Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 2 Zhu Yuanzhang: "My son Zhu Qi has such a talent?"

Zhu Qi was lying on the bed, thinking that he would go to be the king of Sai in the bitter cold land of Liaodong in the future, and his heart was miserable.

What could be worse than this?
In the north, there are many Jurchen tribes fighting grass valleys, in the west, the remnants of Beiyuan have moved thousands of miles into the desert to covet the Central Plains, and in the east, there is the country of Gaoli, the left prime minister of the Zhengdong Province, which was canonized by Beiyuan. Goryeo is still the son-in-law of Beiyuan.

It would be fine if there were kings of Sai in other dynasties. Each of the nine kings of Sai in Hongwu Daming had actual military power. Zhu Yuanzhang really counted on his son to guard the frontiers for Ming Dynasty. Let’s really fight, the supreme commander It's the king of Sai like himself.

Not to mention the God of War, at least King Sai had to pass the military literacy to be able to sit in Liao.

Zhu Qi could figure out how much he had, and he was not capable of defending the frontier for the Ming Dynasty.

But it is not a simple matter to make Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind and change his fiefdom.

No matter how I think about it, my future is just two words—pills.

The more Zhu Qi thought about it, the more sleepy he became, so he simply closed his eyes with a peaceful expression on his face.

But just as Zhu Qicai fell asleep, there were hurried footsteps outside, and then the internal officials and eunuchs shouted like killing pigs:

"Your Highness! Your Majesty has urgently called you over!"

Zhu Qiteng sat up suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang called me?What are you doing?
Zhu Qi had met Zhu Yuanzhang, a tall and strong man with rough and dark skin.

He is the father and the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang in memory is extremely strict with his children, and it is common for him to take care of his children with a stick.

Hearing the internal official's tone this time, Zhu Qi became a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked:

"Why did His Majesty summon me? You didn't say I was sick?"

The inner officer bowed and said cautiously:

"The courtiers don't know, but His Majesty is not in a good mood. His Majesty happened to bump into His Majesty King Yan's reading a comic book earlier. His Majesty King Yan has already been hung and beaten with a cane a hundred times..."

Zhu Qi was shocked, lost his voice for a while, and then lay down silently.

"Ah... this king's head hurts... hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to show this king..."

The internal officer also has a headache, but how can the emperor's order be violated?

The internal officer quickly took two steps forward and said:
"Your Highness, please don't pretend to be sick. The King of Yan has recruited everything. You should hurry up."

Zhu Qi sat up and began to put on his shoes tremblingly.

Dead Zhu Di, is he a brother? He betrayed me just like that. Didn’t he say that he would kill me?Did you just say it without killing him?
Zhu Qi can already guess why he called himself, probably it's a comic book thing, how will he explain it when he sees his father later?
【Father, it's the fourth brother who insists on going from me, it has nothing to do with me! 】

No, if you say that, what can Zhu Di do if he hates me in the future?He is the man who will be Emperor Yongle in the future!
[Baby does everything alone, dad!Don't embarrass the fourth brother! 】

No, what if Zhu Yuanzhang peeled off my skin?He is the current Emperor Hongwu!

That's fine, I can't afford to offend both sides.

Zhu Qina was in a dilemma, and the difficulty was even more difficult, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to bite the bullet and do it.

Led by the eunuchs, through the palace gate all the way to the door of the imperial study, Zhu Qi's mind was already blank.

At this moment, the talent of "pretending to be stupid" deeply rooted deep in the genes is fully exerted. When you are trained later, you will not say a word or explain anything. At worst, you will be hung up and beaten with a hundred vines just like Zhu Di. whip!
Manly man, what am I afraid of!
Zhu Qi became angry, the inner officer pushed open the door, and he crossed the threshold with his head held high.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting behind the desk, and Zhu Di beside him was kneeling on the ground, presenting a gesture of prostration.

The buttocks of the Tsing Yi clothes on her body were facing the door, they were beaten to pieces, and the streaks of blood on the buttocks could be clearly seen through the inner shirt.

Damn, did you really hit a hundred canes? !
There was still a rattan stick on the desk in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, only to see that his face was neither sad nor happy, and he threw the open comic book on the table.

"boom."

"Qi'er, you gave this picture book to Zhu Di?"

Zhu Qi's legs softened, and he knelt down facing his father, blushing, and pointed at his younger brother Zhu Di with an indignant expression:
"Father, the fourth brother insisted on snatching this. I told him that you are now at the age of studying hard and learning knowledge. How can such playful things appear on your desk! Father knows, how sad and disappointed he must be! If he doesn't listen, as an elder brother, I'm heartbroken!"

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, Zhu Di opened his eyes wide, touched his upper and lower lips, but didn't make any sound.

But Zhu Qi continued:

"Of course, I also have a responsibility. I should discipline my fourth brother more. I will take my fourth brother back so that I can punish him. I will definitely watch him study hard and won't commit another crime. If he does, I don't need you to do it, my father. Break his legs first!"

When Zhu Di heard Zhu Qi's words, his eyes stopped rolling, and it didn't take long for tears to start rolling in his eyes.

The main reason is that the mood fluctuates too much, which affects the wound on the buttocks, which is painful.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Qi, and he didn't know whether he was angry or what, but there was a smile on his face, and he said:
"You son of a bitch! You showed your brother the picture book, and we're going to settle the score afterwards. Let me ask you, did you draw this cartoon?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook the "Ming Mountains and Rivers" in his hand, and Zhu Qi bit the bullet and nodded.

It's okay not to nod, no one in this world can paint this style of painting except myself!

It's also fortunate that this is a black and white painting, and none of the pages are colored paintings, otherwise I don't know how to explain the matter of just the paint.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:

"Where did the cover of this book come from? It feels better than the one I used. Who did you ask to make it?"

Zhu Qi bit the bullet and continued:

"An official in the palace did it for my son, and my son can't remember who did it."

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask about the case of the book, but stood up and said:

"I see that there is a page in this painting book. After Zhu Chongba joined the rebel army, he saw a map in Guo Zixing's tent. If you draw the map, I believe that this painting is yours. Come here, here is Pen and paper are all ready for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said "Zhu Chongba", "Guo Zixing" and "joined the rebel army", and he told Zhu Qi that his forehead was sweating.

Fortunately, this is something he painted by Zhu Qi, and it did happen. The protagonist in the comic is Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, it is the glorious and majestic Long Aotian image from beginning to end.

Otherwise, if any point is missing, it will be a big deal, and you will have to walk around if you can't afford it.

As for drawing a map to prove that the manga was drawn by him, Zhu Qi didn't think too much about it.

Others may be dumbfounded when they encounter brush painting, but Zhu Qi has learned painting since elementary school, not to mention painting with a brush.

Don't really think that modern people are necessarily inferior to ancient people in practicing calligraphy. Modern people have abundant resources, theoretical knowledge plus scientific practice methods, and they are not comparable to ancient people.

In the children's palace, the four treasures of the study used by children who have learned calligraphy for two years are not affordable for ordinary scholars in ancient times.

As for the map drawn in the comic book, of course Zhu Qi knew which one it was, and that was a map of the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Qi took a brush and drew the outline of the map three times, five times and two times, and then marked some rivers, mountains, and probably important cities.

Zhu Qi drew very quickly, the brush was swimming like a dragon and snake, and the ink was flowing like clouds and flowing water. He finished drawing the map in a short time, then put down the brush, and retreated respectfully to the side.

I took another look at what I drew, but unfortunately I didn't have a pencil, otherwise I could draw better.

Zhu Qi didn't think much about it, but Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly startled at this moment. He had fought battles for half his life and had seen countless maps, but he was able to draw maps including Mobei, the Western Regions, and Koryo in one go like Zhu Qi did. The overall picture of the large territory within is still only seen in my life.

The point is, the map is disassembled one by one, but they are all incomparably correct.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already asked someone to look at it long before Zhu Qilai. Although the general shape is different from the general perception, there is really not much difference between mountains, rivers, lakes, and city passes.

And Zhu Qi was able to draw such an accurate map by heart silently, which is also a remarkable skill in the military camp.

What do you rely on to fight?The right time, the right place, and the right people, what is the right place?It's a map!
If you don't even know the surrounding terrain before the battle, how can you win the battle?

Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked:
"How did you learn it? I don't remember you ever did."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked about painting a map. Zhu Qi thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was asking about painting itself, so he hurriedly answered:

"Returning to my father, my son is actually very interested in these things. Although there is no teacher who has taught them specifically, but my son always reads books and checks ancient books by himself. It can be regarded as self-taught."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Qi and said the words "self-taught" with a normal expression, especially when he thought that not only the map, but also the analysis of many battle cases and current situations in this comic is unprecedentedly accurate, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

What's this?This is military talent, the talent of a general!

My son Zhu Yuanzhang can draw maps at the age of 15 and can analyze the situation of past wars. Isn’t that amazing?
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled:
"Okay, as expected of my son!"

Zhu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately Zhu Yuanzhang did not reject such things as painting.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, so naturally he wouldn't blame Zhu Qi for showing Zhu Di the comic book, so he encouraged Zhu Qi to study hard and keep working hard.

Zhu Qi also immediately patted his chest and promised that the sky would never give birth to me, King Qi of Liao, the sea of ​​learning has been like a long night since ancient times!
Then, taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's good mood, Zhu Qi pleaded for Zhu Di again with snot and tears. Zhu Di swore to heaven that he must learn from the third brother, so he was let go.

The two brothers supported each other, and in a harmonious scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, they quickly ran away.

Not long after Zhu Qi and Zhu Di ran away, Zhu Yuanzhang called to the internal officer waiting outside with his hands behind his back, and ordered:

"Go, call Xu Da to me."

"Yes."

The internal officer responded and left in a hurry.

Xu Da was at the official office in the Forbidden City at this time, and hurried over when he heard the emperor's summons.

After Xu Da walked into the room to salute, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing off, picked up the map drawn by Zhu Qi, and grinned:
"Xu Tiande, I found a general..."

　The new book is on the road, please give me more advice
