All of a sudden, there was a crowd of people in front of the Daiwang Mansion, this time it was not the salt dealers, not the people, but the officials, squires and merchants in the Datong Mansion who were the first to receive the news.

They all came to congratulate the king, regardless of the little prince's reputation in Nanjing, but now he did repel the Mongols, and also killed more than a thousand horsemen (misinformation), protecting the safety of Datong Mansion.

This is a good news that has not been achieved for several years, and it also makes them, the locals of Datong Province, feel that their faces are bright.

Of course, more importantly, their safety is also guaranteed.

However, this time Zhu Gui did not rush out to meet the guests.

He asked the king's steward to set up a big tent in the open space in front of the king's palace, and then set up a flowing water banquet to feast the people of the city.

As for those characters with heads and faces, they were arranged in the city lord's mansion, which can be regarded as giving these people some face.

And Zhu Gui himself was mostly in the study, thinking hard about how to write a recital.

This victory against the Mongols was crucial, and he was thinking about how to write it in order to get the right to form a guard.

However, considering that the previous two incidents may have made the old man disgusted with him, he can't open his mouth yet.

If you don't steal chickens, you will be spoiled.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gui still suppressed the idea of wanting to invite credit.

It's not that he wants to retreat, but to give all the credit to Xu Yingxu this time.

On the one hand, the purpose of this is to make Zhu Yuanzhang have a better opinion of him, anyway, even if he directly invites credit, it will only make Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he has little role in this matter.

On the other hand, he also wants to befriend his father-in-law, that is, Xu Zuhui, the Duke of Xu Guo.

In this way, even if he goes too far in other things in the future, his father-in-law will say a few good words for him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the right to form a personal guard, it is better to wait for a year to pay the tax before raising it.

Anyway, after this battle, the Mongols suffered a setback, and there should be no action in the short term.

When Zhu Gui was pondering the issue of meditation, Xu Yingxu and Zhang Mao, the county guard of Datong Prefecture, were also thinking about this issue.

Xu Yingxu learned more about the cause and effect of this incident from Zhu Gui, and after he wrote down the melody, he wrote a letter about the incident in its original form and planned to give it to his father.

He wanted Xu Guogong's father to change his attitude towards Zhu Gui, so that he could have some explanation for his sister.

Zhang Mao is different.

How did he think he could take some credit for this?

If General Chen, the original commander of the guard, was still here, then he would definitely add that he commanded in an orderly manner and made proper arrangements.

But in this battle, one is the acting king, and the other is the second son of Xu Guogong, and he can't afford to offend one.

So in the end, I can only add a sentence of 'full cooperation' to myself, hoping that the above can give him a hard work.

In this way, the three letters arrived in the hands of the crown prince Zhu Biao at almost the same time a week later.

Zhu Biao had already gotten some vague news from Jinyiwei.

After seeing the folds, I was also very surprised.

Especially Zhu Gui's twists and turns, he didn't even ask for credit for himself in the twists and turns.

In Zhu Biao's opinion, his imperial brother has indeed grown up during this time, and it is not in vain that he has protected him.

This time, he directly sent the three letters to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, there is a great victory in Datong Mansion, and the thirteenth emperor brother killed more than 300 cavalry who attacked Datong Mansion."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It can't be a rumor, right? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally lying on the chair, immediately got up and took the fold and looked at it.

"Erchen has already verified with Jinyiwei, and there is no discrepancy in the process, but it is just ......"

Zhu Biao had a slight smile on his face.

"But what? Could it be that Zhu Gui's kid brought up something ridiculous again? I think he just got carried away, and he didn't settle accounts with him about the salt tax, so he ...... Well? How did this kid turn sexual? Didn't even invite credit? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw Zhu Gui's twists and turns, and his face couldn't stop being surprised.

"This is what Erchen wants to say, it seems that although the Thirteen Emperor Brothers have some whimsical ideas, they have grown up after this period of training."

Zhu Biao said.

"Hmph, I don't think that kid can write such a thing, someone must have given him the idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, his eyes lit up and said, "It must be Xu Zuhui, or his daughter, what's her name?" ”

"Xu Miaoqing."

Zhu Biao said.

"Yes, it has to be her, but that's fine, someone can finally take care of that bastard boy."

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face.

"Father, this time the emperor has made such a great feat, I think the matter of salt tax can be put aside?"

Zhu Biao took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's happiness and began to intercede for Zhu Gui again.

His brother is very righteous when he does this.

But Zhu Yuanzhang threw the fold on the table and said: "One thing is one thing, he dares to make a package ticket, and the tax revenue will be increased by half next year, so he will do it, as for this incident, he himself said that it was Xu Yingxu's credit, and my descendants of the Zhu family, what is it to kill a few Mongolians?" ”

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang still got up and walked out: "Today's weather is good, prince, accompany me to the imperial garden." ”

Zhu Biao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed.

The news of Datongfu's victory soon spread in Nanjing, and many people were incredulous.

The same is true for Xu Zuhui, the Duke of Xu, if he hadn't received a handwritten letter from his son Xu Yingxu, it would be hard to believe that the fourteen-year-old acting king could be so decisive in this matter.

He handed the letter to the anxious lady on the side and said, "It seems that this generation of kings is good at hiding clumsy, and it is worthy of the emperor's blood." ”

After Mrs. Xu read the letter, she let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that my children are fine, but I'm worried about this time, sir, I heard that the acting king did not invite credit this time, but gave all the credit to Yingxu, what do you think?" ”

Xu Zuhui smiled and shook his head: "This is hiding clumsy, the acting king knows that he has a bad impression in front of the emperor, and inviting merit will only make the emperor more dissatisfied, and Yingxu is in Datong Mansion, his position has been promoted, and the help to the acting king is the greatest." ”

"According to you, wouldn't that king have a city?" Mrs. Xu thought about the several meetings she had with the acting king before, and she had the impression that the acting king was very stubborn.

A gleam flashed in Xu Zuhui's eyes, but then he shook his head again.

Obviously, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say them directly.

……

Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Di looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Destroying three hundred Mongolian cavalry was nothing to him, but it was a bit powerful to be able to do so under the conditions of Datong Mansion.

In his opinion, it should be the new firearms in the hands of the acting king to achieve this.

However, the envoy he sent to Datong Mansion had not yet sent any news.
