The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 451 Lan Yu's Request

"Don't worry, Xiong Ying, leave this to me. I'll definitely get it done for you!"

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying pretended to be in a very difficult position, and finally sighed and said.

"Alright, since you insist, Uncle, then this place is yours!"

At this moment, Duke Lan Yu of Liang spoke.

"I may not be very familiar with the local army. Could I bring along some of our old subordinates? Don't worry, we don't need anyone else, just those old subordinates from Beijing. Without them, this battle will be quite troublesome!"

Lan Yu previously had a group of adopted sons, and with these adopted sons around, they would be available at any time for any battle.

However, due to Zhu Xiong Ying's warning, he disbanded all his adopted sons. Now, if he were to fight a war without his old subordinates, he would probably face a lot of trouble.

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying sighed and said.

"Alright, we're relatives after all!"

"This time, Xiong Ying will take care of this for you. Just get the list over here in a bit!"

"I'll get it for you then!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Lan Yu of Liang was extremely excited. As expected, he was a relative who could be relied upon in a critical moment.

"Don't worry, Xiong Ying. Leave this to your great-uncle. I don't care what country it is. It will all be Ming territory in the end!"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded after hearing this.

"But Uncle-Grandpa shouldn't let his guard down then!"

"Although that area has never seen any major battles since ancient times, it still has a considerable number of troops. After you arrive there, you must have a thorough understanding of that place!"

"Duke Lan Yu of Liang nodded after hearing this. Although he was confident, he was by no means arrogant, especially when it came to these unknown enemies!"

"Don't worry, leave this matter with U.A. High School!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu was overjoyed and happily left the place to go back and prepare.

The little eunuch standing to the side was speechless. His grandson's ability to deceive people was getting better and better. If he hadn't heard before that the grandson intended to have Lan Yu as the commander-in-chief to deal with the Delhi Sultanate in the southwest region, he probably would have believed Zhu Xiong Ying's acting. Now, not only was this task assigned to Lan Yu, but Lan Yu was also made to be grateful.

Sure enough, I could learn these techniques in ten years.

After finishing these matters, Zhu Xiong Ying went to the Hall of Diligent Governance, where Crown Prince Zhu Biao and a group of cabinet members were reviewing memorials. Although he had the help of the cabinet members, the sheer number of memorials was still a considerable workload for Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

There's no way around it; the Ming Dynasty's national strength is growing stronger and its territory is expanding.

Managing these places is no easy task, and there are many more things to deal with every day.

If Zhu Xiong Ying hadn't taken advantage of the Ministry of Personnel's desire to make money and planned post stations for circulation in various places, these memorials would probably have traveled much farther to reach Yingtian Prefecture.

As their territory in the west grew larger, if it weren't for these post stations, Crown Prince Zhu Biao would already be considering moving the capital.

At this moment, he saw Zhu Xiong Ying arrive at this place with a leisurely expression, and he was extremely dissatisfied that his own son was working so hard while he was having such a relaxed time.

At this moment, he looked at Zhu Xiong Ying with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"Xiongying, what are you still doing here? Come and help your father review the memorials!"

"Look at you, you're so old and still so immature. When I was your age, I was already helping your grandfather, the Emperor, review memorials!" Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile.

"Father, rest assured, with so many Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet in one place!"

"I believe this is a piece of cake for you, Father, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. These words sounded quite comforting. At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying was holding a small booklet in his hand.

"These are officials in the Hanlin Academy who are loyal to me. Although most people in the Hanlin Academy don't quite approve of them, it's not a big deal!"

"Furthermore, the matter of Lan Yu has also been settled." Crown Prince Zhu Biao was extremely surprised to hear this. Although Lan Yu liked fighting, he would not go to such a remote place. This was not much different from exile.

He was always worried that Lan Yu might have other intentions, since such things could easily be misunderstood.

"Are you sure Lan Yu agreed without any ulterior motives? It wouldn't be a good thing if he misunderstood this!"

Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile.

"Don't worry, he didn't misunderstand, and he's even grateful to us."

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt utterly bewildered; had he heard correctly?

It's the same as fighting a war, but this time, going to attack the Delhi Sultanate requires crossing the Ü-Tsang Province, which is a very troublesome matter.

Moreover, he would have to endure a lot of hardship. Normal people would never go to that place, but Lan Yu had agreed, which made him feel very strange.

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Biao in front of him.

"Father, we have an agreement. If I can resolve these matters, then you will be in charge of reviewing and approving all the court affairs for the time being!"

"A bet's a bet, so let's see what happens..."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was immediately annoyed upon hearing this. Zhu Xiong Ying had said that he would resolve these matters within three days, but who would have thought that the matter would be resolved in less than a day? This left him feeling extremely frustrated.

The key point is that no one could have imagined such a thing. It was originally an agreement between the father and son. Outsiders might not know about it, but now Zhu Xiong has to reveal this bet in front of so many officials in the court.

Now that I think about it, there's no way to deny it anymore.

Thinking of this, he glanced at it and said with a face full of displeasure.

"This matter can't be discussed later; we have to say it in front of everyone. I've only been feeling better for a few days!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.

Only in this one place can you see this father and son looking like this.

This is what Crown Prince Zhu Biao said with a smile as he looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in front of him.

"Xiongying, you are my son. How can you bear to just stand by and do nothing about this?"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded solemnly after hearing this.

"Be patient!"

"Father, don't forget what we agreed on before. I remember not long ago someone brought back a lot of memorials and threw them directly in front of me, claiming it was to train me!"
