Chapter 137: Xu Da is seriously ill
Next.
Daming Palace.
After a few net whips, a group of civil and military ministers walked across the Gongshui Bridge in order.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the court, and the celebrant and eunuch on the side shouted: "Go to the court!" ”
"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers saluted respectfully.
"Everyone, love Qing, get even." Zhu Yuanzhang's thick voice came from the dragon case.
"General Tang Ding can go out with a large army?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked
At this time, Yang Xian opened his mouth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, now Tang Ding has led me to the north with 100,000 iron horsemen of the Ming Dynasty to support Datong Mansion. ”
"Ranchen thought that just sending 100,000 iron horsemen might not be able to deal a heavy blow to the various departments of the grassland."
"Although there is a civil war in the grassland, there are still many large armies, so I would like to implore Your Majesty to send some more armies to the north to completely defeat this group of barbarians and raise the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he bowed his head slightly, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, but now there are not too many troops to support." ”
"Your Majesty, there are still prepared Japanese soldiers available in Shandong, and 150,000 troops can be transferred, but it will take more than half a month to complete the investigation." The military department Shangshu said.
"Okay, I ordered the Shandong region to transfer 150,000 troops, and go north to the grassland after half a month to support General Tang Ding, and I will win this battle!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"When the army goes out, the most important thing is that the problem of logistics supply such as grain and grass is more serious, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, in the matter of using troops to fight, grain and grass always account for a large part of the proportion, I don't know who Your Majesty intends to send to be responsible for this matter." Yang Xian groaned.
"Yes, I don't know if Aiqing volunteered to provide logistical supplies for my Ming Iron Cavalry?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang's left index finger kept tapping on the dragon chair, and when he saw that no one answered, "Hu Weiyong." ”
"The minister is here." Hu Weiyong hurriedly came out and said.
"We ordered you to be responsible for the supply of grain and grass for my Daming Iron Cavalry this time, the war is the supply of grain and grass, remember not to be careless, we must not let my Daming Iron Cavalry because of the grain and grass, thus delaying the fighter of my Daming Iron Cavalry." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
Hu Weiyong's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "The ministers obey the order, and the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and ensure that my Ming Iron Cavalry can go north smoothly, attack all the departments of the grassland, and drive this group of barbarians out of the Great Wall." ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he bowed slightly, "Very good, let's just wait to see your performance, if this matter is done for us, we will be rewarded!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang on the side and asked, "Xu Da Xu Aiqing's illness is not better?" ”
"Xu Aiqing has been sick for several days and has not been in court, and I don't know what happened, we are worried in our hearts."
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister went to visit Wei Guogong a few days ago, and now Wei Guogong has a recurrence of carbuncle on his back, and it is still difficult to get out of bed." Li Shanchang said with a straight face.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face was heavy, he nodded, and then said, "Do you Aiqing have other things to do?" ”
At this time, there was silence in the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Prince, Zhu Tong, Li Shanchang, a few of you stay, and the others can go back first." ”
"The ministers are leaving." The ministers responded.
After that, the ministers quickly left the Qianqing Palace.
……
Retreat.
There were only a few people left in the Qianqing Palace, and Li Shanchang couldn't help but think to himself, what is the matter with Your Majesty leaving a few of them behind.
Now that the problem of the grassland has been solved, the issue of the army's expedition and follow-up support has also been dealt with, and even the matter of grain and grass has been dealt with, I can't help but feel very puzzled in my heart.
Zhu Tong is also suspicious, since ancient times, the holy will is the most difficult to figure out, one sentence is not right, it is very likely that there will be no recovery.
Xindao, there should be nothing to do, why did His Majesty still leave a few of them.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead and said: "You Aiqing don't need to be nervous, the external problems of the Ming Dynasty have indeed been almost solved." ”
"We didn't leave you here for this purpose."
"Xu Da Xu Aiqing has followed us all the way and has done too many things for my Daming."
"Xu Da's fellow townsman defected to us very early, and in order to fight in the south and the north, he defeated the powerful enemy Chen Youliang in the battle of Zhuyang Lake."
"Eliminated the old enemy Zhang Shicheng, and led the troops to attack the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty."
"It can be said that without Xu Aiqing, this makes our Ming dynasty stable!"
"I didn't expect to end up with the root of my illness, every time we think about it, we feel deeply sad!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
"Yes! Lord Xu has done too many things for my Daming, since he was young, he has worked hard for Daming, and most of his life has passed in a blink of an eye. ”
"Not only that, but I also fell into the root of my body, and now I can only lie in bed." Li Shanchang said with a sigh on his face.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong listened quietly on the side, their faces extremely heavy.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "There is nothing to do here today, just take a walk with us and go to Xu Aiqing's house to have a look." ”
Zhu Tong couldn't help but have a trace of doubt on his face, thinking in his heart, go to visit Wei Guogong, this is a veteran-level figure, why did His Majesty let himself follow.
It is very likely that His Majesty values himself and wants him to go to see Wei Guogong, who made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty back then, thinking of this, Zhu Tong doesn't think much about it.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Qianqing Palace with a group of people and walked in the direction of Xu's mansion.
……
Outside Xufufu.
Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao, Zhu Tong and others to the front of Xufufu.
Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor was coming to visit Xu Da, all the Xu family members greeted Zhu Yuanzhang and others at the door.
Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu, saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others coming all the way, and hurriedly came to greet him, "The minister greets Your Majesty." ”
"Ran's father is sick in bed, and he really can't go out to greet His Majesty, so please don't blame Your Majesty." Xu Huizu said with a heavy face.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was heavy, "It's not in the way, there is no need to come to greet us, we are here this time to see Xu Aiqing." ”
"Aiqing is sick in bed, which really makes us feel deeply sad!"
"Thank you for your understanding." Xu Huizu replied respectfully.
"Okay, take us to see Xu Aiqing." Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please!" As he spoke, Xu Huizu led the way, and took Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Tong and others towards the room where Xu Da was.
