The sun was setting.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally reached the top of the mountain and arrived at the entrance of the White Cloud Temple. Without saying anything, he walked in excitedly.
"Sister, sister, we're here to see you!”
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Yuanzhang started to shout.
The front yard of the Taoist temple was very quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang swept his eyes across the area and saw Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di sitting on stone benches under the parasol tree.
Of course.
The annoying young man was standing next to him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Who knew that it was the young Taoist priest Fang Han, who Zhu Yuanzhang hated, who was the first to take the initiative to walk in front of him and bow.
He still remembered the night before.
Fang Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were at loggerheads, and they were very unhappy.
"Hahaha, Fang Han, you're really something. It's only been a day, and you're already getting our sister off the brick bed?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not a stingy person. When he saw Empress Ma sitting under the parasol tree looking good, he was instantly overjoyed and patted Fang Han's shoulder to reward her.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me."
Fang Han smiled faintly, unfazed by the favor or disgrace.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything else. He walked to the parasol tree and saw that Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di were in a daze. They didn't see him at all as if they had suffered a blow.
"Sister, Biao Er, Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?”
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.
Empress Ma raised her eyes slightly. When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she did not say a word. She stood up and walked towards her own room.
"Hey, sister, you can walk on your own?”
Seeing that Empress Ma could actually walk alone, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and did not even care about her cold attitude.
After Empress Ma left, he turned around and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder. He said happily,""Biao Er, did you see that? Your mother can walk on her own? This White Cloud Temple is really f * cking godly.”
"Let's immediately issue a decree to confer the White Cloud Temple as a royal temple and Fang Han as the orthodox Daoist!”
Zhu Biao stood up and lowered his head, unwilling to look at Zhu Yuanzhang." Father, I'm not feeling well. I'll go rest in the wing room first."”
After saying that.
Zhu Biao also left silently.
“……”
Watching him leave, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually disappeared.
"Father, then I also…"
Zhu Di also wanted to get up and slip away, but he was slapped back onto the stone bench by Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand.
"Sit down!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone instantly became less polite, and there was even a trace of emperor might mixed within.
Zhu Di's face was full of tears as he cursed in his heart. Why am I always the unlucky one?
Fang Han, who was standing at the side, smiled knowingly.
This scene was quite interesting.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the stone bench beside Zhu Di and did not care about Fang Han's existence. He asked,""Tell me, what happened to your mother and brother?”
"I…"
Zhu Di lowered his head and muttered,""Can't you ask him yourself?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened." What did you say?”
Zhu Di quivered and quickly waved his hand."No, I didn't say anything."
Seeing his reluctant look, Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly furious. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold him, he subconsciously looked at Fang Han from the corner of his eye.
"I say, Fang Han, can you stop standing here?" he said angrily. I feel uncomfortable standing here.”
"Oh."
Fang Han nodded and took two steps forward. He sat in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di very naturally and said with a smile,"Then I won't be standing."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Di could not help but laugh.
However, just as he laughed twice, he was met with Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous gaze. He was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to talk nonsense with Zhu Di, so he shifted his target to Fang Han and asked,"Fang Han, if Fourth Brother doesn't want to say it, then tell me, what exactly happened?”
Fang Han did not hide anything and said directly,"I only brought them to see the outcome of Hu Weiyong's case.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, feeling very unhappy.
He didn't like the feeling of being guessed or even predicted by someone at any time.
This was understandable.
No emperor would like to be seen through, let alone Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang.
Didn't Liu Bowen die like this?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not do anything to Fang Han, and he still had a favor to ask of him. He could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"The ending of Hu Weiyong's case?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to ask casually,""Then tell me, how did it end?”
Before Fang Han could speak, Zhu Di could not help but jump up and say,"Father, this case lasted for ten years and more than 30,000 people died. How can you kill so many people? Mother and Eldest Brother are about to faint from anger."
"Bastard!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the stone table and looked at Zhu Di angrily."Is this how you talk to me?”
Only then did Zhu Di realize that he was a little excited, so he sat back down unhappily.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Han."It seems that Taoist priest really has the ability to see through the heavens and earth, and it's not just a trick.”
He didn't care how many people he would kill in the future. Even if there were 300,000 people, he would still kill them as long as they affected his plan, let alone 30,000.
Fang Han smiled faintly." Your Majesty, you flatter me. You and I both know that Hu Weiyong's case is just a cover."”
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang hid his killing intent very well, Fang Han could still feel it.
Zhu Yuanzhang's personality was very complicated. Moreover, his personality was completely different at every time.
But there was one thing in common.
That was, the more polite Zhu Yuanzhang was to a person, the closer that person was to death.
Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang had called him by his name, but now, he had changed it to Taoist priest. Although it was only a slight difference, Fang Han knew very well that Emperor Hongwu wanted to kill again.
Since that was the case, he might as well show off his methods and destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent.
"Oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Han with interest." I'd like to hear what Taoist Fang has to say.”
Zhu Di looked at Fang Han in confusion, his head full of question marks.
Hu Weiyong's case was just a cover?
Then what was his father's real motive?
"The reason why His Majesty wants to expand the influence of Hu Weiyong's case and increase the crimes in this case is actually for another purpose," Fang Han said lightly.”
Zhu Di scratched his head." What's the purpose?"
"Abolish the prime minister system!"
When Fang Han said this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's narrowed eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
As expected!
This kid is a scourge!
Nothing could be hidden from him!
"Abolish the prime minister system? Father, is this true?"
Zhu Biao walked out of the room and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock.
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and sneered. Did we do anything wrong?"
"We came from a beggar's background and had nothing. We didn't rely on anyone. We built Great Ming step by step. How much blood and sweat did we shed?”
"Prime Minister?"
"Humph! What right does this position have to be on equal footing with me? What right do you have to give me half of my power?”
"When the world was in chaos, where was the Prime Minister?”
"When we were fighting to the death at Panyang Lake, where was the Prime Minister?”
