Because the whip on the grassland whips people, there are many sayings in it, the light whip is a show of love, and the heavy whip will see blood, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't really want him to die, so he kicked him in the ass, which was considered to be a stop.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and got on his horse again, and ran around the grassland with the guards for a while, intending to find a few wild games to taste, and just ran to a high place on the grassland, when suddenly he stopped the horse with a bang, and immediately pressed the saber in his waist with his hand.

In the distance, there were hundreds of fast horses galloping towards this side, and Zhu Gaoxu's first reaction was a Tatar attack, he was worried that the Tatars would attack, and the soldiers would suffer losses if they did not have time to react in broad daylight, but they suffered.

But when he got off the horse and went to check, he found that the front was a grassland costume, and the back was Zhu Neng's team.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu pressed the saber back, but he was still vigilant: "General Zhu, what are you?" ”

Zhu Neng waved his hand and said: "Their tribe was nomadic here before, but there are very few left that were slaughtered by the order of the Tatar Taishi Arutai, and there are still hundreds of good horses here that can be used by us." ”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned, and said, "Which tribe are you from?" ”

The white-haired old man at the front trembled with emotion: "My name is Aqige, and we are a small tribe, the Huaguna tribe. ”

Hearing that it was the Huaguna tribe, Zhu Gaoxu was vigilant, this tribe was soon slaughtered by Arutai directly, but he didn't expect to see anyone alive.

"There are still remnants of Birch Guna."

"Yes." Aqige burst into tears, clasped his hands tightly and said, "Because it's been ...... Ming recently." The Ming army attacked, very close to our tribe, Arutai surrendered for no reason, and confiscated the horses, grain, grass, cattle and sheep of various tribes.

When I heard the news, I was worried that I would be affected, so I took a few dozen people to hide in the north, but when I came back, I found that Arutai had slaughtered his people, young and old, and our relatives had all died at the hands of Arutai. ”

Zhu Neng said: "Lord Wang, let them send the horses back first." ”

Zhu Gaoxu understood what Zhu Neng meant, and he must have something to say to himself, so he motioned for his soldiers to leave with these people first.

The two of them rode horses and strolled on the grassland, and Zhu Neng saw that there was no one before and after: "As far as I know, it is actually because Arutai suspects that the Huaguna tribe is guiding the way for our soldiers, and they have suffered a big loss, so they are very resentful.

This time they have descended on us in the hope that we will avenge them when we attack Arutai. ”

Zhu Gaoxu sat on horseback, and looked at the Huaguna tribe who were being taken away by the soldiers in the distance, feeling slightly guilty, but quickly disappeared.

He is a person who does not like to sympathize with anyone who feels guilty.

Then Zhu Neng said: "They are also willing to give us live cattle and sheep this time, just to help the soldiers replenish some meat." ”

On the way north this time, Zhu Gaoxu passed by Beiping Mansion to see Qiu Fu, if Qiu Fu was there this time, he might have more loyal henchmen.

If you can get the two wisdom bags of Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan, it will push the world even more, Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt unhappy in his heart, he really didn't understand what was good about the eldest brother, and the old monk treated him like this.

The last time the Tatars set up an ambush in the Horqin steppe, the Ming army suffered a loss, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng have always taken this as a lesson and acted very cautiously.

Yingtian, the heart of the Ming Dynasty is wrapped in the winter sun, and the Fengtian Temple is about to disperse.

The civil and military officials lined up neatly and listened to Zhu Di's words quietly.

"I'm going to walk along the way next year."

Your Majesty will be on a northern tour next year, which is earlier than in history.

Cheng Yuan weighed it slightly in his heart.

Then this way to the north, this year all over the country will repair the palace, build roads, clean water and splash the streets, it seems that you have to go to Beiping.

At that time, the affairs of the imperial court will be temporarily handed over to Zhu Gaochi.

But in history, when Zhu Di handed over to Zhu Gaochi, he also limited his power, not allowing him to give officials and rewarding anyone.

Zhu Gaochi is also smart, so he said that he would leave a mark on everything he had handled, and then ask Zhu Di to come back and gradually make mistakes.

As soon as the emperor ordered, all localities were about to start getting busy, and Zhu Laosi was about to toss the sufficient treasury left by Emperor Hongwu.

But that's not something you can decide for yourself.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Gaochi found Cheng Yuan with some embarrassment and asked when he could cultivate himself.

In the big square in front of the Fengtian Palace, looking at the cute Zhu Gaochi, Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the medicine that the imperial doctor gave to His Highness before is somewhat useful, but you still need to run a lot."

Running is a major thing in self-cultivation, that is, you have to run your hands and feet, so as to ...... Also avoid greasy things, in short, listen to the courtier's arrangement. ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly saluted Cheng Yuan respectfully and said, "Then please ask Mr. to help me." ”

Cheng Yuan was so serious by Zhu Gaochi that he was amused, and said that he couldn't stand it, and when he returned home, he asked the carpenter and blacksmith to make some self-cultivation equipment, and when he came back from Chaohu, he would start.

Zhu Gaochi nodded hurriedly, "I just hope that I can cultivate myself well, and I won't be disgusted by my father." ”

After speaking, he looked around again, and seemed to be very afraid of Zhu Laosi.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, when the time comes, Your Highness will definitely show people with another respectful face, and the fat ones are very good potential stocks."

"What do you mean by potential stocks?"

"It's the future." Cheng Yuan said.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he smiled reassuringly and said to Cheng Yuan: "Can you be like the second brother, sir, don't make fun of me." ”

For Zhu Gaochi, he really doesn't blame himself for being so worried, when he was in Beiping Mansion, he finally lost a lot of weight, but as a result, Jing Nan succeeded and became fat.

Waiting for the Huazhou earthquake, he lost weight, but it bounced back a few days later, and so on and on, even if Cheng Yuan promised him, he didn't dare to fully believe that he would lose weight.

I am afraid it is impossible to be as powerful as King Han, after all, Zhu Gaoxu was born as a military general.

In history, Zhu Gaoxu had scaly moles on his cheeks, and Yuan Zhongche said that he was a dragon scale. There are also Xiangshi who ran to the Han Palace, saying that Zhu Gaochu had the posture of an emperor, which strengthened Zhu Gaoxu's belief, and even thought that his eldest brother had taken the crown prince.

Ji Gang came over from afar, saw Zhu Gaochi and Cheng Yuan talking, and said with a sincere smile: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "Commander Ji." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at Ji Gang, this son of a girl is really haunted, turned his head and didn't talk to Ji Gang, he is now in a state of anger against Ji Gang, and he doesn't have a good face to give.

Ji Gang said: "Yo, Zhen Guogong, haven't you gone to Chaohu Lake yet?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister still has something to do, so I'll go back to the house first." Cheng Yuan didn't pay attention to the discipline, but turned around and left.

"Okay." Zhu Gaochi nodded, and then left with a smile.

Ji Gang looked at Cheng Yuan's distant back, his eyes staring at him like a poisonous snake.

…………

The window is open, and outside the window is the warm pool, although someone is talking, but the big golden carp more than three feet long is still floating on the water, and it will suddenly jump out, and then smash into the water with a pop, causing ripples.

In the pavilion, Cheng Yuan was busy packing up the things he needed.

An Cheng helped him pack his clothes, and said in a chattering voice: "Do you want to bring books?" ”

"Ah...... Don't want this one, that one, I brought the anti-Japanese minutes I wrote before, and the box that you put away before. ”

"The mahogany box, what's in there?"

"Two books, the new book of Ji Xiao and the record of military training, these are all idle books, given by others. You don't have to. ”

"Did you say that someone gave you two copies? The lock is so tight, I don't know what I think you put in a treasure. She put the box back on the bookshelf and went about something else.

"You are also doing things for the imperial court, and my father should also read this, and promise you about the shipyard and shipping, and you should not take back the decision by listening to the words of others, after listening to the twelfth uncle, I think you should not mention that matter again."

"Your Highness...... Will be with me...... Stand together, right? ”

An Cheng glanced at him and said, "Fool, this palace is not for you, for Zhengqing." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "By the way, Meng Ge Timur, who has just returned to the imperial court, and Aha Chu, sent a woman and his own daughter to His Majesty. ”

"Isn't that the norm?" She wondered.

"Oh, it's a common thing, just tell you, wait for me to come back." Cheng Yuan smiled.

Did he know that two hundred years later, the descendant of Möngke Timur would be Nurhachi.

Zhu Di placed Jianzhou Wei this year, and that Aha out, that is, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, was surnamed Jin, or Gulun.

At this year's court meeting, he was appointed as a commander by Zhu Di and named Li Sicheng, becoming Zhu Di's cheap father-in-law.

For the obedient Möngke Timur, Cheng Yuan seemed to see that two hundred years later, the dead cub of Jiannu Nurhachi, and he had to pay attention to this matter.
