Section 36 Chance Encounters
This night, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not fall asleep, Song Zhong's report surprised him very much, and he saw what was behind it at a glance. He found that the best son couldn't sit still and began to do it, this rumor is actually similar to the Yellow Turban Uprising's "The sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should stand", and the Red Turban Army's "Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel against the world". He didn't think that his son had such a big courage, he was still alive, he believed that as long as he gave an order, Zhu Di would not have any power to resist, and it was not much more difficult to clean up Zhu Di than to clean up an ant, but did he really have to deal with Zhu Di? Zhu Yuanzhang was a little at a loss, so he asked Song Zhong to meet his grandson to see how Zhu Yunwen handled this matter.
What will Yun Wei do about it? Will they come and cry to themselves and force themselves to do it? What if then? Zhu Yuanzhang is very sober now, he can't deal with Zhu Di, only he can control the heavy troops in the north, if he deals with Zhu Di, then he must find someone to replace Zhu Di to lead the troops, does this person have it? King Ning and King Liao are too young, they have just become vassals, and their prestige is not enough; The kings of Jin and Qin were not good at leading troops. If any of them had gone up, the northern defense line would have been paralyzed, and the Mongols might have taken advantage of the situation; Even if they are competent, it makes no sense, it is just another Yan King, if it is replaced by other generals, it is not that there is no candidate, but it is likely to be another blue jade, will it be killed again in a few years?
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the north cultivates a general with a different surname, and then makes a rebellion, the Ming Dynasty will change its surname, but if King Yan succeeds in rebellion, then it is also his own descendant, and it is not the worst result, although he has made a bad start, but he is always his own heir, but in this way, it is a little unfair to Yun Wei, after all, he is his designated heir.
And if the vassal king seizes the throne, the stable inheritance of the Ming Dynasty will be interrupted, and there will be unforeseen results, Zhu Yuanzhang is very entangled. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his grandson will not lose, after all, the court has a righteous reputation, there are many generals, although he has killed a lot of people, but he still left a lot, as long as he is good at employing people, there will be no problem. Looking at Yun Wei's appearance of running martial arts, he should still have a certain understanding of people.
waited until the son, Yun Wei did not come to him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little relieved, this grandson did not embarrass himself, but it was relaxed, but mixed with a kind of sadness, his grandson and himself were not as close as before. He decided to observe for a while and point out Yun Wei, he couldn't move Zhu Di directly, at least not now, Yun Wei has calmed down a lot recently, he should understand...... Let Zhu Di be a test for Yun Wei, if you can't control Zhu Di, you won't be able to sit on the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang fell asleep after thinking about it......
Zhu Yunwen didn't think about letting Zhu Yuanzhang deal with King Yan at all, all he wanted to do now was to increase his strength, see the moves, and solve Zhu Di by himself, he subconsciously thought that sooner or later there would be a battle with Uncle Yan Wang, and this battle would determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, if he was defeated, he would have nothing to say, and if he won, he could train his own generals and popularize his military ideas to the whole country, and he could also solve the problem of the vassal king by the way, so that he could gain enough prestige and solve the disadvantages left by Zhu Yuanzhang. How can he be reborn without Nirvana, Zhu Yunwen believes that he can win, of course, the necessary response still has to be done. Let's go to the martial arts tomorrow to see how my hard work is growing now?
The next day, Zhu Yunwen came to see Zhu Yuanzhang early, asked for two days off, went to Wuxue to have a look, and stayed outside the city for one night, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and agreed, and asked Zhu Yunwen to take foot guards to ensure safety. Zhu Yunwen said yes and went out.
Zhu Yunwen took Liu Zhen and Liu Tie and other guards, and transferred forty guards from Jinyi Guard, all in civilian clothes, and went out of Taipingmen and walked towards Wuxue.
Along the way, Zhu Yunwen found that there were a lot of people going out of the city to Meihua Mountain, which was a little strange, so he asked Liu Zhen: "Why are there so many people on this road, it doesn't seem to be like this before." ”
Liu Zhen scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, the little one is not clear. It's not a small matter to ask. ”
After a while, Liu Zhen ran back and said that it was because of the opening of martial arts over there, and there were many families and families of martial arts, but there was no place to live, so some businessmen went there to open a few inns, and then it became prosperous, most of the students of martial arts were wealthy, and a small market was slowly formed nearby, and because of the proximity to Meihua Mountain, there were more people who went to the wilderness, and there were more people with food and housing, and there were many people who went to see the training of martial arts.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned, martial arts has only been open for two months, and there has been such a big change? It's unbelievable. However, it also shows that the people in Jingshi are relatively wealthy, and they have a lot of leisure.
In Jingshi, there are more people on horseback, but with such a group of nearly fifty people, everyone respectfully stays away, because they know that these people are either rich or expensive, and they dare not provoke them. The group turned the mountain col, there was a small river in front of them, a carriage was stuck in the river, and a fat man next to him rode a horse, commanding several family members to shout and push the cart, but the car was too deep, and the carriage was tilted. Zhu Yunwen took a look at it and said to Liu Tie: "Bring a few people to help, there should be a female dependant in the car." ”
Liu Tie agreed, recruited a few guards, and went up together to help push the cart, and the strength of the people was great, and the cart was quickly pushed to the shore. The fat man was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Liu Tie, Liu Tiedao: "It was my master who asked us to help, and I want to thank my master for thanking me." The fat man found Zhu Yunwen and his party on the shore, and hurriedly ran over to thank him. The guards were about to stop him, but Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and stopped the guards: "You're welcome, it's inevitable to go out, help each other." ”
The fat man was a self-cooked, and when he saw the horse Zhu Yunwen was riding, he couldn't help screaming: "Brother, what a horse, a standard Dawan horse." ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Do you recognize?" ”
"I don't know."
"And what are you calling?"
"I only know Dawan Horse, look at your horse god horse, it must be Dawan Horse." The fat man said with a wink of his eyes.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Where are you going?" Let's go to martial arts. ”
"Ah, that's a good feeling, let's also go to martial arts, my family has opened an inn there, and my sister and I went to inspect it today."
"Hehe, okay, let's go on the same road, let's go together."
With a horse-drawn carriage and a few family members on foot, the pace of walking slowed down. Zhu Yunwen is not in a hurry, the fat man is also a very talkative person, so he chatted while walking. As he was walking, the curtain of the carriage quietly opened a crack, and a little maid showed her head and said, "Young master, Miss asked me to ask you, how long will it take to arrive?" ”
"Uh, I really don't know about this, Brother Mu, how far is it?" Zhu Yunwen claimed that his surname was Mu.
"Brother Bai, it's about half an hour, the mountain you see from a distance is Plum Blossom Mountain, and you will be there soon."
"Okay, Green Willow, talk to my sister, there's still half an hour." The fat man turned around and said to the maid.
"Oh, got it." The little maid retracted her head and said to the young lady in the car: "Miss, the young master said that there is still half an hour, you are just sick, let's rest first." ”
"It's okay, I've been sick for half a month, and I'm just going to take a break." The woman who spoke was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair complexion, looking forward to the slight change of autumn waves, talking and laughing, beautiful appearance, charming with a spirit of beauty, really a rare beauty.
"By the way, Miss, Green Willow peeked at it just now, the son who saved us is so young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, very good-looking, but riding a tall horse, one head taller than the young master's horse, and there are thirty or forty strong men under him."
"Oh, I guess it's the son of the Gonghou family in the capital, this kind of person is not easy to make friends with, and he doesn't look down on people like us."
"How so? Miss is a well-known beauty, and those who come to the door to propose marriage have broken through the threshold, if Miss wasn't satisfied, she would have married out a long time ago. ”
"Alas, Luliu, you don't understand, the Bai family has been in business for generations, and although they are rich, the family of the public and even the scholarly family can't look down on the Bai family."
"Oh, it seems to be the same, it seems that there are no such people who come to the door to propose."
......
Zhu Yunwen called himself Mu Wen, and chatted with the fat man while walking, and soon inquired about the fat man's details. The fat man's surname is Bai, the ancestral home of the Bai family is Shexian County, the family has moved to Nanjing, has been doing business for generations, mainly engaged in salt, rice, grain, cotton, silk, etc., and now the family is rich, his father named the fat man Bai Wangru, hoping that he can go to the road of reading and glorifying his ancestors, but he neither likes to read, nor does he like to do business, and he is a lord who lingers in the willow alleys of the flower street all day long, but the flowers have been in the bush, and the leaves do not stick to the body (Bai Wangru self-report, the truth needs to be verified. This time, he single-handedly operated the inn for martial arts, but he thought it was fun, and the old lady Bai had no choice, so he took out the money to open an inn for him, but he didn't expect to make a lot of money, so he had to go. Today, his sister Bai Fangrui recovered from a serious illness and planned to come over to relax, but she didn't expect something to go wrong on the road, but fortunately Zhu Yunwen helped. Along the way, Bai Wangru chattered about the ambitions in his heart, saying that his father's business was too small now, he was not interested, and he wanted to make a bigger one, but he didn't think about what to do.
There were Bai Wangru gags along the way, but it passed quickly, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at martial arts. However, Zhu Yunwen seems to be a little unrecognizable, martial arts is at the foot of Meihua Mountain, in front of the door is a small lake, named Mirror Lake at that time, it is used to practice swimming for students, but now there are rows of inns by the lake, row upon row, people come and go, and it is extremely prosperous, so I believe that what Liu Zhen said is true. Bai Wangru took Zhu Yunwen to an inn near Meihua Mountain, and wrote "Yuelai Inn", Zhu Yunwen said that this name is vulgar enough, and there are really people who dare to give such a vulgar name, and he can't help but admire Bai Wangru like a surging river. However, Bai Wangru didn't think it was vulgar, and shouted: "Brother Mu, do you know? I came up with this name in a flash of inspiration, and I realized that I didn't get into the Jinshi, just because I wasn't interested, otherwise, it would be possible to be the champion. Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, nodded yes, and the guards behind him also tried to hold back, not daring to laugh.
Bai Wangru was talking energetically, and a girl from the back came: "Mu Gongzi, my brother is simple-minded, please forgive me, and Fang Rui will thank Gongzi for breaking the siege on the way." ”
Zhu Yunwen's heart was shocked, and when he looked back, a woman got out of the car, supported by a maid, and was talking to herself, it was Bai Wangru's sister Bai Fangrui, although she was a woman, her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, her hair was combed in a peach bun, she was wearing a yellow and green silk gown, with a graceful figure and a delicate face. However, this is not the most attractive place for Yun Wen, what shocked Zhu Yun Wei was that this Bai Fangrui was very similar to his beloved wife Qing Wan in his previous life......
Bai Wangru looked at Zhu Yunwen's stunned appearance, and gently tapped Zhu Yunwen with his elbow, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but wake up: "I'm sorry, I'm rude." ”
Bai Wangru next to him squeezed his eyebrows and said, "How about it, Brother Mu, my brother sees that you are also a talent, and you are a good match for my sister, do you want to be hired as my brother-in-law?" Bai Fangrui's face turned red, afraid that this open-mouthed brother would talk nonsense, so she quickly fled into the inn with the green willow.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but blush: "Brother Bai, this matter is not a joke, but the marriage in the next place cannot be autonomous, please Brother Bai Haihan." ”
"Haha, just kidding, Brother Mu, you're really too serious." Bai Wangru hugged his belly and laughed.
Zhu Yunwen ignored Bai Wangru angrily, asked Liu Zhen to go to the inn to book a guest room, almost half of the inn was covered, and then the group lived in their own rooms, Zhu Yunwen lived in the middle, and Liu Zhen was responsible for serving.
Bai Wangru didn't care, said hello to Zhu Yunwen, and entered the inn.
After Zhu Yunwen settled down, he took Liu Zhen and the four guards to the martial arts, and happened to be seen by the chatting Bai brothers and sisters in the attic window, the two saw Zhu Yunwen and his party directly into the martial arts from a distance, and they could only see a sign taken out by one of the people, and the guards did not stop them, and the two couldn't help but be amazed, because they all knew that martial arts were not allowed to outsiders, unless there were some dignitaries and special people, it seems that this Mu Gongzi's identity is not ordinary.
Bai Wangru couldn't help muttering, Mu Wen, this name is very simple, the surname is Mu, is it from the Mu family? Except for the Mu family, there are no other similar magnates in Jingshi. Bai Fangrui glanced at Bai Wangru and said: "Big brother, this Mu Gongzi is definitely an extraordinary person, but since he is willing to befriend you, don't dig too deep, chasing the root cause can only make people unhappy, anyway, as long as you remember, we are actually Gaopan people." ”
Bai Wangru looked at his sister fixedly, clapped his hands and said: "That's not necessarily, I see that Mu Gongzi's sister's face is not ordinary, he must be shocked by his sister's beauty, and he will come to the door to propose marriage." ”
Bai Fangrui couldn't help blushing, but she lowered her head and said after a while: "Mu Gongzi must be a famous family, just now he also said that the marriage is not autonomous, how can he take a fancy to Fang Rui, if it is a concubine, how can it be Fang Rui's wish." Besides, it's just a one-sided relationship, and it seems redundant to talk about this. ”
Bai Wangru looked at his sister and knew that his sister was very angry, and his father also doted on her, promising her to let her choose her own husband, and all the previous proposals were rejected by her sister, so she has not yet married. But my sister is eighteen years old this year, will she keep waiting? Alas, he sighed, and there was nothing he could do with his sister.
