A gust of wind blew, and Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel a trace of coolness.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still looked like he was smiling.

"Grandpa Huang, my mother and third brother ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Zhu Yunxi's words and said, "Grandpa Huang won't blame you, it's just that Grandpa Huang wants to ask you, why didn't you listen to your mother and second brother?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile.

There was also a hint of a smile in his eyes, but Zhu Yunxi couldn't see clearly and couldn't guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid, you just need to answer the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yuanzhang comforted softly.

The more he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, the more unfathomable Zhu Yunxi felt.

Another gust of wind lifted his forehead and the broken hair flew in front of his eyes.

"Because of filial piety." Zhu Yunxi said: "So, Xi'er can't follow the words of her mother and second brother. ”

The so-called filial piety refers to the love for one's parents and the friendship for one's brothers and sisters.

Filial piety refers to filial piety and obedience to parents;

悌, refers to the need to respect and obey the elder brother.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "Since it is because of filial piety, you should listen to your mother and brother, how can you do the opposite?" ”

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, in Xi'er's opinion, it is foolish and filial, but it is unfilial." ”

"Oh?" Old Zhu Le: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhu Yunxi said: "If the second brother becomes the emperor, with the ability of the second brother, he will not be able to control the ministers and vassal kings at all, and when the time comes, there will be even greater chaos." ”

"At that time, I am afraid that it was not only the second brother who was affected, but he could not sit steadily, and it would be difficult for the entire Ming Dynasty to be in civil strife."

"If Xi'er listens to her mother and second brother, she will be in danger for them, and Daming will be in danger."

"Xi'er is also sorry for the imperial grandfather, sorry for the father under Jiuquan, this is really unfilial."

"And now, although Xi'er disobeys her mother and second brother, she is preventing a bad thing, which is the real filial piety."

"The king sits in the country and is in charge of the country, and the responsibility is more than a thousand pounds, which is not trivial."

"Grandpa Huang asked me, Xi'er should be straightforward to say what she thinks in her heart, and she must not favor the public because of selfishness."

His tone was firm, and although his voice was childish, it was loud.

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of brilliance, and he exclaimed: "You have such insight at a young age, you deserve to be our old Zhu's grandson, haha......"

But the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression dimmed a little: "If the boss knows something, he will definitely be proud of you......"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was wrong, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly took his hand and said, "Grandpa Huang, my father has been buried, don't be sad......"

Old Zhu let out a long breath, wanted to speak and stopped, just looked at Zhu Yun in a daze.

At this moment, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has arrived." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and said, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Di has been back for several days.

He was originally in the north to defend against the invasion of the Northern Yuan, but after hearing the news of Zhu Biao's death, he was ordered to rush back thousands of miles away.

Previously, at Zhu Biao's funeral, Zhu Yunxi had already seen Zhu Di.

However, there were a lot of things at that time, and there was no opportunity to say too much in private, and I didn't even see my appearance too clearly.

I don't know what Zhu Di is here for today.

While Zhu Yunxi was thinking, there was a sonorous footstep not far away.

He raised his head and looked at his fourth uncle carefully.

I saw that he was of medium stature, chubby, with a long beard, and his expression was quite heroic.

Perhaps due to his years on the battlefield, his skin is a little dark and rough.

The eyes had a fierce and domineering light.

Zhu Di walked step by step and respectfully called "Dad" to Lao Zhu.

Unlike other royal families, Lao Zhu came from the grassroots step by step, so he never cared about the names of these royal families, and there was not so much red tape.

As long as it is not a formal court meeting, the son is also called his father, not his father.

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "Fourth, here." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded and looked at Zhu Yunxi.

Without waiting for Zhu Di to speak, Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to greet him: "Hello fourth uncle." ”

Zhu Dile stretched out his hand, touched Zhu Yunxi's head, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you stinky boy has grown taller again!" ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled proudly and said, "That is, Xi'er has to grow up quickly, and then he can go to the north with the fourth uncle to ride a big horse." ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Okay, the fourth uncle promised you that he would take you to the north to ride a horse!" He said loudly.

Different from Lao Zhu's other sons, Zhu Di's personality is very bold and quite a bit of Jianghu.

"Fourth uncle, then it's decided!" Zhu Yunxi said happily, full of anticipation.

"It's decided!" Zhu Di said: "Wait until the fourth uncle has leveled the Northern Yuan, and then take you to ride a horse all over the Northern Yuan!" ”

"Oh! Great! Zhu Yunxi jumped up and clapped his hands: "The country is guarded by the fourth uncle, it's good!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned again, and then laughed again.

"Fourth," Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to his subordinates: "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Yes."

At the dinner table, Zhu Yunxi didn't talk much.

But he was quietly looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

"Fourth," Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of roast goose and asked, "How is the north now?" ”

A gust of wind blew the wind chimes in the pavilion, and Zhu Yunxi pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

Zhu Di put down his chopsticks and said with a bright face: "Dad, Beiyuan is not dead hearted, and always wants to fight back, but they were all beaten back by me." ”

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Di pushed the boat down the river and said: "Dad, as long as there are enough soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to level the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty in the future!" ”

A murderous aura condensed in Zhu Di's blazing eyes, and this murderous aura made Zhu Yunxi feel that the temperature around him had dropped a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "Beiyuan is indeed my Ming henchman!" ”

"Standing on the grassland, brave and good at fighting, it makes people feel like a man in the back, like a fish in the throat."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say much about sending troops.

I don't see what he thinks.

The two talked about some other things about Beiyuan, the time was not early, and the food was almost finished, Zhu Di got up and left.

Before leaving, Zhu Di looked back at Zhu Yunxi and said happily: "Stinky boy, grow up quickly, wait for the fourth uncle to take you on a horse." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said excitedly: "Well, fourth uncle, it's decided." ”

After Zhu Di left, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face also narrowed a little, but he put on a little sadness.

"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xi'er, Grandpa Huang asks you another question." ”

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly replied: "Is it about the question of Beiyuan?" ”

"Clever!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Grandpa Huang wants to ask you, if the Ming Dynasty is now raising troops for the Northern Expedition, can the Northern Yuan be completely wiped out?" ”

Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment.

It is by no means an easy task to completely wipe out the Northern Yuan.

The Yuan army was mostly mobile and flexible cavalry, good at guerrillas, if it advanced rashly, it was very likely that it would not be able to find the main force for a decisive battle, and the army would be prosperous, but it could only be withdrawn.

At the beginning, Lan Yu led an army of 150,000 to break the Northern Yuan royal family in the fishing sea, which was somewhat lucky.

It was only a little bit shorter, but he didn't find the location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the food was exhausted, so he could only return to Ming.

The northern and southern fronts were too long, and it was very difficult to supply grain and grass on a front of several thousand kilometers.

The third point is that it is impossible to establish an effective political power and rule in the steppe.

Even if they win for a while, after they withdraw from the army, they will resurrect again.

Not to mention the rest, just these three are the problem.

It is not difficult to defeat the Northern Yuan, but it will be even more difficult to completely flatten it.

The Ming generation has never been able to solve this matter.

Otherwise, there would be no Qing army entering the customs.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and Xi'er feels that it is not good." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "It's really not good." ”

"You think your fourth uncle is suitable for the position of prince, but you also saw it just now."

"If your fourth uncle inherits the unification, he will definitely conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty on a large scale, not to mention the loss of labor and money, but the victory or defeat is unknown."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

In history, after Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he did attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty several times.

It seems that Lao Zhu had already guessed it.

And, looking at Lao Zhu's attitude, he doesn't seem to want to make a big Northern Expedition?

He won the world with martial arts, but he hoped that the next generation would be civilized?

Suddenly, a light flashed in Zhu Yunxi's mind.

Could it be ...... This is the real reason why Lao Zhu is unwilling to let King Yan succeed to the throne?
