Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were talking about overseas affairs. As for how Zhu Biao dealt with the nobles who engaged in land annexation in China, the two of them did not mention it at all.

The two of them were also very enthusiastic and said they would hand it over to Zhu Biao.

Before Zhu Biao took the initiative to report to them, both of them didn't ask a word.

Zhu Biao himself knew that the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han this time were of great significance, so he did not take it easy, but was still calm. He handled government affairs when he should deal with government affairs, and went to the Government Affairs Hall to find Li Shanchang, and even took the Crown Princess to the suburbs for a trip, but he didn't seem to take the matter of handling land annexation to heart.

Tang Shengzong and other nobles were still a little worried at first, but seeing that Zhu Biao did not promote this, his heart gradually calmed down and threatened: The prince was just a formality, and he did not dare and was not qualified to deal with the nobles who would follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

It seems to be true.

If Zhu Biao really did not have the courage to face nobles as they said, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have trained him for so many years in vain.

What is Zhu Biao doing now?

He is waiting!

Wait for the collection of evidence!

...

On that day, Zhao Yong came to the East Palace to help Zhu Biao handle government affairs as usual.

Zhu Biao also asked questions like usual, and then came up with opinions and solutions.

After a busy day, Zhao Yong put the government affairs he handled today into categories and then resigned to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I'm going back first."

No matter how late it is, the palace will be closed. If he can't get out, he will inevitably have trouble.

Therefore, when Zhao Yong left, he usually closed the palace before the palace was closed to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In the past, if Zhu Biao was dealing with government affairs, he would respond to let Zhao Yong leave, but this time it was different. When Zhao Yong said that he was leaving, Zhu Biao directly stopped him: "Marquis Nanxiong, don't be impatient."

"Um?"

Zhao Yong was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped hearing Zhu Biao's words.

According to convention, Zhu Biao would let Zhao Yong leave now, but suddenly he stopped him. Zhao Yong was still a little uncomfortable and turned around to look at Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, what else is there?"

"You wait first."

Zhu Biao lowered his head and continued to handle official duties. Zhao Yong stood beside him, standing uneasy.

After Zhu Biao finished correcting the memorial in his hand, he put down his pen and looked up at Zhao Yong. Seeing Zhao Yong standing uneasy, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with Nanxiong Hou? Are you still nervous if you let you stay?"

"No, no."

Zhao Yong calmed himself down and explained: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and the door of the palace is closed on time. I'm worried that not leaving before closing will cause unnecessary trouble."

"There is nothing to bother with. I'll let you take it out at that time." Zhu Biao sat on the chair and looked up and down at Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong felt a numb heart. Zhao Yong had a ghost in his heart and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, just arrange for me if you have any questions. I will do it for you."

Zhu Biao did not answer Zhao Yong's question, but asked back: "Marquis Nanxiong, after so long, have you not had anything to say to me?"

Zhao Yong's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly became nervous when he thought of the dirty things in his heart. However, he still habitually thought that Zhu Biao was just a child. Even if he wanted to deal with him, he would not dare to do too much.

Thinking about the years that he has followed Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao has always had a gentle and elegant personality, and he has never seen him blush. Such a prince should be easy to deal with.

Zhao Yong's heart suddenly became much more stable, and he bowed to Zhu Biao and said, "I would like to ask the Crown Prince to make a clear statement."

Explicitly?

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong who was bowing to him and sneered in his heart.

He seemed to be respectful to himself, but in fact he had no respect for himself at all. Since Zhao Yong had this attitude, Zhu Biao thought he was nothing to be polite.

"Marquis Nanxiong, I remember you are from Luzhou? Later, you followed your elder brother Zhao Heng to guard Chaohu. When my father fought to Chaohu, you surrendered to my father, and then followed my father to fight south and north. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you were named Marquis Nanxiong."

Zhu Biao talked about Zhao Yong's history, and Zhao Yong stood there honestly, lowering his head and listening to Zhu Biao's words respectfully: "Later, you returned to Luzhou. Recently, I was in Yingtian and heard a message. I don't know if it is true. Please ask Marquis of Nanxiong to solve my doubts."

Zhao Yong also knew about him recently circulating in Yingtian Mansion, but Zhao Yong was not as worried as he imagined. He stood there without saying a word, waiting for Zhu Biao to continue talking.

"Marquis Nanxiong, the man named Zhang Chi from Luzhou, is his family from your brother-in-law's wife's house, right?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong, "I heard that he bought a lot of land in Luzhou and said that he was doing things for you? Is that true?"

"Who is Zhang Chi? I don't know him."

Zhao Yong did not admit it, but bowed to Zhu Biao again and said, "Please also ask your highness to investigate clearly."

Observe clearly?

Zhu Biao shook his head secretly. Zhao Yong really didn't hit the wall and didn't look back: "I don't need to be careful, I just need to know the facts. Marquis of Nanxiong, I'll give you another chance and tell me, did you arrange Zhang Chi?"

"no!"

I have chosen not to admit it before, and now Zhao Yong will not change his words.

If you don’t admit it, you won’t be afraid that Zhu Biao can do anything to him.

Besides, the one named Zhang Chi will die if she dies, and Zhao Yong doesn’t feel sorry for her at all.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but instead became relaxed: "It is worthy of being a powerful general who is both civil and military in battle with my father. However... if Nanxionghou's brother-in-law and Zhang Chi could be like you, it would be much better."

“…”

Zhao Yong's face suddenly changed, and he looked very ugly.

He didn't expect that Zhu Biao would bypass him and do it directly. How could he do this?

"Come."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, the palace guards outside the door walked in. Zhu Biao looked at Zhao Yong: "Send Marquis Nanxiong to see his brother-in-law and Zhang Chi. It has been a long time since they saw each other. We should have a good chat and let our Marquis Nanxiong think clearly whether someone disobeys or someone instructs him to do it!"

Zhao Yong looked up at Zhu Biao, and he suddenly realized that he had seen a different side from Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was gentle and elegant in Zhao Yong's mind, but now Zhao Yong found that Zhu Biao and Zhu Biao in his perception were completely different.

There was something else he had never seen before in Zhu Biao's eyes.

This expression was seen by him in Zhu Han's eyes and in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Ruthless! Decisive! Firm!

Zhao Yong couldn't help but shivered...

This made Zhao Yong suddenly realize that the Crown Prince in front of him seemed to be different from what he had in his impression.

The dragon gives birth to the dragon, and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are both people. How could the next generation of their Zhu family be mediocre?

Zhao Yong felt particularly regretful at this time. What he regretted was not that he told a lie, but that he underestimated Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, I will leave!"

This time, Zhao Yong said sincerely.

Zhu Biao was indifferent to this. He had already given Zhao Yong a chance. Unfortunately, he was not sure about it, so he couldn't blame Zhu Biao!

I deserve it!

At the same time, Zhu Biao also saw that Zhao Yong's underestimation of himself was not an isolated case.

Including the military generals and nobles of Emperor Shengzong of Tang, they all looked down on themselves.

It’s easy to say that he looks down on Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao likes this feeling of being underestimated. In Zhu Han’s words, it’s called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

This will make it much easier to deal with problems, and the opponent will take the initiative to reveal your shortcomings because he underestimates you...

After seeing off Zhao Yong, Zhu Biao pointed his finger at the military generals and nobles led by Feng Sheng, but he was not in a hurry. The longer the time delayed, the more flesh it would cut off from the nobles. What Zhu Biao wanted now was an opportunity.

Of course, if someone comes to Zhu Biao to admit it voluntarily and reveals the facts and truth, Zhu Biao will also give them a glimpse.

After all, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang handed over this matter to Zhu Biao. What they wanted was to make Zhu Biao establish his authority, and then look at Zhu Biao's methods of dealing with the problems. If these two things are done well, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang will not pay too much attention to some minor issues.

...

Zhu Biao is looking for opportunities to deal with the nobles. Among the nobles, there are also people who understand and are always looking for opportunities to open a breakthrough from Zhu Biao.

For example, Feng Sheng.

It is different from the original history. In the original history, Feng Sheng's brother Feng Yong was not killed in battle. He is now named Duke Ying and lives well. He is now colonizing Goguryeo on the eastern front of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with Feng Sheng and Feng Yong, Feng Yong was the only general in the army who could play 55 with Xu Da. Zhu Yuanzhang did not make any compensation to Feng Sheng because of Feng Yong's death. It was a great honor to name him Duke of Song.

However, there is one thing that Feng Sheng cannot compare with Feng’s use, he is very cautious... To put it bluntly, he is too hesitant.

Since we learned that Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the thorough investigation of land annexation to Zhu Biao.

Feng Sheng was always very careful. He didn't go out of the door, but his eyeliner was always staring at Zhao Yong.

At the beginning, Feng Sheng, like everyone else, did not take Zhu Biao seriously, but soon he became alert: If Zhu Biao accomplished nothing, how could Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang hand over the matter of dealing with military generals and nobles to Zhu Biao?

It is a very risky step to give Zhu Biao a chance to establish his power by dealing with the group of military generals and nobles.

After understanding this, Feng Sheng immediately became uneasy. He hid at home and thought about how he would deal with it next, so when Emperor Shengzong and other generals came to him, he kept a close look.

Then, Feng Sheng sent someone to stare at Zhao Yong. He did not dare to send someone to stare at Zhu Biao. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, it would be no different from rebellion, but Zhao Yong would go to see Zhu Biao every day. As long as he went home on time, Feng Sheng felt relieved.

When he was staring at first, nothing happened, but soon Zhao Yong disappeared and he didn't go home for several days. Feng Sheng quickly realized that something happened to Zhao Yong. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be Zhao Yong taken by Zhu Biao. Otherwise, how could he have no news?

Zhao Yong is the only weakness around Zhu Biao. Now that this weakness is gone, Feng Sheng has no meaning to continue to hold on.

Of course, if something happened to Zhao Yong because of other things, Feng Sheng’s current worries would be redundant, but Feng Sheng dared not gamble!
To be continued...
