218 Grace and power
Xu Da used the plank road to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly Chen Cang's plan, arrived in Lanzhou three days in advance, and attacked Wang Baobao City overnight, and finally pulled out Wang Baobao's "nail" in the northwest and defended Lanzhou City.
Xu Da's rule was very strict, everywhere the army went, there was no offense, and the people of Lanzhou welcomed the legendary general.
Xu Miaoyi had been a military doctor in her father's hands for two years before, and she was already familiar with her father's appearance of the stars holding the moon, and ignored the cheers outside, and her attention was on the three brothers of the Li family at this time.
The three brothers of the Li family are the only son of Li Shanchang, that is, Li Qi, the concubine who married Princess Lin'an, and Li Shanchang's two nephews, Li Shen and Li You, among which Li You has just been newly married and married to the niece of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
These three people are all the bloodlines of the Li family, and it is really strange that they all followed Xu Da to attack the little Wang Baobao City......
Since Xu Da saved Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi, he deliberately separated the two, Zhu Di arranged to train in the camp from afar, and his daughter pretended to be a personal soldier, taking her with her all the time, separating the two places like a cowherd and a weaver girl.
Xu Miaoyi asked her father bluntly, "Dad, why are the people of the Li family here?" ”
Looking at his daughter with gauze wrapped around her arm, Xu Da forgot all the reproaches and reprimands that Xu Da was brewing, and he looked coldly at the three brothers of the Li family who were being driven into the carriage by the fierce cold wind in the northwest to keep warm, and said:
"Originally, the note you left ran away from home, saying that Li Shanchang was the mastermind behind the scenes, I didn't believe it, but I was shocked to hear that the northwest border was attacked by the enemy army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at night, and Yan Wang was born and died, and even you disappeared without a trace......"
"Therefore, I believe at least five points of the words on the note, presumably Li Shanchang wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, hmph, he is easy to bully when we are the Xu family. This time, I commanded troops to reinforce Lanzhou, and forcibly conscripted the sons of the Li family into the army, once I found out that you were killed...... Anyway, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and the Li family has at least a hundred ways to die, and I will let the Li family pay for their lives and cut off their children and grandchildren. ”
There are only these three men in the younger generation of the Li family, Princess Lin'an is pregnant, but although the child is surnamed Li, it belongs to the royal family, and it is necessary to enter the royal jade book, and the other two have just gotten married, and there are no heirs.
Perhaps Li Shanchang took this into account and did not continue to send people to hunt down Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi.
's father is finally on his side, and Xu Miaoyi's worries have not decreased, "But although Li Shanchang said that he returned to his hometown, his power in the DPRK and China is still there, most of the civil officials are promoted by him, and his only opponent, Chengyi Bo Liu Ji, was squeezed out by him." The new prime minister Hu Weiyong is not only his student, but also his in-laws, not to mention that the emperor definitely does not like civil officials and military generals to fight, and his father is now tearing his face and fighting openly and secretly, I am afraid that he will lose his heart and be unfavorable to the Xu family. ”
Xu Da looked at his daughter fixedly, "Are you afraid of affecting the Xu family, so you ran away from home and didn't settle accounts with Li Shanchang?" ”
Xu Miaoyi sighed: "Zhu Di and I had several twists and turns to find out the real culprit, but the king's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor ordered Li Shanchang to return to his hometown, but he beat his own son, denounced it as the people, and distributed it to the border. The difference between the strength of us and Li Shanchang is too great, in fact, we still have his handle in our hands, but the time has not come, when Li Shanchang is jealous of the emperor and intends to liquidate, we will come back with evidence and give him a fatal blow. ”
Xu Da said: "In fact, if it weren't for Zhu Shouqian's confusion, his big mistake, and his use by Li Shanchang, the emperor might not have severely punished King Yan." ”
Xu Miaoyi reminded: "Father, Zhu Di was deprived of the title of prince, and he is already a commoner, and he can no longer be called King Yan." ”
Xu Da snorted coldly, "As long as the holy decree has not been issued and has not been announced to the world, and the name of King Yan is still on the treasure book of the Zongren Mansion, he will still be the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Thinking of the scene of Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi's life and death in the street battle that night, Xu Da was unwilling, and had to accept the reality, secretly thinking that my eldest daughter, how could she marry a commoner with no name, Zhu Di must be the king of Yan.
Xu Miaoyi said: "Zhu Di escaped death several times, but the emperor was indifferent, he didn't care about his life or death, and it was a matter of time before he was removed from the royal family." ”
Xu Da sighed, "You also said just now, the king's heart is unpredictable, if the emperor's mind is so easy to be guessed, how can he sit firmly?" No matter how annoyed the emperor is with King Yan, he is also the emperor's own flesh and blood! As a parent, how can you not worry about your children? When the emperor is angry, he will sooner or later summon King Yan back to Beijing. ”
"Actually, the three brothers of the Li family, I only mobilized Li Shen and Li You at the beginning, and the concubine Li Qi wrote a book, saying that Princess Lin'an was pregnant, and he wanted to stay in the Beijing Dynasty to take care of the princess, the emperor was furious and scolded Li Qi, saying, 'The princess is the pearl of my palm, I and the queen, and the Zongren Mansion will take good care of the princess, not to mention that the princess's mansion has its own imperial doctor to ask for pulse recuperation every day, isn't it that if you are not in the capital, my daughter will suffer and suffer?' ‘”
When Xu Miaoyi heard this, her heart was happy, "The Li family also has today!" I thought that Princess Lin'an was pregnant and gave birth to an heir surnamed Li, so I would be at ease. ”
Xu Da said: "Although the princess and the concubine are husband and wife, they are essentially monarchs and ministers, princesses are monarchs, we must always remember our duties as courtiers, monarchs, supreme meaning, monarchs can be respected, and even can be bluntly admonished, but they can't say that they are covering the monarch, the emperor was originally suspicious, this kind of words may be regarded as bullying the monarch, how can the emperor not be angry?" You should keep this in mind in the future and do not say the wrong thing. ”
Xu Miaoyi lowered her head and said, "Zhu Di is not so stingy." ”
Xu Da looked at the lingering affection in his daughter's eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that the woman was not left, and said: "It's not about how King Yan is, but about paying attention to your words and deeds in front of the emperor." ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Okay, I know-father, since the emperor acquiesced that the three brothers of the Li family are all under your control, and he doesn't even care about the life and death of the concubine, does it mean that he wants to do something to Li Shanchang?" ”
Xu Da thought for a while and said: "You and King Yan are fine, this time the northwest victory, after the three brothers of the Li family go back, the emperor is estimated to be rewarded, and the glory of the Li family is estimated to be better than before." ”
Xu Miaoyi wondered, "This ...... Why is that? ”
Xu Da patted his daughter's head: "Envy and power, checks and balances, these are all imperial tricks." The affairs of the court, after all, must be resolved in the court with the rules of the court, how can it be the happiness and enmity in the script? The road between you and King Yan has just begun, don't be anxious, you have to hold steady. ”
Xu Miaoyi nodded, looking at the southwest direction from afar, "I wonder if my cousin has arrived in Guilin at this time?" In fact, I have the patience to wait for the day when Li Shanchang will take the blame, but my grandfather's grievances and the tragedy of the Xie family's vain death, I don't know when Zhaoxue will be rehabilitated. ”
Xu Da slapped his daughter on the back of the head, "Don't mention the Xie family again!" Let's not argue about the authenticity of the documents in Shen Wansan's collection, if the emperor announces the grievances of the Xie family to the world, won't he admit that he is a faint king? What's more, this is mixed with the rebellion case of Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Shouqian's father and son, you are a cat with nine lives, and it is not enough for the emperor to cut it. ”
A deep sense of helplessness lowered his brows and went back to his heart.
Xu Miaoyi rode on a horse as a chess player, next to her father, and the people in the middle of the road offered wheat cakes, eggs and air-dried bacon and other things, this is the desire of the people, and any general in the Ming Dynasty does not have this kind of prestige and reputation like Xu Da.
Just like what the innkeeper said last night, since it was General Xu who attacked the city, Wang Baobao must have broken the city.
This is the highest state of being a soldier - a soldier who surrenders without a fight. The natural talents that only appear every few hundred years in the history of the youth.
Xu Miaoyi looked at her cheering father, thinking to herself, even if she was such a natural talent, what about it? In front of the imperial power, his father did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and even his wife and father-in-law could not protect the whole family.
But Xu Miaoyi also understands that it is wrong to blame her father, such a natural talent, and her father's mission is to make contributions and create legends of the god of war that will amaze future generations, and should not be like her grandfather and uncle-in-law Zhu Wenzheng, who were lost in endless political struggles and plots early.
You can't blame your father, you can't point out Emperor Hongwu's mistakes, and you can't even end your grudge against the culprit Li Shanchang.
You have to wait, you have to endure, you have to work hard to make yourself stronger, and you will compete with Li Shanchang in the future.
The current Xu Dawei is famous, in fact, Xie Zaixing and Zhu Wenzheng in the past also had similar achievements in strength and achievement as Xu Da, but unfortunately, they are three sons-in-law, one of whom is still of royal blood, and for any emperor, they are an extremely powerful threat - even if the other party has no intention of rebelling.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
But my grandfather, my family, and my uncle, should they bury their lives and reputations in vain?
Xu Miaoyi said secretly: My father said that the affairs of the court should be solved in the court by using the rules of the court after all. In fact, half of the rebellion of the Xie family and her uncle-in-law was caused by the supreme imperial power.
Then, the entanglement caused by the imperial power can only be resolved by using the rules of the imperial power, and ultimately by relying on the imperial power...... How to control the imperial power? Only—
Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyi couldn't help but shudder, and looked at her father with a little weakness, Fang Cai's thought was too rebellious, Zhu Di was just a vassal king......
But the idea of rebellion was so tempting that it quietly planted a seed in her heart, which slowly sprouted and grew, and by the time she noticed it again, it was already a forest of trees, lush and green, and a great climate.
Xu Da returned triumphantly, after returning to Beijing, Emperor Hongwu rewarded the soldiers, Zhu Di was taken to the Yanwang Mansion, the treatment of the prince remained unchanged, Emperor Hongwu seemed to have lost his memory, and did not remember that he had taken the title of his son, and degraded Zhu Di to the common people.
When Xu Da came back, the Northern Yuan Dynasty seized the throne and the dust settled, the prince bought the eight thorns in the prime minister Wang Baobao with the support of the successful enthronement, and soon secretly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, submitted the credentials, said that the two countries are peaceful, never at war, in order to show sincerity, the Northern Yuan Emperor is willing to marry the Ming lady as the queen, the marriage of Qin and Jin, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei Xu Da Xu Miaoyi is gentle and virtuous, can be the mother of the country...... 166 Reading Network
