Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and tapped on the table rhythmically. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry from his calm face.
Beside him, Crown Prince Zhu Biao lowered his head and did not dare to breathe too loudly.
After returning from the Imperial Jail, the father and son had maintained this state, and neither of them took the lead to break the silence.
After a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly and took a sip of tea.
"Boss, in your opinion, what is this young mister Su Bai up to?”
Zhu Biao's face tightened, and he said carefully,""Reporting to Imperial Father, a person's heart is hard to read. Your son's knowledge is shallow and I dare not make a rash judgment."
"However, judging from the contents, this Mr. Su doesn't seem to be a traitor!”
"At least he is sincerely teaching Fourth Brother and is also worried for Big Ming from the bottom of his heart, not cursing maliciously!”
"Although there are some shocking words, they are indeed not very pleasant to hear."
As he was speaking, Zhu Biao threw back the question that Zhu Yuanzhang had raised." What did Father think?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and laughed,"What?"
"Your little thoughts are all on your old man?”
"Your son does not dare!" Zhu Biao hurried to stand in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed,
"Your son only feels that you can't not believe Teacher Su's words, and you can't completely believe them.”
"Making an arbitrary conclusion might be a great loss to Da Ming, to Imperial Father, and to Fourth Brother.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, don't just stand there. Get up.”
"I know what your concerns are. You don't have to remind me in a roundabout way. I'm not old yet!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said,
"Aren't you afraid that we'll punish Su Bai and implicate Fourth Bro?”
"Fourth Bro hasn't even grown his hair yet. He's easily bewitched, but we're not that easy to fool!”
"Don't worry. No matter what the outcome is, we won't blame Fourth Brother. After all, that bastard has made some progress.”
"At least he didn't forget his surname!”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands and said,
"Imperial Father is wise. Your son thanks Imperial Father on behalf of Fourth Brother!”
With his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was sure that this visit was actually to give himself a way out and release Zhu Di from prison.
But he didn't expect Su Bai to come out of nowhere and change Zhu Yuanzhang's original plan.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was so focused on Su Bai's shocking words that he didn't even bother about his troublesome fourth son.
Su Bai's position was unclear, his identity was sensitive, and his words were mysterious. Zhu Biao was really scared and worried that his fourth brother would be in trouble.
Seeing Zhu Biao's worried look, Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and stretched out his hand.
"Bring me the thing you wrote!”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao seemed to wake up from a dream. He quickly handed over the lecture content that he had recorded with both hands respectfully.
" Four cold periods, four warm periods, the fate of the country and the way God withstands natural disasters."
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were tightly knitted together. He looked at it for a long time but could not see anything.
At first glance, it was an alarmist, but when one looked closely, it was a chill down one's spine. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became!
Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze resentfully and said disdainfully,
"Go, call Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen over!”
"I don't believe that a mere death row prisoner, a teacher from the village, and a clansman of a guilty minister can stump our 'Zhang Liang' and 'Xiao He'.”
"Yes, Imperial Father!" Zhu Biao didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly went down to summon him.
As Da Ming's top strategists, the two of them had made great contributions to Da Ming.
Li Shan Chang was the head of the six dukes and was also the only civil official among them. It was enough to show his weight. He was even praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as Xiao He of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen wasn't part of the original team, but he wrote a letter stating the eighteen strategies of the times. He participated in the planning to pacify the world and played a decisive role in eliminating the warlords. His reputation as Zhuge Liang, who divided the world into three parts and unified the country, was widely spread among the people.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that Liu Bowen was: I'm the son of a bitch.
With the two of them together, Su Bai was nothing.
Not long after.
Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen followed Crown Prince Zhu Biao to Fengtian Palace.
"I, Li Shanzhang, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"I, Liu Ji, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Although the two of them spoke in unison, they maintained a distance between each other intentionally or unintentionally. It was obvious that they did not like each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in a high position, took in all of her subtle actions. He frowned slightly but did not say anything.
"No need for formalities. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the two of them took their seats, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the people around him and explained the reason. He also handed over the content of the lecture recorded by the Crown Prince to the two of them.
Liu Bowen's brows were tightly knitted, and his withered palms were faintly trembling. He could not help but gasp.
On the side, killing intent flashed between Lee Shan Chang's brows, and he could not hide his smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the subtle changes in their expressions and immediately asked,
"Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, what do you think?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lee Shan Chang suddenly stood up and took the lead."
"Reporting to my superior, this person's lies can't withstand scrutiny!”
"Even the most chaotic Western Jin in history had a short period of prosperity at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty. History called it the Taikang Prosperity!”
"But this person said that the foundation of Great Ming has not received any blessing from the fate of the country. This move is clearly implying that even Great Ming cannot compare to Western Jin!”
"Heresy to deceive the public, his heart is worthy of punishment!"
Lee Shan Chang intentionally raised his voice and said loudly,
"If I remember correctly, only Yang Xian's clansmen have been imprisoned for the crime of implicating others, right?”
"The clansmen of the sinners have wild ambitions. Presumably, they are also resentful of the higher-ups and can't wait for the Great Ming to perish as soon as possible!”
"I implore the higher-ups to be clear and bring back His Highness the King of Yan as soon as possible to avoid being bewitched by evil people with ulterior motives!”
Li Shan Chang's words were sonorous and powerful.
These words also made Liu Bowen's expression even uglier.
Yang Xian, whose entire family had been exterminated, was Liu Bowen's student. The Eastern Zhejiang Group had suffered a great loss, and even his teacher had been implicated.
At this moment, another person who had been implicated had come out to spout nonsense. As Liu Bowen's arch-enemy and the leader of Huaixi Group, Li Shan Chang naturally would not let go of the opportunity to beat up a fallen dog.
"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change. He ignored Li Shanchang's criticism and turned to look at Liu Bowen with interest.
Liu Bowen stood up in disappointment, struggling and hesitating. He smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this subject is the same."
"Mr. Liu!" Without waiting for Liu Bowen to continue, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and interrupted,
"I hope you think carefully before answering my question!”
"Previously, you came to beg us to leave a root for Yang Xian's family, but we didn't agree.”
"But this time, if you can satisfy me, I won't kill that kid called Su Bai. What do you think?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed as he said coldly,"
"Mr. Liu, I hope you understand.”
"If you want to protect yourself, no one can save you!”
