Chapter 179: Taizu's Legacy

After all, for Fu Youde, even if he is promoted to Sheng Yong. But Sheng Yong is not surnamed Fu after all. It was fine while he was there, and when he died. How can it be a heart with the surname Fu?

Not to mention the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, it is difficult to hold on to himself.

Just when the father and daughter were crying bitterly. Suddenly, there was a message outside, "Your Majesty has arrived."

Fu Youde and Empress Fu stood up together and saluted without saying anything.

Before Zhu Yunwen entered the door, his face was still expressionless, but as soon as he entered the palace, he smiled with a smile on his face, and when he walked, he was graceful and luxurious, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhu Yunwen stepped forward a few steps and helped Queen Fu up. He said, "You're all heavy-weighted people. Why do you still salute like this? What should I do if I startle my child?"

After placing Empress Fu in place, he helped Fu Youde up and said, "Father-in-law, you're neglecting."

Fu Youde said, "Your Majesty is serious, I didn't expect the queen to have a body. Why don't you write to me?"

Zhu Yunwen said: "The child is still young. At this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it. In another month or two, it will naturally be announced to the world."

Queen Fu, the child, is also very important to Zhu Yunwen.

After all, it was important for the emperor to have a successor.

Especially at this time when the north and the south are fighting, Zhu Yunwen has a successor, and he can stabilize people's hearts.

And the child Queen Fu is also important to Fu Youde. After all, Zhu Yunwen is only the son-in-law of the Fu family, and there is no blood of the Fu family on his body. And the prince born to Empress Fu has the blood of the Fu family in his body.

Not to mention, the prince born to Empress Fu is Zhu Yunwen's eldest son, that is, the future prince.

Fu Youde said, "Queen, why didn't you tell me about this. In the future, the most important thing is to take care of your health."

Empress Fu immediately said, "My daughter knows." She's also very knowledgeable. knew that Fu Youde's request to see the emperor was rejected this time. At this moment the emperor came. Naturally, the father and the emperor had something to talk about.

immediately went out and said that it was to buy wine and food, but in fact, the two of them were left to talk.

After all, there are so many queens. How can it be the queen's turn to buy wine and food in person.

This is also the wisdom of the queen, she is of course the daughter of the Fu family, but also the queen of the Zhu family, when these two positions contradict, it is difficult for her to do it. Her last resort is not to participate in it, and only at the last moment can she make a move, maybe she can keep the bloodline of the Fu family.

Of course, she hopes to create some opportunities for both sides to let go of their previous suspicions.

The happy cooperation between the Fu family and the royal family is the greatest luck of Empress Fu, and it is also the greatest guarantee for her son to ascend the throne.

Empress Fu, who left the main hall of Kunning Palace, sighed leisurely.

In the Kunning Palace.

Fu Youde couldn't hold his breath anymore. said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is already in his last years, and he should have been in his old age, but my son died in battle, and he has a deep hatred with the northern thief. Please also ask Your Majesty to give the old minister another chance. so that I can continue to command the army, carry out military reforms, and put down the rebellion in the north for Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen listened to Fu Youde's words, and his first feeling was how Fu Youde knew that he wanted to change people.

Although Zhu Yunwen told Ding Xian his thoughts. But it was only said to Ding Xian. Ding Xian has a very strict mouth. Now it's a stormy city outside. However, the impeachment of Fu Youde has just begun, although some people say that Fu Youde will be replaced. But it's not mainstream.

Then Fu Youde said so. There are two possibilities.

One possibility is that Fu Youde guessed it.

Or Fu Youde's staff guessed Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

Another possibility is what others told Fu Youde.

No matter which possibility it was, Zhu Yunwen felt a little annoyed.

If the first one is the case, it means that his mind is transparent in front of these old ministers. This hurt Zhu Yunwen's self-esteem, if it is the second type, that is, someone told Fu Youde.

Naturally not

Ding Xian, that's only Xu Da.

Xu Da did this, obviously not putting the emperor in his heart, because of such a thing, Xu Da should naturally keep it secret.

Fu Youde didn't feel that as soon as he opened his mouth, he leaked his bottom.

Zhu Yunwen's countless thoughts turned, and he said: "I am still thinking about this matter, after all, the defeat of Hejian, this matter has hurt the country, lost several places, and plunged Shandong and Henan into war. It's normal for people to have opinions up and down, and that's normal. It's just that how to deal with the situation, I will wait for your father-in-law to come back before I do it. Why give it another chance? Where do you start with that?"

Fu Youde was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in his heart, "Could it be that Xu Da lied to me?"

This instantaneous change was taken into Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and he was sure that someone told Fu Youde, and it was most likely Xu Da who told him. There is no other thing if Fu Youde guessed it himself. Naturally, he understood the reason, and even if a counselor told him, he would explain the cause and effect.

In this case, how can you be suspicious by a rhetorical question.

Well, there is only one possibility, someone told him a result.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen is not sure, he is ready to review all the people in the palace who have access to relevant information afterwards. Let's see if anyone dares to divulge the forbidden Chinese.

At this moment, Fu Youde also came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to make meritorious contributions. I beg your Majesty's permission." While speaking, he bowed to the shrine.

Zhu Yunwen immediately hugged Fu Youde and said, "Father-in-law, let's talk about it. I have looked at and thought about the military reform you proposed, and I think that it is really too correct. There are just a few points, I think about it, I always can't make up my mind, and I ask my father-in-law to solve my doubts."

Fu Youde immediately said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Back then, when the emperor's grandfather founded the country, he didn't use any new tactics, and now it is not enough to win without using this tactics. And how did this new tactic come about?"

Fu Youde said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything."

Fu Youde immediately gushed out his various rules for the new tactics. Of course, because Fu Youde is studying the reforms carried out by the Northern Army, in many cases, he cannot carry out the program and be consistent, so it seems very cumbersome.

He Xi and Ye Shen have two major principles in military reform, the first is to penetrate mathematics into every corner of the army. How much training, down to how far to run each day, how many movements to do, breaking down the firecracker shooting, down to twenty-three movements, or even less, and so on.

The second is that everything is built on the basis of firepower.

Everything else is derived and secondary.

And Fu Youde couldn't learn these essences, he just translated the things that the Northern Army thought were easy to use and could use one-to-one, and then, on this basis, combined with his own experience, to make certain improvements.

Some of the improvements are good. These improvements violated He Xi's principle and instead increased combat effectiveness. After all, Fu Youde's experience in fighting wars for so many years was not given in vain.

Moreover, although firepower is important, the current battlefield environment cannot achieve the point where firepower determines everything.

But more improvements, more or less with some deformations.

However, for Zhu Yunwen, these are actually not important.

Because although Zhu Yunwen has worked hard to study these. But it's still confusing. Because, there are some things that can be learned well without impromptu learning.

However, Zhu Yunwen's attention is not in some details. Instead, he grasped a question and asked, "Father-in-law, you said that when you carried out this reform, in fact, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, you began to prepare?"

Fu Youde said, "Exactly. However, it was just the beginning, and the selection of the right officers."

Fu Youde turned He Xi's old bottom almost over. What he said is also true.

This fact is very important to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Father-in-law, do you think that the imperial grandfather didn't know about such a thing back then?"

Fu Youde was stunned for a moment, he pondered for a moment and said, "You shouldn't know."

Fu Youde worked under Zhu Yuanzhang

, I know Zhu Yuanzhang very well. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's control of military power was much stronger than Zhu Yunwen's. There was no nod from Zhu Yuanzhang. It is impossible for Zhu Hexi to do something else in the army.

Zhu Yunwen said: "In this way, the Northern Army is left behind by Emperor Taizu."
