Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 158
Zhu Qi didn't expect Lan Yu to arrange the front line defense so quickly.

As soon as he heard that Lan Yu was coming, Zhu Qi hurriedly got up and went out to meet him.

In fact, according to Zhu Qi's status, he can put on the airs of a prince. He is the general of the Northern Expedition East Road, and Lan Yu is still his subordinate.

But Zhu Qi has a natural liking for Lan Yu, after all, this is a fierce person like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in history.

Although, Lan Yu's later personal life was somewhat criticized, such as adopting a subordinate general as a foster son, openly occupying the concubine of the Northern Yuan Emperor's harem, and so on.

But this does not obliterate the important role played by sapphire in history.

Facing Lan Yu, Zhu Qi was naturally respectful.

All the way along this trip, Lan Yu still saw the love of the people in Liaoyang City for His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

In addition to the previous generals, all those who have dealt with His Royal Highness Liao Wang praised His Highness Liao Wang.

Lan Yuxin had secretly taken precautions, the Liao king could regain the hearts of the people in Liaoyang in a short period of time.

It seems that I have underestimated his ability to win people's hearts, and I am afraid that if it is not this trick, I will use it against myself again.

I must not follow his way, after all, I am on His Royal Highness's side.

Lan Yu thought so in her heart, but saw a figure approaching in front of her.

Lan Yu was wondering who it was, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Liao, who greeted him from the official office in person!
Although Lan Yu was on guard against Zhu Qi and regarded him as a possible future rival of His Highness the Crown Prince, it was hard to express her surprise when she saw His Highness King Liao running out to greet him in person.

Zhu Qi didn't think so much, he walked forward quickly, and saw that Lan Yu was still in a daze, so he straightened his clothes, saluted Lan Yu and said:
"The general has worked hard! The battle in western Liaoning is fierce. This king already knew about it. If the general hadn't held Naha in western Liaoning and sent hundreds of thousands of troops, how could I have captured eastern Liaoning so easily?"

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, he thought about Zhu Qi saying polite words to him, or asking about the defense battle situation on Liaohe side in a business-like manner.

But I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Liao Wang would talk about his contribution in Liaoxi when he came up, so he heard His Royal Highness Liao Wang continue to say:

"This king has already written a letter to his father, telling the story of the Liao war in detail.

According to what I said, the greatest contribution to this East Road battlefield is you, General Sapphire! "

Sapphire was taken aback, and said:

"Your Highness, how dare the last general take credit for it? When His Highness swept across Liaodong, he was lucky enough to win a city. How can he be compared with His Highness?"

Zhu Qi waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Others say that, why does General Sapphire say the same?
This king is not a greedy person who has been blinded by lard. What kind of strength did this king do in this Liao battlefield?
Pushing all the way down, the entire Liaodong adds up to no more than [-] yuan troops, and most of them are recruits who have no combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, General Sapphire, with more than 5 people, restrained Naha and sent 20 people who control the strings, and even won a city.

I'm afraid that even without this king staking the land here in Liaodong, it's only a matter of time before General Sapphire pushes Nahachu out of Liaoxi and flattens Liaodong. "

What Zhu Qi said was swearing, and he really thought so in his heart.

What's more, it is a matter of course to give most of the credit to Lan Yu. As for myself, of course, generals like Ma Yun and the others take the lead.

From Sapphire's ears, though, that's a bit surprising.

Even though he had heard rumors that Liao King Zhu Qi was especially generous in terms of military exploits, he was still extremely shocked to see it with his own eyes.

Naturally, Zhu Qi would not let Lan Yu sit outside in a daze.

He quickly pulled Lan Yu towards the inside of the government office, and Lan Yu realized from the surprise at this moment that he couldn't fall into the Liao King's scheme.

Most likely he wanted to win me over deliberately, otherwise he is a good prince, what is the general doing to give me military merits?
Do you want to make courtiers?He is not the crown prince, so if he does this, he is afraid that he is not trying to win over and cultivate his own power. One day in the future, he will compete with His Highness the crown prince for the position of great treasure!

When Sapphire thought of this, her face became a little unhappy.

This Lan Yu has a straightforward personality, has a clear love and hate, and always speaks straightforwardly, especially to those Prince Sai other than the prince.

He has never had a good face of compliments.

After all, in Lan Yu's eyes, apart from the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, there is only Prince Zhu Biao.

As for the other princes, they are all outsiders, let alone their own superiors.

Lan Yu thought that Zhu Qi's deeds were done deliberately in front of her, so as to win her over.

If other people think this way, they may not keep their expressions on their faces, but when Lan Yu thinks so, she no longer hides it.

Zhu Qi took Lan Yu into the house and asked someone to serve wine and food.

Sapphire immediately raised her hand and said:

"His Royal Highness King Liao, the last general is in charge of his duties, so there is no need for these wine and meat entertainments.

His Royal Highness King Liao asked for credit for the young general, and the latter was naturally grateful.

At the end of this trip, I just want to report on the defense situation of Liaohe. "

Lan Yu directly refused Zhu Qi's banquet. According to the official rules of the Ming Dynasty, this was already very disrespectful to Zhu Qi, the king of Liao.

After all, the Chinese people's wine table culture is very particular. Zhu Qi is the boss and Lan Yu is the subordinate.

The boss treats the subordinates, and the subordinates can refuse, so it goes without saying?
But Zhu Qi, as a cartoonist in the 21st century, doesn't have any superiors and subordinates. The editor who is so invincible and urges manuscripts every day has never met, let alone had dinner together.

What's more, judging from Zhu Qi's three views, isn't a general like Lan Yu who refuses banquets and only talks about work, the ultimate manifestation of self-discipline!
With military affairs as the first priority, it is no wonder that Sapphire can become a famous general through the ages!

Zhu Qi was full of emotions in his heart, waved to the left and right and said:

"Since that's the case, don't eat meat and drink. Let's go out later. The king and the general have military affairs to discuss."

Those subordinate internal officials all nodded yes, and then withdrew.

Lan Yu frowned inwardly, thinking that what she said would make the young prince furious.

I feel that I have refuted his face, and I should know my attitude, and I don't want to get too close to him.

In the future, I won't think about trying to win me over.

It turned out that this prince was just like a normal person, if someone else, such as His Royal Highness King Yan, would have already complained and scolded him for being rude.

As a result, His Royal Highness King Liao still had a smile on his face, and made everyone else back down.

Sapphire couldn't help becoming alert, what does this mean?The city of His Royal Highness King Liao is much deeper than he thought.

Zhu Qi stood up there, turned around and went to the side to get something.

Sapphire's whole body collapsed, and she instinctively wanted to touch the hilt of the sword, but found nothing, and then remembered that she had been disarmed when she came in.

Communicating with the prince face to face, even if you are a general, this is not a military camp, how can there be any reason to carry weapons?
Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Liao just took out a token, not a killer weapon.

Lan Yu was taken aback when she saw the badge, isn't this a military order from His Majesty the Emperor?

I saw His Royal Highness King Liao handing the general order to Lan Yu with both hands, and then said:

"General Lan Yu, this king knows that his talent and learning are shallow. It's okay for me to command thousands of people, but it's already quite difficult for me to command thousands of people.

If it weren't for the help of many capable subordinates around me, and the general leading my Ming soldiers to fight bloody battles in western Liaoning.

Don't talk about winning Liaoyang, even if I win Lushun, even the former Lion's Mouth, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble. "

Zhu Qi said, sighed, put the general order into Lan Yu's hand, and said:
"Actually, this king recommended General Sapphire to lead the army on the east road.

It's just that the emperor's order is hard to violate, and this king can only bite the bullet and go on top.

Now that Liaoxi and Liaodong have been pacified, the laying out of this thing across hundreds of miles is really beyond the scope of my king's ability.

This military order, the military affairs of the Liao region, will be handed over to General Lan Yu from today onwards. I also ask General Lan Yu not to disappoint my father, let alone the great trust of this king.

If the king's guess is correct, the king will go back to Yingtian soon, and there will naturally be someone to take care of this Liao land.

This king has already written a letter to his father, and there is no need to transfer another general. General Lan Yu will be in charge of the military affairs of Liao.

I believe it won't be long before the letter of appointment should come down, and this king can be regarded as an early appointment. "

Zhu Qi said it lightly, but from Lan Yu's point of view, there was an added surprise in his heart.

This is... an expression of complete trust in me?
I just said that just now...

Zhu Qi didn't have anything else to say to Lan Yu, since Lan Yu had said that he was on military affairs, he thought to himself that the pressure from Naha should be quite heavy on the Liaohe side.

So let Lanyu set off as soon as possible and return to the front line of Liaohe.

When Lan Yu left Liaoyang, she still looked confused, a little bit out of her mind.

The subordinate lieutenants around him were also a little strange, especially after seeing the military order in Lan Yu's hand, they were even more shocked.

But General Sapphire didn't speak, and they didn't dare to ask or speak.

It was only after leaving Liaoyang for a while that General Sapphire breathed a sigh of relief and said something thought-provoking:
"His Royal Highness King Liao, the city is unfathomable."

........................

Lan Yu left over there, Zhu Qi didn't know that there had been tens of thousands of games just now.

Liu Bowen came out from the next room, glanced at Zhu Qi, and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness Liao Wang, don't you also want to have a good relationship with this general Sapphire?"

Zhu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said:
"General Sapphire has outstanding talent, and I have a hunch that the one who will destroy Bei Yuan in the future must be him!"

What Zhu Qi said was firm, although Liu Bowen was not sure whether Lan Yu could destroy Bei Yuan.

But based on his understanding of Lan Yu, this person is indeed outstanding in military affairs, but there are few tasks that Lan Yu can't complete.

When he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the Southern and Northern Wars, Sapphire fought bravely and was not afraid of death. As a pioneer, he was able to take the lead.

As a general, he can also coordinate the entire army, so it can be said that he is quite a versatile figure.

But Liu Bowen still cast a low glance at Sapphire.

Sapphire's talent is more than an all-around character?
From Zhu Qi's point of view, that was simply a hexagonal warrior that exploded!

The battle of Yuerhai in history was so wonderful, Zhu Yuanzhang described it in one sentence:

"Lan Yu is my Zhongqing, the pharmacist!"

Zhongqing is the famous general Wei Qing, and the pharmacist refers to Li Jing who made great contributions in the Tang Dynasty!

By the way, Lan Yu is actually Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law!

But in history, Lan Yu relied on her own strength to forcibly overwhelm Chang Yuchun's reputation. Speaking of Lan Yu, no one would describe him as Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law.

Because everyone in the world knows that Lan Yu is the legendary general who buried Bei Yuan with his own hands!

What Zhu Qi saw was the future, so he naturally knew the power of Sapphire.

And even if Liu Bowen is as clever as he is, it is still a bit exaggerated to predict the future like Zhu Qi.

So Liu Bowen still didn't understand Zhu Qi's emphasis on sapphire.

Liu Bowen asked again:
"Your Highness, although you have a heart for talents.

But Sapphire can't win over easily, he is a member of His Royal Highness, so as not to cause misunderstanding at that time. "

When it comes to royal matters, even Liu Bowen has to be cautious.

Zhu Qi listened and thought about it, probably Liu Bowen was worried about those censors, knew that he had a good relationship with the generals, and asked for credit for them.

At that time, I will say that I am the king of Sai, who will win over courtiers and generals, and go to Zhu Yuanzhang to make a small report.

In fact, Zhu Qi wasn't worried at all, and it wasn't that those speech officials had never made a small report, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhu Qi still had great confidence in his father, and Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely different from other emperors who were wary of their sons again and again.

He is more wary of ministers, but he has full trust in his sons.

Of course, this trust also directly led to the Jingnan Battle, which is of course a later story.

After Liu Bowen left over there, Zhu Qina really had nothing to do with his life, and everything was pushed to Lan Yu, so he could fish for fish and wait to go back to respond to Tianfu's edict.

At this time, Bai Tang Yu'er came in wearing a strong attire. She was dressed like a man with a hair crown, looking very heroic.

But looking at that tender and tender appearance, it is still easy to see that she is a woman disguised as a man.

Bai Tang Yu'er sat beside Zhu Qi and asked:
"The one just now is the General Sapphire that His Highness has been thinking about?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said:
"Well, that's right, you can be optimistic. In the future, Bei Yuan will be destroyed, and he must be the one."

Bai Tang Yu'er covered her mouth with a smile and said:
"I don't know much about these things, His Highness just says yes.

It's just that the general is very domineering, just now he refused His Highness's banquet, I couldn't help thinking of reprimanding him. "

Zhu Qi looked at Bai Tang Yu'er as if he wanted to complain for him, immediately got up and hugged Bai Tang Yu'er by the waist, walked towards the room, and said seriously:
"How can a person in the harem be involved in politics?"

Bai Tang Yu'er blushed, raised her hand to pat Zhu Qi and said:

"You're not the emperor, so why not have a harem."

Zhu Qi's old face was not red, and he said with a smile:

"Don't treat the prince as a king! I will let you see and see today, this king is amazing!"

After all, the red-sleeved tent is so warm, and the beauty is in my arms...

Save 100 million words here for everyone.
