The secret activities of the White Lotus Sect, although Jin Yiwei was aware of it, did not know the details, so he did not report it to Zhu Yunwen to know. Zhu Yunwen has been very busy recently, and he has a lot of things to pay attention to, most of the time he learns to deal with government affairs in the palace, receives ministers, and spends the rest of his time going to engineering colleges and agricultural colleges to give full play to his strengths in chemistry and physics knowledge, making more beautiful glass products for the Bai family to sell, and occasionally paying attention to the situation of martial arts and guards.

On this day, Zhu Yunwen asked several of his guards to carry a box and came to the Qianqing Palace. Since Zhu Yunwen has been handling government affairs recently, the old emperor's spirit has improved a lot, and he is walking outside the hall accompanied by Changfu. Seeing Zhu Yunwen coming, he smiled and said, "Yunwen, what's the matter with coming over today?" The box doesn't carry the dividends from the sale of glass, right? ”

After Yun Wei saluted his grandfather, he said: "Grandpa Huang, a few days ago, Yun Wei inspected the Institute of Engineering and found that they had made some things, and after letting the martial arts and the guards test, they felt good, so they brought it over to show the imperial grandfather." After saying that, let the box be opened.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and took a look, and said with a smile: "Is there anything special about this set of armor?" ”

"Come, Zhang Tie, put on this armor and let the emperor see it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Zhang Tie put on the armor, Zhu Yuanzhang looked back and forth, knocked it with his hand, and suddenly realized: "Yun Wei, your helmet, arm guards and leg guards are all one, and this heart guard is also relatively large, how did you make it?" ”

"Grandpa Huihuang, this is made by the Institute of Engineering with a hydraulic forging hammer, and the power of the forging hammer pulled by water power is much greater than the power of a person, so the armor can be forged thinner and larger.

"Oh, really?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Then I want to take a look." Come on, call a few Han generals. ”

After a while, several Han generals tested the dummy wearing armor, bows and arrows, swords, spears, broadswords and giant axes were all on, the armor had good protection against bows and arrows, swords, and spears, and they were basically impenetrable, but the protection of broadswords and giant axes was average, and there was a phenomenon of breakage.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a while, pondered for a while, and said, "Yun Wei, are you making trouble with a few armors, arm guards, leg guards, and heart goggles?" Can it be equipped in large quantities? ”

"It's faster than the previous craftsmen, but it needs to build a hydraulic forging workshop, but the craftsmen of the engineering college are very familiar with it, and Yun Wei can let them give guidance to the Ministry of Engineering."

"Haha, Yun Wei, your engineering college is still of some use, I immediately ordered the Ministry of Engineering to supervise this matter and make these things as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paused, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and looked at him with strange eyes: "Yunwen, these equipment are made, who do you think should be equipped first?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was a little confused: "Grandpa Huang, it's good that your old man has decided." ”

"I want to hear from you."

"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei thinks that he should first equip Grandpa's 12 guards of the pro-army, and then equip the border army, such as the armies of Kaiping, Daning, Dongsheng, Xinghe and Datong, and the armies of the northwest, southwest and anti-Japanese should also be properly equipped."

"Where's your pro-army?"

"By the way, my pro-army also needs to be equipped, by the way, Grandpa Huang, my pro-army is almost trained, I want Qu Neng to take them to practice in actual combat."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your pro-army represents the royal face, and the soldiers on the battlefield are fierce and dangerous, and it will not be good if something happens." ”

"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei's pro-army can't stay in the capital all the time, and will definitely go out of Beijing to fight in the future, everything has a first time, and it's nothing if you fail, summarize the gains and losses, just change it, so that you can train a strong army."

Looking at Yun Wei's insistence, the old emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then you can arrange it, you have handled the recent political affairs well." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly waved his hand and asked everyone to go down, and no one was allowed to eavesdrop.

After everyone retreated, the old emperor said, "Yun Wei, don't you suspect that there is something wrong with your Uncle Yanwang?" Why do you still add equipment to northern Xinjiang? ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Grandpa Huihuang, although Yunwen is a little worried about Uncle Yan, but the northern Xinjiang defense line is a major national matter, and it is necessary to use the most advanced equipment to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and better resist the Mongols." In addition, Yun Wei felt that the best way to contain Uncle Yan Wang was to establish the absolute superiority of the central government, Yun Wei believed that the Institute of Engineering would study more and better equipment in the future, as long as Yun Wei strengthened the training of the Beijing army, then if Uncle Yan Wang knew the current affairs, he would not have any dissenting intentions, even if he really rebelled, Yun Wei could defeat him as quickly as possible and rebuild the northern defense line. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while: "Yun Wei, you are still not ruthless enough, some women are kind, but you can think so, I am also very pleased, as the future emperor, you can treat the Zhu family so well, I will be relieved." After a pause, he continued: "However, you have to remember that if the day really comes, don't be soft. My nephew, the father of King Jingjiang, was dissatisfied with his actions back then, so I immediately disposed of him, and I later regretted that I had dealt with him too heavily, so I named his son King Jingjiang, but I did not regret disposing of him, you should take caution. ”

"Yun Wei knows, Yun Wei will pay attention." Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and replied in a trembling tone.

"Then what are you going to do with your Uncle Yan in the future?"

Zhu Yunwen was a little nervous, what did his grandfather mean? He pondered for a while and said: "Grandpa Huang, Yun Wei plans to move the capital to Beiping, relying on the Yanshan Mountains to open up Mongolia and Liaodong, and the land south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for a long time, otherwise the court will be boiled by this piece of prosperity, and slowly lose ambition, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger at that time." Therefore, Yun Wei will consult Uncle Yan Wang's opinion, if he is willing to continue to guard the border, Yun Wei will move him to the northwest, and if he is willing to enjoy happiness, then move to Nanchang and let him spend his old age in peace. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and said: "Yun Wei, I hope you will do what you say, and the imperial grandfather can close his eyes when he is dead." ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly knelt down: "Grandpa Huang, Yunwen is not filial, so that Grandpa Huang is so worried, Grandpa Yunwen promised Grandpa Huang, as long as the uncles are in peace, Yunwen will not touch them, please rest assured." ”

The old emperor picked up his grandson, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, turned his back and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly went up to help, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and said faintly: "Yunwen, you go and get busy, I'm tired, I want to rest." ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly knelt down to see off his imperial grandfather. Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the Qianqing Palace alone, and when he turned around and saw that Zhu Yunwen was still kneeling, he asked Changfu to help Zhu Yunwen up, and turned around and lay on the dragon couch. After a while, Changfu came in and stood by the bedside.

"Changfu, Yun Wei is gone?"

"Well, Your Highness is gone, but it seems that I have cried and wiped a few tears."

"Alas, Yun Wei is a benevolent and filial person, but unfortunately he was born in the emperor's family, and this burden can only be handed over to him, which is really difficult for him."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and had a strange dream at night, in which his fourth son led the army south to break through the capital, Yun Wei disappeared, and Zhu Di became the emperor from then on, and killed Zhu Biao's family......

In the middle of the night, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, in a cold sweat, and suddenly remembered a recent rumor in the capital, talking about the conversation between him and Mr. Liu Bowen, what he said was the same, talking about the two monarchs and ministers talking about the chaos in the capital, and he said that the capital was very strong and heavily guarded, what was the external trouble? Liu Bowen said: "I'm afraid that swallows will fly." "Is this a prophecy that Liu Bowen said, or is it a nonsense made by his son? Zhu Yuanzhang is still more jealous of Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen is very effective, when he saved King Xiao Ming, Liu Bowen objected, saying that if Chen Youliang went straight to Yingtian and led the troops outside, the general trend would go away, fortunately, Chen Youliang was not as wise as this, otherwise he would have died early; In addition, his assertion that Timur could not be underestimated, and sure enough, Xu Da's army was defeated in Mobei...... Zhu Yuanzhang decided to summon Liu Bowen's son Liu Jing to attack tomorrow and ask for details.
