Chapter 401: Lan Yu's Uncle is really not in vain......
Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, has long looked down on Zhu Yunxi, or since he learned that the old man would rather be the grandson of his eldest brother than make himself the prince, his mentality exploded, and he looked down on all of Zhu Biao's sons.
Now seeing the eldest nephew drum up such a powerful cannon, Zhu Zhang's mentality is even more broken, even if he knows that saying cool things will not affect the eldest nephew at all, he can't help but squeeze him a few words.
It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, let's get addicted to it first!
"Father, think about it, this cannon will definitely be a sharp weapon on the battlefield in the future, I don't know how many people will die under the cannon."
"Zhu Yunxi named it after your year name, so wouldn't the unjust soul who died under the cannon in the future come to you to ask for your life?"
As soon as Zhu Fan's words came out, everyone looked at Zhu Yunxi teasingly, wanting to see how this grandson could deal with it.
However, without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak, Lao Zhu took the first step to relieve the siege for the eldest grandson.
"Humph!"
"In the process of establishing the Ming Dynasty, there are millions of casualties, so let them come to us for their lives!"
As soon as Lao Zhu's remarks landed, everyone shut up in amusement, and even Zhu Zhang, who was bent on stirring up trouble, didn't dare to speak anymore.
He vaguely felt that the old man's anger was almost full, and if he dared to talk more, the old man could really throw himself off the city wall.
After the military exercise, Lao Zhu held a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers, and threw a number of envoys from vassal states to Zhu Yunxi, so that Zhu Yunxi could entertain them in the Wenhua Palace.
When Lao Zhu and the others returned to the palace to eat and drink, the target venue outside the city ushered in a new group of audiences.
Some of these onlookers were city people, some were military generals, and some were Guozi prisoners.
Han Qing also blended in with the crowd and observed the scene of the destruction of the artillery.
After seeing that the entire hill bag had been blown into a big pit, Han Qing was shocked and filled with infinite joy.
If he got the cannon, or got the blueprint of the cannon, wouldn't it be easy to blow up the Zhu butcher?
However, how do you get a big ** paper?
Han Qing came out of the crowd and hurriedly found his niece Han Yunshang to talk, asked Han Yunshang to find Zhu Yunwen, and then asked Zhu Yunwen to steal the drawings for himself.
Han Yunshang felt that it was difficult to handle it after hearing about this, but she still passed the information to Zhu Yunwen and asked Zhu Yunwen to look at it and think of a way.
After receiving this task, Zhu Yunwen sighed silently in his heart. He didn't even get a viewing platform close to the city gate tower during the military exercise, how could he get the blueprints of the cannon?
In fact, not only Han Qing coveted the blueprints of the cannon, but also Fuji Youshou of the Wa Kingdom, Lu Song of Korea, Nguyen Zongliang of Annam, and the Tusi leaders in the southwest all wanted to get the blueprints of the cannon.
It's just that as soon as they heard that there were Jinyi guards guarding the door in the Hope School, they all moved their minds.
What kind of person is Jinyiwei, that is the pro-army of the Ming Emperor, and he wants to steal things under their noses, isn't that looking for death?
The banquet in the Fengtian Hall is divided into three layers, the first layer is Lao Zhu's princes and grandsons, who form the first layer around Lao Zhu.
The second layer is the civil and military nobles, as well as the relatives of the emperor, they are the most loyal supporters of the Ming Dynasty, and they were twisted into a community of interests by Lao Zhu through blood relations.
The third layer is the civil and military officials, and it is also the largest group.
They sat on both sides according to the distinction of civil and military, and each led three or five friends to put the table together, drinking and chatting at the same time.
Lan Yu also mixed up a position, in an inconspicuous position on the second layer.
Although his title of Duke of Liangguo was taken away, he still has the identity of the emperor's grandson and uncle, and the old man of Shu King Zhu Chun, how can he say that he is a serious relative of the emperor, and it is not too much to sit on the second floor.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this guy Lan Yu is a little floating.
When he saw that no one toasted him, he felt a little breathless, so he picked up a wine glass and walked to the center.
"Superior, did you forget something?"
As soon as Lao Zhu saw Lan Yu, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
"Lanyu, what do you mean by that?
」
Lan Yu said staggeringly.
"Some time ago, the superior personally agreed, and he wanted to give an explanation to the soldiers of the Northern Expedition!"
"It's been almost a month now, you can't forget it, right?"
Lao Zhu felt awkward when he heard this, and said that he deliberately called the vassal kings back, wasn't it just for this?
"We haven't forgotten!"
"We're about to tell the emperors about this!"
When Lao Zhu said this, he immediately got up and raised his glass.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have something to ask you for."
Lao Zhu's sudden words surprised everyone, when did His Majesty the Emperor become so polite?
The vassal kings also stared at their fathers with puzzled faces, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in their father's gourd?
And what does Lan Yu mean by the soldiers of the Northern Expedition?
Only some of the officials present roughly guessed that it might be a veteran who had gone out with Lan Yu before.
At that time, His Majesty promised them on the city wall, saying that he would give them a proper settlement.
Zhu Li was the first to stand up and express his position.
"Father, if you have anything to say, your sons and daughters will go to the soup and fire, and you will not hesitate!"
As soon as Zhu Li's voice fell, Zhu Zhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Hu and others got up one after another.
"The father has an order, and the sons and ministers are everything!"
Lao Zhu saw that the emperors were giving face like this, and immediately laughed and drank it all.
"Good, good!"
"You emperors have this heart, we are very relieved!"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that some veterans of the Northern Expedition want to be settled. Didn't each of you bring three guards and horses, just to help the court settle the veterans."
"Veteran......
When all the princes heard this, they all fell silent, even Zhu Li, who was the first to stand up, shut up.
Zhu Li knew how hard it was for the soldiers who followed Lan Yu's northern expedition, and most of Lan Yu's pro-military camp was lost, and most of those who survived were injured, and some even lacked arms and legs.
If his father plans to give him these disabled soldiers, then he, a dutiful son, will have to say "no" to his father.
"There are more than 30,000 veterans of the imperial court's northern expedition, of which 10,000 are disabled."
"Let's not go and settle with you one by one, didn't you bring 3,000 people into Beijing each?"
"All these 3,000 people are left, and you can bring back 3,000 veterans!"
As soon as Lao Zhu said this, the first layer of the vassal king circle instantly exploded.
Zhu Fan immediately jumped out to express his opposition.
"Father, you're too eccentric!"
"We have a total of three guards and horses, and there are less than 20,000 people in the full fight, and you have stuffed 3,000 disabled veterans at once, and you still make us unable to live!"
Although the others didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Zhu Zhang, they all showed anger, and their faces were full of reluctance.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Fan with a calm face, and said to the people beside him.
"King Qin is drunk, help King Qin to go to Beizhen Fusi Prison to sober up!"
Lao Zhu originally wanted to make an example of King Qin and force the other princes to admit the account. But he didn't admit it, and this incident became the last straw that crushed King Qin.
King Qin kicked over the table without waiting for the Jinyi guard to step forward, and then took off the Qin King gown's robe on his body and the crown on his head and threw it heavily on the ground.
"Father!"
"If you do this, then I don't deserve this King of Qin, give it to whoever you like!"
"Anyway, there's no door for me to contain those disabled veterans!"
After King Qin said this, he snorted lightly and lay down on the ground, making up his mind to play this scoundrel.
Seeing this, Lao Zhu's chest rose and fell violently, but he couldn't do anything about this rebel.
There's no way, who let this rebel have a good mother!
"Drag it out!"
"Drag this rebel out of here!"
In Jinyiwei, Zhu Fan was given
After being dragged out, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Li expectantly.
"Third child, you come and make a statement!"
Zhu Li squirmed when he heard this.
"Father, the fief of the sons and daughters is already close to the Northern Yuan, and you have stuffed another three thousand burdens, how can you let the sons resist the attack of the Northern Yuan!"
"Otherwise, you let the other younger brothers share more, and the son will solve the three hundred people for the imperial court......
After Zhu Li said this, before Lao Zhu could react, the other vassal kings exploded.
"Third brother, my Beiping Mansion is also very close to the grassland, and there are Liaodong savages in the east!"
Zhu Li saw that it was Zhu Di who spoke, and hurriedly looked at King Zhou.
"Fifth brother, your fief is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, you can bear more for the imperial court!"
King Zhou was not happy when he heard this, and he said in his heart that no good thing could be done, and this kind of bad thing could always find him.
"Third brother, if you say this again, I'll turn my face with you!"
"What is the hinterland of the Central Plains?"
"The hinterland of the Central Plains was defeated in the last years of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and now there are grass and wolf smoke everywhere!"
"You threw so many old, weak, sick and disabled people to me, this is to make my King Zhou a dead end!"
When Zhu Li saw King Zhou say this, he could only look at the other younger brothers. Seeing this, the others hurriedly shook their heads in disapproval.
"Third brother, our Sichuan territory is not very peaceful, don't try to stuff people with me!"
"Third brother, we Jiangxi are even more barbarians, and a little carelessness can cause a civil uprising, you have weakened my guards, what will I do to suppress the barbarians who make trouble in the future?"
"We are also very chaotic in Shandong, and there are often Japanese raids, if my father doesn't want his son to be killed, just leave his son's guards......
Lao Zhu knew that there would be resistance to this matter, but he never expected that the resistance would be so big, and he didn't have a son who supported him!
Just when Lao Zhu was at a loss, a strange voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Father, aren't there still several princes in the palace who have not yet been vassals, why don't you give these people to them?"
As soon as Zhu Huan said this, he won the support of all the vassal kings.
"Father, the fifth brother is right, instead of tossing us, you should directly distribute the people to the royal brothers!"
"Our guards have followed us for many years, and they have already started a family in a fiefdom, and they have wives and children. If you leave them in the capital now, won't you separate them from their flesh?"
Zhu Gui and the others looked at Zhu Hu with fiery eyes.
"Fifth brother, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, if you don't want those wounded soldiers, don't push it to us!"
"We are young and don't know anything about military affairs, and we haven't established ourselves in the fiefdom yet."
"Father, you can't bear to look at your son, and take the ministers, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled to the fiefdom to suffer, woo woo woo woo ......
After Zhu Gui said this, he immediately led a group of princes to kneel in the middle of the main hall and cried to his father.
Lao Zhu heard the cries of the emperors, and his distressed heart was about to break.
"Princes, please get up!"
"Father will consider this matter carefully, and will never let you put your lives at risk!"
When Zhu Gui and the others saw their father say this, they got up from the ground crying, and returned to their seats to continue crying.
Lao Zhu watched the princes below crying and crying, and suddenly fell into a dilemma. For him, it can be said that the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and it is not good for anyone to suffer.
However, these veterans of a hundred battles must not be arranged, otherwise it will not only chill the hearts of the Ming soldiers, but also damage the majesty of their own emperor.
Just when Lao Zhu was at a loss, he suddenly saw Lan Yu drill out again.
Lao Zhu was not angry when he saw this guy, and thought that if he hadn't caused trouble for himself, he wouldn't have a headache for this matter.
"Sappy, what do you want to say!"
Lan Yu smiled when he heard this.
"Ascendant, the grass people have an idea, not only without compromising the strength of the vassal kings, but also to place these soldiers for the imperial court!"
"Oh?"
Lao Zhu was immediately interested when he heard this.
"Tell me, what do you have to do?"
"Ascendant, isn't the King of Anhui still a vassal yet, why don't you give all these 30,000 people to the King of Anhui, and let them follow the King of Anhui to Fengyang Mansion to guard the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty?"
The so-called King of Anhui is Zhu Yunwen's title, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to establish Zhu Yunxi as the emperor's grandson, so he gave Zhu Yunwen the title of King of Anhui, and the fief Fengyang Mansion can be regarded as preferential treatment for the eldest grandson.
As soon as Lan Yu's words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look sideways.
Because the crime of the crown princess Lu involved the royal secret, Lao Zhu never announced the details of Lu's death to the world.
Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Lu's death was very unjust.
was first destroyed by Chang Sheng, and then His Majesty the Emperor directly executed the Lu family in order not to embarrass the eldest grandson.
Now Lan Yu made this suggestion, which made everyone feel that Lan Yu was not kind, and even a little too bullying.
Zhu Yunwen is already miserable enough, he died of his father and mother in less than a year, and he also lost the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson.
Now Lan Yu still wants to throw his disabled subordinates during the Northern Expedition to Zhu Yunwen, and let Zhu Yunwen provide for those people, this is too much, right?
Zhu Yunwen also exploded directly when he heard Lan Yu's words, thinking that he was already low-key enough, why did Lan Yu still stare at him?
Just when Zhu Yunwen wanted to stand up and oppose it, a person with a strong sense of justice took the lead in standing up.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate!"
"What an important place is the ancestral mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, how can some old, weak, sick and disabled people be allowed to garrison?"
"This is disrespect to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also disrespectful to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Lao Zhu also felt that Lan Yu's proposal was a bit excessive, Zhu Yunwen's child was still good, he had guarded the tomb of his father for so long, and he had never heard him complain about being tired, and he was a rare filial good child.
If this child is given 30,000 wounded soldiers, won't it chill the child's heart?
When Lao Zhu thought of this, when he looked at Lan Yu again, his eyes were not so kind.
Lan Yu's uncle is really not in vain, and he really protects his nephew and grandson everywhere......
