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

Chapter 96 Promise!

For Lan Yu, Zhu Xiongying regretted it.

From the perspective of a later generation, Lan Yu is a rare general. Emperor Hongwu once compared him to Wei Qing and Li Jing, which shows his military ability, but he was rebellious and arrogant. After Zhu Biao died, Just like a strong horse that only Zhu Yuanzhang can control, Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill him in order for his descendants to be able to stabilize the country.

Killed wrong?
From the perspective of an emperor who is about to die, of course he did not make a mistake.

All I can say is, it's a pity to kill!
Especially since Zhu Xiongying took the position of the eldest grandson of Daming, he certainly wanted to keep such a talent.

However, if Lan Yu still doesn't repent after he said that, then he will choose to kill him like Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was definitely not trying to scare Sapphire.

A general who can't control himself, and can't even listen to his own words, keeping him will only make him more and more arrogant, and will eventually become a disaster.

It's better to get rid of him early in the morning than to kill him after the relationship is deep!
"Uncle, let me say one more thing from my nephew, Grandpa Huang will remember your achievements, and you will never miss a single point, but Grandpa Huang will also remember your faults verbatim. How much Grandpa Huang loves you , I hate you so much!"

"You have made Grandpa the Emperor sad, and you have let Liu Bowen say what you said. You are a proud soldier, and there will be endless troubles!"

"That Jinshi master looked down on you when he was alive, and he is still laughing at you after he died! It's not that Grandpa Huang didn't give you a chance, but you fucking don't live up to it!"

"You not only lost your own face, you also lost the face of Grandpa Huang!"

"Do you know why I said, if I were to be the first to kill you? Because I don't want people to say that I, Zhu Xiongying, are the leader of you bastards when they comment on merits and demerits after thousands of years!"

"You can be shameless, but I, Zhu Xiongying, can't be shameless. You can be shameless, but I, Zhu Xiongying, can't be shameless!"

Zhu Xiongying's gaze was like a knife, and his tone was stern, he didn't give Lan Yu any face, he just wanted to say everything thoroughly today.

After scolding her head and face, Lan Yu's blushing face became even redder, and her pair of iron fists also rattled.

He and Liu Bowen are mortal enemies.

Because Liu Bowen once played to Zhu Yuanzhang, what he said was the sentence of arrogant soldiers and brave soldiers, and there will be endless troubles.

As Xu Da and others grew old, Lan Yu gradually became the leader of the generals. He believed that as long as Liu Bowen was not removed, the military officers would not have a good life, so he tried every means to kill Liu Bowen, and even wrote a letter Framed Liu Bowen for corruption, treason, infidelity and other crimes,

However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Lan Yu was thinking.

The reason why he tolerates Lan Yu is because the country is not yet completely stable, and generals like Lan Yu are still needed, and he also wants to use Lan Yu to contain Liu Bowen.

Of course Lan Yu didn't think so much, he always thought that he had made a lot of contributions and Zhu Yuanzhang would not touch him.

But what the eldest grandson said just now really surprised him.

Once in position, he, Sapphire, will be the first to be killed.

He could feel the determination in the emperor's eldest grandson's words.

When he came, he was thinking about how to protect the emperor's eldest grandson in the future. He didn't expect that the emperor's eldest grandson not only didn't need his own protection, but he was also afraid that he would tarnish his holy name in the future.

Sapphire never thought about this problem from this angle.

But those who have survived the battle have a disregard for life in their bones.

Because they have seen too many dead people. On the battlefield, people are like ants, and their lives are like worthless things. It's just a matter of going down with a knife. Before going to the battlefield, you must be prepared to die, because you don't know whether you can live or not. return.

So when they return to the peaceful and prosperous age, they have to enjoy themselves to the fullest, otherwise how can they be worthy of the madness on the battlefield?
Their emotions and psychology are beyond the imagination and understanding of civil servants.

With Sapphire's wisdom on the battlefield, don't they know what is law-abiding and what is morality?

Of course they know it, but in their eyes, life is nothing, and they are talking about obeying the law and morality.

So tell them this, how can they listen to it?

However, what Zhu Xiongying didn't expect was that what really touched Lan Yu in his words just now was not the sentence that the superior would kill him.

People like Sapphire are not afraid of death at all.

This is also why Emperor Hongwu had to peel off the real grass when he killed him, because he couldn't see Lan Yu's fearless look, beheading was too easy for Lan Yu, he just wanted Lan Yu to be afraid.

So if Zhu Xiongying said he wanted to kill him, Lan Yu wasn't afraid at all.

The reason why he was silent and thoughtful was because of Zhu Xiongying's last sentence.

Yes!

Our nephew is going to be an eternal sage in the future.

Just like what my nephew said, we can just want profit but not fame, but our nephew can't, we can't hold back our nephew!
Otherwise, we, uncles, really deserve to die!
Looking at Lan Yu who was thinking, Zhu Xiongying breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, what should be said should not be said, my nephew has said it all, and my nephew will only say these things once, what should I do? You decide for yourself."

Lan Yu didn't want to, but without the slightest hesitation, she stood up, cupped her hands to Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, please teach me what to do, but it's okay to say!"

The rapid change of Lan Yu's attitude made Zhu Xiongying secretly a little surprised, but he still said calmly: "The Longevity Festival is coming soon. Didn't the emperor ask all the officials above the third rank to submit a memorial? Looking back at myself these years Do you follow the merits and demerits of Grandpa Huang?"

"This is a good opportunity. You should take this opportunity to reflect on your mistakes over the years in the memorial. Remember, you must be sincere and detailed."

"At the same time, spit out all the fields and tenants you have occupied, and dismiss the house slaves one by one."

"Especially your adopted sons, who are lawless and misbehaving on weekdays. All of them will be reviewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Anyone who breaks the law and discipline will be punished according to law!"

"You must consult the imperial court for the promotion and retreat of the lieutenant general and school, and the decision is made by the emperor's grandfather, and you can no longer manipulate it privately!"

"By the way, and your nine-foot-long dragon boat, deal with it immediately!"

"In short, in the memorial, I sincerely plead guilty to the emperor's grandfather, wait for the emperor's punishment, and promise that in the future, I will abide by the law, eat my salary, and enjoy peace!"

After speaking in one breath, Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Yu and said slowly, "Uncle, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection, I will do it!"

Sapphire looked serious and respectful, and clapped her hands and replied loudly.

so smooth?

Zhu Xiongying was secretly surprised.

But he didn't go into the details, since Lan Yu agreed, I hope he can follow through.

After all, Sapphire is famous for going in the left ear and exiting the right ear.

Maybe when he got out of this room, Lan Yu might throw what he just said out of the blue.

But since he agreed, the beating tonight has achieved his goal.

If he still insists on dying, then there is nothing he can do.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened a lot, saying: "Uncle, don't stand there, sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lan Yu responded, and sat down, there was no trace of anger on her face.

On the contrary, Lan Yu showed a gratified smile, looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said: "Your Highness, I remember, the last time I saw you, you were only this old." Saying this, Lan Yu gestured, " Your Highness has really grown up, taller than a minister!"

Sapphire's eyes made no secret of her love.

That gaze hit the soft spot in Zhu Xiongying's heart.

I am very fond of this uncle, but I don't have much affection.

But at that moment just now, he finally understood why his father Zhu Biao had to defend Lan Yu repeatedly, apart from his in-laws, Lan Yu's iron-blooded friendship and sincere heart really moved people's hearts.

From entering the house to the present, Lan Yu has always loved and cared for her aggressive junior.

It can be seen how much love he had for Zhu Biao at the beginning.

However, with this in mind, Zhu Xiongying didn't show too much emotion, because he didn't want his hard work just now to be ruined by a moment of soft-heartedness.

He also somewhat understood that what the old man taught him, he had to give to his courtiers, but he couldn't give too much, he had to keep it, otherwise they didn't know how to cherish it, and the same was true for their feelings. No wonder the emperors of all ages were lonely.

"Uncle, what you said just now was a bit extreme, but it's all from the heart of your nephew. I hope uncle can remember it in his heart."

"I understand."

Lan Yu smiled and nodded, then suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness, there is something that I would like to remind you of."

"Say." Zhu Xiongying said.

Lan Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Fourth Uncle King Yan, you haven't seen him yet, have you?"

"Not yet."

Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "But it should be soon."

Lan Yu nodded, and said slowly: "King Yan, I went to Mobei twice with me. When I was in Beiping, I observed his fiefdom. His every move is exactly the same as the emperor's."

As she said that, Lan Yu lowered her voice very low: "King Yan is not an ordinary person, sooner or later he will rebel, I have found others to look at him, and you have to be careful if you have the appearance of the emperor!"

"I said this to your father and king. Today, I want to remind His Highness one more time. Don't take it lightly."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying stroked his chin, thoughtful, and a vague figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Fourth Uncle Yan Wang?

I really want to meet you for a while...

……

Qianqing Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his day's government affairs, it was already late at night, and he was drinking the meat porridge prepared by the dining room alone.

At this time, Jiang Yu came in.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and said, "Let's talk."

Jiang Yu hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, after Lan Yu Lan Hai and the others left the celebration banquet, they went to Lan Yu's nine-foot-long dragon boat on the Qinhuai River, drank to vent their anger, and got completely drunk."

While chewing the minced meat in the porridge, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What are they venting their anger on?"

Jiang Yu hurriedly reported like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to drink porridge while listening.

It seems that what Sapphire and the others said did not surprise him.

"...After they dispersed, His Highness Changsun invited Lan Yu over alone."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bowl in his hand, picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth, showing a curious look: "What did you say? Tell us verbatim."

Jiang Yu started to pour the beans again.

"...His Highness Changsun said, if you still don't know how to repent, even if Grandpa Huang doesn't kill you, if I come to power, you will be the first one to kill!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled, and said, "Oh, good luck! He thought he could scare Lan Yu by doing this?"

"What else?"

Jiang Yu continued to report verbatim.

Zhu Yuanzhang was chewing sesame seed cakes with a smile all over his face, while listening with great interest.

"...Later, Sapphire agreed and said he would do it!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused the hand holding the biscuits, and said in a puzzled way, "Lan Yu agreed?"

Jiang Yu replied respectfully: "Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he said to himself: "Lanyu, Lanyu, you are really kind to our grandson. Once our grandson said that he was afraid that you would stain his future holy name, you agreed?"

"Ah--"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted softly: "Then why aren't you afraid of staining our holy name? Promise!"
