Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 434 Zhu Ping returns and is held accountable

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to tell everyone about Lin Che and Bei Yuan's blackmail strategy.

Suddenly, an official in green robes stood up and took the order: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the grassland as an envoy to negotiate with him about the purchase of horses."

These words attracted everyone's attention, all wanting to see what kind of fool he was, who would take the initiative to take on such a mission, which would have a high risk of losing his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very curious about this person. After looking at him carefully for a few times, he remembered that this person's name was Gu Shi.

Apart from Prince Zhu Biao, who acted with him last time, he was the first person to buy shares in Baisha Sugar Factory.

And he also got rid of one hundred thousand taels of silver at a time.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a kind smile and said: "Gu Aiqing, since you are so loyal to state affairs, I cannot treat loyal ministers lightly."

"From now on, you will be the prince washing horses. If you can complete the matter of buying horses, I will give you a generous reward."

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's reward for Gu Shi, many Qingpao officials looked at this man with envy and jealousy.

Without doing anything, he was promoted from the sixth-rank household official, Wailang, to the fifth-rank prince, Xima.

You know, if we follow the normal process, it will take three to five years for an ordinary official to advance to the next level. Moreover, even if Gu Shi was promoted to an official position in vain, he still went to the East Palace from Hubu Road.

It means that not only did he win His Majesty's favor, he also became Prince Zhu Biao, an old minister of the future emperor.

However, the green-robed officials were envious.

But no one dared to stand up and compete with Gu Shi for this task.

After all, running to Beiyuan to buy war horses without a large army following behind is almost like courting death.

But Gu Shi, who was looked at with pity, seemed not to have thought of the danger.

He also knelt down to thank Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Many green-robed officials couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they heard Gu Shi's words.

I just feel that this person doesn’t know the heights of the world.

Being killed on the grassland is a trivial matter. If he takes refuge in Beiyuan in order to survive, then his nine tribes will be in misery.

Today's morning session ended in this weird atmosphere.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed with Gu Shi and explained to him in detail the strategic blackmail strategy proposed by Lin Che.

It also directly stated that if Bei Yuan wanted to be disadvantageous to him.

Focus on ensuring your own safety and give up the task of buying a horse if necessary.

Gu Shi was first shocked by Lin Che's plan and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Later, he was moved by Zhu Yuanzhang's open-mindedness.

He made a solemn oath not to answer God if he couldn't buy a war horse.

Gu Shi was so confident that he took a few servants and embarked on a journey to Mobei.

Not long after Gu Shi left the imperial city, Zhu Xi, who had just returned from the coast, came to the imperial study.

Zhu Ping walked into the imperial study in a dusty state, fully thinking that he would be praised by his father for his great achievements in subduing the people.

However, he thought wrong. The moment he entered the study, he was dumbfounded.

I saw the murderous old father sitting behind the document, the eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao, stood aside with a frown on his face, and even my mother, who had always been gentle, looked unhappy at the moment.

Suddenly I felt like something was wrong!

what's the situation? I didn't do anything. Apart from subduing the Dan people under the orders of my father, I could have killed the Nanyang County magistrate myself, which caused my father's displeasure. However, my mother, who never interfered in government affairs, was not happy anyway. It shouldn’t be!

Looking at the postures of the three people, they look like they are interrogating prisoners?

I killed a Nanyang County magistrate and reported it to my father. Why was there such a big battle?

Gudong.

Zhu Xi swallowed hard, and his expression immediately stopped on his fourth brother Zhu Di who was standing next to him, trying to understand the situation so that he could prepare in advance. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di was holding his belt with one hand and staring at him angrily, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Suddenly, Zhu Di's iconic loud voice rang out: "Kneel down, you traitor!"

Zhu Xi: "???"

Hear this.

Zhu Xi's face turned red, his neck was thick, and he felt bad all over. His eyes when looking at Zhu Di were full of confusion.

We followed our father's orders to conquer the Dan people. When did we become traitors?

Who is the traitor? What about me? Did you take the wrong medicine today?

However, before he could get angry, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded first from behind the document, neither happy nor angry but extremely cold: "Second brother."

"Can't you hear what the fourth child said?"

"Do you want me to repeat it to you again?"

Zhu Ping turned around suddenly when he heard the sound, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

After being stunned for a while, I saw him taking a step forward and coming to the desk. He was completely unsteady now.

It doesn't matter if you say you're not good at work, but if you say you're a traitor, that's not a joke! What's going on!

"Father, I don't have one! What does this...this...what does this mean? I don't understand!"

Zhu Fang himself was impatient, and he couldn't hold back his loud voice at this moment. He came to his old father and shouted loudly, changing from his usual low eyebrows.

See this.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed inconspicuously, and he quickly made a clear judgment in his heart. The second child dared to shout with him, making it clear that he had no knowledge of the matter.

After all, there is no better son than a father.

What are these naughty children like? Does the father even know what they are like?

Zhu Di took three steps at a time to catch up, kicked Zhu Ping's calf from behind, held down the opponent's shoulder with one hand, and subdued him to the ground.

"You are presumptuous and dare to quibble. Second brother, how can you get rid of such a thing?"

Zhu Xi's face twitched when he heard this, and his steel teeth were almost broken. If he couldn't break away from Zhu Di's strange strength, he would probably have to fight with him on the spot.

Can you please have some brains? What have I done? Why not just go to the coast? Are we going to become traitors? !

Don't say these misleading words, okay?

The two brothers were in a stalemate, neither of them giving in, but due to the majesty of their parents, they did not dare to curse in full.

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, as if he had the world under his control.

Instead of saying anything to stop him, he looked at his two unfulfilled sons with great interest.

After a while, I didn't see anything strange at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang just waved his hand lightly, indicating to Zhu Di that he could stop his hand. The latter understood this and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhu Di just let go a second ago, and Zhu Ping exploded a second later.

There was no time to straighten the wrinkled clothes, and there was no need to say any unnecessary nonsense. The casserole-sized fist was swung directly at the opponent.

Although he is not the eldest son, he is still an older brother. However, he is disgusted by a stinky younger brother. If this bad breath does not come out, he will wake up even in his dreams.

"enough."

The prince Zhu Biao, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward to block the fourth brother. Zhu Ping's fist was immediately suspended in mid-air, and he did not dare to move forward any further.

"How long do you want to continue making trouble?"

"Have you ever taken your father and mother into consideration?"
