Chapter 18 A letter from home is worth 10,000 dollars

"Favorite father:

How are you? Did you know? At this moment, how much Erchen wants to snuggle up to you and say to you, "Erchen misses you!" I really miss you! How I wish you could touch Erchen's head with your own hands, and laugh and say, "Silly boy, in fact, I miss you too"!

Father, this is the first time that Erchen has communicated with you in such a way, and it is five thousand miles away, at this time it is at night, the wind outside is howling like a ghost, Erchen can't sleep, and his mind filters the past over and over again, and he misses his father very much. Don't hide it from your father, this is the first time that Erchen thinks of his father's goodness, I always feel that my father is too strict with Erchen, and I also instigated Mr. Li to beat Erchen's hand, and if he doesn't do it right, he will be punished. But at this time, Erchen wanted to be punished by his father a thousand times and hundredfold, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour. Every time I think of this, my son's tears can't help but flow out, and I always feel sorry for my father's expectations for my son. ”

A few teardrops fell on the ink that had not yet dried, and Zhu Di continued:

"Father, Erchen never thought that Saibei would be like this, it's so cold, Erchen has to go and add some firewood to the stove, otherwise Erchen's hands will be frozen and he can't hold the brush. Today, during the day, Erchen saw the cavalry from the south of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, General Mu and General Ning were very brave, staring at the cold wind to repel the cavalry going south, Erchen was very envious, but he was also very depressed. I still remember that Erchen was full of spirit in Fengtian Palace, and he said with high morale that he would not destroy the North Court and vowed not to return to Beijing, and Erchen was particularly depressed. Erchen was shivering on a war horse, but father, do you know that Erchen was wearing a cotton jacket with three layers inside and three layers outside. In such a ghost weather, Erchen was very desperate, and wanted to destroy Beiting's bold words, Erchen was afraid that he would not be able to complete it for the rest of his life, and then he would not be able to return to Beijing for the rest of his life and shouted cordially, "Father, your health is good, Beiyuan Erchen is gone." ’”

"The above is the letter of Ah Di to his father, as a son of man, several times, the son wants to write 'the northwest is really hard, the son wants to go home', but every time the pen is put into his mind, the son feels ashamed, the father and the emperor work all night for the country, if the son can not share the worries for the father, in vain. The father is the king, the son is the minister, and now the minister is defending the country and defending the border in Saibei, that is, Saibei is sprinkling water into ice, freezing and cracking the bones of the ministers, and the ministers will guard Lanxian County and never give in a step. ”

The following is the words of the king of Lancheng as a courtier to his father His Majesty, when the son first arrived in Saibei, he encountered a war, and after learning about the enemy's situation, he thought hard for a long time and looked for a way to fight the border. There is a Western Domain in the west of Hexi, and there are Yuan thieves in the north, but these two are not to be feared, and in front of my Ming soldiers, I dare not raise troops to attack. However, the Northern Yuan Dynasty deprived the fire and the red part, repeatedly violated the border but could not hurt its roots and feet, cut off its limbs, which really made it difficult for the sons and daughters to sleep and eat. The son-in-law thought hard about it, so the plan was related to my royal face, so the son-in-law could only report to his father in person and ask his father to make a decision.

The princess of the leader of the Red Wood Fungus is the sister of the concubine, Lu Ning, the aunt of the son, and she has half of the jade pendant that can be recognized. Please allow your father to allow Erchen to secretly go to the Dehuo Chibu to lobby Aunt Lu, after all, for my Han blood, presumably Aunt Lu must be forced to commit to the Yuan Court in desperation, if Erchen can persuade Aunt Lu, the internal and external corresponding, in one fell swoop, then from now on, Hexi will be in the hands of my Ming. Erchen according to the west of the river to defend, cut off the north-south connection of the Northern Yuan, enter the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Lin, retreat can be held in the old city of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the destruction of the Northern Yuan will be just around the corner. ”

"My father is well, and my sons are respectful."

"On the 17th day of December in the ninth year of Hongwu, night!"

Zhu Di stuffed the letter into the envelope, and then sealed it with fire paint and stuffed it into the bamboo tube, but it was still freezing outside, but Zhu Di rushed out of the room with a light pajamas.

Ten trembling Zhu Di stood at the door and roared, "Guo Ying, Guo Ying." ”

The silent night was disturbed by Zhu Di's voice, and the nearby shepherd dogs barked wildly on the spot, one or two, dozens, nearly a hundred, as if the shepherd dogs in the entire Lan County were roaring together.

One after the other, there was no break.

Woke up a Lan County light.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you!"

The guards who were the first to react in the courtyard rushed to Zhu Di's door with torches as soon as possible, and listened to Zhu Di's orders.

Then, Guo Ying wore a mattress jacket and rushed into the courtyard over the wall with a torch.

What's the matter with a Zhu Di.

"Send this letter to the heavens overnight, eight hundred miles in an expedited, and hand it over to my father." Zhu Di handed over the bamboo tube in his hand.

Guo Ying was stunned for a moment, the obvious torch trembled, and he even took the short and thin sealed bamboo tube in disbelief, and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"Trouble General Guo, there is nothing else to do here in this king, the general should go back and rest." Zhu Di just wanted to deliver a letter, and he didn't mean anything else.

"It is the duty of subordinates to protect the safety of His Highness." Guo Ying shook the sound and began to arrange for someone to send the letter to Yingtian overnight.

Looking at the cavalry with the banner of the King of the Blue City, the eight-hundred-mile rush left, and looked at Zhu Di's room, which had turned off the lights, and Guo Ying went back to sleep.

Other questions are not for him to ask.

However, it is impossible to sleep peacefully at this time.

Once the shepherd dog starts barking, it will not be able to stop for a while.

This made Zhu Di, who was already highly brainy, even more unable to sleep.

All that remains is a mind full of fantasies.

From seeing the letter from his mother, he knew that the matter was big, and he thought about it for a long time, and this was his way to deal with it.

A blatant temptation of Lao Zhu.

In the form of a family letter, he wrote the first letter to Lao Zhu, by the way, he brushed aside his mother and concubine, and saw how Lao Zhu reacted after seeing the content of the family letter.

What was Lao Zhu's purpose in getting him to Saibei.

This is what he wants to know, and he doesn't know how many people know about this matter, so it is better to ask Deng Yu directly to ask Lao Zhu to see how Lao Zhu reacts.

Naturally, you can figure out the specific situation through clues.

And the second is that he is strict with his own attitude.

He is the Nine Emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the King of the Blue City who defended the country.

This is irreversible.

Of course.

The family letter can't be too official like the war report, so the family warmth occupies a lot of space, and the selective conciseness will be called "the plan to pacify the north" to write out, so that Lao Zhu can decide.

"His grandmother's, tomorrow pull out the dogs in Quanlan County to be slaughtered, it's really endless!"

Zhu Di scolded stiffly holding his head on the hot kang head, which has been screaming for half an hour, and has not stopped, purely disturbing the people.

Gradually, I don't know if the barking of the dog stopped, or if Zhu Di couldn't hear it when he fell asleep, and it was dawn as soon as he slept.
