Yanwang Zhu Di is not a good-tempered person, which is very similar to his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu.

A series of actions after Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne were obviously constantly challenging his uncle's bottom line.

First of all, he arrested King Yan's brother King Zhou on charges of misconduct in the court, and was exiled directly without saying a word, and ignored King Yan's plea, and directly dealt with it coldly. Immediately after that, two edicts were issued, one was released for the people, and the other was to promote talents, it was like digging the corner of Yan Wang's house with a shovel, and asking while digging, is the location right? If it's not right, just say it, I'll change it.

Just when King Yan kept patting his chest and telling himself to be calm, if we are not angry, we will lose if we are angry, a secret report suddenly came from Beijing, Emperor Jianwen still has a backhand! In the near future, "reliable people" will be dispatched from the DPRK to guard Kaiping, and at that time, it is very likely that under the pretext of insufficient soldiers, the elite armored soldiers of the Yanshan Guard will be dispatched to supplement the border defense.

At this moment, it really made King Yan's head emit hydrogen gas and sparks in his nostrils, so he almost jumped up and pointed at Zhu Yunwen's nose and scolded: What do you want to do this kid?! Digging the corner of Lao Tzu's wall doesn't count, but you have to copy Lao Tzu's house? ! I'm afraid that Lao Tzu won't make a rebellion, right?!

When Emperor Hongwu established a vassal king, he allowed each vassal king to set up three guards, that is, three pro-armies, to defend the palace and protect the personal and property safety of the vassal kings. When necessary, these royal guards can also be used as border troops and guards to defend against foreign enemies, kill traitorous ministers, and suppress rebellions.

Depending on the fiefdom and strength of the feudal kings, the number of guards ranged from 3,000 to 19,000. The less is 9,000, and the more is nearly 60,000. For example, King Yan and King Ning have more power to control the border army, and their strength in their hands should not be underestimated.

The guards of the Gongwei Yan King are Yanshan Wei, which is divided into the left guard of Yanshan, the right guard of Yanshan and the avant-garde of Yanshan. Shen Xuan and Yang Duo are both from Yan Shanwei.

To put it bluntly, these guards are the personal armed forces of King Yan. Emperor Jianwen's idea of fighting Yan Shanwei was very clear, to cut off the wings of King Yan and weaken King Yan's armed power. It is equivalent to directly announcing to King Yan that he will be deprived of his personal property in disguise by legal and illegal means.

King Yan is not in a hurry with Emperor Jianwen, so it's strange.

"Shaft An dare to do this!"

Bang!

Following the tea cup, the table case could not withstand the thunderous anger of King Yan and cracked.

Monk Daoyan's hand twisting the Buddha beads stopped, his gray eyebrows drooped, but his half-closed eyes were shining, and he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for ten years was finally coming.

"Lord, this is probably not the emperor's intention, it must be a traitor in the court."

Dao Yan's words were like pouring a scoop of cold water on King Yan's anger, and when the fire was slightly extinguished, he immediately poured a large bowl of oil.

"Oh?" The anger in the form of Yan Wang gradually dissipated, his hands clenched into fists, and he was behind his back, ignoring the broken tea cup on the ground, and slowly paced.

Not the emperor's intention? It's a joke! He watched his nephew grow up, who doesn't know who he is?

There is a traitor in the middle of the court? What's this......

King Yan's steps stopped, and he looked at Dao Yan with questions, and the monk was already smiling with a Buddha face, with a detached posture.

King Yan really wants to pout, pretend, you pretend again!

"Lord, the emperor is young, and he must have been confused by the traitors in the court, disregarding human ethics and family affection, and violating the emperor's order. As a close relative of the emperor, the prince is eloquent and strategic, and has the talent of the top, just to destroy the evil and the evil, and to help the community. ”

Yan Wang did not answer, but walked to the table and sat down slowly.

Dao Yan didn't know how many hundred or thousands of times he had said similar things, but this time, he listened more seriously than any of them.

"Destroy the evil and help the society?"

"Exactly. Emperor Daxing has an order, and there are traitorous ministers in the court, and the vassal kings from all over the country should lead troops into Beijing according to the emperor's secret order, and the Qing monarch is on the side! ”

"Rong Gu thinks again."

"Lord Wang!"

"In March next year, the lone general will enter the court to pay homage to the new monarch." With calloused fingers, he knocked on the table one by one, "Wait until then, and then make a final decision." ”

"Lord Wang, don't miss the opportunity, don't wait for me! This is a great plan, my lord! ”

"Needless to say!"

King Yan stood up and strode away, his black boots stepping on the stone bricks, and the hem of his red regular clothes finally disappeared behind the door.

Looking at the wide open door, the anxious look on Dao Yan's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile of determination and the imminent fulfillment of his wish.

Sit cross-legged, twist the Buddha beads, and close your eyes slightly.

Hell is not empty, how to become a Buddha. If I don't go to hell, who will?

Ten thousand laws come as they come, my Buddha is compassionate, Amitabha.

The sound of chanting sounded again in the house, and the eunuch guarding the door hesitated to look at it, and waved his hand behind him, "The Buddha is chanting, wait." ”

The two little eunuchs agreed, stepped aside, and did not dare to speak again.

In September, as the wheat harvest approached, the border guards became more and more tightly guarded. The patrol horses did not stop, and the border troops on the pier platform were even more waiting.

Since talking to Meng Hu and the others, Meng has been firm in his thoughts.

If you want to achieve what you want, you must dare to take risks!

The Han Dynasty is a marquis, a glorious life, a good land, and a blessed family, he has no choice.

Since Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang decided to follow Meng to make a career, they were no longer afraid of anything. When he learned that Meng was not in office, he ran to the Department and the Miscellaneous Bureau twice in three days, and after taking the initiative to ask the reason, his face was pale.

"What Twelve Lang said before was just lip service, but he still can't believe the two of us?"

"Why did the fourth cousin say this?"

"Since you have trusted both of us, you should command me to do these things. Twelve Lang only serves in the army, and he can directly entrust the two of me with miscellaneous matters! ”

Meng scratched his chin, "Really? ”

"Seriously!"

"Sure enough?"

"Sure enough!"

"That's good."

Meng Shishilang motioned for the two cousins to come closer, and ordered like and this again, and took out the drawings hidden in his arms, in order to get some paper, pen and ink, and see the sky and Liu Shi with a smiling face, is it easy for him?

It was also difficult to get to the door on the side of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, although the deputy envoy who was eager to improve was sent home, the craftsmen in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau were still affected, and they were much more cautious when taking on external work. Knowing that what Meng Zongqi wanted to make was a weapon, he shook his head again and again. Meng Hao said that he would not give him a convenience. If it weren't for Meng Zongqi saying that the matter had been reported to his superiors, I am afraid that he would be sent to the Thousand Households immediately.

Just kidding, can building a weapon be the same as building a house? Even if the main material is wood, it doesn't work!

The weapons of the border army are all standard, and everything has corresponding specifications, how wide the knife is, how long the gun is, and the name of the craftsman must be engraved on the long medallion!

Even if the deputy Qianhu agreed, it wouldn't work out, and this matter was not negotiable!

There was no way, Meng could only entrust this matter to Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang, and sighed while explaining, I am afraid that the treasure money brought to Biansai will not be much left this time.

However, as long as you can carry it this time, there will be treasure money, copper coins, gold and silver!

Moreover, treasure banknotes are depreciated banknotes, so it is better to spend them early.

Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang found a few strong men who they had made friends with on weekdays, and after guarding the fields, they went up the mountain to cut wood and cut wood, and went home to work overnight. Fortunately, the city has been getting more and more nervous recently, walking on the road, the sound of sharpening knives is endless, and the behavior of Meng Hu and Meng Qingjiang has not attracted much attention from others at all.

Deputy Shen Qianhu still patrols back and forth on the grassland every day, and it has almost become a habit to go to the lookout platform guarded by Meng Shu to replenish supplies. Things are not taken in vain, and in many things, Deputy Shen Qianhu is willing to make it convenient for Meng Kai. The effect is not significant at present, Meng Shishilang does not mind, what he intends to do is a long-term investment, not a one-shot deal.

Frequent exchanges with patrol cavalry also made Meng much more well-informed. Judging from Shen Xuan's increasingly solemn expression, I am afraid that the day when the northern neighbors came to threshk grass is getting closer and closer.

"The Tartars are coming."

After sending Shen Xuan away, Meng sat down against the wall, picked up half of the buckwheat cake that he hadn't eaten before, and ate it with cold water.

"When it comes to the spirit, Meng Mou said that he will not let you die in vain, and he will do what he says."

"General Banner Benevolence!"

"But there is also a saying that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is not enough to rely on Meng's promise, you have to work hard yourself, right?"

"The general flag teaches a lesson!"

"Also, is it enough to save your life? Don't you want to make meritorious contributions? Don't want to get promoted and make a fortune? Don't want to get a few more acres of land? Don't want to get some cloth and salt for your family? ”

"General Flag ......"

"Do you want to?"

"Yes."

"Do you want it?"

"I want to!"

"That's good!" Meng finished eating the last bite of the cake and clapped his hands, "It's good if you have determination, ...... you have determination."

Before Meng finished speaking, the soldiers on the second floor of the bunker reported that another horse team had come.

"It's the border army, the fresh face."

"Haven't seen it?"

"Report the general flag, no."

At the foot of Duntai Mountain, Yang Duo and others, who were ordered to rush from Wanquanwei to deliver the letter, also saw this unusual bunker.

"Have you ever seen a bunker like this along the way?"

"No, I didn't." One of the general banners who followed Yang Duo replied, "I saw a few piers where forts were being built. ”

"Yes."

"Baihu, do you want to step forward?"

"Not necessarily."

"Yes."

The military situation was urgent, and there was no time to delay, Yang Duo turned his horse's head, and the horse team galloped directly towards Kaipingwei.

Meng in the bunker stood on a high place, looked at the roaring horse team, and shrugged his shoulders, "Passing by, we have nothing to do." Where did you just go? Come, let's move on. ”

At the same time, Meng Qingjiang and Meng Hu in the city finally created the "weapon" that Meng wanted, one arm after another wooden thorns. Extremely hard wood is selected and brushed with tung oil, and it is quite strong after drying. The ordinary sword made a sound of gold and iron when it was slashed, and after a few blows, it only left a few gaps.

"It's done!"
