Chapter 199 Zhu Yuanzhang beat someone
In the side hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting there, holding a shoe sole in his hand like Shang Fang's sword, staring at Zhu Xun.

Zhu Yu stood outside the door, also looking at Zhu Yuanzhang carefully.

In those 12 years of small and transparent life, Zhu Min had never dared to face his father in this life like this.

Therefore, if the two father and son met not in the palace hall, but on the street outside, no one would know each other even if they were opposite each other.

And to Zhu Chu's expectation, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a shoehorned face at all, but a rich and dignified old man.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance has always been full of controversy and mystery.

Because there is an ugly picture circulating on the Internet, which is said to be his true appearance.

However, Zhang Han of the Ming Dynasty recorded in Volume [-] of "Dreams in the Pine Window" that Yu Weinan Sikong entered the Wuying Hall and had to pay homage to the imperial appearance of the second ancestor.Taizu's appearance, with beautiful eyebrows and torch-shaped eyes, a straight nose and long lips, a face like a full moon, and a beard that is no longer than a foot long, is very different from the legends among the people.According to legend, Taizu killed several people during the image, but the last person was spared.It is unknown whether it was passed down by the people or written by a later person.The appearance of Chengzu is similar to that of Taizu, but there are two more strands of beard between his forehead, which are long and hang down to the abdomen.

What they are saying is that the ugly picture is actually spread among the people and has no basis at all.

On the contrary, Wuying Hall enshrines a statue of Zhu Yuanzhang.

What's more, Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's son, and the two have similar looks.

Unless Zhu Di is also a shoehorned face.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty records that Zhu Yuanzhang was "majestic in appearance and blessed with extraordinary bones."The will is clear and unpredictable. '

In fact, Ben Xunsi should also think about it. If Zhu Yuanzhang is really an ugly man with a strange appearance, he will be like Pang Tong of the Three Kingdoms.

Then can Guo Zixing still value him so much?And marry his adopted daughter to him?
Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is not a wise and powerful man, he is not too bad. If placed in modern times, he would probably be an ordinary old man.

Perhaps they are the first batch of entrepreneurs who took advantage of reform and development, started from scratch through their own efforts, and developed step by step?
Zhu Zhen was still thinking about some messy things in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry: "Bastard, are you looking up at the king and trying to assassinate him?"

In fact, the law of "Looking up at the king and intending to assassinate the king and killing the king, behead him immediately" was only started in the Qing Dynasty.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang was holding back his anger and deliberately looking for trouble.

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes, reluctantly lifted up his robe and knelt down, and said: "My son, Zhu Ming, saw my father. I was shocked to see my father's face. I was in a state of trance for a moment." ”

The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched. This bastard thought he was a singer on a flower boat?Or someone's young and careless little girl?Are you still fascinated by my appearance?

"But I have also wondered about one thing before. No wonder I am tall and handsome. It turns out that I followed you." Zhu Zhen was not stupid. He glanced at the shoe sole in Lao Zhu's hand and gave him a small Flattery.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a dumbfounded voice: "Get up, you once fought on the battlefield in Yunnan, and you were not defeated in the south and north. Even Xu Da once praised you as the Ming God of War. Why have you become so glib now?"

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt relieved. In fact, he was really afraid that this brat was a fool, so he came up and showed off his power, just to see how Zhu Chu would react.

It seems that he is still afraid of his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and put the shoe soles on the case aside. He did not use it in a hurry and would talk about it later.

Zhu Ming stood up and walked into the hall. The eunuch behind him closed the door.

Zhu Zhen frowned, since he didn't like the so-called Ming War God's title. After all, Li Jinglong and another bastard had turned this title into a derogatory term.

At the same time, Zhu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang were the only two people left in the palace at this time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What? Now you know you are afraid of us?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and squinted at Zhu Ming: "When I was in Yunnan, I was very arrogant and arrogant. I was so arrogant that I didn't even take the court and us seriously."

Zhu Chu raised his eyebrows, look, Qiu Hou is here to settle accounts.

"I'm not afraid of you," Zhu Zhen said.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Ahem, cough, cough," Zhu Ming coughed slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang relax his brows.

Zhu Xinxin said, isn't it just that you don't use honorifics? Why are you so narrow-minded?But he could only endure it and continued: "After all, no matter what, you are my father, right?"

Zhu Zhen did not travel through the soul, nor did he travel through time, but was reincarnated.

It's just that he was inexplicably reincarnated into the past, which is now the Ming Dynasty, and became Zhu Yuanzhang's eighteenth son.

So no matter what he does, no matter whether he wants to admit it or not, Zhu Yuanzhang is his biological father in this life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally very satisfied with this boy's attitude. When he heard his sigh, he couldn't help but pick up the soles of his shoes again and asked: "What's the matter? Are you wronged by being our son?"

Zhu Ming quickly shook his head and said: "It's just that I have always been full of doubts. Am I your son, or is Hu Yuan your biological son?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang threw the soles out casually.

Zhu Chu turned his head and dodged.

"You still dare to hide?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Chu.

The corner of Zhu Chu's mouth twitched, you hit me and you won't let me hide?What's the point?
Yes, yes, you are the emperor, you are still the father, you have the final say.

Helpless, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to carefully walk over and deliver the shoe soles he had caught outside the palace gate to Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with a smile on his face.

What Ming Dynasty War God, what Yunnan War God, no matter how majestic you are outside, no matter how powerful you are, you are still our son, and you can’t be so majestic in front of us, right?

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Zhu Qi was already reaching the critical point, especially since Zhu Qi had disobeyed the order before and found an excuse not to return to the capital according to the order.

What does he want to do?Are we really going to start a rebellion in Yunnan?
And I heard that Zhu Chu took his time all the way back, as if traveling. He was not in a hurry to get to Yingtian. He also met the girl from the Xu family on the way. The two of them rode on the same horse, and they just sang "The Red Dust is a Companion" .

Are you turning a blind eye to yourself?

Who else has received the imperial edict and not rushed there under the stars and the moon, day and night?
It's a good thing for you, you're still having trouble with that guy Li Jinglong outside the city, right?

Do you really not want to go to Beijing?Do you really not want to see me?

After all, Zhu Yu was accompanied by Jiang Yu and other Jin Yiwei all the way, so he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything about him in the palace.

That's why the young eunuch passed the order, and later he simply asked the Jin Yiwei to carry the person in.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen's appearance, but for some reason, the anger in his heart slowly calmed down.

Like, it looks so much like me when I was young.

Handsome, charming, and suave, he is our son.

"Father?" Zhu Ming found out, why was Lao Zhu in a daze?Are you thinking about what to do with yourself?
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed dryly, pointed at Zhu Chu with the sole of his shoe, and said, "First tell me clearly about Hu Yuan, or we will really beat you."

As soon as Hu Yuan was mentioned, Zhu Min became so angry that he no longer cared about being cautious and said: "You really promised him to abolish the Yongchang Mansion's government system, and why did you let him be the commander? Or even building a golden-toothed guard, or some kind of military-civilian camp?"

"That's called the Golden-Toothed Military and Civilian Command Division," Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen with a black line. Don't you even know the official name of the previous Golden-Toothed Guard?
Zhu Zucai didn't care about these details and said bluntly: "That's why I suspect that Hu Yuan is your biological son."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and raised his fingers at Zhu Chu: "Come on, come on, come and speak in front of us."

Zhu Zheng is no longer the transparent person he was a few years ago, nor is he the time when he timidly and timidly requested to be granted the title of vassal in advance during the King Ceremony, and did not even dare to raise his head to look at his father.

So Zhu Chu waved his hand and said: "We will talk about beating me later. I have a question for you. As a vassal king, except for the guard station of Erchen, I usually have neither the political power to govern the place nor the command. Dispatch the military power of the army. But how can Hu Yuan be a local emperor in Yongchang Mansion, and the military power can be grasped?" "I am confused, who is the king of Yunnan? My elder brother Muying is the privilege given by you, so that's it. It’s just that the Marquis of Xiping in the Ming Dynasty has an official position system.”

"But Hu Yuan's commanding officer is actually a chieftain system, which means that after he has done what his son has done, and his son has done what his grandson has done, there will be endless descendants. You have given Yunnan to him. Right? At least in Yongchang Mansion, he is the earth emperor."

"Look at me again. I am doing something for the country and the people, but you scolded me. I wiped out hundreds of thousands of Sirenfa's army. It can be said that I had a narrow escape from brother Muying. After that, I fought with my sword. Work hard to finalize the stability of Yingjiang in the border area."

"In the end, you scolded me in the imperial edict. Why? Then Hu Yuan relied on your favor in Yongchang Mansion to control hundreds of thousands of people who migrated from the Central Plains, and then squeezed them, and recruited many soldiers and overstaffed them. Ten thousand troops."

"But when the chieftains of Yunnan rebelled wildly, Hu Yuan stood by and turned a blind eye even as the [-]-strong army passed by and attacked Dali. What did he want to do? He wanted to wait until our Ming Dynasty lost control of Yunnan. Can we take control and then take advantage of the opportunity to become the overlord of one party?"

Once Zhu Chu opened his mouth, he couldn't stop.

In fact, he also has the grievances of the boss.

I pacified Yunnan, and also proposed a plan to reform the native land and return it to the local people, completely solving the hidden dangers of the chieftains, which was enough to completely make Yunnan return to its homeland.

And you still scolded me?And for Hu Yuan?
Why?
He was wronged to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhen deeply, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Do you really not know Hu Yuan's true role?"

"Are you holding me back, Brother Muying?" Zhu Ming muttered, but other than that, it had no other meaning.

Before Zhu Chu came to dominate Yunnan, Mu Ying could be said to be the king of Yunnan, the kind who controlled both military and political affairs.

And Mu Ying did manage Yunnan well during those ten years, especially the reclamation of wasteland, which added countless fields to Yunnan and allowed the people to recuperate.

However, Mu Ying's power was too great. It only took ten years for him to accumulate huge reputation in Yunnan.

In fact, after Mu Ying's death, Yunnan began to stir up trouble again, and chieftains from various places started to rebel one after another. This can be seen from Mu Ying's prestige in Yunnan.

If Mu Ying hadn't died of illness suddenly, no chieftain would have dared to cause trouble easily after Sirenfa.

Of course, this also gave Zhu Zhen a chance.

"It seems you are not stupid either," Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ming, and when he mentioned Mu Ying, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Sometimes people are like this. If Mu Ying was still alive, and before Zhu Yun took over Yunnan and aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, then the person Zhu Yuanzhang was most suspicious of Yunnan would probably be his adopted son.

But after Mu Ying's death, Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel sad and lamented again. Moreover, the person he was most suspicious of now became his own son Zhu Zhen, so naturally there was no conflict with Mu Ying.

It doesn't stop him from missing his adopted son.

"Yes, I gave Hu Yuan many privileges, including the fact that he rebuilt the old site of Yongchang to the scale of Yingtian City. I also know about it," Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that he knew what Hu Yuan had done.

It seems that Jin Yiwei has been placed beside Hu Yuan for a long time.

"I'm not saying that what he did was right, but how to deal with him is the power of the court and us. How dare you kill the court officials at will? Or are you a commander of the frontier officials? Your Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes? Do you still have the laws? Do you still have the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone began to become stern.

If it was a meeting between father and son at the beginning, then now it is a dialogue between king and minister.

Even Zhu Zhen couldn't help but feel shocked.

As expected of the Hongwu Emperor, he was not a little old man from the countryside, but the immediate emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

This world was brought down by him single-handedly. He was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, rather than inheriting it from someone else. That is completely different.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry and is still proud of himself. What's more, if anyone else puts pressure on Zhu Zhen at this time, even other vassal kings and even Prince Zhu Biao, I am afraid they will only kneel down, trembling and sweating, right?
But Zhu Min was not afraid at all and said: "So what if I kill him? Let alone Hu Yuan, I will kill Si Renfa. He is also your appointed envoy to the Xuanfu, right? So what should I do?"

"Don't talk about them, I have basically killed all the Yunnan chieftains, one by one, one clan after another, until all the people who dare to disobey my Ming Dynasty are killed, leaving only the common people who are loyal to my Ming Dynasty. The people are enough.”

"Today I am just Hu Yuan. If there are others who dare to hide evil intentions in the future, I will still kill them. So what if they are suspected by you? What I care about is not these, but the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

Will the Ming Dynasty last forever?
This stinky boy, although he was misbehaving in Yunnan, it was not just as simple as transgression, but he did not take transgression seriously at all.

However, when he proposed to reform the native land and return it to local people, he clearly stated the pros and cons, explained clearly the hidden dangers of the chieftain system, and gave good guidelines.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang has his own considerations. He is the emperor, and his will can affect the whole country. His will will affect the whole country. It's not that simple.

Even if it is just for the chieftains to be rehabilitated, you must know that except for Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and other places, there are chieftains everywhere.

Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Lingnan are full of toasts.

Zhu Chu only had Yunnan province in his sights, but Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were on the entire country.

Once the reform of native land return to local rule is implemented, I'm afraid the chieftains in other provinces will also rebel, right?

What's more, the land must be re-measured to change the land and return it to the flow. It is still the 26th year of Hongwu, which means that the Ming Dynasty has been less than 30 years old. The world has just been pacified and the land must be re-measured.

I'm afraid the nobles and common people in the Central Plains won't agree, right?
Therefore, it's not that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the benefits of returning home, but he just couldn't rush for success.

In fact, he really wasn't targeting Zhu Zhen.

"What's more, it was still a war, and I had the responsibility and obligation to put down the rebellion. Isn't this what I should do as the border guarding vassal king? As the saying goes, there are examples of killing first and then reporting later. , so," Zhu Yu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be convinced by him and began to talk.

But he didn't see that Zhu Yuanzhang's face began to turn dark and gloomy.

"Is this your king? You will suffer from your fate, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't listen any longer and stood up.

This bastard is really dishonest. Do you think this is human language?
So Zhu Yuanzhang ran towards Zhu Chu, waved the sole of his shoe and hit Zhu Chu's head.

'Crack' ground.

Zhu Yu seems to have been beaten stupidly. Zhu Yuanzhang is also dozens of years old. How can he be so flexible?

In fact, the main reason is that he doesn't dare to hide. At such an old age, what if he gets to the waist?Whose responsibility is it if it falls?
There is one thing to say, don't look at Zhu Yu who has been mumbling behind his back about when Zhu Yuanzhang will die, but that is waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to die naturally. To put it bluntly, he hopes that he will die early and go to bed.

But if Zhu Ming really kills his father, he doesn't dare to do it, and he won't do it.

So Zhu Ming sighed silently, put his head in his hands and squatted there. Anyway, he was rough and thick-skinned, so he could be beaten as many times as he wanted. At most, it was just shoe soles, or cotton soles, so it wouldn't hurt.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Ming in a funny and angry way: "Put your butt up."

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes and obeyed, lying on the ground, but was caught and beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You still dare to say that the general will not accept your life? How dare you say to kill him first and then report him? I think you have gone against the grain. Why don't you become the emperor?"

"Also, when I listened to your request and asked you to become a vassal, you didn't come to say hello before leaving. Is there anyone like you in the world? Huh?"

"We have even chosen a cook for you, and three hundred palace maids and eunuchs to take care of your daily life. We have also chosen a virtuous and eminent monk to assist you. We even plan to choose a few useful ministers for you, even if they don't have them. With an official position, you can still be considered to have some fame."

"It's good for you. You ran away without saying a word. Before you left, you even lowered your head when you saw us. We are tigers, can we eat you? Why aren't you afraid of us now?"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the angrier he became. He even picked up the shoe sole that he had just thrown out, and while scolding Zhu Yu, he opened his bow from left to right, and the blow was very happy.

Zhu Ming was also a little surprised, because he really didn't know that Lao Zhu didn't favor one and the other. In fact, he had already prepared a complete entourage for himself.

It's just that Zhu Zhen was in a hurry to escape from the palace and Yingtian, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's side. He understood everything, so he didn't go to greet Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was not ambiguous. He directly vented his anger on his young son and dismissed all the entourage prepared for him.

Good guys, you two are truly a father and son.
