Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 220 Old Zhu is here, Zhu Biao is at ease in his heart

The red afterglow sprinkled on the walls of Jinling City, and also put on a coat for each of the thousands of subjects outside Jinling City.

When a golden flag protruded from a large flag in the distance, the team of thousands of people all bowed down.

The sound of rites and music, and the sound of drums.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is back.

"My son (subject) welcomes His Majesty the Emperor back to Beijing, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Amidst the loud and clear lyrics, a luxurious and spacious Kowloon car stopped slowly, and Baoxiang, the chief eunuch of the imperial department, stepped out of the car.

Looking around, screaming.

"Please get on the car, the prince. All the ministers will return to their shifts. Tomorrow will be the court."

Zhu Biao, who stood respectfully at the head of the ranks of hundreds of officials, came out until he boarded the driver's seat. Behind him were civil and military officials who retreated three steps in unison.

Chen Yunfu, the head of the civil servants, and Xu Huizu, the head of the military generals, each led a group to follow Zhu Yuanzhang and turn back to the city.

"My son kowtowed to the father, the emperor, and bowed to Jin'an."

Zhu Biao prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and then got up: "Father's complexion is really getting better and better, it's really a blessing for my great Ming."

"Biao'er, come and sit down."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to his side, and only after Zhu Biao sat down did he smile with satisfaction on his face. He took Zhu Biao's hand and couldn't help boasting: "My son is now a seven-point emperor. We are very relieved. Very good."

"It's all taught by the emperor."

"We're not in Beijing this year, so what happened in Beijing and China?" Zhu Yuanzhang said he was asking a question, but before Zhu Biao could speak, he continued, "We heard that the fourth son came back from Beiping. yes?"

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded, and told the truth without concealment: "The fourth younger brother came back this time to ask the minister to withdraw his vassal."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and only asked: "Then what do you mean, withdraw or not?"

"It has only been a few years since the Northern Territory was pacified, and it is still inseparable from the fourth child for the time being. My minister plans to keep the domains of the third, fourth and sixth sons first."

"It's really good that you can have this kind of consideration."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, expressing satisfaction: "Although the vassals may or may not be withdrawn, our Ming Dynasty is not peaceful now. The third, fourth, and sixth are all outstanding people, who have the ability to guard one side and open up territories. It was indeed a waste for Fan to return to Beijing.

Wait a few more years, wait a few years for the chieftains in Guizhou and Huguang to be completely pacified, and the achievements in Liaodong are becoming more and more remarkable before withdrawing the domain, so that your country will be completely stable.

Yes, we almost forgot that it is all thanks to Chen Yunfu that the two provinces of Hubei and Guizhou led Liaodong to the situation it is in today. "

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, and seeing that the latter was silent, he asked curiously.

"What? Is there something on my mind, my son?"

"Ah, no."

Zhu Biao shook his head, then took Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and praised Chen Yunfu.

The latter also smiled and nodded frequently, and then asked how the preparations for the Winter Solstice Abdication Ceremony were going.

"Most of the preparations have been made for returning to the royal father. The son-in-law is about to order Ren Hengtai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to be the officiant officer of the abdication ceremony. Now that the royal father is back, it is up to the royal father to make the decision."

"What do we decide? You can make up your own mind. Now we just want to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

Zhu Yuanzhang said leisurely and complacently: "As soon as the abdication ceremony is over, we will take all the people and things related to us in the palace to the palace, so as not to obstruct your eyes here, so as to save you from looking at us."

"I hope that my father can stay in Jinling. If you are not here, I don't have the confidence in my heart."

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was even stronger.

"Why don't you have the confidence, let's listen to it, although we are old, but we are not old-fashioned, what is it that we, a father, can still check for you."

Zhu Biao's lips moved several times, but finally he shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing Zhu Biao like this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily, and pointed to Baoxiang who was standing beside the former and said.

"See, my son is becoming more and more like an emperor."

"The emperor should be like this. He must be able to hide things in his heart, and he must be able to calm down on his face. Although you can hide things now, you still can't calm down on your face. It's not your fault. After all these years You have never dealt with such a difficult matter before."

Zhu Biao raised his head in astonishment and said, "Your father knows?"

"Anything in this world, as long as we want to know, we must know better than you."

The gentle smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was replaced by seriousness at this moment. He pierced and said: "The fourth child, Chen Yunfu and Qi De, you don't know which of the three you should trust now, do you?"

There was a hint of horror in Zhu Biao's eyes, and then he suddenly realized.

"Don't blame anyone, because we are still alive."

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder, and then continued: "Don't believe any of the three of them, even if the fourth brother is your own brother, don't believe it, because you are going to be the emperor, and a new dynasty will be established. Seizing power is an inevitable thing, and the fourth child took the initiative to withdraw the feudal domain to protect himself.

As for Chen Yunfu, he should just want to prove to you that he is not in love with power, so he offered to hand over Liaodong to the fourth authority. "

"Qide suspects that Yunfu and the fourth child are suspected of secretly communicating with each other."

"What ignorant words." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud with a snort, full of disdain for Na Qi De's ignorance and stupidity.

"Don't talk about the relationship between that boy Chen Yunfu and you, just say a little bit, what can he do now that he is going to run to the fourth child more easily? After you ascend the throne, he will be the first minister of the new dynasty. With you in the future, Sooner or later, the position of the Duke of the State will be found, and he and the fourth brother have secretly communicated with each other. Is it possible that the fourth child can still have the ability to rebel against you?

Let's say he caused a rebellion, what can he do for Chen Yunfu?Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Yunfu to have any friendship with the fourth child. Qi De said this with sinister intentions to make you suspect Chen Yunfu so that he can make room for him.

However, since Chen Yunfu took the initiative to let Liaodong belong to the fourth child, it shows that he has a bit of a brain and knows that holding Liaodong in his hands is the root of disaster for himself.

We have also heard about the case of selling slaves in Liaodong this time. Liaodong is too big and has too few officials. Once the supervision is not in place, no matter how bad the case is, it will not be surprising. If Chen Yunfu continues to recommend officials to take up positions in Liaodong, in the future Inevitably there will be times when you get burned. "

With the help of his father's insightful eyes to analyze, Zhu Biaodun had a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds, and his thinking became much clearer immediately, and after this enlightenment, he gritted his teeth.

"Nazide is so disgusting."

"He is stupid and narrow-minded, but he can help you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Because of their ignorance, they can be loyal eagle dogs. You don't care about these three people for the time being. Let's talk to them."

"Yes."

With Zhu Yuanzhang personally coming out to escort the abdication, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until this time that Zhu Biao realized that he was really at ease when his own father was around!
