Chapter 96: Breath!
For Lan Yu, Zhu Xiongying deplored.
From the perspective of a later generation, Lan Yu is a rare general, Emperor Hongwu once compared him to Wei Qing and Li Jing, which shows his military ability, but his unruly and arrogant, after Zhu Biao's death, like a fierce horse that only Zhu Yuanzhang can control, in order for his descendants to sit firmly in the country, Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill him.
Is it wrong to kill?
From the perspective of an emperor who is about to reach the end of his life, of course, there is no mistake in killing.
It can only be said that it is a pity to kill!
Especially Zhu Xiongying stood in the position of the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, of course he wanted to retain such a talent.
However, if Lan Yu still did not repent after saying such things to himself, then he would choose to kill him like Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was by no means trying to scare Blue Jade.
A general who can't control himself and can't even listen to his own words will only make him more and more arrogant and will eventually become a scourge.
Instead of killing him after the relationship is deep, it is better to get rid of him in the morning!
"Uncle, nephew and grandson say one more thing, your merits, the imperial grandfather remembers, and no point is indispensable to you, but your mistakes, the imperial grandfather also remembers them word for word, how much the imperial grandfather cherishes you, how much he hates you!"
"You made the emperor's grandfather and his old man sad, sad that you let Liu Bowen say it again, arrogant soldiers, and endless troubles!"
"That master Jinshi looked down on you when he was alive, and when he died, he was still laughing at you! It's not that Grandpa Huang won't give you a chance, but you guys are fucking not angry! β
"Not only did you lose your own face, but you also lost the face of the emperor's grandfather!"
"Do you know why I said, 'If I ascend to power, I will be the first to kill you?' Because I don't want people to say thousands of years later when they are judging their merits and demerits, I, Zhu Xiongying, am the head of you bastards! β
"You can be shameless, but I Zhu Xiongying can't be shameless, you can be nameless, but I Zhu Xiongying can't be nameless!"
Zhu Xiongying's eyes were like knives, his tone was fierce, and he didn't give Lan Yu face at all, he just wanted to say everything thoroughly today.
After a few slashes on his head and face, Lan Yu's originally red face became even redder, and a pair of iron fists were also pinched and gurgling.
He and Liu Bowen are mortal enemies.
Because Liu Bowen once played to Zhu Yuanzhang, what he said was the arrogant general, and there will be endless troubles.
As Xu Da and others grew old, Lan Yu gradually became the leader of the generals, he thought that as long as Liu Bowen was not removed for a day, the military attachΓ©s would not have a good life, so he tried every means to kill Liu Bowen, and even wrote a letter to frame Liu Bowen for corruption and rebellion, disloyalty and injustice.
However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Lan Yu was thinking.
The reason why he tolerated Lan Yu was because the country was not completely stable now, and he still needed a general like Lan Yu, and he also wanted to use Lan Yu to contain Liu Bowen.
Of course Lan Yu didn't think about it so much, he always thought that he had a lot of credit, and Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't move him.
But the words of the emperor's eldest grandson just now really frightened him.
Once in power, the first person to kill is him Lanyu.
He could feel the determination in the words of the emperor's eldest grandson.
When he came, he was thinking about how to maintain the emperor's eldest grandson in the future, but he didn't expect that the emperor's eldest grandson not only didn't need his own maintenance, but he was also afraid that he would tarnish his future holy name.
Lan Yu had never thought about this from this angle.
But anyone who has survived a hundred battles has a disregard for life in their bones.
Because they have seen too many dead people, on the battlefield, people are like ants, and life is like grass mustard, but it is just a matter of going down with a knife, and before you go to the battlefield, you have to be prepared to die, because you don't know if you can come back alive or not.
So when they return to the peaceful and prosperous world, they must enjoy themselves to the fullest, otherwise how can they be worthy of the madness on the battlefield?
Their emotions, this kind of psychology, are beyond the speculation and understanding of the scholars.
With the wisdom of Lanyu on the battlefield, don't they know what is law-abiding and morality?
Of course they know, but in their eyes, life is a ball, and they still talk about law-abiding and morality.
So when you tell them this, how will they listen?
However, what Zhu Xiongying didn't expect was that in his words just now, what really touched Lan Yu was not that the superior was going to kill him.
A person like Lan Yu is not afraid of death at all.
This is also why Emperor Hongwu had to peel the skin and grass when he killed him, because he couldn't see Lan Yu's appearance of being afraid of death, killing his head was too easy for Lan Yu, he just wanted Lan Yu to be afraid.
So if Zhu Xiongying said that he wanted to kill him, Lan Yu was not afraid at all.
The reason why he was silent and thought about it was entirely because of Zhu Xiongying's later sentence.
Oh, yes!
Our nephew is going to be a Saint Monarch of the Ages in the future.
Just like the nephew said, we can just be famous, but the nephew can't, we can't drag the nephew back!
Otherwise, our uncle, is really damned!
Looking at the thinking Lan Yu, Zhu Xiongying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, what should be said and what should not be said, my nephew and grandson have said it, these words, my nephew and grandson will only say them once, what to do, you can make your own choice." β
I didn't want Lan Yu to hesitate, but without the slightest hesitation, he stood up and said to Zhu Xiongying: "Your Highness, please ask the minister how to do it, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" β
Lan Yu's attitude changed so quickly that Zhu Xiongying was secretly a little surprised in his heart, but he still said quietly: "The Wanshou Festival is coming, didn't the imperial grandfather let the officials above the third grade have a performance, and look back at the merits and deeds of following the imperial grandfather over the years?" β
"This is a good opportunity, you take this opportunity to reflect on the mistakes of these years in the recital, remember, you must be sincere and detailed."
"At the same time, spit out all the fields you have occupied, and the tenants will be dismissed one by one."
"Especially your righteous sons, who are lawless and misbehaving on weekdays, are all handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review, but all those who violate the law and discipline will be punished according to law!"
"The lieutenant generals in the army must consult the imperial court for their promotion and retreat, and the emperor's grandfather will decide, and they can no longer be controlled privately!"
"By the way, and your nine-zhang long dragon boat, deal with it immediately!"
"In short, in terms of performance, I sincerely ask the imperial grandfather for the guilt, listen to the emperor's grandfather's fate, and promise to abide by the law in the future, eat and enjoy peace!"
After saying it in one breath, Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Yu and said slowly: "Uncle, do you have any opinions?" β
"The minister has no objection, and the minister will do it!"
Lan Yu's expression was serious and respectful, and he replied loudly.
So smooth?
Zhu Xiongying was secretly a little surprised in his heart.
However, he didn't dig deeper, since Lan Yu agreed, I hope he can do it.
After all, sapphire is famous for going in and out of the left ear.
If he couldn't get out of this room, Lan Yu would throw what he had just said out of the clouds.
But since he agreed, tonight's beating has served its purpose.
If he still insists on dying, then there is nothing he can do.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softened a lot, and said, "Uncle, don't stand, sit down quickly." β
"Your Highness!"
Lan Yu answered, and sat down, without a trace of annoyance on his face.
On the contrary, Lan Yu showed a relieved smile, looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said, "Your Highness, the minister remembers that the last time the minister saw you, you were only so old. Saying that, Lan Yu gestured, "Your Highness has really grown up, and you are taller than your ministers!" β
Lan Yu's eyes made no secret of his love.
That gaze hit the soft place in Zhu Xiongying's heart.
I have a thunderous ear for this uncle, but I don't have too many feelings.
But at that moment just now, he understood why his father Zhu Biao repeatedly defended Lan Yu, except for his in-laws, Lan Yu's iron-blooded love and sincerity were really exciting.
From the time she entered the house to the present, Lan Yu has always loved and cared for her aggressive junior.
It can be seen how much affection he had for Zhu Biao at the beginning.
However, thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying didn't show too much emotion, because he didn't want his efforts just now to be ruined because of a moment of soft-heartedness.
He also understands a little that the old man taught him that for the courtiers, he can't not give it, but he can't give too much, he must take it, otherwise they don't know how to cherish it, and the feelings are the same, no wonder the emperors of the ages are all lonely.
"Uncle, what I said just now was a bit radical, but it was all the heartfelt words of my nephew and grandson, and I hope my uncle can remember it in my heart."
"I understand."
Lan Yu smiled and nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, there is a sentence, and the minister also wants to remind you." β
"Say." Zhu Xiongying spoke.
Lan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Your fourth uncle, King Yan, you haven't seen him yet, have you?" β
"I haven't seen it yet."
Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But it should be soon." β
Lan Yu nodded, and said slowly: "King Yan, I have traveled with me to Mobei twice, when I was in Beiping, I observed his fiefdom, and his every move was exactly the same as the emperor's. β
As he spoke, Lan Yu lowered his voice very low: "King Yan is not an ordinary person, sooner or later he will be opposed, the minister has found someone to look at him, there is a heavenly atmosphere, you must be careful!" β
"The minister said this to your father, today, the minister wants to remind His Highness again, don't take it lightly."
Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying touched his chin, thoughtful, and a vague figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Fourth Uncle Yan Wang?
I'd love to see you for a while......
β¦β¦
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with a day's government affairs, it was late at night, and he was drinking the meat porridge prepared by the dining room alone.
At this time, Jiang Zhen came in.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, and said, "Say it." β
Jiang Zhen hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, after Lan Yu Lan Hai and the others left the celebration banquet, they went to Lan Yu's nine-zhang dragon boat on the Qinhuai River, drank and vented their anger, and were so drunk that they were in a mess. β
Zhu Yuanzhang chewed the meat foam in the porridge and asked, "What are they angry about?" β
Jiang Xuan hurriedly poured beans like a bamboo tube, and reported 1510.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened while continuing to drink porridge.
It was as if Lan Yu's words were not unexpected by him.
ββ¦β¦ Later, after dispersing, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson invited Lan Yu alone. β
"Oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bowl in his hand, picked up a baked cake and put it in his mouth, revealing a curious look: "What did you say?" Tell us word for word. β
Jiang Zheng began to pour the beans again.
ββ¦β¦ His Royal Highness the eldest grandson said, if you still don't repent, even if the imperial grandfather doesn't kill you, if I take the throne, the first one to kill is you! β
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a smile and said, "Heh, come out!" He thought he would scare Lan Yu out of this? β
"What else?"
Jiang Zhen continued to report word for word.
Zhu Yuanzhang was chewing the baked cake with a smile on his face, and listened with interest.
ββ¦β¦ Later, Lan Yu agreed, saying that she would do it! β
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the hand of the baked cake for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "Lan Yu agreed?" β
Jiang Zhen replied respectfully: "Yes! β
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he said to himself: "Lan Yu, Lan Yu, you are really good to our eldest grandson, as soon as our eldest grandson said that he was afraid that you would tarnish his holy name in the future, you agreed?" β
"Huh-"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly: "Then why aren't you afraid of tarnishing our holy name?" Out of breath! β
