Time flies, and finally it is the 24th day of the lunar month of this year, which is the traditional southern year.

On this day, the common people have to hold the so-called stove delivery activity, that is, to summarize the good and evil of the things done in a year, and then take some honey to paste the mouth of the stove prince, the so-called "heaven says good things, and the lower world keeps peace".

Although there is no need to send the stove to the prince in the palace, there is also a short ritual of sacrificing to the sky, and the emperor needs to report the gains and losses of the year to the heavens.

Of course, the credit for one's own merits should be written about in a big way, as for the mistakes? If you see the work summary written by the subordinate to the superior, you know that it has been a routine for thousands of years - to report good news but not bad news.

Zhu Yuanzhang's work summary is naturally written by some of his most trusted pens, and it is not very difficult to understand considering his cultural level. But he wrote about some of the proud things he did this year.

In particular, he also wrote a lot about one thing, that is, there was a bastard named Timur who robbed him of the Tianzhu Kingdom he protected.

Then how he was furious and ordered the envoys to condemn the crimes of the Timurid robbers. How can you tell them to pay tribute for ten years, in a word: Lao Tzu won't take you to play, you can cry.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that this is his proud work, and he is happy on the front. At this moment, he suddenly found wolf smoke on the beacon outside the city.

This proud work has not been finished yet, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to fix it. The capital university beside him was Zhao Chenglong who saw Zhu Yuanzhang's embarrassment, so he shouted.

"Side matters are important, postpone the sacrifice! The civil and military officials put on their court clothes and go to court!"

It turns out that Daming's dress is quite complicated, and it is a set of dresses to participate in the activities of sacrificing heaven and earth, and another set of dresses for the office of the court.

Soon all the clothes were changed, and I came to the Bongseon Hall.

The dance of the civil and military officials had finished their worship, and at this moment, the small royal gate outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, an eight-hundred-mile express has been sent from the direction of Jiayuguan, waiting for Your Majesty to summon you!"

Hearing this, an ominous premonition surged in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of being the founder of the country, no matter how he intersects in his heart, his face is not exposed. The tone was quite calm and majestic: "The messenger is here!"

Jiayuguan sent over a lieutenant general named Sohari.

He has injuries on his body, his face is full of dust, due to the long-distance running, changing horses and not changing people, and now his physical strength is quite overdrawn, and there is a risk of fainting at any time.

In this way, he had to kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang staggeringly, and Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't bear to make a kind order: "Sohari, I read you all the way, and you are exhausted, so don't participate!"

He also ordered some water to be taken and told him to take a sip to restore his strength.

Sohari was also barely holding on, he knew that he couldn't pass out at this time no matter what, and he had to make what he had to say clearly.

After his breathing stabilized, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him what was wrong.

A document stained with chicken feathers on Sohari's ground, at first glance, this is a hundred thousand urgent. Du Shun, the eunuch of the celebrity, did not dare to slack off, so he quickly took it and presented it to the dragon book case.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change drastically.

It turned out that it was written: In the desert suddenly emerged a very strong man and horse, they also have my Ming musket artillery, the first battle, my Ming was caught off guard, there are many gaps in the city wall, and the enemy repeatedly fight, and finally the corpses are like a mountain.

Lord Hu, who was ordered to condemn the rebels by heaven, was hit by a cannonball from the rebels before he could leave the city, and he was martyred.

Now there is a serious shortage of troops in Jiayuguan, and they can't keep up if they are not in a hurry. Ask for the support of the Imperial Court!

Zhu Yuanzhang signaled and read the report to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. The Manchu civil and military forces were shocked.

Kuang Zhengyi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites: "How can this be, how can the enemy have such advanced weapons? It must be that I have a female insider!"

Wei Junfang, the left concubine of the East Palace: "Your Majesty, these techniques are only understood by the Protector King Zhu Tang, and he is also in charge of a group of people who trade in the Western Regions. There should be the greatest suspicion, please hold Your Majesty accountable!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xiongying immediately jumped out.

"You're farting! My master's loyalty and patriotism are heard all over the world, how can you be so dirty as you think!"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Zhu Biao stood up.

"Ying'er, the ministers of the DPRK and China are deliberating, you are not yet an adult, so don't talk too much."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang think that Zhu Tang should be asked about this matter.

"Where is the Protector Zhu Tang?"

No one in the main hall answered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious: "Didn't Zhu Tang go to court? Why don't you attend such an important court meeting?"

At this time, Du Shun, the eunuch under him, whispered: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ma, who protects the king's family, is giving birth today, and he has taken a leave of absence, and you and the queen have also approved it."

Zhu Yuanzhang then remembered this stubble, "Zhu Di, you take a few people to protect the king's mansion, and recruit the king Zhu Tang to go to the court immediately." 100,000 urgent, admire!"

At this time, the left concubine of the East Palace published a prelude: "Your Majesty, that person is quite good at some evil and crooked witchcraft, and if you summon him like this, he will definitely be a thief and resist arrest. According to Weichen's humble opinion, he should call Jinyiwei to go together. If you resist arrest, you will be killed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Wei Junfang, are you teaching me to do things?"

There was an incomparably thick murderous intent in these words, which frightened Wei Junfang and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty spares your life, but the minister doesn't dare!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Slandering the prince for no reason, Wei Junfang, do you think your head is too stable?" Don't give me a back seat yet!"

Frightened, Wei Junfang sweated profusely, and retreated to his position in a gloomy manner.
