Daming prepares the emperor

Time is like running water, and it is another spring in a blink of an eye.

This year is the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Zhu Biao is already ten years old, and he has grown a lot taller like a stick.

After the Battle of Longwan, Comrade Lao Zhu conquered Taiping, Xinzhou, Anqing, Jiangzhou and other places one after another, and his territory expanded a lot.Zhu Biao has attended many wartime meetings, his military literacy and political ability have improved, and his IQ and EQ have also risen. At least he will not be able to keep up with his height.

The homework and practice were progressing smoothly, and the only thing that gave Zhu Biao a headache was his unfinished fan.

Not only Liu Ji, but even Zhang Zhong and Zhou Dian thought they had to wait a little longer and asked Zhu Biao to be patient.Zhu Biao didn't know what they asked him to wait for, but he waited for two years.

Two years passed, and he almost forgot about this fan.

But Zhu Biao has grown up. According to Liu Bowen's routine, he thinks that the "waiting" of waiting is probably waiting for some magic weapon that can be added to the fan.

Thinking of Xie Ba who had already lived in Yanque Lake, Zhu Biao felt that Liu Bowen wanted to bring his own dragon's wool.

It is impossible for them to go to Poyang Lake to slaughter dragons for no reason. This is a big deal, and the place is far away. Unless there is some legitimate reason, it is impossible for Comrade Zhu to agree to this plan.

So this is probably waiting until the day when I can go to Poyang Lake in a legitimate way.

But it's not necessarily true, it's hard for Zhu Biao to have any drastic psychological changes due to ordinary things.He doesn't care about killing dragons and chickens.

He is running on the smooth road of being called a qualified heir, and he is gone forever.

In the garden of the handsome mansion.

"Young Master, this month, we caught thirty monsters at the Monster Suppression Office, five of them were innocent, the rest were sixteen for misdemeanors, six for serious crimes, and three were executed."

"There is a bull monster that has never eaten humans, but it was sentenced to death. It was sent to the kitchen of the commander's mansion. You should know about this." He swallowed.

The eldest grandson Wanguan walked behind Zhu Biao, holding the booklet in his hand, and continued to read: "My lord, there is one other thing besides this, the town demon..."

Zhu Biao raised his hand suddenly to stop his words.

Changsun Wanguan immediately shut up, looked up and saw a woman walking towards him, holding a child by the woman's hand.

Zhu Biao said: "Go ahead, let's talk about it another day."

The eldest grandson bowed, stepped back and left.

These two people are Sun and Zhu Jingjing.Sun is a weak woman. After the turmoil of that childbirth, her nerves have been a little tense, as if she was stimulated, and she is very strict with the child. She always takes care of the child herself and refuses to let others intervene.The weather was fine today, she took Zhu Jingjing out for a walk, and happened to meet Zhu Biao.

"Hello, Auntie."

Sun was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, and then stood there nervously.

Move the breath and raise the body.Zhu Biao's aura has increased day by day, and he looks more and more like old Comrade Zhu. It's nothing when he has a smile on his face on weekdays, but as long as he evens the corners of his mouth, whether it's eyes or words, he will give you a good impression. People have a cold sense of oppression, and every move carries the majesty of a superior, making people unable to help but want to obey.

Ever since Mrs. Sun happened to see how Zhu Biao met his courtiers once, her attitude was no longer as natural as before. Although she was not afraid, she did not dare to relax completely.

Zhu Jingjing is a little radish and doesn't understand these grown-up affairs.Her memory seems to be very good, and she still has some impressions of what she experienced when she was still a baby. Since she was able to walk, she loves to run around with Zhu Biao, and she is especially close to him.

Xiaoluotou is wearing a bright yellow dress today, with a red headdress on her head. She can't recognize what kind of shape it is. Maybe it's a bunch of fruits. It's red, just like her small round face, very cute.

Now when she saw Zhu Biao, her eyes were shining, and she ran over crookedly, with a piece of candy in her mouth, and vaguely called Big Brother.

"Big brother, big brother!" Zhu Jingjing rushed over, hugged Zhu Biao's leg expertly, and said excitedly, "Brother, play with me!"

This child has been courageous since he was a child. When he was a baby, he didn't cry much when he was caught by ghosts. Now it's even worse. He likes to climb trees, jump high, and what's worse, he always loves to toss about.

She was either chasing Ju Fei or playing with Liu Chubai. If she smeared herself with mud today, she could fall into the water tank tomorrow.

Mrs. Sun is already very tight, but this child can always find an opportunity to harm himself, like a little spy who sees every stitch, and grasps all kinds of opportunities to sneak out.

Little Luobotou is also afraid of three people in the entire Shuaifu, one is Comrade Zhu, one is Ma Xiuying, and the other is Zhu Biao.Perhaps it is because of the most unusual reason for the three of them, the child's feelings towards people are always somewhat wonderfully accurate.

Comrade Zhu was so busy that he never touched the ground, so he didn't see her very often.As for Ma Xiuying, she also has her own things to do, and she has a gentle and generous personality. Zhu Jingjing wants to make her angry, unless she sets fire to the house.Zhu Biao, that's even worse, he is such a big man, how could he be ashamed to care about children.

Counting down like this, the people that Zhu Jingjing is afraid of can't control her, so let her be lawless.Even Zhu Yan can only bow down to the second place in the degree of exposing tiles in the house.

"What to play with you?"

"Brother! Dog, six out of white!" Zhu Jingjing hugged Zhu Biao's lap, as if hugging a tree, climbed up skillfully, and soon reached his waist, and said with a smile, "Let's throw the ball together give it."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Jingjing have played this recreational activity several times. At the beginning, he was happy to accompany his sister, and Liu Chubai was also willing to catch and play with the ball, but every time at the end, it was not the dog who ran to get the ball.

Zhu Jingjing catches the ball thrown by Zhu Biao most vigorously, as if she is completely unaware that there is a dog beside her. Her behavior makes Liu Chubai not know what to do, so she can only squat beside Zhu Biao and watch the carrot head with him Pick up the ball.

Zhu Biao would be very guilty at this time, always feeling as if he was abusing his sister, doing something bad, and looked around frequently, afraid that someone would see them.

After all, this scene is too outrageous.

This time Zhu Jingjing made another request, and Zhu Biao was determined to refuse her, saying: "Liu Chubai is with my father, and he took it to hunt."

——The one who lied to the children, in fact, Liu Chubai was sleeping in the house, drooling with his bones in his arms.

Zhu Jingjing was a little disappointed: "The dog is not here, so brother, let's go buy candy."

"Sugar Man is going out."

The bright yellow radish head immediately turned to look at his mother.

Mrs. Sun shook her head very firmly and slowly.

"mother--"

"No, no, no, you have eaten a lot of sweets yesterday."

"Oh, my lord is so troublesome." Zhu Jingjing sighed, and after saying this, she seemed to think of something again, grabbed Zhu Biao with one hand, and patted his back with the other, "Brother, get along with dad every day, You are really difficult."

Zhu Biao wanted to laugh, but he still sighed pretendingly: "So you must feel sorry for elder brother, for example - if you see any delicious food, you must leave a portion for elder brother, what did that kid Zhu Yan do? If something bad happens, you must tell your elder brother in time."

"Okay!" Zhu Jingjing waved his hand boldly, "As long as the elder brother says, I will do it!"

I don't know who she learned this look from, she is quite like a hero in the world, Sun is gentle and soft-spoken, but this carrot is born with a loud voice.

Zhu Biao smiled, and just decided to have a discussion with Sun and take her to the city to buy some gadgets for fun, when he heard footsteps behind him.

When he turned around, Sun and Zhu Jingjing were both at a loss, not understanding what he was doing at all.It wasn't until Wu Ce's figure appeared around the corner that he suddenly realized.

Wu Ce was also surprised, and he became more and more admirable. He knew that Zhu Biao could discover himself when he was three years old, but at that time he relied on his eyes, but now he relies on his senses.

The speed of progress is really amazing.

"Young master." Wu Ce cupped his fists and said, "Young master, the Marshal is already calling for someone."

There will be another meeting.

Sun consciously stepped forward, took Zhu Jingjing's hand, led her to her side, saluted Zhu Biao, and stepped back to walk away.

Zhu Jingjing looked very reluctant, looked back at Zhu Biao several times, and did not obediently follow until he promised to find her next time.

------

"It can't be saved!" Liu Ji stood firm, "Marshal, An Feng must not go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and did not speak.

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room, and Liu Bowen's puzzled and angry voice echoed in the room.

"Why bother, Commander?" He said anxiously, "Since the battle of Longwan, Chen Youliang has been staring at the tiger with hatred in his heart, wanting to take revenge. Although he is retreating steadily now, a skinny camel is even more powerful than a camel." Martha, why do you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him and said, "We know that Chen Youliang is watching us, but what about Anfeng? Liu Futong has sent five or six distress letters, and it will be too late if we don't go."

"Then let Zhang Shicheng take down Anfeng!" Liu Bowen said, "Let him take down! What's the big deal if you take him down? When we finish Chen Youliang, we can also take care of him."

"Anfeng is gone, what can I use to block Yuan Ting's army?"

Liu Jidao: "They won't come for a while. Although Zhang Shicheng's move is to curry favor with the Yuan court, he is still different from the Yuan army. Letting him take Anfeng will not..."

"What about King Ming?" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him again, "What about King Ming? That's our emperor!"

"Let him die!"

Liu Ji's words were astonishing. These words were like sparks thrown into the woodpile, thunderbolts hitting the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, moved his lips, but said nothing.

"Let him die!" Liu Bowen seemed completely unaware of the tense and terrifying atmosphere at this time, and remained calm and calm, "Marshal, if you really rescued King Ming, how would you deal with him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Rescue me—"

This time it was Liu Ji's turn to interrupt him, and he sternly said: "Rescue him and let him live, wouldn't that mean putting an emperor on his head? If you let him die, why not let him die in Anfeng? That wouldn't be the case. There is a reputation of being a courtier who overwhelms the master!"

Comrade Zhu's sky was gloomy like a dark cloud, he said in a deep voice, "We know what you mean, you think the same as we do."

He said so, but he still seemed to want to save people.

"Then, let's talk about Chen Youliang. If you lead the troops to Anfeng and he takes the opportunity to attack, what should we do? What should we do to defend?"

"Do you understand the meaning of King Ming?"

Liu Bowen frowned and said, "Take the emperor to order the princes?"

At this moment, both of them heard the sound of the door opening.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned his head away and shouted: "Who? Didn't we say that, no..."

It was Zhu Biao who came in.

"Biao'er is here." After seeing the person clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he waved gently, "Come on, come here, we are discussing something with Bowen, you also listen and talk about it."

Liu Bowen told Zhu Biao the whole story, waiting for his views and opinions.

Things are not complicated.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang still enshrines the nominal leader of the Red Turban Army, Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er, as the emperor, and he uses the Dragon and Phoenix Year Name and the Dragon and Phoenix Banner.Logically speaking, he is just a courtier of King Xiaoming.

But Zhang Shicheng didn't know which tendon was cramped, so he sent troops to surround Anfeng, trying to curry favor with Yuan Ting.Anfeng is the place where King Xiaoming and Liu Futong stayed. Seeing that they had no other choice, they had no choice but to ask Comrade Zhu for help. After all, he has always behaved quite well. Live horse doctor.

Around this matter, Liu Ji and Zhu Yuanzhang had different ideas. One insisted on letting him die, while the other was still hesitating.

But the good and the bad are obvious.

After Zhu Biao finished listening, he didn't know how to answer for a while.Things are not complicated, but the problem is still very complicated. It is a dilemma, but Zhu Yuanzhang still has the final say.After all, a counselor is just a counselor, and a courtier is a courtier. After expressing an opinion, it depends on whether the lord is willing to listen.

There are absolutely not many people who can influence Zhu Yuanzhang. He is very, very, very stubborn and narrow-minded.

Liu Bowen also knew this, so he had some expectations, hoping that Zhu Biao could stand on the same line with him.Because Zhu Biao is one of the absolutely few people.

"Father, I think what Mr. said makes sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We know it makes sense, so don't our words make sense?"

"Yes, but—"

Comrade Zhu suddenly raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao before continuing: "Okay, let's do this first, you two let us think about it."

Seeing that Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen had the same opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little shaken in his heart, and decided to think it over again, so he drove them out and wanted to meditate alone in a secluded place.

"Go, go and see your husband off." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't wait for us at the door, we will be annoying."

Zhu Biao wanted to say that he was waiting at the door, how could your old man see me, but he only dared to say it in his heart, and left with Liu Ji without saying a word.

The door was gently closed, and the moment it closed, Zhu Biao heard the sound of a chair, followed by footsteps, and Comrade Zhu probably paced back and forth inside.

On the way, Liu Ji was not in a good mood either. He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was just making mistakes for himself. Why did he have to ask the emperor to come back?Xiaoming Wang is dead, he can start a family by himself, it's justified, that's great, please come back, whenever he has a headache, he will feel awkward.

His sense of King Xiao Ming is just like what he said - Mu Shu Er, what to do with it.

After choosing Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Ji has been working hard for his own goals. If he lived hundreds of years later, he might have a different choice, but under a feudal dynasty, his most urgent wish is Comrade Zhu Can be emperor.

Create a brand new dynasty and stand up after breaking through!

At this juncture, meeting such an obstacle as Xiao Ming Wang simply gave him a headache.

The pear blossoms on the wall bloomed a little early, and pieces fell to the ground, like pieces of rice paper.

Liu Bowen thought about it, and wanted to say a few words to Zhu Biao, but he held back.

Zhu Biao noticed his hesitation, and took the initiative to say: "I understand Mr.'s thoughts, but this matter is really difficult to handle."

"Sigh." Liu Bowen sighed a long time, "It's not impossible to save King Ming, but the gain outweighs the loss."

"I will persuade the commander-in-chief again, don't worry, sir."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Liu Ji said, "My lord, you are the handsome son, you should understand his temper best, and no one can persuade him to do what he wants to do! Even you and your wife—"

"Madam is on a hunger strike. If I commit suicide, the commander-in-chief may change his mind." Zhu Biao joked.

Liu Ji was amused by him, waved his hand and said, "It's not like that, it's not like that."

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the door, and Liu Ji's sedan chair was parked there. Zhu Biao sent him up, lowered the curtain for him, and saluted: "Mr. There will be news of the decision tomorrow morning."

Liu Ji nodded.

In the evening, Comrade Zhu, who had been busy for a day, really began to think about this matter carefully again.

After letting his son and his subordinates leave today, he walked around the room a few times, but couldn't come up with a result, so he simply put it aside and began to read the paperwork presented by various places.

He knew every word on the document, but he couldn't read it together, not only couldn't read it, but the words were jumping around in front of his eyes, which made people's eyes shine and he was extremely irritable.

It was not until the sun went down that Zhu Yuanzhang realized that his work efficiency plummeted, and he only saw a small amount of paperwork piled up on the table like a mountain.

In desperation, he came to Ma Xiuying's place, ate a big meal, and drank three bowls of porridge with sauerkraut to feel better.

When he felt comfortable, he took off his shoes, put on his socks, and poured a pot of hot water to soak his feet.

"Sister—"

"What? Are you hungry again just after eating?"

Ma Xiuying was lighting a lamp, took a stick to pick up lantern flowers, and then brought them to the table, took needles and threads, and made a pair of shoes.

"Chongba, Biao'er grows really fast."

With a very gentle smile, as if she felt the most beautiful thing, she slowly said: "It was only a small point not long ago, and it needs to be carried away, but now it is already a big child. One day In the same way, clothes and shoes are changed quickly, and many of them can no longer be worn and have to be remade.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's say that the sole of our shoe was broken recently, and no one asked a question. It turns out that you put all your thoughts on your son."

Ma Xiuying gave him a white look: "Your shoes are broken, can the people below know? Will they change them for you? Besides, I see that even if the soles of your shoes are really broken, they are not worn by walking. They beat children!"

It was rare for old Comrade Zhu not to refute her. Recently, he stayed in Yingtian a lot, and whenever he saw Zhu Yan and Zhu Di being mischievous, he would get angry, and he did get angry many times.

The door rang suddenly, and someone knocked on the door outside.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Ma Xiuying immediately put down the things in her hands and went to open the door, let Zhu Biao in, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Why are you here at night? What's the matter?"

There was a young man standing outside the door, his hair was not tied up, and was draped in a mess behind him. He was only wearing a simple coat, and he looked like he had just washed up.

The dim light in the room shines through the window paper, and shines on the flowers and plants in the yard, the pond, and the fiery red rhododendrons. The air is warm and graceful.

The boy's shadow also elongated a lot on the ground, just like his elongated height.

The softness in Ma Xiuying's eyes became softer. Looking at it like this, she realized that her child had grown up.

"It's okay, I'll just see if Dad is with you."

"He's here, come in quickly."

Zhu Biao probed into the bedroom and saw Comrade Zhu with his eyes closed.

"Dad? Dad?"

"There is something to talk about." Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and yawned, "Do you want to ask about our Little Ming King?"

"Yes. I think you have been thinking about it for a day, and you should have made a decision." Zhu Biao asked, "What do you think?"

"Then you are right to ask." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We have figured it out, we need to save!"

Zhu Biao sat down beside him, frowned and said, "Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very serious: "Biaoer, Liu Bowen, he is just a courtier after all, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation."

"Prince Xiaoming is our emperor, the emperor in the face of it, and the leader of all the Red Scarf Army. Rescuing him will make things easier."

"Cao Cao?"

"That's not true." Comrade Zhu said with a smile, "We don't play Cao Cao. Liu Ji, what he saw was Xiao Ming Wang and Chen Youliang. As for us, we saw An Feng, Yuan Ting, Zhang Shicheng and Red Scarf Army!"

"The day after tomorrow, we will lead the army!"

He rubbed Zhu Biao's head: "Biao'er hasn't seen the emperor yet, let's get you one and let you have a look!"
