Chapter 8: Companion to a king is like a tiger
Looking up, he saw a hair in the dish in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. The eunuch who served the meal was so frightened that he knelt down and knelt down to beg for mercy, his body shaking like chaff.
The former looked towards the seat with dissatisfaction. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, upon closer inspection, I found that the scornful servants deliberately placed the dishes far away, which was completely different from the previous meal with the two grandsons of the late prince's family.
Although he had a disagreement with the King of Qin and did not like the child born from the Deng family, this was a family matter, not to mention that he and his second son had settled their differences, so these snobs dared to neglect their master in front of him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, with sharp eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Drag him out and behead him."
Following the order, the guards came and dragged the eunuchs down.
Looking at the eunuch passing by him, the screams were getting farther and farther away, but his heart sank to the bottom, and cold sweat broke out on Zhu Shangbing's forehead.
I don’t understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant by this move. Could it be a warning?
He was a little confused about this Hongwu Emperor.
After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath and pretended to be fine, stepped into the palace, and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.
"Meet Grandpa Huang."
One word Gou.
In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang went out of his way to kill many generals for Jianwen. If he didn't like him and was thrown to the border, wouldn't it be the end of the world?
Act stupid first, don't get caught in the pigtails.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked at the child, who was only twelve years old. His immature face coincided with that of the dashing major general in the system simulation who was fighting with blood.
The facial features and eyes were very similar, and he completely believed that the kind-hearted smiling person in front of him was the one.
only……
Le Shi Yanran, seal the wolf to live in Xu.
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty will also produce a champion?
"Sit down. You don't need to be polite when dining with us. Eat what you like and don't waste it."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with a smile, without expressing too many thoughts, and just asked him to sit down.
I silently made some calculations in my mind.
Looking at the food in the bowl, Zhu Shangbing frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with the cheap grandfather's eyes. He was suddenly startled and broke out in cold sweat on his back.
The late Emperor's business failed half way through, so he wouldn't have given up here!
Before he could figure out how to break the situation, a voice came from next to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with a smile and started talking inexplicably.
"Shang Bing, did the second brother tell you about the situation in the north?"
These words were like thunder striking in his mind. Zhu Shangbing was immediately speechless and didn't know what to say. His grandfather wouldn't really be tempted to kill him and test him here, right?
The death of King Qin had nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang.
From time to time, the voices of several big bosses communicating could be heard in his mind, and he closed his eyes and pondered for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing the silence in the hall, the person sitting above noticed something strange and spoke again to add.
"Just treat this as a casual chat during the meal, don't worry about it too much."
Hearing this, Zhu Shangbing glanced suspiciously and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at him, waiting for a response, and he could only sigh in his heart.
You can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade.
I had to bite the bullet and say something.
"My father once said a few things, but my grandson is still young and doesn't quite understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously and started talking about the recent injustices in those places.
When Zhu Shangbing heard him talk about the disrespect of Goryeo and Japan, Zhu Shangbing frowned slightly.
In the early Ming Dynasty, these guys naturally did not dare to make big moves, but he who was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty knew clearly that these two guys were not simple, especially the Japanese. The Japanese pirates on the water had always been a headache for the Ming Dynasty, and their level was no less than that of Mongolia.
.
Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, came from the Ming Dynasty.
Coupled with the actions of Sakura Kingdom and Cosmos Kingdom in later generations, he couldn't help but hum, forgetting to hide his clumsiness.
"In this tiny place, you commit disrespect and despise the power of God, and you don't know whether to live or die."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod, and his eyes fell on Zhu Shangbing again. This statement was a bit as heroic as a general's.
only……
He looked at Zhu Shangbing with a smile, and took advantage of what he just said to speak.
"Then what does Shang Bing think we should do?"
Finished.
Zhu Shangbing realized that there were only these two words in his mind, but fortunately he could still wrap his head around it.
Thinking of this, he raised his head with anger on his face and said indignantly.
"Grandpa Huang, if you want your grandson to say it, why don't you just kill it?"
Those eyes were full of expectation, staring straight at the person above.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the vegetables shook and the meat fell back again. He couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that it was a little too hasty. How old is this boy from the second family? How could he know these things?
When he met those eyes, he couldn't scold him for his casual fighting, so he could only pretend to be serious.
"You are still young and you cannot control the depth of the water here. It is not the time yet."
After hearing this, Zhu Shangbing felt relieved.
When talking about national affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang could not stop talking eloquently, and unknowingly he talked about the north again.
When he mentioned this, his face was full of pride, and his beard almost reached the sky. He was not like the Hongwu Emperor written in history textbooks, but looked like an ordinary grandfather.
"We deployed hundreds of guards from Liaodong to the northwest, and divided the kings into vassal territories. After the Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu tribes surrendered, they formed a line of defense to contain Mongolia."
"These three lines of defense can help our Ming Dynasty suppress Northern Xinjiang and scare those barbarians away from them."
After saying that, he stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Shangbing with his peripheral vision, waiting to be praised.
The latter was also very cooperative in showing an expression of admiration, and he indeed admired Zhu Yuanzhang's three lines of defense.
The first line of defense consists of hundreds of guards, which makes it impregnable.
The vassal kings' garrison has two advantages: it is convenient to administer, and they are all members of the Lao Zhu family. There is no such thing as betrayal when foreign enemies invade.
He can also find work for his idle son, killing three birds with one stone.
As for the third way, compared with the former, it seems to be dispensable. Perhaps even Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not take it to heart. Those who are not without tribe must have different intentions. It would be good if they do not surrender to the enemy in a fight.
"With Grandpa Huang's three lines of defense here, Mongolia can only crawl on the ground."
This sentence was obviously very useful, and Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud.
Little did he know that Zhu Shangbing's words had other meanings. With several lines of defense down, it was not an exaggeration to say that Yingtian Mansion was an iron-clad capital, but these were of no use in Yongle.
After Yongle kicked Jianwen down from the throne, he changed Shuntianfu into the capital. The defense lines he set up were just like decorations, giving the Manchus an opportunity to take advantage of. He was brave and good at fighting, so he was not afraid.
But the King of the Hereafter...
For example, the Ming God of War went to Oara to become an overseas student.
In Zhu Shangbing's eyes, this was no different from Jingkang's shame.
The foundation built by our ancestors for generations was ruined by him.
He sighed in his heart, if the Nine Kings fortress and the garrison were still there, and the Ming God of War was strangled in his infancy, he might be able to prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty for another three hundred years.
After chatting with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, the food on the table became cold at some point.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. It took too much effort to talk to the person above. Seeing that it was almost time, he quickly stood up, saluted and said goodbye, leaving this "dragon's pond and tiger's den".
