"I, I have good physical fitness!"

The land security slave had already started to learn how to quibble, but when he saw Zhu Kai's size, he felt that his excuse was very bad. No matter how good his physical fitness was, could it be better than Zhu Kai's?

Feeling that he was despised by Zhu Kai, the land security slave struggled for a long time and found a good solution: "I will go find my father now."

Then, Dibaonu ran to find Toghon Temur and begged his father to give him another good beating.

Feng Sheng felt that he was too ashamed to even look at Zhu Kai. Given what he had done, how could he be a human being?

That was a seven-year-old child.

What kind of thing is this about marrying your daughter to?

After a while, Toghon Temur came to Zhu Kai with a helpless look on his face and said very sincerely: "Your Highness, please be magnanimous and don't argue with a child. Otherwise, I will take Bao Nu to stay in prison."

"Why, does staying with my son humiliate you?"

A deep voice came from behind Toghon Temur, carrying majesty and domineering power.

Everyone turned to look and saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking towards them with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a horsewhip in his hand.

"Dad, you are here."

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could pick you up."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Kai and kept staring at Toghon Temur, as if he would whip Toghon Temur on the head at the next moment.

Toghon Temur saw Zhu Yuanzhang, looked at him, and then sighed.

This is what an emperor should be like. It was not unfair for the Mongols to lose to such a person.

"Hello, Your Majesty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Toghon Temur placed his right hand above his heart to show respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, and then responded to Zhu Yuanzhang's question: "Your Majesty, before meeting the Second Prince, Dibaonu was a very well-behaved child. I never beat him. But now he has only been in contact with the Second Prince for five days, and I have beaten him so hard that he can't get up from the bed."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say and glared at Zhu Kai fiercely.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well what kind of person Zhu Kai was. Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, and Zhu Di were all deceived by him when they grew up, so he felt very familiar with him.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang did not act superior as a victor. Instead, his eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Toghon Temur.

It's hard to be a father, especially when your son is a troublemaker like Zhu Kai.

Although they shared the same pain, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say it to him. After all, Toghon Temur was the king of a fallen country, and as the victor, Zhu Yuanzhang, everything that belonged to Toghon Temur belonged to him, including his beloved son.

……

Toghon Temur also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him a lot of face, so he did not continue to pester him and left after saying goodbye. Zhu Yuanzhang first spoke briefly to Feng Sheng and then let him leave. At this time, there were only Zhu Kai and Zhu Yuanzhang next to the fire.

"You little bastard, you always cause trouble for me."

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, "I don't even have the face to respond to what Toghon Temur said."

Zhu Kai was still nonchalant: "It's okay, we are just kids playing around. Dibaonu is a good kid, he's a talented person."

"Whether they are talented or not, they are the father and son of a fallen country, and they are the emperor and prince of the Yuan Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Kai, "You are still too soft-hearted! Kai'er, you are a prince, the most powerful royal family head of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Ming Dynasty clan, you must remember, do not show mercy to your enemies, be ruthless!"

"Toghon Temur is not an enemy, and neither is Dibaonu."

Zhu Kai still insisted on his point of view, and then asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Why, Dad, you don't even have this much tolerance?"

"Why should we tolerate him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and counted on his fingers one by one: "Let's not talk about other families. Your grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt all starved to death. They had no food to eat and starved to death. They are all damned Mongolian emperors. They are not human beings."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more excited he became, and he looked like he wanted to eat all the Mongols alive.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

"Does Toghon Temur want to be an emperor? I think he would rather be a fisherman."

Zhu Kai said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Dad, Toghon Temur wants to be an ordinary person. Why don't we give them a chance to be an ordinary person? Dad, I told you that the world is not just the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is just a corner of the world in the East. I want the Ming Dynasty to shine forever. The people of the Ming Dynasty want to enjoy the same glory as the sun and the moon. We are bound to conquer more foreigners. There are millions or even tens of millions of them. Do we have to wipe out all of them? It's unrealistic. It's better to give them a chance to live and let them know that being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty is better than the so-called emperor, princes and nobles."

Let the king of a fallen country become an ordinary citizen?
This is another unprecedented decision. Could Zhu Yuanzhang do this?

"Dad, Toghon Temur is also a human being. The people of our Ming Dynasty can support themselves, so why can't he?"

Zhu Kai immediately became interested. He thought of the TV series he had watched repeatedly in his previous life. The handsome young man Captain Li, who was famous in the area, made his fortune by capturing prisoners. For example, Captain Lida's most powerful battalion and the iron-willed cavalry company were all enemies in the past?
But under his command, the combat effectiveness was demonstrated through real fighting.

Therefore, prisoners are not scary. It mainly depends on the people who use them: "Dad, this kind of work is called transformation. It makes them realize how wrong their previous cognition was. Through learning, they can become people who serve the Ming Dynasty."

This...is a good choice.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't say whether this was a good or bad thing to do, but this matter was brought up by Zhu Kai. Although Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat disagreed, he still decided to give it a try.

It's not a big deal to give it a try.

"Alright, alright, we know you're a talker, so you can do it, okay? Just do it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to argue with Zhu Kai any further, and Zhu Kai was the kind of person who would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. If he did not agree now, he would definitely pester him day and night. So he might as well agree directly. If Zhu Kai could not do it well, he would think of other ways.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also found a beneficial side to the Ming Dynasty in Zhu Kai's proposal. If the Mongols saw that their emperor survived his death after defecting to the Ming Dynasty and was still alive and well, it would undoubtedly be a psychological blow to the enemy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very busy, and he was not willing to set off for home so soon. This was his first time on the grassland, and he wanted to walk around and have a look.

Of course, the most important thing is to accept surrender.

What Toghon Temur said was a bit exaggerated. Dibaonu would be able to get out of bed in four or five days. The first thing he did after he recovered was to come to Zhu Kai, as if he wanted Zhu Kai to admit that he had a complete childhood.

The more vague Zhu Kai's words were, the more embarrassed and angry Di Baonu became, and the more he pestered Zhu Kai.

The dispute between the two continued until the surrender ceremony.

Accepting surrender is a very simple thing...at least Zhu Yuanzhang made it very simple. Apart from the soldiers, there was only a historian standing by who was diligently recording the situation.

Because the weather was getting colder, the place where the surrender was accepted was in the big tent where Toghon Temur lived. Zhu Yuanzhang sat high up and the historian sat next to him, remembering the position of every person in the tent. This was a big event and no carelessness was allowed.

Toghon Temur was waiting outside the big tent. He could only go in when Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him to.

Di Baonu... Di Baonu was sitting in the big tent, just to the left of Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't care at all why his father was not on the field, but focused all his attention on Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai has not yet admitted that Di Baonu had a complete childhood, so he will naturally stick close to Zhu Kai all the time.

Zhu Kai had no interest in such a boring ceremony of surrender. Instead, teasing the local security slave next to him made Zhu Kai happier.

The focus of the argument between the two sides was still whether they had a complete childhood. Zhu Kai was very disdainful of the fact that the earth slave only lay in bed for five days: "Tsk, you just lay in bed for five days, what's that? Your father is so literary and you can tell at a glance that he has no strength. Look at my father, he is so powerful and beats me hard."

"My father beats me hard!"

The local slave who wanted to compete with Zhu Kai was not at all out of place when it came to being beaten. He gestured with his hands: "With that big sole, just slap me on the butt!"

“My dad is awesome!”

"My dad is awesome!"

"My dad can eat three bowls of rice and five buns in one meal!"

"My father eats a whole sheep for one meal!"

"My father is so strong that even a cow can't beat him!"

"My dad can beat two cows!"

"My dad likes to eat chicken butts! He says chicken butts are delicious!"

butt?

Dibaonu immediately thought of something, stood up suddenly, looked at Zhu Kai and said, "My dad dares to eat shit! He said shit smells good!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Dibaonu...

Zhu Kai next to him was sitting upright, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhu Kai, and seeing the excited Dibaonu, he couldn't help but lower his head and hold his head.

How could a good kid become stupid after hanging out with Zhu Kai for a while?

Zhu Yuanzhang was too embarrassed to admit that Zhu Kai was his son. He was so immoral.

The historian next to him also stopped writing. He blinked hard and was also thinking... should he remember this sentence or not.

As luck would have it, Toghon Temur was just stepping into the big tent at this moment. When he heard Dibaonu's words, his breathing suddenly choked and his vision became dark.

I guess he felt the same as Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. How could he give birth to such a stupid child like Dibaonu?

Is this still my land security guard?

Di Baonu did not realize this. When he saw that everyone in the tent was looking at him, he raised his head as if showing off to everyone: Your father is not as powerful as my father, right?
Everyone: We can’t afford to offend you. We can’t afford to offend you.

Dare to eat shit!
Everyone turned their attention to Toghon Temur again, as if they also wanted to know whether what Dibaonu said was true.

Toghon Temur could not stand this kind of gaze, so he quickly asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, can you let me go out for an incense stick of time so that I can take care of some household chores?"

"……go Go."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, feeling helpless.

I should not have let Zhu Kai enter this tent.

Toghon Temur took Dibaonu away, as if everyone had already guessed Dibaonu's fate.

……

After an incense stick of time, Toghon Temur returned to the hall refreshed. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he knelt on the ground without any nonsense, and raised the surrender letter high above his head with both hands: "The criminal Toghon Temur surrenders to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

It was as if he was telling everyone in the world that he had accepted his fate and that after he surrendered, they could do whatever they wanted with him.

What good end will the king of a fallen country have?

Or die.

Or live.

Living is worse than death.

It was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang accepted surrender, but why... did he feel so uncomfortable accepting the surrender?
He destroyed the Mongols and allowed the Ming Dynasty to achieve true unification, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy at all. All he could think about was whether Toghon Temur would eat shit.

"Are you really... Never mind, that's it."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands in frustration and said to Toghon Temur: "You go back first, and that's it for the rest of you."

There will be no meeting. There will be no meeting.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry after glaring at Zhu Kai... It's all your fault, you bastard. What did you do to mess up the surrender ceremony?

Zhu Kai said: What does this have to do with me? Didn’t the land security guard say that himself?
……

At night, Toghon Temur was helping Dibaonu pack his clothes. Someone had told him that he would no longer live on the grassland and would go to Yingtian Prefecture. However, when he left, he could pick out someone from his concubines to go with him. The rest would be captives of the Ming Dynasty, and even the people who served him would not appear in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively merciful and spared Toghon Temur. He also gave him 100 taels of gold to allow him to live his future life.

One hundred taels of gold may not seem like much, but it can support one hundred families for three years.

But for Toghon Temur, this money was too little. It used to be enough for one month's expenses, but now he had to use this money to live for a lifetime.

As a king of a fallen country, living is a luxury. What else can he ask for?

Let’s think about how to raise Dibaonu and make him successful.

As for his eldest son Tianbaonu, Toghon Temur did not have so many concerns. It seemed that his presence or absence had no effect on Toghon Temur.

Dibaonu lay on the bed, squinting his eyes as he watched Toghon Temur who was packing his clothes. He was feeling both pain and sleepy at this moment, but Toghon Temur was busy and he didn't want to sleep either.

"Dad, tomorrow...are we leaving?"

Dibaonu asked Toghon Temur in a low voice, "Can we come back in the future?"

Toghon Temur didn't say anything. He didn't want to pay attention to this rebellious son!

Then, the land security slave asked again: "Then, where are we going? Can we see Master Kai often in the future?"

Master Kai…Toghon Temur was so angry that he was shaking all over and whispered, “Don’t play with him anymore!”

"Oh."

Di Baonu felt a little disappointed. Zhu Kai was the most interesting person he had ever met in his life, but he couldn't play with him in the future. He felt really disappointed.

Seeing his son in pain, Toghon Temur couldn't bear it: "Is he that good?" (End of this chapter)
