Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 357 Zhu Di: Dad, we are wronged!

Zhu Yunwen said again: "However, all the princes and uncles have heavy troops and silver mines overseas. If their strength is not reduced as soon as possible, what should we do if something goes wrong in the future?"

Huang Zicheng smiled softly and said, "Your Highness the Grandson of the Emperor, you can rest assured. Your Majesty's military strategy means that the kings have only guards and can only defend themselves. If there is a change, the six divisions can be used to supervise it. Who can resist it?"
The seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty were not weak, but they perished in the end.The forces of strength and weakness are different, and the principles of obedience and adversity are even more different! "

"What Mr. Huang said is absolutely true!"

Zhu Yunwen was immediately overjoyed, and all the worries in his heart were swept away.

Huang Zicheng thought for a while and then said: "However, King Yan now not only controls the army of Beiping Prefecture, but also controls the two vassal states of Korea and Japan. This has already exceeded the rule that nobles should not visit the people. Your Highness should be wary of King Yan!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng with an earnest look, "Mr. Huang, do you have any good ideas for educating orphans?"

This was very useful to Huang Zicheng, "His Royal Highness is the grandson of the Emperor, and now that His Majesty is dissatisfied, it is not appropriate to take any further actions.

However, there are countless civil and military officials in the court who want to enter His Highness’ sight..."

"Mr. Huang is indeed a loyal minister..."

……

immediately.

a few days later.

Before Zhu Di entered the capital, the courtiers no longer worried about the Yinshan incident in Japan, but began to search bit by bit for some of the illegal acts of Yan King Zhu Di in Beiping Mansion.

"These idiots!"

In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorials handed over to impeach King Zhu Di of Yan, and couldn't help but look furious again.

"Why doesn't that kid understand our painstaking efforts? Also, the fourth child has been attacking Goryeo and Japan these years, and has made it clear that he has no interest in this position. Why do you insist on holding on to the fourth child?

Is he so afraid of the fourth child..."

With his hair down, Erhu lowered his head and stood quietly in the darkness of the corner, like a transparent person.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget him, "Er Hu, where is the Fourth Brother now?"

Erhu hurriedly replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, His Highness King Yan is coming by boat. He should be able to arrive in the capital in the next day or two!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You personally take people to the dock and wait there. Don't let those bastards embarrass the fourth child. When the fourth child gets off the boat, bring him directly to see us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Erhu responded quickly!

Afterwards, he led a team of guards to the Capital Pier.

……

Yingtian City is close to the Yangtze River and is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the dock in Yingtian City is even more lively.

Every day, there are countless merchant ships traveling to and from the capital.

When Prince Zhu Biao was still alive, the secret cement recipe presented by Prince Yan's Mansion was first used to repair the dock.

Nowadays, Yingtian City's wharf is nearly twice as big as Zhangjiawan Wharf in Beiping Prefecture.

It is much more prosperous.

There are also many caravans in Prince Yan's Mansion. There is a special parking place for ships at Yingtian City Pier.

thus.

When the big ship Zhu Di was riding on had just docked at the shore, Erhu led a group of guards and surrounded it.

Seeing this, Liang Hu and a group of Yanshan guards drew out their steel knives with vigilance on their faces, which frightened the two tigers.

Zhu Di came out and scolded directly: "What are you doing? This is the commander of the bodyguards beside His Majesty. He is not a thief. How can you be so disrespectful?"

Hearing this, Liang Hu and others quickly sheathed their swords.

As for Erhu, he quickly saluted Zhu Di.

"The last general, Zhao Hu, has met His Royal Highness King Yan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... His Royal Highness the Prince of Gaoyang County..."

Zhu Di nodded slightly and chuckled: "Don't mind, Commander Zhao. We were worried that someone would cause trouble for us, so we brought a hundred guards.

But your father sent you to pick us up? "

"Your Highness is wise. When Your Majesty learned that His Highness King Yan was about to arrive, he specially sent his generals to greet His Highness, as well as all your young Highnesses!"

"Thank you, Commander Zhao. Let's enter the palace now!"

Zhu Di was not polite either. It would be best if he could save himself some trouble.

"Your Highness King Yan, all your young highnesses, please!"

……

As King Zhu Di of Yan was brought into the palace by the two tigers, all the ministers and dignitaries in the entire capital also got the news.

Suddenly, everyone was surprised.

"Prince Yan is already here?"

"What? King Yan also brought the crown prince Zhu Gaochi with him?"

"And there are two sons and three sons?... Why did King Yan bring all three of his sons to the capital?"

"He's not afraid of..."

"What does King Yan want to do?"

East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen also hurriedly found Huang Zicheng.

"Mr. Huang, can you guess why King Yan brought all his three sons to the capital?"

Huang Zicheng squinted his eyes slightly, with a solemn expression.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent and cannot guess the purpose of King Yan. However, King Yan is definitely not as simple as being summoned to the capital by His Majesty this time. He must have a plan!"

Zhu Yunwen panicked, "What should we do?"

Huang Zicheng said slowly: "Your Highness, please be patient. Your Highness is the grandson of the Emperor and no one can shake him!"

"Going to meet Grandpa Huang?"

"..."

And in Fengtian Hall.

After seeing Zhu Di walking in from outside the palace with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with joy, but then darkened.

Zhu Di also froze involuntarily. Thinking of his situation, he bit the bullet and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang with an aggrieved look on his face. "Fourth, meet daddy!"

On the side, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui all knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang with restraint.

"Sun Chen meets Grandpa Huang!"

"Humph!"

All they received in response was an angry snort.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi all trembled in unison.

"King Yan, you are so courageous!"

"father……"

Zhu Di raised his head and shouted with aggrieved face: "The fourth child is wrong!"

"Ok?"

Above, Zhu Yuanzhang's body froze and his eyes were slightly red.

However, the distance was too far and there were glasses blocking it, so Zhu Di and the others did not see it.

"Tell us, what mistake did you make?"

"..."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said with an aggrieved face: "Dad, the fourth child doesn't know, so please give me a beating!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "You bastard, your wings are stiff, how dare you act rogue with us?"

On the side, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui were stunned. They never expected that their father had such a rogue side.

Zhu Di blushed, still looking aggrieved, "Dad, I never thought about it!

In the past two years, in addition to conquering the Northern Yuan Tatars in the desert, I have concentrated on governing Beiping Prefecture, and then I have attacked Goryeo and Japan.

I know that I am not the eldest brother, but I also have these three boys, and I also want to wait until I grow old to leave some vassal states for these three boys that they can make their own decisions. "

"As for the Japanese country, there is indeed a mountain of silver. But, dad, I spent so much effort and sent so many Yanshan guards to attack the Japanese country, suppress the Japanese bandits, and mine silver.

Every year, he also donates 100 million taels of silver to his father.

There are only a few coins left in my hands..."

"And when I am in Beiping Prefecture, I have to lay cement roads, build social schools, build academies, crafts schools, medical schools, farms, research rice that can increase production, provide disaster relief and rescue people, and build houses for the people every year...

Dad, these all cost a lot of money. I have made a lot of money in the past few years, but I spend more every year on governing the people. I can’t save a lot of money at all..."

"Dad, if this doesn't work, I will bring all three boys from my family to the capital!
I also asked my father to reward me with a palace in the capital. I will let these three boys stay in the capital and not go back to Beiping.

Now, no one should be upset because of us..."

"To shut up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and threw the memorial in his hand at Zhu Di.

"You have become the King of Yan, and you have a good temper? You, the Prince of Yan, are the richest among the many vassal princes and have the most sophisticated soldiers. Why can't people be afraid of you?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but defended: "Dad, you can't just hold on to a mountain of silver. How much silver can be calcined every year? I have dedicated it all to dad. He also wants me to lose money and give it to him." ?
He is not the eldest brother..."

As he spoke, Zhu Di's expression changed and he quickly lowered his head.

Just in time, I saw the contents of the memorial on the ground.

"We heard that Prince Yan's Mansion sold two thousand acres of Beiping City walls in Beiping Mansion, making a profit of 50 taels of silver, exploiting people's money, and bullying Beiping Mansion officials..."

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly widened, "Dad, I'm just selling a ruined and useless city wall..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di froze in place, daring not to say a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when he had walked up to Zhu Di, staring at Zhu Di coldly with red eyes.

"Why, you, King Yan, are allowed to do some illegal things, but the officials in the court are not allowed to impeach you?
They made a fuss and got angry?

You also want to send the three boys from your Prince Yan's residence to the capital to serve as hostages to the court. Do you think we are also afraid of you, Prince Yan Zhu Di?

ah? …”

Zhu Di couldn't help but shudder and said loudly: "I feel wronged and depressed..."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little silent.

Inside the hall, there was a dead silence.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui already felt a little wet. They lowered their heads tightly and did not dare to breathe out.

half an hour.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "How are you doing?"

Zhu Di said slowly: "Dad, I want to ask for an edict!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang instantly squinted his eyes and stared at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di continued: "I am worried that after he takes office in the future, he will not be able to accommodate me in Prince Yan's palace.

Therefore, I would like to ask my father to give me an edict, allowing me not to be King of Yan, but to take the King of Yan's palace to go to Goryeo and Japan to join the vassal state, and the court cannot conquer my Goryeo, Yan and Japanese vassals. country! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a long time, and said with an incomprehensible expression: "You don't believe him so much?"

"Dad, he won't tolerate me anymore."

Zhu Di said helplessly, "If in a few years, Beiping Palace becomes more and more prosperous, and Prince Yan Palace also straightens out Goryeo, and then captures half of Japan, then he can't immediately raise troops to destroy our Prince Yan Palace?"

"Most of the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion are in Goryeo and Japan. If he wants to attack Prince Yan's Mansion, I can only take my whole family and run to Goryeo and Japan to avoid trouble!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. This matter was what worried him most.

Ok?
Suddenly, three young figures appeared in his eyes.

The chubby boy looked a bit like his idol, and the two boys next to him, with unruly faces and rogue expressions, looked a bit like his second, third, and fourth children...

Unable to bear it, he cursed loudly: "They are all a bunch of bastards!"

"what?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.
