27. Retractor

Zhu Di shook his head matter-of-factly, but did not agree, I was a little annoyed, "Stingy! It sounds so good in his mouth, it turns out that he is just coaxing me! ”

Zhu Di said seriously, "You want to be a snail girl, how can you be a female general?" ”

I simply turned around and ignored him until he moved me over, and then I stopped being angry with him, and said, "Okay, okay, it's getting late, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Go, go, go. ”

"I don't need you to rush, can't I go by myself?" Zhu Di lowered his head and walked out with a smile.

It is August, the wood is fragrant, this is the festival of reunion is coming, in previous years this time is the time of the palace is lively, but this year is unusual. The common people in Beiping City gradually became a little enlightened and vaguely knew that the Beiping City where they were located had changed hands, and they were a little anxious at first, but in the past few days, they learned that the imperial court had sent troops to "suppress Yan", and after knowing that their situation was closely related to the Yan Wangjun, they also began to get close to the Yan Wangfu, and there were more squires and local tyrants who spontaneously organized to give the Yan army military salaries and send silver. It can also be seen that Zhu Di has been in Beiping for so many years, and he is indeed very famous.

On 14 August, Zhu Di ordered all soldiers to distribute moon cakes, rice and other gifts, which could be taken directly home, given to his wife and children, or to his parents. It wasn't until the evening of August 14 that Zhu Di officially ordered the Mid-Autumn Festival to take action and take the three fortresses in one fell swoop!

These soldiers have adapted to the life of facing battles on the battlefield at any time, and they have already passed the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.

On the 15th of August, Zhu Di was still very complacent, as in the past, he also set up a few tables of vegetarian banquets on the high platform in the palace, only the people in the palace were together, except for the eve of the army and the female relatives in the palace mentioned it once, and he never said anything outside the palace to the house.

Today, it is only said that the wood in the wood garden is blooming very well, better than in previous years. Dao Yan has moved to live in the palace, so he also bought him a few dishes today, and let him sit next to Zhu Di, hearing Zhu Di say this, Dao Yan smiled and said, "The prince doesn't know, this is the will of heaven, and even the wood flowers in the house are implying that the prince is not a thing in the pool, and he will have great plans in the future." ”

Zhu Di is not fond of listening to people, and he is indifferent to this, but the female relatives often invite some sisters-in-law into the house to say, they believe in the words of monks or outsiders, so Dao Yan said this, which made them feel comfortable, and nodded to Dao Yan one by one, and Dao Yan was even more proud, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a good day!" If the prince chooses to fight today, he will definitely win! The old man first toasts the prince with a cup, and wishes the prince success! As he spoke, he stood up, picked up a wine glass to Zhu Di, toasted him from afar, and drank it all on his back.

Zhu Di just sat abruptly, with a smile on his face, and also raised a glass of wine, "Thank you, Master Jiyan." ”

Xu Yunhua didn't say anything at the banquet, but rewarded everyone with watermelons after the banquet and left. I couldn't stay longer, so I ate two slices of watermelon and left.

On this day, it seems that there is no difference from any previous year, until the evening, Zhu Di personally rode his horse to the city gate, sent the soldiers out on the battle, he stood on the city gate, held high a altar of daughter red, and raised his voice, "Brothers! It's up to you tonight! The traitorous minister is a minister, and he is killed by the order of heaven! After drinking the jar of wine of this king, this king is here to wait for your triumphant return! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di poured the wine in the jar to the ground, and threw the jar to the ground, full of fragments, like the resolute faith of the strong men, and there was no turning back to find it again.

The soldiers collectively raised their arms and shouted, "Woo! Here! Here! That strong voice resounded through Beiping City, adding courage to countless people in this night.

Zhang Yu was magnificent, very good at attacking, and led his troops to attack Yang Song, Ma Sanbao was clever and cunning, and acted quickly, so he was sent to ambush the bottom of the bridge to block Pan Song's retreat. And I accompanied Zhu Di, on the city wall, waiting for good news.

On the city wall, covered with a layer of bright moonlight, this city gate has been in and out dozens of times, but I have never sat on the top of the city gate and looked down on Beiping City. More than 700 years later, Beijing City has become the most prosperous capital in China because of the man who drinks indifferently in front of him, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic, and now more than 700 years ago, Beiping City is quiet like a baby in the moonlight, which is the starting point of her destiny.

Zhu Di ordered someone to bring up a table, and then took out a pot of wine, and asked me to pour a glass for him, while he was singing quietly. I saw that he was really lonely between his eyebrows, so I also poured a cup and said with a smile, "All of the prince's subordinates are brave and fierce generals, and with such a precise deployment, tonight's battle will definitely be successful. ”

When Zhu Di heard me say this, he smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, put the cup down, walked to the edge of the city wall, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance. That land is actually dark and you can't see anything, but Zhu Di's eyes are full of affection, and there is a thin layer of mist under his eyes, and I can't tell whether he is sad or happy, sad or worried.

I knew that he didn't want to talk to people now, and that I was just silently accompanying me here. Seeing that there was a black black tubular guy on the table, about ten inches long, he didn't remember what it was for a while, so he picked it up and played with it, Zhu Di turned around and saw it, and said softly, "This is clairvoyance, a precious thing from the Persian country, the Ming Dynasty only has two, one is here for me, and one is in the palace, you pick it up and play with it, but be careful not to break it."

I was happy that it turned out to be a telescope, a toy that even children disdain to play with in modern times, and here it has become a treasure. Zhu Di saw that I was a little disdainful, and said, "You don't know the benefits of this thing, come, I'll teach you." ”

Saying that, he walked to my side, pulled me up, to the other side of the city wall, that wall is Beiping, at this time the night has just arrived, it is the time when the lights are on, although there is no modern neon flashing lights, but it is also the lights of thousands of lights, Zhu Di held the telescope to look at the city of Beiping, and then walked to me to teach me to use, I couldn't help but laugh and pretended that I had not seen this thing, he stood behind me, two hands around my body, put the clairvoyance on my eyes, said, "Close the other eye, to be able to see clearly. ”

I followed the words, and sure enough, I saw the night scene of Beiping more clearly, and I was fascinated for a while, and after watching it for a long time, Zhu Di withdrew the clairvoyance, and said with a smile, "At this time, I am still thinking about playing." ”

I wanted to quarrel with him, thinking that he didn't know what the future would be, so I was still a little worried about tonight's battle, and I was afraid that I wasn't in the mood, so I thought of a way to make him happy, "Lord Wang, you just said that the entire Ming Dynasty is just like these two clairvoyants?" ”

"yes. Can I still lie to you? ”

"That's it, it's still the Persian tribute, my dignified Ming Dynasty is full of talented people, there was no convenience earlier, and now that there is a mold, can't you imitate it?"

"You've always been a toad yawning, and you're very loud. You look at this thing, although it is not big, but it is very heavy, it is made of copper and iron, there is no mechanism at all, if you want to disassemble it to see the skill, you have to chisel it, and then I am afraid that the skill will not be seen, and this thing will be directly broken into slag. When the first emperor received this thing, he called a number of royal palace masters to come and see it, and he also wanted to do more and distribute it to various troops, so that he could have clairvoyance. ”

I thought in my heart, I have been in China, has been able to produce a large number of people, the principle of this thing is just a lens and magnifying glass principle, Chinese has always been known for its cleverness, the reason why I did not invent the telescope, in the final analysis, is because China does not have the technology to make glass, as long as you can burn glass, the glass can be ground into a concave mirror, you can make a simple telescope, and in the past when I was in chemistry class, the teacher said that burning porcelain and burning glass is actually a line apart, so, it is not difficult to do a few clairvoyants, So I patted my chest and said to Zhu Di, "Then these palace masters can be driven out of the palace, and they have no ability at all." ”

Zhu Di said "oh", "Hearing you say this, you are very sure, is it possible that there are so many capable people who are not as good as you, what they can't do, can you make it?" ”

I snapped my fingers and said with a smile, "Lord, you just need to give me a porcelain-burning cave, and I will show off my skills a little, otherwise you will always laugh at me for being a woman, as if it is useless." ”

Zhu Di didn't care, and said with a smile, "What is the cave, ten can also be given to you, if you can really make this clairvoyance, I will ......" Speaking of this, Zhu Di paused, and he laughed himself, probably couldn't think of any reward for me for a while.

"What are you? Let's not talk big about it, I made the clairvoyant, what are you trying to give me, okay? ”

Zhu Di nodded, "That's very good." ”

"Come on, come on, pull the hook!"

Zhu Di's face turned red, and he looked behind him, several sentries were standing far away, staring at the sentry intently, but he didn't pay attention to our side, seeing that he was embarrassed, I almost laughed, "Don't worry!" Come on. ”

Zhu Di had to learn from me, stretched out a little thumb, hooked it with my little thumb, and hit my thumb again, I deliberately read slowly, "Pull ~ hook ~ hang ~ hanging, one ~ hundred ~ years ~ no ~ Xu ~ change." ”

After I finished speaking, Zhu Di hurriedly retracted his hand and muttered in a low voice, "This king's words are the best promise, as long as this king is not dead, you can take what I told you to come to me to fulfill, why be so naΓ―ve!" ”
