Father can be an enemy to the country

"Meet the prince." The two sides met at the edge of the Pavilion Lake. Pan Yuanming and Dao Tong bowed and saluted.

"Come, come, come." Zhu Zhen greeted everyone to sit down in the pavilion. Mu Xiang and the palace maids served fruit refreshments, made fragrant tea, and then quietly left.

"Sit down, drink some water to moisten your throat." Zhu Zhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

After all the officials thanked them, they sat down around the round table.

Surrounded by lotus leaves touching the sky, golden scales swimming, people sitting in the pavilion look like they are in a painting. I just feel the cool breeze blowing, and the heat from summer heat disappears.

"Kunming is such a good place." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "I was in Daning last summer and it was not so cool."

"Yes, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's like spring all year round. It's indeed a blessed land." Daotong said with a smile: "Looking from the map, Guangzhou and Guangzhou are very close to the south, but they are two different places in the sky."

"Hahaha, that summer in Guangzhou, I really went there once and never dared to go again." Zhu Zhen recalled the heat he suffered during his trip to Guangzhou and couldn't help but shake his head.

"So I have to thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me again." Daotong smiled and cupped his hands.

"Oh, old Taoist, you have become a lot more cheerful." Zhu Zhen said very happily: "When we remembered that you were so bitter and resentful all day long, we didn't even laugh."

"I was almost forced to death by Zhu Liangzu at that time, how could I laugh?" Daotong said with a bitter smile.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "But I seem to be pushing you into the fire pit again."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Daotong clasped his fists and said proudly: "Since I am in Yunnan, I am planning to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"

"No wonder the prince insisted on inviting your brother here." Pan Yuanming suddenly said: "The energy and spirit are different from those of the old man."

"Hey, Lao Pan, you are already great enough." Zhu Zhen smiled and praised: "A retired veteran cadre was re-employed to such a difficult position. He worked there for five years and opened up such a good situation for Yunnan. It's incredible. It is said that the plum blossoms bloom twice and the flowers are more beautiful!”

"If you weren't over seventy years old and suffering from illnesses, I would definitely let you go to Ava." He sighed and said, "Although Daotong is young and powerful, he has no experience as an official in Yunnan after all, and he suddenly takes on a heavy responsibility. I'm really afraid that it will be difficult for him to handle it."

Then Hu Quan and his son looked at each other and thought to themselves: Why is the prince so polite when talking to Lao Pan and the others, and so vulgar to us?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Pan Yuanming hurriedly reassured Zhu Zhen: "Brother Zhihe has been in Yunnan for half a year. According to Wei Chen's observation, he is definitely worthy of the important task, and Wei Chen has already introduced him to the situation in Yunnan. He You will definitely not disappoint the prince.”

"I must do my best for you." Daotong also expressed his position: "Of course, the situation in Yunnan is indeed very complicated, and I still need to humbly seek advice from Senior Pan and all my colleagues."

"That's right, and it's not just the Han officials. You need to communicate more with the chieftains." Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "The Outer Yunnan you are responsible for is actually the Central Burma province of the Yuan Dynasty. But after Kublai Khan conquered Central Burma, due to various reasons , and did not actually rule it like Yunnan, but continued to be managed by the original royal family. "

"So the chieftains there have a much lower sense of belonging to the Celestial Dynasty than those in Inner Yunnan." Zhu Zhen continued: "And because the Dai people have been dominant for a long time and have formed a large Dai culture, we will not be like us when we assimilate. It’s so easy to get into Yunnan.”

"Yes." Daotong hurriedly responded: "I will remember the teachings of the prince. When you go, see more, listen more, communicate more, and make decisions before taking action."

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "What are the benefits? After the unified Bagan regime was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, it split, and was later conquered by Luchuan, so many of them were no longer energetic, and There are many conflicts between the various departments and they cannot be unified. "

"So you must not regard them as one." Zhu Zhen emphasized his tone and instructed his fellow Taoists: "But through understanding, we must distinguish those who are willing to surrender, which ones can be fought for, and which ones are stubborn. of."

"As for the last type of die-hards, don't have any illusions, we must resolutely and completely eliminate them!" Zhu Zhen waved his hand heavily and said murderously: "There are no outsiders here. I might as well make it clear. I am sending you here to use you." The murderous spirit!"

"I also brought you someone from the capital." Zhu Zhen said to his fellow Taoist again as if he was offering a treasure:

"It's Wu Yong, the former left-hand judge of the Criminal Justice Department. You must have heard of his name before, right?"

"That's for sure." The smiles of the three frontier officials were a little unnatural. Even Dao Tong felt that this person was too extreme... The shadow of Guo Huan's case was still in front of him. If the prince hadn't taken action, local governors like them would probably Everyone has to go in!

"I and my eldest brother asked my father to remove the interrogation department." Zhu Zhen said again: "He is now the interrogation officer of the palace chief Shisi. Of course, this is just to bring him to Yunnan. Such a talent should be retained. It’s too humiliating to be in the palace.”

When everyone heard this, they thought, "Isn't Xie mainly afraid that he will overthrow the palace?"

"Yunnan has not yet set up an inspection department. Just ask him to follow you to Ava. Let him do any dirty work. He is good at it." Zhu Zhen then said to fellow Taoist: "You still have to pay attention. If you have a low image, don’t become a cool official in everyone’s mind, as it will be bad for future development.”

Zhu Zhen always spoke honestly and sincerely to whomever he talked to, without even a trace of falsehood. Except of course Boss Zhu...

Daotong nodded movedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, Daotong only seeks to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and never cares about his own reputation."

"It is precisely because you don't care that I care for you." Zhu Zhen said to the three people in a deep voice: "Those who are good at planning for the country are often poor at planning for themselves. I want to protect people like you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. We are deeply grateful." Daotong and the other three were so moved that their eyes were red. With such a boss, how could they not work hard for him?

Zhu Zhen took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said to Pan Yuanming: "Old Pan, you stay in Kunming, but the burden of building a new city is also heavy."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will build a new city for you and the people of Yunnan at the cost of my old bones!" Pan Yuanming said with a pat on his chest.

Just like the problem encountered by Guizhou City, the space of Kunming City built in the Yuan Dynasty was too small and was not worthy of Kunming's current status.

This capital city of Yunnan is a transit hub of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It connects Guizhou and Guangxi to the coast in the east, Sichuan and Chongqing to the Central Plains in the north, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia in the south, and Myanmar and India and Pakistan in the west. Once the functions are functioning properly, the population will grow explosively.

In less than five years, the city was packed with people, and even towns began to form outside the city. In order to adapt to the terrifying development speed and to demonstrate the permanent rule of the Ming Dynasty over Yunnan, the task of building the new city of Kunming is imminent!

Even Boss Zhu urged Lao Liu several times to treat the construction of the new city of Kunming as a top priority. For this reason, Feng Shui Master Wang Zanghai was sent to Kunming last year to do feng shui and select a site for the new city.
