Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 42 Death on the left, right, up and down!
"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the crab in his hand at once.

No matter how he thought about Lan Yu's question, he never thought that Huang Xiongying would give such an answer.

But think about it.

It does make sense.

What kind of a good person can Sapphire's hob meat be?
"However, we heard that Sapphire not only went to your wine shop, but also vigorously promoted the wine for you. Don't you think Sapphire has the slightest affection?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said leisurely, but he didn't talk about the gift of the knife.

Lan Yu is his great-grandson's great-uncle and grandfather, and he has already recognized the identity of his great-grandson. With Lan Yu's temperament, it is impossible not to be nice to his great-grandson.

So what his grandson said just now really surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

Only Huang Xiongying said: "Sun'er is thinking of his love, so he will tell the truth."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a curious look, and said: "Tell me, what's wrong? Don't worry, it's just me and my father here, and we won't spread anything."

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the crab in his hand and gnawed it again.

Huang Xiongying nodded.

After such a long time of contact, Huang Xiongying knew that the old man was a man of one word, just like his father said, his grandfather was a great man.

Even regardless of these, Huang Xiongying can still feel the old man's feelings for him.

Such feelings cannot deceive anyone.

Therefore, Huang Xiongying sincerely regards the old man as a family member and a grandfather, and will not defend himself.

And he is also very lucky to have such a grandpa.

Because of the old man, he had a lot of words and thoughts in his heart, so he had someone to confide in, which his old man Huang Tieniu could not give him.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiongying replied: "Lanyu is arrogant and domineering, and the people on the Qinhuai River are saying that the nine-foot-long dragon boat on the river was made by Lanyu. All the singers gathered on the boat and drove down the river in a big dragon boat all day long, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling!"

"You said, is he a good man?"

After Huang Xiongying's voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, showing an intriguing expression.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "But Sapphire has made great military exploits for our Ming Dynasty. He led the army to fight in the north and south, and returned with many victories. The slave waited for dozens of riders to escape, after fighting for so many years, shouldn't he enjoy it?"

"no!"

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said: "Help Daming conquer the world, but this world is not for him to enjoy. This is the world of Emperor Hongwu, and it is also the world of the subjects of the world!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he nodded subconsciously.

"If Sapphire continues like this..."

Speaking of this, Huang Xiongying paused, and did not continue.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't want to be in front of him, was in a hurry, and looked straight at Huang Xiongying: "What will happen if this continues? Oh, we have said it all, boldly say, the words here will never be spread!"

"Really?"

"Say, say what you want to say, if you don't say it, you just don't believe us!"

Glancing at the anxious look of the old man, Huang Xiongying said, "If Lanyu continues like this, Emperor Hongwu will definitely kill him!"

The voice fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened all of a sudden.

It also……

How dare you say it!

When he was on the palace wall before, Sapphire's behavior was like a knife stuck in his heart.

At that time, he really moved to kill.

But thinking that if Lan Yu's lineage was killed, the military generals in the court would definitely not be able to take over. Now that Meng Yuan's thieves are not dead, and there are turmoil in the southwest, Lan Yu still has his role, so he endured it.

He never revealed his thoughts to anyone.

Never expected that it would be read out by a grandson outside the palace!

Great!

To be a king, you need to have such a mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang endured the shock in his heart, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Da grandson, how do you say this?"

Now that he had finished talking, Huang Xiongying stopped writing, and replied: "Lanyu is arrogant, it is an indisputable fact, his greatest ability is to lead troops to fight, if there is no battle to fight, he will only eat, drink and have fun !"

"After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu told them countless times that the arrogant soldiers should abide by the law, eat salaries, and enjoy peace, but Lan Yu and the others will? No! They think that the world was brought down by them, It's up to them to enjoy it!"

"Will Emperor Hongwu allow them to corrupt the law and indulge in pleasure? Nor will he!"

"why?"

"Because Emperor Hongwu came from the lowest level of peasants, he has tasted all the sufferings of the world, and he knows the hardships of ordinary people. It can be said that Emperor Hongwu is the emperor who puts the people in his heart the most among the emperors of all dynasties. He would rather To kill corrupt officials, I would rather kill ministers who violated the law, but also protect his people and his Ming Dynasty!"

"So Lan Yu continues like this, do you think Emperor Hongwu will not kill him?"

pat!

The crab in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand fell to the ground.

Huang Xiongying's words just now completely touched his heart.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang bent down to pick up the crab on the ground, wiped it with his cuff, put it in his mouth, and after eating the crab, he looked at Huang Xiongying again and asked:
"Then do you think Sapphire should be killed?"

"Should kill!"

Huang Xiongying replied without hesitation, and then changed the topic again: "But it's a pity to kill!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled again: "What do you say?"

Huang Xiongying said: "The famous founding generals of the Ming Dynasty are old now, and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north have been harassing the borders of the Ming Dynasty, trying to make a comeback. The imperial court is employing people, young, strong and heroic like Sapphire. Those who are good at fighting and who are well versed in Gobi tactics in the north are really rare, killing Lan Yu is a great loss for Ming's military frontier defense!"

"Emperor Hongwu took these things into consideration, so he endured Lan Yu forever!"

"Um……"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly: "According to what you said, Mr. Hongwu didn't want Lanyu to take credit for his pride, but he had to use him to defend the frontier. Do you think Mr. Hongwu should kill him or not?"

"kill!"

Huang Xiongying replied without hesitation.

This surprised Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Why?"

Huang Xiongying said with a bit of embarrassment: "Grandpa, do you really want to say it? Just what we said just now, if Jin Yiwei listens to it, both of us won't be able to lose our heads!"

Just as he was getting to the point, Huang Xiongying came to a sudden stop.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel like a cat scratching his heart. If Huang Xiongying didn't continue talking, he could guarantee that he would never be able to sleep tonight.

"Brat, after all, you still can't trust us!"

"No, Grandpa."

Huang Xiongying quickly explained: "What we are talking about has already involved the royal family, this is not something we should care about."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Huang Xiongying: "Do you want Lan Yu to die?"

Huang Xiongying looked at the old man, and saw a hint of cunning in the old man's eyes. This old man was really listless, so he shook his head honestly.

"If you don't want him to die, just tell us clearly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face.

Huang Xiongying nodded, and said: "Then I'll just say it straight, Daming now has two princes and grandsons who are very likely to ascend to the throne, one is Yan Wang Zhu Di who guards Beiping, and the other is the prince who passed away. The eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen who cried the loudest at that time, do you think your grandson's analysis is correct?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and nodded.

It was funny in my heart.

This time, you are wrong!
Most likely you are right!

How did Huang Xiongying know about Zhu Yuanzhang's psychological activities, and continued: "Yan Wang Zhu Di has fought in the battlefield for many years, his military achievements are outstanding, and his military prestige is very high, but his relationship with Lan Yu is very bad, even bad, because Lan Yu once Report to the prince that King Yan has the air of a son of heaven, and he will rebel sooner or later, so if King Yan succeeds, he will definitely not be able to tolerate Lan Yu. The existence of Lan Yu will only bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty. die."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement, he knew that Lan Yu had reported on King Yan.

"go on."

Huang Xiongying continued: "According to the teachings of the emperor's ancestors, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi is the legal heir, and his filial piety to the prince has impressed the old emperor Hongwu, so he is also very likely to be the crown prince, but the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen has a cowardly character and lacks strategic means. Moreover, he was not born of the former princess Chang's family and has no blood relationship with Lanyu, so he must not be able to control Lanyu. Sapphire is still dead."

"Ah--"

After hearing Huang Xiongying's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "According to what you said, Lanyu is dead on both sides. Does it mean that Lanyu has no way out?"

"No!"

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said, "Unless the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi becomes the crown prince!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened again, and he looked at Huang Xiongying with great interest: "What do you say?"

Huang Xiongying said: "Because the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxie was born to the former Crown Princess Chang's family, if according to the etiquette, Zhu Yunxie is more compliant and legal than Zhu Yunqiu, Lan Yu will be loyal to Zhu Yunxie because of the prince's affection, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just a pity that when Zhu Yunxi was young, the former concubine Chang left him, and the prince was busy with government affairs and neglected to teach Zhu Yunxi. As a result, Zhu Yunxi's character was more cowardly than Zhu Yunxie, and his mind was as pure as a piece of white paper. It is impossible to become the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly, then thought of something else, and said with a smile: "So, Lan Yu is still a dead man! Hey, Lan Yu, Lan Yu, you have been sentenced to death with a reprieve!"

"Grandpa is right. Sapphire was sentenced to death with a reprieve, but it was the reprieve that gave Sapphire a chance!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang once again showed a look of enthusiasm: "Hurry up and talk!"

Huang Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "This is where my grandson wants Grandpa to help you."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with burning eyes, and motioned him to speak quickly.

Huang Xiongying nodded and said: "This time Lanyu is going to the Southwest, with his temperament, it will inevitably be a great success, and he will definitely pocket a part of Yuelu Timur's family property, and even get his hands on his wife and daughter."

"And after returning from victory, they will definitely speak proud words and show off their military achievements!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, showing a puzzled look: "Then such a sapphire is not a crime, and it can be sentenced to death directly!"

"No!"

Huang Xiongying shook his head again: "Grandson wants to ask grandpa to place a copy of sapphire heavily in the court hall, so that Emperor Hongwu will take the opportunity to convict him, let him return from a great victory instead of promotion, and give him a copy of the sapphire." It is a heavy lesson, I hope that through this blow, he will be able to understand, restrain himself, be cautious in his words and deeds, and abide by the law, and maybe he can escape disaster!"

Good trick!
Zhu Yuanzhang watched Huang Xiongying's eyes brighten up.

His eldest grandson is really a good way to put him to death and come back to life!
Thinking carefully about what the grandson said just now, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more shocked. Starting from saying that Lanyu was not a good person, he analyzed layer by layer, laid the groundwork layer by layer, and constantly guided him to go deeper, finally throwing out the method of saving Lanyu!

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who thought everything was under control, but couldn't see through it all the way, and followed him step by step unconsciously.

Such ingenuity, such means!
Follow us!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved in his heart. Before the grandson appeared, he had been worried that Zhu Yunqi was ignorant and would not be able to control the entire court situation after inheriting the great unification.

But he, Sun Xiongying, appeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of Xiongying's talents and methods is only two words: follow us!
His eldest grandson is capable of inheriting Daming's country, and capable of reassuring him. Maybe when Daming is handed over to him, there will be a prosperous age that even he can't imagine.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying, no matter how he looked at him, he was pleasing to the eye.

"Hey--"

Huang Xiongying sighed softly: "Looking at Lan Yu's gift of the knife, I can only help him so far. As for whether I can survive, it depends on Lan Yu's own good fortune!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Dasun, if... let's say if, if you are the emperor, can you control the blue jade?"

"Shh!"

Huang Xiongying was startled when he heard the words, quickly put his finger to his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, you want to kill us, how could I be the emperor!"

"Ha ha--"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and said, "We're just making an analogy. Didn't we say that there are only us and my father here, and there will never be a single word spread out, let's say it!"

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said: "You can't talk nonsense, I become the emperor? Then we two won't rebel?"

How to rebel?

We are the current emperor, you are the future emperor, rebel against yourself?
Seeing Huang Xiongying's frightened appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling proud. You have always scared us, now it's our turn to scare you!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, with a playful look on his face, he said, "If the word you said just now spread, it would be a death penalty. Do you still care about saying a few more words?"

"no……"

Huang Xiongying glanced at the old man: "Old man, you're just breaking a can!"

"hey-hey……"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled twice.

"Okay, I said!"

Huang Xiongying stroked his chin, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If I were the emperor... I might not be able to control Sapphire."

As soon as these words came out, the murderous aura in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly surged...
