"Lord Wang, major events have been prepared, our sergeants have now expanded to 150,000, in addition to Xuanfu, Jizhou, Shanhaiguan and other important towns in the north more than 80,000 soldiers stationed in case the Tartars go south, the rest of the newly recruited soldiers are scattered in the suburbs of Beiping, as well as Shunde Mansion, Baoding Mansion and other places in the south, Yanshan guards thousands of households General Zhu Neng is training the new army at night, waiting for the prince to do something......"

Dao Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, the Ming Lord who had been supporting for many years finally dived into the dragon and was about to soar into the sky, and his Dao Yan's lifelong ideals and ambitions would soon be realized, for him, Zhu Di's success was his success, he wanted to prove to the world that he Dao Yan was not only a monk chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, but also the first strategist comparable to Shu Han Kongming! He can assist the Ming Lord and achieve a great cause, and Yixue was ashamed of failing in the former Jingshi Rite Department.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan's expression became more and more excited, the words "lifting things" and "great cause" were boiling in his heart, and the rebellious factor hidden deep in the bone marrow became active, and he even felt that the meaning of his life was for Zhu Di's rebellion, and he devoted himself to enjoying this sense of achievement from scratch, gaining momentum step by step, and finally winning the world.

Zhu Di quietly looked at Dao Yan's eyes full of violent and murderous intent, and his thin and weak body like a bloodthirsty sick tiger waiting for an opportunity, the passion in Zhu Di's heart seemed to have been ignited, and the fire in his chest burned.

"The great cause can be expected, Mr. should be the first hero of this king, ranked as the third duke, and his achievements will be glorious through the ages!" Zhu Di's eyes flashed with excitement.

Dao Yan suddenly calmed down and said, "Lord Wang, the newly recruited sergeants are not trained enough, and we can't be too happy at this time, we don't have the strength to fight with the imperial army......"

Zhu Di also calmed down when he heard this, and said, "When will the newly recruited sergeant be ready to fight?" ”

"One year, at least one year, they are only a little stronger than ordinary people now, they will not order soldiers on the battlefield, soldiers do not know the generals, and the war will be defeated!"

"A year? It's too long...... This king is worried that the imperial court will not be so slow to cut the domain, judging from the various actions of the imperial court now, Zhu Yunwen is in a very anxious mood to cut the domain, and he will not give this king a chance to breathe......" Zhu Di frowned.

Dao Yan said in a deep voice: "However, we have to delay for a year, now the imperial army is distributed in the Ming Dynasty with nearly 1,000 guards, millions of military households, such a huge force, I am afraid it will be difficult to win with my 150,000 soldiers in Beiping alone, not to mention that nearly half of the 150,000 soldiers under the command of the prince are still newly recruited new troops, and the combat power is getting weaker and weaker. ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "You can't advance, you can't retreat, is this king really going to be cut down by Zhu Yunwen to go to the domain, return to Beijing alone, and be a powerless and powerless uncle?" ”

Dao Yan smiled: "How can the prince say such frustrating words? Although the number of the imperial court army is large, but I have been founding the country for more than 30 years, the first emperor is wise and powerful, so that all countries submit, there has been no war in the country for a long time, the court soldiers put the knife into the sheath, the horse put Nanshan, has already secretly tasted twilight, under the elimination of the other, the prince still has a great chance, besides, this matter is not possible with the prince's own strength, but if the prince can persuade another prince to help, under the unity of the two armies, our victory rate is naturally greater, and the great cause should be a fight! ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Another prince helps?" Who will help me? ”

Dao Yan smiled: "King Ning, Zhu Quan." ”

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and then frowned deeply, and said: "The relationship between the seventeenth brother and the brother of this king has always been very good, he has the right to Daning, I have the right to Beiping, the two places are adjacent, and in the past, the two armies often attacked together, and fought against the remnants, our brothers went into battle together, and the cooperation was quite tacit, but ...... This is a rebellion! Although the seventeenth brother is young and has a hot surname, he is not stupid, he can take the lead in killing the Tartars, if he rebels, I am afraid he will not agree......"

Dao Yan smiled: "If he doesn't agree, you can think of a way to force him to agree...... It's really not possible, just borrow an elite division under his command and use it. ”

Zhu Di's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "What does Mr. mean, that elite refers to the ...... under the command of the seventeenth brother Duoyan Sanwei? ”

Dao Yan said with a smile: "Yes, Duoyan Sanwei is a Mongolian cavalry, brave and good at fighting, and it can be used to deal with the imperial infantry to achieve miraculous results, how can such an elite be wasted in the hands of King Ning?" Whether King Ning is willing to help the prince or not, that's a trivial matter, but Duoyan Sanwei, the prince must try his best to get it! With this division, it can be worth a million troops! ”

Zhu Di's expression was uncertain, the expression on his face was changeable, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth fiercely: "Those Mongolian cavalrymen have no loyalty, and wealth can move their hearts, okay!" This king thought of a way to accept Duoyan Sanwei! ”

Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di with a smile, if Duoyan Sanwei accepted it, the prince might really have the capital to fight with the imperial court, and the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace seemed to be no longer out of reach...... Having said the right thing, Zhu Di suddenly hesitated and said, "Sir, that Xiao Fan ......"

Dao Yan said with a smile: "And reassure him for a few days, the poor monk has opened his pockets, waiting for him to drill in, once he gets in, his death will come, and he died properly, the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can not find out the prince's fault......"

Zhu Di finally showed a satisfied look when he heard this, and said with a smile: "So, Mr. bothered." ”

Xiao Fan entered Beiping City on the fourth day, Yan King Zhu Di's madness was cured without medicine, of course the people of Beiping did not know that Zhu Di pretended to be crazy, and when they heard that Yan Wang was cured, the people in the city were elated, and they ran to tell each other, and everyone said that Yan Wang was cured, and the court would not change the vassal king, and Yan Wang could forever town Beiping from now on.

So Beiping is full of joy, Xiao Fan saw it in his eyes, his heart became heavier and heavier, it seems that Zhu Di has run Beiping too well, his status in the hearts of the people is unacceptable, unbreakable, Beiping is Zhu Di's base, Zhu Di is used to being good at buying people's hearts, and enjoys such high prestige and praise among the people, he has made the officialdom and the people of Beiping Mansion form a trend of "only knowing that there is a Yan King, not knowing that there is an emperor", which is by no means a good thing for the imperial court.

There are also a very small number of Beiping Juzi and Xiucai quite insightful, hearing that King Yan is cured, they have shaken their heads and sighed silently, they understand that King Yan is crazy, the court may not aim at him, King Yan still has a chance to breathe, but King Yan is sick, a sober prince with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and many generals under his command is absolutely dangerous, and the court is bound to be strict against King Yan, and King Yan has put himself on the cusp.

Xiao Fan's heart is heavy, but he will not treat himself badly.

The first thing out of the Yan Wang's Mansion was to order his subordinates to spread around the city, saying that Yan Wang had been crazy for a long time, and Qin Cha Xiao Fan was anxious in his eyes, so he ignored his own skills and personally entered the palace to treat Yan Wang's madness.

As soon as the rumors spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the people of the country believed in the rumors very much, and suddenly realized when they heard it, and they invisibly looked at Xiao Fan, the old man, and thanked Xiao Fan for saving King Yan.

Zhu Di learned that Xiao Fan had such a good reputation for beating him, and he was so angry that he smashed countless teacups, cups, saucers and vases in the palace, but the people were convinced of this statement and could not be reversed.

Not only did he suffer a dumb loss, Zhu Di also had to put on a smiling face to entertain Xiao Fan, the dignified vassal king dragon vein, after knowing Xiao Fan, I don't know how much anger and how many grievances, Zhu Di began to feel that his surname was gradually distorted in the direction of being abused...... On the night of the second day after Xiao Fan left Yanwang's Mansion, Zhu Di sent someone to send a post to invite Lord Qincha and Fang Xiaoru and Taixu to a banquet in Baihualou in the west of Beiping City, chatting about receiving the wind for Qincha.

Xiao Fan led Fang Xiaoru, Taixu happily went to the banquet, and Qin Cha Xingyuan left Cao Yi to lead the pro-army to guard in case of accidents.

Wearing a snow-white robe, a piece of Ruyi jade pendant hanging obliquely from his waist, a folding fan in his hand shook gently, and as soon as he got off the official sedan chair, Xiao Fan's handsome appearance attracted the attention of the wine ladies and female guests in the Baihualou.

Looking up, I saw that the Baihua Building was more than ten zhang high, the eaves were flying rolls, the glazed roof, the building was resplendent and brilliant, luxurious and luxurious, the guards of Yanwangfu stood on both sides of the gate, and when Xiao Fan and others arrived, the guards respectfully introduced them into the secluded courtyard behind the building.

The courtyard is surrounded by a verdant and straight bamboo forest, the bamboo forest branches and leaves are dense, the evening breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, adding a little cool and tranquil meaning to the midsummer night.

Fang Xiaoru walked behind Xiao Fan, took a deep breath, and groaned with an intoxicated face: "Whoever grows hundreds of Xiaoxiao rods, and the companion is called an idle official." Don't compete for spring with the young, stay alone and wait for the cold ......"

Taixu and Xiao Fan walked side by side in front, and when they heard Fang Xiaoru chanting poems, Taixu muttered in a low voice: "What is the old Fang talking about?" Shouldn't you change your way to write poems and scold me? Didn't you just deceive him for eight taels of silver, look at the stinginess of these sour and rotten literati......"

Xiao Fan squinted at him and snorted, "You don't know how to learn, right?" People are praising bamboo, and they have a fart relationship with you! ”

It's too vain: "Bamboo? Bamboo for basketry? ”

Xiao Fan sighed and muttered, "Something changes its taste when it comes to your mouth, why am I so stupid to worship you, the master......"

"Isn't bamboo used to make baskets?" It's too vain and rhetorical.

Xiao Fan said helplessly: "In addition to basket weaving, bamboo also has many elegant uses, such as making flutes, flutes, and so on......"

Taixu was taken aback, and said with wide eyes: "The flute is made of bamboo?" ”

"Or what do you think it's made of?"

"Poor Dao thought it was a ...... made of meat"

Xiao Fan: "............"

Passing through the bamboo forest, it is a set of exquisite courtyards, the corridor in front of the courtyard is tortuous, the corridor is built into an artificial stream with mountain stones in front of the corridor, the stream is gurgling and flowing, a small bridge carved by willow wood above the stream, the bridge body is carved with birds and beasts, quite a bit of antiquity.

In the northern borderland, there is such an exquisite courtyard comparable to the garden in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be impressed when he saw it.

Across the small bridge is the front yard, Zhu Di is dressed in purple civilian clothes, burly figure, cold and dark face, and actually wears a casual dress out of the momentum of armor, as if he is not a banquet for guests, but a leader to go on an expedition, adding a lot of killing atmosphere to this elegant and plain courtyard.

Seeing Xiao Fan and others coming, Zhu Di smiled heartily, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness of yesterday, he strode forward and laughed loudly: "Qin sent to Beiping to say that this king has an old illness, and he has never given Lord Qin Cha a wind, this king is really lazy, Lord Xiao, Beijing has been farewell, it has been more than a year, long gone!" ”

Xiao Fan also seemed to have completely completed the farce of the two of them fighting yesterday, and laughed when he heard the words, and bowed his hand and said: "The prince is polite, the prince has recovered from a serious illness, it is really gratifying, the prince has been in the north of Xinjiang for a long time, his prestige is far and wide, and the country's important weapon is also, and now he can see that the prince is safe, and the lower officials are overjoyed in their hearts, this is the great luck of the country, and the great luck of the society!" ”

The two of them complimented each other without smiling, and the smile on their faces was so fake that they even covered their cheeks so sour that they couldn't do it, and then as if they had completed a job, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, which showed how bad the two of them were.

Zhu Di turned his eyes and saw Fang Xiaoru behind Xiao Fan, Zhu Di looked puzzled: "This is ......"

Fang Xiaoru stroked his green beard and said with a light smile: "The official filial piety, the Hanlin waiter will lecture on the bachelor." ”

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "But Mr. Zhengxue, who Brother Shu has always respected?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said indifferently: "The name is too much, don't mention it." ”

Zhu Di's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said solemnly: "Mr. is a great talent, he is full of knowledge and Confucianism in the world, and his fame is all over the world. ”

After that, Zhu Di hurriedly straightened his clothes and crown, and officially shook Fang Xiaoru to the ground.

Fang Xiaoru hurriedly avoided and let go, not daring to do so.

Zhu Di turned his eyes, and saw that he was bored on the side, scratching his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but wonder: "This is ......?"

Taixu hurriedly looked full, revealing a fairy wind and a vague smile, so unfathomable...... Xiao Fan hurriedly introduced: "This is the master of the lower official, his origin is amazing......"

Zhu Di suddenly said with respect: "Oh? I don't know if the old immortal is willing to give the name of the immortal? ”

Xiao Fan said proudly: "He is the real person of the first emperor's imperial seal......

Zhu Di was taken aback, and hurriedly slammed it to the ground: "Ah! It turned out to be an old fairy Zhang, please be worshiped by this king......"

“…… 's junior brother. Xiao Fan added slowly.

Thump!

Zhu Di couldn't control his body, and he stumbled and fell.

Several guards were shocked and helped him up: "Lord Wang! Are you alright? ”

Zhu Di shook off the hand of the guard, glared at Xiao Fan fiercely with a little embarrassment, and said coldly: "Lord Xiao, this king has set up a banquet in the room, please come to the table." ”

After speaking, Zhu Di snorted heavily, and walked alone to the wing room in the courtyard without looking back.

Taixu stared at Zhu Di's back with a stupid face and scolded in a low voice: "Dog face! ”

"Master, don't mind, Uncle Shi will definitely not survive you, so you won't have to live in his shadow at that time......" Xiao Fan comforted.

Looking back, seeing Fang Xiaoru staring at Zhu Di's back with a thoughtful expression, Xiao Fan hurriedly said: "Lord Fang, don't be deceived by the appearance of King Yan's corporal Lixian, he looks like this to everyone, you cultural people are dead-eyed, and others are dead to make you a confidant, don't be stupid, don't forget, you have a blood feud with him......"

Fang Xiaoru frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Is the old man so stupid? Besides, when I met him for the first time, where did the blood feud come from? ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly said: "He killed more than 800 people from your ten clans, did you forget?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said angrily: "You fart!" How can this be? ”

"Not now, but definitely in the future! Your old Fang family all died in his hands......"

“…………”
