Cold sweat trickled down the back of Mao Xiang's neck, soaking his Flying Fish Robe!
It was because the things they heard this time were even more frightening than what Crown Prince Zhu Biao had heard last time!
When Zhu Biao came, Su Yang was just trying to scare him, saying that the Great Ming Dynasty was going to perish and playing a game with Zhu Biao that he was the emperor.
These things could also be said that Su Yang's mind was not mature. He spoke without thinking and was playing a child's game.
But today was different!
He actually directly analyzed the process of Zhu Yuanzhang becoming the emperor!
Was this something an ordinary person could casually say?
Zhu Yuanzhang was famous for his narrow-mindedness. Especially after he became the emperor, he was also very suspicious.
What was he trying to do by analyzing his family history?
Do you want to replicate it and become an emperor?
As long as this thing was on the line, it would not be unjust to accuse him of plotting rebellion.
Since ancient times, when the emperor faced the imperial power, even his own son would be suspicious, not to mention that Su Yang was only his son-in-law.
Mao Xiang lowered his head and turned himself into a quail.
He prayed that Zhu Yuanzhang would not fly into a rage. Otherwise, the bloodshed would not stop!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, his heart was in turmoil!
After withdrawing the Jinyiwei who reported Zhu Taner's whereabouts every day, Zhu Yuanzhang felt empty in his heart.
Perhaps it was because she was getting older, but she often thought of Zhu Tan 'er's pitifulness.
Therefore, after the Crown Prince left the capital today, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but come to the small courtyard to see Zhu Taner.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very familiar with this courtyard. He had carefully chosen it back then.
However, Zhu Tan 'er had never stepped into the courtyard even once since she was sixteen!
Every time he came, he would glance at Zhu Tan 'er from afar, afraid that the father-daughter meeting would worsen Zhu Tan' er's condition.
However, ever since Zhu Tan 'er entered the palace the last time, her body had not shown any abnormalities after she returned.
Zhu Yuanzhang was tempted and wanted to find time to come to the small courtyard to accompany Zhu Taner for a meal!
Last night, Zhu Biao had reported Su Yang's idea to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Old Zhu clicked his tongue in wonder!
He had never thought that the means of doing business would be so complicated!
After Zhu Biao analyzed them one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang could understand how Su Yang operated.
However, if he had to think about it himself, he would not be able to think of such a method!
It wasn't that Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't smart enough, but that he lacked examples and professional theoretical knowledge.
Perhaps more importantly, if Zhu Yuanzhang was the one to deal with the matter of the nobles seizing land.
He wouldn't have gone through so much trouble!
Old Zhu was now the emperor. If he was not satisfied with some people, he could just kill them!
So what if you're a noble? The nobility was also conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Today, you could be a noble, and tomorrow, you could be a prisoner. Everything depended on the emperor's wishes.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not object to Su Yang's suggestion.
This was because he had dealt with Huaixi's nobles without bloodshed, and in the end, he had to make them suffer unspeakably and look for him, the emperor, to uphold justice.
Zhu Yuanzhang had never used such a black-bellied method before. He felt that it was very fresh!
At the same time, she was also very curious. Would things really develop as Su Yang said?
How could he be sure that the nobles would slip into the cage he had woven without any doubt?
After Zhu Biao finished his report, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't figure it out.
Only then did he come to the small courtyard with doubts and longing for Zhu Tan 'er.
Who knew that before he entered the door, he would be scolded by Su Yang again!
This strike caught Old Zhu off guard!
Not only was he stripped naked, but his good son-in-law also said that if he was given another chance, he might not be able to become the emperor!？
This was simply…simply too "filial"!
……
Mao Xiang didn't dare to move and kept glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang from the corner of his eyes.
Suddenly, she heard Old Zhu's cold voice.
"Mao Xiang, do you think what Su Yang said makes sense?”
"If the world is in chaos again, can we still be the emperor?”
Mao Xiang's head exploded with a buzz!
How was he supposed to answer such a question?
If he said he could, then it would be perfunctory. Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely make him explain why.
However, Mao Xiang felt that he did not have Su Yang's eloquence. It would be too difficult for him to say anything.
If he said he couldn't, then he had lived enough!
Zhu Yuanzhang was still waiting for Mao Xiang's answer, but Mao Xiang's entire body started to turn cold.
Until a voice came to his rescue.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Commander cannot answer this question. In fact, no one can answer it except Your Majesty.”
When Mao Xiang heard these words, it was as if he had heard the sound of nature. He turned around and realized that it was a Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
It seemed to be called…Jiang Meng?
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't angry when he heard that. Instead, he was interested.
"Oh, then tell me, why is it that no one can answer except us?”
Jiang Qiong couldn't help but tremble. This was the first time he had come into close contact with Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, he also understood that there was only one chance. Whether he could seize it or not depended on himself!
"Replying to Your Majesty, I just feel that I can't answer because I'm not qualified.”
"If Lord Commander can answer this question, then wouldn't he be on the same level as the Emperor?”
"Great Ming is the Great Ming of the Emperor. Only the Emperor is the one who truly ended the chaotic world.”
"So no matter what others say, it's all just a hypothesis. It's far from being as great as the emperor's true ability!”
One had to admit that Jiang Meng's flattery skills were very good.
These words made Mao Xiang's heart sink, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face also lit up with a smile.
He glanced at Jiang Meng and found that this centurion was very young.
"It's not easy to have such knowledge at such a young age. It's a pity to be a centurion."”
With that, he ignored Jiang Meng and signaled Mao Xiang to knock on the door.
Mao Xiang and Jiang Meng stood outside the door, watching Xiao Qi lead Zhu Yuanzhang in with a shocked expression.
Then Mao Xiang looked at Jiang Meng with a smile and said,"You brat, you made it this time!”
"Since the Emperor said that it is a pity for you to be a hundred households, then you can be promoted to a thousand households. It just so happens that Zhu Niangzi has given you a position!”
Jiang Meng was so excited that his lips were trembling. In his heart, he silently said that he had brought honor to his ancestors!
This was simply like smoke rising from the graves of his ancestors. He was easily promoted to a thousand households!
He had obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's approval to become a Thousand Households. Even if others had objections, Mao Xiang would help to shut their mouths!
Jiang Meng immediately knelt on the ground and hugged Mao Xiang's boots.
He said humbly," Thank you, Commander. I swear that I will follow your lead for the rest of my life!"”
Mao Xiang looked at Jiang Meng, who was prostrating at his feet, and smiled in satisfaction.
No matter how Jiang He showed his face in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he could not surpass him, the commander.
A thousand-man household was enough to make the other party shed tears of gratitude, wishing he could lick his boots.
Mao Xiang was used to this and said indifferently,""Get up. Be more alert in the future. There are still many times when I need you.”
Jiang Meng stood up, his back hunched, still half a waist shorter than Mao Xiang.
However, Mao Xiang did not notice that Jiang Cong's lowered face was filled with the desire for power!
