Chapter 17: King Xiao Ming
"Before I entered the door, I was stopped by the guards sent by Guo Dashuai, saying that Mr. Li was not there and went to Guo Dashuai."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded while eating, his face expressionless.
Everyone didn't bother with this issue anymore, after all, this matter was a bit bad for Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
At the beginning, this Mr. Li, but Zhu Yuanzhang took a lot of effort to invite him.
Even because of this, half of the grain seized for the first time was distributed to the people in the city.
In order to let Mr. Li return to his heart.
And after Mr. Li arrived at his former handsome mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also treated preferentially in every way.
Like honoring his ancestors, he Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to eat, and sent all the good things to Li Shanchang.
At the beginning, Xu Da and the others had a dispute with Zhu Yuanzhang.
But Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded them fiercely.
After eating, Xu Da and Tang He, who had chatted for a few words, left in a hurry.
Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed to the place where he was on duty.
After Qi Heng helped Ma Xiuying clean up the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, he was driven away by Ma Xiuying, saying that washing dishes is not something that old men should do.
Looking at Ma Xiuying's expression as it should be, Qi Heng couldn't help but sigh a little that this ancient was not without merits.
Walking out of the door, Qi Heng came to Haozhou City for a walk.
Now he is afraid that he is the most idle person in the entire Haozhou City.
Although he was nominally a strategist, he didn't have much to do.
Coupled with their performance in front of Guo Zixing's father and son last night, it was naturally impossible for them to come to Qi Heng again.
Walking on the streets of Haozhou City, looking at everything around, compared with Dingyuan County, it is larger and more populous.
Relatively speaking, the economy should also be better.
At least a lot of the shops on the street are open.
There will be customers scattered and scattered.
At the same time, Guo Zixing's Shuai Mansion study.
Guo Tianxu was looking for something on his father, Guo Zixing's bookshelf.
As he searched through it, he found a letter in the gap of the bookshelf.
Looking at the words written on this letter, you can see that this is a letter to King Ming.
Nowadays, the rebel army is divided into many forces, and the Red Turban Army is one of them.
And Guo Zixing is a member of the Red Turban Army.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as Guo Zixing's subordinate, naturally inherits this vein.
The leader of the Red Turban Army was known as King Ming, which was the origin of Jin Yong's teachings in later generations.
It's just that after the death of King Ming, his position was taken over by his son, Han Lin'er, known as King Xiao Ming, and even the founding of the country as the Great Song Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, King Xiao Ming is now Guo Zixing's top boss and the leader of the Red Turban Army.
Guo Tianxu accidentally knew that his father had written a letter to King Xiao Ming, and the reason for writing this letter was because the situation was chaotic, and he couldn't tell when he Guo Zixing would die in battle.
So I wrote a letter and prepared to hand it over to King Xiao Ming, and once he died, he would nominate a new marshal according to the content of this letter.
thus leading his generals under Guo Zixing.
And the reason why Guo Tianxu sneaked into his father's study secretly was to see the contents of this letter.
But as Guo Tianxu opened the envelope and checked it from beginning to end, his face instantly turned blue.
Looking at the three words of Zhu Yuanzhang in the letter, he couldn't believe that his father was going to hand over all the power of his soldiers and horses to Zhu Yuanzhang after his death!
He is his own son!
Guo Tianxu, who had a gloomy face, slipped out of the study after putting the letter back away.
It's just that Guo Tianxu never expected that everything he did in the study was seen by Ma Xiuying, who happened to pass by.
Ma Xiuying came here to help her stepfather clean up the study.
But I happened to see Guo Tianxu's strange whereabouts.
I secretly observed.
After Guo Tianxu left, Ma Xiuying walked into the study and picked up the letter that Guo Tianxu had read.
After reading the contents of the letter, Ma Xiuying's face was full of shock.
Just like Guo Tianxu just now.
Judging from the current situation, Guo Zixing took Zhu Yuanzhang's military power and demoted him to a big soldier.
No matter what, it is impossible to hand over everything after his death to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is just Guo Zixing's adopted son.
But Ma Xiuying has been smart since she was a child, and as she thought about it carefully, she had a guess about Guo Zixing's thoughts.
Putting the letter back away, Ma Xiuying did her own thing as if she had never read the letter.
But Guo Tianxu on the other side has Ma Xiuying's calmness.
The whole person walked on the road with a tyrannical expression.
My mind is full of what I just saw.
Everything written in the letter is his Zhu Yuanzhang's goodness, and his Zhu Yuanzhang's ability, but he didn't even mention a sentence about him Guo Tianxu.
As Guo Zixing's son and the nominal heir of the army in Haozhou City, how can he Guo Tianxu endure it.
He couldn't understand why his father was so confused and wanted to give up the family business he had worked so hard to give up to others!
Guo Tianxu, who was restless, finally came to his uncle Zhang Tianyou's residence.
Now in this Haozhou City, the only one who can really help him Guo Tianxu is his uncle.
In Zhang Tianyou's room, Guo Tianxu said everything he saw.
Facing Guo Tianxu's words, Zhang Tianyou also asked with an incredulous face: "You said that your father wants to hand over the position of marshal to Zhu Yuanzhang?" ”
Although Guo Tianxu didn't want to admit it, after all, it was his biological father, but this was the case, he could only nod.
Zhang Tianyou walked back and forth in the room with an anxious expression.
"How could your father give the throne to a righteous son?"
Zhang Tianyou said angrily.
I can't think of a good solution.
After all, both the army and the commanders belong to Guo Tianxu's father, and what to do is also up to him.
For a moment, he was helpless except angry.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tianyou couldn't help but say, "No, I'm going to talk to your father." ”
But before he could get up, he was stopped by Guo Tianxu.
"What's the use of you looking for my father now, don't you know his character? When the time comes, he will know that I have secretly read his letter, but I am afraid that now your position will not be kept. ”
Zhang Tianyou stood in place: "Then what should I do?" Do you want to sit back and watch this Haozhou City give up to Zhu Yuanzhang? ”
In the army, Zhang Tianyou was Guo Zixing's opponent against Zhu Yuanzhang.
On weekdays, you can imagine his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Once that Zhu Yuanzhang ascends to the throne, the first person to deal with is him Zhang Tianyou.
Looking at the anxious Zhang Tianyou, Guo Tianxu calmed down.
"Uncle, don't worry."
Zhang Tianyou frowned and said, "Can I not be in a hurry?" ”
Guo Tianxu said slowly: "You also know my father's temper, and he will not change what he believes no matter what we say." Now, instead of trying to find a way to change my father's mind, it is better to think of something on Zhu Yuanzhang's body. ”
Zhang Tianyou felt some truth when he heard this, but he was still puzzled: "What can I think of in Zhu Yuanzhang?" Could it be that you still expect him to give you the position of marshal? ”
