In later generations, Zhu Ao was a high-achieving student majoring in geography, and he has been teaching geography since graduation, so what he has learned in his life has never been returned to his teacher. In addition, he had a very unsatisfactory life after work, and he opened Google Earth to spend time when he had nothing to do, and his favorite study was the geography of the Eurasian continent, and he knew the topography of this area well, and he was more familiar with the Forbidden City than Lao Zhu.

The previous King Su was a calligrapher, calligraphy is the basis of painting, and if calligraphy is practiced, painting is not difficult. Later generations of Zhu Ao inherited this ability, so it was not difficult to draw a map, and it took only five days to draw a map for Lao Zhu that he had dreamed of.

With this thing, Lao Zhu should agree to my request. It's really the most ruthless emperor's family, and you have to rely on trading to order things from your own relatives.

Zhu Ao walked out of the study and stretched a big lazy waist. Damn, I almost made myself moldy for this, my brother is also a prince, as for it?

Dai Nu had been waiting outside the study for Zhu Ao's summons, and when he saw Zhu Ao coming out of the house, he said, "Lord, it's done?" ”

Zhu Ao pinched Dai Nu's little face and said, "It's done, whether this king can make great achievements in the northwest depends on it." Go and fold it for me, and don't break it. ”

It was the first time that Dai Nu was slighted by Zhu Ao, and he was so frightened that he let out a "ah", and the deer in his heart slammed into him, lowered his head and said shyly: "The king, the prince, ......

Zhu Ao looked at Dai Nu's appearance and smiled unconsciously, the shy woman is the cutest, but now is not the time to pick up girls, it is important to do big things, and said, "Okay." Hurry up and fold it, and the king will enter the palace to face the saint. I'll clean you up when the king returns. ”

Dai Nu's face turned even redder and murmured, "Lord Wang, what did you say? ”

Zhu Ao's face changed, and he said majestically: "What? You still don't want to? ”

"No, no." Dai Nu suddenly showed a look of horror, and hurriedly said: "Slave, slave is for the prince to clean up." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the study.

Hahaha, being a prince is cool, no wonder so many people envy all kinds of second generations.

The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang threw down all the twists and turns, looked intently at the "Geographical Map of Mountains and Rivers in Northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty" on the ground, and was unconsciously fascinated. This map is too detailed, more than any map of northern Xinjiang he has seen before, and many places can be corroborated with the previous map and the actual terrain, and it is impossible to make it up.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it for a while, and then said to Zhu Ao incredulously: "Ao'er, is this really what you painted?" ”

In Zhu Ao's memory, Lao Zhu seemed to call himself like this for the first time, which made his heart warm, and the love of blood and relatives suddenly came to his heart, and said: "Back to my father, it was painted by the child." The child will soon be in the country, and he specially drew this picture to his father. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't believe it, and stared at Zhu Ao with a puzzled and somewhat insightful look, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets in Zhu Ao's heart, and said: "You have never been to Northern Xinjiang, how can you draw this map?" ”

Zhu Ao has been prepared for this problem, of course, he can't say that it was given to him by the gods when he was sleeping, if Lao Zhu believed such nonsense, he would have been killed by Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng N back, and said: "Back to my father, my sons know that Mongolia in northern Xinjiang has always been a big trouble for my father, and my sons only hate themselves for being young, and they can't be like the third brother and the fourth brother who go into battle to kill the enemy and share the worries of their father." Therefore, when he was in the palace, he paid attention to collecting all kinds of information about the geography of northern Xinjiang, and often went to the soldiers and businessmen who had been to northern Xinjiang for verification, and after several years of polishing, he finally drew this map. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze as he stared at Zhu Ao slowly became constricted and relaxed, and it was obvious that he accepted Zhu Ao's answer—which was the only answer that could explain this matter.

Lao Zhu stepped forward, patted Zhu Ao's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." It took a lot of effort to get this picture. ”

Zhu Ao bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern." It is the blessing of the sons to be able to share the worries of their fathers, so as not to live up to their father's teachings to their sons. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ao with satisfaction and said, "Well, you are very filial." I will arrange your country in the next two days, don't worry, I will take good care of your mother. The Father will also arrange for you what you said. These are the heartfelt words of a father to his son who is about to leave the country. This is the first time Zhu Ao has experienced it in his life.

Zhu Ao knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried: "Thank you for your concern." Erchen must do his best to defend the territory for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Good, good, good boy." Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhu Ao up and said, "Get up." Eat at my place tonight. ”

In the past few days, King Su's mansion has been busy, because everyone knows that King Su is about to go to Gansu to become a vassal, and there will be no shortage of outfits, so everyone is busy.

The day before leaving, Gao took Zhu Ao's hand and told him endlessly, eager to bring all the things at home to him. The mother of the child is worried, let alone going to the dangerous place where the soldiers are fighting.

Zhu Ao comforted: "Mother, don't be too sad, the child will go back to Nanjing to see you and his father." ”

Gao's tears were already pouring down, and he cried: "When you come back next time, it may not be time." As a mother, I will never be able to see you every day from now on. ”

Zhu Ao was also moved by Gao's maternal love, and cried: "Mother. After I'm gone, you must take care of yourself. ”

Gao said: "You don't have to worry about me. I am in this high wall and deep palace, the wind can't blow, the rain can't dry, I don't worry about food, I don't have to worry about clothing, what can I do? But you, kid, be careful when you get to that kind of place. You are the prince, if you start a battle, you don't have to rush to the front, don't be brave. When you are impulsive, think that your mother is still waiting for you at home. ”

"Don't worry, Mother. The child has grown up and will take care of himself. Zhu Ao had already stopped crying.

Gao said: "That's right. This child has been with me for many years, kind-hearted, attentive and thoughtful, and understands your habits, take her with you when you leave, with her by your side, you can rest assured that your mother is at ease. ”

Although Zhu Ao likes the little girl Dai Nu very much, she really can't bear to take away her mother's love, and said: "Dai Nu is your personal palace maid, if she leaves, who will serve you?" ”

Gao said: "Don't worry, I still have Yuehong." You don't have anyone around you who knows cold and hot, and you really don't feel at ease. ”

Zhu Ao said: "Then thank you mother." ”

It was time to go on the road the next day, and according to the rules, Zhu Ao was going to the palace to bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang. On the hall, the neatly dressed Zhu Ao bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "My son has grown up, and when my son grows up, he will go to the outside world to break through, how can he stay at home all the time?" If you go, you have to do a good job for me, and you can't embarrass our old Zhu family! ”

Zhu Ao buckled his head and said, "Please rest assured." The retainers will definitely guard the frontier and respect the king. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Well, my son is commendable!" I now order you to act as the military affairs of the five guards of Ganzhou, the capital of Shaanxi. Now the guards in Shaanxi have not gathered, you first stationed in Pingliang (now Pingliang, Gansu, in the southeast of Lanzhou), and then you will go to Ganzhou (Zhangye) after the guards and horses gather. ”

Zhu Ao said: "The son of the minister is in charge." ”
