Today's Pilgrimage

Emperor Yongle praised Fang Yanzheng and Fang Xuanhe, and everyone knew that Lin Anhou was so bold and dared to mine iron ore privately, and Fang Gongzi disappeared for a few days not to avoid the matter with the girl of the Zhou family. What everyone found interesting was that Lin Anhou's case was handed over to King An. Everyone couldn't help but think, could this prince have fallen out of favor? After all, the crown prince has been ordered by the emperor to have a good rest these days! At this critical moment, the matter of Lin Anhou broke out again, so the prince was jealous of the emperor, and then King An ascended the throne? But King An's expression was no different from usual.

But Lin Anhou is also considered the mother family of His Royal Highness the Prince, so it will be handed over to King An for review? I don't know what happened to Lin Anhou's family. But we have to wait until after the winter solstice. In the tradition of Great Xia, before and after the winter solstice, hundreds of civil and military officials rest for three days. The royal family is going to sacrifice, and those who do not order to accompany them should be given a three-day holiday.

Of course, they did not relax their attention to the emperor and the crown prince, no, after receiving the news that the early dynasty ended, Wang Shugong, who was beside the emperor, sent a decree to the imperial study. I heard that I was in a hurry, and I don't know what the two of them said in the imperial study.

……

A quarter of an hour later

Li Moyan's every move was noble and elegant into the imperial study, the tall red lacquer carved door closed heavily, separated into a world, where there were only Li Moyan and Emperor Yongle.

Emperor Yongle sat upright on the chair after seeing him finish his salute, sighed in his heart, put the fold at will, and simply walked to him and sat down: "Mo'er, drink the soup on this table!" It's still hot! ”

Li Moyan found that there was a white stew pot on the table next to him: "Erchen is not hungry, Erchen and Jiaojiao just finished breakfast"

Emperor Yongle simply picked up the soup spoon himself: "Don't be hungry and drink a few sips, this is what I made people stew all night, you are busy and tired these days, you have to make up for it"

Li Moyan looked at the little white hair on Emperor Yongle's sideburns: "Father, I'm sorry, it's the son's negligence"

Emperor Yongle took the spoon of the soup for a moment, and then continued to ride, "If you really feel sorry for your father, drink this bowl of soup."

Li Moyan: "······"

"Do you want to feed your father one bite at a time like when you were a child?" This child's personality is not like himself, but he is the most like himself.

Li Moyan thought of the way he was playing tricks when he was a child, and a wave of heat surged up in his heart, and he took the bowl.

Emperor Yongle saw that he was almost drunk, so he said slowly: "Mo'er, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, many roots have been buried when Taizu was born, not to mention that this is also the fault of your father's wife, these ten or twenty years of tiger breeding are the fault of your father, and it has nothing to do with you." If you hadn't acted with your father in mind, you wouldn't have given them a chance to breathe. However, everything was much better than my father had imagined. ”

There was a kind of silence around, and after a long time, Li Moyan had a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth that did not match his image, "My father is wrong, you must have been a Ming monarch for the country and the people in your past and present lives, otherwise God would not send your sons to your father's side."

Emperor Yongle was amused, "Hehe······ I thought that you, a stinky boy, would languish, but it seems that my father is thinking too much", he was afraid that Lin Anhou's words would stimulate him.

"That's because of Jiaojiao"

"Oh?" , Emperor Yongle is a little curious, how can it have anything to do with this girl, "Then it is not in vain that I and the queen mother also prepared a surprise for her"

"What surprise did my father prepare?"

"The day after tomorrow is the winter solstice, and Aze has already been on the fold to come back. Speaking of which, this western camp has become a strong backing for the capital. Their father and son don't have to be in the western camp every day."

So, Jiaojiao is going back to the Ye family? It's okay, it's a big deal to go to Ye Mansion by yourself

"Over the years, the Ye family has been getting together less and leaving more, but I have treated them badly"

Li Moyan asked: "What kind of reception banquet do you want to hold?" ”

Emperor Yongle: "When Aze wrote to him, he emphasized that Xidaying was near the capital, and he didn't return home all year round, so he didn't want to make any banquets, and he was too lazy to deal with these. I and the queen mother thought of letting Mrs. Ye stay and have an ordinary family banquet together. ”

"Just tonight?" , Jiaojiao promised to surprise him tonight.

"Hmmm! Imperial sister, they don't know yet."

······

Emperor Yongle said slowly: "Mo'er, Lin Anhou's case is intended to be handed over to King An."

"Father's decision is very good, after all, Lin Anhou's family is also the maiden family of Concubine De, and the sons and daughters should always avoid suspicion", anyway, he knows what he wants to interrogate. Those things on the bright side, if King An wants to toss, he will go.

Emperor Yongle didn't know what he had done, but where did those corrupt officials have to dirty his hands: "You~ When you should be lazy, you are so attentive, you should be attentive but always lazy"

"Erchen is always worried that something will go wrong with our hard work for so long"

Concubine De was the little beauty back then, Li Moyan's biological mother, and her mother was named Concubine De after her son's death, and she was the same as the deputy queen. And Concubine De's biological parents have long since passed away. The prince of a dignified country is not good, and the mother has no family, so Emperor Yongle supported Lin Anhou, the cousin of the father of the virtuous concubine. Li Moyan has not been close to them over the years, who doesn't know that this is just a relationship on face. It's just that what I never expected was that they would unite with other people to pull him off the horse, relying on him to have today's status, but now he is stabbing him in the back, which is really ironic.

At that time, Concubine De was the king of Xinhua who was inspecting at first sight, thinking that he was the current emperor, so he entered the palace draft, when both the previous dynasty and the harem were fighting very strongly, Emperor Yongle had not yet fully controlled the power, and Concubine De Guifei also slept in the case of a mistake. Emperor Yongle still had some pity for Concubine De, but she was a tendon, and after finding out that Emperor Yongle was not the person she had in mind, she made a lot of trouble, and she had a dislike for it, and she didn't see it again.

But fate is like this, and she became pregnant with Li Moyan like this. When Concubine De found out, she tried to get rid of the fetus, but an old lady who was still serving her couldn't look past it, so it took a lot of effort to spread the news to the ears of the Queen Mother.

At that time, Concubine De herself tossed herself to death and madness, but the fetus was good. With the intervention of the Queen Mother, and the fact that she was in a state of half-intuition because she loved her at that time, she reluctantly gave birth to Li Moyan. He died himself. Later, the emperor suppressed those rumors, and what spread out was that Concubine De's beloved son was weak in heart, so she left in childbirth.

"Mo'er, you are the son of your father, the child raised by me and your grandmother. You don't have to take other people's words to heart, let alone care about them", the things that follow, presumably those who have a heart will also receive the wind, and there will be a large number of gossips attacking him at that time. Although Emperor Yongle was helpless, he had to face it by himself after all.

Li Moyan couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Father, haven't you ever doubted the origin of your son?"

Emperor Yongle opened his eyes, and a finger burst on his head, this force was not light, and Li Moyan, who was in pain, covered his head and rubbed it.

The culprit looked like you deserved it: "First of all, I am not so incompetent, and your mother is not so smart. Do you think harems are really that easy to mess with? ”

"What if?"

"There is no such eventuality. You are my proudest son, the crown prince who was raised by me. And for me, blood and family are very wonderful, you look at your aunt and the Ye family, look at the Fang family, isn't this the best example? ”

"Well, Erchen knows, Erchen won't drill the horns anymore"

"That's good, Aze is almost here, and you can meet him later. When the spring of next year begins, it will be time for Aze to rest, and the affairs of the West Camp will be handed over to Ye Shizi. When the time comes, my father will make him the crown prince, and when the time comes, you will have to learn the way of using soldiers from Mrs. Ye, and plan for your heart."

"Yes", that is the man Jiaojiao admires the most

……

The predecessor of the Xida Camp was a rather "sloppy" barracks that was not taken seriously and was temporarily formed at the beginning of Emperor Chengxian, in order to deal with the victims who came to Beijing due to natural disasters at that time. Nowadays, most of the soldiers here are old and weak soldiers, or have offended the upper peak and have been transferred here. On weekdays, it is to cooperate with the maintenance of some law and order in the capital, but there are detailed arrangements for all deployments in the capital, and this western battalion is also dispensable.

A few years ago, Emperor Yongle ordered the Ye family father and son who came back from the border state to take over the West Camp, at first everyone thought that the emperor was afraid of the Ye family father and son, and wanted to weaken their rights, so they were arranged to take charge of the West Camp. Who knew that later, with the support of Emperor Yongle and the training of the Ye family's father and son, this western battalion became an army that should not be underestimated. When they come to their senses, it will be difficult for them to put their own people in.

I have to say that the emperor really trusts the Ye family very much, and he has been hiding the birds since ancient times.

However, this Ye family is like an iron bucket, and there is not the slightest opportunity for everyone to start.

······

As soon as the hour comes

Drums sounded on the gate of the capital, and a small queue of Xiying troops marched in, and when they entered the city, the people knew that it was the Ye family's army, and they had already spontaneously stood on both sides and waited, I have to say that the Ye family's father and son have a very high status in the hearts of the people.

The Xiying army is full of spirits, the army is in armor, the eyes do not squint, and the footsteps cannot hear any noise, neat and rhythmic.

When they arrived at the main gate of the palace, Ye Guogong, Ye Changfan, and Ye Changqing jumped down from their horses, unloaded their armor, and followed the leader of the Praetorian Guard into the palace to face the saint. The three of them walked leisurely and followed, until they came to the imperial study, looking at Emperor Yongle who was sitting above, Ye Guogong saluted excitedly: "Your Majesty"

"Aze, please hurry up, it's really hard for you", Emperor Yongle was obviously a little excited, walked down and helped Ye Guogong up and patted him on the shoulder: "You have worked hard." ”

"Wechen doesn't deserve this hard work, Wechen is just a reckless man, and it's uncomfortable to be able to stay with his brothers and make trouble. On the contrary, Your Majesty worries about the country and the people all day long, handles the government and politics", and has to deal with several unsuccessful princes vying for power. Look at this age than he is.

The two looked at each other, all without saying a word, met in their youth, spent the most difficult days with each other, and trusted and tacit understanding between the two as teachers and friends.

·····

After the tacit excitement of the two monarchs and ministers calmed down, Emperor Yongle called Li Moyan forward: "Aze, do you still recognize the prince?" Speaking of which, every time you and I meet, we pass by in a hurry, and we haven't had a good chat, let alone see Mo'er."

Emperor Yongle sighed on his face: "After the spring of the next year, the affairs of the Western Daying can also be handed over to the prince, so you can take the time to teach the prince well." Although my son is still talented, and he is also a little skilled in martial arts, but he is a little casual, if I am not tight, I don't know where to run at this time, and you don't have to be soft when the time comes", but listening to this tone, if you take it seriously, you are really stupid

He really had a good father, "......"

He hadn't seen it, but his sons often dealt with the prince: "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the posture of an immortal, and his aura is extraordinary. Your Majesty is such a blessing."

Emperor Yongle laughed when he heard this: "Aze, you have won the prize"

Li Moyan bowed his hand deeply: "Taifu is really a winner, and I will ask Taifu for more guidance in the future."

Ye Guogong accepted this big gift, after all, the prince called the prince.
