Chapter 1494: Fighting the Fire with Salary

On the way back, Zhu Yuanzhang kept a gloomy face, and everyone around him was silent, obviously not in a good mood.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hesitated for a while and then said: "My lord, Dian Wei was probably just testing. Even if Ba Wangqi doesn't put down his weapons, he certainly won't dare to mess around."

"So? Just continue to carry it to death, and then let the people hidden behind him continue to use dirty tricks to deal with us?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

 Zhu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this. He had always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had not woken up and was not aware of his dangerous situation. But when he heard this, he realized that he was completely wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang has actually always been very sober, but the situation in the Ming court has changed too quickly, making it difficult for him to accept the reality, but it does not mean that he is not aware of the crisis.

"Lord, what do you mean?" Zhu Yunwen asked with some uncertainty.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said coldly: "On the matter of the marriage between Qin and Ming, some people in the court want to force me to express my position, but Bawangqi is my only strength in the Ming court, so they I want to disarm the Overlord Cavalry and force me to take sides on this matter.

 Therefore, even if the Overlord Cavalry does not put down its weapons, the people behind it will still use other methods, and it will be even more difficult to defend against it, so it is better to let the Overlord Cavalry put down its weapons first, so that these people can let down their guard first. "

Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized: "That's it."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder: "You, you are still too young. You must know that nothing can be done by force. Besides, this is Taihang, the temporary capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there are only three thousand Overlord Cavalry here. What does it matter? ?”

 “My lord is far-sighted, but his subordinates are far behind.”

Even though Zhu Yunwen said this, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't realize that the "some people" he mentioned were actually his most trusted Emperor Ming.

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang has thought of this, it is obvious that he must be wavering in his heart. It is just the habitual trust he has maintained for a long time that makes him subconsciously unwilling to doubt Emperor Ming.

“My lord, for the sake of my lord’s safety, I suggest that my lord should return to Xuzhou first.”

Zhu Yunwen suggested tentatively, and the result was not what he expected. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively, without even thinking about it, and said directly: "You can't leave. If I leave now, the marriage between Qin and Ming will be over." It has become a foregone conclusion, and Ming Dynasty will definitely be divided by then."

"But not only the civil and military officials of the court, but also His Majesty have agreed to this matter. My lord, even if you stay, what's the use?"

Hearing what Zhu Yunwen said, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of struggle, but in an instant he said firmly: "I will go to see your majesty right away. I will never believe it is true until I hear it said by your majesty himself."

Zhu Yunwen was immediately anxious when he heard this. If he went to see Emperor Ming at this time, wouldn't he be courting death?

 “Lord, you can’t go…”

Before he finished speaking, a guard came to report: "For your information, my lord, the military advisor has activated secret agents and sent an urgent secret message from 800 miles away."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Bring it up quickly."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took the letter, but his expression suddenly changed after seeing the content in the letter.

Fan Zeng wrote everything he analyzed in a letter, and frankly said that he had cooperated with Qin Hao long before Zhang Jiao's death, so Qin Hao let Zhang Liang and the other four return to the Ming Dynasty, and this time the marriage between Qin and Ming Dynasty was between Zhang Jiao and Qin Hao. The benefits promised to Qin Hao. After reading Fan Zeng's letter, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became enlightened, and many of the puzzles in his heart were solved. After all, besides the late Zhang Jiao, who else could make Emperor Ming commit himself to marry his enemy?

"Master, Master, since you have entrusted your hope to your disciple, why can't you fully trust your disciple and still leave a back-up for Qin Hao?" Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself sadly.

Master Zhang Jiao was the person Zhu Yuanzhang respected the most. He always thought that Zhang Jiao trusted him absolutely, so he entrusted Emperor Ming and Ming Dynasty to him, but this was obviously not the case.

Zhang Jiao also bet on both ends. He chose two successors at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Hao. The competition between the two was also fair.

In the original war in the Central Plains, if Zhu Yuanzhang could defeat the Han Dynasty and keep the Ming Dynasty's power in the Central Plains, the agreement with Qin Hao would naturally be invalidated, and he would be the one to marry and become Emperor Ming. On the contrary, if he failed, Qin Hao would be fulfilled.

 In short, no matter what the process is, the person who wins in the end is Zhang Jiao’s true successor.

Until this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't recognize Zhang Jue's true face. He was really cunning.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang would not hate Zhang Jiao because of this. After all, the old man was planning for Ming Dynasty before his death and got an opportunity for Ming Dynasty. It was only because of his own incompetence that he activated his master's last resort.

Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally unwilling to fulfill Qin Hao and let Qin Hao rule the world, because he has his own ambitions, so even if Zhang Jiao comes back to life and stands in front of him to persuade him, he will never give up his own ambitions and love to fulfill others.

“Master, my disciple will never leave Ming Dynasty to outsiders.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of determination, and he handed the letter to Zhu Yunwen and said: "Immediately let the secret agents go to find out who are the pro-Qin faction in the Ming court. They must find out in the shortest possible time."

"yes."

Although Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, he still nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned directly to the palace. He also knew that going there would definitely lead to a narrow escape from death, but he had a reason to go.

Although Fan Zeng deduced from a small piece of information that the source of the incident was Zhang Jiao, there were still many unsolved mysteries. The biggest question in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was what was the relationship between Emperor Ming and Qin Hao?

Zhang Jue has been dead for many years. Although the situation he set while he was alive had a certain impact on Emperor Ming, in terms of binding force, it would never be so great that he would sacrifice himself. So why was Emperor Ming still willing to follow Zhang Jue's instructions? How about the arrangement?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not know these secrets, so he had to question Emperor Ming himself to find out.

Although entering the palace this time seemed to be very dangerous, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a near miss. After all, if he killed him, the Ming Dynasty would immediately split, and his subordinates would support his son Zhu Di to completely break with the Ming Dynasty and Qin Dynasty. It will only be the Ming army in Jizhou that will be united.

 So, at least until the military power was taken back, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he was still safe.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang took it for granted, but his behavior of putting out the fire with a salary was still very courageous, but in the end he might be caught in the fire before he could save it.
