On the way home, Li Jie was also in a happy mood, Zhu Yunxi's training plan was going well, everything was moving forward according to his plan, and it was estimated that it would not be long before Zhu Biao would be impressed by his son.

In order to marry Zhu Biao's daughter-to-be, Li Jie made a whole set of strategies, and sent a glass mirror before, but in fact, he was just informing the prospective princess that I, Li Jie, were going to soak you.

However, there is no freedom of love in this era, Li Jie wants to marry each other, he must get Zhu Biao's consent, and the key to this matter is Zhu Yunxi, so Li Jie will spend so much thought on Zhu Yunxi.

"Is Lao Zhu doing this for ......" But after calming down, Li Jie suddenly whispered to himself, as if he had thought of something, but he showed a hesitant expression halfway through, as if he was a little unsure.

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously rejected Li Jie's request to marry the princess before, but with the help of Tang He's finger, he pointed at him and asked him to turn his target to Zhu Biao's daughter, that is, his own granddaughter, Li Jie couldn't figure it out at first, but now with the contact with Zhu Yunxi and others, he also slowly had some guesses.

It is recorded in the history books that Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of the emperor, so after Zhu Biao's death, he immediately made him the emperor's grandson, and passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen after his death, but now with Li Jie's contact with Zhu Yunwen, he has great doubts about this statement.

Lao Zhu doesn't rub sand in his eyes, he looks at people accurately, and even Li Jie's careful thinking is seen through by him, in the matter of choosing an heir, Lao Zhu will definitely be more cautious, and Zhu Yunwen is the grandson he has seen since he was a child, how can he not know his huge shortcomings? It simply doesn't make sense!

So Li Jie is now more and more sure that the reason why Lao Zhu was passed on to Zhu Yunwen was that he had no choice, and the prince Zhu Biao, who had been cultivated for many years, died unexpectedly, and Zhu Biao had four sons at that time, but the two youngest sons were only seven years old and one year old respectively, and only Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi barely came of age.

Originally, Zhu Yunxi was also the eldest son, but with his previous performance, it is estimated that Zhu Yunxi in history will not be a talent, at least not compared with Zhu Yunxi.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi was indeed very mediocre in the original history, and there are few records of him in the history books, only saying that Zhu Di demoted him to a concubine after entering Beijing, and then imprisoned him in Fengyang, the central capital, and later died of a violent death in his thirties.

So from the point of view, Zhu Yunwen has become Lao Zhu's only choice, but Lao Zhu knows Zhu Yunwen's shortcomings very well, for fear that he will not be able to sit on a stable seat, so he went on a killing spree in the last few years of his reign, and cleaned more than 10,000 people in just one blue jade case, in order to let Zhu Yunwen have less resistance after ascending the throne, but he didn't expect that the disaster would cause Xiao Wall, and his son would take away his grandson's country, which can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Lao Zhu is not at ease with Zhu Yunxi's grandson, and he sees that Zhu Yunxi is not a good person, so he let me in and let me help him cultivate his grandson?" Li Jie whispered to himself again, but then he felt that this statement didn't make sense, how did Lao Zhu know that he had the ability to help him cultivate his grandson?

"No, Lao Zhu doesn't need to know that I'm incapable, he just needs to know that if I want to marry Zhu Yunxi's sister, I must have a good relationship with him, and Zhu Yunxi is not favored by Zhu Biao, so I will definitely find a way to change this situation, the best way is to change Zhu Yunxi, so that Zhu Biao can change his opinion of Zhu Yunxi, and as long as I do this, even if I don't need Zhu Biao's consent, Lao Zhu will marry my granddaughter to me!"

Li Jie's eyes lit up in the end, he felt that he had guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, this should be the so-called "two poles with dates and no dates", if Li Jie can really change Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yuanzhang will have an excellent grandson, if not, there is not much loss for him, it is nothing more than to maintain the status quo.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, Lao Zhu's calculations were simply too deep, although he had hundreds of years of knowledge more than the ancients, but in terms of playing conspiracy and trickery, he was not even worthy of lifting shoes for the other party.

What made Li Jie even more speechless was that he was obviously calculated by Lao Zhu, but he didn't feel the slightest anger, and even felt quite lucky, as if Lao Zhu deliberately gave him a way out, could it be that he was the legendary "Stockholm Syndrome"?

"If you don't have the strength, you have to be willing to be calculated, and after saving this life, Lao Tzu immediately quit the court, raised flowers and birds, and lived the second half of his life plainly!" Li Jie said to himself ruthlessly in his heart.

Chunhe Palace, Zhu Yuning is still practicing calligraphy according to her own habits, her daily life is very regular, there is only one hour to read and write in the morning and afternoon, and the rest of the time is either to accompany her younger brothers and sisters, or to go to the garden in a daze by herself, these days she has another habit, that is, to look in the mirror, after all, how can a girl not love beauty?

But at this moment, I only heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then someone broke in, Zhu Yuning didn't need to look up to know that it must be his younger brother Zhu Yunxi who came again.

"Sister! How about you help me take a look at this article of mine? Zhu Yunxi came to Zhu Yuning excitedly, and immediately stuffed the article that had not yet dried ink into her sister's hand.

"On the Use of Hot Air Balloons in the Army, which you wrote?" Zhu Yuning looked up at his younger brother with some surprise when he saw the title of the article and said, let's not talk about the quality of the article, but Zhu Yuning knew that his younger brother hated writing articles the most, and sometimes begged himself to write them, but now he actually took the initiative to write articles, which is simply the sun coming out of the west.

"Yes, today I was chatting with Li Banyu, and suddenly I had an idea, he encouraged me to write down the idea and send it to my father, and said that my father would definitely like it." Zhu Yunxi said very excitedly, he started to write immediately after he came back, because it was his own idea, so he also felt that the writing was extremely smooth, and this was even the most satisfactory article he wrote.

Hearing the idea of reading it again, Zhu Yuning couldn't help but blush, and then she turned her attention to the article written by Zhu Yunxi, and what surprised her was that although the whole article was not very stylish, it was extremely organized, and it was also envisaged that hot air balloons would be used in the army, but there were a few nouns that she couldn't understand.

"Little brother, what is a grenade? And what is clairvoyance? Zhu Yuning pointed to the nouns in the article that he didn't understand.

"A grenade is a firearm that will explode and kill the enemy when it is lit and thrown into the enemy, and when I went with my father to inspect the musketeers that day, I saw them use grenades, so I wondered if I could use the grenade on the hot air balloon as well, and then the hot air balloon flew over the enemy's head, and then threw the grenade down, wouldn't it be more effective to kill the enemy?" The more Zhu Yunxi spoke, the more excited he became, this idea was only thought of after he and Li Jie separated, so he also wrote it into the article.

Although Zhu Yuning is a girl, she does not reject this kind of fighting, killing, and killing, but also asked some things about grenades with interest, and finally asked again: "What about clairvoyance, the article says that it can help generals observe the enemy's situation, is it really like its name, you can see thousands of miles away?" ”

"Clairvoyance is this, Sister, you can see it at a glance!" Zhu Yunxi said that he took out the clairvoyance that Li Jie gave him, and taught Zhu Yuning how to use it, but when Zhu Yuning saw the scene in the distance, he also showed a look of admiration.

"I see, standing high and looking far away, clairvoyance plus hot air balloons, you can also observe the enemy's situation, so that the enemy's every move is in your eyes, and equipped with grenades can kill the enemy, and you don't have to worry about the enemy can attack the hot air balloon, this is simply a weapon to kill the enemy!" Zhu Yuning also showed an excited look at the end.

Zhu Yuning's grandfather is the famous Chang Yuchun, although she was not born when Chang Yuchun died, but when she was a child, she often heard her mother talk about her grandfather's heroic deeds, although Zhu Yuning is a woman, the most admired is her grandfather, who is known as Chang 100,000, and is also very interested in military affairs, Zhu Yunxi seems to have inherited this.

"Sister, what do you think of this article, will my father be happy after reading it?" Zhu Yunxi asked eagerly again, since he was a child, he has not been praised by his father, but Zhu Yunxi is often praised by his father, which makes Zhu Yunxi extremely eager to prove himself, but he didn't have a chance before, and even he was about to give up.

"For my father?" Zhu Yuning showed a hesitant expression when she heard her brother's words, because she knew that the reason why her father didn't like Zhu Yunxi was not just because he was not good, but because her mother died of childbirth due to Zhu Yunxi's dystocia, which caused her father to have a pimple in her heart, and just relying on an insightful article, I am afraid it is difficult to change her father's opinion of Zhu Yunxi.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuning suddenly said with a firm expression: "You don't need to show this article to my father!" ”

"Who is it for?" Zhu Yunxi was also stunned when he heard this.

"Let's go see Grandpa!" After Zhu Yuning finished speaking, she pulled Zhu Yunxi and walked out, she knew that compared with her father Zhu Biao, the imperial grandfather did not have any prejudice against Zhu Yunxi, and the imperial grandfather was a famous commander, and he could better see the value of his younger brother's article.
