King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 36: Your Highness, what are sweet potatoes?

When Zhu Biao heard this, there was a hint of astonishment on his gentle face.

"Why did my father say that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"Don't you think what Tan'er did was too deliberate? Everything you think he did wrong is exactly what he did right!
  Alas. Tan'er is such a good boy!
  No one understands him better than me! "

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "My son is stupid, please show me, Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Prince, Tan'er was in Yanzhou to eliminate disasters, investigate Japanese pirates, make a surprise attack on Rizhao, and even borrow troops from the Andong Guard to wipe out the Japanese pirates' lair!

This series of actions was extremely decisive and fierce!

Not to mention you, even we admire Tan'er!
  But on the other hand, look at the things he did!

It is clear that Yanzhou can achieve political integrity and people-friendly people, but it offends the prefect Lu Xiong so much!

Obviously I can enjoy the reputation of a wise king in Rizhao County, and even become the first wise king in my Ming Dynasty!

But he turned around and said that he was greedy for money, and he also offended the local officials and the people!

And Yang Chang, the commander of Anton Guard!
  That's a third-grade commander. This time, Tan'er has made such a great contribution. If he just gives Yang Chang a little credit, it will be enough for him to be promoted to a second-grade commander, or even Minister of the Ministry of War, right?

Tan'er doesn't!
  I won’t give it at all, and I insist on offending this Yang Chang!
  Prince, why do you think a person who is so shrewd in his work can be so confused in his life?

He made such great achievements, yet he offended almost everyone!

Tell me, what is he trying to do? "

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the tenth brother is committing suicide?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

There was a hint of emotion and bitterness on his face.

A sad look suddenly appeared on Zhu Biao's face.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening! My tenth brother is overthinking! Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled helplessly.

"Tan'er is young, but has the air of an ancient minister!
  We still pay less attention to him in Yingtian Mansion!
  You're right!
  When we look at Tan'er, she is desecrating herself!
  Since ancient times, self-defilement has been the way for extremely smart people to survive!
  Tan'er doesn't want to cause trouble for you and us."

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his eyes as he spoke.

"This kid, in order to save the 20,000 people in Rizhao County from danger, did not hesitate to violate the court's laws and raid the Japanese pirates' lair, and even brought shame to our royal family!

But he doesn't want this credit! I offended one person after another and lowered my prestige abruptly.
  well! He just wants to keep a low profile and doesn’t want to draw attention to himself.”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but be moved when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

"Father! Although the imperial court has more control over the vassal king, it is unlikely that the tenth brother will be so wise to protect himself. Alas! This tenth brother! Why is it like this! Are you afraid of the jealousy of my elder brother?"

To be able to say these words, Zhu Biao spoke with all his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly.

For the first time, Lao Zhu felt guilty for his son.

Just now, I actually had the idea of ​​using Tan'er's head to appease the public's anger!
  This is simply unreasonable!
  Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "To Tan'er, we have to think about how to reward him! We must reward him well! We have to let Tan'er know that the Ming Dynasty does not treat its heroes badly! We will not treat our own children badly!"

Yanzhou.

Prince Lu's Mansion.

Guo Yingzheng, Marquis of Wuding, stood in the courtyard with King Zhu Tan of Lu, Princess Tang of Lu, Shi Yinshao, the left chief of the palace, and other people from the palace of Lu.

A few days ago, Guo Ying was ordered to inspect the construction of the city wall in Yongping Mansion. After completing the work, he hurried back.

Guo Ying is just 50 years old this year, tall and muscular.

At this time, he was wearing an exquisite Ming Dynasty military attaché uniform.

He has a resolute face and sharp eyes. Although there are traces of time on his face, he does not look old at all. Zhu Tan also has great respect for Guo Ying.

After all, Guo Ying is his biological uncle.

He was also the first to follow Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in his founding achievements.

Speaking of which, my uncle Guo Ying was responsible for supervising the construction of Prince Lu's Mansion where I lived.

Guo Ying also followed Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

When he has nothing to do on weekdays, he stays in Yanzhou to assist Zhu Tan.

The relationship between the two is an absolute close one.

After Guo Ying came back, he was filled with horror when he learned that his nephew was first poisoned and fell into a coma, and then led his troops to defeat the Japanese pirates.

How come this kid is acting like a ghost every day?

You are stupid, you are also wise!

At this time, Zhu Tan was working with his uncle Dese to reap the rewards of annihilating the Japanese pirates this time!
  Zhu Tan showed off to Guo Ying with a smile: "Uncle! This time, the gold and silver seized by my troops, plus various treasures, are worth tens of millions of taels of silver!"

Guo Ying said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, I have heard it thirty-two times since I came back. I know."

"Then please say King Lu is wise!"

Guo Ying's face darkened and she stopped answering.

I am cautious and serious by nature, and my sister Guo Ningfei is also a strict person in running the family. Why doesn't Tan'er follow the Guo family at all?
  So frivolous!

Zhu Tan acted so meanly to prevent Guo Ying from being suspicious.

After all, he is his uncle, so he can tell at a glance if there is anything unusual about his nephew!

He had done such a good job in Rizhao County, and his temperament changed drastically, and he punished those urban foxes and rats.

If he stops being extravagant and nonsensical, maybe Guo Ying will become suspicious!

Guo Ying coughed slightly and said: "Your Highness, is it time for you to write a report to the court? You have made such a great contribution, you can't remain silent! Besides, you still violated the court regulations by sending troops this time."

Zhu Tan looked at Shi Yinshao, the left chief of the palace next to him, and said, "Did you hear that? You haven't written a report to the court yet?"

Yin Shao laughed dryly, and immediately took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: "Your Highness, I have already written it! Your Highness, please read it!"

Zhu Tan took the memorial and read it.

He frowned slightly and said: "Overall, it's smelly and long, and you even flattered my father. What's so 'holy virtue is clear' and 'it's thanks to my emperor'? The Japanese pirates were obviously sent by my king to fight them! You keep praising me." Father, what are you doing!"

Guo Ying, Yin Shao:
  Yin Shao didn't dare to speak.

Guo Ying coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness! This is to show your obedience as a son, so don't worry about it anymore!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "I know! I was just talking casually!"

talking.

Zhu Tan continued to look at the memorial.

A bold idea suddenly came to my mind.

Anyway, it has become recognized by everyone that he acted absurdly.

So this memorial is no exception, right?
  Zhu Tan suddenly got angry at Yin Shao and said: "Yin Shao! You fool! How could I use you to be the chief historian of the palace? What kind of memorial did you write? It's full of loopholes!
  This king is so angry! If you can't do it, don't do it! Tomorrow the king will expel you from the palace, so go home and sell sweet potatoes! "

When Yin Shao heard this, he was stunned!
  Master, what mistake did I make again!
  After all, I am also a well-educated person, and was born in the second rank of Jinshi!
  How could such a simple memorial be so full of loopholes?

Aren't you deliberately looking for trouble?
  However, Yin Shao thought for a long time and did not dare to refute Zhu Tan.

He has seen this man's temper several times.
  Yin Shao, who was extremely aggrieved, cried sadly and said in a dull voice: "Your Highness, what are sweet potatoes? I have never sold them before."
