Father can be an enemy to the country

In Wuying Palace.

"It's a pity that Bo Ren died early and Tiande failed to succeed. In the end, it was my son who sealed the title of Langjuxu. Very, very good." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his beard with satisfaction, even happier than before when he heard the news of the great victory.

"But no matter what, you should talk to us first." Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at the prince with some resentment and said: "Otherwise, there will always be a feeling that your brothers are plotting behind our backs."

"How could it be possible?" The prince smiled quickly and said, "It won't happen next time."

"Would you like to do this next time? Let's see if you dare next time." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips, turned to the second page of the memorial, and saw the memorial text read by Lao Liu.

"Is this used when conferring Zen?" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the article.

"Yes." The prince said, "Father, please take a look."

"We've already finished offering sacrifices to the heavens now, what's the use of reading it?" Boss Zhu muttered. Even so, he still asked the bachelor on duty to read it to him.

The old Hanlin held up the sacrificial text and read it in a melody:

"...My emperor has succeeded to the throne and established an alliance to protect the people. He respects the mandate of heaven and sends troops to the north to drive away the barbarians. He will collect the sixteen states of Yanyun and restore the territory of China. He will clear the inner world of Qing Dynasty, save the people from desolation, and restore China. The majesty..."

"...Three seedlings rebelled against their fate, Yu the Great had an army to conquer; 烃狋 invaded the mausoleum, and Xuanwei launched a Northern Expedition. My emperor specially ordered his ministers to lead an expedition to the north, eliminate the remnants and violence, and bring peace to the army to punish the guilty!"

"...Lead the generals and subordinates to be loyal and dedicated, and the soldiers are brave enough to fight for the lead. The military power is far away in the captive court, and the spirit is flying in the vast sea! Therefore, the soldiers can win without fighting, and the enemy has no fear of fighting!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more excited as he read. He couldn't help but applaud, and said loudly: "It's so well written. It deserves this grand ceremony and this magnificent article to declare the final victory!"

"How can such a powerful article be written without wine?!" The prince took out a wine flask and two wine cups from his sleeves like magic, and filled them first for his father and then for himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Yes, it must be paired with wine to enjoy it." He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with his son, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I feel like this wine is much better than usual, please fill it up again." Zhu Yuanzhang first ordered the prince, and then said to Hanlin: "Continue."

Old Hanlin then shook his head and said:

"...After discovering the enemy, Lan Yu's generals quickly went north, led their troops on an expedition thousands of miles away, and defeated the Yuan Dynasty in the Yu'er Sea... Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, only the leader of the Yuan Dynasty... fled westward. Fortunately, King Yan... After relentless pursuit, he finally captured the Yuan Lord and obtained his imperial seal. He also fought with 80,000 elite soldiers from Wala and led him into Langjuxu Mountain..."

"..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows turned into chrysanthemums and he stopped drinking.

"We finally know why you hid it from us in advance!" He glared at the prince dissatisfied and said, "It turns out you were afraid that this section would be pinched."

"Father, listen first and then speak." The prince said with a slight smile.

"Huh." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted dissatisfied and took a sip of wine.

Then I heard Old Hanlin continue to read:

"...Since then, the evil atmosphere has been cleared away. The sky is pure and the earth is quiet, and dust does not fly! Looking north and south, everything has returned to the king! The sun and moon shine on everything, it is the king's land, and it is as big as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Come back!"

"You all look up to me... Your Majesty, God, relies on you to plan your fortunes. His wisdom comes from those who have come before him, so he can predict and control everything, so his success is unpredictable. I look up to you and follow the calculations, and only rely on the power of God to win the death of dogs and horses." I'll drive you so much, I won't be able to give you enough money in return..."

"Today... I offer sacrifices and blessings of silk to the Temple of Heaven, and thank the Queen of Heaven for her support... so that the chaos can be quelled, the barbarians can be controlled, and the monarch of Guizhou can live in China. I only hope that China will be prosperous, the country will be peaceful, and the people will enjoy the prosperous Ming Dynasty forever. Minister. I would like to send you a message of sacrifice on behalf of my emperor, but God will appreciate it!"

"What a great article, what a great article!" After reading it, Old Hanlin knelt down and handed back the memorial text. He couldn't help but said: "I haven't read such a heartfelt and powerful article in many years. I felt cold today, and I felt dizzy and stuffy. After reading it, I felt hot and warm. , refreshed and actually recovered! ”

"Hahaha." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression also softened a lot, and he smiled at the old Hanlin and said: "Is Lao Liu's article still effective?"

"You are truly worthy of being the Sixth Prince. Even if we and other civil servants have the same literary talents, we will never have the courage to look up to the heaven and the earth!" Old Hanlin praised: "The heaven will learn from it and will definitely protect me, the Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay, go ahead." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Publish this article in Di Bao for everyone to see. This will also bring a successful end to the war between us and the Yuan Dynasty. !”

"I obey, I am honored to do so!" Old Hanlin resigned happily.

~~

As soon as the old Hanlin retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered at the prince and said, "You are indeed the sixth old man. He first attacked us sneakily, and then flattered us so hard that we couldn't get angry."

"Father, just tell me this article is well written, okay?" the prince said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and said: "But the motive is very impure! Even though he knew that he shouldn't talk about Lao Si's merits, he still wrote about him in such a vivid way. Isn't this just to save his life? ?!"

"My younger brother wants to protect his elder brother's life, so it can't be said that his motives are impure, right?" The prince smiled and said, "Besides, didn't my father also have someone publish it?"

"He has already announced it to God, how can we hide it?!" Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said: "If you know your son, Mo Ruofu, do you think we don't know what his plans are? There will be an amnesty after the enshrinement, so it is natural and logical. We can help the fourth child pass the test. What else can we do? We can only follow his orders and help the fourth child to build momentum..."

"Father is so kind!" Zhu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this. He knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "On behalf of the fourth and sixth sons, I, as well as all my younger brothers, kowtow to my father! Thank you for your great kindness!" "

"Stop doing this! The fourth child you are talking about is not my son!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily: "Just stop playing tricks with us in the future."

"Yes, I don't dare to do it anymore." The prince said with a cheerful smile.

"Don't be so playful and smiling, but we have agreed that even if the fourth child is exempted from the death penalty, he cannot escape the living penalty. Otherwise, how can you let Hu Dahai and your Sanshe brothers watch us underground?"

"Yes, I understand. I must also teach the fourth child an unforgettable lesson to prevent him from doing it again!" The prince nodded heavily.

"So you have to warn the sixth child that the fourth child must be brought to Beijing in a prison car without any special treatment." Zhu Yuanzhang said again in a deep voice.

"Father, isn't this too humiliating?" the prince frowned.

"It's okay to feel humiliated. I just want the world to see that even my son, no matter how great his achievements are, will still be severely punished for violating the law." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said:

"Let the world know that after the war is over, the days when you can be exempted from sin are gone forever as long as you can win the war. From now on, the law is the most important."

"Yes." The prince responded hurriedly and seriously.
