the minister to lead the fleet to the cherry blossom country to find the silver mountain?"

"That's what we originally thought about, and let you transfer a fleet from the sailor to Sakura Country to verify the silver mountain. But Lan Bin, this kid, said to Biao'er that the movement of the fleet from the sailor to the cherry blossom country was too big! Let's give up on this idea!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said.

Lan Bin, this kid, can actually persuade the emperor?

Tang He was stunned, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was stubborn, and once he decided on something, the eight cows would not be able to pull it back. There are only three and a half people in the world who can persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

One is Queen Ma, the other is the crown prince Zhu Biao, and the other is Zhu Xiongying, who has not grown up yet.

In addition, even he, who is small and worships his brother many times, can't persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

He never thought that Lan Bin, a doll who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, would be able to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang and change Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

If it weren't for what Zhu Yuanzhang said personally, he wouldn't have believed it.

Thinking about it, he said again, "Then the emperor is ready now..."

"There's no hurry, I'll talk about it later!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, changed the topic, and asked about Yongning, while Tang He answered truthfully one by one. ……

After about half an hour, Lan Bin was tired and sweating profusely, so he barely finished removing the grass in the vegetable field, and then collected the weeds that had been pulled out and piled them on the edge of the vegetable field, revealing the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable field.

Then Lan Bin tidied up his clothes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, who were sitting on the edge of the vegetable patch, and walked over.

He replied, "Your Majesty, the weeds in the vegetable field have been removed!"

"Count you through, sit down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at the fact that he had been talking to Tang He, but in fact, he saw the process of Lan Bin's weeding in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and beckoned people to move a stool and put it next to Tang He's position before he said.

Lan Bin said politely, "Don't dare!"

"Let you sit, you sit! There are no outsiders here, so why wouldn't you dare?" Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Lan Bin saluted, he glanced at Tang He before coming to the seat next to Tang He and sitting down.

As soon as he sat down, Tang He smiled and said, "Boy Lan Bin, do you remember me?"

"Remember, you're Uncle Tom!" Lan Bin subconsciously glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang before he said.

In fact, when he first came, he already recognized Tang He, but Zhu Yuanzhang was at present, and it was inconvenient for him to greet Tang He.

At this time, Tang He took the initiative to speak, and he naturally didn't pretend not to know.

Tang He said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, it's rare that your kid still remembers me!"

"Uncle Tang said with a smile, you take care of my Lan family a lot, how could I forget you!" Lan Bin complimented.

It's not that he compliments Tang He, but the truth.

Huaixi Xungui is already in the same spirit, and Tang He and his uncle Chang Yuchun are brothers, so they often take care of the Lan Mansion.

Even his father Lan Yu caused trouble, it was Tang He and other Huaixi nobles who were maneuvering from it.

"Alright, you guys can catch up later! Let's get down to business!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the two of them and interjected, "Boy Lan Bin, let's listen to Biao'er, you don't approve of our fleet of water diverters going to Sakura Country. And instigated us to open the sea ban and trade with the cherry blossom country?"

In the end, he deliberately kept a straight face and stared at Lan Bin tightly, as if Lan Bin would punish Lan Bin for his sin if he didn't give him a satisfactory answer.

Tang He looked stunned, and turned his head to look at Lan Bin, this kid is not very old, why is he so bold? Even if you oppose the emperor's order, how dare you instigate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open the sea ban?

Sea ban, is that something that can be touched?

Not to mention that you have no jokes, it is impossible to change the maritime ban policy that was once decreed, that is, the maritime ban involves a wide range of things, openly and secretly, and I don't know how many forces are involved in it.

If you instigate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open the sea ban, aren't you afraid of causing trouble to your Lan Mansion?

Lan Bin was startled, secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, pondered twice in his heart, and was relieved to be sure that Zhu Yuanzhang was scaring himself. But he made a look of wrongedness on his face.

hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you have been wronged! The minister did not instigate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open the sea ban, but the minister just felt that it was too big to mobilize the fleet of sailors to go to the cherry blossom country. And the formation of merchant ships by the people, and the trade with the cherry blossom country, the movement is small, and it is more possible to conceal and verify the Iwami Silver Mountain."

"It also said that there was no instigation of Biao'er to open the sea ban, we decreed that the board should not go to the sea, you instigated Biao'er to trade with the Sakura Country, that is not instigating the opening of the sea ban, what is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a glare.
