First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31

Zhu Biao knocked on the door twice, and Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

After Zhu Biao came in, he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, knelt down and said, "Father, my son has returned to worship the ancestors."

Zhu Yuanzhang happily walked up to Zhu Biao and pulled him up: "Okay, Biao'er has worked hard! How is this journey, what have you seen?

Zhu Biao stood up and returned: "My son saw it along the way, the country is broken and the people are struggling to survive."

Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the desk: "After seeing this, you didn't go out in vain. You can't imagine what it is like to live in peace when you read books and newspapers in the palace."

"How do you get along with the elders in your hometown?"

Zhu Biao didn't believe that Lao Zhu didn't know what happened to him along the way, but he had to answer honestly.

He slowly told what he had done when he worshipped his ancestors, and conveyed their admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang for the elders of his hometown.

Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the document, and after a while he asked, "What do you think of Lan Yu?"

Zhu Biao did not answer immediately, thinking in his mind how to answer is the best choice, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not urge when he read the book.

"My son thinks that Lan Yu is a little arrogant!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I'm not afraid of him being arrogant, but I'm afraid that he has no ability, Biaoer, people with ability will inevitably have a little temper, this is nothing!

Zhu Biao understood as soon as he heard it, and nodded silently.

After waiting so honestly for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and stretched after dealing with the government affairs: "Biao'er, you and Dad went out for a walk. We've been busy all morning, and our waists are sore."

Zhu Biao obediently stepped forward and gave him a hand. After the father and son walked out of the study, Zhu Yuanzhang took his son's hand for a walk, and some maids followed from a distance.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao to the high platform and looked down, "Biao'er, all the civil servants and military generals are persuading us to enter, and persuade us to hurry up and proclaim the emperor! Those who didn't know they thought they were going to be emperors!

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a calm expression but kept exuding a terrifying aura, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Zhu Biao died so early.

Even if he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would never hurt his son, he was still frightened.

Zhu Biao took a breath and said, "You are destined to return, and now most of the world is under your control. Uncle Xu has also started the Northern Expedition, and Yuan Ting's will to resist has long since collapsed. Good news."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, Zhu Biao continued: "The generals have fought for many years, and now they are all looking forward to your founding of the country. They also enjoy wealth and honor, and it is not incomprehensible that human beings are human."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his son's shoulder and said, "Yes, Biao'er has grown up, but have you thought about how to confer a title?"

Zhu Biao hurriedly handed over: "This is not something my son should consider. His son is young, and even the generals can't fully recognize them. How can they know the merits and demerits of so many of them."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "We have records of their merits and demerits, but we will award them according to merits. Do you think they will be satisfied?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "I'm sure I won't be satisfied. How can people be satisfied?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Okay, Song Lian will teach us a good son,"

"Biao'er is right, they won't be satisfied! They only remember how much credit they have made but never remember the mistakes they made! Now Dad is not in a hurry to start the country because he is afraid that they will cause trouble and disrupt the great cause of the Northern Expedition!"

"But seeing your father so worried, you can't put it off?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "There are a lot of troublemakers, and they are all from Huaixi. They are all old brothers who were born and die with me, so I'm too embarrassed to just kill them all."

Zhu Biao almost laughed, dare you to be embarrassed for not killing them.

"Since this is the case, it is better for my father to start the Yuan Dynasty and become the emperor first, and the matter of canonizing honors and honors, he said to the outside world that he would wait for Uncle Xu and Chang Shuai to come back and confer the canonization together."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "If Yuanting relies on natural danger to hold on to Dadu, then I'm afraid it won't be able to attack for two or three years. This matter can be delayed for a few months, but it can never be delayed for a year. The year is not awarded to the generals."

Zhu Biao couldn't say that Yuan Ting had already lost his fighting spirit, and he would give up Dadu and run away in July next year.

Zhu Biao asked, "What did the king think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, "Then Kaiyuan will become emperor! Let us give them what they want. If they don't agree and dare to make trouble, then don't blame us for being cruel."

Zhu Biao was worried for those people, but there was nothing he could do. As I said before, these soldiers have fought for many years, and now they have become arrogant soldiers, and even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay much attention to it.

"Opening your mouth and shutting your mouth is what they are, and after drinking, they claim that without them, there would be no Emperor Zhu.

According to their meaning, not to mention the mere princes and princes, they should all be named kings.

Are these people successful?Yes, these people are all veterans who climbed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, how could they have no merit!

But are they not wrong?Are all heroes?On the contrary, they are full of problems, not to mention heroes, each of them has dozens or hundreds of innocent souls in their hands.

Their moral level, even Zhu Biao has heard of them, is something that forgets righteousness for the sake of wealth. It is trivial to rob civilians, and they often condone their subordinates to kill good people and take advantage of them.

Either kill innocent travelers and merchants, seize money, and then cut off the head as a spy of Yuan Court.

Either the troops with poor military discipline slaughtered the people when they marched through the villages, slaughtered women, burned the villages, cut off the heads of the people, cut their hair and pretended to be soldiers of the Yuan Court.

This era is like this. In troubled times, such things are not uncommon. Zhu Yuanzhang has already killed an unknown number of such generals.

However, there are always some people who, regardless of their character, have a lot of brothers. They hugged them together, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was not good, they would all be killed.

Now some have gone to the Northern Expedition, and some have stayed here waiting for the founding of the country to be awarded.

It is also that they are persuading them to enter every day, and they can't wait to hold the founding ceremony tomorrow.Wen Chen really wants his face, he looks too ugly and loses his demeanor, and no one has ever been in such a hurry.
