The Most Heartless Imperial Family!
After being emperor for so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang could see through the thoughts of his sons and his officials.
The only people he couldn't see through or grasp were probably less than a handful, including this Old Nine!
This Ninth Brother seemed to be very aggressive and arrogant. He didn't know how to hide himself at all. Such a personality could easily bring him a fatal disaster!
However, his intuition told him that Old Nine was not as simple as he thought.
Just the aura that he had just felt from his body made even Zhu Yuanzhang feel shocked.
It could be said that apart from him, the emperor, none of the other sons could suppress Zhu Li in terms of imposing manner.
Perhaps Zhu Biao could suppress Zhu Li with his big brother's imposing manner, but could he really do it?
Zhu Yuanzhang was conflicted about how to deal with Zhu Li.
When he thought of Zhu Li killing all the Brocade Guards he had sent to Hanzhong, he could not help but feel angry!
He had even thought of directly stripping Old Nine of his military power and crippling him, the King of Han!
It was also because this kid's surname was Zhu that he endured it again and again and could not bear to make a move!
If it were any other emperor, Zhu Li would have been killed long ago!
More importantly, Ninth Brother's talent in war was extraordinary. Even when he was young, he could not compare to him. He was also the only one among the many vassal kings who could suppress Lan Yu!
The Northern Territory still needed Ninth Brother to hold the fort and deter the restless Wala people!
If he really took away his military power, who would defend the Northern Territory?
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang had thought that if his eldest brother, Zhu Biao, became the emperor in the future, he would work with his ninth brother. One would be in charge of the internal affairs, and the other would be in charge of the external affairs. Then, Zhu Biao would be very comfortable as the emperor.
The Hongwu period when Zhu Yuanzhang reigned was not considered a golden age, but the second emperor definitely had the conditions to create a golden age!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife!
But if Boss was really gone, who could suppress Ninth Brother?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of the dream deduction from last night. He was still in a state of disbelief!
But what if it was true?
Could he still keep Old Nine?
If Biao Er was no longer around, if Old Jiu really rebelled, who could suppress him?
Could Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Yunhao, these two little kids, be Zhu Li's opponent?
If something really happened to Boss, then the only way to solve the problem was to limit the military power in Old Nine's hands as much as possible!
He could let him go back to Hanzhong, but he had to take care of the issue of military power!
As a vassal king, Ninth Brother was rather special. Other than his 10,000-odd personal guards, almost all the other imperial court generals and soldiers in Hanzhong were under his control.
Every time the Wala people attacked, even the imperial court army would obey Zhu Li's command unconditionally. They did not even need his permission as the emperor!
After all, the Northern Territory was too far away from the Ying Tian Manor!
If a war really broke out, by the time he gave the order to Zhu Li in the Ying Tian Prefecture, the war would have already ended.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's control over military power had always been relatively loose for the vassal kings of the frontier fortress. Basically, he had let these sons control it themselves.
But now that he thought about it, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel terrified!
Once Zhu Li, the King of Han, rebelled, the first to suffer would be the King of Qin, the King of Ba, and the King of Shu around Hanzhong!
Once this snowball started rolling, it would not be easy to deal with!
It was not an exaggeration to say that Ninth Brother was extremely powerful in the northwestern Hanzhong region!
He even dared to kill the Embroidered Uniform Guards, what else did he not dare to do?
No!
He couldn't let Ninth Brother continue like this!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly clenched his fists, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes!
If he really had to use his own son as an example, he really could not bear to do it!
If Ninth Brother was really gone, what would happen to the northwest?
One had to know that the peace in the northwest region for the past few years was all won by Ninth Brother!
Relying on King Qin and King Su was definitely not enough!
However, he could restrict Zhu Li while strengthening the King of Qin and the other surrounding vassal kings. At the same time, he could also strengthen the strength of the imperial court army in the northwest!
Originally, Lan Yu was in charge of the northwest, but ever since Zhu Li became a vassal, Lan Yu was mainly in charge of the north and southwest.
Or he could directly send Blue Jade to Shaanxi and Gan, which could also be used to restrain Zhu Li!
At this moment, perhaps this was the only way to compromise.
"Your Majesty, Li 'er made a mistake. It was ChenQie who did not teach him well.”
"If Your Majesty has resentment in his heart, I dare not complain about how to deal with Li 'er.”
"But since it was your mother who did not teach you well, ChenQie must also be responsible!”
"When Your Majesty decides to punish me, please punish me as well!”
At this moment, Noble Consort Zhou's voice suddenly rang out.
She had been observing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. When she saw a sharp glint flash in his eyes and his expression was uncertain, she had a bad feeling.
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses when he heard this. He had almost forgotten that Noble Consort Zhou, his mother, was still beside him!
What was this?
What did he mean by his mother did not teach him well?
Even the mother should be punished?
Then wouldn't he be guilty as a father?
As the saying goes, father and son should not be raised!
Was this a slap to his face?
"A loving mother spoils her son. Just spoil this brat!”
"Yun Wen and Yun Ren stay, the rest of you can leave!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Noble Consort Zhou. If he didn't know this woman's character, just based on her insinuating threats, Zhu Yuanzhang would have lost his temper on the spot.
Did she really think that he couldn't bear to punish her?
Damn, he really couldn't bear to part with it!
Upon hearing this, Lady Lu glanced at Noble Consort Zhou without batting an eyelid and retreated.
"ChenQie will take her leave."
Noble Consort Zhou also turned around and left.
"Sigh…this mother and son pair are so annoying!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Noble Consort Zhou's departing figure and sighed helplessly.
On the other side, Zhu Li left the Hall of Heaven Tribute. Under the gaze of the officials, he entered the sedan chair and returned to the Self-examination Residence.
"Why is father so cold to me?”
Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhu Li clenched his fists.
In his memory, Zhu Yuanzhang used to like this prince because of Zhu Li's outstanding martial arts skills!
Now that he had gone to his fief and helped the court maintain peace in the northwest for several years, even if he killed a few Brocade Guards, Zhu Yuanzhang should not be so cold!
As for the impeachment of the other vassal kings and ministers, could Zhu Yuanzhang not tell that they had ulterior motives?
When he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's cold gaze just now, his heart felt very uncomfortable!
Compared to the loving look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes when he looked at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu, the difference was even greater!
Was it because these two kids were the sons of his big brother, Zhu Biao?!
This was really the most ruthless imperial family!
