The next day, above the court hall of Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again asked Zhu Biao to read out an edict in public, telling the world that he was going to patrol the west! After hearing this decree, all the civil and military officials looked shocked!

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly decide to tour the west, and it would only be a few months later!

The Chinese New Year is still half a year away. In other words, after the Chinese New Year, the emperor will leave Yingtian Mansion and go to the northwest?.Originally

, only a few people knew about this matter, and it was the Crown Prince Zhu Biao who was supposed to patrol the west, but now it was His Majesty the Emperor who went there himself! This also made several officials who knew about it even more shocked! Of course, in addition to being shocked, many officials began to panic!

When the emperor leaves Beijing for a tour to the west, he will inevitably come into contact with more people and things among the people, and some of the things they do in the local area may be directly uncovered by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Especially the group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu! Since the business in the northwest suddenly became prosperous, they didn't secretly let people stir up troubles in order to get a piece of the pie in the northwest! After the morning court, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to the imperial study.

After just announcing the emperor's intention to patrol the west, the father and son all saw the reaction of the civil and military officials in the court! Needless to say, many people have problems, and many people come forward to try to dissuade them!

But what Zhu Yuanzhang decided cannot be changed by this group of people!

The more they tried to dissuade me, the more guilty they seemed, and in the end they had no choice but to acquiesce to this fact!

But this still makes Zhu Biao a little puzzled!

"Father, are you too anxious to announce the Western Tour so early?"

In Zhu Biao's view, even if the old man has determined the time for the Western Inspection and wants to prepare for it, he can just make the preparations in private and then announce it when the Western Inspection is almost here! If the old man has any intention To catch all officials off guard, we shouldn’t announce the news more than half a year in advance. Doesn’t this give these officials time to prepare?"We think it’s appropriate to announce it now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed disapprovingly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was exactly the opposite of Zhu Biao's!

It is possible to catch all officials by surprise, but Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose was not here. He was not staring at ordinary corrupt officials, but Those nobles and important ministers! Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to beat them all to death with a stick, but more importantly, beat them!

Moreover, if he did not tell these people the news before 333, how could they take action? It will show off!

These imperial guards trained by Zhu Yuanzhang are not used as decorations!

I am not afraid that you will move, but I am afraid that you will not move! With more than half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang can definitely see what is going on in this court. Which clowns will be the first to jump out and make moves? Zhu Biao is naturally smart, he just hasn't turned around yet!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident look, he seemed to have immediately thought of the old man's intention! But at the same time, I was secretly relieved!

At least the old man didn't intend to go on a killing spree, which was good news! Others, Zhu Biao, were not worried. He was most worried about the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu!

After returning from the battle in Mobei in the 20th year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was officially granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom the following year, and was granted the title of General.

It can be said that he was very satisfied and prosperous, and even the entire Huaixi nobles became arrogant!!

In the past three or four years, Lan Yu has become more and more arrogant and domineering based on his military exploits!

And how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Lan Yu was doing? But Zhu Yuanzhang chose to turn a blind eye? , unless Lan Yu goes too far, he will scold him, but that's it at best!

After all, there is still a prince Zhu Biao who will intercede for him.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to touch Lan Yu, even if Even Zhu Biao couldn't stop him!

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately let this guy get carried away and reap the consequences!

To put it bluntly,

Lan Yu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to touch him at all, and he was still Zhu Biao. Biao's uncle was naturally confident and didn't realize the crisis at all! He didn't know that if it hadn't been for Zhu Biao, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!

, even Zhu Biao couldn't find an excuse to stop him!

Zhu Yuanzhang might have let other Huaixi nobles go because of Zhu Biao, but Lan Yu would definitely not be included among them! Even if Zhu Biao is alive, but if the emperor is Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu doesn't have to die!

But in fact, this idea is too one-sided!

Lan Yu may not rebel against Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao may not be able to completely control it! Him! It's very simple. Even the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang cannot completely control Lan Yu. How can Zhu Biao do it?

Just because he calls Lan Yu uncle

, is it destined that Zhu Yuanzhang will not give up hope ? As long as Lan Yu will be grateful to Zhu Biao, he will only use it! The emperor is ruthless, and he doesn't believe in such an emotional bond! If Zhu

Yunxi becomes the emperor, he will not be able to tolerate Lan Yu!

, Zhu Biao is gone too. What if Lan Yu, like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, all want to play the trick of coercing the emperor to control the princes?

Therefore, before Zhu Yuanzhang died, Lan Yu's fate was almost certain, and it would not change whether Zhu Biao died young or not!

But because Zhu Biao would protect Lan Yu, it was difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to take action, so he allowed him to continue to be arrogant and domineering! When the charges against him become more and more numerous and serious, so big that even Zhu Biao can't defend them, it will naturally become a matter of course!

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang only planned to beat some important ministers, including Lan Yu, because he had already decided to pass the throne to the fourteenth old man! In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter how unruly Lan Yu was, he still had to lie down in front of the Fourteenth Old Man!

Only Old Fourteen has that ability and can really wield this knife!

In other words, it was Su Wang Zhu Kai who became the emperor, and Lan Yu had the chance to survive!

Of course, it still depends on whether Zhu Lai likes him and is willing to use him! It is undeniable that Lan Yu is indeed a good hand in marching and fighting, but Lao Shisi himself, his generals, including his two sons, are no worse than Lan Yu!

If Lan Yu wants to continue to be his Duke Liang, he will never be able to continue living unless he completely surrenders to Old Fourteen and is willing to be the knife in his hand!

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let Lan Yu go. He plans to leave Lan Yu's fate to Lao Si4 to decide!...

The residence of Duke Liang.

A group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu gathered together, apparently discussing the old man's sudden decision to tour the west! This matter is really too sensitive for them!

The main reason is that many of their businesses now are inextricably linked to the Northwest! Even if Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering, she will definitely feel uneasy!

You know, their Emperor Hongwu can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes!

"Could it be that the superior suddenly decided to tour the west just because he wanted to move the capital to Xi'an?"

The founding father Chang Sheng frowned and analyzed.

"If it’s not because of the capital relocation, why else?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the capital was to be moved to Xi'an, it would not have been possible for Xi'an to be temporarily managed by King Su!"

"Anyway, if the capital is moved in the future, Xi'an Prefecture will also be the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The superior can legitimately take Xi'an Prefecture back. In the end, King Su will just be busy working for the court!"

Song Guogong Feng Sheng felt that this was the most likely possibility!"That shouldn't be the case. If it's just to inspect the relocation of the capital, wouldn't it be enough to let the prince go according to the original plan?"

"Is it necessary to go there in person if you are in a position of superiority?"??

Chang Sheng's brows twisted into a knot!"You mean, there are other purposes for being in power?"

"Could it be that the superiors knew about us pouring refined salt in the northwest?"

As soon as Feng Sheng said these words, the faces of all the nobles present suddenly turned ugly! This is also the problem that everyone is most worried about!"Don't forget to put gold on your face. It's just a trivial matter like ours. As for asking the superior to go to the northwest in person!"

Lan Yu, who had been silent all this time, snorted disapprovingly when he saw that everyone was a bit jealous!

"If the superiors really thought so, the prince would have told us already!"

Lan Yu's subsequent words made everyone feel relieved.

No one would doubt the relationship between Lan Yu and Prince Zhu Biao. If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to touch Lan Yu, Zhu Biao would definitely say hello to Lan Yu in advance.! It’s not like there’s no news at all now!

"So, we don’t have to worry about this anymore?"

Chang Sheng nodded suddenly.

As long as there is no problem on the prince's side, there will naturally be no problem on their side! After all, it's not just Lan Yu, Chang Sheng is also the prince's brother-in-law!"It won't work if you don't do anything.!"

"Everyone has to let the caravans under their control temporarily restrain themselves. It is best to reduce the number of trips to the northwest. Even if they go, they can't be so high-profile!"

"The superiors may have released the news in advance this time, just to see the reactions of all of us!"

Feng Sheng is obviously more cautious than Lan Yu and Chang Sheng! Although Lan Yu looked disapproving, she did not open her mouth to refute, obviously acquiescing that Feng Sheng's words were reasonable!

……

A few days later.

Prince Su's Mansion in Ganzhou.

Mother and son Zhu Zhanfeng and Saiga Sutushan have been learning how to use chopsticks recently!

Prairie people basically eat with their hands. At most, they use props or daggers they carry with them. They call this a table knife, which is used to cut cooked meat!

When we first started eating, Zhu Zhanfeng took out a knife in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked by him! The habits of nomadic people are still very tough!

Because the table knives in their hands can also be used to kill people. They can even wipe them after killing people and continue to use them as table knives! Fortunately, Concubine Gao and Mrs. Gu also knew that Zhu Zhanfeng grew up on the grassland, so they were relatively tolerant of this.

Otherwise, it would really give Zhu Mei a headache for a while!

At the dinner table, although Zhu Zhanfeng has begun to work hard to learn to use chopsticks, he still has the habit of eating meat in big mouths, which naturally makes loud chewing sounds and slurping sounds!

Concubine Gao and Mrs. Gu were both doing well, but Mrs. Li frowned frequently, obviously looking like she couldn't accept it!

Because Zhu Kai had this habit before, it seemed that it was a bit unacceptable to Mr. Li!

However, Zhu Kai can easily change it, and Saijia Sutushan can also consciously restrain himself, but for Zhu Zhanfeng, it is a bit difficult! After all, he is only a child over four years old!

It seems that this kid still needs some time to learn the Han people’s table culture!

After eating, Zhu Mei returned to his study.

But not long after, Zhu Zhanfeng followed directly!

"Father, can’t Han people make any sound while eating? Then why did the child see other Han people on the street eating almost the same as us nomads when he was outside the palace?"

Zhu Zhanfeng asked Zhu Mei with a puzzled look on his face.

"First of all, you are also Han, and you must consider yourself Han from now on!"

"Your current status is that you are the son of King Su and the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"

When Zhu Gai heard this, he corrected Zhu Zhanfeng with a serious face.

"The child understands!"

Zhu Zhanfeng nodded, but there was still a look of confusion on his face.

Obviously, this change of identity was too fast, and he couldn't adapt to it for a while!

Zhu Kai also saw this on the spot, But he didn’t act too hastily. After all, the child is still young. I believe that if you give him a certain amount of time, he will eventually develop a sense of belonging to Daming!"Very good!"

"I can answer your previous question. The Han people you see on the streets outside are all poor people and don't have so many rules!"

"In poor people's homes, if there is meat on the table, they will naturally rush to eat it. This is how the words"wolfing down" and"devouring" come from!"

Zhu Kai nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly explained

"So why do we have so many rules?"

"Aunt Li's eyes changed when she looked at the child just now. Did the child do something wrong and make Aunt Li unhappy?"

Zhu Zhanfeng asked again

"Well, because your Aunt Li comes from a family of civil servants and has received the strictest Confucian education since she was a child. They believe that only those who eat and sleep silently are well-educated. Making noise while eating is something that only animals can do!"

"Therefore, Confucian people are not allowed to make any sound when eating. Even when chewing, they cannot make the slightest sound. They must chew carefully and slowly!"

"At the same time, you cannot talk while eating. This is called eating without talking!"

"Even when you are sleeping, you cannot talk casually, which is called sleeping silently!"

Zhu Gai also answered Zhu Zhanfeng's questions without hesitation!"How uncomfortable is that?"

"The kid is a rough guy and doesn’t understand these etiquette, and my uncle and the others have never taught me this. Everyone eats meat and talks loudly at the same time!".
