People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Lao Zhu sighed. After being silent for many days, he suddenly regained his former energy.

The high-spirited Emperor Hongwu seemed to be back again.

"Close the Internet cafe!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Zhu could feel the gloom and murderous aura in him just by being close to him these days.

Now that it is completely released, it is actually a good thing.

"This Shuntian Mansion is going to be a river of blood..."

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but sigh as he watched the emperor's back disappear at the top of the stairs.

"No, the world is about to burst into rivers of blood..."

When Zhang Yi corrected Yao Guangxiao, the master and disciple looked at each other.

In fact, the two of them couldn't do anything but watch the show with Zhu Yuanzhang!
  ……

Hu Weiyong brought Lan Yu to his home and hosted a banquet for Lan Yu in person.

After three rounds of drinking, Lan Yu's attitude gradually became more public.

Like Hu Weiyong, he has endured too hard these years.

Especially after knowing that the emperor was also involved in handling Chang Mao's death, he was even more cautious.

He was originally a domineering person, but he really opened his mind at this time.

"Hu Xiang, I offer you this glass of wine. If it weren't for you, I, Lan Yu, would never have had the chance to kill my enemy with my own hands...

It's a pity that his death was so smooth. I can't wait to dig him out and smash his bones into ashes! "

Hu Weiyong smiled slightly:
  "General Lan, if you want to do this, it may not be easy.

In the ruins of Wuying Hall, their bodies had long been burned clean.

Even the emperor, if he hadn't found an unburnt dragon robe on a corpse, he might not even be able to distinguish the ashes.

Anyway, the person is dead, so you can calm down!

From now on, there will still be many truths, and we have to rely on the general. Let’s look forward..."

Lan Yu thought so and offered Hu Weiyong another glass of wine.

"But I really don't understand my hatred. If I can't kill Zhang Yi, I will kill his whole family, his wife and daughter..."

Lan Yu was still aggrieved, Hu Weiyong said:
  "Zhang Yi's wife and daughter and the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain cannot be touched for the time being. Mrs. Zhang is Xu Da's daughter. If we don't capture Xu Da, we won't be able to touch his people.

As for those people in Longhu Mountain, their true identities are still useful, so keep them for now!

But it's not impossible for the general to vent his anger. Xu Miaoyun, Zhang Yi's three women, can't touch them, and Guanyin Nu can't touch Wang Baobao even if he wants to win over them!

But he also has a wife who is also pretty and lovely.

She turned around and asked someone to take her away and send her to the general's mansion! "

Lan Yu was overjoyed when she heard this. He didn't like a woman, but he had to say this.

Hu Weiyong was so upright, Lan Yu was naturally overjoyed.

"If Zhu Di wins, Zhu Ping won't be able to make any waves overseas, not to mention that the main force in Japan is my brother-in-law..."

Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I promise to persuade my brother-in-law to surrender! "

Lan Yu drank some wine and started bragging.

Hu Weiyong smiled. This was one of the reasons why he attracted Lan Yu in the first place.

Now that the Chang family has been dragged into the water by him, the other generals, with Li Shanchang coming forward, will most likely accept the reality.

Only Xu Da is Lan Yu's biggest worry.

But Hu Weiyong had his own plans in mind.

The worst case scenario is to attack from both front and back and cooperate with the Mongols to swallow up Xu Da's army.

He could give up the city of Beijing and transfer the wealth here back to Nanjing.

Although Hu Weiyong likes this city, he does not want to live here permanently.

The so-called emperor guarding the country is a joke made by the Zhu family.

A gentleman is on the right path if he does not stand behind dangerous walls.

But there is no rush now. If the generals in the north are not stabilized, he will be very uncomfortable even if he moves south.

“Of course it’s good to have General Lan help!

But now there is nothing to fear from the overseas armies.

The urgent need now is Wei Guogong Xu Da..."

Mentioning Xu Da, Lan Yu sobered up a bit.

"I wonder if General Lan can stop Xu Da's army?"

Hu Weiyong stared at Lan Yu, Lan Yu's heart beating violently.

Is Hu Weiyong preparing to hand over military power to himself?

He was a warrior and took refuge with Hu Weiyong. He originally thought that the other party would beat him for a while.

"What Xu Da can do, I, Lan Yu, can naturally do..."

"very good!"

Hu Weiyong excitedly patted Lan Yu on the shoulder and said:
  "If you work hard, you, Lan Yu, will definitely be the king of the world in the future!"

"I'm afraid I shouldn't call you a fool at that time..."

Lan Yu's words made Hu Weiyong elated, and he couldn't wait for that day to come.

However, since I came from a literary background, I still have to continue to follow the routine.

"Sir, it's getting late. I'm going to see my sister!"

Lan Yu bid farewell to Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong also gave numerous instructions:

"General Lan, don't delay tomorrow's morning meeting!"

The early court meeting was naturally the day when Hu Weiyong conferred Lan Yu, and it was also the day to set an example for other soldiers in the world.

He felt that since the success of the rebellion, his path had become smoother and smoother.

Li Shanchang can help him slowly persuade others to surrender.

Raising the blue jade can also further stimulate those generals who are waiting and watching.

He was already thinking about what imperial edict he would write tomorrow and leave it to the little emperor...

The sky in Shuntian Mansion gradually darkened.

Lan Yu came to Chang Mansion drunk.

"elder sister……"

"younger brother……"

The two siblings were relatively speechless.

"After much thought, I still think the master will blame me when he comes back!"

"It's your fault. Chang Yuchun can't even protect his son. Who has the right to blame you?"

Lan Yu interrupted his sister and shouted:

"He Chang Yuchun dares to look down on my sister Lan Yu?
  Sister, just watch, it’s not me, Lan Yu, who will rely on him to live my life from now on, but my brother-in-law will be protected by me..."

He was drinking like crazy, making Lan Shi angry and laughing at the same time.

"You bastard, you don't say anything big or small...

Someone, help the general to bed quickly! "

She was made a joke by Lan Yu and her mood improved a lot.

She knew the relationship between Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang, so Lan also expected that Chang Yuchun would definitely blame herself.

But so what, there are people in her natal family, which is the greatest confidence.

The emperor is dead, and so is his daughter...

Don’t you care if you are different?

Lan Yu was carried to the wing by a servant. Not long after, she heard the maid crying.

Lan's eyes widened and he said to the servant:

"Why don't you get out quickly!"

"Madam, save me..."

Lan ignored her personal maid's plea for help and closed the door.

Cries echoed in the night sky.

What they didn't notice was that someone had been lurking aside, silently recording everything that happened tonight.

……

On the second day, early morning.

In the Huagai Palace, Hu Weiyong handed the imperial edict he had written to the young emperor to read.

Zhu Tan held a large national seal in his hand, but was unwilling to seal it.

"Your Majesty, do you have any questions?"

Zhu Tan shook his head and said:
  "He beat my fourth brother, he is a bad person..."

Although Zhu Tan is young, she can still read and write.

When he saw the name Lan Yu, he was instantly unhappy.

Hu Weiyong said with a straight face:
  "How did you know about this?"

"The people in the palace are talking about..."

"Come on!"

Hu Weiyong shouted outside, and Ling Shuo walked in.

"As a slave, but I don't know etiquette, I should be killed..."

His words determined the life or death of the eunuchs around Zhu Tan. One of them was his father-in-law who had been taking care of him.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Don't kill Eunuch Wu, why don't I listen to you..."

The servants' begging for mercy and the little emperor's cries shook the Huagai Hall.

Hu Weiyong waved his hand, Ling said he understood, and dragged the old man out.

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good. Your brother wants to kill you. Why are you begging her for mercy?"

"Fourth brother will not kill me..."

Zhu Tan shook his head desperately and retreated.

Hu Weiyong looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to go to court. He picked up the imperial seal that the little emperor had dropped and stamped it on the imperial edict.

“But your highness, you must kill your fourth brother!
  Since ancient times, there can only be one emperor.

From the moment you take the seat of this emperor, even if you don't want to, you still have no room for change! "

How could Zhu Tan, a child, withstand Hu Weiyong's threat?

He burst into tears, and Hu Weiyong asked someone to open the door.

Eunuch Wu, whom Zhu Tan desperately wanted to save, was trembling, and his face was covered with scars...

"I'll give you a little lesson, for His Majesty's sake.

You are responsible for appeasing the emperor and sending him to court! "

Hu Weiyong took Ling Shuo away, leaving only the little emperor and the old eunuch crying.

"I don't want to be the emperor, I want my father..."

As a young prince, he could not help but be influenced by his mother, and he had fantasies about the position of the only great treasure in the palace.

But when he really sat down in this position, Zhu Tan felt the emperor's difficulty.

He was crying bitterly when suddenly a hand was placed on him.

"Old Shi, stop crying!"

"Father!"

"emperor!"

Zhu Tan and the old eunuch raised their heads, and their whole bodies were shaken!
  ……

"It's destiny, the emperor says..."

Fengtian Hall, on the court hall.

The eunuch is reading about the reward for blue jade...

Granted the title of prime minister and the title of nobility.

A set of procedures, smooth and smooth.

Baiguan looked at Lan Yu with complicated expressions.

They admired Hu Weiyong's methods very much.

Lan Yu is a standard princeling, and his brother-in-law is Chang Yuchun. He should have been the main force in the crusade against Hu Weiyong along with Xu Da and Zhu Di.

But who would have thought that besides Jin Yiwei, this Hu Xiang could win over even a general like Lan Yu.

As the first border general to surrender Hu Weiyong, Hu Wei would naturally not be stingy with Lan Yu's reward.

And Lan Yu reciprocated the favor, giving Hu Weiyong enough face.

"Bring the traitor Zhu Di!"

Hu Weiyong gave the eunuch who was reading the edict a look, and the next step immediately became the trial of Zhu Di.

Ling said he escorted him personally and came up with Zhu Di, who was already in tatters and looked shabby.

Walking to Fengtian Hall, Ling Shuo shouted:
  "The guilty minister kneels down!" Zhu Di Bugui became angry and hit Zhu Di hard on the neck with the back of his knife.

Zhu Di staggered and was about to kneel down, but he blocked it with one foot.

"Old Shi, are you treating your fourth son like this?"

Although there is a big age difference between Zhu Di and Zhu Tan, he has a lively nature and his brothers all like him.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but call Fourth Brother after listening to Zhu Di's words.

When Hu Weiyong saw the scene in front of him, he was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he glared at Zhu Tan fiercely.

Immediately, he stood up and said:
  "Zhu Di, you don't respect the late emperor's edict and have evil intentions. How can you show your brother's face in front of the emperor?

I urge you to plead guilty quickly. Maybe you can find a way to survive? "

"The late emperor's edict?"

Zhu Di laughed loudly when he heard this, and his laughter echoed in Fengtian Hall...

"What a great edict from the late emperor. Hu Weiyong, you kill my father and we are brothers.

Why couldn't I see that you were a dog official?
  How did my father die? Who among you here doesn't know very well?
  Everyone talks about being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but they are all rebellious villains.

Why do you have the nerve to mention the late emperor in front of me? "

Zhu Di's angry output made the officials present look a little confused.

He turned his head and looked at Li Shanchang:
  "Mr. Li, I didn't expect to see you here...

Do you remember the friendship between your father and you back then? "

He pointed to the left direction of Fengtian Hall and asked:

"Have you ever seen my father's resentful spirit in Wuying Palace?"

Li Shanchang was flushed by Zhu Di.

He was not willing to take refuge with Hu Weiyong, but was forced by the situation to have no choice.

Zhu Di's questioning made most officials in the DPRK feel ashamed.

It is true that they were dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang, but loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were still one of the core ideas of Confucian education.

No matter what, they knew how Zhu Yuanzhang died,

Naturally, one cannot ignore the guilt in his heart.

"Zhu Di, who do you think you are?"

Zhu Di angrily scolded all the civil servants in the court and became speechless.

Seeing this, Lan Yu was eager to show off to Hu Weiyong and said directly:
  "You are just a criminal, how dare you speak arrogantly here?"

Zhu Di looked at him coldly:
  "Lanyu, what kind of thing are you?

How many capital crimes have you committed? If your father and brother hadn't released you, you would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago.

Your father will train you as the next generation of military commander, and your brother will treat you as a confidant.

But in the end, you treat them like this, bah...

Talking to you is simply humiliating me, Zhu Di! "

Lan Yu is the one who cannot be ridiculed the most. When he heard this, he became angry and embarrassed:
  "Even that bitch Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of telling me to show mercy, so is he?

I'm just a strong woman, what's wrong?
  Why didn't he say anything when he snatched Yang Xisheng's wife?

As an emperor, you can't do this or that by your side.

If I work as a dog for your old Zhu family, I won’t be able to get enough dog food.

The other adults are too lazy to talk about your Lao Zhu family's affairs out of consideration for their feelings, but this general can't bear it."

Since ancient times, people have been promoted and made rich.

What can you get by being a dog to your old Zhu family?
  Talking about those untouchables all day long is nothing more than unwilling to share the world with us.

This kind of dog emperor deserves to be killed even if he is killed! "

When he spoke, the whole court was in an uproar.

Lan Yu started criticizing like crazy, and even Hu Weiyong couldn't stop him.

Although everyone knew that the emperor died because of rebellion, everyone tacitly covered up the matter.

Lan Yu's words stimulated Zhu Di and these people.

They wanted face, so they all glared at Lan Yu.

No matter what, everyone still has to pretend to save face, especially the little emperor of the Zhu family who is still watching from above.

A reckless man is a reckless man.

Even Hu Weiyong was dissatisfied with Lan Yu.

However, they also agreed with Lan Yu's words.

Working under Lao Zhu is indeed far worse than before.

As an official, who expects that salary to survive?

But the existence of Zhu Yuanzhang and Jin Yiwei made them extinguish their thoughts. For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, it was a pity to throw away the food that was tasteless and was the most suitable.

For a time, the hatred towards Lan Yu among the officials was no longer so great.

"Hahahaha!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he looked up to the sky and smiled:

"You say you are serving the country and the people, but in fact you are just scoundrels who are corrupt for fame and fortune. If my father has wronged you, then forget about your own glory and wealth.

My father has three meals a day, vegetables and onions all year round. How much better is his life than you?

That's right, my Zhu family has delayed your good life..."

What he said made the people present a little angry, but they had nothing to say.

They can hack Zhu Yuanzhang and other things, but they can't hack Lao Zhu's life.

The emperor lived a simple life, which was even better than that of officials like them.

They really have no way to blame Lao Zhu on this issue.

Zhu Di suppressed everyone present. Ling Shuo was furious when he saw this.

He kicked Zhu Di to the ground again and said:

"I'm just a single man, so nice to say!"

Ling Shuo's actions may seem reckless, but they can be regarded as helping the civil officials present to get out of trouble.

Hu Weiyong glanced at Li Shanchang and said with emotion:
  "It is not an exaggeration to say that the word "lone husband" falls on Your Majesty..."

Others originally planned to comment on Lao Zhu, but were ignited by Zhu Di, and those officials all agreed:
  "The debate between Mr. Li and His Majesty back then is not an exaggeration..."

It was Wang Guangyang who spoke, but he brought Li Shanchang with him both inside and outside his words.

All the officials looked at Li Shanchang, waiting for him to give a conclusion.

In this campaign to slander the late emperor, someone must stand up to carry the flag.

Everyone is just maggots eating on Zhu Yuanzhang's body, there is no reason why he should stay out of it.

Li Shanchang moved his lips and said:
  "really!"

These words were like a knife in the ears of someone behind Fengtian Hall.

“My lords, let’s not mention this matter.

What we want to discuss now is how to deal with the guilty minister Zhu Di..."

Hu Weiyong saw that everyone's mood was almost calmed down, so he brought the topic back to Zhu Di.

"Zhu Di disobeyed the emperor and intended to rebel. He should be punished!"

In order to show off, Lan Yu was the first to stand up and speak.

After he finished speaking, there was silence in Fengtian Hall for a while. After a while, Wang Guangyang stood up and said:
  "Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The Fengtian Palace was full of ministers who stood up and voiced their opinions.

Even though some people had some sympathy for Zhu Di, his map cannon just now ignited everyone's anger.

Li Shanchang looked at Manchao's second voice with a dazed expression.

But everyone's eyes naturally stayed on him.

He thought for a moment and bowed:

"Seconded!"

Sitting on the throne, the little emperor was restless, and Hu Weiyong was afraid that he would cause something wrong again.

He took the initiative to stand up and said:

"If that's the case, let's do it!

Are there any adults who object? "

He put on a show and looked around.

The officials who met his eyes lowered their heads.

No one in this hall dared to oppose Hu Weiyong, and most of those who opposed him were imprisoned.

"Okay, then the truth..."

"I object!"

"Who is against it?"

"Who dares to object?"

A discordant sound came out in Fengtian Hall before everyone had time to react.

Ling Shuo and Lan Yu, the two losers, jumped up first.

But they suddenly realized something, and their faces instantly turned pale.

Looking back at Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and others were also trembling.

"I object, do you have any objections?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked out from the back of Fengtian Hall.

As if under a spell, everyone was petrified on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang, why does he appear here? Isn't he dead?
  The appearance of Lao Zhu made Fengtian Palace as quiet as death, and the officials didn't know how to react.

There was no trace of anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but he looked at everyone with a playful expression:

"Very good..., after I die this time, I can see many things that I can't see..."

"emperor!"

Finally, some officials reacted, and their spirits were shaken.

In Fengtian Hall, people fell to their knees again.

Some people couldn't even kneel down. The moment they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they were so frightened that they urinated.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"

Someone finally reacted and began to kneel down and kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Where there was the first, there was the second. For a moment, almost everyone knelt down.

The only ones left on the ground were Hu Weiyong, who was completely dumbfounded, Li Shanchang and Wang Guangyang, as well as generals such as Ling Shuo and Lan Yu.

"Father!"

When Zhu Di saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he could hardly believe it. He instinctively wanted to run forward, but Hu Weiyong shouted:
  "Stop him!"

Besides, with quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Di was quickly detained.

At this time, he also reacted and shouted:
  "Come on!"

From the moment he embarked on the path of rebellion, Ling Shuo also understood that he had no way out.

But his shouting turned into impotent rage.

Outside the main hall, there should have been people loyal to them, but there was no news.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored these clowns and looked at Li Shanchang quietly.

"My husband argued with me that day and called me a loner!
  Although I am angry, I also understand that your husband’s position is different from mine.

We have different positions, that’s okay!

At least our friendship of more than ten years together is still there..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was calm, but it fell into the hearts of everyone in Fengtian Hall like sharp knives.

Not only Li Shanchang, but also Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong, as well as many officials in the court, they were all old people who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang from the Zhizheng period.

The emperor was talking about Li Shanchang, but he also hit them.

Li Shanchang stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, unable to speak for a long time. Later, he let go and simply said:
  "Your Majesty, everyone has his or her own position, there is nothing we can do about it!"

"I understand your position, but betrayal is betrayal!

If it weren't for the sake of seeing the answer, I would have ended this farce long ago..."

There was also a hint of sadness in Lao Zhu's eyes.

Only in the end, this ray of sadness turned into the most powerful murderous intention.

Almost at the same time, all the doors outside Fengtian Hall were opened, and soldiers in armor had already surrounded Fengtian Hall.

Li Shanchang closed his eyes in despair.

"For the sake of our old friendship, I will ask you, sir, to go on your way first!
  I guess Mr. Lai doesn’t like to see the scene behind! "

Lao Zhu signaled with his eyes that Zhou Tong, who had been behind him, took the initiative to walk over and handed Li Shanchang a dagger.

Li Shanchang's face turned dark. (End of chapter)
