Chapter 106 Relief

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, spring.

It was not easy for the prince to leave Nanjing.

Especially to be away for a long time.

Before leaving, the prince made a lot of arrangements. The prince's administrative affairs were entrusted to others. That's when I took my leave.

Feng Sheng naturally went north with the crown prince.

When they arrived in Beiping, it was already the season of spring.

When the prince arrived in Beiping, he saw a person who was extremely complicated in his heart. Not someone else. It's King Yan.

King Yan didn't know that his prince brother had been desperate and struggling in his heart in the past few years. Still as in the past, when he saw the prince, he greeted him and saluted with joy, and said; "Brother Prince. Since I heard that the eldest brother came to Beiping, the younger brother was very happy, and he had already ordered Miaojin to prepare everything and wait for the prince to come. ”

The rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When the emperor and crown prince traveled, they were not allowed to stay in private houses. No palace shall be built. You can only live in the government and the royal palace of the clan.

As I said before, the Yanwang Mansion has grand specifications, and it is the old palace of the Yuan Dynasty at all. It is most suitable for the prince to live in the past.

The prince's eyes were slightly gloomy under the sun, but ordinary people couldn't see it. The prince said lightly: "Okay." ”

All the way, the group settled down and rested. It's not too late to get down to business.

And the prince naturally went to the banquet in the palace of King Yan. It's a family feast.

King Yan happily called his son over and asked him to meet the prince.

The first, the eldest. It's a fat man. Now he can only say that he is a little fat.

The little fat man saluted respectfully and said, "Zhu Gaochi pays a visit to the prince's uncle." ”

The prince was in a trance for a while. He saw in a trance that this child's life, from sitting in the rear, to supervising the country in Nanjing, to ascending the throne less than a year ago, died young, and the temple name was benevolence.

Not bad, either.

It's just that all of this is based on the fact that his children and grandchildren are scattered, and they don't know life and death.

"Good boy." How many thoughts the prince had in his heart were not revealed at the moment.

"Zhu Gaoxu visited the prince's uncle. Uncle, don't you give a greeting gift? The second child said.

Although this little child is young, he has grown up very strong, and even looks tougher than his brother, but there is a bit of unruliness in his eyebrows. It's not liked.

The crown prince knew that this was the king of Han who was burned to death by his nephew. It's a brave general. The prince said, "Yes, I forgot about it. The prince thought about it, touched the things on his body, took a jade pendant, gave it to Zhu Gaochi, and took out a dagger and gave it to Zhu Gaochu. There weren't many things he carried, so he naturally didn't have them, and then asked the attendants around him to take a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for the third child, but Zhu Gaosui didn't mention it.

After seeing the ceremony, King Yan asked his sons to go down. The two brothers drank alone. Naturally, it's time to get down to business.

King Yan said: "Big brother, are you coming to the Northern Expedition this time?" ”

The prince nodded and said, "Not bad." That's exactly what I'm here for. "The prince knows that this matter cannot be hidden. He also wanted to test what King Yan thought. Said: "What? Do you have an idea? ”

Speaking of this, King Yan was a little excited and said, "Big brother, I'm so happy that you're here." You don't know, those old guys never took me seriously. The last time I fought Liaodong, I didn't know how many times I asked to fight. Not once did I go to war. It seems like I'm just going to play on the grassland. It's not a thing. ”

The prince coughed.

It's a knee-jerk cough.

The prince educated his younger siblings from an early age. When I meet my younger siblings who talk and do things inappropriately, they will do this.

It's also a reminder.

When King Yan heard this, he immediately laughed. said, "I was wrong. ”

For a moment, the prince seemed to see the little child who followed his ass more than ten years ago. He subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

King Yan said, "I shouldn't say they're old things? ”

King Yan's words can be regarded as giving the prince room to play, and the prince said: "You know, you still talk nonsense." You are not a child, these uncles and uncles are the pillars of the court. Watching you grow up from a young age. How can you talk like that. Spread the word. I won't say that you are like this, I will only say that my father has no tutor. ”

King Yan led the troops to fight in the border fortress, and he could get along with the soldiers below, and some vulgar words were naturally learned quickly. I didn't dare to talk about him before. Now that I see the prince, I can only bow my head and be trained.

Seeing King Yan like this, the prince suddenly sighed and said, "That's it, you have three children." Think for yourself. I won't talk about you. It's just the fourth, do you really want to fight? ”

King Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "Seeing the eldest brother of the crown prince this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must make up our minds about the feudal domain. King Yan said loudly: "I think, I have been thinking, I have always been thinking." As the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, I should expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty. I've already chosen. I want to be the king outside the Saiwai, I am outside the Saiwai for one day, there will be no Hu people going south for a day, I am outside the Saiwai for one day, and the Ming Dynasty will have a peaceful world. ”

The prince was shocked in his heart.

The image of King Yan in his heart blurred and became clear.

The reason for the ambiguity is that the prince overlapped the Yongle Emperor in history with the fourth brother in reality. Now, after seeing King Yan, I found out that King Yan was still the fourth brother, not the Emperor Yongle.

The prince said: "It's bitter cold outside, or I'll change you to another place." ”

King Yan said, "No. Eldest brother, there is a person under my command, named Lian Zining, who is a disciple of He Xi, he is very methodical, and has been studying how to settle in Mobei. I can say that now no one in the world knows better how to settle in Mobei. In the future, I will be able to turn Hu into a man in Mobei, and my life will not be in vain. At that time, the eldest brother will be in Nanjing, just wait for the younger brother to send Mobei specialties. ”

The soft side of the prince's heart suddenly emerged.

He secretly said in his heart: "Maybe what he thinks about now is just the Northern Expedition to Mobei." Meritorious service, no, later he became the emperor, which is also where his obsession lies. ”

Whether it is the current Fourth Prince Zhu Di or the future Yongle Emperor, the achievements of his life are in Mobei.

Regardless of whether Zhu Di at the time of the historical martyrdom was really forced, or had a premeditated plan, but Zhu Di at this time really had no idea about the throne. Second, there is also the reason for Hexi.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Xi is the prime minister of His Majesty to cultivate the next generation of the Ming Dynasty. It is used to assist the crown prince. He is also the prince's brother-in-law. The prince sent his son to He Xi, can the relationship be bad?

Maybe many people in the south are not familiar with He Xi, but the generals in the north are already very familiar with He Xi. No matter what He Xi did in ordnance, his ability to organize logistics, or even his ability to lead troops into battle. In the next year or two, Liaodong, which was originally a general leftover, has become an important town in the north.

This ability greatly enhanced the weight of the crown prince.

When some things are unimaginably difficult to do, many people give up.

Zhu Di is also like this.

And Zhu Di sees the prospects for the future, which is also very good.

After a year or two of investigation, he is actually acceptable to Mobei. Of course, the natural conditions of Mobei are average, not as good as Zhu Di said. But Mobei soldiers and horses are what Zhu Di wants.

The Mongols are the best source of soldiers. Although Mobei has a large area and several provinces in the Central Plains, its population is only one county in the Central Plains. But everybody is a soldier. At least a hundred thousand cavalry can be pulled.

With more than 100,000 cavalry, if you want to rebel, you naturally can't do it. But doing something else doesn't have to be impossible.

The so-called eldest son of the Mongols did not have many men and horses in the west. And he marched his army westward, maybe he could still get the support of the imperial court. With the support of the imperial court, he was determined to do better than the Mongols.

The big husband is between heaven and earth, thousands of troops and horses, destroying ten countries and hundreds of cities, what does it matter if he is not the emperor?

Moreover, he just wants to be the emperor, and he has to see if it's impossible.

So, in order to reach this grand goal. Today, Zhu Di wholeheartedly does the work of his eldest brother and makes his eldest brother promise him. He even had the idea of wanting to be winged, and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Sorry, there are only two shifts today.

Full attendance is useful. I always want to be lazy when I don't have full attendance. Fortunately, tomorrow is a new January. Full attendance will be. There will be four watches."
