Chapter 81 Let’s drink together from a golden bottle, but we won’t spare each other with a sword.

the other side.

Duke Xin Guo Tang He and others followed Prince Zhu Biao into the palace.

Lan Yu took the three brothers of the Chang family and walked at the back, saying:

"Mao'er, wait a minute and you will act according to my uncle's eyes. Don't be careless."

"My sister is still waiting for you to come home."

As he spoke, Lan Yu's face was full of tangles. The one hundred thousand army was now under the command of Chu King Zhu Zhen and was setting up camp outside Yingtian Mansion.

What if this celebration banquet is the Hongmen Banquet...what if he also retires and returns to his hometown?

Chang Mao and others looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

…

After a while.

Zhu Biao took Xin Guogong Tang He and others into the Fengtian Hall. Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma had been waiting for a long time.

When Yongchang Hou Lanyu saw that Queen Ma was there, he immediately let go of his worries, stepped forward quickly, saluted and knelt down, and shouted:

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my sacred mandate and defeated the rebels. I even led my troops to ambush the Mongolian Eight Banners Army and the Han Eight Banners Army."

"How dare Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju and others dare to mislead me? Little do they know that I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, to His Majesty, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

At the same time, Xinguo Gong Tang He and others also bowed and bowed one after another.

Unlike Lan Yu, who had a lot of achievements, all Huaixi nobles were speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and signaled Prince Zhu Biao to help Lan Yu up, comforting Tang He and others who had not made any achievements.

When Korean Duke Li Shanchang and others arrived, they led everyone into Fengtian Hall.

…

After three rounds of drinking.

Li Shanchang stood up tremblingly, came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said:

"Your Majesty, I am old and want to resign and go into seclusion. I hope your Majesty will give you permission."

In an instant, the joyful atmosphere in Fengtian Hall solidified.

Hu Weiyong glanced at the nobles of Huaixi and saw that several people he was close to were nowhere to be seen.

He had already made some guesses about this "celebration banquet" and no longer hesitated. He stood up, knelt beside his mentor Li Shanchang and said:

"Your Majesty, I have been seriously ill recently..."

Immediately, Xinguo Gong Tang He and others stood up one after another and knelt down in large numbers, all wanting to resign and go into seclusion.

In other words, they were praying to the former commander-in-chief and now His Majesty to spare their lives.

The three brothers of the Chang family were just about to kneel down together when they saw their uncle Lao Shen sitting next to Prince Zhu Biao.

Remembering that His Highness the Crown Prince was their biggest supporter, they immediately stopped panicking.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the old brothers who were kneeling together, and was just about to pour himself a glass of wine.

After waiting for a while, these people noticed Queen Ma's gaze, so they had to put down their wine glasses and sighed:

"Bai Shi, you have followed me through life and death, and you have made a lot of contributions. We will keep them all in our hearts."

"And Dingchen, back then..."

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang told everyone's contributions one by one.

When Zhu Yuanzhang left Haozhou, he was accompanied by only twenty-four people, including Xu Da, Tang He and others.

Including Lu Zhongheng and Fei Ju, who had been beheaded, were among them.

…

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became solemn, he threw Ming Shi, who was always with him, to the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"We have always kept your merits in mind. Because of this, we are afraid that you will take credit and be arrogant and bully the people, so we will reward you with gold and silver from time to time."

"But what about you? How did you do it? Occupy the fields, take bribes, and oppress the people..."

"We are not Liu Bang, who likes to have a cup of wine to release his military power."

"Let me warn you for the last time today: I will drink from the golden cup together, but you will not be spared with the sword!"

"Whoever dares to violate the [Great Ming Law] we have set again, don't blame me, Zhu Yuanzhang, for not remembering the old relationship!"

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left Fengtian Palace with Queen Ma, leaving only Prince Zhu Biao to comfort the frightened people.

…

in the crowd.

Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, rubbed his chin and secretly made up his mind to find a marriage for his incompetent son when he returned home.

He and Your Majesty had known each other since childhood and were from the same hometown. It was really unjust that the father and son died just because of the crime of "not practicing virtue".

…

In the chat group.

Zhu Youjian, Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: Group leader, Xin Guogong Tang and their crimes are not worthy of death. If you... really can't do it, you can exile them to the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian: I will definitely reuse them!

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty: If you can be named the Duke of the country, you must be a person with outstanding merits. Why should you be executed?

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty: Could it be that he wanted to imitate Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song Dynasty? Did Chen Qiao mutiny? Wear yellow robes?

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi: Ahem.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty: Song Taizong, your arrow wound has not healed yet?

Group leader: Ming Sizong, who do you think we are? Do you think we are the kind of people who hide everything and hide everything?

Group leader: These old brothers have followed us in the wars in the north and south, and have made great achievements. If possible, why don't we want them to enjoy their old age in peace.

Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: There is a record of this in the history books. When you left Haozhou, you, the leader of the group, took only twenty-four people with you. You fought all the way and finally drove the Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Twenty-four people???

Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Ming Sizong, are you sure you are right?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty: Second nephew and thief, you don’t know the origin of the group leader? Looking at all dynasties, all the founding emperors.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty: I dare to say that no one can compare with the leader of the group.

Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao: Oh? Could it be that the leader of the group was born into a noble family?

Group leader: Emperor Sui Yang, please stop teasing us. We were either born into a noble family or just ordinary civilians.

Group leader: When we were seventeen years old, there was a severe drought in Huaibei and we almost starved to death. As a last resort, we entered Huangjue Temple and became a traveling boy.

Group leader: As a result, less than two months after entering the temple, the temple owner dismissed all the monks, so we had no choice but to leave our hometown and become wandering monks.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou: What is the Wandering Monk?

Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: Just… traveling around…

Group leader: The wandering monk is a beggar.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Beggar?

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi: Beggar?

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty: That’s why I say that in terms of birth, no founding emperor can compare to the leader of the group.

Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty: It’s nonsense. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty also served as the pavilion chief of Sishui, and Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty also weaved mats and sold shoes.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang:???

Zhu Youjian, Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty once studied under the great scholar Lu Zhi. The leader joined the rebel army and became a captain of ten before he began to read and write.

Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao: Captain of ten? Read and read?

Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao: Leader, I am very curious, how did you unify the Central Plains?

Sun Quan, Emperor Wu: Could it be that the Yuan people were weak? Or maybe the leader of the group was like Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Wu: His merits exceed those of his lord? The lord of the young country is doubtful? A yellow robe is coming and he is wearing a yellow robe? He is worried that the prince of the country will imitate you, so he prepares to get rid of the meritorious officials.

Group leader: We are not worried about those old brothers rebelling against us, but we are worried that Biao'er is too kind and cannot suppress this group of proud soldiers.

Group leader: We have made it clear to them just now that we will drink from the golden cup together, but we will not show mercy to each other with a sword.
