Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 439: Don’t let Ouyang Lun know and ask for his help (please subscribe!!)
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bored, so he stood up immediately and stood up from the dragon chair, "I've finished processing the memorials, why is it still so early? It's not even noon yet!"

"In order to train His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty asked all civil and military officials to send memorials to His Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, you will have fewer memorial affairs here. This is a good thing! You can get more rest!" Wang Zhong said quickly.

"It's really easy for me to let Biao'er do most of the memorials and affairs, but now that I'm free, I feel uncomfortable all over again. Haha, Wang Zhong, do you think I'm a bitch?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. road.

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of Heaven. He is extremely noble. How could he be..." Wang Zhong did not say the words "cheap guy".

"Well, if there is nothing else to do after a while, then I will go to Kunning Palace to dance with the Queen Square and just relax." Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly.

At this moment, Zhu Biao walked in directly from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"My son, Zhu Biao, has met my father!"

"Biao'er, why are you here at this time? Aren't you working and studying in the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Faced with Zhu Biao's sudden behavior, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a little curious.

"Go back to my father, I have something important to report to my father!" Zhu Biao said with a serious face.

"Important things? Tell me!" Zhu Yuanzhang actually said excitedly and came to see him if he had something to do. This shows that he can get busy!
Zhu Biao did not speak immediately, but looked at Wang Zhong, who immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, Prince, I retire!"

After saying that, Wang Zhong immediately left with the other eunuchs and maids. In the blink of an eye, only Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Biao'er, it's just you and me and my son here now. If you have any explanation, just tell me."

"Father, you should know that my son has been at the Ministry of Household Affairs recently, learning chart statistics from brother-in-law Ouyang." After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao slowly spoke.

"Of course we know this." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly, "Biao'er, have you discovered something?"

"Yes, Father." Zhu Biao's face became more and more serious, "I drew a few charts today according to the chart statistics method, and I asked Father to take a look."

After speaking, Zhu Biao handed a stack of paper to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished the stack of papers, he began to look at them carefully. With Zhu Biao's explanation yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang was not completely ignorant of the charts now. As Zhu Yuanzhang read the charts in his hand one by one, his brows also wrinkled. .

"Biao'er, show us these charts. What do you want to say?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had some vague guesses in his mind after reading these charts, he still planned to ask clearly before talking.

"It seems that my father has seen something." Zhu Biao took a deep breath, "By drawing these charts, I discovered that among the several vassal fiefdoms in the Ming Dynasty, two fiefdoms had abnormal data. The growth of these three items, iron ore and horses, far exceeds the average level of the entire Ming Dynasty and other fiefdoms!”

"That's why I am suspicious."

"You suspect that someone is going to rebel!? And this is our son??"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice before Zhu Biao finished speaking.

"Father, I am just a little skeptical. After all, the analysis chart is right in front of us. However, there may be a misunderstanding here. Please don't worry too much, Father!"

"Father, please give me some time. I will investigate the matter clearly!"

The reason why Zhu Biao came to tell Zhu Yuanzhang first instead of telling Zhu Yuanzhang after investigating was mainly because he was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would misunderstand.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak. He sat on the dragon chair with his head slightly lowered, seeming to be thinking about something. Seeing this, Zhu Biao did not dare to speak anymore, but chose to wait.

Is his son really going to rebel?

Zhu Yuanzhang's first thought was not to believe it.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew the power of this chart and statistics. The large-scale increase in the three commodities of food, iron ore, and horses was really hard for people not to think about that.

"Is it because of the clan reform carried out by the clan mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"This" Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said: "The reform of the clan. It makes the worship of clan children no longer a burden to the Ming Dynasty, and also allows the vassal king to deeply participate in the construction of the fiefdom. This is of course a good thing."

"But it will also make some bastards have other ideas!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "We should have thought of this a long time ago, bastard Ouyang Lun!"

"Father, does this have nothing to do with brother-in-law Ouyang?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

"How could it be okay?!" Zhu Yuanzhang retorted: "If he hadn't carried out this kind of clan reform, our sons would have no chance to rebel, and they wouldn't have the capital to rebel!"

Snapped--!
Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the chart in his hand on the desk, "This is the chart you compiled. This is the evidence!"

"Hmph! If those two traitors really want to rebel, we have to kill Ouyang Lun first!"

"If we had known this, we should have been more cautious at the beginning, otherwise we would not have this problem today."

"Father, I think this matter is just a matter of suspicion and has not been confirmed yet. The reason why I came to tell you is that I hope you can give me some time to investigate and investigate the matter clearly! I still feel that there is something wrong with this matter. It's a misunderstanding!" Zhu Biao said bravely.

He never expected that Ouyang Lun would be involved in this matter.

"In addition, I also feel that this matter should not be made public and should be carried out secretly. If this matter is a misunderstanding, it will not affect anyone. If there is really a problem with this matter, there is still time to think of countermeasures and try our best to solve the matter. influence to a minimum.”

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought again.

Are you angry? Of course I'm angry!

It is actually possible for his son to rebel against him. If this was true, wouldn't it be a disgrace to his grandma's family?
After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that Zhu Biao was right.

"Hmph! These two bastards, Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan, no, three bastards, including Ouyang Lun! I really want to catch these three guys right now, kneel down in front of me, and interrogate them! "

"But Biaoerqi is right. This matter is not a glorious matter. We should investigate it first before talking about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself.

"Yes, Father." Zhu Biao nodded.

"By the way, does Ouyang Lun know these charts?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice. "Back to my father, I didn't give these drawings to Ouyang's brother-in-law, and he didn't seem to be interested in them." Zhu Biao replied, "I thought that Ouyang's brother-in-law didn't know about this."

"You said that he is not interested in this matter. We believe this, but you say that he has no knowledge of this matter, we don't believe it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Ouyang Lun, this guy has 800 tricks, even better than us There are a lot of them. The more I say this, the more I wonder if this guy is teaching you how to use charts because he wants you to analyze them!"

"In this way, not only will this matter be made known to us, but you will also be able to pick it out yourself!"

"Father, this should be impossible. If brother-in-law Ouyang can calculate this step by step with such accuracy, it would be so terrifying." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, although Zhu Biao found it a bit unbelievable, he actually believed it. possibility.

"It's better to believe that he exists than to believe that he doesn't exist. Ever since we met him, especially when we met him in Kaiping County, Ouyang Lun has had an evil streak in him. Many unreasonable things have changed when he was exposed to them. It's very reasonable. Although we have no evidence about this, we have to guard against it." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Biao'er, especially you!"

"Sir?"

"Yes, this guy Ouyang Lun dares to fool even us. Now that you are studying with him in the Ministry of Household Affairs, it will be easier to be fooled. Biaoer, you must be more discerning." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the dynasty he had worked so hard to cultivate. The heir is mature, capable, intelligent and even majestic. He is the perfect heir in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. However, once compared with Ouyang Lun, Zhu Biao always feels like a fool.

Extremely worried that Zhu Biao will be deceived by Ouyang Lun.

"Father, please don't worry. My son and brother-in-law Ouyang have always been getting along very happily. He will not harm my son."

"Of course, I will also remember my father's teachings and be more careful!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Well, as long as you understand!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "I will leave it to you to investigate the "rebellion" of these two bastards Zhu Fan and Zhu Ning. We must get the results as soon as possible before we can investigate the matter clearly. Zhu Fan, Zhu Ning and Ouyang Lun must not be informed of this matter before, so as not to alert the enemy. "

"Yes, Father!" Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not make an immediate decision and gave him full authority to investigate, Zhu Biao was still very happy. "Father, don't blame Ouyang's brother-in-law. The imperial court had to provide money to support the children of the clan. If no changes are made, the cost of raising the clan’s children will overwhelm Ming Dynasty in the future!”

"With the implementation of the clan reform led by brother-in-law Ouyang, this problem has been completely solved. The shortcomings of the reform have good sides, and naturally they also have bad sides. They cannot all be good."

"In addition, I just thought about it again. The food, iron ore, and horse resources in the fiefdom of the two younger brothers Zhu Fan and Zhu Ning have increased significantly. Even if they are really rebelling, they may be bewitched by treacherous people. The two younger brothers themselves will definitely not Will do such a thing!"

"My son, I believe that my old Zhu family will never kill brothers!"

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite moved. He stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Zhu Biao, stretched out his broad and wrinkled hand and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder.

"Well done, Biao'er! We really didn't misjudge you!"

"The third and seventh children are lucky to have a big brother like you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

Other emperors were worried that their sons would fight each other for the throne, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not too worried about this, because as the eldest, Zhu Biao was very tolerant and caring towards his younger brothers and sisters. After Zhu Biao came to the throne in the future, he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang's other Sons and daughters can also live a good life.

"Father, you are overly complimentary."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, but he really didn't want anything to happen to the two brothers Zhu Fan and Zhu Ning.

"Father, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Zhu Biao was about to leave from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and immediately started investigating the matter.

"Hmm, wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Biao.

"Father, is there anything else?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Biao'er, let's think about it for a while. How do you think Ouyang Lun would handle this matter if he knew about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Back to my father, I have never thought about this."

Zhu Biao had no intention of involving Ouyang Lun from the beginning, so he never thought about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Biao'er, we know that you have a good relationship with that boy Ouyang Lun, but feelings are feelings. After all, you are the prince and the future king of the Ming Dynasty. You have to think more comprehensively about some things!"

"Think carefully now, what would you do if you were Ouyang Lun! Although Ouyang Lun is evil, his brain is really useful. We have wanted to cut open Ouyang Lun's head many times. Look, the structure inside is different from ordinary people!"

"It's my father." Zhu Biao nodded and began to think. After a while, Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Father, I really can't guess how brother-in-law Ouyang will handle this matter. After all, he solves the problem every time. The methods are surprising.”

"Father, please calm down."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and sighed, "Why don't you be angry? I'm not angry at all, let alone you. Even I can't guess how Ouyang Lun will deal with it."

"If my father wants to hear brother-in-law Ouyang's opinion, why not call brother-in-law Ouyang over and ask him personally?" Zhu Biao suggested.

Although Zhu Biao didn't want Ouyang Lun to get involved, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do without Ouyang Lun, he could only take the initiative to bring it up.

"Stop! Call this guy over and tell him about the possible rebellion of Zhu Fan and Zhu Ning, the two bastard sons. Doesn't that give Ouyang Lun a chance to laugh at us? We won't do that kind of stupid thing!" Zhu Yuanzhang He immediately waved his hand.

"Father is wise!" Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to want to call Ouyang Lun, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

But before Zhu Biao could completely relax, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

"Although we can't tell Ouyang Lun the real thing, we can change it and make up a story!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said with a smile, as if he had thought of a solution.

"Change your appearance and make up a story? Father, what do you mean by this? I don't understand very well!" Zhu Biao was worried again and asked quickly.

"Hey, you'll find out later!" Zhu Yuanzhang showed a mysterious smile, and then said loudly to the outside of the hall: "Here comes someone!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Wang Zhong walked in from outside the palace.

"Go and call Ouyang Lun to me and tell him that I have urgent matters to call him. If he doesn't come, I will send people to harass him every day!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Yes!" Wang Zhong handed over his hand, "I will go and invite Ouyang's consort here."

"Father, don't you want brother-in-law Ouyang to know about this?" Zhu Biao was a little confused.

"Hey, didn't we say it before? We have a way to prevent Ouyang Lun from knowing about it, and at the same time, let Ouyang Lun give us advice!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with confidence.
