Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 1377 Knowing when to stop can keep you out of danger and last long

Zhu Zhen used up an entire bottle of alcohol cotton wool and almost caused Lan Yu to collapse.

Then he started to give him the medicine for the golden sore, and said in a calm tone: "I heard your obsession from my sister-in-law, and it's not completely incomprehensible. A person has a face, and a tree has a skin."

"The prince is right..." Lan Yu said angrily: "A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. The emperor might as well kill his ministers."

"If I kill you, you will be a cold Duke of Liang." Zhu Zhen sneered: "Even if your iron certificate is confiscated, the imperial edict will remain in the history books and be laughed at by future generations."

"What should I do in this humble position?" Lan Yu raised her head with tears in her eyes, how could she still look half arrogant?

"Know your shame and then be brave, you idiot!" Zhu Zhen said in a loud voice.

Lan Yu was excited, looked up at Zhu Zhen and said, "What should I do with my humble position?"

"You must first realize your mistake from the depths of your soul." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "Do you know that you are already standing on the edge of a cliff? If you don't restrain yourself, you will fall to pieces!"

"Yes, I know." Lan Yu nodded hurriedly.

"You don't know!" Zhu Zhen said in a more serious tone: "You don't even realize that your situation has changed!"

"The situation has changed?" Lan Yu looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise, obviously not realizing it.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen said seriously: "In the past, it was okay for you to be arrogant and domineering. Because the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed, the court wanted to use your strengths, so it had to tolerate your shortcomings. Now that the Northern Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, what about Walawu? Liangha's danger has been lifted, and the imperial court will not fight any more major wars in the foreseeable future. Your strengths are no longer useful, but you have become more arrogant and domineering. How long do you expect others to tolerate you? "

"'Cunning rabbits are captured and hunted by hounds, and tall birds are gone but strong crossbows are hidden'?" Lan Yu hissed, his mouth full of bitterness.

"Since you know this sentence, you should understand that this is a law, and it does not change depending on how great your merits are or how good the emperor is to you." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "It will always work, but to different degrees. There are gentle people who release military power over a glass of wine, and there are ruthless people who massacre all kings with different surnames.”

After a pause, he asked quietly: "Which faction do you think my father belongs to?"

"..." Lan Yuxin said, is there any need to ask?

"If you don't tell me, I will know your answer." Zhu Zhen said in a more serious tone: "Now do you realize how wrong you were?"

"I realize it..." Lan Yu nodded horrifiedly, unknowingly breaking out in white hair. "Then what should I do now?"

~~

In fact, Zhu Zhen didn't want to tell Lan Yu so much, but if he didn't suppress this guy's bad signs, he would get worse in the future, and even plot evil. As a result, the skin was peeled off, stuffed with grass, toured the country for exhibition, and finally sent to Sichuan. Keep it with his son-in-law.

He himself did not regret dying, but he had implicated too many people, including himself, the third brother, the fifth brother's father-in-law, and model generals like Fu Youde, who would all be involved in the Lan Yu case and die brutally. Not to mention the marquis below and countless middle and low-level generals.

A total of more than 15,000 people were implicated in the Lan Yu case, all of whom were leaders and backbones of the Ming army. It directly cut off the inheritance of the Ming army and destroyed the combat effectiveness of this invincible army.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Zhen. Over the years, he had worked hard with the soldiers of the Ming army and had long established a deep relationship. He could not just sit back and watch this invincible army comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties go downhill.

Although the entire responsibility cannot be placed on Lan Yu, Lan Yu was definitely the trigger for the destruction of the military commander group, and Zhu Zhen had to extinguish his flames no matter what.

~~

"What should I do?" Zhu Zhen saw that Lan Yu's face had lost its previous rebelliousness, and then he gave him some guidance: "After you know your shame, you must know how to stop. If you know how to stop, you will have concentration, and then you will be able to calm down." "

"Uh..." Lan Yu was dumbfounded. He understood these words, but he didn't quite understand what they meant when combined.

"You can't understand such simple words. Who will be finished if you don't finish?" Zhu Zhen lectured him: "Why are the generals who can last for a long time all Confucian generals? Because they understand the principle of 'knowing to stop and not to perish, can last for a long time' , and be able to practice it personally.”

"So read a book first when you go back. If you don't understand it yourself, find a teacher to explain it to you." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The first half of my sentence is from the "Tao Te Ching", and the second half is from the "Book of Rites". You can ask someone to explain it to you." Read these two books to you carefully, and come to me when you understand them and figure them out.”

"How long will it take?" Lan Yu said with a bitter face.

"It depends on when your impetuousness will wear off." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "If you can't change it, I won't use you again, so as to prevent you from harming others and yourself. Of course, you will never do anything in this life. I want to get rid of the shameful title.”

"What?" Lan Yu became extremely keen at this time. She grabbed Zhu Zhen's hand excitedly and asked, "What does the prince mean, can you help me change my title back?"

"What's so difficult about this? Even if I help you modify the iron coupons, it's not impossible." Zhu Zhen whetted Lan Yu's appetite.

"Really, that's great, please help me, Your Majesty!" Lan Yu then lay on the bed and kowtowed, saying repeatedly: "I will definitely listen to Your Majesty, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"I have already said that you should first study to cultivate your character, understand how to stop, and when you are calm and your mind is calm, then come to me to tell you the next step." Zhu Zhen was too cautious.

"Hey... I understand." Lan Yu could only nod and said: "I will start reading when I get back from my humble job. I will ask the best gentleman to explain it to me, so that I can calm down as soon as possible and know where to stop."

"Okay, if you can really do it. Not only will the king look upon you with admiration, but the prince and the emperor will also look at you highly." Zhu Zhen nodded and asked, "Can you get up?"

"Yes!" Lan Yu gritted her teeth and stood up with support.

"Go and apologize to my elder brother, and then go home and study behind closed doors." Zhu Zhen ordered.

"Yes." Lan Yu nodded heavily, took two steps forward and turned back to Zhu Zhen, clasping her fists and saying, "I am truly lucky to meet the prince in a humble job."

"Go." Zhu Zhen waved his hand.

~~

Lan Yu walked step by step outside the prince's study, knelt at the door and said loudly: "Prince, the Sixth Prince has already scolded me to wake me up. Lan Yu knows that I was wrong."

"I'm dizzy, I'm not a human being!" he said, slapping himself in the face. "I'm sorry for the Emperor's expectations, I'm sorry for the Crown Prince's love, and I'm sorry for the Sixth Prince's protection! Prince, don't worry, I will go back and study hard and reflect. If I don't calm down, I will never come out to harm others! "

There was naturally no movement in the room, so Lan Yu kowtowed three times, then stood up and left.
