Chapter 196: Jing Martyrdom Orphan

Zhang was really ecstatic, and after Zhang Xu left, she hurriedly asked people to find Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi was a little impatient, but when he heard that it was related to the fourth brother, he hurriedly sorted out his emotions, and put the most sincere smile on his face, "What does the fourth brother want to do?" Is it a problem to keep a tiger? ”

"Who knows what the fourth child wants to do, you know, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are not the same as Li Jinglong, they were the ones who were determined to be martyred before, and the fourth child also looked at his father, and he didn't know what he thought."

Zhang barely said whether the fourth brother had any objections, but Zhu Gaochi understood, and he was also a husband and wife who had shared the same bed, so he took over the words, "The fourth brother is young, and in the battle of Jingjing, those firearms were all transformed by the people under his hands, and his father valued him, and he thought that he had made great contributions, and he should have done so." ”

"On the day of the winter solstice, there was a fire in the prince's mausoleum, which was a matter of father's honor, and my father sent me to deal with this matter instead of my father, presumably the fourth brother was also uncomfortable."

If you act on behalf of the Son of Heaven, you will naturally be jealous.

The husband and wife have a good heart, Zhang said, "The fourth brother is still too young, should His Royal Highness remind his father about this matter, if it causes a big incident because of this, it will not be good." ”

"With our parents here, we as brothers and sisters-in-law are not good at reprimanding our fourth brother by our father."

Zhu Gaochi came out of Zhang's house, and he didn't go to see Wei's anymore, he went to the third brother's house in person, Zhu Gaosui was wiping a sword, and when he saw the eldest brother coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Third brother, you told the eldest brother before, saying that your father had spoken, if the fourth brother did something wrong, you must tell your father, is this true or false?"

"Big brother, what am I lying to you about this kind of thing?" Zhu Gaosui naturally didn't think that the eldest brother came specifically to question him, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, did the fourth brother do something again?" ”

"Alas, speaking of which, the eldest brother is also chilling." Zhu Gaochi looked depressed, "I also heard about this, the fourth brother actually adopted Sheng Yong's sons and daughters, and asked people to see Tie Xuan, you say, what is the fourth brother doing?" ”

Zhu Gaosui is a person who has followed Zhu Di on the battlefield and even fought with Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, he can't help but think that at the beginning, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan occupied Jinan City and used the portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao to block the artillery fire of the Yan army, at that time, Zhu Gaosui was so angry.

It's just that later, Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan were both missing arms and legs, and after he entered Yingtianfu, he heard that the two of them only had one breath left, and their respective families couldn't tolerate them, so he didn't bother to be the wicked man.

Even people like Gao Wei can stay at home and keep their will, why does Zhu Gaosui have to hold on to those people?

But now, Zhu Gaosui feels that he may be wrong, could these people be that the fourth brother is protecting, and his father is bewitched by the fourth brother, so he will leave these people?

"No, I'm going to tell my dad!"

Zhu Gaosui stood up and walked out, Zhu Gaochi grabbed him, "Third brother, you can't just act so recklessly!" ”

Zhu Gaosui turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi, "You heard from the eldest brother that if you go alone, it may not have a good effect, if you are suspected by your father, it will not be good." In the past, didn't the soldiers under the command of Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan kill the Yan army? Listen to the eldest brother, the strength of the more people is greater! ”

When Zhu Gaosui heard this, it made sense, he was not without connections in the army, so he nodded and said, "Brother will go to inquire about the news first." ”

In history, after Qiu Fu was martyred in the Battle of Jingyan, because Zhang Yu and Tan Yuan were both killed, Qiu Fu's merits were extraordinary, he was okay as a general, but the commander was too bad.

In the seventh year of Yongle, the Tatar Khan Benyashili killed the envoy Guo Ji, Zhu Di appointed Qiu Fu as the commander-in-chief, hung the seal of the general, and Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng, Huozhen, Marquis of An, Wang Zhong, Marquis of Jing'an, and Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, led 100,000 elite cavalry to the north to conquer Tatar.

Before leaving, Zhu Di told Qiu Fu in every possible way not to be reckless in using troops, and to be cautious, and even issued an edict to be cautious.

However, these could not change Qiu Fu's reckless personality, and in the end he ended up with the destruction of the whole army.

It also opened the history of Zhu Di's Northern Expedition.

In the end, history has changed, and in the Battle of Jingjing, after having exquisite firearms, there are too few opportunities for military generals to charge into battle, so that many military generals have no chance to make meritorious contributions.

Among them is Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu was born in the army, originally guarded thousands of households in Yanshan, and Zhang Yu and Zhu Nengnai came out of the same group of people, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were crowned the princes of the country, while Qiu Fu was only crowned Hou.

At the beginning, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded, Zhu Neng and a group of heroic generals competed for merit in front of the emperor, for fear that Zhu Di would forget their merits. Only Qiu Fu, standing alone behind him, was silent.

Zhu Di deeply felt Qiu Fu's humility, and he was originally brave and planned to crown Qiu Fu as the prince of the country, but Zhu Gaoxian said a word, "Dad, Qiu Fu is not inferior to Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in terms of bravery, but this person has courage and no strategy, and he has no talent as a general, how can he stand side by side with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng." ”

At that time, Zhu Di felt that his youngest son was young but had the ability to understand people, so he listened to his son's advice and only made him a marquis.

I don't know how this word spread, after Qiu Fu heard it at first, he didn't say anything, and later, once, he drank stuffy wine at home alone, sighed, "I thought that my military exploits were known to the emperor!" ”

What is the implication?

Zhu Gaosui heard these things from the generals, so he immediately went to Qiu Fu and said, "The fourth brother is obviously protecting those orphans in Jingjing, what does he think in his heart?" Do you simply think they are pitiful, or do you have ulterior motives? I don't know if I'm a brother! ”

After hearing this, Qiu Fu was extremely angry, "If the Fourth Highness wants to administer justice for them, then kill all of us generals who lead troops!" ”

"I can't say that, the fourth brother is still a little younger, and it is inevitable that he will be bewitched. I mean, this matter can't be too big, it's not going to end if it's too big, let's find a few people to go and talk to the emperor? ”

Zhang Yu was sent to Beijing to defend the town, this is undoubtedly Zhu Gaoxian's opinion, Zhu Neng is preparing for the war, and he does not know where he is going to fight, since the Battle of Jingyan, he seems to have been removed from the list of generals of the emperor's pre-military meeting.

When there is a war, is it also wrong to charge into battle?

Is it also wrong to be brave?

Zhu Gaosui sighed, "Master Hou, I should have called you a duke, the matter of knighthood is really unexpected, if I had known about this earlier, I would definitely have to say a few kind words for you in front of my father, speaking of which, you and Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are both together, but they were crowned the prince of the country, but you are a marquis, your efforts, and meritorious work, are you less than them?"

A few words made Qiu Fu burst into tears.

Qiu Fu waved his hand, "Third Highness, this matter is over, and you don't have to say it." As for Sheng Yong's affairs, the minister still has to talk to the emperor. It's hard to get this country down! ”

"Dad has repeatedly told me and my eldest brother that Lord Hou is loyal and unmatched in the court!"

Zhu Gaosui lowered his voice in the last few words, and he said, "Dad is very fond of the fourth brother, this matter, let's not go up in a swarm to say, I'll say it first, and then, Hou Ye will find a few more people to tell his father, try to form a momentum, if you can find a few imperial history, it will be better." ”

Goshi can be impeached!

Qiu Fu said, "The minister thought of someone!" ”

"Who?"

"Xie Jin!" Qiu Fu said, "Although this person is a literati, the minister heard that this person is especially good at drilling camps, and he has been close to His Royal Highness the Four Princes many times. ”

Zhu Gaosui said, "I know, you are waiting for my news here." ”

After Zhu Gaosui returned to the palace, he took advantage of the darkness to go to his eldest brother to ask for a glass of wine, and the two brothers drank to a hearty place, Zhu Gaosui whispered about Xie Jin, "My brother has inquired, this person is a talent, when he was a child, he was known as a 'prodigy', Hongwu twenty years of Xie Yuan, Hongwu twenty-one years in the top three tenth, once to the emperor's grandfather on the book of ten thousand words, later, and on the "Taiping Ten Strategies" is a scholar, but also a drill camp. ”

Zhu Gaochi understood as soon as he heard it, this person is talented and famous, what civil officials value is fame, if it is a righteous person, it will be counted, but if the literati have greed, it will be much easier to talk.

The next day, when he was in the palace, Zhu Gaochi met Xie Jin, he was a corporal of Lixian, and praised Xie Jin, "I have read the "Ten Strategies for Taiping" written by Mr., and it is really well written, I don't know when, Mr. has time to explain it to me?" ”

At this time, Xie Jin was a Hanlin attendant, and the so-called attendant was to accompany the emperor to read and study, or to teach and lecture for the princes.

In that year, when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, he once set up a classroom in the main hall, invited famous Confucian professors to the prince and prince, and selected the handsome of the people and the sons-in-law of the ministers to accompany them in the hall.

At that time, all the scholars were looking forward to it, hoping to be selected and leave a name in history.

However, since the current emperor ascended the throne, although the main hall is still a place to study, it is basically a non-existent place. The second prince and the third prince passed the age of studying, and worshiped Daoyan as a teacher, although the fourth prince was young, he ran a college by himself, served as the dean, and did things that misled people's children.

Zhu Gaochi's Corporal Lixian was very moved by Xie Jin, and he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness is the posture of a benevolent monarch, if there is an order, the minister will go to the soup to fight the fire, not to mention just explaining the "Ten Strategies of Taiping", this is written by the minister when he is young and frivolous, His Royal Highness asks, and the minister should know everything. “

"So good! Please, sir! Zhu Gaochi seemed to be impatient, and the two went to the main hall one after the other.

Xie Jin's own handwriting, soon, the "Taiping Ten Strategies" was written out silently, and both hands were presented to Zhu Gaochi and said, "Your Highness, time has passed, today's "Taiping Ten Strategies" has been different from the past, the minister thinks that today's Ming Dynasty, the minister should learn from Dong Zhongshu, please respect Confucianism!" ”
