Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 248 Zhu Yuanzhang’s preparations
As the entire army was assembled, Zhu Zhen and Xu Miaojin did not show up for a long time.

But don't misunderstand anything. They have actually been dressed neatly for a long time, and this time they are all dressed in white helmets and white armor.

It was because Zhu Xi had never prepared prince-level equipment, so what he wore was just ordinary Ming army armor, which could only be regarded as general level at best.

So it seems that standing with Xu Miaojin is a good match.

But at this time, Zhu Zhen was not in the army, but in the government office.

"Your Highness, isn't your writing a little too sloppy?" Tang Jie grabbed Zhu Chu's arm and refused to let go.

Zhu Yu had received the imperial edict before. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, he was asked to return to Beijing as soon as possible after seeing the imperial edict.

As a result, Zhu Ming, relying on his possession of Shang Fang's sword, actually resisted and disobeyed the order.

That saying is that the imperial edict may be accepted and things may be done.

But now that it was time to set off for the expedition beyond the Great Wall, Zhu Zhen also knew that saying nothing would not do.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Tang Jie to do anything. He could only tell the truth that he was disobeying the order.

Instead of doing this, I might as well write a memorial to my father myself.

But if you look at what Zhu Ming wrote, you will know why Tang Jie didn't let go.

'Dad, there is internal strife on the grassland. My son is going to kill their spirit. When I come back after making great achievements, I will show you a grassland king. '

Is it okay?
Tang Jie is about to collapse. Your Highness, you didn't mention a word about your disobedience, right?
And there is no such thing as a memorial.

You are truly a father and son. Your Majesty issued an imperial edict in vernacular Chinese, so you will issue a memorial in vernacular Chinese?

D.

"Otherwise, what else do I have to say? Old Tang, you are already a grown-up, how can you behave appropriately? Besides, my sister is still watching. She is my wife. Go away." Angry.

The expedition is about to begin, what is this?
"Your Highness, you can't write it like this. How about you polish it a little more?" Tang Jie was about to cry. He was already quite old and had never seen such a thing.

I'm afraid this King of Dian was given the wrong name. Are you the King of Madness?

In the end, even Xu Miaojin couldn't stand it any longer. He pursed his lips and snickered for a while before saying: "Your Highness, it is really inappropriate to write like this. If your letter were to be seen by the civil and military officials in the court, I'm afraid it would become a scandal. Big joke."

"It's just a joke. I don't take those civil servants seriously at all. What I want to do is to expand the territory and make achievements. This battle is likely to completely disintegrate the grassland, and even pacify most of the grassland in one fell swoop. I want to Shut them all up with real achievements," Zhu Ming snorted coldly, and with a tremor all over his body, Tang Jie couldn't help but let go.

Then Zhu Miao looked at Xu Miaojin and said with a smile: "Let's go, sister, accompany my husband to kill him and make the world fall apart."

Xu Miaojin blushed, still with the reserve of a girl, unable to bear his enthusiasm.

However, she still silently followed Zhu Chu as he left the government office gate.

Outside the door, Zhu Zhen's personal guards were already holding horses for the two of them, waiting for them.

Zhu Chu and Xu Miaojin got on their horses, then took the reins and turned their horses' heads, heading towards the city gate in tandem.

Tang Jie then chased him out and stood on the street outside the government office, looking from a distance towards the direction Zhu Zhen left and the troops gathered in front of the city gate in the distance.

Suddenly, Tang Jie clasped his fists with both hands and gave a deep salute, shouting: "May your Royal Highness's military fortune be prosperous."

No matter how Zhu Ming resisted or acted erratically, let alone transgressing, he simply did not take the current Emperor Hongwu seriously.

However, for Ningxia Town, His Highness's move is an unparalleled achievement. Just Zhu Ji's subjugation of the Arutai tribe can ensure that Ningxia Town will never be threatened or threatened by the Arutai tribe in a short period of time. attack.

If it can be stable all the time, even if it is only ten years, it will be a great kindness to the people, instead of asking for a hundred years of stability.

Tang Jie didn't know what the reaction of the court and His Majesty would be, but he only knew that from his own personal standpoint, he supported His Highness, but he didn't dare to support it openly, so he could only hope that Zhu Zhen's martial arts would prosper. One move will determine the outcome.

"I am a subordinate of the King of Dian. Open the city gate," Wang Fu shouted from the front line.

Naturally, the soldiers guarding the city had already received the order and slowly opened the heavy city gate leading to the Saibei grassland.

Immediately afterwards, this army once again embarked on the journey to the Mobei Grassland, and everyone's face vaguely revealed a little expectation in the plainness, but there was no timidity.

At the same time, on the other side, from another city gate, there was also a horse riding quickly towards the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Half a month later, a post cavalry arrived in the capital. Immediately afterwards, news of an explosion spread throughout the government and the public.

The king of Dian, Zhu Zhen, actually led his troops to expedition to the north of Saibei?
"Has he always been this brave?"

In the side hall of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scrawled handwriting left by Zhu Chu. He couldn't say that the handwriting was scrawled. It should be said that Zhu Chu's calligraphy was now very beautiful, with the energy of a blue dragon, and the strokes of his pen revealed An indomitable courage that a military commander should possess.

But those few words Zhu Ming said were too outrageous.

"This bastard actually said he wanted to be the king of the prairie? Did he know how many times I had prepared for the Northern Expedition? Which one didn't involve all the efforts of the country? Even Lan Yu only captured some people and came back, so he could only destroy the current Northern Yuan. It’s just the royal court, his ambition is too big, and he is too ignorant,” Zhu Yuanzhang even laughed in anger at the end.

Even if Zhu Chu says that there is going to be internal strife on the grassland, don't think about it, how many people do you have?
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the only one who can help Zhu Yuanzhang share the burden is Xu Da.

Xu Da smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer, because even with Xu Da's countless achievements, he could not say that he had conquered the grassland. He could only continue his northern expedition. At the beginning, he had fled all the way back to the depths of the grassland with Beiyuan.

But in the end Xu Da could only choose to guard Beiping.

If anything, Xu Da's countless achievements are undoubtedly beyond doubt.

But in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to ask who made the greatest contribution in the war on the grassland, it would have to be Lan Yu.

After all, that guy somehow ended up in the fishing sea. It just so happened that the Beiyuan Royal Court was there at that time, and he was caught by him.

Even Zhu Di's five northern expeditions to Mobei after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor Yongle were actually not as successful as Lan Yu.

As a general, Xu Da's contributions are nationwide and even the world.

But the blue jade is simply like the "Noble Phantasm of Kemobei Royal Court".

But now, Zhu Shiba appeared again. This kid suddenly rushed into the Mobei grassland. Even Xu Da didn't know what to say for a while.

"What do the civil service groups say now? I guess there must be countless people who want to impeach that brat of mine, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the subject, sneered, and looked at the fold on the copywriting on one side.

It was a secret book, sent directly to Datianting by Jinyiwei. It was rushed from Ningxia Town a few days ago.

Zhu Chu returned to Ningxia Town from the grassland this time and stayed there for no more than a week.

That brat, do you really think we don’t know what you want to do?
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, he had known for a long time that Zhu Xi had returned to Ningxia Town from the grassland, and he also knew that the bastard had been disobeying the order from the beginning.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also learned about Zhu Chu's ambitions by the way.

He actually allowed him to conquer a tribe in the grassland?What method does he have to not only easily change the status quo and eliminate countless chieftain families in Yunnan, but also make the natives of Yunnan surrender to him willingly.

If he could pacify those various ethnic groups so easily, why would he continue to implement the chieftain system established by the Yuan Dynasty.

The purpose of using native chieftains to govern native people is to quickly pacify those places and ensure the stability of the country. This is the purpose of the chieftain system.

If you can keep the natives stable without toast, why do you need toast?

Is there really any merit in reforming one's native land and returning to local life?

What about the grassland tribes?If the grassland tribes elect him as their co-lord, good boy, do you really intend to repeat Genghis Khan’s great achievements and become the Lord of the grassland?
With Zhu Yuanzhang's methods, and it was the end of the 26th year of Hongwu, not to mention that Jin Yiwei was all over the world, at least there were Jin Yiwei in most important places.

Moreover, this secret code was not sent by someone else, it was Qian Shu.

That's right, King Qin Zhu Xi also had Lao Zhu's royal guards beside him. Otherwise, how could Zhu Yuanzhang know that Zhu Xi made a dragon bed and a phoenix robe for his concubine Deng.

Someone still tipped off the news.

Even including Zhu Ping's many evil deeds, does Lao Zhu really not know about them all?
There is no impenetrable wall in the world.

However, before the incident became known to the whole world, Lao Zhu was not willing to break his face, and wanted to save some face for Zhu Xiang and Lao Zhu's family.

But this time Zhu Ping went too far and even paid the price with his own life.

Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer turn a deaf ear, so Zhu Yuanzhang personally issued an order to carry out the liquidation. Not only did he reprimand him for "according to public law, the crime cannot be punished", but he also said, "Although you are dead, it is obvious that I am guilty."

At the same time, the posthumous title given to Zhu Xi was "捍", which was not a good word, just like King Lu Huang.

Even Zhu Ping's funeral level was downgraded from a prince to a duke.

On the other hand, the death of Guanyin Nu made Zhu Yuanzhang feel sad. Not only was he given the posthumous title of "Minlie", but he was also buried with Zhu Chong as a princess.

As for Concubine Deng, who cares about a partial concubine who does many evil things.

Zhu Ming had naturally forgotten about his second brother for a long time, but others could not ignore it. Moreover, this was the death of a vassal king and the king of Qin, which was a big deal.

If Zhu Zhen hadn't suddenly made such a fuss, I'm afraid that before the end of the year, Qin King Zhu Zhen would have been the "headline".The first half of the year is blue jade, and the second half is Zhu Xiang.

Who would have expected that Zhu Xun suddenly came out at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had a headache when he thought of this bastard brat.

He could even predict that early tomorrow morning, the Zhezi and ministers who wanted to impeach Zhu would swarm in.

So Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Starting from tomorrow, we will go to court for three days."

He didn't want to be bothered by these things.

Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, knowing why he quit the court, but you were too obviously protective, right?Can't you even let the minister curse a few words?

Who was the last person you protected with such partiality?

I am afraid that even several direct sons of the vassal kings have been reprimanded in person. Even Zhu Ping and his brothers, the third, fourth and fifth, did not dare to contradict Emperor Hongwu during his lifetime.

In fact, Zhu Yu was also scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, even more than once, and was even whipped.

But unlike other brothers, the other brothers at least showed fear in front of him, which is still very face-saving.

Even Zhu Biao was frightened.

This kid is really not afraid.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless and demoted to a commoner?Oh, that's exactly what he wanted.

kill?Of course, he was reluctant to part with it. If Zhu Yuanzhang would attack his sons, Zhu Ping would have died long ago.

What can we do? Now it is his turn, the Hongwu Emperor, who is either an old man or an emperor, to coax Zhu Ming?

When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became so angry that he still had to wipe his butt?

Suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da and saw that he had not spoken for a long time. He couldn't help but said: "Xu Da, do you want to watch the fun? How did I hear that your precious daughter Xu Miaojin went to find that brat?"

Xu Da's eyes twitched, Your Majesty, do you have to hurt each other with me?

But when he heard Xu Miaojin's name, Xu Da could only sigh: "There are no women in college. And these two young people are arguing that one will not marry and the other will not marry. When we get what they want, they argue again We want to be together if we are making a fuss."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

Mainly because these two children are really outrageous.

Although it is outrageous, in the eyes of parents, their children are naturally good at everything. There are also outrageous things about their children, and they are noisy, but that's okay.

just.

"Should Feng Sheng and Fu Youde be back too?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked something inexplicable.

Xu Da was shocked and quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists and felt a little numb in his palms.

He had to sigh secretly, he was really old.

At this age, how many more years can he live?

I originally thought that it would be difficult for the second and third sons to hold big positions, so it would be a good idea not to kill them. Look at what they have done.

Originally, the fourth child was good, but unfortunately he had two older brothers in front of him. If he passed over the second and third children and established the fourth child as the heir apparent, the country would be unstable.

With no choice, Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince as his heir apparent.

This was a helpless move, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would never have asked, "Whether King Yan should be established?"

If everything goes as usual, Zhu Yuanzhang will take advantage of his last few years to start paving the way for Zhu Yunwen at all costs.

First it was Lan Yu, including Feng Sheng and Fu Youde. Zhu Yuanzhang even asked Zhu Zhen face to face whether these people should be killed.

It's not possible without killing, let alone Lan Yu. Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are also related by marriage to Jin Wang Zhu Fan, or they are simply the father-in-law of Zhou Wang Zhu Xi.

If these two legitimate sons disobey Zhu Yunwen and want to rebel, these two princes are also very prestigious in the army, but they are very dangerous.

Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow outsiders to threaten the Zhu family.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked Xu Da: "What do you think if next spring comes, let them help that brat?"

Xu Da raised his head, as if he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to have such a plan.

"It's only fifteen thousand soldiers and horses. That brat thinks the grassland is too simple. At most, he can just go for a small fight. But since he is ambitious and wants to conquer the north, let him have fun. Okay." There was no dullness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but a sparkle.

But even Xu Da did not dare to speculate on Emperor Hongwu's thoughts at this time.

Let Feng Sheng and Fu Youde help the King of Dian?what for?Is it possible that he wants to recruit a team for the King of Dian?

But what should the emperor's grandson do?
Do you really plan to give the King of Dian 50 troops so that he can rebel?
"Xu Da, we are getting old, and we are starting to hesitate." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly revealed some of his true thoughts to the few old brothers in front of him.

"I once asked Mao'er to assist Yunwen. But Yunwen is indecisive and very thoughtful. If Yunwen ascends the throne, I'm afraid he will have to cut down the vassal."

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the Hongwu Emperor. Although he was old, he was not stupid.

Zhu Yuanzhang had figured out all of Zhu Yuan's thoughts in the previous few sentences. He had been tested inside and out. Zhu Yuanzhang's small heart was no different from being transparent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

What's more, it's Zhu Yunwen?

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, why was he suddenly so partial to Zhu Min?It can even be said that Zhu Ming is allowed to do whatever he wants?
The reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Yunwen would cut down the vassal vassal after he came to power and would take action against these uncles.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's apology and compensation for Zhu Ming, but naturally he will not say it clearly.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was very good to his children, but by choosing Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince, he had already acquiesced to Zhu Yunwen's liquidation of his uncles after he came to power.

Zhu Yuanzhang had thought that his sons would suffer a lot in the future, so he kept putting up with Zhu Chu's troubles.

"But Chu'er is different. Although this kid is a bit of a fool, he is really a fool. He dared to ask me for a chair before," Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the chair on his side.

Even the chair Xu Da was sitting on was a stool brought by the eunuch. The chair was always empty because it was the seat that once belonged to Queen Ma.

Only Queen Ma could be on an equal footing with Zhu Yuanzhang when she was alive. Only Queen Ma could call him Zhu Chongba. When Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree, only Queen Ma could dare to dissuade him.

You know how muddy Zhu Chu is, is that what you can sit on?Apart from anything else, you and I are talking about brothers?There is no reason for father and son to be equals.

Xu Da also grinned, having a new impression of Zhu Zhen.

"But that boy is arrogant and has the ability to not take the world seriously. Sometimes I even suspect that he even despises me, the Hongwu Emperor. In his eyes, there seems to be someone we don't know and have never known. The world I’ve seen.”

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang completely put an end to the idea that Zhu Zhen had some sense of superiority as a modern time traveler.

"Xu Da, do you believe that this world may be bigger than we think? The Central Plains only accounts for one-tenth of the entire world, maybe less than that."

"Yunwen sees his vassal uncles as a threat. But he intends to use his brothers as weapons of the country. Yunnan, and even the entire Mobei Grassland, is not only his target, his eyes are on the whole world."

"If we were 30 years younger, I would really like to ride a horse and hold a whip and let him take us brothers to see what he has to offer. What a pity."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, they are all old.

Xu Da kept his head lowered tightly, not daring to say a word, but just listened silently, with inexplicable horror in his heart.

What frightened him was not what Zhu Yuanzhang said, what Zhu Yu had revealed when he felt angry before. What frightened Xu Da was what Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely revealed at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Da and knew the character of this old brother, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, we are just making preparations. After all, those Confucians know that eggs cannot be put in one basket. If the world really It’s so big, it seems it’s not time to set up a guardian king.”

Xu Da had already started to break into a cold sweat.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was still calm and said: "Besides, if he didn't have that idea, he wouldn't be able to marry the daughter of your Xu family, right?"

Since both Fu Youde and Feng Sheng can become threats, how could Zhu Chu marry Xu Da's daughter if he didn't have that intention?

For Zhu Yunqi, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng are threats because Zhu Yunqi does not have a strong enough family to fight against.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that Zhu Yun would never give in and serve Zhu Yunwen, so the meaning of asking him to marry Xu Miaojin before and asking him to marry Xu Miaojin now have completely different meanings. At least Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of beating the mandarin ducks at this time. On the contrary, he was very Be willing to see success.

In this way, once Zhu Xi marries Xu Miaojin, won't the Xu family, including Xu Da, also be a huge threat to Zhu Yunwen?
But at least Fu Youde and Feng Sheng combined could not threaten Zhu Chu no matter what.

Because Xu Da is not dead yet.

(PS: Look, the significance of Xu Da not dying. Why is it said that Xu Miaojin is the real heroine? However, the arrangement of this chapter is actually not very good. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang’s father-son relationship needed to be foreshadowed. The foreshadowing is very important. .

Add more.The readers have urged me, and if I don’t add it, I will lose face.However, I had trouble with my eyesight in the past two days, so I really didn’t have many manuscripts.All I can say is that there are still two chapters left, so I don’t dare to add them.Wait for me to save up. )
