Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 574 Terror Comes

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had already changed his sacrificial attire and put on the dragon robe again.

He watched his four sons salute to him with a serious expression, and after they got up, he said to the second and third child first: "Clean up and go back to the fief."

"Yes, Royal Father." The two hurriedly replied respectfully.

"After the two of you go back, you are not allowed to harass the place anymore, and you must concentrate on training your troops." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "We are going to start next year, and let you two lead the army out of the fortress to fight Bei Yuan!"

"Yes." The voices of the two brothers were much louder this time, which has always been their dream.What's more, they messed around in the local area, mostly because they couldn't release their vigorous energy.

"During military training, you should love your soldiers like children, and you are not allowed to beat and scold soldiers at will. You should ask generals at all levels for advice and get closer to them." Zhu Yuanzhang taught meaningfully:

"There are three elites in my Daming Frontier Army, and they belong to the restraint of you two and King Yan. We don't worry about King Yan having Xu Da on his side. What we worry about is whether the two of you can hold back the gang of arrogant soldiers under our respective hands. Titans?"

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "It would be great if Deng Yu was here."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was not very worried about King Jin's journey. Although the youngest was not as likable as he was when he was young, he was wise and brave, and worthy of a great responsibility.With him in Shanxi, there should be no trouble.

What really worried him was King Qin's journey.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang matched Deng Yu for the second child. Based on the relationship between the two men, there should be no serious problems in Shaanxi.But once Deng Yu died, Mu Ying was still young, so she couldn't hold back that domineering general Lan Yu at all.

Whether the second child can reconcile the contradiction between the two is related to whether he can establish prestige among the Shaanxi frontier army and become their recognized coach.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no clue about this.After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Well, let's let Wang Bi go over and serve as the deputy general of Zhengxi with Lan Yu. He was the vanguard of King Kaiping back then, and Lan Yu admired him the most."

"Then will he team up with Lan Yu to deal with Brother Wenying?" The third child asked worriedly.

"No more." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the sixth son who was hesitant to speak, and said narrowly, "He is already a member of the sixth son in our family. As long as the second son treats him well, he will not be in trouble with Lan Yu."

"The sixth child took down Marquis Dingyuan?" The third child was pleasantly surprised.

"Father was joking, there are no people who belong to me, they are all from Father." Lao Liu hurriedly smiled and said:
"The Marquis of Dingyuan is generally loyal and patriotic, and he has no complicity in Jiangxi, which is enough to show that he is qualified for a big job... But my father and I want to invite Marquis Dingyuan to Suzhou. If you send him to Shaanxi, who will help me?" Repairing the palace?"

"You're messing around. It's the father-in-law who repairs the palace. You ask Wang Bi to repair the palace for you, uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down at the sixth child and said, "You don't think you have a crush on his daughter, do you?"

"That's impossible." Before the sixth child could speak, the fourth child immediately said, "He's already had a drink with my father-in-law and dated my sister-in-law."

"Ah..." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused: "Liu Liu, you also want to be Tiande's son-in-law? Then what about your master..."

"Father, I got off topic." Rao Liu was as thick-skinned as a city wall, and panicked from embarrassment. "Don't forget Yee agreed to the conditions of my son."

"What did we promise you?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he had amnesia, and he almost broke Lao Liu's defense.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about personal matters today." Fortunately, a prince brother stepped forward and said: "It doesn't matter if the father sent Marquis Dingyuan to Xi'an, let him leave his family in Beijing, and the sixth child will have no objections."

Lao Liu thumped his chest and pointed at the prince.

'Brother, you know me...'

"Okay, for the sake of the sixth son, we agree." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed quite simply.Because according to the regulations, the generals of the frontier army are not allowed to bring their family members.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the second and third sons some more instructions, such as being considerate of the people's strength and understanding of the people's sentiments, before letting him go.

Then he said to the third child: "Jinyiwei will be of great use this year. It will always be inconvenient if you are not in Beijing. After you go back, hand over all the affairs of Jinyiwei to the fourth child."

"Father, didn't you say that the sixth child will take over from me?" The third child was not willing to make a wedding dress for the fourth child.

"Lao Liu has other errands this year." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Over Jin Yiwei, he can continue to serve as Lao Si's deputy, so that he won't take much energy from him, and can also help Lao Si make suggestions."

"Oh, I understand." The third child responded feebly, as if the cabbage he had raised had been swallowed by a pig.

"If it wasn't for the father's order, who would take care of your mess." The fourth child muttered from the side.

"Before you leave the capital, you should make it clear to the fourth child. Time waits for no one, and we will need them soon." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice again and ordered.

"Yes, father!" The third child became serious.

"Go." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and after the third child went out, he gave the order to the fourth child: "After you take over the Jinyiwei, you must start as soon as possible, try to send eyeliner to all the ministers, civil and military families above the fourth rank—— "

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what method you use, you have to let us know who they met, what they said, and what they wrote! There is no mistake, understand. Yet?!"

"Understood!" The fourth child replied loudly.

"Sixth brother, don't stay out of it. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Fourth brother alone will definitely not be able to do it." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at sixth brother again and said: "You also help your fourth brother."

"Yes..." Lao Liu smiled wryly in his heart, and answered.

If possible, he really didn't want to take this bad job.There are many ways to collect intelligence, but the method of sending detailed information to all ministers' offices is unprecedented.

Even Wu Zetian at that time never thought of conducting indiscriminate "human surveillance" on all ministers...

If this is brought to light, it will be the public enemy of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

The prince also had a look of astonishment on his face, because his father did not get angry with him about this matter.After a moment's hesitation, he finally said, "Father, think twice. Once this case is made, our officials in the Ming Dynasty will be completely in danger, and everyone will be in danger."

"Isn't that good?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "It's better than them being daring and colluding and losing their heads in the end."

"Father..." The prince was speechless.This is far from his ideal of enlightened politics.Even if it is just a stop-gap measure, it goes too far.

"We have already decided on this matter, you don't need to say more." Zhu Yuanzhang rarely did not give the prince face, and raised his voice:
"Don't you understand what happened in Jiangxi? The current group of officials is rotten, and you can't expect anything from them. If only fear can make them understand the rules, then let's give them the greatest fear. This is their ask for it!"
