Section 17 Aftermath

Coming out of Zhan Shifu, Zhu Yuanzhang and several sons came to the Qianqing Palace together, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the main seat, asked the four sons to sit down too, looked at the four sons, and said with a smile: "Today Yun Wei did this war game deduction, now there is only our father and son, you tell me what is in your heart." ”

King Su was the elder, so he said first: "Father, I think the one that Yun Wei did is too complicated, and it is almost impossible to get an accurate deduction, although it looks very good, but I don't think it is very practical." ”

King Ning interjected: "Fourteenth brother, I have a different opinion, Yun Wei's thinking is no problem, although it requires a lot of calculations, but I think it's pretty good." ”

King Su replied, "Brother Quan, I just think it's not practical because there are too many factors to consider. ”。

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "What about you? He looked at King Liao and King Qing.

King Liao said: "I have a similar opinion to Brother Quan, I think there is no problem with Yun Wei's thinking, although it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to invest, but it is worth it for the victory of the war." ”

King Qing pondered for a moment: "Father, I think Yun Wei thinks it is very good, but I can't do this kind of thing." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the words of several sons and said: "Okay, let's go back, we will be in two days, tomorrow night I will hold a banquet in the Jinshen Palace, and the princes in Beijing will come, so I will see you off." ”

The crowd withdrew.

Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and Lan Yu said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and his party at the Kowloon Bridge outside, rode their war horses, exchanged a few words, and the three of them walked side by side, followed by the guards.

After being silent for a while, Feng Sheng said: "Two brothers, we haven't been together for a long time, why don't you go to my house for a few drinks and have a good chat." ”

Lan Yu glanced up at Feng Sheng: "It's okay, I haven't drunk with Dashuai for a long time, this time I won't get drunk or return." ”

Fu Youde was embarrassed and said, "Does the emperor have any ideas?" ”

"If you have any ideas, we're just talking." Feng Sheng and Lan Yu pulled Fu Youde and walked towards the Song State Mansion together. When he entered the mansion, Feng Sheng called the housekeeper and asked him to set up a banquet in the hall, and he wanted to get drunk with the two princes.

Feng Sheng is a greedy person, so he has a way to collect money, and the decoration in the mansion is magnificent. The housekeeper Feng Fu gave an order, and the kung fu banquet was packed up after a while, because of the simplicity of eating at noon, everyone was a little not full, so they didn't start eating politely.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Feng Sheng called Feng Fu, whispered a few words, and after a while, the singers in the house performed in the middle of the banquet with songs and dances. Although it looked beautiful, the three of them had never seen anything, and they only smiled slightly. After a while, Lan Yu pointed to the most beautiful singer in the hall and said, "I want this, can the handsome man appreciate face?" ”

Feng Shengleng paused for a moment and said, "No problem, General Lan wants, Huan Ge, you come over and accompany General Lan." ”

The singer hurriedly came over and saluted Lan Yu: "General, the slave family is polite." ”

Lan Yu laughed: "Beauty, General Ben likes you like this, come, sit in General Ben's arms." ”

After a while, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde also hugged a beautiful woman and laughed, and there was a dissolute atmosphere in the room. Lan Yu stood up first, hugged Huan Ge and said to Feng Sheng, "Dashuai, I have to find a place to vent my anger." Feng Sheng waved his hand, and the housekeeper hurriedly came over and led Lan Yu to the back hall, and soon Feng Sheng and Fu Youde also walked to the back hall, and the singing and dancing in the hall were also withdrawn.

About a stick of incense, Feng Sheng was sitting in the wing of the side hall of the back hall, with a "creak", the door was pushed open, Fu Youde and Lan Yu walked in one after another, and sat down behind the table. Everyone was silent and did not speak.

After a while, Lan Yu said, "Dashuai, is it necessary to make it like this?" It's like being a thief. ”

Feng Sheng said: "Jinyiwei is everywhere, and there may not be no Jinyiwei's spies in my house." I came to the two brothers today just to say something. ”

"Boss, please speak."

"You say, what do you mean by the emperor and the emperor's grandson engaging in this deduction?"

Both of them were silent, what does Zhu Yuanzhang mean, this question is difficult to guess, and it is easy to guess. Zhu Yuanzhang has been taking back the military power of the veteran over the years and gradually handing it over to his son. Now the imperial grandson is going to engage in war games again, which makes them think of the Song Dynasty's general by Zhongyu. For these veterans, it is ridiculous that the command of the battle is deduced by the Wenchen women in the court, and then sent to the front as a formation map. Now the imperial grandson has found a few little hairy children to deduce the decisive battle of Lingbei, although it seems that the head is the way, but the veteran still does not believe that he can fight like this.

But this is not important, I can't bring a few years of soldiers, the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family, and it has nothing to do with them, but they are just worried about their future and family, and the glory and wealth that they have won from fighting a hundred battles and being born and dying cannot be lost just like that. They all have some illegal and even domineering things, Zhu Yuanzhang enforces the law strictly, and punishes his heroes for a small mistake, because there are many people who die for a trivial matter. For example, Deqing Hou Liao Yongzhong was given to death because of the illegal use of dragons and phoenixes, Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu and his eldest son Zhu Xian were whipped for unjustly killing Lingdaotong in Panyu County, and some time ago Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing was killed with a thin hand (it seems that his son Zhou Ji and the palace people **). To be honest, everyone was a little scared.

"Looking at the emperor's attitude, it seems that he is very satisfied with the imperial grandson, after the kings, the imperial grandson also knows the soldiers, so are we redundant?" Lan Yu said.

"Goo Dong Goo Dong", Fu Youde drank a full bottle of wine, and put it on the table with a "bang": "Lao Tzu was born and died for so many years, but now he is trapped in the capital all day long, it is better to die at home, why do you come out to rebel." ”

"You say, what reason does the emperor want to kill us?" Fu Youde sighed and said.

Feng Sheng laughed out loud: "Reason? As long as you're dead, what's the reason you shouldn't? Besides, are you a saint? The saints are not without accusations, let alone you and me. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Sapphire asked.

"How? Now the military power is in the hands of the emperor, we don't have any military power, and the ones who can be mobilized are the pro-soldiers in the palace. This soldier is overestimating ourselves by hitting a stone with an egg. Feng Sheng said with a sigh of relief.

"You guys?" Lan Yu couldn't help but be speechless, originally he wanted to talk to the two princes about his plans, but he changed his attention, with these two waste wood, how could he compare to him. However, through their tone, they can know that when the day comes, they will not stand on Zhu Yuanzhang's side against themselves, and that is enough.

"Hey, is there really no way?" Fu Youde asked.

"I can't help it, what about you?" Feng Sheng said.

"Neither do I." Lan Yu was silent for a moment and said. What he didn't see was that Feng Sheng and Fu Youde quickly exchanged glances.

After a while, everyone slowly had nothing to say, and went back to their respective rooms, each of which had a sleeping beauty, and when they entered the room, they were easily subdued by the three generals. Now that the matter is discussed, when I see the beauty, I can't help but pounce on the clouds and rain, and it is almost dark before they leave.

Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng's mansion are next to each other, so the two of them went back together, although they were very tired, but they were very excited, so they went to the Wei Mansion together, the two of them bathed first, let the subordinates prepare some side dishes, and the two of them had a drink in the side hall.

After eating for a while, Chang Sheng was younger after all, and couldn't help but pat the table with his hand: "Brother Xu, I'm very excited today, His Royal Highness Taisun really surprised me, I have the impression that His Royal Highness is like a scholar, but I didn't expect to have such an insight into military affairs, although he has no actual combat experience, but his wargame deduction method is really good, if all aspects of the war are comprehensively evaluated, then our soldiers can have their own right to speak, instead of being pressed by civilian officials." ”

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Brother, I'm also surprised, I think His Royal Highness seems to mean to promote the war game deduction, and it is possible that in the future, the imperial court will become a special war room, responsible for battle deduction, then we people will be useful." In this way, there will also be a place for us in peacetime, and the combat effectiveness of the army will not decline too quickly. This is good for Daming and for ourselves. ”

Chang Sheng said excitedly: "So I'm really happy, His Royal Highness Taisun is wise, and we people will also have a bright future." ”

Xu Huizu raised his wine glass and touched it with Chang Sheng, and said, "Cheers to Daming!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Qi De and Huang Zicheng were writing a recital in the Zhan Academy, and the two of them were also very excited and talked very enthusiastically, feeling that His Royal Highness Taisun was not only benevolent, filial and generous, but also very wise.

Geng Xuan and the others still went to Fengmanlou to have a big meal, and returned to their respective mansions drunk, and fell asleep, all tired.

Night, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Jiang Zhen's report on the whereabouts of all the people who went to Zhan Shiyuan today, and when he heard Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu drinking and having fun together, he couldn't help but look pale with a face, and when he heard that they each took a beauty to have fun, he couldn't help but sneer, who is this little trick to deceive? But after that, no one knows. For Xu Huizu and Chang Sheng, he just said "oh", and he didn't pay much attention to Qi De, Huang Zicheng, Geng Xuan and others.

The next night, Zhu Yuanzhang held a banquet for his four sons in the Jinshen Palace, and the public officials in Beijing and the civil officials above the third rank had to attend, and Zhu Yuanzhang was seated on the side, and Zhu Yunwen sat on the side. At the beginning of the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the holy decree, and four princes were inducted, including the king of Ning Daning, the king of Su in Ganzhou, the king of Liao in Guangning, and the king of Qing in Ningxia. However, due to the fact that the mansion has not yet been completed (in fact, some sites have not yet been built), except for the fact that there is no problem with King Ning's residence in Daning, everyone else needs to wait for the mansion to be completed, so King Su temporarily lives in Pingliang, King Liao temporarily lives in Daling Hebei, and King Qing temporarily lives in Weizhou City, leading the local military and political affairs. Zhu Yunwen toasted the four uncles during the banquet and wished them all the best, and the four kings happily accepted the order, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.

The next morning, Zhu Yunwen sent the four uncles out of the city on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang, and outside the Jinchuan Gate, the five of them said goodbye. Zhu Yunwen asked the servant to serve five glasses of wine, served one cup from himself, and gave each of the four kings a cup, and said emotionally: "The four uncles are of the same age as Yunwen, but they have to go thousands of miles to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty. As the descendants of the Zhu family, as the Ming royal family, we have a natural mission, and Yun Wei will also assist the imperial grandfather in Beijing and work hard for the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that the next time we meet, we can all have great changes, and when the time comes, Yun Wei will definitely take the wind and wash the dust for your uncles. ”

King Liao took the wine glass, looked at Zhu Yunwen and said: "Yunwen, you are now the emperor's grandson, and you will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, although I am your uncle, I am about the same age as you, I will do my duty as a Ming prince in Guangning, guard the land and the people, and sweep away the Yuan soldiers." ”

The same is true for the others, 5 people finished drinking the wine in their glasses and said goodbye in tears.

On the fifth day, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to order Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, to train troops in Henan.

The next day, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, the two princes, set off from Jinchuan Gate, and the two of them looked back at the majestic Jingshi Nanjing, and suddenly had a feeling of getting out of the cage.

On the way, Feng Sheng said, "Brother Fu, can we still come back?" ”

"I don't know, I should be able to come back."

"I don't know what happened to Kyori after I came back?"

"Who knows? We can't do anything. ”

It is now the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and it is snowing heavily, and the cars of the two generals are driving far north. Looking from afar, there is an indescribable feeling of gloom and heroic twilight.
