Three days later, Zhu Yunxi once again prepared to leave Yingtianfu, this time not to fight, but to build embankments along the Yellow River for disaster relief.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if he had done it on purpose or forgot, and he didn't say how much silver he wanted to allocate at the court meeting, but just said something to let the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry fully support it.

This sentence was ambiguous, but Zhu Yunxi knew that his imperial grandfather was preparing to gather wool and make himself bleed.

But he doesn't care, it is not in vain to be able to do something practical for the people of the Ming Dynasty, this is Zhu Yunxi's true thoughts.

Wang Jinghong and Jiang Zhen didn't follow him this time, but Luan Yu felt that it was too boring to stay in this palace, so they clamored to follow Zhu Yunxi's side.

In her words, in case Zhu Yunxi meets the woman she likes on the road, she can go to find someone behind the back of the little third master.

This made Zhu Yunxi cry and laugh, and said in his heart, Do you treat Lao Tzu as a flower thief?

Luan Yu giggled, her identity is very special, she is said to be the palace maid of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but she is the freest palace maid, and I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang knows the existence and identity of this woman.

Wang Jinghong has no opinion on this, the disaster relief is only in the territory of Daming, and there should be no problem with Luanyu taking care of Zhu Yunxi.

The day before leaving, Zhu Yunxi went to the military camp outside Yingtianfu, where the two thousand Mongolian iron horsemen he had asked for from Duoyan Sanwei were stationed.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that he didn't care about these people, he still built a military camp thirty miles outside Yingtianfu and specially stationed these 2,000 people here.

"I estimate that it will take another year and a half to go out this time, and you don't all become big fat people who can't walk."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the four commanders in front of him and smiled.

"Little Third Master, don't worry, we will practice every day, but we won't become sheep on the grassland."

Suhe said, patting his thick chest.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but heard Su He say again:

"A lot of people have come here lately and asked to join us, so I'm temporarily placing them in the barracks."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned and said in surprise:

"Who are they, they can't be the homeless people around Ying Tianfu, right?"

The reason why he asked this was because there were many homeless people near Yingtianfu, and these homeless people were not well fed and clothed, and if being a soldier could give them a stable life, they would definitely rush to them.

Sukh shook his head and said:

"They all said they were homeless people, but I could tell at a glance that they were soldiers who had been on the battlefield."

No way? Is it undercover?

...... Zhu Yunxi asked, "How many people?" ”

"There are already hundreds of people one after another."

Sukh replied: "Every time a group of dozens of people come, every few days there will be a wave, but it seems that they are not familiar with each other. ”

That's weird...... Zhu Yunxi didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, although now the supply of this team doesn't need to be borne by himself, but the unknown origin of these people is a bit of a headache.

Because this is a pro-soldier guard deliberately built by Zhu Yunxi, it will do big things in the future, if it is good and bad, or if it is deliberately done by people with ulterior motives, it is a problem to raise tigers.

"Has this matter been reported to the court?"

Zhu Yunxi asked.

Su He nodded again, "As soon as I reported to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War immediately replied and agreed to increase our establishment, and the corresponding money and food were also allocated." ”

This can make Zhu Yunxi confused, and I really don't understand what is going on.

He immediately drove his horse back to the palace, although this kind of thing seems small, but if someone deliberately does something, the case is a big deal.

Supporting the army and respecting himself, this is the emperor's henchman, and it is still under the emperor's nose!

Zhu Yunxi didn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang could tolerate this kind of thing.

"Grandpa Huang, Yun Xi has something to report."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi walked into the imperial study, he knelt down directly.

"Oh, aren't you going out of Beijing tomorrow?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to let Zhu Yunxi get up and speak, and then asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "My personal guards have recently come to the army and reported to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War immediately agreed, and also allocated the corresponding amount. ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at this Zhu Yuanzhang and said, but found that the other party was not surprised at all, but asked lightly at himself:

"Well, it's a trifle, is that you're here to talk about this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhurriedly, not showing a little surprise.

It seems that he has known about this for a long time...... Zhu Yunxi said again:

"But the origin of these people is unknown......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"They are all the people of my Ming Dynasty, how can they be of unknown origin?"

"Besides, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from, isn't your imperial grandfather also a monk?"

"As long as you want to defend your family and country for me, you are a good man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was righteous and awe-inspiring, and seemed to be reproaching Zhu Yunxi for not considering the issue of these people's unknown origins.

Well, you're the emperor, you have the final say...... Zhu Yunxi knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was pretending to be stupid, but he didn't know why the other party was like this, so he scratched his head very depressed and said with a smile:

"So the grandson will be relieved."

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Yunxi walk out of the imperial study, and couldn't help but smile appreciatively.

Although this kind of thing is small, if you don't have a keen sense of politics, you won't deliberately come to report it.

"Could this be the old guy Li Shanchang who taught Yunxi this kid to do this?"

The more generations of male lords in history, the more they have this problem, they like to think about everything, and when they think about it, they can't help but be suspicious, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception.

He always felt that Zhu Yunxi had changed too much and matured too fast, which was no longer in line with the growth trajectory of a normal child, so he naturally felt that everything Zhu Yunxi showed was taught by someone behind him.

"Can't you do so much with these old guys?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded in his heart, he naturally knew that the two emperors and grandsons had their own supporters behind them, but in this way, they could not reflect the true abilities of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen.

This is a headache for him, but this problem can't be said explicitly, because being an emperor means fighting wits and courage with his courtiers.

"Forget it, let's see how they toss."

He comforted himself in his heart, turned his head to Wang Jinghong and instructed:

"Go and call Yun Wei."

After a while, Zhu Yunwen walked into the imperial study, he saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and then stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yun Xi, Yun Xi has his own personal guard, what about you? Don't you want to have one? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words startled Zhu Yunwen, he stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"What does Grandpa Huang mean?"

He wondered in his heart: "Since ancient times, it has been taboo for princes to support troops, is this the emperor's grandfather deliberately testing himself?" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said:

"Yun Wei doesn't need a personal guard, and Yun Wei doesn't like to lead soldiers to fight too much, he just wants to be by the emperor's grandfather and take care of you."

He felt that there was no problem with this, because Huang Zicheng once said to him that His Majesty values filial piety and family affection the most, and he must actively show his strengths in this area at any time.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said with a smile:

"Silly boy, the Ming Dynasty can't be peaceful forever, as a king, how can he not know how to lead troops to fight?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was shocked.

"Did I hear me right?"

"Grandpa Huang actually said the words "being a king!"

His heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, bowed down and said:

"Grandpa Huang taught me a lesson, Yun Wei knew that he was wrong."

Wang Jinghong, who was standing in the shadows, was also beating wildly at the moment, "It's over, has Your Majesty decided to let the little second master sit on the throne of the crown prince?" ”

Although he lowered his head, his ears were already unconsciously erected.

"In this way, you choose for yourself, and choose 5,000 people from the three major battalions in Kyoto as your personal guards."

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhurriedly:

"I will also build a military camp for you outside Ying Tianfu, these people are under your jurisdiction, this time next year, I want to see which one is stronger, you or Yun Xi's personal guards."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jinghong's heart finally fell:

"Obediently, Your Majesty is going to let the two emperors and grandsons fight."

That's right, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip!

Zhu Yuanzhang hit this idea.

This decision is also the result of his careful consideration.

There are people behind the two emperors and grandchildren, and I really can't see the ability of the two, so let the two of them have a clear competition this time!

Zhu Yunwen didn't have Wang Jinghong's thoughts, he was still immersed in the joy just now and couldn't extricate himself.

He immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Grandson must follow the lessons of the emperor's grandfather, and he must learn the method of leading soldiers well." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled: "That's very good." ”

.

Inside the Mandarin Palace.

Lu Shi looked at Zhu Yunwen with a look of surprise: "Really, Your Majesty really said that?" ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded proudly: "How can the child talk nonsense, the imperial grandfather said that as a king, he should learn the way to lead troops to fight." ”

As soon as he heard this, the Lu family was even more overjoyed, walking back and forth in the Wenhua Palace, muttering in his mouth:

"Very good, very good, I will say that Your Majesty likes Yun Wei the most!"

A moment later, several people hurried over.

They all received a notice from the Lu clan that they had important matters to discuss, so they rushed here as soon as possible.

But when the Lu family happily told this story, several people looked at each other and did not show any joy.

"Is there something wrong with this?"

Lu asked, his voice trembling a little.

"Exactly."

Liu Sanwu nodded: "Your Majesty, this is clearly for the little second master and the little third master to fight." ”

He frowned and looked at Huang Zicheng and the others.

Huang Zicheng also pondered for a moment, with a trace of deep worry on his face, and only heard him say slowly:

"It's really a bit unfair for Your Majesty to do this."

Lu Ben also shouted with some indignation: "Indeed, there are some martial arts people behind Zhu Yunxi, if you talk about leading troops to fight, who can compare to these people?" ”

"No, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Yunwen shouted in his heart, and said to a few people: "But the imperial grandfather just said that he is a king." ”

"Alas, even if Your Majesty did say so, but he didn't say who it was!"

Huang Zicheng sighed and said, "Didn't Your Majesty ask you to lead the troops with the little third master?" Aren't you going to pull it out and take a look at it when the time comes? ”

"So?"

Zhu Yunwen understood a little, he wasn't so stupid, but he was hit by that sentence at that time, and his IQ dropped directly, so he didn't think much about it at all.

As soon as several people said it at this moment, he suddenly shouted:

"It's better to lead troops than Zhu Yunxi, it's better to admit defeat directly!"

Lu Shi was completely stupid at this moment, and muttered in his mouth again:

"Why is this happening? Isn't Your Majesty going to make Yun Wei the crown prince? ”

Lu Ben smiled bitterly: "You think too much, according to this, Your Majesty seems to be more attentive to Zhu Yunxi." ”

For a while, several people were solemn.

After a while, Huang Zicheng smiled and said:

"Zhu Yunxi followed Lan Yu out to deal with the flood at the moment, and he didn't have time to take care of his soldiers, and he couldn't come back without a year and a half."

"You mean, Your Majesty deliberately gave Yun Wei a chance?"

Now the Lu family was happy again, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"But don't forget, although Zhu Yunxi is not here, those old guys are here!"

Liu Sanwu reminded.

Now a few people are bitter again.

Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, and Guo Ying are just enough to pull out one and help Zhu Yunxi take care of these soldiers.

When it comes to leading troops, no one on his side can compare with these people at all.

"What then?"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but shout, his face was anxious.

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Sanwu waved his hand and said thoughtfully:

"If Your Majesty hadn't deliberately defended the little third master, he wouldn't have thought of this, maybe there will be new news tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi and Zhu Yunwen both breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were full of apprehension.

Sleepless nights!

Several people on Zhu Yunwen's side were tossing and turning.

Tomorrow, you may be able to see your majesty's thoughts.
