The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 202 Let Zhu Yuanzhang come to greet me personally! The ministers are furious, and Zhu Ju is doomed!

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment.

"Go to Lao Liu's place..."

He nodded and said,

"Old Four, are you willing to go?"

Zhu Di's expression was stern.

"I will obey your Majesty! Wherever you tell me to go, I will go!"

At this time, Zhu Di had quickly adjusted his mentality... Being able to participate in the Northern Expedition was already a great fortune! How could he be picky?

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,
"In that case, why don't you serve in the Sixth Army? You can watch the battle from a close distance, and it's also safer."

"However, since you are going to be a pawn incognito, you can't use the name Zhu Di. Why don't you change your name? Who can come up with one?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Ju.

"Just call him Zhu Xiaosi!"

Zhu Ju smiled and said,
"Isn't that the name of an ordinary soldier?"

"What about He Lao Er and Yang Lao San? Ordinary people don't have much education. If you use fancy words, they won't understand you, and it won't be easy to bring the two sides closer."

"Right, Old Four?"

Zhu Di: "..."

"Sixth brother is right. Let's call him Zhu Xiaosi. It'll be more low-key and less eye-catching."

He didn't resist too much.

The name is just a code name, but it was given by his younger brother Zhu Ju, so it is a little bit offensive.

"Okay then, let's call him Zhu Xiaosi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said in a deep voice,
"Old Four, you must remember that we allowed you to go this time, not to ask you to go sightseeing, nor to ask you to fight for your life on the battlefield!"

"You have to know what your identity is and what you should do! The descendants of our Zhu family are born to be commanders. There is no need to charge into battle. That would be foolish!"

"Being calm is a necessary quality for a commander! If you get carried away and act recklessly on the battlefield, and really regard yourself as an ordinary soldier, then if you die in battle, I will not publicize your identity as a prince. I can't afford to lose face! Do you understand?"

Zhu Di was shocked.

"Yes, Father!"

"My son, please remember this!"

He cupped his hands, looking serious.

"Okay, go ahead. It will be less than half a month before the army sets out."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,

"During the next half month, you should calm down and make all the necessary preparations."

"We are looking forward to your performance. If you do well in this Northern Expedition, we can consider letting you become a vassal in advance and set an example for your brothers!"

Swish!
"Thank you, Father!"

"My son, please retire!"

Zhu Di bowed his head again and left the Huagai Hall contentedly.

Zhu Biao looked at his departing back, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Old Four, you're really good!"

He praised,

"Based on your performance just now, I was able to withstand your pressure and express my true thoughts. This alone is better than many people!"

"They are much stronger than the second and third brothers!"

In Zhu Biao's view, anyone who can withstand the pressure from his father is an outstanding talent with a big heart who can withstand pressure and shoulder heavy responsibilities!
Of course, people like Zhu Ju who completely ignore his father's pressure are not included in this list. This kid is even braver than Zhao Zilong. There is nothing he dare not do and no trouble he dare not cause.

"Well, the fourth one is indeed okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,
"We have been observing them. At present, the fifth one does not have a talent for military affairs, so he can be ruled out. Among the other three, the fourth one has the greatest potential and is more than capable of defending a region. Perhaps he can be appointed as a general."

"But I can't say for sure. In fact, I am quite optimistic about the third brother. Xu Da told me that the third brother's military talent is not inferior to the fourth brother, but he likes to be a little clever. These flaws can be eliminated as he grows older."

"As for the second brother, he is just average, but he should have the talent to guard a fiefdom."

"You need to pay more attention to them and understand their temperaments, so that you can smoothly control them to work for you in the future. They are your brothers, but they will also be your subordinates. There is no need for us to explain to you how to control subordinates."

In Lao Zhu's eyes, there is a clear hierarchy.

We are brothers, but in the future we will also be king and subject!
The monarch is superior and the minister is inferior! Therefore, no matter how outstanding Zhu Di was, he would only put him in the position of a "good general" or a "vassal king", and would never train him to be a "monarch".

Only one and a half people can enjoy this treatment.

Zhu Biao is one, and Zhu Ju is the half. In case something happens to Zhu Biao, Zhu Ju can be used as the reserve for the crown prince... Of course, this idea only exists in Zhu Yuanzhang's own mind, and only he and Ma Xiuying have a tacit understanding in this regard.

"Yeah, I understand, Dad."

Zhu Biao nodded.

At this moment, another voice was heard.

"His Majesty."

"The heir of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has a letter to deliver. It just arrived at the Secretariat this morning. Your Majesty, please take a look."

The eunuch who delivered the message held a letter in his hand and respectfully presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said,
"Did Yuan Sijun write to us?"

"What's going on? He immediately wrote to us after we issued the edict to attack Yuan. Is he trying to ask for peace?"

As he said this, he took the letter.

Zhu Biao took out a knife and cut off the sealing wax on the envelope.

Inside was a parchment letter.

"This Yuan Sijun is also playing with retro style."

Zhu Ju couldn't help but laugh.
"The Yuan people have ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years. Don't they know how to use paper?"

Zhu Yuanzhang unfolded the sheepskin letter, glanced at it casually, and his expression froze slightly.

"Sending an envoy at this time..."

"Haha, that's really interesting."

……

Outside the Huagai Palace.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang both looked anxious.

"The fourth son is still in there. Will he be punished by our father? Sigh..."

"What are you sighing for? It's all your fault! I wanted to pull him away just now, but you only wanted to escape! You left the fourth brother alone in there! What did we say when we came here? We agreed to share the good and the bad, but as soon as the emperor gave the order, you ran faster than anyone else!"

"You! Can you blame me for all this? You're making it seem like you didn't run away! Now you're talking after the fact!"

"I'm a hindsight expert? Damn it..."

The two brothers were arguing with each other and were about to start a quarrel, when they saw a figure walking out from the Huagai Palace.

When they saw that it was Zhu Di, the two of them stopped arguing and went to greet him.

"Old Four...you, are you okay?"

"Father didn't do anything to you, did he? He didn't confine you, did he?"

Zhu Gang looked a little ashamed, and hurriedly asked about his health and explained,
"We didn't mean to do that just now, it was really..."

My father is really terrible!

If he stays a little longer, he might get scared to death!

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

Zhu Di raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"My father has allowed me to participate in the Northern Expedition."

Zhu Xi: "!!!"

Zhu Gang: “!!!”

When these words came out, the two brothers were stunned!
"You, you, you...you can go to the Northern Expedition? How can you go to the Northern Expedition? What will happen to us if you go?"

"Old Fourth, Old Fourth, you... after we left, what kind of magic potion did you feed Father? Tell me, tell me clearly!"

"Yeah! You're so good, Old Four..."

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang spitted a lot of saliva, and their mood at the moment can be accurately summarized by a phrase from later generations:

I'm not only afraid that my brother will suffer, but I'm also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover!

How could you abandon your brothers and go to the Northern Expedition happily alone?
"Stop, stop. I didn't try to trick Father into believing it. I just insisted on my own ideas and finally convinced Father."

Zhu Di waved his hands towards his two brothers and said with a smile,
"If you had insisted on going to the battle instead of running away, I think the emperor would have agreed to your request."

"You guys are the ones who got scared, you can't blame me for this."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang were both stunned, and then beat their chests and stamped their feet!

"So... that's how it is. Father was testing us just now?"

"Yes, yes, but we...ah! There is nothing we can do. Who told us to be timid? Even if you do it to me again, I am afraid I can't bear it. It's too terrifying. The power of my father..."

"Yeah, when his eyes popped out, I almost peed! I don't know how that freak, Old Six, had the guts to go against Father. He's also a god..."

The two brothers sighed for a long time and finally accepted their fate.

There was no way, they just couldn’t get through this level. Even the open-book exam was precarious, so what else could they do?
I can only congratulate the fourth brother...

"No matter what, if one of us three brothers can go, it's considered a success!"

Zhu Gang sighed, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, and said seriously,

"Fourth Brother, you are braver than the rest of us. You must do your best when you go back to the Northern Expedition! Make our name as the prince known! The limelight cannot be all given to that fellow Sixth Brother! He has been so glorious for so long, it's time for us to show off a bit!"

"Second brother, don't you agree?"

Zhu Chong coughed dryly, avoided the topic of "Zhu Ju", and said:

"Fourth Brother, which army did the emperor send you to fight this time?"

"It should be Uncle Xu's Central Army, right? What military position did you get... Lieutenant General? Deputy General? Commander?"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"No, I just got the status of an ordinary pawn and worked under the Sixth Brother."

He answered truthfully,

"Alias... Zhu Xiaosi."

Zhu Xi: "???"

Zhu Gang: “???”

"Zhu...Zhu Xiaosi?"

Zhu Gang said in astonishment,
"You are a prince, and you want to be a nobody? No way? Are you crazy?"

"Still under Lao Liu's command? Then isn't he stepping on your head?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chong said silently:
"Zhu Ju is the deputy commander, and he has 10,000 personal guards under him."

"Even if the fourth brother wanted to be stepped on, he couldn't even get his turn..."

Zhu Fan: "..."

That’s true!
"What I want is not fame and fortune, but true experience."

Zhu Di saw that his two brothers were disdainful, but he remained calm and said seriously,

"Being an unknown soldier is undoubtedly the fastest way to make progress! If you can be a good soldier, it will be easy for you to become a general in the future."

"As for whose account I am under, I don't care."

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang looked at each other.

"You are really ambitious, even better than the two of us..."

"Let's go. We are now participating in the war. We are just pawns now. Let's celebrate with me!"

Zhu Di readily agreed.

"Take the fifth brother with you."

He has the best relationship with the fifth brother Zhu Su. Today's event is worth celebrating, so naturally he should bring his younger brother along.

……

A few days later, a peculiarly shaped carriage drove into Yingtian Prefecture. The driver was wearing a sheepskin coat and had a braid that was unique to the Yuan people, which made the people around stop and watch.

"Is this from the Yuan Dynasty? I haven't seen Yuan Dynasty clothing for a long time..."

"Yeah, is there still a Yuan Dynasty person in Yingtian? To be honest... when I saw his attire, I was a little scared..."

"What are you afraid of? We Han people are the emperor now! This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, under the feet of the emperor! The Yuan people have long been reduced to helpless dogs, and were driven away by our emperor. This time we will march north to completely wipe them out! You and I are no longer the lowest class of southerners! Don't be afraid!"

"You're right. We are no longer inferior people! We are the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

The people talked about it and gradually straightened their chests.

In their eyes, the Yuan people of the past were synonymous with ferocity and brutality, and were the superiors who stepped on their heads.

But now, the offense and defense have changed!
This is the Ming Dynasty now! The people of the Ming Dynasty are not inferior to the Yuan people, but are even more superior than these stray dogs!
dong dong dong.

The wheels rolled forward, all the way to the Forbidden City.

"Stop!"

"Who is coming!"

At the gate of the imperial city, the guards looked solemn and spoke in a cold and hard tone.

Upon hearing this, the driver showed a bit of disdain.

"With your status, you are not worthy of asking my master's name!"

He snorted in broken Chinese.
"We are the distinguished guests of the Ming Emperor. Let us in immediately!"

When the guard heard this, he became furious!
"presumptuous!"

"Somebody come!"

At a command, dozens of guards rushed up and surrounded the carriage.

The movement here also made the general on the city gate aware of it, and he quickly went down the tower in two steps.

Boom!
A flagpole poked the floor tiles, and the person in the carriage leaned out, looked up at the Forbidden City with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"The imperial city of the Ming Dynasty is still inferior to Dadu after all. It exudes a sense of pettiness."

He commented unceremoniously.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the guards around him glared at him angrily!

bass! bass!
A few of them with bad tempers had already drawn the swords from their waists, ready to kill the shameless Yuan people in front of them if they had a disagreement!

"Close the knife!"

At this moment, a majestic voice was heard.

When the guards saw their commander coming, they sheathed their swords, but their expressions were still unfriendly.

"Are you an envoy from the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"

The city gate guard Wu Fu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The Yuan man said with a bit of arrogance,
"I am Toghon Temur, the younger brother of the Yuan Emperor! I am here on a mission to the Ming Dynasty to meet the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Why don't you hurry and tell your king to come and greet you?"

Wu Fu frowned.

Why is this Northern Yuan envoy so arrogant? Even if he is the younger brother of the Yuan emperor, he has no right to act wildly in the Ming Dynasty, right?

However, out of politeness, he nodded.

"Since you are an envoy from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, I will report this to Your Majesty." Wu Fu bowed slightly and said,

"Please wait for a moment, Your Majesty is convening a grand court meeting."

After saying that, he waved to the guards and turned to enter the Forbidden City.

The guards dispersed with grim faces.

"You want me to wait?"

Toghon Temur looked a little unhappy and said,

"Shouldn't Brother's letter have been delivered long ago?"

"Why is there no preparation at all from the Ming Dynasty? There is not even anyone to welcome me? With my status, even if Zhu Yuanzhang himself comes to welcome me, at least there should be a prince waiting to welcome me!"

"Akito, don't you take me seriously?"

"Humph!"

When the driver heard this, he said in a flattering manner:
"Master, please don't be angry. I think Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know you were here in person and thought you were just an ordinary envoy, so he didn't make any preparations."

"If he knew that you were coming in person, he might have personally brought all the officials to greet you later."

Upon hearing this, Toghon Temur snorted and nodded.

"That's what it should be!"

He raised his head and said,

"I have condescended to come here, and Zhu Yuanzhang should come to greet me with great fear and trepidation."

"A few decades ago, these southerners wouldn't have been qualified to welcome me, or even kneel before me and lick my toes!"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and the guards who had retreated had sharp hearing, so they heard it clearly, and at this moment, they all had angry looks in their eyes.

But due to his duties, he could not rush up and beat the other party up. He could only stare at Toghon Temur and tightly grip the sword at his waist.

……

Outside Qianqing Gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon throne, listening to his ministers' responses.

Now that the Cabinet and the Secretariat are operating on two tracks, and with the existence of the Cardinal Council, the emperor no longer needs to handle too many government affairs during the grand court meetings.

More often than not, it was just a formality to receive officials who came to the capital. Also, if the emperor had any issues he could not make up his mind about, he would bring them up at the grand court meeting for his ministers to discuss and debate.

In recent days, there was naturally nothing else to do, and everyone was having heated discussions about the important event of the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, the military expenditure is too high! According to the budget reported by the Grand Commandery, I can only guarantee the expenditure of the three armies for half a year. After half a year, I, the Minister of Finance, will no longer be able to manage it!"

Minister of Revenue Lu Chang said with some excitement, his beard trembling.
"I don't understand. During the first Northern Expedition, military spending was only half of this! Why is it so much this time?"

"Troops, food, equipment... even rain gear has been reported. Is the Grand Commandery racking its brains to find a way to increase military spending?"

"I really can't figure out this account! Therefore, I must explain to Your Majesty that military expenditures must be cut for this Northern Expedition, otherwise the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to continue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

The army was about to set off, but Lu Chang was still worrying about this matter.

This Minister of Revenue is an absolute miser!
However, the miser's stingy character is just right for him to be the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of money.

"Xu Da, Tang He."

"You are the ones who decided the military budget. What do you think of Lu Chang's remarks?"

Upon hearing this, Tang He couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Your Majesty, I think Minister Lu is too one-sided."

He said,

"Minister Lu has been emphasizing the military expenditures of the last Northern Expedition, but don't you know that times are different now?"

"During one of the Northern Expeditions, our Ming Dynasty was still very poor. The soldiers were poorly equipped and even had no food or fodder. They were always starving and skinny."

"The weapons were in tatters, and the war horses were pitifully few! We fought against the Yuan army under such difficult conditions, and under the command of the general, we cleared the northern border."

"At that time, there was no solution! But now, since our Ming Dynasty is richer, can't we improve the treatment of the soldiers?"

Lu Chang frowned.

"Since we were able to win in this way before, it means that this is feasible..."

he whispered.

Before he could finish his words, he felt several sharp gazes falling on him, making him feel like a thorn in his back and full of pressure.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Tang He laughed and said,

"Minister Lu, why don't you tell the soldiers what you said and see if they will tear you to pieces?"

"If you have the guts to say that and can convince them to continue to fight with tattered armor and rusty weapons and only eat one meal a day, then I will respect you! We are willing to cut half of the military expenditure!"

"The question is, do you dare?"

Lu Chang: “…”

He was speechless when asked this question.

"I've also looked at the specific breakdown of military spending, and it's basically all necessities."

Zhu Yuanzhang said,

"The Ming treasury was empty before, unable to provide too many resources for the Northern Expedition, so the generals had to bear the brunt of the burden and the soldiers had to fight with their will. As we all know, due to the lack of resources, we suffered considerable losses. What made us even more regrettable was that we let Yuan Sijun and Wang Baobao escape. If the military funds were in place at that time, perhaps we could have accomplished our goal in one battle!"

"Now that our treasury is more abundant, it is time to let our Ming army go full force and fight a prosperous war!"

"Lu Chang, you should calculate this account carefully. You can also cut some expenses from other places to pay for the military expenses. You are good at this!"

Lu Chang's eyebrows were twisted into knots.

"Of course, now that we have received sufficient military funds, you have to show us how to fight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xu Da and other generals and said solemnly,
“The resources are in place so you can fully utilize your capabilities!”

"Our requirements for you have not changed. Within one year, you must achieve the goal of pacifying the northern border and destroying the Northern Yuan regime!"

"If you fail to achieve this goal, you will be wasting national funds and we will punish you!"

When the generals heard this, they all started shouting.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! In less than a year, we will be able to wipe out the remnant Yuan!"

"That's right! Since Minister Lu said that the military budget is only enough to support for half a year, then we should destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty within half a year! So that he won't keep nagging us!"

"Yes! Within half a year, the remnant of the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed! Yuan Sijun and Wang Baobao are nothing but two stray dogs!"

"..."

Zhu Ju sneered softly.

They overthrew the Northern Yuan Dynasty within half a year! In history, they suffered a great defeat!

Sure enough, these guys are still too proud. Even though several rounds of seminars have been held and each of them has written their experiences several times, deep down, they are still arrogant and look down on others.

There is no way to change this problem!

As the saying goes, you can never teach people well, but you can learn it once and for all if you let things teach you!
Only when they are defeated one day will they wake up and face their opponents! Before that, they are all just floating in the sky!
This group of guys also includes Zhu Yuanzhang.

"haha okay!"

Old Zhu smiled and said,

"What we want is your momentum!"

"If you can really destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty within half a year, we will have another big reward!"

These words caused all the generals present to cheer.

At this moment, Wu Fu came up jogging.

"Your Majesty."

"The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty requested to see you. He claimed to be the younger brother of the heir of the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

"The Northern Yuan envoy?"

He murmured, then turned to look at the officials and said with a smile,

"Guess what Yuan Sijun sent such an important person to our Ming Dynasty for?"

All the ministers looked at each other.

"Could it be... that you want to make peace?"

Song Lian stroked his beard and said,
"Yuan Sijun knows that he is not strong enough. If he confronts the Ming Dynasty head-on, there is a risk of the regime being overthrown. So he sent his brother to seek peace?"

"If that's the case, then Yuan Sijun is a man who knows the current situation."

"Ha ha……"

Liu Bowen also laughed.

"Think about how servile the Song Dynasty was when it sought peace, and how arrogant the Jin, Liao, and Yuan people were."

He said,

"Now, the situation has changed and it's the other way around!"

"The Yuan people came to negotiate peace with us Han people, hehe..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt somewhat proud!

Years of humiliation are now being paid back little by little!
"Your Majesty, if you ask for peace, you must not agree to it!"

Geng Bingwen quickly stepped out and said,
"Destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

"The soldiers are all ready and waiting to go to battle! We must not dampen their enthusiasm!"

Now that you’ve taken off your pants, don’t slack off and do your work!
"That's a bad word."

Lu Chang retorted,
"If Yuan Sijun is sincere enough in seeking peace and offers a large enough compensation, then we can reap huge benefits without fighting. Why not do it?"

"War, isn't it all about profit?"

After hearing this, several hot-tempered generals could no longer sit still.

"Bullshit! What do you know, old man? We want to completely destroy them! Do you understand?"

"That's right! You are too short-sighted! You only care about the immediate interests. You should know that as long as the Northern Yuan Dynasty exists, the borders of the Ming Dynasty will not be safe, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to expand!"

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Lu Chang! We will not accept peace talks, even if Yuan Sijun gives us his queen as compensation! We must fight!"

It is impossible to negotiate peace. It is impossible to negotiate peace in this lifetime.

This may be beneficial to the country, but for these military generals who rely on fighting to survive, it is a huge loss!
If they don't fight, what will they eat? What will they drink? How will they be able to ennoble their wives and children?
"Hahaha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,

"Be patient, be quiet."

"Why are you arguing again without saying a word?"

The ministers then quieted down and all looked at the emperor, waiting for his decision.

"Let the Northern Yuan envoy, this one called...Toghon Temur, come in first!"

Old Zhu ordered,
"After all, he is not an ordinary envoy. He is the younger brother of Yuan Sijun. Maybe he is the next heir of Beiyuan."

"Even if the two countries are at war, we still have to respect the envoy. Let him in."

Wu Fu nodded.

"According to the order!"

He responded and left.

After a while, Wu Fu turned back.

"Your Majesty, Toghon Temur said that he would only come to the Forbidden City if you go to greet him. If you cannot go... at least you should send the Crown Prince to greet him, so that it would be fair."

Wu Fu looked a little embarrassed and reported truthfully.

Ministers: “???”

"presumptuous!"

"Who does he think he is, daring to ask His Majesty to greet him? What a joke!"

"The Yuan Dogs are still so arrogant. It seems that I didn't hurt them enough last time!"

"Yeah, he should be beaten up as a son of a bitch!"

For a moment, the generals were excited and started shouting loudly.

Although they sound cruel in words, they are actually very happy in their hearts!

This kid came at the right time, and went crazy at the right time!
If you come to me in a servile manner and beg for peace, it will be even harder to beat you!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and he frowned.

"You want us to greet him in person?"

He said coldly,

"I really don't know how much I weigh, haha!"

Not to mention that he is Yuan Sijun’s younger brother, even if Yuan Sijun came in person, he is not qualified for me to greet him in person!

"Father..."

Zhu Biao suddenly said,

"The throne of the Yuan Dynasty was often passed down from elder brother to younger brother. I have also heard of Toghon Temur. I heard that he has quite a reputation within the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Perhaps he will be the next emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"It seems that he is equal to me, the Crown Prince. Why don't I go meet him and see what he has to say?"

"Even if you want to turn against each other, you have to be polite before using force."

The person who remained the calmest in the whole audience, apart from the civil officials, was Zhu Biao.

"Brother, I'm the best at dealing with bastards like this."

Zhu Ju raised his head and said,
"I'll go and see what kind of person he is."

"I am the regent of the Ming Dynasty, so it's fair for me to meet him!"

Zhu Biao hesitated slightly.

"Well, let Lao Liu go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without much hesitation and said,

"Go see him now and bring him to us!"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"Order!"

He responded and left, walking with the wind.

"Dad, if Xiaojuzi goes there...will there be trouble?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Ju's arrogant figure and said with a little worry,
"After all, they are envoys from the Yuan Dynasty, so we still have to..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly.

"Emissary? An envoy must know his own weight."

He said,

"If the emperor and the crown prince have to greet any random envoy, then can the emperor and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty still be respected?"

"Let Lao Liu go. Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers. Let Toghon Temur clear his mind before talking to us again!"

Zhu Biao: "..."

He nodded helplessly, and when he looked up, he saw that many generals were following Zhu Ju and walking outside.

These people look like they are looking for trouble!
"father……"

"It's okay. This is in the Forbidden City. Nothing will go wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, looking nonchalant.

Zhu Biao held his forehead with his hand.

You are so ignorant, Toghus! Now you can just wait to be punished by my devilish little orange!
