"You kid is ridiculous!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he cursed the third child.
"We have been leading troops in wars for so many years, and military laws have always been strict. Even King Kaiping ate our military sticks back then. Only this cook, Xu Xingzu, has been cooking for us for 23 years, and we have never beaten or scolded him! You know why?
?"
"Father is afraid that he will have a grudge and poison his food." The third child said in a dull voice.
"How dare you beat him even if you know this?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"My son, I think this little thing is no big deal." Lao San whispered.
"A small thing? Haven't you heard that 'it's not the big thing that makes you fearful, but the person you fear'?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "What's even more stupid is that after you beat him, you actually asked him to cook for you. So careless.
, do you think you have a long life?"
"Yes, I know I was wrong. I have already followed my father's wishes and given him money to send him home for retirement." Lao San said sarcastically.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the concubines and princes who were watching the excitement: "Don't think that the matter has nothing to do with you, you must also learn a lesson!"
Everyone hurriedly agreed and said they would be nicer to the cook.
"Not only the cooks, but also don't abuse the palace people around you on weekdays. If you think anyone may be resentful, don't hesitate and send him out of the palace as soon as possible." Zhu Yuanzhang gave another serious instruction.
In the past, Lao Liu would have thought that the older the old thief got, the less courageous he became. But he no longer thinks so. The experience in Jiangxi made him deeply understand how offensive what his father and son did was, which the Ming Dynasty must have
There are countless people hoping that his father and son will die suddenly.
~~
He only trained the third child on one thing, but Boss Zhu was still a little unsatisfied, so he turned his attention to the second child.
"And you idiot, what kind of fun do you have?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Your crimes are much greater than the third child! He will only lose his virginity at most, but you will perish the country!"
"Oh..." The second child was depressed. It was obviously the fourth child who was laughing at the third child behind his back, and he was just amused. But he didn't dare to explain, so he could only obediently walk to the place where the third child was kneeling just now, and knelt down to listen to the lecture.
.
"Before you came to the vassal, we gave you thousands of warnings and instructions. The people in the pass have been in great distress since the Yuan clan lost power! Although the world is now peaceful, and there is the labor of transporting people to the border, the people have never had a rest, and their strength has been exhausted.
If you become the vassal queen, if the palace is finished, all non-urgent matters will be cancelled." Zhu Yuanzhang then heard angrily rebuke:
"It's better for you. You promised well in person, but forgot all about it as soon as you arrived in Xi'an! Even though the palace has been completed, you continue to carry out construction projects. You need to build a big bell tower, and move the pavilion in the Nine Dragon Pond to the palace. And put it there.
Instead of living in the prince's palace, you live on the tower of Xi'an City. You are ignorant of human affairs and as stupid as an animal!"
The royal family members in the main hall were all shocked. They did not expect that the emperor would use such serious words to describe King Qin.
King Qin also looked aggrieved, feeling that he had done nothing but wanted to remodel the palace according to his own wishes.
"Don't feel aggrieved." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "On the surface, these things are not big, but if you were taken advantage of by someone with intentions during the Han and Tang Dynasties, not only would you not be able to keep your title, you might not even be able to keep your head!
"
"You should be lucky that your father is in power now. He will rebuke you and punish you, but he will not be suspicious of you, because we know you are a fool!" After all, it was the New Year, so Zhu Yuanzhang still kept it. He sighed and said seriously:
"But if you still behave like this after we die, your elder brother Zhu Biao will punish you when the time comes. You have no reason to blame your brother. This is entirely your own fault!"
"Father, I believe that Zhu Xi will be able to correct himself with humility and become a virtuous king who loves his people like a son." The prince quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I will always urge him to reflect on himself, and he will never reach that point.
"
"Huh, you idiot, you are so lucky to have such a good big brother." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression brightened a little, and he let the second brother go and said, "Reflect on it carefully. If you do it again, you will be punished even more severely!"
"Yes, it's Father." The second child responded dejectedly.
~~
Zhu Yuanzhang also used the matter of his second and third sons to warn the princes who had not yet conferred vassal status, making all his sons obedient and afraid to breathe.
The banquet ended hastily. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lao Si and Lao Liu to follow him and the prince back to Qianqing Palace.
Although the two brothers have already written a report on the Jiangxi incident, they still can learn more by listening to the report in person.
Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen talked to each other and told their father and eldest brother the story of clearing their father's land, compiling a yellow book, and listing the people in Jiangxi.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully and interrupted the two of them from time to time to ask this and that...
"Do you think it's time to promote pornography nationwide?" This is the question that Boss Zhu wants to know most.
"Let Lao Liu answer this question." Zhu Di said matter-of-factly: "Lao Liu is responsible for arranging the specific matters, and my son is mainly responsible for escorting him."
"Fourth brother is too humble. Everything is decided through discussion between the two of us." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "It's just a different division of labor."
"You don't need to put gold on the fourth man's face. He is a general who can make great efforts. This kind of delicate embroidery and needlework is not his specialty." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Let you say it."
"Yes, Father." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to nod his head, sort out his thoughts and said:
"My son feels that it is not yet mature enough. This time when implementing the New Deal in Jiangxi, the difficulties encountered are beyond imagination. Without the strong support of my father and eldest brother, and without the early efforts and sacrifices of my senior brother Liu Lian, there would be no killings.
, without the large-scale immigration from Jiangxi to Huguang, it would never have been completed so quickly."
"But each province has its own situation. For example, the largest landowner in Jiangxi is Zhengyiyi, and Yintian Yinhu and they account for half of it. As long as Zhengyiyi is suppressed, other landlords will not be able to make any waves." Zhu Zhen continued:
"And when we started with "Regardless of the Accounts", we happened to catch the big clues of Zhengyiyi, and they had to bow their heads. In other provinces, even Yanshenggong's Mansion in Shandong would not be as big as Zhengyiyi
, the effect will naturally not be so good."
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a very solemn expression. Some things are indispensable, such as large-scale immigration. Some provinces are still short of people. It is impossible for every province to do this.
It is impossible for the two brothers to go to every province, so the fourth and sixth brothers will not have to do anything else in their lives.
If other sons were replaced, such as the second or seventh son, they might be able to force the people to rebel. The fifth and eighth princes, who are not strong enough, might not be able to control the monsters in the provinces.
"So we still have to find solutions to the main difficulties that can be generalized." Then Zhu Zhen said again: "Let the provinces implement the New Deal more easily."
"Then what do you think are the main difficulties and how to solve them?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
