The emperor said three words in a row.

Just when Li Jinglong was about to cry out for injustice.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already picked up the stick in his hand.

Boom.

The stick was solid, and it landed firmly on Chang Sheng's shoulder.

Chang Sheng was prepared, but the expression on his face still moved slightly, but his body only shook a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and became more and more angry: "Okay! Now they dare to be beaten! I don't even have my eyelids moving! ”

Bang bang bang.

As a result, three sticks fell on Chang Sheng's body one after another.

But he just didn't move.

Li Jinglong, who was just about to open his mouth to shout grievances, saw this situation, and immediately closed his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry.

Looking at Chang Sheng, who was slapped with sticks one after another and didn't move, the anger in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation and picked up another stick on Chang Sheng's body, and then raised his foot and kicked him heavily on the shoulder.

This kick finally caused Chang Sheng to fall backwards to the ground.

Zhu Biao stood aside, frowning when he saw that there was a trace of blood oozing out of Chang Sheng's chest, he couldn't help but step forward to dissuade him: "Father, Brother Sheng'er still has injuries on his body......"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already picked up the stick again and was about to fall, couldn't help but stop.

In the line of sight, Chang Sheng, who had taken off his coat at night, had already taken off his coat, and a faint blood color had been blurred on his thin underwear.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered.

But the stick in the emperor's hand had already been picked up, and it fell on Li Jinglong on the side.

"He can beat you like this even if he has injuries on his body, what have you eaten all these years!"

The stick fell on the body.

It really hurts!

Li Jinglong's face was flushed, his eyes widened, and he looked at the emperor who had beaten him and was scolding him.

I didn't do anything.

Why are you going to be beaten now?

"If you don't make it, it's a shame for your father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, and the stick in his hand was whistling by him.

With a clang.

Li Jinglong was so frightened that he subconsciously raised his hands to block his face.

But he listened to the stick and just fell on his side.

Lost the stick.

Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his hands and glared at the two of them.

"Tell me, because of what the fight started."

Li Jinglong immediately got up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty ......"

He shouted, but immediately shut up.

And Chang Sheng, who was beside him, was already kneeling on the ground again at this time.

Zhu Biao glanced at the two of them, then looked at the palace attendants and forbidden officers and soldiers in the room, and waved his hand: "All go out." ”

The people in the room immediately rushed out.

Wait until only the emperor, the crown prince and the two people who are about to be promoted to the prince of the county are left in the house.

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled heavily, dragged a chair, and sat in front of Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong with his legs open.

"Now let's talk about it. It's all your own family, you two are also brothers in the family, tomorrow is a big day, and there is such a big movement tonight. ”

Li Jinglong rubbed his beaten arm, rubbed the corners of his mouth that were a little blue, raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor pitifully, and finally lowered his head silently.

Chang Sheng clasped his hands and prostrate on the ground.

"It was the minister who lost his manners Meng Lang, and he beat Cao Guogong arrogantly, he was guilty of everything, the crime was in the minister, and His Majesty would only punish the minister if he wanted to punish him."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "You kid has a hard mouth!" Bastard thing! ”

After scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh.

He didn't sit down for long, but he got up again.

"I can't sleep tonight because of you two bastards, since you two still have the energy to fight, go out for a walk with me."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already turned around and walked to the door.

Zhu Biao stepped forward very quickly and opened the door for the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door and turned his head to look at the two who were still dumbfounded.

"I didn't listen to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong's legs were like springs, and they immediately stood up.

Outside.

A large group of forbidden officers and soldiers who rushed here saw the emperor come out, and immediately retreated to the surroundings again.

"Where is Father going?"

Zhu Biao glanced outside, and asked in a low voice with some anxiety.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong who were following him again, and after snorting coldly, he whispered, "Let's go for a walk in the mountains." ”

Mountain?!

Zhu Biao's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look at Zhongshan in the northeast corner of the imperial city.

At night, Zhongshan was quiet, revealing only the outline of the ridge shrouded in moonlight.

In the mountains and forests, there is only a small amount of light.

It was the bright light from the guard tower of the officers and soldiers stationed on Zhongshan Mountain.

"At this time, it was late at night, and the palace gate and the city gate had fallen."

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed, his old man now loves to run out of the palace more and more, and now he wants to sneak out in the dark night.

The crown prince persuaded him.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately glared: "Why, if the lock is dropped, I won't be able to get out of my Yingtian City?" ”

Zhu Biao was immediately speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a general commanding the forbidden army present.

"Arrange people, don't mess with people outside. Let's go out from Bei'anmen, go to the left guard camp of the government army, and hang down from the city wall. ”

The emperor gave an order, and he ignored it, and walked to the north of the imperial city with two obedient followers.

Bei'anmen is in the north of Xuanwu Gate, which is the northernmost palace gate of the imperial city.

Out of Bei'anmen, you will be on Zhongshan.

It's usually sparsely populated during the day, let alone at this time.

The commander of the forbidden army did not dare to resist the order, and the emperor also said that he would not open the city gate, but only hang himself from the city wall. Emperor Chrysostom said that it was his will, and he could only take people to do it.

Zhu Biao was helpless, and he could only follow in a hurry when he stomped his feet.

In the dark.

Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, sneaked out of the palace again.

But this time, it was not discovered by outsiders.

The emperor only took the crown prince, as well as Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong.

Under the cover of a group of fearful forbidden officers and soldiers, they quietly arrived at the city wall of the left guard of the government army.

Then, under the continuous fear of the forbidden officers and soldiers, they were hoisted from the city wall in baskets outside the city.

Put your feet on the ground outside the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.

To his left is Lake Biwa, and to his right is Lake Mae.

At this moment, at night, the earth qi rose, and the air was slightly cool, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang feel extremely sober.

He walked at the foot of the mountain.

A group of forbidden officers and soldiers slid down the city wall by ropes.

Over the years, the imperial court's work on Zhongshan has never stopped.

This was true even in the most difficult years of the imperial court's finances and taxes.

Around the entire bell mountain, there are several roads up and down the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked on the stairs up the mountain with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Biao crossed Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong and put the cloak on the old man's shoulder.

"It's cold and humid at night, so you can't catch a cold."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, but listening to the prince's words, he still did not refuse the prince's heart and filial piety.

The emperor didn't speak, he just cared about walking up the mountain, and Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong could only follow closely behind, not daring to say a word.

Wait until you are halfway up the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang was probably a little tired from walking, standing on a platform in the middle of the stairs up the mountain.

Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong followed behind Zhu Biao, and when they saw that the emperor had stopped, the three of them also stopped.

And the forbidden officers and soldiers who were far behind, immediately stopped.

Those of them who work on errands in the palace are the most able to look at people's eyes, check the situation, and judge the situation.

His Majesty the Emperor must have something bad to say in the palace tonight, and he wants to say it to the Founding Duke and Cao Guogong.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in place, looked up at the top of the mountain where he couldn't see the end, sighed lightly and said: "I am old in the end, if I put it in the first ten years, that is, a few feet of kung fu will go up, but now I want to take a breath in this halfway." ”

Li Jinglong cautiously looked at the emperor's face, then showed a little smile, and said softly: "You are also the spirit of Ryoma now, and the stick that you just rewarded Weichen with, ordinary people don't have this kind of strength." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at the kid: "You mean I beat you badly?" ”

Li Jinglong immediately bent over and said with a smile: "Wechen doesn't dare to say this about you, Wechen only thinks that you are strong." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jinglong and the two.

This kid is good in everything, but he is not as calm as his father's gang, and he is a little more slippery.

He sighed: "Old is old, and you bastards just talk about making me happy." Just like I am with you, I have no strength when I reach this mountainside, but you can still go up. ”

There are a lot of extensions of this statement.

Li Jinglong closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "The Ming Dynasty will have to rely on you in the future, not me, an old guy." I beat you today because of you bastards. ”

Li Jinglong immediately bowed over, and then felt that something was wrong.

pulled Chang Sheng beside him and bent down together.

"It's the minister who is too much of a bastard."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored this guy and sighed: "I'm not the kind of person who will be jealous of the courtiers, and I won't feel that you have made too many contributions, and there will be nothing to reward in the future."

If you don't get a reward, you won't do things for me? Even if I don't have anything to give you a reward, I'll invite you to eat and drink, it's okay. ”

Li Jinglong smiled and nodded again and again.

Chang Sheng's eyes were red, and he lowered his head deeply: "The minister knows his mistake." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "You're not wrong, how can you not think about these things as a courtier." It's just that our Ming Dynasty doesn't want such a thing.

Tomorrow is a day of joy and excitement, a day for the two of you to give the old fellows who have died a long time ago. It's good now, tomorrow at the court meeting, I still have to reprimand you in front of the ministers.

I'll leave the matter of eating and drinking for the next time. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang lifted his footsteps again and walked towards the mountain.

He's probably rested enough, and he's walking a little faster than before.

It seems that he is unwilling to lose to these younger generations.

Chang Sheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

Li Jinglong originally wanted to catch up, but when he saw Chang Lao Er doing this, he could only do the same.

After the two of them followed and kowtowed, they caught up with Zhu Yuanzhang in front of them, and heard the emperor speak again.

"The matter of Yingzhou, I estimate that it is probably over, Jiujiang will come back this time to rest for a while, and help the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion do something in Beijing.

The south is restless, I heard that Brother Sheng'er, you are about to hit the back of the plateau? ”

Hearing that he was coming back this time, he didn't have to go to Yingzhou again, and Li Jinglong's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

Chang Sheng nodded, and then shook his head: "The army of the Southern Expedition is now self-defeating, and it is only two thousand miles to the west.

It is really a territory that has been conquered, and it is necessary to migrate people from Jiaozhi Province, Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province, Yunnan Province and other places to settle, so as to stabilize the place, but it will slow down the speed of marching.

The ministers estimated that it would take about two or three years to really reach the back of the plateau. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I also estimated it like this, then when this year is over, Jiujiang will go to Shaanxi to travel to the capital, and then maybe go west, or go south to the plateau." It is always necessary to connect the west and the south. ”

Li Jinglong, who was secretly happy because he didn't have to go to Yingzhou just now, didn't stay long with the smile on his face, and disappeared immediately.

Yingzhou is not good, but it is countless times better than the northwest.

At least, if you do something on Yingzhou, no one will accuse you indiscriminately.

But the northwest is different, that side is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the local people are the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Sheng wanted to come for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty intends to go west and recover the Western Regions?" But ......"

"But do I know about the gentry's railroad?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, glanced at Chang Sheng lightly, and then said with a smile: "He is too anxious, even if I intend to let Daming recreate the scene of the strong Han and Tang Dynasty, I have to wait for the things in the north to settle."

Besides, his reasons were not sufficient, and I and the imperial court needed enough reasons to move the railway. ”

Ascending no more.

At this time, Zhu Biao took over the words: "Brother Sheng'er will also stay in Beijing for a few more days this time, so that the soldiers on the front line can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief and recuperate for a period of time."

When you and Jiujiang are busy with the matter of Jinfeng County Prince, Zhongshan still has to come again.

The Duke of Xinguo will be buried in the meritorious mausoleum here, and the old Uncle Wang of Kaiping and the old Uncle Wang of Qiyang will also re-erect a mound here.

When the time comes, you will all come to watch the ceremony, and it is also so that the old uncles will have a spirit in the sky, and they can take a look at our sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom have grown up and can run errands for the country. ”

There was a prince who raised his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again at this time: "There are also the Mausoleums of Meritorious Heroes, the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, all of whom have meritorious service to the country, and we cannot live up to them." Yingtian's feng shui is good, and I am also here, so I can still have time to see them. ”

If it is said that the meritorious mausoleum is to win over the hearts of the meritorious generals of the court, the kings of all dynasties have done similar things.

But the mausoleum of the heroes has never existed since ancient times.

Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong glanced at each other and knelt on the ground together.

"The ministers sacrificed their soldiers on behalf of the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, and thank Your Majesty for the Emperor's grace."

"Get up, you can probably see the sunrise at the top of the mountain."
