This rebellion in Shu was different from the past.

Zhu Chun's elite has been exhausted, and he is unable to quell the rebellion on his own, so it is inevitable that the imperial court will send troops to support. But who will be sent?

On the Nanjing Chengtian Palace, Lan Yu knelt on the ground, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair with firm eyes, and said nothing, with a resolute attitude.

Everyone understands the meaning of Lan Yu's kneeling, but everyone doesn't speak, everything still depends on the emperor's meaning.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the blue jade under the golden steps, and his expression was in a trance.

Lan Yu is not young now, two out of fifty, but he has always been physically tough, with rice and rice, and a bow of five quintals. Perhaps because of the lack of attention in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that he didn't know when Lan Yu changed from a tall and burly general and generalissimo to a pale and depressed little old man.

It seems that the disappearance of his son has really hit him too hard. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Lan Chun's disappearance was arranged by Lan Yu himself, but the investigation of Jin Yiwei and the inspection school and Lan Yu's state at this moment made him finally completely put away his inner suspicions.

The purpose of Lan Yu's request for life today is actually not difficult to guess, he wants to lead his troops to Sichuan to quell the rebellion and find the White Lotus Sect for revenge.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as Lan Chun's former good brother, should agree to his request, but as an emperor, he can't.

What if the other party threatened with his son's life? After all, Lan Chun's life and death were not yet known. ’

"Or maybe Lan Yu embraces his own troops and exterminates the White Lotus bandits without destroying them?"

"Or maybe Lan Yu simply took advantage of the situation to rebel?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has a ghost in his heart, so naturally he will no longer unconditionally believe in Lan Yu's loyalty as before.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Blue jade." ”

"Your Majesty. Lan Yu's voice was a little hoarse.

"You're not in good health, so don't go. Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little guilty, but he still insisted on looking at Lan Yu. I am the Son of Heaven, even if I am wrong, I will be wrong to the end.

"Your Majesty!" Lan Yu's head slammed to the ground, tears streaming from her eyes.

This worship is not a courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but the submission of his blue jade and the final plea.

But how can these impress Zhu Yuanzhang's iron-clad heart!

"Peace!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a young man among the ministers.

"The minister is here. "Come out of the column and bow safely.

"You lead an army of 50,000, prepare tomorrow, and rush to the CD Mansion to support the King of Shu and help him quell the rebellion. ”

"Yes. Ping An replied respectfully.

"Xiao Xuewen, Li Guihe. ”

"The Minister"

"Food, salary, ordnance and other materials should be handed over to the safe escort. ”

"Yes. ”

"Retreat from the dynasty, Yunwen will come with me. I have something to say to you. Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked towards the harem.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then retreated one after another.

"Get up. Song Guogong Feng Sheng looked at his old friend Lan Yu on the ground with a complicated expression, and didn't know what to say.

'Zhu Yuanzhang!' Lan Yu got up slowly, snorted suddenly, then reached out to wipe the tears from his face, and walked out without saying a word. The tall figure, the resolute pace, the blue jade that crisscrossed the field back then, at this moment, to be precise, it was the moment when Zhu Yuanzhang rejected his plea!

"Don't do anything stupid. Feng Sheng muttered, "No one will follow you." ”

The grandfather and grandson came out of the golden palace, Zhu Yunwen supported Zhu Yuanzhang and walked aimlessly in the palace, Lao Zhang led the eunuch of the palace to follow from afar, there was no one around, Zhu Yuanzhang put away the majesty of the Son of Heaven in front of his beloved grandson, between the words, there was only the care of the elders, and the kind of 。。。。。 as the emperor's grandfather Worry.

"Emperor, Imperial Grandfather. Zhu Yunwen said weakly: "Grandson... Grandchild... ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen with some amusement: "I'm your grandfather, is there anything else we can't say?"

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said, "Did your grandson do something wrong?"

"Alas. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I can't blame you entirely." ”

The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen is now much closer because of Xu Ruyi earlier. Although Zhu Yunwen is still a little afraid of his imperial grandfather, he can already try to understand him, and some words are not always held in his heart like before.

In order to allow Zhu Yunwen to adapt to the affairs of the court as soon as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him to go to the court with him every day to listen to the government. These have also been introduced before, but the most critical point is that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately allowed Zhu Yunwen to properly cultivate his own power in the court, and he didn't have to report to himself in advance.

It is precisely because of this premise that Zhu Yunwen asked Huang Zicheng to impeach Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not get any news in advance.

"You. Still too young. Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, casually pointed to a big tree not far away, and asked, "If grandpa gives you an axe and asks you to cut down that big tree, where should you cut it first?"

"This... Zhu Yunwen looked at the tree, pondered for a moment, and tried to reply, "Of course, cut the main trunk first." ”

"That's right, you should cut the main trunk first!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was long. It's a pity that looking at Zhu Yunwen's ignorant appearance, he obviously didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"I'm also confused, playing dumb riddles with my grandson. Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Grandpa knows that in your heart, you are always not at ease with your uncles, you want to cut the domain, right." ”

"Yes" Zhu Yunwen replied honestly, what is there to hide from his imperial grandfather.

"For me, cutting the feudal domain is just a matter of thought. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were wide-eyed: "I am the emperor, and I have laid down this great river and mountain and established the Hongwu Emperor of my Zhu Ming Dynasty." Your uncles who are vassal kings, to put it bluntly, are only my sons and courtiers. As long as I make a will, the feudal towns of the world will naturally be gone. ”

"Then grandpa, you... Zhu Yunwen didn't finish his words, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang: "But I ask you, you are not at ease with your uncles, so who are you at ease with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"This... Zhu Yunwen was stunned, thought for a long time, and didn't have a choice in his heart.

"This is also my helplessness. Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward slowly, and sighed in his mouth: "The power of the vassal king is too great, and all I can do is limit it as much as possible, and even deliberately arrange some enemies for them to check and balance, otherwise, the year before last, Lan Yu went to Mongolia, and I would have let him kill all the Yuan people directly, instead of leaving a trace of vitality." If the feudal towns are really abolished, who will you let me hand over the vacated official positions and rights?"
