The dragon has reverse scales, anyone who touches them will be killed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's reverse scale is the 'death of Xiao Ming Wang', which is a stain that he cannot erase.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not really obey King Xiao Ming for a day, he attracted the main force of the Yuan Dynasty to Zhu Yuanzhang for more than ten years, allowing it to develop and grow. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been a minister of King Xiao Ming in name, so there is no doubt about it.
As a result, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the melon and the boat sank, and King Xiao Ming gave up...
This is called yellow mud falling into the crotch, which is either shit or feces. Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang’s instruction or not, he had nothing to do with the death of Prince Xiao Ming.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China, claiming that he had "unrivaled his right to the throne through the ages."
But the existence of this stain made his journey to the top no longer perfect. He felt so regretful that he couldn't sleep when he thought about it in the middle of the night. He would get short of breath when he was bragging, and he would have forked branches when he helped plants grow...
So it was too late for him to cover it up. The person involved actually dared to talk nonsense. How could Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already violent, use patience instead of haste and not explode?
"Let me say it again, it was not our intention to kill Xiao Ming Wang. It was Yang Xian who miscalculated my intention and instigated Liao Yongzhong to do it!" Zhu Yuanzhang defended himself uncharacteristically:
"Yang Xian's true face has been revealed to the public, how can Xiao Liao still believe that he is evil?"
"Because Yang Xian told Marquis Deqing that he was just a mouthpiece for Mr. Liu..." Hu Weiyong replied slowly.
Zhu Yuanzhang froze immediately.
~~
Wuying Palace.
Hu Weiyong had retired for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still sitting stiffly on the dragon chair, lost in thought.
"Microphone, megaphone, what a megaphone, what a great Mr. Liu..."
"Father, you can't just listen to Hu Xiang's words." After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's soliloquy, the prince hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Mr. Liu is upright and will not act so wantonly."
"Biao'er, you underestimated Liu Bowen." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. "This 'my son' is actually more arrogant than Han Xin, and more ruthless than Chen Ping back then."
"My son really doesn't know this."
"He comes from a well-known family. He is the first of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River and a Jinshi in the former Yuan Dynasty. Oh, by the way, Li Shanchang also participated in that imperial examination, but he failed." Recalling the past, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice gradually became calmer.
"Oh, so your Uncle Li has always been a little inferior in front of him. Although he has always been polite to Old Li, he actually looks down on Mr. Han."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at himself and said: "Actually, deep down, he doesn't even pay attention to us. What does he think is so great about you, Zhu Chongba? Aren't you just a mud-legged guy who let go of cattle and became a monk to earn a living?"
?Besides fighting and killing, what do you know?"
"That's why we invited him several times but he refused to come out. Later we got impatient and asked someone to give him a big sword, and then he came to Yingtian honestly."
"Mr. Liu served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty. It was a very difficult decision for him to join the rebel army." Zhu Biao carefully spoke for Liu Ji: "But after he entered the court, he made suggestions for his father, worked hard, and was honest and self-responsible as an official.
You are upright and worthy of your father’s visit to the thatched cottage three times.”
"But he has never convinced us like others!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice and said sadly: "His heart has never been given to us."
"Not to mention the brat Xiao Ming Wang. In the eighth year of the Dragon and Phoenix years, Wang Baobao went south to Yidu and defeated Liu Futong. In the next year, Zhang Shicheng took advantage of the situation and surrounded Anfeng, where Xiao Ming Wang was. The siege lasted for a long time, and the people in the city ate each other.
So he sent someone to ask for help."
"Liu Bowen firmly opposed it, saying that we are already weaker than Chen Youliang. If we divide our troops for rescue, we will create enemies on both sides, and Chen Youliang will definitely take the opportunity to attack." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again:
"Moreover, if Prince Xiao Ming is rescued, where will he be paid?" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he rubbed his face with his hands and sighed: "At that time, we felt that we were different men and could not imitate Marshal Peng, Sun Deya and the others.
I didn’t listen to him, and I almost lost everything.”
Zhu Biao couldn't help but nodded slightly. He was nine years old that year, and he still vividly remembers that thrilling time.
He remembered that after his father personally sent troops to reinforce Anfeng, Chen Youliang heard the news and came in full force.
If his cousin Zhu Wenzheng had not created a miracle in Hongdu, holding off Chen Youliang's 600,000 Han army for eighty-five days with 20,000 troops, which bought precious time for the army to return to the main line, Yingtian City would have been lost, and the Ming Dynasty would have lost it.
It won't show up anymore.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to recall the Battle of Hongdu, but wanted to talk about Liu Bowen. He said solemnly:
"After rescuing King Xiao Ming, we originally planned to place him in Yingtian. Many civil and military officials also suggested setting up a throne in Zhongshu Province to worship him. But Mr. Liu was furious and firmly opposed, saying, 'He is just a kid herding sheep.
There is no point in worshiping him!"
"We asked him privately why he was so angry, and he let us know for the first time what is meant by 'what the people want, destiny follows', and what is meant by 'there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country'. Alas, let us know our own
What a childish idea."
"So we placed King Xiao Ming in Chuzhou, built a palace for him to live in, replaced all the eunuch guards around him with our own people, and raised him like a sparrow..."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for the third time and said: "Mr. Liu's attitude towards Prince Xiao Ming has always been this way, and when he disagrees with us, it is often proved that he is right..."
Zhu Biao was shocked. This was the first time his father told him these things.
Even after hearing these old stories, I felt that Liu Bowen had the motive, courage, and conditions to instigate Liao Yongzhong to kill Prince Xiao Ming.
He also noticed that his father had unknowingly called Liu Bowen back to 'Mr. Liu'...
~~
It was dusk at this time, and the setting sun was like blood, reflecting the Wuying Palace in red.
"Biao'er." After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked nervously: "Do you also think that we ordered the death of Prince Xiao Ming?"
"I have never thought of it this way." Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his beloved eldest son.
"Because my son believes in his father, and his father has never lied to his son." Zhu Biao gave a perfect answer: "If my father says no, then it means no."
"Hahaha, you kid has learned to be cunning too!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly when he heard this, and the depression in his chest also subsided a lot.
"That's right, we didn't!" He stood up, stepped off the throne, walked out of the shadow of dusk, and stood on a high platform with three sides of the building, his hands behind his back. Gu Pan Zixiong said loudly:
"We have already had the charter, and have asked Song Lian to prepare for the ceremony of abdication, abdication, and enthronement, and prepare to accept the abdication and proclaim the emperor in a dignified and gracious manner."
"Otherwise, why would we ask Xiao Liao to pick him up? Letting him die of illness in Chuzhou is not a hundred times more dignified than a melon that sinks into a boat?"
"That's the truth." Zhu Biao nodded and sighed: "I don't know what those people think? How is this asking for credit? This is trapping the king and father into injustice!"
"Haha, Biao'er, your baby is still too young." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled contemptuously and touched his black mustache. "How are they asking for credit? They are taking this big shot, all for themselves!"
"they are?"
"We have already written it on the iron coupon for Xiao Liao."
"Confucian scholar?" Zhu Biao said these two words, and he suddenly became clear, and three words burst out in his heart:
