Bright Spring

"I will send you off to His Highness the King of Han." Ru Yu stood up.

... When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace, the professor Hou Hai was waiting for him.So Zhu Gaoxu asked him to enter the study to talk.

Hou Haidao: "My lord, the governor Xu Zhang was originally a military general who guarded the Yan Palace. You should know that Xu Zhang has been in the Jingnan Army all along."

"I know." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I asked you to inquire, and it's not something that everyone knows."

Hou Hai smiled and said triumphantly, "The important thing has come..."

"Don't be tricky, tell me quickly!" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Hou Hai asked mysteriously: "How can the prince know what blessing?"

Zhu Gaoxu became a little impatient and nodded his head.He still doesn't know He Fu?General Jianwen, who Zhu Gaoxu fought against in the Battle of Lingbi, often leads troops with Ping An.

Hou Haimei said happily: "He Fu's first wife is dead, and Xu Xian's wife is Xu Zhang's own sister!"

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized when he heard this, and asked again, "He Fu continued, before the 'Battle of Jingnan'?"

"Yes, it should have happened in the last two years of the Hongwu Dynasty." Hou Haidao, "I heard that Xu Zhang's sister was a widow!"

Hou Hai continued to talk about trivial matters, this guy is really gossip.Zhu Gaoxu has always wondered why Hou Hai is a civil servant, an official or a bookish professor, instead of working in Jinyiwei?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to stop his eloquent desire to express, but he just kept silent, still thinking about the relationship.

Although he does not work in the court, he has also been in contact with some civil and military affairs and learned a lot.Judging from various indications, his father, Zhu Di, is very skillful in power tactics!

In Zhu Gaoxu's mind, only talking about his father's ability to lead troops to fight, he can only say that he is not bad, and he has not reached the state of using soldiers like a god; but his father's abilities are very comprehensive, especially in terms of tactics.

...Father has only been on the throne for more than half a year, and he has basically firmly grasped the power.Zhu Gaoxu thought about his father's various routines during this period.

First of all, as soon as Zhu Di entered the city, he promoted all the suppressed and unsuccessful officials of the Jianwen Dynasty, regardless of their merits and demerits, and pretended to restore the Hongwu ancestor system.As a result, the situation was first stabilized and the normal operation of the governing body was guaranteed.

Then, being kind to almost everyone, everyone seemed to become friends.However, this is impossible!This is just to stabilize the overall situation and prevent all forces from forming a group so that they can be defeated individually!As expected, a group of people will be unlucky immediately.That is the civil servant who scolded him and did not support him.

Then, wait until a large number of civil officials who supported the reduction of feudal lords and dealt with Zhu Di are finished.Zhu Di began to reach out to the generals of Jianwen who had already surrendered, because he felt that they were unreliable!

If Zhu Gaoxu's guess is correct, during this period of time, his father was dealing with those surrendered generals one by one, and Sheng Yong was the first to finish.

However, it seems that He Fu is going to be safe.

... He Fu fought well in battle, and he was not a man who used soldiers like a god. Ambushed on foot and cavalry, defeated.

So Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay much attention to him all the time, thinking that his battle ability was far inferior to Qu Neng and Sheng Yong.

It wasn't until just now that Zhu Gaoxu discovered that this person is actually a wonderful person!

Damn it, as far back as the last years of Hongwu, He Fu had already anticipated that King Yan would raise troops, and had paved the way early... Otherwise, he would have thought highly of a little-known little guard general in the Palace of King Yan who wanted to marry Xu Zhang's sister as the main wife?He is a high-ranking military general in the Ming Dynasty. Does he have to be a widow?

Now He Fu's first son is blossoming and bearing fruit.

Xu Zhang is the direct descendant of Yan Wangfu, and belongs to Zhu Di's core force in safeguarding the imperial power; but Xu Zhang has long been in-laws with Jianwen's general He Fu, and Zhu Di is a little afraid to touch He Fu.

Zhu Di had no choice but to compromise, and the solution was: he also married Xu Zhang, and asked Gao Sui to marry Xu Zhang's daughter.In this way, everyone becomes relatives!

Xu Zhang has become a relative of the emperor, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has become more stable; He Fu has also joined the circle of royal relatives, so he should follow Zhu Di with peace of mind.

……

In two days, Zhu Gaoxu will be able to see He Fu.Although the two of them were old rivals, neither of them saw each other on the battlefield, and this was the first time they met each other.

When I was still the King of Yan, there was a habitual activity in autumn, which was "autumn hunting".The original meaning was not hunting, but in the name of hunting, all the troops were gathered to prepare for battle.

Because the season when the northern tribes harass the border is in autumn, the war horses eat grass seeds and become fat, and the good brothers in the north who have worked with the Central Plains for thousands of years just go south to rob|rob.Zhu Di, who used to be the vassal king of Beiping, was responsible for preparing the border. Of course, he had to accompany the nomadic brothers to "hunt" every year.

Zhu Di is already the emperor this year, and he cannot get away from Nanjing and go north, but he doesn't want to change his habit for a while.So "autumn hunting" became a real hunting activity.

The location is at the Xiaohongshan Royal Hunting Ground.Zhu Gaoxu heard that He Fu was going too.

Chapter 193 Little Red Mountain

Obviously, the hunting grounds in the capital cannot be compared with those in the north. The Xiaohongshan hunting ground is located in Nanjing City.

The emperor led a group of soldiers on horseback out of Taiping Gate, and walked north by west. They arrived at a low mountain forest between Xuanwu Lake and Zhongshan Mountain, which was the Xiaohongshan hunting ground.

Zhu Di put on his military uniform and came to the tent prepared in advance, got off his horse and looked at the forest in front of him.All the generals approached one after another, waiting for the emperor to deploy hunting tactics.When Gao Xu came over, he saw many familiar faces around him, most of them were heroes of Jing Nan; there were also some unfamiliar faces, who might be Jianwen's surrendered generals.

He soon saw a little boy who was only about five years old, wearing a small yellow robe, standing beside the emperor, who is that good grandson Zhu Zhanji?

Gao Xu suddenly felt that he was really not a caring person. When he saw this child, he didn't find it cute at all. Instead, he had the urge to beat the little kid to death immediately.

Zhu Di said: "This place is a bit small, but I still feel that riding horses and hunting in Beiping is very enjoyable!"

The generals agreed for a while.

Zhu Di changed the subject and said again: "But it doesn't matter, today I just want to go out for a walk with my old brothers who were born and died..." At this point, the generals showed a look of relief and whispered below, Zhu Di continued, " After a while, everyone separated and hunted from all sides, using the sound of the horn as a trumpet, and when they heard the horn, they came back to the camp to gather and count the prey."

He looked back and said with a smile, "Of course there will be a lottery, and I will reward the one who shoots the most. This is the horse I rode!" He said and patted the mount next to him lightly.

All the generals followed the sound, and there was an uproar immediately, and many people shouted, as if they were about to roll up their sleeves and prepare for a big fight!

It was a maroon sweat-blooded BMW. The sweat-blooded BMW itself was very precious, and the emperor's horse was the best of the sweat-blooded BMWs.He is tall, noble and elegant, and his fur is shiny and shiny.

Qiu Fu, who deliberately stood beside Zhu Gaoxu, said in a low voice: "The most rare thing about that horse is its four hooves, which are like no one in ten thousand. People call it Qianlixue."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu took another look, and sure enough, he saw that the horse was covered in fine red fur, but only four hooves were snow-white, which was really strange.In ancient times, riding a horse was the same as driving a car in later generations. It is also a car. Can driving a Weihang be the same as driving a Hongguang divine car?A good horse should pay attention to appearance, temperament, and speed. A fine horse can greatly improve a person's stamina, especially generals who like horseback riding and archery, especially prefer fine horses!

Seeing such a horse, everyone's interest was aroused. As for the size of the hunting ground, that is not the point at all, as long as the prize is good enough!

Zhu Di didn't introduce how powerful the horse was at all. Everyone rode horses, so just see for yourself.He downplayed the prize, and then changed the topic, "After hunting, we roasted the game here and drank wine, and talked together..."

But all eyes were on the horse.Who the hell is interested in wine and meat?Following the emperor's victory over the world, the generals have long been rich and prosperous, eating meat and drinking every day, and they are already tired of it!Military generals are very real and snobbish, don't talk about modesty, since hunting can get a good horse, I want that horse!

Qiu Fu laughed again: "In terms of martial arts, who in the world is His Highness the King of Han's opponent? I am optimistic about the King of Han... Then what, the King of Han won't send me off?"

Zhu Gaoxu admired Qiu Fu's face very much, and also jokingly said: "I heard that Duke Qi has adopted a few young girls, but you didn't say you would give me one?"

"Oh!" Qiu Fu suddenly said, "The king of Han really likes this. That's a deal! If the king of Han wins the horse, I'll exchange my concubine with you. When you come to the mansion, except for the cheap wife, you can choose whatever the king of Han chooses. pick!"

"Duke Qi thought so beautifully." Zhu Gaoxu scolded with a smile.

Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu, Zhang Wu and others also joined in, thinking that the horse would be taken away by Zhu Gaoxu.After all, young people are quick to respond, not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, who killed the general Geng Bingwen, has a reputation for bravery.

At this moment, someone actually said loudly: "It's not sure, I am optimistic about Governor He Fu!"

Zhu Gaoxu followed the sound and saw that the speaker was Chen Xuan.There were several unfamiliar military generals over there, surrounded by a middle-aged man with a round face, who might be the He Fu whom Chen Xuan yelled about.

He Fu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Where is it, I am just a defeated general under the King of Han."
