Chapter 337: Disheartened
() "Huh?"
Huang Zicheng said in his heart: This King Yan is your biggest threat, isn't it, is it because of this period of time that the imperial grandson has softened his heart?
"The minister doesn't understand what His Royal Highness means, how is King Yan different from other vassal kings?"
"Fourth uncle, he, he still cares about me very much,"
Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to explain,
"If it weren't for the status of the emperor's grandson, he would definitely take good care of me."
"That's why His Highness wants to ascend to the throne, isn't it?"
What kind of stupid thing is the imperial grandson talking about, Huang Zicheng is really a little anxious,
"If there is no throne, how can there be respect? If there is no respect, there is no care, and only His Highness, as a monarch, will be respected by them. ”
"You do have a point,"
Zhu Yunwen thought and thought about it, nodded and said,
"If the uncles refuse to submit, they can cut down the vassals, but they all have heavy troops, so what if they change?"
"Where are the kings with heavy troops,"
Huang Zicheng sneered and said,
"What they can really control is only to guard the palace soldiers, only enough to guard the king's security, if there is chaos and there are six divisions to suppress them, how can they resist it? During the Han Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms were so powerful, weren't they still destroyed? ”
"Mr. Huang is right,"
Hearing these words, Zhu Yunwen's heart immediately ignited hope, and even changed his title to "sir", saying,
"It's just that for the fourth uncle, I still don't want to hurt him......"
"Then Your Highness, what are your expectations for King Yan and you?"
Although Huang Zicheng still couldn't understand the attitude of the imperial grandson, he still asked patiently.
Zhu Yunwen thought about it,
"I only hope that he will willingly surrender to me."
"I understand."
said that he understood, but Huang Zicheng never figured out why he was like this......
Let's say that after Zhu Di came out of the palace, he returned directly to Xu's mansion.
At this time, his mood was also depressed, after making so many efforts for so long, but in the end he was still guarding in the north, it seemed that there was little hope as Dao Yan said, and this capital really didn't want to stay any longer.
With such an unfast entrance, I happened to bump into Xu Zengshou walking outside with his three sons,
"Brother-in-law, are you back?"
"You're back, where are you going?"
Zhu Di looked at them and asked.
Before Xu Zengshou could answer, his second son Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said,
"Father, my uncle is going to take us on horseback!"
"Oh,"
Zhu Di thought about it, it's okay, he was practicing in Fengyang in Zhongdu when he was as old as them, and said,
"Go ahead, listen to my little uncle, and pay attention to it."
"Got it!"
The three children cheered and followed Xu Zengshou away.
Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Zheng He,
"Sanbao, you go back to my residence, dress up, and we'll go back to Beiping tomorrow."
"Yes, do you want to tell the princess?"
Zheng He asked.
Zhu Di thought for a while and said,
"It's okay to let their mother and son leave in a few days, you and Jing'er follow me back first."
"Understood."
Zheng He turned to the back and packed his things for him.
The next day, Zhu Di, Zheng He, and Chai Jingnan said goodbye to Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou first, and rode all the way to Beiping. He wanted to quickly pour out the depression and Dao Yan in his heart, and he also wanted to tell the master what had happened during this time, and he wanted to know how to deal with it in the future.
In this way, he rushed back to Beiping and his own Yanwang Mansion in a hurry, dusted off the wind and dust slightly, rested for a while, and before he could go to Dao Yan, the monk actually came by himself.
"Fourth Master, you are finally back, the old man thinks that you have been left in Beijing and will not be able to come back."
"Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could really stay in the capital forever?"
Zhu Di said a little angrily,
"I have been disciplined by my father for so long, and I haven't been driven back to this northern border."
"This is the fourth master's territory, of course you want to come back."
Dao Yan smiled slightly,
"I don't know what the fourth master can gain from entering Beijing this time?"
"Yes,"
Zhu Di turned around and said to Zheng He, who was serving beside him,
"Sanbao, take the book of Emperor Ming Zu Xun given by my father."
Zheng He answered, turned to leave, and in a moment took the book and held it with both hands.
"Fourth master, here you go."
Zhu Di took it and put it in front of Dao Yan and said,
"My father revised this ancestral precept again, gave each of our brothers a copy, and let us read it carefully."
"Oh? Well, this old man really needs to read it. ”
As he spoke, Dao Yan really held it in his hand and looked at it seriously.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Di was angry and funny, and said,
"Master, if you want to read, you still have a lot of time, but what should I do now? I was as cautious and cautious as you say, but I didn't see the possibility of what the master had said. ”
"Fourth master, don't be anxious, what should come will come after all, if the time has not come, you can't force it."
Dao Yan lifted the bald head from the book, looked at him and said unhurriedly.
Zhu Di was really angry and couldn't laugh, so he had to say,
"Well, I have the right to be my border king here."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked,
"How about those three heroes in Huashan? Haven't come back yet? ”
"Not yet,"
Dao Yan nodded and said,
"I heard the news from Zhu Wuxia that it was Dongfang Yuxiao, the head of the Tianshan faction, who wanted to come to the Central Plains in person to inquire about the whereabouts of his disciple."
"Tianshan faction?"
Zhu Di thought for a while and said,
"Master looks at the mastermind behind the 'Flying Sword Alliance', could it be this Tianshan faction?"
"It's hard to say,"
Dao Yandao,
"Let's wait and see how things develop, after all, it's better to leave the matter in the martial arts to the people in their martial arts to solve."
"Okay."
Zhu Di nodded and said,
"By the way, before I came back, I heard my father say that there was some commotion in the north again, I wonder if there is any military intelligence report recently?"
"It's some remnants of the Northern Yuan in Tatar, and they are ready to move, and they are still waiting for the news of the investigation,"
Dao Yan didn't seem to take the military situation to heart this time,
"Even if they really act, they have to wait for the appointment of the imperial court and the emperor's will."
"That's right."
At this time, Zhu Di did have a certain feeling of exhaustion and fatigue, and even germinated the idea of "let the seventeenth brother fight if there is another battle", and he really wanted to take a break.
But it backfired, just when he wanted to rest, he couldn't rest, because the holy decree was really sent to his Yanwang Mansion, and it really asked him to pacify those remnants of the Northern Yuan.
At this time, it is already March, and although the weather in the north is still cold and cold, it has also passed the harsh winter. A holy decree came from the capital, and Zhu Di was about to embark on the journey of conquest again.
