Returning to Qingyuan Hall from the other courtyard, Zhu Qiming stepped into the hall quickly, and saw Lu Xiyu getting up in a hurry to greet him. After a long time, there was a strange charm in her eyes, and her eyes seemed to inject a bit of concern into his heart.

"I heard that you have returned to the Forbidden City, so I will come over to take a look, do you want to learn the piano?"

"Sister, sit down." Zhu Qiming looked at Lu Xiyu with a smile, his thinking was short-circuited for a moment, and it was not until Lu Xiyu lowered his head slightly that he suddenly woke up and sat down slowly, "In the next few months, I will bid farewell to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, temporarily leave poetry and songs, live in the training ground, be obsessed with military affairs, and think about it all day long, without asking anything else." ”

Lu Xiyu hesitated for a long time before he sat down, "So, you want to stay with a group of martial artists?" ”

Zhu Qiming glanced at Lu Xiyu in surprise, "No, they are not martial artists, they are a group of real men." ”

"What is a real man?"

"My sister should know about the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, right? Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu, and Wen Tianxiang, they are real men, with a heroic and fierce spirit. These real men are dead, and the Qi of the Great Song Dynasty is exhausted, and the rest of the people are slaughtered and enslaved. ”

Lu Xiyu fluttered her long eyelashes, as if she was thinking very seriously. "That'······ Are there many real men in Daming today? ”

"It's hard to say, maybe it depends on the world, and there is no shortage of real men in the world, otherwise ······" The rest of the words Zhu Qiming shook his head instead.

Lu Xiyu pondered for a long time, turned his face slightly, as if to hide something, "You're not a man, you're just a boy." ”

Boy? Is this a gentle admonition to stay away from the war? Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered what happened in the north, Yun Niang said that he was a boy at the beginning, but after a few years, his mental age is growing insanely, and the word boy has been completely eliminated from his subconscious.

A young prince led the crowd on an expedition, which is a strange story in the world. In the endless mentality of avoiding war and maintaining stability, the young emperor's strong desire for pro-government and a young prince's infinite yearning for the vision in his heart form a resonance effect, and it is synthesized into an astonishing scene that seems absurd but is inevitable.

At this moment, Zhu Qiming was reluctant to respond, he felt a little sad in his heart, and said secretly: If you can't become a man now, when you really become an adult, you can only be a captive pig!

After being silent for a long time, Lu Xiyu opened his mouth and stopped talking.

"What does my sister want to say?"

Lu Xiyu was slightly stunned, "Oh, I came from Zhuyuxuan, and Princess Changde funded you with 30,000 taels of silver, and someone has sent it to Yuefu." ”

Zhu Qiming was shocked. It was the only good news he'd heard in days! Could it be that she is worried about my poor pull Xue Huan? As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, he secretly blamed himself for hiding the heart of a villain, a dignified princess, and invested most of the money in the box in an upcoming bloody battle before getting married, this investment is destined to have no half of the return for her, what else is there to say!

"Thank you, Princess Changde, for me."

Lu Xiyu nodded, got up and said, "Princess Changde is still waiting for me, I have to go." Walking to the door, he turned back, took a string of things from his wrist, and handed it to Zhu Qiming, "My mother went to Tanzhe Temple to ask for a string of Buddhist beads for you, you wear it, may the Buddha bless you to return safely." ”

As soon as the figure flickered, I saw the flying skirt floating away like a flowing cloud. Zhu Qiming took the string of Buddhist beads and looked at it, the agate particles with a clear texture were connected by bright red ropes, the surface was smooth, and Lu Xiyu's body temperature remained.

Looking at the empty palace road outside the door, I only felt that what was in my eyes was just chaos, and only the faint red cloud on Lu Xiyu's face before parting was fixed in front of me for a long time. He woke up like a dream and quickly put the Buddha beads on his wrist.

Out of the Qingyuan Palace, calmly looked at the grass and trees on the side of the road, and unconsciously arrived outside the Fengtian Gate.

Go to the training ground, camp there, go to the north after the autumn, maybe you have to go back to the snowflakes in the sky, and when you return to the Forbidden City, you will officially live in the secluded courtyard, think about the palace forbidden single courtyard, he can't help but feel nostalgic for the comfortable time of Yue Mansion and Qingning Palace.

Except for Lu Xiyu, no one came to say goodbye, maybe he should go to the palaces to say goodbye one by one······ That's it, everyone has their own blessings to enjoy, so why bother to increase sadness!

"Treating state affairs as child's play, such an absurd move is really something that has only been seen in the ages!"

A chilling voice floated over, Zhu Qiming raised his eyes, and found that he had actually arrived at the thousand-step corridor, where Yang Rong walked towards him, his face was lonely, but his eyes were very unkind. Yang Rong was followed by a person, who should be Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Qiming can bear this ridicule, and perhaps, there will be endless cynicism waiting for him.

However, personal grievances are like dregs, stirred up and then suddenly flooded. Zhu Qiming stared at Yang Rong, only feeling that the past was like a hangover, when he woke up, the pain in the past turned into a residual discomfort on the body.

"It is too difficult for people in the world to become holy and philosophers, and many times, Confucianism is also unavoidable, and everything is confined to prejudices, and then it will fall into the inferiority. Xiao Wang is still shallow in the world, like a blank piece of paper, he can write a lot of whimsical ideas. And Yang Ge has extraordinary experience, but he has too many old recipes in his heart, so he can't tolerate new strategies! ”

Hu Hu wanted to give a salute, but he was stunned when he heard this, as if he was shocked by this slightly mean words, and immediately shook his head, transforming the judgment of less and more into indifferent body language.

Not far ahead is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Office of the Sixth Ministry, where there are countless smart minds, and these smart minds probably regard his behavior as a child's play, perhaps, only Yang Pu is another person.

Yang Rong, Hu Hu and Zhu Qiming staggered by, and the light in front of them suddenly brightened, but when they saw a figure following behind the two, they looked at it, and it was Yang Pu!

"Why is Your Highness walking around here? Isn't that the way to get to the bottom of things? Yang Pu controlled his pitch, but let his shocked and angry expressions flood freely.

"Xiao Wang was distracted, and accidentally strayed into the Thousand Steps Corridor."

Yang Pu's face softened, he walked closer to Zhu Qiming, and bent down slightly, "Don't be sad here!" Quietly went to camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and quietly drove to the north after autumn, fading out of people's sight. ”

"Xiao Wang is teachable."

Yang Pu turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Elder Yang Ge, the emperor ordered Shang Huaiying, the young eunuch of the Zhidian Palace, to be the eunuch of the supervising army, and he will take up his post in May. This man was very loyal. Zhu Qiming said hurriedly.

"The old man knows about it." Yang Pu pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, the Samarkand mission has been plundered in Hami, and now the monarchs and ministers in the court are furious, and they want to strictly reprimand the king of Hami for being loyal to him. What does His Highness think about this? ”

wants to sow discord everywhere, and even blame others, this is the root cause of the constant disputes between the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding states! In the long run, Daming will inevitably fight fires everywhere, overwhelmed, and inevitably fall into the trap of the Warat people, Zhu Qiming can't help but feel deeply worried about Daming's passive situation.

"Elder Yang Ge, behind this matter must be Warat's secret trouble, Warat makes Daming uncomfortable, and Daming can also make Warat uncomfortable. If Da Ming doesn't want to tear his face with Wara, then he can't have trouble with his own vassal state. quarrel and quarrel with his own feudal states and neighbors everywhere, let Warat watch the excitement on the side, how can Daming still look like a kingdom! ”

Yang Pu smiled at Zhu Qiming, then sighed and left slowly.

······

After leaving the Forbidden City and returning to the training ground in the northern suburbs, Zhu Qiming abandoned all distractions and let his thoughts firmly focus on military affairs.

Tang Ji hurried over with a bright smile on his face. "Your Highness, those pro-guards have really become honest." He couldn't stop laughing.

Zhu Qiming glanced at the guards over there, and saw that they were training well, and everything was as expected, he was only slightly relieved, not as overjoyed as Tang Ji.

"You have ordered people to go back to Yuefu to pack up for this king, and from now on, this king will stay here and stay with you day and night."

"Yes!"

"Pass the order, from today onwards, no one is allowed to take leave, and not a single soldier is allowed to leave the training ground without permission for half a step!"

"Yes!"

Tang Ji took the order and left, and Jiang Yi and Zhao Gang trotted over all the way, clenching their fists and kneeling to salute, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." ”

"Get up." Zhu Qiming commanded, and glanced at Zhao Gang seemingly casually, seeing that he was condescending and respectful, with a villain's face, he was originally angry in his heart, but when he thought of the overall situation of training and preparing for war, he smiled heartily, letting the unhappiness of the past dissipate with the wind.

"The inner treasury has allocated 10,000 taels of silver, and the grace of heaven is vast! Your horses, weapons, and armor are no longer of use, and this king will buy you a new outfit. "I really responded to the saying, the so-called food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, and now Zhu Qiming is holding a lot of silver, and he is full of confidence when he speaks.

Jiang Yi just smiled and didn't answer, Zhao Gang on the side twisted his neck, and finally closed his mouth honestly.

"From now on, the five hundred guards must obey the orders of the king, and the training is like actual combat. The soldier violated the military order three times, and the crime was in the commander! ”

Over there, Jiang Yi suddenly froze, and he stopped laughing, while Zhao Gang held his head high and put on the most rigorous military posture.

"Yes!"

Looking at the backs of Jiang Yi and Zhao Gang leaving, Zhu Qiming thought about the upcoming battle, half expecting and half worried in his heart.

He can't afford to lose! If he loses, as far as the country is concerned, he may be exposed to the reality of the Ming Dynasty, which will lead to the invasion of the Tartar thieves to be more unscrupulous; As far as he is concerned, it will make the countless people waiting to see the joke on the side of the Thousand Steps Corridor get their wish: the so-called young prince goes on an expedition, and it can really only be put into laughter!
