It's the same as Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When they climbed to the top of the mountain, a faint gray dim light wiped away a little of the dark night in the distance.

The breeze blew on the top of the mountain, blowing the branches of the forest and blowing on the faces of the people.

To the east of Zhongshan, the dim light gradually became brighter, and the color began to change more.

When a red sun suddenly rises from the horizon, the whole heaven and earth shine in vain.

"What a rising sun!"

Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his hands on his hips, holding the cloak that the prince had draped on his body when he was going up the mountain, and the wind on the top of the mountain blew under the cloak, driving the corners to move constantly.

"I've forgotten how many years I've not seen anything like this."

The emperor is diligent.

But the location was firmly confined to the imperial city.

The sunrise is invisible.

Going back further, it must have been a few decades ago, when the emperor was still farming, he might have gone out early to work, and it was possible to see one or two times.

It's just that at that time, the emperor probably didn't have the heart to see what the sun was rising in the east and hanging high in the sky.

At that time, the emperor was more concerned about how many crops could grow in his own thin fields this year after bowing his head.

As for the things above his head, it was not for the emperor to think about at that time.

Li Jinglong was a little sleepy and a little tired.

Last night, he was beaten by Chang Lao Er, and he was beaten by the emperor again.

At this time he was sleepy and tired.

But he was still habitual, and echoed: "This kind of scene, just like the current situation of my Ming Dynasty, is like this rising sun. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, noncommittal.

He looked back at Yingtian City below the mountain.

At this time, the city has begun to be populated, the people are about to start a new day, and the officials have to continue to contribute to the country.

"It's time to go back to the palace."

"Today is your day."

……

"A month ago, the founding prince Changsheng and Cao Guogong Li Jinglong were summoned to return to Beijing from the Eastern Expedition Army and the Southern Expedition Army.

The imperial court welcomed him with generous gifts, and the emperor issued a decree, and the founding prince of Jin was often promoted to the king of Kaiping County, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, was the king of Qiyang County.

Changsheng plus the Taibao, the left pillar country.

Li Jinglongjia Taifu, Right Pillar Country.

The imperial court issued a decree and announced it to the world. Then Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day and made a ceremony for the king of Kaiping County and the king of Qiyang County in Beijing. ”

With the arrival of spring, the snow melts on the Daqing Mountains on the Hetao Plain.

When the soil absorbs enough snow water, it makes Daqing Mountain more and more lush.

In the meadows below the mountain, the water of the river has increased, and the shallow grass has grown almost to the knees.

A city that was already human height was gradually revealed in people's sight.

On the high-rise building in the city, which was first built in an expedited manner, Zhu Gaochi sat cross-legged on a mat, holding the latest newspaper in his hand, and knew the latest events in the imperial court with everyone present.

Now that he has climbed this tall building, he is no longer as cowering and frightened as he was at the beginning.

Although the exterior and underneath the high-rise building are still being decorated.

But the top floor was the first to be done.

With the huge and solid cement pillar in the middle as the support point, only narrow wooden pillars are erected on the four sides of the top floor, which hold the doors and windows together.

Just take a few steps.

The entire top floor is open on all sides, and you can see the whole picture of the whole Daqing City.

Zhu Yunxi sat in a position with his back to Daqingcheng and facing the south of the city. Because he has a table behind him, he can sit on the cushion and lean back a little more relaxed.

"The king of Qiyang County probably wants to stay in Beijing and go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion for a period of time. The king of Kaiping County must have stayed for a short time, and he will return to the south to continue to preside over the affairs of the southern expeditionary army. ”

Zhu Gaochi put down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at Zhu Yunxi, and added.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Counting the days, it should be roughly repaired before and after the Meritorious Mausoleum." ”

The imperial court wanted to build a meritorious mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain, and this matter was disapproved of by the whole court, and they praised the court for being benevolent and righteous.

And it doesn't cost much money.

Divide a piece of land, level the land, plant some trees and flowers, and make some stone carvings and the like, and it will be completed.

However, the main hall and several side halls dedicated to the meritorious gods are some years old.

But just like the late Xinguo Gong Tang He, it will probably not be long before he will be buried in the Meritorious Mausoleum.

Xin Guogong was the first to enter the Meritorious Mausoleum.

There will definitely be a ceremony to be held in the imperial court at that time, and the newly promoted King of Kaiping County and King of Qiyang County, as the two people with the highest titles among the meritorious deeds living in the court today, will definitely be present.

Zhu Yunxi changed his mouth and asked: "Recently, some people have been speculating whether there will be one or two surviving county kings with different surnames this time when the imperial court is going to the north with the strength of the country. It seems that the officers and men in the army are quite concerned about this. ”

Zhu Gaochi just smiled slightly, and continued to bow his head, going to read the recitals that came from all over the front line and from the rear.

The king of Shun'an, who was sitting on the side, took over the words, and there was some envy in his tone: "The king of Kaiping County and the king of Qiyang County are crowned, and the ceremony is quite grand. ”

When he said this, he remembered his title as the king of Shun'an.

It's just that he received the will from the imperial court, but he didn't even make the royal clothes, let alone have any canonization ceremonies.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "King Shun'an has this big green city. ”

Abu only laughed as well, and then changed his words: "Earlier, His Highness said that the army was discussing whether there would be a king in the Northern Expedition, and when such a thing appeared, the soldiers thought that they could get a few more levels of military merit. It is a good thing that the morale of the army is invigorated and everyone seeks merit. ”

"It's just that the whereabouts of the Tatar royal court are still unknown, and the more time passes, the fear of the army will change."

Zhu Yunxi replied lightly.

Until now, there had not been the slightest news from the front about the vanished Tatar court.

Abu only smiled and said with relief: "Everything will definitely be as your highness envisions, and the Tatar royal court will go east and try to enter Liaodong. ”

Drive the wolf.

The war on the front line is never immutable.

Only the former Song Dynasty would do it, and when the people in the rear drew a map, they asked the generals on the front line to march and fight in strict accordance with the drawings.

Today's Da Ming is the yellow finch.

In front, the Tatars are the praying mantis, and Liaodong is the cicada.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I don't know where Brother Bing'er has gone now." ”

……

Zhu Shangbing felt that he was about to die.

For almost a month, he led people to chase the fourth uncle's Eastern Route Army in front of him on the vast grassland, so that he can now spit out grass foam in his mouth.

Every day, in addition to hurrying, I look for water.

Drinking the clean water on the grassland, eating the dried meat stored in his bag and the edible rice flour paste in the flush, his mouth has long faded into the smell of birds.

"There are not as many as ten Tatars, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart!"

On horseback, Zhu Shangbing scolded in a low voice.

"No!"

"A hundred Tatar heads!"

If you can't finish cutting it yourself, you let your own soldiers surround the Tatars, and you can probably make up enough of them by waiting for them to cut them one by one.

After days of hurrying, Zhu Shangbing began to think about these messy things randomly.

Thought about it.

Zhu Shangbing felt that if he really did this, it would be nothing if Brother Xi knew about it, but once he was known by that bastard fat man, he would definitely be ridiculed for a long, long time.

He shook his head heavily.

Raise your head and look at the numb grassland that you have already seen.

Zhu Shangbing shouted at the front: "Where are you?" Where is my fourth uncle? ”

Immediately ahead, a general rode back on horseback.

"General, we crossed the Luqu River a few days ago, and according to the distance, that is, we can reach the Yanqu River in these two days."

Zhu Shangbing opened his mouth, in addition to the grass in front of him, he muttered in a low voice: "Difficult river!" Trouble River! Where the hell is this damn river! ”

He couldn't help but curse loudly.

The generals and soldiers around him did not change their faces.

The general's scolding was exactly what they wanted to say.

After days of hurrying, Zhu Shangbing couldn't hold on, and these soldiers were about to be unable to hold on.

If it weren't for the fact that in order not to starve the army on the front line, the rear paved roads and bridges along the way, and opened up the construction of the grain road, so that they could start from Daqingcheng and cross the grassland all the way, and they could still meet people on the grain road from time to time.

I'm afraid they all have to start wondering if they are the only ones on this grassland.

"River!"

"River!"

"General! River! ”

Two war horses carrying two scouts rushed back from the front.

The scout's face was filled with joy.

The war horse trampled on countless grasses and rushed to Zhu Shangbing.

"General! It's a river of trouble! ”

Zhu Shangbing immediately grabbed the reins and widened his eyes: "Have you seen King Yan's Eastern Route Army?" ”

"Swallow...... Yes! The army is stationed by the river! ”

The scout inhaled heavily, the folds on his face piling up more and more with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

"Fourth uncle! I'm coming! ”

Zhu Shangbing laughed wildly, shouting indiscriminately.

"Let's go! The whole army picks up! ”

Zhu Shangbing raised the horsewhip in his hand and shouted to the whole team, and then the horsewhip was heavily drawn, and the war horse under him made a neighing sound and rushed out in an instant.

"Ahh

On the side of the troubled river, in the camp of the Eastern Route Army of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was the commander of the Eastern Route Army, suddenly sneezed.

Before he could wonder, he had been paying extra attention to avoiding the cold recently, and he was strong and strong, why he suddenly sneezed.

Then I heard footsteps coming from outside the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Lord Qiqi, Zhu Shangbing, the prince of Qin, led the troops and came with the decree of His Royal Highness Taisun."

Zhu Di frowned, looking at the soldiers kneeling under the tent: "Why did Brother Bing'er come suddenly." ”

He said a word, but immediately stood up.

Zhu Di walked outside and asked, "Where is he now?" ”

"It's right outside the tent."

"Hahaha! Fourth uncle! Fourth uncle! ”

"Fourth uncle!"

"My nephew is coming for you!"

"Fourth uncle! Where are you? ”

Zhu Di led people from the tent to the outside, and there was a black swirl in front of him, and then he gradually adapted to the light outside the tent.

Then he saw Zhu Shangbing, who was covered in grass foam, shouting around like crazy.

"Here!"

Zhu Di couldn't help rolling his eyes, feeling that it was necessary for him to tell the second child that the son of his family might be a fool.

Poof.

A crisp sound sounded in front of the tent of the Central Army of the Eastern Route Army.

Zhu Shangbing knelt in front of him with his thighs held his thighs at a speed that Zhu Di couldn't react to.

"Fourth uncle, I finally found you......"

Zhu Shangbing screamed, then hugged Zhu Di's thigh tightly, and whimpered.

Zhu Di was about to be dumbfounded.

Is this kid really having a bad brain?

He looked at the soldiers who followed Zhu Shangbing.

"Your general, this is ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di's hand had already touched Zhu Shangbing's hair that was about to clump.

Bow your head again.

Taking a closer look at this moment, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

I saw Zhu Shangbing, who was covered with grass foam, and there was a thick layer of mud on his neck. The undershirt under the armor has begun to be worn backwards.

Look at the soles of his feet that show because this kid is kneeling on the ground and hugging his thighs.

The middle of the boots has also been significantly deformed because of the long fall in the stirrups, and the edges have been worn and broken.

This is all the way from the Kannai, without rest in between.

Zhu Shangbing's personal soldiers also stepped forward at this time, lowered their heads and whispered: "Back to the prince, we received the decree of the grandson, and we rushed all the way from Daqingshan, and only took some supplies on the grain route of the three-way army in the middle, and never rested in the middle. Even at night, he relied on the war horse to sleep for a while, and then continued to hurry. ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Di frowned, and asked in a somewhat distressed tone.

Zhu Shangbing raised his head fiercely: "Brother Xi asked you to let the Tatar royal court go to Liaodong!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's brows tightened again.

Behind him, the generals who followed out of the big tent of the Chinese army also frowned slightly and looked puzzled.

Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, frowned even more and said: "Our army scouts have already found the traces of the Tatar royal court, and it is only three or two days away from here. Why did Taisun ask us to let these wolf cubs go to Liaodong at this time? Doesn't Your Highness want us to hold back the Tatars? ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di let out another sound, but his eyes turned back a little gloomily and glanced at Wang Bi.

Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi immediately lowered his head.

After suppressing Wang Bi, Zhu Di's face relaxed a little, turned his head to look at Zhu Shangbing in front of him, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Get up, follow me into the account and speak carefully."

Zhu Shangbing tilted his head, tears rolling in his eyes.

He nodded heavily, and then whispered: "Fourth uncle, I'm hungry......"

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Di suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Shangbing up, and waved his big hand: "Order, to make a meal for Brother Bing'er, there must be wine and meat, and there must be green vegetables!" ”

Zhu Di's personal soldiers immediately received the order, and turned around to give the order.

Zhu Di said again at this time: "Send food to the soldiers who came with Brother Bing'er." ”

The soldier replied again, and then finally went to the Huotou camp.

Zhu Shangbing hugged Zhu Di's arm tightly.

Zhu Di glanced at it, didn't say much, and let this kid hold him.

The two turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
