It was still afternoon when I came out of the woods outside Rotten Man Alley, and it was still early. There was nothing to do, and Xu Ruyi returned to the Liangguo Mansion. It's good to go out for a walk, there's no need to stay any longer. Regarding Yun Zheng's situation, Xu Ruyi is still quite satisfied. Although the sword technique of warding off evil spirits can be regarded as a relatively quick kung fu, being able to practice it to that extent in just over a month shows that Yun Zheng is still working very hard, after all, he has no foundation in him. When he went to find Yun Zheng just now, Xu Ruyi paid careful attention, and no one followed him.

In Lan Chun's study, the little young master Lan Chun was dozing off on the table. Eight or nine-year-olds are playful. They are curious about everything, especially things related to play. The children of the common people should run around at this time, or play with their friends, but Lan Chun cannot. As the young master of the Guogong Mansion, for safety reasons, Mrs. Mu usually doesn't let him go out to play, and he wanders around the mansion casually, but the people are respectful to Lan Chun, which makes him feel very bored. Most of the time, Lan Chun still stays in the study, not because he likes it, but because his husband has to teach here every day. Now the previous Mr. Fang has left, but he is still honestly staying in the study today, it is already a little late, he has stayed from the morning until or until now. The reason is to wait for Xu Ruyi to come back and tell him a story.

"Why haven't you come back yet," Lan Chun sat up, shaking his two little arms vigorously, no way, he had been lying on his stomach for too long, and his arms were a little numb.

As he was muttering, the door of the study opened, and Xu Ruyi returned.

"You're back, I've been waiting for you for a long time" Lan Chun cheered and jumped up excitedly.

Xu Ruyi shook his head helplessly, "Have you been waiting?

"Well, I've been reading a book, and I'm tired. Lan Chun nodded vigorously, looking at Xu Ruyi with pitiful eyes, the child's meaning is very simple: I behaved so well today, you have to talk a little more.

Looking at the red marks on Lan Chun's face, as well as the sleepy eyes, Xu Ruyi was angry and funny. Walking to the small table on the side, Xu Ruyi reached out and poured himself a glass of water.

"Okay" Xu Ruyi thought about it, it's good to tell a story, after all, the work of teaching is not your own work" Yesterday I said that Zhang Liang met an old man on the bridge。。。。。 ”

The crisp sound of storytelling slowly echoed in the study, and the few maids around Xiao Lanchun who were waiting also pricked up their ears and listened attentively。。。。。。

Lying in bed at night, Xu Ruyi tossed and turned, and he was like a pancake on the bed, and he couldn't sleep.

Since his body shape has changed greatly, he feels that he should have disappeared in the eyes of people with hearts, including Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyi Wei and the inspection school, as well as the Tianmen on his head, and most importantly, he is probably trying to find his Yanwang Mansion.

Of course, it is best to be able to avoid the Yanwang Mansion, but if Zhu Yuanzhang and Tianmen can't find themselves, there will be some small troubles. If Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find himself, he might suspect that he was deliberately avoiding him, arousing his suspicions. And Tianmen has always helped him, which is undeniable, and if he disappears in Tianmen's eyes, he will lose a lot of news and care.

Xu Ruyi had also considered these things earlier, and it was precisely because of these considerations that Xu Ruyi would use his real name to enter the Liangguo Mansion. The advantage of this is that it will be better for those who already know him to get their attention. And King Yan didn't know about his existence in the first place, so it wouldn't cause any trouble.

Maybe I'm being a little hasty. Xu Ruyi thought secretly.

It is good to let Zhu Yuanzhang and Tianmen find himself again, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for him to do something on his own, such as saving the Liangguo Mansion. Yes, Xu Ruyi was still thinking about getting some bloody benefits from the upcoming Lan Yu case, but now he was thinking about how to save the giant ship that was about to collapse. Xu Ruyi has thought a lot about it these days, but he still doesn't have a clue. Lan Yu is different from the previous Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang is just an end, and Lan Yu is the beginning of the cleaning that is about to begin. He can calculate and deal with Li Shanchang at will, not because of how smart he is, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence. No matter what he does to Li Shanchang, he can't have an uncontrollable impact on Zhu Yuanzhang. But this time, if he dares to let anything happen to Lan Yu's side, then what awaits him must be the executioner's ghost-headed broadsword, and no one can save him. What's more, the contrast in strength is too different, one is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor who has been in the world for 25 years and has great talent, who follows his words and becomes a constitution, and he is just a little eunuch who has just come to this world for less than half a year, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him openly and secretly, and all he can rely on is his own kung fu, and maybe he can add the Yun Zheng he sees today.

Xu Ruyi tossed and turned, and in Lan Yu's bedroom, Lan Yu and his wife, Mrs. Mu, did not sleep. Being able to command a large army to conquer the world, how could Liang Guogong, who attacked Meng Yuan in the north, be a fool? Lan Yu is just a real person, maybe a little reckless, but definitely not stupid.

It has been a while since Zhu Yuanzhang reopened the Jinyiwei, but the reason for the reopening of the Jinyiwei has not yet been exposed. The arrows on the string are far more terrible than the arrows that have already been shot. Lan Yu felt that this time Zhu Yuanzhang's arrow might be aimed at herself.

Lan Yu got up and got out of bed, walked to the bedroom window, reached out and pushed it open, and looked up at the moon outside the window.

"Master," the voice of the pastor behind him sounded, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"Alas," Lan Yu sighed, "It's okay, it's just that I can't sleep." ”

"The outside should not be asked by the concubine," Mrs. Mu said softly, "but the lord has not been able to sleep peacefully for a few days, the husband and wife are one, if the husband has something on his mind, he might as well talk to the concubine, even if the concubine can't help anything, but the lord may be happier when he says it?"

"Okay" Lan Yu turned around, looked at his beloved wife's watery eyes, and said, "Your Majesty has reopened the brocade guard, presumably Madame has also heard about it." ”

"Well," the shepherd nodded.

"What Jin Yiwei did, Mrs. also knows, the previous Sanzhuang case killed people's heads and blood flowed. After that, His Majesty dismissed the Jinyi Guard, and beheaded Mao Xiang, which can be regarded as calming the anger of the public. Now... ”

"Husband, is you afraid that Your Majesty intends to open another big prison?"

"Madame doesn't know," Lan Yu waved her hand, "What does it matter to us how many people Your Majesty killed?" It's just that now in the court, the civil officials are like the birds in a cage, allowing Your Majesty to rub them round and flatten. Then why do you say Your Majesty wants to reopen the Jinyi Guard?"

"Ah! Husband said!" Lady Mu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she finally understood her husband's concern.

"Madam, don't be afraid" Lan Yu stepped forward in distress and took Madam Mu in her arms and patted her back gently, "It's okay, it'll be fine." ”

Lan Yu's comfort did not make Madame Mu let go of the worries in her heart, for so many years, the blood outside the noon gate of the palace has dyed everyone's eyes red, and the rolling heads have long become the fear in everyone's hearts.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Lan Yu's eyes, but for the sake of Mrs. Kuan's heart, he still said softly, "For the sake of my husband, maybe I should contact Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Tang and a few of their old brothers, as long as we stand together, the emperor will always have some scruples, Madame, don't worry." ”

After listening to Lan Yu's words, the shepherd felt slightly relieved.

It's a pity that she didn't know that Lan Yu's countermeasures didn't have any effect, he overestimated the strength of himself and others, and also underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to clear the hidden dangers for Zhu Yunwen.

The end of autumn is gone, and with the arrival of the first snow, people feel the breath of winter. On the day of the winter solstice, there was a lot of snow in Nanjing. On that day, Zhang Yu, a general under the command of King Yan stationed in Beiping, sent an urgent report to Nanjing: the Mongolian Haril Department suffered a snow disaster, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death.

This short military newspaper caused an uproar in the calm court. Late autumn and early winter are generally indeed the time when the Mongol Tatars descend south to raid. After all, at this time, the grasslands are not green, and they need a lot of supplies to survive the winter. But this is the old yellow calendar after all. In March of the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Lan Yu to lead an army of 150,000 to attack the grassland and fight a decisive battle with the remnants of the Mengyuan forces. In the end, in a big battle in the fishing sea, Lan Yu lived up to expectations and completely defeated the last strength of the Golden Family. It is now the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and there may still be these tribes on the Mongolian steppe, but it is impossible to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, even if it is a bad snow disaster. The tribe is bad for the snow disaster, as long as you have to keep your teeth tight, maybe a lot of livestock will die this winter, and even a lot of people will die, but this tribe will not perish, but if you provoke the Ming Dynasty, they may be exterminated.

In the Wuying Palace, the six Shangshu and several state justices were arguing fiercely over the article sent from Beiping, and they were mainly divided into two factions, one group advocated sending troops, and the other group advocated sticking to it. The faction that sent troops was mainly composed of the princes and dignitaries of the army, and their reasons were simple: the great tomorrow would not be violated, while the stubborn faction was mainly civilian, and their main reason was that they were suspicious of the military report and felt that it was necessary to continue the investigation.

The controversy between the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Civil Affairs has been going on for a while, but it has not gone beyond a result. Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne, just watched and listened quietly, and did not say anything.

"Your Majesty" Lan Yu suddenly faced, Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the ground, "I am willing to lead 30,000 troops to destroy this projectile tribe for Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty" Song Guogong Feng Sheng also knelt down, "Minister, please issue a certificate for Your Majesty"

"Your Majesty," Zuodu Yushi Changxin also knelt down, "The Haril tribe is just a small tribe, all of them add up to less than 50,000 people, but the number of soldiers in the war is less than 4,000, and now they dare to provoke me, there must be fraud in it." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks... ”

。。。。

Slowly, the arguing ministers in the hall all knelt down, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and waited for his final decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't speak, he was still thinking.

In fact, in the entire Wuying Palace, all the people were acting, pretending to be confused. But each of them has their own purpose, including Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Calculating the time, it has been more than half a year since the crown prince Zhu Biao drove the house, and the vassal kings who came to mourn from all over the country have also returned to their respective feudal towns one after another, only Yan Wang Zhu Di is still in the Yan Wang Courtyard in Nanjing. What happened in the Imperial Garden last time has now spread among the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not pursue it, and helped Zhu Di play a round when Huang Zicheng was impeached last time, he did not let Zhu Di return to Beiping after that, but found various excuses to keep it to this day. Now it seems that this strange military newspaper in Beiping is likely to be written by Zhu Di.

In any case, the most appropriate way to deal with this matter is to release Zhu Di back to Beiping. Beiping, as Zhu Di's feudal town, has been in operation for a long time, and his generals are like clouds, and Beiping City is full of soldiers and food. Regardless of whether the invasion of the tribe called Haril is true or not, Beiping, which has Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will not take it seriously.

These things are understood by everyone, but they are not said. The noble family in the army, led by Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, and Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, hoped to take the opportunity to lead the troops to the expedition to show Zhu Yuanzhang their strength and usefulness, and they wanted to tell the emperor that the Ming Dynasty could not do without them, so they did not recommend King Yan, but each asked for his life to go on the expedition.

And those civil officials oppose the expedition is simpler, they don't want the ambitious King Yan to return to Beiping, after all, their hearts are still on Zhu Yunwen's side, on this basis, if they can send people to find out that this matter is a trick directed and acted by King Yan to punish King Yan, it would be better, plus the army went out to fight, working the people and losing money, their reaction at the moment is logical.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wouldn't understand things that both the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understood, but he had more concerns. The purge in the army is about to begin, and he will not send these generals out at this time. But King Yan is his own son, and he is also the vassal king of the border town, and it is not good to stay in Beijing for a long time.

Long...

Zhu Yuanzhang's deep voice finally sounded in the hall.

"Xuanyan King Zhu Di came to see him. ”

The minister of civil and military affairs slowly stood up and stood in two rows, and after a while, Zhu Di, who was dressed in a golden helmet and golden armor, strode into the hall。。。。。

Looking at his heroic emperor Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke up and made his final decision, he didn't know if this decision was right or wrong, but he still decided to believe him again.

Three days later, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, embarked on the road to leave Beijing.

For himself, the departure of King Yan can be described as a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests; and for the nobles of the country, they saw the emperor's vigilance and doubts about them, and they finally decided to unite against Zhu Yuanzhang, just like that, another opposition to Zhu Yuanzhang after Hu Weiyong's group was born, no, not again, it should be said that it is self-preservation.
