Zhu Di is a stubborn person, and he will not change what he recognizes easily.

For example, he thought that the heir chosen by his father was not qualified, so he did not talk about the army to seize the throne, and the result was successful.

Another example is that he always looks at the remnants of the Yuan unpleasantly, all kinds of suppression, all kinds of bullying, and the last thing is to extinguish the other party.

Although the descendants of the future generations were not angry, they made a change in the civil fort and buried hundreds of thousands of elites of the Ming Dynasty. However, before Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had always occupied a strategic advantage over the remnant Yuan tribes, and it was indeed an indisputable fact that the remnant Yuan tribes were suppressed.

Emperor Hongwu laid the foundation, and Emperor Yongle carried it forward.

If you ask the grassland tribes to choose the most difficult neighbors, Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle are definitely among the best.

It's a pity that Ming Renzong didn't inherit his father's glorious tradition, and Ming Xuanzong didn't live a few more years, Ming Yingzong ...... Don't mention it, the change of Tumubao is the handiwork of this person, if Emperor Yongle can come back to life, he will definitely slap this great-grandson to death.

Now, Ming Yingzong has no shadow, Ming Xuanzong is still a little child, the future Ming Renzong has not even become a prince, and the Yongle Emperor, who has just ascended the throne, is sharpening his sword Huo Huo to the neighbors.

Zhu Di was an emperor born for war, and the battlefield fought throughout his entire life.

It can be said that it was the battlefield that created the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the long knife of the Emperor Chengzu who cut out a Ming Dynasty of all nations.

No one can deny that the Ming Dynasty in the Chengzu period was definitely far ahead of the world in terms of military strength and scientific and technological products.

The Americas are still slash-and-burn, and Europe is clinging to the tail of the Middle Ages. Britain and France, which can barely be regarded as a developing-country, are still fighting to the death, and when it comes to the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a sentence of "oh, a myth in legends!" ”

In the process of chatting with Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the mountains, Meng depicted the map of the world and the world little by little, which made the two more and more interested in the "outer world world".

In fact, Meng also knows a little about the countries in the world today, in addition to the deep memory left by the exam-oriented education, a lot of knowledge comes from unreliable film and television dramas.

But Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui listened to it with relish, especially after hearing that the queen mother of a certain country had never taken a bath in her life, but was named a "saint", the expressions of the brothers were really indescribable.

Not taking a bath for the rest of your life? Happened in the royal family, or the queen mother?

Even if you are a beggar on the street, you have to catch lice, clean them up, and never take a bath for the rest of your life...... No, I can't think about it anymore, otherwise I want to continue to go to my uncle's house to eat today, and I won't be able to eat it even if I rub it.

"Xingningbo, what you said is true?" Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui has a stronger adaptability, at least he can still handle the dim sum on the side, "These are all told to you by the former Song Dynasty relics?" ”

"Back to the county king, the minister didn't believe it at the beginning, and always wanted to have a chance to see it with his own eyes." Meng spread his hands with a regretful expression, "However, the minister heard that the army of the former Yuan had been to these places, and there were also sea ships coming from foreign countries, so I think it should not be fiction." ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

The countries and continents mentioned in Meng's words are extremely attractive to him. Although the queen mother who doesn't take a bath is a little bit like that, it's just a matter of listening.

In the final analysis, what he is interested in is the crops in Meng's mouth and various anecdotes.

What exactly does the other side of the ocean look like?

Uncivilized lands?

Or is it a much larger territory?

If he had the chance, he would also like to see it for himself.

When it came to dinner, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui got up to say goodbye, Meng Zuoshi stayed, and the two brothers shook their heads together, going to their uncle's house to eat was the queen's order, and it must be strictly implemented. According to Xingningbo's words, it is to use family affection as a bond to repair the irreconcilable relationship between uncle and father.

Dad is a diehard, and uncle can't bow his head easily, Zhu Gaochi and Uncle Dad can't say that they can go together, so they can only make a few more trips between Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui.

At first, the brothers were a little awkward, but as the days went by, they found that there was nothing wrong with that.

Compared to the imperial palace, it is obviously more comfortable to stay in the Wei State Mansion.

There are uncles and four uncles who study the art of war together and learn martial arts, and Xingningbo who is on the other side can talk about the mountains, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui went from being urged out of the palace by Queen Xu to running outside three times a day, and the rapid change even surprised Zhu Di.

Hearing that the two younger brothers are getting closer and closer to the Wei State Mansion, and often go to the Xingning Bo Mansion to visit the door, Zhu Gaochi sat quietly in the room for a long time, and finally could only shake his head, he and the two younger brothers have different personalities, life pursuits may be similar, and the way of doing things is different after all.

What Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui can do, he may not be able to do. On the contrary, what he can do may not be feasible to pass on to his two younger brothers.

His father had already let him listen to the government, and a group of civil servants in the court expressed their goodwill to him openly and secretly.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi behaved more humbly and cautiously than ever.

The eldest son is the son of Emperor Hongwu, according to tradition, as long as Zhu Gaochi does not smoke, the position of the crown prince will definitely be his.

More than ninety percent of the Wenchen think like this, especially Xie Jin and others.

Although Zhu Neng and others, who followed Zhu Di all the way from Beiping to Beijing, had more class feelings with Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Di also showed that he preferred the second and third sons, and a big hat that stood tall and grew was pressed down, and Zhu Di also had to seriously consider practical problems.

Less than half a year after Zhu Di ascended the throne, the military generals of Wenchen faintly divided their factions.

In this case, it is not a strange thing for Wenchen to make a conspiracy to suppress the generals, and the generals roll up their sleeves and want to beat Wenchen.

Both sides are looking for opportunities, and judging from the ranks, it is obvious that Wenchen is one step higher.

Xie Jin and the others may not really look at Shen Xuan's various unpleasant eyes, they must use the yin trick on him, who made Shen Xuan just hit the muzzle?

The Son of Heaven, Jing Nan can be included in the top five, and it is said that he also saved the life of the king of Gaoyang County, which belongs to false rumors, but Meng who saved people is under Shen Xuan, and it is not an exaggeration to count it on his head.

In addition, the former Dingyuan Marquis is an orphan, and he doesn't even have a family temple, leaving Shen Xuan with a single seedling, and there is no family support at all, which is simply the best target for Lu!

So, taking advantage of the queen's opportunity to choose a daughter-in-law, many people began to move.

They had to show the Son of Heaven how serious the consequences would be if the influence of the generals continued to expand in the court. Even if it is the righteous son of His Majesty, the henchman who raised troops with His Majesty, he is not 100% trustworthy.

It is true that martial arts can prosper the country, but the one who can really help the Son of Heaven govern the country and appease the people will always be Wenchen!

At this point, Emperor Jianwen did a good job, although his life was unlucky, and it was inconvenient to mention it, but there was also a son who liked to read and had a benevolent personality, which could be used as a model.

Zhu Di understood the thoughts of the ministers of the DPRK and China very clearly, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he became more and more angry.

This anger reached its peak when Shen Xuan "defiled himself".

What a child! What a faithful courtier!

sympathetic, did not want to embarrass him, did not hesitate to use such an excuse to refuse the marriage, and extinguished the fire that had not yet ignited from the source.

How angry Zhu Di is at the people who play tricks behind his back, how moved he is by what Shen Xuan did.

No matter how many times Shen Xuan explained, Zhu Di just recognized what he thought in his heart, and he couldn't pull it back. While patting Shen Xuan's shoulder, he pinched the forty-five corners of his nose and wept.

"Don't worry, my father must not let you be wronged!"

Shen Xuan is out of line, completely out of line.

He could only exit the main hall in silence, leave the palace, return to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and sit alone in the room and meditate.

What's wrong?

How did things get to this point?

Which words and actions did he say that caused the Son of Heaven to misunderstand?

The point is, if he continues like this, how long will he have to climb the wall to the end?

Shen Xuan thought about it for a long time, but he was still puzzled.

Meng next door didn't wait for Shen Houye, who climbed the wall, and couldn't help but feel strange.

In the past, it was rain or shine, but what happened today?

The guards of the Hou Mansion and the Bo Mansion also felt strange, the guards of the Bo Mansion patrolled to the wall where Shen Xuan often haunted, set up a ladder probe, and waved to the guards of the Hou Mansion, is the Marquis of Dingyuan not in the Mansion today? Or are you feeling unwell?

The guards of the Hou Mansion said that they were there, and they did not see the doctor.

The Bofu guard wanted to ask again, but suddenly someone pulled him down, turned his head and just wanted to stare when he saw who was standing below, and he was so frightened that he almost slipped down the ladder.

"Uncle, uncle?"

Meng was dressed in a blue regular suit, the hem was lifted, tucked into his belt, and hooked his fingers towards the guards on the ladder, "Come down, change me." ”

The guard closed his mouth, slipped down the ladder, and watched Meng Liluo climb up, prop up the wall, and disappear on the opposite side, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Maintaining the posture of looking at the moon and the sky, he let out an exclamation in the end, it turns out that the uncle's skills are so good!

No wonder it is rumored that he will be beheaded at the fifth level in a battle, an absolute iron-blooded real man!

On the other side of the wall, Meng stood up, patted the dust on his regular clothes, and grinned at the stunned Hou Mansion guards, "Where is the main courtyard?" Lead the way. ”

He wanted to go by himself, but the area of the Hou Mansion was too large, and it was close to the back garden, rockery stone road, pavilions and weeping willows, all kinds of flowers, which looked beautiful during the day, but at night it seemed like walking a maze.

The guards did not dare to delay and brought Meng to the main courtyard as quickly as possible.

"Uncle, Master Hou is in the first room in it, please."

After saying that, I felt that this was not quite right, scratching my chin, thinking too much, right?

The courtyard door is not locked, Meng is not as good as Shen Xuan, and he does not have a hobby of climbing the wall without going sideways.

Pushed open the courtyard door, walked to the door and stood still, and looked behind him, there was no one.

turned around and coughed, and knocked on the door three times, "Master Hou, if you are not there, you will respond?" ”

There was no sound inside the door.

Meng knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound.

Raise your hand again, and the door opens.

Shen Xuan, who was dressed in a red unicorn suit, stood inside the door, wearing a jade belt around his waist, the beam crown had been removed, and there was only a hosta in his hair.

Looking over with black eyes, Meng opened his mouth and scratched his chin, what did he want to say just now?

Before he could think about it, a powerful arm was already around his waist, and he easily scooped the person into the room.

Close the door and lock it.

That night, Xingning Bo stayed in the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan.

The guards of the Hou Mansion and the Bo Mansion were not surprised. Hou Ye has a good relationship with his uncle, and often talks at night. It's just that they don't go through the gate, they all like to climb the wall.

In the next few days, the person who climbed the wall was replaced by the Marquis of Dingyuan, and then, several rumors began to circulate in Beijing.

It is said that the Marquis of Dingyuan does not love red and blue faces, so he has not decided on a marriage for a long time.

It is also said that the Marquis of Dingyuan has a person he likes, and he has been pursuing it unsuccessfully, so he is worried, dancing knives and guns in the Hou Mansion all day long, shouting and shouting and killing, and the guns are broken I don't know how much.

It is also said that the Marquis of Dingyuan suffered from lovesickness and had the problem of sleepwalking, and in the middle of the night, he climbed over the wall on time, just to see the person he liked.

Over the wall? Seeing someone you like?

So, the person who is interested in Dingyuan Marquis lives nearby?

Everyone gathered together and listed the buildings near the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion one by one, looking at the list listed, their expressions became more and more exciting.

Wei State Mansion, Wuyang Marquis Mansion, Changxing Marquis Mansion, Cao Guo Mansion......

The hand holding the pen shook a little, and a handful of his beard was pulled off.

Dingyuan Hou's favorite person is among them?

If you don't shake, it's too scary.

The Xingningbo Mansion, which was only separated by a wall from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, was completely ignored, and was not even mentioned by anyone.

It's no wonder, there's a word called dark under the lights. There is also a saying that the level is not enough.

The prince and the marquis of the country are standing in a row, a second-class uncle...... It's easy to overlook.

The rumors intensified, and the palace specially summoned Shen Xuan to ask, and everyone was full of expectations of how the Son of Heaven would react, after all, the Marquis of Dingyuan was the emperor's righteous son, and there should always be an explanation when such words were rumored.

This kind of thing happens to ordinary people, at most a young man. On the Dingyuan Marquis, you have to consider it from many aspects.

Is it the slander of political opponents, or is it the activity of the Jianwen Yu Party?

As a result, the people who were waiting to watch the play were extremely disappointed, and the Marquis of Dingyuan walked around the palace, and nothing happened. On the contrary, after the Marquis of Dingyuan left the palace, the Son of Heaven became angry.

"Xuan'er is so loyal and filial, I want to see which one is calculating Xuan'er, calculating me!"

In the Buddhist temple where Dao Yan was cultivating, Meng suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to Dao Yan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating: "Master, it's your turn." ”

In front of the two of them was a chessboard with black and white chess pieces fighting, and white had a clear advantage.

Knowing that Meng was not good at Go, Dao Yan often pulled him to play.

According to the great monk, how could his apprentice have shortcomings. Gentlemen, six doctors, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, must be able to handle everything.

Meng had a headache for a while, so he did as the great monk intended.

The great monk taught him sincerely, and the game was just an introduction.

Just like he pretended to tell Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui about the overseas customs and customs of the former Song Dynasty relics, Dao Yan also taught him more truths through chess games.

Meng was very grateful to Dao Yan, even if he still didn't open his mouth to call Master, it still didn't prevent him from being grateful to the great monk.

Recently, the capital has not been peaceful, and Dao Yan often calls him to call, but it also helps him avoid a lot of right and wrong.

Even if it is himself who is driving this dark tide, Meng does not want to be swept up in it now.

He was ready to wait until the best time to strike a blow to achieve his goal.

Meng is no longer Wuxia Ameng, nor is he a little shrimp who struggled to survive four years ago. planned for himself, and also to pit some unpleasant people by the way, so he discussed this chess game with Shen Xuan.

Even if you take a certain risk, it is worth it if you can get a satisfactory result.

Dao Yan twisted a chess piece, thought for two seconds, and landed on the chessboard.

It must be admitted that Meng is smart and has aura, but he is still not good enough in front of Dao Yan.

Time makes people grow old, and the lost time is also the precipitation of life.

Daoyan's experience and life experience are not comparable to Meng Neng, at least not to him now.

"It's time to go back." The chess pieces fell, and the outcome was undecided, but Dao Yan twisted the Buddha beads with one hand and said with a smile, "Good apprentice, at this time next month, I will finish this game with you for the teacher." ”

Meng didn't speak, got up and saluted Dao Yan.

The great monk was telling him that there were still omissions in the chess game?

But the matter has come to this, and the ninety-nine steps have been taken, not the last step.

If he doesn't take this opportunity, he will definitely regret it.

"Master, junior farewell."

"Go ahead." Dao Yan closed his eyes slightly, "I spent my life as a teacher to find a master for the world." If the apprentice is the true transmission of the teacher, he will definitely be able to achieve his wish. ”

Meng: "......"

Can you say that the Yongle rebellion is so righteous and awe-inspiring, and it is high-sounding, except for Dao Yan, you can't find a second one, right?

Said that he was able to achieve his wish, and by the way, he turned a corner and boasted about himself?

Can such a master recognize it?

Meng grinds his teeth, resolutely can't.

When he went down the mountain, he unexpectedly met Shen Xuan, who came to pick him up.

The winter rain continued, and he was used to the weather in the north, and the wet and cold in the south really made Meng very uncomfortable.

A cloak was draped over his shoulders, and Shen Xuan rode a horse, but what was prepared for Meng was a carriage.

The car is equipped with a hand stove and hot water snacks. Looking at the style that was a little strange, the pot-bellied kettle fixed on the low table, Meng smiled slowly.

Holding the hand stove and lifting the curtain, Shen Xuan happened to turn his head, his eyes were facing each other, and he didn't last for a few seconds, but the face in the other party's eyes seemed to be permanent.

Leaning against the wall of the car, Meng closed his eyes.

If you decide, you can't regret it.

For the sake of his family, he fought once and won.

For his own sake, he had to fight again.

Win or lose, he has no regrets.

Thirty-five years of Hongwu, winter and November, the Great Dynasty.

With the sound of ceremonial music resounding in the Fengtian Temple, the civil and military ministers in court clothes were divided into two shifts and walked into the main hall.

"Kneel!"

After prostrating himself to meet the Son of Heaven, there was a brief silence in the hall.

A tense atmosphere continued to coalesce.

After announcing the matter again, a Like gave the matter to step out of the ranks of the ministers, and said loudly: "The minister has a performance!" Shen Xuan, the marquis of Yuanyuan, was not upright, did not cultivate, befriended courtiers, plotted against him, and bullied the king! ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the right class glared angrily, especially Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu and others, who were holding Chao Qian's hands and burst into green muscles. If it weren't for the fact that he was above the main hall, he was afraid of accidentally causing a fatality, and he would not be able to explain to the Son of Heaven, and he would 100% rush out of the hall to give him an old fist.

Improper standing, misdeeds, bullying the king?

Wenchen Yanguan's mouth, the upper lip touches the lower lip, and the red mouth and white teeth splash dirty water, so wanton slander, and he is not afraid of thunder and thunder? !

On the dragon chair, Zhu Di's face also became gloomy.

The crown hung down to cover his face, but it couldn't hide the murderous aura that flowed from his body.

Maybe it's because the position of the dragon chair is too high, or maybe it's because the ability of the officials to resist pressure is extraordinary, four people in the six departments are listed, and most of the left and right people are also hula in the matter, and they participate in Dingyuanhou in unison.

From life style issues to unique hobbies, to rumors in the capital, every one can tell the flowers. That's not all, the homestead occupies a lot, builds privately in the yard, does not comply with the edict of Emperor Tai-Zugao, and digs a pond in the garden.

Speaking of excitement, even Shen Liang, the former Marquis of Dingyuan, was pulled out to increase his persuasiveness.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the father's standing is not right, he has been reprimanded by Emperor Gao several times, and he was also involved in the Lan Yu rebellion case, and it is naturally no better to be a son!

What's more, he cried bitterly in court, and said heartbreakingly: The Marquis of Dingyuan is good at killing, his life style is not correct, and everyone in Beijing is in danger. How can such a person be worthy of being a marquis? How can it be called a first-class hero?

You must be dismissed, dismissed, confiscated, and exiled!

Those who have something to do with him, such as Zhang Fu and others, must also be investigated to correct the dynasty!

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

"This shameless man, the ministers don't want to be an official in the same dynasty as him!"

The more the official spoke, the more excited he became, and a military attache stood up to speak for Shen Xuan, but was quickly pushed back by Wenchen.

Zhu Di's face can no longer be described as black, and those who are familiar with him know that this is a precursor to his murder. Zheng He, who was next to the royal platform, had a cold back, and he couldn't wait to rush down and punch one by one, hammering all the civil officials who sang and wrote well to death.

You are looking for death, and don't bring others to your burden!

Shen Xuan, who was scolded so bloody, never spoke, and when Zhu Di turned his gaze to him, he stood out and knelt on the ground, his back stopped, and his face was resolute.

I didn't say anything, but I said everything.

The military attaches all clenched their fists, not to mention Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu, even Chen Xuan and others, who voted for Zhu Di later, were also red-eyed.

The Marquis of Dingyuan, who knelt in the main hall, reminded them of the innocent colleagues of the Jianwen Dynasty.

Defend the country, defend the frontier, and fight to the death on the battlefield, but you will be attacked by this group of officials!

Ho Gu!

The emperor was reluctant to express his position, and the officials thought that they had a plan, and the excitement of the battle became higher and higher.

The left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was just about to go out of the ranks, and took the opportunity to add a handful of firewood, but he heard a cough behind him. Turning his head, his brows furrowed, Yang Shiqi?

When he hesitated, one of the military generals in the right class had already stood up, holding a courtier, hanging a gold medal from his waist, and his appearance was handsome, not like a general, but like a civil servant.

It was none other than Xingning Bomeng.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Seeing Xingningbo coming out, most of the Wenchen showed contempt, and only Xie Jin and others, who had dealt with Meng, showed deep thought on their faces, and faintly felt that today's events would cause another twist and turn.
