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

Chapter 54 Are you begging for mercy? Are you pleading guilty?
  The Guo family is kind to themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang is clear about this.

The four sons of the Guo family all followed him to conquer the world and made great contributions.

Guo Xing and Guo Ying were even named marquises.

Concubine Guo Ning was also a couple in trouble who followed her from humble beginnings to the throne.

His feelings for Zhu Tan are somewhat special.

So Zhu Tan was named King of Lu just two months after he was born.

Many of his brothers were named kings of Sai to guard the frontier.

However, Lao Zhu only sealed Zhu Tan to Yanzhou.

There was no military pressure there, and the land was relatively rich.

More importantly, Yanzhou governs Qufu and is the hometown of Confucius.

The surrounding folk customs are very simple, and peasant uprisings are rare.

This also made King Lu very worry-free.

Especially since there is no outlet to the sea, even the harassment of Japanese pirates is avoided!

This is my partiality towards this son!

Nowadays, Concubine Guo Ning is in charge of the harem, and she loves her house very much, so she arranges this son like this.

Zhu Tan lived up to Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations from childhood to youth.

He is quite famous in Yingtian Mansion, he is extremely intelligent, and he is good at reading poetry and books. Who can read this and not praise him as a handsome young man?
  When he told Tang He that he wanted Zhu Tan to marry his daughter, he made the old man look even happier than when he was granted the title of Duke!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this.

Looking at the red sandalwood in front of me, I couldn't help but feel an unknown fire in my heart!
  How great it was back then!

How great it was back then!

Why are you doing so many ridiculous things now?

Catching a boy to make alchemy is barely enough to lure a snake out of its hole, or it could be said to be an act of self-destruction.

Now what is the point of concealing the seizure and playing tricks on his father, the Emperor?
  The key point is that your arrogance is too obvious?
  What's the point of hiding it after everyone in the world knows about your victory?
  Are you provoking us?

Or does it make you stupid?

I really don’t know what to say!
  The prince came over just now, although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Zhu Biao said to Zhu Tan.

But based on my understanding of the prince, I probably know.

This kind-hearted and good brother reminded Zhu Tan to intercede for Zhu Su!

In this case, the hatred between the two enemies can be alleviated a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan and asked, "Prince Lu? Do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Tan said loudly: "Father! I want to plead with His Highness King Qi!"

Zhu Biao smiled with satisfaction.

That's what the so-called brothers, friends and brothers respect.
  Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "What are you begging for? Zhu Shu treated you like that, and you are still willing to beg for mercy?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "My son is willing! Although the seventh brother killed so many court ministers in the fiefdom and despised the authority of the court.

He was also cruel and easy to kill, which disturbed the people and disgraced the royal family.

The defense of his fiefdom was lax, and if his sons and ministers had not filled the gap, Rizhao County would have been massacred.

Moreover, he falsely accused his ministers and shied away from responsibility.

What's more, when he just entered the city, he ordered someone to stop Erchen's car and insisted on waiting for his people to enter the city before allowing Erchen to enter, bullying him."

When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Tan's words, the smile on his face instantly solidified.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch every time he heard one!
  "But I still feel that he is my good seventh brother. Don't sentence him to Lingchi! At least his body should be preserved!"

Zhu Tan finished speaking slowly.

There was silence in the entire hall.

Even the old eunuch Chen who was not far away showed a look of intolerance.

Zhu Shu lay on the ground, hating Zhu Tan in his heart!

Are you begging me for mercy?

When did my father say that he would punish me?
  Your words will definitely kill me!

Thank you so much!
  Zhu Yuanzhang also opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

This kid.
  This guy is too narrow-minded!
  Just for such a small thing, why are you going to delay your brother?
  No wonder everyone outside calls you ridiculous!
  Now that I'm here, even dogs can't change from eating shit! However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not say anything.

After all, Zhu Shu offended Zhu Tan for real.

Compared with Zhu Su, Zhu Yuanzhang also loved Zhu Tan more.

In addition, Zhu Tan also made great achievements.

Killed more than two thousand Japanese pirates and saved the people of the entire county!

He even held tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands!
  What else could I say about him?

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Tan fiercely and said, "Okay! I hear you begging for mercy!"

Zhu Tan gave a dry laugh and said: "Everything depends on the Holy Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Shu who was lying on the ground and hummed: "Prince Qi! Your brother hates you so much that he wants to kill you! What do you say?"

Zhu Shu's face was filled with difficulty and he said bitterly: "It all depends on my father's fate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Don't you like killing? This place in Shandong is too peaceful! It's not suitable for you! You can move to Kaiping! This year's salary will be halved! Reflect on it! Don't let me down again! Do you understand?"

The words fell.

Zhu Shu fell to his knees.

My whole body was numb!

Where is Kaiping?

At the frontier!
  Affiliated to the Peking Capital Command and Envoy Department!

Even today, it is already in Inner Mongolia.

In other words.

Zhu Yuanzhang moved the vassal territory of King Qi from a prosperous place like Qingzhou, Shandong, to the bitter cold Saibei!

Without the sensual dogs and horses every day, the only thing he can do is fight with the Tatars on the grassland!

King Qi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Such a punishment is not too severe for him.

Basically, it is no different from being sent into exile.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Zhu Shu! We know you are bloodthirsty! You like to fight! This time, I will give you a chance to kill! There are many people in the north for you to kill! Go!"

Zhu Shu lowered his head and said, "My son, thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "Back off! Don't let me down again! In the bitter cold land of Kaiping, I have ordered the palace to prepare warm clothes, and the Ministry of Industry has also prepared armor for you! They will be sent to Zhuzhou later. Go to the royal palace, and when you arrive in Kaiping, you will have a good time doing things and training soldiers, and there will be time for you and me, father and son, to meet each other in the future!"

Zhu Shu had tears in his eyes when he heard this.

He knew what his father meant by these words.

Letting him move to Kaiping was already a decision his father had made long ago, and it was not just because of Zhu Tan's complaint.

After all, the clothes and armor have been prepared long ago.

At the same time, my father also hopes that he will do well.

Zhu Shu kowtowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang three times again.

"Father, please take care of the dragon body, and I would like to thank my father for his grace!"

talking.

Zhu Shu turned around, wiped his eyes, and retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed.

Although I can't treat so many sons equally, I can speak from my heart.

Every one of them hurts!
  Love everyone!
  Now that he was sending King Qi to the frontier fortress, he felt uncomfortable.

Family, country and world
  Ugh!
  Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

Then he looked at Zhu Tan.

Seeing that Zhu Tan was still smiling playfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face: "Zhu Tan! Do you know your guilt?"

Zhu Tan knelt down on the ground and said: "Yes! I know my crime! I should not circumvent the court's laws and severely punish those urban foxes and rats without authorization, so that the people of Yanzhou can have a clear sky!"

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly widened.
  Is this kid really pleading guilty?
