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

Chapter 95 Chapter 93 You are the first to kill!

On the way to the small courtyard by the Qinhuai River, Lan Yu always had one word lingering in her mind.

uncle.

His nephew called him uncle?
What does this mean?This shows that his nephew already knows everything!
Moreover, the old man has already let him recognize his ancestors!Otherwise he wouldn't call himself uncle.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu's heart was agitated, and she couldn't help but waved her fist, and the depression she suffered today dissipated a little.

Zhu Biao is his nephew, and Zhu Xiongying is his nephew.

When Zhu Biao was still alive, he was the most supportive of them, the Huaixi military generals, and they were the most respectful and loyal to the prince.

It's a pity that the prince is gone.

This made them Huaixi military generals suddenly seem to have lost their backbone.

For example, this time, the great victory in the Southwest did not receive any rewards. If the prince was still there, they could talk to the prince and vomit their bitterness. Then, with the character of the prince, he would definitely mediate with the emperor for them The reward, everyone is happy in the end, and their loyalty to the prince will go further.

This is why these military generals like the prince so much.

They are a bunch of military generals, they acted rudely, and they didn't know how to be polite, just like what they said at the banquet, they wanted to find an explanation from the emperor, but in fact they were just talking.

If they really wanted to go, with their clumsy mouths, not only would they be silenced by the emperor, but they would also be reprimanded, and they might even be fined.

So without the prince, they would have no link to communicate with the emperor.

But now his nephew is back.

Everything started to look different again.

Judging from what he learned, the emperor loves his great grandson very much.

Regardless of these, with the kindness of the crown prince for so many years, even if he risked his life, he still had to take good care of the eldest son of the crown prince.

As Lan Yu was thinking, the sedan chair had quietly arrived in front of a small courtyard by the Qinhuai River.

The lights were still on in the small courtyard, as if it was reserved for him.

The corner of Sapphire's mouth couldn't help twitching, revealing a heart-warming smile.

After all, it is my nephew.

As soon as I returned to Beijing, I immediately wanted to see myself.

knock on the door.

Lan Yu saw the Guo brothers.

"General Lan, you are here!"

The Guo brothers obviously knew that Lan Yu was coming.

The two are the grandsons of Guo Ying, and Guo Ying is in charge of the imperial guards, and the two brothers are also serving in the palace.

The old man sent these two brothers to his grandson, it seems that he wanted the two brothers to serve his grandson like their grandfather.

Lan Yu nodded at the two, and asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

"Your Highness is inside the house, General Lan, please follow me!"

With that said, the Guo brothers led the way, and Lan Yu followed with strides while watching up and down.

Entering the room, I saw a young man sitting at the desk with a book blocking his face.

"Your Highness, General Lan has arrived."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying slowly put down the book in front of him, stood up, and looked at a burly middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and short black beard standing at the door.

And the middle-aged man also looked at Zhu Xiongying in a daze.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Uncle, do you know who I am?"

The young man in front of him is tall and tall, just like the prince back then.

Lan Yu was in a trance for a moment, but after a moment of stupefaction, she walked up to Zhu Xiongying without any hesitation, and bowed to see her.

"Chen, Sapphire, see Your Highness!"

Now that Zhu Xiongying recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, no matter how crazy Lan Yu is, he is only a courtier, and in his heart, he has already recognized Zhu Xiongying, just like he recognized the prince back then.

Zhu Xiongying walked over, helped Lan Yu up, and said, "Uncle, you are all from my own family, so there is no need to salute!"

Hearing these three words of her own family, Lan Yu's heart immediately warmed up, she smiled and said, "You are the emperor's grandson, and we are ministers, this etiquette can't be messed up!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Uncle, sit down!"

After letting Lan Yu sit down, Zhu Xiongying went back to his seat and sat down, and said with a smile, "Drinking? Xiao Guo, go and make a pot of tea, so that Duke Liang can sober up!"

The Guo brothers were ordered to retreat.

Lan Yu laughed and said, "The wine His Highness brewed is really good, we couldn't help but drink two more glasses!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't worry about this anymore, but asked: "Uncle, you should know something about me, right?"

"Know a thing or two."

Lan Yu nodded, and said excitedly, "We never dreamed that His Highness is still alive!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Unfortunately, I didn't even see my father for the last time. Can uncle tell me about my father?"

Speaking of Zhu Biao, Sapphire's eyes seemed to pull away all of a sudden.

"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, the moment we entered the room just now, I saw you sitting there reading a book, and it was exactly the same as your father before!"

"Your father is gentle and refined, benevolent and diligent, virtuous and upright, and everyone in the court and the public is dissatisfied. Many times, our brothers made mistakes, and he was the mediator who saved many of our brothers. Your father, how can we have today?"

"It's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents! Every time I think of this, we... hate it in our hearts! I hate this thief, God, why did you take the prince away!"

Lan Yu beat her chest resentfully, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "If the crown prince is still here, he will be so happy when he sees you back!"

Speaking of this, Sapphire's eyes turned red.

Sapphire is a person of true temperament, and he is absolutely sincere to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Xiongying saw it in his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart.

I am afraid that Lan Yu at this moment would never have imagined that he will be punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for treason in the spring of next year. The Lanyu case, one of the four famous Hongwu cases.

Sapphire is utterly loyal, brave and fearless in battle, brave and resourceful, he can be called a famous general of a generation, but he also has fatal flaws, and his military ability is exactly the opposite of his political capacity.

If we say that when he first came to this world, what Zhu Xiongying thought about was how to use his own ability to influence this era subtly as much as possible while preserving himself.

But now, he is the eldest grandson of Daming, and he is very likely to ascend to the throne of God, so his mentality has changed.

The so-called butt decides the head.

As identities change, so do considerations.

In the past, when he talked about Lan Yu with the old man, he could not care about the life and death of Lan Yu and those arrogant soldiers, but now he can't just sit idly by.

Because once he ascends to the throne of God, there is no one under his command who can fight, and they are all gods of war on paper like Li Jinglong. If he really wants to meet King Yan, although the probability is not high, he has to guard against it. .

Besides, Zhu Xiongying's ambition is not only about the throne, but also these people are indispensable in what he wants to do.

So Lan Yu and his group are the precious political legacy left to him by his father, King Zhu Biao. He doesn't want to destroy it easily. He wants to let these people shine brighter in the future rise of the Ming Dynasty.

"Uncle, I heard that you won the battle in the southwest this time and made great achievements. Congratulations!"

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Lan Yu smiled wryly: "Hey!"

Zhu Xiongying knew why and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lan Yu glanced at Zhu Xiongying, just about to speak, but swallowed the words back abruptly, wanting to speak.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "I said, we are a family, I can trust my uncle, but it seems that my uncle can't trust me."

After being so excited by Zhu Xiongying, Lan Yu no longer hesitated, and said slowly: "Your Highness does not know, this time we went to the Southwest, we always felt that something was wrong. When we were still in Xichuan, we asked the emperor for instructions to continue the crusade. Duogan and Baiyi were rejected by the emperor, and they wanted to send Yuelu and his son to the capital for execution, but were rejected by the emperor again."

"And this time when I returned to the capital to discuss meritorious deeds, the rewards for the sergeants were rewarded, and they were more generous than before, but we... we didn't get any rewards at all. I really don't know what the emperor thinks! "

As she said that, Lan Yu looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, I know you are close to the emperor, can you tell us, you know, why are we warriors working so hard to earn military merits? It's not because of that little wealth." Are you rich? If your Highness has the opportunity, can you give us and our brothers some good words?"

After all, Lanyu looked at Zhu Xiongying eagerly.

I hope that the grandson in front of me can reconcile between them and the emperor like the prince did back then.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "If I hadn't said a few words for you, I'm afraid Jin Yiwei should have come to the door by now."

"what?"

Sapphire's eyeballs stared, revealing an incredulous expression.

He had just returned from meritorious service, what did Jin Yiwei come to him for?Could it be said that the emperor really wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Just in a daze, Zhu Xiongying said: "I told Grandpa Huang that you will be able to make up for your crimes in the future, so Grandpa Huang asked me to give you a chance!"

"Your Highness!"

Lan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, he only realized now that the eldest grandson seemed to be different from the prince, "Chen, what did I do wrong?"

Sapphire couldn't hide the dissatisfaction on her face, and even changed her self-proclaimed name.

Zhu Xiongying remained calm and said, "Don't you want to know why Grandpa Huang didn't reward you? See for yourself!"

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying threw a memorial on Lan Yu's body.

Sapphire quickly picked it up, opened it and took a closer look, the more she looked at it, the more chilly her back felt.

The memorial is full of his crimes.

Some said that he had an affair with Yuanzhu's concubine, which made Yuanzhu commit suicide in shame;

One by one, when and where, all are clearly written, and even some of them, he himself does not remember.

Even if he looked at it himself, it was shocking.

What frightened him the most was that those remarks about the Holy Majesty were actually listed in detail.

Looking at Sapphire who was sweating on his forehead, Zhu Xiongying asked lightly: "Uncle, there are only two of us here, and I won't beat around the bush. Did the above wrong you?"

"No... no."

Sapphire shook her head, but did not argue.

Zhu Xiongying didn't shy away from anything, and continued to ask: "Then do you think Grandpa Huang would have killed you if I hadn't persuaded you?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu was speechless.

To be honest, he didn't know, because the emperor wouldn't even blink his eyes when he killed someone, and even before you could react, he sent you to prison for interrogation.

Seeing that Lan Yu didn't answer, Zhu Xiongying said: "Let me answer for you, Grandpa Huang will kill you. Remember Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong? Before they were killed, they were so similar to you now!"

When Sapphire heard this, her face began to turn pale.

He knew that what Zhu Xiongying said was right, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were at the peak of their power back then, when they were at their most inflated, they were executed by the emperor without warning.

And he heard that Hu Weiyong was bitten to death by a mosquito, which was extremely tragic.

I don't know what will happen to me?

Thinking about it, Sapphire couldn't help feeling palpitations.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "Arrogant soldier with endless troubles, do you know who said this? Liu Bowen! It's the Liu Bowen you hate the most!"

"Do you know how terrible these two words are? They can kill people!"

Hearing this, Sapphire lowered her head.

Being lectured by a junior made him speechless, he was in a trance, and almost thought it was the emperor who lectured.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "I know, you guys are talking behind your back, saying that Grandpa Huang is cunning, and that Grandpa Huang has conquered the world, so you forget your true heart and you brothers."

"But have you ever thought about who is the one who really forgot his heart? It's you the fuck!"

"Grandpa Huang tells you every day that you must obey the law and obey the law, eat your salary, and enjoy peace, but have you listened to it?"

"You didn't!"

"What did you fight Meng Yuan for at the beginning? Wasn't it because you were bullied miserably, now that the Meng Yuan thief has been beaten away, it's your turn to bully the people?"

"You have become the people you hated the most back then, you know?!"

Zhu Xiongying was so imposing that Lan Yu, who had experienced many battles, did not dare to have the slightest contradictory words, so she could only listen quietly.

Zhu Xiongying watched Lan Yu bowing his head and quietly listening to the lecture, but he became more and more angry, because he knew that the old man must have told Lan Yu many times what he said just now, but Lan Yu seemed to be long I have a pair of donkey ears, so I can't hear it.

"Uncle!"

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and said, "I call you uncle because I sincerely treat you as one of my own. I'll just say something straight."

"This time, I will intercede with Grandpa Huang for you and ask him to give you a chance."

"And there's only one chance."

"If you still don't know how to repent, even if Grandpa Huang doesn't kill you, if I rise to power in the future, the first one to kill...is you!"

Zhu Xiongying's faint words made Lanyu feel the cool wind blowing on the back of her neck.

He raised his head and met Zhu Xiongying's gaze.

That resolute gaze finally made him start to be afraid.

He knew that the emperor's eldest grandson was serious. When he came, he still thought that the emperor's eldest grandson could protect them like the previous princes.

But now he knows he was wrong.

The grandson of the emperor is not like a prince, but more like the current Emperor Hongwu...
