Liu De is the rich man Liu whom Zhu Yuanzhang still hates him so much that he still hates him.

At that time, Zhu Chongba's whole family was a tenant of Liu Caizhu's family, and even he himself started herding cattle for Liu Caizhu's family at the age of seven.

This rich man Liu did not regard the tenant as a human being, and did not treat the old Zhu family in all kinds of ways. Zhu Yuanzhang herded cattle for him, and he couldn't even eat enough to eat, so he had to be beaten all day long. Although sometimes he asked for it...

But all these are easy to say. The most unrestrained time he was the year when Zhu Yuanzhang's family was destroyed.

Four people died in the Zhu family in a month, but Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother had no place to bury their relatives because there was no inch of land at that time that belonged to the Zhu family.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother had to go to find the rich man Liu and begged him to be kind. For the sake of his whole family's life for him for many years, they could give him some place to bury their relatives.

But Liu Qianzhu was famously mean and stingy. He was unmoved by the brothers Zhu Yuanzhang who knocked their heads to pieces and did not let go in the end.

Liu Jizu, another rich household in the same village, couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him a little of his cemetery, and then Zhu Yuanzhang buried his parents...

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a tolerant temper either.

After burying his parents, he and Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing, and his second brother slaughtered the cattle from Liu De's family, stewed and roasted for a full meal, and then fled with his second brother...

~~

Twenty-four years later, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown to repair his parents' tombs on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and invited more than 20 surviving villagers to have dinner.

But there was one who was alive who didn't go to the banquet, and that was Liu De.

Qianzhu Liu never expected that the poor boy who had herded cattle for him back then turned into His Royal Highness the King of Wu who was about to ascend the throne to become emperor!

Thinking of the two of them having a holiday, he could change eight pairs of shorts in one night, so how could he dare to go to the banquet? He ran to another county to hide overnight.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang came back, but he still hid.

But in the world, is it the king's land? Where can he hide?

Besides, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. Everyone around him knows that he is the emperor’s enemy, so he will naturally take the blame. Under the huge psychological pressure, the fat man who was more than 200 pounds back then is only a fraction of the time... He looks much older than his actual age.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw this trembling old man, he really couldn't connect with the arrogant, black-hearted fat rich man back then.

This time, the former landlord and the son of the tenant finally met again, but their status changed drastically. While kowtowing hard, Liu De scolded himself for being blind and losing all his conscience, begging the emperor to be kind and spare his life.

Everyone, including Li Shanchang, thinks that Liu De is finished. Even if the emperor doesn’t kill him, he will humiliate him severely, making him worse than death and let out the anger that year!

Isn’t it just for this to make a name for the sake of success?

However, what no one expected was...

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have an attack. Instead, he pulled Liu De, who was trembling with his own hands, and sighed, "Oh, forget it, it was human nature to not help me at the time. How could you know that our cowherd kid would become emperor in the future?"

"The emperor is generous and kind, and his kindness is as good as the sea..." Liu De was grateful and ashamed, and cried like a dog. "The grass people are ashamed and want to die."

"Hahaha, we don't learn from Emperor Gaozu of Han." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily, his complacentness was not like a false statement. He said to Li Shanchang: "The Han Dynasty is open-minded and generous, and all the world knows it. But he holds a grudge against his sister-in-law and gives Liu Xin the Marquis of Gengjie, which is really a loss of energy."

"What the superiors say is that the superiors are a hundred times more generous than Emperor Gaozu of Han." Li Shanchang hurriedly flattered.

The so-called "Queen Jiehou" is a sarcastic title. It is said that when Liu Bang was in a state of social affairs, he often called his friends to his elder brother's house for free. After a long time, his elder sister-in-law could no longer bear it, so she deliberately knocked on the pot to show that the soup was gone.

In fact, his sister-in-law's behavior is completely understandable, and it can be said that she is very restrained, but Liu Bang, a social person, feels that he has been discouraged in front of his friends and has been resentful.

So he later conferred the title of princes of the same surname, but not the son of his sister-in-law Liu Xin. Later, after Liu Taigong persuaded him, he jokingly conferred Liu Xin "Gengjie Hou", which is the homonym of "Gengjin Hou"...

Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is very obvious, he is mocking Liu Bang for being petty and losing his emperor style. And he will definitely be in sharp contrast to his enemies!

Since he had chosen to forgive him, Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to show his greater gifts. He asked Liu De, how much land is there in his family now?

Liu De replied with a bitter face that his family had long been defeated, and now he only has eight parts of the land left, and he is old and sick, so he can't grow it.

"Oh, what about your son?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "It's the fat guy who knew how to eat back then."

"That year Zhang Shicheng came over and was eaten by the soldiers." Liu De said in tears.

"Oh, they are all pitiful people in troubled times." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Let's give you thirty hectares of land. If you don't have anyone in your family, you can rent it out. You can join the twenty old villagers in the past to help us guard the ancestral graves."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained softly again: "We will establish you as the magistrate and help us take care of our parents. You don't want to pay for the money. After the sacrifice, you will eat the pigs and sheep. From now on, you will collect rent, eat wine and meat, and live a happy life."

Liu De naturally burst into tears and kowtowed.

Xingfu Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang stayed, he washed his face and changed his clothes, and entered the rest time.

Li Shanchang and others surrendered, and Liu Ying guarded the palace gate.

The round-faced emperor, who had always had a smile, instantly turned into a donkey face and asked the prince in a deep voice: "Do you have any news?"

The prince has been here for more than ten days and is obviously much haggard. He lowered his head and said, "I have searched all Fengyang Mansion, but there is still no trace."

"Oh..." Zhu Yuanzhang actually guessed the result, otherwise the boss would have reported the good news as soon as possible.

"Father, they won't..." the prince asked choked, but he couldn't say the words behind him.

"No, absolutely not!" Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively: "No news at this time is the best news. None of them... uh, only one of them is stupid. If it is really time to reach the critical moment of life and death, they will definitely show their identity. If the other party knew that they were my sons, they would definitely not kill them. They would have spoken to our lion long ago."

"There is no movement now, which means they have not been exposed yet, so they are safe." Boss Zhu was the most dangerous storm he had ever seen, and his thinking was still very clear.

"To put it bluntly, we are not afraid of their identities being exposed. What we are afraid of is that they are unexpectedly surprised."

"That's good, that's good..." Zhu Biao relaxed a little.

"Biao'er, you're too tense." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded him with some concern: "We will plan to let you handle national affairs in two years. It's not okay to be so nervous that it will break the string."

"Yes, dad." Zhu Biao nodded and was taught, and smiled bitterly: "Mainly, the situation this time is too unusual."

"You will know when you start to govern the government. For the emperor, people will deal with it in general. Those who push it to you are extraordinary." Zhu Yuanzhang taught his son and comforted him again:

"We can't stay together in our hometown for a few days, and those people will definitely make some noise. Otherwise, after passing this village, there will be no store."

"Dad, are you talking about the people who took my brother away?" Zhu Biao asked with a cheerful expression.

"Of course they are them." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sneered: "You actually dare to preach on the Circular Mound. What they want is to imagine. It is impossible not to have a plan to make your father!"

~~

At the same time, a little beggar in ragged clothes, unkempt and wearing only one torn shoes, held a broken bowl in one hand and a dog stick in the other hand, limping in Qiaotou Town, sixty miles away from Linhuai.

"Okay, okay, I've eaten for three days..."
