"What?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang screamed and stood up with a slap on the table, his face full of anger.
Let’s talk about Annan first. He just cleaned it up five years ago, but Annan, this place is full of rebellion.
I rebelled, I rebelled, and it hasn’t stopped for two years. It seems that the flesh on my body has become tight again.
The other vassal territory that had no offerings was what shocked Zhu Yuanzhang the most, and that was Yunnan.
Zhu Yuanzhang named Mu Ying the King of Yunnan, and Mu Ying was also the first vassal king of the opposite sex. This shows how much Zhu Yuanzhang trusts Mu Ying.
However, Mu Ying, whom Zhu Yuanzhang trusted the most, did not know what she was doing at the most critical moment of Zhu Xiongying's succession.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew from the bottom of his heart that Mu Ying could not rebel, he couldn't stand being so lazy and not taking his eldest grandson's succession seriously.
"Shadow Seven!"
A shadow appeared in the main hall of Fengtian Hall, and Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice,
"Isn't Muchun in the capital? Go! Go and call him!"
"yes!"
After watching Ying Qi flash out of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry. At this time, a gentle voice sounded next to Zhu Yuanzhang,
"Grandpa, it is absolutely impossible for Uncle Mu to rebel. We have no news yet, so it is best to slow down the matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry with Mu Ying, and he was very angry now. If someone else were around to excuse Mu Ying like this, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be angry with him immediately.
But it happened to be the eldest grandson. Zhu Xiongying's words fell lightly on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and instantly extinguished half of the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang would easily kill people randomly when he was angry, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found that this matter was indeed full of strangeness.
Lao Zhu first grinned at Zhu Xiongying, indicating that he was not so angry.
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Rites, who were standing in the hall, were secretly relieved when they saw this. They also felt that there was something fishy, but if they were asked to touch their beards in the face of His Majesty's anger, they would not do it. dare,
Lao Zhu turned to look at Xia Yuanji and asked,
"What do you think?"
Xia Yuanji continued, "Your Majesty, there is something really fishy about this matter. According to the reports from the stations along the way, the Yunnan King's tribute was not unprepared. It was just that he was chased back by the Yunnan King as soon as he left Yunnan. But after counting the days, it turned out that If we want to send out tribute, the time along the way is no longer enough.”
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and it turned out to be like this. Mu Ying's gift was not missed, but was prepared and sent out, but he was immediately chased back.
But no matter what the reason is, it is Mu Ying's own problem after all.
The day when Zhu Xiongying ascends the throne is approaching, and the gift from Yunnan has not yet been delivered. This is definitely not a small matter.
Within the Ming Dynasty, various places came to express their loyalty to the new emperor at this time.
Whoever respects etiquette will be loyal to our eldest grandson.
"Mu Ying should be punished for being careless when things happen!"
Zhu Xiongying was silent. Based on his understanding of Uncle Mu, in terms of stability, if Ming Muying said that he was second, then no one would dare to say that he was first.
How could a man who usually acted so steadily make such a stupid mistake?
Everyone was silent. After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.
Ying Qi brought Muchun in. Muchun was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly.
Seeing that he had been running all the way, Mu Chun didn't even take a breath, so he fell to his knees with a thump.
"See your majesty! See your highness!"
Lao Zhu snorted coldly. Seeing Muchun's appearance, the anger in his heart was almost gone, but his mouth was still soft and he said coldly,
"Do you know what your father did?!"
Muchun responded quickly, "Your Majesty, my father will never betray Your Majesty! He will never betray the Ming Dynasty!"
Mu Chun's head was pounding. It seemed that Ying Qi had explained to Mu Chun roughly what had happened on the way. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ying Qi and then at Zhu Xiongying.
Needless to say, Ying Qi secretly followed his eldest grandson’s wishes.
Anyway, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ying Qi to find Muchun, he definitely had no intention of letting Ying Qi talk too much.
And besides Zhu Xiongying, there is no other person in the entire Ming Dynasty who can make Ying Qi take the edge off.
Don’t underestimate the effect of Ying Qi’s words. Saying this more words gave Mu Chun time to think on the road. If he hadn’t said this, Mu Chun would have gone straight to the palace in confusion. After two or three sentences, Zhu Yuanzhang would be confused.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that if Zhu Yuanzhang did not trust Mu Ying enough,
For any minister, Ying Qi’s few words on the road would have been life-saving words.
Mu Chun is Mu Ying's eldest son. If Mu Ying really had evil intentions, she would not be so cruel as to throw her own son to the capital to paralyze Zhu Yuanzhang to buy time.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Mu Ying would not rebel, but what Mu Ying did made Lao Zhu feel uncomfortable. Lao Zhu just wanted an explanation from the Mu family.
Calling Muchun here also gives him a chance to make amends.
"We heard that your father took you out of Yunnan and was called back by your father. What's going on? You don't even care about our eldest grandson's succession. What are you going to do? !”
Muchun was paused when he heard this. He didn't know this information, but...
"Your Majesty, I only know that my father has been paying special attention to this matter. Before I came to the capital, my father had been worried about not being able to choose a suitable gift."
"What do you mean, Mu Ying is not satisfied with this gift?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, then immediately knitted his eyebrows together and said, "But this doesn't make sense. Even if he is not satisfied, he should give it first Come on, now there’s nothing left, is that okay?”
Muchun couldn't figure out what his father had done. When he was thinking a lot, his eyes suddenly flashed and he said,
"Your Majesty, but Annan didn't pay tribute either?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, nodded and said,
"Yes, what is the relationship between these two things?"
After Muchun confirmed the news, he was ecstatic and said firmly,
"Your Majesty, I know what my father means!
Annan's wolfish ambitions have always been ready to stir up troubles. Seeing the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascending the throne, they also saw the time to prepare for rebellion.
My father has found a suitable gift. Of course my father wants to use Annan as a gift to present to His Majesty the Holy Sun! "
"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and asked, "Really?!"
"Wei Chen dares to use his head to vouch for his father!"
"What do we need your head for? We just..."
"Report!"
Fu Ren, the commander of the Fifth Army Commander's Office, strode in, knelt down on one knee,
"Report to Your Majesty, a letter from Yunnan."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson, then at Muchun, and said,
"read!"
