Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

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 have been secretly trying 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 Tour and wants to prepare for it, he can just do the preparations in private and then announce it when the Western Tour is almost here!

If the old man deliberately wanted to catch all the officials off guard, he shouldn't have announced the news more than half a year in advance. Wouldn't this give these officials time to prepare?

"We think now is the right time to announce it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed disapprovingly.

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

It is possible to catch all officials by surprise, but Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is not this. What he is staring at is not ordinary corrupt officials, but those nobles and important ministers!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to beat everyone to death with a stick, but more importantly, beat them!

Moreover, if the news is not told to these people in advance, how can they take action?

As long as there is action, it will naturally show its flaws!

These royal guards trained by Zhu Yuanzhang are not just for decoration!

I am not afraid that you will move, but I am afraid that you will not move!

With enough time for more than half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang can definitely see which clowns in this court will be the first to jump out and do something?

Zhu Biao is naturally smart, he just hasn't turned a corner yet!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident look, he seemed to immediately think of the old man's intention!

But at the same time, I was secretly relieved!

At least the old man doesn’t mean to go on a killing spree, which is good news!

Zhu Biao is not worried about the others. What he is most worried about is the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu!

After returning from the battle in Mobei in the th year of Hongwu's reign, Lan Yu was officially granted the title of Duke the following year and was worshiped as a general. It can be said that he was very proud and prosperous!

Even the entire Huaixi nobles became arrogant and arrogant!

In the past three or four years, Lan Yu relied on his military exploits and became more and more arrogant and domineering!

And how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Lan Yu was doing?

But Zhu Yuanzhang chose to turn a blind eye. Unless Lan Yu went too far, he would scold him, but that's all at most!

After all, there is a Crown Prince Zhu Biao who will intercede for him!

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to touch Lan Yu, and even Zhu Biao couldn't stop him!

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately indulged this guy, so that he would eventually get carried away and reap the consequences!

To put it bluntly, it’s just flattering!

Lan Yu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to touch him at all, and since he was Zhu Biao's uncle, he was naturally confident and did not notice the crisis at all!

He didn't know that if it weren't for Zhu Biao, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Blindly indulging him now is just to make it more convenient to kill him in the future, so that even Zhu Biao can't find an excuse to stop him!

Zhu Yuanzhang may let other Huaixi nobles go because of Zhu Biao, but this will definitely not include Lan Yu!

Later generations are analyzing that if Zhu Biao was still alive, or even if Zhu Biao died, but the emperor was Zhu Yunxi, Lan Yu would not 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 him!

It's a simple truth. Even the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't completely control Lan Yu. How could Zhu Biao do it?

Is it just for him to call Lan Yu uncle?

With a character like Zhu Yuanzhang's, he is destined not to place his hopes on Lan Yu to be grateful to Zhu Biao, so that he can only use it for him!

The emperor was ruthless. He didn't believe in such an emotional bond!

If Zhu Yunxi becomes the emperor, Lan Yu will not be tolerated!

Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, and so is Zhu Biao. 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 decided to pass the throne to Lao Jiu!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter how unruly Lan Yu was, he still had to lie down in front of Lao Jiu!

Only Lao Jiu has that ability and can really wield this knife!

In other words, it was Zhu Li, the king of Han, who became the emperor, and Lan Yu had the chance to survive!

Of course, it still depends on whether Zhu Yue 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 Jiu 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 Lao Jiu 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 Jiu to decide!
