Unexpectedly, she caught a big fish as soon as she came, Yao Miaoyi carefully looked at this second-grade military attache named Zhang Yu. He is a middle-aged man, but there is not much frost on his face, it seems that he should have inherited his father's title, and he is a senior general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came by grace.

When the Mongolian nobles reached Zhang Yu's generation, they had lost their ambition and domineering spirit to level the Central Plains, and their luxury and materialism had worn off their sharpness.

Because he was in the prison, his future was uncertain, and his demeanor was a little cramped, but when he saw Yao Miaoyi, a woman who looked quite kind, his heart relaxed a lot, and he straightened his ripped clothes and hair, trying to make himself look calm.

Seeing these small details, Yao Miaoyi at least knew that this Zhang Yu did not have the heart to seek death, since he was bent on survival, it was easy to say. If this person can be recruited for Zhu Di, it will also be a great achievement.

Yao Miaoyi asked, "Do you have a wife and children?" ”

When ordinary people mention their wives and children, their hearts will become softer, and even the ** of survival will be even greater.

Sure enough, a warm color welled up in Zhang Yu's eyes, "I have a wife, Wang, and I am the daughter of Lord Wang of the Privy Council." My wife and I have three sons and one daughter. ”

Oh! Married the daughter of the top boss and a first-class master!

This Zhang Yu is still very powerful, otherwise that kind of old fox would pick his son-in-law, how could he pick him.

"Who was the mastermind of infiltrating Jinling City to assassinate our emperor? You took the initiative to invite Ying? Yao Miaoyi asked, secretly thinking that his wife and children are in her arms, and she has all her wealth and status, this Zhang Yu should be the master and faction, how could she take the risk of assassinating Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Yu paused, thought about the wording, and said: "It was the decision of Timur, the king of Henan, to expand the khort, and I ...... It was a dead draw and had to come from. ”

Kuangkuo Timur, Mongolian means green iron, and it is very majestic. However, the Ming Dynasty gave him a generous Chinese name, called Wang Baobao.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the names of the characters were more confusing, for example, the Ming Dynasty called the fleeing Northern Yuan Emperor Emperor Yuan Shun, which was meaningful, but in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, people still called it by the name of the year.

Similarly, Zhang Yu called the king of Henan "Kuangkuo Timur", so Yao Miaoyi's title was: "Oh, it turned out that Wang Baobao called you here, you really know how to calculate, while talking peace, you secretly stabbed the knife." Your king of Henan is a character, but are you willing to be cannon fodder? ”

Zhang Yu was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said: "The peace talks are just a delaying tactic for both sides, this is true for the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true for the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, we all know that there will be countless wars in the future, until one side collapses and there is no power to fight back. It's just that everyone needs to recuperate for the time being, and it's not appropriate to go to war for the time being. ”

"Wang Baobao is determined to support the Golden Family. But I understand that the Golden Family has already fallen into the twilight of the mountains, and even most of them have abandoned the city and fled.

I'm going to talk to the fourth prince just now. As long as Daming promises not to blame the past and let me go back, I will take the whole family and even persuade my father-in-law to surrender to Daming with the army. ”

That's a big stack!

Zhang Yu also pondered for a long time to make this decision. Having had enough of being driven away all day long, he was unwilling to follow the golden family to live in the grasslands and deserts, he was born in Dadu, and his family had long been accustomed to the stable life in the Central Plains, unable to adapt to living in tents and being displaced, and from the current point of view, the Ming Dynasty treated those who surrendered well.

For example, the prince's side concubine Lu family, the entire family of the Lu family was an official eunuch in the Song Dynasty, and later also served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, and after surrendering, he was still an official in the Ming Dynasty, and was highly used by Emperor Hongwu.

There are still intricate in-laws between Zhang Yu's wife, the Wang family, the Lu family, and the officials who defected to the Ming Dynasty.

No wonder Zhang Yu was reluctant to commit suicide, it turned out that the retreat had already been arranged. Yao Miaoyi secretly thought, if I have also experienced such wealth and stability, and I have a wife and children to worry about, I estimate that I will be like Zhang Yu, it is important to save my life, anyway, whether it is the golden family or the old Zhu family sitting in the world, it will not delay people like Zhang Yu to continue to be beautiful.

Moreover, Zhang Yu named and wanted to talk to the fourth prince Zhu Di, not Guo Yangtian, the commander, because he felt that Guo was not qualified enough. Although he took action to catch Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu did not take him seriously.

The dignified second-class privy council, Zhang Yu is not a person who is sincere.

"Please also ask Dr. Yao to quickly inform His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of My plan about my plan." Through the iron gate, Zhang Yu winked at her, "The military plane is fleeting, I have top-secret news to tell the fourth prince." ”

Yao Miaoyi has been in the Mingjiao for many years, and she knows that Zhang Yu has dry goods in her hands, and she is going to submit her name. Hurriedly wrote a secret letter, handed it to Qiu Fu and others who were guarding the prison, and sent it to the palace urgently.

It is estimated that after an hour, Zhu Di came in a hurry, and Zhang Yu did not talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Emperor Shun of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is actually seriously ill and in danger......

That night, Emperor Hongwu ordered the general Li Wenzhong to secretly order troops to hurry, and sure enough, he launched an attack when Emperor Yuan Shun was at a new funeral.

The Northern Expeditionary Army led by General Li Wenzhong was overwhelmed, and won successes one after another, breaking through Yingchang, the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The new emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty not only lost the second capital, but even his concubine and son bought Libala were captured by Li Wenzhong, and he established a new capital in Helin, and set the name of the year as "Xuanguang", which is taken from Du Fu's poem "Northern Expedition":

"Zhou Han was revived, and Xuanguang Guo was wise".

It is a Ming monarch who hopes to become a prosperous country like King Xuan of Zhou and Emperor Guangwu of Han.

In Baihe Hall, Yao Miaoyi heard the fifth prince Zhu Hu sitting in the hall talking about the gossip about these military affairs, and couldn't help laughing:

"Didn't this new emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty know that Emperor Wu of Han's lifelong opponent was from the grassland? Who did his generals Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, and Li Guang kill the most? What era name is not good, you have to take what Xuanguang. ”

The winter rain is sassy, it is already the cold winter of November, the cold is pervasive, and the winter rain falls on the face, colder than ice particles. There was a large copper brazier in Baihetang, because it was raining outside, there was no business, Yao Miaoyi and Zhu Hu and others drank tea and chatted around the brazier.

Zhu Hu said with a smile: "My fourth brother also said the same, the Yuan Dynasty has been in the Central Plains for many years, and he has long stopped thinking of himself as a person from the grassland, and has always thought about 'Wang Shi Beiding Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell Naiweng'." This is the famous sentence of the poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty, decades in Hedong, decades in Hexi, and it is also their turn to be sad and sad, singing 'Thinking of Xiang Yu so far, refusing to cross Jiangdong'. ”

The victory of Li Wenzhong's Northern Expedition seems to have washed away the shadow of Kaiping's king Chang Yuchun's untimely death and illness in Liuhechuan. Inside and outside the court, there was jubilation.

The second prince Zhu Hu, the third prince Zhu Di, the fourth prince Zhu Di, and even the sixth prince Zhu Zhen and other princes have all made military exploits, and Emperor Hongwu is very happy, and he feels that there are successors to the old Zhu family, and he is too lazy to care about the fifth son who is dedicated to studying medicine.

Zhu Hu got the tacit approval of his father, so he devoted himself to medicine even more, and sometimes he didn't go back to the palace at night, so he simply rented a small courtyard near Baihetang, and fell asleep watching all kinds of medical books and miscellaneous prescriptions.

There was this year's new taro buried in the brazier, and Song Xiuer used iron tongs to pick out the roasted taro that was charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and carefully blew and peeled the skin, and the largest one was given to Yao Miaoyi. The youngest, the taro who was about to be coke, was given to Zhu Hu.

Since Zhu Hu treated the beautiful girl who was in a coma that day, Song Xiu'er had a broken girl's heart, and it was difficult to give Zhu Hu a good face.

Zhu Hu is a big man in the rich nest, and he doesn't care about these small details, the soft taro has two bites, and only the hard coke remains, and the taro in Yao Miaoyi's plate is still the size of a fist.

Zhu Lu got up Yaxing, held the charred-like taro and said: "It's sleet outside, and you should cook taro in winter as a new reward. ”

Song Xiu'er was stunned, "I don't read much, so I can't play this." ”

Zhu Hu was a little frustrated, Yao Miaoyi was thinking about saying something to play a round, when Ah Fu, who was guarding the door, raised the splint felt curtain high and said, "The lotus heart girl from Kaiping Wangfu is here." ”

I saw two decent mothers-in-law embracing a young and beautiful girl into Baihetang, this woman was the eldest girl Lianxin next to Chang Jin, the third lady of Kaiping Palace.

Song Xiu'er hurriedly wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, greeted her and said with a smile: "Miss Lianxin, I'm here to buy rose sauce for your young lady, I know you're coming these days, I've wrapped it, this batch of rose sauce is just prepared by our Dr. Yao, using the budding rose buds from Shandong as raw materials, the cost is more than double that of the previous rose petals, the fragrance is fragrant, and I ate a whole can in a few days." ”

During the Double Ninth Festival in September, Yao Miaoyi gave Chang Jin a look at the minor illness of menstrual irregularities, and did not prescribe a prescription, but recommended the secret rose sauce in her own shop.

Song Xiu'er took out two wrapped round-bellied clay pots from the warehouse, "This is your lady's, and this is the one I gave you to eat." ”

Song Xiuer and Lianxin are of the same age, and their temperaments and personalities are also very compatible.

One of the two mothers-in-law of Changfu handed over the money, and the other picked up the clay pot and returned to the carriage, and the maid Lianxin smiled: "It's also a shame that you think about me every time." I have good stuff for you too. ”

Lianxin took out a few exquisite silk flowers from her purse, "This is given to our young lady by the crown princess, the young lady likes to be pure, and in the filial piety period, it is inconvenient to wear these flowers, so she gave them to us, and I picked a few bright ones for you." ”

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Looking at the cluster of fake peonies in her hand, Song Xiuer was full of joy, and put the silk hairpin on her sideburns on the spot, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Lianxin praised: "It's very beautiful, how beautiful Suzhou is, and you are worthy of the peony flower in the hairpin." ”

Song Xiu'er said coquettishly: "It is said that the lotus heart is the most bitter, but you are the opposite, this mouth is sweet as if it has been smeared with honey." ”

Lianxin looked at the delicate and innocent Song Xiu'er, and sighed in her heart: Still the ignorant are fearless, that Zhu Wulang in Baihetang is the fifth prince, and she has never given others a good look.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhu Hu and Yao Miaoyi, who were laughing by the brazier, and Lianxin said, "Are you Dr. Yao free now?" I have something I want to say to her. ”

Song Xiu'er led Lianxin to the inner hall, and Yao Miaoyi went in and asked, "Miss Lianxin, but what's wrong with your body?" ”

"Doctor Yao." Lian Xin bowed respectfully and said, "The slave is not unwell, this time I want to ask Doctor Yao to help make peace." After your fellow countryman Wang Ning Wang Qianhu came back from the Northern Expedition this time, he said that he would not continue to live in Kaiping Wangfu, and he wanted to move out and live alone, and it was useless for the three masters of the palace to persuade him in turn. ”

The three masters of Kaiping Wangfu are the eldest Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, the second Chang Sheng, and the third Chang Sen.

"Oh? Do you want me to convince Wang Ning to live in Kaiping Palace? Yao Miaoyi said lightly: "Is this what you mean, or what do you three young ladies mean?" ”
