Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 228
"If anyone says one more thing, I will kill him!"

"Come on, please pay attention to yourself." Tang He said with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Recently, many ministers have been writing letters to you, do you know?"

"Really?" Zhu Tuo was overjoyed and said eagerly: "So, there must be a lot of paper used? Father-in-law, do you think Yingtian Mansion will not have enough paper money?"

What I said was to impeach you, but as soon as you opened your mouth, you asked whether paper is expensive or not...

"Aren't you anxious? I've read a few brochures, and they speak clearly and clearly. They don't mean to confuse right and wrong. How do you explain it?" Tang He asked.

"What else do you need to prove? Fishing in troubled waters, fishing in troubled waters, my Zhu Tuo's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all the world. How can it be slandered by some Confucian people!" Zhu Tuo said proudly.

"You don't want to rebel?"

Zhu Tuo shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then why is Lingnan so rich?"

"That's because I have managed the country well. After I became a prince in Lingnan, I did everything I did, worked diligently, thought about it day and night, and spent a lot of effort to manage Lingnan in an orderly manner. Do you think being rich is a sin?"

"In this world, is there any reason, is there any law?"

"Why don't you report it to the government? You should know that the princes are the kings of the Ming Dynasty. What they do must be reported to the court. If they have any reservations, they have ulterior motives!"

"What are you reporting to the court for? Is it possible that you want the government to collect more taxes?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Where are the soldiers?"

"Deal with the tribes in the south."

Tang He advised earnestly: "Zhu Tuo, being an official is like walking on thin ice. You must think twice before doing anything. I also understand this, so I resigned from the position of general in advance and prepared to spend the rest of my life in Fengyang."

"Yes."

"Now, apart from Xu Da, there is no one else in the court. Hey, I had suggested Xu Da retire early to avoid being suspected by the emperor and end up following in the footsteps of Hu Weiyong."

Zhu Tuo felt happy and said with a smile: "Haha, you mean that my father doesn't know how to praise?"

Tang He stared at Zhu Tuo and said calmly: "We are all father-in-law and mother-in-law, so I'll put it bluntly.

You, this emperor is a wise and mighty king, you act swiftly and resolutely, remember, don't make him angry, understand? "

Zhu Tuo looked at Tang He's serious look, nodded with sincerity, and said: "I also know about this matter, father. In fact, I think those ministers all look like apes, and they don't know how to do it at all." Listen to their nonsense."

"Really?" Langdon laughed.

"It's true."

Zhu Tuo knew that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, had a poor family when he was very young and worked as a shepherd boy in a landlord's house.Then, he changed from an ordinary little person to a generation of emperor.

The change of identity made him a little confused and gave him a strong desire for power.

As long as someone dares to affect him, he will take action against them.

But Zhu Tuo is not that big of a risk, and Zhu Yuanzhang is very good to his son.

This can be seen from the fact that he appointed several of his sons as vassal kings in various places.

In his opinion, if his children can become talented, it doesn't matter how strong he is.

No matter what, the Ming Dynasty belongs to Zhu.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of the situation in Lingnan, but he never reprimanded him.Therefore, if these scholars want to use this to attack him, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Tang He sighed and said, "Even if this is the case, you can't be the target of public criticism. In the future, if Xin'er gets married to you and your reputation is ruined, what will happen?" Zhu Tuo was startled, he really hadn't considered this.

In the past, when he was single, he didn't care about face or shame, he just did what he liked.

"Well, I'll think of a way." Zhu Tuo walked away worried.

Zhu Tuo thought hard for several days, his head was about to be scratched, and he still had no clue.

Then he called Yang Rong and Shi Jing over and said, "I have a problem now. You two good apprentices, please help me find a solution."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Well, although I have a good reputation now, is there any way you can improve my reputation?" Zhu Tuo said with a frown.

Yang Rong immediately flattered him: "The master is better than Yao and Shun, more intelligent than Xiao He, and more courageous than the overlord. He is perfect in all aspects. There is really nothing that can be improved!"

"Ahem, I am indeed outstanding, but as the saying goes, the more outstanding you are, the more people will envy you. Today's scholars can't compare to me in terms of talent, learning, or appearance." In any case, the gap between him and me is not very big. , but very different.So they falsely accused me and even filed a memorial. Alas, I've had enough. I wonder if you have any good ideas? "

"Master, Yi Er did this!"

Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong responded at the same time, and they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Zhu Tuo's eyes sparkled, he stared at the two of them, and said, "Everyone has a word, I would like to hear what good ideas you two have."

Shi Jingtong said loudly: "Sir, you can put a hat on me, and then point out to me, let me point out a deer as a horse, let me point out a deer as a horse. In this way, we can truly "kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds", and who will come looking for us in the future? Your trouble."

Zhu Tuo curled his lips, too lazy to talk to the bastard, and turned his head to look at the reliable Yang Rong.

"Teacher, you, a vassal king, have been impeached. They are all scholars, and you cannot be too arrogant towards them. In my opinion, you can report this matter to the emperor and let him give you an explanation."

Zhu Tuo looked at Qin Yu, but shook his head: "You don't understand this. Once father takes action, this matter will become big. Hey, can I just be an idle vassal king?
Can your father take action? "

Yang Rong lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. The other civil and military officials are just afraid of your Majesty's strength. If your Majesty is willing to give in, they will not embarrass your Majesty."

He touched his chin and nodded helplessly.

Hey, it's really unpleasant to give in in front of them.

Zhu Tuo sought help from Yao Guangxiao again.

When Yao Guangxiao heard what Zhu Tuo said, he thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity!"

Yao Guangxiao’s proposal was very convincing and hit the nail on the head: “Your Majesty, your problem is not the conflict with the civil servants and generals, but the conflict with the emperor’s grandson.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Tuo frowned.

"Your power is too great and may even pose a threat to the position of the king and grandson. Therefore, the focus of this matter is not that Lingnan is too powerful, but that your power is too great and is beyond the control of the imperial court."

"Now that Your Majesty has come to the capital, all civil and military officials regard Your Majesty as an enemy. The weakness shown by Your Majesty can only temporarily reassure them, but it will definitely not reassure them."

"The only thing you can do now is for your Majesty to find his grandson himself."

"Ah? You asked me to ask my nephew for help? Is there any mistake? Do I have to bow when I see my nephew?" Zhu Tuo was furious.

"No need."
