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

Chapter 55: Chang Yuchun Chang Wan

Chapter 55: Always encounter spring, often a hundred thousand
Taibai Restaurant.

Fourth Master Zhu, Yang Xian and Zhu Shou were drinking.

"When you win the Qianjin Tower, Fourth Master, you will be the king of the night in the capital." Zhu Shou raised his glass.

"Fourth Master, Wei Wenjin, the shopkeeper of Qianjintai, I checked and found that he has dealings with Hu Weiyong." Yang Xian frowned, "Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's dog, so I suspect that Li Shanchang is behind Qianjintai."

"Ah? No way, he is the prime minister." Zhu Shou was shocked.

"Why not? Look at his mansion. Apart from the imperial palace, his family is the largest, right?" Yang Xian snorted, "They are both officials in Beijing. Don't you and I know how much the expenses are? He is not Liu Bowen."

"That's right, the leaders of the army still need money, otherwise who of the soldiers will sacrifice their lives for you? What's more, the prime minister needs more people to sacrifice their lives." Zhu Shou said.

"It's probably Li Shanchang. Otherwise, why would he want to kill the Fourth Master several times?" Yang Xian said.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

Regarding Yang Xian's words, Thaksin was half doubtful and half doubtful.

This fool has always wanted to replace Li Shanchang, so don't use yourself as a gunman.

"The other party is the Prime Minister, what else can I do to him?" He pretended to smile bitterly.

"Sooner or later, pull him down!" Yang Xian's eyes were sharp.

Fourth Master Zhu had a smile on his face.

How could you, a fool like you, be Li Shanchang's opponent?
You are just a sword in the emperor's hand. The emperor will throw it away after using it.

"Let's get down to business, are you two looking for me because you want to help transport food?" Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"Yes, transporting grain at the border is a headache for the court." Yang Xian sighed, "Half of the grain transported was consumed by the officers and soldiers transporting grain."

After hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu fell into deep thought.

The problem of grain transportation at the border has always been difficult and consumes a lot of money, and he knows this. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong proposed an "open-to-China law". Although it was only a temporary measure, it once alleviated the court's urgent needs.

The core of "Kaizhongfa" is to call on merchants to participate in transporting grain at the border in exchange for salt. After a merchant obtains a salt guide, he or she can legally sell salt in a designated area.

This policy stimulated the enthusiasm of businessmen, who tried every means to solve the problem of transporting grain. There was even a phenomenon of "merchant villages" in which merchants purchased land and grew grain in border areas.

Fourth Master Zhu secretly thought that this "opening method" was originally a clever plan that Hu Weiyong dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang after he became prime minister.

You have to find a way to intercept him and maximize your profits.

……

Suddenly, there was a noise from the street below.

I saw a mighty Ming army marching into the city with great vigor and high spirits. Under the sunlight, the soldiers' armor sparkled, and the flags fluttered in the wind.

In the middle of the team, there was actually a group of Yuan people. They were all dejected, in sharp contrast to the Ming soldiers around them. Obviously, these Yuan people have become prisoners of Ming Dynasty.

"Chang Shuai is back." Zhu Shou said, "This is a great victory on the northern front. Nai'er, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Dynasty, led his troops to surrender. It is said that there was also the eldest princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty among them."

"Chang Yuchun's return this time is actually for next year's Northern Expedition." Yang Xiandao.

Fourth Master Zhu's eyes fell on the group of Yuan people in the team. Among them was a luxurious carriage, which might be Nai'er Buhua.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records that after the Northern Yuan Taiwei Nai'er Buhua surrendered, he was appointed as the commander of the Shanwei. However, in the ninth year of Hongwu, he defected to Mobei.

After escaping to Mobei, he regained power until the 23rd year of Hongwu, when Zhu Di went deep into Mobei and surrendered Nai'er Buhua again.

"The one who clears the desert is the King of Yan. I don't have to worry about looking north."

At that time, Zhu Di had grown into an excellent commander, even more powerful than Lan Yu.

"Which one is Chang Yuchun?" he asked, scanning the team.

"Hey, Commander Chang is not in the team." Zhu Shou wondered, "Didn't he come back?"

At this time, a carriage happened to pass downstairs.

The car curtain was opened, and a woman looked up at Taibai Tower. Fourth Master Zhu also happened to glance at her.

Damn it, beautiful lady!

Is this Princess Beiyuan? This Nier looks weird and energetic. …

Feiyan Tower.

Zhao Xuanzhen stood on the corridor on the top floor, staring at the mighty team slowly passing by below.

When her sight touched the group of Yuan people, her eyes trembled slightly, and there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in her heart. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but they stubbornly refused to fall.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess," the maid called softly, her eyes also shining with tears, "The plan has begun. It won't be long before we can return to the grassland."

Zhao Xuan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the softness in her eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a cold and firm light.

"Humph, Mingren doesn't know that Nai'er's refusal to surrender is a conspiracy." She snorted coldly.

"They won't know that this is a fake princess." The maid sneered.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, Ao Gu must be stronger than me." Zhao Xuanzhen smiled slightly.

Her eyes fell on the luxurious carriage.

The woman in the carriage seemed to sense her gaze and gently opened the curtain, revealing an exquisite and beautiful face. The woman's neat shoulder-length hair was blowing in the wind, her eyes were like lightning, and she exuded a fierce and domineering temperament.

Her eyes met Zhao Xuan in the air, and everything was unspoken.

"Where did the imperial court place Nai'er Buhua and the others?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked.

"The Hui Tong Pavilion," the maid said, "the Taiwei and the eldest princess will stay there for the time being."

"We have to hurry up. Is there any news about the people sent by the empress in the palace?" Zhao Xuanzhen continued to ask.

"No." The maid frowned.

"Look for her quickly. She is the most important right now. We must find her." Zhao Xuanzhen said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The maid hesitated for a moment and asked, "The captain has brought many experts this time. Can we ask them for help? We suffered heavy losses some time ago and are short of people."

"Let me contact you. They are here just for that information." Zhao Xuanzhen said.

She waved her hand and the maid retreated.

……

Yang Xian and Zhu Shou did not dare to stay longer and left after three drinks.

After Fourth Master Zhu had a leisurely drink, he went down to Taibai Tower.

Pushing open the door, he was met head-on by a big man who came in hurriedly.

"Who is it? You are so blind." Fourth Master Zhu said angrily.

"Hey, old man, are you brave?" The big man looked at you with interest, "Old man, what do you eat? You are so strong."

"Get out of my way, otherwise, I will slap your head into your chest." Fourth Master Zhu was full of momentum.

He also looked up and down at the big man in front of him.

He is tall and tall, with a majestic appearance, eyes like lightning, and a beard that makes him look domineering.

"How dare you stand up to Chang Shuai?" A young man behind the big man shouted angrily at Fourth Master Zhu.
