"Alright, alright!"
"I'm relieved that you think so!”
"A man must be responsible, distinguish right from wrong, and let go!”
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a deep breath and praised Zhu Rong repeatedly. The love in his eyes became even stronger. He felt that his son was becoming more and more similar to him.
I'm talking about Zhu Xi.
Zhu Yuanzhang was both fond and proud, but he also felt deeply indebted.
As the third son of the family, he had to bear a heavier responsibility than his two older brothers. Ever since he was eight years old, he had been hanging out with those rough men in the army.
After years of hard work, coupled with his extraordinary talent, he had achieved today's glory and become a great general that everyone respected and knew.
However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang, as a father, not know the hardships behind it?
Time and time again, they defeated more people with fewer numbers and created miracles. This was a method that could not be helped. It was like dancing on the tip of a knife, fighting for life with the Grim Reaper.
Last time.
During the Battle of Jiangnan, he was ambushed by Ye Dexin in Gusu City and almost lost his life.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to tell his wife Ma Xiuying about this, afraid that his sister would be scared out of her wits.
"Damn, dad, when did you become so sentimental?”
"You said that a man should be responsible!”
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
"The heavens gave me a gifted divine power and an extraordinarily intelligent brain to let me take on more responsibilities.”
"Since your son is the prince of the Great Ming Empire, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything for the Great Ming Empire at any time!”
Zhu Xiong saw the apology and love in his father's eyes. His nose felt a little sour, and he turned to comfort his father.
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
"Well said!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with endless pride for his son to have such a deep understanding and understanding.
He was thinking about it again.
If only Zhu Rong was the boss!
However, he only thought about it in his heart. Although Zhu Biao was not as talented as Zhu Rong, he was humble, polite, open-minded, and filial. He was also deeply loved by him.
If it wasn't for any major changes, he would never do something like abandoning the elder and appointing the younger.
"Third brother, what do you think about Chahan Timur's marriage? What should our Ming Empire do to obtain the greatest benefits?”
Zhu Yuanzhang discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind and changed the topic to the marriage.
"Father, I think that Yuan Ting is different from Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and the other Grand Marshals of the Revolutionary Army. They have more than a hundred years of foundation in the Central Plains and have a deep foundation.”
"If we want to defeat him, we'll definitely have to pay an even greater price.”
"Now that our Ming Empire has just been established, there are many things to do. Although we have occupied Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's territory, it has not been long and our foundation is not stable.”
"Especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Zhang Shicheng has won the hearts of the people. Although he has been eliminated by his son, small rebellions still occur from time to time.”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Rong's analysis and kept nodding. He hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problems that existed in the Ming Empire.
He knew that his son had more to say. He looked up at him and waited quietly.
"Your son thinks that we can use the marriage alliance to help Chahan Timur send troops to Northern Yuan. We can ask for a city and become a nail in the north.”
"Mr. Li and Mr. Liu mentioned this matter in the imperial court.”
"What your son wants to add is that on the surface, we can lead a troop to help Chahan Timur. In secret, we can form an intelligence organization to spy and infiltrate the Yuan Court.”
"All the forces of the Ming Empire are located south of the Yangtze River. In the north, we are equivalent to deaf and blind people.”
"This is very disadvantageous for the Northern Expedition in the future.”
"If we want to defeat him, we must first understand him.”
Zhu Rong revealed all his thoughts. After saying so much in one breath, he felt his mouth go dry. He gulped down the tea in his cup.
Having lived two lives and with the memories of his previous life, Zhu Xiong understood the importance of intelligence in war.
Sometimes, a small difference in information could determine the outcome of a war.
"Not bad! Third Brother, your idea is very good!"
"Such an organization is very necessary. Not only can it spy on and infiltrate the enemy, but it can also monitor the ministers and become the emperor's eyes and ears.”
"Hahaha, Third Bro, your brain is really good!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was worthy of being called the Great Emperor of his generation. He quickly drew inferences from one instance. Not only did he think of the role of such an organization on the battlefield, but he also thought of its role in governing the country.
Zhu Xiong was stunned.
Why did it sound so much like the Jinyiwei?
No way!
Could it be that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were born more than ten years earlier under the flapping of my little butterfly wings?
"Yes…"
"Let's call it the Imperial Secret Service's Commander. Third brother, what do you think of this name?”
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and came up with a name for this organization. He turned to look at Zhu Rong with anticipation, like a child waiting for praise.
Err...
He really came out!
The Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was the full name of the famous Embroidered Uniform Guards in the future!
Zhu Xiong was dumbfounded.
He had never expected that the Embroidered Uniform Guards would actually be born in advance by him.
"What's wrong?"
"Third Bro, do you think this name is bad?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong's expression and frowned slightly, thinking that his son was not satisfied with the name of the Jinyiwei Commander.
"No, I didn't!"
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"
"Embroidered Uniform Guards! It sounds very domineering!"
Zhu Rong quickly said, afraid that if he was too late, Zhu Yuanzhang would change his name, and the Jinyiwei, a person who made countless people tremble in fear, would disappear.
"Haha! Of course!"
"Why don't you take a look at who came up with the name!”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head like an old child and revealed a proud expression.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the best!"
Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and couldn't help but find it funny. How old was he? Sometimes, he was still like a child.
Indeed, it was true.
A man is still a teenager until death!
"Father, who do you think is the most suitable to be the commander?”
"As the eyes and ears of the emperor and the royal family, the information they have is extremely important. They have to be 100% trustworthy!”
Zhu Rong asked Zhu Yuanzhang with a solemn expression.
With the memories of his previous life, Zhu Xi knew how much power the Embroidered Uniform Guards would have in the future. If it fell into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it would probably cause trouble.
"Who is suitable?"
"Of course it's you, Third Brother!"
"Since you suggested it, I'll naturally hand it over to you. Moreover, in terms of trust, you're our son. No one is more trustworthy than you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked as if it was a matter of course. The first person he thought of was Zhu Rong.
As the Emperor, he was naturally very clear about the importance of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He was not at ease handing it over to others, so he could only hand it over to his own son.
"Ah?"
"Me?"
"Dad, are you trying to tire me out?？”
"You made me the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army Commandery to lead the Ying Tian Prefecture's troops, then you made me the Assistant Minister of Works to forge weapons and flintlocks, and now you made me the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"Dad, I'm only a thirteen-year-old child!”
"You're exploiting child labor!"
Zhu Rong pointed at his own nose, his expression somewhat stunned.
He had never expected his father to make him the first commander. His face revealed an expression of despair as he stared at Zhu Yuanzhang indignantly.
It was too difficult!
"Hehe, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!”
"You said it yourself!"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his cup and took a sip of tea. He looked at Zhu Rong's indignant expression with a smug expression and felt very good in his heart.
I finally let this kid suffer a loss. Who asked you to laugh at me?
Humph!╭(╯^╰)╮
