Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 166 Zhu Di: Damn, can I be bullied by you in my dream?
  Zhu Di stared blankly at his good brother Zhu Biao. His eyes lost focus for a long time, and then regained focus after a long while.

His first reaction was not to take Zhu Biao's hand, nor to hug his elder brother and cry bitterly, but to turn his head and start picking at his throat.

"Hey——"

After vomiting for a long time, including the overnight meal, Zhu Di fell to the ground with a thud and shouted feebly: "Come here! The pig food is poisonous!"

Zhu Biao stood there for a long time not knowing what to say.

He originally thought that Zhu Di would burst into tears, and no matter what happened, he would have to hold himself and talk about the feelings of missing him for so many years - what was the result? Why do you open your mouth and vomit without saying anything?

"Fourth!"

A majestic voice sounded, and Zhu Di looked along the sound, and happened to meet his father's long face.

The majesty that Lao Zhu had accumulated in his heart for many years suddenly burst out. He subconsciously stood up, but felt something was wrong.

You said that if dad came alone, it also means that dad may have faked his death; but now that eldest brother and dad come together, isn't this obviously a dream?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was no longer so afraid.

"What are you still doing?"

Before Lao Zhu could say his next words, "I haven't seen your mother soon," he saw Zhu Di suddenly knocking off his hair crown.

"Fuck, can I still be bullied by you in my dream?"

As soon as this thought arose, he met Lao Zhu's deep eyes.

"Fourth, don't you recognize us?"

Zhu Di fell to his knees on the ground without saying a word.

The support only lasted for a moment before he could no longer support himself.

The floor of the pig pen was a bit hard, and it did hurt to kneel down. Zhu Di felt that this was real, this was not a dream, and he couldn't help but look up at his father in shock.

"Dad...are you alive?"

"Fart! Are you just expecting us to die?" Lao Zhu went up and was about to challenge him to a size two, but when he saw Zhu Laosi's embarrassed appearance, his heart softened.

Zhu Di originally thought that he could not spare these two slaps, but he did not expect that his father did not slap him.

"Get up, it's a joke here." Lao Zhu said to Zhu Di with a groan.

As a strict father, and this was an era of strict social class in ancient times, it was better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect a father to admit his son's mistakes. Lao Zhu has always been a patriarchal person. It is not easy for him to soften his attitude towards sons other than Zhu Biao.

"Hey, if dad gives me face, I will definitely keep it." Zhu Di stood up as soon as he brushed the ground.

It didn't matter what he was doing at this stop, he just happened to see his wife comforting her.

"mother?!"

If only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao came, he might not think what he would think. But when my mother came, all the grievances came flooding back.

"Di'er..." Queen Ma looked at her unkempt and embarrassed son and couldn't help but feel sad.

In her eyes, Zhu Di has always been the high-spirited and thin black boy. He thinks about Mobei every day and never seems to be troubled. But now Zhu Di has endured the humiliation and pretended to be crazy in order to survive, even hiding in the pigsty and hanging out with the pigs.

She immediately stepped forward, but unexpectedly Zhu Di took two steps back.

"Mom, don't come over here. I'm too dirty..."

He was telling the truth. When he got up early in the morning, he ran around in the vegetable market and rolled around in the pig pen. Even when Lao Zhu was begging for food, he had never been so dirty.

"Silly boy..." Queen Ma stepped forward, reached out and carefully picked off the vegetable leaves still hanging on Zhu Di's head, "You are the flesh that fell from my mother's body, how could my mother dislike you?"

"Mother... mother!" Zhu Di couldn't help feeling aggrieved. He hugged Queen Ma and cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry..." Empress Ma patted Zhu Di's back gently and comforted: "Don't cry anymore, mother is back, go home with mother..."

"Yeah!" Zhu Di nodded heavily.

……

Yan Wangfu.

Zhu Di carefully washed his body several times from the inside out, and even drank a lot of water with a floral scent. He drank it and induced vomiting, trying to get rid of the smell in his body.

Personally, he actually didn't care much, but he was afraid of making his mother sick.

Should I say it or not, I feel a bit regretful now. I would have known better not to go to the pig pen...

At that time, I was a little bit high-spirited, and I was somewhat involved in the drama.

Thinking about it, I was a little speechless. Dad, mother, brother, you three should come earlier. Do you have to wait until I finish eating that mouthful of pig food?
  Lao Zhu and others were sitting in the main hall waiting for Zhu Di, but they did not expect that two evil guests came to the door first.

It's Zhang Bing and Xie Gui.

"I heard that His Highness King Yan is crazy?"

Zhang Bing started shouting as soon as he entered the door, and his attitude was not so respectful.

"Who said it wasn't? Why did a good living person suddenly go crazy?" Xie Gui also echoed loudly. The two followed Zhang Yu into the main hall, and when they raised their heads, they met Zhu Yuanzhang's cold eyes.

"Grandfather...grandfather?" Zhang Bing's legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Xie Gui's reaction was not slow, and he knelt on the ground immediately after Zhang Bing, trembling and not daring to speak.

There is no need to say more about a person's name, the shadow of a tree, and who Zhu Yuanzhang is. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as someone is an official, no matter whose child cries, as long as someone says, "Your Majesty is here," the child will immediately calm down without opening his mouth.

Besides, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui had not been together with Zhu Yuanzhang for more than a year and a half. Zhang Bing was an official appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xie Gui was a veteran who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the war when he was the commander-in-chief of the Red Turban Army. One of them is an old man who has been with Lao Zhu for at least thirty years.

This is why they recognized Zhu Yuanzhang as Taizu at a glance and not as someone pretending to be Zhu Di. After all, some people can imitate the face, but the temperament, the eyes, and the overwhelming evil spirit cannot be reproduced no matter how much they act.

"What's going on?" Lao Zhu looked at the two people kneeling on the ground playfully, "What you mean is that you want to confirm whether King Yan is crazy or not?"

The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to answer at all.

"We heard that you two were sent by that bitch Zhu Yunwen to monitor our son?"

There is no emotion or anger in Lao Zhu's voice, but everyone who knows him knows that if Lao Zhu is furious and easy to talk to, then no matter how bad it is, he will be dead; the current demeanor of smiling but not smiling is the most terrifying thing of. The two of them couldn't help but start to worry about their nine clans...

"Replying to Grand Ancestor, I...I just followed His Majesty's orders..." Zhang Bing was still defending.

"Well, it's Zhu Yunwen again." Lao Zhu smiled nonchalantly, "In less than a year, King Zhou, King Min, King Qi, and King Dai were deposed one after another. King Xiang was directly forced to death by him. It seems that we are pregnant. What a great grandson.”

Xie Guifu reached his heart and immediately said: "Taizu, I know that you are here to bring order to the chaos. As long as you say a word, I will immediately obey your orders and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Lao Zhu did not speak, but looked over the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze. Feeling Lao Zhu's gaze, the two of them were on pins and needles, as if Lao Zhu had stabbed themselves with something.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them in silence.

Zhang Bing and Xie Gui didn't dare to take a breath while fighting, for fear of angering the murderous great ancestor.

Just when the two of them were about to suffocate, Lao Zhu finally said: "Let me give you two a chance."

"Your Majesty Taizu! Please give the order!" The two abandoned Zhu Yunwen without hesitation.

Bah, who are you, Zhu Yunwen? If we hadn't been loyal to our great ancestor, would we have allowed you to do whatever you wanted?
  "We have made it clear in our ancestral precepts that if there is a treacherous minister in the dynasty, the vassal king can raise troops to investigate and deal with the trouble." Zhu Yuanzhang gave a sly smile: "Tell us, who is the treacherous minister in this dynasty? "

"Huang Zicheng! Qi Tai!" the two said without hesitation: "The two of them have repeatedly instigated Your Majesty in the court, saying that the vassal king has become a powerful force that cannot be lost..."

"Can the tail be too big to fall off?" Lao Zhu said expressionlessly: "If it is true that the tail is too big to fall off, why are the five kings so helpless? If it is true that the tail is too big to fall off, how can our fourth child be forced by you to pretend to be crazy?"

"Are Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng the fools, or is Zhu Yunwen the fool? If the tail is too big, all the vassal kings in the world would have gathered to respond when the king of Zhou was killed!"

"Grandpa Taizu is right! Grandpa Taizu is right!" The two men immediately agreed.

"In our opinion, the biggest villain in this dynasty is Zhu Yunzhen!" Lao Zhu cursed fiercely.

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of rolling thunder sounded outside.

Zhang Bing and Xie Gui couldn't help but be shocked. The great ancestor was really powerful, and his anger actually caused the celestial phenomena to change...

Thinking of this, the loyalty on their faces almost turned into Chinese characters.

Of course they didn't know that this was a stunt added by Li Qing, but even if they knew it was a stunt, they didn't dare to have any small thoughts in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But they didn't dare to agree. It was enough for Lao Zhu to say this. What status did they have to evaluate the emperor?

"Go, go back and lead your troops, and kill those who refuse to obey on the spot," Lao Zhu said to them both: "This is the last chance we give you."

The two immediately knelt down to thank God, and then respectfully left.

On the way, Xie Gui suddenly asked: "Commander Zhang, are we really going to rebel with King Yan?"

As he said this, his hand had quietly touched the handle of the knife.

As long as Zhang Bing had the slightest hesitation, he would chop off his head without hesitation and go back to claim credit with Lao Zhu.

However, he didn't expect Zhang Bing's knife to be faster, and he smashed it down on his face.

Zhu Gui, who had been paying attention to Zhang Bing's movements for a long time, immediately raised his knife and stopped his slashing movement. Fortunately, Zhang Bing is a scholar and does not have that much strength, otherwise Xie Gui might have left the explanation here.

"Damn it! Zhang Bing! What do you mean?" Xie Gui shouted back.

"What do you mean? How dare you contradict Taizu's holy edict!" Zhang Bing cursed.

"Bah! I just want to test you and see if you are loyal to Grandfather Taizu! I, my friend, put down your sword quickly!" Xie Gui said immediately.

"Really?" Zhang Bing asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true!" Xie Gui nodded without hesitation, "What the fuck, you still don't understand me after so many years?"

Zhang Bing put away the knife and sighed: "Come on, I want to go together..."

"Of course we must be loyal to Your Majesty, but you can also see that although it is right to cut off the vassal vassal, Your Majesty acted too hastily. He is no longer cutting off the vassal vassal, but killing the vassal..." Zhang Bing sighed: "Now that Taizu The emperor has brought order out of chaos, so those of us who serve as ministers must naturally be loyal to Emperor Taizu."

Not to mention how the two calculated their plans, but within the palace, after seeing the two leaving, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and asked: "Brother Zhu, aren't you afraid that they will betray you after they leave?"

"Rebel?" Lao Zhu grinded his teeth and sucked blood and smiled: "Zhang Bing is the right minister of the Ministry of Industry who I personally promoted. Xie Gui has been with us since we were working in the Red Turban Army. Do you think the two of them can be more loyal to Zhu Yunwen?" , or are you loyal to us?"

"No wonder, ox, brother Zhu, ox." Li Shimin imitated Li Qing's example and raised two thumbs up on the left and right sides.

Zhu Di, who finally finished washing, also walked out of the inner hall and first greeted Lao Zhu.

"Dad!" Zhu Di didn't say anything, just three bangs.

"Mom!" Three more rings.

He turned to Zhu Biao again and kowtowed twice in a particularly sincere manner.

"Big brother!"

"Silly boy, you knock your head off again." Empress Ma couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

But Zhu Di was really happy from the bottom of his heart. He gritted his teeth and smiled and said to Queen Ma: "It's okay, mother, I feel relieved to see you... Who are these two?"

"This one, you have to call this uncle." Zhu Yuanzhang introduced to Zhu Di: "This younger one is our immortal master of the Ming Dynasty and is also our sworn brother. It is thanks to your uncle that we can come here. Fu. We are all family members, you can just call me uncle."

"uncle!"

Zhu Di, a kid who was careful and sincere, was about to smash his head down, so Li Qing quickly helped him up.

"Okay, my family still has to deal with these nonsense."

"This is Emperor Taizongwen of the Tang Dynasty, the one you have liked since childhood." Lao Zhu introduced Li Shimin to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately bowed his head.

"Just call me Uncle Li. Now he is also our sworn brother." Lao Zhu said with a groan.

Zhu Di scratched his head and said: "Dad, you are Taizu. Logically speaking, you should be of the same generation as Tang Gaozu..."

This means that he wants to be brothers with Lao Li.

Lao Zhu's face darkened, and he slapped him.

"Why, you still want to discuss friendship with our peers?"

Zhu Di shrank his neck, how dare he refute his father's words.

Looking at his son who was almost as old as himself, Lao Zhu sighed.

"It's been hard on you these days."

As soon as these words were said, Zhu Di's sadness was immediately aroused.

Zhu Di knelt on the ground and lamented: "Father, this boy Zhu Yunwen, he is not cutting off the vassal, he is forcing his uncles to die!"

"It would be fine if they were demoted to common people and exiled like Lao Wu and others. What a good boy Xiao Twelve was! He forced him to jump on his horse and jump into the fire. He forced my brother to death, and he also If you want to give him such an evil posthumous title, Dad, I don’t accept it!”
