However, this seems to be enough, so there is no need to let him continue to make great achievements. Otherwise, it is possible that another huge group of military merits will be cultivated.

Zhu Yunying said in a cheeky tone, "Just like how my grandfather dealt with the Duke of Xin and the Duke of Song in his early years."

Old Zhu raised his hand, wanting to flick Zhu Yunying's forehead. He, Zhu Hongwu, was a hero of his time; leaving aside his early years, once he became emperor, and even before that, when he proclaimed himself Prince of Wu, no one dared to mock him anymore.

But now that I'm a grandfather, I'm constantly being teased by my grandson. Where can I find justice in this?

However, Zhu Yunying also agreed with Zhu He's idea. Tang He, this old brother, had made great contributions, and Feng Sheng's contributions were also very significant. If the two of them hadn't retired gracefully or been sidelined, Fu Youde would have had a hard time rising to prominence, or rather, the military elite group of the Ming Dynasty would have gained another huge faction.

Zhu Yunying continued, "That's all Fu Youde is like. His sons aren't exactly successful either. When he dies, we'll bestow upon him the title of King. A hereditary Duke title is a fitting reward for all the contributions he's made over the years."

This seems to be the best solution; it's impossible for Fu Youde to achieve great merit this time. His achievements are already substantial enough, and some leeway needs to be left for him; otherwise, it wouldn't be a story of a harmonious relationship between ruler and subject.

After a detailed discussion with Old Zhu, Zhu Yunying felt much more at ease about the reorganization of the Wuxun Group.

Xu Huizu has returned, and naturally, many things need to be put on the agenda, with rectifying official corruption being of course important. However, the Wu Xun Group also needs a thorough overhaul.
