Chapter 16: The Death of King Xiao Ming

The dragon has reverse scales, and those who touch it are killed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reverse scale is 'the death of King Xiao Ming', which is a stain that he can't erase.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not really obey the orders of King Xiao Ming for a day, he attracted the main force of the Yuan Dynasty for Zhu Yuanzhang for more than ten years, so that he could develop and grow. And Zhu Yuanzhang has nominally been a courtier of King Xiao Ming, there is no doubt about it.

As a result, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the melon step sank the boat, and King Xiao Ming was relieved......

This is called yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it is not but. King Xiao Ming's death, whether it was instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang or not, he can't get rid of it.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China, known as 'the right to get the position, unsurpassed in the ages'.

But the existence of this stain makes his road to the top no longer perfect, and he regrets how much he regrets in his heart, he can't sleep when he thinks about it in the middle of the night, he will be short of breath when he brags, and he will fork when he helps plants grow......

So it's too late for him to cover it up, the person concerned still dares to talk nonsense, so that Zhu Yuanzhang, who is already short-tempered, how can he not be in a hurry and be patient, how can he not explode?

"I say it again, it was not our intention to kill King Xiaoming, it was Yang Xian who instigated Liao Yongzhong to do it!" Zhu Yuanzhang defended himself unusually:

"Yang Xian's true face has been seen in the daylight, how can Xiao Liao still believe in his evil?"

"Because Yang Xian told Deqinghou that he was just Mr. Liu's mouthpiece......" Hu Weiyong replied slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang froze suddenly.

~~

Wuying Palace.

Hu Weiyong retired for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang still sat on the dragon chair in a trance.

"Microphone, microphone, good microphone, good Mr. Liu......"

"Father, you can't just listen to Hu Xiang's words." After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's self-talk, the prince hurriedly persuaded him: "Mr. Liu is above board, he will not act so recklessly." ”

"Biao'er, you underestimate Liu Bowen too much." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. "This 'My Son' is actually even more arrogant than Han Xin, and even more ruthless than Chen Ping back then."

"This, my son really doesn't know."

"The family is famous, the first of the four great talents in Jiangnan, and the Jinshi of the former Yuan. Oh yes, Li Shanchang also participated in that imperial examination, but he didn't get in. Recalling the past, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice gradually relaxed.

"Oops, so your Uncle Li has always been a little inferior in front of him. Although he has always been polite to Lao Li, he actually looks down on Han Gong. ”

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at himself and said: "Actually, in his bones, he didn't even pay attention to us, and he thought there was something great about you Zhu Chongba?" Isn't it just a mud leg who has let go of cows and been a monk to eat? What do you know other than fighting, killing, killing? ”

"So we invited him several times and he refused to go out of the mountain, but then we were in a hurry and asked someone to give him a big sword, and he came to Yingtian honestly."

"Mr. Liu was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was a very difficult decision to let him join the rebel army." Zhu Biao carefully spoke for Liu Ji and said: "But after he entered the scene, he gave advice to his father, worked hard, and was honest and self-disciplined as an official. ”

"But he has never been like others, convinced us!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice, and said abruptly: "His heart has never been handed over to us." ”

"Not to mention the hairy boy Xiao Ming Wang. In the eighth year of the dragon and phoenix, Wang Baobao went south to Yidu and broke Liu Futong. In the past few years, Zhang Shicheng took advantage of the fire to rob again, surrounded Anfeng, where King Xiaoming was located, and besieged it for a long time, and people in the city cannibalized each other. So he sent someone to ask us for help. ”

"Liu Bowen resolutely objected, saying that we were originally weaker than Chen Youliang, and if we divided our troops to rescue, it would be tantamount to making enemies on both sides, and Chen Youliang would definitely take the opportunity to attack." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again and said:

"Besides, if you rescue King Xiao Ming, where should you pay it?" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he rubbed his face with his hands and sighed: "At that time, we felt that we were different men, and we couldn't learn from Peng Dashuai and Sun Deya, so we didn't listen to him, and we almost lost a pot." ”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but bow slightly, he was nine years old that year, and he still remembered that thrilling time.

He remembered that after his father personally sent troops to reinforce An Feng, Chen Youliang really came to the nest when he heard the news.

If it weren't for the fact that his cousin Zhu Wenzheng created a miracle in Hongdu, blocking Chen Youliang's 600,000 Han army for 85 days with 20,000 troops, and winning valuable time for the army to return to the division, Ying Tiancheng would definitely be lost, and the Ming Dynasty would not have appeared.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to recall the Battle of Hongdu, but to talk about Liu Bowen. He said in a deep voice:

"After rescuing King Xiao Ming, we originally planned to place him in Yingtian, and many civil and military forces also suggested setting up a throne in Zhongshu Province to worship him. But Mr. Liu was furious and resolutely objected, saying, 'He's just a sheep herding child, and he has a fart'! ”

"We asked him privately why he was mad, and he let us know for the first time, what is 'the desire of the people, the destiny of heaven', what is the meaning of 'the heavens have no two days, the country has no two masters', alas, let us know how naΓ―ve our ideas are."

"So we placed King Xiao Ming in Chuzhou, built a palace for him to live in, and replaced all the eunuch guards around him with his own people, and raised them as a bird......"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and said: "Mr. Liu's attitude towards King Xiao Ming has always been like this, and when he disagrees with us, he often proves that he is right afterwards......"

Zhu Biao's heart was full of shock, this was the first time his father told him these things.

Even after listening to these old things, he felt that Liu Bowen had both motive and courage, and had the conditions to instigate Liao Yongzhong to kill King Xiao Ming.

He also noticed that his father's unwittingly changed the title of Liu Bowen back to 'Mr. Liu'......

~~

At this time, it was already dusk, and the slanting sun was like blood, reflecting the Wuying Hall red.

"Biao'er." After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked a little nervously: "Do you also think that King Xiao Ming was killed by our order?" ”

"Erchen never thought of it that way." Zhu Biao shook his head.

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his beloved eldest son.

"Because the son believes in his father, and his father has never deceived his son." Zhu Biao gave a full score answer and said: "My father said no, that is, no." ”

"Hahaha, you kid has learned to slip his head too!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly when he heard this, and the depression in his chest also decreased a lot.

"Yes, we don't!" He stood up, stepped out of the dragon chair, stepped out of the shadow of dusk, and stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back. Gu Pan Zixiong said loudly:

"We have already had a charter, and we have asked Song Lian to prepare for a series of ceremonies for Zen concession, abdication, and enthronement, and prepare to be honored by Zen with dignity and dignity."

"Otherwise, why would we let Xiao Liao pick him up? Let him die directly in Chuzhou, isn't it a hundred times more decent than Guabu Shenzhou? ”

"That's right." Zhu Biao nodded and sighed: "I don't know what those people think?" What kind of merit is this? This is trapping the monarch in injustice! ”

"Hehe, Biao'er, your baby is still too tender." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled contemptuously and touched his black lips. "Who are they asking for? They risked this big disapproval, all for their own sake! ”

"They are?"

"We have already written it on the iron coupon for Xiao Liao."

"Confucianism?" When Zhu Biao said these two words, he was instantly clear, and three words burst out in his heart:

Zhedong Party!
