The next day, Lian Zining said goodbye to Zhou Shizi and continued to go north to visit the King of Jin on behalf of the emperor. Almost at the same time, Zhu Youzhuo, the son of Zhou Shizi, also sent a messenger to Daning.

When Zhu Yunwen received Lian Zining's recital, he was discussing things with Xie Jin. Recently, due to Bai Fangrui's incident, the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and the queen has been a little tense, in order to make up for the relationship between the two parties. Zhu Yunwen went to bed in Kunning Palace every day, and teased his eight-month-old eldest son Zhu Wenkui by the way. Zhu Wenkui is chubby, and now he can crawl, so Zhu Yunwen asked people to spread a soft cushion on the ground and let Zhu Wenkui practice crawling. Just now, Zhu Yunwen used sugar to seduce Zhu Wenkui from a distance and asked him to crawl over, but when the child pounced and crawled over, he took a bite first, and Zhu Wenkui, who was teased and deceived, immediately cried. This voice was like an alarm, Ma Hui and Qiu Ju and other palace maids immediately appeared from all sides, Ma Hui picked up the child as quickly as possible, gently comforted it, and then handed it to the nurse who heard the news. When Zhu Wenkui sucked the sweet ** of the nurse, he immediately quieted down.

Ma Hui looked back at Zhu Yunwen's embarrassed appearance, then looked at the sugar cube in his hand, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, why do you still like to tease children, seeing Wen Kui makes you cry." ”

"Ai Concubine," Zhu Yunwen hugged the queen and said in her ear: "You don't know, I'm educating Wen Kui, no one will give him candy for no reason, be wary of the person who gives him candy, that person is often not a good person." ”

"Cut, how can you educate your children like this? Also, Your Majesty, do you want Wen Kui to think that you are not a good person? ”

"This?" Zhu Yunwen scratched his head: "No, it's just an analogy, he will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and he has to be sensible as soon as possible." ”

Ma Hui couldn't cry or laugh: "He's only eight months old, Your Majesty, have you been in trouble lately?" Teach your son to be so wary of people? ”

"Uh," Zhu Yun paused for a moment, thoughtful, then gently hugged the queen, kissed his son, and went out.

Ma Hui looked at his back and sighed silently.

Zhu Yunwen opened Lian Zining's recital, looked at it, and then handed it to Xie Jin, and said, "Squire, what do you think of King Zhou's affairs?" ”

Xie Jin carefully studied Zhu Youjian's confession, looked at Lian Zining's recital, and said angrily: "The prince of Zhou is too arrogant, he dares to follow the imperial court? From this, we know that most of their lawlessness is true. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Well, what do you think King Zhou relied on to rebel?" ”

"This, it should be that he has been operating in Henan for many years, and Henan Wenwu mostly obeys him, so he feels that he can give it a go."

"Now Qu Neng is the commander of Henan, I have asked him to change the commanders of the guards, and also changed the political envoys of Henan, and the king of Zhou is now in Daning, and his cronies should be the left and right guards and the Henan armies that were transferred last time, about 40,000 people, Daning is far away, and the food needs to be supplied by Jiangnan, will he take risks?"

"But doesn't it matter? King Zhou wore a dragon robe privately, handed over the ministers, and met with Song Guogong privately, which of these shows that he has a heart of disobedience. ”

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, looked at Xie Jin and said: "These are small things, as long as he doesn't have the ability to rebel, then I can deal with him whenever I want, this is the first vassal king to deal with since I ascended the throne, and I must be cautious." ”

Xie Jin was silent for a while: "The emperor is sage." ”

"Hehe, squire, you can't help it. Although I am the emperor, I can't be the enemy of the vassal kings of the world, and I can't let the people of the world think that I am mean and unkind, so I have always been very careful. ”

"Sentry, what do you think I should do with King Zhou?"

"Recently, Song Zhong, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, reported that the Mongol Warat tribe often went south to harass the surroundings of Kaiping, and the defending general Xu Zhong fought against each other, and the Mongol tribes who fled to Beiping also drew more and more. He asked the imperial court for reinforcements, and we used this name to mobilize the imperial army's army to the north. Then the edict ordered the king of Zhou to go to Beiping to participate in a military meeting and capture the king of Zhou in Beiping. Not only that, but you can also capture King Yan by the way, and the big thing will be decided. ”

"Arrest two kings at once? Is it appropriate? And do you think it will work? ”

"This, the minister thinks that it is very good, General Song controls the army of the Beiping Dusi, and the army of the imperial court is responsible for capturing the two kings, there will be no problem."

"What if King Zhou doesn't go to Beiping for a meeting?"

"This?" Xie Jinleng for a moment and said, "This is unlikely, can he still disobey?" ”

"What if I get sick?"

Xie Jin gasped: "He is tantamount to rebellion like this." ”

Zhu Yunwen was amused by Xie Jin: "Why did you arrest the two kings, isn't it because they rebelled?" Since they want to rebel, what else do they dare not do? ”

Xie Jin scratched his head, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, these ministers are not very good at these things, and please ask the emperor to make a judgment." ”

......

The next day, Zhu Yunwen called Fu Rang and first talked about his father Fu Youde's past, and Fu Rang also talked about some of his father's old comrades-in-arms. Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Fu Rang, are you familiar with Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan?" ”

"Very familiar, Uncle Wang and my father are good friends, they are both known for their bravery, but Uncle Wang admires his father very much, saying that his father is not only brave and unparalleled, but also quite proficient in strategy, which he can't compare. He often came to our house to discuss the war books with my father, and I used to serve on the sidelines, and they had a heated and lively argument, but it didn't affect their friendship. ”

"Uncle Wang is also very good to me and often instructs me in martial arts. In addition, Uncle Wang's son Wang De and I are very good friends. ”

"Well," Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, and then said, "I want you to go to Daning, meet the Marquis of Dingyuan, and at the same time proclaim the decree to King Zhou and let him return to Beijing, are you willing?" ”

"Yes." Fu Rang agreed.

"Okay, you will set off tomorrow, take Wang De, the prince of Dingyuan Marquis, you go to Jinan first, visit Bai Fangrui, who is cultivating on the shore of Daming Lake, and help me bring a few gifts."

"Bai Fangrui? I don't know. Fu Rang scratched his head a little.

"This," Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, didn't tell him the truth, just said: "You can ask Liu Zhen for the specific truth, and he will tell you what to do." ”

"Well, I understand."

"After the visit, she should reply to me, you send the situation of the visit and her letter to Liu Zhen urgently, and he will hand it over to me, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and Wang De can't tell it, understand?"

"Understood."

"Then you go to Sheng Yong, the commander of the Shandong capital, go to sea in Dengzhou, go ashore in Jinzhouwei, and go to Shenyang to meet Geng Xuan, the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and bring him my secret decree."

"I asked Geng Xuan to do something in my secret decree, and when he was ready, he would tell you, and then you went to Daning, first to see Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, and also gave him my secret decree."

"You also have to wait for Wang Bi's arrangement, and when the arrangement is ready, you go to see King Zhou and read the holy decree. Remember, you must see the Marquis of Dingyuan first, and then the King of Zhou, remember? ”

"I remember."

"Okay, go back and get ready, let's leave tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The next day, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to transfer 20,000 elite people from Beijing to Beiping, and put them under the command of Song Zhong, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division.
