Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 330 The Prince
Empress Ma finally agreed to cook, and ordered a large bowl of hand-rolled noodles with chicken soup for Boss Zhu and the prince.

"Sister, let's have another bowl." Zhu Yuanzhang ate so deliciously that he couldn't tell at all that he was already sixty percent full elsewhere.

"Is it that delicious?" Queen Ma asked.

"It's delicious, of course it's delicious. We haven't eaten your cooking for half a year." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a greasy smile, "I can't sleep thinking about it."

As he spoke, he touched his cheeks and said, "Look, I've lost weight."

"Nonsense, so many people are scrambling to get you to eat, but they still can't feed you enough?" Queen Ma snorted.

"I can't compare, I can't compare." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coyly, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, mother-in-law, when will the second daughter-in-law be born?"

"It's almost the end of this month." Empress Ma sighed, "I dare not let her know what her man is doing."

"It's good not to know." Zhu Yuanzhang said more and more guilty: "Otherwise, you will be worried all day long, and it is easy to get pregnant."

"You have the nerve to say so." Empress Ma gave him a white look, then turned around and went to the kitchen to roll out noodles.

"Woo, it's not easy..." Seeing her back disappearing behind the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, "Your mother is taking too long this time."

"The main thing is that we are connected." The prince couldn't help but said: "The matter of the eldest sister is over, and the younger brothers are on the battlefield again."

"Just say, aren't their performances beautiful?!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked triumphantly.

"It's really unexpectedly beautiful." The crown prince nodded and said, "Especially the first skill of the fourth child, if Uncle Xu can give it to him, it must be indisputable!"

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his belly and said, "This is the military exploits achieved on the battlefield with swords and guns. It is much more convincing than last winter's performance."

He said with hatred: "During the Chinese New Year, those guys made fun of Bao'er for opening the back door for his cousin. Are they joking with Bao'er? They are pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man! They say we are putting gold on your brother's face !"

"It will definitely not happen this time. Uncle Xu is strict in governing the army, and he will never break the rules of the army for the sake of his brothers." The prince laughed.

"En." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily: "No one will question Tiande... Boss, you will publish the battle report tomorrow! If you understand it, you will understand it."

"Yes, father." Zhu Biao nodded. He knew that father had been under great pressure due to the star change.

Especially after Ye Boju's "Yingzhao Chenyanshu" was circulated, all the officials in the court did not dare to respond openly, but they wrote to rescue them one after another.Even the treacherous and cunning Hu Weiyong publicly stated at the court meeting that it was the emperor himself who decreed that "speak the truth, and the speaker is innocent".

Now that some people "respond to the imperial edict and make a statement", even if there are wild and unreasonable words, they should not be "criminal for their words".

In the words of Prime Minister Hu, "Ye Boju is as light as a feather, whether he is alive or dead."But the emperor turned his back on his words and broke his promise to the world, which is more important than Mount Tai! '

As a result, Boss Zhu was very passive.After Ye Boju was escorted to Beijing, he didn't shoot him to death with his own hands as he wished, and he didn't even see him.

Now, by publicizing the illustrious military exploits made by the princes, it should be able to basically eliminate the negative impact of Ye Bo's huge case on the younger brothers...

'But it's hard to say...' The crown prince shook his head secretly, thinking that what those people were worried about was that the vassal king would become bigger and threaten the court.The more the younger brothers can fight, the more worried they will be.

"Boss." The prince was distracted when Zhu Yuanzhang called out.

"Father." He hurriedly collected himself.

"You should be the most clear about why dad divided the kings." After all, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to talk to the prince about this issue, so as not to create a estrangement between father and son.

"Yes." The crown prince nodded and said: "One is to achieve a smooth transfer of military power, and the other is to allow the clan to guard the border for the country." After a pause, he said: "If a minister rebels, he can also be ordered to suppress the rebellion."

"That's right, father and emperor are all for our old Zhu family's country, so we can sit more firmly." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and lowered his voice:
"But dad has been thinking for a while, is it too much power for your younger brother? Shouldn't it be possible to reduce it a little while they are still in the kingdom? It's much easier than cutting them after they are in the country. .”

"Father, you mustn't." Zhu Biao quickly got up and cupped his fists and said, "The younger brothers have just made great achievements, but instead of being rewarded, they were deprived of power. This will make them chilling!"

After a pause, the prince resolutely said: "No matter how good our brothers' relationship is, we can't treat them like this! Otherwise, as an older brother, I will have no face to see them again!"

"Oh, don't worry, sit down and talk." Zhu Yuanzhang took his arm, let the prince sit down and said, "We didn't say to do it right away. This matter will be discussed in two years. It's finally over, right? "

"It's best not to talk about it." The prince resolutely said: "I understand my younger brothers, they will not have second thoughts about me. If they are domineering, I will teach them a lesson. He called back to the capital and gave him orders."

"Even if it is to reduce their power, I will do it myself." He smiled lightly, with a strong self-confidence in his smile: "Father, you don't have to worry about things between us brothers. If I, Zhu Biao, You can't even manage your own younger brother, so don't be a prince and inherit a country."

"Hahaha, well said!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said, "This is our good prince!"

In fact, Boss Zhu said that he wanted to 'reduce the power of feudal princes', but he was not willing.But he didn't want to create a estrangement with the prince, and let the prince feel that he didn't think of him, so he said those words.

Now seeing Zhu Biao with thunder in his chest and his face as flat as a lake, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved.

I still underestimated my boss.

"But we have to remind you." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "You can't ignore this issue too much. With us and you, it's easy to say, and no one can make a difference. But you have to think about it. What about your son? He Will uncle still bow to him like he did to you?"

"I've found a good helper for Xiongying." Zhu Biao also whispered.

"The sixth?" Zhu Yuanzhang guessed it right away. After thinking for a while, Fang nodded slowly and said, "He is indeed the most suitable."

"What's wrong with Lao Liu?" At this moment, Empress Ma came in with a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, and said vigilantly, "Zhu Chongba, you want Lao Liu to take risks again?"

"We didn't say anything." Zhu Yuanzhang called out to Tianqu and said, "When we mention our sons in love, we want to push them into the fire pit? Who do you think we are? If you don't believe me, ask the boss."

"Mother, it's true that there is no one. I mentioned the sixth child." The prince relieved Zhu Yuanzhang before he ate the second bowl of noodles.
