After reading Zhu Shangbing's experience as a general, Zhu Yuanzhang's inner turmoil was difficult to calm down for a long time. He sighed deeply at the competition of his younger generations, as if he had aged a little in an instant.

Faced with the known situation, what can be determined is the outcome of the three people.

What worries him the most is whether his second child will be as destined in three years.

Then there is Zhu Shangbing...

Thinking of that loyal and kind-hearted child, he couldn't help but have a kind smile on his face, and a touch of helplessness in his eyes. He was amazed at his abilities, and felt pity for this child who lost his father early.

"What should I do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the palace lantern in confusion, and fell into deep thought. Should he let it grow or...

After a long time, he relaxed his frown and shook his head remembering the last time he met the child.

"Forget it, let's wait until we have another meal and take a closer look."

…

In the backyard of Linde Hall.

Zhu Shangbing, who didn't know that he had fallen into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, was playing with the chess game boredly. His hand paused slightly when he saw the disadvantageous move, and he didn't know what to do next to avert the danger.

There were frequent voices in his head, urging him to move to the indicated position.

Li Er, who was already urging, heard Li Jing open his mouth to confront him, and his voice became a little higher. He asked a rhetorical question, and Long's power was clearly revealed.

"General Li, are you saying that the chess game played by a few people is unstable?"

The emperor is arbitrary and does not allow others to comment.

Li Jing was speechless after hearing this and said nothing more.

Fortunately, peacemaker Zhang Liang appeared in time and resolved the deadlock with a slightly teasing tone.

"Okay Li Er, the prime minister can support a boat, let alone the emperor."

"I heard you say before that we don't treat each other as kings and ministers, and we only treat each other as old friends. Why do you get red-eyed while playing chess? It's unworthy of the demeanor of an emperor through the ages."

In a few words, the conflict between them was resolved, and neither party was offended.

He also gave the good-looking Li Er a hat on his head.

Zhu Shangbing had long been accustomed to hearing those sounds. Just as he was about to place the piece on the chessboard, a sound came from outside.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the eldest son of King Qin's concubine have a meal together at noon."

The inexplicable decree made him confused, and he vaguely accepted the decree under Zhu Ping's urging.

Before he could ask why, the King of Qin next to him secretly laughed and teased him.

"I never thought that my father would ask you to accompany him to dinner. You must take this opportunity to behave well and say a few good words for your father, brat."

Even so, he felt inexplicably disappointed at the end. Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's inexplicable behavior a few days ago, he sighed.

The father's bad temper will come back at some point, so it's always good to let his son talk a few more words first.

Deng's death stands between grandfather and grandson, and I don't know if this kid has any grudges.

Zhu Shangbing nodded upon hearing this and returned to the chessboard, puzzled as to why Zhu Yuanzhang would think of letting him, the unpopular eldest son of King Qin's concubine, accompany him to the meal even when he was fine.

They were usually the two left behind by the late Crown Prince Zhu Biao. If they were known, wouldn't it be...

He shook his head and simply did not think about these things that had not happened yet.

When he was bored, Zhang Liang's voice suddenly came to his mind, and he chuckled.

"Xiao Zhu, if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. Why don't you talk to us about your uncles and brothers?"

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and the rest of the people in their minds couldn't sit still. They all opened their mouths to listen. Even Chen Qingzhi, who never liked to join in the fun, was very interested.

Having said this, Zhu Shangbing suddenly thought of someone.

The dragon walks and the tiger steps, and the horn of the sun reaches into the sky.

Zhu Di, King of Yan.

And Yao Guangxiao, the evil monk who follows him around like a shadow.

The eyes are triangular and shaped like a sick tiger. If you want to describe this person, there are only four words: Buddha's mouth and snake's heart.

When Zhu Shangbing talked about the Battle of Jingnan, he almost laughed out loud when he mentioned Li Jinglong. Hundreds of thousands of troops could not stop Zhu Di. He couldn't help feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang's sword was too cruel.

Put down some straw bags and rice bags.

But everyone is like an iron string. If Jinan wisely retreats from Zhu Di, why worry about the instability of the throne.

The few people who were originally very interested were all less interested after hearing about the Battle of Jingnan. The outspoken General Huo immediately laughed at him without concealing his disgust.

"What kind of general do I think I am? I'm just a half-measure. If the Ming Dynasty's throne is snatched away by these people, why don't Xiao Zhu give it a try? We can't defeat him?"

"King Yan is a reckless man, but the times create heroes."

"Then Zhu Di only knows very little about the art of war, and his ability to lead troops is much worse than I imagined."

…

Zhu Shangbing, who was a little impressed at first, heard the words of several people and asked in his heart with curiosity on his face.

"Why did you say this?"

The majestic Hongwu Emperor granted the wolf the title of Xu, and later generations even compared him to Huo Qubing.

Unexpectedly, General Huo himself opened his mouth and said frankly that it was nothing more than that.

With anticipation in his heart, he silently waited for a few people to respond.

The big guys laughed loudly when they heard this and were not in a hurry to answer Zhu Shangbing's question.

After waiting for a while, Li Jing smiled and spoke.

"I don't know the rest of you, so I'll use the Emperor as a comparison. I haven't witnessed the tactics with my own eyes, so it's hard to comment. But I've heard you talk about the strategy for a long time, Xiao Zhu. Zhu Di and the Emperor are like fireflies and bright moons."

"In our eyes, Zhu Di's victory was due to 60% luck and 40% thanks to his opponent Zhu Yunwen."

Zhu Shangbing fell into deep thought after hearing this. Li Er and Zhu Di were indeed the most appropriate comparison.

Both of them were emperors and had great military exploits.

Li Er conquered half of Li Tang's country, and Zhu Di naturally went without saying.

But when it comes to ascending to the throne, the two are similar but very different. The former changed the Xuanwu Gate by killing his brother to seize the throne, but this was a change and not a conspiracy to usurp the throne, while the latter actually ousted his nephew from the throne.

From this point on, the two are different. In the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di only occupied three counties in four years and only captured Nanjing. Compared with Li Er's achievements, it is really not worth mentioning.

The corners of Zhu Shangbing's mouth twitched. When he thought about it carefully, he seemed to understand why several big guys in his mind instigated him to rebel. With these plug-ins, it seemed really easy to defeat them.

Suddenly there was a voice in his head, it was Li Cunxiao, and he started teasing Li Er.

"If Zhu Yunwen were Li Jiancheng, Li Er would laugh out of his dreams."

After saying this, he didn't forget to add an unkind smile. Even Li Er couldn't help laughing when he heard this and laughed with the others.

Zhu Shangbing had a slight smile on his face and picked up his tea cup to cover it up. He originally wanted to continue playing chess, but those few people were determined to chat with him several times and ask.

After getting no results, they planned to give up.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shangbing suddenly took the initiative to speak. He couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Li Er.

"Your Majesty, if it were you, how would you deal with Zhu Di? Or resolve the Jingnan War?"

Before the person talking could reply, Chen Qingzhi and Zhang Liang started laughing.

"Li Er, please don't lie. You have so many generals under your command, unlike Zhu Yunwen."

"What Qingzhi said is absolutely true. Zhu Yunwen's position must be the main one."

Two sentences in succession made Li Er, who wanted to talk eloquently, stop talking.

Even though Zhu Shangbing couldn't see his face, he could still imagine his helpless expression as he tried to hit but couldn't, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Er was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
