Chapter Seventy-Three: A Good Man Has Ambitions in All Directions

As soon as the younger brothers retreated, Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Dad, why don't you discuss with me?" ”

"Talking to you? So how can this thing be done? Zhu Yuanzhang pouted and said: "Just to convince your mother, it will cost us two catties of spittle, and then come with you?" We can't afford it. ”

heard that the queen mother agreed, so Zhu Biao did not object. "Then let me go too, I have to watch them to be relieved!"

"No, absolutely not!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again and again without thinking. "Isn't this nonsense? What if something goes wrong? ”

"Then aren't you afraid that the five of them will be in danger?" Zhu Biao looked at his father in disbelief. "The sixth child is still so young......"

"If the jade is not cut, when we herd the cattle, we were only seven years old......" Zhu Yuanzhang took out his set again.

"No, my father must treat everyone equally, either let me go with them or don't go at all!" Zhu Biao followed him.

"What are you guilty of? Can you be like them? It's true that it's our son, but you are the prince, the foundation of the country, we can't let you have the slightest mistake! Zhu Yuanzhang glared, and then said in a slow tone:

"They are vassal kings, and they will lead troops to fight in the future. Let's not let them suffer a little now, they will die in Saibei in the future! ”

Then he lowered his body again and said, "Okay, okay, don't pull this face yet." It's all my son, can we put them in danger? ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang told the prince about his arrangement:

"We arranged for Han Yike of Linhuai Zhixian County, and Ping Bao'er, Wen Yiwu, to take care of your five younger brothers together. Let's also let these two people report separately every day, so that they can supervise each other and make them dare not make trouble. ”

"That's it......" Zhu Biao's expression eased at this time. After thinking about it, he asked uneasily: "These two people, there won't be any special tasks, right?" ”

"Hey, kid smart." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Let's arrange these two trustworthy people to go to Fengyang, just counting on one of them to check the Mintian, and the other to see if the military tun has been invaded." ”

"Did my father give them his will?" Zhu Biao was slightly shocked, this is not a joke. If you don't get it right, you can't end it.

"Nope. We didn't even say it explicitly. Zhu Yuanzhang had an itch on his back, but he knew that he was at a loss, and he was embarrassed to let his son tickle, so he could only take the handle pitifully and solve it by himself after inserting it into the collar.

Zhu Biao was really indifferent, and said to himself: "Does my father want them to experience it for themselves?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded while tickling: "Ping Bao'er won't talk about it." Isn't Han Yi jealous and hateful? If you find something excessive, you won't be indifferent, right? We can only intervene in his last book, but it has to be a big case......"

"Then at least you have to hint at Han Zhixian, otherwise you will be waiting for a rabbit?" Zhu Biao said helplessly.

"Let's let Ping Bao'er go to him, but that's only for hints...... So no matter what happens in the end, there is always room for manoeuvre. Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh after speaking.

"Alas......"

When facing Huaixi Group, this feeling of being a rat bogey is really more unpleasant than being controlled by Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng as men back then.

"I have to wait for your younger brothers to grow up and be able to go out of town and lead the troops for our grandfather. We don't have to cross the river with eggs like this. He looked at the prince pitifully and said, "So, can you understand the old father's eagerness to cultivate their success?" ”

"Okay......" Zhu Biao nodded.

In fact, he has long known that his father's tolerance for the old brothers in Huaixi, in addition to nostalgia, is largely because the army is in the hands of these people.

It does not mean that if you take over the military power, you can control the army in your hands.

Because in addition to high-ranking generals, there are also a large number of middle and low-level officers who make up the army, and they are the backbone of the army and the direct leadership of ordinary soldiers.

And these middle and low-level officers are almost all the righteous sons and soldiers, old subordinates, and old brothers of the nobles.

A single nobleman may not have such a strong influence, but if he provokes them to join forces, the influence on the Ming army will be greater.

How to properly eliminate the threat of military merit groups is a difficult problem that all founding emperors have to face, and my father is certainly no exception.

"Okay, Erchen can not go." Zhu Biao finally accepted his father's arrangement, and finally insisted: "But at least let me know the situation of my younger brothers for the first time." ”

"Isn't that easy? Let's let Ping Baoer and Han Yike report to you directly. Zhu Yuanzhang happily agreed.

"Okay." Zhu Biao nodded.

Wan'an Palace.

Knowing that her son was going to the countryside to practice, Concubine Hu Chong borrowed wine to drown her sorrows.

is to cry while drinking, drink for a while, cry for a while, and look at Zhu Zhen on the side stunned.

"If my mother is really reluctant, then I won't go, right?"

"Go, you have to go, a good man has ambitions in all directions! Mother can't hold you back......" Concubine Hu Chong wiped a handful of tears and said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll ......"

"Woo, my mother can't bear you......" Concubine Hu Chong cried and hugged her son.

"Mother, are you a Gemini?" Zhu Zhen was speechless.

"If I give birth to two, it's okay, at least there is one by my side, woo woo......" Concubine Hu Chong cried and cried, and finally remembered what she was going to say and said:

"By the way, your grandfather's family is also in Fengyang, I heard that they live in the manor now, it seems to be called Hufuzhuang. If you encounter difficulties that you can't get over, you can ask them to go to them. ”

"Great!" Zhu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect his mother to be able to give herself a hole card. "But mother, you have to give me a token, otherwise how can you recognize my grandfather?"

"No, they can understand your face at a glance." Concubine Hu Chong said confidently.

Changyang Palace.

"Evil beast, kneel!" Concubine Da Ding held the thorn in her hand and scolded the seventh child angrily.

"Mother, what was wrong with me again?" The old seven are all circled.

"Your father called him to go to Wuying Palace, why didn't you follow?" Concubine Da Ding asked angrily.

"The eldest brother said that my father didn't call me!" Lao Qi shouted and hit the sky.

"If I don't call you, you won't go? How many times have I told you? If you want to be closer to your brothers, why don't you listen? ”

"They're going to be punished......," the old seven muttered.

"You don't care what they do, now your brothers and the sixth brother are going to go out together for a year, so I'll leave you alone in the main hall!"

"Isn't there still the eighth child...... "The seventh muttered quietly.

"Shut up." Concubine Da Ding whipped him on the cheek, and scolded him indisputably:

"After a year, you're completely separated from them! In the future, people will be in the same group as the sixth child! ”

"Then I'll tell my father, just go together!" Lao Qi screamed in pain.

"Didn't you say it to me? But your father told you to wait for the next batch! Just play with your brother! "Concubine Dading snapped another whip, worthy of the name of 'beating the concubine'.

"So what?" Lao Qi finally couldn't help but burst out: "I'm going to be a vassal later, who can see who at that time?" It's going to be a point in the end! ”

Saying that, he straightened his neck and dismantled the concubine and said, "You are all for yourself!" In order to show that he taught his son well, he was good at competing for favor from his father! ”

"You fart!" Concubine Da Ding was so angry that her face was blue and she snapped.

"The old lady is all for you!"

"You're just here to beat me, woo......"

~~

The next day, there was an edict saying: 'The second son of the emperor Qin Wangzhang, the third son of the emperor King Jin, the fourth son of the emperor Yan Wang Di, the fifth son of the emperor Wu Wanglu, and the sixth son of the emperor Chu Wang Zhen were stubborn and almost made a big mistake. ’
