Yan Wangdi is going back to Beijing.

The news is like a spring breeze and rain, and it is like a tide in Qiantang, and the wind and rain are all over the entire Yingtian City.

The world says that dragons give birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different.

This sentence has been put on the only true dragon in the Ming Dynasty today, which has been the highest verification, and people can't find fault with it.

As the first crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, who was praised and supported by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, was naturally the most flawless, just like the mutton fat white jade flowing down with the glacier on the Kunlun Tianshan Mountain.

Such a prince, the crown prince.

It should be His Majesty the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

And for the emperor's fourth son-in-law, Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

The perception and evaluation in the court are a little ambiguous.

Perhaps because of the stubbornness of his youth, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has never had a good character in the eyes of the hundred officials of the Yingtian court, and even in the eyes of his emperor's father.

Later, he became the son-in-law of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, in Beiping, in the bitter cold environment where only the wind and snow and the remnants of the former Yuan harassed from time to time in the bitter cold environment, this Yan King slowly became a dragon son worthy of praise.

At least, in the past two years, there have been quite a few in the imperial court, and Yan Wangdi's remarks about guarding Beiping forever have been circulated.

Yan Wangdi should be the general who commands thousands of troops and horses and guards the northern frontier for the Ming Dynasty forever!

"You should be a general of the Ming Dynasty!"

Recently, it has been faintly rumored from the palace that on the official road in Yingtianfu, which is to be transformed, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who is wearing a dragon embroidered with a dragon and a red pro-dynasty uniform with his eyes, stares at Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the guard of the Yanwang Mansion who is guarding beside him, with a serious face.

Zhu Di, who has been polishing in the Northern Xinjiang Army for 12 years, now has a very accurate vision.

This man who was assigned to Northern Xinjiang for his sin is a rare general in the army that Zhu Di has seen in recent years.

After only a few months of entering the northern Xinjiang, he went out of the snowfield several times in the cold winter of the ninth month, daring to fight, and winning every battle, and winning quite a lot.

This is why Zhu Di suddenly reused Zhang Zhiyuan, to select talents, to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, and to entrust them with important tasks, so that talents can play more roles.

And Zhang Zhiyuan did not disappoint Zhu Di.

Last winter, after returning to Beiping with Zhu Di, he only had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at King Yan's Mansion, and after worshipping King Yan's family the next day, he asked for orders to take more than 1,000 people from King Yan's Mansion to escort out of the palace.

For three months, it is the season for the grass to grow on the grassland, and it is also the time for the herdsmen to give birth to their sheep in captivity for a winter.

A full thousand Ming iron cavalry, under the leadership of Zhang Zhiyuan, who had already served as the commander of the guard capital of the Yanwang Mansion, almost traveled thousands of miles to fight against dozens of former Yuan tribes.

When he returned with the army with broken iron armor, broken spears, and long knives, Zhang Zhiyuan also brought back more than 1,000 herdsmen who swore that they would never betray the Ming Dynasty in this life, as well as more than 10,000 lambs and more than 1,000 cattle.

Although there were a thousand people when they set out, they returned with less than five hundred.

More than half of the battle was damaged.

But on that day, at the head of Beiping City, all the people who were originally resentful and dissatisfied with His Royal Highness King Yan's sudden promotion of Zhang Zhiyuan, an unknown person, immediately put away all their doubts and dissatisfaction.

This man deserves to be the commander of the army!

And Zhang Zhiyuan finally proved that he had lived up to the vision of His Royal Highness King Yan in the cold spring breeze.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked up at King Yan in front of him, he always felt that he should not serve as the escort of King Yan to return to Beijing this time, at least not at this time.

He said sullenly: "My subordinates only know how to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they don't know how to command the army." ”

It is the general who rushes to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and it is the general who commands thousands of troops to destroy the country.

Zhu Di snorted, but his eyes were on Zhang Zhiyuan's body with a gap, and there were still clumps of dark red flesh and blood iron armor in the gap.

Zhu Biao was a little dissatisfied: "If I don't bring you back to the south, will I have to take someone out to sharpen my knife when the repair is completed?" I came back this time and brought you, and this king wants to ask for a reward for you. ”

The grassland people went south to fight the grass valley, and Zhu Di liked to call the Ming army grinding knives when they went north.

The knife grinds down on the neck of the Yuan people, and the knife edge will become sharper and sharper, making people tremble just by looking at it from a distance.

Zhang Zhiyuan didn't want to take care of this Yan King, who had endless appreciation and trust in him, he looked at Ying Tiancheng not far ahead: "Lord Wang, the prince coughed again after Yangzhou, let's go into the city quickly and find the Tai Hospital." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di looked back at the huge team behind him, which was different from the previous huge team that returned to Beijing, there were only more than 100 guards of Yanwangfu commanded by Zhang Zhiyuan, and there were only dozens of carriages in the team, pulling the women and children of Yanwangfu.

The old man said that this time he should take a good look at his children and grandchildren, especially what the grandchildren are like.

In the carriage at the front, there was still a low coughing sound.

This made General Zhu Di's smile disappear in an instant.

Looking back again, looking at Ying Tiancheng, who had been familiar with it in the early years, Zhu Di's face showed a smile again.

Let the battle-hardened war horse under him carry him slowly close to Yingtian City.

Zhu Di tilted his head and squinted at Zhang Zhiyuan, who was driving the horse and following him.

"This king always felt that Ying Tiancheng couldn't see enough, at that time the queen mother was still there, this king, the prince and the brothers had never grown up, we ran all over the city."

Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly said a very level sentence: "So I wait to defend the frontier to the death, which is a worthwhile thing." ”

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Zhiyuan wouldn't have understood why the third master left King Qin and King Jin alone, but let himself choose the opportunity to climb to King Yan's side.

Zhu Di didn't perceive the deep meaning of Zhang Zhiyuan's words, and raised his horsewhip to point to a big lake in the direction of his left: "This Xuanwu Lake, the king who was killed back then was drunk and fell into the water, and he was reprimanded by the prince. Now that I think about it, I know that if the prince didn't reprimand, the king was supposed to be beaten by his father at that time. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan frowned and quietly looked at King Yan who was speaking in front of him.

It seems that stepping on the land of Yingtianfu from the river boat, as Yingtiancheng appeared in front of everyone, His Royal Highness King Yan became sentimental, and he continued to reminisce about the past.

Zhu Di still continued: "Let's go to the gate and enter the city, there are a few pastries on Anren Street that are very delicious, and when the time comes, you can buy some and give them to the princess to taste." ”

"The hot and sour noodle soup at the entrance of Danhuang Street is the most delicious, and it is given to the brothers from the north to taste it."

"I just don't know if the candy seller in Lotus Bridge is still there, otherwise I can buy some for Ming'er's girl to eat."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di stopped.

Because if you go further, you will arrive at the right guard camp of the government army located in the northwest corner of the imperial city, which is also the place where the kings entered Beijing to guard the station.

Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and kept all these in mind.

Zhu Di said again: "Check your combat exploits again, although there are guards in the Yanwang Mansion to test their merits, you still can't be negligent." Since he is a person who can be a great general, he should not only command the military horses of the Yan Wangfu. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan held the reins and raised his hand to clench his fist: "My subordinates only want to guard by His Highness's side." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and looked up at the Yingtian City Shence Gate, which was already close to the end of the day: "Yingtian City is so beautiful!" ”

The Divine Gate is not pretty.

Compared with the Zhengyang Gate, which leads directly to Hongwu Gate, or the Jubao Gate, which leads to the most prosperous southern city and the middle city of Yingtian, Shence Gate is nothing.

At the deserted city gate, there were not many people entering and leaving for a long time, and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guard guarding the city gate were also a little lazy and standing in a not very neat line.

Standing in line can't be too casual, although the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty is unlikely to have an enemy coming over now, it's okay to be lazy, but if you can't see anyone, the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate who have been pursuing performance and evidence recently will definitely pounce on them like mad dogs.

Zhu Di glanced at the lazy officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guard in front of the city gate, and felt that he should remind the old man when he returned to the palace this time that the Beijing Guard could not be so deserted.

It's just that he didn't wait for him to sort out his thoughts, but he was attracted by a group of people in the city gate cave.

Zhu Di's face slowly showed a meaningful smile.

"The king's nephew is getting more and more different!"

This seemed to wake up Zhang Zhiyuan, who was still reluctant to return to Beijing, and looked up at the gate of Shence Gate.

I saw that Zhu Yunxi, who was waiting here early in the morning, took Sun Cheng, and the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Tai Hospital already came over.

The accompanying officials were all neatly dressed and solemn, facing His Royal Highness King Yan without losing their respect and rules as courtiers.

Zhu Yunxi was dressed very casually, wearing a drag, with a Yanling knife hanging on his waist, and a piece of warm jade from the boss on the other side. Looking at it from a distance, there are quite some of the appearance and grandeur of the noble children of Jingshixun.

He stepped forward to greet the fourth uncle's return to Beijing, with a rich smile on his face, and bowed down and clenched his fists: "My nephew has seen the fourth uncle." The fourth uncle traveled thousands of miles to return to Beijing, all the way, and he must have been extremely tired, so he allowed his nephew to lead the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt into the city and return to the palace. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the carriage in front of him, which heard a soft cough from time to time.

Zhu Yunxi waved lightly, and the imperial doctor who was specially called by him today immediately stepped forward and went to the carriage to greet and ask for a consultation.

Zhu Di, who was sitting on horseback, looked at Zhu Yunxi silently for a moment, and then turned over and dismounted.

He held the horsewhip in his hand, walked in front of Zhu Yunxi, and immediately clenched his fists: "The minister will see the prison country." ”

Before Zhu Di could bow down, Zhu Yunxi immediately stepped forward to support the fourth uncle's arms, with a smile on his face: "Don't you dare, the fourth uncle is tormenting his nephew." ”

Zhu Di really wanted to pay homage, because he had already faintly looked at the figure hiding on the wall of the Shence Gate, and the figure of Yushi had just been exposed.

However, Zhu Yunxi held him up, this kid's strength now is amazing, Zhu Di had to smile and straighten up.

He first looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War who had stepped forward behind Zhu Yunxi and handed over the verification with Zhang Zhiyuan, and then looked back at the imperial doctor who had already entered the carriage.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained: "Originally, only people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites came, but my nephew thought that now that Cousin Gao Chi was going south, his body would definitely be uncomfortable, so he called the imperial doctor to come over. ”

This made Zhu Di's original mind of being a monarch and a minister disappear, and he chuckled: "I'm bothering you." ”

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and said with a face full of indifference: "When my cousin comes back this time, I will stay at home and take care of my body, and when I have polished my body, I will return to Beiping to inherit the fourth uncle's will." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said softly: "Don't dare to think about it, just wish for peace." ”

That's a little interesting.

Zhu Yunxi smiled in his heart, turned around and smiled: "Fourth uncle, go back to the palace." ”
