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

Chapter 47 Hang him from the tree

"Your Majesty, take care."

"This scene reminds me of a story."

Zhang Wei looked at Shi Ziliang in surprise, thinking that although his imperial censor was strong in combat, he was far from good in terms of talent and learning. It was really incredible that he could think of such a thing.

There was nothing that could be done about it, after all, Shi Ziliang was a robber.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but said: "Who is it?"

Shi Ziliang sighed: "The storm is coming. Once a hero leaves, he will never come back. It was the same when Jing Ke assassinated the Emperor of Qin by the Yishui River.

This metaphor is very appropriate.
Zhang Wei quickly winked at Zhu Tuo, and Zhu Tuo breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear what he said.

If Zhu Tuo heard this, he would have to kill him.

"Wait for me!" Zhu Tuo shouted.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Zhu Tuo laughed loudly and immediately rode on his horse, followed closely by more than a dozen guards behind him. They looked at Zhu Tuo's leaving figure without taking another look.

Zhu Tuo went to the capital this time. After careful consideration, he did not bring many guards, only about ten people.

"Lu Qing, how long will it take us to reach the capital?" Zhu Tuo led the way, sitting on a tall horse, and said.

"In more than ten days."

"It's been more than ten days." Zhu Tuo rubbed his cheek and murmured to himself: "I almost forgot what kind of place this is."

Lu Qing frowned, "Your Majesty, you haven't returned to Beijing for three years. It will be very unfamiliar when you come back this time, but you must remember you."

"Father."

Zhu Tuo thought about it carefully. To be honest, he had forgotten what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was. He had only stayed in the palace for more than half a year. In these six months, he had only seen Zhu Yuanzhang once.

In his memory, Zhu Yuanzhang was a graceful man, not the legendary "shoehorn".

"It doesn't matter, this royal robe belongs to my father."

"No, my lord, have you really forgotten the emperor?"

"Forgot?" Zhu Tuo sneered: "My father still doesn't know that I forgot him. Besides, three years have passed, and I don't think my father will remember my appearance."

In the evening, everyone rested here, and Zhu Tuo distributed the roasted animal meat.

"Then trouble Your Majesty."

Zhu Tuo didn't answer. He was grilling a piece of barbecue in his hand on the fire, looking particularly calm.

Lu Qing said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Tuo looked at the fire soaring into the sky and shook his head: "My impression of this palace is very vague. In my impression, my mother should be an unpopular concubine, but she is very She was gentle and never lost her temper even in front of the eunuchs in the palace."

"I have been studying in the Imperial Academy since I was a child and studied hard. But then my mother died and I was very sad, so I ran away to Lingnan in a daze."

Zhu Tuo looked at Lu Qing again, "Lu Qing, what were you thinking when you were wandering around in the world?"

There was a trace of nostalgia on Lu Qing's face: "Back then, I felt that a man should do good deeds, accumulate virtue by doing good deeds, accumulate virtue by doing good deeds, be chivalrous and righteous, and his reputation will last forever."

"So, from now on you will just eat and wait for death, eat and wait for death, and become a sinner for the ages?"

Are you educated?

Zhu Tuo smiled and slapped Lu Qing on the shoulder, "You and I have different ideas!"

"Oh?" Chen Xiaobei smiled faintly.

"How many people can a little warrior save? To protect the country, govern the world, maintain the prosperity of one country, so that the elderly and children can be taken care of, and live well. To protect the people of a country by oneself, even if it means death, Let others shout for their heroes under their own tombstones. This is how a man should behave!" "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

The next day, Zhu Tuo wanted to drive, but the guard who was driving stopped him and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are the king of Lingnan, how can you be allowed to drive? You can get in a car and I will drive for you. .”

"That's nonsense. I'm either riding a horse or sitting in a carriage. I'm so suffocated. Hand over the whip and I'll catch you!"

"This... king can drive? There won't be any accidents."

"Why can't I? The day I was on my way, you weren't born yet!"

"Your Majesty, you are only seventeen?"

Lu Qing was speechless when he saw Zhu Tuo and the guards arguing fiercely. It seemed that the heroes and heroes last night were all pretending.

Zhu Tuo grabbed the driver's seat, flicked his whip, and drove the carriage.

"Your Majesty, go and grab the rope on the right. Go and grab it, Your Majesty!" The guard looked panicked and walked side by side with Zhu Tuo, watching the carriage speed away from the tree.

"Stop making noise and disturbing my driving!"

Coming out of Lingnan, this road seems a bit remote and getting narrower.

And now it is winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the howling cold wind is blowing against our faces, like sharp daggers.

The carriage was passing through the official road, and when he saw the people on both sides working hard, Zhu Tuo shook his head: "These people are really miserable. They have to work in the fields in the middle of winter."

"Well, plant crops in winter so that next year's crops will be better."

Zhu Tuo nodded, and said earnestly: "After entering Beijing, we must act in a low-key manner, cause less trouble, less trouble, less trouble, less offending people, and when the emperor makes an order, we will return to Lingnan immediately, understand? "

Lu Qing looked at Zhu Tuo suspiciously and said, "Your Majesty, are you the one who likes to make trouble?"

"Nonsense, I have never resisted, and I have never resisted, but you dare to slander me like this."

In late autumn, people work in the fields.

At the same time, a group of people came over, led by a young man in gorgeous clothes. He stood in the farmland and shouted to the farmers: "Every piece of land in the Zhao family is worth two hundred coins, and you, from today on , he is the farmer of our Zhao family, do you understand?"

These farmers were in ragged clothes and bowed their heads, not daring to get angry.

"Go and get some money."

A servant came out, took out a basket of copper plates, and said to the farmers: "Come out here and get some silver."

Not a single farmer came forward.

A farmer gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Sir, this is what our ancestors did. Can you not do it?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not for sale?" It is already your blessing that the Zhao family can give you this piece of land. If you refuse, I guarantee that it will never be planted again. "

"But, two hundred coins is not much. Our land is good. Last year, someone gave me three taels as a gift, but they refused to sell it."

"Are you still not satisfied?" "How dare you, a bunch of fools, refuse to see my Zhao family in this land of Jingzhou? They are looking for death!"

"Master, this land cannot be taken away. This is what our family needs to eat!"

"A bunch of low-class people deserve to starve to death!" "Catch that unruly man and give him a good beating."

"Yes!" Several vicious servants pushed him to the ground and pressed his head to the ground.

The young man in fine clothes wielded a leather whip and whipped him hard.

In just a moment, the old man's clothes were torn to pieces, dripping with blood, and he wailed in panic.
