Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

In the Fengtian Hall, the candlelight was swaying as the breeze came in from outside the hall.

The light and shadows danced aimlessly on everyone's faces, making the already heavy atmosphere even more depressing.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne with his brows furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death.

He said with a serious face: "We have to talk about the affairs of Yansui Town. The people in that town are the pillars of the northwest of our Ming Dynasty!
Each of them works diligently, like an old ox.

Making a living by digging in the soil, doing business and so on.

It has laid a solid foundation for the economic development of the northwest of Ming Dynasty, and the contribution is huge."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the armrest of the dragon throne again, causing the armrest to make a sound of "ouch".

Then his tone suddenly rose a few notches, "But now, this terrible thing happened at the horse farm in Yansui Town.

snort!
This is like a dead mouse suddenly falling into a pot of porridge.

Not only is it disgusting, it can also ruin the whole pot of porridge!

We can't treat this as a trivial matter and just brush it off, Biao'er."

Zhu Biao hurried forward and bowed politely.

Then he straightened his back like a flagpole in the court.

Zhu Biao then said in a loud voice: "Father, I am listening.

If you have any instructions, just tell me. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of the concern of an old father and his expectations for the prince's future.

He warned earnestly, "When you go to the horse farm, you must keep your eyes open and your ears perked up.

That place is a mess now, just like the backstage of a theater, all kinds of strange things might happen.

You have to be very careful, go early and come back early.

Dad is here in the capital, waiting for you to return safely, and bring you good news about the horse farm.

Don't let Dad be so worried that he keeps hanging in his throat. "

Zhu Biao's face was full of determination, and he bowed again.

He looked as sharp as a sword just out of its sheath, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination.

"Father, please relax. I am the cat that catches mice.

I will never come back to see you unless you find out the guy behind this horse farm.

I will definitely do my best and never let my father down."

After saying this, Zhu Biao turned around and walked out with big strides.

The footsteps sounded like drums beating in the silent night.

After a while, that determined figure was completely swallowed up by the night outside the hall, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Gang stood aside, staring at the direction where Zhu Biao disappeared, and couldn't help but muttering to himself.

"Brother, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard in the horse farm for a while.

I don’t know what kind of complicated conspiracy is hidden behind it.

It's just like a loach hiding in the dark, slippery and unpredictable.

It’s really heart-wrenching!”

Liang Yesian, who was standing next to him, came over immediately upon hearing this.

The head was so close that it was almost touching Zhu Gang's shoulder.

He just echoed, "Oh my, Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right!

Look at this matter, there is something weird about it.

The excellent stallions in that horse farm are all our treasures.

He was usually fat and healthy, and died suddenly for no apparent reason, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. How could he have died suddenly?
That's not all. I also heard that there were foreign spies hanging around the horse farm like that haunting ghost. How could this be a coincidence?

In my opinion, there must be some force behind the scenes plotting something bad, and planning how to disrupt the peaceful life of our Ming Dynasty.

This is such a sinister thought!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gang nodded vigorously and his brows furrowed even deeper.

The worry on his face was like a layer of paste that couldn't be shaken off.

Zhu Gang said worriedly, "I hope that everything goes smoothly for you, and that you can find out the truth as soon as possible and put an end to the disturbance in the horse farm.

The horse policy of our Ming Dynasty is the lifeblood of the army.

If the horse farm remains in such a mess, horse administration will be in chaos.

The Ming Dynasty is just like that paper lantern; it looks good, but it will break if the wind blows."

At this time, the other people in the Fengtian Hall no longer had the lively and lively discussion they had just had on horse politics.

Each of them looked like eggplants hit by frost, with an extremely solemn expression.

Their eyes were all staring straight towards the direction of the palace gate, and it was as if their gazes could turn into two ropes.

The palace gate was directly tied to the Yansui Town Horse Farm so that one could see the chaos and crisis over there at the moment.

The officials from the six ministries all felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts at this moment.

I was so worried about the sudden situation at the Yansui Town Horse Farm that I couldn't eat or sleep.

They hoped that Zhu Biao would be able to find out the truth as quickly as a god who could exorcise demons and monsters.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the flickering candle flame, his heart churning like boiling water.

He thought to himself: If this incident at the horse farm was an accident, it would be like the sun rising from the west.

It must be those foreign forces behind this. Their evil intentions are just like the weeds in the field, growing one after another.

They are trying to cut off the military foundation of the Ming Dynasty from the root.

These few excellent stallions died suddenly...

snort!
Maybe this is the beginning, the bait that lures us in.

If we don’t investigate thoroughly and punish severely, who knows how many horse farms will suffer in the future.

By then, the cavalry of our Ming Dynasty will become a toothless tiger. Let alone fighting, it will be difficult to even scare people.

Then, facing the threats from foreign tribes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they would be pinned down and put in a passive situation.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew in his heart that he couldn't just roll up his sleeves and do something blindly just because of momentary anger.

It's like playing chess, you have to look three steps ahead before taking one step and carefully weigh the interests of all parties.

If the problem of the horse farm is not handled properly, there will be a lot of trouble in the court.

It is estimated that various forces will rush in like sharks smelling blood, taking this opportunity to disrupt the peace of the court, and the situation will become a mess.

If people in the public heard about this, rumors would probably spread like willow catkins in spring.

The people will lose their confidence in the court. If the people's hearts are scattered, it will be more terrifying than anything else.

The most important thing is that the horse policy plan we were discussing was also disrupted by this sudden change.

If the horse farm crisis in Yansui and Datong cannot be resolved, it will be extremely difficult to implement the horse management plan smoothly in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress the anger that was rising up.

He snorted coldly. Although the voice was low, it revealed a majesty that made people shiver.

It's just like the cold wind in winter, which makes people feel cold inside.
