Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 476 This Is Not Knocking

A truce, a truce in the true sense, does not actually exist, nor is it possible at all.

Regardless of the fact that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, over the years, wars, large or small, have continued and have not really stopped.

Old Zhu Hongwu proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian Mansion on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year, but there was no peace in the world at that time.Even at that time, the Mongol Yuan regime was entrenched in Dadu, and the Ming Dynasty actually did not completely recover the Central Plains.

The two Northern Expeditions did not break up the Northern Yuan regime until Hongwu's great victory in the 21st year.

In the meantime, the wars of recovering the Hexi Corridor, surrendering the Duan clan of Dali, conquering Bashu, and suppressing the barbarian rebellion, etc., actually continued.

What's more, even if Zhu Yunying ascended the throne, he would make another northern expedition in the north.Although the Mongolian Yuan regime collapsed, the split tribes still exist, but now these people are in a place of bitter cold and have been driven back to their "hometown".

It is simply impossible to really stop the war, and Ma Fang Nanshan does not exist.

Last year, the imperial court seemed to have a one-year truce, but many people could see some clues.The truce at this time is just to mobilize forces better in the future, so that we can go all out to attack some other forces.

Maybe some civil servants are not satisfied, they will feel that they need to be educated, they think that the theory of saints can quell all wars.Or, they also felt that the imperial court needed benevolence and could not fight everywhere, which was a manifestation of militarism.

It's just that such an argument obviously won't cause any trouble in the court, and it may not work at all.

Whether it is Emperor Hongwu or Emperor Yingshi, they can be regarded as heroes, and they all have their own ambitions and pursuits.

What's more, there are enough Wu Xun forces in the imperial court. For Wu Xun, these people still hope to have wars, so that they can make meritorious deeds and be named marquis and generals.

In Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu specially ordered someone to prepare a banquet.And Xu Huizu was a little confused, even a little frightened, but he didn't dare to have the slightest objection. Naturally, he obediently went to the Qing Palace. The Supreme Emperor has an edict!
"Sit down." The white-haired old Zhu looked like a kind old farmer, looked at Xu Huizu and said, "We are happy to see you like this. Anyway, you look a bit virtuous, but this face is not as good as the sky De Yingwu."

Xu Huizu didn't even know how to answer the conversation at this time, mainly because Emperor Hongwu's opening was unusual.

Lao Zhu also just smiled, he can understand Xu Huizu's nervousness, it's really a normal thing.

Not to mention Xu Huizu, even Xu Da and Tang He back then, these old Zhu’s childhood playmates and fellow countrymen, did not dare to be careless in front of Lao Zhu who proclaimed himself emperor. Diligent.

Lao Zhu sat down with a smile, and pointed to the stool, "We let you sit, and you sit. Now we are old farmers from Zhongli Township, Haozhou, and you are our eldest nephew, the son of our old brother. The others don't matter. !"

Xu Huizu didn't dare to just go downhill. Xu Huizu actually knew what kind of person Hongwu Emperor was.

For Xu Huizu's embarrassment and embarrassment, Lao Zhu naturally knew it well, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it.After all, as the hero of a generation, Lao Zhu can be said to be extremely confident, and he also knows his image in the minds of the officials.

Not to mention Xu Huizu, even if Xu Da was resurrected, he would be very cautious in front of Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu took a sip of his wine and suddenly said, "Do you know why we chose your daughter to be Ying'er's concubine?"

Xu Huizu replied honestly, "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is dull. Presumably, His Majesty felt that the Zhongshan Prince's family was strict in family education, and his late father was strict in discipline. Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Empress is virtuous and elegant."

Old Zhu interrupted directly, staring into Xu Huizu's eyes and said, "We chose your daughter, and we still want Ying'er to ascend the throne in the future."

Seeing Xu Huizu lowered his head and dared not speak, Lao Zhu continued, "You know what the emperor is like when you think about it. Yinger has Su Hui, and you know it when you want to come. Yinger should be a big The son of tomorrow is a generation of sages!"

Xu Huizu wants to follow suit, although it is a bit exaggerated to say "holy king", but Xu Huizu feels that today's day does have the appearance of becoming a generation of Mingjun.The Ming Dynasty became more prosperous and powerful, and Xu Huizu felt that there was no problem.

Old Zhu chuckled, and then continued, "His mother belongs to the Chang family. At the beginning, we just wanted to let our grandson ascend the throne smoothly, so as to help our grandson. If you don't choose your Xu family, it's because of your Xu family's meritorious service. At that time your father was still there, and Lao Chang is gone, so don't worry."

Xu Huizu broke out in a cold sweat instantly, he didn't know why the Supreme Emperor ordered him to enter the palace this time, why did he say these things!
It's just that Xu Huizu really thought about these things years ago, and he couldn't figure out what Lao Zhu was thinking.

In terms of credit, Xu Da is obviously bigger than Chang Yuchun.In terms of background, Xu Da was Lao Zhu's playmate since he was a child, and he was his confidant who joined Lao Zhu's command at the beginning of the Qibing.

As for Chang Yuchun, although he is also from Fengyang, he is from Huaiyuan, and he is not considered to be a child with Lao Zhu, and he only joined Lao Zhu after he became a bandit.

There may be some reasons for talking about the first emperor and his childhood sweetheart.But Xu Huizu knew better, not to mention the royal family, even ordinary nobles, marriages are not so free, and most of the time it is not up to the children to decide.

Looking at it now, it is very likely that Emperor Hongwu 'disliked' Xu Da's too much contribution, or that although the Chang family still had Sapphire to carry the banner, the three sons of Chang Yuchun were all useless.

Old Zhu chuckled a few times, and then said, "We chose Miaoqing at the beginning because we thought she was from the Xu family. She promised Ying'er to us, and your Xu family will keep Ying'er in the future!"

Xu Huizu wanted to escape, some things were really not something he should listen to, not even his father was qualified to listen.Even if there are some things, Xu Huizu actually understands.But when he said it, it was obviously shocking.

Lao Zhu sighed, and said slowly, "Our Yinger is precocious and assertive. When we were around, no one could touch him. It was just that we thought at that time that if we were gone, he and Biaoer would get along sooner or later." Biao'er reckons Ying'er will not be abolished, but we, Ying'er, reckon we'll have to hold back for years."

Looking at Xu Huizu whose head was almost hanging under the table, Lao Zhu continued, "Although there is this sapphire, but sapphire is not young. We have taken a fancy to you. You are just right in age and can protect our heroes." Er. The Xu family and the Chang family are all tied to our Yinger, and no one can touch him."

Lao Zhu immediately sighed, and said, "We think it's right, Ying'er's background is good in itself. It's just that his mother left early, so we were afraid that something would happen. A few years ago, the side concubine of Biao'er was so stupid and a bit blind. Don't take it to heart. Let's find him a good wife, and we think that even if Biao'er becomes the throne, Ying'er won't be touched."

"I didn't expect that, our bider left early." Lao Zhu suddenly put down his wine glass, and said with some sadness, "Let's not talk about that, you can protect Yin'er in the future, and this is the same! After we think about Yin'er, the prince The concubine should not be the most powerful martial arts of you."

The crown princess and queen should be chosen from Wu Xun's family, which is what many people know.It's just that many people also understand that the future concubines and concubines may not come from the top Wuxun families, or they may really be foreign companies involved in politics.

Old Zhu looked at Xu Huizu and said seriously, "We called you here today just to make you understand. Now you are the emperor's brother-in-law and the prince's uncle, you have to protect them, and you are their help outside!"

Xu Huizu got up immediately and hurriedly knelt down, "I dare not!"

"Don't you dare?!" Old Zhu said sharply, "If you don't dare, we will abolish Xu Miaoqing! Remember it for us, if you can't protect the emperor or the prince, then you should die!"

Old Zhu was extremely stern, staring at Xu Huizu who was prostrate on the ground, he said, "The emperor doesn't need you to worry about now, he should be an emperor by nature. It's just that you have to protect the prince. You have to teach your heirs well, and you have to protect him." The crown prince ascends the throne!"

In fact, Xu Huizu didn't understand these truths.In fact, Xu Huizu's martial arts all saw what the Chang family did back then.

The three Chang Mao brothers are indeed of mediocre aptitude, and they are not particularly successful, but Sapphire has often charged forward.Although it seems to be the confidant of the former emperor Zhu Biao, everyone knows that Lan Yu was born to belong to the team of the then emperor's grandson.

Today's Xu Huizu is actually born to be the crown prince's team. If he wants to become the crown prince's support in the outer dynasty, he must not shake the crown prince's position.

Old Zhu was trying to scare Xu Huizu. This time Xu Huizu came over and made a lot of things very clear. This actually gave Xu Huizu more motivation so that Xu Huizu could go out and work hard.

When it comes to the way of imperial servants, Lao Zhu is very familiar with it.In front of Lao Zhu, countless heroes can only work hard.

Soon Xu Huizu will be of great use. At this time, it naturally means that whether it is beating or encouraging, it is time to have a good chat with Xu Huizu.

This is actually just the beginning, because Xu Huizu is only called by Lao Zhu now, which is not enough.

It is good to give both kindness and power, this is what Lao Zhu thinks is the way to be an imperial servant.Naturally, he would do the harsher things, and he also had such prestige.Well, Lao Zhu thinks it's better to leave it to his precious grandson.

What Xu Huizu thinks is actually not that important, and Lao Zhu really doesn't care.He only needs Xu Huizu to work hard, as long as Xu Huizu shows enough value, that's enough.

As for the others, Lao Zhu really didn't care. He always didn't care much about other people's thoughts.
