" What?!"
Song Lian looked at Zhu Biao in disbelief, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his ears!
Would it kill him to disturb the princess's sleep?
What kind of fatuous and immoral behavior was this!
Only King Zhou of Shang could do that, right?
He had been an official in the imperial court for more than twenty years, but he had never experienced such a ridiculous thing!
He had a sullen expression on his face. It was really difficult for him to understand and agree with what Zhu Biao had just said!
What did he mean by waking up Princess Bao Qing meant that he would die? Was the princess's sleep more important than the country's affairs? This was simply nonsense!
At the thought of this, Song Lian's heart burned with rage!
Even if he had to die today, he had to go and talk to Zhu Yuanzhang!
No matter how much he doted on Princess Bao Qing, he could not delay the state affairs!
It had only been fifteen years since the founding of the country and such a thing had happened. What should Great Ming do in the future? Wouldn't it be a mess?
Then this so-called Princess Baoqing was a demoness who could confuse the world!
As the ruler of a country, how could Zhu Yuanzhang be so muddle-headed? Song Lian's temper flared up and he wanted to risk his life to barge into the hall to scold him awake!
To him, his own life and death had long been disregarded. It was far less important than the people and the country!
On the contrary, if he died because of this, he would leave his name in history!
Zhu Biao also knew his teacher's stubborn temper. At this moment, his face was just short of writing the words 'generous death!'
He was worried that Song Lian was too stubborn and would continue to court death in a heat of the moment. If he angered his father at this time, he would definitely die if he said another word!
After all, Song Lian was indeed an honest and good official. It would be a pity if he died in vain!
Hence, Zhu Biao thought of something and pulled Song Lian back."Teacher, calm down for the time being. You should also know Father's nature. He is not a fatuous tyrant. The reason why we are doing this is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!”
He thought to himself that the Devil Ox Body Refining Technique and the Devil Dragon Breathing Technique were indeed enough to ensure the eternal stability of the Great Ming Dynasty for a thousand years!
Therefore, the rest of his niece was indeed related to the fate of the country.
The most important thing was that behind Nan Nan was her younger brother, the Great Ming's Holy Lord!
Saying this to Song Lian today wasn't considered a lie.
Hearing this, Song Lian was suspicious. He glanced at Zhu Di and said,""Your Highness, this old man has eaten a lot of food. Don't make up a story to deceive this old man.”
It was just a princess sleeping. What did this have to do with the country?
He was old, not stupid!
Zhu Biao didn't explain further. Instead, he mysteriously pointed at the sky above him!
"Heavens?"
Song Lian was stunned for a moment before he reacted!
There were only two people in Da Ming who could be called the heavens!
One was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang!
The second was the Holy Lord from the Heavens, Zhu Heng!
Princess Baoqing's background seemed to be that person's daughter!
After all, he was an old official who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang since his early years. He knew that the battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty and establish the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was done by the Second Prince Zhu Heng!
Thinking of this, the anger in his heart instantly disappeared!
Because if it was really that person, then it was indeed a matter of great benefit to the country and the people. So what if Prince Jin beat him up again?
If his actions just now had affected this matter, then he really deserved to die!
He felt lucky and bowed to Zhu Biao,""This old official thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince. This old official's recklessness almost caused a great disaster and became the Great Ming's eternal sinner!”
Seeing him like this, Zhu Biao also smiled faintly and praised,"Sir, you are full of righteousness and righteousness, demonstrating my great strength of character.”
Song Lian hurriedly waved his hand." The Crown Prince is too polite. I am ashamed, so I will take my leave first."”
After saying that, he bowed to Zhu Biao once again and turned to leave.
This scene was witnessed by the people in the palace. The eunuchs, palace maids, and guards who witnessed it were all extremely shocked!
In order not to disturb Princess Baoqing's sleep, even this old minister had to be beaten up when he came to see her!
The news of Song Lian seeking an audience with Zhu Yuanzhang but being beaten up was also spread by the spies planted in the palace by the various forces in the court. For a time, many people with power in the Ming Dynasty received this news.
...............
In the Prime Minister's residence.
The study was brightly lit.
Hu Weiyong and Jin Zhouzhe sat in front of the table with a frown. He looked at the piece of paper in his hand with a complicated expression.
Although the Second Prince Zhu Heng had yet to return, he could already feel a storm brewing and a dark cloud pressing down on the city!
He had not even returned, but he was already so favored. It was truly unprecedented!
He also knew that he could not let the situation develop like this. Otherwise, he could only wait for death!
He had to think of a way to deal with it!
Since Zhu Heng had not returned yet, this was the best time to set up a trap.
Now that Zhu Heng had already brought so much pressure to the officials in the court, if he really returned, the situation would be unimaginable!
Hu Weiyong frowned and thought deeply. A figure appeared in his mind, and that was the founding merit of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Korea, Lee Shanchang.
Li Shanchang's wisdom and strategy were superb, and he was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as a great talent comparable to Xiao He!
Moreover, he had been assisting Zhu Yuanzhang ever since he was a Red Turban under Guo Zixing. He had even been Zhu Heng's teacher for a period of time! It could be said that he had watched Zhu Heng grow up!
Therefore, he was the person who understood Zhu Heng the most besides Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Zhu Heng was born with a strange phenomenon, he was only mediocre in the beginning. It was only during the battle of Poyang Lake that he showed his extraordinary performance. Perhaps there was some special rule that restricted Zhu Heng.
If he could grasp it, wouldn't he have grasped Zhu Heng's weakness?
Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong's slightly uneasy heart calmed down again.
He was very confident because as long as he was a human, he would definitely have a weakness, and those with weaknesses could be defeated!
"Zhu Heng?" Hu Weiyong sneered. Holy Master? Everything that stands in my way will be erased by me!”
....................
Crown Prince Manor.
Because Zhu Di had shut himself in, the Crown Princess, Lady Lu, had been making arrangements everywhere in the palace and had planted her own spies. Now, she also knew the news from the palace.
She clenched the note in her hand tightly, her face very gloomy.
The emperor, crown prince, and princes were all waiting at the door for Princess Baoqing to wake up. This was simply too ridiculous!
Even the eldest son, Zhu Xiongying, would not receive such treatment!
Zhu Yunwen saw her mother's gloomy face and hid in a corner, trembling in fear.
"What is the basis of all this?”
Madam Lu roared angrily, tearing the paper in her hand into pieces and throwing it into the furnace.
If it was someone else, she would not have been so flustered.
After all, she was a girl, so she couldn't threaten her son Zhu Yunwen's status as the imperial grandson.
However, the most important thing was that she was that person's daughter. With her status, she might not be able to do so in the future.
She might become the new empress!
