The emperors in the space tutted and said: "Lao Zhu, if you want to hear praise from others, just say so. It's pointless to ask like this!"
"That's right," Li Shimin said: "You want to hear good things, can't your brothers make it up?"
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored them and only looked at Mrs. Liang sitting in front of him.
Mrs. Liang indeed lived up to his expectations: "At the beginning, I didn't actually do this. Later, after hearing about several of His Majesty's actions after he ascended the throne, she silently made Dou Jing suffer the consequences of being dumb. The power of the Dou family was weakened by elimination and beating, but he was still suffering from unspeakable pain... At that time, I felt that the wise master who can carry thousands of miles of mountains and rivers has finally come to this world."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath of comfort, but still said a few words modestly: "Madam, you are overly praised."
Only then did I think of another protagonist: "Why don't you see the hero Cen Gang?"
A sad look appeared on Mrs. Liang's face, and she said sadly: "After the matter was completed, Cen Gang committed suicide."
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
Mrs. Liang recalled the scene when Cen Gang finally went to see her.
"Loyalty and justice have never been equal. I want to be loyal to the country. Although I have a clear conscience, I have also failed to be loyal to the general. Over the years, the general has treated me well. Now that he has died because of me, I cannot be shameless. The only way to gain wealth and honor is to die..."
She sighed and said to the emperor: "It is difficult to have both loyalty and justice."
He stood up again and saluted him with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, please honor Cen Gang's son as a compliment."
Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection, but he was inevitably sentimental and lamented: "Since you have children and grandchildren, why not cherish yourself?"
Mrs. Liang told him what Cen Gang said: "Isn't it better for future generations to call their children and grandchildren loyal and loyal to a son whose father looks up to him and is worthy of heaven and earth? Isn't it better than having a huge family fortune?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and finally ordered that Cen Gang's son be given an official status.
…
The Dou family, which had been prosperous for decades, was completely overthrown, and all the courtiers who were close to the Dou family were liquidated. At the same time, the new emperor vigorously appointed new people to fill various official offices. In just a few days, the situation between the government and the opposition was changed. For the new one.
And all of this has nothing to do with King Baling.
When Mrs. Liang and Cen Gang jointly launched an incident, he was still in the Pei family. The boy next to Pei Renfang came back in a hurry to report the news. He knew that the situation was urgent, so naturally he would not force his way forward, so he and Taifu Pei waited at the Pei family for more than an hour. , it was not until Pei Renfang returned home to tell him that the matter was over that he felt at ease.
The Pei family had no intention of staying, and of course King Baling couldn't shamelessly stay here. He didn't want to be looked down upon, so he just pretended to be as if nothing had happened, and went out with the palace chief and his entourage. Enter the Pei family.
As soon as he stepped out, he couldn't help but moan in pain.
Chang Shi looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing, but King Baling felt as if he had heard the voice - you didn't have to pretend to be like this at that time.
He just managed to get back to the palace and quickly sent for the imperial doctor. He applied medicine to the injured area and prescribed several doses of boiled medicine.
Don't say anything, just keep it.
King Baling leaned on the collapse, stroking the whip marks on his body, thinking that Pei Renfang was really ruthless. After thinking about it, he inevitably started to think about the whole thing again, and felt that what Pei Renfang said was not bad. It was purely Asked for it.
The woman surnamed Liu was deliberately pushed in front of him by Pei Renfang, setting up a trap for him. If he didn't want to make a joke with Pei Renfang, but had other thoughts, he would directly make the matter bigger and say Pei Renfang is a woman disguised as a man——
When the time came, Mrs. Liu changed her story and said that she was coerced by him. Pei Renfang proved his innocence and was a man, but she put him on the fire and roasted him!
As for family matters, his family knew that his father was the late emperor's biological uncle, and he was his father's only legitimate son. Before the late emperor's death, he had the highest voice in the clan regarding the successor, and he never thought that Dou Jing would find another way. The son of Crown Prince Zhuang Ao was appointed as the Crown Prince...
Because of these past experiences, the man on the dragon throne may be jealous of him. If he takes the initiative to offend him again, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Pei Renfang's previous words to let him go were not false.
When his thoughts drifted here, King Baling also moved his attention away from Pei Renfang.
He looked at the flickering light in the inner room and felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.
That is the position of emperor!
He was originally the person closest to that position.
The duck that is about to reach the mouth will fly away as soon as it is said to fly. Who can really feel nothing!
When King Baling thought of this, he couldn't help but get up sadly and sighed for half the night before falling into a deep sleep.
So on the second day, he woke up from his sleep and felt something strange around him. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face at the bedside.
Mu Yikang——Today!
Why is he here? !
King Baling was so frightened that he almost fell out of bed. Finally, he calmed down and stood up to salute.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled warmly and reached out to hold his shoulders: "My brother, there is no need to be polite!"
The emperor can say "his brother" to the prince to show his closeness, but if the prince prides himself on this and is arrogant and rude, it will be a recipe for death!
Especially the current emperor, how long has it been since he took the throne?
He actually accomplished what the late Emperor Yuji had been unable to accomplish for decades!
King Baling had no contact with him in the past, and now he didn't dare to rush up to pick up the saying "no need to be polite". He insisted on getting up to salute, but he was pressed down even more insistently by the other party. .
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You are already so ill, why are you so formal? Just rest!"
Only then did King Baling give up and obey his orders respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang greeted him politely for a moment, and then summoned the imperial doctor who was waiting at the house to ask questions. After going through a whole set of concerns, he finally sighed and said sadly: "The world says that the emperor is the supreme, but it's Why is the emperor so good? The memorials from the Chancellor's Desk are packed into baskets and sent to the Weiyang Palace. The memorials from all over the world never stop. It would be better to saw a person in half!"
King Baling heard:
I am just an ordinary family!
I'm not interested in money!
The biggest mistake I have ever made in my life is to become the emperor!
King Baling smiled politely and replied politely: "Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. The hopes of all the people in the world are pinned on you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again, but he didn't respond to this. He stared at his face and suddenly said: "Emperor brother, if you are in a different place, if you sit in my position, can you Can you govern a country well?"
Is this a topic that the prince who was once discussed as the heir apparent can participate in? !
King Baling was horrified when he heard this. Without saying a word, he got down and knelt down: "I am scared! How dare I have such a rebellious idea?!"
He moved so fast that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have time to stop him. When he came to his senses, he was already kneeling on the ground.
He felt helpless: "Why are you always so polite when talking to our own brothers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang personally pulled him up and asked: "If we were to govern a county, would the emperor's younger brother be able to handle it?"
At first King Baling heard the emperor say whether he could govern a country in a different place. He thought he had just dealt with Dou Jing and wanted to do it for himself. Now he heard him ask whether he could govern a country. The county couldn't help but hesitate.
This Mu Yikang...
What exactly does he mean?
Do you really want him to join the court as an official?
Or are you using this as a test?
A man wields a sword to repay his kindness, but he is not willing to live his life in vain - a man lives between heaven and earth, is he willing to support the palace, be a wealthy idler, and live a mediocre life?
If the emperor really wants to use him...
King Baling hesitated.
Zhu Yuanzhang observed his words and saw that he didn't say anything in a hurry. He knew that the lamb's front legs had stepped into the trap, so he immediately added a dose of strong medicine: "Is it possible that the emperor thinks that brother is because you have been beaten?" I have resentment in my heart when discussing the throne, so I came here today to test you?"
King Baling was struck by what he said, and his expression couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, held his hand and said: "You underestimate my broad-mindedness! I have only one reason to come here to conquer you, and that is to be moved by talents! I, the majestic emperor, cannot follow the emperor's path. But what do you want?!"
King Baling was shocked when he heard this: "Brother Emperor..."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The former chief minister, Nong, is old and sick and has already retired to the official position. I have already confirmed it. I wonder if the emperor brother can shoulder this important task. Isn't it disappointing for my brother?"
King Baling never expected that today, regardless of past grudges, he would be willing to hand over such an important position to himself - Da Sinong, who was the highest official in charge of the country's finances!
The emperor is so frank and sincere, which makes all his previous calculations, suspicions and shady tricks less powerful!
King Baling was ashamed and ashamed, and burst into tears with gratitude. He prostrated himself on the ground sincerely and said seriously: "I am so cruel to my brother, and I will not hesitate to do so!"
"Hey," Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pulled the little lamb up from the ground, which barely escaped, and pressed it gently into the trap: "What a mess, what a frightening thing to say!"
"Friend, please wake up," Liu Che sneered in the space: "Lao Zhu said that the liver and brain are wiped out, but that is really the liver and brain wiped out..."
Li Yuanda's mood was very subtle: "Friend, do you know that the department you work in is very dangerous?"
Li Shimin: "I can hear Lao Zhu's abacus in space."
Ying Zheng felt a little pity for him: "When the annual accounting comes..."
Li Yuanda: "His beloved imperial brother looked at him with twinkling eyes..."
Liu Che: "Tell me, my good brother, the national treasury balance should be tens of billions this year?!"
King Baling could not figure out the world situation at this time, let alone the sinister intentions of this big bad wolf cousin. His mind was filled with the heroic feeling of a soldier dying for his confidant. He was so full of ambition that he wished he could do it right away. It’s better to do something to repay the other person’s trust.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not trick him (not completely).
He really wants to find a few capable people to work for him.
What’s wrong with King Baling being a member of the royal family, and what’s wrong with being considered the heir apparent?
As long as he is capable, capable, and can work well, Zhu Yuanzhang can accommodate him!
This is an upright conspiracy that no one can crack.
If King Baling is ambitious and wants to make a career - we are not afraid of your ability, but we are afraid that your energy will be useless!
If King Baling is incapable of doing things and is too lazy to do things - just now, he still dares to compete with us for the throne?
I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it!
If King Baling deliberately sabotages and destroys it - isn't this taking the initiative to hand us a handle?
I'll kill you in minutes!
This method is easy to say and difficult to say. Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely not the first emperor in this dynasty to come up with it, but he is definitely the first emperor in this dynasty to dare to use this clever plan openly.
There is no other reason, because he is confident that no one can make trouble under his nose!
If you work hard and conscientiously, you are our good brother. If you have evil intentions and want to cause chaos - I will split you in two immediately and spread them in the wind!
Here, King Baling was pushed back to the bed by Zhu Yuanzhang, his head was dizzy and moved. Over there, Zhu Yuanzhang had already looked around, with a look of relief on his face, and nodded: "I came in from the outside, and saw the front of the house. Whether it's the courtyard or the servants and maids, everything is in order and not a trace of chaos. The emperor's younger brother has not married yet, so I guess it is not the fault of his younger siblings. In this case, it must be the result of Chang Shi's success. "
The eldest son of Prince Baling's palace, whose surname is Yan, has the character Hong. He is the second cousin of Prince Baling's mother, and is only about ten years older than Prince Baling.
The two have known each other since childhood and have always been close to each other. That's why they dared to tease their immediate boss, King Baling, when they were at Pei's house.
