The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 326 Zhu Xiongying goes south

After thinking about this place, he felt that this foundation was a gift from heaven.

He sent his own messenger to meet with the messenger of King Liang, Bazalawami.

When Liang Wang Ba Zhalawami's envoy saw that this person had actually met him, he was extremely excited, thinking that perhaps things would change. However, to his utter surprise, although Dali Duan Bao supported Liang Wang Ba Zhalawami in continuing to fight against the Ming Dynasty, he himself had no intention of sending troops and was unwilling to provide anything. This made the envoy very frustrated.

When King Liang learned of this news, he was so angry that he cursed loudly.

"I knew Duan Bao was no good."

He's trying to sit back and watch the two tigers fight!

"He'll wait until our strength and the Ming Dynasty's strength are so great that they're both severely weakened, then he can profit from the situation. This guy is truly cunning, but unfortunately, he doesn't really think we're all fools!"

At this moment, an official standing nearby said with a smile.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for us that he has this idea now. Anyway, he has already agreed to our alliance, even if he doesn't provide anything. After all, his reputation is still there!"

"What will happen if we spread this news and the Ming Dynasty finds out?"

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful, but what they hate most is traitors. If this matter is exposed, I reckon their lives will be very difficult!"

King Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was already quite eager to get started.

If this matter is publicized, it will be equivalent to cutting off Duan Bao of Dali's escape route. At that time, he will have no other choice but to join his own alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

"Quick! He's spread the word about their alliance!"

"I can't wait to see him get furious!"

King Duan Bao of Dali was so angry that he cursed loudly.

"This King Liang truly despicable Zhalawami, actually spreading this matter around!"

"If Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty were to find out about this, his life would be in serious trouble!"

After thinking about this, he wrote a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, meaning that he would never rebel. In order to prevent the Ming army from attacking him, he still organized the army to take precautions.

At this time, in the capital, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang learned of the affairs of the Dali Kingdom and his face turned extremely ugly. The reason why he had appointed Duan Bao as the ruler of the Dali Kingdom and allowed him to establish the Dali Kingdom was to break the alliance between him and the Liang King.

This person and King Liang are allied together, and their strength is formidable. If they continue like this, my life will definitely be difficult. Therefore, the best way is to completely break their alliance.

Otherwise, he would never have let Duan Bao get up. He never expected that this guy would collude with Liang Wang and Zhalawami again. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying arrived at this place and, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, said...

"Grandpa, what happened? Why are you so angry? Tell your grandson, and I'll help you get revenge!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. "Truly worthy of being my grandson! These people are far inferior to him!"

Then he recounted the story of the King of Liang.

Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile.

"Grandpa, rest assured, I have already planned to make a trip to the southwest. Aren't these countries part of some kind of alliance?"

"If they still want to oppose my Great Ming, I guarantee I will tear their alliance to shreds and bring the entire Southeast under our control!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased to hear this. As expected of his grandson, he always spoke in a way that pleased him. He smiled and nodded.

“I appreciate your good intentions, but we shouldn’t push this too hard. After all, the situation in the southwest is not so easy to resolve. Even though we have established the Dogandu and Uruzangdu Provincial Administration Commissions, I know what these guys are thinking. Before, when our Great Ming needed to deal with the enemy in the north, all our forces were focused on defending this area, so we didn’t pay much attention to the defense of the southwest!”

"Now that we've defeated all the northern tribes so badly they can't even raise their heads, we can finally give them a good beating!"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded upon hearing this, and then prepared to lead his men to inspect the southwest. Soon, news spread throughout the court that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was once again personally handling court affairs, and that the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying was on the emperor's orders to inspect the border regions.

Many scholars were very excited when they heard this news, because Zhu Xiong Ying's policies had oppressed them so much that they could not even hold their heads up.

Now that Zhu Xiong Ying has left this place, perhaps the emperor can abolish the policies he previously formulated, and then they can once again act tyrannically in the area.

Because Zhu Xiong Ying's policies stripped them of many privileges, they were very frustrated.

Now that Zhu Xiong Ying has left this place, it's a wonderful thing for them.

They celebrated their victory with great joy, even more so than during the Lunar New Year.

Of course, there was one person who was even happier than them, and that was Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Xiong Ying was an absolute figure in the imperial court. Not only did no one in the three generations of the Zhu family dare to compare with him, but even the princes of the second generation were subdued by him.

It could be said that with such a person in existence, Zhu Yunwen felt that he had little chance of inheriting that position, even though his mother, the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lü, always said that he was the most suitable person for that position.

He also doesn't really believe he'll ever reach that position.

But things are different now. Zhu Xiong Ying has gone to the border region. It's not easy for him to come back when the emperor is far away. If there are any changes in Yingtian Prefecture, I can directly inherit his position. Moreover, I haven't appeared in front of my grandfather and the crown prince much in recent years, which has made them less fond of me.

After Zhu Xiong Ying leaves, he will frequently appear before Emperor Zhu Yuan Zhang.

They will definitely like me when they see Empress Ma, and when it comes time to decide who will be chosen, they will have more support on my side.

At this time, Zhu Xiong Ying was heading to the southwest region under the protection of a group of soldiers. This time, he was accompanied by Bo Ya Lun Hai Bie and a group of experts, and even the people from the West Depot were almost all taken with him.
