The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 243
This sad tune not only stunned the King of Han, but also stunned the Prince and King Zhao at the same time.

The youngest, Zhu Gaosui, had to be quick to react. Seeing the green face of the second brother, he couldn't help laughing.

"Eldest nephew, haha, I really belong to you!"

"You child, where did you learn this obscenity? It doesn't stop!"

Although Zhu Gaochi reprimanded him, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

It's fine if you think about it, anyway, it disgusted the second uncle, Li Yu stopped playing, and left the suona casually, and followed the old man and the third uncle into the mourning hall.

Zhu Gaoxu pulled out three wine glasses from under the altar table, put them on the altar table one by one, and glanced at his elder nephew: "I don't have eyesight, pour wine!"

This guy is angry, this is intentional revenge.Li Yu didn't care about it, who made him a junior, anyway, today he came to see the excitement of his second uncle, so he obeyed him, simply picked up the jug, and filled the three cups one by one.

"Aren't you here to express your condolences? Respect me?" Zhu Gaoxu took a glass of wine and looked at the prince and King Zhao dissatisfied.

The crown prince and King Zhao were speechless for a while, and they also took the wine glasses, touched the second child, and drank it down in one gulp.

"You two, don't persuade me, whoever persuades me is a bastard." Zhu Gaoxu threw the wine glass angrily.

The prince opened his mouth when he said this, and all the words he had just thought up were blocked back.

"Okay, I've met this man, and I've drank the farewell wine, so let's go back to work, and come back to offer incense after the burial."

The prince moved his lips: "No, second child, you, this, are you really going to die?"

"That's for sure! My second uncle is a hero on the battlefield. He is an uncompromising iron-blooded tough guy. He spits and nails. The mourning hall is all set up. How can he not return to the West? Second uncle, call me when you come back to eat Ha!" Before Zhu Gaoxu could answer, Li Yu smirked and said a word first.

Zhu Gaoxu's face that had just returned to normal suddenly turned green again, and he looked at his eldest nephew resentfully.

Li Yu's heart is full of joy, it's time!Let you be a demon, let you put on a show and let Lao Tzu pour the wine, just pour the wine, and you can just take three wine glasses!

"What nonsense! Don't talk any more!" Zhu Gaochi suppressed a smile, then scolded his son again, and quickly smoothed things over: "Second brother, this child is not old or young, don't forget to take it to heart. According to elder brother, you It's better to go into the palace with me, kowtow to the old man, admit your mistake, and this matter will be over, don't worry, everything will be done by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will take care of it for you."

Zhu Gaosui also helped to persuade: "That's right, second brother, hurry up, this matter is up to the elder brother. In this way, I will accompany you after drinking, and the three of us will enter the palace together, and kowtow to the old man to admit his mistake. His mouth is forgiven." Whoever, this is going to be a war, it is time for you to contribute, he has to beat you, this idiot can see it, you are right, big nephew?"

What the hell?Li Yu was taken aback when he heard that, third uncle, you are a conscience-stricken person, who is going to blame you for what you say?

"Don't go!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, clapped his hands, stood up, and sighed quietly: "This time, no one can persuade you! I really won't serve you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned over and climbed into the "coffin", and Gu Lu lay down, humming a little tune leisurely.

"I am waiting for the person sent by the old man now, and I will wait to see what he can do to me."

The eldest and the third came up together, and Li Yu looked at the furnishings inside the "coffin". The blue silk quilt looked like a funeral, and the most amazing thing was that there was glutinous rice in it.See how I run on you!Let you play retreat to advance!

"No, Second Uncle, this thing is a cabinet, right? It still belongs to Huaimu, Second Uncle, Huaimu gathers shade, this is not a burial! If the corpse changes later, who will it belong to? With your status, it's not Jinsinan's." , it has to be from huanghuali, or you wait..."

"Shut up, little bastard." Zhu Gaochi glared, "Second brother, you..."

"Second brother, stop playing, it's unlucky!"

"I didn't find a suitable coffin for a while, hum! When the imperial decree arrives, I will bury me like this!"

Just as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, a shrill cry came from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived—"

Zhu Gaoxu still had a face of dissatisfaction, lying in the "coffin" without moving, the crown prince took the lead, and Zhu Gaosui and Li Yu knelt down to welcome the imperial edict.

Little Snot brought people in, and after greeting them, they got up.

"Where is the King of Han?" Little Snot looked around the hall, but did not find Zhu Gaoxu.

Li Yu pointed to the "coffin".

The little snot came to the "coffin", and Zhu Gaosui snorted unconvinced.

"Second Master, you didn't come out on purpose, did you?"

"I won't come out anymore!" Zhu Gaoxu yelled, closing his eyes, as if you could do anything to me.

"That's it." Little Snot's face turned serious: "His Majesty's oral order, according to the rules, a bed of dharani scriptures, a complete set of funeral ceremonies, 21 days in the coffin and buried in the earth! Second master, offended! Come!"

Little Snot waved, and a team of eunuchs came in one after another. The eunuchs each held a tray in their hands, on which were placed the funeral rites bestowed by the emperor, including a complete set of shrouds.

The four little eunuchs put down their things, pulled up the dharani quilt and covered Zhu Gaoxu's body.

This thing was handed down from the former Yuan Dynasty. It is made of satin, and it is embroidered with Buddhist scriptures of the Lamaism in Tibetan, which is full of the meaning of transcendence. According to regulations, the Ming Dynasty is the Han Dynasty, and formal funerals do not use this thing, probably. In order to disgust the second son, the old man gave the funeral objects other than the etiquette of the Han family.

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned green for the third time.

He tore off the dharani quilt, threw it out in a ball, angrily: "What are you doing! Take it away! Get out!"

"Second Master, you should take pity on the servants, and let the servants go back to make things easier!" Little Snot begged pitifully, and with a wave of his hand, the little eunuch picked up the thrown quilt and stuffed it back into the "coffin." "Li--this time, he didn't cover Han Wang.

"Your Majesty specifically told you that since you stopped the coffin, you can't leave the lid open. Who will be the one who cheated the corpse..."

While Little Snot gave instructions, the two little eunuchs lifted the cover of the cabinet and buckled it on the "coffin". The long coffin nails were smashed into the plank, and without stopping, four of them were hit in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Gaoxu was anxious: "What are you doing! What are you doing!"

He was lying in the "coffin", trying to open the cover to get out, but unfortunately, under the blessing of the coffin nails, the cover did not move at all.

The little eunuch kept working, and Bang Bang Bang smashed in another eight nails. Fortunately, he knew to leave a seam at the front, so as not to suffocate the King of Han.

Seeing that things were getting more and more wrong, the prince held his nose and said, "Hey, did your Majesty really say that?"

"How dare you make this up, my servant!" Little Snot pretended to be wronged: "Your Majesty doesn't take a single word. Not long after you and the grandson left, His Majesty woke up and heard about the affairs in the second master's mansion; Your Majesty Having said that, let King Han calm down inside."

"How can you lock someone up in a coffin to be calm!" Zhu Gaosui roared impatiently, "Did your Majesty say how long it will be locked?"

"This... Your Majesty said that the coffin will be closed for 21 days..."

puff!Li Yu understood in seconds, the old man is good at handling things, it seems that this means to let the second uncle live in the coffin before the expedition!Now it's all right, the original confinement was only in the mansion, but this time it was directly let to live in the narrow and expensive coffin, I don't know how the second uncle will eat, drink and scatter, could it be that he is all inside?

"Second brother, don't worry, you, calm down! I'll go into the palace right away and beg for you!" The king of Han was noisy, and the prince hurriedly hugged the coffin to comfort him.

"Get out! Get out of here! I don't ask for help! If you have the ability, just bury me alive!"

Several people left in a hurry, and before they left, they called back all the servants who had just been kicked out, and continued to arrange the funeral.

His Majesty has already bestowed a complete set of funeral ceremonies, so it won't work if you don't blow it up!
Xiaonai returned to the palace to return to his life. Zhu Gaosui, who originally planned to go to the palace together to report the harvest from the beheading last night, thought about it and felt that the old man was a little angry when he got up.

The prince who just said that he entered the palace to intercede will not admit it when he leaves the Han Palace. The old man made it clear that he used this to punish the second child, so why should he rush to intercede?
After staying up all night, rejuvenate and go to the palace to make up for sleep!
As for Li Yu, life is hard, go to the Hall of Martial Arts to review today's playbook!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The King of Han was not really imprisoned until the time of the Northern Expedition. He only lived in the coffin for five days and he couldn't stand it anymore.

The old man sent Dongchang fans to stay in the Hanwang's mansion to watch him. For the first two days, the Hanwang still refused to accept it, clamoring what he could do to me. He was nailed to death at the top. He dug a hole in the side of the "coffin". Even eat in there.

On the third day, I couldn't stand it anymore!

The inside of the cabinet is cramped and high, you have to move when you turn over, and you are restricted even when you sit up. People dare to take care of themselves.

After finally suffering for two days, I couldn't stay any longer.

No matter what he didn't care, he got out, went to find a Xuanhua axe, and smashed the cabinet that had confined him for five days, Zhu Gaoxu vented his emotions.

Then he wrote a memorial to plead guilty, and personally entered the palace to kowtow to admit his mistake.

Hearing this, the prince hurried into the palace to plead for mercy, and Zhu Di's anger disappeared. It was just when the second child was needed, so he exposed the matter and promised the second child that as long as he performed well in the Northern Expedition, he would enshrine his land. Moved from Yunnan to Daning in the northeast of Shuntian Prefecture.

Hanwang went crazy with joy on the spot!Keep saying that you will die!
Daning is an important border town!It used to be the fiefdom of King Ning. Later, King Ning was deceived and moved to the prosperous Nanchang, so Daning became vacant. Duoyan Sanwei (Wuliangha Department), who was also deceived, begged for it many times. He pretended nothing of the matter, and sent Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to lead heavy troops to guard Wuliangha—this is to make him the king of Sai who holds the military power!

In case the plan for the position of the prince fails in the future, when the old man closes his eyes in the future, he can raise troops from Daning and go south to follow the sky, day and night!

Of course Zhu Di knew what the second child was thinking, but who said that Daning would be an important border town in the future?According to Dasun's plan, this Northern Expedition will sweep the caves in Liting, and then slowly wait for the cement road to be repaired to completely digest the grassland. Daning is nothing more than a big market between the grassland and the inland. Well, it would be nice to give more to the two yamen servants, and the second child can collect more business taxes!
On February [-], the dragon looked up.

On this day, Li Yu officially relinquished the important task of supervising the country, and the job of supervising the country was once again shouldered by the prince who had been idle for half a year. Li Yu got on a dragon boat by the river, followed the old man, and his second and third uncles, along the canal north to Shuntian Mansion .

The army of the Northern Expedition had already been mobilized to Shuntian Prefecture, with the three major battalions of the capital as the main force, plus a small number of frontier troops from Shandong, Shanxi, and Ningxia, totaling [-] troops.

Accompanying Li Yu to the north was a thousand young soldiers led by Fan Zhong.

The older soldiers were selected from the young army, and all of them were equipped with breech-loading flintlock guns. The old man cared about his grandson, and even dispatched a thousand war horses and a thousand rough horses to serve as the grandson's personal guards, guarding the left and right.

It took one month to travel to Shuntian Mansion. Zhu Di acted vigorously and resolutely. After reviewing the army outside the city, he swore to the Northern Expedition on the first day of March.

The 200,000 troops of the Beijing camp, plus [-] civilians conscripted, marched out of Shuntian Mansion and headed north.

In the middle of the month, the army went out of the Great Wall, marched to Daning, and joined with Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang who was stationed in Daning, and the army strength increased to [-].

At the beginning of April, the earth returned to spring, the grasslands began to thaw, and the tender grass came out again. Zhu Di led the camp with Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, led the Chinese army, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, and Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng, led the left and right sentries, and Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan. Governor Tan Qing led the left and right tucks, and the governors Liu Jiang and Zhu Rong were the forwards, with an army of 500,000, marching straight into the sphere of influence of Arutai in the northwest.

All the way, the grassland tribes on the marching route fled, causing great damage to the production and life of the herdsmen in the upper reaches of the grassland.

This is the reason why the Ming army has always chosen the Northern Expedition in spring!
Since ancient times, northern nomads went south to hunt grass valleys in autumn, while Han's northern expeditions were mostly chosen in spring and summer. At this time, the herdsmen on the grassland drove the flocks out again and were busy breeding and breeding. If there is no army of nomads, it can also disrupt their production.

Cattle and sheep can't put on fat, and they can't breed enough livestock. In winter, when a heavy snow falls, many people die of freezing and starvation!
Such a big move by the Ming army, Arutai, who had just suffered a blow two years ago, would naturally not fail to see it. It sent out scouts early on, and has been cruising around the periphery of the Ming army to investigate the movements of the Ming army. More than one scout battle broke out among the elite sentry cavalry.

And the headquarters of Alutai has already made preparations for the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army!

Arutai is very confident. The warriors from all tribes have assembled, the scimitar has been sharpened, the arrows are prepared enough, the horses are pasted with spring fat, and they are fat and strong; those old and weak herdsmen who cannot fight in various tribes They also packed up their tents, drove their cattle and sheep, and moved around the royal court, ready to cooperate with the warriors in the tribe who are good at fighting - to run to the northwest!

You can't run away!Alutai knew very well that the Tatars had just been beaten up two years ago, and their vitality was severely injured. They have not recovered from this, and the number of warriors assembled is only more than 500,000.The Ming army marched to the north, claiming to have [-] troops. In fact, there was definitely an army of [-], and there was the Shenji Battalion in charge. It was absolutely impossible to fight a frontal conflict and had to move north.

Anyway, most of the Ming army was infantry, and they had to go on an expedition. As long as they stayed in hiding, they would retreat until winter.

During the period, cavalry can also be sent to harass them from the side, attack and cut off their food roads... There are many methods that can be used. For so many years, the tribes on the grassland have always come here.

Not only that, Alutai also sent envoys early, Xu Yizhongli, to ask for help from Wara Mahamu and Ulianghatulu Kuchaer respectively.

However, the attitudes of Mahamu and Tuluhuchar have always been ambiguous, especially Tuluhuchar, who has always been in cahoots with the Ming army, and detained his envoys, fearing that there is something left for the Tatars to fight against the Ming army. Fighting, they are just reaping the benefits.

Alutai is not afraid either, the direction of his migration is the sphere of influence of Oala in the west.

If you don't send troops to save me, then everyone will die together!
