Zhu Huan died after all, and died in the scolding of the people.

Zhu Liujiu also tried to come to the robbery field, but as soon as the person arrived, he was stopped by the guards beheaded. The moment he saw Zhu Huan beheaded, Zhu Liujiu fainted immediately. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his brother, who had been young and had been ruined by him, he couldn't bear to watch it.

When the execution of the court was over, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the post station.

Zhu Qi certainly had no interest in the bloody things like beheading and Lingchi, so he followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to the post station.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come out of the room, and Zhu Qi didn't bother him. He was wondering when he would go back to Yingtian Mansion. That night, Zhu Yuanzhang called himself into the house.

As soon as Zhu Qi entered, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the master's chair with no expression on his face and being powerful without anger. Zhu Qi's heart trembled, and then he heard Zhu Yuanzhang raise his hand and say:

"Come here."

Zhu Qi walked over and bowed, then saw Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"I thought about it all over and over. Zheng Shiyuan's straightforward guy couldn't think of this trick. Only you bastard can use this method to persuade me."

Zhu Qi knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must have known everything. Thinking about it, he was the case. He was the Emperor Hongwu who had won the Central Plains in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty and unified the world. He had never seen any conspiracies and tricks. Even if he didn't see it at that time, he analyzed it himself afterwards. In addition, there might be some secret whistle information, if he didn't know, there would be ghosts.

The more he was about to get beaten, the clearer he was of the mind and said:

"Dad, you once said that since you have to give up your family for the sake of the world, you can only give up your family. Even if you kill Zhu Huan, you are sorry for the emperor Zhu, but you are worthy of the people of the world, the Ming Dynasty, and even more worthy of our Zhu family!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly after hearing this and said:

"I can guess the reason if you do this. Do you think that Zheng Shiyuan is honest and afraid that he will anger me, so I will kill him?"

Zhu Qi didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang even guessed this, and smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything, which was a pity.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"Zheng Shiyuan is a polite and honest official, and has the character of Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. If he is by his side, he will be like a mirror and can always reflect on himself. Since you are already in power, you will be the one who will become the king of sai in the future. There must be someone around you who can always remind you of your duties. From today on, Zheng Shiyuan will stay by your side as a chief official, and you will learn more about the principles of saints from him in the future."

"ah?"

This Liao King's Chief Officer is equivalent to his mentor's position. Zhu Qi was stunned when he heard this. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Qi's expression, his beard blew and glared:

"Tang Taizong said that Wei Zheng was very charming. Zheng Shiyuan's charm is not inferior to Wei Zheng. I will leave this person to you. Why, aren't you happy?"

In history, Emperor Taizong of Tang evaluated Wei Zheng as charming, not because he was a sissy person, but because he had such a good mood as Wei Zheng, who dared to speak, and said so because he was in a very good mood. Zhu Yuanzhang compared Zheng Shiyuan to Wei Zheng. It is conceivable that Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Zheng Shiyuan was also extremely high.

Unfortunately, Zheng Shiyuan in history did not sit at a very high position like Wei Zheng, but both in the officialdom and the people, his historical evaluation of Zheng Shiyuan was very high.

But for Zhu Qi, helping famous officials is one thing, but putting such a famous official like Wei Zheng next to him is another matter!

Zheng Shiyuan had thought about telling Zhu Yuanzhang that if you don’t kill Zhu Huan, it would be better to add a law from now on. The crimes of the royal relatives who violated the law can be reduced.

What a guy, who dares to say such things to Zhu Yuanzhang these days? Liu Bowen's straightforward temperament has to speak in a corner, right?

When Zhu Qi thought of Zheng Shiyuan, a stubborn guy, wanted to stay by his side as a chief official, he felt a little hurt. He wouldn't be scolded to death by his slutty every day?

Zhu Qi hurriedly bowed and said:

"Dad, I think Zheng Shiyuan has great talent. There are not many people in the court who dare to speak out and accept advice in a blunt manner. Zheng Shiyuan should be put in the East Palace and assisted the elder brother. It is really a waste of talent to put it here."

Zhu Qi made a good statement, but Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said:

"Your elder brother has many capable ministers around him, and he has a soft ear and many people speak, so he is prone to lose his opinion. This matter has been settled. You should go back early to rest. We will set off tomorrow and return to Yingtian Mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang has said this, what else can he say? He can only quit respectfully.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qi and Zhu Yuanzhang set off with him to Yingtian Mansion. As for the situation of the old emperor Zhu Liujiu, Zhu Qi did not go and take care of it too much. Anyway, it would not be better.

The emperor and the prince were naturally following along the way. When the people saw this situation, they knew that the Liao King and the emperor were going back. They all ran out and shared the farewells on both sides of the street, saying long live the mountain.

Zhu Qi sat in the carriage, looking at the people outside, feeling deeply moved, thinking that it would be great if there were no corrupt officials in the world, but in fact, how could such a simple thing be?

—————

It only took Zhu Qi to return to Yingtian Prefecture with Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as he came back, he heard good news that the first child of Prince Zhu Biao was born. Zhu Qi followed Zhu Di to see the baby who had just been born one day.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy and personally picked up the pen and named it - Zhu Xiongying.

As for why Zhu Xiongying's name is not accompanied by the word "Huo", it is because "The Emperor Ming Zu Xun" has not been compiled at this time, so of course there is no requirement for radicals.

However, looking at the cute little baby, Zhu Qi looked cute, but he was also worried. In history, Zhu Xiongying died only at the age of eight. Queen Ma was also unable to afford to get sick because of this, and died soon after.

Zhu Qi naturally doesn't like the human tragedy that happened in his own home, but the official history of Zhu Xiongying's death actually does not record any detailed records, only saying that he died of illness.

Zhu Qi is not a doctor. Even if he wants to help Zhu Xiongying take a look, he is powerless and can only think about it. When he grows up a little, he will teach him the health knowledge he knows. I hope he can ensure his health and drink more hot water.

After all, it's my nephew.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao is naturally the happiest one, and he has another new identity, that is, his father.

But while he was happy, he did not forget to ask Zhu Qi about Dingyuan. After all, after Zhu Yuanzhang went to Dingyuan, Zhu Biao knew that the situation was exposed. However, the prince and the actual power of governing the country were in charge. Even if he wanted to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to Dingyuan County, there was no way.

Hearing Zhu Qi finished his whole story, Zhu Biao also lamented and commented, "If I had known this, why would I have been the first one?"

Zhu Biao and Zhu Huan obviously have brotherly feelings. Zhu Huan may have been a naive boy, but in the end he was corrupted by the desire for power. This made Zhu Qi a little alert. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he must not make such a mistake as Zhu Huan.

In the last ten days of the seventh year of Hongwu, the imperial city of Yingtian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty quietly passed by the joy of Zhu Xiongying's birth.

Soon, it was New Year's Eve...
