Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 85 Should I Kneel or Get Up?
The scorching morning light spread across the square in front of the palace in the blink of an eye.

Dozens of generals marched into Wu Palace under the leadership of Feng Bingwen and Fei Ju, and their respectful attitude towards Zhu Ji and Li Wenzhong thoroughly taught Chang Mao to recognize the cold reality.

What Chang Mao didn't know was that if it was before yesterday, these warriors' attitudes towards Zhu Ji would not have been like this.

After the morning court yesterday, these warriors who were scolded bloody by Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to drink and have fun as usual.

At the invitation of Geng Bingwen, a group of people gathered in the Marquis of Changxing, and had a detailed discussion on the unusual words and deeds of the emperor in the court today.

Everyone knew that although they were born and died for Zhu Yuanzhang, the one sitting on the dragon chair was always suspicious and skeptical of their hard-working subordinates.

If it weren't for the remnants of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty who are still making waves, and Daming needs them to continue to work hard, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would have raised them like pigs.

So what happened in the court today is full of strange things.

The establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is bound to free them from the restraint of civil servants, and the power in their hands will be released unprecedentedly.

If there was no reason for the incident, how could Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been eager to put shackles around their necks, would have contributed to this incident despite the strong opposition of civil servants.

But what is this cause?
Was it Zhu Yuanzhang who became the governor himself after the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?
Absolutely not.

They may not know a lot of Chinese characters, but they are definitely not stupid.

Even if he doesn't become the governor, wouldn't the emperor be able to control the Ming army?Obviously not!With Zhu Yuanzhang's current prestige in the army, there is absolutely no need to do anything extra.

Then think about Zhu Ji, His Royal Highness King Yong, who suddenly showed his supernatural power. He used retreat as a way to advance and beat Hu Weiyong, who was strongly opposed to the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. , and Zhu Yuanzhang directly made Zhu Ji the governor of the governor's office, and the Wu Xun suddenly realized.

This is different from everything in the past, and it is definitely related to King Yong, who is favored by the emperor.

Different from those lively nomads in the countryside, these nobles know very well that the two Dukes Xu Da and Feng Sheng have already stood behind Zhu Ji, and now even the Duke of Cao and Li Wenzhong have a close relationship with Zhu Ji.

In the whole dynasty, if anyone would naturally have such a tolerant and friendly attitude towards them warriors, and could make the emperor suppress his suspicion of them, there would be no third person except King Yong.

They were excited after sitting in Changxing Hou Mansion for a long time.

Why do they have to risk their lives to be brothers and sisters with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong knowing that civil and military collusion is a taboo for emperors.

Isn't it because Zhu Yuanzhang has been suppressed hard these years, and he wants to use the power of the prime minister to let these martial arts have a certain right to speak in the court.

But after the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, they don't have to work hard to win these vain things.They only need to do their best in leading troops to fight, and the voice of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will naturally be shared with themselves.

Having figured out these joints, the Wu Xun members unanimously decided that they must respect and support Zhu Ji in the future.Regardless of whether the eldest prince will inherit the throne as the outside world said, they must support Zhu Ji as the leader of the Ming army after Zhu Yuanzhang.

So when a group of generals knelt down in front of them and shouted Your Highness, not only Chang Mao was a little dazed, but even Zhu Ji himself was a little confused.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is acting in military affairs, and these generals are still wearing armor because of their morning exercises.

Zhu Ji didn't think that his status as a prince would make the generals who were wearing armor unable to salute accept their heads and bow down.

Arming Geng Bingwen with one hand and Fei Ju with the other, Zhu Ji smiled bitterly and said:

"The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is the Cardinal of the Ming Dynasty's military affairs. Except for His Majesty, there is no need to salute like this with anyone. Besides, you are all my elders in theory. I am a little terrified to receive this great gift."

Zhu Ji has been keeping a low profile since returning to court, and the warriors who had never dealt with him at all were instantly overwhelmed by this word of no city.

Should I kneel down, or should I get up?
Let's talk about kneeling, it's really inappropriate for these generals in armor to kneel like this all the time.But speaking of it, who dares?
From the moment the Ming Dynasty was established, the prince with the blood of Zhu Yuanzhang was the most honorable person in the world besides the emperor and empress.

Who dares to talk about uncles and nephews with these princes?Has Lord Guorui allowed it?Even if it is allowed, who is impatient to live and dare to call the emperor brother and brother?
No one dares to be Zhu Ji's elder at this time, so unless Zhu Yuanzhang comes back and nods, they really dare not stand up.

Zhu Ji gave a hand and a hand, but he didn't help the two of them up.The helpless prince couldn't help turning his helpless eyes to Li Wenzhong, who was standing beside him and watching the show all the time:
"Cousin, why don't you help me, I'm weak, and they're too heavy for me to pull."

Seeing that these warriors sincerely respect Zhu Ji, Li Wenzhong knew that he had to make their respect for Zhu Ji even deeper:
"Don't be dazed, don't you want His Highness to help you up one by one?"

"This……?"

Geng Bingwen, Fei Ju and the others were still a little hesitant. If Zhu Yuanzhang had heard about the incident just now, wouldn't they be called to the palace to scold them, and then put them under confinement to repent?

The others were fine. Zhu Liangzu, who had just been cleaned up by Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't dare to shake his body.

Facing a group of cowardly Wu Xun, Zhu Ji finally gave up his plan to continue to compete against Geng Bingwen and Fei Ju.

Straightening his waist, he looked at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, which was blocked by houses and walls, and said faintly:
"I know that you are afraid of being punished by your father, but as an outsider, I still want to say a few words to you. Awe is necessary. But you can't become weak because of awe."

"Emperor Father has been harsh to you since you became the throne, and it cannot be said that it is for your own good, but you have to admit that if these constraints are removed, you will gradually live like the Mongolian people who harmed the people decades ago. The appearance of Yuan Tartars."

"Wealth is the most ecstasy, and now it has begun to slowly disintegrate your blood and will, and in the future, it will swallow your courage and force.

You are gradually becoming afraid of being punished by your father. To put it bluntly, you are afraid of losing the capital to continue to be arrogant.

The Metropolitan Government dare not put the responsibility of defending the country on a group of clay puppets who have completely lost themselves. "

Just as the group of warriors were pondering over Zhu Ji's heart-wrenching criticisms with shame on their faces, a burst of applause suddenly sounded behind them.
