"Yes!" Fu Ren opened the military newspaper and read loudly,
"Holy husband, holy peace! My son is far away in Yunnan, and I know that His Highness will succeed to the throne.
However, I am not satisfied with the gift. Suddenly I heard that Annan has rebelled again. I am willing to offer Annan to His Highness as a token of my Sacred Heart! "
Mu Chun breathed a long sigh of relief and then noticed that his sweat had already wetted his clothes.
The clothes clung to my back and were sticky.
Muchun was tricked by Lan Yu as soon as he entered the capital, and now he has a deeper understanding of the feeling of being with a king like a tiger.
"Okay! It's just as Chun'er said! Our adopted son is very good!"
Confirming that Muchun's statement was good, Zhu Yuanzhang cheered repeatedly and performed a Sichuan Opera face change on the spot.
Lao Zhu, who just wanted to take Mu Ying to the capital for a good meal, now praised Mu Ying again.
Anyway, Lao Zhu has always been very real. Whoever gives face to our eldest grandson, we will give face to.
Whoever doesn’t give our eldest grandson face, I will make you regret giving birth to him!
"Okay! Stand down!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Muchun quickly stood up and saluted in response.
Before leaving, Mu Chun glanced at Zhu Xiongying gratefully, and Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly towards Mu Chun.
After Muchun walked out, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said,
"This kid is not stupid. He knows who is helping him behind the scenes."
"Grandpa~"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled so much that his features were squeezed together, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said cheerfully,
"Grandson, grandpa doesn't mean to blame you."
Seeing that Fu Ren still refused to retreat, Zhu Yuanzhang asked expressionlessly,
"Anything else?"
Fu Ren replied, "Your Majesty, something happened to Xiao Lian in the capital."
Zhu Xiongying frowned.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion, "Xiao Lian? Aren't they treating them well? What can happen to them?"
Fu Ren replied, "Your Majesty, the people in the capital gathered outside Xiaolian's mansion and called for Xiaolian very loudly.
Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, pulled Xiaolian out and let the people watch. "
Zhu Yuanzhang mopped his beard and thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
If the people want to see these filial and honest people, then show them to the people. Originally, the purpose of selecting these filial and honest people is to correct the people's morals.
"What trouble could this cause? One wants to see, the other wants to be seen."
Fu Ren continued, "There were no problems at first, but when the people knew that Xiaolian Zhengping of Anqing County was among them, there was chaos on the spot."
"Here!" Zhu Xiongying raised his foot and was about to go to the capital to quell the chaos. Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and said, "Grandson, wait a moment."
Even though Zhu Xiongying is in an anxious mood now, he still listens to his grandfather's words.
Grandpa called him to stop, and Zhu Xiongying also stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fu Ren and asked, "Are you safe?"
"Your Majesty, it's safe. We let Xiaolian go back, but there are still some people outside the mansion who keep cursing."
"Well, that's it, just step back."
"yes."
"grandfather!"
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who held it down and said,
"Dasun, you have to pay attention to your identity. You have helped Zheng Ping enough. Now you should not get involved in this situation.
Grandpa knows that Zheng Ping is wronged, but there are some truths that cannot be explained clearly to the people at once.
Now is the important day for you to ascend the throne. Don't go against the people.
This Zheng Ping, when he is more stable, we will send him back to his hometown. "
There was a struggle in Zhu Xiongying's eyes. The step he should take was delayed, and he stepped back.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction, "That's right."
Lao Zhu has always given everything to Xiao Zhu, and what Lao Zhu said the most is,
Don't talk about good and evil, don't talk about reason, just talk about interests.
Moreover, besides Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang only said these words to Zhu Xiongying,
This is a real emperor's mentality. As a king who is above the world,
He has the final say on good and evil principles, so how can he be bound by these things?
As an emperor, facing all kinds of things, there is only one essence that must be seen through.
That is whether this matter is beneficial or harmful to you,
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is what Zhu Xiongying needs to learn now.
Zheng Ping was wronged. Zhu Yuanzhang understood this even better than Zhu Xiongying.
But Lao Zhu only talked to the Xiaolians in the mansion, and did not even deliberately change the views of the Xiaolians, let alone change the views of the people.
In this era, the simplest moral concept is filial piety. Serving your parents well is filial piety.
In a special situation like Zheng Ping's, there are not so many discerning people to distinguish and analyze it, so the public opinion is swept away by the wind.
And now is the time when Zhu Xiongying needs the people's support the most. No matter how he weighs it in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he doesn't want his eldest grandson to have too much to do with Zheng Ping.
Let’s just say that the former commander of the Jinyi Guards had done so many dirty and evil things for Zhu Yuanzhang. When it was time to give up, he just gave up.
If he hesitates for even a second, Lao Zhu will condemn himself as unworthy of being emperor.
People who hold great power must be anti-human. Lao Zhu needs his eldest grandson to make judgments that are aware of current affairs.
"Come on, keep going."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi. They nodded and continued to report.

Inside Xiaolian Mansion
Zheng Ping was beaten until he fell to the ground covered in blood. Huan Ming looked at the filial piety men around him and said loudly,
"Get some water!"
But these Xiaolians were motionless, and Huan Ming suddenly froze on the spot.
A few hours ago, wasn't I the same as these people?
The stereotypes in people's minds are like a big mountain. Few people would put themselves in other people's shoes. The stereotypes are deep-rooted.
"The water is coming!"
One of the thin men ran in from behind carrying a basin of water with a handkerchief in the water. It was Xiao Song who first spoke for Zheng Ping during the discussion.
Huan Ming and Xiao Song put Zheng Ping down, wiped the wound with water, and then simply treated the wound. Seeing that Zheng Ping's breathing became more stable,
The two looked at each other and sighed,
Zheng Ping's eyelids trembled for a while, and then he opened his eyes a crack. Huan Ming rushed over and said with emotion,
"Brother, you can leave after you rest. If you stay here any longer, you will be beaten to death!"
Zheng Ping's eyes were confused. He didn't know why everyone was shouting about him.
But he still nodded in agreement. He wanted to change his prejudice, but he really didn't have the ability.
Seeing that Zheng Ping agreed, Huan Ming sat down on the ground and said with relief,
"When you recover from your injuries, I will escort you out of the capital!"
