Chapter 253: Military Parade
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to do, "The third brother is not young, the marriage should be decided, and the person has already been chosen, so it is better to tell the queen mother directly, and let the queen mother discuss marriage with the Xiping Marquis Mansion." β
Seeing that the two brothers talked about this marriage as if it were in their pockets, Zhang couldn't help but be anxious.
She said with annoyance, "I am also to blame for this, I never thought that the fourth brother would interfere in this matter, I have often heard people say before, Miss Mu always goes to the Ming Imperial Academy, I thought that the girl was going to see her brother, who would have thought that she and the fourth brother ......"
Zhang didn't seem to be able to speak, but Zhu Gaosui was furious when he heard it, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, and sneered, "Big brother, you are the boss, you say something fair, are the three of us brothers together not as good as the fourth brother?" β
Zhu Gaochi moved his fat body, his two legs were hanging, his legs were so heavy that he pulled his meridians, a little uncomfortable, "Third brother, this matter has nothing to do with my father's mother, you have to blame it, it's enough to blame the fourth brother, don't blame my father and mother." β
Zhu Gaosui turned his face away, and said angrily for a long time before he said, "Big brother, only you are so honest." Although the father has made a prince, what is the difference between not having a prince? At present, in the court, the fourth brother's people account for most of the country, he alone is making firearms, warships, chariots, building roads, and building trains, and even the second brother was pulled by him to help him build warships, do you think that in the future, after a hundred years of your father's emperor, even if the prince is you, can you still sit on the throne steadily? β
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "I have become a prince, but I can't be a prince, and now it's not up to me to decide, I just have to do things well, my father said let me do disaster relief, let me greet my brothers, I just need to do these well." β
In three days, there are princes and princes and county kings running to Yingtianfu, Zhu Gaochi has to spend a lot of time entertaining these cousins, if he lives in Chunhe Palace, naturally there is a big chef in the palace who is responsible for the meal, and he will accompany him to eat and drink, and now, his father only lets him entertain, there is no cost from where, he still has to stick to his pocket, in the long run, Kangjun Wangfu will be eaten poor.
Not to mention, if he continued to eat like this, he gained ten pounds in less than a year.
At the moment, Zhu Gaochi has no other way, he only thinks of one thing, be a good son in front of his father, an obedient son who keeps his duty, he is the boss, he has to let the fourth child everywhere, and he doesn't trouble his father everywhere, and his father can't help but remember that he is the eldest son, the son of King Yan established by Emperor Taizu.
After Zhu Gaosui left, Zhu Gaochi asked to enter the palace, Zhu Di reviewed the chapter, he robbed Huang Yan's work, poured tea and water for Zhu Di, handed the pen and polished the ink, Zhu Di wrote the chapter, he took it and dried it, stacked it one by one, and asked for warmth from time to time.
Seeing this, Zhu Di simply handed over some small things to Zhu Gaochi to do, and Zhu Gaochi saw that there were more and more things in his hands, and he was more and more excited.
Although by his father's side, Zhu Gaochi knew more about the progress of the fourth brother, especially the land chariot, almost someone reported it to Zhu Di every day, and he was not worried, there was always a hunch that the fourth brother would just make him a wedding dress in the future.
Land chariots, Zhu Gaoxian designed a total of two, one is tracked, one is a walking system with tires, with tires, although the ability to climb mountains and mountains is a little lower, but the speed is much faster.
Working overtime tightly, by the end of the year, the mass production of land chariots had gradually become large-scale, Zhu Gaoxian took time to go back to the palace, and heard that the fourth brother was back, and after Zhu Gaochi met with the fourth brother, he avoided it very interestingly and withdrew from the palace.
Zhu Gaoxian glanced at his eldest brother deeply, and Zhu Di hurriedly pulled his son inside, "Don't care about your eldest brother, no one can snatch what your father wants to give you, you said that the preparations are almost done?" β
"Dad, it's almost, my son's idea is to wait for the New Year to go on the expedition, before that, give my son a little more time, and then, my son thinks, before going on the expedition, my father will hold a military parade first, so that the big guys know that our current military strength is in Daming!"
Zhu Di also wanted to know about it, so he naturally agreed in a hurry, and tentatively scheduled the military parade to be held on the day when the second dragon raised his head in early February, and called the Military Aircraft Department and several ministers to come in to discuss.
Regarding the military parade, Zhu Gaoxian did not put forward any opinions, only said that now there are too many types of troops, and the military parade must not be the same as before.
In response to Zhu Gaoxian's request, Ru Yu and other ministers searched through ancient books, but finally did not find an answer, and discussed back and forth with Zhu Gaoxian several times before deciding on a plan.
The following year, on February 2, the spring of the third year of Yongle, a total of 20 land combat vehicles were placed on the school field in the suburbs, of which six were tracked, twelve were tires, and two were armored bridge-erecting vehicles.
Mu Cheng came all the way from Yunnan, he received Mu Ruyan's letter, only to know that the original court actually made such a chariot, was excited, received Zhu Di's secret decree, he immediately decided to be brave, and stated to the emperor that he wanted to enter Beijing to participate in the military parade and swearing-in ceremony.
Zhu Di felt that he could understand Mu Cheng's mood at the moment, and he didn't think much about it, and agreed with a stroke of his pen, but the premise was that Mu Cheng wanted to settle the affairs in Yunnan.
The so-called thing, naturally, pointed out the preparation for the expedition, Mu Cheng handed over the matter to the capable deputy general, and hurried all the way to the capital, day and night.
Good-looking romance
Behind Zhu Di stood hundreds of civil and military officials of more than three grades, and these people couldn't help but talk about Zhu Di at this time, regardless of Zhu Di's presence.
"How could I have thought that my Daming would still have today, I heard that these shells can hit twenty miles, twenty miles, who can see so far?"
"On the battlefield, what do you want to do for twenty miles? Just hit it! "This is also a reckless man of letters.
"Hey, you didn't see the clairvoyance in the emperor's hand, I heard that you can see it in twenty miles."
Zhu Di listened to it in his heart, although the words of these literati sounded quite naΓ―ve, he also liked the honor brought by this naivety.
Zhang Yu served as the commander-in-chief of this military parade, a simple speaker pinned to his clothes, he walked up to Zhu Di, clenched his right hand into a fist, put it on his left chest, and his voice was like thunder, "Your Majesty, my Ming army is finished, please review it!" β
Zhu Di got off the school platform and got into his own car, the driver drove the car very slowly, Zhu Di stood on the car, holding the handrail with his left hand, and greeted the people present with his right hand, when he walked in front of the soldiers, everyone shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!" β
