After reading this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but feel a little sad."Your Uncle Liao went to the vassal state at a young age. He is only eighteen years old now. Liaodong is bitter and cold. He doesn't have a good fief like your other royal uncles. He only needs to lie in the palace and enjoy it.
Although he is young, the burden I have placed on him is the heaviest. Liaodong is such a bitter place. If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been unable to stand it and beg me to change their fief. However, he, Zhu Zhi, did not. He took care of Liaodong conscientiously, only for the sake of strengthening the country and making the people rich. He guarded the border for our Ming Dynasty. Up until now, he had not even built the Liao King's residence.
Although it was difficult, he did the best among the kings. It was really hard on this child.”
Towards Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt a little guilty.
What he gave to the other vassal kings was always a fief with a good foundation. After becoming a vassal, they could have whatever they wanted.
As for Zhu Zhi, he only gave him Liaodong with nothing.
Liaodong was bitterly cold. After Zhu Zhi became a vassal, he took over a barren land. However, Liaodong had the importance of " the left arm of the capital, China in the west, the Hu bandits in the north, and Korea in the east." No matter how difficult it was, he could only bite the bullet and work on.
However, Zhu Zhi had forcefully used Liaodong's weak foundation to build the Great Ming Fortress of Liaodong Fortress. The current prosperous scene was built with his heart and blood.
Liao King Zhu Zhi was Zhu Yuanzhang's good son.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with love as he continued reading Zhu Zhi's letter.
"The reason why Liaodong is thriving is not because of your son alone, but because of the commander of Liaodong, General Geng Bingwen.”
"Great General Geng is in charge of the central region and has led troops well. Your son has learned from Great General Geng and has gained a lot. Liaodong has such achievements because of Great General Geng alone…"
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen felt that something was wrong. She looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. The kind Old Zhu was now as dark as water.
What did he mean?
Was it all thanks to him, Geng Bingwen, that Liaodong could have such a scene today?
Who was Geng Bingwen!
If it wasn't for the Liao King Zhu Zhi's hard work in building the foundation of Liaodong, would Geng Bingwen be able to sleep soundly in Liaoyang?!
In the end, did Geng Bingwen have any other credit in Liaodong besides obstructing Zhu Zhi?
Liaodong's wars for the past two years were fought by the Liao royal guards. What did it have to do with him, Geng Bingwen?
In the recent battle, Song Sheng led the guards of Guangning Middle School of the Liao Prince's Mansion to the north and beat the Jurchen Tribe to a pulp. This was all the merit of the Liao Prince's Mansion. What did it have to do with Geng Bingwen?
Zhu Zhi's move of " flattery " was effective.
If he said that Liaodong's prosperity was all his work, then Old Zhu would probably only praise him a little, but he would not give him any practical benefits.
However, he praised Geng Bingwen in his family letters, which also caused Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
Old Zhu had no one he could truly trust other than his family. Zhu Zhi's praise naturally attracted Old Zhu's attention.
What did he mean?
Could it be that you, Geng Bingwen, are the only one in Liaodong?
Should I give my throne to you, Geng Bingwen?
Zhu Zhi's flattery was truly a " dirty trick "!
However, this was not the end. There was still another paragraph in Zhu Zhi's letter.
"Your son has thought about it and is still willing to act according to my ability and hand over the power of Liaodong to Great General Geng. General Geng is a rare talent. With him guarding Liaodong, there will be no worries. Your son can just farm in Guangning. I hope Imperial Father will approve.
I wish my father a long life and a long life.
Your son Zhu Zhi reports."
After reading the entire letter, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Handing over the power of Liaodong to Geng Bingwen?
Letting an outsider control King Liao's 200,000-strong army?
"Bastard!"
"Geng Bingwen, you old bastard!" We let him assist Zhi 'er in Liaodong, but he's good, he actually took control of Liaodong and forced our poor Zhi' er into this state!”
"Does Geng Bingwen really think we're blind? For Liaodong to have what it is today, his contribution could be compared to the slightest bit of our Zhi 'er's!”
"Our Zhi 'er has the ability and talent, but, but he's just too young!”Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said angrily,""Because he's too young, he doesn't understand the ways of the world. He was bullied by that old bastard Geng Bingwen and still spoke up for him. My poor Zhi 'er!”
"Grandpa, don't be too angry. Don't hurt your dragon body." Zhu Yunwen comforted him.”
"Not angry? How can we not be angry!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Yunwen's shoulder and said in pain,"Yun Wen, do you know that your uncle Liao has the best relationship with your father?”
"You have to remember that your Uncle Liao is guarding the border for us now, but in the future, he will be guarding the border for you!”
"Geng Bingwen is an outsider, but your Uncle Liao is family. I let Geng Bingwen be the commander of the capital in Liaodong so that he could help your Uncle Liao deal with Liaodong, but I never thought that this outsider would actually ride on my own head!”
"Yun Wen, your uncle Liao King is your future subordinate!”
