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

Chapter 253 Zhu Yuanzhang: Only the love between father and son, review step by step
The mountain behind the academy.

Fourth Master Zhu was sitting cross-legged on the boulder in front of the attic, with his eyes closed tightly, and he was working hard with his long silver hair flying in the wind. The surrounding void seemed to be drawn by his breath, and the wind and clouds surged. In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky was filled with dark clouds.

Suddenly, there was a deafening thunderbolt in the sky.

Boo!

A thick bolt of lightning pierced the sky and struck hard above the back mountain, trying to tear apart everything in the world. Immediately afterwards, electric snakes danced wildly in the air, black clouds were like mountains, and the sky in the capital suddenly fell into darkness.

In the Wenhua Hall of the imperial palace, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly ran out of the hall, followed closely by Mr. Li, his face full of worry. They looked up at the overwhelming black clouds, hearing the roar of thunder and lightning.

"There is a vision in the sky, and there is fear that a catastrophe is coming!" Mr. Li's face was pale, and there was deep worry in his voice.

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this vision... is probably a sign of divine punishment, and the Ming Dynasty may be facing a catastrophe." Mr. Li's voice contained a tremor that could not be concealed.

Another earth-shattering thunder sounded, and the entire capital trembled at this moment. In the back hill of the academy, Fourth Master Zhu secretly complained in his heart and couldn't help but curse. I just wanted to break through the realm, why did I make such a big fuss. Could it be a catastrophe? I'm going to be struck by lightning? That's a fantasy novel.

He used all his strength to hit the realm of destiny. Haoran's righteous energy filled his body, constantly washing his body, and the thunder and lightning above his head became stronger and stronger. He was numb. If he was struck by lightning, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

The next moment, he broke through!

Correcting his body to await destiny, he broke through to the realm of destiny. This is the highest level that can be broken through by relying on one's own luck. To go higher, it requires the blessing of the court's luck.

……

The dark clouds receded quickly like the tide, and the blue sky was washed, and the tranquil blue sky reappeared.

Fourth Master Zhu had a look of astonishment on his face and murmured to himself, could it be that the earth-shattering vision of heaven and earth just now was really caused by my breaking through the realm? Then if we break through next time, wouldn't it lead to an even more terrifying thunder disaster?

"Dad, what are you fussing over?" A familiar voice broke his thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mr. Li landed in front of him lightly, their faces full of tension and concern. Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands helplessly towards them: "This has nothing to do with me, I just practice Kung Fu."

"The Supreme Emperor!" Mr. Li said with worry on his face, "The Ming Dynasty has the strongest luck in history. Four people in the Zhu family's royal family have luck that surpasses the ancient emperors. This is both a blessing and a hidden worry."

"Speak humanly!" Fourth Master Zhu glared impatiently.

"Your Majesty's luck is naturally extremely strong, but the prince's luck is even better. This is something unusual." Mr. Li explained with a wry smile, "And you, the Supreme Emperor, who has returned from the grassland, have even better luck. Above the crown prince. I thought this was the ultimate and nothing more abnormal would happen. But when I saw King Yan who had returned from southern Xinjiang, I felt that what I had learned was no longer enough. The luck in your body is as good as that of the Supreme Emperor."

"Uh...I understand what you mean. The greatest prosperity will inevitably lead to decline. Our Zhu family is too prosperous now." Fourth Master Zhu looked strange, "Didn't we get back the Jade Seal of the Kingdom? It can carry part of the vigorous energy of the Ming Dynasty." Good luck."

"Then we can only wait a little longer!" Mr. Li sighed speechlessly, "You guys are so lucky, two more national jade seals are not enough."

"What should we do?" Fourth Master Zhu was also worried, but such ethereal things as luck were his blind spot in knowledge.

"Now that there is a strange phenomenon happening today, the Ming Dynasty may be in disaster." Mr. Li was worried.

"Old man, are you unfounded?" Mr. Zhu waved his hand.

……

At this moment, Li Wenzhong, the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion, ran hurriedly down the mountain, out of breath, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, something big has happened! A total of 500,000 troops from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Jinzhang Royal Court, and Chagatai raided Jizhou, and Jizhou defender Gu Cheng died in the battle. The 500,000-year-old coalition army from the grassland moved with lightning speed. Attack Yingchang City."

"The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, personally led the army to rescue. On the way, he was ambushed by Wang Baobao. The Duke of Wei was attacked by a master and was seriously injured. However, he insisted on commanding, broke out of the siege, and brought the army back to Peiping."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he asked eagerly: "How is Tiande's injury?"

Li Wenzhong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "There is no latest news yet. I am also very worried about Wei Guogong's situation and has sent people to Peking with medicines."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Fourth Master Zhu looked at each other, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts. Is this the catastrophe that Mr. Li just predicted? It came so quickly! The three-party alliance of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Golden Horde Khanate, and the Chagatai Khanate was undoubtedly what they were most worried about, and now, it has finally happened.

"I must lead the reinforcements to Peiping immediately." Zhu Yuanzhang said resolutely.

"No, you can't go." Fourth Master Zhu frowned, "With half a million troops pressing down on the border, the government and the public will definitely fall into chaos. At this time, you must stay in the capital and stabilize the overall situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Wenzhong also agreed, "Moreover, the situation may be worse than we imagined. I am worried that the northwest region and the newly pacified Yunnan will take the opportunity to cause chaos. If so, Ming Dynasty will really be besieged on all sides. So, Your Majesty, you must stay in the capital."

"Then let me go to Peking." Fourth Master Zhu said in a deep voice, "Aren't there experts there? It's most suitable for me to go. I'm familiar with that place and we are all old rivals."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement, "Father, you will sit in Beiping and preside over the overall situation of Northern Xinjiang. I will issue an imperial edict. In the Northern Xinjiang region, the Emperor's edict is equivalent to our imperial edict." Fourth Master Zhu nodded slowly.

……

Mr. Li beside him hesitated to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand speechlessly: "Mr. Li, if you have something to say, just say it. After all these years, you still don't know our temper? The most annoying thing is that we don't say anything."

"Your Majesty, the so-called king does not see the king!" Mr. Li bowed, "I suggest that the Supreme Emperor take King Yan to Peiping to take charge of Northern Xinjiang, while you and the Crown Prince stay in the capital. In this way, the disaster of the Zhu family may be alleviated."

"What the hell, two Ming Dynasties?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "You want our Zhu family to split? We can't see our father anymore?"

"They are divided into two places, one in the south and one in the north. It's not that we never see them, but we don't see them often." Mr. Li said with a bitter smile.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with this suggestion, "Our Zhu family just wants to be reunited and neatly together."

After hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu couldn't help showing an embarrassed smile: "Okay, okay, let's do what Mr. Li said first. I will take Zhu Di to Northern Xinjiang, don't you also plan to make him King Yan and let him garrison it? Peiping? Chongba, let’s see if our northern Xinjiang is better governed or your capital is better.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "After repelling the coalition forces, we will arrange for the army to move north."

He took Mr. Li and Li Wenzhong in a hurry. Fourth Master Zhu returned to the attic and saw Wenger making tea. The tea was fragrant. He walked over and sat down and sighed: "I'm going to Northern Xinjiang. Will you come with me or stay in the capital?"

Wen'er frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Our daughter is still young, so I will stay with her in the capital first. Besides, the queen also hopes that I can help her. She is busy now, not only with the harem, but also with the Daming Textile Factory. "

"Okay, you can come anytime you want." Fourth Master Zhu nodded.

"Remind you, don't let Zhao Xuanzhen scheme against you this time." Huner rolled her eyes.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled and nodded. He really wanted to meet Zhao Xuanzhen and his son, whom he had never met.

……

Inside the Beggar Clan headquarters.

Fourth Master Zhu urgently summoned Shen Wansan. He assigned Shen Wansan the task of leading part of the Ming Trading Company's fleet northward, and emphasized the need to bring sufficient silver. Zhu Siye expected that he would be stationed in Peiping for several years, during which he would continue to direct the operations of the Ming Trading Company and the Shipping Department.

"Now that the Japanese pirates at sea have been cleared, please notify Zhang Dingbian and ask him to come back." Fourth Master Zhu solemnly instructed, "He needs to personally lead the team to America."

"Understood!" Shen Wansan suggested after thinking for a moment, "Master, since you plan to set up the Daming Textile Factory in Peiping, would you consider transferring Huang Lvcalyx there?"

"Yes, let her go with you." Fourth Master Zhu confirmed, "Zhu Di and I plan to leave for Peiping tomorrow. The war there is urgent."

After explaining various matters in detail, Shen Wansan carefully recorded and took orders.

The next day dawned.

Fourth Master Zhu and Zhu Di set out for the north, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to the city gate to see them off. This iron-blooded emperor who had gone through the battlefield also showed deep affection and reluctance in his eyes when he faced the separation from his father and son: "Dad, take care, and also, watch the fourth child, what happens when a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out, You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead: "Chongba, the Zhu family still has a long future, it's just a temporary separation."

"Hey, we are getting older and we don't want our family to leave." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Father, are you being pretentious?" Zhu Di rolled his eyes.

"Gungun, I can live a few more years without you." Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

Fourth Master Zhu and Zhu Difei got on their horses and rode away without looking back. Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to the city, then turned to look at their retreating figures. He looked back three times step by step until the figures disappeared.

The tiger is the reverence of all beasts, and it dares not to provoke its anger.

Only the love between father and son is reviewed step by step.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Kunning Palace. When he entered the door, he saw Queen Ma busy there with a pile of account books on the table. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled: "Dad and the fourth child are leaving?"

"Well, let's go. I'm really heartless. I left without looking back." Zhu Yuanzhang was angry.

Queen Ma had a smile on her lips. She knew that Zhu Chongba's heart was harder than pig iron in front of outsiders, but he was very fragile towards his family.
