Meng was worried about the white strips piled up in front of him, and Zhu Gaochi was the same.

Unable to solve the task assigned by King Yan, Zhu Gaochi couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, and his weight began to plummet again. Within a few days, the waistline was impressively reduced by two inches.

Is this worth it?

Princess Yan cared about her son, and specially called Wang An, what's wrong with the son? Is there trouble in government affairs, or is there someone in the official family who is not obedient? If there is, it must be slapped to death!

"Back to the princess, there is no such thing." Wang An cautiously replied, "The prince explained one thing to the prince before he started, and the prince has not yet come up with a way, so he is a little anxious." ”

"Oh." It's not that someone is dishonest, then it's not a big problem. Interfering in the defense of Beiping is explained by King Yan personally, and Princess Yan has never asked about other government affairs.

It's a good thing for my son to work hard, but he can't help but pay attention to his body.

"On weekdays, you should pay more attention."

"The slave obeys."

Wang An withdrew from the side hall, wiped his sweat, didn't go far, and saw the familiar face next to the princess again, his mouth was bitter, but his face couldn't show a trace.

The other party took a few steps to meet him, saluted first, and said, "The king listens well." ”

Wang An knew that the princess would not call him over directly, so it was taboo, but he didn't expect to meet the princess here. The princess sent someone to ask, but he didn't have a reason to hide it.

"The prince is busy with government affairs, so it has been reduced, the daily meal is still as usual, and it has been reported to the princess, please don't worry about the princess."

"Since the king heard that the matter is so, our family will go back to report it, and the princess should rest assured when she hears it."

The two saluted again, smiled in front of each other, turned around and pouted, something!

Princess Yan leaned on the couch, put down the book in her hand, and took the decoction offered by the palace people, "Is it by the side of the princess?" ”

"Back to the princess, yes."

"What did Wang An say?"

"It's just that the prince is busy with official business."

"He's a smart guy who knows what to say and what not to say."

Princess Yan picked up the medicine bowl and threw it up, and the palace people hurriedly sent the preserved fruit, slightly diluting the bitter taste in her mouth.

The 500,000 troops of the imperial court besieged Beiping City, and Princess Yan wore armor and went to the city in person.

King Yan went on an expedition, if there was no princess, the prince might not be able to convince the public. As a result, Beiping City was defended, but Princess Yan fell ill.

The royal doctor was diagnosing the pulse with the good doctor, and they all said that they were suffering from wind and cold, and they drank a few doses of medicine, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The princess didn't want the prince and the prince brothers to worry, so she kept holding on, and everyone was reduced.

The princess didn't say that she helped the princess share the burden, but was only busy competing with the princess's side concubine, and the palace people looked cold.

"As you get older, you become more and more sophisticated." Princess Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyebrows were dyed tired, "When you were a teenager, you wouldn't be like this if you ran in the snow for a day. Now it's just a little wind, and I can't stand it. ”

The palace people didn't dare to make a sound, and stood quietly.

"Let's all go down, I'll rest."

"Yes."

The door closed, Princess Yan leaned quietly on the couch, closed her eyes slightly, and looked nostalgic.

Teenagers, flower-like age, and can't go back.

Outside the door, the palace people and the eunuchs all relaxed their steps, looking at the ice ridge under the eaves of the corridor in a daze.

The princess's illness is always not good, I heard that the newly invited doctor Zhao in the palace has good medical skills, why not invite him to consult the princess?

Towards evening, it snowed heavily again in Beiping City.

The old people all say that Ruixue is a good year, but this kind of weather, let alone a good year, is thankful that it is not a disaster year.

Meng locked himself in the wing, occasionally paying attention to Mr. Gao's life, and spent most of the rest of his time worrying about the box sent by Zhu Gaochi.

It is impossible to completely repay the debt, and it is even more impossible to cash it all out. Zhu Gaochi said that he couldn't give so many sheep, not because he was stingy, but because he really couldn't do it. What if you give some of it first, or do you discount it with something else?

Meng thought about it for a long time, and thought of a lot of ways, but none of them were too good.

The Mongols are not stupid, they may not really be stuck, in the final analysis, they may just want to see if King Yan is trustworthy.

In the cold winter, give them all the sheep, where to raise them? Who will raise it?

By the way, gave the pasture? Don't say that Zhu Di disagrees, Zhu Gaochi can't pass this hurdle.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both have the same door-picking personality, where can Zhu Gaochi be generous?

In history, after the death of Emperor Yongle, Wu Liangha thought that the mountain on his head was gone, and he could jump a few times, and came to the door with the IOU when Zhu Di raised the army, and was still chased back by Zhu Gaochi.

Grassland?

If there is such a thing, Renzong said that he did not know the way.

Got an IOU?

Renzong continued to say that he spent most of his time guarding Beiping, and he really didn't know how the IOU came from, whether it was promised by his father.

The leader of Wuliangha rolled and played tricks, Zhu Gaochi did not directly swing a knife like his father, but persuaded with good words, the bad debts accumulated over the years need to be verified, he has already arranged manpower, and there should be results soon, so he has to be a little patient.

As for how long, days, months, or even years, he can't say.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you really want to grab it, Daddy can clean it up, and he can do it!

You can't lead the troops in person, and there is no shortage of people who can lead the troops under your hands! Besides, my father has been in power for so many years and has not come to the door, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he came to sprinkle and roll, did he see that he was a bully? Do you really think that he has no temper because he has a wide heart and a fat body?

Zhu Gaochi's face sank, and the leader of Wuliangha, Lisuo, got up, not daring to roll anymore. He returned to the station in a gloomy manner, and secretly muttered to people, the Zhu family is really not an ordinary two-way door-picking!

To do things for Zhu Di's father and son, who are also picking the door, Meng naturally has to think twice.

If you think of a way, you can't get the credit yourself, you have to put the stamp on Zhu Gaochi's head.

The work was given to Zhu Gaochi by Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaochi only consulted Meng's opinion, not handed over the whole thing to him to do. Meng thought about the difference very clearly.

Li Jinglong and his subordinates competed for merit, and at most they were said to have a bad character. He dared to rob Zhu Gaochi of the credit, and his life would be bleak to the end.

The simplest reason, the general manager gave the department manager an important job, the department manager racked his brains and didn't come up with a way, a small staff member jumped up, just this thing, simple! Look at me!

Three times five divided by two, the matter was solved, and then I went directly to the general manager to show my merits.

It's not called being smart, it's called being stupid, it's still stupid.

The matter dragged on for three days, and Zhu Gaochi sent Wang An to ask a few times, but Meng Du had a sad face and repeatedly said, difficult, this matter is really difficult! Solving Gao Wei is just a little clever and not a trick, this matter is related to the great cause of the prince, and he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has not been able to come up with a good solution. Humble and courageous, can the prince point in a general direction?

"It's hard for Meng Yi." Hearing Wang An's return, Zhu Gaochi was not angry, and walked around the warm pavilion with his hands behind his back, "There is a way to go and ask Meng Yan to come over and consult the details together." ”

Wang An promised to go out, did not send another person, trotted all the way, and personally invited someone.

"Meng Yanshi, the prince is invited."

Meng Gang had just taken the medicine, and his expression was very bitter without pretending. Wang Anxin said secretly, it seems that he really can't think of a way, if the prince is to blame, shouldn't our family help say a few good words?

"Wait a minute, the king."

Meng poured two mouthfuls of water, but his mouth was still bitter, but he didn't dare to continue to delay, picked up the box handed to him by the prince, and went out with Wang An.

The two walked quickly, and when they arrived outside the warm pavilion, Wang An was fine, and Meng was already a little panting.

After the ceremony, Meng walked into the warm pavilion, his face full of shame, "I have failed the expectations of the prince of the world, please condemn the prince!" ”

Zhu Gaochi personally helped Meng up from the ground and said warmly: "Why did Meng Yan say this? At the end of the day, it's still hard for you to be alone. Meng Yanshi's loyalty, Lone is a knower. ”

Meng Zhilu said that he did the right thing.

It is good to offer advice, but the rafters that come out can not do more, and the appropriate clumsiness can go further.

"The son of the world is loved, and the humble position is really ......"

As he spoke, his eyes began to redden.

The acting skills are already perfect.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly comforted Meng a few words, and said that this matter was originally given to him by King Yan, and it was good that Meng could come up with a way, but it was nothing if he couldn't think of it, he would always remember Meng's loyalty.

"The son of the world is loved, and he is willing to be ruined!"

With a bang, Meng Shishilang's knee touched the ground. The ground of bluestone bricks hurts when smashed on.

Acting always has to play a full set, this little pain, I can stand it!

"Meng Yan, hurry up!"

was helped up by Zhu Gaochi again, Meng wiped away his tears, and accepted it when he saw it. The play can't be overdone, it's almost enough, it's too much.

"Lone has come up with a solution, but he can't make up his mind." Zhu Gaochi sat back on the stool and tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "Why don't you help Meng Yan take a closer look." ”

"I don't dare."

"Meng Yi doesn't have to be too humble." Zhu Gaochi smiled, "It's not a good way to come up with it, but it's just one word, drag." ”

"Drag?"

"Yes." Zhu Gaochi nodded and continued, "It is definitely not possible to give so many sheep at once." Not to mention that there is no one in the lonely hand, even if there is, the lonely will not let them take what they want. ”

Meng didn't say anything, showing just the right amount of surprise and a little puzzlement.

"Lone understands your loyalty, and you are wholeheartedly working for your father. Those Mongols," Zhu Gaochi paused, "Since you can betray King Ning, who knows if you will switch to the imperial court!" They must be pressed and let them know that their father is willing to use them, and they are a knife on the battlefield. Otherwise......"

Zhu Gaochi didn't continue, and Meng Shengsheng was clever.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, Zhu Di's son, and the future Mingrenzong, who dares to underestimate him, is absolutely and looking for death.

"Lone thinks so, what does Meng Yishi think?"

After thinking about it for a while, Meng followed Zhu Gaochi's thoughts and put forward a few supplementary suggestions, "I think that some of their requirements can be properly met. Hang them, so that they can do things better for the prince. ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaochi smiled, "Lone thinks the same way." Grace and power, the father handed over this matter to Lone, and Lone naturally could not disappoint the father. ”

This topic is a bit deep, and it must have extended meanings, so Meng decisively shut up.

"It's just that there must always be an accuracy of how much to give."

Zhu Gaochi began to knock on the table again, he had thought about changing it to tea or other things that Duoyan Sanwei needed, but he felt that it was inappropriate. In this way, it will inevitably take some time, and it will be a problem if the Mongols take advantage of it to raise prices.

"Son of the world, I have some thoughts about this."

"Tell me about it."

"The lowly government believes that the palace does not have enough sheep to exchange with the border people. The remnants of the Yuan are in a mess, and some tribes with little power are in danger and have the will to move south. ”

"You mean?"

"The prince can ask the prince to allow several tribes to move south. Emperor Tai-Zugao once ordered the establishment of a thousand households to settle the attached tribes. They could exchange grain and tea for their cattle and sheep, and through these tribes, they could also connect with other tribes on the steppe. How many cattle and sheep you want is just a matter of words. The prince and the prince have saved the lives of all their people, and they shall serve the prince and the prince. ”

The asking price of the grassland tribes who moved inward was definitely lower than that of Duoyan Sanwei, and when they entered the palace guarding the thousand households, everything was decided by King Yan, and they didn't want to serve? Weigh it yourself.

Meng Yue said that Zhu Gaochi's eyes brightened.

"Meng is a great talent!" Zhu Gao slapped the table violently, "That's right!" His clan warriors can also be used by their fathers to charge into battle! ”

Meng hurriedly said: "The son of the world is wise, but he didn't expect it!" ”

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his hands, the problem of sheep was temporarily solved, and he won a new force for his father, and he could also give Duoyan Sanwei a warning, so that they could understand that there are not a few people who want to work here in King Yan, and if they dare to take Qiao, the salary will not be given to you, and the job will be smashed for you!

This move can weaken the power of the Northern Yuan, which is really a great good!

The more Zhu Gaochi thought about it, the more excited he became, and Meng complimented him a few words at the right time, the prince is wise, and the son is really wise. Only the prince can come up with such an idea, who else can control these Mongols except His Royal Highness King Yan?

"In the final analysis, it is thanks to Meng Yanshi."

"I don't dare to be a lowly position, it is the prince who has come up with a good way, and the prince must believe in the talent of the prince, so he will hand over this matter to the prince."

Meng smiled very sincerely, and did not forget to praise King Yan's wisdom and martial arts while filming the world's horses.

The son of the world is very intelligent, a must!

King Yan is brave and brave, absolutely!

The problem was solved, and Zhu Gaochi was very happy.

Meng said a basket of good words, and the sycophants were just right, and Zhu Gaochi was even happier.

People like to listen to good words, Emperor Jianwen is like this, and Zhu Gaochi is not exempt from vulgarity. The difference is that Emperor Jianwen was brought into the pit by Huang Zicheng's kind words, and he didn't dare to do this to Zhu Gaochi when he killed Meng.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi's kind words were very happy to listen to, and they were also very "safe".

"This matter will be reported to my father, and I will definitely remember Meng Yi's deeds."

"Humble to thank the son!"

"It doesn't have to be that between you and me."

That's it for you and me?

Meng was immediately grateful, and his expression was very good.

When he left, the smile on Zhu Gaochi's face deepened, he was a smart person, no wonder his father valued him.

It is good if this person can be used for himself.

If not...... It should not be taken away by the second brother.

If he followed his father wholeheartedly, he didn't have to think much about it.

Putting away the smile on his face, Zhu Gaochi began to think about how to write the letter to King Yan.

Back in the room, leaning against the door, Meng let out a long breath.

slapped his face twice and dealt with the Zhu family, it was really not easy.

Maybe he should be sick for a few more days?

Shaking his head, this level has just passed today, so don't be smart.

Outside the city of Ulju, the Yan army set off again.

Datong sent a battle report, commanding Teng Ju to lead 10,000 subordinates to surrender. King Yan immediately reorganized the army, ordered to take Juyong Pass, and returned to Beiping.

Zhu Di knows Li Jinglong, and the 10,000 people under Teng Ju are the cannon fodder he sent. Whether there will be cannon fodder coming to the door again depends on how idiotic Li Jinglong is. As long as he dares to come, Zhu Di will dare to accept it. The good things that are delivered to the door in vain, no one will push them out.

When passing the Juyong Pass, Zhu Di was still thinking about whether to send some more information to Li Jinglong, so that he could continue to show merit to the imperial court, but unfortunately the news from Dezhou City killed his idea.

Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, had already led his army into Texas.

Li Jinglong can be despised but Guo Ying must pay attention to it.

Marquis Wuding has arrived, will Marquis An Lu and Duke Wei be far away? Compared with these people, Du Du Ping'an made Zhu Di even more jealous.

Because of his understanding of Li Jinglong, Zhu Di was able to break through the 500,000 southern army, win successive battles, and drive the imperial army's army out of Hebei.

Ping'an is the righteous son of Emperor Tai-Zugao, who has fought with Zhu Di many times and is quite familiar with King Yan's military methods. Coupled with a Xu Huizu who had trained in Beiping, the next battle would definitely not be as easy as before.

It's definitely not a pleasant thing to fight against someone who knows you.

I'm afraid it's impossible. How to continue to win battles, think carefully.

If the imperial army is defeated, you can come back with the whole army, and if you are defeated, I am afraid that you will never recover.

King Yan sat in the big tent, and for the first time since he raised his troops, he was at a loss in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi's letter arrived at this time, and looking at the content of the letter, a smile suddenly appeared on King Yan's face.

"Good!" King Yan stroked his short mustache, "He is worthy of being a lonely son!" That's a great way! ”

Zhu Gaochu Zhu Gaosui and other generals were waiting outside the tent, and vaguely heard the voice of King Yan praising the prince from the tent, Zhu Gaosui subconsciously went to see Zhu Gaoxu, but found that Zhu Gaochu's face was ordinary, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Second brother."

"Huh?"

"Father's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng He walked out of the big tent and said to everyone, "The prince has summoned you." ”

In the army, Gaoyang Junwang and Zhu Gaosui did not receive much preferential treatment, and they also charged on the battlefield, and discussed their merits with their first rank. If it weren't for Zhang Yuzhu and other generals to say it again and again, Yan Wang Bacheng would let his two sons go to the grassroots to experience life and start from small soldiers.

Zhu Gaoxu pressed Zhu Gaosui's shoulder, his hands were forced, and he said in a low voice: "Everything listens to my father, remember?" ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded.

Since his father raised the army, the son and the second brother have changed a lot. When he was in Zhending City, the second brother would occasionally mention what Meng Shishilang said on the way to Nanjing, and there was praise in the words, but there were also a little complicated.

Zhu Gaosui didn't quite understand, so he simply didn't think about it.

The emperor of Nanjing is still sitting on the dragon chair, and there is still an army of the imperial court in Texas, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

It's really the day when the son of the world and the second brother compete, and it's never too late to decide.

In the big tent, King Yan first reported the secret reports of Nanjing and Dezhou to the generals, and the words focused on Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and the governor Ping'an.

Xu Huizu is the son of Xu Da, and the tiger father has no dog son is not applicable to Li Jinglong, but it is applicable to him.

"When I was training in Beiping, in terms of tactics and strategy, Wei Guogong was on par with Gu."

King Yan admires Xu Huizu, but he is completely jealous of Ping'an, and he is not very polite when he speaks. He has a lot of support for peace, but this kid turned around to help Emperor Jianwen deal with himself!

"Ping An erector, who has been fighting with the lonely for many years, has repeatedly been out of the jam, if he is a pioneer, it will be a big disaster!"

After talking about these two characters that must be paid attention to, the expressions of the generals became extremely serious.

Immediately afterwards, King Yan changed his words, "Although these two people are brave, Li Jiujiang and the others are all husbands, although the southern army is numerous, but the generals are not specialized, and the government orders are different, so there is no need to be afraid!" ”

It is difficult to stand alone, and the courage of a few people does not mean anything. What can be done if there are many soldiers in the south, there is a lot of food, and there are excellent weapons? It's all ours if you grab it!

"The food and salary of the first soldier is sufficient for my ears."

In short, don't be afraid, follow the lonely king to have meat to eat!

King Yan ended his speech with these words, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui took the lead in cheering for their father, applauding desperately, with tears of excitement in their eyes, and their slaps were red.

The generals in the tent also raised their arms and shouted, the prince is wise! Chitose Wang!

Shen Xuan, who rushed from Datong, took Teng Ju outside the tent to ask for a meeting, and just happened to hear Zhu Neng's big voice leading the way in shouting, "Copy the guy, rob him X!" ”

Shen Xuan was very calm, but Teng Ju was stunned.

This is the big tent of King Yan, the base of the rebel gang?

Those who can pull the flag and rebel are really not ordinary people.

nanking

Emperor Jianwen looked at the music sent by Li Jinglong, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were dismissed from office, and they were not allowed to enter and leave the palace easily, and Emperor Jianwen could only consult from others. Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and Wang Ning, the concubine of Wei, who had not yet left Beijing, were summoned at the same time, and when they learned the content of Li Jinglong's recital, they were both silent.

"What does Wei Guogong think?"

With his previous experience, Zhu Yunwen put a question mark on Li Jinglong's whole person, and he didn't dare to believe it easily.

Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and said, "Cao Guogong sent 10,000 foot soldiers to command Teng Ju to lead the army into Datong, which should be the truth. ”

In other words, in addition to this, what attack on Datong to weaken the Yan army, and what soldiers and soldiers fought to behead more than 1,000 people, are all nonsense.

Emperor Jianwen turned to Wang Ning, who agreed with Xu Huizu's opinion.

Li Jinglong's recital was on the table, and the three of them were relatively speechless.

Without Huang Zicheng, who lifted a hammer, the pit on Emperor Jianwen's head was immediately reduced. recognized the essence of Li Jinglong's straw bale, and adopted a series of thunderous measures, but he still couldn't make up for the serious mistakes he made before.

For the sake of face, Emperor Jianwen did not remove Li Jinglong's position as commander, thinking that with the addition of Marquis Wuding and others, the army of the imperial court should be able to sweep away the Yan army. But now, Emperor Jianwen is not sure.

He found that Li Jinglong was not just a straw bale, but had more pits in his head than himself.

Is there really no problem with such a person sitting in the position of a manager?
