On the tenth day of the fifth month of the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and he was nicknamed "Emperor Qin Ming Qiyun Junde Successfully Unified Heaven and Great Filial Piety", and the temple name was Taizu. In June, on the day of the burial of the Purple Mountain Filial Piety Mausoleum, I was watching the excitement in the crowd of funerals, and suddenly I saw an old immortal with fairy wind and bones on the other side of the road, who was none other than Master Zhang Jinghe!

He hadn't seen me for a few years, he hadn't drunk my blood again, he was too old to look good, his face was wrinkled, his body was so stiff that he almost hung his beard to the ground, he slammed the ground with his cane, and then turned around and drowned in the crowd.

When the crowd dispersed, Master was long gone, I ran to the place where Master had just used a cane and pestle, saw an iron ring exposed on the ground, pulled it hard, pulled out a one-foot-square iron box, and hurriedly clamped it under my armpit and returned to my residence.

When I opened the iron box, I saw that there were two letters inside, one for me and one for the new emperor Zhu Yunwen, and a smaller wooden box underneath, which read "When Yan comes, he will open it with the saint."

I opened the letter to me, which wrote down what I was going to do in the next few years, and I wrote them down in my heart, then lit a fire, carried the letter to the new emperor in my arms, and waited for the new emperor to return to the palace at the gate of the palace.

In the evening, Zhu Yunwen, who had just been promoted from the emperor's grandson to the emperor, returned to the palace, and I hurriedly stopped and said that there was an urgent report, because I had been with Zhang Zhenren for many years, and often accompanied Zhang Zhenren into the palace to see the saint, so Zhu Yunwen knew me, so he took me into the palace together.

In the imperial study, I presented the letter to him from my master, and he did not shy away from me, but opened the letter directly, only glanced at it, and immediately asked all the eunuchs and palace maids to go out, and I promised to leave, but he left me behind.

Zhu Yunwen unfolded the letter to me, only to see that there was only one line on it: "Mo Zhuyan, Zhuyan flies from high and flies high into Diji", he asked: "What is the meaning of this?"

In fact, I know it in my heart, I have studied physiognomy with Master for 30 years, and the meaning of this sentence does not need to be said by Master, I can deduce it myself, but what can I say at this time?

"The grass people are ignorant and can't figure out the thoughts of the old immortals. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at me for a long time as if he had a deep meaning, "I understand the words of the old immortal, but this is the will of the emperor's grandfather, what can I do?"

Soon after, the new emperor Zhu Yunwen issued an order to cut the domain, the fifth uncle Zhu Hu, the seventh uncle Zhu Rong, the thirteenth uncle Zhu Gui and others all accepted the reduction of the domain, and were demoted to concubines, and the twelfth uncle Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, died by self-immolation in order to avoid the humiliation of cutting the domain.

In the end, only the strongest fourth uncle was left - Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Di guarded Beiping, and his army fought against the northern minorities for many years, and his combat effectiveness was very impressive. He sent important ministers around him to replace the generals of the Beiping garrison, wanting to seize military power first and then cut the domain, but unfortunately Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not give it in vain, and directly rebelled under the banner of "Jingnan".

As soon as I saw that there was another war, I immediately tried to become a doctor in the army, after all, the blood of beggars is really not very good.

In August of the first year of Jianwen, I attacked Beiping with the 300,000 army led by Geng Bingwen, the old general of Taizu, and was defeated by the army of King Yan in Xiongxian and Zhengding, especially in the battle of Xiongxian, 9,000 people were wiped out, and none of them came back, and I didn't drink a mouthful of blood in the rear, and I was very depressed.

When I saw this person at first sight, I knew that the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, or the rivers and mountains of Emperor Jianwen, would die in the hands of this person sooner or later, because this person's face was: two cheeks without flesh, mouth like blowing fire, chin cheeks sharpened into a triangle, cheeks shriveled, look sharp-mouthed monkey gills, giving people a sense of insidious and treacherous. However, this kind of person also tends to play some intrigue and tricks, and he can also come up with strange tricks when leading troops to fight.

At that time, in order to subdue the Mongolian cavalry to help the war, Zhu Di personally led the main force to attack Ningcheng (that is, the place where the "Ningcheng Laojiao" was produced), and Beiping was empty. Li Jinglong led the main force of the Wang Division to take advantage of the weakness to go north, besiege Beiping, and attacked for several days in a row, and it seemed that he was about to capture the city wall. The whole army felt that victory was in sight, and only I began to pack my bags and prepare to retreat, and the people around me asked me why I retreated?

When Li Jinglong heard about it, he arrested me, saying that I was lying to confuse the people, causing trouble to the army, and wanted to kill me to correct military law, I smiled,

"Marshal Li, let's make a bet, tomorrow at this time, if you can enter Beiping City, I will stretch my neck for you to cut, if you can't enter, you have to let me go." ”

"Joke, today's siege is very smooth, many city walls have been destroyed by our army, tomorrow morning as long as the commander orders the siege of the city, within one day, Beiping. This gambler will fight with you, but if you lose, you should wash your neck and wait for the knife! I heard that you are the apprentice of Liu Bowen, who is sincere, and it seems that it is nothing more than that. Come, take him down to me, and when the city is broken tomorrow, it will be his death!"

I was pushed by the two marshals and soldiers, and when I got out of the big tent, a cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but take a breath, "It's so cold......"

That night, a cold spell hit and the temperature plummeted.

When he got up the next morning, Li Jinglong was dumbfounded, only to see a crystal clear ice wall appear in front of him, the city wall originally made of rammed earth and bricks and stones, is now covered by a thick layer of ice, the bow and arrow shoot a white spot, the cannon bombards a shallow pit, the cloud ladder is put up and is gently pushed by the defenders on the city wall, and it will slide down immediately, and the city wall is also full of ice, and the siege soldiers can't even stand under the city wall, let alone climb up.

It turned out that the weather suddenly turned cold last night, and Zhu Gaochi, the son of Zhu Di, ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city to take water and splash the city, not only froze a thick layer of ice on the wall, but also repaired the previously damaged city wall.

Li Jinglong suddenly remembered that there was still a person who bet with him in the barracks, so he hurriedly called his own soldiers and went back to the camp to secretly execute me, so as not to be able to beat Beiping City today, and he would lose face if he lost the gamble, but found that I had already broken free of the rope and escaped from the camp......

Two days later, the spies came to report that Zhu Di's army had incorporated the Duoyan Sanwei Mongolian cavalry under King Ning, and was returning to Beiping at night.

After that, from the second year of Jianwen to the fourth year of Jianwen, I was incognito, sometimes serving under Wang Shi, and sometimes going to serve as a military doctor in the army of King Yan. Until June of the fourth year of Jianwen, the Yan army captured Zhenjiang and approached Nanjing, I withdrew into Nanjing with the defeated army, took advantage of the chaos to enter the palace, and found Zhu Yunwen, who was desperate and despaired.
