Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

If those hundreds of thousands of troops were really used for rebellion, would Zhu Xiongying reveal it like this?
Then they would definitely be arranged in Yingtian Prefecture directly, and then find a suitable opportunity to attack Yingtian Prefecture.

Force Lao Zhu to abdicate!
"okay!"

"How can you be a senior official of the imperial court?"

"Xiong Ying is the crown prince, how could he possibly rebel?"

"If he rebels, will you still have the chance to stand here and talk to us?"

"Would he reveal those hundreds of thousands of troops so easily?"

"Is he a fool?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The generals shouted loudly.

The civil servants think the same way.

"His Majesty……"

"All right!"

"Retreat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen to these civil servants' complaints anymore.

......................................................

In the imperial study room!

"You did a good job this time, little brat."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile.

"You say, I've always performed well."

"You little bastard, are you proud?"

“That’s called confidence!”

"Definitely..."

"I don't want to bother with you!"

"Let me ask you, what do you think about the Wuliangha surrounding you?"

"Was it Xu Da who did it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject and Zhu Biao beside him frowned slightly.

"From the current perspective, all the blame is directed at Grandpa Xu, but not him!"

"Xiong Ying, you have to think carefully. Don't be soft-hearted just because he taught you."

Zhu Biao said this not to kill Xu Da, but to save him.

Only in this way can Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Xu Da be alleviated.

"Prince father, I didn't say anything nonsense, nor am I soft-hearted."

"It's not Grandpa Xu, it's Fourth Uncle's fault. He knows that it was Fourth Uncle's own fault. That's why Fourth Aunt was imprisoned with him."

"Even if he wants to hate, he shouldn't hate me."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "You are right!"

"Who do you think it will be?"

"From what I can see now, those who know that Grandpa Xu sent reinforcements to support me must be on the list of those going on this expedition."

"But I can't say who it is!"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said, "Aren't the bad guys under your command very powerful?"

"Let them check it out!"

"rest assured!"

“It’s already been spread out!”

"Do you need the cooperation of Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

"Old Zhu, what will you do if another fourth uncle is found?"

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and frowned.

Hesitated!
It’s a dilemma!
If something like what happened to Zhu Di happens again, I really don’t know what to do.

After all, one is a son and the other is a grandson, and they are both flesh and blood.

"This……"

"Xiong Ying, have you found out anything yet?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying closely, trying to get an answer from him.

"no!"

"I just said that casually. After all, the person who leaked the information must be someone extraordinary."

“Be prepared!”

"I'm afraid you can't bear it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "It's okay!"

"What big scene haven't we seen?"

"is it?"

"That's not the case!"

"Blow! Keep blowing! Just don't let your defense break when the time comes."

"Breaking defense?"

"What does this defense breaking mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion, and Zhu Xiongying waved his hand: "Nothing!"

"Now that the grassland has been taken, what are we going to do?"

"Let's try the method you mentioned before. If it works, then that's it."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"Also, after this great battle, our Ming soldiers fought bloody battles but ultimately won the victory."

"But there was a price to pay and some people died."

"I think this should be avoided."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at him in surprise.

"Xiong Ying, what do you mean?"

"There will definitely be casualties in war, and our casualties are already quite high."

Zhu Biao said calmly.

"Yeah! Your father is right!"

"Compared to the grassland, we are already pretty good."

"Old Zhu, the prince's father!"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the soldiers were armed with firearms instead of cold weapons?"

“Will there be such a large number of casualties?”

The two of them were stunned!
"You mean those new weapons?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded!

"What you said does make sense!"

"If we switch to firearms, it will indeed reduce a lot of casualties, but the Ministry of Industry is simply unable to mass-produce them at the moment."

"Now they say they can't even make the steel they need, let alone mass-produce it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly.

"Then tell them not to build it. The Ministry of Works is only suitable for building bridges and roads."

"It's a bit difficult to ask them to research weapons."

"Let them transfer the project to Daming Military Industry. Let professionals handle professional matters."

"We are also recruiting craftsmen from all over the country. I don't believe that we can't find a talented craftsman."

"Father, this is a good suggestion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Biao'er, you handle this matter!"

"It's Father!"

"Old Zhu, I think we should also set up a research institute."

"Research Institute?"

"Study what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

“Of course, research various fields!”

"Like weapons, agriculture, biology, etc!"

"These will be of great benefit to the future of our Ming Dynasty and cannot be ignored."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Zhu Yuanzhang keenly felt that these would benefit the Ming Dynasty in different ways in the future.

"Row!"

"Listen to you!"

"It's not enough to just set up a research institute, we also need to improve our salaries, even though we are not officials."

"But we have to give them enough so that they can work hard on their research."

"Yeah! You said this!"

"Don't worry, as long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, we will not treat anyone unfairly."

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Let someone study it as soon as possible!"

"We need to mass produce it as soon as possible so that our Ming soldiers can shed less blood."

Just when the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, Wang Jinghong's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War requests an audience!"

"It's something urgent."

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The Minister of War walked in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I won't watch the big things!"

"The Handori tribe of the Liaodong Jurchens colluded with Goguryeo to rebel and has now captured several cities."

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this.

"Bastard thing!"

"They actually dared to rebel? And Goguryeo even got involved."

"Okay! Very good!"

"Erhu!"

"exist!"

Mao Xiang ran in immediately and waited for orders.

"Go! Kill that Lee Seong-gye and the father and son."

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion.

"Is this Lee Seong-gye the same Lee Seong-gye from Goguryeo?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Mao Xiang said respectfully.

"This man cannot be killed!"

"Why?"

"They, Goguryeo, rebelled, why can't we kill them?"

Zhu Biao asked in confusion.

"Not only can we not kill him, we must also let him go back."

"This Lee Seong-gye is a powerful official of Goguryeo. Let him go back and let him deal with the internal affairs of Goguryeo."

"I, the Ming Dynasty, will ensure that he becomes the king of Goguryeo, so that the Handori tribe will have one less helper."

"It's also easier to deal with!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this: "What you said makes sense!"

"Erhu, just do as Xiongying says!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Mao Xiang turned and left!
"Old Zhu, the time has come to completely pacify Liaodong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Wang Jinghong, pass on Lan Yu!"

"Yes!"

..........................................

Not long!
Lan Yu came hurriedly!

"Your Majesty, I, Lan Yu, pay my respects to you!"

"Get up!"

"Lan Yu, the Jurchens in Liaodong have rebelled!"

Lan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to help you pacify Liaodong!"

"it is good!"

"There are troops ready outside the city. You must subdue them completely for me."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I will appoint you as General Po Lu and conquer Liaodong!"

"Yes!"

………………

Not long!
The imperial edict has come down!

Lan Yu was the commander-in-chief, and the Chang brothers, Guo Ying, Li Jinglong and others were generals. They led an army of 400,000 north to Liaodong.

In fact, 400,000 of them are Zhu Xiongying's, including 100,000 Iron Pagodas and 300,000 Black Armor Army.

They were all troops requested by the system to fight on the grassland, and they were all troops that had made great military achievements.

Four hundred thousand cavalry!
Enough to flatten Liaodong!

These soldiers had just returned for less than a day and they had to go back to the battlefield again.

Moreover, he had just received the reward and had no time to enjoy himself before he had to go into battle again.

However, this time, Xiongying was locked up!
He couldn't go anymore, so Zhu Yuanzhang directly sent Jiang Li to follow Zhu Xiongying and never leave his side.

I’m just afraid that he will run away secretly!

In fact, Zhu Xiongying didn't want to go out this time because he had more important things to do.

Three days later!
The day the army sets out!
Zhu Xiongying called Lan Yu aside.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Uncle, when you fight, there is one person you must not hurt."

Ok?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion. Could it be that Zhu Xiongying's lover was among them?

"Your Highness, I wonder who this person is...?"

"A monk, Yao Guangxiao!"

"It's the evil monk who was with Fourth Uncle before!"

"We must not let him die!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will help you capture him alive and bring him back for you to deal with."

Lan Yu patted his chest and said.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "No, no, no!"

"Uncle, I want you to let him go!"

"what?"

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion. These words made Lan Yu completely confused.

Released?

What's going on?

"Your Highness, you have confused me!"

"Uncle, you just need to drive him to Goguryeo. Don't let him die, and don't let him have it too easy."

"Your Highness, you are...going to..."

"I want to completely destroy Goguryeo."

Hearing this, Lan Yu suddenly understood.

"Your Highness, I understand!"

"I will definitely live up to your highness' trust!"

"it is good!"

"I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in Yingtian!"

"Yes!"

Lan Yu bowed and turned to leave.

......................................................

The headquarters of the Warnima Group!

In the chairman's office!
"Yuan Tiangang, how is my third uncle doing recently?"

"Returning to His Highness, he is finding out the traces and has killed several people."

"Do you think I should do it?"

"After all, it's hard to explain to Old Zhu, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince's father."

"This……"

"Go ahead! No problem!"

"I do not blame you!"

Zhu Xiongying picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Your Highness, although he is your uncle, he is a blood relative."

"But there is no family affection in the imperial family. He doesn't even consider you as his nephew, so why should you consider him as your uncle?"

"As for your Majesty, unless you don't touch him, there will be some..."

"After all, he is also my biological son. He was the Prince of Yan before, and now he is the Prince of Jin."

"It's impossible to say that I don't care!"

"The spies in Kunning Palace reported that the Queen still misses Prince Yan from time to time."

"But I also hate the way King Yan did it. It's really..."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying sighed deeply.

What elders hate most is to see the younger generations fighting, which makes it difficult for them to do their jobs.

"So what do you think I should do?"

"Your Highness really wants me to tell you?"

"nonsense!"

"kill!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

"Yuan Tiangang, I didn't even kill my fourth uncle, but you're going to kill my third uncle?"

"Your Highness, when it comes down to it, Prince Yan has the ambition to seize the throne, but he has buried it deep in his heart."

"If he hadn't met Yao Guangxiao, he would probably have been a prince of the Ming Dynasty his entire life, and he would never have revealed it."

"But the King of Jin is different. He is highly regarded by His Majesty and leads the military forces of the Qin and Jin vassal states."

"He is the most powerful Sai King in the Ming Dynasty. His ambition has grown beyond measure."

"If it weren't for your majesty and the crown prince, I'm afraid he would have already gone to the throne to quell the rebellion."

"There's no Yao Guangxiao by his side!"

Zhu Xiongying's face darkened when he heard this.

"My third uncle is quite capable, but a little cruel."

"If we kill him, it will be hard to explain to Old Zhu and his men."

"After all, one of their sons has already gone to jail. If another one comes, I'm really worried that they won't be able to handle it."

"Forget it! Don't think about it anymore!"

"Let's find him out first!"

"Let Zhu decide for himself. He is the emperor after all."

"go!"

"Go back to the palace!"

............................................................

East Palace!

I just came back and met Zhu Biao!
This time, Zhu Biao was about to go to Zhu Yuanzhang to discuss state affairs, but was stopped by Zhu Xiongying.

"Prince father, wait a moment!"

"Hey, Xiongying, could you please stop calling me Prince Daddy all the time?"

"How strange is this?"

"Don't worry about the details!"

"Prince father, I want to go play with my third uncle."

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned. Why did he want to go to Jin for no reason?
"You want to go to Liaodong, huh?"

"No! I really want to go play with my uncle. I'm tired of playing in Yingtian City."

"Brat, don't I know what kind of temper you have?"

"You just went to Liaodong secretly under the guise of visiting your uncle."

"No!"

"Just stay here and be quiet!"

After that, turn around and leave!
"cut!"

"Even if you don't let me go, I'll go anyway!"

Talking!

......................................................

In the imperial study room!

Zhu Yuanzhang is discussing something with Zhu Biao!
Zhu Xiongying walked in carelessly!
