Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Hearing Li Shanchang read out the awards loudly, and seeing Shi Liemen standing behind Zhu Tao respectfully, Zhu Yuanzhang felt infinitely moved.

Just now Zhu Di and Zhu Yan led a group of officials to ask for Zhu Tao's title, which made him even more gratified. After all, he was born in a farming family, so he cared more about the brotherhood.

Just when he was happy, the prince Zhu Biao who was standing beside him spoke.

"Father, Brother Tao's contribution is far above that of the officials in the pacification of Beiyuan this time. I don't know what reward Father will give him?"

At this time, Zhu Biao's health is getting better day by day, and Zhu Tao has been very close to him from the beginning to the end, so he very much hopes that one day Zhu Tao can become his right-hand man.

So he spared no effort to seek title for Zhu Tao in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Minister of Rites, Huang Guan, has been transferred to Zuodu Censor, and he is out for inspection. The new Minister of Rites, Zhao Qing, frowned, and just about to leave the shift, he fell to his knees, and there was a book to play.

Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had already announced the next decree before he could speak.

"Zhu Tao, the king of Dingyuan County, strategized and used two prongs to finally return the hearts of the emperors and ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. His contribution is higher than that of the generals in the Northern Expedition. We will reward him for his meritorious deeds, and we will specially promote him as the king of Yingtian. There are thousands of households in the city, and the grade treatment is the same as that of the princes."

When this thunder exploded, the first thing that shocked the other princes was the prince.

Some of these people are proficient in medical skills, and some are proficient in military tactics, but their fiefs are either in the bitter and cold frontiers or some remote villages.

No one sealed it in Yingtian, because this sealed country directly threatened the safety of the dynasty.

For the emperor, how could others sleep soundly on the side of the couch, even his own son would not be canonized easily.Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was so generous today that he directly gave Ying Tian to Zhu Tao.

At the feet of the emperor, if it is not a close relative of flesh and blood, then it is a confidant's trouble. This emperor father is really willing to part with it.

Not to mention others, even Zhu Di, who is used to fighting, felt that something was wrong. After all, this matter was not a joke, what if something went wrong.

He was just about to come out and refuse, when suddenly a man stepped out of the class and knelt down desperately.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, risked his life to play. This Zhu Tao is ambitious and has long had the heart of disobedience. Giving him the capital of the capital is tantamount to attracting wolves into the house. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Talking and crying.

When he said this, the princes were taken aback.

It is possible to say that Zhu Tao is envious of being entrusted to an important place in Gyeonggi, but if Zhu Tao has the heart of disobedience, even Zhu Quan, who was the most jealous just now, thinks it is too ridiculous.

At that time, this kid made him a rich country man, but he refused repeatedly and asked him to go to the court to be an official, but he refused one after another. What he likes to do most every day is to lead a group of farmers to cultivate the land, and then to make some inventions.

These miraculous coincidences are unrefined, isn't it nonsense to say that he has any disobedience?

But at this juncture, if he speaks for Zhu Tao, it means that he will win the favor of his father, and maybe one day the throne will be passed on to him.

Didn't Guo Wei pass the throne to his adopted son Chai Rong in the Five Dynasties?Although there are several young sons in his family, none of them are destined for the throne.

This Zhu Tao is the rhythm of Chai Rong, and this must not be allowed to happen!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused by anger, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

You say that Zhu Tao is ambitious, but it would be nice if this kid really had ambitions. Every day I want to make him a high-ranking official, he always pushes back and forth. Even today's King Ying Tian may not be able to accept it.

If all this is ambition, then who in the world is not ambitious?

It's just that the people in the Ministry of Rites watched their boss kneel down, and the left and right servants also knelt down together out of shift, begging Zhu Yuanzhang to take back his order.

Several mourners came again.The people in the Ministry of Rituals are more and more weird than the last, he forced his anger and asked.

"Why is Zhu Tao so ambitious?"

Calmly wiped away tears, Zhao Qing continued.

"Your Majesty once said that the names of the princes and grandchildren of the royal family are all cycled according to the five elements. The prince and other princes are from the generation of wood characters, and the emperor's grandchildren are all from the generation of fire characters, but Zhu Tao's name is water. According to the seniority, it should be the prince and the uncles of the princes, isn’t this a mess? Please His Majesty immediately issue an order to kill this guy who harbors evil intentions!"

Just this one sentence caught Zhu Tao by surprise. He never thought that these guys couldn't find their own mistakes, and instead used their own names to make a fuss.

Once again, everyone was forced to follow the group. Is this a reason?This is purely the type of beating you or killing you only depends on your mood. Anyway, if you want to say that you rebelled, you are rebelling, so there is no need to defend yourself, because it is useless.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Zhao Qing is quite beautiful there anyway.

Although Zhu Tao was indifferent to fame and fortune, he didn't want to die so inexplicably, and he already had an idea when he rolled his eyes.It's just that he wanted to see what Zhu Yuanzhang would do, so he stood there very calmly and did not speak.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he had already greeted this ignorant guy to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still needed to give an explanation to the officials.

So he asked calmly, "Tao'er, what excuse do you have?"

Zhu Tao calmly left the class and knelt down.

"Father, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao a question."

"allow!"

"Master Zhao, do people with wrong names have to be beheaded?"

Zhao Qing snorted: "Rules are rules, anyone who commits a crime is a death penalty, otherwise, wouldn't the ancestor's rules become empty, let alone change for you alone!"

"According to what you said, water grows wood, and the predecessor of the wood-character generation should have the water character next to it. Your Majesty's sacred taboo does not have the water character next to it. Do you want to behead him as a public display?"

Zhao Qing, who asked a single sentence, was sweating profusely, and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty understands, I don't mean that, I just want to..."

Before he finished his defense, Zhu Tao struck while the iron was hot.

"Also, I, Da Ming, have the virtue of fire, which is better than the virtue of water in the Yuan Dynasty, but you are named Zhao Qing. Qing is black, and the five elements belong to water. This is clearly a sympathy for Bei Yuan, and it is incompatible with Da Ming's fire virtue. , according to your explanation, what should you do?"

"Here……"

Zhu Tao's hat was ruthless enough. He tried to kill the king in vain, and vowed to be incompatible with the Ming Dynasty. No matter what, it was a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.

He was so scared that he cried and begged Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, I really don't have this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said.

"Take off the black hat, take off the official uniform, and hand it over to Beizhen Fusi, let Xu Zengshou go to interrogate and see if they have any other accomplices!"

For a while, everyone felt a little sympathetic to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who didn't know what to do. After all, Xu Zengshou was Zhu Tao's disciple, and one could imagine what would happen to those who scolded Zhu Tao if they came into his hands.
