Zhu Bai calmly handed over his hand and said: "Father, the harem has a lot of people. Your Highness the Prince now has many wives and concubines. If you don't send someone to record it, it will be a mess."
He certainly couldn't directly say that Mrs. Lu would give birth to a son who would turn him into a roasted chicken. He could only make it up.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Bai: I really admire your ability to talk nonsense seriously.
Liu Bowen applauded in his heart: Tsk, tsk, tsk, three kills.
This guy really knows how to control people's hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious and particularly concerned about blood relationships.
Didn't Zhu Biao's words speak to his heart?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, he understood what Zhu Bai meant.
At that time, he was fighting everywhere, and his life was precarious, so he had to leave seeds everywhere and leave a token to serve as proof of his success in the future.
Later, when he became rich, women came to him with tokens, and he had so many children.
Now that I think about it, there is actually a big loophole in this matter.
The token can only show that they had a night of fun, and it is hard to say whether the child in the belly is his.
Even after he became emperor, there were still women in the harem who would cuckold him.
The other princes were fine. He and Zhu Biao's descendants were related to the purity of the heir's blood.
It should be recorded.
When the time comes when the concubines are pregnant, we will know if the time is right.
Zhu Bai added: "The ancient sages said that a gentleman should not indulge in female sex. The prince is weak. If he sings every night until dawn, it will be more harmful to his body. Someone needs to record and remind him that moderation is the best."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time before saying: "What Lao Twelve said is right."
Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock: No way, no way. This little brat Zhu Bai is talking nonsense, but as a mature and sound adult, you actually believe it and still want to adopt it?
Zhu Bai said with a smile: "I am not talented, but I am willing to take on this important task."
Haha, when the time comes, as long as Zhu Biao meets the Lu family, I will say it is not suitable!!
If Zhu Biao wants to be lucky to someone else, go wherever you want!
I don’t believe that Lu Lian’er can still be pregnant like this!!
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You little brat, let the eunuchs take care of whatever you get involved in."
You think so, am I so easy to deceive? I will give you a chance to cause trouble?!
Zhu Bai pursed his lips: Tsk, all the hard work was in vain.
Song Lian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed and his white beard trembled: "Prince Xiang deserves to be a prince. Although he is naughty, he cares about his family, country and the world. He is indeed a good candidate to assist the prince."
Liu Bowen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The prince and King Xiang are both as wise and wise as the emperor. It is really a blessing for the people in the world."
When all the ministers saw it, they thought that this flattery must be slapped!
"Wow!" They all knelt down.
"Hail, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy by the rainbow fart that he laughed and waved his hand: "Hahaha, all my dear friends, please get up."
Then Lan Yu, who had knelt down just now, also stood up together with everyone, and secretly handed over to Liu Bowen: Thank you, good brother, for saving me.
Liu Bowen nodded slightly: "No thanks, I won't let Lao Zhu step down. Everyone will suffer bad consequences."

After the court was over, Zhu Bai wanted to follow the ministers, but was stopped by Erhu and brought to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head at Zhu Bai: "Why are you running away? I won't eat you."
Zhu Bai sneered: "My father and elder brother are busy with state affairs, and I don't want to waste your time."
The nonsense he made up just now was just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse to remind Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu will definitely still want to beat him.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You have too much energy anyway. From today on, you will go back to the imperial study to read the memorial. Ah, by the way, you will come to listen to it in the morning."
Zhu Bai grimaced: "Father, I can't get up. Besides, I have to go to the main hall to attend lectures."
In fact, he could get up, but it was too boring to listen to the quarrel between the lecturers, so he might as well attend the lecture in the main hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "Come, I must come, just stand next to your elder brother. This will save you the trouble of messing around whenever you have the energy."
-----
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the imperial study and sent Li Shanchang over.
As soon as Li Shanchang came in, he knelt down in tears and said, "I deserve to die. I shouldn't speak nonsense, but I have no intention of slandering Mr. Liu."
Zhu Bai looked at him silently with his hands folded.
This guy is not as smart as Liu Bowen.
If he hadn't been a veteran of Huaixi, he would have been kicked aside by Lao Zhu.
I didn't mention him by name in the court, but it was so easy to trick him out.
Lao Zhu originally just doubted him, but now he is convinced.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. He stood up, helped Li Shanchang up, patted him on the shoulder, and said gently: "Li Aiqing is honest and outspoken, how can I blame you? I need you to remind me more in the future."
Li Shanchang cried more and more till he had runny nose and tears. He thanked her again and again and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Li Shanchang to leave, pointed to the direction in which he left, and said to Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao: "See, this is a traitor."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: Hey, it turns out that Old Zhu knew that Li Shanchang was a traitor.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled mysteriously: "There can't be only loyal ministers in the court. Although Li Shan is not very capable, he thinks about how to harm his colleagues all day long. He is really a villain. But he is loyal to me, which is enough. In the court
It still has a big effect.”
For example, it is used to contain people like Liu Bowen who are extremely capable but inexperienced.
Both Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao suddenly realized.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said: "As long as you keep all the power of soldiers, food, money, and officials in your own hands, especially military power, no matter how treacherous officials are, they are just clowns and tools of imperial power. In the final analysis, all civil and military officials are all
Tools, don’t take character so seriously.”
Just now, Zhu Bai knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger in the court, which made Zhu Yuanzhang see Zhu Bai's disgust for Li Shanchang.
He was actually a little surprised. After all, Zhu Bai was so young, how could he tell the difference between a traitor and a traitor.
Liu Bowen and Song Lian were both cautious people, and they would never judge other ministers in front of the prince.
So after much deliberation, it was probably Zhu Biao who revealed it to Zhu Bai unintentionally.
So he wanted to appease them.
Young people are full of passion. No matter whether traitors threaten their own interests or not, they always want to uphold justice and eliminate evil.
He also had such times.
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "I know that Liu Bowen is very powerful, very upright, and very incorruptible. It is because he is extremely capable, so upright and incorruptible, and has such a good reputation among the people that I dare not rely on him, but want to suppress him. Think about it.
Look, if he brings all the ministers together, we won't have the final say. Now that we can see them fighting, we can worry a lot. This is the balance of power. According to Liu Bowen, it is called the coordination of yin and yang. Liu Bowen is the yang side, and Li Shanchang is the yin side.
."
Zhu Bai secretly sighed: Sure enough, ginger is very spicy.
With this set of dark emperor skills, it's no wonder that so many fierce men are willing to bow to him.
