Chapter 234: Parting Ways

Three days later, in the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, remembered that there were a large number of princes and princes who deceived Zhu Quan into drinking wine in the palace. If CaIHonGeNXue spoke out against it, he naturally had to obey him and stay in the palace obediently.

On the shore of the small lake in the backyard of King Ning's mansion, Zhu Quan saw that after Xu Ying changed his clothes, he was dressed as a young man who was personable in the past, with a smile on his face, and he impatiently pulled himself towards the small door in the corner of the backyard, and suddenly understood why this coquettish wife, who had always been rude and willful, was so happy, and saw that there was no one in the quiet courtyard, so he took it into his arms, gently stroked the hair on Xu Ying's sideburns and said softly, "If you want to go out to play in the future, go to play, and go home if you want to go home, go home, It's just a matter of sneaking out the back door. ”

When Xu Ying heard this, she couldn't help but be very grateful, raised her head and pursed her lips and said resolutely, "If the two of us are alone, you have to call me Senior Sister." ”

"Inch by inch." Zhu Quan scolded with a smile and reached out to twist Xu Ying's delicate little nose.

Xu Yingjiao broke free from Zhu Quan's embrace with a smile, opened the small door of the courtyard and ran out.

Outside the backyard of the palace was a secluded alley, Sima Chao took several palace guards to patrol here, and saw two figures dressed as scholars not far away chasing and running away, vaguely His Royal Highness King Ning and Princess Xu Ying, but their faces were also unfazed. It's no wonder that since His Royal Highness tricked the princes and children of Yingtian City into drinking the happy wine, this prince has done such strange things that he can't make a fuss anymore.

At the same time, a rather gorgeous and sturdy caravan drove out of the mansion of Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, under the escort of hundreds of households and dozens of pro-army guards of the Ming army, and headed all the way towards the gate of Yingtian City.

Sitting in the comfortable car was a girl wearing yew and a pretty face, who was Feng Sheng's daughter, Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan's two personal maids almost stayed at home in the Song Guogong Mansion, and through the car curtains, they could see the flow of people on the street, which was very lively, and they couldn't help but be very excited, chattering non-stop.

Feng Xuan half-rolled up the curtain of the car, looking at the countless figures dangling in front of the car like autumn water, seeing this bustling and lively street scene, but there was a lonely and difficult feeling in her heart for no reason, as if walking alone in the empty mountains and valleys, and I don't know if it was because of the grievances suffered in the Song State Mansion after his father left, and the long and lonely journey he was about to embark on, or I heard that the eldest brother Feng Wen told that His Majesty the Emperor had issued a holy decree to let Xu Ying, the beloved daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, marry Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, as a concubine.

It turned out that although she was very favored by her father, she was not Feng Sheng's own child, her biological father was Feng Sheng's army in the robe, Feng Xuan was still in infancy, her father died in the fierce battle with the Yuan army, and grew up under Feng Sheng's upbringing since childhood, so she was not treated by his wife and concubine at home.

In a hurry, more than a month passed, in order to oppose Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, in order to oppose Zhu Di, the king of Ning, and the dismissal of many civil officials, and the staff of Zhu Ting, but they still could not change Zhu Yuanzhang's arbitrariness. Zhu Di and Zhu Quan each led 500 Ming soldiers and embarked on a journey to Beiping and Daning.

After more than a month, he had already come to the vicinity of Beiping, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sat on his horse, turned back to Zhu Quan and smiled, "Old Seventeen, since you have come to Beiping, it is better to rest for a few days before leaving, so that the foolish brother can do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." "Although he has just arrived, he has not yet entered the city, and he already seems to be the master of this place.

Zhu Quan shook his head slowly and said, "Daning is still hundreds of miles away, and the junior brother has to hurry up." Let's get rid of it here. ”

Zhu Di bowed slightly, and spurred the horse away. Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng led five hundred soldiers to escort the people of the palace and others, and slowly moved forward.

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Di's distant back, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, Zhu Lao Siji had a strategy, and hoped that the emperor would change his mind and make him the prince. When we each took over the military power, the former offensive and defensive alliance naturally collapsed, and it could be said that we had already parted ways, but I am afraid that at this time, I would have regarded me as a stumbling block on the road to imperial power. I wonder if he will meet in arms when he sees each other in the future? Thinking of this, he spurred his horse and led the army forward.

Daning history is called "Zimeng Wild", the Western Han Dynasty right Beiping County Governing Office, Song Liao was the capital of the Liao Kingdom. It is located more than 300 miles outside the northeast of Beiping, and is located at the northern edge of the eastern section of the Yanshan Mountains. For the prevention of Liaodong, the nomadic tribes of Mobei invaded the Central Plains in the south, has an extremely important strategic value, so when Feng Sheng, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, commanded the army to conquer Nahachu, the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang specially asked Feng Sheng to command a large number of people to build and expand the city wall, with the intention of garrisoning the army.

After walking for a few days, he stayed on a hillside and looked at Daning in the distance. Zhu Quan couldn't help but perk up, only to see that after the expansion, Daning at this time covers an area of about a few miles, although it is far from being able to compare with the city in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but it is also surrounded by high walls, and has its own weather, especially noteworthy, but there is a large area of camp tents and continuous military camps outside the city wall.

About an hour later, Zhu Quan was already sitting on the "dark clouds covering snow", leading Jing Jun, Sima Chao, Ma Sanbao and others to a distance from the city gate, looking at the city gate, a group of people wearing official uniforms and armor stood solemnly beside the road, obviously the local officials and generals in the army were waiting for their prince.

When he got to the front, he saw a general wearing armor who was over forty years old kneeling on one knee and arched his hand and said loudly: "Xiaguan Liaodong Governor Ma Yun, see His Royal Highness King Ning Chitose." ”

On his side, there was an elderly general with gray sideburns and a majestic spirit, who was more than half a hundred years old, and said in a rather loud voice: "The subordinate Yang Ling, the former commander of Datong Town, Shanxi, see Your Highness." Behind the two of them were three tribal men wearing armor and looking quite hideous, but they were the leaders of the three tribes of Wuliangha, Haisa Nan Taxi, Tabin Timur, Azashri, and the master's best friend Feng Tieling, Fang Jinsong and the rest of the Ming army.

A civil official with a strange appearance, about forty years old, three long beards under his chin, and wearing a seven-grade civil official costume bowed to one side, but he was the parent official of Daning, Liu Chengzong, the county magistrate.

Ma Yun and Liu Chengzong had several encounters when Zhu Quan followed Feng Sheng's army to conquer Nahachu, but this Yang Ling looked forward to his prestige, and it was obvious that he was a general in the army.

After Zhu Quan turned over and dismounted, he stretched out his hand to help everyone up, and said with a smile: "This king is in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and he also hopes that Ma Dudu, Yang Zongbing, and Liu Zhixian will work together to serve the court and protect the territory and the people." ”

Although the magistrate wearing a black veil and wearing an emu costume is only a seven-grade civil official, he is a parent official who holds real power in the local area, although he has the military power of Daning, but this Liu Chengzong is not his own subordinate official, but obeys the orders of the imperial court's officials and households. Thinking of this, Zhu Quan also spoke warmly to Liu Chengzong.

Yang Ling is the first time he has met Zhu Quan today, but it's okay. Although Ma Yun, the governor of Liaodong, was not familiar with Zhu Quan, he had also heard of some of his fierce things in the past, but at this time, he saw that His Royal Highness King Ning, who was wearing a python robe and was young, and was deeply valued by His Majesty the Emperor, was very gentle in his words, and there was not much arrogance, and he couldn't help but wonder very much.

Liu Chengzong was born in the imperial examination in the past, and his temperament was very calm, so he naturally knew that the adults of the six departments in the court were mostly against His Majesty the Emperor dividing the feudal kings. As the parent official of Zhu Quan's domain, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to do than the magistrate of others, thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little worried in my heart when I greet it today. Unexpectedly, today's His Royal Highness King Ning's speech was very gentle, not as flamboyant as when he first met Marshal Feng Sheng's army in the past, but it made his previous anxious state of mind a lot easier, and he bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness has come from afar, and please enter the city to rest." ”

Zhu Quan turned his head to look at the noisy and lively cattle and horse trading market in the distance, shook his head, turned his head and ordered Ma Sanbao to lead the palace guards to escort Xu Ying's car into the city, and then said to Liu Chengzong, "This market is much bigger than in the past, it is rare to encounter such a lively situation today, how about you go with this king to have a look?" ”

When everyone heard that Zhu Quan was going to see the unfortunate cattle and horse market despite the fatigue of the journey, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, which was quite unexpected.

Cattle are the necessary livestock for the army to produce grain at this time and solve the rations of his own soldiers, but horses are indispensable for the formation of cavalry.

When I got closer, I was greeted by a smell of filth. Zhu Quan, Ma Yun, Yang Ling and others have been in the army for a long time, and they don't know that they have been in contact with horses, but a cadre of civil officials below Liu Chengzong couldn't help frowning.

I saw that the market was crowded, and many people from many tribes were either leading cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, or carrying bundles of good animal skins and medicinal materials, and trading in front of the ox carts full of goods for people who came to the Han merchants, in exchange for silk, porcelain and other goods. If there is a person on both sides who is familiar with Chinese and understands the tribal language, it is fine, but if the number of goods is very large, and ten fingers are not enough to compare, it is often so anxious that both sides are sweating profusely, arguing and quarrelling.

The chaotic crowd saw Zhu Quan leading dozens of armored generals, thousands of households, and well-dressed officials, followed by hundreds of Ming soldiers with weapons in their hands, and they all avoided both sides and made way for them.

After strolling around for a while, Zhu Quan saw that most of the people who traded were bartering, and almost never saw the two sides trading with silver, and after a little thought, he understood that silver money and other things could not be eaten or drunk for the nomadic tribes, which could be said to be cumbersome and useless, so it was naturally better to trade directly with livestock for what they needed.

Everyone was walking on their own, but they saw a large group of people in front of them surrounding the inner three floors, and the outer three floors were like water leaking. Although I don't know what happened, I can hear someone in the crowd roaring and scolding, as if there is some kind of dispute and conflict.
