In this situation, even if the old man doesn't want to kill those people, those people have to die too.

Jing Nan and his gang of old fellows are already relying on their merits to sell their elders a little bit.

Some time ago, Zhu Di wanted to release the slaves who belonged to the capital, and these old guys were still unconvinced and made a fuss. Later, it was the killing on the street that made these old guys calm down.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days, these guys jumped out again.

"What do you think? You want me to pass the list to grandpa."

Zhu Pangpang gave Zhu Zhangui a white look, "I let you go, will you go?"

Zhu Zhangui smiled and knocked on the memorial.

"I'll go, send these moths on their way, why don't I go."

For those who drank the blood of soldiers, Zhu Zhangui would kill one by one.

The army is the guarantee of the country. Without a powerful army, no matter how rich or rich a country is, it will be a fat sheep.

Therefore, as far as a country is concerned, its finances can be in deficit, food can be lacking, and it can barely survive without money, but the army cannot fail.

Once the army falls, the country is over.

So Zhu Zhangui will never be soft on this kind of moth that sucks the backbone of the country.

"You."

Zhu Pangpang pointed to Zhu Zhangui, he knew it would be like this.

In fact, he is also very disgusted with these people, but out of consideration for the situation of the court, these people really cannot be killed.

The country is going to war next year.

Some veterans also wanted to go to the battlefield to fight desperately, but before they left, you killed his nephews and nephews.

If you do this, those veterans will work hard for the court.

"Aren't you two going to meet your grandfather soon? My idea is, you go to the old man to find out who is on his list of amnesty this time?"

"Even if there are no such people, you should try to persuade the old man not to touch these people before he comes back from the war."

"After the war, whether these people should be killed or kept, or let them use the military achievements of the older generation to offset the crime, we will make a decision at that time."

Although Zhu Zhangui disagrees with Zhu Pangpang's idea, he understands that it is the best choice for the current situation.

The people arrested by Zhu Di's order this time almost covered most of the Jingnan nobles.

One of the logistics officers of the Fifth Army Battalion was Zhang Fu's nephew.

When this person was taken away, he kept shouting for his uncle to save me.

It's a pity that Zhang Fu just lowered his head and didn't say a word about it.

Zhu Zhangui saw with his own eyes that the old man had been staring at Zhang Fu.

The coldness on that face was completely lacking in the praise and admiration for Zhang Fu when he was in the martial arts arena.

Zhu Zhangui and his wife didn't stay in the East Palace for long, so they went to the old man's bedroom.

When I got to the place, I saw the old man happily sitting at the dining table waiting.

The meals on the table were all covered, obviously waiting for the couple to come and eat together.

"See the emperor, the emperor Sheng Jin'an!"

Zhu Zhangui and his wife went into the house to pay respects.

"Okay, I'm safe, I'm safe, get up."

Looking at the two people saluting, Zhu Di put a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands to help them up.

Then he stretched out his hand to beckon, and Little Snotty hurried forward holding a tray.

On the tray is a jade ruyi, with beautiful gemstones inlaid on both ends of the ruyi, and a golden tassel tied to the tail.

Reaching out his hand to take out Yu Ruyi, Zhu Di looked at Zhao Linger and said, "This is the Yu Ruyi that your great-grandfather rewarded your grandma when she got married. I have kept it with me for so many years as a memory."

As he spoke, he stroked Yu Ruyi, and Zhu Di seemed to see his wife.

"This is a reward from me on behalf of your grandma. In the future, we will spend more scattered leaves on our family."

"This…"

Looking at Yu Ruyi in front of her, Zhao Linger hesitated, wondering whether she should take it or not, and looked at Zhu Zhangui in embarrassment.

After all, this thing is too precious, and it has special meaning to Zhu Di.

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile.

"The gift from the elders is irresistible. Neither the second aunt nor the third aunt have this Yu Ruyi, which shows how much grandpa loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing what her husband said, Zhao Linger no longer refused, and raised her hands to take it.

"What did you call me?"

Zhu Di asked pretending to be angry.

Zhao Ling'er realized that she had yelled wrongly, so she quickly changed her words.

"Granddaughter-in-law, thank you grandpa!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Zhu Di laughed and put Yu Ruyi into Zhao Linger's hands.

After Zhao Linger Xie En got up, Zhu Di asked the couple to have breakfast with him.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang's personalities are very similar. According to the royal rules, you can't talk when eating, but Zhu Di doesn't care about it.

"When you came, did your father ask you to bring anything or something?"

The old man held the porridge bowl and drank the porridge, cast a glance at Zhu Zhangui, and asked a casual question.

"Grandpa, you know!"

Zhu Di chuckled, picked up the quickie and tapped Zhu Zhangui.

"Not only do I know about this, I even know about the girl you arranged for the second child."

Zhu Zhangui, who was laughing with him, froze suddenly.

Chapter 97: The Father's Teachings

"It seems that I guessed well, it really is the person you sent.

Looking at Zhu Zhangui in astonishment, Zhu Di pointed at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui's face darkened.

Guess.

As expected, I am far from someone like the old man who has played with his mind all his life.

It was taken into a ditch by accident.

The two questions the old man asked just now are actually inductive.

For the first question, let yourself be surprised first, and feel that the old man has eyes and ears everywhere, and you can't hide anything from him.

Then, before he came back to his senses, he directly expressed his guess, and then observed his facial expression to get the answer from it.

It seems that during this period of time, my life has been a little smooth, and I have gradually let go of my vigilance.

"Zhanji came to me last night and said he was going to marry a girl. At that time, I was curious about what kind of girl would make Zhanji forget about Sun Ruowei, but after asking, I found out that the girl looks almost the same as Sun Ruowei."

Zhu Zhangui didn't speak, just looked at the old man quietly.

"After learning about the girl's appearance, I became vigilant in my heart. The appearance of this person is too strange. This girl was probably sent here on purpose and arranged to be with Zhanji."

"Then I was thinking, who is this person?"

With that said, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui.

"Guess who the first person I thought of was?"

Zhu Zhangui pointed to his nose, "I am, who else but me? The biggest beneficiary is no one but me by arranging people next to the second child. If it is someone sent by the second uncle or the third uncle, then their second The first target should be me."

Zhu Di nodded, and educated him earnestly:

"You are too impatient. Although it is the easiest time to get into Zhanji's heart by arranging a girl next to Zhanji at this time, it is also easy to arouse others' suspicion."

"If it were me, I would wait for a year or so until the matter of Sun Ruowei is gradually forgotten, and then let this girl approach Zhanji."

"Also, in terms of candidate selection, you did not do the right thing. It is not good to be too similar. If you want to choose, you should choose the one who only has a four-fifth likeness. Only in this way can the best effect be achieved."

Zhu Zhangui whispered to the old man who was talking eloquently, with some doubts: "Aren't you angry?"

Zhu Di smiled back and asked, "Why should I be angry?"

"I sent someone to monitor the second child. Shouldn't you, the old man, get angry at me and ask me to evacuate him?"

Zhu Di chuckled.

"Get angry, why should I be angry? Little brat, let me tell you the truth, not only am I not angry, but I am also very relieved."

Zhu Zhangui was even more lost in the lake.

Did this old man take the wrong medicine?

He sent someone to monitor his younger brother. The old man, who always wanted family harmony, was not angry.

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui didn't want to understand for a while, Zhu Di smiled and explained to him: "You send someone to Zhanji's side. If you know what bad thoughts he has, will you let him know immediately? It puts out any thoughts that shouldn't be there."

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"My mother and my father have told me about this more than once. They told me that they hope that the second child will not be too difficult for him because he has sacrificed so much."

"That's why I sent people by his side."

"In the future, if he wants to think something he shouldn't have, I will persuade him to give up for the sake of the relationship between you and your parents and brothers."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

"That's the end of it. You sent someone by his side. Although it meant monitoring, it also saved his life."

"Although this method of yours is somewhat useless, it can be regarded as fulfilling the promise you made to me and your parents."

After all, the old man sighed.

"The royal family is like this. On the surface, it is a harmonious family, but in fact, there are countless conspiracies and struggles behind the scenes."

"It's like your father and your second and third uncles. Don't look at them as brothers and sisters in front of me. In fact, I know a lot of things they do behind the scenes."

"There is nothing in the royal family that does not fight or fight. If there is a harmonious family, then there will be problems."

After expressing some emotions in his heart, the old man inadvertently noticed that Zhao Linger kept his head down, not daring to listen to the conversation between the two, and suddenly patted his forehead, apologizing:

"As soon as this man gets old, he likes to talk nonsense, and he has left the girl here. Come on, come on, girl, eat quickly, eat whatever you want, don't be polite when you get to grandpa."

After having breakfast with the old man, the old man took Zhu Zhangui and his wife, as well as Zhu Pangpang and Mrs. Zhang who rushed over, to the Ancestral Temple, and told the old ancestors that the old Zhu's family had imported them.

After paying homage to the ancestors, Zhao Linger returned to the East Palace with Mrs. Zhang, and Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Pangpang were called to the Shang Study Room by Zhu Di.

As soon as he entered Shangshu's room, Zhu Di said frankly to Zhu Pangpang:

"Go back and tell those people, I won't let them go, but I won't kill them now, tell them, go to the battlefield and exchange their heads for me, five heads for one head, how much they eat, give me Ten times the amount will be handed over to the household department."

"Also, the Ministry of War, the main generals of the three major battalions, the supervisory censors collectively fined their salaries for one year as an example."

"Tell them, this is for Jing Nan's sake, I will give them a chance. Favors are hard to earn, but they are consumed quickly. Next time, I will personally send them on the road."

Perhaps Zhu Di was thinking about going to war, or for other reasons, so he let these people go.

However, Zhu Zhangui felt that the main reason was because of the participation of his second uncle.

If the old man chooses to punish those people severely and ignores Zhu Gaoxu's offense, then the veterans below will definitely be dissatisfied.

Your son is still the leader and it's fine, so why are we who only eat leftovers beheaded and ransacked.

As the saying goes, when the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.

If this matter was placed in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, there would be absolutely nothing to say, and all heads would be beheaded.

Even if it's his own son, Lao Zhu never winks when he chops.
