Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 35 Prince Su is going to rebel?

Shi Ziliang next to him nodded in agreement, that's right, I was beside His Majesty, and I can testify that it was you who killed all the chieftains alone.

After several days of trekking, they have arrived in Lingnan.At the gate of Lingnan City, Chief Shi Zhang Wei came with a group of ministers to greet him. From a distance, he heard Zhu Tuo laughing wildly.

"Hahaha." Ye Futian laughed.

When Zhu Tuo saw Zhang Wei, his face suddenly became solemn, he rushed towards Zhang Wei, grabbed his palm, and said sincerely: "Chang Shi, I have been eating, drinking and defecating outside for more than two months, and I have been beaten several times. After a battle, we finally wiped out those arrogant country bumpkins. Oh, it was really hard work."

"You have also seen that the mountainous terrain in the southern part of Jiaozhi is steep, and there are also fierce beasts attacking." Zhu Tuo barely squeezed out a tear and sighed: "I really didn't expect that this battle was so hard. I suffered so much during this time. Without enough food and clothing, I lost a lot of weight."

Then Zhu Tuo said loudly: "Although this battle is dangerous, we must not forget your arrangements. We traveled all night and were delayed for several days. I hope you won't blame me."

Zhang Wei choked on the complaints that were on his lips but was choked by Zhu Tuo.

He knew that war was always full of dangers, and as long as the king could return safely, that would be enough.

Can't blame him either.

But Zhang Wei didn't know that not only was Zhu Tuo not thin, but he had also grown a circle.

"..."

Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out, so he simply said no more and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Tuo praised: "Thanks to the long historians in Lingnan, everything went smoothly."

Zhang Wei looked very calm after hearing these compliments.

With His Majesty's temper, if you are happy, you will say that he is a scholar, if you are unhappy, he will say that he is a bastard.

It's no surprise.

When Zhu Tuo returned to the palace, he picked up a piece of paper and a brush and started writing seriously.

Lu Qing looked at the letter: "Your Majesty, are you going to write a letter?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Zhu Tuo nodded and said: "According to the rules, I write to the court once a month. In the past two months, I have been very busy and forgot that I must hurry up this time. "

Zhu Tuo wrote several times in succession, but still felt a little uncomfortable.After tearing it off, he pondered for a long time and finally got an idea and started writing again.

Father, every word you say is like speaking.

The people in Lingnan are quite pitiful.

The gentry in southern Xinjiang saw that the people in Lingnan were struggling to make a living, so they joined forces and took away our southern Xinjiang.

The folk customs in our Lingnan region are vast, with ten houses and nine empty houses. The people who were robbed had nothing of value on them and could only flee in all directions. However, these people were extremely rampant and would not even show mercy to the fugitives, but massacred them wantonly.

Because of the murder, there are many orphans in Lingnan, and many people have been trafficked as children.

When I saw this scene, I was worried and lost my appetite. I decided to lead the army to resist and live and die with the people of Lingnan!

Su Wang Zhu Tuo apologizes to His Majesty the Emperor!

Zhu Tuo wrote letters very seriously. He wrote every month and wrote nonsense to help Lingnan people live a good life.

Lu Qing looked at this scene and felt that his king was really shameless.

He has led his army to the border of Ming Dynasty. Under the charge of this army, these bandits are like a group of chickens.

Soft.

However, in his letter to the court, His Majesty described the bandit as so cruel.

Are you educated?

Lu Qing couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, if the court knows about our situation, you are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. What should you do if the court investigates us?"

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said indifferently: "What the hell, Lingnan is too far away from the empire, so how can anyone know it? Besides, my father has a lot of things to deal with every day, so how can he have time to take care of it? Our hometown? You are worrying too much. "

Lu Qing sighed with emotion.After Zhu Tuo finished writing the letter, he sent his guards to the palace and told Lu Qing: "Go hunting with me."

"Your Majesty, you have just returned, and many things have not been sorted out."

Zhu Tuo laughed and said, "Can't we take a break for more than two months?"

Lu Qing looked depressed.

Because Zhu Tuo had been fighting for the past few days and became impatient with riding, he handed over his chariot to Lu Qing.

This car is extremely luxurious, pulled by six horses, and the car body is engraved with a majestic cloud and dragon pattern, which is comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang's car.

These six-headed beasts are all white.

Zhu Tuo is a person who likes to put on airs. He didn't have this qualification before, but after he made his fortune in Lingnan, he tailor-made such a luxurious carriage for himself.

Lu Qing drove the carriage, and the civilians along the way stayed away from this gorgeous carriage. Some of the more courageous people recognized it and shouted "Prince Su" loudly.

Zhu Tuo felt more and more happy as he listened to the crowd's cheers.

At this time, under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Xu Da returned to Lingnan again.

Since the long-term transaction with Zhu Tuo required a large amount of supplies, Xu Da brought some officials.

Before entering the city, Xu Da solemnly said: "I tell you, Lingnan is a very lively place. In addition, if we want to conceal our true identity, we should not say that we are people in the court. Do you understand?"

All the ministers nodded repeatedly.

Xu Da led the crowd towards the city.

Those people stared at the bustling Lingnan City, their eyes widened.

"Why is Lingnan City so busy?" an officer asked in surprise.

"This is the most expensive place in Kyoto?" An official said in amazement when he saw the shops on the roadside.

"Yes, yes!" Another official pointed to a teahouse on the street and said in surprise: "Look, the tea brewed by this waiter is exactly the same as what we sell in Beijing, if I remember correctly , a pound of tea in the capital should cost five taels of silver per pound!"

All the ministers seemed to have discovered a whole new world and were amazed.

When Xu Da saw this, he secretly sighed that these people were young and afraid of everything, and they were not as mature and stable as himself.

Just as Xu Da was about to speak, he was grabbed by an official, with a panicked look on his face: "Mr. Xu, please look, please look!"

Xu Da also looked around and saw that the car driven by Zhu Tuo was very powerful, and pedestrians on the street stayed away from it.

Xu Da said angrily: "Mr. Jiang, you have been an official for more than 20 years, and you are so excited when you see a car?"

"Mr. Xu, look at this horse."

Xu Da took another look and saw that these horses were all white, with four hooves on the ground and tall and tall. They were all high-quality horses.

"Mr. Jiang, you are so excited just after seeing a horse. How will you leave such an important matter in your hands in the future?"

"Mr. Xu!" Mr. Jiang almost burst into tears in his eyes, and said quickly: "His Majesty's carriage only has six riders, and he actually rides six. Mr. Xu, are you going to rebel?"

Xu Da was startled when he heard this.

Damn, there were six of them.

"Who is in this car?"

Hearing this, Zhu Tuo, who was sitting in the car, opened the car curtain and his eyes widened when he saw Xu Da and others: "Haha, so they are from the capital? Lu Qing, why don't you hurry up and take me with you?" People get in the car!”

Xu Da looked at Zhu Tuo, frowned slightly, walked quickly to the carriage, and lowered his voice: "Prince Su, according to the law of Ming Dynasty, the vassal prince only has four horses, but you ride six horses. This is a bit excessive." ”
