Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Fang Xiaoru felt a little awkward. Although what the teacher said was realistic, he still couldn't get rid of the suspicion of slipping his beard, and he lacked some literati style.

But the most practical situation is that although His Majesty has some prejudices against him, but now he is with Zhu Tao, the young master, and with just one sentence, he can return to the court, and even be promoted to a noble.

In other words, whoever Zhu Tao likes will be able to rise to the top, but whoever he dislikes will never make it.

Song Lian turned around and left, giving Fang Xiaoru a quiet space to play. Now that the entire Ming Dynasty has gathered enough energy to make Zhu Tao famous, the teacher and the student naturally cannot show weakness.

While Fang Xiaoru was writing straight, he suddenly muttered.

"Teacher's way of doing this is really both reasonable and upright..."

But he knew that his idea was superfluous and more dangerous, so he pinched his thigh and continued to write vigorously.

Almost at the same time, Liu Bowen was also writing this article praising Zhu Tao, while his eldest son Liu Lian was waiting on him.

Liu Lian is the eldest son of Liu Bowen. He has always been indifferent.

His father, Liu Bowen, has always been his role model and benchmark. He never thought that his father would also write such flattering articles.

After struggling for a long time, Liu Lian finally spoke.

"Father has always been indifferent. At that time, His Majesty wanted to make you a Duke, but you voluntarily downgraded and became an earl with an annual salary of only 240 shi. The merits were equal to that of Li Shanchang, but the salary and rewards were more than ten times different. The government and the public were unfair. Why are you not doing it now? Is it possible to write such a eulogizing article to a younger generation just because he is His Majesty's adoptive son?"

After saying this, Liu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that as a son, it would be unfilial to question his father like this, but he had to ask again.

Liu Bowen didn't mind, but smiled lightly.

"Although your majesty is talented and general, but because of his character, he has always been headstrong. He guessed that it is because the prince is kind and modest, and he has a lot of prestige among the ministers, which stabilizes the court."

Liu Lian seemed to understand, but he knew that there would be more explanations, Liu Bowen continued.

"If something happens to the crown prince, Xu Da, Lan Yu and the others are all warriors in battle, while in the outer dynasty, there are King Yan, King Jin and others who hold heavy troops on nine sides, and they are the source of disaster. Your Majesty and the crown prince If you are in power, you can control these dragons and tigers, and if they are gone, these people will really cause chaos in the world, and it will be the common people who will suffer."

In fact, Liu Lian has already understood, but what does this have to do with writing articles praising Zhu Tao.

Therefore, Liu Lian immediately asked a crucial question.

"You mean, if the crown prince walks ahead of His Majesty, His Majesty will kill the heroes, but how can this situation be reversed?"

Liu Bowen smiled lightly and answered him.

"As a father, I have been in contact with Zhu Tao during this period, and I have seen a turning point. Because of the existence of this person, I can make a move in a dead game first, and can make the whole game come to life."

Hearing this, Liu Lian was stupefied. How could his father value a young man who didn't win the championship so much? He asked quickly.

"You mean, this Zhu Tao has a way to solve the current potential crisis? It seems that he is really a master of the outside world."

Liu Bowen shook his head lightly, and said very solemnly.

"He doesn't need to do anything, just sleep at home every day. Even when he is old and disabled, as long as he doesn't die, Daming's sky won't really collapse, and he will continue to prosper more and more."

At this moment Liu Lian was really confused, what was it all about, he asked quickly.

"My son really doesn't understand what's going on, so I ask my father to explain in detail to clear up my son's confusion.

For others, Liu Bowen may not be so frank, but in front of his son, he has no reservations.

"That's because His Majesty knows that as long as Zhu Tao is still there, the world will not be chaotic. The worst scenario is that His Majesty and the prince die one after another, and Zhu Tao can be called the pillar of the sky, supporting the world! The important thing is that Zhu Tao has no interest in becoming emperor, and he will not rebel against future emperors."

Liu Lian was dumbfounded, he couldn't say a word, he didn't expect this young man to be so powerful.

Liu Bowen didn't care about Liu Lian's expression, and continued talking on his own.

"Your Majesty and the crown prince are real dragons, while Zhu Tao is a unicorn full of immortal energy. Even if those civil servants and princes are tigers, they are just ordinary beasts in front of him. !"

"What's more important is that he is still very young and has not reached the championship yet. At least he will have decades to live in the future, and such a long time is enough for him to build Daming into a glorious and prosperous world."

Hearing this, Liu Lian had completely understood his father's original intention, so he also nodded and said.

"If so, it would not be an exaggeration to write praises for Zhu Tao."

Liu Bowen took the conversation and said.

"Not to mention writing praise articles for him, even if it becomes a stepping stone on his road to advancement like Kong Xixue, this old man is willing and honored."

Although Liu Lian was greatly shocked, he already understood that Zhu Tao's status had reached an unimaginable level in his father's mouth.

At this time, Liu Bowen continued to talk to his son with a smile.

"Your Majesty entrusted you to be the fourth rank to build a doctor, but you have the heart to hide from the world, so you resigned from the official position. In fact, you are afraid that our Liu family will repeat the disaster of Hu Weiyong. Now you don't have to worry anymore. With Zhu Tao here, we don't need to worry about it from now on." If you avoid the world and avoid disasters, you can be an official with peace of mind."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bowen patted Liu Lian on the shoulder and walked out with his hands behind his back.

But Liu Lian stood there in a daze, his face full of excitement, but he couldn't say a word.

Maybe I really did what my father said, I don't have to hide from the world anymore, I can shake off my hands and feet and make some achievements in the court.

This is something that I have never wanted to do but dared not do, and now I can do it.

What Liu Lian didn't know was that tonight, the six ministries and nine ministers would stay up all night. They would write what happened today into letters and distribute them to disciples and old friends everywhere.

You must know that these princes and court officials are the most top people in the Ming Dynasty, and their relatives, old friends and disciples are also considered to be famous in the local area.

If these people use their own network to distribute these letters, the superposition of these networks will almost constitute the entire upper echelon of Daming.
