The wind in October has been slightly cold, especially in the steamy Jiangnan, which is even more humid in the cold.

Walking on the square of Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's footsteps were quite steady, and Li Jinglong behind him was one position behind him, following him at a distance of half a step.

"You should be a little more concerned about the affairs of Pingwei, and if you have any requirements, just mention them to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said as he walked, and said by the way: "I wanted you to sit in Yunnan, but you also know that if you are too far away, I will not be at ease in the northwest." ”

"Although Yun Gong is also in the north all the year round, he is not as thoughtful as you after all."

"It's okay this time, let him go out of town in Yunnan, learn a few years of experience and come back, I think it will be a lot calmer."

His words with Li Jinglong are no different from his own grandson, which shows that he really regards Li Jinglong as his grandson.

For his trust, Li Jinglong has never lived up to it, whether it is to crusade against Naha, or to go out of the northwest of the town to prepare for the border, he has done everything very well.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang often sends more and more important things to him to do, and Xu Huizu assists him like a deputy.

Now that Xu Huizu is out of Yunnan and controls more than 100,000 troops in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that Li Jinglong will have other thoughts, so he specially explained to him and comforted him.

The north wind was biting, and when a civil official dressed in a long history costume walked into a wood, he walked towards a colorful crowd and handed the letter to a man in his thirties who was studying the trees.

Shaking his head, Zhu Hu left the matter about Zhu Youstew behind, and then commented on the letter in Changshi's hand:

Yes, if you want to say who sees people most accurately in this world, he Zhu Yuanzhang recognizes the first, then no one dares to recognize the second.

"That's it, let him go, the old man is still ...... anyway"

"The poor monk sees that His Royal Highness will be able to return to the north soon, but the poor monk can't figure out where he will return."

Li Jinglong didn't ask who it was, because he knew better than anyone who Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask most now.

Zhu Yunwen's kid doesn't have such courage and means, such a situation can only show that his emperor's father helped him.

For Zhu Youstew, he really has no qualifications to educate the other party, and even if he hadn't won the favor of his father, he probably wouldn't have returned to Kaifeng from Yunnan so quickly.

Facing the letter handed by Changshi, the man did not take it immediately, but observed the tree in front of him.

"Then Your Highness should pay attention, it's best to play a play for the grandson to make it easier."

He called on many literati who knew how to study agriculture with them to study the crops in the school.

"What's more, the matter of Pingwei is enough to keep the ministers busy, how can they still think of going out of Yunnan?"

"Back to Your Highness, there is absolutely no way to ......" Changshi had already read the contents of the letter, shook his head and vetoed:

"Yes!" The young Zhang Fuzuo responded, turned around and passed the word.

After getting the answer, Zhu Di hurriedly shook his head: "I don't want to do that set of things." ”

Hearing him ridiculing the emperor, everyone bowed their heads and said that they didn't hear it, only Yao Guangxiao changed the topic:

It's a pity that his ingenuity has disappeared since he returned to Kaifeng, and he spends his days in the prince's mansion with a group of prostitutes and musicians, and also writes many repertoire and plays.

After Li Jinglong's words were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

At the end of the letter, the elders of the three mansions of Qin, Jin, and Yan entered the Wuying Palace, and the matter of the two mansions of Susong in Jiangnan using money to deduct taxes was also written.

Rao is the emperor, but in detail, he is just an old man.

"If the grandson is aware of it, then with the current performance of His Royal Highness II, I am afraid that he will soon be excluded from Nanjing City."

"It's okay now, Gao Xu invited Li Jinglong's guy out to pacify the widows, I believe that those gangsters will be exterminated soon."

It's just a pity, looking at the current appearance, I'm afraid that my father has already shifted his mind to Zhu Gaoxu, as for his own son......

"!!Uhh

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sensitive, turned sideways and looked back, only to see the back of Li Jinglong walking away.

Zhu Yuanzhang feels very happy about his thoughts from time to time, perhaps because he thinks of Zhu Wenzheng back then.

"In this way, there will be no direct contradictions and conflicts between him and the Taisun, and all that remains is the weight of His Royal Highness in His Majesty's heart."

He is not a stingy person, if Zhu Yunwen won him by his own means, he Zhu Li would not say anything even if he lost, but the problem is that this 'tax deduction with money' is obviously a ploy of Zhu Gaoxu's kid, but now it has been transferred to Zhu Yunwen.

The sound of the teacup breaking made everyone's hearts tighten, and Zhu Li also stood up and walked in front of them menacingly, glaring at them condescendingly: "He is the son of Zhu Laosi, not my son, what do you care about him?" Do you want to change the prince's service?! ”

The sneering sound of flesh and blood and the roar of the fan resounded throughout the cell, and the head of the Qin Palace, Shi couldn't stand it, so he had to turn his head and walk out of the cell.

"Don't let him go home yet?" Zhu Di's expression was uncomfortable, but he also knew that Zhu Gaochu was too good at the moment, and if Zhu Gaochu was allowed to follow Zhu Di, I was afraid that it would cause Yanfuwei to be too big.

"My dolls, I guess they should also get the news......"

Zhu Li clenched his fists, and there was another brother of his hundreds of miles away, who was also clenching his fist.

That person didn't know what mistakes he had made, and he had been tortured by Zhu Zhang.

He can't accept such days, let alone Zhu Rong's short-sightedness.

In the palace of King Qin in Xi'an, Zhu Fan threw the letter in his hand into the stove on the side, and while muttering in his mouth, he picked up a soldering iron in his hand.

In the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, if the king of the county dared to disobey the emperor, even if it was his own grandson, I am afraid that he would end up in a situation where he would be degraded to the common people.

"What the poor monk wants to ask His Highness is... Do you want to let the second highness come down to the north? ”

Of course, the reason why he thought he could ascend to the position of prince was because of his most favored son of three generations.

"Zhang Fu, you send someone to send a message to the seventeenth and fifteenth brothers, and ask them to be careful of the Wuliangha and Jurchen going south to plunder, if they are invaded by this group of barbarians, write a letter to me for help, and I will bring someone to pacify them!"

"Hehe......" Yao Guangxiao used laughter to hide himself, and at the same time said:

While he was looking, the man in his thirties also talked to several literati next to him: "This pomegranate tree has produced forty-six catties of fruit this year, seven or eight catties more than other pomegranate trees, you can take a look at it, and it is best to figure out why it bears so many pomegranates." ”

As for Zhu Gaochu's rescue of Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, Zhu Li is not a fool, he doesn't believe that Zhu Gaochu is trying to save these two people for nothing, that kid is obviously also a guy with a bad stomach, just like his father!

Standing in front of him, the head of the Jin Palace, Shi and several subordinate officials also had extremely ugly faces, just because they all knew what the credit of using money to offset taxes represented.

"Such a person, what ...... keep him for," Zhu Fan said as he walked up to the man with a red-hot soldering iron and branded him in front of him.

However, Zhu Hu has nothing to say about these, after all, he is also "not doing his job" at the moment, but it is not good to say that Zhu has stew.

It's just that Zhu Li is depressed at the moment, and the whole person is trembling with anger.

When he saw this back, Zhu Yuanzhang still thought of Zhu Gaoxu, maybe the more people around him were separated from him, the more he wanted Zhu Gaoxu, who had no sense of distance from him.

"Say your mother's head!" Zhu Li grabbed the teacup on the table and wanted to fall to Changshi, but the restraint in his heart made him throw the cup to the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer thinks about Zhu Gaoxu, and this deliberate avoidance is enough to explain a lot.

Thinking of this, Changshi and his subordinate officials looked at Zhu Li one after another, wondering what Zhu Li was going to do.

"Old man?" Hearing the words of his own patriarch, the man was stunned.

Because of this, after receiving permission to return to Kaifeng two years ago, he had many yards for growing crops in the house.

"The fourth doll is suffering......

Zhu Hu researched and searched for so many crops, in order to let the people know what wild crops can satisfy hunger and what kind of crops can fill their stomachs during the famine years.

"The grounding isn't serious! It's been two months, old monk! ”

As a result, when it came to Lao Zhu's house, the mere grounding was simply not enough to worry about, not to mention that judging from the information obtained by Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaoxu himself seemed to be complacent, and his Royal Highness was obviously a little worried.

"Su Song's second mansion used money to offset taxes, he didn't get any credit, and he was grounded for helping Ying Guogong speak, which is really ......"

As for the matter of Nanjing City, although he still had ideas, he knew that as long as his father was still alive, his thoughts would not be exposed for a day, so he disguised himself.

It's just that no matter how powerful he is, he can't interfere with his son's future......

"Your Highness, it's snowing......"

Seeing this, Changshi looked curiously, only to realize that it was a pomegranate tree.

Similar to what he guessed, the news of Jiangnan recently was indeed sent to the northern feudal domains one by one.

Not only him, but almost everyone on the arrow tower looked at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also put away the hippie smile from before, and his face became calm.

However, Li Jinglong didn't care about this: "Yungong went to Yunnan, and it was a decision made under a lot of pressure to come to Your Majesty. ”

"Come on, come on...... Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, the two of you said, is it possible for us to have gold and silver mines in Yanshan in the north......

"......" heard what his son had done, Zhu Hu's forehead was bruised, but after a while, he lost his temper again.

At this moment, he was in the cell in the palace of King Qin, and in the corner of the dim cell, a person tied to a shelf became the third living person in this prison besides Zhu Fan and the civil officials on the side.

"How do you think he ......?"

Zhang Yu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, looked at the flying snow falling in the sky, and at the same time looked at Zhu Di.

"Zhu... Second Highness? Changshi almost called him by his name, and while he hurriedly changed his words, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Li, obviously he thought that Zhu Li said the wrong name, but how could someone like Zhu Li say the wrong thing.

Zhu Hu sneered, smiled and shook his head: "If the fourth brother knew that Gao Xu actually helped Zhu Li's house, I don't know what his expression would be." ”

Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Neng looked at each other, and they also bowed their heads and snickered, but Zhu Di was still thinking with great interest about asking Zhu Gaoxu to find a few gold and silver mines for him, as if this arrow tower had become a big stage for him to make a fortune in the future.

At the same time as he left the prison, Zhu Li of Taiyuan also got the news from Jiangnan.

"Your Highness wants Your Highness to return to the north?" Yao Guangxiao asked knowingly, and Zhu Di also put away the discomfort on his face: "You are fooling me again, Gao Xu is like that, who will rest assured that he will be put back, my father probably does not agree, it is right to leave him in Nanjing as a hostage." ”

Unlike Zhu Rong, when Zhu Li saw the content of the letter, his face immediately became extremely ugly.

Seeing this, the contents of the letter had already been read by the man, and he also handed the letter to Changshi after reading it, and said as he shuttled through the bare fruit groves with his hands behind his back:

"Portions?" Zhu Di was like a tiger with fried hair, and turned his head to look at Yao Guangxiao: "Old monk, are you confused?" My father has grounded Gao Xu for almost two months. ”

"It's just grounding......" Yao Guangxiao reminded helplessly, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang was too good to his children and grandchildren, so that Zhu Di and others felt that grounding was a very serious punishment.

Speaking of which, the identity of the man is also very obvious.

"Your Highness... It's still a little bit of a deal. Yao Guangxiao didn't expect Zhu Di to react so quickly this time, but he also admitted his thoughts and didn't sell it.

"But now the prince has only entered the Wuying Palace......" Changshi reminded carefully, but Zhu Li turned around and said coldly: "Build momentum for Zhu Gaoxu!" ”

Zhu Di looked back at the snowflakes that had fallen outside the city, and at this moment he once again became the king of the north who guarded the north for the Ming Dynasty.

However, in the content here, Su Song's second mansion used money to offset taxes but became the merit of Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the East Palace, while Zhu Gaoxu was grounded because of Fu Youde's affair, and now two months have passed.

Yao Guangxiao's black robe was blown by the cold wind, and with his kind face, it was a little weird.

"The ministers don't dare to ......" Changshi and many subordinate officials bowed their heads, Zhu Li looked at their appearance, and turned around angrily to hide his hideous expression.

Looking at him like this, Shi Shi, the head of the Qin Wangfu next to him, couldn't bear to say: "Your Highness, this person has been in Xi'an for more than ten years, and it is normal to not know where the Fanren tribe in the west moves, why do you ......"

Anyway, they all take what they need, and they don't have to feel guilty about doing anything to him.

For the vassal kings who are not concubines, what they need to do is to keep to themselves and obey the orders of the imperial court.

"The Second Highness of the Yan Mansion not only passed the test of Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong, but also studied with Lao Guogong and Ying Guogong for several months, and Lao Guogong praised him."

But the bitter north wind blew away his words, and he himself stopped his babbling mouth, and turned to look north.

Obviously, he was born to him, why should he help a grandson......

He didn't discuss other topics with Li Jinglong, but returned to Wuying Hall after going around Wuying Square.

Zhu Di shouted, but Yao Guangxiao knew his temperament, and he was not angry, but continued with a smile:

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little cloudy, and he turned around and walked towards the side hall, muttering incessantly.

When he saw an article and its content, he immediately frowned, especially when he saw the name of the owner of the last article, his brow almost formed a Sichuan character.

Listening to the louder and louder voices behind him, Shi of the royal palace, who walked out of the prison, clenched his fists, and it seemed that he could not bear such a day.

"In the matter of the Liaodong Central Left Institute, Gao Xu found a good helper for me."

"But what surprised me the most was this kid's ability to see the mountains and mines, not only found Yungong an errand out of Yunnan, but also found so many gold and silver mines for my father."

Li Jinglong looked very open, after all, he was already a great minister now, and even if he got a great credit, it would not have much effect.

Zhu Gaoxu is a good target, after all, he is the most eye-catching person at the moment.

"Jiangnan used money to offset taxes, His Royal Highness did a good job, and took the initiative to hand over the credit to His Majesty, and His Majesty distributed it to the grandson, and he also accepted the gold and silver gift from the grandson."

"I saw ......" Zhu Di responded in a deep voice, but also knew what the heavy snow represented, he turned his head to look at Zhang Fu:

In the palace of the King of Jin, Zhu Li held the letter in one hand and held the armrest of the chair tightly with the other.

Zhu Hu looked at Changshi and asked in a flat tone, "Is the prince studying?" ”

His face was calm, and his eyes were a little cold: "Zhu Yunwen is not very angry, I don't believe that there is no gap between him and Zhu Gaoxu, it is best to let him put his eyes on Yanfu at the moment, don't keep staring at me." ”

But......

With the support of these two squires and wealthy households, it also means that Zhu Yunwen has obtained 10% of the world's taxes.

It was Zhu Fan, who couldn't take his eyes off the howl of the fan, and couldn't help but increase the strength of his hand, making the fanren scream louder.

At this moment, the sky was a little gray, and thick gray clouds gathered, and soon a snowflake began to fall.

"Yes......" The literati around listened to the man's words and responded, and then stepped forward and began to study the pomegranate tree.

He moved out Xu Huizu and Guo Ying, which made Li Jinglong feel a lot more at ease.

"Although I want Gao Xue to come back, I won't gamble with the lives of the people on the side, if Gao Xu can come back, he will come back, and it's okay if he can't come back......."

Zhu Di said his opinion calmly, but Yao Guangxiao looked at him deeply: "Your Highness, there are many things in the world that cannot be decided by yourself. ”

Zhu Di didn't eat him, because he guessed Yao Guangxiao's thoughts: "Old monk, you don't want me to raise Kou's self-respect, put Gao Xu on Kou's side......"

"I've seen Gao Xu's kid before, it's just that he used to like to dance with knives and guns, and ride horses to make trouble, and now he actually wrote this article, are you sure that my fourth brother didn't ask him to ghostwrite?"

"Get that kid Zhu Gaoxu away for me!"

"Your Highness, there is news from Nanjing, I'm afraid you have to take a look."

He knows very well that his father-in-law is not something that everyone can look up to, if Zhu Gaoxu asks someone to write on his behalf, or if he has no skills, then his father-in-law will not praise the other party.

"Lao Fifteen asked me to help him fight the Japanese invaders, but I can't leave Beiping and Daning too far to help him."

He was already very interested in medicine, especially after he was moved to Yunnan because of the idea of competing for the throne, and he saw many pictures of people's livelihood and suffering.

"Of course!" Zhu Di frowned, he hadn't seen Zhu Gaoxu for almost two years, and he missed it tightly.

At the same time as he thought about it, he got news from the Qin Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu hundreds of miles away.

Zhu Di's words drifted around with the wind, and everyone looked at Zhu Di who was a stumbling boy and shook his head with a wry smile, it was difficult to associate him with the person who had traveled thousands of miles to force land in the north a few years ago.

Zhu Li thought very well, he knew that Zhu Yunwen would definitely hit himself hard if he got the momentum, so he had to attract Zhu Yunwen's attention elsewhere in advance.

Taking a deep breath, Changshi quickened the pace of leaving.

"Paying for taxes...... He really made it happen. ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the hall, Li Jinglong repeatedly looked at his back, turned around and left the highest power center of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Li raised his head with red eyes and looked at Changshi and his subordinates, but his request made everyone embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be curious about what Zhu Li and Zhu Di looked like when they got the news from the south.

"Gao Xulu is talented, I don't know how to converge, I'm afraid he has been regarded as a thorn in the side of Taisun, if it weren't for his ability to see mountains and mines, I'm afraid he would have been targeted by Taisun a long time ago."

"Don't know?" Zhu Fan smiled contemptuously: "I think he knows, but he doesn't want to tell us, he doesn't regard himself as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty at all." ”

Shi Xian, the head of the Jin Palace, said with difficulty: "Yan Yan's second son, Xu, helped the old prince speak a few times ago, and we are doing this now, isn't it a bit ...... to fall into the ground?"

While speaking, Zhu Di smiled innocently: "Old monk, you said that I want Gao Xu to find a few gold and silver mines for me after returning to Beiping, you can rest assured, if I have gold and silver mines, I will definitely not treat you badly, and I will give you some money when the time comes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the figure in his memory, but the figure gradually merged with another person, and the last thing that appeared in his mind was Zhu Gaoxu's face.

The north wind is cold, and it is easy to make people blush, but this is nothing to the black-faced Zhu Di, compared to the cold north wind, what his father did to his son made him uncomfortable.

Even if Zhu Yunwen stops promoting the use of banknotes to offset taxes, he only needs to maintain the Susong Second Mansion to use banknotes to offset taxes, then he can gain the support of the squires and wealthy households in Susong Second Mansion.

"This ......" Changshi hesitated, and finally confessed under Zhu Hu's gaze: "The prince of the world, as in the past, summoned some prostitutes and musicians to compose music and make up plays in the prince's mansion......"

Under the light of the fire, Zhu Fan put the soldering iron into the stove, and his face was a little cruel.

Li Jinglong didn't know how to make a specific evaluation of this young man he had only met twice, but in order to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang, he still gave a roughly accurate answer: "The minister can't see through him." ”

"Alright, I don't do that anyway." Zhu Di interrupted Yao Guangxiao, and at the same time took the letter in his hand and said:

"My father is ruthless, and he is so cruel to his grandson......"

Before the long history could react, the man took the envelope in his hand, opened it and read it at a glance.

"Old monk, why don't you speak?"

He said this, but Li Jinglong didn't react at all, but said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Actually...... You can see it better than we can see it, and you already have the answer in your heart. ”

At this moment, he was standing on an arrow tower in Beiping City, followed by Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Yao Guangxiao and the young Zhang Fu.

Zhu Yuanzhang dispelled the picture in his mind, stood in place with his back to Li Jinglong, and asked him.

For a while, Zhu Gaoxu's face appeared in his mind.

If he could explain to his nephew in time and comfort him, maybe his nephew would not have died in his prime.

"I can't see through ......it," Zhu Yuanzhang groaned, and then his body moved again, and he said while walking forward: "You are not the first person to say this, Yun Gong and Guo Si also said the same." ”

"Isn't it just that I want to cut the domain in the future, just let Zhu Yunwen's kid cut it, anyway, I don't have any ideas."

But for the princes who have heavy troops and are in dangerous positions, their minds are active......

"The poor monk said, His Royal Highness is in His Majesty's heart, I'm afraid he already has weight."

Just didn't wait for him to feel at ease, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with a hint of emotion: "It's just that I don't know, you really can't see through it, or you don't dare to tell me ...... if you see through it."

So far, they have found 138 surviving crops in the Materia Medica books of the past dynasties, and recorded and preserved 156 new crops, and the number is still increasing.

As the fifth son of Queen Ma, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, can be said to be one of the few kings who has experienced great ups and downs.

With his back to everyone, he tried his best to suppress his voice and temper: "Let that group of people in Nanjing build momentum for me, don't let that kid Zhu Yunwen gain momentum!" ”
