Chapter Fifty-Four: Expedition to Saibei
This arrival at home naturally does not mean that Yao Guangxiao will live in the future, but that his life has come to an end.
Yao Guangxiao naturally understood this truth, and he also knew that this was not what Wang Xiao meant, but what Zhu Di meant. But his desire to survive still made him want to rescue again.
"Suncheonfu is a great place, I lived here for many years when I was young. As for the place to stay, I'll just find it myself. The avenue is from the heart, and it is impossible to comprehend the avenue in the deep mountains and old forests. ”
Yao Guangxiao said with bells and whistles, but the core meaning is to say, give me a chance to go by myself, I will never appear again in this life, and I will stay alive.
Wang Xiao rode forward, his expression calm and did not speak.
He has no grievances or enmity with Yao Guangxiao, but who let Yao Guangxiao be on Zhu Di's blacklist. Yao Guangxiao's fate was not decided by Wang Xiao, but had already been decided by Zhu Di.
Yao Guangxiao, who had a big bald head, sighed, sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and was silent.
A few days later, Wang Xiao, who was inspecting the palace in the Shuntian Mansion, received a report from Jinyiwei that Yao Guangxiao had disappeared in Xishan.
Wang Xiao, who already knew this, arranged for people to look for it, and there was no other movement after that.
People like Yao Guangxiao seem to be think tanks, but in fact they are more like parasites. They can only survive by the side of ambitious people. Once it loses its usefulness, it becomes a morning dew that dissipates when it encounters sunlight.
This matter did not touch Wang Xiao in the slightest, and his mind quickly shifted to checking the imperial city.
Compared with the imperial palace of Yingtianfu, the newly built imperial palace of Shuntianfu, which is the Forbidden City in the future, was rebuilt and expanded on the basis of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. The scale may be a little smaller than that of the south, but the grandeur and brand-new look are by no means comparable to those of the south.
At the very least, there is no sinking of the palace due to the filling of the lake in the south.
When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Yingtianfu Imperial Palace, he did not choose to build it on the site of the palace of the Southern Dynasty in the middle of the city, but chose the Yanque Lake in the easterly direction.
As for the reason, it is said that Zhongshan Mountain to the north is Fugui Mountain, which can be used as a backing mountain to keep the peace of the Imperial Palace. This brings us to Feng Shui.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to fill up the Yanque Lake, and then built a palace on it. But he didn't know about the geological structure and the groundwater.
Over time, the palace gradually sank. Even tinkering is difficult in this area.
And there is no such problem on the side of Shuntianfu.
The palace is built directly in the center of the city, and the red walls and yellow tiles are extremely magnificent.
Standing on the Dan steps in front of the Taihe Hall, Wang Xiao, who was standing with his hands behind his back, recalled Hokusai. Somehow, it seemed like it was a long time ago.
Wang Xiao knows why, that's because time is a pig-killing knife. Not only can you turn a beauty into a middle-aged woman, but you can also make the memories in your mind pass away.
When the mission is over and back in the real world, the system can restore Wang Xiao's body to the state it was in at the moment before departure. But memory doesn't.
Remember how much you live, that's how much.
Wang Xiao clenched his fists, he was going to wait until the end of this mission to find a way to explore the reality of the system, if he could find a way to materialize the system, it would be the best.
He will use all means to coerce the system to give him the World Anchor directly, or provide a way to obtain the World Anchor.
Wang Xiao is afraid that if this continues, he will gradually forget those people and things in the past.
Hokusai and Teki Maud are both people he doesn't want to forget.
The relocation of the capital is a huge project, and the early construction lasted for many years, and the investment of millions of people was as high as one million. The consumption of various materials is even more bottomless, and it has long been impossible to fully count.
As for the various yamen institutions, palace personnel and materials, and the relocation of the army, it lasted for almost a year before it was finally over.
As soon as the matter of moving the capital was over, Zhu Di, who felt that his health was getting worse, couldn't wait to start the conquest of Saibei.
The fifth expedition to Saibei, which was also Zhu Di's last expedition.
Wang Xiao stretched out his hands and pinched Sun Ruowei's cheeks, "Well, wait at home for me to come back." ”
Sun Ruowei's eyes were full of affection, and she held Wang Xiao's hand tightly, "You must come back alive, my child and I are waiting for you." ”
Concubine Taisun is pregnant and has a child, and it has been more than three months.
Traveling through many worlds, this is Wang Xiao's first child. He is also reluctant to give up.
Hu Shanxiang on the side lowered his head, and his hands in his sleeves were clenched together. The fingernails were turned pale because they were too hard.
Although the two sisters were together every time they got together, Wang Xiao stayed with Sun Ruowei at the last moment. This kind of differential treatment made Hu Shanxiang's heart explode.
Wang Xiao glanced at her and said, "I'm not by your side, you have to protect yourself." Don't be assassinated by some ruthless villain. I have left a group of secret guards to protect you secretly, and if anyone dares to attack you, I will make her regret coming to this world! ”
Sun Ruowei took good care of Hu Shanxiang, and never thought that Hu Shanxiang was the one who hated her the most. I thought Wang Xiao was talking about the people of the King of Han.
When he came to Hu Shanxiang's side, Wang Xiao raised his hand to hold her shoulders, approached her and whispered in his ear, "Take care of your sister." If she's well, I'll give you a baby when I come back." If something happens to her, you know the consequences. ”
Hu Shanxiang is very bold and ruthless. But she was very afraid of Wang Xiao.
In the period before she recognized Sun Ruowei, she was ruthlessly educated by Wang Xiao. That terrible memory was engraved in her mind for a long time, and she shuddered when she thought about it.
"The concubine knows, Your Highness take care."
Hu Shanxiang knew very well that everything he had now was actually given to her by Wang Xiao for Sun Ruowei's sake.
Although I was jealous in my heart, I also knew that if there was any action, it would be really over.
Moreover, although Sun Ruowei is pregnant, she may be a girl.
As long as you can give birth to a son, you may not have no chance in the future.
Sun Ruowei sent it all the way to the gate of the palace, with tears in her eyes.
Wang Xiao's various arrangements and pursuits made Sun Ruowei not experience so much pain.
The matter of Jingnan's orphans was resolved, and his adoptive father Sun Yu also came to Shuntianfu to continue to take charge of the cause of white sugar. Xu Bin and others were also recruited by Wang Xiao as staff guards. Her long-lost sister also married Wang Xiao with her, and she can be together for the rest of her life.
For Sun Ruowei, she is happy in this life and has no regrets.
The only thing on my mind now is to pray for the heavens to bless Wang Xiao to return alive and well.
Hundreds of thousands of troops went out on the expedition, and it took nearly a month just to open and exit the customs.
"Taisun, Xia Guan has received a lot of news from various armies these days. The army looked like there were a lot of people, but in fact, the empty salary was very good. The actual number of troops in many armies is not even half of the establishment. ”
The person who spoke was Yu Qian, who was recruited by Wang Xiao to be his staff member after being beaten in the army for a period of time.
This is already the grassland outside the Guan, and Wang Xiao, who has set up a camp, and the generals of the Shenji Battalion will discuss the march and let them leave. Then Yu Qian came up and broke the news about something that everyone knew.
Wang Xiao, who was dressed in iron armor, sat on the horse, but asked Xu Bin, "Are there many such cases in the Shenji Battalion?" ”
"Back to Taisun's words. Before, all the generals of the Shenji Battalion were transferred away by Taisun, and the new ones were all promoted by Taisun, and they have not made any meritorious achievements, and they are not so bold. ”
Wang Xiao nodded, looked at Yu Qian and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter for the time being, it is useless to say it." are all heroes of the Battle of Jingyan, and you don't know about their empty salaries as emperors? Everybody knows that. ”
Yu Qian's character belongs to the kind of thorn, the kind that is not afraid of anything in his heart.
Seeing that Wang Xiao didn't seem to care about such a serious matter as eating empty salaries, Yu Qian immediately shouted angrily.
"If you know everything, why don't you care? These people deserve to be killed! ”
Wang Xiao didn't speak, picked up the oily leg of lamb on the oven and started eating. Xu Bin on the side bowed his hand to Yu Qian.
"Lord Yu, it's not that you don't want to care, but you can't. The leaders of each battalion were all heroes who followed the emperor to participate in the Battle of Jingjing. There are so many of these people that if they want to move, they must all move. But if you move them, it is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the emperor. ”
"Don't talk nonsense to him."
Wang Xiao chewed the mutton hard, "You really don't understand him, he is complaining and telling me." Thinking I'll be able to solve this problem later. If he really didn't understand, he would have gone to the emperor to report it a long time ago. Who grilled this leg of mutton, the outside is burnt and the inside is not cooked, what a waste. ”
Xu Bin looked at Yu Qian in surprise, and then looked at Wang Xiao again.
He was surprised by Yu Qian's mind, and he was also surprised that Wang Xiao could see so thoroughly.
Yu Qian stopped talking, his mind was seen through, what else was there to say. Just sit down, pick up the leg of lamb and nibble.
"Such a delicious leg of mutton is not delicious, and the grandson is really rich."
Wang Xiao smiled and didn't say anything, ate the leg of mutton in his hand and got up and went to Zhu Di's Chinese army camp.
The Varat tribe sent an envoy to ask for a meeting with the Great Emperor, and the envoy headed by it was Yexian.
For this hero who won the Tumubao Change, Wang Xiao is ready to leave his life behind.
Zhu Di asked Wang Xiao to play himself, and he dressed up as a veteran who burned wood and added water.
This proposal made the faces of the King of Han and the King of Zhao extremely ugly, but they could not refute it. But the anger in my heart could not be contained.
Let Wang Xiao sit in the position of the main general in a dragon robe, or in front of many generals. The meaning of this is too much to say.
Those who wear dragon robes privately are of the Yi clan, and those who are allowed to wear dragon robes by the emperor must be the heirs to the throne. Because even the prince is only allowed to wear python robes.
Coming to such a show, it will leave a deep impression on the hearts of the generals, that is, the emperor intends to let the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and Wang Xiao inherit the throne.
Zhu Gaoxu's heart was burning with anger, even to the point where he couldn't suppress it.
Dragon robe, dragon chair.
What Zhu Gaoxu had been asking for for decades but couldn't get actually fell into Wang Xiao's hands so easily. I also have to salute Wang Xiao in front of them, this is especially the old man helping Wang Xiao to be in the army!
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's heart has never been so quiet as it is now.
There was only one thought in his heart.
If you don't give it to me, I'll rob it myself!
