Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 208 Problem?

"Ask me about this?"

Standing beside the old man above the main hall, Zhu Xiongying was full of astonishment.

"Grand grandson!" The old man said again, "Tell me, what are you two bastard uncles doing?"

Hearing the old man's questioning again, Zhu Xiongying suppressed the surprise in his heart and pretended to be nonchalant.

I don't know if the old man asked this question on purpose, or just doing it casually.

But Zhu Xiongying knew that he could not afford to make mistakes.Not to mention the courtiers in the hall, even the two kneeling uncles, if he doesn't answer well, I'm afraid they will feel jealous.

"Old man, you really gave me a problem!"

Zhu Xiongying pondered in his heart, met the old man's eyes, and suddenly found that the old man's eyes were full of smiles.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiongying seemed to understand.

"I'm so confused, I can't see clearly!"

"Without the approval of the old man, whether it is the crown prince Zhu Biao, those noble military officials, the Chang family, or Li Wenzhong, there is no need to stand up and speak for the two feudal lords first!"

"Moreover, almost all the Wuchen sects are opened up for the two vassal kings!"

"Plus the old man's defensive nature, his son, he can beat and scold him, even kill him. But Duan can't allow others to talk about things!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's eyes fell on Li Shanchang, the head of civil servants.

"This old fox hasn't made a name for himself in the court for a long time. It's too late to hide from such things on weekdays, but today."

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying calmed down a lot and spoke slowly.

"Grandfather, how to deal with the two uncles, from my grandson's point of view, it needs to be divided into two parts!" Zhu Xiongying said, "Don't confuse them, they should be generalized!"

"Oh?" The old man smiled, "Go on!"

"The two uncles are the frontier fortress kings of my Ming Dynasty. My grandson has been in the deep palace all these years, and I have heard about the meritorious deeds of the two uncles!"

This is not a lie. The old man's sons may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but the first generation of vassal kings are all extremely brave, and they are unambiguous at all when they mount horses and rule the army.

"The two vassal kings swallow troops every year, either to frighten the barbarians. Or to send troops deep into the barbarian lands to sweep up the tribes. They have made many military exploits." Zhu Xiongying laughed, "Let's not talk about faults, they are meritorious!"

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle, the Prince of the King, is so rare in all dynasties that he dares to risk arrows and is not afraid of danger!"

"It can be seen that they have not forgotten their duty!"

These words caused those noble military officials who founded the country to nod repeatedly in the hall.

In their view, killing a lot of people is not a big deal at all. As for those barbarians, no matter how much they harm them, it is not an exaggeration. A prince who can fight is a good prince.

"Furthermore, my grandson heard that my second uncle and third uncle have suffered no less than five wounds since they became the feudal clan!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "They were in the frontier, and they didn't fall into the face of the emperor, let alone Daming. Now The border is safe and secure, and the Hu people dare not look at the Central Plains, and it is also their credit!"

The old man thought about it, and said coldly, "Hmph, it's not all good, at least I didn't let those tartars get hit under their noses!" Then he paused, "But they violated the law of the country after all. Pass!"

"Grandson understands what it means. After all, the Ming Dynasty had its own national laws and family rules!" Zhu Xiongying continued with a smile, "It's not that grandson can act recklessly just because they have meritorious service. Reduction?"

This is beautiful!

In the hall, Zhu Biao secretly praised in his heart.

With such a narration of merit, the big event will be reduced to a small one, and the mouths of those censors will be blocked.Moreover, King Qin and King Jin have also learned a lesson, and he wants to learn a lot of wisdom in the future.

As he was thinking in his heart, he felt that someone was watching him.

Turning his head slightly, Li Shanchang nodded slowly with a smile on his face.

Thinking about it, Zhu Xiongying's words also attracted the approval of this old minister.

"The stinky boy has a bright mind and accurate eyesight, but he is lazy and lazy by nature!" Zhu Biao cursed in his heart.

~~
On the dragon chair, the old man frowned slightly.

"How to reduce it? Let's talk about your second uncle, a useless thing. Not to mention exterminating a tribe of the eighteen tribes of Xifan, all the women obtained will be taken into the army, and the boys will be castrated!" As he said, the old man became more angry. "The eighteen families of Xifan, the imperial court has been appeasing and coddling them all these years, Huairou didn't have time, but he did this. In the future, who will be grateful to our Daming!"

The biggest fault of King Qin lies in this.As for other large-scale construction projects and the accumulation of money by his subordinates, I am afraid that it will not make the old man so angry.

Xifan, after the fall of Dayuan, has always been indifferent to Daming.His family is brave, and Ming fears that he will be used by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Second Uncle did this wrong, and the method was too harsh!" Zhu Xiongying continued to laugh, "But grandson thinks it's not irreparable, grandson said a joke. This matter, the son's debt is the father's repayment!"

"Shall we pay him?" The old man smiled, "How can I pay him?"

"The eighteen tribes of the Western Fans said that they would submit to Ming Dynasty, but they were temporarily photographed by the military power of Daming, and they did not dare to act rashly. To put it bluntly, if the military might of the Ming Dynasty was invincible, those Fan talents would not regard us as orthodox. Let's harass the border and do looting!"

The old man nodded slightly, and Zhu Xiongying continued, "Grandpa Huang, you have fought all your life. Barbarians are cunning, you know better than your grandson the reason why you are soft and strong, and you are strong and afraid."

"Blindly being soft-hearted, it is impossible to exchange their sincerity, but it will make them feel that Daming is so foolish!"

"Even though Second Uncle was wrong this time, there are also some mistakes. Under the iron fist, the other Westerners have to weigh it up, and we have the weight of the handle!"

"For those sons of them, a combination of kindness and power is the kingly way." Zhu Xiongying said slowly, "Just now when the grandson said that the son owes the father to pay, it is to let the emperor's grandfather make your will!"

"Second Uncle wiped out the family's tribe, causing panic among the family. Grandpa Emperor issued an order to appease him, saying that the tribe that was exterminated provoked Ming Dynasty, and deserved to be attacked by the Celestial Dynasty, and the family was destroyed!"

"But for other people who are interested in Ming Dynasty, the imperial court still allows them to guard the fence. You don't need money and titles, just give them some benefits! Then secretly promise them some benefits, such as border trade, let them go a little bit!"

"In this way, even if they have complaints, they can only do this!"

Hearing this, although the old man snorted, he nodded approvingly in his heart.

"From now on, Second Uncle will no longer have to use knives on those Fan people at will." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "There is no need for real knives, but soft knives greet you every day. Those Fan tribes are not monolithic. Let Da Ming choose the soft persimmons among them and support them behind the scenes." , Their own internal troubles broke out!"

This digression again attracted the attention of the courtiers in the hall.

The generals and ministers are okay, but the civil servants are all moved.

This kind of method used in history books to support one and hit another, and to make friends from a distance and attack with a short distance, doesn't seem like a child can come up with it at his fingertips!
"Stinky boy! Weary!" Zhu Biao scolded again with a smile in his heart.

Beside the dragon chair, Zhu Xiongying continued, "As for Second Uncle's large-scale construction and search for money, the magistrates have found out, what should be refunded, what should be paid is the compensation!" As he spoke, he smiled, "Here, grandson, say something. A digression. The chief secretary over there by the second uncle is also too soft, if it is changed to a strong past, I am afraid that the troubles will not go to this point!"

"Others, such as whipping the cook, etc., these are trivial matters, close the door, and Grandpa Huang will teach you casually!"

The old man listened all the time, and when Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he continued to ask, "What about your third uncle?" As he spoke, his eyes widened, "He actually wants to tear his servants apart!"

"Isn't it cracked?" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "The third uncle has a straight temper. He has been leading the army at the border all these years, and his temper is a little more violent! resentment!"

"From now on, beside the second uncle and the third uncle, you choose a few experienced, stable, and reliable officials who know how to persuade them to follow, and these things will never happen again!"

As he said that, Zhu Xiongying looked at the two vassal kings kneeling in the hall, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you two haven't confessed to Grandpa Huang yet!"
