If this was before, Guo Ying would have agreed without hesitation and then copied down the contents of the conversation and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang in the capital.
Although he had chosen the Liao Prince's mansion, his loyalty was still to Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, it was different now. A life-saving grace was better than having a second parent. Zhu Zhi had saved his life, so he, Guo Ying, was a loyal supporter of Prince Liao's residence.
What's more, his daughter was the Liao Princess Consort and his son was also working for the Liao Prince's residence. He had also been working for the Liao Prince's residence.
Marquis Wuding, who had been a famous general since the founding of the country, had never encountered such a difficult choice in his life.
On one side was Old Zhu, whom he had devoted his entire life to. On the other hand, it was Zhu Zhi, the future backer of the Guo family who saved his life.
"I will resign from all my duties in the capital and write a letter to Your Majesty to inform him that Yu Sheng will be staying in the Liao King's estate.”
In the end, Guo Ying still chose Zhu Zhi.
If he had chosen Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhi, Guo Ying might have chosen Zhu Yuanzhang in the end.
But now, he chose Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Yunwen was far inferior to the king of Liao.

Capital, Palace of Heavenly Purity
Emperor Hongwu, who had once overthrown the tyranny of Northern Yuan and dominated the north and south, was old.
He was already white-haired and had entered his twilight years.
This white-haired old man sat on the throne of the dragon carving that symbolized the ruler of the world and dozed off. Perhaps once he closed his eyes, it would be forever. However, the domineering aura on his body was not present at all. He was like a sleeping dragon. Every breath would involve the myriad changes of Da Ming.
He was Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu, the supreme ruler who established the great cause of the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, there's a letter from Liaodong.”
Dressed in black light armor, the Shadow Servant with an iron mask on his face held a document in his hand and stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any personal eunuchs around him. In his era, eunuchs had the lowest status in history. Besides his family, there was only one kind of person around him-the Shadow Servant.
These were people who would never appear in history. They were like Zhu Yuanzhang's shadows, omnipresent but invisible. The officials in the court feared the Embroidered Uniform Guards like tigers, but they did not know that the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards feared the Shadow Servants like tigers.
"Mm…is it Guo Si or Zhi 'er?”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes. Although his eyes were cloudy due to his age, his domineering aura was even more domineering.
"Reporting to the superior, it is a letter from Marquis Wuding.”the Shadow Servant replied.
Guo Si was the nickname of Marquis Wuding Guo Ying. And now, the only person who could still be called Guo Si was Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Hand it over."
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the document and glanced at it casually. Then, his eyes gradually became solemn.
After a long time, he sighed and waved his hand."Let him be."
"Guo Si has fought more than 500 battles in his life. He has suffered more than 70 serious injuries and countless minor injuries.”
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the document and said to himself,""Yes, heroes will also grow old. Even I'm old, he, Guo Si, will also be old one day. He just didn't expect that it was Zhi 'er who saved him.”
"Is this considered repaying a favor? Perhaps, Guo Si is a person who values friendship. Back then, I took in the Guo brothers, and he, Guo Si, fought for me for his entire life.”
"On Zhi 'er's side, will there be any problems? It shouldn't be. When Biao 'er was still around, he was Biao' er's closest brother. The layout of Liaodong could not be messed up. With Zhi 'er's ability, she could stay in Liaodong and defend the border. It's just that he lacks a good general under him. If Guo Si stays behind to help him, we can rest assured about our layout in Liaodong.”
"Forget it, forget it. Liaodong is a bitter and cold place. It wasn't easy for Zhi 'er to be conscientious and conscientious for so many years. Until now, he doesn't even have a decent wangfu. Geng Bingwen, this old thing, didn't know how to give way to Zhi 'er. Liaodong was so big, could his old bones guard it? The one who really wanted to take over the Liaodong team was still Zhi' er.”
“……”
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang said many things, but they were all talking to himself.
But in the end, he still issued an edict, allowing Marquis Wuding Guo Ying to stay in the Liao King's residence, but removing all his duties outside Liaodong.
This was Emperor Hong Wu's method. No matter how sentimental he was, all his actions had to be considered from the perspective of the Great Ming Emperor.
Guo Ying wanted to stay in Liaodong?
Alright, then you can stay in Liaodong for the rest of your life.
The descendants of the Guo family must not take a step out of Liaodong and be loyal to the Liao King's residence!
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent another imperial edict to the Liaodong general Geng Bingwen. He used rare vernacular, like an old friend catching up.
"Geng Bingwen, you old bastard, can you manage Liaodong by yourself? Do you really intend to trap the Liao King in the western part of Liaodong? Are you the Liao King or is my son the Liao King?”
This Dao decree almost scared Geng Bingwen silly. He didn't expect that the Great Emperor's temper would still be so bad at his old age. Even the decree was so wild.
