Chapter 62
Zhu Yuanzhang's character is suspicious and suspicious.

It has a lot to do with his own liking.

In the words of later generations, he can be regarded as a reasoner.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared fiercely at his second child, Zhu Xi, and didn't speak, just watched carefully.

Zhu Xi didn't dare to look at his father, he couldn't help lowering his head slightly to avoid him because of his guilty conscience.

Even at this moment, he still imagined that this matter would not involve Mrs. Deng.

The emperor usually does not monitor the affairs in the mansion, and Zhu Xi also knows about this situation.

Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't talked with Zhu Ying about the Deng family, so he might not have any clues at this time.

But after chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang could easily think of it.

The only possibility to make his son lie to him is to keep that person.

In Prince Qin's mansion, the only person who can let his son go to protect him is Deng.

After thinking about it like this, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and scolded:

"Tell me, is it because you gave her the courage to break our jade pendant into pieces, and a mere concubine can make you forget your mother and your father!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand and the anger in his words.

Zhu Xi panicked all of a sudden, he couldn't even imagine why his father knew right away that this jade pendant was dropped by his second concubine Deng.

But suddenly he said that he instigated it and blamed it on himself.

So subconsciously retorted: "Father, how could my son do such a thing? It's all because Mrs. Deng didn't know that it was the jade pendant of the father, and thought it was a gift from the teahouse to make amends."

"Then I was a little anxious, and before my son could stop him, he fell like this."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand what his son was thinking.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the rage just now.

He just sneered and summoned Jiang Yu to enter.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Yu knelt down on one knee with no expression on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Deng Yu, Deng Yu, you have never thought that your famous name will be ruined by your own daughter."

After finishing speaking, he issued an order to Jiang Yu: "Pass down our decree, Deng Shi, the second concubine of the King of Qin, deceived the emperor, and lacked in virtue. I will give you a pot of poisoned wine for the whole face."

"The minister obeys the order!" After Jiang Yu got the order, he turned and left.

Zhu Xi, who was prostrate on the ground, was trembling, and swallowed several times, but dared not speak.

He didn't dare to plead for mercy.

After hesitating for a while, he said tremblingly, "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."

This is indeed a grace.

It is also Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion that although the second concubine Deng is a concubine, she can be regarded as a bit of her own family.

Maybe it's also a little bit of affection for Deng Yu.

In November of the tenth year of Hongwu, Deng Yu died of illness.

Zhu Yuanzhang cried when he heard the news, stopped going to court for three days, greeted the coffin in person, and made Deng Yu the king of Ninghe.

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally chose the cemetery, and buried Deng Yu in Yuhuatai, Nanjing. There are six pairs of stone Weng Zhongshi horses in front of the tomb, and pines and cypresses are everywhere on the mountain. It is forbidden to cut firewood and hunt.

He also ordered people to write Deng Yu's achievements into the "Record of Hongwu Heroes".

Zeng said: Youde has been with us for 22 years, conquering east and west, trying all kinds of hard work, guarding eight states, and doing nothing wrong.

He even wrote in his own handwriting: Tiansheng Yuanfu Xifu I am destined to Kyushu, tracing his meritorious deeds and deeds, no one can trace his merits, and he hangs awe-inspiring in scale and flows straight with Heyue.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to check some of Deng's misdeeds.

Dasun's words must not be false.

If you really want to settle the matter, it's not an exaggeration to flay them and put them to death.

A pot of poisoned wine can still get a whole corpse.

"You evil son, just kneel here and think about it for us, and you are not allowed to leave before dark."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi bitterly.

After speaking, he went out directly.

The reason why Zhu Yu was allowed to stay was because Zhu Yuanzhang took care of his son's mentality.

"My son obeys the order!" There was a trace of crying in Zhu Xi's voice.

"It seems that the Japanese pirates will attack the coast of Daming in the near future. This information is true."

In the yard, Zhu Ying was still checking information.

It was a unique piece of information that caught his attention.

This is overseas information obtained through overseas business.

What it tells is that the current war of Japanese pirates is coming to an end.

The current Wa Kingdom really belongs to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There were two emperors, the Southern and the Northern, at the same time, and each had their own inheritance.

As for when the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom will end, especially the history of the Wa Kingdom.

How could Zhu Ying remember these things.

It was just to collect information by the way when selling snowflake salt to Japan.

The current situation in Japan is that the Emperor Go Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty was defeated all the way, and the Emperor Go Komatsu of the Northern Dynasty has already gained an absolute advantage.

The feudal lords who were defeated in the war organized warriors, merchants, and ronin to prepare to carry out armed smuggling, robbery and harassment in the coastal areas of Daming.

"Boss, this information is already a month ago. I am afraid that the Japanese pirates may all start to cross the sea and come to Daming."

Zhang Bo said in a deep voice.

Zhang Bo also hated Japanese pirates very much.

As the Donghai Jurchen, that is, the savage Jurchen tribe, they often deal with Japanese pirates.

For the viciousness of the Japanese pirates, even children who are not as tall as a wheel, and pregnant women are not spared, and they hate it to the bone.

Even if they are called savages, they have no manners, justice and shame, and after defeating other enemies or tribes, they will not do such unconscionable things.

Zhu Ying's face gradually darkened.

"Notify the past immediately, mobilize all our forces in the coastal area, strictly guard against death, and make sure the Japanese pirates are not too arrogant."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang hesitated and said, "But Master, we don't have enough manpower in the coastal areas, I'm afraid."

Zhu Ying frowned deeply upon hearing this.

Of course he knew the situation in the coastal areas well.

Japanese pirates are one of the factors, and those smuggling sea merchants are also a big problem.

Collusion is the biggest cancer along the coast.

It was Daming's maritime ban that stopped it, otherwise the arrogance would be even more rampant.

It is not the first time that Zhu Ying has dealt with these smuggling sea merchants.

On the bright side, it is to cooperate with the snowflake salt business to help with sales.

There have been many bloody battles secretly, and Zhu Ying also lost a lot of people.

"We must find a way to make the court pay attention to this issue."

Zhu Ying began to think about countermeasures in her heart.

The impact this time is definitely more violent than before.

Affected by the maritime embargo, Daming could not get intelligence information, so he was completely defenseless against it.

When the incident broke out and the summons was sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously too late.

After thinking for a moment, the figure of the old man flashed through his mind.

"It seems that this matter can only rely on the identity of the old man."
