After Old Zhu's torment, everyone had nothing to eat.
Zhu Biao reluctantly put down his bowl and chopsticks and called Lan Yu to the side. He said softly,"Imperial Father places great importance on the war in Xi Fan. If you have nothing else to do, follow BenGong to the Eastern Palace. BenGong can also give you some instructions.”
"I'm fine."
Hearing this, Lan Yu bowed.
Zhu Biao looked at Lan Shenxing and said loudly,"Don't go out today. BenGong will go to father's place later. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will call you into the palace to discuss farming matters.”
"Alright."
Lan Shenxing nodded.
Thus, Zhu Biao left with Madam Chang and Lan Yu.
Xu Da and Xu Huizu both sensed something fishy from Zhu Biao's words. The latter tugged at the corner of Lan Shenxing's clothes and asked softly,"Are you really staying in Ying Tian?"
"Of course."
Lan Shenxing said.
"How did you make His Majesty relent?”
Xu Huizu found it unbelievable. He looked at the potatoes in the courtyard and recalled the farming that Zhu Biao had mentioned."It can't be because of this thing, right?"
"Let's talk inside."
Lan Shenxing closed the courtyard door and signaled Xu Da and the others to enter.
That was why he asked Xu Miaoyun to call Xu Da and Xu Huizu instead of Xu Zengshou.
It was because these two were trustworthy people.
He couldn't see through Xu Da.
But Xu Huizu, as long as Lan Shenxing wasn't stupid enough to say that he had rebelled, and that he had really done it.
Then…Xu Huizu would not have fallen out with him.
Lan Shenxing told Xu Da and Xu Huizu about the potatoes.
After Xu Da heard this, his heart was as clear as a mirror.
After all, he knew how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued farming.
If Lan Shenxing had a way to increase food production, then to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was a genius!
Was there a lack of generals in the early Ming Dynasty?
There was no shortage.
What they lacked was food!
"Who's going with the army this time?" Lan Shenxing asked.”
Xu Da did not reply.
"Li Wenzhong's son, Li Jinglong, His Highness the King of Yan, Chang Mao, and me. Other than Chang Mao who followed your father to Xi Fan, the three of us followed my father.”
"So many people?"
Lan Shenxing was stunned.
"Many?"
"I haven't told you about many of the sons of noble families. I've only told you some that you have an impression of." To put it bluntly, His Majesty intends to let us go out in advance to broaden our horizons and gain some military merits to train ourselves.”
Lan Shenxing nodded.
"In the beginning, His Majesty wanted you and me to follow my father, and Li Jinglong, His Highness the Prince of Yan, and Chang Mao to follow your father. I don't know why, but he changed it later.”
Xu Huizu took a sip of tea and said,"Now it seems that it should be because you stayed in Yingtian that there were changes."”
Right now, Lan Yu had yet to gain power, and Xu Da's military ability was the most respected.
For Zhu Yuanzhang to let Lan Shenxing train by Xu Da's side, it was obvious that he valued him greatly.
Now.
Since Lan Shenxing did not want to go, Zhu Yuanzhang could not let others take advantage of this good thing, so he replaced Zhu Di.
"Hui Zu, it's time to go back."
Xu Da stood up. Before he left, he instructed Lan Shenxing,""It's a good thing to be able to stay in Ying Tian, but you must remember to think twice before you act. When the higher-ups took away the pot of stewed beef with potatoes, they were very shameless. However, he was not careless when killing people.”
"I'll remember it."
Lan Shenxing bowed.
"Let's go back to the house."
Xu Da patted Lan Shenxing's shoulder and left with Xu Huizu.
……
In the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and brought the copper basin into the house. He pulled Zhu Xiongying and looked at Empress Ma." Sister, look at what we got for you."”
Empress Ma curiously went forward and asked,""Is this the potato you told Biao about?”
"That's right, sister. Try it. It's very fragrant.”
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to bring a bowl and chopsticks. He personally picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Empress Ma's mouth.
"Yes, it's delicious."
Empress Ma smiled and hugged Zhu Xiongying, who was drooling, and fed him.
Old Zhu got a bowl of rice and started eating.
The eunuch standing at the side swallowed his saliva greedily.
Soon, the stewed beef with potatoes was completely wiped out by the three of them.
Old Zhu put down his bowl and chopsticks, still wanting more.
Empress Ma gestured for the eunuch to leave, then asked softly,""Chongba, don't you think it's inappropriate for that child to stay in the Embroidered Uniform Guards?”
She felt that…
If it was in the past, it would not be a problem to put Lan Shenxing in the Jinyiwei.
But now…
It was indeed a little inappropriate.
"I don't think it's inappropriate.”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said,"Anyway, that kid has a fake position now. It doesn't hinder him from doing things." In the future, when Biao 'er became the emperor, if Biao' er felt that it was not suitable, then could he change his official position?”
"You…"
Empress Ma shook her head and smiled." You're making arrangements for Biao 'er while letting him make his own plans. I don't know what you're thinking every day."”
"This is different."
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to explain.
The people he had arranged for Zhu Biao were those who had their thorns removed. Once Zhu Biao ascended the throne, he would be able to order them around.
As for those that had not been arranged in time, they were divided into two categories.
One was Lan Shenxing.
He had a close relationship with Zhu Biao, and his abilities were not bad. Naturally, he had to let Zhu Biao look after him.
The second was that it was disadvantageous to Zhu Biao, but he hadn't had the time to pull out the thorn yet.
The first scenario depended on whether Zhu Biao was still alive.
The second situation was that whether Zhu Biao was alive or not, Zhu Yuanzhang had to get rid of him!
Hu Weiyong belonged to the second category.
"Men."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something.
"Your Majesty."
The eunuch answered and came over.
"Send Ying 'er back to the Eastern Palace and call Biao' er over.”
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
The eunuch pulled Zhu Xiongying up and was about to leave. Before he could take a step, Zhu Yuanzhang said,""Also, ask Biao Er to call Lan Shenxing along the way.”
"Yes."
The eunuch left.
……
In the courtyard.
After Xu Da and Xu Huizu left, Lan Shenxing took out the bowl of stewed beef with potatoes that he had hidden.
"When did you hide it?" Xu Miaoyun was stunned. You didn't expect His Majesty to come, did you?”
"I don't have that ability."
Lan Shenxing placed the bowl on the table and said,""I just thought that with so many people, we definitely wouldn't be able to eat much, so…I saved a bowl in advance. As for His Majesty's arrival, it was truly unexpected.”
As he spoke, he scooped two bowls of rice and the two of them sat down to eat.
