The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Xu Da led a large family to the front yard and gave a great salute to the monarch and ministers.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Xu Da, "Is your body okay?" ”

"It's still the same." Xu Da waved away everyone and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang, "I made it too powerful when I was young, and now that I'm old, I'm all back." ”

The two of them came to the pavilion and sat down.

"I've seen Wei Guogong." Li Qing hugged his fists and saluted.

"No courtesy." Xu Da bowed his head lightly and turned his eyes to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, looking at these descendants, the minister feels that he is really old, alas, the years are not forgiving." ”

Xu Da is full of white hair, and his figure is still burly, but he is already rickety.

This is the second time Li Qing has seen Xu Da, he has seen it from afar last time when he cried for Queen Ma, and this close contact, he can feel that this first military general of the Ming Dynasty is really old.

"Tiande, the days are long, and I will only enjoy a few days of happiness." Looking at the elderly Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite touched, "You have to take care of your body, don't we even have someone to talk to when the time comes." ”

"Do your best." Xu Da smiled and nodded.

"What is a minister or not, and it is not above the court, and it is still called before." Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily, "My sister is gone, we are feeling more and more lonely now, Tang and that guy said that they were going home to visit relatives, and they haven't come back for more than a year, damn, we have to call him back." ”

Xu Da smiled and said, "I envy him, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my body couldn't withstand the toss, I would like to go back to my hometown to live for a while." ”

"What? Do you want to hide from us? ”

"Oh, my old brother!" Xu Da shouted again and again, "When did I avoid you?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face softened, looking at Xu Da, who was full of old age, he couldn't bear to scare him anymore, and said softly: "Take care of your body, wait a minute, let's have a good drink." ”

"yes, okay."

The two talked for a while, and Xu Da took the initiative to ask, "Brother didn't just come to see me this time, right?" ”

"Something's true." Zhu Yuanzhang said mysteriously, "I'll show you something good." ”

As he spoke, he took out the map from his big sleeve, "Open it and take a look." ”

Xu Da nodded suspiciously, unfolded the map on the stone table, and when he saw the content clearly, he suddenly burst out in surprise, "This is the topographic map of the Mobei grassland?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The red line marks the route to the main force of the Yuan people. ”

"Okay!" Xu Da couldn't pull out his eyes, "Fighting the Yuan people is not about defeating them, as long as you can find them, you will win."

Big brother, whose hand is this? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin at Li Qing, "That's him." ”

Xu Da looked at Li Qing and praised: "This map is more useful than tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you are very good." ”

"The prince of the country praised it falsely." Li Qing hurriedly said a few words modestly.

Xu Da smiled and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother, I'm really old, I can't move!" ”

"Look at you." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be in charge, and you can't make an idea?" ”

"Uhh......hh ”

"Then who do you think is the right person to be in charge?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I'll ...... this" Xu Da instinctively wanted to excuse himself, but he paused in the middle of his words, thinking about it for a while, "Since the old brother asked, then I have something to say." ”

After a pause, "External actions do not avoid hatred, internal actions do not avoid relatives, I recommend Yan Wang Zhu Di to be in charge." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Di'er, he is still young, although he has dealt with the Yuan people, but after all, he is immature, and his prestige in the army is not high, so he is not suitable!" ”

"Then send a veteran to be the manager." Xu Dadao, "Big brother, these brothers who fight the world are old, it's time to train the next generation." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered a little and nodded lightly: "This is also true, um... Okay, then let Zhu Di fight this battle. ”

Li Qing quietly glanced at Xu Da, to be honest, the latter's recommendation surprised him very much.

The internal move does not avoid relatives, Li'er is such a reason, but your upright son-in-law, aren't you afraid of Lao Zhu's taboo?

Xu Da is the head of the Six Princes, people of this rank, shouldn't think of this?

After determining the candidate, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer talked about the military situation, but reminisced about the old and recalled the eventful years of the past.

It wasn't until late in the evening that he left by dragon.

Xu Da looked at the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's departure, stunned, for a long time, and sighed softly.

The eldest son, Xu Huizu, stepped forward to pick him up and whispered, "Father, you shouldn't recommend your brother-in-law, this... It's a taboo. ”

"Hehe......" Xu Da smiled bitterly, "You can understand things, how can you not understand as a father?" ”

"Then why did my father ......?"

"Why don't you want to think about it, why did the emperor ask me to recommend candidates?"

"Because you are the head of the Six Princes?" Xu Huizu said tentatively.

"No, because I'm the father-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan."

Xu Huizu was surprised, "Father, what do you mean...... The emperor originally wanted his brother-in-law to be in charge? ”

"That's right."

Xu Huizu was even more confused, "Since the emperor already has a favorite candidate, why do you have to come all the way to let you recommend it?" ”

"Because...... Alas. Xu Da smiled bitterly, "The emperor is not worried about our family, and now he has taken the initiative to hand him a handle for his father, which can facilitate the emperor to settle accounts after the autumn." ”

"Huh?" Xu Huizu's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Father, you... If you already know this, why did you give it away? ”

"Take the initiative to send the handle and see each other sincerely, and the emperor will be much more relieved." Xu Da sighed, "If you have a handle, it is easy to rectify, and for the emperor, it is not a trouble for people who are easy to rectify." ”

"On the contrary, the unhandled ones are the troubles." Xu Da said seriously, "Son, remember, if the emperor wants to rectify a person, and this person has no handle to catch, then this person must be unlucky."

Because such a person will only commit one sin, and that is 'rebellion'. ”

"Child...... Remembered. Xu Huizu finally understood what it meant to be a companion like a tiger, and he was worried, "Father, will the emperor take action against our family?" ”

"Probably not." Xu Da patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much. ”

Xu Huizu's brain was a little insufficient, "Didn't you just say that the emperor is not at ease with our family?" ”

"Haha......"

Xu Da suddenly smiled, laughed for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, he is not at ease with anyone."

……

"Li Qing."

"The minister is here."

"After we go back, we will draw up a will, Ming'er, you go to the palace and take it, go to Beiping to announce the decree, and you will also go to this battle."

"Huh? This ......" Li Qing was really convinced, and scolded secretly: "Don't let me rest for a day, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a Jinyi envoy, this is not appropriate, right?" Li Qing was embarrassed, "Besides, the ministers won't fight!" ”

"You're really lifting yourself up." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, "I don't know what to do." ”

After a pause, "Do you think we let you go to war?"

We're going to let you gild, and with this trip, it's logical for you to be promoted in the future. ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked surprised, "Emperor Xie cultivates." ”

He secretly drummed: Why did Lao Zhu suddenly be so good to me.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Qing with a grateful look on his face, and said in his heart:

"No thanks, anyway, you are already completely stinky in the civil office, this time you will fight with the generals and nobles, both the civil and military sides will hate you very much, and the entire court will no longer have a place for you, in the future, you will have no way to live except for your life with us, with our target wholeheartedly."

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they looked at each other, and they both grinned.

It presents a picture of gentlemen and ministers, two-way running.
