"..." Xu Da's expression also froze. Lao Zhu suddenly spoke so clearly that he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It is true that Yun Gong admires His Highness's knowledge, but... I do have selfish motives for adding fuel to the flames."
"There are quite a lot of rumors among the government and the public today that I am not on good terms with His Majesty."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Di a fierce look. Zhu Di was so frightened that he quickly and silently let go of the cake in his hand...
"Let Yungong serve as His Highness the Fifth Highness. Firstly, His Highness is truly astonishingly talented and is trying to let Yungong learn a thing or two. Secondly, I want to eliminate the discussion between the government and the public. The Xu family... can also feel better."
"It's hard? What's wrong? Who dares to make it hard for Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty?" Lao Zhu's voice was extremely domineering, but every word he said was heart-breaking. "It's just that you think your military achievements are high, and you're worried
I'm worried that I'm going to be jealous of you, worried that I'm going to kill the donkey. I'm worried that I'm going to imitate Liu Bang and give Xu Tiande a label of rebellion. After that, I'm going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, right?"
"I! I don't dare!" Xu Da's expression changed drastically, and he immediately left the table and knelt down heavily in front of Lao Zhu. When the others saw that he was angry, they also quickly left the table and knelt down, not daring to speak. Only Zhu Su
There is also Xianxin who commented on Lao Zhu’s performance: He has such a domineering spirit!
"Why don't you dare! You have closed the door to thank guests these days and have not entered the military camp. You don't even dare to meet your old friends from the army who want to drink with you. You shut yourself up in the house like a little daughter-in-law and never leave the house.
"Mai, don't you just want to avoid suspicion?" Lao Zhu snorted. "You and I grew up together, and now we are the only ones here who are also called junior ministers! You must be alienated from us!"
"This...old brother, you can't say that." Xu Da made a bitter look on his face and raised his head with an aggrieved look: "I...I can't help it."
"The last time I went back to the Northern Expedition, I was careless and underestimated the enemy, which gave Meng Yuan a chance to breathe. Now that the situation is like this, if I raise a large force to attack Bei Yuan again in the Ming Dynasty, it will be like the old man hanging himself - I feel that my life is too long."
"Let me tell you, it's wrong!"
"Don't you dare to die for Your Majesty!" Witnessing this scene of mutual respect between the king and his ministers, Li Wenzhong was also greatly moved, and immediately gave a great gift to express his excitement. Zhu Su and other brothers had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow together. Xu Da was also a tiger's eye.
With tears in my eyes, I felt extremely ashamed of my behavior of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
"The Ming Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate! Now is not the time for us to show off our ferocity in the war. If I don't restrain myself, those arrogant and powerful generals who have no war, why don't they put me up and roast me on the fire?"
"You and others all think that after tomorrow, the troops must be sent to Kuma and released to Nanshan. Today, I will tell you and others the real plan we have hidden in our hearts!" He looked proud and slowly held the scroll in his hand.
Open it. When everyone took a closer look, Zhu Su couldn't help but complain in his heart: This is not my world map... Oh no, the Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms!
"So you think that we don't need you anymore and are going to take action against you, right?" Lao Zhu snorted and laughed. "Wenzhong and Lao Wu, juniors like them, are all here today, and they just give us and you some time to wait.
Uncle, be a witness."
"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, left our words here today. But as long as I, the Ming Dynasty, are here, Xu will not betray Zhu, and Zhu will not abandon Xu!"
"No matter how hard the sun and the moon turn, it will never be easy! Xu Tiande, you underestimated me, Zhu Yuanzhang. Do you think that since we started from the same humble age as Liu Bang, we will do the same thing as him?"
It's just that... these words still avoided the important and did not mention at all that he was worried about Lao Zhu attacking his heroes. Zhu Su couldn't help but sigh that these people were all old foxes.
"Old brother... no, Your Majesty..." Xu Da was really moved. Even though he was a military god, when it came to winning people's hearts, he was still dozens of steps lower than Lao Zhu.
"No need to be too polite. Do you know why we have to say these words here in front of our son, you and Wenzhong?" Lao Zhu helped Xu Da up and motioned for Li Wenzhong, Zhu Su and others to come over.
, then he continued. Xu Da shook his head to express his ignorance. Lao Zhu smiled and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve.
"Beyond the Ming Dynasty, there are still so many lands. It's ridiculous that all dynasties and dynasties thought they were in heaven and settled in a corner without knowing it."
Such a person must be appeased no matter what. I have already promised that the Xu family and the country will be of the same family.
"Next, I'm afraid that the stalemate with Meng Yuan will continue with the Great Wall as the boundary. There won't be any big battles to fight for a while."
Lao Zhu chuckled and looked at the surprised people. He now fully understood what was going on when Zhu Su looked at him and Zhu Biao when he said this. Use a prophetic vision to see
It’s really fun to see these country bumpkins. “Now, do you know how big the world is?”
"Brother, if you want to stockpile weapons, I want to avoid making it difficult for you..."
"You think that the Ming Dynasty will not need soldiers in the future? You are wrong! We intend to imitate the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and enfeoff the countries to outer borders, thinking that we, China, will continue to expand our territory and carry forward our Ming Dynasty clothes!"
As expected of the Duke of Wei, his eyes were whipped in. He could see at a glance that the Ming Dynasty no longer had the ability to destroy the Meng Yuan in one fell swoop. The most important and important thing now was to put weapons into the treasury and cultivate and recuperate.
Lao Zhu's words were unequivocal and could not be questioned. He had already listened to the history of the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Su's mouth, and knew that Xu Da himself was someone he could absolutely trust. Even though he later received a cold reception from him, he still devoted himself to training troops in Peking to prepare for confrontation.
Meng Yuan.
"Wait and see, this is my Ming Dynasty, and this is the world..." Lao Zhu pointed at the map and said. As soon as he said this, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and others were shocked.
"What? Our Ming Dynasty is so vast, but we only have this small area of a palm?"
"Tiande, you think you are unblockable? You are wrong."
"Don't let your daughter tell you about the conspiracies of past dynasties. It's just like a dog. We are too lazy to learn those so-called imperial methods, and we won't do them!"
"I'm telling you clearly now, if you can make great contributions to our Ming Dynasty."
"We will not hesitate to make your Xu family a vassal king!"
Lao Zhu pointed at Xu Da, who was already in a daze. This sentence was like thunder, and Xu Da's ears were buzzing!
The princes and kings thought that their fame in this life had reached the point where they could no longer be sealed, and they had already reached the bottom line of the king. If he took another step forward, he would definitely be afraid of death without a burial place. But now he heard that he actually did not recommend it.
Make you a vassal king?
It is not an exaggeration to say that the difference between the Dukes of the Ming Dynasty and the princes and kings of the Zhou Dynasty is as great as clouds and mud!
The key is, looking at the map, Xu Da felt that what his brother said might be true!
Zhu Su looked at the high-spirited Lao Zhu with a look of shock. Although he proposed to restart the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system, he only wanted to let Ming take advantage of the opportunity to take over the surrounding countries, and then let the prince surnamed Zhu serve as the
Ping Fan's defense of foreign countries was just subtle.
Good guy, does Lao Zhu want to learn everything from the Zhou Dynasty in one step and directly let the domestic military leaders lead the soldiers to establish foundations in foreign territories?
