Father can be an enemy to the country

"People always have dreams." The prince smiled and sighed: "What's more, from invigilation to marking, it is not easy for them to shave their heads."

"As long as I am still asked to give the questions, I'm sure they won't do it either." Zhu Zhen sneered and said, "If you don't shave your head, I will take their surname!"

"So you must not get into trouble this time. What if your father is so angry that he is put into solitary confinement? How can you ask questions?" Zhu Biao said softly.

"I understand, brother, don't worry." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I rushed back here just to calm my father down, right?"

While they were talking, Wu Yingdian arrived, and the prince stopped talking and said, "Let's deal with the immediate situation first, and we'll talk about this later."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded. After being informed, he took a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and walked into the palace like a treacherous minister.

"Father, son..." The flattering voice of the Dian King of Chu Hai sounded in the Wuying Palace.

"Kneel down!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted his casting with a dark face.

"Yes..." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to kneel down obediently.

"What did you do?" Boss Zhu cursed:

"Weren't you very smart when you were a kid? No matter what errands were given to you, you could handle them all without missing a beat. Fortunately, we told people everywhere that the sixth child was the Qilin son of our old Zhu family. What a Qilin, bah, Xiong Xiazi still... almost!"

"Dad, just say what you want to say, and don't make personal attacks." The prince tried to persuade him from the side.

"Why do you feel bad after just scolding him? I want to beat him up!" Zhu Yuanzhang made a gesture and bent down to take off his shoes, but the prince quickly stopped him.

"Are you still protecting him? He has lost his mansion! This is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! The face of our old Zhu family has been completely humiliated by this kid!" Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry.

"It's not that, it's not that..." The prince smiled bitterly and shook his head, while comforting Lao Liu:

"What my father said was angry..."

"You're so angry, we're going to explode!" Although Zhu Yuanzhang straightened up, he still blew his beard and glared. It is too difficult for a person who has won all his life to accept defeat, not to mention that the loser is his most proud son.

"Father, calm down, please listen to me first!" Zhu Zhen finally said loudly.

"That's right, let's listen to what Lao Liu has to say first." The prince nodded vigorously.

"Let it go!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and finally shut up.

"Yes, that's when I started to fart... First of all, according to the emperor's decree, there are no official posts outside Sanjiang, so the Jingdong Military and Civilian Mansion does not have any soldiers from the imperial court. The so-called battle of Jingdong is basically two chieftains In a war between the two countries, how can the failure be blamed on the imperial court?" Zhu Zhen said plausibly.

"You still dare to quibble?!" Boss Zhu became even more angry and asked: "Let me ask you, is Jingdong Mansion a palace of the imperial court? Is Etao a prefect of the imperial court? Is he fighting for the imperial court in this battle? Why is he not fighting for the imperial court? "

"It's not my father. We don't have to put the shit basin on our head." Zhu Zhen said helplessly: "Besides, if you can't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf, and if you can't bear the wife, you can't trap the gangster. If you want to send Silun's army To lead him out of Luchuan, you have to give him something sweet to eat!"

After a pause, he whispered: "Besides, I am not my biological son, but my biological daughter-in-law..."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and sneered: "It seems that he deliberately lost Jingdong Mansion. Can you save some face?"

"Back to my father, of course I can't say that Jingdong's defeat was intentional, but it was also expected!" Zhu Zhen replied unhurriedly: "In fact, my father has decreed that there will be no official posts outside Sanjiang. Later, there was a powerful enemy like Luchuan outside Sanjiang, so Jingdong's defeat was completely foreseeable."

Seeing him repeating "There are no exiled officials outside Sanjiang", Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark, and he thought that he was a good man and dared to pull my pigtails. He asked with a dark face:

"Then you try to make up for it, why don't you just do nothing and just watch Jingdong Mansion be lost?"

"Because Erchen and Brother Wenying agreed that when dealing with the barbarians beyond the Three Rivers, we should not care about the gains and losses of one city or one pool, but should focus on annihilating their effective forces... The southwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the so-called Luchuan Kingdom, Although the country claims to span 8,000 miles, it only has a population of a few million. The available troops do not exceed 300,000, of which there are only 100,000 combat soldiers. So as long as they try to annihilate these 100,000 main troops, they will After a setback, we will not be able to regain our combat effectiveness for at least ten years!"

After a pause, Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "But in Yunnan, where there are many barbarians, those native chiefs who believe in the law of the jungle will not give Silun a chance to make a comeback!"

"So Erchen and Brother Wenying have always had a very clear goal... that is to do everything possible to lure the snake out of the hole and create an opportunity for a decisive battle with Silunfa's army in the open area!" Zhu Zhen said with emphasis:

"As long as there is one such opportunity, the so-called Luchuan Kingdom will disappear from this world, and the entire Yunnan will completely belong to the Ming Dynasty and my father!"

"For this, we are willing to pay some price, even if the price is higher, we will not hesitate!" His final impassioned look was completely unlike an act.

"Haha, you have really grown up, and now you are so eloquent!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, looked at the prince and said:

"Lao Liu said that losing Jingdong Mansion was part of his plan. Boss, do you believe this?"

"It was expected, not planned." Zhu Zhen quickly corrected.

"My son, I will always believe in you." The prince's answer was heartwarming. He smiled and said, "Not to mention Brother Wenying."

"Hmph, just protect him..." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips angrily. He looked at Zhu Zhen and said, "If that's what you say, wouldn't it mean that our worries were in vain and we wouldn't need to go to war?"

"That's right, it's just Luchuan. There is no need to mobilize troops from other provinces at all." Zhu Zhen said confidently: "We don't even need to use the troops from various garrison posts in Yunnan. We only rely on the 30,000 troops from the provincial capital. A standing army will suffice.”

"You have such a loud tone, are you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully.

"My son doesn't know how to fight. But Brother Wenying does. He said that 30,000 people are enough. I don't trust people when I hire them, and I don't trust people when I don't use them. Naturally, I trust him." Zhu Zhen said lightly.

"Oh, is Wenying really such a guarantee?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked slightly brighter. In terms of military matters alone, his confidence in Mu Ying was much stronger than that of Lao Liu.

"How can a son dare to deceive the emperor in this matter?" Zhu Zhen said, telling Mu Ying all his plans.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully and interrupted Zhu Zhen from time to time to ask about the specific arrangements. Fortunately, Zhu Zhen had done his homework repeatedly on the way back, otherwise he would have been questioned by the old man.
