"Mother-in-law."

"Mother-in-law."

The beautifully carved bed, covered with a layer of futon and silk quilt, makes the corners of the old man's mouth seem to move.

Zhu Di, who had been sitting in front of the bed for half the night, suddenly refreshed, came back to his senses, felt what his father said, and hurriedly leaned forward and asked with concern: "Father, did you say anything?" ”

The eunuchs and female officials in the hall heard the movement and hurriedly leaned up, and the doctor on duty outside was also awakened.

The old man didn't move.

"The saint seems to be laughing."

The female officer said in astonishment.

People's eyes looked over, and the corners of the old man's mouth were indeed a little upturned.

People can't help but be amazed by such a phenomenon.

"Jubachi, you're too stubborn."

"You mother-in-law, are you stubborn, or are you stubborn, you are so embarrassed to complain about us and say that we are stubborn."

The man yelled loudly.

"Women are not allowed to interfere in government."

The woman didn't move at all, she didn't pay attention to the man, the angry man couldn't help jumping to his feet, there was only the woman in front of him in the world, who dared to be so angry with him, and didn't listen to his own words at all.

I am not for the sake of Daming, for the sake of the overall situation.

"You're a little girl."

"Madam, is this flower pretty? I picked it with your own hands. ”

"Ma'am?"

"Ma'am?"

"Okay, good, we were wrong."

The man said sorry loudly, I don't know, I thought he was losing his temper, the palace maids around couldn't help laughing, and the palace maids were stopped by the woman's eyes.

"Boss, you, everything is good, it's just too gentle, you don't know how bad the scholars are, although they talk about etiquette and honesty every day, they actually care most about their own interests."

"Boss?"

"Boss?"

"You are so young and strong, how can you leave your father? It's really unfilial. And we are already old, and our energy is not as good as before, but you leave like this, what should we do with the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty? What should be done about the safety of the people of the world? ”

"Second brother, you're too unsuccessful."

"What's wrong with my son? Isn't it just how many women have slept? The son is not strong, in the world, which daughter is not willing to marry into the Wang family? ”

Hearing his son's complaints, the old man hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"Third child, why don't you have any skills at all."

The old man said disappointedly.

"Although the son's talent is not strong, it is not weak, at least it will make the vassal country stable and not be harmed by military disasters."

"How can this be reasonable, such a small family."

"Fourth, you are amazing, your prestige in Beiping is often heard by us."

"That's not good."

"It's so brilliant, even if your eldest brother doesn't care, but the civil and military officials below your eldest brother will definitely deal with you, look at it, the commanders of your own personal guards have been taken away by them."

"Old Five, we don't bother to care about you, you just go get your flowers and plants, which can be regarded as beneficial to the people."

That day.

All eyes were on everyone, and everyone's faces were excited, full of anticipation, looking at the figures on the stage.

The man proudly declared.

"The monarch of our Chinese people, since the end of the Song Dynasty, has lost the world."

"The land under the rule of the previous dynasty, the city was destroyed, the ripe fields were turned into pastoral areas, the women did not dare to go out, the men did not dare to raise their heads, the population withered, the people did not have a good livelihood, the people were poor, and they did not dare to laugh."

"Only us, under the orders of heaven, pacify the Quartet, calm the soldiers, restore the Song system, and return the mountains and rivers of China."

"Today, the country is named Daming, the Yuan Hongwu is built, the world is rejuvenated, and the army is not reckless, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and open up peace for all generations."

Zhongshan Altar.

The man proclaimed to the world.

The old man's face was covered with the marks of age, his skin was like an old page, full of wrinkles and spots, and his eyes were so closed that people could not see his usual sharp eyes.

The breathing seemed to be weak, and there was no longer the neatness of the past.

"Father?"

Zhu Di finally tried to scream, but when he saw that there was no movement, he could only think that he had heard it wrong, and reluctantly sat back on the chair.

The doctor also checked the pulse, but also did not say anything.

What needs to be said was said yesterday.

It's probably just a few days.

Unless there is a miracle.

The three brothers Zhu Gaochi came together.

"Father, the sons come to take care of the emperor's grandfather, father, go and rest for a while, the body is also very important." Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di's pale face and said with concern, and the two younger brothers echoed one after another.

Zhu Di shook his head.

Zhu Gaochi was a little helpless.

Zhu Di pointed at Zhu Gaochi, "You go and take care of your state affairs." ”

Zhu Gaochi whispered: "My son accompanies the emperor's grandfather." ”

"It's fine."

Zhu Di agreed.

The three brothers stood behind Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look around, but Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look, looking at the old man who was not moving on the bed, and sighed in his heart the greatness of life.

Only after experiencing life and death can we understand the preciousness of life and the importance of life, but we will never lose control again.

"This is also the reason why Zhu Di is dissatisfied with himself."

Zhu Gaochi thought secretly in his heart.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

But what you have experienced is what you have experienced, and no amount of pain will be reduced because you have experienced it, just because after the sadness, your psychology will become strong and supportive.

Therefore, the person who has experienced hardship must be strong in his heart.

And a nation that has just experienced hardships must have extraordinary centripetal force and tenacity, and when the necessary conditions are met, this nation can burst out with tremendous energy.

"Although I am sad about Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, I can't let go of national affairs, and I can't be like Zhu Di, he can ignore state affairs, isn't it because he is in charge."

"It's as small as an individual."

"Sadness is sadness, and life goes on."

Zhu Gaochi thought so.

After accompanying him for an hour, Zhu Gaochi finally said that he was going to Wenhua Hall to deal with state affairs.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but look at their eldest brother.

Zhu Di thought about it, in fact, he was not angry with the boss, the boss's approach was right, but Zhu Di was unhappy, but he didn't say anything more, and felt a little sorry for his eldest son.

"There you go."

Zhu Gaochi comforted: "Grandpa Huang is ordered by heaven and is not an ordinary person. ”

After speaking.

went to see Zhu Yuanzhang again, and finally the eunuch sent Zhu Gaochi away, leaving behind two younger brothers.

——

Mandarin Palace.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already waiting.

The envoys of the king of Goryeo have been in the capital for three days, as well as the people sent by the Lao envoys, as well as the former royal families from Burma and Sukhothai who have come to meet the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet members and the ministers of the six ministries formulated many plans, such as the military mobilization of the Western Regions provinces, and even the arrangements for the people's livelihood, as well as the operation of the people, and the production plans of the military industrial enterprises.

Some need to be discussed with the imperial grandson, while others have their own charters, which need to be reviewed and signed by His Royal Highness the imperial grandson.

There are many things in the country.

"The information brought by the merchants, they said that Yang Zhong was divided by Timur's five horses."

"Is the information reliable?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and asked heavily.

"It should be reliable."

Hu Guang's face was full of pain.

There are two people with the most influence in the cabinet at the moment, one is Xie Jin, who belongs to the staunch southbound faction, and the other is Hu Guang, who is not close to people, but he can hold the general situation and is good at listening to opinions.

The fact that Timur killed the Ming envoy was something that Zhu Gaochi did not expect.

Chen Cheng was not actually dead, but he was imprisoned, his freedom was restricted, and the information brought back by many businessmen made Zhu Gaochi believe in history.

Historically.

Timur did not kill the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, and did stay, and later after his death, his successor sent someone to escort the envoys of the Ming Dynasty back to the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were not abused, otherwise where would they dare to send them back.

As for trade.

Zhu Gaochi didn't think there was a problem, so he encouraged the businessmen very early.

The people of the Timurid Khanate were poor, but the wealth was still there, but it was looted into the hands of a small number of people, and the poorer the people, the richer the ruling class, and the wealth was transferred.

On the contrary, because of the destruction of the productive forces of the Timurid Khanate, external supplies were urgently needed.

Therefore, in history, the Timurid Khanate often sent missions to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to ensuring that the Ming would not threaten Timur's rear, but also to obtain a large number of needed goods to alleviate domestic demand.

Therefore, the caravan of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the Timurid Khanate, and instead of being suppressed, it was warmly welcomed.

Zhu Gaochi was silent.

If in the past it was only a political and military demand, belonging to the contradiction between the country and the country, then now, with the killing of the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the meaning is different, which is an insult to the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the battle plan drawn up by the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Gaochi felt uneasy.

The two brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, were kicked out by Zhu Di and asked them to go to the Wenhua Hall to assist their eldest brother, Zhu Di was not unaware of what was happening in the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the two brothers entered the Wenhua Palace, they were shocked by the oppressive atmosphere in the hall.

This was not the case in the past with the Mandarin Palace.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

"His Royal Highness."

The ministers greeted the two brothers, and the two brothers politely returned the salute.

Zhu Gaochi pointed to the song.

The two brothers picked it up and read it, only then did they know what had happened, and they were angry in their hearts.

Zhu Gaoxu said loudly: "Big brother, this revenge must be avenged, let the younger brother go, the younger brother promised the eldest brother that he would take down Timur's head, and I was willing to issue a military order." ”

Zhu Gaosui's eyes also lit up.

Although he is not as good at fighting as his second brother, he can also contribute to his eldest brother, "My younger brother is willing to lead the Jinyi Guard, take the lead in entering the Timurid Khanate, and become the eyes and ears of the army." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

Zhu Gaochu's ability to charge into battle, Zhu Gaochi has no doubt, but commanding an army and charging into battle are not the same thing.

Opposite.

Zhu Gaoxu is not strong enough in the overall situation.

ZHANG Fu, ZHU Neng, CHEN Heng, ZHANG Yu. In Zhu Gaochi's mind, one famous general after another flashed, and even began to think about veterans, Geng Bingwen, Song Sheng, etc.

However, Zhu Gaochi gave up using the veteran.

Before Song Sheng came to the capital, he had been in the northwest for decades, and he was able to lead a large army against Timur.

But Song Sheng is too old.

In history, Timur's army invaded the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, entered Yili and coerced Hami, Song Sheng's reaction was not strong enough, mainly based on defense, in addition to the difference in military strength, more Song Sheng was old and knew his own situation, so Shangshu had rebelled against Zhu Di, who had ascended the throne, and asked the emperor to quickly send a new chief military officer and support more troops.

However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty, because of the lack of thorough understanding of the Timurid Khanate, subconsciously thought that it would attack from the north, so the military layout was mainly put in the north.

The old ones are too old, and the young ones are too young.

Lan Yu is the middle layer, and the role of connecting the upper and lower in the army, but unfortunately this person can't stay, and he has committed too many crimes, and anyone else will kill this person.

It seems that everyone is a famous general, but no one can completely reassure Zhu Gaochi.

Zhang Fu and Zhu Neng, they are still too young at the moment, and they have not experienced the Battle of Jingjing, although they have participated in the Northwest War and the Southwest War, but they are only under the command of Zhu Di.

Their starting point is low, but they are only a hundred and a thousand households.

Do you want to let it go and try to let them stand alone?

But the Battle of the Southwest was a national war.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated.

Outside the Imperial City.

Restaurants.

Zhu Gaochi did not issue an order to prohibit folk entertainment, everything is as usual, and the business of the restaurant is still declining, but there are many customers.

In a private room.

There was a loud noise, and there was still an argument.

When the Goryeo envoy heard the movement, he smiled, and his heart was very happy.

"It seems that there are many troubles in the kingdom as well."

"The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and although the kingdom is strong, it is not calm as usual." The other officials said with a smile, hearing that the monarch of Shangguo was seriously ill, and the chaos in Shangguo's society along the way made them can't help but be happy.

"There must be a war in the Japanese Kingdom, and the northwest of the Kingdom is uneven, it has only been more than ten years, the pace of the Kingdom is too fast, and there are many contradictions, and our Southern King still has a chance."

"We can't miss such an opportunity, and ask more about the country."

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word.

"I heard that the envoy of the great country called Timur sent by the kingdom was killed by the monarch of the other side."

"Whether this matter is said by the merchants, whether it is true or not, there is no way to know, but whether it is true or not, we must treat him as true and tell every scholar in the kingdom."

Liu Yiquan explained to his colleagues.

North Korea was originally the most frequent contact with the Ming Dynasty, but now with the opening of the Ming Dynasty, not only official, but also non-governmental exchanges are becoming more and more prosperous, and with the rise of the shipbuilding industry, and the wind and waves between the two countries in the sea area are calm, providing better conditions.

There are not many Koreans in the capital of Shangguo.

They represent the King of the South.

There were also envoys from the king of Goryeo, who represented Goryeo and enjoyed official preferential treatment, while Yoo Yiquan and others were private contacts, so they did not live in the official quarters provided by the Ministry of Rites for the envoys of the vassal states.

They have to pay for everything in the capital, unless it is a special case.

The news of Yang Zhong's brutal murder was brought back by the merchants and was not forbidden to spread, not to mention that it could not be concealed, there were so many people in the caravan, and it had already spread in the northwest.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites personally sent officials to visit Yang Zhong's family.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies also promoted the soldiers who had died and treated them as the families of their widows and martyrs.

The social system worked.

The various groups spontaneously went to condole, and the newspapers reported at length.

"We argue and even scold each other, not because we have hatred, but because we all love Daming, so we will behave radically, and we all want to make Daming better."

"But."

"Our envoy was brutally murdered by the traitor Timur."

"The soldiers were also killed."

"According to the merchants, the Timurid Khanate was very powerful, with at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and most of them were cavalry, and it was the most powerful opponent of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no one, and this army had begun to return to the East, and the next step was us."

"Their army has been fighting all year round, has rich combat experience, and has looted a large number of craftsmen from all over the country, not only firearms, but also many siege equipment, and even various tools for war services."

"The Timurid Khanate was a military system that revolved around war, maximizing force."

"When the former Song Dynasty died in the world, 100,000 people took the initiative to die for the country."

"So when the Ming Dynasty died in the world, how many people took the initiative to martyr the country."

"Why did the people have to be martyred? Therefore, the Ming Dynasty must win the war, and in foreign wars, defeat is not allowed. ”

"All the people of the world unite and unite with the outside world!"

"Unite and fight the enemy together!"

"It is everyone's responsibility to defend our country and protect our country."

"Why!"

The capital of the country.

A student stood on a high place and shouted hysterically, "Why do they want to plunder us, why do they have to come and plunder us when they are backward in their own production and their own responsibility?" ”

"What did we do to them? Nothing was done! ”

"Why!"

"Destroy him!"

"Destroy it!"

More and more students around them came and shouted, raising their hands and shouting.

"Who says good people have to be bullied?"

"We don't be good people, whoever bullies us, we will fight back tenfold and hundredfold, so that they will never dare to bully us again!"

In the crowd, another student climbed up excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Destroy all enemies!"

"Defend Chinese civilization!"

The sons of the country are the proudest group in the world.

Reading is most respected.

It is a tradition that has been in China since ancient times, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one questioned it.

The Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty.

It is the seed of the world's readers, and naturally the proudest person in the world.

Because they are teenagers.

Be in spirits.

Most of the fourth-grade students have left Guozijian and entered society ahead of schedule, and now they are returning to school.

These young people led the students out of the school gate, and one night, with their years of experience in participating in social activities, they made a large number of banners and tools by themselves.

And a complete program was developed.

Each kokuko wears a bachelor's gown.

Morning.

When the sun rises.

The first team appeared on the streets.

Golden State.

"Woo~"

The big steamer transported a large amount of grain, and the timber arrived at the wharf in Tianjin, and from the railway at the wharf in Tianjin, it was transported directly to Hami City, spanning thousands of miles.

Military-industrial complexes everywhere received an urgent notice.

The team leaders solemnly told the workers what had happened recently, and prepared to leave room for the next notice.

At this time.

Starting with the student activities in Beijing, the first to respond was the Guozijian of Beiping, then the Guozijian of Zhejiang and the Guozijian of Guangdong.

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the world.

Guozijian's behavior has made the teachers of the world's government and state schools and county schools learn, and students from all over the country have also learned from the senior brothers of Guozijian, and in only a month, this activity has become more and more intense.

"Needless to say, at this time, whoever is still ignorant has no conscience!"

The worker took the initiative to say.

The factories began to work overtime, and the workers worked diligently, and the output rose rapidly, making boxes and boxes of military supplies.

The thirty-sixth spring of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was like a machine, spontaneously started, the court did not issue a decree, nor did it have any experience in this area, and the society took the initiative to rush in this direction.

From the newspapers to people's conversations.

All the topics are basically war, and people support war.

"We are a just war!"

The front page of the newspaper was only a few short big words.

Such an extraordinary thing made the people more and more excited, "Hey, the shorter the newspaper says, the bigger the matter!" ”

Looking at the newspapers in Peking.

Gao Liliu was dumbfounded.

The scene he had never seen in these days made him feel terrified.

Daming.

Is it still the gentle Da Ming in his impression?

The kingdom of Shang, which was not feared in the past, became hideous and terrifying overnight, making people dare not confront, not even the slightest thought.

"Tell King Nan that you must not disobey the Ming Dynasty."

"We were wrong."

"You don't have to hold on to old ideas."

"At this moment, it's no longer a good time, on the contrary, the more it is like this, the more it can't trigger the reverse scale of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Quick."

"Go and see the King of the South!"

Gao Liliu urged people to return to China like crazy, for fear that they would be a day late to go back, and the king of Nan had already raised the flag to act, which made people regret it too late.

——

The blood of the outside world cannot change the chill of the palace.

The old man suddenly woke up.

People were caught off guard and stepped forward one after another, showing happy eyes, Zhu Di thought that his father was getting better.

"Father, drink some porridge, you haven't eaten for three days."

Zhu Di opened his mouth and said.

As long as you can eat, it will be fine, and your eyes are full of anticipation.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to know the surroundings, looked around, and finally stared at Zhu Di, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, people felt terrible, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Zhu Di was also a little apprehensive, and was about to ask the doctor.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.

"Fourth."

"The son is here."

"Daming's Jiangshan Sheji will be delivered to you today."

"Don't forget to let the people give enough to the people, and don't forget that the people who read are the worst, and the big families only care about their own interests, and they definitely don't care about the interests of the people."

"If the people are stable, the country will be stable."

"What the people hate most is corrupt officials, and they must not be soft on corrupt officials, and they will kill one if they find one."

Zhu Di looked at his father who was gushing, thinking that his father had just recovered from a serious illness, and was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, hoping that his father would rest and talk about it when he was well.

Lookers-on see most of the game.

The people around showed a look of grief, the doctor was ready, and the historian wrote down everything, including the saint himself who said that he would hand over the country to the prince.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

Imperial.

The bell rang.

The bells in the direction of the Imperial City were heard throughout the Old Town.

"One, two, three."

Some of the people were counting in their hearts, and suddenly they collapsed and wept.

There were also people who read books and ran onto the streets, their faces full of sorrow.

The bell struck forty-five times.

Tell the whole world that the Ming Emperor died.

(End of chapter)
