The next morning, Wang Du heard about Shao Yun, came to Shao Yun's room, and listened to Shao Yun, Tan Yuan, and Yun Sheng explain in detail the reasons from beginning to end. Shao Yun and Tan Yuan's descriptions are all in the first half, and the second half is limited by Yun Sheng's identity, and they don't know much. In the end, Shao Yun said resentfully: "Why did King Yan do this? Why is Na Jinse a side concubine? ”

Tan Yuan said: "Zhang Fu should know these things, but it's a pity that he didn't come to see us." ”

Wang Du sighed: "You two are very talented, and your future is limitless, but you lack practical experience, so you are still scholars in nature, and when you arrive in Nanjing, I will ask Your Highness to transfer you out and accumulate practical experience." When the time comes, you will understand why Zhang Fu didn't come. ”

Tan Yuan and Shao Yun looked at each other, but Wang Du didn't explain, just asked Shao Yun to take the carriage while marching for a while, pay more attention to rest, and then get up and leave.

When Wang Du came out, he found that the army had begun to dismantle the tents and was ready to set off. He went back to arrange things slightly, then came to the big tent of the Chinese army, opened the curtain, and found that Xu Huizu and Qu Neng were discussing the military situation, and couldn't help but pause. Xu Huizu raised his head and found Wang Du, so he said, "Zizhong, is there something wrong?" ”

"Lord Guogong, the minister wants to report something."

"What's the matter, let's talk about it, why is Zizhong so polite." Xu Huizu got up and pulled Wang Du to sit down.

"It's about one of my staff officers, he is sick today and needs to ride in a carriage, so I talk to Lord Guogong, hoping to make a move."

Xu Huizu looked at Qu Neng suspiciously, and said, "This is very easy, and you need Lord Wang to make a special trip?" ”

"There is a follow-up to this matter, and the reason why he was sick was because the woman he liked was accepted as a side concubine by King Yan."

What the? Xu Huizu Huo Ran stood up and said, "What did you say?" The day before yesterday, King Yan just accepted Zhang Yu's daughter as a side concubine, and she had an adulterous affair with your staff officers? ”

Wang Du sighed and said, "It's not adultery, it's like this,......"

Xu Huizu and Qu Neng didn't know what to say after listening to it, they both believed in their parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, but wouldn't it be better if they were happy before marriage? And in this matter, Zhang Yu and his wife obviously did not object, but King Yan inserted a lever and snatched love with a horizontal knife. As a prince, it is inevitable to lose his identity by doing so, but with the respect of the prince, they are powerless if they insist that Hu Lai also have the emperor and His Royal Highness in charge. But if this is all there is, it is completely unnecessary for Wang Du to come to report, and everyone listens quietly.

Wang Du continued: "Although this matter is small, it involves a wide range of things, Zizhong will report this matter to His Highness, but before that, Zizhong wants to talk to the two of you about the things behind it." ”

"This Yanwang concubine is called Zhang Jinse, her father is Zhang Yu, the commander of Yanshan's left guard, and her brother is Zhang Fu, the right guard of Yanshan. Zhang Fu is a martial arts student, and one of the so-called ten masters of the staff room, in fact, in my opinion, he is better than Tan Yuan and Shao Yun, because Zhang Fu was born in martial arts, has actual combat experience, and can also compete with Tan Yuan and Shao Yun in strategy, so he is very good in actual combat and strategy. His Royal Highness also valued him very much, and once asked for his opinion through Zizhong, wanting to transfer him to Ningxia Wei as a thousand households, and then transfer his father Zhang Yu to Ningxia Wei as a commander, but Zhang Fu refused and resolutely returned to Beiping. ”

"After arriving in Beiping, King Yan gave him a test of a thousand households, and he planned to use what he learned in martial arts to train soldiers, but he was opposed by senior veterans, and this matter went to King Yan, and before we arrived in Beiping, there was no conclusion."

"We arrived in Beiping on the third day of the first month of June, on the morning of the fourth day of the sixth month, King Yan wanted to raid the exercise, failed, and then reviewed the exercise of the Taisun Guards in the morning, and the King of Yan gave a banquet at noon. Zhang Fu drank too much, and Tan Yuan and Shao Yun sent him back. In Zhang's house, Shao Yun met Zhang Jinse by chance, and two days later, Tan Yuan, Shao Yun and Zhang Fu, Zhang Hui, and Zhang Jinse went to the suburbs to run horses, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, but on the seventh day of the sixth month, the day before we left Beiping, King Yan suddenly summoned the Zhang family and accepted Zhang Jinse as a concubine. Don't you think there's something to be fun with, two adults? ”

Xu Huizu and Qu Neng glanced at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes, and then Qu Neng said, "What does Wei Guogong think?" ”

"General Qu, let's talk first."

"Okay, the last general thinks that this Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu are very important to King Yan, in addition, Zhang Fu's importance has increased, the reason is that King Yan is very interested in the training methods of martial arts, which can be seen at the banquet that day, which means that our drill that day suppressed King Yan. And Lord Wang sent Tan Yuan and Shao Yun to talk to Zhang Fu about the old relationship, especially the relationship between Shao Yun and Zhang Jinse, King Yan felt that there was a possibility of centrifugation for Zhang Yu's father and son, so he decided to make a decision immediately, accept Zhang Jinse as a side concubine, and completely tie the Zhang family to King Yan's chariot. After that, Zhang Fu did not come to see him off as promised, which means that there is nothing to say, and strangers may be opponents. ”

Xu Huizu said: "Yes, the views of the national public are similar to those of General Qu, Zhang Yu has been known to the national public, he is in a high position in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and after the Ming Dynasty, he started from a hundred households, and became the commander of the guard, now fifty-three years old, such a person will either be disarmed and return to the field, or take a risk, from the current point of view, it should be the latter." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and there was something in their eyes that they wanted to say but didn't dare to say: King Yan wanted to rebel.

But this matter has to be believed by Zhu Yuanzhang, King Yan wants to accept the daughter of the guard and commander as a side concubine, and he can't say anything wrong with it, and he can't win over his subordinates for better command, and better command can be for the court or for rebellion. If this matter is reported, Zhu Yuanzhang will be furious, and a small staff officer dares to fight with King Yan for a woman, maybe just to ensure the reputation of King Yan's concubine, Shao Yun will be killed. Therefore, this matter can only be understood but not spoken, and as long as the prince does not publicly raise the anti-flag, there is nothing he can do with them. When His Royal Highness becomes the emperor, maybe he can do this, but now Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor.

After the three of them finished talking, they dispersed.

The army returned to the division according to the plan and moved south from the front line of Baoding, Cangzhou, and Dezhou. The rivers in Hebei are crisscrossed, the land is fertile, Xu Huizu is riding on a horse, recalling everything he has seen and heard in Beiping, Xu Huizu fell into a deep confusion.

Before this trip, Xu Huizu did think that it was a problem for the vassal kings to have heavy troops, but after meeting with all the northern cypriot kings this time, Xu Huizu realized the seriousness of the problem, these vassal kings controlled the northern fortresses and had heavy troops, but these were not the main problems, because these cypriot kings had limited capabilities. The biggest trouble is King Yan.

Yan Wang is his brother-in-law and the son-in-law of his father Xu Da. Beiping is the capital of the ancient Yuan Dynasty, from the first year of Hongwu father into the capital, to the eighteenth year of Hongwu father died of illness, most of the father's time stayed here, often at the beginning of the year to lead the expedition, at the end of the year was recalled to the Beijing Division. Every grass and tree here, even the people and the army are deeply branded by their father. My father rebuilt the city of Beiping and moved 40,000 families from Shanhou Prefecture. The garrison of the Beiping Dusi was either the old subordinates brought by his father from the south, or the people who moved from his father became military households, and the people of Beiping were also very familiar with his father. This is also the reason why when he entered Beiping City, many people watched.

Since Hongwu's eighteenth year after his father died of illness, the master of Beiping has really become the king of Yan, the people and the army are happy to see this continuation, and his sister has a high prestige among the people and the army in Beiping, and it also comes from his father Xu Da. In addition, King Yan is indeed capable, he has never had any bad deeds, and he has a very good reputation among the vassal kings; The army of the Beiping Dusi has been under his command for a long time, convinced of its ability, and willing to serve to the death; Coupled with the Beiping-shaped victory, the cavalry went south until the Beijing Division, crossed the Yellow River, and could drink the Yangtze River.

Now that the crown prince and the king of Qin have died of illness, and the king of Jin is not in good health, it is possible that the king of Yan will soon become the eldest prince, which also gives him some special advantages.

Xu Huizu couldn't help but be a little confused, could it be that King Yan was really a character made in heaven? Everything that his father Xu Da did fulfilled King Yan, and the land, the army and the people, the terrain, and the father's daughter were also given to him. King Yan can be said to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the vassal king cultivated by the first general, and it can be said that he has a unique advantage in rebellion.

The day before yesterday, I was in the palace and knew that King Yan accepted Zhang Jinse as a side concubine. He was very angry at the time, he dared to accept the concubine in front of him. He went to find his sister, but his sister accepted the matter very calmly, and helped persuade Zhang Jinse that he must live.

Now that King Yan will rebel nine times out of ten, what should he do?
