When Lao Cao heard this, he sighed: "If this military power is gone, we want to turn over in the future, but it will be even more difficult, who knows what Your Majesty plans to do with His Royal Highness and several other vassal kings." ”

Zhu Song was not in a hurry at all.

"Lao Cao, don't be so pessimistic, with this king's understanding of His Majesty, although there is no personal friendship between His Majesty and me, but this king has always behaved well in front of him, I am different from the fourth brother, the fourth brother and he are fighting openly and secretly, I and he are busy with each other, he will not kill me."

"What's more, who doesn't want to be an emperor in the history books of later generations to evaluate himself as a virtuous king, if he doesn't even let go of his own uncle, he has the blood of his family on his hands, I'm afraid that the evaluation in the history books will not be too good, since Emperor Jianwen values literature over military force, and is deeply influenced by civil officials, then he must also attach great importance to these posthumous names."

"As for the military power, Kaiyuan is the territory of this king, and the surrounding fields are all cultivated by this king, and the people all regard this king as the main one, let alone hand over the military power, even if they transfer an official from other places, they will not be able to be the lord of this king."

Lao Cao listened to the words of His Royal Highness King Han, and he also had a bottom in his heart.

"If that's the case, the lower official will be relieved, then the lower official will let people spread the news and catch Sheng Yong?"

Zhu Song nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Lao Cao immediately began to organize people in the palace, and asked them to go outside to deliver the news, saying that His Royal Highness had woken up.

Jin Yiwei's spy news is very powerful, especially this kind of superficial news, then at this time, it is necessary to highlight a fast, the news has just come out of the Han Wangfu and quickly reached Sheng Yong's ears.

Sheng Yong was lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun leisurely, and he didn't have such leisure time in Beijing.

"His Royal Highness King Han has woken up? It's time to wake up, I've been here for so long, if His Royal Highness King Han doesn't wake up again, I'm going to faint. ”

Sheng Yong got up and thought about it, he originally planned to put on the armor, but he should go over in civilian clothes.

"You don't have to go over, the official goes alone, and you perform your duties in your own territory."

Sheng Yong left a word, and then left the courtyard and ran to the street to buy some gifts, and came to King Han's mansion with the gifts.

The two guards at the door saw Sheng Yong and asked, "Lord Shan, are you here?" ”

Sheng Yong looked at the two guards and smiled: "Don't worry, I heard that His Highness has woken up, so I came to visit His Highness this time, please help me." ”

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them knocked on the door, and the door of the palace opened, and he made a gesture of please.

"My lord, please come in, my Royal Highness said that if Lord Sheng Yong comes, you don't have to pass it!"

Sheng Yong nodded and said thank you, and then entered the palace, walked all the way, and came to Zhu Song's bedroom in the backyard.

Sheng Yong entered the room and saw Zhu Song sitting on the bed, although he still looked pale, he seemed to be recovering well.

Sheng Yong put the gift on the table, and then knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "The Imperial Forest Army guards thousands of households, Sheng Yong sees His Royal Highness!" ”

Zhu Song looked at Sheng Yong and smiled slightly, pretending to be weak and said: "It's General Sheng, an old acquaintance, I saw the general when this king went to the East Palace before, hurry up, Lao Cao will move a stool for General Sheng." ”

Lao Cao casually handed Sheng Yong a stool, Sheng Yong got up and sat on the stool, looked at Zhu Song and asked: "Your Highness, in fact, Your Highness has already come before His Highness fell into a coma a few days ago, and His Highness's defeat of Wuliang Habu is really a great achievement, but His Highness led troops to attack Guangning before, and this matter has caused a stir in the imperial court." The ministers of civil and military affairs unanimously demanded that His Majesty demote His Royal Highness to a concubine. ”

"The lower official is not here for anything else, it is for this matter, Your Majesty means to bring His Highness to the heavens for trial! In the end, who is right and who is wrong between His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the King of Liao, it is still necessary to say this in front of the civil and military ministers in the court, and it is good to say it to the family in the end. ”

Zhu Song said: "Speaking of the matter between me and the King of Liao is so big, this king is indeed unbearable, although he was angry at the time, a dozen beatings, but after the fight, the king knew that the king had made a big mistake." ”

"This king is willing to admit his mistakes, willing to accept His Majesty's punishment, and does not dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness, and even if General Sheng Yong is willing to stay in Kaiyuan City to lead the troops and horses, this king is also willing to hand over all the military power of Kaiyuan to General Sheng Yong."

Sheng Yong was stunned on the spot after hearing this, he never expected that Zhu Song would be willing to hand over the military power so easily.

"Your Highness, the lower official thinks that no matter what, Your Highness should follow the lower official back to Beijing, Your Majesty is the flesh and blood of Your Highness, and why is Your Highness not your Majesty's flesh and blood? Your Majesty's father, Emperor Xingzong of the Ming Dynasty, is the eldest brother of His Royal Highness, and you and Your Majesty are close uncles and nephews. ”

"Please Your Highness, don't embarrass the lower officials, if Your Highness is unwilling to go back, the lower officials will also face Your Majesty without a straight face."

Zhu Song was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he gave Lao Cao a look, and Lao Cao immediately got up and took the map of Kaiyuan within a radius of 100 miles that was placed aside.

Zhu Song opened the map and pointed to Kaiyuan City.

"General Sheng Yong, you see this is Kaiyuan City, General Sheng Yong has come all the way, and after Guangning, you should have seen the lush fields on both sides of the road."

"But most of these fields are plains, paddy fields, and wheat, these grains are the main rations of my Ming people, but can my Ming people eat rice and flour all year round? Apparently not. ”

"Most of the food of the people of my Ming Dynasty is added with chaff, this thing is difficult to swallow, and adults are unwilling to eat it, let alone children, so this king reclaimed another piece of land in the north of Kaiyuan City, and planted the corn that this king bought from Hu Shang, I don't know if General Sheng Yong has seen the fields in the north in Kaiyuan these days?"

Sheng Yong shook his head: "Your Highness, it is true that Xiaguan has not gone out of the city in Kaiyuan in the past few days, but the grain crops in Liaodong are growing very well. ”

Zhu Song smiled, and coughed a few times at this moment.

"Ahem, ahem...... This war made this king think a lot, this king can't do without this, this is also inseparable from this king, this king has to continue to grow food here, what this king wants is very simple, that is, let the people of our Ming Dynasty eat and wear clothes, this king will not come to this world. ”

Sheng Yong listened to Zhu Song's words, and didn't feel that Zhu Song was pretending to be garlic, because it could be seen from the degree of support of the people of Kaiyuan for Zhu Song that His Royal Highness King Han really loved the people.
