Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 189 Zhu Di: Is my master my grandfather?
Zhu Biao left the Wenhua Palace and returned to the East Palace.

Not long after he left, Hu Weiyong came in a hurry. When he came back from the academy, he first went to see Prime Minister Li Shanchang and told him what happened in the academy. Li Shanchang asked him to come directly to the emperor to explain that Fourth Master Zhu bribed Yang Xian, and to point out the prince's obstruction of arresting Fourth Master Zhu in the academy. The emperor hates official corruption most and will definitely punish it severely.

"See your Majesty." Hu Weiyong bowed, "I was ordered to interrogate Yang Xian, and the results were obtained."

"He did it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"He confessed to all his crimes before he was even tried. He cried bitterly and begged your Majesty to spare his life." Hu Weiyong's eyes were filled with sarcasm.

"You idiot! You don't have the slightest bit of magnanimity like Zhongshu Zuo Cheng. We were really blind at the time, thinking that he had the talent of a prime minister." Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "Listen, cut him into pieces with a thousand knives and quarter him into five pieces. "

"I obey the decree!" Hu Weiyong was secretly happy.

After the arrogant Yang Xian died, Li Shanchang, his mentor, had the final say in Zhongshu Province. As a political advisor in Zhongshu Province, he himself had the opportunity to make further progress.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xian also admitted that Fourth Master Zhu had bribed him." Hu Weiyong continued to report, "I took the police from the Ministry of Punishment to the academy to get Fourth Master Zhu, but... I was kicked out by His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and came to Hu Weiyong step by step: "Who asked you to take Fourth Master Zhu's?"

"You have become a leader now. You have become the leader of the Zhaotian Gang. You rarely come back to the palace, let alone my East Palace." Zhu Biao glared at him pretending to be angry.

"Chen...chen..." Hu Weiyong felt a suffocating pressure.

Zhu Di smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Brother, I'm not doing this just to learn my skills, so that I can better assist you in the future."

……

As he spoke, he stood up. Zhu Biao quickly grabbed him and glared: "Stop! Fourth, why are you still so irritable? You are learning from grandpa, so you should also learn from his poise."

"Haha, you are getting better and better at talking." Zhu Biao shook his head angrily, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Whoever wants to get Fourth Master Zhu in the future, we will slap him to death." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"Grandpa? What grandpa?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao with confusion.

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became furious: "What? How dare they arrest my master? I'm going to chop up the guy named Hu!"

"What?!" Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this and looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief.

He finally understood why the queen was so angry when she came back from the academy, scolding herself for not being able to protect her biological father. It turned out that it was you, Hu Weiyong, who went to get him.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had spilled the beans. Regarding the identity of Fourth Master Zhu, his father and mother only told him one person. But then I thought about it, it wouldn’t hurt to let the fourth child know.

The two brothers sat down at the teahouse and chatted while drinking tea. While chatting, Zhu Biao mentioned what had just happened in the academy and frowned slightly: "Hu Weiyong always targets the academy, which is really a headache."

When Zhu Di heard this, he relaxedly spread his hands and responded: "Brother Prince, what you said is that I was also a regular customer before, wasn't it?"

Zhu Biao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat doting smile. To be honest, his favorite brother is Zhu Di. Zhu Di always followed him when he was a child. When he came to play in the East Palace, he never knocked on the door and just barged in.

Zhu Biao then repeated to Zhu Di exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang told him. After hearing this, Zhu Di said in shock and joy: "That's it! I asked why my father always runs to my master, but it turns out that the master is my grandfather! This is great!"

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Di playing with the little palace maid. He suddenly felt speechless, and said with a bit of joking: "Fourth, you are such a rare visitor today, why do you have time to come to my East Palace?"

Seeing his excitement, Zhu Biao was a bit dumbfounded: "You have messed up this generation, and grandpa has become your master. Hey, let's do this for now. Grandpa's memory has not been restored yet, so don't rush to recognize grandpa yet. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and slapped her. With a snap, Hu Weiyong was sent flying out of the Wenhua Hall. After landing, his face was burning with pain.

He couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly lost his temper? Doesn’t he hate official corruption the most? Then Mr. Zhu is bribing officials.

So he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, Fourth Master Zhu is our biological grandfather."

Zhu Di nodded to express his understanding: "Then I'd better ask the master to speak more smoothly. I will change my words when my father recognizes my grandpa."

……

"Father, this time is really confusing. He knew clearly that it was grandpa, but why didn't he do anything?" Zhu Di snorted dissatisfied, and then said, "Grandpa rose from the head of the Beggar Gang to the unification of the capital. Power, I have witnessed all the ups and downs along the way. The people in Huaixi have frequently made trouble for grandpa, but grandpa has never flinched."

Zhu Biao sighed softly and said: "The key to this is that grandpa came back from the dead, which is really unbelievable. When the royal blood is involved, my father naturally has to be cautious."

"After he became emperor, he started to be afraid of this and that? He didn't even dare to recognize his biological father?" Zhu Di glared angrily, "I think my father is getting more and more timid." "Fourth, How could you talk like that?" Zhu Shou said with a hint of reproach in his tone.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows disapprovingly and said to Zhu Biao: "Brother Prince, in my opinion, you might as well just do the opposite. I support you, let's oust our father and let him go back to Fengyang to herd cattle. Doesn’t he always say that he is a cowherd boy? In this way, he can spend more time with his mother."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was so shocked that he spit out a mouthful of tea: "Fourth! Can you say such rebellious words casually? You are really becoming more and more lawless!"

Zhu Di curled his lips, his face full of indifference. Zhu Biao really had no choice but to change the subject: "Tell me, why did you come to see me today? You must not have just come to chat, right?"

Zhu Di immediately put on a smiling face: "Hey, the eldest brother of the prince is aware of it. I do have something to ask for. I have always wanted to follow General Xu Da on an expedition to the grassland to capture Wang Baobao alive. Unfortunately, neither my father nor my mother agreed, so I want to ask the prince to help me intercede in front of them."

Zhu Biao looked at his eleven-year-old brother in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so young, it is too dangerous to go to the battlefield! Not to mention that my father and mother will not agree, even I can't worry about it."

"Brother Prince, do you also look down on me?" Zhu Di suddenly became angry, "I'm not young anymore! Look at Huo Qubing, didn't he become a champion and become famous all over the world when he was just a teenager?"

"But Huo Qubing is at least seventeen years old!" Zhu Biao glared at him angrily, "You are only eleven years old, can you be the same?"

"Humph! You just refused to give me a chance!" Zhu Di turned around and ran out of the East Palace in anger.

Zhu Biao looked at his younger brother's back and sighed helplessly. The fourth child was very similar to his grandfather. They were both troublemakers.

……

dusk.

The depressed Zhu Di led the Zhatian Gang to bomb the streets for a day and prepared to return to the Qinhuai River Courtyard. When I went to Taibai Tower to buy a big bag of food, I met Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Are you going to visit your father, my master?" Zhu Di asked with a hint of provocation.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said angrily: "It must have been your eldest brother who told you, right? This whole generation has been messed up by you."

"Father, I was the one who became my disciple first, and you showed up later." Zhu Di snorted dissatisfiedly, "Are you my biological father? You've been hiding it for so long, and you haven't told me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di angrily: "I told you, why don't you threaten me with this? Now my killing fist is stronger than yours. If you dare to say nonsense, I will beat you to the ground and rub you again."

The father and son each carried the packaged delicacies, glared at each other, but said in unison: "Pay."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes: "Fourth brother, you are much richer than me now. Isn't it okay to be filial to me?"

Although Zhu Di was reluctant, he still paid. The father and son carried the delicious food and walked towards the small courtyard of Qinhuai River together. On the way, Zhu Yuanzhang reminded: "Since you already know, don't tell me anything. Also, your master has found a young girl to live in the courtyard. You should be more careful when you speak."

"What? Is he eating young grass again?" Zhu Di was shocked.

"That's right! Shameless old thief!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "I don't know what those little girls see in him."

"What about the master's wife in the back of my academy?" Zhu Di frowned.

"I guess your master wants to get rid of the eldest princess of Beiyuan." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and spread his hands.

"What a scumbag!" Zhu Di said through gritted teeth, "I will be such a scumbag in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a black line on his face. The two walked to the door of the small courtyard, opened the door, and saw Fourth Master Zhu sitting leisurely in the courtyard alone. Zhu Di looked around and asked curiously: "Where is the little vixen?"

Fourth Master Zhu glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense! How could a person like me, who is so clean and self-contained, raise a vixen?" Fourth Master Zhu glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, how could a person like me, who is so clean and self-contained, raise a vixen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at each other, then rolled their eyes.

"You came just in time, I'm hungry." Fourth Master Zhu waved.

They took out the dishes from the food boxes, placed them on the table, and poured wine. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun falls in the courtyard, which is very warm, like a family having a meal.

Zhu Yuanzhang liked this feeling very much, it reminded him of his childhood. Zhu Di slammed the table, raised the bowl and toasted to Fourth Master Zhu: "Master, didn't you say before that you were buried alive by an unfilial son? When you find him, I will beat him with you until he can't even recognize his father. come out."

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with blood after hearing this.
