Chapter 32
What Hongwu ministers didn't expect was that after seeing Lan Yu's contribution to planting sweet potatoes, Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing about rehabilitating Lan Yu.

This puzzled the ministers.

"Did His Majesty say that yesterday, he seemed to have mistakenly blamed Duke Liang?"

Fu Youde asked Xu Da quietly, because they were closest to the emperor, and he heard it anyway, but looking at the emperor's meaning today, it seemed that he had forgotten what he said yesterday.

Of course Xu Da heard it, but the Zhu Yuanzhang he knew would not admit his mistake or defeat so easily!

If he gave up so easily, then he would not be Zhu Yuanzhang!
Even though the Lan Yu case is very clear, it is difficult to completely overturn the case.

"Don't say a few words."

Xu Da warned Fu Youde with his eyes to be patient and calm.

Sure enough, after the routine, Lao Zhu announced the disbandment of the court.

Xu Da raised his eyebrows at Fu Youde. Look, it is indeed Zhu Yuanzhang!Don't admit it if you fall out!

How could he give up so easily!Admit your mistake!
In order to avoid unnecessary mistakes, the ministers still stayed in Qianqing Palace to drink tea and chat, but Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace and summoned Zhu Di alone.

Some things are better for father and son to talk alone.

"Good morning, Father."

Zhu Di had calmed down, and he greeted Lao Zhu.

"Fourth, come and sit."

"Father?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di's unruffled facial expression, pondered for a while, and finally asked;
"What do you think of what Lan Yu said, especially the words about Du Da, the feudal lord?"

Zhu Dicheng was terrified. He didn't know what his father meant.
He looked at his father carefully, swallowed secretly, and finally expressed his opinion in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes:
"Father, I really didn't want to rebel after my eldest brother died. My loyalty to the emperor is worthy of admonishment!"

Although Madman Lan was right, in front of his suspicious father, he could not admit his rebellious intentions even to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows were bright and he had no choice but to reiterate again:

"I'm asking you, what do you think of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty?
Do you know why I had to kill Lan Yu?

Do you think I don’t know how to kill Lan Yu and that kid Yunwen can’t suppress you vassal kings? ! "

Zhu Di really couldn't understand what his father wanted to do. Anyway, he couldn't say that he had any objections even if he was bitten to death.

Wasn't he killing Lan Yu just to clear the way for that trash?

He had no choice but to express his loyalty again:

"Father, if you take ten thousand steps back, we are really going to reach the point that Duke Liang said. I think...

Erchen is fully capable of controlling other brothers. Even if he suppresses them, they will not be cut off from their livelihood. After all, blood is thicker than water. "

After speaking, the sweat on Zhu Di's head flowed down his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this fourth child would not tell him what was in his heart.

I could only lament:
"Hey, how do you understand?! If you understood, we wouldn't need to take such pains!

I would rather bear the notoriety of slaughtering loyal ministers, but also raise the butcher knife and aim it at those old guys who have been through life and death. "

Looking at his father's hatred, Zhu Di was helpless.

Deep down in his heart, he was happy to see his father kill those heroes and generals, since he was no match for them anyway.

As the saying goes, if you have a sharp weapon, you will definitely have a murderous intention!If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences!
Lan Yu was right. When the prince's eldest brother died, he had the ambition to ascend to the throne of God.

But only when his father raised his butcher knife against the Lanyu Group did he feel that his chance had truly come!
Even if Zhu Yunwen does not use iron fist to cut down the vassal, he will find an opportunity to realize his revenge, because no one in the court can contain him anymore.

And he is absolutely sure that he can control the other brothers.

He thought that his father would not see into his heart, but he was wrong!

"Do you think I don't know the impact that the feudal king will have on the court? Hey, even if Lan Yu goes to heaven now, he won't understand!"

Zhu Di was completely lost in the fog.Why does it sound so messy? "Fourth brother, we know that you have always had ambitions, and we also know that you will not rebel against your elder brother.

We know better that if we leave, without Lan Yu, you will be the biggest threat to the new emperor.

But you know that even though we understand these powerful connections, why do we still kill them? "

Zhu Di shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang said painfully:

"Hey, it's better to cause chaos among the feudal lords than to suppress the royal family!"

"Uncle and nephew fight, but the last person who takes the throne is still named Zhu!"

"But if I had listened to Ye Boxen and cut down the vassalage before dealing with the Huaixi Group, then a hundred years later, my surname would not be certain! You are still a little green."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and stopped looking at Zhu Di.

"What my father means is that just like Hu Hai in the Qin Dynasty, the consequences of suppressing the royal family are nothing more than eunuchs taking over or the power being removed. By then, there will be nothing left for the old Zhu family?!"

Zhu Di seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

Looking at his confused eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang finally shook his head and sighed:
"Go down, don't go back to the fiefdom first, stay in the capital for a few days."

Zhu Di resigned in confusion, and happened to bump into the little eunuch who ran in to report:

"Your Majesty, the Third Emperor's grandson is here."

"Hello, Uncle Emperor!" When Zhu Yunxi passed by Zhu Di, he greeted Zhu Di respectfully and politely.Zhu Di snorted and went out.

"Grandson pays respects to grandpa."

Zhu Yunxi's well-behaved appearance warmed the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang who was feeling lonely.

"Xie'er, come here."

Zhu Yunxi came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked:
"Xie'er, grandpa wants to ask you, don't be afraid. What do you think of what Duke Liang Guo said yesterday about your Fourth Emperor's uncle's rebellion?"

Zhu Yunxi's little face turned pale with fright!

He looked into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and stammered:

"Grandpa, grandson, grandson, I think the Fourth Emperor was forced to do this."

"What would you do if it were you?"

"Grandpa, I don't know. My grandson has never thought about these issues."

"It's okay, it's too late to think about it now."

Zhu Yunxi blinked his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"To be honest, my grandson has a bold idea these days following his grandfather and listening to what his uncle and grandpa said.
I just don’t know if it’s right. If it’s not right, grandpa just don’t scare his grandson, and don’t ignore him. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this grandson who kept calling him grandpa, and suddenly realized in his heart,

It turns out that my loneliness was due to standing in that position for too long. My son did not dare to call me Lao Tzu in front of me, and my grandson did not dare to call me grandpa in front of me!
It was this child who kept calling him grandpa.Not too much royal color.

"Okay, Grandpa promises you."

Zhu Yunxi took two deep breaths and began to say:
"If it were a grandson, after facing the premature death of his father, he would retain the Huaixi nobles and generals group.
To fight against the nine great fortress kings who were enfeoffed at the frontier,
In this case, if any party wants to resist the imperial court in the future, it will have to weigh the strength of the other party to see if it has the capital.

When the time comes, if the emperor is the one who has legitimately earned the throne and is tenable in the hearts and minds of the people,
Even if you can't make amazing achievements, as long as you are not stupid and incompetent, and you don't listen to partial beliefs, you can still ensure the stable development of Ming Dynasty. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the dragon couch in the dormitory at first, but when he heard these words, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

He didn't realize that this grandson who was not good at words would have such an opinion!
He didn't believe it. He came up with this on his own. Crazy Blue must have taught him secretly before!

If this is the case, then this child will also be two-faced? !

So he lowered his face and asked;

"Did you think of these yourself or did that thief Lan Yu teach you?!"
