Chapter 245 Zhu Yuanzhang’s imperial edict arrives

After confirming his relationship with Xu Miaojin, Zhu Zhen did not hide his secrets and directly revealed his ambitions.

In fact, Muqiu as far away as Yunnan and those who surrendered their allegiance have long known about it.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was fully aware of his ambition.

It's impossible to just hide it from Xu Miaojin, right?

Moreover, Zhu Ming admitted that he was anxious. After deciding to accept Xu Miaojin's affectionate confession, it was no longer possible for this relationship to go wrong.

He also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not let him rebel easily, and there was no guarantee that he would not make a fuss about Xu Miaojin's marriage.

What a pity, what a pity, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, we have already cooked the rice, what can you do?

Call him a bastard?So what if he is confused?

The most sorry people here are probably Xu Miaojin and Mu Qiu.

Xu Miaojin, the daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da, could be said to be a proud daughter of heaven and noble birth, but she was eaten up and wiped clean by Zhu Chu before the wedding night with candles in the bridal chamber.

What a delicate little cabbage, but it was humiliated by a pig.

If Xu Da knew that you were bullying his beloved daughter like this, he might really beat Zhu Ming to death.

Of course, how could my father-in-law know about such a thing?

"Then what should I, the Xu family, do for you?" Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Miao, and after being shocked by his earth-shattering ambition, he began to think about it.

If Zhu Zhen really wants to rebel, what role will the Xu family play?
"Don't do anything." Unexpectedly, Zhu Miao tapped Xu Miaojin's forehead with his hand and said, "I have never had any ideas about the Xu family, and I have never planned to form a party with other nobles for personal gain. If you want to rebel, that is It is my own business, and it is also the internal conflict of my old Zhu family. How can I involve the country?"

"The reason why I endured it and had to play with my father carefully is because I don't want to shake the country because of this little thing about our old Zhu family. After all, the surrounding areas are surrounded by wolves. If there is internal chaos, foreigners will take advantage of it. It’s cheap, thank you. It’s just like the internal strife among the tribes in the grasslands today.”

"If I hadn't considered these things, I would have shouted Jingnan slogans and rushed to the capital in Yunnan instead of sending myself as a hostage."

Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes, you said it simply.

Nowadays, this is a feudal society where everyone is a family, and the royal family is the country. Do you really think this is a joke between you and your father?

Anyway, she felt that Zhu Xi thought of things too simply. He wanted to rebel, not go out to buy dinner.

"Don't worry, sister, I won't involve your Xu family. What I want from the Xu family is only you now. So you should continue to do what you should do in the past, and you should not even tell me about me. Uncle Xu and your brothers are the pillars of the country. Anyway, they can help whoever becomes the emperor in the end. They should serve the country, not me, Zhu Zhen, or Zhu Yunwen," Zhu Zhen said with relief.

Zhu Ming knew that Leng Buding had let Xu Miaojin know so much. An ordinary girl would have been so frightened that her face would turn pale, and her brain would even shut down.

Even Xu Miaojin was confused at this time and didn't know what to think.

"I'm not telling you all this to make you worry blindly, because I have absolute confidence and what I have to do," Zhu Zhen's thoughts began to drift away. He remembered that in the late Ming Dynasty, people all over the world were displaced and their families were destroyed. , and due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, there were countless casualties.

Even if it hasn’t reached the point where the people in the world are destitute, what will happen if the Qing army enters the pass?
Throughout the more than 200 years since the Qing Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, it is said that more than 5000 million Han people were brutally persecuted.

On the tenth day of Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading, the massacre in Jiangyin, the massacre in Nanchang, the massacre in Guangzhou, and so on.

There were also many consecutive prison sentences caused by literary inquisition.

Even after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was implemented the policy of keeping hair but not leaving hair.

The backbone of the Han family was cut off. From this time on, the Han family no longer had any bloody blood, but became slaves of the Qing Dynasty.

Also starting from the Qing Dynasty, servility was imposed on everyone.

Zhu Ming wanted to ask those civil servants and Confucian scholars before, when they faced foreigners, have they ever seen your bloody nature?Have I ever seen your so-called dignity?

"In this life, I will never let my Han family be bullied by foreigners again. If any ethnic group in Yunnan dares to rebel, I will kill them all. If there is a threat to the grassland, then I will be the king of the grassland. Qing soldiers? The Jurchens must also be killed. Also. There was Korea, and then we sent troops overseas to occupy the Japanese islands and wipe out all the Japanese pirates."

"And that's not all. The old Maozi today is not the Davari clan in the future. The sun never sets on the empire? I wonder if you will."

Zhu Zhen secretly thought that there were too many things he had to do.

At the beginning, he planned to use Yunnan as his base and then push towards Southeast Asia. He had no intention of competing for the throne. He even described the Central Plains as one-third of an acre.

But later Zhu Chu discovered that if he was not emperor, the Ming court behind him would become a constraint for him.

For example, whatever he does, he must first consider the matter of transgression. He was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang before.

I'm afraid that no matter what he does in the future, he must first consider whether the imperial court will send troops to stab him in the back.

Furthermore, Zhu Min's huge ambition cannot be supported by Yunnan alone. He lacks people, lacks generals and troops who sincerely follow him to conquer the world, and lacks civil servants who are sincerely willing to assist him in governing the world, and even the world. The support of all people.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang could move millions of Central Plains people to pacify Yunnan. This was his confidence.

What if the entire Ming Dynasty becomes Zhu Zhen's backing?He can even directly develop in an all-round way, and even start fighting on several fronts at the same time.

Therefore, he decided to become the emperor, whether it was to realize the great ideal in his heart that could not be explained to outsiders and that absolutely no one in this era could understand.

Or to protect myself so that I don't have to worry about anything.

"My destiny is up to me, not God," Zhu Zhen thought to himself. After all, he has a modern mindset. How could he be willing to accept his fate, and how could he leave his wealth and life to the control of others.

Apart from anything else, even if he and Xu Miaojin were already like this, if Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on marrying her to someone else, Xu Miaojin would have nothing to do, otherwise the entire Xu family would have to be executed.

Only when Zhu Ming becomes the emperor himself, can he truly control his own destiny and complete those great achievements that ordinary people (emperors) may not be able to complete even half of in their lifetime, right?
"So sister, we can't leave the border yet. Now is our God-given opportunity, not only for me, but also for the Central Plains, for the country and the people. The grassland is going to be in chaos, and we can just take advantage of this opportunity to make immortal contributions. At the same time, the power of the grasslands will be reduced, making them unable and unable to threaten the border for at least ten years."

"Next, I will exchange the livestock I have brought back now for a large amount of grain and grass, and then I will go deep into the grassland again. Do you want to come with me? Or go home first and wait for me to return after victory," Zhu Zhen did not take care of everything. Instead of making up her mind for Xu Miaojin, she gave her the choice.

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming and asked quietly: "Do you think I, Xu Miaojin, am afraid of death? I have chased you here, and now that I have given you everything, you still want to drive me away?"

"No," Zhu Xi quickly explained: "Aren't I afraid that the grassland environment will be bad? Winter is coming soon, but I can't help Bi Yingtian."

Yingtian is Nanjing. It has not yet ushered in the Little Ice Age in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. You can imagine how big the temperature difference between the two places is.

"As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of death. Not to mention that my father killed a lot of Mongolian Tatars back then. Now I want them to see the Xu family's marksmanship again," Xu Miaojin said with some pride.

Zhu Ming smiled and joked: "Yes, it reminds them of the fear of being dominated by the Xu family's marksmanship."

It's a pity that Xu Miaojin didn't know this story, which made Zhu Zhen a little disappointed.

However, Xu Miaojin also made her own statement, and she was finally with Zhu Zhen, and she would never be separated easily again.

Besides, it's just going to the battlefield, which is exactly what she wants.

Then the young couple started whispering again, and Zhu Zhen also passed on the Qi Lian Jue and the skills about dual cultivation in the Huangdi Neijing to Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin had never had the time to listen to him teach him skills before, and she was immediately shocked.

Unexpectedly, there is actually a method of cultivation in the world?
"It's just that this journey of cultivation is not easy. It requires a lot of time to practice quietly before you have a chance to achieve positive results. Even now, I am only in the first stage of the Qi refining period. And there are three stages in the Qi refining period alone."

"But as long as we practice more and more, sister, you can catch up quickly with my help," Zhu Zhen said before kissing Xu Miaojin's little face.

Xu Miaojin's pretty face turned red and she rolled her eyes at him, muttering: "That's so bad. You didn't dare to do this before."

Zhu Ming had been very distant from her before, sometimes staying away from her, and sometimes calling the girl to come closer.

Now it's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be peeled off.

Zhu Zhen smiled proudly. This was his wife at this time. Could it be the same as before?Before, she was just a girl from the Xu family, but now she is her own girl.

At the same time, Zhu Miao also warned Xu Miaojin that this was the secret of their family of three (referring to one husband and two wives), and it was best not to tell even the Xu family.

Zhu Chu was afraid of accidentally turning a good historical world into a fantasy world.Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, they heard a voice from far outside the house: "Your Highness? Miss Xu, aren't you hungry? I'm going to starve to death. And the roast lamb has been delivered below, but It’s already cold, do you want someone to warm it up?”

It was Wang Fu's voice. He was still guarding the courtyard door loyally and did not dare to go in. Even the roasted whole lamb that was delivered was put aside, but he did not touch a piece of meat.

He looked pitifully at the empty yard. Even the moon was about to set. Hey, it's almost dawn. My lord, are you too strong?

Wang Fu even felt that with His Highness's ability, it would be easy for him to control ten women every day?

But aren't you hungry?I'm so hungry.

How about you guys fight first while I cut a leg of lamb and eat it?

The two people in the room looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.

Just smiling, Xu Miaojin couldn't help complaining: "Really, how can I meet people."

"It doesn't matter. We are all our own people and we don't dare to gossip." Although Zhu Min was usually approachable, even his subordinates dared to joke with him.

But some jokes can be made, and some jokes cannot be made. Naturally, Zhu Zhen does not need to teach these things one by one.

Therefore, no one has ever dared to make irresponsible remarks about Mu Qiu. On the contrary, it is true that she has more respect. She is regarded as the mistress, but she is still called Miss Mu.

"Wang Fu, let someone set up a fire in the yard to heat up the roasted whole lamb. My sister must be hungry too," Zhu Xi shouted outside.

Wang Fu immediately got excited and prepared. He was about to cry with joy. God knows he had been watching for most of the night, and he didn't trust others, so he could only watch by himself, how boring it would be.

Not long after, Zhu Xi opened the door and walked out with one hand on Xu Miaojin's lower back.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head tightly, not even daring to look at Wang Fu.

Because of Zhu Chu's relationship, Xu Miaojin also knew who Wang Fu was, but was not familiar with him before.

At this time, I was secretly worried, fearing that I would be laughed at.

But there was nothing she could do about it. She was a young woman who was a married woman for the first time, and Zhu Miao's physical strength was like that of a monster, seemingly endless. At this time, Xu Miaojin suffered a lot.

So she could only ask for help from Zhu Zhen, and she could barely walk a few steps. Even so, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she felt like her waist was about to break, and her legs couldn't help but feel weak.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has never been so delicate and weak.

They are all Zhu Li.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but roll her eyes at the bad guy next to her, but she couldn't help but think back. She remembered that when her eldest sister returned home after getting married, she said that women had the advantage in this matter. Aren't men generally so tired that they couldn't stand up straight the next day?
Why is her experience completely different?

Zhu Miao was taking very good care of Xu Miaojin at this time, and asked Wang Fu to find some leather jackets given by Alutai when he came back from the grassland, and then put them on a chair for Xu Miaojin to cushion her, making her sit up softly. It's so warm that it won't cause suffering again.

And these fur coats are all made of fine fur, even mink.

Even on the grasslands, those who could afford to wear mink coats had to be nobles.

Especially when some minks change their fur in winter, some of them still have snow-white fur. If many minks are caught at this time and made into white mink coats, the value will be even higher.

Even Shen Rong had planned to exchange some of it back to the Central Plains so that he could sell it at a higher price. However, Arutai's previous plan was to donate the money to the former owner Guilichi, and now it is dedicated to Zhu Chu.

Zhu Miao asked Xu Miaojin to sit down on the chair, and he himself got busy with Wang Fu.

In fact, it is already late at night, and this meal should be an evening meal.

Then they set up a bonfire with firewood in the yard, and then put the whole roasted lamb on a rack to the side. The already cooked lamb was heated by the temperature of the fire, and then it was ready to eat.

Xu Miaojin had been hungry for a long time. After all, she had just done some physical work. When Zhu Xi personally opened a plate of meat for her, it was roasted lamb that was cut from the lamb legs and lamb chops and spine respectively. It was both fat and thin. .

Xu Miaojin's index finger suddenly moved. He quickly held the plate with one hand and took the knife from Zhu Chu with the other hand. He used the knife instead of chopsticks and started eating.

Although there are not so many rich barbecue seasonings now, just crush salt and sprinkle it evenly on the meat as a seasoning.

But this way it has a more unique style, and the mutton is delicious, so what you eat is the original taste.

After all, good ingredients only require the most primitive and simple cooking methods.

Xu Miaojin also fed Zhu Xi a mouthful, which made Wang Fu beside him couldn't help but wonder, who is he and where is he?

I used to be Miss Mu when I was in Yunnan, but now I have gone to the border gate of Saibei. And this Miss Xu, together, will I have no choice but to be raped as a dog?

There was no way, under the pressure of Zhu Zhen and Xu Miaojin to torture the dog, Wang Fu could finally have a full meal.

Zhu Chu also asked him to bring some special leather bags filled with kumiss. The two of them carried a hundred guards and fifteen thousand brothers stationed elsewhere on their backs, and drank to the moon in the yard.

What Zhu Chu didn't expect was that Xu Miaojin was not only a greedy little cat, but also had a good drinking capacity.

Of course women could drink in ancient times, especially in the Tang Dynasty when it was most prosperous. There were also many wine shops selling wine specifically for women.

Even in the Song Dynasty and even today in the Ming Dynasty, it was still nothing. No one would address the problem of women drinking alone and specifically.

It's just that girls need to be of hair age to drink. Xu Miaojin happens to be of hair age, so she has been involved in it since this year.

Xu Da doesn't care. It's better to say that when he encounters any festivals or events worthy of celebration, he will take the initiative to invite his children to have a few drinks with him.

After the three of them had finished drinking and eating, Zhu Xi directly acted as the shopkeeper, picked up the slightly tipsy Xu Miaojin and returned to the house.

Wang Fu sighed silently. He was a dignified commander, but in the end, he had been doing the job of being Zhu Chu's mother-in-law.

He's just a nanny, right?
But there was nothing he could do. Even if the sky began to turn white, he could only clean up the yard first, and then wait until the other brothers got up before changing shifts. Finally, it was his turn to take a rest.

The next day, Zhu Chu and Xu Miaojin slept until daylight before getting up. It was almost afternoon.

Because they knew that Zhu Chu had gained a lot from this expedition outside the Great Wall, no one came to disturb them today, allowing Zhu Chu to accompany Xu Miaojin leisurely in the backyard of the government office.

Xu Miaojin was very well-behaved today. She couldn't help it, not even if she wasn't well-behaved. It was really difficult for her to even take steps.

She never expected that she would suffer like this afterwards. I'm afraid it would take at least three days to recover, right?
In order to compensate Xu Miaojin, Zhu Zhu took the initiative to tell her a story, which was still based on the previous martial arts novels and was also the style of chivalry and justice that Xu Miaojin liked.

During this period, Zhu Zhen had of course helped Xu Miaojin try his first practice. It was a pity that he had not been able to seize the opportunity of dual practice before, so Xu Miaojin's first practice was not smooth. He only vaguely felt the so-called Qi, but It can't even be refined into true energy.

This is because Xu Miaojin has been working hard all the way before. Even if it is not said to be a loss of blood, it is still physically and mentally exhausted.

As a result, he was 'cooked' by Zhu Zhen again.

She really needed to get some rest.

Then, a few days of leisure time passed like this.

It wasn't until Xu Miaojin finally fully recovered and was ready for the next fierce battle that Zhu Chu finally agreed to appear in the lobby of the front courtyard.

"Hey, Your Highness, you finally have a good rest." Tang Jie came over anxiously. As soon as he saw Zhu Chu, he took out an imperial edict and said, "The imperial edict came three days ago. Please accept it, Your Highness." .”

How can you ask others to take orders?

But Zhu Zhen is indeed qualified.

Zhu Ming frowned, and in the end he could only reluctantly lift his robe and kneel down.

Then Tang Jie unfolded the imperial edict and read out: "By God's will, the emperor decreed. Zhu Ming, you are really a bastard. We asked you to go to Xi'an to work. Why did you go to the border? Or even went outside the customs? What if? If something happens to you, do you want us, the white-haired person, to send the black-haired person away? This is unfilial, so get out of here."
