As soon as this statement came out.

The father and daughter of the Xu family were shocked, and subconsciously glanced at each other.

What time has it been?

Ying Tianfu has reached curfew time.

It stands to reason that if there is something to send someone over to spread the word, why does the prince have to run in person?

I don't have time to think about it.

Xu Da hurried to the door with his daughter to greet him.

The father and daughter had just walked out the door.

The crown prince Zhu Biao appeared in front of him.

"Minister, Xu Da, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Courtier, Xu Miaoyun, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhu Biao left the palace in a hurry, so he wore a bright yellow regular clothes.

"Uncle Xu, hurry up and be exempt!"

"Sister Miaoyun, you also get up, you don't have so many rules with us!"

Zhu Biao stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to help Xu Da up, and motioned for Xu Miaoyun to get up.

When Xu Da's father and daughter stood still, Zhu Biao smiled and said:

"Lone came to visit late at night, and I ask Uncle Xu to bear with me."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious! Your Royal Highness, please, the girl will prepare tea for His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Seeing that Xu Da looked a little flustered, Zhu Biao hurriedly waved his hand, no nonsense:

"Uncle Xu doesn't have to be polite, he won't sit down, and I'll visit you another day!"

"The emperor decreed that the Duke of Xuan Wei would enter the palace immediately."

Hear that.

Xu Da's father and daughter both chuckled in their hearts.

The emperor sent the prince to the palace in person late at night to announce the entry of people into the palace.

Something big must have happened!

"Command!"

Xu Da didn't dare to slack off, and after saluting, he stretched out his hand and asked the prince to step forward.

"Uncle Xu, please!"

Zhu Biao also made a gesture of please.

Immediately, he glanced at Xu Miaoyun, who looked uneasy, and took the initiative to explain:

"Sister Miaoyun, my father urgently summoned the general late at night, but he has important official business to discuss with the general, you don't have to worry."

Hearing the prince's explanation, Xu Miaoyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed:

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

"Let the emperor bother!"

Zhu Biao nodded, shook his sleeves, and rushed towards the palace with Xu Daze.

……

The Imperial Palace, the Jin Body Palace.

"Tiande is here, hurry up and excuse me!"

"Come, give a seat, serve tea!"

"Tiande, I'm tired from training during the day, and I'm called to the palace so late!"

"Good work!"

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's extraordinary enthusiasm, Xu Da was a little flattered:

"Your Majesty, training in the military camp is a matter for ministers."

"It's not hard!"

Xu Da sat down on the stool, took the hot tea handed over by the eunuch Liu He, and asked tentatively:

"Ascendant, summon the ministers into the palace late at night, is there any news from the north?"

In Xu Da's opinion, the emperor summoned him late at night, except for the war in the north, the government affairs of the court should not look for him.

Since the court set the Northern Expedition strategy of recovering Liaodong and exterminating the Jurchen clan.

Xu Da ate and slept in the military camp during this time, waiting for news from the north, ready to go on the expedition at any time.

Seeing Xu Da's urgent face, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled:

"Tiande, we have something to look for you, but it's not a matter from the north, let's take a sip of tea first, and we'll talk about it later."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Xu Da became even more anxious.

He took a sip of tea in a hurry, and couldn't wait to ask:

"Your Majesty, is it about the marriage of the little girl Miaoyun?"

"It's not!"

"We're coming to you tonight to talk about business."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, although he also wanted to know what Xu Miaoyun, the future daughter-in-law, said to Xu Da when she went back.

But tonight's matter is related to Daming Sheji, and he can still distinguish the priorities.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and continued:

"O Tiande! We can't make up our minds about something now, and we want to discuss it with you, the general! ”

"This matter is related to my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, you give us staff and advice!"

Xu Da hurriedly stood up, bowed and said:

"What makes the superior so worried, please say it directly, the minister will do his best!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Then he talked about the disadvantages of the household registration system that Lin Che talked about in the edict.

From the people's livelihood, to the country, and the hidden dangers of the system to the Ming Dynasty, it was retold in detail.

Organized and analytical.

The prince next to him, Zhu Biao, listened to it and secretly admired it.

The father also listened to it in the edict, and actually repeated what Lin Che said word for word.

What a good memory!

Xu Da was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, stood up and bowed down and asked suspiciously:

"Your Majesty, are these all the words of the Gongsheng of the Imperial Prison?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Yes, it's all Mr. Lin said, this is the situation, what do you think of Tiande?"

Hear the words.

Xu Da swallowed his saliva, knelt on the ground with a grunt, and said:

"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

As Lin Che said, the disadvantages of the military household system may not be seen by the emperor in the palace, but the generals who have been in and out of the military camp all year round cannot be ignorant of it.

The reason why he pretends to be invisible is either driven by interests or acting as a good old man.

As a general, Xu Da is undoubtedly the latter.

Although Xu Da is strict in governing the army.

But the generals who carry their heads all the year round and fight with themselves are also blind to some subsections.

As long as he didn't commit major disciplinary violations, Xu Da would go with them.

"Tiande, what are you doing here?"

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth showed a hint of cunning, and he pretended to be surprised and said:

"The military household system was formulated by us personally, what does it have to do with your Tiande?"

"O Tiande! To say that it was all our mistake, when we formulated this policy, we did not think it through! So many loopholes! ”

"I came to you so late, I just wanted to discuss with you, this military household system must be changed!"

"Alas! What do you say you're doing on your knees? Aren't we looking for you to be held accountable? I just want you to give me some opinions! ”

"Hurry up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words sounded without a word of reproach, but every word was full of doubts.

Although Xu Da is not often in the court, he has been with the emperor for decades, and he knows his heart well.

Xu Da didn't dare to get up, and continued to kneel down to plead guilty:

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister is guilty!"

"As a general in the court, the minister turned a blind eye to the most basic needs of the soldiers, and almost made a big mistake in the army!"

"The minister has the emperor's grace! The minister is guilty, please punish your majesty! ”

Regarding Xu Da's attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied.

As Xu Da, a general who fought all the way with himself and conquered the world, Zhu Yuanzhang still trusts him.

Xu Da did not conquer the world like those Huaixi nobles, so he became arrogant and reckless.

Although Xu Da was canonized as a duke, he ranked first on the list of meritorious heroes.

He still maintains his usual modesty and prudence, and usually keeps a certain distance from those nobles.

He did not participate in the battle between Huaixi Group and Zhedong Group.

In this regard, even Liu Bowen, who is a smart one, is difficult to avoid falling into the battle of the court.

This also makes Zhu Yuanzhang the most satisfied.

It is also an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has always reused Xu Da after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Xu Da also lived up to his trust, three Northern Expeditions, swept the Northern Yuan Dynasty, stabilized the Ming Dynasty, and established immortal meritorious service!

With that in mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with relief.

He walked out of the imperial case and stepped forward to personally help Xu Da up:

"Tiande, you sit first!"

"We are decades of old brothers, we know who you are, you don't need to explain, besides, we don't blame you!"

In just two sentences, Xu Da's heart was much more stable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Tiande, we came to you to talk about things, not to ask you to come over and be punished!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Da sat back in his position, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with a worried face, and immediately said:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate a year's salary to reward the three armies before the battle, help me win the Northern Expedition, and recover Liaodong in one fell swoop!"

"I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!"

Xu Da is worthy of working with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years.

Zhu Yuanzhang just made such a slight touch, and Xu Da instantly understood what the emperor meant.

What Daming lacks most at present is money.

Although the treasury cannot be said to be empty, the money and food required for this large army to go on the expedition are by no means a small number.

The emperor came to himself so late to talk about this, just to ask for money.

on this.

Xu Da knew it.
