Of course Zhu Gaochu is not so godly, he is here to try his luck, if he can find Zhu Di, of course, it is good, if he can't find it, he will stay for a month at most and be ready to leave.

But he has always been lucky, otherwise he wouldn't be the emperor, and sure enough, he bumped into him.

The main purpose of his coming out this time is to make a plan for the next ten years for Daming, and see how it is implemented below.

In the past dynasties of China, the emperor stayed in the capital and did not come out, and he did not know all kinds of yin and yang below, even in later generations, there were still acts of deception and concealment, and the more remote and backward the place, the more so.

He came all the way from Jeju and Dayuan, and so far he has seen that he is quite satisfied, and the local implementation of the imperial court policy is generally quite good.

He is most concerned about Malacca, Temasek, and the Old Port.

This side was originally not the land of the Ming Dynasty, but after it was occupied, the imperial court also repeatedly used troops, and it took several years before and after to completely conquer these different kingdoms.

But the courtiers obviously didn't realize that this was any good, and they didn't like Zhu Gaochu's constant use of troops and plundering here, even if Zhu Gaochu plundered a lot of wealth.

So he must come here, otherwise after him, there will be an emperor like Zhu Zhanji, and then give up here.

Now that he has obtained Zhu Di's coordinates, Zhu Gaoxu is even more satisfied, and in this way, it will be easier to stabilize Tai O and Nanyang.

A few days later, Zhu Gaoxu led 3,000 soldiers and horses to join Xu Shishi, and the two armies totaled 4,000 and continued to Yancheng.

——

Zhu Gaochi came to a simple courtyard, and there was a young man practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi, the man quickly stopped: "Meet the prince." ”

The man is Xu Zhen, Xu Li's son.

After Zhu Gaochi arrived in Tai O, he got closer to Xu Zhen, because Zhu Di initially asked Xu Zhen to follow the son.

The two did a lot of things together, including minting copper coins, and Xu Zhen also helped.

Zhu Gaochi was followed by the eunuch Yuan Zhong, and Xu Zhen warmly invited him to sit in the room.

"Just sit outside, it's not as hot as Beiping." Zhu Gaochi didn't wear much clothes, because it was summer when they came, and if Zhu Gaochu hadn't left a batch of autumn and winter clothes for them, they wouldn't even have enough clothes.

But right now, it's about to go wrong.

Xu Zhen looked at the clothes on Zhu Gaochi's body, there were many places to tinker, it was hard to imagine that this was the former prince.

But to be honest, after the prince lost weight, he was a bit like Emperor Zhu Gaoxu.

"If this continues, I will run out of clothes." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "Let your father persuade my father." ”

They brought a batch of clothes four years ago, but in four years, they could not weave clothes themselves, and many of them wore and mended their clothes, and if they continued like this, they would soon be like savages.

Xu Zhen was stunned, but he didn't expect the prince to get straight to the point.

"How to persuade?" He immediately asked rhetorically.

"Move to the beach and get in touch with Zhu Gaoxu's people to get supplies." Zhu Gaochi said: "We are too far away from the beach now. ”

"The king didn't listen at all." Xu Zhen sighed: "My father and Tang Rong have persuaded many times. ”

Zhu Di is around, and now Tang Rong and Xu Li will support moving to the seaside, contacting the Ming court, and getting supplies.

"It's all to blame Tan Qing, Liu Rong, Xue Lu, Zhang Wu and others." Zhu Gaochi suddenly lowered his voice a lot, and at the same time looked at the courtyard door.

Yuan Zhongzheng was standing at the door, looking out loyally.

"My father is surrounded by these stupid people, and he still wants to fight back to Daming." Zhu Gaochi said: "Why didn't Gao Xu kill them in the first place? ”

Hum, Xu Zhen buzzed in his head, he didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to suddenly come to the door to say these things, he couldn't believe it.

But think about it carefully, King Yan gave birth to a younger son last year, and then took care of his youngest son wholeheartedly, I am afraid that the successor has given up on the son.

Shizi didn't care before, but he didn't expect it to suddenly erupt.

This is because, a few days ago, they found Zhu Gaoxu's gold mine and the Ming army?

Xu Zhen guessed what the change in the son of the world was.

The reason why the son of the world was silent before was because of despair.

Now he has found Zhu Gaoxu's people, but King Yan doesn't want to contact them yet, so he is even more desperate.

In the past, Tan Qing and these people all supported the prince and were also the son's confidants, but now they really never expected it.

Xu Zhen glared at Zhu Gaochi and didn't dare to say anything, because he wasn't sure whether the prince was telling the truth or coming to test.

Zhu Gaochi also glared at him, and the two looked at each other.

There was suddenly a bit of silence in the yard.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside, as if someone was knocking on the door, the sound was three long and two short, very rhythmic.

Xu Zhen's face changed greatly, and before he could react, Yuan Zhong, who was standing by the door, opened the door directly.

Yuan Zhong thought that someone from the Xu family had returned.

The gate opened, and a man rushed in outside, and the man saw Zhu Gaochi and Xu Zhen sitting in the courtyard with an embarrassed expression.

He tried to turn around and leave, but he didn't dare to go.

"Close the door." Zhu Gaochi said dissatisfied.

Yuan Zhong hurried, slammed, and closed the door again.

The man stiffened his head and stepped forward and said, "Meet the prince, meet the general." ”

"Where did Xu Yong go? So dirty? Zhu Gaochi suddenly looked at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong is Xu Zhen's confidant and brother.

Of course, Zhu Gaochi knew that Xu Yong followed Xu Zhen every day in the past, but today he is strange that he is not at Xu Zhen's house, it turns out?

He couldn't help but look solemn and looked at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong's face was a little red, his body was dirty and messy, there was a lot of dust and even mud on his clothes, his hair was messy, and his face was even dirtier.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Zhen suspiciously: "Didn't you just come back?" ”

Before, Xu Zhen took Xu Yong and Zhu Di to set off together, wanting to sneak attack Zhu Gaoxu's gold mine.

"I will go to the fields to see that the wheat is growing well this year." Xu Yong said with a smile.

"Your boots don't look like they've been to the fields?" Zhu Gaochi said lightly.

"Brush" Xu Yong's face turned even redder, and his expression was slightly frightened.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam: "You went to see Gao Xu's people?" ”

"Hiss" Xu Yong gasped and pressed one hand to the back of his waist.

"Stop." Xu Zhen hurriedly shouted.

Xu Yong had already flipped his palm and took a dagger in his hand, Yuan Zhong was frightened, and Zhu Gaochi was also startled.

"Well done." Zhu Gaochi said excitedly: "This should be the case. ”

Of course, Xu Yong didn't believe him, just stared at him.

Xu Zhen knew that the matter was revealed, and hurriedly got up: "What the prince said just now is true?" ”

"I'm still young, I don't want to die so early." Zhu Gao said in a deep voice: "If this continues, everyone will have no clothes, will they be the same as the local people in the future?" Sooner or later, there will be turmoil. ”

"That's what the Admiral thinks, too." Xu Zhen said in a deep voice: "At present, the world still has prestige, and it can stabilize people's hearts for the time being, but if it goes on like this, it will not be able to get supplies, and sooner or later it will be chaotic." ”

The two sides finally tried to meet each other, it turned out that we were our own people? Zhu Gaochi and Xu Zhen looked at each other, smiled at each other, and sat down at the same time.

"Shizi Mingjian, if this continues, everyone will not be happy, but most people have not reflected." Xu Zhen whispered.

"When did you descend to the high heat?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked.

Xu Zhen smiled awkwardly and looked at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "The last will be Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Jinyi Wei Commander Mao Xin Mao Command Envoy Special Dispatch." ”

Special mother, Zhu Gaochi secretly scolded, that is, before leaving the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family had already taken refuge in Zhu Gaoxu?

"Does your dad know?" Zhu Gaochi asked Xu Li angrily.

"Before my father left Beijing, he was recruited by His Majesty, and after thinking about it again, he decided to come over-" Be an undercover agent.

"Spying on our father and son?" Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said, Gao Xu will always be so vicious? Anything you can't think of, how many people around you are Gao Xu? He couldn't help but look up at his henchman Yuan Zhong.

Yuan Zhongzheng looked at this side with a frightened expression.

Yuan Zhong was far away from this side, and he didn't know what they were talking about, but his expression didn't seem good.

Zhu Gaochi thought that Yuan Zhong was a eunuch, and he should not be bought.

Wait, he slowly remembered that when Beiping City was broken, he didn't seem to see Yuan Zhong for two days?

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that Xu Li's family had already demoted Zhu Gaochu, and they came to make a bedroom and monitor them.

"Your Majesty's meaning." Xu Zhen said at this time: "If the king is at ease in Tai O, His Majesty intends to give Tai O to the king and the prince to manage." ”

"But the king did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted on staying away from the sea and avoiding the contact of the imperial court."

"This already has the intention to fight against the imperial court, let him develop in the future, doesn't he want to fight back to the Ming Dynasty? Another civil war? ”

Zhu Gaochi listened with an unchanged face, and had mixed feelings in his heart: "Father is still thinking about it, because there is no supply, it is indeed difficult to operate." ”

They have mines and grain, but there is a shortage of daily necessities, and the things they eat now have no taste, and the salt is made to a salt pan hundreds of miles away by the sea, and some people are stationed there, and then transported after it is ready.

In this way, Zhang Wu and Xue Lu also proposed to retreat further east, and go thousands of miles deeper, so that there would be no salt to eat in the future.

"It's because someone supports him that he thinks cranky." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes: "If we kill Tan Qing and the others, my father will definitely have to compromise." ”

Hey, Xu Zhen didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to be so ruthless.

Is this an attempt to seize power?

"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy for -—— to handle—" Xu Zhen stammered.

Because most of the people in the army were Tan Qing, Xue Lu and Zhang Wu, as well as King Yan's people, Xu Li originally had few subordinates.

After taking refuge in Zhu Gaoxu in Beiping, some of his henchmen and subordinates were left in Daming and properly arranged.

"Trick them and catch them all." Xu Yong said at this time: "Then force the palace Zhu Di, give way to the prince, and the prince will lead us to serve the court and Your Majesty." ”

Xu Zhen's face rose, this is going to fail, and the whole family may be finished.

He had already informed Xu Shi that the imperial court would soon be able to find this place, so why rush for a while?

So he said: "Xu Yong, did you pass the news to that Xu Qianhu?" ”

"It's passed, they just sent someone to confirm it."

"That's it, the court will soon know where we are hiding, and it won't be long before a large army approaches."

Zhu Gaochi said: "It will only be a few months before the news reaches the old port, and then it reaches Jingshi and then comes back, it will be a year later." ”

"I'm afraid it will be early in the morning."

Xu Zhen couldn't help it, and thought about it: "If you can get Tang Rong's support, it may be better." ”

"Are you sure you're going to convince him?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

Xu Zhen said: "It may be useless for the last general to come forward, but the son of the world is very likely to succeed." ”

Zhu Gaochi's face also turned red: "I brought him here, not for myself, but for our tens of thousands of brothers and sisters, so that we can live well." ”

"The last general will understand, the son of the world is benevolent." Xu Zhen hurriedly said.
