The next day, in the court of Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again asked Zhu Biao to read out an edict in public, announcing his plan to tour the west to the world! After hearing this edict, all the civil and military officials were shocked!

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly decide to tour the west, and it would be a few months later!

There is still half a year before the Chinese New Year, which means that after the Chinese New Year, the emperor will leave Yingtian Prefecture and go to the northwest? .

Originally, only a few people knew about this matter, and it should have been the crown prince Zhu Biao who was supposed to tour the west, but now it was the emperor himself who went! This also shocked several officials who were originally aware of the situation! Of course, in addition to being shocked, many officials began to panic!

If the emperor was to leave Beijing for a tour to the west, he would inevitably come into contact with more people and things in the folk, and some of the things they did in the local area might be directly turned over by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Especially the group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu! Since the business in the northwest suddenly became prosperous, they have secretly sent people to do it, hoping to get a share of the northwest! After the morning court, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang back to the imperial study.

Just after the announcement of the emperor's intention to tour the west, the father and son saw the reactions of the civil and military officials in the court! Needless to say, many people have problems, and there are many people who stand up to dissuade them!

But what Zhu Yuanzhang decided is definitely not something that these people can change!

The more they dissuaded, the more guilty they seemed, and in the end they could only acquiesce to this fact!

But this still puzzled Zhu Biao!

"Father, isn't it too hasty to announce the tour so early?"

In Zhu Biao's view, even if the old man has determined the time for the tour and wants to prepare for it, he should do the preparations privately and announce it when the tour is almost about to start! If the old man wanted to catch all the officials off guard, he shouldn't have announced the news half a year in advance. Wouldn't this give these officials time to prepare? "I think it's just right to announce it now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed disapprovingly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was exactly the opposite of Zhu Biao's!

It's okay to catch all the officials off guard, but Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is not here. He is not targeting those ordinary corrupt officials, but those nobles and important officials! Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to beat them all to death with one stick, but more importantly, to beat them!

Besides, if we don't tell these people the news 333 days ago, how could they make any moves? As long as there is any movement, it will naturally reveal its flaws!

These Jinyiwei trained by Zhu Yuanzhang are not for display!

I'm not afraid of you moving, I'm afraid of you not moving! With more than half a year of ample time, Zhu Yuanzhang could have seen which clowns in the court would be the first to jump out and make moves. Zhu Biao was naturally smart, but he just hadn't figured it out yet!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident look, he seemed to immediately think of the old man's intention!

But at the same time, he was secretly relieved!

At least the old man didn't mean to kill people, which was good news! Zhu Biao was not worried about other people, but he was most worried about the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu!

After returning from the battle in Mobei in the 20th year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was officially named Duke of the State the following year, and was appointed as a general. He was very proud and in the limelight!

Even the entire Huaixi nobles became arrogant! In the past three or four years, Lan Yu relied on his military merits and his style of behavior became more and more arrogant! And how could Zhu Yuanzhang not know about Lan Yu's style? But Zhu Yuanzhang chose to turn a blind eye, unless Lan Yu was really too much, he would scold him, but that was the most! After all, there was still a crown prince Zhu Biao who would plead for him! But in fact, if Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to move Lan Yu, even Zhu Biao could not stop him! Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately indulged this guy, so that he would eventually get carried away and suffer the consequences!

To put it bluntly, it was a case of flattery!

Lan Yu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be willing to move him, and he was Zhu Biao's uncle, so he was naturally fearless and did not notice the crisis at all!

He didn't know that if it weren't for Zhu Biao, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang long ago!

Now he is indulged blindly, just to make it easier to kill him in the future, and even make Zhu Biao unable to find an excuse to stop him!

Zhu Yuanzhang might let other Huaixi nobles go because of Zhu Biao, but Lan Yu would definitely not be included! People in later generations are analyzing that if Zhu Biao was still alive, or even if Zhu Biao died, but the emperor was Zhu Yunhuan, Lan Yu would not have to die!

But in fact, such thinking is too one-sided!

Lan Yu might not rebel against Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao might not be able to completely control him! It's a simple truth. Even the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't completely control Lan Yu, so how could Zhu Biao do it?

Is it just because he called Lan Yu uncle?

Zhu Yuanzhang's character is destined not to pin his hopes on Lan Yu being grateful to Zhu Biao and using him for his own purposes! The emperor is ruthless, and he doesn't believe in such emotional ties!

If Zhu Yunhuan becomes the emperor, he will not tolerate Lan Yu even more!

Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, and Zhu Biao is gone too. What if Lan Yu, like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, wants to play the trick of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes?

So before Zhu Yuanzhang died, Lan Yu's fate was almost certain, and it would not change because of whether Zhu Biao died young!

It was just that Zhu Biao would protect Lan Yu, so Zhu Yuanzhang could not do anything, so he let him continue to be arrogant! When the charges against him became more and more serious, and even Zhu Biao could not defend him, it would be natural!

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang only planned to crack down on some important officials including Lan Yu, because he had already decided to pass the throne to the fourteenth old man!In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter how rebellious Lan Yu was, he had to lie down in front of the Fourteenth Old Man!

Only the Fourteenth Old Man had the ability to really swing this knife!

In other words, it was only when Su Wang Zhu Jian became the emperor that Lan Yu had the chance to survive!

Of course, it depends on whether Zhu Jian thinks highly of him and is willing to use him! It is undeniable that Lan Yu is indeed a good hand at marching and fighting, but the Fourteenth Old Man himself, his generals, including his two sons, are no worse than Lan Yu!

If Lan Yu still wants to continue to be the Duke of Liang, unless he is completely convinced by the Fourteenth Old Man and is willing to be the knife in his hand, there is no way he can continue to live!

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let Lan Yu go. He intends to let the Fourteenth Old Man decide Lan Yu's fate! ……

The Duke of Liang's Mansion.

A group of Huaixi nobles, led by Lan Yu, gathered together, apparently discussing the old man's sudden decision to go on a tour to the west! This matter is really too sensitive for them!

The main reason is that many of their businesses now have a close connection with the northwest! Even if Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering, he will definitely feel uneasy!

You know, their Hongwu Emperor can't tolerate any sand in his eyes!

"The sudden decision to go on a tour to the west is not just because the capital is to be moved to Xi'an Prefecture, right?"

Founding Duke Chang Sheng analyzed with a frown.

"If it's not because of the capital relocation, what else could it be?"

"If it wasn't because of the relocation of the capital to Xi'an Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture would not have been temporarily handed over to Prince Su to manage!"

"Anyway, when the capital is moved there in the future, Xi'an Prefecture will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor can legitimately take back Xi'an Prefecture, and in the end, Prince Su will just be busy for the court!"

Duke Song Feng Sheng thought this was the most likely possibility! "It shouldn't be, if it's just to investigate the relocation of the capital, wouldn't it be enough to let the prince go according to the original plan?"

"Is it necessary for the emperor to go there in person?"??

Chang Sheng's brows twisted into a knot! "You mean, the emperor has other purposes?"

"Did the emperor know about our dealings in refined salt in the northwest?"

As soon as Feng Sheng said this, the faces of all the nobles present suddenly became ugly! This is also the problem that everyone is most worried about! "Don't forget to flatter yourself. Just because of our trivial matter, it's not necessary for the emperor to go to the northwest in person!"

Lan Yu, who had not spoken a word, saw that everyone was suspicious, but snorted coldly!

"If the emperor really thought so, the prince would have told us long ago!"

Lan Yu's next words made everyone feel relieved.

No one would doubt the relationship between Lan Yu and the prince Zhu Biao. If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move Lan Yu, Zhu Biao would definitely inform Lan Yu in advance! There wouldn't be no news until now!

"So, we don't have to worry about this matter.Are you having a headache?"

Chang Sheng nodded in realization.

As long as there is no problem with the prince, there will be no problem on their side! After all, it's not just Lan Yu, Chang Sheng is also the prince's uncle! "We can't do nothing!"

"Everyone has to let the caravans under their command restrain themselves for the time being. It's best to reduce the number of trips to the northwest. Even if they go, they can't be so high-profile!"

"The superior has released the news in advance this time, maybe just to see how we react! "

Compared to Lan Yu and Chang Sheng, Feng Sheng was obviously more cautious! Although Lan Yu looked disapproving, he did not refute, and obviously agreed that Feng Sheng's words made sense!

...

A few days later.

Ganzhou Su Wangfu.

Zhu Zhanfeng and Saijia Sutusan, mother and son, have been learning how to use chopsticks recently!

People on the grassland basically eat with their hands, and at most they will use tools or daggers that they carry with them. They call this a table knife, which is used to cut cooked meat!

When the meal started, Zhu Zhanfeng took out a knife in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked by him! The habits of nomadic people are still very fierce!

Because the table knife in their hands can also be used to kill people, and even after killing someone, it can be wiped and used as a table knife again! Fortunately, Concubine Gao and Gu knew that Zhu Zhanfeng grew up on the grassland, so they were relatively tolerant of this. .

Otherwise, it would be a real headache for Zhu Jian for a while!

At the dinner table, although Zhu Zhanfeng had begun to work hard to learn how to use chopsticks, he still had the habit of eating meat in big mouthfuls, which naturally made louder chewing and smacking noises!

Gao Guifei and Gu Shi were both okay, but Li Shi frowned frequently, and it was obvious that she couldn't accept it!

Before, because Zhu Jian had this habit, it seemed that Li Shi couldn't accept it!

| =|

However, Zhu Yu can easily change, and Saiga Sutusan can consciously restrain himself, but for Zhu Zhanfeng, it is a bit difficult! After all, he is only a child of more than four years old!

It seems that this kid still needs some time to learn the Han people's table culture!

After dinner, Zhu Yu returned to his study.

But not long after, Zhu Zhanfeng followed him directly!

"Father, Han people can't make noise when eating? Then why when I was outside the palace, I saw other Han people on the street eating almost the same as us nomads?"

Zhu Zhanfeng asked Zhu Yu with a puzzled look.

"First of all, you are also a Han Chinese, and you must regard yourself as a Han Chinese in the future!"

"You are now the son of King Su, and the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand? "

After hearing this, Zhu Yu corrected Zhu Zhanfeng with a serious face.

"I understand, kid!"

Zhu Zhanfeng nodded, but a trace of entanglement flashed across his face.

Obviously, this identity change was too fast, and he couldn't adapt to it for a while!

Of course, Zhu Li also saw this, but he didn't rush it. After all, the child was still young. I believe that if he is given a certain amount of time, he will always have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty! "Very good!"

"I can answer your previous question. The Han people you see on the streets outside are all poor people, and there are not so many rules!"

"In the homes of poor people, they will naturally rush to eat meat on the table. The so-called wolfing down and feasting on food are also from this!"

Zhu Li nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly explained.

"Then why do we have so many rules?"

"Aunt Li's eyes changed when she looked at the child just now. Did the child do something wrong and make Aunt Li unhappy?"

Zhu Zhanfeng asked again.

"Well, because your aunt Li is from a family of civil officials, she has received the most strict Confucian education since she was a child. They believe that eating without talking or sleeping is educated. Making noise while eating is something that only animals do!"

"So Confucian people are not allowed to make noise when eating, even when chewing, there can't be a single sound, and they must chew slowly!"

"At the same time, you can't talk while eating, this is called eating without talking!"

"Even when sleeping, you can't talk casually, this is called sleeping without talking!"

Zhu Li also answered all the questions asked by Zhu Zhanfeng! "How uncomfortable is that?"

"I am a rough man and don't understand these etiquettes, and my uncles have never taught me this. Everyone eats meat while chatting loudly!".
