Chapter 196 Lan Yu Makes Trouble at Song Mansion
Lan Yu frowned when he heard this. A lot of things had indeed happened during this period of time. It seemed that it was from this time that His Majesty and the Crown Prince began to often summon the boy from the Song family.

Could it be that the kid from the Song family was the one who instigated all this? Thinking of this, Lan Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Although he was indeed wrong in doing this matter, if he did not teach the person who came up with the plan a lesson, everyone in the world would think that Lan Yu was afraid.

"I can't afford to offend His Majesty, I can't afford to offend His Royal Highness, so how can I afford to offend a little guy like this?"

Thinking of this, he angrily headed towards the mansion where Song Shen was.

At the gate of the Song Mansion, Crown Prince Zhu Biao had just hurried back to the palace when Lan Yu appeared directly at the door of the Song family.

After inquiring, he learned that Crown Prince Zhu Biao had left and returned to the palace, which made him feel relieved.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were here, he really wouldn't dare to make trouble.

Lan Yu was fearless in his life. The only people who could make him afraid were Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, his sister Lan, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao. All the others were trash.

If Crown Prince Zhu Biao was here, he really wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer here, Lan Yu feels that he is doing fine again.

Just kick the door open.

"Get out here, Song boy!"

At this time, the housekeeper on the side ran over hurriedly, and saw Lan Yu kicking the door open, his face looked grim.

"Duke Liang, what do you mean?"

"Why do you have to humiliate my Song family like this? Although my Song family master has passed away, he was still the teacher of the Crown Prince and a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty. How could I allow you to act like this?"

Lan Yu said in a buzzing voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not looking for trouble with that old man Song. I, Lan Yu, know that the dead are the most important. Where is your young master? Where is that kid? Let him come out. I, Lan Yu, will take revenge!"

The housekeeper was extremely confused when he heard this, because his own young master lived a secluded life and rarely went out, and apart from being summoned by the Crown Prince and His Majesty, he did not have much contact with other people. How on earth did he offend such a reckless Duke of Liang?

"Lan Yu, if you have anything to say, come to me. How did my young master offend you? How dare you be so presumptuous? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were here, I would definitely complain to him."

Lan Yu snorted coldly. He only dared to make trouble because he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not here.

Besides, he is the prince's uncle, so the worst that can happen is that he will be scolded.

Anyway, he has made a lot of mistakes, so this one meal won't matter.

"This kid knows exactly what he did. If he has the guts to make things difficult for me in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, then come out and compete with me!"

"Look! I'm going to beat his ass into pieces!"

Song Shen, who was teaching several princes in the study at this time, looked extremely unhappy when he heard this.

Finally, he walked out and said to Lan Yu in front of him.

"The Duke of Liang is really very capable. He has the energy to put it on the battlefield. Why is he making a scene here?"

"Besides, I don't think I've ever met the Duke of Liang, so I haven't done anything to offend you!"

Lan Yu looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but frowned, mainly because the man in front of him was really too young.

Could it be that the little guy in front of him was the one who slandered His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Could he be so capable? Thinking of this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

But he had already come to this place, and many people outside had seen him. If he lost his position in the army, it would be completely over. Thinking of this, he snorted coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense and show me how capable you are. You are definitely worthy of the attention of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I, Lan Yu, am not an unreasonable person. I will stand here. As long as you can knock me down, you will win."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw several people walking out.

Lan Yuke was shocked when he saw these people. Why were they these little guys?

The ones who walked out were Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin, and Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan.

Prince of Jin Zhu Gang stared at Lan Yu in front of him and said.

"Duke Liang, what do you mean by this? You are a military commander, and Mr. Song is a scholar. If we compete with each other in fists and feet, it would be a bit unfair. How about you compete in poetry?"

Prince of Yan Zhu Di said happily on the side.

"Yes, let's compete in poetry and see if you, Duke Liang, can win?"

Lan Yu was extremely embarrassed when he heard this. How could he write poetry? He could not read a single word. It was already a very difficult thing for him to remember all those words, let alone write anything.

However, he was extremely surprised that the three princes were in the same place.

But he still knew etiquette. If he continued to be as arrogant as before, he might really kill the person, and then even His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not be able to save him.

"Your Highness Lan Yu pays respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. I wonder why the three of you are here?"

King Qin Zhu Chong cleared his throat and said.

"Duke Liang, there is no need to do this. We are here to seek advice from Mr. Song on the orders of His Majesty. Of course, the Crown Prince is also here, but he has to go back to the palace for some urgent matters!"

"It probably won't be long before he's back!"

Duke Lan Yu of Liang felt his scalp tingling. Did he stir up a hornet's nest this time? Those damn guys insisted that someone was deliberately making things difficult for him. This was embarrassing.

At this moment, he was looking at the princes in front of him with a smile.

"Well, this is all a misunderstanding. I've heard about this guy's abilities, so I tried it on purpose. I can't really fight him. If it's nothing serious, I'll leave first!"

After saying this, he left as if he was running for his life.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw two people staring at him from behind.

"Where do you want to go?"

When Lan Yu saw these two people, he immediately broke out in a sweat. These were Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao. Who could have thought that the emperor and the crown prince would come to this place.

This is so embarrassing, I was caught red-handed.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is greeted by your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu angrily.

"How come all those books I asked you to read before were read in vain? As a military commander and a Duke of Ming Dynasty, you actually came here to act wildly and bully a young man!"

"Biao'er, have someone send a set of the Four Books and Five Classics to Lan Yu later and have him copy it for me. Don't let him drink until he finishes copying!"

When Lan Yu heard this, he immediately said with a face full of grievance. "Your Majesty, please don't do that. Those words are dizzying to me. Asking me to write so many words is like asking me to die."

"You still won't let me drink. Everyone in Yingtian Prefecture knows that I, Lan Yu, love drinking. How can I eat a meal without drinking?"

"How about you give me a beating, Your Majesty? If that doesn't work, you can even punish me by making me guard the city gate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Why, is it that my words are no longer effective? Tell me, who asked you to come to this place? I don't believe you can think of coming here!"

Han Yu said hurriedly.

"This incident is just a coincidence. I didn't expect it to have such a big impact. I just heard a few people talking about someone slandering Your Majesty and the Crown Prince while drinking. I was so angry that I came here to argue. There is indeed no one instigating me!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at each other, their eyes full of speechlessness.

I really don't know what's wrong with Lan Yu's brain. Is his head full of mush? He doesn't even know that someone is plotting against him.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao cleared his throat and said.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Who did you drink with?"

Lan Yu also felt that something was not right, as if he had really been plotted against, and could only speak weakly.

"That day in Tianfeng Tower, there were some old brothers from Huaixi. They mentioned this matter while drinking..." After Lan Yu explained everything, Crown Prince Zhu Biao said helplessly.

"I will return the Four Books and Five Classics to you later. You are not allowed to ask anyone to help you. I can recognize your broken characters. I will check them one by one later. If there is one missing, you will be punished by me!"

"Okay, you have nothing to do here. Apologize to Mr. Song and leave quickly!"

Lan Yu hurriedly nodded and apologized to Song Shen, then left the place in shame.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. Crown Prince Zhu Biao seemed to be harsh towards Lan Yu, but in fact, he did so just to protect Lan Yu.

"You only know how to protect a reckless man. After so many years, you haven't made any progress. You can't even see through such a simple calculation!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed, and it was precisely because Lan Yu was simple-minded that it was easier to control him if he really replaced him.

I really don’t know how to deal with old foxes like Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of coldness.

"Yongjia Hou Zhu Liangzu, Henan Hou Lu Ju, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, Yan'an Hou Tang Shengzong..."

"Okay, it's really good. Our group of old brothers are now starting to test me!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao sighed.

This group of generals who were good at fighting in the past are now starting to play tricks.

It is true that the prosperity of the Jiangnan region is corrupting people's hearts. It is still like this now. If it continues like this, how many useful people will be available to the next generation of nobles?

At this time Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to look at Song Shen.

"Mr. Song, I heard that the land in Liaodong is very fertile and can grow a lot of food. And on the other side of the East China Sea there are several kinds of food that can produce nearly 10,000 kilograms per mu. Is this true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wanted to care about this matter. Instead, he looked at Song Shen and couldn't wait to tell him the purpose of coming here.

After Crown Prince Zhu Biao returned to the palace, he told Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard the news.

As a farmer, he knows how important land and food are. Although production has been restored over the years, the amount of food is still far from enough.

If it is really as Song Shen said, then it is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be enhanced several times as a result.

The two people were discussing the feasibility of this matter and whether the Ming Dynasty's warships could reach a certain place.

Even when he was considering how to control the Liaodong region, the Jinyiwei commander Mao Xiang came with news that Duke Lan Yu of Liang was making trouble in Song Shen's mansion.

This scene scared the two men. Song Shen was very important to them. If something happened to him, it would be troublesome.

The key point is that Lan Yu is an extremely important general of the Ming Dynasty. No matter which side, nothing can go wrong, so the two of them couldn't wait to come to this place.

Seeing this scene, Song Shen smiled and nodded.

"That is indeed the case, but this is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, please go to the study to discuss this matter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. At this time, he realized that he was a little too anxious. After all, this matter was too big.

At this time he looked at the three princes beside him and said.

"The three of you should follow Mr. Song and learn some skills. If I find out that you three are naughty and mischievous, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this time he looked at Song Shen like a lackey and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Song. I'll leave these kids to you. If they act naughty, you can beat them as hard as you can. Just leave some room for us!"

The three princes curled their lips when they heard this. Is this really his biological child? How could he say such a thing? They were speechless.

When they returned to the study, Song Shen explained the area to him.

This surprised Zhu Yuanzhang extremely.

If that's true, then that place is really nice.

There were only some indigenous tribes that did not cause much harm to them, and that piece of land was indeed huge. If they could occupy that place or relocate some Ming people there, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty would definitely increase a lot.

Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply moved when looking at the map.

It is really unimaginable that the area of ​​the world's oceans is so huge.

"My Ming Dynasty also had a navy before, but there have been no large-scale naval battles since the Battle of Poyang Lake. Now, apart from a small navy near the Qiantang River, there are no other armies. It seems that we need to increase investment in this area!"

At this time Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

"When we were fighting Chen Youliang, his ships were so huge that we paid a huge price to capture them!"

"Fortunately, we finally got the technical drawings. When we make them later, we will definitely be able to reach that area!"

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Shen and said.

"What will the ships look like in the future? Are they as big as the treasure ships of our Ming Dynasty?"
