Zhu Yuanzhang's words warmed Li Shan Chang and the others 'hearts.
The cultivation of the Crown Prince was related to the direction of Da Ming in the next few decades.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words today were equivalent to giving all the nobles of Huaixi City a reassurance.
Seeing this, Tang He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively,
"Upstanding? Lu Zhongheng and the others are still locked up in the death row. What exactly is up with the position..."
As soon as Tang He finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,
"Second brother, there are some things that I've wanted to tell you for a long time.”
Tang He was stunned.
"Please say it directly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sipped his wine and said,
"When you go back, help me pass a message to the old people in Huaixi. Take care of yourself and the juniors below. They are old, but we still have to use the juniors of Huaixi to expand our territory for Ying 'er. Whoever leads the juniors astray will be the sinner of Huaixi for eternity!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally sighed and said,
"We will consider Lu Zhongheng's matter. However, these few people have been doing a lot of mischief in Jinling on a daily basis! Let's find an opportunity to let them redeem themselves before releasing them. Let them reflect on themselves from the death row first.”
Tang He was overjoyed.
"Upper position, don't worry. These little brats are indeed bastards. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go to prison and whip them for you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang drank his wine while thinking about the white-bearded old man that Zhu Xiongying had been talking about.
Because in Zhu Xiongying's description.
This old man had a goatee.
He even spoke with an obscure accent.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that it was an ancestor of the Zhu family.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still knew what to do.
In his own family, there were 20 generations of people who had risen up.
He was just a tenant.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had always had a bold guess in his mind.
That was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen!
Just based on the things that the white-bearded old man taught Zhu Xiongying.
This person was really too similar to Liu Bowen's style of doing things.
Most importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang had always felt that Liu Bowen was not dead.
After Hu Weiyong sent the herbs to Liu Bowen.
That night, Liu Bowen died.
This kind of nonsense could fool the world, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe it.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Liu Bowen had long intended to retire.
However, he had been stopping her.
As he drank, Zhu Yuanzhang's conviction was suddenly strengthened.
……
……
After sending off Li Shan Chang and the others.
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly appeared in an inconspicuous courtyard in the palace.
This was the place that Zhu Yuanzhang had chosen to cultivate sweet potatoes.
Among them were five old farmers who had been carefully selected from the Imperial Manor, as well as a few scholars from the Imperial College who studied agricultural books.
Inside and outside the courtyard, there were hundreds of Embroidered Uniform Guards, all dressed like eunuchs in the palace.
Although this place looked no different from the other places in the palace, and it didn't even have a name, it had long become the top secret of the entire Ming Dynasty.
As long as the sweet potatoes were not planted, these people could not leave the palace.
"Erhu, let me ask you something.”
Er Hu was stunned.
"Your Majesty, please ask. I will tell you everything I know.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fields in the courtyard and said in a disappointed tone,
"Is Liu Bowen really dead?"
Er Hu was shocked.
"Your Majesty, didn't Uncle Liu Ji, Lord Liu, pass away seven years ago?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and gritted his teeth.
"I always felt that Bowen was not someone who could die so easily. I don't believe that a mere Hu Weiyong could kill Bowen!”
Although Liu Bowen was a meritorious minister of the Ming Dynasty, he was still a man of great virtue.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Liu Bowen had never regarded him as his master.
Liu Bowen only wanted to expel the Tartars. As for who would be the emperor, Liu Bowen did not care as long as it was a Han.
But because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had always been afraid of Liu Bowen.
Zhu Xiong Ying had been talking about the white-bearded old man frequently these days.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but think of this old friend.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few people who could teach Zhu Xiongying these things.
Liu Bowen was the only one.
"Your Majesty, on the day of Lord Liu's funeral, I went to offer my condolences. I've already confirmed repeatedly that Lord Liu has passed away.”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't reply, but a disdainful expression appeared on his face.
Where is Liu Bowen from?
Zhu Yuanzhang had seen this kind of little trick many times when the monarch and his subjects worked together.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, as long as he didn't see Liu Bowen's head and body with his own eyes, he would treat it as not dead.
In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the most suitable person to be Zhu Xiongying's teacher was Liu Bowen!
Erhu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some doubts and asked,
"Your Majesty, you mean…?"
"You can find a trustworthy person in the palace to keep an eye on the sweet potatoes. Leave the palace immediately and go to Qingtian.”
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but pause.
After hesitating for a long time, he said slowly,
"Open the coffin and do an autopsy. Remember, don't show off. Don't let the Qingtian County government and the Liu family know about this.”
"Your humble servant accepts the order!"
