Zhu Yunwen has been busy recently, the creation of martial arts, things are complicated, buildings, students, courses, facilities, etc., he often discusses with Qi De, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng all day long, and occasionally adds Xu Huizu, Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong, and he is very busy every day. The person also lost a lot of weight, and the mother concubine Lu found out, and quickly asked the little eunuch to boil him more tonic soup to maintain his body.

To be discussed, Zhu Yunwen appointed Qi De and Huang Zicheng as the civil and military divisions of martial arts, responsible for the arrangement of the curriculum and the formulation of teaching materials, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War also sent some subordinates and instructors to assist Qi De and Huang Zicheng in handling related affairs. As the master of martial arts, Tie Xuan screened the regulations one by one to ensure that there was no ambiguity and that they could be implemented fairly.

Zhu Yunwen is now lacking in talents at hand, as Master Daoyan said, the heroes and generals have all been executed, and the court is full of some loyal and patriotic scholars, who have not served in the local government, and are directly promoted from the Guozi Prison Supervisor or Jinshi, and they are very good at writing and doing things very diligently, but they want to find a talent like Liu Bowen or even Daoyan, there is no such thing as a talent at all, Fang Xiaoru recommended one, Wang Du, a good man in Guangdong, is currently the supervisor of Shandong Province, this person is quite wise and talented, Zhu Yunwen was transferred through Zhu Yuanzhang to be a companion in the East Palace.

......

At noon that day, Zhu Yunwen came to the dormitory of his mother Lu, and in the morning his mother sent someone to inform him to come over for dinner at noon, and Zhu Yunwen hurried over after finishing his work. When he arrived at his mother's place, he found that his sister Zhu Yuling was also there, and when Lu saw Yunwen coming, he beckoned the little eunuch to hurry up and serve the meal, Zhu Yunwen sat down and looked around: "Mother, is there something wrong today?" So hearty? ”

Lu Shi smiled, glanced at Zhu Yuling, and said, "Yun Wei, there is something that called you over today, today your imperial grandfather told me that he would make your sister Yuling the lord of Jiangdu and marry." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen was surprised, his sister is only less than 17 years old, right, and she is about to get married? glanced at his sister, and found that the sister, who was usually very down-and-out, lowered her head, blushed, and said with a smile: "I don't know whose kid has this blessing to marry my sister?" ”

"It's your companion, Geng Xuan, the eldest son of Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing." Lu said with a smile.

"Geng Xuan?" Zhu Yunwen thought about it for a while, and felt that this match was not bad, Geng Xuan knew him better, and he was also his confidant, his character and ability were good, and he would be of great use in the future: "What does my sister mean?" ”

"I, listen to my brother." Zhu Yuling whispered.

"Mother is asking your opinion, as long as you say yes, it's no problem, you are the emperor's grandson, or her brother." Lu said with a smile.

"Mother, isn't it a bit early for my sister to get married now?"

"It's early, it's 17, if it weren't for her father's filial piety, she would have married a long time ago."

Well, it seems that his thoughts are a little out of step with the times, and he paused: "Mother, Yun Wei thinks it's better to listen to my sister's opinion," turned his head and asked his sister: "You have also met Geng Xuan, what do you think of him?" Would you like to marry him? ”

Both of them stared at Zhu Yuling, and Zhu Yuling's face turned even redder: "But it's up to my mother and brother to decide." When he had finished speaking, he hurried to the back room, and he couldn't scream.

Mother and son glanced at each other, and they didn't even eat, well, it seems that this thing has been done. Zhu Yunwen secretly slandered himself, did Geng Xuan secretly hook up with my sister when he came, it seems that his sister has a good impression of him, it is really a fireproof, anti-theft and anti-companion.

When the matter was settled, the mother and son continued to eat and chat about homely things, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, looking like a mother and son were filial and happy.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yunwen went to the Qianqing Palace and reported the progress of martial arts with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang listened, asked Zhu Yunwen to sit down, and said: "The progress of martial arts is good, I am very satisfied, the people you chose are very good, but you have no military experience, the first time you have full authority to handle such an important matter, you must be very cautious, and report something to the imperial grandfather in time, don't go wrong, understand?" ”

"Grandson understands, grandfather can rest assured."

"By the way, I'll tell you something today, maybe your mother has already told you, I plan to make your sister the county lord of Jiangdu and marry your companion Geng Xuan, what do you think?"

"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the mother concubine has already told Yun Wei, and Yun Wei thinks it is very suitable."

"Hehe, that's good, then your marriage is also going to start preparations, you are 18 years old."

"Huh? What's wrong with me? Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel excited.

"Yun Wei, as the prince of a country, your heirs are a big deal, because your father passed away not long ago, so it has not been done. Your mourning period will be over next year, and I plan to hold a big wedding for you next year, and I will accept the crown princess. ”

Oh, there is still a year to go, don't worry, Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa Huang looks at it, Yunwen has no opinion, I'm going to be busy with martial arts." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was just about to speak, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen running away, he couldn't help laughing, this kid, if it weren't for today, he would feel very mature, and he would still look like a teenager today.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang officially decreed that the lord of Jiangdu would descend to Geng Xuan, and the marriage would be completed on the third day of the seventh month.

The next day, when he saw Geng Xuan again, Geng Xuan was a little embarrassed, and several companions couldn't help but laugh at him, such as: "Brother is really fast, when did you meet the princess?" "My brother hasn't gotten married yet, Brother Geng wants to help." ...... Everyone was happy for Geng Xuan from the bottom of their hearts, and Geng Xuan also felt that it was a good thing, he had become the hardcore henchman of the imperial grandson, and his future was bright.

After the discussion, Zhu Yunwen asked Geng Xuan to stay, and the others went back first, and everyone slandered: Sure enough, it's different, Brother Geng is now the royal family, I guess there is something to explain.

Zhu Yunwen asked the people who served to go out, and took Geng Xuan into the combat deduction room, which has not been used recently, but it is quite clean and there is no dust. Zhu Yunwen sat down on the main seat, looked at Geng Xuan for a while, and said, "Geng Xuan, you are about to become my brother-in-law, can you trust you?" ”

"Geng Xuan swears allegiance to His Highness to the death until death." Geng Xuan quickly knelt on the ground and swore a vow.

Zhu Yunwen didn't let Geng Xuan stand up as before, he stood up and walked around Geng Xuan before sitting down in his position: "Geng Xuan, you get up." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You can't reveal even a little bit of what Lone said, even if it's your father or my sister, it's the same, can you do it?"

"Geng Xuan understands that he will swear to keep this secret to the death." Geng Xuan was about to kneel down again, but this time he was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.

"Lone trusts you, just to remind you."

"The last will understand."

"Lone is the emperor's grandson, it is a rare thing in all dynasties, generally speaking, when the prince dies, he will choose his brother, but this dynasty is the eldest son to inherit, so he will choose Lonely, but my uncle Wang will be dissatisfied if he is capable, and he will be qualified if he is incapable, in short, he is less convinced, and it will be easy to make things happen in the future."

"Then what does Your Highness mean by cutting the domain?"

"No, I want to set an example for the future generations of the Ming Dynasty, and I will not take the initiative to cut the domain, but only reduce their power, let them give up their military power, and become a rich prince. If they don't even want that, don't blame Gu Buyi. ”

Geng Xuan said in his heart, isn't cutting power a cutting domain? However, he didn't dare to argue about this, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and benevolence and righteousness are extreme. ”

"Hehe, Geng Xuan, what do you think should be?"

"The last general thinks that the biggest threat is King Yan, and King Yan should be dealt with first." When Geng Xuan said this, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

"Yes, Lone also thinks so, the other vassal kings are not to be afraid, as long as they solve the Yan King, they will naturally obediently obey the edict of the imperial court."

"And what is Your Highness going to do?"

"This is a lonely ask to you, what do you think is better."

"Your Highness, this, the last general doesn't dare to say, it's a big matter."

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said: "Gu said what Gu thought, Gu didn't want to do anything to these Uncle Wang, as long as they obediently handed over the military power." As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the whip, walked to the wall, and pointed to the map of the Ming Dynasty.

"Lone will give King Yan two choices, you can migrate him to the west, Jiayuguan generation, let him play to his strengths, open up territory for the western part of the empire; If he is unwilling, Lone will move him to Nanchang and become a rich prince. If he doesn't obey the order, then he will rebel. ”

"Lone next year will suggest that the emperor's grandfather set up three guards in Zhigu, Zhigu Qianwei, Zhigu Zhongwei and Zhigu Guard, and will let you be the governor, and the five armies are directly under the governor's office, and there is no need to obey the orders of the Beiping Metropolitan Division. Whether it is shipped to Beiping by sea or transported to Beiping, it is very important to go through direct sales, so it is reasonable to set up a health center. Zhigu is about 200 miles away from Beiping, and the cavalry can arrive in 1 day, and the infantry only needs 3-4 days. If King Yan rebelled, he would not dare to go south if he did not capture Zhigu, and if he did not go south, his rebellion would be meaningless. ”

"King Yan is likely to make a desperate bet and attack Zhigu, so you have to defend Zhigu, the best way to defend the city is firearms, that is, muskets and artillery, so during the martial arts, learn more from Mu Sheng, his father Mu Ying is the best general in the Ming Dynasty with firearms. There is also the need for fifty hundred households, fifteen thousand households, and three guard commanders, and from now on, you have to consider which people are suitable, whether they can be your father's old subordinates, or members of martial arts. You have to remember two points, you must keep it absolutely confidential, you can't reveal any information, and then you have to be absolutely reliable, you can't let King Yan infiltrate, and you can't use people from Beiping Dusi. ”

"Geng Xuan, do you understand what loneliness means?"

"The last general understands, His Royal Highness is far-sighted, and the last general admires." Geng Xuan found that he really underestimated the emperor's grandson, although he was only 18 years old, he thought about things in the long term and was very thoughtful.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Geng Xuan and continued: "Gu has analyzed the situation in Northern Xinjiang, and the Gu Hui will send heavy generals to guard Juyong Pass, which is far from Beiping's side back, and it is the main road for Beiping to enter Shanxi. ”

"In addition, King Yan has made many expeditions to the north over the years, controlling the armies of King Jin, King Ning and King Liao, as long as Juyong Pass is not lost, King Jin cannot echo King Yan, and King Jin does not have that prestige. The most troublesome are the kings of Ning and Liao. ”

"The lonely Uncle Ning Wang prides himself on being resourceful, and he is likely to do something like sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but King Yan does not solve King Ning, and he does not dare to go south, otherwise the old nest is easy to be copied, especially King Ning has three guards under the jurisdiction of Duoyan, if these three guards enter the Central Plains, then King Yan's strength will increase greatly. Therefore, the governor of Daning must choose carefully and ensure that the power of the Yan King is not enhanced as much as possible. ”

"The same is true for the King of Liao, but fortunately, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division is far away from Mobei, and the influence of the King of Yan is not enough, but it cannot be taken lightly, and the Governor of Liaodong must also choose carefully, because this army can attack Beiping from Shanhaiguan."

"And the last one, that's here, Zhending, Lone will let your father garrison Zhending, block the way for King Yan to go south, Changxing Marquis has guarded Changxing for more than ten years, it is impossible not to be able to hold the little Zhending."

"If the above idea can be realized, then King Yan will be compressed in a palm-sized place near Beiping, and at that time, Lone will personally go north from Zhending and capture King Yan in a battle."

Geng Xuan was shocked and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness is talented, so King Yan is not worried." ”

"You get up, in fact, this is just a lonely paper, just doing war games in your spare time, people's hearts are unpredictable, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen when the time comes, but the direct sale will be handed over to you, this is the most important thing, there must be no mistakes, understand?"

"Geng Xuan will definitely do his best to be loyal to His Highness and sweep away the rebellion."

"Well, it just so happens that you are here, and you will study with Lone, is there any problem with this plan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The two of them continued to get busy until the lantern was gone.

On the way back, Geng Xuan was very excited, he didn't expect that the 18-year-old imperial grandson would think so long-term, have such an accurate judgment of the situation, and the coping strategy is also very exciting.

However, the cards in the hands of the imperial grandson are still too few, and they need to be gradually enriched, fortunately, the emperor is still there, and he can suppress the king of Yan, and the imperial grandson can be arranged calmly, if the arrangement of the imperial grandson is completed, Geng Xuan can't think of any way for the king of Yan to break the game.

The dispatch order of the military headquarters was sent to various places, and everyone had to rush to Beijing before 20 April. Qu Neng said goodbye to the king of Shu, because the king of Shu had a life-saving grace for him, and he had protected him during the Lanyu case, Qu Neng took his son 13-year-old Qu Tao and 200 cavalry to Beijing. He Fu and Mu Sheng rushed to Beijing from Yunnan with their own servants......
