The atmosphere in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute instantly dropped to freezing point.
Jiang Meng felt a strong killing intent and hurriedly said,""Emperor, he wasn't bullied."
Oh?
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang hold his pen and read the memorial again."Continue."
Jiang Meng continued," At first, more and more refugees gathered at Salt Mountain. The situation was a little out of control. The refugees also had a change in their minds. It seemed like a civil revolt was about to happen.”
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said,"These commoners are like weeds. They are the easiest to govern, but also the most difficult to govern."”
It took Zhu Yuanzhang his entire life to figure out the truth of governing the people. It was impossible to blindly express goodwill. One had to know how to use kindness and power at the same time.
"How did he handle it?"
Jiang Meng paused for a moment before saying," He smashed the leader's hands. His hands were crippled, and his legs were crippled by his subordinates."”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed and said,""The situation has stabilized."
"Hehe, this brat!" Zhu Yuanzhang revealed a loving smile on his face, but then he was a little proud." This kindness and killing, it's hard not to subdue people!”
"He's only seventeen years old, but he already has such thoughts. When we were seventeen, we were even inferior to him.”
"I wanted to help him, but I was afraid that someone would hurt him. But I found…I found that he was not weak.”
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Meng added,"Very strong!"”
Not weak was not suitable to describe it, but very strong was more appropriate.
"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled." The Zhu family's bloodline is not just limited to methods and no martial arts!”
"The Emperor is right," Jiang Qiong said with a rare smile.”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said,""Go and call the Liao family's two children over."
"Yes!"
After a while, two burly men walked over.
Both of them were Eastern Palace guards, one was Liao Yong, the other was Liao Yue.
They had the same square face, the same burly and powerful man. At this moment, they were wearing the official robes of the imperial guards. With their hands on their waist knives, they walked to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute with tiger steps.
"This humble servant greets the Emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the two of them and went straight to the point."Do you still remember our eldest grandson, Zhu Xiong?”
The two brothers looked suspicious. Of course, they knew about the late great-grandson Zhu Xiong.
The two brothers had such a bright future because of Zhu Xiong Xin.
Their grandfather was Liao Yongzhong, a general in the early Ming Dynasty. Later, he was sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang for using dragons and phoenixes illegally.
Zhu Xiong was only five years old at that time. Seeing that these two brothers were not afraid of being implicated, he resolutely and openly sent his grandfather to his death. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after knowing this and wanted to kill this loyal father and disloyal king.
However, Zhu Xiong had spoken to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that since the two of them were filial, why would they be disloyal?
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang let them go.
Later on, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao personally appointed the two of them as guards and let them teach Zhu Xiong Xin martial arts. Only then did the two of them get a job and not become commoners.
The two of them pulled their thoughts back from their reminiscence and said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang,"I dare not forget the kindness of my great-grandson.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded." Oh, since that's the case, you can leave the palace and protect our eldest grandson."”
What?
"Your Majesty, this…" The two brothers were confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand." Don't be suspicious. The imperial grandson is not dead yet. He has been living well outside. The mission I gave you is to be loyal to the imperial grandson. Don't say what you shouldn't say and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. In the future, when you see me, treat me as an ordinary citizen. Understand?"”
Although these two brothers were martial artists, they were not fools. Although they had been transferred out of the palace by the old master, they knew that this was not a punishment or a transfer!
"Yes!"
The two brothers cupped their fists and shouted.
Zhu Yuanzhang said," Go down. It's the third house along the Qinhuai River. You can make up your own reasons to become his disciple."”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Zhu Huai returned to his home by the Qinhuai River.
The incident at Salt Mountain just now made him realize that a retired soldier like Fang Laowu was not enough.
After all, he was just a big soldier. There were many things that he did not have the ruthlessness to do.
As his family business expanded, this amount of manpower was becoming more and more insufficient.
Dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door. Zhu Huai suppressed his thoughts and went to open the door.
What entered his sight were two mighty men. Looking at their upright standing posture, they should also be soldiers.
When Liao Yong and Liao Yue saw Zhu Huai, they were instantly stunned. They could not help but blurt out,"Sir?"
Zhu Xiong He was the eldest son of Zhu Biao, and the guards of the Eastern Palace were used to addressing him as Lord.
Grandpa?
Was there something wrong with their eyes?
"I'm not your grandpa," Zhu Huai said."Go to Old Wang's house next door and see if he's your grandpa."”
He pretended to close the door.
Only then did the two brothers remember the old man's instructions. They hurriedly pressed the door and respectfully said,"Are you Zhu Langjun?"
"Oh, you know me?" Zhu Huai nodded.”
"I'm Liao Yong and Liao Yue," the two brothers said."I've been entrusted by someone to seek refuge with Mr. Zhu.”
Zhu Huai was about to say that he didn't need it, but when he heard their names, he was stunned.
He knew the names of these two brothers. Zhu Huai knew the names of the twenty-four founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
These were Liao Yongzhong's two grandsons.
Liao Yongzhong was implicated in Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang's rebellion. After Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to die, he let the descendants of the Liao family go.
Originally, this pair of grandsons should have been careful.
In order to fulfill his filial piety, they risked the risk of being sentenced to death by the emperor and resolutely collected his grandfather's body. They even personally put on mourning clothes and pushed Liao Yongzhong's body to be buried.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but seeing the two brothers so loyal, he let them go.
Because of Zhu Biao's influence, he finally found a job for the two brothers in the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Huai had a deep impression of this matter.
Zhu Huai looked at the two of them and thought for a moment before saying,"I'm just a businessman."
Liao Yong said seriously," Langjun, you don't have to be humble. My brother and I have seen your righteousness. Langjun has taken in so many refugees in the market. Your heart shines through the ages. Although you are a merchant now, in the future, when the great roc rises with the wind, it will soar to ninety thousand miles!”
"Langjun, you can't handle all these things by yourself," Liao Yue echoed."Since we've decided to seek refuge with you, we can take care of everything."”
"Langjun, don't worry. We're entrusted by someone and won't dare to be disloyal.”
Hmm?
Earlier, Zhu Huai had overlooked these words. Old Yellow Head?
Zhu Huai was relieved that the yellow-haired old man had called someone over to help him.
"Good!"
Zhu Huai did not hesitate. A long journey tests a horse's strength, and time tests a person's heart. Whether he was sincere or not, he had to use it. He also had to look at the old yellow head's eyes when looking at people!
