Xu Xueyan, the left chief of the Chu Palace, went straight to the core of the sensitive question, and Zhu Zhihan sighed in his heart.

Quite different from the Liao lineage, the relationship between the Chu line and the imperial line is very close.

The first generation of Chu king of the Ming Dynasty was named Zhu Zhen, who was the sixth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Zhen was named the king of Chu; In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Zhen took over the land of Chu, shouldered the heavy responsibility of ruling Chen Youliang's old land, and became an important barrier for Nanjing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. At that time, the south was not peaceful, Zhu Zhen held a heavy army, and fought everywhere, and the princes and generals such as Xinguo Gong Tang He and Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing were subject to his control.

In the first year of Jianwen, the Battle of Jingyan began, and the imperial court raised a large army to conquer Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Although the Yan army won several victories, the battlefield was always revolving in Hebei and Shandong, and it could not cross the Yellow River. Jinan, a fortress that hindered the southward movement of the Yan army, was impregnable under the leadership of Tie Xuan and could not be conquered in a short period of time.

Seeing that the Yan army was in danger of being consumed to death, Zhu Di listened to the advice of Daoyan monk and other strategists, and adopted the strategy of leaving Jinan and going straight south to attack Nanjing. The Yan army made a desperate bet and went south. He was first defeated at Qimei Mountain (in the territory of present-day Lingbi), but soon turned defeat into victory in Lingbi. After that, the morale of the Yan army soared, and they drove straight in, crossed the Huai River, crossed the Yangtze River, and finally entered Nanjing.

In hindsight, King Yan's strategy of driving south was perfect, but the parties understood where the risks of this strategy were.

The biggest risk is Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River! If Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, stood on the side of Jianwen, the Chu army dispatched in time and went down the river to reinforce Nanjing, Zhu Di had a strong city in front of the river, and then there were Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's pursuers to follow, and the Yan army hung alone on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

However, the huge Chu army never left Chu from beginning to end. Zhu Zhen ignored Emperor Jianwen's tearful edict of King Qin, and sat back and watched his self-immolation die (or disappear). Zhu Di ascended the throne, and Zhu Zhen immediately went to the congratulatory table. Zhu Di reciprocated the favor and gave him the title of Zongzheng.

Later generations speculated about Zhu Zhen's performance in the Battle of Jingyan, and some people said that he was stimulated by the self-immolation of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, so he did not support Jianwen; Some people say that he has hooked up with Zhu Di a long time ago, and his eyebrows are coming. In short, the relationship between the Chu clan and the imperial family was not ordinary. The people of the Chu Domain have committed many lawlessness, strange cases have emerged in an endless stream, and the local grievances have been repeated, and the imperial family has never touched the Chu Domain, which is the proof.

Zhu Zhihan, who had prepared his homework before leaving, of course knew all this.

Now the governor of Chu Mansion asks if the prince has trained soldiers, what does this mean? Is he ready to complain to the court?

Of course, Zhu Zhihan, who sticks to the hair more refined than a monkey, will not be fooled. He immediately snorted and used the official statement of the Shu Wangfu to reply to Xu Xueyan, such as borrowing soldiers from Tusi, such as helping the righteous army, and put the familiar Longmen array in Shu such as the Yazhou Rebellion, the night attack on Niujiaozhai, and the Jiangkou War.

Zhu Zhihan went around in circles, and Xu Xueyan also realized that he was abrupt. It happened that the meal was about to arrive, and he hurriedly called for wine and food, and everyone talked while eating.

A table of good dishes, especially all kinds of fish dishes, made Zhu Zhihan salivate. He didn't even care to talk to people. A pair of chopsticks flew up and down, and the two cheeks were round.

"Eat slowly! Beware of fish bones stuck in the throat! It's the Zhu family, how can they be like hungry ghosts released from the cell? ”

The little girl of the county lord is the oldest and the youngest, and she will say whatever she sees, without caring about the faces of individual people.

A few people sucked the meat off the tail of the steamed Wuchang fish, and sighed contentedly: "Feast on it!" ”

"The Shu domain is also a rich domain! The emperor issued an order, let the little prince pay the money to make up for all the money of your sect, these county lords know! Why didn't he give you some silver taels when he came out this time? Anyway, you also open a bank, and you don't have silver as capital, how can you open a bank? ”

Zhu Zhihan wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and said with a smile: "Qianzhuang has a lot of silver, but it can't be moved." It was not the nephew's, but the shareholder's. Besides, the "Fuxing Daily" said that the son of the world spoke, and the aunt and grandmother saw it. He called on all the clans to save grain, pay the army to help the poor, and also donated all the 100,000 stone of grain stored in the palace to Jiangnan at a low price. He himself took the lead in setting an example, cloth and light food, how can I be embarrassed to eat big fish and meat? ”

Zhu Fengde pursed his lips and sneered: "Which emperor is not like this?" One set on the lips, one on the heart! You are the Zhu family, how can you take it seriously? ”

This time, Zhu Zhihan didn't laugh. He shook his head and said, Shizi is a man who does what he says. Before he left, he was summoned by the prince and saw with his own eyes a set of gray cloth robes on his body. He also heard from the veterans of the caravan that when Yazhou Renshou suppressed the thieves, the prince ate and lived with the soldiers, sat on the ridge and slept on the grass, except for a golden crown and a horse, which was no different from ordinary soldiers. During the attack on the Niujiaozhai bandits, the prince's daughter-in-law slept in the open air in the open air, and there was not even a tent. And the prince reclined by the wheels, leaning against the bonfire to warm himself and fall asleep.

Zhu Zhihan's original intention was to emphasize the benevolence and righteousness of the Shu Domain, and he played the piano to the cow.

"There are still such love and righteousness among the vassal kings of the world!" The little girl held her heart in her hands and looked fascinated. Xu Changshi was about to speak, but she interrupted him and said: Changshi Si chose a husband for her, and she must find a young talent like Shu Shizi who is intimate and warm-hearted!

"The lower officials will obey the will of the county!" Xu Xueyan responded with a smile.

"Never allow the county to take a concubine! You're only allowed to like me only in this life! The little girl added loudly, "They didn't take a concubine in that life!" ”

Zhu Shengmiao couldn't help but correct his cousin: "What a county horse!" That's called Yibin! ”

"I like to call it a county horse! The princess man is a colt, and the lord man is the marquee! ”

Zhu Zhihan finally interjected: "According to the county lord, the princess man should be called a stallion!" A male horse that has nothing to ride! ”

Ha! Ha! Zhu Shengmiao and Xu Xueyan suddenly laughed.

The little girl was so angry that she went out to blow the cold wind, and the three of them finally became much cleaner.

Xu Changshi glanced at Zhu Shengmiao with a smile, Zhu Shengmiao nodded lightly, Xu Xueyan turned his head to stare at Zhu Zhihan and said: "This official recently heard a news: the Sichuan army defeated the local tyrants in Baoning Mansion, killed two thief chieftains, and thousands of heads became Jingguan, is this true?" ”

The victory in the Battle of Changping Mountain spread to Huguang so quickly, and the news spread so quickly! Zhu Zhihan thought. He couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to. He wanted to use this matter to prove the power of the Shu Wangfu behind Huitong Qianzhuang, so he explained in detail what he knew.

That Xu Changshi clapped his hands towards the stairs, and the big-ass palace maid soon came over with a stack of newspapers.

Xu Changshi handed a newspaper to Zhu Zhihan: "Son, please look, this is Fuxing Daily." The most recent article published the news of the Battle of Changping Mountain. The caravan in this battle, but the caravan mentioned by the young man? It seems that this caravan is another name for the pro-army of Shu Shizi? ”

Zhu Zhihan was extremely remorseful in his heart: "Hey, there will be a lot of wine and talk, and if you talk too much, you will lose it!" Now the wind is revealed! ”

"Childe don't panic!" Looking at the frustration in Zhu Zhihan's eyes, Xu Xueyan, who finally had the upper hand, proudly put away the newspaper and let the big-ass palace maid out again.

"Wuchang, the thoroughfare of all provinces, is very well-informed! The world is in such chaos, and our Chu clan is not all insensitive! To tell you the truth, with Childe: Every month, someone sends back the latest news from Chengdu. ”

"If there is something to say in the long history, you can say it clearly." Zhu Zhihan regained his composure.

Xu Changshi suddenly took out the revival newspaper, indicating that their understanding of Shu was much deeper than Shizi's expectations. So how deep is this understanding, whether it is hostile or goodwill to Shudi, you must figure it out yourself. According to the internal statement of the Political Research Office, this is strategic intelligence, which is more important than Chu Fan's 180,000 taels of silver!

Zhu Zhihan confessed, Xu Xueyan stroked his palms and laughed: "What is this caravan?" ”

"This is a homeless person bought by the prince. When the incident happened to Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the left guard, the prince eliminated the left guard and mixed it with the homeless. The Sichuan government knows about this. They wish someone would fight for them, and they don't have to pay for it! The government submitted a letter to the imperial court and directly called it the righteous army. ”

"How many people are there in the caravan?"

"This is military discipline, how does this son know?"

"There are always a thousand, right?" Xu Xueyan smiled and said, "What is the Zhuang Guardian Team?" ”

Zhu Zhihan gradually felt the pulse of Xu Xueyan and Zhu Shengmiao, and his confidence became more and more full.

"It's simple. It is Wang Zhuang Zhuang Ding. Train soldiers in your spare time, and be a thief in wartime! Xu Changshi asked, this son has already answered one by one, and now this son wants to ask Xu Changshi: Chu Mansion gold and silver, willing to stay in Wuchang to be a thief? ”

"Shu Shizi invests everywhere, and now he is short of money, and he wants to return some gold and silver to issue silver banknotes. These officials know this. Xu Xueyan smiled happily, "It's just the gold and silver of the Chu Palace, why can't you stay in Wuchang?" If Chu Mansion also has a strong army. Wuchang Jiancheng, how can it be a thief to take a peep? Well, the name of the rebel army is well used! The Shu domain is available, and the Chu domain is also available! The Sichuan government turned a blind eye, how could the Huguang government oppose it? ”

Xu Xueyan was triumphant, but Zhu Shengmiao's smile was faintly bitter. The back-and-forth confrontation made Zhu Zhihan gradually see the wishful thinking of Xu Xueyan and Zhu Shengmiao.

He had the bottom in his heart, so he thought of what the prince once said, and quoted it to Xu Xueyan and Zhu Shengmiao: "Zhao Pu once said to Song Taizong: If the husband wants to fight the outside, he must first settle inside!" Wuchang controls the Han River of the Yangtze River, and Nanjing is one east and one west, shielding half of the Ming Dynasty. The prince of Shu took it as his responsibility to protect the country and the people, and the peace of the world, and the Chu domain wanted to train himself to strengthen the army, and the Shu domain was of course happy to see it. I can forgive my son for bluntly saying that with the current situation of the Chu Domain, I am afraid that the army will not succeed and the world will be slandered and complained! If Wang Zhuang is in charge, can the king of Chu become a success? I'm afraid not! If the guards reduce rents and divide their businesses, can the king of Chu succeed? I'm afraid not! If Zhuang Ding becomes an army, can the king of Chu become an army? I'm afraid not! Nothing like this, although Xu Changshi is trusted by the King of Chu, how can he do anything? The prince of Chu is old and childless, and the eldest grandson is a relative of the bloodline, and he will inherit the heir in the future. However, the prince of Chu has not been able to shake the three-hundred-year-old illness of the Chu clan, can the eldest grandson succeed? ”

Xu Xueyan was slapped in the head by Zhu Zhihan's words, and was a little stunned. can think carefully about Zhu Zhihan's statement, it is indeed not unreasonable.

The fields of the Chu Domain are not less than those of the Shu Domain, but for the distribution of the harvest of these Wangzhuang, the people of the Chu Domain have already turned their faces. For example, the relationship between the small sects of King Wugang, the King of Dong'an, and the King of Jiangxia in the county king, and the small sects such as the great sect of the Chu domain and the King of Xuanhua, who supported the large sect, was like fire and water. Even if the ancestors are sacrificed on the first day, they don't even say anything.

The attitude towards the king of Chu in the Huguang official mansion is also divided into two extremes. One extreme is the high state of Huguang Inspector. He shouted every day that he wanted to choose a husband for Zhu Fengde among his students, which made the stupid girl dizzy, thinking that others were good to her, but she didn't know that others just took a fancy to the money of the Chu Palace. At the other extreme was Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang. Under the pretext of the importance of the ancestral tomb of Chengtian, he transferred all the soldiers and horses to defend the provincial capital early. is a huge provincial city, and there is only one reinforcement battalion for General Cui Wenrong!

The Huguang gentry and common people had a worse impression of the Chu Domain, and some people openly threatened to "destroy the Chu Domain" long ago.

Xu Xueyan thought and glanced at the silent Zhu Shengmiao.

The future heir of the Chu Palace's mansion was not very enthusiastic about military training. He was more concerned about how to see the results of throwing out a lot of silver. Once the recruitment and training of troops in the Chu Mansion is blocked by the government or the imperial court, he will definitely take the lead in getting out. Because what he cares about most is only when to inherit the throne of the Chu Domain, and how to sit firmly on the throne of the Chu Domain!

Could it be that the person who has a social heart in his heart, Chu Fan only has the ears of the old man? Xu Xueyan smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he couldn't easily admit defeat in front of Zhu Zhihan, the envoy of the Shu Domain, so he had to ask Zhu Zhihan with a strong smile: "Outside the gates of Hanyang and Pinghu in Wuchang City, there are many homeless people on weekdays. If my Chu Mansion follows the example of Shu Mansion and recruits displaced people as an army, can it be successful? ”
