Chapter 177: Plan Ahead
"Yes, the old man can finally steal a moment of leisure today, come and see what the fourth master is doing."
It was indeed Dao Yan who came.
Zhu Di turned around, smiled and asked him to sit down,
"I'm here admiring my Ming dynasty."
"Oh, yes,"
Dao Yan Bian really sat there like a Buddha statue, and Bian Baoxiang said solemnly,
"But isn't the Ming Dynasty already peaceful, or do you want to be peaceful from now on, Fourth Master?"
"What did the master say about this?"
Zhu Di realized that the other party must have come to talk to him about something important, so he hurriedly pulled the chair forward and said,
"Now that the Northern Yuan is dead, the former Yuan Lord and his important generals are dead and surrendered, isn't this not peaceful?"
"The Mongols have a fierce temperament, how can they be so easily subdued?"
Dao Yan looked at him and said,
"Although the Northern Yuan is nominally dead, its remnants are still scattered everywhere, and those who have surrendered, does the fourth master really guarantee that they will settle down and will not rebel again?"
"Oh?"
Zhu Di was taken aback and hurriedly asked,
"What does the master mean, will this battle continue in the future?"
"Of course, not only do you have to fight, but from now on it is the battlefield that really belongs to the fourth master."
The light flashing in Dao Yan's small eyes was enough to pierce a person's heart and lungs.
Zhu Di was stared at by his eyes, and suddenly felt uneasy about answering the wrong question in front of the division commander, and said,
"Please give me advice."
"Fourth Master, in the past, the old man told you not to be impatient. Before that, the Northern Yuan still existed, and the people who dealt with them must be those generals who were born and died with His Majesty. After the destruction of the Northern Yuan, the actual enemy no longer exists, and if there is a rebellion, the task of quelling the rebellion will naturally fall on you, the princes and vassal kings. ”
Dao Yan said unhurriedly,
"So, even if you don't like to go on the battlefield, Fourth Master, I can't help you."
Speaking of this, Dao Yan's tone revealed a little regret, but Zhu Di heard some disappointment from it, and said busily,
"Master, don't get me wrong, it's not that Zhu Di doesn't like to go on the battlefield, it's just that he hasn't thought it through!"
"Oh? In this way, isn't Your Highness tired of fighting and hoping for pleasure? ”
"Of course not!"
Zhu Di's tone was a little anxious, and said,
"As long as there is no peace in my Ming land, I will not stop the pace of my own conquest!"
"I see,"
Dao Yan nodded slightly, sighed,
"Your Highness really looks like Your Majesty."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di didn't know what to say.
Dao Yan didn't wait for his next words, so he said,
"That's fine, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, there will be a time for you to show your skills in the future. By the way, His Royal Highness came back from Liaodong last time and said, the border country of Warat is worth noting, and I really told you that when the former lord was attacked, they were really involved. ”
"Sure enough, they are everywhere,"
Zhu Di sneered and said,
"It seems that in the days to come, we really have to be careful with this war."
"yes."
Dao Yan listened and nodded slightly.
The two were chatting here, and suddenly heard a report from the Praetorian Guards guarding the door.
"His Royal Highness King Yuyan, His Royal Highness King Ning has come to the mansion and is waiting in the front hall."
"Oh? King Ning? ”
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, could it be that his brother was here to join the domain?
This King Ning was originally the seventeenth son of the emperor, Zhu Quan, and the fief was in Daning, when Zhu Di left Beijing, he was still young, and there were not many people in contact with each other, who would have thought that he would come to visit him today. Of course, Zhu Di couldn't slack off, and hurriedly came to the front hall with Daoyan.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a young man in a golden crown standing in the center of the hall, looking around. Don't ask, this must be his seventeenth brother, although he doesn't have too deep feelings, but after all, he is one of his rare relatives, and they took the initiative to come here, Zhu Di still felt a little warmth in his heart, so he shouted,
"Is it the seventeenth brother?"
"Fourth brother?!"
The young man turned around abruptly, ran straight to Zhu Di and knelt on the ground,
"The little brother kowtowed to the fourth brother!"
"How can the seventeenth brother be so polite, please hurry up."
Zhu Di hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled him up, looking up and down for a long time, but unfortunately, he still couldn't remember what he looked like when he was a child. If you can't think of it, forget it, Zhu Di no longer embarrassed himself, pointed to Dao Yan to the side, and introduced,
"Seventeenth brother, this is Master Daoyan, fourth brother, I have always used him as a teacher."
"Oh, it turns out that you are Master Daoyan, and I heard the eldest brother talk about it."
Zhu Quan smiled and looked at the monk in front of him and said.
Dao Yan didn't make a sound, just smiled, and waved his hand to return the courtesy. Zhu Di asked the two to sit down, and the waiter had already offered tea.
Zhu Quan took a sip of the teacup and said,
"Fourth brother, this Beiping Mansion is really good, it is worthy of being the capital of the previous dynasty, and I don't know what my Daning looks like."
"The seventeenth brother is going north this time, but are you going to go to the domain?"
When Zhu Di saw him mention it, he asked casually.
After his question, Zhu Quan suddenly showed a sad face and said,
"No, I thought I would have to wait another two or three years."
"It's a matter of time before the domain is held, even if you wait a few more years, don't you have to go, it's better to get there early and get acquainted with it earlier."
Zhu Di chuckled and persuaded.
When Zhu Quan heard him say this, he nodded his head as if he was something, suddenly remembered something, and said with wide eyes,
"Fourth brother, this time the little brother came, one is to see you, and the other is for another purpose, can you guess?"
"Can't guess."
Zhu Di replied without hesitation.
Zhu Quan immediately looked unhappy, almost begging him,
"Fourth brother, guess again."
"Well, okay, I guess you want me to take you to Beiping Mansion for a few days, right?"
Zhu Di had no choice but to guess casually.
Zhu Quan's eyes rolled and said,
"Although the guess is wrong, this idea is good, so let's include this matter in the plan, fourth brother, you can continue to guess!"
Zhu Di really couldn't cry or laugh, why did he say this, he added such a troublesome errand to nothing, but he was afraid that he would have to get any work if he guessed it again, so he said like a forgiveness,
"Seventeenth brother, the fourth brother is so stupid, I really can't guess."
"Fourth brother, you can't guess, it's because you still treat me as a child,"
Zhu Quan pursed his mouth dissatisfied,
"Little brother, I'm here to ask you for advice on how to use soldiers."
"The art of war?"
This was really unexpected by Zhu Di,
"Why did the seventeenth brother have this idea?"
"Isn't it normal to have such thoughts?"
Zhu Quan asked rhetorically,
"The fief of the younger brother is in Daning, which is an important place to be fortified, how can you do it if you don't learn a little strategy of using soldiers?"
"I see."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing. 2k reading web
