Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Yunwen walk out of the Qianqing Palace, his face changed several times, and he said in a deep voice: "Changfu, what has Yunwen been doing in the past few days?" ”

Changfu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness recently convened Xie Jin and others to discuss things, and transferred the general of the North to march to return to martial arts. ”

"Wang Du?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it in his head, but did not speak.

After a while, Changfu heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "Send someone to pay attention to Yun Wei's situation recently to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Yes, little one." Changfu knelt down to receive the order.

Zhu Yunwen left the Qianqing Palace and returned directly to Duanben Palace, first went to see his mother, but found that his mother was not there. asked the palace maids in the palace, and only then did I know that my mother was in the courtyard of the princess Ma Hui.

At this time, Lu was chatting with Ma Hui, all of which were things that Yun Wei did when he was a child, Lu Shi said interestingly, Ma Hui listened with relish, when Zhu Yun Wei entered the door, he heard Lu Shi talk about himself: "Don't look at Yun Wei like this now, he was very naughty when he was a child, he was very naughty when he was a child, he was on the tree and climbed the wall, once he wanted to eat the fruit on the tree, I told him that it was not ripe, it was sour, he didn't believe it, he climbed up secretly, but he didn't dare to come down, he cried on the tree, and I was scared at the time, and I quickly let the eunuch take the ladder and hug it." I remember that day, Yun Wei's little hands were shaking and frightened. ”

Ma Hui sneered: "Really? His Royal Highness is such a steady and quiet person, can he still be so naughty when he is a child? ”

"Hey, good daughter-in-law, how can a child not be naughty, this estimate is the same in your stomach, and you will be heartbroken when the time comes."

"Oh. And what about later? Ma Hui couldn't help but stroke her lower abdomen.

"Later? It wasn't until after reading that he became obedient, but in the past two years, Yun Wei has become taciturn. However, after the wedding, it has improved a lot, and it is all thanks to Liu Er. ”

Ma Hui lowered her head and said glutinously: "Since Liu'er is His Highness's concubine, he naturally has to work hard to serve His Highness, so that he can handle the government affairs with peace of mind, and other Liu'er can't help." ”

Lu Shi looked at Ma Hui, gently stroked her hair, and said, "Liu'er, you have done a good job, and now the palace and the palace are full of praise for you, which has helped Yun Wei a lot." Now this family is supported by him alone, you have to be considerate of him. ”

"Well, Liu'er knows."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he walked in, first saluted the Lu family, and then said, "Mother, are you talking bad about me again?" ”

Lu Shi smiled: "Hehe, seeing that Liu Er is pregnant, my mother remembered that you were a child, how fast it was, you are going to have a child, and your mother is going to be a grandmother." Now in this family, Liu'er is the biggest, you can't make her angry. ”

"Of course, Liu'er is my dear baby, how dare I make her angry?" As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen sat down next to Ma Hui and hugged her.

Ma Hui hurriedly struggled out: "Don't make trouble, my mother is here." ”

Lu Shi looked at the funny appearance of the two of them and laughed as well.

Waiting for the Lu family to leave, Zhu Yunwen helped Ma Hui to the bed, put a pillow on her, looking at his cautious appearance, Ma Hui's heart was full of happiness, but he said: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that the concubine is in good health, so you don't need to be so careful." ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "How can it be done? The daughter-in-law eats alone, consumes by two people, no matter how good her body is, she has to take good care of it. As he spoke, he put his head on Ma Hui's belly and listened for a while: "Why is there no heartbeat?" ”

Ma Hui hurriedly pushed Zhu Yunwen away in shame: "What are you talking about?" It's only been a month, and it will take at least five or six months to hear it. ”

"Hehe, it looks like I have to wait, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you. ”

"Your Highness can also cook?"

"Absolutely. What does Liu Er want to eat? ”

Ma Hui looked at Zhu Yunwen's serious appearance, sighed, and said, "Liu'er is not hungry, but does His Highness have something on his mind?" Did something happen today? ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, sighed, leaned on the bed, stopped Ma Hui and said, "Liu'er, don't think too much, it's nothing, it's just that there have been too many things in the court recently, and I'm a little tired." ”

Ma Hui snuggled in her husband's arms and said softly: "Your Highness, the concubines have also heard about the affairs of the imperial court. But it's already happening, just try to fix it. In addition, the concubines will take care of themselves, so don't worry too much. The emperor is old, you should care more about the emperor, although you are a monarch, but he is also your grandfather. ”

"Well, Liu'er is right."

After staying with Ma Hui for a while, Zhu Yunwen returned to his dormitory, lit sandalwood, and meditated.

Since Ma Hui can find out that he is abnormal, then as long as he has a heart, others will also find out, so he must be cautious, if the imperial grandfather finds that he is not the same as what he seems, he will be in trouble. So be still, meditate......

Since then, Zhu Yunwen's life has returned to normal, reviewing the recitals in the morning, reading in the Zhan Shifu in the afternoon, chatting with Zhu Yuanzhang in the evening, and reporting the events of the day; Occasionally, I go back to the Martial Arts College, the College of Engineering, and the College of Agriculture.

On the day of February 25, Zheng Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who went to Wuliangha Sanwei to announce the decree, returned to Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him in the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Yunwen sat with him.

Zheng Yi was born in the Pujiang Zheng family, known as "the first in the south of the Yangtze River", from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, there was never a corrupt official. Zheng Yi entered the office in white, and suddenly became a high-ranking official, but no one was unconvinced, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

But at this time, Zheng Yi was covered with dust, his clothes were full of dust, and he was even a little staggering. He said in a hoarse voice: "The minister arrived at the upper reaches of the river on February 10, but was stopped outside the Duoyanwei station. After the minister showed the seal of the Ming Dynasty, he was welcomed into the station. ”

"The one who received the minister was a young man who called himself Hai Fu Er, the younger brother of the leader of Duoyanwei, Har Wu. When asked about his brother's whereabouts, he said that by the order of King Da Ming Ning, the leader of the three guards led the cavalry to fish in the sea. ”

"When it comes to the matter of the horse market, he said that he can't be the master, and he can only wait for the big leader to come back."

"Therefore, the minister had to return to Beijing to resume his life."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen asked knowingly: "Zheng Shilang, when you talk about the horse market, what is his specific expression, can you see it?" ”

"This, the minister felt that he was a little happy at first, but then he was a little disappointed, maybe he couldn't be the master."

"Well, how much of Sanwei's army has been transferred?"

"This, the minister doesn't know the exact number, but according to the minister's observation, there are really not many strong men in the camp, and martial law is already on the periphery of the camp."

"Well, okay, you've worked hard, go down."

After Zheng Yi went down, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map for a while, and suddenly said: "Yun Wei, what do you think of the situation of Wuliang Ha Sanwei?" ”

Zhu Yunwen thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks it's quite normal, Wuliang Ha Sanwei belongs to Uncle Ning Wang's dispatch, and it's a good thing to be transferred according to orders." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Yun Wei, you only see the surface, the Mongols are untrustworthy, and they are so happy to obey the transfer that is what worries me." Do you think what will happen to our army if the Uliangha suddenly appear or suddenly betray during the decisive battle between your Uncle Ning and the Mongols? Wasn't it because of the rebellion of the servant army that the Tang Army lost the Western Regions? ”

"It's impossible, isn't the Wuliang Ha Sanwei a vassal of my Daming? Aren't they afraid of my revenge? Zhu Yunwen was a little incredulous.

"Hehehe," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly let out a hawk-like laugh, and the Qianqing Palace seemed to be shrouded in a trace of gloomy atmosphere, he turned to look at Yun Wei: "Yun Wei, if our army is defeated this time, the army will not be able to get out of the fortress in the short term, and naturally it will not be able to retaliate against Wu Liangha, so what are they afraid of?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback by Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy gaze, and couldn't help but fall to his knees: "This failure is all a failure of the grandson's plan, please punish the emperor's grandfather." ”

"Reprimand? How can I punish you? The Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will lose 50,000 cavalry, and a prince, a founding candidate, and at least three or more commanders will be in command, which is a major defeat that has never been seen since the founding of the country. ”

"Grandpa Huang, grandson, grandson......" Zhu Yunwen was speechless.

Long.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson and sighed softly: "Get up, Yunwen, I don't blame you this time, your original plan was to let King Yan out of the plug, so that even if you don't win, you won't be defeated; However, King Yan fell ill unexpectedly and has not been able to go out so far, so he can only let King Ning replace him, I am worried about his ability, so I only let him sweep Kaiping, but I didn't expect him to sophistry to chase the enemy, which caused a catastrophe. ”

"Now I can only hope that Fu Youde can arrive in time to rescue your Uncle Ning Wang, otherwise, alas, I have fought all my life, but I ended up with this result......"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's heartbroken voice, Zhu Yunwen's heart was like a knife, he couldn't help crying, walked forward on his knees, hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's legs, and said: "Grandpa Huang, don't be sad, I believe General Fu will definitely be able to do it, he is the most warlike general in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.

I don't know how long it took, the statue-like Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, his face had regained his calm, pulled Zhu Yunwen up, and said, "Yunwen, things are already like this, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, suddenly woke up, pondered for a moment, and said: "Unless this time is lucky, the Ming Dynasty will lose tens of thousands of cavalry, and it will not be able to get out of the fortress in the short term." Because Yun Wei intends to maintain a defensive position for three years and maintain the three prominent strongholds of Suiyuan, Kaiping, and Daning. At the same time, he raised horses and tuntian in Hetao and Liaodong, and when the time was ripe, he first conquered Uliangha, and then sent troops from Uliangha to conquer Mobei Mongolia. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to his grandson's words, thought for a while, and then said: "Very good, Yun Wei, first of all, you can't lose your fighting spirit, for the Mongols, if you take one step back, he will take two steps forward, and you can't get used to their kind of problem; secondly, it is necessary to have a rich country in order to strengthen the army, and remember not to use military force at all; In the end, you must carefully consider this by sending troops to guard the selection of generals, and I am careless this time......"
