Father can be an enemy to the country

In August in Jinling, the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, and the good news of the Western Expedition has also reached Nanjing.

In this battle, General Deng Yu and Deputy General Mu Ying led their troops deep into the hinterland of Tibet. They pursued King Yu of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Tubo Zanpu He Sunanpu to the depths of the Kunlun Mountains. In the end, they beheaded 10,000 people, captured 50,000, and captured horses, There are more than 200,000 cattle and sheep.

After the great victory, all the countries in the Western Regions surrendered their lands, and the Ming Dynasty opened up thousands of miles of territory. Banzhu'er, the commander of Uzangdu, led the divination kings to Hezhou to work for the army.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Tubo Uzbek tribes never rebelled again...

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the good news, he issued an edict to commend Deng Yu and gave him a red python warm robe and a jade belt. The rest of the officers and soldiers will have to wait for their meritorious service and rewards to be awarded by the Ministry of War.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Shaanxi to guard Song Sheng, and temporarily moved to Hezhou, where all the surrendered Tubo tribes were organized into households and the people were dispersed. Deng Yu, the general who conquered the West, led his army back to Beijing to offer prisoners.

But privately, what makes Boss Zhu even more happy is that his son has outstanding performance.

It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, so like all the old fathers in the world, he boasted about the achievements of his second son at the banquet.

"Not only Deng Yu, but also Wenying's letter said that the second child is so talented that others can't breathe in the Kunlun Mountains, but he can catch Tibetan foxes all over the mountains and fields!" Boss Zhu said proudly: "As expected of us, back then. We also have extraordinary physical strength. We can march for three days and three nights without taking a nap, and we can still fight immediately when we get to the battlefield!"

"How can a good man brag about his son if he doesn't talk about his bravery in the past?" Queen Ma said speechlessly.

"We are not boasting. Didn't the second child inherit our pair of iron feet? He can still lead scouts to investigate when everyone else is lying down? Didn't he inherit our pair of clairvoyance? He can detect the shadow of the Tubo people. ?" Boss Zhu's self-praising has reached a certain level. When he praises his son, he also praises himself. They are not in conflict with each other and are inseparable.

"Obviously it's because of the highly anti-reactive medicine that the fifth brother prepared for the second brother, and the telescope that I tinkered with..." Lao Liu muttered angrily.

"Stop saying a few words, be careful of getting beaten up in Mid-Autumn Night." The fourth brother, who came back from Fengyang specially for the festival, advised.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, I will practice closed-mouth meditation." Lao Liu always maintained heartfelt respect for Fourth Brother.

"Speaking of which, the second brother really showed his face this time." Zhu Di said with envy in his eyes: "I traveled thousands of miles across Kunlun, and after all the hardships, I won a great victory! I must be very happy!"

"Aren't you different?" The third child teased him: "It took two years, traveled across two capitals, and finally got the result after a lot of hard work. I must be extremely happy?"

"Hmph!" The fourth child rolled his eyes at the third child. He was in a good mood today and it was a big holiday, so he didn't have the same experience as him.

Why is he in a good mood? Because after he and his wife moved to Fengyang, Princess Yan's stomach finally moved! The accompanying imperial doctor has confirmed that the princess is indeed pregnant...

In addition to celebrating the festival, the fourth child's important purpose in returning to Beijing was to report the good news to his father, the emperor, and his mother.

"As expected of you." The third child was mean, and the less the fourth child quarreled with him, the more flirtatious he became. "You can take something as ordinary as your wife's pregnancy as good news, and report the good news to your father, the emperor, and your mother. I admire you. It's really admirable."

"You!" Lao Si's anger surged and he growled in a low voice: "You are a full man but you don't know a hungry man is hungry. Do you know how difficult it is for me to have sex with this child? I've even eaten mud mixed with blood! "

"Ugh..." The third child almost vomited and gave a thumbs up.

"Fourth brother is so awesome!" Lao Liu's praise came as expected. As expected of His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, who can eat shit, his diet is endless...

"Well, no matter what, I finally have an explanation." The fourth child was still very happy overall. He happily drank a glass of wine and said: "I have been suffocated for the past six months. I am going to do something big!"

"Is that a literal meaning?" King Jin smiled and said, "There are new ones in the Golden Lotus Courtyard. The ones we brought back from Goryeo have been trained by Liu Niang. Your Highness, Prince Yan, is welcome to come and give guidance."

While the prince left the table to pee, the brothers started talking nonsense again.

"Who do you think I am? The princess is still pregnant, how can I mess around outside? Am I still a human being!" Lao Si refused righteously.

"You can pay the bill." Lao San smiled.

"Well, actually, if you just relax and listen to some music once in a while, you wouldn't be sorry for the princess..." The fourth child changed his mind.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, I would like to propose a toast to you." While the brothers were talking, Concubine Da Ding came over with a glass of wine.

"Concubine Ding, you've betrayed me." The fourth child said politely.

"Hey, the seventh and eighth elders are all following you to practice their skills in Fengyang. You are now half their teacher." Concubine Da Ding covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Please give me more trouble and care, Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter if you worry about it. This is what you should do as a brother." King Yan hesitated and said, "If you take care of me, I will take care of you if you can afford it. Don't blame me if you can't take care of me."

"Oh?" Concubine Da Ding heard something in his words and asked with a tense look, "What trouble did the two thieves get into?"

She thought to herself that no wonder they didn't come back for the festival. It turned out to be because they were afraid of being beaten.

"I have already informed my father, my queen, just ask my father." King Yan said with a little embarrassment.

"No matter what happens, can't you, the elder brother, hide it for them?" Concubine Da Ding couldn't help but grimace.

"Of course I will hide what I need to hide." King Yan said coldly and ignored her. The implication is that what should not be hidden will naturally not be hidden.

"Humph, you are just biased against my son!" Concubine Da Ding turned around angrily and went back.

~~

"What did those two boys do?" The third child asked as soon as Concubine Da Ding left.

"Why should I tell you?" The fourth child was annoyed.

"Fourth brother, tell me, I'm also very curious." At this time, Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Okay." The fourth child said obediently, "Oh, those two guys are simply perverted. My father accepted the lesson from the year before last and was afraid that the children would be in danger, so he did not let them remain anonymous and let them train directly as princes."

"Damn it, didn't we say that all brothers have to do it again? Why are we the only ones who remain anonymous and work as farmers in the fields?" The third child said angrily after hearing this.

"You also have to do business, work as a traveling doctor, and even beg for food on the street..." Lao Wu added.

Lao Liu, who practiced silent chanting, nodded. It was really sad for the speaker and tears for the listener.

"It's not because you played too much that year," the prince came back from relieve himself, sat down and said with a smile, "Father, you don't dare to do that anymore."

"Then what new tricks did they come up with that even Fourth Brother can't stand?" Lao Liu asked curiously.

"Alas, among the military households they manage, there are widows whose husbands died in battle, and bachelors whose wives died." The fourth child said depressedly: "They forced a couple into a marriage, which made everyone's house explode!"

'Okay...' Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh to himself, Lao Zhu's family really doesn't raise idle people.

Boss Zhu’s son can live without a job, but he cannot live without a job...

"This is not the most outrageous thing." The fourth child said speechlessly: "Because there are too many widows in the military households and there are not enough bachelors, they use children to make up the number. It is too much to find a wife of more than forty for a seven or eight-year-old child. It’s outrageous!”
