Zhu Biao Was Shocked, Father Wanted Old Nine to Attack Mobei?
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Zhu Biao completely dumbfounded.
What had triggered his father?
Even his brain was not normal?
Wasn't he just brooding over the fact that Zhu Yunwen killed his ninth brother in the dream?
Why did he want to send Ninth Brother to the battlefield?
Did he think that Ninth Brother was not going to die fast enough?
Zhu Yuanzhang's stubbornness made Zhu Biao anxious.
Even though he knew that his actions would definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy, there were some words that he, as the Crown Prince, had to say!
"Imperial Father, your son begs you for the sake of the people of the world!”
"The people of Great Ming still haven't had enough to eat!”
"Your son will not stop your idea of the Northern Expedition, but you have to consider the people, right?”
"Is it possible to let the commoners have their fill before the Northern Expedition?”
Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang turn around and was about to leave. He immediately knelt down and begged him in a sorrowful tone.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his nose almost went crooked!
This Crown Prince was using the commoners to threaten him!
From the meaning of these words, if we insist on the northern expedition, we don't care about the lives of the people, right?
"Get up. What are you doing?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was both angry and distressed.
He was most worried about Crown Prince Zhu Biao's health, so he didn't dare to let this kid get too excited. He quickly went up and pulled him up.
He had not expected that he would have such a huge disagreement with the Crown Prince because of the matter of letting Ninth Brother go to the north!
This was simply tit-for-tat!
"Is Imperial Father going to retract his order?"
Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly.
"Sigh…Biao Er, you don't understand.”
"The northern expedition is of great importance. It won't be a matter of a day to feed the commoners!”
"Do you know how many people of our Ming Dynasty suffer because the border is often harassed by the Tartars and the Wala tribes?”
"That's right. Ninth Brother can indeed intimidate those Wala people, but he can only guard one place!”
"Do you expect Ninth Brother to guard the northern defense line alone?”
"If Northern Yuan is not eliminated, the people of the Ming Dynasty will never have enough to eat!”
Zhu Yuanzhang explained helplessly.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao also fell silent.
He had to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns were right.
No matter how powerful Zhu Li was, he could only defend a city when he became a general!
If he wanted to settle this once and for all, he could only take the initiative to attack.
However, he still insisted on his own point of view. It was indeed not suitable to use troops at this time. They had to slow down!
"How about this? I promise you that I will consider it carefully.”
"If you are still worried, we can let the ministers discuss it together. Why do you have to sing a different tune in front of us?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's unmoved expression and could only take a step back. He did not say anything.
When Zhu Biao heard this, the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed.
Because he believed that the ministers would not support the idea of another northern expedition.
No!
In order to stop Zhu Yuanzhang, he still had to communicate with Lan Yu and the others!
He had to get all the ministers to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to give up on this idea!
Thus, after parting with Zhu Yuanzhang in the imperial garden, Zhu Biao immediately summoned a few scholars, Lan Yu, and other generals.
As the Crown Prince, Zhu Biao had the same authority as Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Biao told them that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to send Zhu Li to the Northern Expedition, everyone was shocked.
"His Majesty has been really abnormal recently!”
"During the morning court these days, I felt that His Majesty was absent-minded and always distracted. His complexion did not look too good either!”
Lan Yu said with a bitter smile.
The other ministers nodded in agreement.
There were also nightmares about the King of Qin being poisoned to death, the King of Xiang burning himself to death, and the King of Han dying. Zhu Yuanzhang actually directly shouted them out.
Had the emperor not thought about what the vassal kings would think if his words reached their ears?
"Moreover, we will definitely not support the Northern Expedition.”
"Big Ming has just stabilized.”
"We've already gone on a northern expedition once, chasing the Tartars to the Fish-Catching Sea, but didn't we still fail to achieve the desired effect?”
"After we left, those Tartars came back!”
"Moreover, a northern expedition is a waste of manpower and money!”
"The amount of silver and resources required is not a small amount!”
Lan Yu laughed bitterly.
Lan Yu's battle merits were indeed indelible, but if the weeds were not uprooted, they would grow again with the spring breeze!
Once Lan Yu left, the Tatars began to rally and harass the border again!
Unless Lan Yu brought the army to guard the border and never came back!
But was this possible?
Therefore, after the incident of Blue Jade's Northern Expedition, all the officials in the court felt that although this matter seemed to be glorious and had won a great victory, in reality, it did not have much use. As time passed, the little use it had would disappear.
Was it appropriate to waste manpower and money for such a situation?
"That's what we said, but the problem is that Imperial Father said that Ninth Brother has the ability to be completely ruthless!”
"He's counting on Ninth Brother's northern expedition to wipe out all the Wala people!”
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
Upon hearing this, the Huaixi nobles and civil officials present were in an uproar.
Destroy Wala directly?
Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang thinking too highly of Zhu Li, the King of Han?
On the contrary, only Blue Jade fell silent when she heard this.
……
At this moment, Zhu Li, the King of Han, was sitting on the deck of the bow of the ship, thousands of miles away. He was fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.
At this moment, Zhu Li touched his burning ears and revealed a helpless expression.
She didn't know what had happened recently, but her ears had been burning up!
"Are those civil servants talking about me behind my back?”
Zhu Li muttered softly.
Qin Wu, who was guarding at the side, was also speechless.
How could he tell that someone was talking about him behind his back just because his ears were burning?
Wasn't this a little too f * cking evil?
Why had he never felt this way before?
He was probably on fire!
As he thought about it, Zhu Li couldn't help but laugh.
He suddenly remembered a joke that was invented in later society.
"There are always unruly people who want to harm me!"
He suddenly realized that with the protagonist's halo, it was especially easy to be remembered!
As a transmigrator and with the system's magical split personality function, he was naturally the protagonist of this world.
It seemed that being the main character was not that easy!
"How long before we return to Hanzhong?"
Zhu Li asked Qin Wu.
"Replying to your highness, it will take at least ten days.”
"We can reach Kai County in about seven days. From there, we can return to Hanzhong in about two days.”
Qin Wu hurriedly calculated the distance and time before replying.
"Soon!"
"I'm going back to that familiar place!”
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's emotional voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Li's mind.
