That's right, it will be very convenient to be a monk begging, maybe it is because of this that Lao Zhu has been a monk for many years, and he survived in the troubled times by relying on the generosity of good men and women, so that there is today's Ming Dynasty.

"The slave and maid had no land to cultivate, so they relied on a shabby monk's robe and a bowl to support a son and a daughter, and survived in the troubled times." The expression on Yuansheng's face seemed to be proud, "Now that my daughter is married, she suffered too much in her early years!" ”

"How can this be! Could it be that you haven't known the emperor's news for so many years, although the emperor has picked the door a little, but he still misses the old, how will he reward you with a bite of food, and it is not a problem to fight for a wife and a son on the battlefield with your hard kung fu. ”

Yuan Sheng said with a smile: "The situation of the emperor, the slave and maid naturally heard about it, and watched him change from a marshal to a prince and finally become the emperor, and I couldn't believe it like a dream." I didn't think about what you said, when the family couldn't open the pot and was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, I don't know how many times I wanted to come to him. The reason why I didn't come was because I was afraid of death. ”

"Afraid of death?"

"Slaves and maids are not as capable as Uncle Guo. If you open your mouth to the emperor at that time, you can only fight for the emperor's battle array, and it is easy to say that you can seal your wife and shade, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, tens of thousands of people rose up, such as how many people are crowned by the Taiping Princesses today, and those who died in battle have nothing but an empty title. ”

Yuan Shen's expression became meaningful, "The rivers and mountains they fought so hard are now the slaves and maids who are following the light, and the wives and children of the slaves and maids are following the light." Although there are fewer children and grandchildren, but they have already had both children and daughters, what else is there to care about, as for women, I didn't dare to think about it when I was ordained a monk. ”

Although his words are dirty, there is wisdom in his eyes that understands the world, this is a smart person, a hidden master. Ma Du waved his hand and said: "Father-in-law, don't say it, listening to your words, I feel like a fool who was born and died before and after the saddle." ”

Yuan Sheng patted Ma Du on the back and comforted: "Your mood slave can understand, although you are a marquis, but now you are in a similar situation to the slave maid, and it is normal for people to feel uncomfortable." But don't worry, don't look at the emperor scolding you at every turn, I value you very much in my heart, and when you get older, there will always be a time when you have great power......"

"Stop! Stop! Did I hear it wrong just now, my father-in-law just said that my situation is similar to yours? Are you belittling me, or are you putting gold in your face! "Ma Du thinks it's funny, Lao Tzu is a marquis anyway, and you dare to compare with Lao Tzu as a dead eunuch.

"Isn't it? Slaves and maids serve the emperor and ladies in the palace, and you have to flatter a few old gentlemen in the academy; The slave maid cleans up the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and you manage the students in the academy; And the slave doesn't have to worry about the expenses in the palace......"

Syllable! Ma Du felt that something seemed to be broken in his chest, he reached out to cover Yuansheng's mouth, and said viciously: "If you talk nonsense again, beware that your son can't enter the academy!" ”

Mu Ying didn't need to ask Lao Zhu about it, he didn't bother to look at his black and smelly face, he just went to Ma Dajia's side and asked.

Sure enough, this guy is doing something again, this Western Expedition is just for the conquest of Mingxia, and there was no intention of attacking Yunnan, and the Western Expeditionary Army entered Shuzhong after capturing Chongqing, and cleared the remnants of Mingxia to conquer the city, and it was very smooth to pocket the territory of Mingxia.

Lao Zhu according to the previous habits, sent an edict to the king of Liang in Yunnan to surrender, Lao Zhu is not a war maniac, the early Ming Dynasty was limited in national strength, and the battle that could not be fought was not fought. The king of Liang in Yunnan happily destroyed the edict and killed the envoy, even though the two sides tore their faces, the battle still did not start.

But there was a small military conflict in Jianchang (Xichang) at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and the Ming army suffered a small loss, so they came to find a small banner of Shenji battalion soldiers to help......

What was originally only a small friction of a few dozen people snowballed into a big battle of tens of thousands of people within a few days, and finally the Ming army won more with less by relying on the advantage of guns. With 15,000 men, he defeated nearly 40,000 troops on Zhongqing Road in Yunnan and captured more than 10,000 people.

More than half of the troops of the Yunnan Yuan army in Zhongqing Road were damaged, and Lan Yu and Mu Ying, who organized this battle, knew very well the truth of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, so they simply went deep alone and occupied Kunming, the seat of Zhongqing Road, without much effort, and His Royal Highness King Liang fled to Dali.

Ma Du's eyes widened, "Wen Ying is too bold, she didn't learn to be good when she suffered a loss in Lanzhou!" ”

Ma Dajia smiled and said: "Brother doesn't understand military affairs, the emperor said that Wenying and they did it right, since they opened their mouths, they always had to bite down on the meat." It's just that this war started too hurriedly and there was no preparation, the road in Shuzhong was difficult and difficult for the army to support, Wenying and they could withstand the counterattack of the Yuan soldiers, it would be regarded as a nail in Yunnan, and if they attacked Yunnan in the future, they would be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"So what's going on now?"

Ma Dajia said with a smile: "Originally, the emperor did not allow Wen Ying to go to the west this time, Wen Ying can make a contribution, and it is not in vain that I will give the emperor good words." Now the emperor is happy, let Tang He send troops to support nearby, and also send new firearms, which will inevitably allow them to gain a firm foothold in Yunnan. ”

"That's good, I thought he stabbed some kind of basket, and he was worried in vain."

Ma Dajia smiled and said: "Wen Ying is older than you, how can she be so ignorant, especially after suffering a defeat in Lanzhou, she is much calmer." ”

Ma Du smiled: "Hehe...... That's right, I haven't come to see Sister for a long time, but is it okay? ”

"Sister is the mother of a country, the most noble woman in the world, what can be bad." Ma Dajia sighed and asked, "It's that you haven't been in the palace for so long, but you were frightened by what happened last time?" Wen Zheng is on the road to death, and Sister Ah can't save him even if she has thousands of mouths, and since then, the emperor's temper has become bigger and bigger. ”

Listening to the meaning of her words, it seems to confirm Zhu Wenzheng's accusation of rebellion, as for Lao Zhu, he is really demonized, and everyone will have a hard time in the future.

Outside the room, a palace maid's scream suddenly sounded, and then a crisp children's voice was heard shouting: "This king has given you a medical look, what are you running, are you a newcomer?" ”

Ma Dajia shook his head helplessly, and ordered the palace maid beside him, "Go and invite King Wu in!" He said to Ma Du again: "Let the fifth child go to the academy at the beginning of school next year, so that he will not be in the palace all the time to harm people." ”

"Uncle, you're here! It's great, take a look at the new stethoscope my father made for me. Zhu Xiaowu had a stethoscope around his neck and walked in swaggeringly.

Ma Du had seen his stethoscope before, all of which were made of bamboo and wood, but this time it was really a metal, and it was very exquisite, he pressed his head on Ma Du's chest, pretended to listen for a while, and said: "Uncle has a noise in his breathing, and eighty percent of it has been infected with wind chill recently!" ”

Madu was surprised: "How do you know? "He did have a cold the other day, and he hasn't gotten better.

Ma Dajia is not strange at all, "He has already listened to the people in the palace one by one, and from time to time he goes to the Tai Hospital to follow the Tai Doctor, and he knows a lot of ways." said that he would follow you to study medicine in the future, but the emperor favored him and I had no way to take him. ”

Zhu Xiaowu is smart and clever and has a likable personality, and it can be seen from the title that he is Lao Zhu's most favored son. King Wu, this is the title used by Lao Zhu himself, and the fief is the prosperous Suzhou. Because Suzhou is a land of wealth, it is not suitable to build a domain before it was renamed the king of Zhou, and he became a vassal in Kaifeng, and Kaifeng at that time was the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Just kidding, Lao Zhu's most favored son wants to be a doctor, Ma Du was about to persuade him to say a few words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, only to remember that this lovely cheap nephew is a famous pharmacist and botanist in history, and his "Materia Medica" is very famous in the world.
