The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Ashikaga Yoshimi blocked the news with full marks, and he wanted to launch a sneak attack on Yan Wang Zhu Di.

In name, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu occupies a considerable advantage.

Although Daming is very strong, but this time it was Yan Wang Zhu Di who started the war first, and his Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was just passive defense.

This allowed him to explain to Daming.

Without this explanation, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would not have the courage to go to war directly.

Moreover, he learned that the four vassal kings were not of one mind, and they wished that King Yan would suffer.

As long as it doesn't hurt King Yan's life, it doesn't matter what you do.

It's just that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu forgot that he can go to Kyushu Island to arrange spies. Couldn't Yan Wang Zhu Di arrange spies to Honshu Island?
Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Jinyiwei system, and it was Zhu Di who restored this system again.

Intelligence news has always been a place that Zhu Di attaches great importance to. Ever since he came to Wa, Zhu Di has been spending a lot of money to build his own intelligence agency.

Not to mention Kyushu Island, the other three vassals are also infiltrated by Zhu Di's intelligence personnel.

At the beginning, Zhu Di had a hard time learning from the loss he suffered when he faced Zhu Ying in the capital.

The reason why Zhu Ying can grasp the news in advance is not because the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence organization personnel are excellent.

Therefore, Zhu Di learned from the original model of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

For example, Xu Huyou, a sea merchant.

The former Zhu Di, following his father's temper, had always been disdainful of businessmen.

With the change of his father, Zhu Di naturally had to change accordingly.

At the moment, in a shop next to the palace.

Two people are thinking about it.

They are not Han Chinese, but authentic, native Japanese.

But last year, he became Zhu Di's secret informant.

As for the reason, it's very simple, it's all about money.

As long as they sell the information on the Kyoto side of Honshu Island to Zhu Di, they can get a considerable benefit.

"The royal palace was slaughtered. This should be considered a major event. I don't know how much money King Yan will give us."

"Whatever, maybe King Yan is not interested in this news? It doesn't matter how much it is, it's all for nothing. In the past year, the money we got from King Yan is more than making money from opening a store."

"Hey, sometimes I really don't want to do it anymore. If the family finds out about it, we will definitely have a bad life. It's like stabbing the general. I'm afraid we will be killed. We really risk losing our heads. "

"You stupid, can we stop at this time? We can't stop anymore. If you say no, believe it or not, King Yan will sell our affairs to the general after changing hands. This is already the case now. I can only go one way to the dark, and there is no turning back."

"I'm just saying, I still know the consequences."

"Don't think too much, I'll tell you good news, as long as the news we bring to King Yan is of sufficient value, then we can let our son leave Wa Kingdom and go to Daming, King Yan has already agreed. "

"Really, don't lie to me."

"Why should I lie to you? For us, this is a big matter, but for King Yan, it's just a matter of one sentence. King Yan wouldn't deceive us for such a trivial matter."

"Since this is the case, then I can rest assured. Hurry up and tell King Yan the news that the palace was massacred by the general. As soon as these two county kings left, there was such a change in the palace. Obviously there is something wrong with the general."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, feeling very unhappy.

It's rare to come out once, so naturally you have to play enough.

They are distinguished, especially here in the Wa Kingdom. Except for the King of Wa and the Great General, other famous names are known as the King of Daming County, and they can't wait to kneel down and lick their boots.

Dinner, singing and dancing, all well prepared.

This naturally delayed the trip.

Before they even returned to Yan City, the King of Yan had already learned the news about the slaughter of the palace.

In the main hall of Prince Yan's palace.

"Father, the child is lucky to live up to his fate, and reached an agreement with the Japanese king, and brought back 10 taels of silver first, which is regarded as the sincerity of the Japanese king."

"At that time, the father and the king will cooperate with the king of Japan to hoard troops at the border and attract Yoshimitsu Ashikaga to come over. The king of Japan will integrate the army and seize military power."

Zhu Gaoxu said in a complacent manner in the main hall.

But he didn't notice that Zhu Di's face had already darkened.

"Oh, it seems that you have contributed a lot to this trip." Zhu Di's tone was full of joy and anger.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, and replied casually: "It's all because of the good guidance of the father, and the child dare not be greedy for merit."

Zhu Di did not continue to talk to Zhu Gaojiu, but turned to Zhu Gaosui and asked: "Lao San, do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Gaoxu was dazzled by joy, but Zhu Gaosui kept paying attention to his father's expression.

When the second brother said 10 taels of silver, his father's face changed, and his heart sank.

He knew that it must be the fact that he and his second brother had embezzled 10 taels of silver and was discovered by his father.

Hearing the question, he immediately hesitated.

"I'm asking you, third child, are you deaf!"

Zhu Di's tone was obviously very angry.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already reacted, and was suddenly a little uneasy.

"Father, forgive me, father, forgive me!"

Without being frightened, Zhu Gaosui fell to his knees and kowtowed to the ground.

He knew how fierce his father was, and such a large amount of money would definitely inevitably lead to a violent beating.

Zhu Di got up, walked up to Zhu Gaosui, and kicked him over.

He said sharply, "Forgive me, what crime do you forgive, but tell me how big a crime you have committed."

After Zhu Gaosui fell to the ground, he turned over and crawled again, but he didn't dare to answer.

At this time, he did not dare to betray his brother.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was a little dazed when his father was furious, but suddenly thought of something, pointed at Xu Huyou and cursed: "You are, you told the father about the 10 taels of silver, right? "

"You despicable businessman, I shouldn't have believed your nonsense in the first place, so I should have killed you!"

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that his teeth itched.

In order to covet Mo's 10 taels of silver, he and Zhu Gaosui divided 4 taels, Xu Huyou 5000 taels, and the remaining 5000 taels to the accompanying soldiers.

Now that Xu Huyou took his own money and told his father about it, he really betrayed their two brothers.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu has already vowed in his heart that he must be killed in the future to vent the hatred in his heart at this moment.

However, the next thing he saw, Xu Huyou's complexion changed drastically, he knelt on the ground in fear, and kowtowed to his father: "Prince Yan, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned by this reversal scene.

In this situation, even a fool can see that Xu Huyou never said anything about being greedy for 10 taels of silver.

The father was naturally angry because of other things.

Then I just said about the 10 taels of silver all at once?

Snapped!
A loud slap hit Zhu Gaoxu's face directly.

The strong force shot out in anger, and knocked him to the ground directly. The burning pain on the left side made Zhu Gaoxu lose his temper.

However, this is not the end.

Zhu Di was furious, and immediately went over and kicked Zhu Gaoxu hard.

"You stupid bastard, you still say that you want to take the place of your elder brother to be the crown prince, just a fool like you, it is simply whimsical."

"Even if you dare to take this money, there is nothing else you dare not do."

"Do you really think that being a general and being able to kill a few people is your great ability?"

"Bring my king's sword, today I will behead this unfaithful, disloyal and unfilial son!"

Zhu Di yelled violently, and the guards present were all trembling with fright, but none of them left to get the King Yan sword.

The prince just said this, who would dare to take it seriously.

If the saber is really brought over, do you think the prince will kill or not with this sword?

"Is it wrong? You don't even listen to my king's words." Zhu Di turned to look at the surrounding guards and scolded.

The personal guards in the hall, including General Zhu Neng, all knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak.

Zhu Neng who was on the side thought to himself: It would be great if Zhang Yu was here, he would definitely be able to persuade King Yan.

Zhu Neng is a brave general, not a wise general.

King Yan has always listened to Zhang Yu's advice.

It's a pity that Zhang Yu led the army to patrol the surrounding area at this time.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door.

I saw Xu Yihua walking over with two court ladies.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

Seeing Xu Yihua, Zhu Di's originally angry face faded a bit.

"If I don't come, wouldn't Xu'er be killed by you? Others say that tigers are poisonous and don't eat their children, but you are kind, you don't even let your own son go." Xu Yihua said with a cold snort.

Zhu Di quickly explained: "Ma'am, you don't know how greedy this bastard is, he's greedy for 10 taels of silver."

"And not only that, the palace was completely slaughtered by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and this bastard is still enjoying himself on the road, delaying the military plane like this, greedy for military pay, what else is this bastard afraid to do."

Hearing this, Xu Yihua looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was lying on the ground with swollen face and blood at the corner of his mouth, and felt a little distressed in his heart.

She loves Zhu Gaochi, and she also loves the second and third sons, both of whom were born after she was pregnant for ten months and almost died.

Which mother doesn't feel sorry for the meat that fell from her body.

"This is what Xu'er and the others did wrong. They should be punished and beaten. As a mother, I don't say much, but the crime is not enough to die."

"You want to kill your own son every now and then, so that you can show your King Yan demeanor by killing your relatives righteously."

"Where is the sword, Zhu Neng, go and get it for the prince, even my mother-in-law should be killed today."

Xu Yihua stared at Zhu Di and said.

At this moment, Zhu Neng would not dare to take the blame.

The prince and his wife quarreled, and it was his subordinates who suffered the most.

Then he half-kneeled like a sculpture, pretending he couldn't hear.

"Ma'am, why are you bothering? I just reprimanded you, how could I really kill my son?"

Zhu Di's tone softened.

Emotionally, Zhu Di is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, and has always respected his wife very much.

Empress Ma has helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot in the cause of founding the country, and the credit for the founding of the Ming Dynasty is no less than that of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

Similarly, Xu Yihua, who grew up beside Empress Ma, also helped Zhu Di a lot.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that the harem should not interfere in politics.

In fact, he never cared about Empress Ma intervening in government affairs.

The father and son are in this area, and they are almost the same.

Xu Yihua didn't answer, but turned to look at the two sons, and scolded: "From now on, this palace will not belong to you, and it's thanks to you that you are greedy for your own money."

"Especially you, Xu'er, your elder brother is currently ruling in Annan, and His Majesty and his grandson value him. A letter came a few days ago. Everything is fine there, so you can't follow your elder brother's example."

"If your eldest brother makes contributions, he will be able to gain a foothold in Annan, so there is no need for the position of the eldest son."

Xu Yihua is reminding Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaochi has already developed in Annan. If everything goes well, he will not come here to inherit the palace if there is no accident.

The future palace will naturally belong to Zhu Gaoxu.

It also includes the throne.

In fact, these things can be thought of after a little thought.

It's just that Xu Yihua has already seen that his second son probably didn't think of this at all, otherwise he wouldn't be greedy for his own money.

"Father, mother, the child knows his mistake, and he will never dare again."

Zhu Gaoxu knelt on the ground and said hesitantly.

His swollen face made it difficult for him to speak.

Seeing this, Zhu Di snorted coldly, "I know I'm wrong, you know what's wrong."

"Now that you have arrived in Yancheng like this, have you ever heard about the palace?"

"If I hadn't made arrangements earlier, you, a rebellious son, would have asked your father to lead troops there, but you didn't know that you had already fallen into the trap of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't believe it and said: "Where did he have the courage to set up the father to ambush the king?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "For decades before, the Wa country was caught in a civil war between the North and the South, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was able to unify the Wa country and end the chaos between the North and the South, isn't it a person who has earned his name in vain."

"The one who killed the Japanese palace is not a coward. He deliberately blocked the news of the palace, just to let the matter between the father and the Japanese continue. If the king leads the army to the border, he will naturally have ambushed several times. One hundred thousand troops."

"He really didn't dare to kill the king, but how many soldiers will die under this ambush. In name, this time, the king sent troops first and broke the covenant. He was just forced to fight back. There are things to explain.”

"The fact that we are hiding mines now has already offended your grandfather. If we lose so many elite soldiers, we will go to the court to plead guilty."

"Your uncles will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and take away the mines at the junction."

"At that time, let's put aside the development of Yanwang City, maybe I, Yanwang, will be banned from the capital."

Hearing these answers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were sweating profusely and panicked.

They didn't expect things to be so serious.

On the other side, Xu Huyou was trembling with fright.

According to this situation, it feels like King Yan cut off his head is considered light.

When Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui wanted to share the silver with him, he really didn't want to take it, but he refused to take it, which made the two princes worried.

I was in a dilemma, so I had no choice but to accept it.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu misunderstood it again, it was really an innocent disaster.

While thinking, King Yan turned his gaze.

"How much did you take?"

Hearing King Yan's question, Xu Huyou hurriedly said: "The villain took 5000 taels."

Zhu Di asked again: "How much did the others share?"

Xu Huyou's heart trembled, and he replied: "A total of 5000 taels of silver will be distributed to the accompanying soldiers."

Zhu Di actually didn't mean to blame Xu Huyou.

Let alone 5000 taels, even 10 taels are not too much for Xu Huyou.

He knew that Xu Huyou's Xu family was engaged in sea trade smuggling before the sea was opened.

After opening the sea, he made a lot of money.

It's just that the imperial court severely cracked down on smuggling sea merchants, which made the Xu family seek refuge under their own command, and at the same time work for the Yan Palace.

The money of filial piety alone is already in the millions.

Naturally, his two sons forced Xu Huyou to take this matter.

But Zhu Di would not let him go so easily.

"Afterwards, I will hand over 30 yuan as military pay." Zhu Di said casually.

Xu Huyou was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, King Yan."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were dumbfounded.

They deceived each other, and the two shared a total of [-] silver.

When I got to my father's place, it cost 30 guan in one sentence.

Xu Huyou still needs to be grateful to Dade.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

"The money received by the accompanying soldiers will not be collected. Let them go to the army to lead [-] battles each, so as to serve as an example to others."

"As for the two of you, return all the silver taels you have embezzled, go to the general position, and be reduced to pawns."

"If you can make meritorious service in the battle this time, then consider resuming your official position."

Zhu Di said with a cold snort.

"My lord is wise."

Zhu Neng took the lead in shouting, and then Xu Huyou and other guards followed suit.

This is Zhu Di's kindness and prestige.

Each of the soldiers in the entourage was divided into more than 100 guns, and Zhu Di didn't bother to take it back. The [-]th military battle was not a small punishment, but it was a severe blow.

After receiving these twenty military battles, at least ten days and a half months will not be able to get out of bed.

Zhu Di also knew that these soldiers had blamed his two sons, but that's how military regulations are.

If you make a mistake, you have to be punished.

The soldiers who were beaten afterwards would not have any complaints. After all, more than 100 punctures are not counted as decimals for the bottom.

"Father, that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is obviously a trap, let's go." Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.

Zhu Di sneered: "If you allow him to design it for me, don't you allow me to follow suit?"

"It just so happens that you two rebellious sons will act as pawns this time, and go to your uncle, the uncle of the emperor, and tell the matter."

"This Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't bear it. Why did the king never want to enter the Honshu Island? Now that he is here, if he doesn't leave something behind, it seems that the king is afraid of him."

"As for the imperial court, when the time comes to report the whole story, it's just a nonchalant blaming."

"As long as it doesn't trigger a war between the two countries, it's not a big deal."

Hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui immediately felt happy.

I made up my mind that this time I want to get back today's loss from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Especially Zhu Gaoxu, this beating was not for nothing.
