The sunshine is still the original sunshine, and the streets are also the original streets, but in people's eyes, they are no longer the same.

In the morning, there are no more bustling vendors, no more pedestrians coming and going, and there are even fewer children playing. The shops facing the street still have doors and windows. Although there are no customers, there are hopes of doing business when opening the doors and opening the doors. You still have to make money for food, and life will not take care of people's mood.

Wu Anguo rode his horse on the bluestone street with a few guards. The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence like death. Passers-by pinched them with their eyelids and quickly lowered their heads to get off their work. Although no one dared to stop his horse's head, Wu Anguo himself could feel the hostility of the people. Just a few days ago, they were still welcomed by the hero who returned triumphantly. He smiled helplessly, kicked the horse's belly, and the mount accelerated. Although this horse was not as handsome as the Ben Lei who stayed in Liaodong, he was also one in a hundred, and the palace was soon in front of him.

He jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the guards on the side, and sorted out his clothes. Without fighting, Wu'anguo was wearing the Ming military officer uniform, which was not Liaodong. The camouflage of Zhenbei Army could not be swayed in front of the emperor. Although the Ming Dynasty clothes were very uncomfortable to wear. He took out his hand clock to see it. It was still early. It was probably a while before the prince and the King of Yan arrived. Wu'anguo slowly walked into the court room and found a seat to rest.

The court room that no one waited for the court was clean and cool, not as frustrated as outside. Wu Anguo himself was unwilling to be exposed to the eyes of everyone from the heart. In the 21st century, he always mocked the African army that did not resist foreign humiliation but could only massacre the people of his country. History just made a big joke with him. He has done the same thing these days. Whether he was doing it himself or not, the Zhenbei Army played a key role in this "rest". Holding the goal of serving the country and the people, it eventually became a tool of political struggle. The greater the credit, the more shame he felt. However, he was the only one in the Zhenbei Army. Every day, he felt very lonely and helpless when he looked at the lower-level officers who were waiting for the emperor's rewards every day.

"Holding a grand goal but creating a deformity. What did I do?" The deep self-blame made it difficult for him to breathe. Looking at his increasingly pale face, Liu Ling was very worried. He could not relieve his pain by soft words and soft words. He was afraid that something would happen to him, so he had to repeatedly persuade him with the stories of selling shoes, hoping that he would not be impulsive.

"Here you come." Listening to the sound of horse hooves outside, Wu Anguo knew that the prince and the king of Yan had arrived, so he stood up to greet him. The prince obviously had not had a good sleep, and his eyes were covered with blood. King of Yan Zhu Di was still in a quiet look, but his expression was inadvertently showing a trace of fatigue. The three of them greeted him and ordered the eunuchs on duty to come to the palace to report.

After a while, Eunuch Wang came out to greet everyone, telling everyone that the emperor was in the imperial study room, and Xuan and the other two met together. Carefully walked around the hall from the side, passed through an aisle between two palace walls, and came to the door of the imperial study room. The soldiers of Zhenbei Army who were patrolling on the road saluted the three of them. Looking at the soldiers' stern military appearance, Wu Anguo was in a less relaxed mood. After all, it was the result of his own sweat.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously in a good mood. The three of them were given a great ceremony for the monarch and ministers, and were given a seat. Sitting with the emperor to discuss the problem, even Zhu Yuanzhang's biological son was a rare honor. Suddenly he was favored, the three of them were a little confused about how to deal with it. However, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first to break the deadlock and said with a smile: "Sit down, if you are not in the court today, we father, son, monarch and ministers, don't we have to stick to so many etiquettes. Fourth, don't you often hold roundtable meetings in the army? Why are you restrained in front of me?"

"My son respects the order", Zhu Di took the lead in sitting on a half stool. In recent years, as he grows older and his father's distance, the royal majesty has become increasingly heavy, and it is like a palace wall in the middle of family affection. "The round table is a story about my son listening to the story of a barbarian country in the distance. He was curious for a moment. The prince's brother had already warned me that if my father feels it is inappropriate, he will correct his mistakes after returning to Liaodong."

"There is no need to change. Although the barbarian country is small, there are some things that I do not have in China. If you think it is helpful to you, just do it. The "Li Si's Letter to Exile Guests" is well written, 'Taishan does not allow the soil, so it can become big; the rivers and seas do not choose the streams, so it can be deep; the kings do not abandon the common people, so it can be clear about their virtues.' Our country of China must have a mind to tolerate the four barbarians in order to make the four barbarians surrender. However, the etiquette of the king and the ministers cannot be abolished. When talking about official affairs, you can not avoid taboos and speak without saying anything. You should not be so casual in daily life." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a book on the table and shook it to everyone, "You have a Bo Wenyuan in Peking, who has written a good article. Although you donate some crazy things, it is very meaningful. This article "The Six Classics Debate" is very insightful. After returning to Peking, you visit him and don't let the great wise elders beneath the Linquan."

"My son thanked his father for his advice." Zhu Di felt relieved. He thought Zhu Yuanzhang would scold him, but he didn't expect that his father was not very opposed to his round table. "My son went to visit him when he returned. This person had heard of him, and he was a disciple of Mr. Guichen and was quite famous."

Wu Anguo did not expect that a few months after he left, Bo Wenyuan's articles actually spread to the capital. It seems that the influence of the retro movement that was popular in Peking was gradually growing. Over the past year, Guo Pu and him worked hard on the retro Confucianism in Peking. In Guo Pu's view, Confucianism after the Han Dynasty distorted the original intention of the sage and needed to return to the original source. However, Wu Anguo believed in the mind that the so-called retro was actually just an innovation borrowed from the shell of the sage. This innovation was obviously utilitarian and supported by the merchants of Peking. Otherwise, no one would have paid to print this book that lost money and gained publicity. Bo Wenyuan, who was taught by the great scholar Wang Kekuan (a great scholar in the early Ming Dynasty, majoring in the history of the Yuan Dynasty), obviously took a big step forward than his teachers and fellow disciples, pushing Confucianism to a new level.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say to the prince: "Yesterday your mother advised me not to make things difficult for Song Lian, saying that the people are the sons of Yanshi, and they still have courtesy to do the whole world. The family of the emperor must respect the teacher and respect the truth. I think it makes sense. He has sent someone to let him go and no longer pursue his relationship with Hu Weiyong." Wu Anguo quickly came to his senses and continued to listen to the main topic in the classroom.

The prince's eyes turned red, he stood up to salute and thanked him. Zhu Di and Wu Anguo quickly stood up and went to the side. Zhu Yuanzhang helped his son sit down, looked at Zhu Biao's desire to speak but stopped, sighed and said, "You have a pure heart and a kindness to be a father. However, you cannot govern the country with the kindness of a woman. The laws of the country cannot be changed by the rule of the emperor by being close to the close. Treason is a serious crime. Song Lian no longer became an official last year, so he may not know about Hu Weiyong's conspiracy. He can be dismissed, but others should not be in vain. The legislation must be strict so that the people can be convinced. If the serious crime is easily pardoned, I am afraid that everyone will try the law with his own heart in the future. This is a way to cause disaster, not what the wise emperor should do."

Zhu Biao lowered his head and said nothing. While his father turned around and returned to his seat, he looked at Wu Anguo with apologies, shook his head, showing an expression of helplessness. When Zhu Di saw the topic of talking about the ministers in the rebellion case, he quickly interrupted and said, "Father, I have something to report to my son."

"Tell me, I said it was not the court, so there was no need to be polite. But if I repeat yesterday's plea, there was no need to be. I have already made it clear. The fourth brother, you are determined and decisive, and you are a general. I believe you would not say such useless words." Zhu Yuanzhang saw his son being polite and thought it was another plea, and he was a little unhappy.

"No, my son wants to say goodbye to his father. I will take a boat back to Liaodong with General Wu tomorrow." Zhu Di replied with a smile, and the sudden change of topic made everyone slightly stunned.

"I'm leaving so quickly"? Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, and he showed reluctance in his words. His son had been busy quelling the chaos for a few days these days, and the father and son had never had a family dinner. Thinking that the battle situation in Liaodong was not decided, Cao Zhen and others had no news of the sneak attack on the Goryeo King Capital. They really needed to send someone to preside over the overall situation. They nodded slightly and said, "Liaodong is not decided, you should go. I will stay with the Marquis of Liao for a few days. When this matter is done, I will send someone to help you." Seeing that Zhu Di was a little hesitant, he knew that he was unwilling to leave Wu'anguo.

Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed for him again, "No major happening in Liaodong. General Tang is enough to keep Li Chenggui away. Besides, I don't look like I really want to cross the river when I see Li Chenggui's return. The power of King Goryeo fell, and the government affairs were controlled by Cui and Li's families. The two families were evenly matched and were afraid of each other, so there was no trouble in the court. You have destroyed the Cui family in Liaodong. I guess the Li family will take action. If it were not impossible to explain to the people, I think this boy named Li might do something and want to perform a Chenqiao mutiny for everyone to see."

Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and Wu'anguo were both shocked. The three of them never doubted the purpose of Li Chenggui's attempt to cross the river and even though they knew it was difficult to cross the river, they still wanted to squat the country's troops on the river. They always thought that he wanted to fight to the death, so they all thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was too reckless to draw the Northern Army back to Beijing at the last battle. After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, they couldn't help but fight a cold war. They had to plot against the country in the face of trouble, and human nature was so sinister.

Little do they know that Chinese culture is all-encompassing and has been unique in political conspiracy since ancient times, and there are many insidious people. In the eyes of emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Chenggui's actions are all children's families that can be seen through at a glance, and they are not worth a single selenium at all.

"Thank you father", Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were given a vivid political class by Zhu Yuanzhang using a living example, and thanked each other. Wu Anguo couldn't help but worry about Cao Zhen's safety. If the reality is really as Zhu Yuanzhang said, Cao Zhen's army was no different to help the Li family and exempted the moral responsibility he had to bear for himself. At that time, Li Chenggui raised his arms and shouted, and Cao Zhen's lonely army would inevitably fall into the ocean of revenge of the Goryeo people.

Before he could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang said as if he knew his thoughts: "The plan to destroy Shu was good. I thought that the Marquis of Jinghai was a person who knew the importance of the matter and would act according to the opportunity. I have already drawn troops from Shandong and Hebei to Weihaiwei to take advantage of the situation and make the stance of being ready to cross the sea to the east. If the father and son of the Li family want to take advantage of the situation, they should also consider it. Humph, it is not that easy to be clever in front of me." The last sentence specially increased the tone, which made the listener feel tremble.

"Father, Emperor, wise" and "Emperor, wise". At this moment, Wu'anguo admired the emperor in front of him like a surging river. If he had no ability, Zhu Yuanzhang would not stand out from dozens of rebel troops and ascend to the throne of the emperor. He would not be played with in his hands and feet when doing things.

"Father, I went to Liaodong mainly to join various tribes. In addition to Mongolia, Goryeo and Jurchens, there are more than 20 different ethnic groups in Liaodong. It turns out that everyone calls them Nuzhi, but in fact there are very different. I sent Chen Shitai and Su Ceyu to contact them and make an appointment with them to meet the Liaoyang alliance this year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and to respect my father as Tian Khan. There is not much time left. I take advantage of the south wind on the sea these two days, and I need to take advantage of the south wind on the sea to rush over." Zhu Di brought the words back to the topic, with only more than 20 days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I need to hurry up and he can no longer delay in the capital.

"Oh, Tian Khan, I didn't expect that I would be the head of the barbarians. This title is good, Tian Khan, the Khan of the world." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. The fourth brother is the fourth brother. He always makes people happy in his work. "Go, be careful, I have left your amulet, Ping Liaohou, take care of yourself." After all, I felt a little reluctant. If Wu'anguo had not sacrificed his life to save him twice, he would never have seen this son again.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to keep Wu'anguo. He reminded him: "Your armor that shook the Northern Army is unparalleled in the world. We wear two more layers when you go out. The armor is much lighter than the armor that I used to go into battle back then. Don't be too heavy. When you come back from Liaodong, our family will reunite. After my father promised all the ministers to pacify Liao last year, they would drink at the Zhonghua Gate?" He also thought that half of the ministers who sent the King of Yan to the expedition last year had gone to prison, and he felt a little sad.

"Father, my son thinks that there are too few Han people in the Liaodong area. Although I drove away Goryeo, I may not be sure that another ethnic group will be raised. In this way, we are purely for wedding dresses, so we have to think about ways to govern Liaodong."

"This is a difficult problem. Immigration hurts the people too much. Haven't you sold the land to the people? Isn't it enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He had only wanted to recover the old land of the Han and Tang dynasties before, but he did not consider what to do after the recovery.

"I sold some, but I went to the farmer. Scholars thought it was a bitter and cold place and rarely went there. In a few years, the ministers would probably not know which tribe they were. If they really occupied these places, the barbarians admired our Chinese education, and scholars would have to help them. Not only that, Mongolia will surrender in the future, but they will also face this problem." Zhu Di talked freely about how to govern Liaodong, he had his own set of ideas.

"Scholars and scholars are all delicate, and I don't want to be too rude to them. This really makes me feel a little embarrassed." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Looking at me, Zhu Di winked at Wu Anguo with some pride. Wu Anguo was so excited that he immediately understood what he was going to do, and a hint of joy appeared on his solemn face.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, glanced at the three of them, and said, "You three have any good suggestions, tell me if you have any good suggestions."

"Father Emperor", Zhu Di stood up, walked to the map with picturesque mountains, pointed to the map and said, "Now I have everything south of the Liaohe River. After this autumn, except for the Jinshan and other tribes in Mongolia, where no one cares about the places north of the Liaohe River, my sons also chose dangerous places to build cities, and they were clearly responsible for establishing a place for transactions among various ethnic groups and implementing supervision responsibilities. In the whole of Liaodong, there are people but no officials, which is inconvenient to manage. If the father is kind and involves the Hu Ni case, give some of those who are not well-known for their evidence and are not clear about the crime. Even if he is sent to Liaodong to make meritorious contributions, he will save his sons' urgent needs."

"Absurd!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, scaring Zhu Di to tremble. "I just told you that the national laws are not enough, and I am still turning around and circled with me. Is there no one in my Ming Dynasty? I have to find these traitors to promote education. When we arrive in Liaodong, what should we do if they collude to rebel? What should we do if we affair with Mongolia?..." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his son with his finger and scolded him sternly. He originally wanted to communicate well between father and son today, but he expected that these two boys would collude to deal with him, which was really unhealthy. He was angry because his son did not listen to his opinions.

Seventy percent of the time is that they hate their two sons to regress as they grow older, and they all talk about the kindness of women. In his legal concept, ruling chaotic times requires serious punishment. Only by deterrence by torture and law can greater changes be avoided and the royal interests and national stability can we safeguard the rebellion again. If civil strife recurs, human life is not worth a rope, which is greater indecency. In order to maintain stable rule, sacrifice some people and unjustly kill some people are all wise choices for the emperor. These two sons obviously do not agree with their own ideas, but they have to show mercy to the rebels, which really makes him angry.

"Stop your anger and listen to me." Wu'anguo saw that the King of Yan was so scared that he dared not speak again. He knew that the time was not the time to make a statement, but he still had to stand up.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped reprimanding Zhu Di and said angrily: "Tell me."

"Long live, according to my opinion, you must follow the law. The law should not be taken lightly or in vain. Hu rebels rebelled, the evidence is conclusive, and the crimes cannot be forgiven." Speaking of this, Wu'anguo deliberately stopped and used the sunlight outside to observe Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

"Let's continue" Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Wu Anguo to support him, and his face cleared a little. He let Zhu Di go and ordered Wu Anguo to continue.

"However, law enforcement officers should not kill them in vain, otherwise it would be a despicable act to the law. If the employing people is inappropriate, or if someone uses them to wrongly accuse good people and seeks credit, it will become a harsh law, which is contrary to the original intention of the emperor." Wu'anguo thought about not angering Zhu Yuanzhang, but also let him kill innocent people.

"Speak on," Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm and thought to himself, you three are clearly in the same group. If you want to see me these days, I will know that you want to plead for the Hu Party. Maybe you are the prince and the King of Yan were all bad. I will see how you speak sweetly.

"According to the opinions of the ministers, many of the rebels arrested by the Jinyiwei this time were wronged."

"Oh, in this way, you are Lord Qingtian"?

Wu Anguo ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's sarcasm and made a firm decision to finish his words. "I am not the sky, I am just considering this from an ordinary perspective. Take the Grand Tutor as an example. He is united with Your Majesty and dies to win the world. He is the best of the meritorious ministers and ranks the third Duke. In addition, he has a relationship with Your Majesty. He can be said to be a high-ranking official below one person and above ten thousand people. If he wants to rebel himself, he can still believe it because people are not in a good mood. It is clear that he assisted Hu Weiyong in treason. Your Majesty please calm down and think about it carefully. He helped Hu Ni to rebel.

After his achievements, Hu Ni gave him the greatest benefit, which was not higher than his current status, and he did not have another daughter to marry Hu Weiyong's son. Once the rebellion failed, the whole family would be executed. This is such a big difference between the price and the income. What would he do with such a smart person like Taishi? Besides, when he conquered the world with Your Majesty, there were more princes who were stronger than Your Majesty. Even the Taishi did not betray you. Now he rebelled for a slim wealth. Is it worth his way? If Your Majesty puts himself in his shoes, he will know how unfair the Taishi was."

These sentences are very reasonable. Zhu Yuanzhang originally had some doubts about whether he had wronged Li Shanchang, but in front of many confessions, he also held an attitude of believing in his presence rather than not. Moreover, the court system was mostly made by the good chief. Among the officials, the good chief had a high prestige, so it would be no harm to him to take the opportunity to get rid of Li Shanchang. This unspeakable thought was now questioned by Wu'anguo's righteous and righteous chief. He endured his anger and replied: "You have made some sense, but Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang have been friends for many years, and Li Shanchang promoted him. Now Hu Weiyong rebelled, and the good chief could not refuse the blame."

"The Grand Tutor is not recommended by someone properly, and he must bear the responsibility for the recommendation, but this has nothing to do with rebellion." Wu'anguo struck while the iron was hot.

"Okay, I will follow you and let Li Shanchang go." Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to get involved in this matter anymore. He sent an order to remove the soldiers besieging Li Shanchang's family and ask him to meet him tomorrow morning, and then asked Wu Anguo: "This will bring you your thoughts!"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao repeatedly winked at Wu Anguo and signaled that he would stop when he saw it. It was very difficult to save Song Lian and Li Shanchang today. Zhu Yuanzhang never took any light sentences when dealing with his ministers. Anyway, there is still time in the future. I will slowly find a way not to get out of here, so that Long Live can't come to Taiwan.

Wu Anguo looked at him and thanked the prince for his righteousness. Before returning to the capital, he knelt down and begged everyone to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to do less killing. The prince and the King of Yan agreed in sympathy. In recent days, the two of them have done their best to do this. However, if they do not take advantage of Li Shanchang's injustice to seize the time to stop Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of involuntary connection today, I don't know how many people will be implicated tomorrow. The history that Wu Anguo knows tells him that he must do everything possible to do what he should do, even if it is

It is not that he can't see Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and now he is no longer the one who has no worries a year ago, but no matter how much he cares, someone must stand up and speak when necessary. In order for that dark history to no longer be repeated, someone must burn his life to illuminate the darkness. Thinking about the courage Li Shanping said back then, he told his disciples how to detour. Now he realized that sometimes there is no room for retreat in reality.
