"When the emperor..."
Before Ma Sandao could finish his words, Lan Yu covered his mouth, forcing him to hold back all the rest of his words.
"What is the emperor?"
Li Jin's eyes were confused. He didn't know what kind of plane these two people were doing.
"The emperor's relative."
Lan Yu answered directly.
Li Jin rolled his eyes and said:
"This is not nonsense."
"He left just in time. This old man has a bad temper. Let's continue drinking."
"What did you say just now? Oh, yes, let's continue talking about our big business."
This is Li Jin's purpose, he wants to pull them all onto his pirate ship.
With their joining, his next plan can proceed normally.
Just when Li Jin was about to continue speaking, Lan Yu smiled awkwardly:
"This... let's talk about this next time."
"I have something urgent to do today, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, he took Ma Sandao and left without giving Li Jin a chance to talk to him.
It looked like someone was biting him from behind.
"We all have things to do, so we'll say goodbye first and talk about it later."
Several other Huaixi generals also followed Lan Yu and turned around to leave.
After everyone left, Li Jin looked at the empty seats speechlessly and said depressedly:
“I really lost a lot today!!!”
I originally thought that I could catch these rich locals today and have a good harvest, but I didn't expect that they were all disturbed by Lao Huang.
Li Jin found that every time he met this old man, nothing good happened!
.....
After Lan Yu stepped off the boat, Masandao broke away from Lan Yu's pull and asked angrily:
"Why don't you let me tell that boy Li Jin the true identity of the emperor?"
"Confused!"
Lan Yu scolded as if she hated iron but not steel:
"Masandao, Masandao! Aren't you going to use your brain?"
"If the emperor wanted Li Jin to know his identity, wouldn't the emperor tell him himself? Why do you need to talk more?"
"Today Li Jin scolded the Emperor in front of the Emperor. I'm afraid the Emperor will never let this boy go."
"Let's leave quickly. I just hope the emperor won't vent his anger on us."
"But, that guy Li Jin is our fellow Fengyang fellow!"
Ma Sandao still felt that Li Jin looked familiar, and it felt unkind to leave like this.
"But what? Think about your mother at home. Do you want her to give her white hair to her black hair?"
Lan Yu saw Ma San Dao grinding and whining, and shouted directly:
"Get away quickly!"
Hearing his mother's name, Ma Sandao could only sigh, then lowered his head and hurried home without saying a word.
...
After Zhu Yuanzhang left Huafang, he had been in a state of despair.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy to seal the king and guard the border. In his mind, this national policy should be passed down.
Not only must it be passed down, but each generation of Ming emperors must have many children and grandchildren.
If this continues, the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty will be guarded by the vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor sits in the court, and the vassal king guards the territory. The court does not need military commanders, but only civilian officials.
Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a successful civil servant rebellion.
Zhu Yuanzhang's move can be said to be another method to fundamentally prevent military commanders from harming the country.
From now on, the military power in the world will all belong to the Zhu family, and this beautiful country will always belong to the Zhu family.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's beautiful fantasy about the future of the Ming Dynasty.
As Li Jin said, how could it be possible that what Zhu Yuanzhang thought of was only 200 years?
He also wants to pass this country on to the generations to come.
But all this is just his own beautiful fantasy.
Today at the wine table, all of this was ruthlessly exposed by Li Jin.
The so-called descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang are not necessarily the descendants of Zhu Biao.
How could Zhu Biao be so kind as to give up his country to others?
When Zhu Biao ascends the throne and sees the Ming vassal kings all over the world, what will he think?
Zhu Biao may miss his brotherly love, but what about Zhu Biao's son and grandson?
Three generations later, these people were nominally relatives, but they still lost their emotional ties.
At that time, in order to regain his power, the emperor must take action against the vassal king.
Brothers fight each other, uncles and nephews fight, the chaos of the Ming Dynasty comes from within, not from outside.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to do what Li Jin said.
If he really did what Li Jin did, his wishes would be completely disrupted.
Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his heart was numb and chaotic.
"Father? Father!!"
Unknowingly, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had returned to the study room.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still distracted, Zhu Biao couldn't help but raise his voice.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses. Seeing Zhu Biao's worried eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
"Father, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, it's just that something bothers my father."
While Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, he slowly sat on the chair and rubbed his brow with his right hand.
Zhu Biao heard this and asked tentatively:
"Is it because Li Jin said that he was granted the title of king to guard the border?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked:
"Biao'er, do you think Li Jin is right?"
"I think..."
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang might not be very satisfied with Li Jin's words.
But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him closely, Zhu Biao knew that lying was useless, so he had to take a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Jin is right!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he thought that Zhu Biao might not understand his intentions, so he couldn't help but explain aloud:
"Biao'er, do you know our intention of entrusting the king to guard the border?"
"We are doing it for the prosperity of our old Zhu family, for..."
Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Biao all his thoughts, and the general meaning was that he wanted the Zhu family to last forever.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao expectantly, hoping that Zhu Biao would agree with his point of view.
However, Zhu Biao fell into silence. He was no longer as weak and obedient as before. Instead, he lowered his head and frowned in thought.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he didn't say anything. He just looked at Zhu Biao, wanting to see what Zhu Biao had to say.
Not long after, Zhu Biao slowly raised his head, looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and said word by word:
"Father, this world belongs to the people, and this country is inhabited by virtuous people."
Zhu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole person immediately exuded an intimidating aura, making Zhu Biao feel extremely depressed.
But this momentum comes and goes even faster.
Seeing Zhu Biao's stubborn look, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and sighed:
"That's all, as Li Jin said, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"We don't care about that much."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked very helpless, and there was nothing he could do about it.
If something is not recognized by the next emperor, it is likely to be annulled by the next emperor.
Now Zhu Biao's unprecedented attitude shows Zhu Biao's attitude towards the vassal king.
It was possible to create vassal kings during the Hongwu dynasty, but the vassals must be eliminated later.
This is what Zhu Biao meant, and it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to forcefully change Zhu Biao's ideas.
"Thank you for your understanding, Father."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with what he thought, Zhu Biao showed a bright smile on his face and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"In this case, Li Jin can be regarded as a meritorious admonition. I wonder what my father wants to reward him?"
