Kaiping is Kaiping City, which originally belonged to the former Yuan Shangdu, was built by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, and was the second city on the grassland at that time.

Kublai Khan ascended the throne here and became the emperor, so it was known as the place where the "Holy Dragon" took off and became the capital of the Yuan Dynasty for a hundred years.

In the war with Mongolia for Kaiping, "Ming Shilu" only used 8 words to describe this war: "Kaiping is the king, and Jibei is peaceful!"

At that time, Chang Yuchun had not yet sealed the king of Kaiping.

Kaiping City is located in the middle of the northern defense line in the early Ming Dynasty, deep into the grassland, which can ensure that the Xuanfu in the south does not directly meet the enemy, and also ensure the smooth transportation route from Beiping Mansion to Liaodong.

In the future, Zhu Di made five northern expeditions, and four of them started from Kaiping, which shows the importance of Kaiping.

In the study of the Shiko's house.

Zhu Gaoxu deliberately kept serious, pretending to be an adult, and his face was full of overexerted expressions, which made people laugh.

However, Zhu Gaochi and Jin Zhong did not expose it, and cooperated with Zhu Gaoxu.

Young people care most about face.

"Now Kaiping, there are Kaiping Wei, Kaiping Left Tunwei, Kaiping Zhongtunwei, Kaiping Right Tunwei, Kaiping Houtunwei, Kaiping Qiantunwei, and Xinghe, Yixing two important passages of thousands of households."

Jin Zhong stood in front of the map and introduced.

The ownership of Kaiping is very complicated, it was simple before, it belonged to Beiping Mansion, controlled by King Yan, and it changed for more than ten years in the middle.

Later, Du Si, and then the Gu King of Shandong were also ordered to go north to control Kaiping, but the Gu King had been transferred back the year before last.

The recent situation has logically returned to Zhu Di's moderation.

However, people's hearts are uncertain, and changes over the years have led to the minds of the generals of Kaiping Zhuwei, and no one knows where to go.

"If you want to control Kaiping, Kaiping Wei and Xinghe, Yixing is the most important, as long as you control these three places, it can be said that you have been captured."

Although Jin Zhong's ancestral home is Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, Beiping can be regarded as Jin Zhong's second hometown, and his family entered the military and came to Tongzhou, Beiping Prefecture as a soldier very early.

is different from ordinary military households, because his family was a virtuous family in the early years, so his knowledge and knowledge are outstanding, and he has explored a lot of northern guards.

It is precisely because of years of reserves and hard work that after getting the opportunity, he immediately soared into the sky, from a military household to the right Changshi of the Changshi Mansion, which became a magical thing in Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand what he heard, he glanced at his eldest brother, and when he saw that his eldest brother's expression was clear, he became more and more discouraged, and the gap between himself and his eldest brother was so big.

Zhu Gaochi discovered Zhu Gaoxu's vision, knew his distress, and personally explained to him: "Kaiping Weihe Xinghe and Yixing are the location of the field army, and the Tun Institute is mainly production, supplemented by the military, and provides resources and military resources for the other three, so controlling these three places is equivalent to controlling Kaiping's military power." ”

Zhu Gaochu suddenly opened his mouth, understood Jin Zhong's words, and before he could be happy, he was immediately turned around by Zhu Gaochi's words and warned him sternly.

"You have a noble status and can play a big role in Kaiping, but follow Mr. Jin, you must listen to Mr. Jin's arrangements in everything, and you must not advocate without authorization, let alone for your Mr. Jin.

"Big brother, I must listen to Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin asked me to go east, I will never go west, I have to ask Mr. Jin first to drink saliva."

Zhu Gaoxu said honestly.

Zhu Gaochi nodded with satisfaction, when he was the original owner of the body before, Zhu Gaochu was not so honest.

There are reasons for the original personality of the body, and there are also some of his abilities, which do not surpass Zhu Gaoxu, or how much.

Zhu Gaoxu, who led to the full talent of charging into battle, was not convinced by the original owner, but now there has been a change.

Zhu Gaochi's achievements have long left Zhu Gaochu without a trace, and under Zhu Di's indulgence, he can even be on an equal footing with Zhu Di.

So when Zhu Gaochi put on the attitude of his eldest brother like a father, Zhu Gaochu did not dare to resist at all.

Seeing Zhu Gaochu's obedient appearance, Zhu Gaochi did not blindly suppress it, and gave him a "date" to eat.

"You performed well this time, and when your father comes back from Liaodong, I will definitely praise you, I will show you merit in front of your father and let you serve in the army in advance."

"Really?"

Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't help it, and asked again and again in surprise.

He was not satisfied with the school field for a long time, and wanted to go to the barracks, but was rejected by Zhu Di on the grounds that he was still young, Zhu Gaochi knew the real reason, in fact, Zhu Di thought that Zhu Gaochu's temperament still needed to be honed.

With Zhu Gaochi Zhuyu in front, even if Zhu Gaochi's achievements are not mentioned, only Zhu Gaochi's own logic makes Zhu Di's expectations for the other two sons a little higher than the original standard.

In a word.

Zhu Gaochi's performance was too good, which made the two brothers Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui suffer a lot in disguise.

People's ambitions change with the change of strength.

When Zhu Gaochi first came, the situation was unclear and he had little right to speak, so he was cautious and cautious to avoid being suppressed at the beginning, resulting in a break from everything.

Now that he is in power, Zhu Di, the only one who can suppress him, went to Liaodong again, so he naturally threw off his arms and strode forward.

Daning is what he wants, and Kaiping is also what he wants.

In the entire Beiping, in fact, there is one more person who can suppress Zhu Gaochi, that is Princess Yan of the palace, Zhu Gaochi's biological mother Xu.

However, the Xu family is frowning now, and he can't care about the outside affairs.

The husband's marriage for his son was opposed by an imperial historian, how could this be reasonable, and the Xu family was very dissatisfied.

The daughter of the Guo family, Xu likes it very much, she is a good daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable, and the family behind her is impeccable in the eyes of Xu.

She herself is from the noble family, and of course she hopes to choose a daughter-in-law from the noble family.

"What can I do about this, if the imperial grandfather listens to the words of the imperial history and really refuses, won't the eldest brother be sad."

Zhu Yuying, who is nineteen years old, looked worried, worried about her younger brother's family affairs, and forgot that she was also the one who was about to get married.

"Your uncle can't count on it, you can only count on your second uncle." Xu gritted his teeth and said.

Xu and Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou are the same biological mother, and the brothers and sisters have a good relationship, while Xu Da's second son Xu Yingxu's biological mother is a concubine.

and Zhu Di's childhood sweetheart, a couple with deep feelings, whether from the perspective of his own generation or the next generation, Xu is disgusted with concubines in his heart.

At this point, the husband is quite satisfied with himself.

"The prestige of the eldest uncle is higher than that of the second uncle, so he should be more effective in his words." Zhu Yuying asked hesitantly.

Xu was speechless.

Of course, she hopes that her husband and brothers will have a good relationship and become a family, but in fact, where can she be so happy.

"I didn't tell you about the adults before, but now you are about to become another wife, running the family business, there are some things you should know."

Xu said to Zhu Yuying: "Your uncle and your father don't deal with each other, but your second uncle has a deep relationship with your father." ”

Zhu Yuying's fair face was full of astonishment, she never knew, but every year, her uncle's gifts never stopped.

"What conflict did my uncle and father have?"

Xu shook his head and sighed faintly: "Where is the contradiction, but in the affairs of the imperial court, your uncle can't help himself, and your father can understand, so although the two of them are in trouble, their faces are still passable." ”

Zhu Yuying's eyes were a little confused, but she quickly regained her clarity, after all, she was born in the Zhumen family, and she was well-informed since she was a child, so she quickly accepted and understood.

Xu personally wrote a handwritten letter, and asked the people in the house to send it to Yingtianfu quickly, and it reached Xu Zengshou's hands.

"Well, it seems that he still hasn't hidden."

Xu Zengshou couldn't help but sigh after reading his sister's letter.

The eldest brother asked him not to interfere, and the eldest sister asked him to help his nephew, which was embarrassing for him, and if he ignored it, he helped the eldest brother, and if he ignored it, he helped the eldest sister.

No matter what you choose, you will disappoint another family member.

"Sometimes, I envy those small families, although the life is poorer, but the family and the beauty of the family, where is like us."

Xu Zengshou sighed.

In the courtyard, several readers had complicated faces, how did they answer this?

He is also poorer.

It's really a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, how many people envy the two brothers of the Xu family, because they were born well and have a high status since childhood.

These of them have been reading hard since they were children, filling their stomachs with poetry scriptures, passing five levels and cutting six generals, squeezing through the "single-plank bridge", and getting out of the way, they don't have to pat the Xu family's sycophants.

"Gentlemen." Xu Zengshou asked kindly, "Do you have any suggestions on this matter?" ”

Several scholars did not shirk and expressed their opinions one after another, some thought that Xu Huizu should be supported, and some thought that Princess Yan should be supported.

The humanistic atmosphere in the early Ming Dynasty is different from that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and even in the late Ming Dynasty.

In a nutshell.

The current civil officials have not yet taken the lead and dominated the court, so they do not have the pride of being the first in the world.

There are remarks that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can reflect some of the social morality of the early Ming Dynasty, and Luo Guanzhong was Zhang Shicheng's strategist.

Now the power of the vassal kings and the power of the nobles is strong, especially the existence of the vassal king's mansion, and the vassal ministers regard the vassal king as the king, and it is not a minority.

In the previous era of left and right phases, it was even more at the peak.

Therefore, these scholars did not all support the Huangtai faction, and many people hoped to profit from it and get a chance to get ahead.

Xu Zengshou smiled, several scholars, did not say an idea that impressed him.

After sending them away, Xu Zengshou went to Guo's house.

What does Guo Ying mean?

Guo Ying and Xu Da are the same generation, that is to say, they can be regarded as Xu Zengshou's elders, so they handed over the name card with the gift of the younger generation and agreed to visit them in three days.

The housekeeper of the Guo family replied to the post and agreed to Xu Zengshou's invitation to come to the door.

"Do you want to marry the eldest prince of Yanwang?" An old man asked seriously.

Where is his name Guo Ying, Guo Si is the name his parents gave him, he lost his family since he was a child, and now he has a large family, Guo Ying is famous for caring for his family.

"The little sister is shy, but I look at her thoughts, and I still have some admiration for the little prince." Grandson Guo Zhen said.

Guo Zhen is the son of the eldest son Guo Zhen, next to Guo Xuan, the son of the second son Guo Ming, and Guo Cailian's brother.
