Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 14 Lao Zhu's Choice Difficulty

Lan Yu felt a little bit of resentment towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was good to his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun and their Lan family, the execution of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang had a great impact on him.

Even though he didn't think much of these two people before they were alive, he still couldn't help but feel sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox, and the feeling that things hurt their own kind.

Therefore, he pinned all his hopes on the prince.

Because the prince is benevolent, only when the prince ascends the throne can his uncle have a chance of life.

Based on this, when Lan Yu learned that the prince had passed away, her inner breakdown can be imagined.

In his opinion, their old Zhu's family is dead with such a conscience, can he not collapse...

Now that butcher Zhu is still saying such things in front of her face, Lan Yu wants to spit on him all the time!

Seeing that Lan Yu didn't answer for a long time, Lao Zhu immediately felt a little unhappy.

"What?"

"Is there anything wrong with us saying that?"

When Lan Yu heard this, she quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and squeezed out a few tears.

"The words of the superior remind me of my brother-in-law who has passed away for many years. If my brother-in-law is alive, he will pull the superior every day, bragging how he can sweep the world with a hundred thousand soldiers, woo woo woo..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Lan Yu tell this allusion, he was also very sad.

During his lifetime, Chang Yuchun often boasted to others that giving him one hundred thousand soldiers would sweep the world, so some people jokingly called him Chang Hundred Thousand.

"Yes!"

"If our Chang Shiwan is still alive, Bei Yuan Zao Te Niang is gone, and there is no need for such a toss!"

Lan Yu heard the words and hurriedly took the donkey down the slope to be humble.

"What the superior is saying is that if Lan had a half-brother-in-law who is half as capable as a general, the superior wouldn't be so worried!"

Lao Zhu patted Lan Yu's arm, sighed.

"Ugh!"

"Hurry up and eat, let's not talk about the past!"

"Tell us about the handling at the border. If you come back suddenly, nothing will happen, right?"

Lan Yu hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

"Reporting to the superior, when the minister returns, let Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, and Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou, act as agents for the affairs of the army."

"As for the matter of border defense, the minister has already dealt with it properly, and Bei Yuan has already fled far away, so he dare not knock on the border, so the superiors don't have to worry about it."

Hearing the words, Old Zhu let out a soft "Oh", indicating that he understood, but the pupils of his eyes could not help shrinking, and he paid attention to Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, and Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou.

All his life, he was most jealous of subordinates forming cliques for personal gain. If Lan Yu would hand over the general affairs to the deputy commander or something, he could accept it, but handing it over to these two cronies made him feel a little bit guilty.

"These two are quite talented, and they have been in the army for a long time, so nothing will happen!"

While the two were talking, Zhu Yuanzhang's guard leader, Erhu, brought some eunuchs from the dining room over and added some meat dishes to the table.

When Lao Zhu saw the meat dishes coming, he kept calling Lan Yu to eat the dishes.

However, Sapphire seemed to have an affair with green vegetables. He only tasted meat and vegetables, but he devoured green vegetables.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu was immediately dissatisfied, thinking that this guy was doubting himself, afraid that he would poison the food!
This guy doesn't even think about it, if we want his life, why bother?
Lan Yu took a few mouthfuls of rice, and seeing that Lao Zhu was motionless, she hurriedly took a peek.Seeing that Lao Zhu was looking at him with a gloomy face, his heart immediately sank.

The old butcher won't doubt himself again, will he?

But I just focused on eating and didn't talk at all!

Have a meal?

Could it be that because he didn't eat meat, the old butcher was suspicious?
Thinking of this, Lan Yu hurriedly picked up a dish of fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, put half of the plate into her own bowl, and started to eat again.

While eating, he explained vaguely.

"Master, you don't know that we have no shortage of mutton and the like in Bianguan, but we only have fried bamboo shoots and vegetables in Jiangnan, which are good things that no amount of money can buy!"

Seeing what Lan Yu said, and seeing that his food was delicious, Lao Zhu got rid of his doubts, and picked up his rice bowl to eat with him.

The two ate very quickly, and they ate up all the food on the table in a short while, and even Lao Zhu was taken by Lan Yugui to eat half a bowl more.

"Have you ever had enough?"

Sapphire patted her belly, pretending to be unrestrained.

"Reporting to the superior, to be honest, we are only half full, hehehe..."

Old Zhu pointed at Lan Yu and scolded with a smile.

"Don't call yourself a madman from now on, just change your name to a blue rice bucket!"

"I won't give you food if you're half full. You run thousands of miles, and you have to go back to rest after a while. If you eat too much, it's easy to accumulate food!"

"Thank you, sir, for your concern."

Lan Yu and Lao Zhu were polite, and their tone immediately became hesitant.

"Superior, when I first entered the East Palace, I saw His Highness Zhu Yunxie, and he didn't even remember me, this is..."

When Lao Zhu heard Lan Yu's question, a trace of guilt flashed across his face.

"Ugh!"

"According to Imperial Physician Hao, the child broke his body from crying and suffered from the disease of leaving the soul, and can't remember many things."

"When this child is at his worst, let alone he doesn't recognize you, he doesn't even know who he is!"

Sapphire became anxious when she heard this.

"How good is this!"

"By the way, did Imperial Doctor Hao say how it can be cured?"

"Doctor Hao only said that he will recover slowly, but he can't say how long it will take. Maybe he won't be able to remember everything in his lifetime."

Old Zhu sighed.

"However, if you lose your horse, you never know it's a blessing."

"We saw that after the child got sick, he became much more cheerful and smart than before?"

When Lan Yu heard what Lao Zhu said, her eyes lit up.

What Zhu Tuhu said was so right!

Looking at Zhu Yunxi's behavior when he quarreled with Mrs. Lu today, it is completely different from before!
If it was in the past, let alone quarreling with others, this child would cry for a long time even if someone threatened him with a few words.

However, today, instead of being frightened by others, this child used his own name to frighten others!
It's just that these scaring words are a bit too much. Since when did his uncle be so capable, he can block and kill gods, and Buddhas can block and kill Buddhas!
What frustrates him the most is that where did he get a hundred thousand soldiers, thanks to what his grandson said!

If the higher-ups knew about this, they might even mutter and think that they had a heart of disobedience.

However, listening to the inside and outside meaning of what the superior said just now, it seems that he has a good impression of Zhu Yunxi?

This is a pleasant surprise, if the superior really has our nephew in his heart, the position of the crown prince is not impossible to fight for!
Thinking of this, Lan Yu's heart suddenly became eager, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally decided how to test it.

"Superior, this kid Yunxi is not too young, he is almost at the age of becoming a king, isn't he?"

"King Feng..."

Old Zhu suddenly became hesitant. If there was only one Zhu Yunqi, then he would definitely make Zhu Yunqi the emperor's grandson without hesitation.

But now he finds that Zhu Yunxi seems to be pretty good too, and he just has the cleverness that Zhu Yunqi's child lacks.

If you train him well for a few years and let him read more books, he may not be able to become a qualified prince.

Moreover, the two are not much different in age, and their identities are similar, both are legitimate sons.

After comprehensive consideration, Lao Zhu suddenly discovered that he had a difficulty in choosing!
Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't reply for a long time, Lan Yu couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Superior?"

"what……"

"Lan Yu, Yunxi is still young, isn't he?"

"Why don't we become kings in a few years?"

"Aha..."
