Chapter 562: Entrusted with Heavy Responsibilities
The snowy Beiping is like a sugar cube at the moment, countless military horses gather from all walks like ants, densely packed, inside and outside the city, even camping for dozens of miles, whether it is day or night, it is also very noisy.
In the warm pavilion of the Forbidden City in Beijing, every imperial meeting was being held, and the news brought by the scouts was not unexpected before.
A big war, imperative, in a sense, this is a general reckoning, since Jing is difficult to come, the Ming has been in the midst of civil strife, no effort to pay attention to the desert affairs, and those who were pressed and beaten by the desert Mongolian tribes have gradually recovered, it seems to have forgotten the slap that was taken from the left and right in the past, and began to become fierce again.
With Zhu Di's temperament, when he was the king of Yan, he often took pleasure in abusing these guys, and now, as the son of heaven, he has to carry out a general reckoning.
Repeated offenses, and every once in a while have annoyed Zhu Di, so Zhu Di's purpose in this battle is only one, that is, to give the most fatal blow.
For this strategic intention, Zhu Di shrank all his troops, 300,000 Ming elites, already prepared, piles of grain, herds of cattle and sheep, carts, and even hundreds of thousands of people, these are all the forces that Zhu Di can handle.
In this winter, I will finish this battle and fight for 30 years of peace!
This is Zhu Di's calculation.
The generals also sharpened their knives, such a great opportunity to make contributions, naturally no one would let go, everyone was waiting at this moment, Zhu Di was convinced. The Warat and Tatars are waiting, and themselves, too.
In the warm pavilion. Zhu Di is not bothered by the upcoming war, for a veteran like him, fighting is eating, there is nothing unusual, at this time, the Son of Heaven cares about his own rear and his backyard.
The latest news from Jinling. has been passed one by one, and Zhu Di seems to be quite satisfied with this.
And the prince's recital has arrived. Yang Shiqi opened it and read it out for Zhu Di: "Erchen plays...... The heart of the father's love, the son's retainers...... The Grace of Parenting...... How dare the sons ......"
It's an impassioned letter, and the words are earnest. Playing the family card. Every word and sentence seems to have been carefully considered, and there is no mention of any military and political affairs in it, but on the whole, this is a family letter, a letter from a filial son, written to his father thousands of miles away, expressing his feelings of longing.
Zhu Gaochi's brilliant writing. In this family letter, the expression xiàn is incisive. Some words, even Yang Shiqi couldn't help but want to applaud this hit. However, he was still expressionless, reading word by word.
And Zhu Di just put his hands across the charcoal basin and roasted his hands. On his face, there is no warmth, the family of the Son of Heaven, family affairs are state affairs, family letters are national letters, every sentence cannot be viewed with the thinking of ordinary people.
"Alright." Halfway through the reading, Zhu Di said lightly: "No need to read it, according to me, there is nothing new in this." ”
Yang Shiqi was still unsatisfied, but when he heard that His Majesty was drinking, he hurriedly stopped and couldn't help but say: "Actually...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has filial piety. ”
"Hmm......" Zhu Di was noncommittal, but asked: "Is Zhao Zhong on the road?" ”
only mentioned Zhao Zhong and did not mention Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that brother is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, which shows that in Zhu Di's heart, Zhao Zhong's threat is greater than that of Xia Yuanji.
Yang Shiqi said: "Last night's report, Zhao Gonggong and Xia Butang are on the road. ”
"Oh." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "It's good to be on the road, what are Hao Fenglou and King Zhao doing on weekdays in this Beijing city recently." ”
The thinking of the Son of Heaven is really a bit jumpy, even Yang Shiqi can't keep up a little, Yang Shiqi has to say: "These two people eat and drink in Dacheng Building every day, and sometimes go to the camp of the Shenji Guard, a few days ago, the Shenji Guard clashed with Duoyanwei's men and horses, and the quarrel broke out, injuring a few people, His Royal Highness King Zhao went over, and both sides were pacified. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Di said: "Both sides have been pacified? ”
Yang Shiqi smiled: "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.
Everyone knows that the grievances between Duo Yanwei and Hao Fenglou, nowadays, there are large armies gathered inside and outside Beijing, hundreds of military horses, and conflicts are common, fights and brawls are commonplace, and several governors are anxious, but Zhu Di does not attach too much importance to this kind of thing.
In his opinion, when a soldier, of course, has to be a little bloody, a glance does not match, it is natural to roll up his sleeves to fight, and since the fight has started, if the robes in his battalion guard do not take a hand, it will be really chilling, so for the station, they will fight if they want to fight, and they will make trouble, as long as they do not die, the rest is easy to say.
But this time, it made Zhu Di a little impressed by Zhu Gaosui, Duo Yanwei made a fuss at Shen Jiwei, it must have been for Hao Fenglou, and Zhao Wang's kid was wearing the same pants as Hao Fenglou, the deep friendship between the two people, Zhu Di knew it well, and now that there is a conflict, King Zhao can actually curb his impulse, and he did not retaliate against Duo Yanwei, but appeased him, which shows that this kid is not completely ignorant, but still a little scheming.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said: "This is strange, my confused Sui'er is actually sensible, could it be that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black?" ”
In this way, he praised Hao Fenglou, but after thinking about it carefully, no, Hao Fenglou is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he will roll up three feet of waves if there is no wind, and he is extremely short-guarded.
pondered and pondered, and the only reason was that Sui'er had grown up, sensible, and knew things.
In fact, Zhu Di didn't care too much about such a trivial matter, but his impression of Zhu Gaosui in his heart was a little better.
He cheered up: "It's about to go out, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, they smile patiently, take care of the overall situation, and I am very relieved." Spread the decree, so that this King Zhao can't be idle, this time I want to get out of the customs, I have to give him an errand, just let him guard Beiping, by the way, then Hao Fenglou, let Hao Fenglou assist him, anyway, they are not away from Meng, Meng is not out of focus, simply, let them continue to be tired. ”
After that, Zhu Di sighed, and suddenly remembered someone: "What is King Han doing now?" ”
"This ......" Yang Shiqi said: "Weichen doesn't know." ”
Zhu Di said lightly: "Ask someone to ask." ”
"Yes."

"Guarding the ...... of Beiping"
"Your Royal Highness, this town guarding Beiping is also considered a fat difference, you don't need to go out of the plug to eat the wind, if you win at that time, there will be a lot of credit, look left and look, it's a good thing......
"Hey, hey, hey...... Didn't you say it, my Commander Hao? Let's take a look at the conflict between Duoyanwei and Shenjiwei, and this king will go out again to appease, which can impress his father, so that he can teach him to know that this king is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he will definitely be able to let this king accompany the king's side, and when he gets out of the customs, he will make a few more contributions, so that his majesty can be impressed, and it can be regarded as improving some political capital for himself, but now it is good, how to guard Beiping, what kind of bad idea do you have. This king understands, my father saw that I was steady, so I let this king guard Beiping, wow, Hao commanded the envoy, you are the king of the pit, this king came to this Beiping from Lingnan, from the south of the world to the north of the earth, seeing that he is going to make great contributions, and he is about to shake the world and become famous all over the world. ”
Zhu Gaosui was so angry that his nose was crooked, this is not scientific, he was originally full of calculations, and he was going to drive with him, but now it is good, but now he is guarding Beiping. Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui had Li Guang's depression, and there were rumors above that his majesty really intended to let him see the world, but now it's all over, it's all over, it's all over.
Hao Fenglou had to comfort him: "Don't be impatient, King Zhao has a lot of opportunities, and it may not be a bad thing to guard Beiping... Maybe it's a big deal..."
"Great merit......" Zhu Gaosui was about to cry: "What kind of great merit is there?" Outside Beiping, there are Jixian County, and Shanhaiguan, can you talk about it, can you find a Tartar in this Beiping? Where do you tell me to go to make meritorious service? Ay...... It's bad, it's bad......"
Hao Fenglou didn't expect this situation, and finally had to spread his hands and said: "Your Highness, you can't be in a hurry in everything, I know that Your Highness wants to show one or two in front of Your Majesty, but things in this world are unpredictable, no matter what, Your Majesty has entrusted you to guard Beiping, it can be seen that he still trusts you, this is progress, if it is in the past, with your temperament, will Your Majesty dare to let you guard this Beiping?"
Hao Fenglou felt sorry for King Zhao, but he was still quite satisfied in his heart, it was good to stay in Beiping, go to eat ashes outside, and follow when he was full. Besides, this time is the Son of Heaven's personal expedition, the battle is fought well, the credit will always be holy, you will always only have the share of soup, fight life and death, you can't get anything, why bother, it's better to be in Beiping, leisurely.
