Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 72 Fourth, I heard that you want to be the emperor!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di's face that looked exactly like Queen Ma, his expression softened slightly, and he said slowly:

"You should get up and talk first.

Zhu Yunwen originally came to see a good show.

However, as soon as Zhu Di mentioned Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude changed.

Seeing that the situation was about to exceed his expectations, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

When Zhu Yunwen saw this, he couldn't help but said:

"Fourth uncle, why did you come back so late?"

"You don't know how much Grandpa Huang misses you. He issued three decrees in a row just to get you back."

Zhu Di wished he could kill Zhu Yunwen now. When did this bastard learn to be so yin and yang?
  When Zhu Di came, although he was mentally prepared, he did not think that his father would harm him.

But if Zhu Yunwen, the dog, continues to stir things up, today's results will be really unpredictable.

But at this time, Zhu Di must explain his previous disrespect for the emperor, otherwise, his father will never give up. Zhu Di crossed his fists and said:
  "Father, it's not that I don't want to come back, but the situation forces me to do so. I have no choice but to do so. The Jurchens have repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty's borders. This time they openly rebelled, rushing into the Ming Dynasty's borders and massacring the people of the Ming Dynasty."

“By then, all the elites in the north will be gone, and Liaodong will be ravaged by the Jurchens and Tatars.

"In order to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty, and to avoid future troubles forever. My son has been exterminating the Jurchens, so he has not come back. I hope my father will forgive me. I want to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang would not believe Zhu Di's words. He thought Zhu Di wanted to hold the army hostage and make a death struggle.

However, when Zhu Di returned to the capital alone, Zhu Yuanzhang began to doubt whether what Zhu Di said was true.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could react, Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it. He said, "So, Fourth Uncle, where are the Jurchen and Shoe people you brought back?"

You said that you captured 90,000 Tatars and attacked the Jurchens. Didn't you bring back the prisoners?

"How do you explain this?"

Zhu Di was not panicked at all and said calmly:
  "It's very simple. I captured a total of 270,000 Jurchens and Tatars, and I beheaded them all.

"Moreover, a Jingguan has been built outside Fushun City on the banks of the Liao River. If the emperor's grandson doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check it out.

When Zhu Yunwen heard these words, he felt a chill rush from his feet to his forehead. His body trembled involuntarily and he said in disbelief:
  Two hundred and seventy thousand? Cut off all their heads? "

When Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Di's stern face and indifferent expression, he finally remembered that his fourth uncle was the god of death on the battlefield.

Over the years, he personally killed hundreds of Tatars.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight and asked: "Since ancient times, it has been unlucky to kill people. Why do you want to kill those who put down their weapons?

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di, as if he wanted to see through him, but Zhu Di remained calm and continued:
  “Different races have different hearts.

"Rather than letting them go back, it's better to eradicate the root cause."

"Moreover, our food supply was also very tight at that time. If we let them live, our army would not have enough food at all. Therefore, we must kill them all to avoid future troubles."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and whispered: "You defeated the 100,000 Tatar army and massacred the Jurchen tribe. This is a great achievement.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty will never forget your achievements." This is a victory that the soldiers paid for with their lives. Zhu Di also looked humble after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's praise.

"I hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty can remember those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who sacrificed their lives for the country, and I will be satisfied.

Seeing that the rebellion against the imperial decree was over, Zhu Di was secretly glad in his heart.

Originally, he thought that this matter would be over, but Zhu Yuanzhang's next words made Zhu Di completely dumbfounded.

Go to the study.

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Di's always serious face.

Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang had forgiven him for his disobedience.

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

However, just when Zhu Di felt relieved, Zhu Yuanzhang's next words shocked Zhu Di even more.

"Fourth, I heard that you wanted to be the emperor and planned a rebellion. Am I right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally got to the point. Zhu Di was stunned, as if he was stunned.

Zhu Yunwen smiled, but the corner of his eye fell on his fourth uncle. This scene was exactly what he was looking forward to today.

Seeing the fear on Zhu Di's face, Zhu Yunwen felt happy. This was the price of underestimating him, Zhu Yunwen.

Even if you are very skilled, what's the use?

He is the crown prince of Ming Dynasty, the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the one who wants to take over the power of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen was looking at Zhu Di's panic with pride. Only then did Zhu Di come back to his senses. He quickly knelt down and begged: "Father, I have no intention of rebelling, nor do I have any intention of becoming the emperor." mean."

"Since ancient times, the eldest son has always been distinguished by his superiority and inferiority. This throne originally belongs to the elder brother. How dare I have any different intentions."

"In the past few years, I have been working diligently in Beiping and have not dared to relax at all. I only know that my father wants me to guard the northern border for the Ming Dynasty. I have fulfilled my official duties and have no thoughts of rebellion."

"Someone must have framed me, please tell me.

Seeing Zhu Di still struggling, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but admired: "Fourth uncle, you really know how to talk. If Grandpa Huang didn't have conclusive evidence, you could really fool him.

"Grandpa Huang knows everything you did in Peiping, Fourth Uncle, you don't have to argue.

"It's best to tell Grandpa Huang truthfully what is going on in the iron mine in Miyun?"

Zhu Di was also stunned. How could Zhu Yunwen know that he had a monopoly on this mine? Doesn't this mean that his father also knows about this?

How much do they know about what I did in Peking?

Thoughts were racing in Zhu Di's mind, but his face was calm. Wang Tiansheng said: "Father, I know clearly that in the land of dense clouds, although I have found an iron mine, I am dedicated to the people and have no evil intentions."

What I have done is just making stoves for the people, and has no other uses. If my father doesn't believe it, he can have someone go check it out. "At this time, no matter what they find, Zhu Di will never admit it.

Fortunately, he was determined to separate the blacksmith from the iron workshop. The only thing Zhu Di can do now is to gamble that the weapons refining place under his residence has not been discovered yet.
