In the Forbidden City, in the Chunhe Palace, Princess Lu waited with great expectation for the return of Prince Zhu Biao so that she could realize her plan.
Use your own practical actions to tie the prince's heart.
The soap on the side and the big butt are her biggest support.
According to her understanding of Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao should be back soon.
But in the end, he didn’t come back when he waited for left, and he didn’t come back when he waited for right.
She waited until the fire in her heart rose and went out, and finally she fell asleep sitting on the edge of the large bathtub, and Zhu Biao didn't come back.
The night was quiet, and Mrs. Lu was sitting on a chair, snoring slightly.
After a while of this, Lu, who was sleeping soundly, began to tilt forward.
When the body tilted to a certain angle, it finally lost its balance.
He fell headlong into the bathtub.
The tub is for bathing, and there isn't much water in it.
It doesn't have much of a buffering effect.
There was only a thud, which was the sound caused by her head hitting the bottom of the bathtub.
Shocked and in pain, Mrs. Lu woke up from her sleep and struggled hurriedly.
By the time she stood up from the bathtub and realized what was going on, she had already taken several gulps of water.
There was also water in my nose. I was choked and coughed repeatedly, with tears and runny nose coming out.
That's a pain.
The palace maid who was guarding outside the house was so panicked that she ran in after hearing the noise and quickly brought her something to wipe.
"I'm fine, just go out and watch."
Lu stopped coughing, regained her composure, and said to the palace maid.
The palace maid looked at Mr. Lu and said carefully: "The prince may have encountered something important and won't be able to come back for a while.
You...why don't you wait any longer, it's already late at night, go back to bed first. "
Lu shook her head and said, "No, I'll wait here.
The prince has to take care of state affairs every day. As a female, I can't help much. All I can do is to take good care of the family and serve the prince as much as possible.
Let him relieve his fatigue and not worry about other things.
This is the biggest role I can play. "
Hearing what Lu said, the maid said sincerely: "The Crown Prince is truly blessed to have such a virtuous wife as you and to have you as the Crown Princess!"
When Madam Lu heard this, she waved her hand: "It is a great blessing for me to be able to serve the Crown Prince by his side.
Don’t make any mistake about the relationship here! "
Mrs. Lu said so, but after the palace maid left, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
It was obvious that what the palace maid had just said was really appreciated in her heart.
After untying her wet clothes and wiping the water off her body, Lu changed into a set of dry clothes and put them on.
He reached out and touched the place where he was hit on his head, then picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it.
I found that it was just painful, leaving only a red mark. Depending on the situation, it would disappear in a short time.
She sat here and waited for a while, but Prince Zhu Biao still didn't come back.
And the red mark on her head was about to disappear. Lu secretly gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground.
Then he banged his head against the edge of the bathtub hard.
There was only a bang, and Mrs. Lu grunted, grinning in pain.
When I looked up in the mirror again, I found that a blue pimple the size of a small egg had appeared on my forehead.
Seeing this pimple, Mrs. Lu smiled on her face.
That’s great!
In this way, as soon as the prince comes back, he will see the pimple on his head and will definitely ask what happened.
Then he could take advantage of the situation and tell the story of how he fell into the bathtub when he came back to take a bath and fell asleep.
Everything is so reasonable.
After carefully looking at the pimple on her head, Mrs. Lu put down the bronze mirror in her hand and sat here waiting for the prince to return.
She didn't believe that she couldn't wait for the prince to come back!
According to the prince's temperament, if he doesn't come back to sleep at night, he will definitely ask someone to come back in advance to tell him.
Now that no one has told me, I will definitely come back to sleep.
Just wait for him here.
The longer I wait for him, the more miserable I become, and the greater the effect will be. After the prince comes back and sees me, he will feel even more distressed...
However, she didn't know that at this time, Zhu Biao'er was already occupied by the unexpected things and had already forgotten her.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a worried look.
He really didn't expect that his father would take such a drastic action at this time.
He actually wants Wu Liang and others to rebel!
Doing so would be different from their original intention.
The previous plan was to capture the Wu Liang and Wu Zhen brothers at the minimum cost, hold the Biwa Navy in their hands, and clean them up.
Let him completely become the imperial navy's Japanese navy.
If the father is planning to do this now, Wu Liang and Wu Zhen may really rebel if he is not careful!
Cause extremely serious consequences!
It's okay for Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang, after all, it's right under his nose, and Jiang Waterproof Master can't make much waves.
But with Jinghaihou Wu Zhen, it's hard to say.
There are many Japanese naval forces stationed in Chongming, and if you are not careful, they will slip away and come to the vast sea to become pirates.
If this is the case, Daming's losses will be huge.
The losses of battleships and soldiers are secondary, but the most important thing is the damage to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!
"Don't worry, we have been fighting for most of our lives, what kind of battles have we not experienced?
Wu Liang and Wu Zhen are not considered powerful enemies.
We wanted to do it step by step before, but that was giving them face.
Since they are shameless, don't blame me for being rude to him, don't blame me for not giving him face!
It was he who bullied us first!
They think we are getting old and have lost our temper!
How dare you hit your nose and face like this! "
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao's worries and looked at Zhu Biao and said this.
Zhu Biao hesitated and said, "Father...is this a little too hasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "When we started, we also wanted to be steady.
After all, our father and son have already cleaned up a lot of the mess left by Yuan Tatzi.
We feel that there is not so much to do.
But now through Han Cheng, we know that the world is so big, there is such land, so much wealth, and so many things can be done!
According to what Han Cheng said, we probably still have more than fifteen years of good life.
It sounds like a lot, but considering the many things Han Cheng said, fifteen years is not much at all.
Under such circumstances, we really don't have the patience to continue playing slowly with them like this.
It's really a waste of time to play slowly with them like this.
Our biggest idea now is to do more things as soon as possible.
Make a good start on what needs to be done and lay a solid foundation.
In this case, we can rest assured when handing over this country to future generations.
Some of what Han Cheng said is right. Many things are easiest and best for us, the founding emperor, to do.
Once we fail to do it, and let future generations do it, they will often have to spend a lot more effort, and even then, they may not really be able to do it well.
It's okay if you meet a wise king with means, but if you meet some idiots, let alone development, it's already very good if you can maintain the original things.
Counting on future generations is too unreliable and has too many uncertainties.
It's better to count on ourselves.
So, we should do as much as possible while we are still alive and have enough energy! "
After hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao stopped trying to persuade him on this matter.
He knew that he couldn't persuade him.
Of course, if in the past, even if he could not persuade Zhu Yuanzhang when encountering such a thing, Zhu Biao would try his best to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.
But now, after meeting Han Cheng and hearing a lot about the future from Han Cheng, Zhu Biao unknowingly changed his mind a lot.
Song Lian, and many other people in the Confucian family, accumulated day by day, bit by bit, and spared no effort to wrap the shackles around him, and the binding force became less and less.
There is a feeling of complete liberation.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself seemed a little surprised when he saw that Zhu Biao did not argue with him more or try to persuade him on this matter.
"Biao'er, you are different from before."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.
"What's different?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I don't believe in Confucianism like before."
Zhu Biao was stunned again.
It seems like that's the case.
Has he changed so much without even realizing it?
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face and said: "Biao'er, we are so happy that you have changed like this!
Confucianism is very good, but in the final analysis, it is just a tool.
We didn’t study much before, our position was not high enough, and we had few experiences.
I haven't figured out many things.
Looking back now, I find that since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhongshu presented the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, the idea of great unity, and the theory of the connection between heaven and man, Dong Zhongshu and others had some ambitions.
This ambition is to use their academic knowledge to help the court, but also want to tame the imperial power, or to tame the emperor!
I want to weave a rope and a cage to tie the emperor and put him in a cage!
It's a pity that Dong Zhongshu encountered a being like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After taking advantage of him, he tore the rope and cage he had woven into pieces with his backhand.
But the many emperors behind him were not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
As time goes by, the rope and the cage have not completely disappeared.
On the contrary, it becomes stronger and stronger.
Although there is always no shortage of emperors who have transcended, there are still only a few who can transcend.
We didn't study much. After meeting your mother, we listened to your mother's words and started to study to gain knowledge and gain knowledge.
The benefits are indeed many.
It can be said that if we had not listened to your mother and made this decision, we would definitely not be where we are today.
That's why we want to find a good husband for you so that you can study hard.
But we must not follow our old path.
Therefore, Mr. Song and other knowledgeable people have been arranged by us to teach you knowledge.
Especially Biao'er, you have grown rapidly in knowledge and become more and more sensible, we are really happy!
I feel that we made a very good decision back then.
But later, we slowly realized something was not right.
I am aware of the sinister thoughts of those literati.
When they teach knowledge, they will always restrain you to make you identify with them.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he always wants to transform the emperor.
Come up with their ideal emperor.
An emperor who was completely partial, even completely on the side of the scholars.
this is not right!
Very wrong!
Scholars are indeed important, but not that important.
Their method can be used to teach ordinary people, but it cannot be used to teach emperors.
In the eyes of the emperor, a scholar should be a tool, a donkey for grinding, just like Wu Xun, other craftsmen, etc.
They should not be allowed to escape.
By the time we noticed this, it was already a little late.
They have already left deep traces on you, and it is not easy to erase these traces.
Fortunately, you have experienced troubled times since you were a child, know the sufferings of the people, and know how difficult it is for your parents to establish a foundation. We have also asked you to deal with important matters of the family and the country a long time ago.
Although you are affected by them, you are not affected too deeply.
But it was still affected after all.
We are still worried.
Now, we find that the influence these people have on you is getting smaller and smaller.
We are really happy! ! "
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he smiled all over his face.
Not even remotely angry.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao was stunned again.
If his father hadn't mentioned it today, he really wouldn't have known that his father was secretly worried about him.
In the past, when my father said these words, there were many things in them that I did not agree with.
But now, when I listen to what my father said, I can still understand it.
And I think a lot of it makes sense.
"Recently, the child has listened to Han Cheng talk a lot about things, and has seen too many things that he has never seen before, so his thoughts have changed unconsciously.
Many things that I thought were wise sayings in the past are just like that when I look at them now.
In fact, many people think it is wrong..."
Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more happy.
Han Cheng!
Han Cheng!
It’s still Han Cheng!
Han Cheng, a good son-in-law, was simply a lucky star given to him by God and the Ming Dynasty!
Brought so many good things!
Not only did he save the girl's life, but he also quietly changed Biao'er's thinking, and laughed constantly to remove the shackles that the masters had left on Biao'er!
Han Cheng is really important!
Zhu Yuanzhang also strengthened his determination to marry his daughter.
But when he thought of his daughter's character, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little headache...
"What methods are your father going to use to make Wu Liang, Wu Zhen and others rebel?"
After feeling grateful for Han Cheng's kindness and calming down, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked about this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let the fire dragon burn the warehouse. They are worried that the matter will be exposed. It is reasonable to kill Li Shun first, and then use the fire dragon to burn the warehouse to destroy more evidence."
"Then... let the fourth child come out of the treasure shipyard first. It's too dangerous for the fourth child inside!"
Zhu Biao's first concern is his brother's safety.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Let the fourth man be there. Only the fourth son, the current prince, and our own son are inside. After those people burn the warehouse with the fire dragon, we can better bring down the wrath of thunder on them."
Only then can they be proven guilty of rebellion! "
Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard this: "Father, don't you know how...the fourth child only did those things later..."
Zhu Biao stuttered a little when he spoke.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder.
"That's our biological son, how could we really kill him because of those future events?
Just give him a hard slap and let go of the tone in his heart.
Even without Han Cheng's policy of enfeoffing the feudal lord, we would not do this.
Not to mention, there is now a plan like vassal king external seal.
With such a strategy, we hope that these sons will be able to fight as hard as the fourth child when they go outside.
The fire dragon will control the scale of burning the warehouse, and the fourth child will never be injured! "
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sly smile on his face.
"In order to make things more secure, we decided to send Bao'er and Feng Sheng to Chongming.
Prevent Wu Zhen from jumping over the wall! "
The Baoer mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang was Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.
The son of Zhu Yuanzhang's sister.
It can be seen from here that Zhu Yuanzhang looks very impatient many times.
But in fact, when it comes to doing things, it is still very safe.
Just like now.
Speaking of the two brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen, he looked like he didn't take them seriously at all.
But when I really started taking action, I was very cautious.
Not only the Chaohu Navy was mobilized, but also Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong were mobilized.
The gathering of troops and horses, as well as various preparations for expeditions, always require caution and caution.
It takes a lot of time to make various preparations.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang had made many arrangements for the war to destroy the three Jurchens, it was impossible for him to rush all the way to the front line in less than ten days.
Of course, the Ming God of War and the foreign students from Wala are exceptions.
At this time, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng and others had just completed the massing of heavy troops.
There are also various material mobilizations.
It's almost time to pull out completely.
"Will such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses alert the enemy and make these people rebel in advance?"
Zhu Biao said with a worried look.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It doesn't matter, we order these soldiers and horses to take the waterway, and let the Governor of Jiangfang be responsible for transporting the soldiers, horses and supplies.
Go down the Yangtze River, all the way to Chongming, enter the sea from there, go north by sea, and attack those Jurchen Tatars from both sides with Tiande! "
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao suddenly became enlightened.
As expected of his father!
Since then, it has become reasonable.
With this step, even asking the Chaohu Navy to transport grain and grass would not seem out of the ordinary.
In this way, Wu Liang and others can lower their alertness as much as possible...
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao discussed here for a while and stayed up late to deal with things.
By the time some things were temporarily dealt with, it was already very late.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao simply didn't know how to sleep in the palace, so they slept in Wuying Palace.
Save time wasting running back and forth.
It saves them time and can sleep a little longer.
But for Lu, who had been waiting for Zhu Biao to come back, it was uncomfortable.
In order to show herself off, she reluctantly slapped her forehead hard.
Basically I didn't sleep much all night.
As a result, she waited all night, but Zhu Biao didn't come back!
Until morning, he never came back for breakfast.
Has Mrs. Lu ever suffered such injustice?
Tears of anger fell straight down.
If you really want to be wronged, you will be wronged even more!
In the room, Lu, who had not slept much all night, only felt dizzy.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the bruises on my head that had grown a lot, I felt even more uncomfortable.
After looking at him like this for a while, he suddenly raised his hand to his face and slapped him twice!
After being slapped twice, Mrs. Lu became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, but her mood still never calmed down.
Although she was very sleepy, she didn't want to fall asleep.
I sat here and waited for a while. After seeing that the slap marks on my face had almost disappeared, I once again went to find Zhu Yun, this little stress-relieving artifact.
Naturally, he would not beat or scold Zhu Yunxi, but let the professor Zhu Yunxi read and write.
The Lu family came from a scholarly family, and the former Crown Princess Chang was the daughter of Chang Yuchun, who liked to wield swords and guns.
Learned people always have a high status, especially in ancient times.
When an unlearned person meets a learned person, he will unconsciously look down upon him.
In addition, Lu is another one who will add drama to herself.
So I liked to tell Mr. Chang how a scholarly family can enlighten children.
If possible, parents hope that their sons will succeed and their daughters will succeed.
Chang's family is no exception.
When it comes to educating children, people like Lu who come from a scholarly family are naturally the authority.
So after Lu's explanation, Zhu Xiongying was quickly given a lesson to start from childhood.
Zhu Xiongying was initiated by Lu at an early age, and the requirements were very strict...
Now that Chang and Zhu Xiongying are gone, things like this are still going on.
From the original Zhu Xiongying, it was transferred to Zhu Yunxi.
And this also became Zhu Yunxi’s nightmare
It is also Lu's best method to deal with Zhu Yunxi.
"How did you learn this? You don't know such a simple thing? How many times have I taught you!
How can you take on big responsibilities in the future like this? "
After checking Zhu Yunxi's endorsement, Lu really reprimanded him again.
Zhu Yunxi was extremely afraid of Lu.
At this time, being reprimanded by Mrs. Lu, she even shivered and did not dare to say a word.
I wanted to cry but didn't dare. It was extremely tormenting and uncomfortable.
I don't know how to place my hands and feet.
Lu took all this into her eyes and sneered in her heart.
After reprimanding Zhu Yunxi in this way, Lu's voice slowed down and she began to teach Zhu Yunxi here seriously.
This is the scary thing about Lu, he can always use some methods to secretly destroy a person.
The key is that after destroying it, no one can find her fault.
The former Crown Princess was destroyed by her life, but Zhu Yunxi was destroyed by her spirit.
But when others saw how she treated Zhu Yunxi at this time, they would not fault her. Instead, they would think that she was doing her best for the sake of the prince and grandson.
Even if Zhu Yunxi's biological mother is alive, the most she can do is like this...
Seeing how frightened Zhu Yunxi was, Ms. Lu suddenly felt much more comfortable...
…
Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly, looking very relaxed and content.
"Dad, is it really... no problem? If we do this, we are touching the tiger's butt!"
Wu Liang's son came closer to Wu Liang and spoke in a low voice, appearing uneasy.
When Wu Liang heard this, he glanced at his son and felt that his son was really worthless and didn't follow him at all.
How big of a deal is this, why should you be so nervous?
"What happened? What did we do? What are we doing touching the tiger's butt?"
He looked at his son and asked.
His son choked up with one sentence and couldn't say the rest.
I can only stand here and worry.
Wu Liang slowly drank the tea in the cup, and then said: "We are different from others.
We two old brothers have followed the superiors and fought all the way here, through life and death.
Speaking of which, our family also has a share of the Ming Dynasty!
We have a double marquis family! There is a place for the two of us in the Jilongshan Heroes Temple, and there are death-free tickets at home.
The Japanese water division and the river water division are all in our hands. It can be said that our family has the final say on water matters!
How much trust is this?
If you don't have enough trust, and according to His Majesty's temperament, how can you keep beating the Chaohu Navy and let our family dominate?
His Majesty still uses us.
Our Wu family is still of great use!
What happened this time was just a matter of time.
Your Majesty took the opportunity to give us a beating and make me become honest and obedient.
Li Shun's death means that this matter is over and Shang Shang will not pursue it further.
Some things just need to be tacitly understood.
You are still young and have only been with the superior for a short time, so you don’t understand the superior’s character at all.
Just listen to your dad and I'll be fine.
This matter has passed.
As long as we act more honestly next time, that will be all. "
After listening to Wu Liang's general statement, and then thinking about the many glorious deeds his father had done, and how he had developed the Wu family to this level step by step, Wu Liang's son Wu Gao also put down some of his worries.
On this, he trusted his father's judgment.
However, Wu Liang, who was full of confidence, did not know that because of Han Cheng's unexpected arrival, times had quietly changed.
His method no longer works at this time!
…
"Still no clues found?"
In Longjiang Bao Shipyard, Zhu Di was lying on the hospital bed, looking up at Monk Dao Yan and asking.
At this time, Zhu Di looked very ugly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was filled with gloom and rage.
In all his life, he has never suffered such a big loss!
This time, Wu Liang and others were very solid and gave him a big mouth!
His reputation as King Yan has finally fallen to the ground!
The most important thing is that until now, he still doesn’t know where his big mouth came from!
What a shame!
This time it’s really embarrassing! !
Here, they think they have done everything well, but yet such a big mistake appears!
Of course, besides this reason, Zhu Di was so impatient at this time, there was also a more important reason that could not be told to anyone.
This reason is that, according to his understanding of his father, after knowing what will happen in the future, his father will definitely feel uncomfortable with him.
Don't look now, it looks like it's over.
Not really.
It's really hard to say what kind of fate I will have in the future.
According to my father's character, it would be impossible for him to delegate power to himself as before.
There is a great possibility that he will become an idle prince and keep himself in captivity.
The more Zhu Di thought about this matter, the more uncomfortable he became.
This is undoubtedly an extremely painful punishment for someone like him!
In other words, there is a high possibility that what I am doing now will be my last mission!
But this mission was messed up again!
"found it."
"found it?!!"
Dao Yan's words surprised Zhu Di. Originally, he had given up hope. How could he have thought that Dao Yan would actually find clues about how Li Shun died!
"Master, tell me quickly!"
Zhu Di asked repeatedly.
He really wanted to know how Wu Liang and the others managed to kill Li Shun quietly under such circumstances!
