Yingtian Capital City.
"Good!"
"Our Second Brother did a beautiful job!"
"As expected of our son. This decisive personality!”
"It really makes me shocked!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the military report that Xu Da had once again submitted, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Zhu Xiong's methods were vicious, but in fact, it was exactly what he wanted. When he led a group of fierce generals to revolt, he also killed Northern Yuan without mercy, so he was quite satisfied with this son of his.
"Father."
" Second Brother killed 20,000 Northern Yuan soldiers, including Consort Qin's brother, Kuokuo Timur. He also forced them to commit suicide. The remaining captives were all sent to the Great Wall, and he didn't treat them as humans at all. He gave them food to eat and let them work until they died.”
"This doesn't conform to the rules of the Saints!"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. His second brother was too murderous, so much so that the entire court was criticizing him. This time, his mentor, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen from the Eastern Zhejiang Party actually jointly wrote a letter. This was a big trouble.
"Boss."
"I'm going to talk to you about this. Other than doing a good job, your second brother is only beautiful!”
"Think about how those alien races treat our people!”
"Do you think Second Brother is too much?"
"Our Zhu family was born in the volunteer army. You and Second Brother were also born when we were fighting against the Yuan Dynasty. If you want to be a benevolent ruler, your father will support you. However, you must not be without any courage. This is a great taboo for a ruler!”
"Damn it!"
"Besides, can't you tell?"
"What a blockhead!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said,"My second son is defiling himself to reassure the officials in the court. If he can have such a murderous nature, we will not make him the emperor. Therefore, he is also doing this for you. If not for this, his subordinates are as many as clouds, why would he need to personally wield the sword?”
"Second Brother has put in a lot of effort!"
"Biao Er is ashamed!"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao's face was filled with shame. He did not blame his younger brother, but he did not want his younger brother to embark on the path of a murderous maniac. However, he did not expect that this was also a means to protect him. To be able to force the Eastern Zhejiang Party and Huaixi Xungui to jointly submit a letter, this was also an attitude!
"You are the Great Saint of our Zhu Clan!”
"Isn't our second brother a saint?”
"You two are twin dragons. You should know our second brother the best.”
"If he didn't value this kinship.”
"With the courage and tyranny in his heart!”
"If we don't give it to Second Brother, Second Brother will reach out and snatch it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head lightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. Zhu Rong's wings had long since grown after he had suppressed the rebellion in Shandong. The civil and military officials under him were not inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's when he had rebelled.
Judging from the military talent displayed today, if his second son really wanted the throne, he did not have to lower himself to anyone. Just the arrogance in his bones could make everyone lower their heads!
Everyone was afraid of Zhu Xiong!
Only Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
They could clearly feel the kinship. Whether it was as a son or as a brother, Zhu Xiong was using his own methods to protect this kinship. This was the hard-earned kinship of the royal family, two brothers in one lifetime.
"Yes."
"I understand. The second son values power more, but when it comes to brothers and children, the second son values them less. If it weren't for me, his eldest brother, he would be the best heir to the empire!”
Zhu Biao's lips curled up into a bitter smile. He was also helpless. Unfortunately, his body was weak and he couldn't fight on the battlefield. He couldn't live and die with Zhu Xiong. This was the most regretful thing in his life!
"Look at you two brothers."
"It really hurts to the bone.”
"This is a letter from our second son. Take a look for yourself!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up with a loving light. In front of a decisive emperor like him, there was still a trace of pure land in his heart. His two sons and Empress Ma were the most important protectors in his heart. For this, he would do anything!
"My brother personally opens it!"
"My brother Zhu Xi knows that he has committed a heinous crime and no longer has the face to stay in the court. He is willing to go to the vassal territory to guard the border for the country, defend the territory for you, and expand the territory for you. Please allow me to go to the vassal territory.”
Zhu Biao's eyes became moist for some reason. He then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with determination and said with a murderous expression,"Second brother can't go to the vassal state, and he's not wrong. If there's anyone in the court who disagrees, kill them!”
"Good!"
"This is our good son!"
"Our Second Brother didn't do anything wrong. Why should he admit his mistake?”
"Tyrannical!"
"Who can compare to our Old Zhu!"
"It's just a hammer clan!"
"Our second son is a virtuous king. If he doesn't leave Jing to assist you, it will be the greatest loss. It will also let those officials understand that this Great Ming is ultimately the Great Ming of our Zhu family. Our Old Zhu is not so old that he can't lift a knife!”
Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed out loud. He was extremely satisfied at this moment. Zhu Biao had indeed inherited some of his killing intent. A benevolent ruler of a generation should have iron-blooded methods. If there were any unconvinced people, they would be killed!
At this moment, at the border of Tongguan, where the Great Ming Army was stationed!
"General."
"I've already thought it through. I'll resign from my title and follow you to Beiping. I'll make contributions and guard the border!”
Deng Zhen looked at Zhu Rong, who was standing outside the tent, and immediately knelt down on one knee."Without General, I, Deng Zhen, would not be where I am today. How can a mere title of Duke of Wei compare to the brotherhood of General? I am willing to go through fire and water for General until I die!”
"I, Chang Sheng, am the same!"
"Moreover, although my elder brother is mischievous, he also inherited my father's title, so I don't have a title to receive. But even if I do, I don't care. Military merits have to be earned by myself. I'm willing to go through fire and water for the general!”
Chang Sheng also instantly knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu He. Their titles were not important, nor were their identities. What was important was that the person in front of them was a confidant and a good friend. If not for this King of Qi Zhu He, they would still be the disciples of Huaixi waiting for death!
"I am Li Jinglong!"
"General Xu Yungong!"
"I also swear to follow the general to the death. I'm willing to live and die with the general!”
Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong looked at each other and knelt down on one knee.
"Good!"
"Then let me lead my brothers to guard the border for my Great Ming!”
"I swear an oath with my brothers!"
"I won't violate the law!"
"I won't violate the military law!"
"I won't let you down!"
"I won't betray you!"
"In the future, when you make contributions on the battlefield, you will definitely not be a person who kills a donkey when it's done grinding!”
"I wish you all the best in obtaining the title of nobility and bringing glory to your family!”
A heroic look flashed across Zhu Rong's eyes. This little butterfly of his would eventually leave a heavy mark in the history of the Great Ming Dynasty and change the fate of countless people. Just like these brothers in front of him, how many of them would have a good ending in the future? However, it was different now!
Because he was here!
This Great Ming Dynasty would not be in chaos!
