Chapter 329: The Prince
Queen Ma was finally willing to cook, and ordered a big bowl of hand-rolled noodles with chicken soup for Boss Zhu and the prince.
"Girl, again, another bowl." Zhu Yuanzhang ate very deliciously, and he couldn't see it at all, he had already eaten six points of fullness elsewhere.
"It's that good?" Queen Ma asked.
"Delicious, of course delicious. We haven't eaten your food for half a year. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with a greasy smile: "I can't sleep even if I think about this." ”
As he spoke, he touched his cheeks and said, "Look, I've lost weight." ”
"Nonsense, so many people are scrambling to let you go to eat, and they can't feed you?" Queen Ma snorted.
"Can't compare, can't compare." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, mother-in-law, when will the second daughter-in-law be born?" ”
"It's coming, it's the end of this month." Queen Ma sighed: "I don't dare to let her know what her man is doing." ”
"It's good that I don't know." Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more empty-hearted and said: "Otherwise, if you are worried all day long, it will be easy to move the fetus." ”
"I'm embarrassed to say." Queen Ma glanced at him, turned around and went to the kitchen to roll noodles.
"Phew, it's not easy......" Seeing her back disappear behind the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief: "Your mother's temperament is too long this time." ”
"The main thing is connected." The prince couldn't help but smile: "The matter of the eldest sister has just passed, and the younger brothers have gone to the battlefield again. ”
"You just say, their performance is not beautiful, right?!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked proudly.
"It's unexpectedly beautiful." The prince nodded and said, "Especially the fourth child's head work, Uncle Xu can give it to him, it must be indisputable!" ”
"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang touched his belly and said: "This is a battle feat fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, which is much more convincing than last year's winter performance." ”
Saying that, he said hatefully: "During the Chinese New Year, those guys made fun of Bao'er for opening the back door for his cousin. Are they joking with Paul? They are pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man! Say we're putting gold on your brother's face! ”
"Not this time. Uncle Xu governs the army strictly, and he will never break the rules of the army for the sake of a few of his brothers. The prince laughed.
"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily and said, "No one will question Tiande's ...... Boss, you will report the battle tomorrow! If you understand, you will understand. ”
"Yes, Father." Zhu Biao nodded, he knew that his father had been under great pressure because of the star changes for a while.
Especially after Ye Boju's "Ying Zhao Chen Yanshu" spread, although the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China did not dare to respond openly, they wrote to rescue them one after another. Even the treacherous and cunning Hu Weiyong openly said at the court meeting that the emperor personally decreed that 'those who speak up and are not guilty'.
Now some people have 'responded to the edict and made statements,' and even if there are rebellious and unrighteous words, they should not be 'punished for their words.'"
In the words of Prime Minister Hu Cheng, it is 'just Ye Boju's life and death, as light as a feather.' But the emperor reversed his word and broke his trust in the world, which is heavier than Mount Tai! ’
As a result, Boss Zhu was very passive. After Ye Boju was escorted to Beijing, he didn't shoot him with his own hands as he wished, and he didn't even see him, and he was kept in the prison of the pro-army governor's mansion.
Now to publicize the great military exploits made by several princes, it should be able to largely eliminate the negative impact of the Ye Bo case on the younger brothers......
"But it's hard to say...... ' The prince shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that those people were worried that the vassal king would become bigger and threaten the imperial court. The more the younger brothers can fight, the more worried they will be.
"Boss." The prince was a little distracted, but he heard Zhu Yuanzhang call.
"Father." He was busy steady.
"Why did Dad divide the kings, you should know best." Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to talk to the prince about this issue, so as not to cause estrangement between father and son.
"Yes." The crown prince nodded and said, "The first is to achieve a smooth transfer of military power, and the second is to let the clan guard the border for the country." After a pause, he said: "If there is a rebellion of the minister, he can also be ordered to quell the rebellion." ”
"Yes, my father is all for the sake of our old Zhu family, so I can sit more stable." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and lowered his voice:
"But Dad is also thinking about it for a while, is it too much power for your brother? Shouldn't they cut it a little while they haven't settled yet? It's much easier than cutting them later. ”
"Father, don't do it." Zhu Biao hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "The younger brothers have just made great contributions, but instead of being rewarded, they have been cut off, which will make them feel cold!" ”
After a pause, the prince said resolutely: "No matter how good our brothers' relationship is, we can't treat them like this!" Otherwise, I, who am an elder brother, will have no face to see them again! ”
"Well, don't worry, sit down and talk." Zhu Yuanzhang took his arm, asked the prince to sit down, and said, "We didn't say that we would do it immediately." This matter will be discussed in two years, and it will be done, right? ”
"It's better not to talk about it." The prince said resolutely: "My younger brothers, I understand, they will not have two hearts for me. If they are domineering, I will teach them a lesson. If anyone dares to mess around, I will also call him back to the capital and mention his life. ”
"Even if I want to cut their power, I'll do it myself." Saying that, he smiled faintly, and said with strong confidence in his smile: "The matter between our brothers, my father doesn't have to worry about it." If I, Zhu Biao, can't even control my younger brother, I don't want to be a prince and inherit any country. ”
"Hahaha, well said!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Long Yan was happy, patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said, "This is our good prince!" ”
In fact, Boss Zhu said that he wanted to 'reduce the power of the vassal king', but he was not willing. But he didn't want to be estranged from the prince, so that the prince felt that he didn't think about him, so he said that.
Now seeing Zhu Biao's face like a peaceful lake with thunder in his chest, Zhu Yuanzhang is completely relieved.
I still underestimated my own boss.
"But we'll have to warn you." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "You can't ignore this problem too much. With us here, with you, it's easy to say anything, and no one can turn it over. But you have to think about it, what about your son? Will his uncle bow down to him as he does to you? ”
"I've found a good helper for Xiongying." Zhu Biao also said in a low voice.
"Sixth?" Zhu Yuanzhang guessed it at once, and after thinking for a moment, Fang slowly nodded and said, "He is indeed the most suitable." ”
"What's wrong with the sixth?" At this time, Queen Ma came in with a steaming soup noodle basin, and said vigilantly: "Zhu Chongba, are you going to let the sixth child go on an adventure again?" ”
"We didn't say it." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted and said: "When we mention our sons, do you want to push them into the fire pit?" Who do you think we are? Believe me or not, ask the boss. ”
"Queen Mother, it's really not, it's the sixth child I mentioned." The prince relieved Zhu Yuanzhang, and he ate the second bowl of noodles.
