Father can be an enemy to the country

Earlier, the main hall of Heungbok Palace.

"Haha, old lady, what brought you here?" Looking at the angry Taigong Hu, Zhu Yuanzhang felt guilty and laughed awkwardly.

even.

"It's the evil wind blowing by the Emperor!" Hu Taigong said angrily: "Your Majesty, why do you never do anything about human affairs? You kidnapped my daughter, but you still have a wife at home! My dear daughter, I can only Make a side house for you!"

"It's all an old score, so let's not settle it, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sarcastically: "Besides, I haven't treated Sanniang badly in these years."

"Yes, she has been thrown into the cold palace, how can she be treated badly?" Taigong Hu was trembling with anger. If he hadn't beaten the other party, he might have wiped out all the nine clans. He had to pick up the wolf fang and teach this bastard son-in-law a lesson!

"Ah, who told you? The sixth child? This stinky boy, we have to beat him to death when we turn around!" Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and stared at him, then smiled apologetically at Hu Taigong and said: "We were just joking, don't do it." Count, don’t count.”

"I won't settle these accounts with you yet!" Hu Taigong took another step forward, rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "I came to you today because of King Chu's affairs! You know when he knocked on my door that night, What does it look like?"

"What's it like?" Zhu Biao has not allowed his brothers to take the initiative to talk to their father, so Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't know, and those who know don't dare to tell him.

"He has unkempt hair, only two eyes are white, his clothes are in tatters with half of his butt exposed, his feet are bare, he is leaning on a bamboo stick and holding half a broken bowl..." Hu Taigong said with red circles under his eyes, feeling sad. I can't talk any more.

"Oh, so miserable?" Zhu Yuanzhang also took a breath of air. "Why does this outfit look like a beggar?"

"Isn't he just a beggar?!" Hu Taigong patted the emperor's case, sprayed saliva on the emperor's face, and shouted: "He walked three hundred miles all the way to beg for food! Do you know how much he suffered and how much he suffered? Are people being bullied?!”

"Why don't you know? It's as if no one has ever asked for food..." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered in a low voice.

"Can that be the same? When you were a child, your family was ruined. You had no food or water. If you don't want food, you will starve to death!" Hu Taigong said angrily: "But what about him? He has a father and a mother, and he is also a majestic prince of the Ming Dynasty! You You can make him ask for food. In the past and present, have you ever been as father-like as you?!"

"When Heaven assigns great responsibilities to people, they must first suffer from hardships and deplete their bodies..." Zhu Yuanzhang did his trick again. "We let him experience it. No matter how much he suffers, it is still part of the experience."

"Is this for training? He did it to save you and the lives of the people in the two counties!" Hu Taigong said loudly: "Look at how he became a son, and then look at how you became a father? Don't you blush? You?!"

"Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang had no words at this time and had to raise his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, Lao Taishan is right, we were wrong, and we are sorry for our sons. This time we really didn't expect that Fengyang would be like this What a ghost, otherwise I wouldn’t let them come here to practice no matter what I say.”

"Hmph..." Hu Taigong's expression softened slightly. He couldn't really do anything to Boss Zhu. After all, he was here to seek justice for his grandson, not really to cause trouble.

"Come on, please take a seat." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took advantage of the situation, stood up and personally supported Hu Taigong, sat down on the Jindun and said:

"It's not like Lao Taishan doesn't know that we are rough people. For many things, the idea is good, but when it comes to implementation, it just doesn't work that way.

"At first we thought it was because we didn't study enough, so we read every day and tried our best to follow what the book said, but guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's still a damn fool!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand dejectedly.

"Tsk..." Hu Taigong couldn't help laughing, and almost broke his skills.

"So, we made a lot of mistakes, but we didn't have bad intentions. We did bad things with good intentions." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "For example, if we let our sons return to their hometown for training this time, it is really to let them see the sufferings of the people, and they will be better in the future. The feudal lord also knows how difficult it is for the common people, so he will not let the common people have no way of survival."

"If this is your purpose, then your experience this time has been very successful." Taigong Hu chuckled.

"Hey, don't mention this, don't mention this anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly changed the subject and asked about the health of Mrs. Hu and his wife and how they were living in Linhuai.

"I'm living a good life, so I don't need to worry about it, Your Majesty." Taigong Hu said calmly: "I'm old, I can live a peaceful life for a few years, what else are you not satisfied with?"

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to ask him about Zhongdu, but he softened his mind and did not pose any more problems to Taigong Hu. Instead, he sent a big gift package and said: "Although King Chu is still young, it is time to consider setting up a bodyguard for him." .According to regulations, the prince has three guards to protect his army. How about we want his two uncles to command two guards for him?"

This does not mean that the king of Chu will become a vassal.

Because not only did the vassal king become a vassal later than the enfeoffment, but some guards were also formed long ago.

The benefits of forming a guard in advance are obvious. It takes some time for an army to be formed and to become combat effective. In peacetime, it may even take several years.

In the future, whether the vassal king will lead a hastily formed vassal to conquer the vassal, or lead an elite army to conquer the vassal, one can imagine the difficulty of the start.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had already established the Three Guards of Xi'an for King Qin, the Three Guards of Taiyuan for King Jin, and the Three Guards of Guangxi for King Jingjiang.

At present, only these three kings have guards, not even King Yan and King Wu. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a guard for the King of Chu in advance, which was considered a reward.

And this is also of great benefit to the Hu family. As long as there are no major problems, their family will share weal and woe with the King of Chu from now on, and they don't have to worry about the decline of their family fortune.

As for the remaining guard, of course it is reserved for the future Yue family of King Chu...

All good men are lost in the hands of children and grandchildren, let alone the wealth and honor of children and grandchildren. Of course, Taigong Hu had to accept this love. He stood up tremblingly and bowed down:

"On behalf of my son and the Hu family, I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness!"

"Hahaha, old grandpa, get up quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see Hu Taigong finally surrendered to him. "Go back and pack up, and your whole family should go to Beijing as soon as possible. This must be done sooner rather than later, otherwise we will have to pick the remaining soldiers."

"Yes." Taigong Hu nodded in agreement. Xin said that it seems that King Yan and King Wu will also set up guards at the same time. This is what the question is supposed to mean, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

~~

After seeing off Taigong Hu who had lost his temper in person, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to see Zhu Zhen coming in on an ox, so he decided to take care of him as well.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about Lao Liu's temper. He touched the big buffalo's butt and praised: "This cow is really good. Let's let the cow go. Liu Caizhu's family does not have such a good cow."

"Of course." Zhu Zhen suddenly said proudly: "Look at this waistline, these broad shoulders, big hips, arched hind legs, round hooves, thick ears and square horns. He is the purest 'Liu Baili' from Jianghuai!"

"Hey, I quite understand." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that his son was learning and selling now, and thought that he was doing one thing, loving one thing, loving one thing, and learning one thing. The two men relied on the Great Sage Pingtian to discuss their experience in raising cattle.

When talking about the excitement, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked with a smile: "Lao Liu, do you want to raise cattle in the palace? I mean after you go back..."
