Chapter 361 The father-son relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao

Ye Xuan didn't believe a word of Zhu Biao's words.

First of all, he doesn't lack any rewards. After all, with his current achievements, he can't really let Zhu Yuanzhang give him a king with a different surname, right?

If that's the case, then I really have to be ready to go to sea.

As for Zhu Biao being able to keep secrets for himself, Ye Xuan felt it was even more unreliable.

Not to mention Zhu Biao's state in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was simply cautious.

Just based on the understanding between father and son and the style of the plan, it was not difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to guess that this was his own suggestion.

When the time comes, if Zhu Yuanzhang makes a few random lies, Zhu Biao will naturally take action.

However, Zhu Biao said so, so naturally Ye Xuan would not point it out.

As for Zhu Biao, after sending Ye Xuan away, he considered it carefully and hurried into the palace.

After a while, the officer.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally eating. When he heard Zhu Biao's arrival, he simply ordered someone to bring over a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, father and son had not had a meal together like ordinary people for a long time.

Now that he has this opportunity today, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not miss it.

But what he didn't expect was that before Zhu Biaoren sat down, he handed him a coupon.

"What's the matter? Can't we talk about it after dinner?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao with curiosity in his eyes.

Zhu Biao hurriedly explained: "Father, it is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. You should see it first, so that I can feel at ease."

It's not that he pushed too hard, but Zhu Biao knew that once it was delayed for a long time, other variables would inevitably occur.

Besides, this thing is not what I thought. If I neglect it and forget some machinery, it will be a big trouble.

Seeing Zhu Biao's persistence, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, looking a little helpless, but he still took the book and read it slowly.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was just the same official article as before, and there was even a hint of impatience on his face.

But as he read, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed again.

He looked up at Zhu Biao and asked, "Is this your own idea?"

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Biao was already defeated as soon as he opened his mouth.

He explained: "My father has a clear vision. This is the result of my son and ministers summarizing the opinions of my subordinates and considering them.

The following sentence has already confirmed Zhu Yuanzhang's guess.

When he just read the excerpt, he also guessed that it might be Ye Xuan's handwriting.

After all, Jin Yiwei had already sent news that the prince was hosting a banquet for Ye Xuan.

As a result, not long after the banquet ended, Zhu Biao entered the palace with Zhezi.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that other officials in Renming would think of such a military alliance.

After all, according to the way of thinking of today's officials, forming alliances with other countries is tantamount to following the example of Zhao and Song Dynasty, and may even cause more trouble.

Even if someone really feels in his heart that continuing the war will bring disaster and that alliances can be used to obtain benefits, he cannot think about so many details.

More importantly, Zhu Biao is not a greedy person and has no reason to hide the other party's name.

Looking at Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly: "Is it that boy Ye Xuan?"

Zhu Biao's expression suddenly changed, and he was still struggling to reply.

"Father is joking, this -"

Before Zhu Biao could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang had confirmed his guess and did not let Zhu Biao finish his sentence, just because he did not want him to bear the reputation of being a bully.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Zhu Biao felt anxious and was thinking about how to deal with it later, but Zhu Yuanzhang's attention had already shifted to the content of the memorial.

He asked Zhu Biao: "Tell me, why did you choose Tianzhu as your opponent? As far as we know, this place is not rich, but it has a vast territory and strong people. Fighting them will take longer, but It’s not like we can’t defeat him, so why bother bringing others along?”

Zhu Yuanzhang's question already included two levels and contents. Zhu Biao recalled Ye Xuan's previous words and thought about it for a while before reluctantly answering.

"Father, Tianzhu is like a sick tiger that can intimidate its neighbors. We can just take this opportunity to draw its neighbors and opponents to our side. In this way, we can defeat those small countries without fighting. Tianzhu, we have reduced the consumption of war.

Speaking of what happened next, Zhu Biao did not forget to remind Zhu Yuanzhang, "I have already mentioned the amount of money our Ming Dynasty spent on these wars. Although we have gained a lot in the short term, if this continues in the long run, I am afraid that Ming Dynasty's National power will also be exhausted.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that besides benefits, what else could the war bring?

In fact, if it had not been for the Ming Dynasty's expedition to Japan, there would have been anti-war voices in the north as early as after Goryeo surrendered.

Either someone in their family had been killed in the war, or they had been affected, so when the sound appeared, not many people paid attention.

But this was already a signal, reminding Zhu Yuanzhang that if he could not change his tactics as soon as possible, Ming Dynasty would be drowned in the quagmire of war.

After thinking briefly, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked Zhu Biao.

"So, you are very optimistic about this method? Then let me ask you, how do you plan to form an alliance, and how do you plan to ensure the stability of the alliance?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, the doctor was stunned instantly.

Before, he was attracted by the various benefits described by Ye Xuan, but he forgot to solve the problem of the stability of the alliance.

After all, everyone is interested in profit. If they are given 740 benefits, they will choose Ming Dynasty. But if others copy this plan and offer a higher price, it is difficult to say how those small countries will choose.

Zhu Biao had a strange look on his face. After hesitating for a while, he could only tell the truth. After all, this matter was very relevant. If he made nonsense and Zhu Yuanzhang believed it, the Ming Dynasty would suffer in the end.

"Father, I am guilty. This method is indeed Ye Xuan's advice, but he is not willing to let me reveal myself, so I--"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be nervous about guaranteeing the bid.

He turned around and greeted the eunuch on the side: "Go and call Ye Xuan over here!"

The eunuch agreed and trotted away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with loving eyes. If others saw this look, they would probably think that the emperor had changed his gender.

He reminded Zhu Biao: "You are the prince, and you must remain calm when encountering problems. How can you behave like this? Also, since Ye Xuan is unwilling to show up, you should ask all the details clearly, otherwise how will you deal with the variables?"

His words were not meant to criticize at all, but rather to make points.

Zhu Biao was moved and hurriedly apologized and apologized to Zhu Yuanzhang again.

After a while, the eunuch came back in a hurry, but his face looked very strange.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he vaguely guessed something.

"Where's Ye Xuan?".
