"Benwang saw from the military register that you haven't even reached seventeen years old yet. To be promoted to the Garrison Guard and lead ten thousand troops at the age of sixteen is unprecedented in my Great Ming.”
"This king hopes that you can uphold the heart of serving the country and continue to fight for the country.”
Zhu Di said to Zhu Xiong.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness."
"I'm willing to go through fire and water for Great Ming.”Zhu Xiong immediately expressed his stance.
"Alright."
"Next, let's discuss how to continue marching towards Northern Yuan.”Zhu Di smiled.
……
Yingtian Prefecture!
In the Town Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting while Zhu Biao stood in front of him.
"Father."
"Ever since Hu Weiyong's party was completely dealt with, the Prime Minister's position has been vacant.”
"Does Imperial Father have other considerations for the position of Prime Minister?”Zhu Biao asked.
"Biao Er, what do you think we have to consider?”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"Imperial Father should not be preparing to set up the position of Prime Minister anymore.”Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then said.
"Hahaha."
"As expected of our son. He really knows what I'm thinking.”
"Biao Er, you're right."
"We don't want the Prime Minister anymore.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly. He was very excited by Zhu Biao's words.
"After Hu Weiyong's incident, he monopolized power and won over the officials, causing endless trouble.”
"The Prime Minister's authority is too great. Now that Father is here, he can still control it, but if he arrives in the future, it will definitely become an even greater trouble.”Zhu Biao said.
"It's good that you understand, Biao 'er." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
"But why hasn't Father announced it yet? Are you waiting for the outcome of the war in the Northern Territory?”Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
"Abolishing the Prime Minister's position is of great importance. We must have a great victory that can suppress all opposition in the court. Destroying Northern Yuan is a great victory, enough to shut up those who are eyeing the Prime Minister's position in the court.”
"Biao 'er, the position of Prime Minister is a big fat piece of meat. Who knows how many people are eyeing it.”Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"Your son understands." Zhu Biao nodded.
"Fourth Bro, you won't disappoint me.”Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance and said faintly.
"Ever since Fourth Brother opened his residence, he has entered the army to train. He has experienced many battles at a young age. His ability is unquestionable. Moreover, Father has sent General Fu as Fourth Brother's deputy.”Zhu Biao was also very confident in his fourth brother.
At this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his tone and said with a hint of longing,""Counting the time, there are still 19 days before Xiong Ying turns 17.”
"Yes, I am."
"Seventeen years old."
"Mother and Xiong Ying have already left us for nine years.”Zhu Biao's face was also filled with sadness.
To Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, the closest people were their wives and mother, as well as their grandson and son.
Mentioning the dead.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son fell silent.
After so many years, they obviously could not forget it completely.
"Ahem…"
Zhu Biao suddenly coughed violently, his face turning pale.
"Biao Er, what happened to you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, whose face had suddenly turned pale, and asked worriedly.
"I'm…I'm fine."
"I just caught a cold." Zhu Biao forced a smile and waved his hand.
"Biao 'er, you must take care of your health. You're the only one we have now.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with concern.
"Don't worry, Imperial Father. I'm fine." Zhu Biao was touched.
At this moment.
"Report."
"Reporting to the Emperor."
"Eight hundred li of urgent news has arrived in the capital.”
A young Embroidered Uniform Guard wearing a flying fish robe walked into the hall. He was the new Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Meng.
Previously, Mao Xiang was also implicated in Hu Weiyong's case and was eventually dealt with.
"Alright, alright."
"Looks like Fourth Brother is going to give us a surprise.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly.
"Imperial Father, with such good news, we will naturally gather the officials.”Zhu Biao smiled.
"Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Jiang He, immediately summon all the officials for a discussion.”Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"I accept your decree." Jiang Meng immediately retreated.
Not long after.
Inside the Hall of Heavenly Tribute.
All the officials gathered.
Zhu Yuanzhang also changed into a dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne. Crown Prince Zhu Biao stood on the stairs and looked down at the officials.
"Greetings, Emperor."
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live.”
All the officials knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Rise."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Thank you, Emperor." The ministers slowly stood up and returned to their respective positions.
"Everyone, this is not the time for the court meeting. Do you know why I summoned you to attend the court meeting?”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at the ministers.
The ministers raised their heads and secretly sized up Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. Seeing the smile on his face, the ministers all felt relieved.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was in court and had a cold face, it was definitely the time for the butcher's knife to descend.
In the past few months, because of Hu Weiyong's case, tens of thousands of people were involved. Almost every day, Zhu Yuanzhang would issue an edict to implicate the entire family.
During this period of time, the officials were all trembling with fear, afraid that they would be implicated.
However…
Fortunately, Zhu Biao was there to appease them, and the officials were relieved.
"We don't know."
The officials replied.
Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to say that they knew.
