Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 116 Zhu Yuanzhang: The fourth child is Emperor Yongle?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt complicated.

Of course, he most hopes that Fourth Master Zhu can recover his memory, and everything will fall into place. Otherwise, it would be impossible to forcefully recognize his father. Besides, he is the emperor now, so how can he casually recognize the emperor as his father?

"Hey, you are all here." Chang Yuchun opened the door and walked in.

He was still holding wine and a gift box in his hand. He put it on the table and said, "I will go on an expedition in three days. Come and say goodbye to Fourth Master."

Fourth Master Zhu could not stop Chang Yuchun from going on the expedition, but he was still extremely worried and wanted to take this opportunity to remind Chang Yuchun.

"Then have a nice drink today." He smiled.

The three of them sat down around the table and started drinking slowly.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned slightly: "It's just after the Lantern Festival, why are you in such a hurry to go to war?"

Chang Yuchun drank a glass of wine and spread his hands: "Isn't it that the enemy won't let us rest? The main force of our army is currently in Guanzhong, clearing out the remaining enemies of the Yuan army over there. Humph, the Prime Minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also quickly seized this opportunity, from Shangdu Send troops as far as Beiping Mansion."

It turned out to be the case.

Previously, Emperor Beiyuan fled to Xanadu with his family, but the main force was still there. They want to take back Dadu.

"Hmph, doesn't Emperor Beiyuan like to move?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Let him move again this time, to the desert."

"Come on, one bite won't make you fat." Zhu Siye said, "Although Bei Yuan withdrew from the Central Plains, it still has strong strength. The purpose of this Northern Expedition is to eliminate the remaining forces of the Bei Yuan in the Central Plains and completely stabilize the Ming Dynasty. Unite."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun were secretly frightened.

Because this was the purpose of their Northern Expedition, Fourth Master Zhu had guessed it.

"Old Chang, you are bound to win this expedition." Fourth Master Zhu reached into the wine bowl and wet his fingers.

Then, he moved on the table and said:

"This is Beiping Mansion. Yesu looks menacing, but as soon as our reinforcements arrive, he will definitely flee north. The strength of the Ming army has surpassed that of Bei Yuan. This is an indisputable fact. We understand it, and they also know it."

"Old Chang, don't let them go this time. Run thousands of miles and go straight to Xanadu. If my guess is correct, Emperor Beiyuan will move again and escape to... this location, Yingchang Mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned while listening: "Yingchang Mansion is closer to Beiping Mansion. It's at most three days' journey by horse. They won't come here, right?"

"Hachiro, if you don't believe it, we can make a bet."

Fourth Master Zhu picked up his wine glass and took a sip, and continued, "Bei Yuan's strength is still there, and he will be fighting back and forth with Ming Dynasty next. This cannot be solved in one Northern Expedition."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun nodded in agreement.

"Fourth Master, I didn't expect you to know how to fight." Chang Yuchun said.

"More than that, I know astronomy from above and geography from below. I know eight hundred years in the past and five hundred years in the future." Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile.

Of course he doesn't know how to fight, but he just read "History of the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life and remembered this paragraph.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was unconvinced after hearing this: "Fourth Master, look at your boast, when do you know when you can completely defeat Bei Yuan?"

Fourth Master Zhu drank another drink, his face turned red and he was already a little dizzy. He thought for a moment and said:

"If we want to completely defeat Bei Yuan, it will take more than twenty years. We still have to leave it to the younger generation of Lan Yu to finish it off."

"However, the demise of Beiyuan will depend on the next generation of kings, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di. In terms of fighting, he is more fierce than his father Zhu Yuanzhang. He conquered Mobei seven times, sealed the wolf in Xu, and even the pretty boys on the grassland became anxious. .”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, his eyes bulging: "How could it be the old man... Why is the next king Zhu Di? Isn't the prince Zhu Biao?"

Fourth Master Zhu is inscrutable: "You will know when the time comes."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked unwillingly: "How did you know?"

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands: "I guessed it."

"He is drunk and talking drunkenly." Chang Yuchun smiled, "How can anyone really know eight hundred years in the past and five hundred years in the future? Even a military advisor would not dare to brag like that. Fourth Master, you are better at deceiving than a military advisor. "

"Liu Bowen? He's just a Qiu." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

He also thought that Fourth Master Zhu was drunk and talking nonsense.

"Come on, let's drink." Chang Yuchun said.

The three of them continued drinking and skipped this topic, but this passage remained in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Fourth Master Zhu did not notice Zhu Yuanzhang's strangeness, but said to Chang Yuchun seriously: "Old Chang, you must remember the armor-removing style I told you last time, and you can't be careless."

Chang Yuchun smiled loudly: "Fourth Master, just put your heart in your pelvis and I will remember it."

Fourth Master Zhu raised his forehead and said, "Who did you learn this from?"

Chang Yuchun spread his hands and laughed: "Your apprentice."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace and went straight to the East Palace.

Sure enough, the second, third, and fourth children are all here, practicing martial arts with their eldest brother.

"See you, Father." The four brothers bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Zhu Di with a cold face, waved his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "How about you, the Emperor Yongle? How about seven expeditions to Mobei? Confessing the wolf to Xu?"

Zhu Di: "???"

Father, are you greedy for cheap again and drink fake wine? What nonsense are you talking about?

Emperor Yongle? Seven expeditions to Mobei? Seal the wolf to live in Xu?

It sounds good and impressive.

"Father, why do you just hit the fourth child so casually?" Zhu Biao couldn't stand it anymore.

"We think this guy is rebellious." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di.

"Father, what are you talking about? I am loyal to you and the prince." Zhu Di said with an aggrieved face, "You drank fake wine, don't go crazy with me."

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and slapped him again.

Zhu Di became even more depressed, with a slumped face and clenched fists.

Who did I offend? Today I am here with the eldest brother, the prince, and I haven’t gone anywhere. "Look at how stubborn he is." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Di and glared, "He hasn't rebelled yet? He will definitely confront his father and elder brother when he grows up."

"Father, please stop talking nonsense." Zhu Biao was speechless.

"That's right, if you want to say that the fourth child is incapable of doing anything and is the first to get into trouble, I believe it." Zhu Fan said on the side, "If you say that he will betray my father and eldest brother, I will be the first one not to believe it."

"Yes, Father, you go somewhere else and get drunk and go crazy." Zhu Ping agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily.

However, he felt happy when he saw his four sons living in such harmony.

"Okay, I'll let him go." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao, "As the eldest brother, you have to control your younger brothers, you know? Whether they will be successful in the future depends on how you train them."

"Yes!" Zhu Biao nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang left with satisfaction.

In his heart, he didn't believe that Zhu Di would betray his father and brother, he just wanted to hurt him.

……

Xuanwu Academy.

Fourth Master Zhu looked forward to the stars and the moon, but he still didn’t look forward to the arrival of new students.

Zheng Shiyuan comforted him from the side: "Dean, isn't it just the Lantern Festival? Even if they leave now to come to the capital, won't it still take more than ten days?"

"That's right, there are no high-speed trains or airplanes these days."

Fourth Master Zhu pinched his eyebrows, turned to Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike and asked, "Are you sure any of your fellow villagers have agreed to come to the academy?"

"Okay, I've received the letter." The two of them nodded affirmatively.

"Dean, don't be anxious." Luo Guanzhong said, "When the time comes for students from other places to come to Beijing to take the exams, the academy only needs to put up a sign that provides free board and lodging to ensure that many people join."

Fourth Master Zhu sighed.

He felt that there seemed to be signs of a breakthrough recently, so he was anxious to get more students into the academy and then use their strength to break through to the divine palace realm.

"That's right, there's no rush. Let's go back and have a good sleep." He waved.

Luo Guanzhong, Zheng Shiyuan, Han Yike: "???"

The dean is indeed unreliable.

It's okay to talk nonsense at ordinary times, but if you get impatient, it will be completely ruined.

If we leave the academy to him, we will get yellow sooner or later. We have to rely on ourselves, Dean, as long as you don't cause trouble.

"Chilly, go back to the small courtyard." Luo Guanzhong also greeted.

The four of them returned to the small courtyard of the school.

Luo Guanzhong continued to write his novels, and Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike continued to read.

Fourth Master Zhu was lying on a chair with his eyes closed, and the book of luck in his mind continued to shine.

He always felt like there was something missing.

Currently, we are in the 'Yunling' realm, which means we need to cultivate our moral integrity and temper our literary courage.

I have already cultivated my moral character and nourished my energy, but I have not yet refined my literary courage. I need to become courageous and be convincing in what I say.

How to temper your literary courage?
Write a letter to the emperor and scold him?
Zhu Yuanzhang once decreed that even civilians could write directly to the emperor.

……

He was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, I heard bursts of footsteps, accompanied by noise.

"I didn't expect this academy to be so big."

"Yes, the environment is not bad. It's a pity that it was opened by a reckless man."

"Hmph, it's useless. Not even a student has seen it. A reckless man opening an academy is a joke after all."

The person who spoke was Qi De, Lu Ben’s proud disciple.

Their Qi family is in Yingtian City, which is also a wealthy family. Most of the people who came with him today are children of Yingtian City family.

"Everyone, are you here to study?" Fourth Master Zhu walked out.

Luo Guanzhong, Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike all followed him.

Qi De was a little scared when he saw Fourth Master Zhu, but he calmed down and said with his fists in his hands: "Fourth Master, I heard that you have established an academy here. My master, Mr. Song Liansong and others are going to hold a debate. , I invite your Xuanwu Academy to participate, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare!" Han Yike stepped out.

Although Qi De is young, he already has the style of everyone. He looked at Fourth Master Zhu with bright eyes and smiled slightly: "I think Xuanwu Academy is quiet enough. Why don't I go back and tell the master that the debate will be held here."

Fourth Master Zhu secretly laughed in his heart, you are coming to show off your power.

However, according to my wishes, all the students from Yingtian City will come by then. On the one hand, I can promote Xuanwu Academy, and on the other hand, your debate will help me practice.

"Yes!" He spread his hands, "You go back and choose a time."

"Thank you, Fourth Master, for your support." Qi De clasped his fists, "Then we'll say goodbye."

He turned around and walked away slowly with the children of the aristocratic families.

Fourth Master Zhu turned to look at Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yikewen: "Can you argue?"

Han Yike was eager to give it a try: "Dean, just take a look."

Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead.

He remembered that "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded that Han Yike was a very talkative person, and he only criticized Zhu Yuanzhang three times.
