Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall, Imperial Study.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's dejected look, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown. He wanted to speak a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
There was now another reason that led to the destruction of the Great Ming Dynasty.
And it was the "imperial clan support" that Zhu Yuanzhang valued the most. For any father, this was unacceptable.
After a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the tea that had already cooled down and drank it in one gulp.
"Boss, do you think we were really wrong?”
"I just hope that our children and grandchildren can live a better life in the future and not follow our old path.”
"How can we destroy Great Ming?”
Zhu Biao opened his mouth, but he couldn't continue.
He couldn't figure out the reason behind Su Bai's words.
The problem of not being able to handle a bowl of water had affected the atmosphere within the court. He admitted this.
But…
How could reducing the prince's salary and balancing the relationship between the two become treating the symptoms but not the root cause? It would even lead to the destruction of the Great Ming Dynasty!
Could it be that he had to cancel all the privileges of a prince?
Not to mention whether his younger brothers would agree or not, first of all, he would not be able to get past his father!
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Biao sighed.
"Father's good intentions, your sons have seen it and remembered it. As for what Teacher Su said,"
"Your son is stupid, please forgive me, Imperial Father!”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly and gestured for Zhu Biao to stand up. He said in a melancholic tone,"
"I don't mean to blame you. I just feel uncomfortable!”
"Don't say that you can't figure it out. Even we can't understand Mr. Su's deep meaning.”
"Isn't it natural for a father to raise his son and a son to support his son? Why is it not applicable to me?”
"Just because I'm the emperor? Can't we raise a son?"
"What is this?!"
Zhu Biao stood up and poured some tea into Zhu Yuanzhang's cup to comfort him.
"Father, don't blame yourself. No matter what other people think, our sons will always think of Father's goodness.”
"In the hearts of our sons, you are the greatest father in the world.”
"No one else!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly as he smiled bitterly.
"Good boy, I like hearing these words. I didn't dote on you for nothing!”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had recovered, Zhu Biao struck while the iron was hot and said,
"Father, don't think too much. Mr. Su has always been like this. This isn't the first time he's said something shocking.”
"Anyway, Mr. Smith definitely has the answer and can solve it easily. Why should we worry about nothing?”
"Don't you think so?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and scolded with a smile,
"You little brat, you're always lying to your father. Don't you know that Su Bai has a solution?”
"What worries me is that without Su Bai's help, we can't move!”
"The imperial court has raised a bunch of good-for-nothings. None of them can help us. They only know how to say useless nonsense!”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the angrier he became. His smile gradually disappeared and he directly cursed.
"Sacred, Sacred, Sacred my ass! If he was really wise, Su Bai would not have picked out so many faults!!”
"A basket of questions. Which one did they find?”
"You're worse than pigs and dogs!"
Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing to be able to scold people, but being able to scold people meant that it was normal.
" Imperial Father, please calm down-"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't there another person?"
"Did Imperial Father forget?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned his head, his eyes wide open.
"Who is it?"
"Liu Ji, Mr. Liu!"
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this name.
Liu Bowen was capable, but he was too proud and arrogant. He liked to pretend to be ignorant. That dead look could really anger people to death.
Whenever something happened, he would never take the initiative to offer advice, and he would have to go over and ask for it.
What the hell was that?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Biao quickly said,
"Since ancient times, all the extraordinary people have very strange personalities. Isn't Mr. Su also living towards death?”
"Strange people like them are all carved out of the same mold. What's important is their ability, not their personality.”
"Alright, don't flatter them. We got it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said with disdain,
"Go, prepare the horses for us. We'll leave now!”
Zhu Biao subconsciously looked out the window.
It was already the third watch of the night. Wasn't it too rushed to leave just like that?
Before Zhu Biao could persuade him, Zhu Yuanzhang impatiently urged,
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"
"Father!"
"If I tell you to go, then go. Do you think we'll still need to sleep tonight if we don't get to the bottom of it?”
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
Zhu Biao didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to prepare.
Not long after.
Two men and two horses galloped out of the side door of the palace, heading in the direction of the Residence of the Earl of Sincerity, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
...
......
In the Residence of the Earl of Sincerity.
"I, Liu Ji, pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!”
"I didn't know that Your Majesty would visit so late at night. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me for not welcoming you!”
They saw Liu Bowen and his entire family kneeling in a mess.
Zhu Yuanzhang swept a cold glance at them and waved his hand.
"No worries!"
"There's nothing else for you to do. Go back to sleep!”
After saying that.
Zhu Yuanzhang placed his hands behind his back and strode into the house. Crown Prince Zhu Biao followed closely behind.
Liu Bowen shook his head imperceptibly and followed helplessly.
The group arrived at the central hall.
Seeing Liu Bowen pour tea and water unhurriedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's impatience came again and he shouted,"
"Mr. Liu, don't be busy. I'm not thirsty!”
Liu Bowen turned around and bowed,"
"Your Majesty, may I know what orders you have for your late night visit?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the former's respectful attitude and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Liu, are you not going to ask about Su Bai's life and death?”
"It's already been two days, and you haven't made any moves. We still have to take the initiative to look for you!”
"What do you think?"
" Your Majesty, please calm down-"
Liu Bowen buried his head deeper and said calmly,"
"This subject has been ill recently and is really powerless. It's not that I don't care. Your Majesty, please investigate.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly. He wanted to say something but stopped. He couldn't be bothered to lower himself to his level.
Liu Bowen used his poor health as an excuse. He had long been disgusted by it. After so many years, he had not come up with anything new.
"Alright, get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously,
"Mr. Liu, let me ask you. That day, you and Lee Shan Chang each presented us with a solution to the natural disaster.”
"At that time, did you really think the same as Li Shan Chang?”
Liu Bowen smiled indifferently."
"Your Majesty, the matter is already in the past. What I thought at that time is not important.”
"The most important thing is that His Majesty has obtained the method to break out of this situation.”
"Isn't it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Liu Bowen was acting mysterious and almost couldn't help but curse.
"Let me show you this first!"
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial he brought to Liu Bowen, not giving him a chance to decline.
"Hurry up. We came here in the middle of the night not to play Tai Chi with you!”
Liu Bowen held the memorial and seemed to be struggling. However, he could not withstand Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze. He could only brace himself and lower his eyebrows.
When he saw the content.
Liu Bowen instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his eyes filled with fear.
He looked down carefully.
Pa!
His withered hands trembled violently, and the memorial fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Bowen, who had always been sage-like, actually lost his composure at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad premonition.
Plop!
Liu Bowen knelt on the ground!
"This is the Dragon Slaying Art!"
