"..." Xu Da's expression also froze. Lao Zhu suddenly spoke so clearly that he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It is true that Yun Gong admires His Highness's knowledge, but... I do have selfish motives for adding fuel to the flames."

"There are quite a lot of rumors among the government and the public today that the minister is not on good terms with His Majesty."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Di a fierce look. Zhu Di was so frightened that he hurriedly and silently let go of the cake in his hand...

"Let Yungong serve as His Highness the Fifth Highness. Firstly, His Highness is truly astonishingly talented and is trying to let Yungong learn a thing or two. Secondly, I want to eliminate the discussion between the government and the public. The Xu family... can also feel better."

"Having a hard time? What's so hard about it? Who dares to make it hard for Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty?" Lao Zhu's voice was extremely domineering, but everything he said was heart-wrenching. "It's just that you think your military achievements are high.

, Worried that we will be jealous of you, worried that we will kill the donkey to get rid of the trouble. Worried that we will imitate Liu Bang, and give Xu Tiandean a rebel hat, and we will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, right?"

"I! I don't dare!" Xu Da's expression changed drastically, and he immediately left the table and knelt down heavily in front of Lao Zhu. When the others saw that he was angry, they also quickly left the table and knelt down, not daring to speak. Only Zhu Su

And Xianxin commented on Lao Zhu’s performance: What a domineering spirit!

"Why don't you dare! You have closed the door to thank guests these days and have not entered the military camp. You don't even dare to meet your old friends from the army who want to drink with you. You shut yourself up in the house like a little daughter-in-law and never leave the house.

Mai, don't you just want to avoid suspicion?" Lao Zhu snorted. "You and I grew up together, and now there are only what the juniors call ministers here! You must be alienated from us!"

"This...old brother, you can't say that." Xu Da had a bitter look on his face and raised his head with an aggrieved look: "I...I can't help it."

"The last time I went to the Northern Expedition, I was careless and underestimated the enemy, which gave the Meng Yuan a chance to breathe. Now that the situation is like this, if I launch a large force to attack the Northern Yuan again in the Ming Dynasty, it will be like an old man hanging himself - I feel that my life is too long."

"Next, I'm afraid that the stalemate with Meng Yuan will continue with the Great Wall as the boundary. There won't be any big battles to fight for a while."

"The Ming Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate! Now is not the time for us to show off our ferocity in the war. If I don't restrain myself, those arrogant and powerful generals who have no war, why don't they put me up and roast me on the fire?"

"Brother, if you want to stockpile weapons, I want to avoid making it difficult for you..."

As expected of the Duke of Wei, his eyes were whipped in. He could tell at a glance that the Ming Dynasty no longer had the ability to destroy Meng Yuan in one fell swoop. The most important and important thing now was to put weapons into the treasury and cultivate and recuperate.

It's just that... these words still avoided the important and did not mention the fact that he was worried about Lao Zhu attacking his heroes. Zhu Su couldn't help but sigh that these people are all old foxes.

"So you think that we don't need you anymore and are going to take action against you, right?" Lao Zhu snorted and laughed. "Wen Zhong and Lao Wu are all here today, and they just give us and you some time to wait.

Uncle, be a witness."

"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, left our words here today. But as long as I, the Ming Dynasty, are here, Xu will not betray Zhu, and Zhu will not abandon Xu!"

"No matter how hard the sun and the moon turn, it will never be easy! Xu Tiande, you underestimated me, Zhu Yuanzhang. Do you think that since we started from the same humble age as Liu Bang, we will do the same thing as him?"

"I tell you, it's wrong!"

Lao Zhu's words were unequivocal and could not be questioned. He had already listened to the history of the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Su's mouth, and knew that Xu Da himself was someone he could absolutely trust. Even though he later received a cold reception from him, he still devoted himself to training troops in Peking to prepare for confrontation.

Meng Yuan.

Such a person must be appeased no matter what. I have promised that the Xu family and the country will be of the same family.

"Old brother... no, your majesty..." Xu Da was really moved. Even though he is a military god, when it comes to winning people's hearts, he is still dozens of steps lower than Lao Zhu.

"Don't you dare to die for your majesty!" Seeing this scene of mutual respect between the king and his ministers, Li Wenzhong was also greatly moved, and immediately gave a great gift to express his excitement. Zhu Su and other brothers had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow together. Xu Da was also a tiger's eye.

With tears in my eyes, I felt extremely ashamed of my behavior of judging a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart.

"No need to be polite. Do you know why we have to say these words here in front of our son, you and Wenzhong?" Lao Zhu helped Xu Da up and motioned for Li Wenzhong, Zhu Su and others to come over.

, then he continued. Xu Da shook his head to express his ignorance. Lao Zhu smiled and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve.

"You and others all think that after tomorrow, the troops will definitely be sent to Kuma and released to Nanshan. Today, I will tell you and others the real plan we have hidden in our hearts!" He looked proud and slowly held the scroll in his hand.

Open it. When everyone took a closer look, Zhu Su couldn't help complaining in his heart: This is not my world map... Oh no, the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map!

"Wait and see, this is my Ming Dynasty, and this is the world..." Lao Zhu pointed at the map and said. As soon as he said this, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and others were shocked.

"What? Our Ming Dynasty is so vast, but we only have this tiny palm-sized area?"

Lao Zhu chuckled and looked at the surprised people. He now fully understood what was going on when Zhu Su looked at him and Zhu Biao when he said this. Use a prophetic vision to see

It’s really fun to see these country bumpkins. “Now, do you know how big the world is?”

"Beyond the Ming Dynasty, there are still so many lands. It's ridiculous that all the dynasties in the past thought they were in heaven and settled in a corner without knowing it."

"You think the Ming Dynasty will not need soldiers in the future? You are wrong! We intend to imitate the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and enfeoff the countries to the outer borders, thinking that we, China, will continue to expand our territory and carry forward our Ming Dynasty clothes!"

"Tiande, you think you are unblockable? You are wrong."

"Don't let your daughter tell you about the conspiracies of the past dynasties. It's just like a dog. We are too lazy to learn the so-called emperor's methods, and we won't do them!"

"I'm telling you clearly now, if you can make great contributions to our Ming Dynasty."

"We will not hesitate to make your Xu family a vassal king!"

Lao Zhu pointed at Xu Da, who was already in a daze. This sentence was like thunder, and Xu Da's ears were buzzing!

The princes and kings thought that their fame in this life had reached the point where they could not be sealed, and they had already reached the bottom line of the king. If he took another step forward, the king would definitely be afraid of death without a burial place. But now he heard that people actually do not recommend it.

Make you a vassal king?

It is not an exaggeration to say that the difference between the Dukes of the Ming Dynasty and the princes and kings of the Zhou Dynasty is as great as clouds and mud!

The key is, looking at the map, Xu Da felt that what his brother said might be true!

Zhu Su looked at the high-spirited Lao Zhu with a look of shock. Although he proposed to restart the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system, he only wanted to let Ming take advantage of the opportunity to take over the surrounding countries, and then let the prince surnamed Zhu serve as the

Ping Fan's defense of foreign countries is just subtle.
