Zhu Gaochi asked people to go to Tianjin to pick up Guo Cailian.

Guo Cailian had returned to Beiping from Liaodong, and although she knew that there was no shortage of people around her wife, Zhu Gaochi still sent someone.

One means that the husband and wife are deeply in love, and the other is to win over the Guo family.

On this day, Zhu Gaochi received a letter from Li Bosheng in Shaanxi, which talked about Zhu Di and Song Sheng.

It is proposed that the two families be married.

Song Sheng's fourth son, who is the same age as the third daughter of King Yan, can be engaged in marriage first.

"It seems that something is bound to happen."

"What?"

Zhang Quan didn't hear clearly, and asked subconsciously.

Zhu Gaochi silently put down the letter.

Seeing the appearance of the little prince, Zhang Quan closed his mouth and guessed that the little prince was talking to himself just now.

This matter is in their favor.

Zhu Gaochi made a decision to facilitate this matter.

Song Sheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and north for decades, and later guarded Ganzhou and became the real power boss of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division.

And this person is invincible, so that the Hexi Corridor has been peaceful for many years.

In history, it was not until the thirty-first year of Hongwu, that is, the year of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, that Song Sheng was ordered to go to the desert with Zhu Di.

In fact, as early as the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the two had the opportunity to meet.

However, Zhu Di was very "simple" at that time, although he was ordered to patrol the border, he did not want to do much, and he eliminated the enemy in two months, and he did not leave Beiping.

may be fate, Zhu Yuanzhang's will in the year of his death gave the two the opportunity to meet, leaving a chance.

When Zhu Di rebelled, Song Sheng's eldest son died early, and the second son requisitioned Zhu Di with the imperial army and died in battle.

However, the veteran Song Sheng did not come out of the mountain.

The court didn't believe him either, and was worried about the friendship between the two in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, so don't take refuge in Zhu Di in the end, that's why it's called luring a wolf into the house.

Because too many generals have taken refuge in Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was also afraid that this person would personally lead troops to fight him.

When both sides had concerns, Song Sheng did not move his troops in Ganzhou, and Zhu Yunwen even issued an order to order him to re-conquer Gansu with Song Sheng's "prestige for a long time in Liangzhou".

In a word.

After Zhu Di rebelled and successfully ascended the throne, he married his third daughter to Song Sheng's fourth son, which shows the importance of the Song family.

In the first year of Yongle, Song Sheng learned that Timur and his allies planned to invade the Ming Dynasty, and was instructed by Zhu Di to strengthen the defense of Ganzhou.

In the end, he did not wait for Timur's army, but Song Sheng first forced the Pingzhang in the west to surrender Timur and Lunduer, swept away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and recovered a large territory.

It can be seen that the prestige and ability of veteran Song Sheng.

If you can win over the Song family in Ganzhou to join the palace, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, even the guards of the Shaanxi Capital Division may defect to Zhu Di.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Zhu Gaochi picked up the pen again and wrote a letter, which was sent to Li Bosheng immediately.

First of all, go all out to make this happen.

The second thing is to use the power of the Song family to develop China Heavy Industry in the local area.

The third thing is to win over the Shaanxi Health Center.

After Ge Cheng and Jin Zhong learned about it, Ge Cheng felt that the little prince was a little taken for granted, and reminded: "I'm afraid there are many people who oppose it. ”

Jin Zhong doesn't think so.

"If the old King Qin is still alive, there is no need to mention this matter, but the old King Qin is no longer there, and there is not much obstacle in Shaanxi."

"As for the imperial court, with the weight of King Yan in the hearts of the saints now, the saints should not object to marrying a daughter."

Ge Cheng shook his head, "This matter is very important, General Song has a serious personality, and most of them will not get involved in it." ”

That's right.

It mainly depends on the parties.

Hearing the analysis of the two Changshi Governors, Zhu Gaochi felt that there was a lot of hope.

Because of his performance in history, Zhu Gaochi thinks that Song Sheng still has a good impression of Zhu Di.

Whether it was when Zhu Di rebelled, or after Zhu Di ascended the throne, this person performed well.

First of all, he didn't feel sorry for the court, his second son died in battle for the court, and as for not personally leading the troops to quell the rebellion for the court, it was because the court ordered him to continue to guard Ganzhou, and the court didn't trust him.

Secondly, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Song Sheng did not take advantage of the situation to become bigger, but adhered to the imperial court system without any overstepping.

Finally, this person made an important contribution to the Ming frontier.

This person's city government must not be underestimated, and it cannot be treated simply as a martial artist, and even many things can be seen through this person.

But it was precisely because he saw through that he made the right choice.

Worthy of the imperial court, and even more worthy of the world, after all, it was the civil war of the old Zhu family, and Song Sheng did not lose points in the process.

"The key is to look at General Song himself, if he doesn't refuse, this matter will be a certainty, so we still have to convince him."

Ge Cheng couldn't help but glance at Zhu Gaochi.

The Guo family in Liaodong, plus the Song family in Shaanxi, is based on the current situation in Beiping, Daning, and Kaiping.

There are also Tianjin Water Division, Jinzhou Water Division, Jinzhou Wei New Army, and Shiqiao Battalion New Army.

The ambition of the little prince is revealed.

Ge Cheng was worried.

Because of the care of the prince, the little prince has been smooth sailing over the years, and some people have underestimated the world, and his steps are getting bigger and bigger.

Is it a good thing to go on like this?

Seeing that he couldn't convince the little prince, Ge Cheng and Jin Zhong stayed on the stone platform of the palace when they left.

"The little prince is very talented, and even I can understand the prince's love for the little prince."

"Do you think that because the prince loves the little prince too much, the little prince has created his ambition now?"

Jin Zhong looked at Ge Cheng with a smile.

Jin Zhong has gone from a white Ding to the right Changshi of the Changshi Mansion today, and compared with Ge Cheng, he only lacks qualifications.

Ge Cheng didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence to Jin Zhong's words.

Jin Zhong put away his smile, looked up into the distance, and suddenly stretched out his hand into the air and pointed in a circle.

Jin Zhong is the most loyal person to Zhu Di.

Because Zhu Di is Jin Zhong's Bole, he gave Jin Zhong an opportunity that ordinary people can't reach, and Jin Zhong did not disappoint Zhu Di and did many things for the palace.

He and Ge Cheng are different.

Ge Cheng is not only born in Jinyiwei, but also has the status of a court.

Jin Zhong said heavily: "The little prince is not talented, but unheard of, and the sky in Beiping has long changed." ”

"The wind of cutting the feudal domain in the capital is becoming more and more arrogant, and the prestige of the prince is now the head of the feudal domains, and the contradiction between the two is irreconcilable."

"It's just that the little prince was born in the palace again, the better he does, the greater the pressure on the court, and it has long been impossible to reconcile."

"The little prince is from another family, and even ordinary people will not be like this, this is a choice that has no choice."

The remarks of cutting the feudal domain have not been interrupted since the day Zhu Yuanzhang divided the kings.

Because China's history is too long and the records are too detailed.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang can't ban it.

It was not that the auxiliary minister he deliberately kept for Zhu Yunwen was the one who was determined to cut the domain, but that most officials thought that the domain should be reduced.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a choice, because he felt that the officials who did it were all officials who wanted to cut the domain.

Even the vassal kings also knew that the imperial court would cut the feudal domain.

It's just that I don't know how to do it.

As the saying goes, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the rebellion of the Eight Kings.

However, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were 18 vassal states, and counting the vassal states that did not have vassal states, there were as many as 24 countries, and the difficulty of cutting down the vassal was not less than before.

Showdown.

People have to make choices.

Just like the moment when King Yan decided to rebel, some people firmly opposed it, such as Yu Fengchen, and some people firmly supported it, such as Jin Zhong.

And before the showdown, Jin Zhong had already made a choice.

Ge Cheng was caught off guard by Jin Zhong's sudden "showdown" action, and he didn't know how to respond, so the two fell silent.

Jin Zhong observed Ge Cheng.

Zuo Changshi's position is too important, although he knows that Ge Cheng has taken refuge in the prince, but where he can go, Jin Zhong wants to see clearly.

"Does the little prince know?"

"The little prince knows everything."

"Doing so is not good for your reputation, and even if it succeeds, it will leave an unwashable stain and be blamed by future generations."

Jin Zhong did not answer Ge Cheng, but Jin Zhong's attitude had already indicated his intentions.

In Beiping in July, the weather is hot.

It seems that people's hearts are also affected by the weather, and there is a lot of heat and dryness.

Under the scorching sun.

Jin Zhong arrived in Zhuozhou by railway.

Zhendingwei is the gateway to Beiping City.

Zhendingwei is also an important military force in Beiping.

Originally belonged to the Beiping system, it was an independent existence in Beiping, and when the prince was alive, Zhen Dingwei had already stood in line with the prince's line.

Actually, it's very understandable.

Even Zhu Di's left guard is like this, not to mention the real guard outside.

This act of eroding power ended until Zhu Di led his troops to the first victory, and then began to recover his power when the prince suddenly died of illness.

The political situation is never constant.

Just as things evolve, they don't stay the same.

Right now.

Jin Zhong is a knife in Zhu Gaochi's hand, this knife is going to fall on Zhen Dingwei, and Jin Zhong came with a letter of appointment.

Zhang Wu, the original right guard of Yanshan, is now a real guard for thousands of households, and he has been promoted to a real guard.

Zhang Wu was transferred to Zhendingwei the year before last, and after two years of polishing, he has attracted a lot of Zhendingwei generals.

That's why today's promotion is what it is today.

Not only Zhang Wu, but many generals trusted by the palace have been promoted one after another over the years.

This practice was established on a group of generals mastered by Zhu Di after he set out on the expedition.

It is also where Zhu Di's confidence lies in his future rebellion.

It is precisely because of the expedition that began in the twenty-third year of Hongwu that Zhu Di was provided with a large number of trustworthy generals from the flames of war.

Over the course of eight years, these officers gradually grew to the point where they could stand on their own.

Meng Shan, the former guard of thousands of households in Yanshan, is now the commander of Jizhou Guard

The original Yanshan guards thousands of households are really true, and now the commander of Tongzhou Wei is the same as the commander.

Wang Cong, the former guard of 100 households in Yanshan, is now the commander of the right guard of Yongqing.

……

Through the authority of the royal palace, Zhu Gaochi used Zhu Di's prestige and the influence of China Heavy Industry to make a considerable transfer within the Beiping army, which attracted the attention of the outside world.

At this time, an imperial historian arrived in Beiping from the south.

"I came to Peking for one thing only, to investigate whether it was an accident or a murder in Beiping."

This imperial history is very high-profile.

His name is Ye Xixian.

The original crown prince is the backbone of the current imperial grandson line.

Although it is only a famous imperial history, even Yan Yu, the political envoy of the political secretary, felt the pressure on his face.

This summer is destined to be unusual.
