Chapter 884: Dominate the country, the sun and the moon

On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the 11th year of Yongle, the Ming court held the traditional game of "shooting willows" in the East Garden, and Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, invited the civil and military ministers, the surrounding ethnic minorities and the envoys of various countries in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the elders in Beijing to come to watch. On this day, the wind was beautiful and the weather was sunny, and the princes and ministers who participated in the shooting of the willows were divided into two groups, and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji was arranged in the first place. At the beginning of the game, Zhu Di was very happy, and after people finished the game, he hurriedly called Zhanji to his eyes and praised him. He wanted to show off his beloved grandson in front of the civil and military ministers and foreign envoys, so he smiled and said to Zhanji: "Today, both Chinese and foreigners are coming to the party, I will make an upper couplet, you have to think about the lower couplet, and then paused, and read in a recitation tone: "Wanfang Jade Silk Wind and Cloud Meeting." As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhan Ji bend down and kowtow without hesitation, and at the same time shouted the next couplet: "Unify the country and the sun and the moon." Such a precise couplet immediately won a round of applause from the participants, and Zhu Di was even more excited. Wanfang jade silk wind and cloud meeting, unified the country and the sun and the moon are bright", love grandson Zhu Zhanji is quick-witted, neat and tidy, in front of the ministers and foreign envoys for his face to add a lot of glory, Zhu Di happily ordered people to give Zhanji famous horses, Jinqi, Luo Sha and foreign tribute cloth, and then set up a banquet to entertain all the people who came to watch. Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, and suddenly remembered the scene between his father and Emperor Jianwen a few years ago, when Zhu Yunwen was the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of Tai, once sent out a joint "Wind blows a thousand lines of horsetail", asking him to face Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Zhu Yunwen said: "The rain hits the wool. Zhu Di said: "The sun shines on the dragon scales and ten thousand points of gold." Zhu Dizhi was more satisfied with Taizu. It also shows Zhu Yunwen's cowardice, mediocrity and Zhu Di's ambition. After the death of Taizu, the royal family thought of some ways to consolidate Zhu Yunwen's throne. But later, the country was finally acquired by Zhu Di. And the above couplet became a proverb about the fate of the two. These two couplets have an amazing look at each other, that is, from that day, deep in his heart, he faintly felt that his nephew was not simple, and he never had half a contempt.

Huang Yan and the others saw that Zhu Gaoxu frowned and was silent, but no one stepped forward to speak, for fear that he would interrupt his contemplation.

Zhu Gaoxu thought alone for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "He is making a provocation to this king, it must be yes, Le'an Prefecture is the fief of this king, no one in the court dares to come, he is a yellow-haired boy who has not dried up, he actually wants to pass through Le'an Prefecture, I am afraid that I will underestimate the courage of this king!" This king has been on the battlefield for several years, that time is not the charge in front, speaking of the king on the side may not be, this bold king really does not lose to him, today you send it to the door, this king will let you see the means of this king? ”

"The prince wants to ——?" Huang Yan glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said cautiously.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said: "The emperor is dead, the crown prince is the biggest obstacle to the king's success, and now he takes the initiative to send it to the door, how can the king let him go, let the generals in the palace prepare to prepare, the king will personally lead the army to kill the generals, the king will not believe it, he Zhu Zhanji has three heads and six arms?" I can't kill it! ”

As soon as they heard that the current prince was killed, the faces of the rest of the people changed, and Pan Tianshi turned pale with fright, and said tremblingly: "The prince wants to think twice?" Since this prince dares to come, I'm afraid he is prepared? “

Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said: "Prepare, even if he has more preparations, he is not the opponent of this king when he comes to Le'an Prefecture, it is easy to kill him?" “

Huang Yan thought for a while and said: "The prince's bravery is known all over the world, Qu Neng's father and son were extremely brave and abnormal, and when they met the prince, weren't they the same as being killed by the prince?" “

Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of pride, that Qu Nengyin inherited the official position of the governor of the Governor's Mansion, and was later appointed as the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Governor, and made great achievements in the war of following Lan Yu across the Dadu River to conquer the Xifan tribe. Later, he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief to crusade against the rebel chieftain Yuelu Timur of Jianchang, and broke the enemy army in Shuangwolf Village, which was extremely brave and rumored to be invincible.

When Jing was in trouble, he followed Li Jinglong to the north to crusade against Zhu Di. In the battle of Beiping, and his son led thousands of brave and good fighting troops to attack the Changyi Gate, just when he was about to win and defeat the enemy, Li Jinglong was jealous of his merits, and ordered them to wait for the rear army to come together, so he missed this golden opportunity, so that the Yan army quickly corrected and replenished in a short period of time, and finally because of being outnumbered, Qu Neng and his son were forced to withdraw from Beijing City.

It happened that the weather was cold that night, so the Yan army poured water on the city wall, and after a while, the water condensed into ice, and when it was time to attack the city again, it was unsuccessful because the city wall was slippery, and in the end, Li Jinglong's army was annihilated. Later, Qu Neng followed Li Jinglong's army to fight against the Yan army in Baigou River.

When fighting here the next day, Qu Neng and others were even more brave and almost captured Zhu Di, and when it was critical, Zhu Di pretended to summon follow-up troops to cover himself, which made the southern army suspicious and did not dare to pursue, so Zhu Di was able to escape. When it was almost dark, Qu Neng and others led the army to find the main force of the Yan army to fight, and at the same time, the whole army shouted "Destroy Yan" to dissipate the morale of the Yan army, improve their morale, and kill hundreds of Yan soldiers in a battle.

Later, Yu Tongyuan, Teng Ju and others, the generals of the Southern Army, led the army to make peace with Qu Neng, and for a time, the morale of the Southern Army was greatly boosted, and there was a great force and courage to turn the Yan Army into powder in an instant. However, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, just when the Yan army was demoralized and about to be defeated, the heavens landed their sympathy on Zhu Di, suddenly, a gust of wind burst out, the southern army's flag was blown off, at the time of the "heaven and man induction" was popular, the blow to the southern army was fatal, for a while, the army looked at each other and moved, even if the southern army had a chance of winning, but at this time the army was in turmoil, and had no intention of fighting, and the Yan army was scrambling to kill the enemy, Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to highlight the fine cavalry around it and ride the wind to set fire, waved the army and attacked, killed Qu Neng father and son and Yu Tongyuan, Teng Ju and other generals, Li Jinglong had no choice, led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Jinan to hold on, after this battle, Zhu Gaoxu's name of courage is known all over the world.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of pride, Huang Yan continued to say boldly: "It's just that the prince is not comparable to Qu Neng's martial arts, this time he dares to come to Le'an Prefecture, he must be prepared, if the prince rashly kills the general, he is afraid of ......?" “

"What are you afraid of, as long as you can kill Zhu Zhanji, sooner or later this world will be the king's?" Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand indifferently, and after many years of military career, he had cultivated that everything was solved by killing.

Huang Yanxin said: "This Han King is brave but brave, but it's a pity that it's too child's play?" This prince has Yang Shiqi, Fan Zhong escort all the way, and Hu Ying, the old fox, if it is so easy to kill, then it is not Zhu Zhanji!

"Hmph, this king's guards have already investigated, Zhu Zhanji's entry into Beijing this time is only 500 soldiers and horses, and most of them are skirmishers from Hangzhou, although this king only has one guard, but it is more than enough to kill these people?"

When Zhu Gaoxu was named the king of Han, he was equipped with three guards of the horse, but he refused to be in the capital, and the three guards and horses were not given to him, and then he fought everywhere, and made a lot of meritorious contributions for the Ming Dynasty, relying on military merits He asked Zhu Di for the Tiance Guard, Zhu Di actually approved, so that there were four guards, if it were not for the fact that he later did a lot of rebellious things to anger Zhu Di, in a fit of anger, he withdrew his guards, leaving only the Tiance Protector who wanted Zhu Di to be with his military exploits, these soldiers were all soldiers who fought with him in the south and the north, The courage is abnormal, and it is not lost to the three major battalions in the capital, and it is easy to kill only 500 soldiers.

Huang Yan saw that Zhu Gaoxu was a little reckless, and was secretly a little worried, and thought for a while: "This matter is very important, Your Highness should wait for Xu Xiucai to come and discuss before making a decision?" ”

Although Huang Yan is a eunuch, his vision is extremely high, ordinary literati and ink writers can not enter his eyes at all, but he has great respect for Xu Lang, and greatly appreciates his versatility, especially the flower and bird paintings he paints, which incorporate the strengths of each family without being limited, bold change, and great creative power. His freehand paintings, whether it is flowers or flowers and birds, are all waved, a qiē is all between the similar and unlike, the four seasons of flowers and trees under the brush, the painter uses a variety of brush and ink forms such as hooks, dots, splashes, and swords, and the grace of the peony, the beauty of crape myrtle, the sparseness of bamboo, the arrogance of frost chrysanthemum, and the charm of cold plum into the wood, stretching nine feet and five feet respectively of the sycamore and plantain, straight outside the painting, without seeing the beginning and the end, and the dense grapes such as showers, the vines like dragons constitute a huge tension. The vertical and horizontal atmosphere and bold realm that overflow the picture are unprecedented. His ink grapes, bunches of fruits hanging upside down on the branches, the water is fresh and tender, the image is vivid, the lush leaves are made of large pieces of ink, the style is sparse, and the shape is not sought to resemble, so that he sincerely likes it, in the past few years, there have been many good things for Xu Lang in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Hearing that it was Xu Lang, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated, in Le'an Prefecture over the years, his strength can grow, can get support from all sides, Xu Lang has contributed to his planning, he has always been above the top, he has to say that Xu Lang is a talent, and he is also obedient to his words on weekdays.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand violently and said, "Don't wait, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this king must not miss it?" Saying that, he slowly raised his head, his eyes swept at everyone like sharp blades, and said: "From the moment my father ascended the throne as the emperor, this king has been waiting for such an opportunity, but God is not fair, and gave the opportunity to the royal brother, and now this king has been planning for many years, and finally moved the heavens, giving this king a rare opportunity, how can I miss it, this may be the king's last chance, if we can't take the opportunity to kill the prince this time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future!" ”
