First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 31 The Arrogant Warrior

  Zhu Biao knocked on the door twice, and Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

   After Zhu Biao came in, he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, knelt down and said, "Father, my son has returned from offering sacrifices to his ancestors."

  Zhu Yuanzhang cheerfully walked up to Zhu Biao and pulled him up: "Okay, Biao'er has worked hard! How was the journey? What did you see?

  Zhu Biao stood up and returned: "My son saw along the way that the country is broken and the people are in dire straits."

  Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the desk: "Seeing this, you didn't go out for nothing. You can't figure out what it's like to live in poverty when you read books and newspapers in the palace."

   "How do you get along with the elders in your hometown?"

  Zhu Biao didn't believe that Lao Zhu didn't know what happened to him all the way, but he had to answer honestly.

   Slowly talking about everything he did when he worshiped his ancestors, and conveying their admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang for the elders in his hometown.

  Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the documents, and after a while he asked, "What do you think of Lan Yu?"

  Zhu Biao didn't answer right away, thinking about how to answer in his mind, which is the best choice, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't urge him while reading the book.

   "My son thinks that Sapphire is a bit arrogant!"

  Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I'm not afraid of his arrogance, but I'm afraid that he has no ability, Biaoer, people with ability will inevitably have a little temper, it's nothing!

   Zhu Biao understood as soon as he heard it, and silently nodded in agreement.

  After waiting so honestly for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and stretched after finishing the government affairs: "Biaoer, you go out for a walk with Dad. We have been busy all morning, and our waist is sore."

  Zhu Biao obediently stepped forward to give him a hand. After the father and son walked out of the study, Zhu Yuanzhang took his son's hand and started walking, followed by some maids from afar.

  Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao to the high platform and looked down, "Biaoer, all civil servants and military generals are trying to persuade us to come in and persuade us to quickly open the Yuan Dynasty and proclaim ourselves emperor! Those who don't know think they are going to be emperors!

  Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a calm face but continued to exude a terrifying aura, and thought to himself that it was no wonder Zhu Biao died young.

  He has not become emperor yet, and Lao Zhu's majesty is getting better day by day. Even though he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang will never hurt his son, he is still unavoidably frightened.

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your destiny belongs to you, and now most of the world is under your control. Uncle Xu has also started the Northern Expedition, and Yuan Ting's will to resist has long since collapsed. The good news came."

  Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, Zhu Biao went on to say: "All the generals have been fighting for many years, and now they all look forward to your founding the country. They also enjoy wealth and honor, and it is not incomprehensible to be human."

  Zhu Yuanzhang patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Yes, Biaoer has grown up, but have you thought about how to confer titles?"

  Zhu Biao hurriedly cupped his hands: "This is not something my son should consider. My son is young, and even the generals are a bit incomplete. How can we know the merits and demerits of so many of them."

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "We have records of their merits and demerits, but we will award them according to their merits. Do you think they will be satisfied?"

  Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "I'm sure he won't be satisfied. How can people's hearts be satisfied?"

  Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Okay, Song Lian taught us a good son,"

   "Biao'er is right, they won't be satisfied! They only remember how much credit they have made but never remember the mistakes they made! Now Dad is not in a hurry to start the country because he is afraid that they will cause trouble and disrupt the great cause of the Northern Expedition!"

   "But seeing my father so sad, I guess I can't drag it on any longer?"

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "There are a lot of troublemakers, and they are all from Huaixi. They are all my old brothers who have been through life and death with me. I am embarrassed to kill them all like this."

  Zhu Biao almost laughed out loud, I dare say you didn't kill them because of embarrassment.

   "Since that's the case, why don't my father proclaim himself the emperor first, and the canonization of nobles, and say to the outside world that he will wait for Uncle Xu and Chang Shuai to come back to unify the canonization."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "If Yuan Ting relies on natural dangers to stick to Dadu, then I am afraid that it will not be able to take it down in two or three years. This matter can be delayed for a few months, but it will never be delayed for a year. We can't be the emperor ourselves. There are no rewards for soldiers every year."

  Zhu Biao can’t say that Yuan Ting has lost his fighting spirit long ago, and will give up and run away in July next year.

  Zhu Biao asked: "Then what does the father think?"

  Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, "Then Kaiyuan proclaims himself emperor! Let's give them what they want, and if they refuse to accept and dare to make trouble, then don't blame us for being cruel."

  Zhu Biao was worried for those people, but there was nothing he could do. As I said before, these soldiers have fought for many years, and now they have become arrogant soldiers. Even Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't pay much attention to them.

  " Opening their mouths and shutting their mouths is what they do, and after drinking, they claim that without them, there would be no Emperor Zhu.

  According to their intentions, not to mention mere dukes and marquises, all of them should be crowned kings.

   Are these people meritorious? Yes, they are all veterans who crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses all the way, how could they not have meritorious deeds!

   But they are not wrong? Are all heroes? On the contrary, they are full of flaws, not to mention heroes, each of them has dozens or hundreds of innocent souls.

  Their moral level, even Zhu Biao has heard of it, is something that is ungrateful for money.

   Either kill innocent travelers and merchants, seize money and then cut off the head as a spy of the Yuan court or other false leading military exploits.

   Either the troops with poor military discipline slaughtered the people when they passed the village when marching, raped women, burned the village, cut off the heads of the people, cut off their hair and pretended to be soldiers of the Yuan court.

  This is the case in this era. In troubled times, such things happen frequently. Zhu Yuanzhang has already killed many such generals.

  But there are always some people, regardless of their poor character, but there are many brothers. They form a group, and even Zhu Yuanzhang can’t kill them all.

   Now some have gone to the Northern Expedition, and some are staying here waiting for the founding of the country to be awarded.

   It is also they who are persuading people to come in every day, wishing that the founding ceremony will be held tomorrow. After all, civil servants want face, and eating too ugly is out of style, and no one is so hasty.
