Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 49: Adoptive Son Hongwu Emperor Has Been Suspicious for a Long Time
Mu Ying's whole body was shaken, just now, what he received was the order to supervise the construction of Fengyang, the central capital.He has a cautious and honest temperament, only when Lao Zhu blamed him for not being dedicated enough, he clasped his fists and wanted to kneel down: "I am anxious to return to Beijing, and I am not able to do things well..."

"Hey." Lao Zhu put his hands together and supported Mu Ying who was about to kneel down. "You child, everything is good. It is this attitude, which is also born! It is our will to stop the construction. If you are in a hurry to return to Beijing, what's the problem?"

Helping Mu Ying to stand upright, he said again: "It is Lao Wu's own idea to order that Lao Wu doesn't have to study. That guy is full of thoughts of avoiding laziness, so he can't pull him back. We just found a random reason, It’s good to stop the talk of those masters.”

"It's so?" Mu Ying was startled, thinking about the tired look of her adopted brother when she was with her, but suddenly realized.He himself felt embarrassed: "It's my son who blamed you."

"Although you are not our parent and child, but you are more sympathetic than our parent and child, can you still blame you?" Old Zhu smiled boldly.Then his face became serious: "From your tone, do you know what that Nizi's method is?"

"Yes." Mu Ying didn't dare to hide. "Back in the past, when we lived temporarily in the mansion, my son was on good terms with His Highness the Fifth Highness. Every shocking thing His Highness said really benefited my son a lot."

"Your Highness Fifth...he is also your younger brother. You just spoke out to support the maritime affairs, and it was also the fifth who taught you?" Old Zhu asked.

"That's not true. However, His Highness Fifth... My brother-in-law once told me that there are great opportunities in the sea. In the Song Dynasty, there were only half of the country, and the soldiers were weak, and they paid tribute year after year, but they were still rich and extravagant. Westerners do business. Let me count the countries in the West. It is said that there is a country in the West called Rome, which is prosperous and strong, comparable to the great Han."

"The son thought it was just a child's joke. The righteous brother is still young and has not yet experienced much. How can he know the situation of the foreign country thousands of miles away? Later, he captured a one-yuan official and asked him to speak on a whim. Only then did he know that there is a country. "

"The people of the Yuan Dynasty once conquered their country in the west and plundered its goods. Compared with our big country in the Central Plains, this country is not much richer. I know that my brother's talents are amazing. Although he is still young, he has already read a lot of books and knows everything in the world. .”

"The foster brother's talent and learning have already been seen at that time. It's just that he doesn't know why, but he always hides his clumsiness..."

Old Zhu pondered for a while, already thinking that after all, Yinger's background is too hard and his knowledge is too little.Take Lao Wu's knowledge of time travelers as reading a book.

"Then, how much do you know about Lao Wu?" Lao Zhu asked.

"As far as I know... he often described to me that overseas is far and wide, and a man should show his prestige in the sea, and he also said something like 'why don't men wear Wu hooks and charge ninety continents in North America'...that's about it."

"What? Does Emperor Father have any doubts?" Mu Ying saw the seriousness on Old Zhu's face.

"..." Old Zhu thought about it for a while, and when he saw Mu Ying's clear and adoring eyes, his heart couldn't help but move.He sighed secretly: Forget it, Yinger is my confidant, not an outsider of my Zhu family.It doesn't matter if you tell him.

The guards had already been waved away by him before, and there was no third person in Jinshen Hall at this moment.Lao Zhu organized his words, and said to Mu Ying in a low voice: "Then you know, Lao Wu is no longer the former Lao Wu!"

"This... what?" Mu Ying was startled.Immediately there was a killing intent on his face: "Could it be that there is a monster who took his body away..." As he said that, he immediately wanted to turn around and leave the palace to save his fifth younger brother.He even forgot to bid farewell to the emperor.

"Ying'er, don't be in a hurry. We... just have this concern." Lao Zhu quickly stopped him, signaling him to stay calm. "He... actually showed us his cards by himself. He also told us about the tragic situation when we perish in the future. These days, we are killing the Jurchen and the Jianshui division, just to make up for future generations. "

"This..." Mu Ying didn't understand for a while. "If he's a monster, how dare he expose himself? Could it be that he wants to use his fifth younger brother's status to slander you, so as to harm our Ming Dynasty?"

"We also have this concern. The so-called 'a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers'. Who knows if this beast is really here to harm my Daming." Old Zhu said, and then he smiled. "So, we've been just pretending to be false, pretending to believe in him, and just watching the changes."

If Zhu Su knew this, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat.In his previous life, he had read a lot of those little blunt essays, and he had always regarded himself as Zhu Su himself. How could he have imagined that Lao Zhu, who usually obeyed his words and asked questions at every turn, had secretly become suspicious of him?

All emperors and kings are suspicious.If Lao Zhu is a gullible Tie Hanhan, he will not be the founding emperor of the Ming Empire!
It can only be said that his reckless appearance is too deceiving.Even Zhu Su, who has been a man for two lifetimes, was deceived by him.

As long as he is his own son, and Lao Zhu loves his heirs in history, no matter what happens, he can protect himself.

"But...but why did you really go to kill Jurchen and Jianshui Master?" Mu Ying said dully.Old Zhu sat back to defend the case with his hands on his back: "Even though we thought he was a demon before, but even if he is a monster, shouldn't we still be afraid?"

"He predicted the Northern Expedition completely. Even if he is a monster, he is capable. Can't we use him? Before, I just wanted to drag him first, and then call some good mages and Taoists to see if I can do it." Exorcising evil and saving your foster brother. I don’t want to think about the things he said, it’s really annoying!” Thinking of the messy things at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn’t help but patted the table.

"He spoke in great detail. Whenever he had a question, he would answer it right away. I don't think he's lying. If we, the emperor, want to bite the bait, we have to show some bait first, right? Even a demon can know 500 years before and 500 years later. Year."

"If he wants to harm us, he will definitely start from the subtleties. While we are obeying him now, he will deliberately make some alarmist slanders. We deliberately don't ask him about his future life, and only ask him about government affairs and state affairs. It is expected that we will only ask Political affairs, no matter good or bad, we can also discard the chaff and keep the chaff. He can actually bring out the strategy of the later generations, and he speaks the truth. But some details, but he seems to know nothing about it. He really looks like an ordinary person who traveled from the later generations. As for There is not a single word of those hurtful words."

"Those methods of controlling him are good methods. Why don't we use them? Recruiting Jurchen and visiting the Americas are also small things, which will not harm the national system. If you do it, you will do it. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case."

"It's just that I didn't expect to spend so much money to build a Laoshizi navy."

Old Zhu showed distress, but Mu Ying only cared about her little stepbrother, and hearing how much old Zhu depended on that demon, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Father! Even if that demon is really talented, if he takes over little five body, as family members, how can we not do our best to save it?" There was already a bit of blame in the words.

"Don't worry." Old Zhu said. "That's the problem. If he is a demon, why does he want to be a demon for me wholeheartedly, without any intention of harming him? Besides, your godmother once lied to him, and he answered fluently, sincerely, without any falsehood."

"Your godmother guessed, maybe, he is really not a monster, but when his soul was reincarnated, he forgot to drink Mengpo soup."

"This..." With such bizarre twists and turns, Mu Ying was a little dizzy.He stroked it, and said: "So, the fifth younger brother was not harmed by the demon, but just awakened Su Hui from his previous life?"

"It is said that there are Living Buddhas in the west, each of them is the reincarnation of the previous one, and they all bring the wisdom of the previous life, and they were also treated by Yuan court. There is no wind, no waves, so it can be seen that although this incident is strange, it may not be unheard of." Old Zhu said.

"His identity is unknown, and we are naturally worried about placing him in this central place in the palace, so we let him be raised by Biu'er. You have always been cautious, and you have been getting closer to him these days. I also told Biu'er, You two should investigate carefully to see if he is our Su'er..."

　Finally, I feel more comfortable in my body. A few days ago, my head was dizzy because of the bad sun. Looking back today, I feel that the wording is really... But I don’t bother to change it.Anyway, it's not too far from the outline.
