Xu Da said: "The ministers have done their best for the Ming Dynasty, and their loyalty to the emperor will never change." Years are fleeting, birth, old age, sickness and death. Now it's the turn of young people to make a big difference, Beiyuan is still very strong, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff. According to Lao Chen, it will take at least six Northern Expeditions to completely defeat them, and Lao Chen has completed three Northern Expeditions, and the Northern Expeditionary Army will have to charge into battle with the younger generation in the future. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da on the shoulder, "Aiqing, according to Jinyiwei's tip, the national pillar Wang Baobao of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also seriously injured after the defeat this time, and he concealed his condition, so he couldn't go on the battlefield anymore." ”

Xu Da was a little surprised, his eyes changed several times, and finally calmed down, "Oh, Chen and Wang Baobao are really destined rivals, and the last time they met was the last battle in their lives." was able to solve this big problem for the emperor, and the minister finally fulfilled his mission. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "You, it's all this time, and you still want to serve the country loyally, don't you think about yourself and your family?" Take good care of your body and take care of your life. ”

Xu Da shook his head, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that the minister's back sores are almost exactly the same as Chang Yuchun's, I don't expect anything, I just want to die with dignity." As for the family...... The eldest son, Xu Huizu, is a general, and he will replace me in the future and continue to serve the emperor; The youngest son Xu Zengshou is not successful, but fortunately, he is kind at heart and does not cause trouble, and the emperor granted him the position of hereditary brocade clothes and thousands of households, and he can keep his wealth in the future; The daughters are obedient and sensible, I don't have to worry about it, only ......"

Xu Da struggled to stand up and bowed to Emperor Hongwu, "Only the eldest daughter Miaoyi is too stubborn, so I beg the emperor to take care of her." ”

This time it touched the affected area, and his waist seemed to be stabbed, almost broken, and Xu Da's face was as pale as paper.

Emperor Hongwu was furious, "She is already my fourth daughter-in-law, and she has given birth to an heir for the royal family, even if she has some temper, can I still tolerate her?" you

Ah, are you overly cautious, or do you not believe me? Don't hurry up yet! ”

Xu Da hoped that his worries were superfluous, but the deceased crown princess Chang was the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun, but there was still a situation in the East Palace, where the side concubine Lu was in charge of the East Palace, and the west wind completely overwhelmed the east wind.

Jun's heart is unpredictable, and Xu Da has to plan for the worst.

Xu Da insisted on kneeling and bowing, "Ask the emperor to promise the minister, if Miaoyi makes a mistake in the future, says the wrong thing, and does the wrong thing, begging the emperor to open up the Internet and let her live, this is the only request of the minister." ”

This is clearly not believing in Emperor Hongwu's promise.

Emperor Hongwu was so angry that his beard trembled, "Okay, I promise you that I will give Miaoyi a letter of pardon to save her from death, except for rebellion." ”

Emperor Hongwu immediately wrote a letter of pardon, stamped it with a jade seal, and handed it to Xu Da.

Xu Daru received the treasure, took it with both hands, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness!" ”

Emperor Hongwu was still angry, and waved his hand impatiently, "You can get up now." ”

Xu Da slowly stood up on one knee, at this time he lost consciousness in the pain in his waist, and suddenly fell to the ground out of control, fortunately, Emperor Hongwu reacted quickly, supported Xu Da, and held his shoulder, Emperor Hongwu found that the cold sweat had soaked through the veteran's clothes, which shows how painful Xu Da was.

The anger is gone. Emperor Hongwu slowly helped Xu Da to sit down on the couch, "I'll go to Doctor Xuan to show you the wound." ”

Xu Da shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's a good thing that I feel pain, at least I still have consciousness, and the old minister will not be half paralyzed." The medicines prescribed by the Imperial Physician could certainly relieve the pain, but the minister was always groggy and not clear-headed. ”

Emperor Hongwu had a look of remorse on his face, "If I had known that it was so serious, I shouldn't have let you drink so much wine last night." ”

Xu Da smiled, and actually winked at Emperor Hongwu naughtily, opened the mezzanine dark grid, and there was actually a wine gourd inside!

Xu Da took a sip of the wine gourd, and sighed with satisfaction: "This is the best medicine, it supports the seriously injured old minister to complete this Northern Expedition." ”

Xu Da put the wine gourd back into the dark compartment and rinsed his mouth with fragrant tea, "so as not to be discovered by Miaoyi and have another quarrel." This kid has a good temper, is competitive, and stubborn. ”

Emperor Hongwu looked at Xu Da, who loved his daughter, all fathers, all heroes, Emperor Hongwu understood Xu Da's approach very well, the long-standing estrangement between monarchs and ministers was still there, but politeness and estrangement seemed to have disappeared temporarily at that moment.

Emperor Hongwu took the initiative to bring up the past that they had been deliberately avoiding, "Back then...... I killed Xie Zaixing's family, I was a little anxious. ”

Xu Da was shocked, "The emperor ......"

What do you say? Could it be that the emperor killed you right, and you don't need to blame yourself? Or is it that the emperor really wrongfully killed Xie Zaixing, and for this reason you want to issue an edict to the world?

If Xu Da really didn't understand that the emperor wanted to destroy the entire Xie family and not give him any chance to refute, then a few months later, his brother-in-law Zhu Wenzheng also broke out a major case of rebellion, and Xu Da faintly guessed the cause and effect when he found something like a dragon robe!

The three of them are all in charge of the military, and the prestige of all three of them in the army is extremely high, and the emperor is deeply jealous. If he could do it all over again, Emperor Hongwu would make the same choice.

However, even if this matter is only separated by a layer of window paper, Xu Da can't pierce it, because once it is punctured, it will be regarded as a betrayal by Emperor Hongwu, and the end of the Xu family will come.

And because the window paper is too weak, Xu Da is worried that his daughter Miaoyi will not know what to do in the future, and will puncture the window paper and anger the dragon scales, so he endured severe pain and begged for a pardon for his daughter to save her life.

This is a father's last protection for his daughter.

Xu Da finally said: "The past cannot be traced, and no one can go back to the past." However, it is undeniable that King Yan and Princess Yan were almost assassinated at the Northwest Border Pass. They are all fathers, and the ministers believe that the emperor's heart will be revealed. ”

For many years, Xu Da knew that Emperor Hongwu's most taboo was rebellion, but Li Shanchang was very cunning, and the purpose of what he did was not to rebel, so if he wanted to touch Emperor Hongwu, he had to use the safety of King Yan.

Li Shanchang calculated in every possible way, and finally made a bad move, he was too anxious, and he actually wanted to kill King Yan, according to Xu Da's understanding of Emperor Hongwu, this king would definitely not let go of anyone who hurt his heirs.

It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come. When Emperor Hongwu finds the opportunity to uproot Li Shanchang's power in the court, then the end of Li Shanchang will come.

Get rid of Li Shanchang, and her daughter Xu Miaoyi will be truly safe. However, Xu Da's body couldn't survive that day, and he could only let Emperor Hongwu beware of Li Shanchang, who was retired in Fengyang, in this way.

Emperor Hongwu really listened, "Don't worry, if I can't even protect my son and daughter-in-law, what kind of emperor can I be, rest assured." ”

Emperor Hongwu opened the secret compartment, took away Xu Da's private wine gourd, and shook it, "I confiscated it, and I am not allowed to drink it again in the future." ”

It was time to hold the lamp, Emperor Hongwu and Xu Da had dinner together, Xu Da had no appetite in his illness, drank some rice porridge, and ate some goose breast meat that was easy to restrain and eat, this goose breast meat was as colorful as rouge, steamed crispy, and melted in the mouth, Emperor Hongwu thought that Xu Da loved to eat goose meat, because after returning to the palace, he often gave some goose meat dishes to the Wei State Mansion.

In early summer, the two daughters of the Xu family married into the royal family in June, the second lady Xu Miaoqing was crowned the princess, and the third lady Xu Miaoxi was the princess An.

One family has three princesses, and the Xu family is extremely prosperous.

In the middle of summer, Xu Da's back sores were seriously aggravated and he could no longer stand and walk, Emperor Hongwu gave Xu Da a palace in Jiming Mountain for summer recuperation, and Xu Miaoyi took her son to accompany her father.

Xu Da sat in a special wheelchair, pushed by his daughter to walk in the palace, Jiming Mountain was also exceptionally cool in midsummer and July, in the pond water pavilion, Zhu Di held his half-year-old son to swim in the lake, although he was young, the water was very good, the fat arms and legs were rolling in the water, fluttering like a frog, and his bald head was floating on the turquoise lake.

Xu Da smiled and clapped his hands at his grandson, "Come here, let grandpa hug him." ”

Fat Chi only wore a red cloth in his pocket, and sat on his grandfather's knee with his bare ass eating milk cake, although he only had a pair of front teeth, it did not hinder his good appetite.

Xu Da doted on his grandson's eating appearance, and after eating it, he began to lick his fingers, Xu Da saw Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di talking in the pavilion far away, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to secretly give his grandson another piece of milk cake.

In the pavilion, Zhu Di said: "My father-in-law is secretly feeding Chi'er again, he is too heavy, I am worried that if I continue to get used to this, I will become a big fat man in the future." ”

Xu Miaoyi sighed: "That's no way, father, he'...... I don't have much chance to hurt my grandson. The day after tomorrow, the fifth brother got married, the weather was too hot, and the child was prone to heat stroke and illness, so he let Chi'er accompany his father in the palace, and the two of us went down the mountain to watch the ceremony. By the way, the fifth brother is he...... It's a lover of a person, and he won't do anything to regret his marriage in public, right? ”

When it comes to his younger brother's marriage, Zhu Di is happy and worried, "My father and mother chose the daughter of Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, for him, a beautiful lady, gentle and virtuous, and the Duke of Song did not dislike him for being lazy in medical skills and not doing his job, what else was he dissatisfied with?" I talked to him all night and he promised me that I would treat my wife well in the future and not do anything out of the ordinary. ”

The wedding of King Zhu Hu of Zhou was held smoothly, and Princess Qin and Princess Wang Yinnu seemed to like Princess Feng of Zhou, the new concubine.

In the golden autumn of August, Xu Da returned home from the summer palace, coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the three princes and sons-in-law went to their father-in-law's house to send congratulatory gifts.

At the dinner, the palace gave a banquet, and in front of Xu Da was a steamed goose, Jun En was like a mountain, Xu Da reluctantly ate a mouthful of goose meat, then shook his head and stopped eating, took medicine, and fell asleep again.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Da woke up slowly, and through the faint morning light, he saw his daughter and Yi sleeping on the Luohan bed opposite, the candles on the desk burned to the end, and there were a few ancient medical books that had just been collected, and a few pieces of thin paper fell on the ground, which were full of various prescriptions for revision.

The daughter never gave up hope.

Xu Da wanted to get up and covered his daughter with the thin quilt that had slipped on his waist, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

In a trance, Xu Da heard the neighing of the long-lost war horse, Chang Yuchun rode into the door, he stretched out his hand to Xu Da, "Good brother, I'll pick you up." ”

Xu Da felt that his body was light, and in the blink of an eye, he also rode a war horse, and Chang Yuchun ran wild in the mountains, and there was a young man with a face like a crown jade and a noble temperament on the top of the mountain, and he swooped down on a horse, and they met at the intersection, it was his brother-in-law Zhu Wenzheng.

"Brother-in-law, you also came to see your daughter-in-law." Zhu Wenzheng said with a smile, he was still as suave as before.

At this time, a carriage slowly came over in front of them, and the big and small Xie sisters sat together affectionately and talked about themselves, as if they had said something happy, and the crisp laughter went straight into the sky......

In the early morning, the Duke of Wei sounded the cloud board to report the funeral, and Xu Da died. 166 Reading Network
