"Your Highness has learned something, and you don't need to study in the Yingguo Mansion in the future......"

In the Yingguo Mansion, when the eunuch of the inner court said the content of the edict, Zhu Gaoxu and the three of them, except for Fu Youde, were stunned.

Fu Youde seemed to have guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would do this, but Zhu Gaoxu and Fu Zhong brothers didn't guess.

Or rather, they guessed, but they didn't dare to think about it.

Stop Zhu Gaoxu's study in the Yingguo Mansion, the meaning of this sentence is a literal stop of studying, or is it a deeper content?

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Fu Youde, and when he saw the expression on Fu Youde's face, he had an answer in his heart.

At this moment, he only felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might be forced to be helpless, obviously he didn't want to kill Fu Youde himself, why did he still insist on making an order, just for Zhu Yunwen?

If it's just for Zhu Yunwen, then as long as he is given an excuse to block Zhu Yunwen's mouth, he may be able to save Fu Youde.

"I'm going to find grandpa......" With some confidence in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked outside the main hall.

"Gao Xu......" Fu Zhong wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Fu Youde's shaking of his head on the side.

"Your Highness......"

His calm face frowned at the news after all.

"Good...... Seeing that Zhu Gaochu said this, Zhu Gaochi could only let go of his curiosity and walked into the Wuying Hall step by step.

It's just that this brightness didn't keep a breath, and Zhu Yuanzhang vented it out with words:

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to let him step down, although he did not say anything about the disposal of Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, but with Zhu Gaoxu's experience, these two can be safe for at least a while.

Zhu Yunwen was very indifferent, but Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi were unclear, so they just watched it lively.

Every time the Ming army went on a northern expedition, the Mongols in Mobei immediately fled westward, and then in a few years, they would pull more troops back to Mobei than before the west, and continue to attack and harass the Ming army's various guards in Monan, Modong and Gansu.

Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he could enter the hall, but he also knew that there were more serious things waiting for him in the future.

Therefore, whether it is Zhu Shangbing or Zhu Jixi, they are very curious about Zhu Gaoxu's situation after this incident.

Zhu Gaoxu told him the highlight moments of the Timurid Empire that he remembered, but in fact, the Timurid Empire at this moment did not even reach half of this string of data.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yan's second son, Xu asks to see you."

From Lao Zhu's attitude, Zhu Gaoxu already knew that he didn't want to kill Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, but he couldn't stand Zhu Li's constant death.

Anyway, if today, if you dare to talk to the emperor like this, he is probably the first person other than Qin Jinyan and the fourth vassal king.

However, Zhu Yunwen still felt that this matter was just Zhu Gaoxu's nonsense, how could there be a place in the Yellow Sands in the northwest that could support 300,000 soldiers and horses and 20 million people.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want Fu Youde and Feng Sheng to die because of the stupid things done by his uncles, he had to find a way to save their lives.

This lame Great Khan, who resounded throughout Central Asia and Eastern Europe, was nothing more than a remote area for the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Gaoxu also nodded, and then turned around and walked outside the palace.

"The matter of the Ministry of Rites' envoy to Timur has been put on hold for the time being."

"If you haven't finished studying, you can go to the Song Guogong Mansion to continue your studies."

It's just that in the face of such an atmosphere, Zhu Gaoxu still said his thoughts......

The regret in this incident is that Timur died of illness before he arrived in the Western Regions, and after his death, the Timurid Empire fell into civil strife and had to submit to the Ming Dynasty again in name and continue to maintain tribute.

He didn't know if this was a lie that Zhu Gaoxu was pulling in order to get himself down, or if it was a fact that really existed.

Here, he saw Zhu Gaoxu, who had been waiting for a quarter of an hour, and at this moment, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were only lost when he walked.

Just when Zhu Yunwen was dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxu, looking at Zhu Gaochu who walked out of the hall, Zhu Gaochi also hurriedly greeted him, and Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi, who were not far away, were surprised, as if they didn't expect Zhu Gaochu to come out so calmly.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhu Gaoxu responded to Zhu Yunwen's question:

"Big brother, it's better for you to call me second brother in the future......"

At this scale, I'm afraid that if I can't even beat Suzhou City, I will die in the Mohai Sea of the Western Regions.

In his anxiety, he also lost his way into the Wuying Palace, and came to the door of the side hall to make a gesture:

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how the Mongols in Mobei pulled out so many people from the west, but now Zhu Gaoxu's words gave him an idea.

"If Sun Er didn't guess wrong, then Timur should have already sent an envoy here, but this time the envoy sent is the same as before, it is still to spy on my Ming intelligence, and at the same time prepare for his eastward invasion."

"You stand down first."

The others in this hall may not know, but their grandfather and grandson know each other's thoughts, there is nothing to hide, and they are just acting to the outside world.

Zhu Gaoxu's tone was very heavy, which made Zhu Yunwei look at him in surprise, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting in the seat, and his calm eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Fortunately, wars broke out between the Ottomans and the Mamluks of Egypt and the Timurid Empire, and the war was postponed for only five years.

After he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even raise his eyelids, still looking at the music in his hand that he had already finished.

At this moment, his grandfather showed a little thought on his face, obviously very attentive to Zhu Gaoxu's words.

Because the Ming Dynasty incorporated the Hexi Corridor into its territory in this year, Timur was actually the first country among the Mongol khanates to recognize the Ming Dynasty and send an embassy to Minagong, and Zhu Yuanzhang also had a good impression of him.

Fu Rang's words came out, but no one responded, and in the end he had to wave the hem of his clothes and sit on the side angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak first, so the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and Zhu Yunwen, who had gone through the blue jade case, couldn't help but feel a little dull.

couldn't kill Zhu Li, so Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to kill these people to cut off Zhu Li's wings.

"Grandpa......"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the place where Zhu Gaoxu left.

Perhaps, there were still a large number of Mongols in the land west of Moxi and the Western Regions, and Timur was just one of them.

Such a move was seen by Zhu Yunwen and the four of them.

Before he was sure of the truth of this matter, even his imperial grandfather did not dare to bet.

"......" Hearing the familiar title, Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to correct it, so he could only shake his head: "I'm not reckless, if I'm reckless, how can I get out safely?" ”

In the face of the reminder, Zhu Gaoxu walked to a position seven steps away from Zhu Yuanzhang and stopped, and said again:

"Thank you!" Zhu Gaoxu took the handkerchief and said in a solemn tone.

The only person who showed a worried expression when passing by Zhu Gaochu's side was undoubtedly his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi.

"I'll talk about it when I'm ready." Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was walking towards him with flat eyes.

"Gao Xu! Don't be rude! ”

Zhu Yunwen's tone was businesslike, but Zhu Gaochi had a hint of urgency.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang speak, although everyone was surprised, they still got up to salute and walked out afterwards.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Yunwen knew that he would not be able to kill Feng Sheng and Fu Youde in a short period of time.

It's just that when passing by Zhu Gaochi's side, they still reminded Zhu Gaochi.

"Grandpa, my grandson's art of war hasn't been learned yet!"

"Slave maid...... This is the word of communication. ”

What Zhu Gaoxu said is the truth, but it is all something that has not happened yet.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was a person who came from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he naturally knew how extensive the scope of activities of the Mongols was.

These things are all things that Zhu Gaoxu remembers more clearly.

After just a few breaths, there were only three people left in the side hall: Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Gaoxu.

Liuke Corridor, Sanlong Bridge, Wuyingmen......

Yisha took out a coarse cloth handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu, suggesting that he tidy up his appearance.

"Brother Xu, you can't just say this!"

"Biography" Zhu Yuanzhang heard the voice he wanted to hear, so he closed the music and opened his mouth to Yisha, who had also bowed down at the door of the hall for a long time.

There is no longer Zhu Gaochu there, but he still feels that Zhu Gaochu is there, and it seems that he will come out from time to time and express himself little by little.

"Just by these three words, as well as the previous actions of Timur's envoys, Sun Er dares to be sure."

Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed his brows slightly, he naturally wouldn't believe that Zhu Gaoxu would talk nonsense about such a thing, but at least this matter gave him a step, a step to block his grandson's mouth.

Faced with a force that could gather 300,000 troops to invade the east, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what to do.

"Second brother, you can't be so reckless in the future."

His expression was neither humble nor arrogant, which surprised and admired everyone.

"Grandchildren retire ......"

This method can't be found, so even if Lao Zhu doesn't want to kill them anymore, he has to use the knife for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and he must come up with a way ahead of Lao Zhu......

As long as the state envoys were detained, Zhu Yuanzhang could naturally guess what Timur had in mind.

As for this matter, it was far beyond his ability, and at this moment, he could only hope that Zhu Gaoxu would not be carried away and say anything disrespectful.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes dimmed a little, and he seemed to be sad about the actions of Zhu Li and Zhu Hu.

Zhu Yunwen interrupted Zhu Gaochu in a hurry, not only because he wanted Fu Youde to die, but also because he felt that Zhu Gaoxu's words were ridiculous.

"In the future, if you need my help, just ask, but I can help."

In the hall, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's back, Zhu Yunwen's eyelids kept jumping, and he couldn't help but look at his grandfather.

"Where did you hear about this?"

"Daddy......" Fu Zhong's face showed a little sadness, and Fu Rang was also angry: "Our family of seven, which one has not made meritorious service to the imperial court, why did you treat us like this!" ”

It's a pity that not long after the matter was completed, Timur detained Fu An and sent people to take Fu An through tens of thousands of miles in the Western Regions, in order to exaggerate the strength of the Timurid Empire, hoping to deter Fu An and force him to surrender to lead the way.

"Just by the words of the captives of the north?" Zhu Yunwen only felt that Zhu Gaochu was too childish, but Zhu Gaochu nodded firmly:

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have so many sensational words, so he could only choose a more practical repayment, and he also returned the gift to express his gratitude when he saw this.

After that, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandson heard that the imperial court was preparing to send Fu An and Guo Ji to envoy Timur, but Grandson thought that this was no longer necessary. ”

"The grandson is leaving." Zhu Gaoxu bowed, then turned around and walked out of the side hall.

When Zhu Gaochi saw them enter the Wuying Palace, he wanted to stay and ask Zhu Gaochu what happened, but Zhu Gaochu saw his thoughts, shook his head and said:

"Grandpa Huang, Gao Xu is still waiting outside......

Not to mention anything else, it is enough to say that there were more than ten northern expeditions during the Hongwu period, but the Mongols still continued to pour in from the west.

Zhu Li will not die no matter what he does, but he will kill Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and others.

For him, his second brother has changed too much, so big that he doesn't dare to recognize him.

If it weren't for the defeat of his grandson at the Indus River, the battle would have been fought by him himself, and then my crusade would have happened earlier.

"How can Your Highness be like this? The slave and maid were terrified......"

After watching it for a long time, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief while letting go:

Time seemed to pass quickly at this time, and Zhu Gaoxu soon saw the Wuying Hall on the white marble platform.

Zhu Gaoxu made a fuss, and Lao Zhu didn't embarrass him twice in front of so many people, but his words were a little dissatisfied: "I didn't send you to the palace today, what's the matter?" Too many days of disgust for Mu Xiu? ”

However, he was more curious about this matter, where did Zhu Gaoxu hear about it.

His body was already weak, and he didn't do any equestrian or riding and archery sports all year round, so he bowed down for half an hour, only to feel that his waist and arms were almost no longer his own, and the place where he bowed his head was also dripping with sweat.

If Zhu Gaoxu is not mistaken, in fact, Timur only used the envoy to spy on the Ming Dynasty, and he already had a plan to go east.

Yishaha has a good sense of Zhu Gaoxu, so he is naturally willing to pass it on to him, and Zhu Gaoxu, who heard the words, also let go of his hand and saluted Yisha.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts could not change because of Zhu Gaoxu's words, because his words were too far-fetched to convince himself or his grandson Zhu Yunwen.

Looking at his back, Zhu Gaoxu only felt that his life was like a year at the moment.

Yisha didn't dare to slack off, and after returning the salute, he turned around and went to the hall to spread the word.

In just a quarter of an hour, he came to Xihua Gate, and after handing over the red horse to the Xihua Gate guard, he couldn't wait to rush to Wuying Palace.

"Your Highness, wipe your sweat before you go in."

"Except for the grandson, you all quit first."

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, Zhu Yunwen interrupted him: "That Timur sent a messenger in his early years, and in his population, Timur is just a small country with more than a million people, and besides, it is separated by the Yellow Sand Gobi from my Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away, how can he invade eastward?" ”

Since Song Sheng entered Beijing, there was no general in Gansu, and Fu Youde and Feng Sheng naturally couldn't be killed.

Fu Youde knows very well that only Zhu Gaochu can save them at the moment, if Zhu Gaochu can't save them, then he Fu Youde really deserves to die.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said a Mongolian name, which made Zhu Yunwen stunned, but he quickly reacted and turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, when passing by Zhu Gaoxu's side, they couldn't help but glance at Zhu Gaoxu curiously.

"Tell grandpa, Yan Yan's second son Xu asks to see!"

If it weren't for the Mongols in the west to continue the life of the Mongols in Mobei, Mobei would have been emptied by the Ming army long ago.

In this way, even if Timur had 20 million troops, the army that could sustain the eastward invasion was only tens of thousands.

He exaggerated Timur's strength at this time, and also successfully attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just that this doesn't affect these words, because even if Lao Zhu wants to send someone to spy on intelligence, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to go around, and at that time Timur was ready for the Eastern Crusade and detained the envoys of all countries.

When the eunuch who passed the message saw that Zhu Gaoxu was going to the palace, he hurriedly flattered him, ignoring Fu Youde and the others.

Zhu Gaochi was very nervous, but he couldn't sit down, so he could only continue to maintain the movement of bowing down, standing in place in a daze.

In the eyes of Zhu Yunwen and the other four people and the eunuchs in the palace, his actions seemed to be suffering from some kind of madness.

"If nothing else, he will soon marry the daughter of the Black Son of Fire, and then invade my Ming Dynasty in the east."

"Your Highness, the slave will accompany you back to the palace."

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was calm at this moment, and he didn't feel anything wrong because of this name.

However, only Zhu Gaoxu knows these things, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others never know, so only he can use this information.

"Good ......" Zhu Gaochi nodded, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's arms, and looked left and right, as if he wanted to see if Zhu Gaochu was intact.

Even if he no longer knows how to march and fight, he also knows that it takes three people to send troops to travel 200 miles.

"You ask people to check and see if Timur really has tens of millions of people and 300,000 soldiers and horses as Gao Xu said."

Looking at the expression on Zhu Gaochu's face, Zhu Gaochi only felt a deep helplessness and frustration.

"Grandpa, you know what your grandson is going to say, and your grandson knows what you will say, but your grandson still has to say ......"

Perhaps thinking that the time was almost up, Zhu Yunwen got up and said: "The sun outside is scorching, let Gao Xu come in." ”

What Zhu Yuanzhang was most worried about in his life was the division between the north and the south within the Han people, and whether the northern Mongols would make a comeback.

"Dick!"

He could see from Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to kill Fu Youde and Feng Sheng at this time, and what he said just gave him a step down.

After a few months of care, Chiyu is much taller than when he was sent before, and he can also trot with Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu did not say it directly, but gave Zhu Yuanzhang a face.

"Slave and maid command" also bowed for a quarter of an hour, only feeling that his body was sore, but he still supported his body, slowly straightened up, and turned around and walked towards the temple door with a painful expression.

It was now the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, and Zhu Gaoxu remembered that next year the Ming Dynasty would send Fu An to lead a diplomatic mission from the Ministry of Rites to Samarkand to discuss diplomatic relations with Timur.

"......" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

"No one told the grandson, but the grandson knew from the fact that he had asked the captives in Beiping in his early years." Zhu Gaoxu replied calmly, because he couldn't say a better excuse.

"It's not ......" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, straightened up without Zhu Yuanzhang opening his mouth, put down his hand, and walked straight to the hall.

If you want to keep Fu Youde, you must reflect Fu Youde's value, so as to give Lao Zhu an excuse to fool the past.

In the Yingguo Mansion, it seemed that it had become the same dead silence a few months ago, and Zhu Gaoxu was riding a red horse to Xihuamen.

Compared with him, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the door, a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with the excuse that Zhu Gaoxu found for himself.

His voice sounded in the hall, and at this moment, it was past the time of lunch break and noon, and Zhu Yuanzhang was taking his four grandchildren to manage the government in the palace.

Zhu Gaochi didn't understand why his grandfather would snub Zhu Gaochu, but in the identity of the eldest brother, he still got up and said:

At the entrance of the hall, Yishaha, who was on duty, looked at Zhu Gaochu who came in a hurry, and subconsciously stopped him, wanting to ask him what happened, but Zhu Gaoxu grabbed his arm, and the force was like two iron tongs.

It's just that although these two grandparents and grandchildren knew, Zhu Gaochu's action still made Zhu Yunwen a little nervous, and Zhu Gaochi and the three of them didn't dare to breathe, only when Zhu Gaochu was pampered and arrogant, and his brain was confused.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that in the face of Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head slightly and looked sideways at Zhu Jixi:

He knew very well that if he just messed around like this, then no matter how much Lao Zhu liked him, he would not think that he was more important than the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi saw Zhu Gaoxu walk out safely, although they were a little curious, they still held back.

Watching him leave until he disappeared, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saluted to a corner: "Thank you." ”

After Zhu Gaoxu and the eunuch left, Fu Youde sat on the main seat of the main hall, as if he was a few years older.

"This is also ......" Zhu Gaochi nodded subconsciously, and he was also very curious about what Zhu Gaochu said to his imperial grandfather, but he was not punished at all, and he did not even reprimand loudly.

What's more, he didn't believe that there could be a 'tribe' with more than 20 million people in that land full of yellow sand.

"Grandson leads the ......" Even though he knew, Zhu Yunwen still did not show any dissatisfaction, but obediently responded.

"Alas......" With helplessness and frustration, Zhu Gaochi left the side hall with everyone.

"That Timur had already conquered Persia and the river, and he wanted to marry the daughter of the fire Khan of Beshbalihe, and wanted Beshbali to prepare food for his eastward invasion."

Right now, as long as the third and fifth don't involve the two in the bureau again, then these two may be able to live until they die.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Gaochi scolded him in unison, but their attitudes were not the same.

The fact is also that the Timurid Empire is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the intelligence on both sides knows very little, so the Ming Dynasty does not know the Timurid Empire, and they do not know the news that the Timurid Empire wants to go east.

This lasted for half an hour, but Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Jixi both noticed that something was wrong this time, and Zhu Gaochi, who was bowing down, was already sweating.

Hurriedly wiping his sweat, Zhu Gaoxu raised his legs and walked into the Wuying Palace, and after a few breaths, he came to the door of the side hall and bowed: "Grandson Zhu Gaoxu, see grandpa." ”

"Does Grandpa know Timur......"

"I can't say anything about this, you should continue to govern in the Wuying Palace."

"Let's go inside."

As early as September of the twentieth year of Hongwu, Timur sent Manrakhafisi and others to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and presented fifteen Central Asian war horses as tribute horses, as well as two white camels.

As a last resort, he didn't want to kill Fu Youde and Feng Sheng.

Of course, all of this has to be based on the premise that Zhu Gaoxu did not lie.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang gave an answer, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but clench his fists, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind.

Listening to this title, Zhu Gaochu, who had just walked out of the hall, had a black line and corrected Zhu Gaochi's title.

In the following years, Timur sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty from time to time, behaving harmlessly to humans and animals, so in the eyes of the current Ming monarchs and ministers, Timur was not harmful.

Zhu Gaoxu's words, no matter how confident Zhu Yuanzhang was, he had to send someone to investigate.

Zhu Yuanzhang explained again, and Zhu Yunwen also took advantage of the situation, after all, he also knew that if Timur was really as Zhu Gaoxu said, I am afraid that the system of the Cypriot king would be even more unshakable.

Regarding Zhu Gaoxu's arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any surprised expression, but looked indifferently at the music in his hand, and at the same time picked up the teacup and took a sip of tribute tea.

Zhu Gaoxu and Yishaha looked at each other, there was a bit of anger in that gaze, and Yizha swallowed his saliva when he saw it.

Yishiha, who was standing in the corner, didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to express his gratitude to himself and hurriedly returned the gift.

Yingguo Mansion can't go, but he needs to go to Song Guogong's Mansion and tell Feng Sheng about today's events, so that Feng Sheng can analyze the situation for himself.

"I'm afraid grandpa doesn't know, this Timur has more than 20 million people, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and is already preparing to invade my Ming Dynasty in the east......
