King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 49 Summoned into the capital!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked, "What do you think the prince should do?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang tentatively and asked: "Otherwise, my father will issue an order to reprimand the tenth brother? Or send an envoy to question him face to face?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Zhu Tan has made great contributions to the country! I don't want to treat him like this! Although he is unkind, I cannot be unjust!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"We are heart to heart with him, but he is using our brains! But what can we do? He is our son. If we are angry, can we really blame him?"

Zhu Biao was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Does the father want to recognize this memorial? The other 500 million taels captured by the tenth brother were left to him like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Of course not! I agreed to go out with the 1000 million taels of silver! What's more, I also mentioned Zhu Tan's concealment to those idiots just now!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Father, it's better to just tell me that I am stupid!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listed them one by one: "Lu Xiong, the magistrate of Yanzhou, the Chief Envoy of Shandong, and Zhu Su, the king of Qi, all falsely accused Zhu Tan! I plan to use these people to vent his anger! If it is not enough, let him raise conditions ! In short, I only want money!"

Zhu Biao said in surprise: "Father, that's all for everyone else. Should the seventh brother also be punished? He is the prince after all."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "It's not that bad. At most, I can reprimand Zhu Shu in front of Tan'er to vent his anger. After all, they are all princes. How can they be the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty? How can they do it easily!

Prince, it will be the same when you succeed to the throne in the future!
  This world belongs to our Lao Zhu family, so it’s not wrong for us to be nicer to our family members!
  Look at the princes who guarded various places in the previous dynasty. They were all die-hard elements who fought against us!

How much trouble did it cause us?

Isn't that the result of the previous emperor's preferential treatment of the vassal king?

This is the end of the world.
  Only your own blood relatives are the most trustworthy!

Be as gentle and gentle as possible towards them and try your best to win them over!

That's our son, your brother!

If you listen to the bullshit talk of those rotten scholars, that princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people, then you will fall into their trap!
  All the vassal kings in the world have been purged. You, the emperor who sits at the center, can hardly protect your country from being stolen by powerful ministers!
  Or maybe it was taken away by rebels!

Regardless of the King of Qi, King of Lu, King of Qin, King of Jin, or King of Yan!
  They are all the Dinghai Shenzhen of our old Zhu family! "

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly in his heart.

To be honest, he was willing to be kind to these brothers, but Zhu Biao did not dare to believe so wholeheartedly like his father.

After all, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty are both lessons learned from the past.
  But now, whatever the father says, so be it!

Zhu Yuanzhang chatted with Zhu Biao, and then said to Song Ne, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who was serving at the side, and the imperial concubine offering wine: "Pass the decree and order the Jin Yiwei to command the chief envoys, aides and inspectors of the Shandong Chief Envoys Department." The envoys and the magistrate of Yanzhou, Suo Nao, went to Beijing! The Ministry of Punishment was responsible for questioning them about false accusations against King Lu!
  Order Qi King Zhu Su and Lu King Zhu Tan to come to Yingtian to see us! "

Qingzhou.

Prince Qi's Mansion.

Zhu Shu frowned as he looked at the imperial edict in front of him.

I couldn't help but talk to myself.

"Father summoned you? What's the matter? It's not because you just killed the palace chief, right?"

Probably not.

Just a fifth-rank official!
  Some time ago, he killed a guard commander, who was a third-grade officer, and his father just ordered him to scold him.

What's more, my father himself kills two civil servants every now and then to entertain himself. How can he get anywhere by killing these few?
  This is purely a tribute to my father!

Zhu Shu thought for a while.

Could it be because he complained about Zhu Tan to his father?
  Not so much
  Although that bastard has made great achievements, is his position in the heart of his father that important?
  My father would never ask me to go to Beijing just for this matter.
  The next imperial edict will suffice.

Zhu Shu thought for a long time, but was still not sure of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

Forget it, no matter what happens, we will find out when we get to Yingtian!
  Ten miles of Qinhuai River, a thousand years of Confucius Temple.
  What attracts me the most is the brothels lined up along the river.
  Yanzhou.

Prince Lu's Mansion.

A group of people were sitting next to Zhu Tan.

Princess Tang's face was full of worry.

Guo Ying also looked like he hated iron.

Shi Yinshao, the left chief of the palace, was even more worried all day long.

The prince will be called into Yingtian Mansion to be punished for concealing the truth.

As the chief historian of the palace, I am still not worthy of Ling Chi.
  Even if he wasn't beaten by Ling Chi, he would still be thrown out of the way by this unworthy prince! Wuding Hou Guo Ying spoke first.

He frowned and said: "Your Highness! You don't have to worry too much! I know your Majesty somewhat! Since he called you to respond to the sky, he must at most give you a warning in person and will not really punish you!"

Zhu Tan glanced at Guo Ying inexplicably.

"I'm not worried at all. I'll just give you the order! In short, I only gave my father 500 million taels of silver! Not even a cent more!"

Guo Ying:.
  Now that you've got this, why are you still holding on to the 500 million taels of silver?
  crazy?

He couldn't help but frown and said: "Your Highness! Do you still want to keep the money now? If His Majesty forces a conquest, what else can you do to resist?"

Zhu Tan hummed: "I said I won't give it, so I won't give it! My father is the emperor, so he wouldn't be embarrassed to steal my money, right?"

Guo Ying sighed.

Scrooge!
  Hopeless!
  And your dad
  He's so kind!
  He was born as a beggar, so what’s the point of being embarrassed!
  Back then, all the business I did in the Red Scarf Army was without capital!
  What a big deal it is to rob you of 500 million taels of silver now!
  Next to Guo Ying.

Shi Yinshao, the left chief of the palace, had a face full of pain.

Finished!

Finished!

The prince doesn’t even want his own life, but he also wants money!

Now I guess he doesn’t even care about my life!

But no matter what.

Yin Shao felt that he still had to speak to dissuade him.

After all, you are responsible for your own life, and you are also responsible for the prince!
  He cupped his hands and said to Zhu Tan: "Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

Zhu Tan waved his hand and said, "You shouldn't talk about it!"

Yin Shao:.
  "Why don't you, Your Highness, listen to it?"

Zhu Tan said impatiently: "Don't listen! Don't persuade me! The money belongs to me! I have done my best to share half of it with my father!"

Yin Shao sighed.

Forget it.

I have never had any status in His Highness's eyes.
  Beside Zhu Tan.

Princess Lu Tang glanced at Zhu Tan timidly.

"Your Majesty!"

"Huh? Does the princess also want to persuade me?"

Zhu Tan frowned and looked at Mr. Tang.

Tang shook his head.

talking.

He lowered his head and took out a small bag from the edge of the chair.

The small bag is extremely delicate, covered in red and embroidered with the character "囍".

"No, no! I will not persuade your highness. These are the money my mother gave me when I got married, your highness gave me!"

Speaking of it.

Tang's face was already red with embarrassment and he did not dare to look directly at Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan stared at Mr. Tang blankly.

He took the small red cloth bag.

Counted.

A total of 2 Ming Dynasty treasure notes!

It is equivalent to 5000 taels of silver.
