Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 215 Gentle and Powerful

There are also two gates on the east and west sides of Fengtianmen, Zhaodemen in the east and Xuanzhimen in the west, which are the places where honorable and high-ranking officials have their breakfast.

Usually, the prince will also have meals at these two places with the ministers.First, to strengthen the relationship, and second, to understand their opinions on the early court in time.

Today, Zhu Biao had dinner at Zhaodemen, and after chatting with several princes, he humbly asked Duke Wei about the situation in Uzang.

Uzang is the administrative region established in Tibet by the Yuan Dynasty. Uzang refers to the front Tibet, and Zang refers to the back Tibet.After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this name was still used, and the Usi Tibetan Guard was established first.In the seventh year of Hongwu, he was promoted to the command and envoy of the Tibetan capital of Uzbekistan.

At the same time, the imperial court continued to grant official titles to the monks and laymen in the snowy area who came to pay tribute and submit to them, and divided and ruled them with the policy of "multiple feudal feudalism and public construction".

"But my minister bluntly said that the current distribution of enfeoffments is still too casual." Deng Yu then said rightly, "The emperor's general strategy of 'killing the power and dividing the power' may not be easy to work."

"Why?" The crown prince scooped up a bowl of noodle soup for Deng Yu himself, and sprinkled some crushed shrimp skins on it.

"Thank you, Prince." Deng Yu hurriedly took it with both hands, and then said slowly:
"The main reason is that the imperial court lacked skills and did not focus on Uszang. It still does not have a deep understanding of the characteristics of the place. Most monks and lay leaders in the snowy area were awarded official positions, but religious titles were rarely given to monk leaders.

"This is to weaken the influence of religion in the snow area, and use our Han official positions to emphasize the imperial court's rule over Uzbekistan. This is of course not wrong, but it is indeed inconsistent with the status quo of the snow area. It is difficult to get the leaders of the snow area, especially the religious The leader’s sincere support. Whether the snow area is chaotic or not, the lama has the final say..."

Deng Yu said with a sigh: "And in recent years, Hu Yuan's King Yu has frequently traveled south from Duogan to U-Si Tibet, hooked up with those dissatisfied lamas, and frequently caused troubles. This is the recent chaos in U-Si Tibet. frequent reasons."

"I've been taught." Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said, "Wei Guogong really not only knows soldiers, but also knows politics."

"The crown prince is over-rewarded. I'm not interested in political affairs, but the court is still one battle away from completely conquering Uzang. I just need to know myself and the enemy." Deng Yu smiled cautiously.

Although he knew that the prince had no malicious intentions, the emperor's generals and generals rushed to the Governor's Mansion from Zhongshu Province to prevent the generals from getting involved in the state affairs.Deng Yu was simple and meticulous, so naturally he wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Oh..." The crown prince was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood Deng Yu's intentions, and smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, Uncle Deng, this is my private consultation, and the law will not be passed on to others, let alone the emperor."

"I naturally believe in the prince." Deng Yu nodded and looked at the prince with a smile.

He knew that Zhu Biao had something to tell him.

Duke Wei watched all directions and listened to all directions. He had already discovered that Cao Guogong and Song Guogong had finished eating and left. Even the servants and officials of Guanglu Temple went down.

In the huge palace, only the prince and him were left.

Zhu Biao also looked at Deng Yu, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Prince Fang asked softly, "Uncle Deng has a brother-in-law named Cao De, right?"

"Yes." Deng Yu didn't change his face, but his heart sank little by little.

"What do you do for a living now?"

"Be a sesame official in charge of forage in the Beijing camp." Deng Yu said hastily.

"Isn't it important to be an official?" The prince smiled gently, "I heard that he still lives in Caijia Lane, so it can be seen that he is clean and honest."

"That's his old house..." Deng Yu's heart became more and more tense, and he had already guessed what the prince meant.

As a prince, he normally wouldn't care about the mere Cao family and the little Cai family alley.

Now that the prince is rambling, and finally pointed out these two problems, what other possibilities are there?
"Oh, is that so?" The crown prince lowered his head to scoop up a spoonful of noodle soup, smiled apologetically, and said with an apologetic smile, "Someone saw his son that day, his name was Cao Huan, right? He sent your third son out in Caijia Lane. I thought Cao Huan My family still lives there, so they have already moved.”

"Moved, I moved..." Deng Yu's back was already wet with sweat even though he had experienced many battles.Hearing the crown prince directly named Cousin Cao and Deng Duo, his head was buzzing, and there was no chance of any chance.

The prince was trying to save face for him, and didn't mention the name that would ruin the Deng family forever.

"Your Highness..." Deng Yu supported the table and was about to kneel down for the prince.

Zhu Biao held his wrist tightly, not letting him move.

"Old minister, you deserve death..." Deng Yu's lips moved, his face pale.

"Oh, don't talk about it." Zhu Biao sighed, squeezed Deng Yu's hand and said: "I don't know anything, and so is Father."

"Don't worry, Your Highness..." Deng Yu took a deep breath, his eyes were bloodshot and he said, "I'll just... clean up the house..."

"No." The crown prince shook his head resolutely, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Deng fought for my father, and the children of the family stayed in Nanjing for a long time. It is inevitable that they will lose discipline. You are responsible for this, and we are also responsible. It's all on the kids.

"Your Highness..." Deng Yu was hit at the weak point, tearfully said: "The old minister is guilty of letting her make mistakes again and again, until she becomes lawless and irreparable. Today I realize that habit is like killing a child! "

"Hey, how many heroes are in the hands of the sons and daughters?" The prince patted the back of Wei Guogong's hand and said:
"Besides, isn't this a formal engagement yet? She is not guilty of death. We must find a way to save her life."

"The prince benevolently forgives, the subject has nothing to repay, but only dies!" Deng Yu choked up and made an oath.

"Uncle Deng's loyalty to my father and son is unquestionable." The prince nodded and said, "That's why my father wanted to marry you and let our two families become relatives, but I didn't expect..."

"Oh, it's all that evil..." Deng Yu said in shame and indignation.

"Let's not talk about that." The prince waved his hand and said, "Is there any way?"

"I can only report to the emperor that she died of a sudden illness." Deng Yu said in a deep voice, "In short, there will no longer be such a person in this world, and the same is true for that Cao Huan. If Your Highness hears these two names again Appear, I apologize with death!"

"Don't embarrass Cao Huan. Let them change their identities, go to a place where no one knows, and live the life they want." The prince is not the kind of non-stick pan who is afraid of taking responsibility. Things, I will take care of them clearly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Deng Yu looked at the prince moved. He knew that even if the incident happened in the future and the emperor pursued it, the prince would bear the main responsibility.

Although Wei Guogong has always known that the prince is benevolent.

But benevolent people often lack responsibility.But the prince has both...

Having such an heir is really a blessing to the country and a blessing to the ministers.
