[11: Ninth Brother, do you want to become a vassal?]
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard that Zhu Li had agreed to go on a blind date. He could not help but size up his ninth son.
Now, Zhu Li looked as normal as he could be. It seemed that even if his little habit of talking to himself and sometimes daydreaming was true, it had nothing to do with madness.
It seemed that all along, he had taken it for granted and misunderstood this son of his!
In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned marriage was not to test Zhu Li's reaction, because in the simulation of Zhu Yunwen's life last night, he remembered that Zhu Li had a concubine, and she was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Yang Qi.
If the deduction was correct, Zhu Li should have agreed to this marriage.
This time, he agreed!
"Then it's settled. Let's make an appointment with Yang Qi to bring you to see the daughter of the Yang Family.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, looking very happy. Then he called Zhu Li to eat quickly.
Zhu Li was cautious. He felt that today's matter was not that simple.
In his impression, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision could not be questioned or changed. For matters like marriage, he would not discuss it with him. Instead, he would make a decision directly.
Zhu Li himself did not believe that this meal was to discuss marriage.
"Oh right, Ninth Brother, other than your big brother, your other brothers went to their own vassals before you returned to the capital. You brothers have never met each other, have you ever been curious?”
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine and suddenly changed the topic.
He was here!
I knew it wasn't that simple!
This involved the vassal king again!
Zhu Li, who was already on guard, felt a chill in his heart."Replying to Imperial Father, your son has great respect for my brothers. Naturally, I am curious.”
"Oh? Then what do you think of Fourth Bro?"
The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth immediately curled up.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu Li had behaved appropriately and spoke in an orderly manner. He wanted to hear what Zhu Li would say about Zhu Di.
Zhu Li was full of question marks.
Nanny?
Why are you asking me for my opinion of the King of Yan?
Is this still the Zhu Yuanzhang I know?
Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang already suspected that Old Fourth Zhu was going to rebel?
But even so, there was no reason to ask him!
"Replying to Imperial Father, Fourth Brother is guarding Beiping and is good at both civil and martial arts. In terms of ability, your son is far inferior to Fourth Brother, so I naturally admire him.”
Zhu Li braced himself and replied.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart.
You're far inferior to your fourth brother?
Don't beat your fourth brother up in the future and still lie to me?
If I didn't see the scene of you and Fourth Brother fighting in Yun Wen's life last night, I would have believed you!
This Ninth Brother, is he playing tricks on us?
It seemed that not only was Old Jiu not stupid, but he was also very scheming. No wonder we all fell for his trap. All these years, we all thought that there was something wrong with his brain.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang even blamed Zhu Li for being stupid.
Who asked this kid to play tricks on him?
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's half-smiling eyes, Zhu Li's hair stood on end.
"Senior Zhuge, what do you think father means by saying this?”
Helpless, Zhu Li could only ask Zhuge Liang for advice.
"Perhaps he sensed that you weren't really crazy, so he was testing you. This is a good opportunity for you to clear your name. It's not a bad thing.”
"At the very least, I can feel that the Emperor has no ill intentions towards you.”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Is it like this?"
Hearing this, Zhu Li felt much more at ease.
"Sigh, I'm already old. I've also worked hard for the Zhu family's Great Ming Empire for my entire life. When I enter the land, our Great Ming's borders will still have to rely on you brothers to guard!”
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang gulped down a cup of wine and sighed.
Zhu Li heard this and thought to himself.
Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang thinking too well?
If Zhu Biao doesn't die, it's fine. Once he dies, which of your sons will be obedient?
It wasn't an invasion that defeated your grandson, but the vassal king you were so proud of!
When you enter the earth, Zhu Lao Si will be the first to lead a rebellion. Wouldn't you die with regrets?
At this moment, Zhu Li did not know that he would be the first to rebel in the future…
"Don't worry, father. I don't dare to say anything about the other brothers, but as long as big brother needs me, I, Zhu Li, will be the first to guard the country for him.”
Zhu Li promised without batting an eyelid. In fact, he was testing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
"Ninth Brother, you've only had two glasses and you're already talking nonsense? I'm very assured of you brothers, don't let your imagination run wild.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was sneering in his heart.
If it was in the past, he would have believed it.
But now that he knew Yun Wen's future, it would be weird if he believed it!
I don't know if the others will rebel, but you, Old Nine, are the first to rebel!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt somewhat helpless.
Because in his life, if Zhu Yunwen hadn't been too ruthless and didn't give Zhu Li a way out, Zhu Li would never have rebelled.
As for Prince Yan Zhu Di, he was not sure.
In other words, Zhu Li's rebellion was completely forced out by Zhu Yunwen.
"The old emperor is trying to get information out of you. Why do I feel like he knows that the King of Yan might rebel in the future?”
Zhuge Liang's voice sounded in Zhu Li's mind again.
"The one who understands his son the most is definitely his father. Father might not be unable to see through the ambition of Prince Yan Zhu Di. However, when Zhu Biao was still alive, he could still suppress the King of Yan. If it was Zhu Yunwen, she would not be able to suppress it anymore.”
"Even before my father passed away, he should have thought of this.”
"Otherwise, when he passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen, he would not have warned him not to cut his vassal.”
"Because if the vassal states are cut, the vassal kings will definitely rebel, especially the King of Yan!”
Zhu Li analyzed.
"Then what did he mean by asking you? Have you thought about it?”
Zhuge Liang reminded.
Hearing this, Zhu Li's heart trembled.
That's right, why didn't the other vassal kings ask, but chose to ask the fourth brother, who was the easiest to cause trouble?
"Ninth Brother, do you want to become a vassal?”
Just as Zhu Li was bewildered, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him and asked with a smile.
Yes!
Even in his dreams!
If he had a choice, Zhu Li would rather be a salted fish king in the vassal state than live in fear in the imperial palace under the eyes of others every day.
Wasn't it nice to be the king of Xiaoyao?
If he could tell the truth, Zhu Li would definitely shout out his inner thoughts.
However, he knew very well that this was another round of probing by Zhu Yuanzhang.
What was going on today?
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang so interested in him and even tried every means to get information from him?
