Factory owner is king

Chapter 95

This rebellion in Shu was different from the past.

The elite under Zhu Chun's command had been exhausted, and he was unable to put down the rebellion by himself, so it was inevitable for the imperial court to send troops to support him.But who to send?
In Nanjing Chengtian Hall, Lan Yu knelt on the ground, looking firmly at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair, without saying a word, with a decisive attitude.

Everyone understands the meaning of Lan Yu's kneeling, but no one speaks, everything depends on the Emperor's will.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sapphire under the golden steps with a dazed expression.

Sapphire is not too young now, she is in her fifties, but her body has always been strong, she can eat a bucket of rice, and it is easy to open a bow with five loads.Perhaps because he didn't pay enough attention in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that Lan Yu had changed from a tall and burly general and generalissimo to a pale old man with a sluggish expression since he didn't know when.

'It seems that the disappearance of his son really hit him too hard. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help sighing secretly.

At first Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Lan Chun's disappearance was arranged by Lan Yu himself, but the investigation by Jin Yiwei and the school inspector and Lan Yu's state at the moment made him finally completely put away his inner suspicion.

The purpose of Lan Yu's petition today is actually not difficult to guess. He wants to lead troops to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion and seek revenge from the White Lotus Sect.

As Lan Chun's former good brother, Zhu Yuanzhang should agree to his request, but as an emperor, he couldn't.

'What if the other party threatens with his son's life?After all, Lan Chun's life and death are still unknown. '

'Or Lan Yu's self-respect in the army, to suppress the Bailian bandits without destroying them? '

'Or Lan Yu simply took advantage of the situation and rebelled? '

Zhu Yuanzhang had ghosts in his heart, so he would no longer unconditionally believe in Sapphire's loyalty as before.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "Sapphire."

"Your Majesty." Sapphire's voice was hoarse.

"Your health is not good, so don't go." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little guilty, but he still insisted on looking at Lan Yu.I am the Son of Heaven, even if I am wrong, I will make a mistake to the end.

"Your Majesty!" Sapphire slammed her head heavily on the ground, tears streaming from her eyes.

This obeisance is not a gift from the monarch and ministers, but his sapphire's submission and final pleading.

But how can these move Zhu Yuanzhang's heart like a stone!
"Peace!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a young man among the officials.

"The minister is here." Ping An went out to pay homage.

"You lead an army of [-], and prepare for it tomorrow, and rush to the CD mansion to support the king of Shu and help him put down the rebellion."

"Yes." Ping An respectfully replied.

"Xiao Xuewen, Li Guihe."

"I am here"

"All supplies, such as food, military equipment, etc., should be handed over to Ping An for escort."

"According to the order."

"Back to the court, Yunwen will come with me. I have something to tell you." Zhu Yuanzhang got up and went to the harem.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed and kowtowed three times, and then retreated one after another.

"Get up." Song Guogong Feng Sheng looked at his old friend Lan Yu on the ground with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

'Zhu Yuanzhang!Zhu Chongba! Sapphire stood up slowly, sniffed her nose suddenly, then reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and walked out without saying a word.With a tall and straight figure and resolute steps, the Sapphire who roamed the battlefield back then is back. At this moment, to be precise, it was the moment when Zhu Yuanzhang refused his plea!
"Don't do stupid things." Feng Sheng murmured, "No one will follow you."

The grandfather and grandson came out of the golden palace. Zhu Yunwen supported Zhu Yuanzhang and walked aimlessly in the palace. Lao Zhang led the eunuchs and eunuchs to follow from a distance. There was no one around. In front of his beloved grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang just Put away the majesty of the emperor, in the words, there is only the love of the elders, and the kind of grandpa of the emperor. . . . .worry.

"Emperor, Grandpa Emperor." Zhu Yunwen said weakly: "Grandson... grandson..."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen with some amusement: "I am your grandfather, is there anything we can't talk about?"

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said, "Did my grandson do something wrong?"

"Oh." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "I can't blame you entirely."

The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen has become much closer now because of Xu Ruyi earlier.Although Zhu Yunwen was still a little afraid of his grandpa, but he was able to try to understand him, and some words were not kept in his heart like before.

In order to allow Zhu Yunwen to adapt to the government affairs of the court as soon as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him to go to court with him every day to listen to the government.These have been introduced before, but the most critical point is that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately allowed Zhu Yunwen to properly cultivate his own power in the court, and he did not have to report everything to himself in advance.

It was precisely with this premise that Zhu Yunwen asked Huang Zicheng to write a letter to impeach Shu King Zhu Chun, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not receive any news in advance.

"You. You are still too young." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, pointed to a big tree not far away that was as thick as two people hugging each other, and asked, "If grandpa gives you an axe, let you take that tree When a big tree is cut down, where do you cut it down first?"

"This..." Zhu Yunwen looked at the tree, pondered for a moment, and tried to answer, "Of course the trunk should be cut first."

"Yes, the trunk should be cut first!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was meaningful.It's a pity, seeing Zhu Yunwen's ignorant look, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"I'm also confused, playing charades with my grandson." Shaking his head in self-mocking, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Grandpa knows that in your heart, you are always worried about your uncles, you want to cut down the feudal clan, right. "

"Yes" Zhu Yunwen replied honestly, he had nothing to hide from his grandpa.

"For me, cutting down the vassal is just a matter of thought." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed disdain: "I am the emperor, the Hongwu Emperor who conquered this great river and mountain and established my Zhuming Dynasty. Your vassal kings Uncles, to put it bluntly, they are only my sons and ministers. As long as I make a will, the world's feudal towns will naturally disappear."

"Grandpa, you..." Before Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted: "But I ask you, if you are worried about your uncles, then who do you trust in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"This..." Zhu Yunwen was stunned, thinking for a long time, but there was no one in his mind.

"This is also my helplessness." Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward slowly again, sighing in his mouth: "The feudal lords have too much power, and all I can do is to limit them as much as possible, and even arrange some enemies for them on purpose to check and balance, otherwise If Lan Yu went to Mongolia the year before last, I would let him kill all the Yuan people directly, instead of leaving a trace of vitality. If the vassals and towns are really abolished, then you will let me hand over the vacant official positions and rights For whom?"
