After the court session ended, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the inner hall with the resignation memorials from Lan Yu and Chang Sheng in his hands.
This memorial was written with sincerity. If others saw it, they would probably be extremely moved.
However, he clearly knew that Lan Yu and Chang Sheng could still fight on the battlefield. In terms of political intelligence, they were not on the same level as the civil officials in the court.
These people could smell danger? Did he know that his knife was about to be placed on their necks?
How could he think of such a move? Resign before I make a move?
That was impossible!
There must be someone guiding him from behind.
Who was it?
From the beginning until now, this matter had been handled by the Jinyiwei Commander Jiang Meng, and then by him.
Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at Jiang Meng, who was holding his head high and doing his duty. This person was loyal to him and would never leak any information to them.
He lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, another person appeared in his mind.
It was him?
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and held the two resignation memorials in his arms.
He walked to Lotus Alley with a frown. When he pushed open the door, he saw Zhu Yu who was busy in the kitchen. He sat on the steps skillfully and ordered,"Give me some garlic for the dumplings. It's delicious."
"Old Master, you came at the right time. It'll be ready soon.”
Zhu Yu chuckled and soon came out with two plates of dumplings. She placed them on the stone table in the courtyard and handed the chopsticks to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,"Where's the garlic?"”
Zhu Yu walked back into the house. She didn't have any garlic in her hands. Instead, she held two bottles of wine and waved them in front of the old man's eyes."Old Master, let's not eat garlic today. Let's drink.”
"Dumplings? Drinking? What's there to be particular about?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu smiled and replied,"Dumplings with wine, the more you eat, the better!"”
"Interesting. Come and pour some for me.”Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
As he ate the dumplings and drank a mouthful of good wine, his eyes lit up."Yes, the more I eat, the more I feel it."
After a while, the dumplings on the plate were mostly gone. Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips and took a sip of wine. He said intentionally or unintentionally,"You brat, have you been to Lan Yu's residence?”
"That's right."
"Old Master, you know?"
Zhu Yu said in a muffled voice as she chewed on the dumplings.
This matter couldn't be hidden. This old man of his was a shrewd person. It was better to admit it frankly.
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied, but he was still muttering in his heart.
Looks like my guess was right. It was really you who snitched on me.
As he spoke, he felt around in his hand and threw the two memorials in front of Zhu Yu.
Looking at the contents of the two memorials, Zhu Yu exclaimed in surprise,"I didn't expect the Duke of Liang to really do this.”
"Was it your idea for them to resign in advance?”
"It's not an idea. It's just a casual suggestion.”
"Why did you save him?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was filled with anger.
"Nothing else, I'm just repaying a favor!" Zhu Yu said casually.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. His heart suddenly ached, and the anger that had just gathered dissipated instantly.
'Nothing else, I'm just repaying a favor.'
He naturally knew what this meant.
When he found out that Zhu Yu was his youngest son who had been missing for ten years, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the Jinyiwei to carefully investigate Zhu Yu's life and past.
Naturally, he also knew that he had faced dozens of Meng Yuan's elite cavalrymen alone with a knife in Datong Prefecture. He also knew that Lan Yu had intervened at the critical moment and saved him.
He said it calmly, but he felt more and more guilty in his heart.
He had let his son wander among the people for so many years, and he had even let him face such a predicament. He had a narrow escape.
He owed his youngest son too much.
He sighed and nodded."Yes, to repay a favor. You're a loyal and honest person.”
Seeing that his old man was not in a good mood, he quickly asked with concern,"What's wrong, Old Man, did the Emperor find out about my secret and blame you?”
"If that's really the case, Old Man, you should go back and talk to the Emperor. This matter is actually beneficial to Big Ming.”
"What?"
"Is it beneficial to our Great Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.
"That's right."
"I've analyzed it before. Emperor Hongwu wanted to kill Lan Yu and Huaixi's generals group because the Crown Prince died and Zhu Yunwen had no foundation. The Emperor was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress these people after his grandson ascended the throne.”
"I think that's what you're thinking too, right?”
"But have you ever thought about what would happen if Emperor Hongwu is no longer around and Zhu Yunwen ascends to the throne and someone rebelled after Lan Yu and the Huaixi generals in the court were wiped out?!”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? After cleaning up Lan Yu and Huaixi General Group, who would still dare to rebel?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Zhu Yu said calmly,""King Yan!"
Boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils constricted.
His son, Prince of Yan Zhu Di?
he
This son of his was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He had outstanding military achievements and was very capable. His ability to command his subordinates also had his own style.
Now that he was in the fief, he was usually respectful to him.
But what if he was gone?
He doesn't have any deep feelings for Zhu Yunwen
Thinking about it carefully, if they really wanted to rebel? It was really possible!
He looked at his old man who had fallen silent.
He knew that he had also comprehended it.
Zhu Yu continued,"Old Master, you can't possibly persuade the Emperor to behead his own son, right?"!”
"That's why keeping Lan Yu and those generals is useful."
"At worst, we can just let Zhu Yunwen use it again to deal with Zhu Di.”
"Just in case."
"Old Master, what do you think?"
