"Phew!"

Outside the Dajiao field, when the voice of Le Ma came out, Zhu Gaoxu and Yang Zhan skillfully turned over and dismounted.

Judging from their dismounting posture, Zhu Gaoxu's equestrian skills are the best, and he can completely dismount when the horse has not yet stopped, and his steps are steady.

The second is Wang Xuan, who dismounted like Zhu Gaoxu, but after dismounting, he had to run a few steps forward with the horse.

As for the last one, it was Yang Zhan, who could only get off the horse when the horse was about to stop.

But this is not bad, after all, Yang Zhan has never been in equestrian riding before, and has only practiced in the past four months.

"At this rate, the two of you should be able to apply for the school in advance, and you will be able to get the opportunity to take up the job in a year at most."

Zhu Gaoxu took out a water bladder from the side of the horse and drank it, while not forgetting to pour the water into his hands and feed the war horses he trained.

"I finished the school examination earlier, went back to the institute to train a few times, and saw Your Highness again after taking military merits."

Yang Zhan responded to Zhu Gaoxu with a smile, but before they could say anything, the three soldiers at the gate of the Great Sect came forward to make a move:

"Your Highness, it's time to return the horses."

"Well......" Hearing the soldier's words, Zhu Gaoxu was also quite helpless.

He could have owned a military horse for himself by his own identity, but that would ruin his impression of Lao Zhu.

Therefore, for so many days he practiced equestrianism, and he has always borrowed a horse from the Great Teaching Field.

"Your Highness." Seeing Zhu Gaoxu speak, the three soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, led the three horses and walked towards the Great Sect Field.

Zhu Gaochu and the three of them also walked inward slowly, but they seemed to see Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him from the strategy, so Zhu Gaochu didn't have a sense of urgency at the beginning.

He knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask himself the question of cutting the feudal domain, just to confirm what his attitude towards Zhu Yunwen was.

As long as he answers well, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally arrange for him, but if he doesn't answer well, and he is still careful in the answer sheet, then I am afraid that the person who greets Zhu Gaoxu will be Lao Zhu's complete disappointment.

Zhu Gaoxu understood that he had no way to play with Lao Zhu and play tricks, so he answered honestly, and the content of the article was very pandering to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, even he himself had an illusion, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy after reading it, and instructed Zhu Yunwen to follow suit, and Zhu Yunwen also implemented the reduction of the feudal domain according to his article.

If this is the case, then the three guards of his own Yan Wangfu will be divided into three, and he can have one guard himself, and at the same time, he can also live a life of guarding the border in the north.

In this era, after the status has reached a certain level, the material life enjoyed is actually not far from the emperor.

So as long as Zhu Yunwen gives him a way to live, he will definitely not rebel, but happily guard the border for him.

However, judging from Zhu Gaoxu's knowledge of Zhu Yunwen from history, Zhu Yunwen's eagerness to cut the feudal domain is probably unimaginable to anyone.

He didn't listen to Qi Tai's advice, so naturally it was impossible to listen to himself.

Jianwen's cutting of the feudal clan will still break out, and he still has to prepare for survival......

Zhu Gaoxu was prepared, but when he was about to enter the Great Sect Field, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

He and Yang Zhan looked back, but saw a few horses galloping on the dirt road, and the leader was a military attache wearing a military attache uniform.

They seemed to know Zhu Gaoxu, running towards them all the way, pulling the reins of their horses as they approached.

The military attache who took the lead turned over and dismounted, and raised his hand after standing firmly:

"Your Highness, at the behest of Your Majesty, Your Highness will go to Yulin Zuowei on an errand on the first day of the fifth month to serve as an official of a hundred households."

"In addition, Your Majesty has rewarded twenty horses of silk and five hundred ingots."

While the military attache was talking, the soldiers behind him also turned over and dismounted to Zhu Gaoxu, and presented a stack of five hundred treasure bills.

The military attache took the pass, and at the same time said in a soft tone: "Twenty silk horses have been delivered to His Highness's residence in Yulin Zuowei." ”

"Okay, it's hard to ......" Zhu Gaoxu took the stack of treasure bills with a denomination of 500 yuan, and turned around and left after making a return salute.

In his capacity, there was no need to wait for the military attachés to leave.

However, Yang Zhan and Wang Xuan returned the salute one after another, and then turned around and trotted briskly to keep up with Zhu Gaoxu.

"Your Highness, how can Your Majesty give out all the treasure money, these five hundred treasure banknotes, if you exchange them for silver money, you can only exchange them for one hundred and twenty-five yuan, and I heard that the treasure money has fallen again recently, but I don't know the price."

Yang Zhan had a flexible mind, and although he knew that this stack of treasure money was an astronomical amount, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"How much can you sell for twenty pieces of silk?" Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to make clothes, and no one helped him make them, so he naturally wanted to sell the twenty pieces of silk.

"It depends on the material, if it is an ordinary silk, it is about 600 wen for one horse, and 20 horses is 12 pieces." Yang Zhan responded.

"Not much." Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "You start tomorrow morning, exchange this treasure money for money and bring it back." ”

Zhu Gaoxu knew that the treasure banknote had been depreciating, so naturally he would not leave it, but explained:

"In exchange for money, go to your inner city to see if there are any horses for sale, if there are, and buy three, whether it is a horse or a horse, you can ride it anyway."

"Yes!" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Yang Zhan's eyes lit up, and Wang Xuan next to him also grinned.

"It's April 16th, and you remember to remind me that I was on an errand on the first day of May."

"Good!"

Zhu Gaoxu finally mentioned it, and Yang Zhan also responded happily.

The three of them returned to the small courtyard one after the other, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

However, compared to their side, Fengyang County, which is more than 200 miles away from here, has a group of uninvited guests.

A herald eunuch arrived at the door of a luxurious mansion with twelve leopard guards, turned over and dismounted, and knocked at the door.

"Who's ......"

The porter who opened the door just wanted to ask who the person was, but his face turned pale with fright after seeing the identity of the other party.

The eunuch didn't say anything, but led people into the house after the door opened.

"There is a will, please Ying Guogong to accept the will!"

When he came to the main hall, the eunuch who passed the decree sang the holy decree, and his words made the faces of the several men who rushed to the city pale, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

However, a middle-aged man who came later was very calm, as if he had known that this day would come, so he said to the eunuch:

"Father-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go to the heirloom."

"Horses don't have to salute." Seeing the man saluting, the eunuch turned sideways, not daring to accept the salute, but returned the salute.

Seeing this, the man called the colt didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the backyard.

However, before he could cross a few corridors, he saw an old man in a white robe coming from the backyard.

He was tall and white, and he walked calmly and vigorously, and even in his old age, his gaze was not cloudy, but very firm.

The few steps he took alone made the man feel like he was facing a tiger patrolling his territory in the forest.

"Father, the palace has come to the will......"

When the middle-aged man saw the comer, he immediately made a move, and told all about what happened outside with an ugly face.

"It's long overdue...... the old man seemed to know that there would be this day, so he didn't stop for long, and walked towards the main hall, and the man hurriedly followed when he saw this.

Along the way, the father and son were speechless, and it was not until they almost arrived at the main hall that the old man couldn't help but speak:

"You are the eldest brother and a colt, Your Majesty will not embarrass you, as for me, ......"

The old man muttered for a moment, but said nothing, and at this time they also entered the main hall.

"See Ying Guogong!"

Seeing the old man appear, the soldiers and eunuchs in the main hall saluted one after another, and the person who can be called the Duke of Ying Guo is naturally only Fu Youde, who is "the first in terms of generals".

"Ministers and Friends, take the order ......"

The tall Fu Youde chose to kneel directly in the face of that fluttering holy decree, and the eunuch who passed the decree seemed to know about Fu Youde, and did not blame the other party for not preparing the incense case, but opened the holy decree and prepared to read it.

When the holy decree was opened, Fu Youde's children and grandchildren all held their breath, and Fu Youde himself closed his eyes, as if he felt that his life was about to end.

"Feng, heaven carrier, the emperor said: Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, I often think about it after returning to my hometown, and now I hereby send an edict to return to Beijing and live in the mansion of Yingguo, so as to summon him, and reward another 300 ingots, and I ...... this."

When the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, everyone in the Yingguo Mansion was stunned, and Fu Youde's eldest son, Fu Zhong, who was known as the concubine, even showed an expression on his face for the rest of his life.

Similarly, Fu Youde also opened his eyes after reciting the holy decree, but he was not as simple as Fu Zhong.

He knew very well that even if he dodged this time, it was not because he was capable, but because he didn't want him to die.

As for why he didn't want to die, he could only know when he went to the capital......
