"Tch, these father and son are really interesting. One is a bad guy and the other is a good guy."
Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Bing did not dare to say it. After all, this was the emperor's face. If he said something against the emperor today, he might be dead on the street tomorrow.
And after hearing the reward of a hundred taels of silver, Yang Bing became even more disdainful, thinking that the royal family was so stingy.
"Well, you should be rewarded with silver, but forget about the official position. I'll continue to follow General Wanqi and train a lot! When I achieve military exploits again, I will personally confer the title on you in front of all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace!" Zhu Yuanzhang The image at this moment collapsed in Yang Bing's eyes.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Xiyuan and Yang Bing both knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Okay, Prince." Zhu Yuanzhang called Prince Zhu Di beside him.
"What is your father's will?"
"You take Major General Yang and retreat first. Find a place where you can have more contact. Remember! Don't think of yourself as a prince!"
"Yes, please remember, Major General Yang." The attitude of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son made Yang Bing respect him. As a high-ranking emperor and prince, he had no airs of the royal family in private. This It is very rare.
Yang Bing also respectfully followed the prince out of the secret room and came to a pavilion in Wanqi Mansion. A servant brought tea, and the two of them just sat here without speaking. The scene was a little awkward for a while.
In fact, Yang Bing is not devoid of things to say. On the contrary, he is a person who talks a lot. But the person sitting across from him is the prince. Even if he farts, he has to think about the taste of the prince. What's more, he doesn't understand when he talks. This is what people in the Ming Dynasty like to talk about.
The prince is also a little embarrassed. After all, he is just a boy who has just grown up. Although he was born into a royal family and is a prince, he is also a little green. He is also very afraid that if he says the wrong thing or does the wrong thing, he will bring trouble to his father. Shame on you.
"Well, Major General Yang, I heard that you invented a weapon called Thunderbolt in Jincheng. This weapon can hurt countless people in an instant. I wonder where you learned such a weapon?" In the end, it was the prince who went first. Opened his mouth.
Yang Bing thought to himself, yes, the problem that he was most worried about has emerged. As early as a few days ago, Yang Bing noticed that Yang Xiyuan looked at him with something wrong. Now that the prince said this, he was obviously waiting for him. Give a reasonable explanation.
"Prince, to be honest, I accidentally discovered this thunderbolt while playing. I found that by changing the ratio of gunpowder, the power of the firecrackers can be increased or decreased." Yang Bing felt that concealing it at this moment was a mistake. It couldn't be concealed. After all, there were hundreds of craftsmen who made this grenade. Instead of waiting for the royal family to find out in the future, it would be better to explain it now.
"Oh, I see, Major General Yang is really good at thinking." The prince's compliment came from the bottom of his heart: "I wonder what Major General Yang's plans are in the future? Will he continue to stay in the military camp? Or are you willing to follow me?"
Yang Bing was stunned by the prince's straightforwardness: "The prince in Suwen's dynasty was straightforward and had no airs on others. Now it's true that he is like this." Yang Bing cupped his fists and complimented.
Zhu Di waved his hands after hearing this, with a sad look on his face: "You don't know, everyone in the world thinks that I am the prince, and I will have many thoughts and support my own power, but I am the prince outside, and I am also the prince inside. He's just a son who wants to do more for his father."
"What the prince said is absolutely true. The most indispensable thing in all dynasties is princes and princes, but there are not many truly filial sons and virtuous grandchildren." After hearing Zhu Di's words, Yang Bing felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He had been familiar with history books in his previous life. , the royal struggles in the past dynasties were extremely cruel, and even father and son would fight each other.
"Today, the Tatar tribes in the border areas have repeatedly invaded our borders, and there is always the momentum of rebellion in the southern states. Although I am familiar with the books of sages and learn the principles of governing the country, I am still helpless against these things. , but now the appearance of you Yang Bing gives me a glimmer of hope. You have demonstrated the majesty of our dynasty in the battle in Jincheng!" When the prince saw Yang Bing with his own eyes, he could see his and his The difference is that Yang Bing's face is always filled with a kind of confidence, which is very contagious. Even when he meets his father, that confidence still does not disappear. This is why Zhu Di draws Yang Bing so directly.
"Haha, Your Highness, Yang Bing has something to say, please don't blame me."
"But it doesn't matter." When the prince saw that Yang Bing had something to say, he naturally wouldn't stop him. He really couldn't bear to let such a talented person go.
Yang Bing took a deep breath: "First of all, Yang Bing does not want to join any force, because from my father to uncle Wanqi, and even you, the prince, they are all working hard for your majesty and for our country to flourish. Yes, I personally think there is no need to form cliques for personal gain."
Yang Bing said, he glanced at Zhu Di tentatively and found that he was thinking seriously, so he continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that not only the Tatar tribes on the northern border, but also some chieftains in the south are frequently revolting. , indeed this is a very serious problem, but has His Highness the Crown Prince ever thought about it?"
Zhu Di was like a student at this moment, looking at Yang Bing seriously: "Please tell me."
"His Royal Highness, have you ever thought about it, if the people in this world can have food, clothing, housing, and money for medical treatment, then who will risk their lives?" Yang Bing's words seemed simple. But it is something that all the royal families of all dynasties should know, but few people actually do it.
"Actually, the common people don't have as much thought as the nobles to engage in intrigues. What the common people want is just a bowl of rice and a room." Yang Bing's words reached Zhu Di's ears like a thunder.
Zhu Di's sages and principles were shattered one by one. Zhu Di stood there blankly, repeating Yang Bing's words in his mind.
"Yes, if everyone can have enough food and housing, who will come out to rebel? I didn't think of such a simple truth." Zhu Di's self-identification at this moment has been changed from this palace to me.
"If you say something unpleasant again, I hope His Highness the Prince will not be angry."
"It's okay, just say whatever you want."
"After becoming loyal ministers, I think the prince and the emperor should go out for a walk and see the life of the people outside the palace, but they should not be obsessed with flattery and pandering from the outside and return to the palace more often to handle state affairs." Yang Bing read the historical records of his previous life. Everything was summed up in extremely brief words.
