"Don't kill."

"It is indeed Do Not Kill."

Zhu Gang nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Biao and said seriously: "But that memorial was not from Taiyuan."

"Isn't it from Taiyuan?"

Zhu Biao was stunned and looked at Zhu Gang.

"I am conquering the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how can I have the time to pay attention to the court?"

Zhu Gang still nodded.

"Liao Yongzhong used your name?"

Upon hearing this, anger suddenly rose in Zhu Biao's eyes.

But in a flash, Zhu Biao shook his head again, looked at Zhu Gang and said, "You studied under Master Li, and your calligraphy attainments are very high, so those two words must have come from your hand."

Zhu Gang's calligraphy attainments can be ranked among the top three in the Ming Dynasty. As father, son and brothers, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao naturally could not mistake Zhu Gang's handwriting.

Also, even if Liao Yongzhong had the courage, he would not dare to imitate Zhu Gang's handwriting to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I said it wasn't from Taiyuan, but I didn't say it wasn't from me."

Zhu Gang tightened his robes, glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "In the sixth year of Hongwu, before I went to Taiyuan alone, I left this memorial to Liao Quan."

"I want to use this opportunity to save Liao Yongzhong's life, but the decision is still in the hands of the old man."

After a pause, Zhu Gang continued, "But if the old man is determined to kill me, my memorial will be useless."

This is the truth. Whether Zhu Yuanzhang would kill Liao Yongzhong or not was up to him.

It is not possible for a memorial to the emperor to really save Liao Yongzhong's life.

After all, as Zhu Biao said, Liao Yongzhong's behavior was like a thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. If it was not removed, it would still hurt.

"So you knew from the beginning that the old man was going to take action against Liao Yongzhong?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

It should be understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had never expressed his dissatisfaction with Liao Yongzhong before he faced his opponent.

Because at that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and in order to stabilize the country, Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely could not take action against Liao Yongzhong.

But when the Ming Dynasty passed this period, Liao Yongzhong's life and death depended on Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

By the time Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to remove this thorn, Zhu Gang's memorial was also delivered to the Imperial Study.

Just two words: don't kill.

It was to let Zhu Yuanzhang let Liao Yongzhong go and even retain Liao Yongzhong's title of marquis.

But now Zhu Gang told Zhu Biao that this memorial was not from Taiyuan, but was written in the sixth year of Hongwu?

I'm afraid no one would believe this, right?

"Ah."

"Liao Yongzhong's contribution to the founding of the country is fully worthy of being named Duke."

"But it was because he secretly tried to figure out the emperor's intentions that caused the death of the young Ming King, so he was given the title of Marquis of Deqing."

"But in the third year of Hongwu, after Yang Xian, the left chancellor of the Secretariat, was killed, I knew that Liao Yongzhong would die, so I left that memorial behind."

Zhu Gang thought about it and then looked at Zhu Biao and said.

"That makes sense. After all, with your intelligence, it shouldn't be that hard for you to figure out the trick."

There was a gleam of understanding in Zhu Biao's eyes.

No wonder Zhu Gang was able to take the initiative, it turned out that he had already guessed that Liao Yongzhong would die.

"So you just want to save Liao Yongzhong's life?"

Zhu Biao then looked at Zhu Gang and asked, "Or maybe you just don't want the old man to be branded as the one who killed the heroes?"

In fact, Zhu Biao really couldn't understand this, after all, Zhu Gang had never had any intersection with Liao Yongzhong.

But the crime that Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for Liao Yongzhong was usurping the power of the dragon and the phoenix. Even if he was killed, there would be no evidence against him, let alone a bad reputation.

So why did Zhu Gang do this?
“It’s both.”

"But I want to know the truth more." Zhu Gang said with a cold look in his eyes.

"the truth?"

Zhu Biao frowned immediately.

"Well. Let's put it this way. Liao Yongzhong has been following the old man for many years. It should be since the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty."

"His brother, Liao Yongan, Duke of Chu, was loyal to his master and died to show his loyalty. A loyal minister would not serve two masters and would never surrender to Zhang even until his death."

"The Liao family is a loyal and brave family, and they are important ministers of the country. Would they really presume to guess the emperor's intentions and kill the young Ming king?"

"And from the beginning to the end, Liao Yongzhong had no reason to kill the Little Ming King."

Zhu Gang glanced at Liao Yongzhong in the distance again, and then continued to look at Zhu Biao and said, "So the reason why I saved Liao Yongzhong is that I want to find out the truth behind it after returning to Beijing."

Zhu Gang was right. Liao Yongzhong really had no reason to kill the young Ming King.

After all, whether the Little Ming King lives or dies, it will not have any impact on Liao Yongzhong.

As for the so-called orthodoxy of the world and the legitimate right to obtain the country, it is all nonsense not only for Liao Yongzhong, but also for all the Huaixi nobles.

Because they helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer this empire, and since they were born in poverty, they just wanted to stick to their principles.

That is this world. Since they conquered it, Zhu should be the emperor of this world.

As for from whom it was received?

Do you think these rough guys would care?

What's more, Liao Yongzhong was responsible for welcoming back the little Ming King. Even if he tried to figure out the emperor's intention, he would not be stupid enough to kill the little Ming King on the way back to Yingtian Prefecture.

"You mean Liao Yongzhong was used as a pawn by someone, and that person is Yang Xian, the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat who has already been killed."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was silent for a long time before he spoke.

Now thinking about it carefully, Zhu Biao also felt terrified.

This was completely taking advantage of Liao Yongzhong's loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the Little Ming King.

Moreover, the last person Liao Yongzhong met before leaving Yingtian Prefecture was Yang Xian, the inspector.

"I'm afraid it's not just Yang Xian."

Zhu Gang shook his head slightly and said, "Don't forget, after Yang Xian became the Vice Minister of the Secretariat, he was closest to those people."

"Eastern Zhejiang, Jiangnan."

In an instant, Zhu Biao suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists.

"Yang Xian was born as a censor, but he had no foundation in the court. His brother Yang Xisheng was dismissed from his post by Uncle Li because he offended Uncle Li."

"Whether Yang Xian wants to protect himself or avenge Yang Xisheng, he has to rely on a big tree."

Unlike Zhu Biao who was gritting his teeth, Zhu Gang remained calm.

"And this big tree must be able to compete with Uncle Li."

"But looking at the court, Liu Bowen, the gentleman from East Zhejiang, can compete with Uncle Li."

"It is precisely because of this reason that the conflict between eastern Zhejiang and western Huai is growing."

The coldness in Zhu Biao's eyes became more and more intense.

"In this regard, Yang Xian was indeed quite successful."

"After all, the old man's original intention was to drive a wedge into the Secretariat."

"But Yang Xian's stupidest thing was that he underestimated Uncle Li and overestimated himself."

As he spoke, Zhu Gang's mouth curled up in a hint of sarcasm again.

Because Yang Xian had repeatedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shanchang had no talent and was unfit to be a prime minister.

But what kind of person is Li Shanchang in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind?
He is a figure who can be compared with Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang suspected Li Shanchang of having rebellious intentions in his later years, he was actually mistaken for Sima Yi.

Let alone you, Yang Xian, even if there were ten or a hundred Yang Xians, they would not be able to match a single finger of Li Shanchang.
