The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 185 Xu Da resigned, Tang He returned home! Old Zhu sneered: Who dares to jump around? !
"Master...what do you say?"

Xu Da felt a little nervous for no reason, and even had a guilty feeling of being discovered!
"This disease is very urgent..."

Peng Xuan pondered and said,
"Such swelling, if not properly treated, is indeed life-threatening. Fortunately, you are not in the army. If you get sick while marching or fighting, it will be terrible."

"Back carbuncle is caused by internal accumulation of dampness, heat and fire poisons, which accumulate in the five internal organs, leading to stagnation of qi and blood, disharmony between the Ying and Wei, and invasion of the skin by evil spirits."

"If you have this disease, you need to take care of yourself for the rest of your life. You need to keep your body and mind happy and avoid certain foods. As for the five internal organs, the liver and gallbladder are the most important... General Xu, have you eaten anything that makes you irritated recently? Or have you had any major mood swings?"

Xu Da was silent for a moment.

"I have been eating a light diet recently and have not eaten any taboo foods."

He said softly,

"Moodwise... there are some."

"This back carbuncle is related to my mood?"

Peng Xuan nodded.

"That's natural. Emotions have the greatest impact on people!"

"As the saying goes, being frightened to death is not an exaggeration. When a person is extremely frightened, he may even die of fright. It is not surprising that he would develop a back abscess."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened slightly.

Could it be that... the culprit really is what he said?
Those words frightened Xu Da terribly? !

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful... With such a heart-piercing remark, he lost a capable general!

"I see……"

Xu Da nodded and felt relieved.

Now, with Peng Xuan's endorsement, everything has formed a perfect closed loop, with no flaws at all!
"Master, please stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Ju urged,
"You'd better treat my father-in-law as soon as possible!"

"Whatever medicine you need, let's prepare it now!"

Peng Xuan snorted.

"You know what to do. Let the patient know the mechanism of the disease and understand the disease. Only then can he cooperate with the treatment and pay attention to maintenance in the future."

He scolded,

"This is also a part of the treatment, and it is an extremely important part! Take your father-in-law for example, why does he suffer from this disease over and over again? It's because he doesn't understand the disease thoroughly enough!"

"If I were him, after I got sick, I would definitely choose a quiet place to cultivate my body and mind, and from then on, I would have no desires and would not worry about anything. If I could do this, I would be able to recover even without medicine."

Hearing this, Zhu Ju shut his mouth obediently.

"This... is exactly what I want now..."

Xu Da lay on the bed, bowed to Peng Xuanlue, and said,
"Thank you for your guidance, Taoist Master Peng. His Majesty has allowed me to resign and retire. From now on, I will rest well."

Peng Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"That'll be easy."

"Zhuju."

He shouted, and Zhu Ju quickly stepped forward.

"Bring me some paper and pen, I'll write two prescriptions."

"One for external use, one for internal use, and I'll do some incantation. With these three methods working together, it will surely work quickly!"

Zhu Ju nodded and told Xu Miaoyun to get some paper and pen. He then ran outside and asked the servant to get a bowl of cold water.

Now he also knows some tricks of the art of Zhuyou. Generally speaking, the use of water in Zhuyou is very common and relatively effective, provided that one has sufficient ability.

In a moment, paper and pen were found, and Peng Xuan quickly wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Xu Miaoyun.

"Go get the medicine quickly. It must be taken with hot water for it to be effective."

He ordered,

"For external use, just crush the herbs and apply them on the carbuncle on the back. Change it every six hours."

"During this period, you cannot eat any meat, including seafood and river fish. You should mainly eat light vegetables. You are not allowed to drink alcohol, tea, or milk. You are not allowed to eat fruit or iced food."

"If you can tolerate light food, millet porridge is the best staple food. Eat small and frequent meals every day. It is best to go hungry for the first three days to allow the stomach to develop."

Xu Miaoyun nodded repeatedly, keeping Peng Xuan's words in mind.

"This……"

Xu Da's face turned bitter.

"With so many taboos, what's the point of being a human being? I might as well just die."

After listening to Peng Xuan's instructions, he seemed to have become a monk in a temple!
"Then why don't you become a ghost?"

Peng Xuan said calmly,
"It's not impossible to be a ghost. I know a little bit about the method of saving the dead souls. If you become a ghost, I have a way to reduce your pain."

"However, I want to remind General Xu that, according to my understanding, being a ghost is much more painful than being a human."

Xu Da: "..."

All right! You forgot that the person in front of you is not only a powerful doctor, but also a top-notch wizard!
All of a sudden, he shut his mouth obediently and dared not speak nonsense again.

"Master, here it is."

Zhu Ju brought a bowl of water.

Peng Xuan said nothing, and made the Three Mountains Seal with his right hand while muttering something. After a moment, he focused his eyes, and began to draw talismans on the water bowl, chanting non-stop.

After a while, he finally brought the bowl of water.

"Drink it."

"Then rest, wait for the two medicines to arrive, take them immediately, and then go to sleep!"

Peng Xuan spoke briefly and to the point, and Xu Da did not dare to be negligent and quickly drank up the water in the bowl.

By the way, he smacked his lips twice.

"This... doesn't have any special taste..."

I thought that the "magic water" that has been painted with talismans would have a different flavor.

"What flavor do you want?"

Zhu Ju said unhappily,
"Alright, lie down and rest!"

"We won't bother you any more. Let's get through this first and then study the rest!"

Anyway, the hardest part has passed.

Now, as long as we pay off the debt of the "torture tactic", everything will be fine!

"well……"

Xu Da closed his eyes obediently and relaxed his body and mind.

It’s true, after drinking this glass of water, I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I actually felt a bit cool, and the carbuncle on my back didn’t hurt or itch as much anymore.

As expected, he is a great wizard!

He sighed secretly in his heart.

I remember when I was a child, I encountered fake monks and Taoists who were cheating people in the countryside. They used the so-called "talisman water" to treat diseases, claiming that as long as the talisman paper was burned and then mixed with water and swallowed, the disease could be cured.

In the end, the money was collected, the disease was not cured, and the patient ran away! After experiencing this kind of thing, Xu Da used to sneer at such things, until today he realized that -

It turns out that this is not all a lie, there are still people with real skills!
"Old Six is ​​right. You should take good care of yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da on the shoulder and said,

"Don't disobey even a single word of Master Peng's words!"

"I'll come see you again in a few days."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty..."

Xu Da bowed his hands on the bed and watched Zhu Yuanzhang leave, finally feeling relieved.

"Dad, I'll stay and take care of you."

Xu Miaoyun felt a little reluctant and couldn't help but say.

When Xu Da heard this, he shook his head.

"How can you go back to your parents' home right after you get married? Besides, we don't lack people to take care of us here."

He said,

"You can go back with Zhu Ju, and come visit me when you have time."

"By the way, tell the Queen that I'm fine, and tell her not to worry or come to visit me."

Xu Miaoyun's eyes were red and she nodded gently.

"Okay... Then my husband and I will come to see you in two days."

She repeatedly reminded him,

"You must strictly follow Master's words and never act capriciously again!"

Xu Da smiled and nodded, then gave instructions.

"By the way, call your Uncle Tang in. He has been guarding me outside for a whole day and night."

Although he is out of danger now, Tang He and other generals are still in danger and are hated by Your Majesty!

He can't control other people, but he has to help his second brother Tang He if he can.

Although he was tricked by Tang He this time, Xu Da still believed that Tang He was also drugged by someone! The fault was not his!

"it is good."

……

Outside the wing room.

When Tang He saw Zhu Yuanzhang and his companions coming out, he immediately went to greet them.

"His Majesty……"

"minister……"

He cupped his hands and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Ju.

"Uncle Tang, Dad is in a bad mood right now. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it next time."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Tang He, said nothing, and left with his hands behind his back.

Tang He: "..."

Looking at the emperor's departing back, he suddenly felt a chill rising in his heart.

There seemed to be some disgust in the look His Majesty gave him!

"Uncle Tang."

Xu Miaoyun behind him shouted,

"Dad called you in and said he had something to tell you."

After hearing this, Tang He came back to his senses and quickly walked into the room!
……

Da da.

After saying goodbye to Peng Xuan, Zhu Yuanzhang and his four companions boarded the dragon chariot. The wheels turned and it slowly drove towards the Forbidden City.

Inside the carriage, none of the four people spoke a word, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

After a long time, Zhu Biao broke the silence.

"Uncle Xu...what a pity."

He sighed.

"He is in his prime, but because of this chronic disease, he can only choose to retire with regret."

"He must be very unwilling! Alas... This is also a loss for our Ming Dynasty! Without him, who will be able to take on the important task in the future of the Ming army?"

There were many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, but apart from Xu Da, I can’t think of anyone else who could truly be the commander-in-chief of the three armies!
Tang He? Feng Sheng? Deng Yu?

It seems like it's almost there.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked indifferent when he heard this.

"Without Zhang the butcher, can we still eat hairy pigs?"

He said,

"Xu Da is a talented general, but it doesn't mean that the Ming Dynasty cannot function without Xu Da. If that were the case, then our country would be too fragile."

Zhu Ju nodded in agreement.

"A truly powerful country must be able to resist risks. Even if the emperor is absent, the crown prince can immediately take over and stabilize the country. What about a general?"

"Father-in-law, let him take good care of his health. The Northern Expedition has only been over for a few months, and the Ming Dynasty does not need to deploy troops on a large scale. Even if it really needs to deploy troops in the future, it will definitely be able to select a commander who can take on the task."

"Brother, you don't need to worry about this. My Ming Dynasty is full of talented people!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded.

"...But, I was indeed impulsive this time and said something I shouldn't have said."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, then said,

"You must be careful in the future. When you encounter similar situations, you cannot just follow me blindly. You must make your own judgment."

"When necessary, you have to dissuade us!"

"Did you hear anything?"

Zhu Biao: "..."

Zhu Ju: “…”

dissuade?

Just pull a few and pour it!

When you are furious, who dares to dissuade you? Unless you want to be beaten!

"Deaf?"

"Still mute?!"

"say something!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"Of course, but we have to be clear about this first."

Zhu Ju said seriously,
"If my elder brother and I tried to dissuade him, you couldn't take your anger out on us! This kind of thing has happened before, and you're about to chop us down first!"

"Who would risk their life to give advice? Only a fool would do that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you two that I won't vent my anger on you, okay?"

Old Zhu looked a little embarrassed.

"No, words are not enough, you have to write down the evidence!"

Zhu Ju said relentlessly,

"Give each of us an imperial decree, the kind that will take effect with a seal!"

"Otherwise, you'll force me to shout 'The emperor never said that, I was just talking nonsense' again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "￥%...&*@!!!"

Seeing his father being humiliated, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Little Orange is indeed a vengeful person. He wants to get back at the loss he just suffered.

"why are you laughing!"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao and glared,

"Let's make a written agreement!"

"This time, I have made up my mind to restrain myself! I can't just follow my temper all the time!"

"Return to the palace! Once we get back to Fengtian Palace, I will give each of you an imperial edict!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ju grinned and winked at Zhu Biao.

The two brothers smiled knowingly.

Although Zhu Biao appears gentle and submissive on a daily basis, he actually has his own opinions!
Therefore, this "document" is quite useful to him! At least, if he takes it out at a critical moment, he can gain the upper hand!
...Inside the wing room of Xu Mansion.

"Third brother... you, it would be fine if you just handed back the tiger talisman, but why did you even resign from the positions of general and right prime minister? You... really want to live a carefree life without an official position and retire in retirement?"

Tang He listened to Xu Da's narration with an extremely shocked look!
The general is the number one military commander!
As the Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat, he was the second most important civil official after Li Shanchang!

These two important positions were resigned just like that?!
He couldn't understand it at all at this moment!
"It's already like this...what do I need those empty names for?"

Xu Da waved his hand and said with a smile,
"From now on, I just want to live my life on the laurels."

"The merits I have accomplished are enough for me and my descendants to enjoy for several lifetimes, aren't they?"

Tang He frowned, and it took him a while to relax.

"Okay... okay."

He sighed softly,

"You're right. The merits are enough to last for several lifetimes. Why bother?"

"I also feel it's boring now. Although I am only the Marquis of Zhongshan, I am still the first marquis. As for wealth and honor, His Majesty doesn't need me. What happened yesterday was nothing more than an impulse. I just wanted to prove myself."

"But if you calm down and think about it, wouldn't it be asking for trouble to get angry with His Majesty? Sigh... the way he looked at me today seemed a little cold, and it made me feel a little chilly in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Xu Da was silent for a moment.

"...I won't say any more. You should have a good rest. I've been up all night and it's time for me to go back and catch up on some sleep."

Tang He slowly stood up, patted Xu Da on the shoulder and prepared to say goodbye.

However, at this moment, Xu Da grabbed Tang He's hand.

"Second brother."

Xu Da said in a deep voice,
"I know there are some things I said that you may not understand."

"The reasons here are quite complicated. I can't tell you directly, but if you trust me, just listen to my advice—"

Upon hearing this, Tang He sat back down again.

"How to say?"

Instinctively, he felt that Xu Da wanted to tell him something extremely crucial!

"Find a reason to resign from all your military posts, and then do nothing at home like me."

Xu Da whispered,
"Besides, don't collude with that gang anymore! It's best not to have anything to do with them anymore!"

When Tang He heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"Third brother...you, what do you mean by this?"

"Could it be that……"

Xu Da's words made him feel creepy!
"If you have more, don't ask."

Xu Da closed his eyes and whispered,
"The higher you stand, the harder you fall. We have already reached this position, so what else can we be dissatisfied with? We must guard against being used by people with ulterior motives. If they are fine, we will become a thorn in the side of His Majesty."

"I'm telling you this because you're my brother. Whether you're willing to do it or not... that's your own business. I'm just advising you to do it now. It's not too late. Maybe... it can turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

With the help of Zhu Ju, after calming down and thinking, Xu Da also sorted out his thoughts.

This time, it was true that he had been tricked! But at the same time, there was also a chance to turn danger into safety and sadness into joy!

The nobles were dissatisfied with the emperor's rewards and intended to collude to put pressure on the emperor. In this situation, generals like him and Tang He were able to cooperate with the emperor and intimidate those unruly generals, which undoubtedly helped the emperor!

In this way, not only will his interests not be harmed, but he will also gain more favors! Just like the promise the emperor made to him today!
Of course, these words cannot be broken down and fed to Tang He. He can only give some advice. As for whether Tang He can understand it, that depends on himself.

"Third brother, I..."

"Okay, I'm going to rest now. You should also go back and have a good rest. Think carefully. You should keep a clear mind in the future and don't let others lead you by the nose."

Tang He was about to speak, but Xu Da had already waved his hand, closed his eyes, and looked like he was going to sleep.

"...Okay, then I'm leaving."

Tang He stood up, looked at Xu Da deeply, and walked out of the room.

He frowned and left Xu's house with a worried look on his face.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, at the grand court meeting.

A group of civil officials and military generals stood in line, but Xu Da, the first military general, was absent.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, with Zhu Biao and Zhu Ju standing beside him.

"Green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right."

Zhu Ju whispered,
"There's a fool in the middle."

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows.

"What does 250 mean? It sounds pretty smooth."

Zhu Ju grinned.

"It means big idiot! Hahaha..."

puff.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh out loud. This brat really found different ways to make fun of his dad every day!

Da da da!
Da da da!
Zhu Ju was laughing so smugly when he felt the jade pendant on his chest vibrate wildly. His expression frightened and he quickly shut his mouth and behaved himself.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and waved his hand.
"Let's begin the court meeting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, officials from the Ministry of Personnel came out.

"Your Majesty, Duke of Wei Xu Da has suffered a relapse of a carbuncle on his back and is unable to bear the heavy burden. He requests to resign from his positions as general, right prime minister, and cabinet vice minister and rest at home."

He said,

"The resignation letter has been delivered to the Ministry of Personnel. Please review it, Your Majesty."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

Xu Da's illness was an emergency, and no one except the person involved was aware of it.

When they first heard that Xu Da, the first meritorious official of the Ming Dynasty, was going to resign, it was naturally a huge shock to all the civil and military officials!

For a moment, everyone was whispering to each other, responding to each other's shock.

And those generals were even more shocked at this moment!

Great General...what is this about?!
"Ugh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took Xu Da's resignation letter in his hand, read it over and over again, and finally sighed,
"Yesterday, we went to visit Xu Da. His back carbuncle is indeed a difficult disease to treat. If you are not careful, it may be life-threatening."

"He repeatedly asked me to resign and take care of myself, but I didn't want the Ming Dynasty to lose such a pillar, so I refused him repeatedly. But he finally said... I want to live a few more years."

"Now that we've come to this point, we have no choice but to agree. With his contributions, he really doesn't need to fight on the battlefield anymore."

"...Ah! Go ahead!"

With a click, the music book closed.

"Here, increase Xu Da's salary by 5,000 dan, and his fief by 1,500 households."

Zhu Yuanzhang said,

"I will also give you 5,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and a house in Yingtian Prefecture."

"Handle it immediately and without any mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, the officials below bowed respectfully.

Xu Da, the first meritorious official of the Ming Empire, resigned and retired so cleanly!

Although the emperor gave great preferential treatment, for all the ministers, especially those generals who joined together to request a fight, this was definitely a horror story!
General Xu took the lead in requesting to go to war yesterday, and today he resigned from his post and was relieved of all military and political positions!

Is there really no connection between the two?

If there is... does that mean that even a military giant like Xu Da, who has made great military achievements, is vulnerable in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and can be controlled at any time? !

If I tell you to go down, you have to go down! There is no room for resistance!

Just as they were daydreaming, Tang He suddenly walked out from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

He bowed and said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it." Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked calm.

"I have been dreaming about my dead mother recently. She said she was in great misery in the underworld and asked me to go back to my hometown to burn some paper money for her."

Tang He said solemnly,
"Back then, my mother starved to death just to leave the little food she had for me. I was unfilial. Since I joined the rebel army, although I have become richer and richer, I have never thought of returning to my hometown to repair my mother's tomb. I have not even burned paper money or winter clothes for her."

"When Your Majesty returned to Fengyang, I deserved to die. I didn't even think of visiting my mother's grave when I returned to Fengyang. Now that I dream of my mother and think of the past, I can't help but feel sad and guilty!"

"Your Majesty... minister..."

As he spoke, Tang He's eyes turned red and he actually began to sob.

Hearing these words, all the ministers were moved, even Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes softened a lot. Listening to Tang He's words, he also thought of the past.

Speaking of which, he and Tang He were real childhood friends, and he had a deep impression of Tang He's mother.

"Your mother is a very kind and gentle person..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed emotion, and he said softly,
"I still remember when I was a kid, I was naughty and was beaten by my parents. I ran away from home in anger and spent the night at your house. At that time, your mother cooked a bowl of steaming hot rice cake for me."

"I still remember that taste..."

Tang Helue sniffed.

"Your Majesty! I request to return to my hometown in Fengyang to hold a grand ritual for my mother and replenish all the deceased's belongings!"

He said earnestly,
"In addition, I also want to personally repair my mother's tomb. I want it to be more magnificent and luxurious to make up for my unfilial behavior over the years!"

"If I can find a good feng shui location, I would like to move my grave!"

"Your Majesty, please...give me your permission!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"You want to repair it yourself?"

He said with a surprised look,
"We can send you the best craftsman from the Ministry of Works, but as for the matter of relocating the grave... we still need to find someone who is proficient in geomancy."

"This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. From site selection to tomb design and construction, it will take at least one or two years to achieve a magnificent and luxurious effect."

"Let's arrange for someone to help you do it, otherwise your military duties will be delayed."

Tang He shook his head.

"No, Your Majesty."

He said seriously,

"Without my mother, I would not be where I am today. I have failed too much in filial piety. If I need to rely on others to build my tomb, wouldn't that make me an unfilial person?"

"The court governs the world with loyalty and filial piety, and I also regard loyalty and filial piety as my duty! Therefore... I must do this matter myself!"

"As for military affairs, the court is full of talented people. I only need to share the military affairs I have. Why should I worry about it?"

These words were so sincere that they were impossible to refuse.

In this era, loyalty and filial piety are the greatest moral principles!

"Amazing……"

Zhu Ju murmured,
"It must be Old Xu who gave him some advice, otherwise he wouldn't be so smart..."

Tang He's trick is also very clever!

After listening to Tang He's words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.

"His Majesty!"

Tang He said again,
"I am not going to retire! If there is a day in the future when Your Majesty and the court need me, as long as Your Majesty gives me an order, I will serve Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty with all my heart!"

"Your Majesty, please...give me your permission!"

Pfft!
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and hit his head on the floor tiles with a dull thud!
"That's...okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in approval and said,

"It's rare that you have such filial piety, and you can be a role model for the people of the world."

"Your request is approved. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue is ordered to allocate 10,000 taels, the Imperial Observatory to send three officials, the Ministry of Works to send five officials, and a hundred craftsmen to go to Fengyang together to find a Feng Shui treasure land to build the Tang family's ancestral tomb."

Upon hearing this, Tang He looked up suddenly.

"My lord, thank you for your grace!"

His eyes were full of gratitude and he kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, you are filial, this is a good thing, we will naturally reward you."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,

"Of course, if there is a war in the future, we will still need you to lead the army! Don't slack off in Fengyang. You still need to practice martial arts well and read military books to prepare for the future."

"This is also our intention."

Tang He's expression froze.

"Sir, obey the order!"

He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again before returning to the queue.

"Xu Da resigned, Tang He returned home... For a while, we all felt like we had no one to use!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard gently and sighed,
"Who can take over their positions?"

"Who can recommend one? Or you can volunteer yourself."

After this question, the whole audience fell silent and no one dared to speak.

Xu Da was a general, and Tang He was also a commander-in-chief! Not everyone can hold these two positions!

Now, recommending someone is harming that person! Recommending yourself is even more of a humiliation!
"no one?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and said unhappily,

"Is there really no one left in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Without Xu Da and Tang He, our Ming Dynasty doesn't even have a commander in chief. How can we drive out the barbarians and wipe out the Northern Yuan?"

"It seems that we were too optimistic before!"

After a short pause, Lao Zhu shouted:
"Mu Ying!"

Swish!
"Chen is here!"

Mu Ying walked out from the queue and bowed.

"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes the king. You little monkey, just pretend to be the king for the time being!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,

"I appoint you as the assistant governor of the Grand Military Governor's Office, responsible for formulating the defense of the northern border!"

"Since there is no one in the court who can lead the three armies, then we should give up our hope of pacifying the northern border. Our strategy against the Northern Yuan should be to adopt a defensive stance, focusing on clearing the countryside and strengthening the city walls."

"Submit the defense plan to us within seven days!"

Mu Ying's expression became serious.

The assistant to the Grand Marshal's Office is another important position with real power!
With the two important posts of the Cabinet's Deputy Prime Minister and Cardinal Minister, he had unknowingly become one of the most powerful men in the Ming Dynasty!

This shows that my adoptive father has high expectations of me!

Although the burden is heavy, he has full confidence in taking it up and doing his best!
"Sir, obey the order!"

"It won't take seven days. It will only take three days. I will formulate a plan for the defense of the northern border and present it to Your Majesty for your review!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

He then glanced at the group of generals who requested to fight, and seeing that they all had ugly expressions, he couldn't help but sneer.

I told you to band together to cause trouble, and yet you're asking for a fight... haha.

Do you want to use the excuse of destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty to express your dissatisfaction and seize military power?

Then we have to formulate a defense plan!

Because of this matter, Xu Da and Tang He both withdrew. Do you still want to jump around in front of us?

Just go back home and be turtles!
