Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 558 Arriving in Peiping, Zhu Di vomited blood
  Loop.

Song Sheng, the commander of the Northwest General Army, accepted the imperial edict and led 30,000 troops to Hetao to assist the vassal king here and maintain peace. While attacking the Tatars, he had to guard Oala.

After a long battle, the Tatars were finally repulsed, and Wala did not dare to make any more moves.

When the Oara people saw that the Tatars were being tortured by the Ming army's weapons, they could only tremble and beg for peace, and they did not dare to have any wrong thoughts.

When the Tatars completely retreated and hid deep in the grassland, the vassal kings near Hetao also retreated. King Dai and King Gu all returned to their fiefdoms to garrison.

Song Sheng was also preparing to lead his troops back to the northwest to frighten the Hu people further west.

Before leaving, he said politely: "General Ping is brave and good at fighting. I admire him very much."

Ping An could only say politely: "When it comes to the ability to lead troops, I am far inferior to General Song, that's all. Without General Song's help, we would not be able to defeat the enemy so easily."

Song Sheng laughed, then changed the subject and asked: "I heard that General Ping is still a member of His Royal Highness the Little Emperor?"

Hearing these words, Ping An raised his eyes slightly.

He looked at Song Sheng with a rather surprised look, as if he was surprised why Song Sheng said this.

But he was guessing that Song Sheng was probably looking for a thigh to hug him. Now, the most solid thigh in Ming Dynasty was none other than Zhu Xuan.

After all, the next emperor is most likely Zhu Xuan.

"I am His Majesty, the one who arranges to assist His Highness the Young Emperor Sun. Why does General Song ask this?"

Ping An asked pretending to be curious.

"I have been guarding the northwest for many years."

Song Sheng touched his beard and found that his beard was already gray, and the wrinkles on his face were getting deeper and deeper. He continued: "It is a great honor to guard the border and defend the Ming Dynasty, but sometimes I also think I went back to Beijing to take a look and calculated the time. Apart from occasionally going back to report on my work, I haven’t really returned to Beijing for a long time. Sometimes I think about changing positions.”

Ping An finally understood.

Guarding the northwest is a hard job.

The northwest region is poor and Song Sheng is not young.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he and his father and brother joined the Red Scarf Army and participated in the anti-Yuan uprising. Both his father and brother died in the battle, and he was the only one left.

As a founding veteran of the People's Republic of China, the other veterans are living more comfortably in the capital and are almost gone.

Song Sheng also wanted to return to Beijing, enjoy his old age, and entertain his grandchildren.

However, the veteran generals are gradually withering away, and it is now difficult for the new generation of generals to replace them. Zhu Yuanzhang has never thought of transferring him back, because this position is a bit important, so he is wondering whether the little emperor grandson can let himself go back to enjoy his old age in the future.

He also wanted to get to know the little emperor grandson.

However, Zhu Xuan will not go to the northwest, and Song Sheng cannot leave the northwest without permission. He wonders if Ping An can help him.

"General Song can report to Your Majesty!"

Ping An said softly: "Your Majesty is a person who misses old feelings."

Song Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "But once I leave, there will be no one to garrison in the northwest for the time being. Your Majesty will not be able to find anyone who can replace me for a while and will not let him go easily."

This is also a problem.

Ping An thought for a while and said: "I will tell His Highness the old general's request first! Your Majesty can't find anyone to replace him, and it will be difficult for Your Highness to recruit the old general."

"Not reluctantly."

Song Sheng laughed and then led his troops to leave the Hetao.

He sent Song Sheng away safely without saying anything else. He guarded the Loop for now, then wrote a letter and sent it to Zhu Xuan, trying to help him as much as possible.

-

Zhu Xuan left Daning and went directly to Peiping.

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived in Peking.

When Zhu Di heard that Zhu Xuan was coming, he looked a little unhappy. He felt that Zhu Xuan must be coming for him, but he could not ignore Zhu Xuan and had to send Zhu Gaochi out to greet him.

Zhu Gaochi is also panicking now.

Although he didn't know what Zhu Di had done specifically, he could tell that Zhu Di must have been very restless recently. If the little cousin comes to settle accounts with his father, he will still be in big trouble.

Even if they don't settle the account, if they mention it casually in front of Grandpa Huang, their whole family will tremble.

When Zhu Gaochi was panicking, Zhu Xuan finally arrived outside Peiping City.

"Cousin Gao Chi."

Zhu Xuan got off the carriage, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and said with a smile: "How dare I trouble you to pick me up?"

Zhu Gaochi's fat face trembled slightly, and he said with an apologetic smile: "This is what I should do. My little cousin is here. How can I, a cousin, do nothing?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Thank you, cousin Gao Chi. Is Fourth Uncle still free now? If so, I would like to visit Fourth Uncle first."

"Of course there is!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi felt that this little cousin might have bad intentions when he came here.

It should be possible to investigate some issues.

Zhu Xuan said: "Please ask cousin Gao Chi to lead the way. This is my first time in Peiping and I don't understand anything."

Zhu Gaochi said politely: "Little cousin, please come to the city!"

They soon entered the city.

Zhu Gaochi took the people to Prince Yan's mansion.

At this time, the palace was no longer as luxurious as it was back then. With all the powers taken back by Lao Zhu, King Yan was now quite lonely.

When Zhu Xuan walked into the palace, he looked around for a while, and then saw Zhu Di coming out.

"I've met Fourth Uncle." Zhu Xuan said.

"Little Yunxuan is at the fourth uncle's house. Where does he need all these red tapes?"

Zhu Di laughed hypocritically and said: "Just be casual, treat it like your own family, no need to be polite."

Zhu Xuan said with an innocent face: "Thank you, fourth uncle, for entertaining your nephew. Then my nephew will disturb fourth uncle."

Under Zhu Di's arrangement, Zhu Xuan sat in the hall.

A servant will be here soon to bring some refreshments.

"Xiao Yunxuan, why did you come to Peiping suddenly? Shouldn't you have gone to Guangzhou?"

Zhu Di pretended not to know anything about war, military affairs, etc.

Zhu Xuan asked: "Does Fourth Uncle still not know about Liaodong Dusi?"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly and said: "After I did something wrong, I have been reflecting at home. I just heard that the Jurchens and Goliaths were very restless. I don't know exactly what happened."

Zhu Xuan briefly talked about the affairs of Liaodong and Korea.

Zhu Di was very afraid when he heard Zhu Xuan talk about the destruction of Goryeo.

This little nephew not only knows how to fight, but also has such powerful weapons. He is indeed his biggest enemy.

The most important thing is that I have nothing now.

He is not even qualified to be an enemy.

"There is one more strange thing."

Zhu Xuan continued: "An unknown force appeared in Dusi, Liaodong. They did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, Tatar, Jurchen and Goryeo, but they burned, killed and looted everywhere in Dusi, Liaodong. They absorbed many tribes to develop and grow, and they were the most powerful. There were more than 50,000 people there.”

That was Zhu Di's private army.

But at this time, Zhu Xuan mentioned the private soldiers who had been almost wiped out, which made Zhu Di feel like killing someone.

Zhu Di felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened, but he had to give Zhu Xuan face, so he had to bite the bullet and continue listening.

At this moment, I have the desire to kill.
