Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 26 Lao Zhu: Our fifth brother is promising
  "What, he lost our son?!"

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was thundering and furious, "How dare he, we gave our son to him, and this is what he replied to us?"

Zhu Biao advised from the side: "Dad, the dragon body is important, don't get angry. Uncle Xu has led many soldiers for so many years, he must not have done it on purpose. Besides, Lao Wu has always been lucky and nothing will happen to him."

"What do you mean it was not intentional? Nothing has happened to the son we have raised for more than ten years. How can we get away with it without him saying it was not intentional?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked at his eldest son, whom he always loved, "Biao'er, tell us, didn't you already know about this?"

Zhu Biao was stunned by the fierce look. He opened his mouth to speak, but the words reached his throat but he couldn't get out.

This is true.

He had received the military report that King Wu was missing half a month ago, but he kept suppressing it and did not dare to report it to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao was still lucky at first. Maybe Lao Wu was just having fun and went back after walking around for two times. But until now Xu Da has not found the person, and he can no longer tolerate his illusions, so he can only report it to Lao Zhu honestly.

"Even you are lying to us!"

Lao Zhu was furious, "We gave you the power to supervise the country and let you take charge of the military and political affairs of the court, but you teamed up with these ministers to hide it from us and deceive us. You have let us down so much!"

Zhu Biao let out a long sigh, really not knowing what to say.

He looked to the other side and saw Queen Ma sitting at the table drinking tea calmly.

At this time, the only person who could persuade Lao Zhu was the empress, whose mother had always respected the world, but she refused to speak. Even though her eldest son was scolded by Lao Zhu, she didn't say much.

The father and son were talking about state affairs, and they were not allowed to interfere in politics in the back court. Empress Ma was a person with a clear stance and a rule-abiding person. Even if Lao Zhu wanted to remove Xu Da from his post at this time, she would not say anything more and would only When the couple are alone, state the pros and cons to Lao Zhu.

As a queen, you should distinguish between public and private affairs, put the interests of the court first, and your own emotions second.

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Biao'er, please put aside the matter of supervising the country for now. Go to Wenhua Hall to read these days. When you wake up, we will let you resume your duties."

He does love Zhu Biao, but that doesn't mean he will dote on him without any bottom line. What he wants to cultivate is an eternal wise king, and wise kings are not pampered.

What Zhu Biao did was indeed unreliable.

No matter what his reasons were, in Lao Zhu's opinion, the prince really needed to settle down a little more. When he was almost settled, he would then put himself on the stage to continue to supervise the country.

More importantly, Lao Zhu's long-premeditated murderous intention emerged, and he wanted to make drastic changes to the court. This rectification was destined to be bloody, and he didn't want Zhu Biao to be stained with blood.

Prince Zhu Biao lowered his head and said, "My son, I obey your orders."

Eunuch Yun Qi trotted over, holding a letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is delivering this to Yongping Mansion, urgent military information!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly shocked and pointed at Yun Qi: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you have to say. Is it related to our Lao Wu?"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that his father was really in a hurry.

Emergency military situation, either a great victory on the front line or a defeat. If Xu Da found Lao Wu, he should have reported it in a secret letter instead of using an official document.

Yunqi quickly opened the letter, picked out the important content and read aloud:
  "On the first day of July, His Highness King Wu led three battalions of cavalry with 2,000 men out of the pass to pursue the Yuan army."

"On July 20th, His Highness the King of Wu won a great victory in the Mobei grassland, defeated the Yuan army, and captured Chahan, the son of Kaiyuan King Nahachu, and Beiyuan general Nai'erbuhua. He beheaded 8,407 people and captured 24,000 More than a thousand people captured more than 29,000 war horses, and more than 70,000 cattle, sheep, and camels..." "Wei Guogong Xu Da, together with Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng and other generals, asked for merit for His Highness the King of Wu! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and so was Zhu Biao.

Queen Ma, who was calmly drinking tea, couldn't help but spit out a sip of tea, and looked at Yun Qi who was reciting the military report in disbelief.

What the hell?
  Is this something Lao Wu can do?

Lao Zhu's voice trembled: "Xu Da...is he lying about military information?"

"Yeah, there must be something wrong with this, right?" Zhu Biao also felt a bit ridiculous.

Who can understand King Wu better than these two!
  With King Wu's virtue, is this a battle he can fight?

Yun Qi whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, in addition to the seal of Wei Guogong, this military report also contains the general seals of more than a dozen generals, including Cao Guogong, Song Guogong and others. It is unlikely that there is any fraud."

What he wanted to express was obvious: Unless all the dozen or so senior generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, including Xu Da, had deceived the emperor or committed treason, this letter could not be forged.

If that were the case, it wouldn't matter whether the letter was fake or not.

More than a dozen senior generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army collectively committed treason. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was old, he had to personally go into battle to direct the defense of the capital!
  "In other words, our stupid son really fought a victory worthy of being recorded in history? Wait a moment, we have to slow down."

Zhu Yuanzhang slumped in his chair. Happiness came so suddenly and so violently that he suspected that he was dreaming for a moment.

Damn it, is our fifth child so capable?
  Prince Zhu Biao smiled brightly and said to Lao Zhu: "Congratulations to my father, Lao Wu's great victory in Mobei has silenced the ministers in the court who opposed the vassal king leaving the town, and proved my father's wisdom. Shenwu."

After Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded to the throne, he made all his sons kings one after another. The huge scale of these kings aroused opposition from his ministers.

They questioned whether Lao Zhu had lost his mind. By sending so many princes out to control the military and state power, were they not afraid of causing chaos among the feudal lords?
  To this day, some people still question the lord's policy of leaving the town.

But Zhu Tong's great victory in Mobei undoubtedly gave Lao Zhu great support.

look! How capable is our son? Now the fifth son of our family can beat the people of Beiyuan to the ground. When all our sons are defeated, the Ming Dynasty will not be as far away as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which covers thousands of miles?
  "Okay, Lao Wu is now very capable. We are happy that our son has finally grown up and knows how to support his father."

Lao Zhu said cheerfully, "Go and tell this news to the fourth child. Isn't he the best relationship with the fifth child? Motivate this kid and let him learn from the fifth child and give us a long face."

Prince Zhu Biao, who was originally very happy because his younger brother was successful, suddenly froze in place when he heard these words.

Lao Zhu frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the fourth child?"

Prince Zhu Biao swallowed: "Dad, I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen my fourth brother for a long time."

"The last time I saw my fourth brother, he said the last thing..."

Lao Zhu slapped the case and stood up: "What did he say?"

Zhu Biao hesitated and said: "He said he was looking for a brain..."
