Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Before Zhen Wu could speak, Zhang Yu explained: "The premise is that we must control Beiping City. If we want to completely control Beiping City, what should we do with Xie Gui's [-] troops? And I heard what Zhen Wu said, Zhen Wu It's like trying to get the attention of Xie Gui's [-] soldiers and horses, and then use these [-] soldiers and horses to take Miyun Huairou and Yongping land?"

After speaking, Zhang Yu looked at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu nodded in agreement: "Now we can't gather troops, so we can only start with Xie Gui. If there are 3 troops to stabilize the situation, His Highness will have time to call on our guards and the previous His Highness I dare not say that there are too many old troops. We can gather at least [-] soldiers in a short period of time. With this kind of people, we can completely push back Song Zhong and Geng Yu, and face the crusade from the imperial court head-on. And thank you for [-] soldiers, I dare say Compared with Xie Gui, the soldiers among them definitely have their hearts towards His Highness. Under such circumstances, it would be a pity not to make this idea. I have the advantage of the army's morale, but I have no idea how to recruit these [-] horses .”

While talking, Zhen Wu looked at Monk Daoyan, who had been silent all this time, and said, "I'm afraid Master will need to think of something about this matter."

This should not trouble Dao Yan, after all, at this stage, Monk Dao Yan can definitely be called the number one adviser.

Dao Yan did not disappoint Zhen Wu, he nodded directly to answer the matter, but he thought for a while and said: "But the poor monk has a problem, if we want to get 3 people from Xie Gui, we must at least have capital. The guard army can't be counted on, and the soldiers of King Yan's mansion plus the guards of everyone in the family are less than 1000 people, which is too small. It is difficult, so now we have to find a way to delay the court for some time, and secretly accumulate some elite soldiers to prepare for the needs."

"In addition, now that the imperial court has made an order, Beiping is under the control of Xie Gui and Zhang Bing, so the equipment cannot be transferred, and our soldiers cannot display their combat power without armor and swords. It will also take time to make preparations, so it is urgent. You may wish to discuss it. , How can the court relax its vigilance and seek more time to prepare."

There was silence again in the study.

The situation before their eyes has become very obvious after discussion.

When the guards could not be mobilized, they had to rely on secret forces to defeat Xie Gui, and then recruit Xie Gui's [-] soldiers and horses. However, the secret forces were too small to make a small fortune, so it was necessary to paralyze the court and delay preparations .

Zhu Di made a final decision at this time: "Let's discuss this matter first."

Afterwards, everyone started discussing how to make the imperial court relax their vigilance. You said something to each other, and you had an idea. The discussion was extremely intense, but there were not many really effective ways.

It has been a long time, and there is no way to determine it.

Now that Zhu Yunqi has sharpened his sword, trying to make Zhu Yunqi stop what he is doing, the general method will not work.

In the end, the discussion came, the discussion went, Zhu Di patted the table angrily and said, "What? I have to go crazy, so my elder nephew can feel at ease with me?!"

But as soon as this sentence fell, everyone in the audience fell silent.

Zhen Wu couldn't help but slapped his head. After living in Ming Dynasty for so many years, how could he forget that Zhu Di played crazy and acted stupid in history.

Dao Yan's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, this method should be the best policy."

Others didn't dare to suggest, but they all looked at Zhu Di expectantly.

As soon as Zhu Di rolled his eyes, he thought it through completely, and he couldn't help laughing twice: "It makes sense."

He is not a face-saving person, and he doesn't care about such things, let alone life and death, losing someone for his life is nothing.

However, Zhu Di wondered: "Do you know what kind of attitude a lunatic should have? I don't have much contact with him. If I pretend not to be true, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and others."

Everyone thought about it for a while, and everyone knew that when the news of Zhu Di's madness spread, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui absolutely had to come to Prince Yan's Mansion to see it with their own eyes before they could rest assured. If they couldn't hide it from them, this method would be useless .

After everyone recalled the attitude of some lunatics, they began to describe to Zhu Di what they thought a lunatic looked like. Zhu Di didn't say much, just listened quietly, and then remembered everything in his heart.

Listening, Zhu Di didn't know if his acting attribute had been activated, or what, and he couldn't help making associations in his heart.

As time passed, everyone discussed until dark, and then they dispersed to go home, and then each secretly started to prepare for their own work.

In the days that followed, Zhen Wu and other generals were responsible for searching for trustworthy soldiers, and secretly sent them to King Yan's Mansion in various ways. The basement was emptied, and the furnace was turned on day and night to forge weapons. Zhu Gaochi, Dao Yan and others not only thought of many ways to cover up the noise, but also raised many chickens, ducks, geese, etc. to cover people's eyes and ears.

Yanwang Mansion was originally the Imperial Palace of the Yuan Dynasty. The palace was very deep and there were secret passages. Zhen Wu and others were also extremely cautious in their actions, so Zhang Bing, Xie Gui and others did not notice anything unusual.

After Song Zhong and other governors were in place, most of the garrison troops around Beiping City were also ordered to be dispatched to Kaiping, and all eyes of the whole world were on Beiping City.

And at this moment, the news that Yan Wang Zhu Di was frightened mad spread like wildfire.

On the same day, Zhang Bing and Xie Gui, who were suspicious, came to Yanwang Mansion as companions, but Yanwang Mansion had no time to entertain them at all. The lunatic Zhu Di ran around in Yanwang Mansion, and Xu Miaoyun, who was crying and heartbroken, directed the people in the mansion. , trying every means to stop the crazy Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's expression did not seem to be fake at all.

When Zhang Bing saw this scene, they looked at each other.

They believed most of them right away, but they still planned to confirm it again and again. However, at this moment, Zhu Di directly rushed out of the blockade of the maids in the court, and ran towards the two of them.

The two of them didn't react for a moment, they were directly knocked away by Zhu Di who was barefoot, and then watched Zhu Di rush straight out of King Yan's mansion, frantically going crazy on the street.

Xu Miaoyun panicked and hurried to let people chase after her. She also wanted to follow in a hurry, but when she came to Zhang Bing, she suddenly stopped.

She looked at Zhang Bing and Xie Gui with blood-red eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "If the lord really has something good or bad, I will definitely fight with you two forever."

After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyun turned her head and hurriedly chased after her.

There were a lot of people on the street, Xu Miaoyun chased the people from Yanwang Mansion to look for Zhu Di, but when she saw Zhu Di in a mess, fighting for food with a beggar like a dog, her defense seemed to be broken in an instant. Weeping in the street.

There was only one thought left in her mind, that was Emperor Taizu's son, who guarded the frontier for Daming for 20 years, how did he end up like this.

Zhang Bing and Xie Gui, who followed Xu Miaoyun, suddenly felt embarrassed when they saw this scene.

A prince was crazily robbing beggars for food, and a dignified princess was crying in the street. They couldn't help but believe that this was true, and even they felt that it was a bit too much for Zhu Yunqi to target Yan Wang at this time.

In the end, the two left quietly. After discussing carefully, they wrote down these matters in detail on the memorial, and sent them to Nanjing City quickly.

But at this time, Zhen Wu couldn't care about other things because Zhu Yuying was about to give birth.

On this day, Zhu Di went crazy in the city, rumors spread in the city, when Zhen Wu wanted to issue a password order to his family, it had already been accidentally transmitted to Zhu Yuying's ears, which caused Zhu Yuying's fetus to move in shock.

Zhen Wu was also frightened all of a sudden, and his hair stood up. While screaming in shock, he comforted Zhu Yuying: "Don't worry, don't worry, after the child is born, let's take the child to see the father. born to."

Zhu Yuying endured the pain and nodded.

The midwife who has been living in Zhen Wu's home recently heard Zhen Wu's call and quickly got ready to deliver Zhu Yuying. Fortunately, the midwife was extraordinary and had delivered babies for powerful families many times. When Zhen Wu panicked, she took the initiative to stand up. Come out and preside over the situation.

Let the maids boil the water and help them help, and everyone became busy in an orderly manner.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Yuying in pain, and his heart ached all over, Zhu Yuying's whole face was wrinkled in pain, and she looked at Zhen Wu helplessly with her eyes.

Zhen Wu comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm always here."

But Zhen Wu had no choice but to be there all the time, and was finally kicked out by the midwives.

He was fidgeting in the yard, walking non-stop, listening to Zhu Yuying's roar in the room, each sound pierced his heart like a knife.

He really wished he could take his place.

In Zhen Wu's state of mind, even the fourth and fifth younger sister's family didn't know about it, and the brothers-in-law also understood, and they were concerned about this matter with the company of the third child.

Zhang Yuqing wanted to comfort Zhen Wu with a few words, but she was also very nervous. This was the first grandson of her Zhen family. Although she was a woman who came from here, she was no less worried than Zhen Wu when she was a bystander.

Time seems to have never been so slow.

From the afternoon, all night passed, and when the sky was slightly bright, a loud cry pierced the sky.

The midwife came out to announce the good news that the mother and child were safe.

Zhen Wu didn't care about other things, rushed into the room immediately, and went straight to the bed. He held Zhu Yuying's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, but Zhang Yuqing looked at her with a smile all over his face. His eldest grandson is rare.

Xia Ju and Dongmei were also happy to offer rewards and announcements.

Soon the people in the Mansion knew that at the dawn of time, the grandson of Zhen's parents, their young master, had come to the world.

……

Chapter 240 - The first fire that shocked the world

in the room.

Zhen Wu held Zhu Yuying's little hand, and the two of them didn't speak for the first time.

He distressedly helped Zhu Yuying tidy up the messy hair, as if there was a kind of unspoken affection flowing between the two of them, Zhu Yuying's face was a little pale, with postpartum exhaustion.

After cleaning and tidying up the cubs, Zhang Yuqing's fourth younger sister, fifth younger sister, sixth younger sister, and some maidservants looked around curiously.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but wanted to reach out and touch her, but she was interrupted by Simei's slap as soon as she reached out.

"Little girl, don't mess around."

Xiao Liu put his hips on his hips and retorted: "I'm not young anymore."

A group of female relatives were taken aback for a moment. They were already in a good mood, and then they laughed out loud one by one. Let alone Zhang Yuqing, even the fourth and fifth sisters watched Xiao Liu grow up slowly.

For Xiaoliu's childish words, it seems that he can still see his former self.

The fourth sister covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Let's talk about it after you get married."

Xiao Liu was so angry that he didn't know what to mutter.

In fact, women are somewhat similar to plants. When they reach their age, they naturally want to bloom and bear fruit, their natural instincts are released, and their maternal instincts are rampant. Now, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Liu has also reached the age of leaving the court without knowing it.

However, she was doomed to be delayed when she encountered the critical moment of Beiping City.

At this moment, Xiao Liu rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed mischievously again, stepped forward and hugged Fourth Sister's arm, and said coquettishly: "Fourth Sister, when will you bring your little Tan Cheng and let his aunt Play around."

The fourth younger sister pinched Xiao Liu's face angrily: "Don't dare to play tricks on his aunt, who made his aunt the least stable." Said, the fourth younger sister and Zhang Yuqing wondered: "Mother, tell me , when I was a child, I never saw Xiao Liu caring much about Xiao Qi, every time I asked him to play with Xiao Qi, he would always be shameless, and when he was in a hurry, he would shout and call Big Brother, what's wrong now, why are you so rare It's a baby."

Zhang Yuqing ignored the two sisters with a smile, but the fifth sister took over the conversation with a smile at this time: "The fourth sister still said this, you and Xiao Liu are arguing and evading, and the matter of taking Xiao Qi falls on me every time." on the head."

Simei and Xiaoliu looked at each other the same way, thinking of the old days, they both laughed.

Brothers and sisters of the same mother lived together crowded together when they were young, and it was inevitable to be noisy, but when they were adults and married, they recalled the past, and there was something special in their hearts.

An only child can't feel this kind of emotion, even if it's two children, it's a bit less feeling than several children playing and fighting.

On the other side, Zhen Wu listened to the Fourth Sister and the others talking and laughing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Zhu Yuying and said softly, "I'll show you the baby after I bring it over?"

Zhu Yuying nodded expectantly.

Zhang Yuqing has been paying attention to Zhen Wu's side all the time. After hearing Zhen Wu's words, before Zhen Wu could speak, she walked over with the child in her arms. She bent her body slightly with the child in her arms so that Zhu Yuying on the bed could see it. real.

"Look, Yuying, the child's little nose is exactly the same as yours." Zhang Yuqing said happily.

The fourth sister and fifth sister also came over, one by one sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law yelled, and then happily discussed how the child was like Zhen Wu, and how was it like Zhu Yuying.

Zhu Yuying had just given birth and was exhausted. She didn't have much energy to speak, and just listened quietly with a smile. She just thought of Zhu Di and felt a little worried in her heart.

Zhen Wu also looked at the child, and at first glance, he didn't have any special feelings, like some mysterious words written in the book, such as feeling the blood, he didn't feel it.

However, when he thought that this little guy was created by him, his calm heart could no longer calm down. Then he looked at the little guy, and the more he liked it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but feel a desire to protect him for the rest of his life. impulse.

This is the love between father and son?

Zhen Wu, who was a father for the first time, was a little curious.

But then he felt a little emotional. This little guy was born in this time period, so he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. There would obviously be some turmoil in Beiping City, but when this little guy was able to run, jump, and mischief, it happened to be When his father's business ended.

If I sin against my father, I will bless him to enjoy it.

It is true that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

Just when Zhen Wu was thinking about this, he turned his head and noticed Zhu Yuying's worry about Zhu Di, Zhen Wu sighed again in his heart, how should he tell Zhu Yuying about this?

Although Zhu Yuying is definitely trustworthy, Zhu Yuying is a woman in a boudoir after all, and at this stage Zhu Di's feigning illness must not be neglected. If Zhu Yuying's acting skills are not in place, let Zhang Bingxiegui notice, then There will be big trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu still felt that he couldn't tell Zhu Yuying the truth, at least not now, and waited for Zhu Yuying to rest for a few days, and after his body recovered, he took Zhu Yuying to the palace to see Zhu Di before talking about other things.

In this way, Zhu Yuying's visit to Zhu Di during her confinement period can also add some authenticity.

It is estimated that Zhu Di, an old fox, will definitely hide Zhu Yuying from Zhu Yuying together with Zhen Wu at that time, and try to make Zhu Yuying reveal his true feelings to achieve the purpose of deceiving Zhang Bing and Xie Gui.

I just feel sorry for Zhu Yuying, and I also feel sorry for Zhen Wu. We must take good care of Zhu Yuying's emotions, lest Zhu Yuying suffer from postpartum depression or something.

Zhen Wu shook his head in annoyance, Zhu Di pretending to be crazy and pretending to be sick is just a stroke in the history books, but he really experienced this incident before he knew the danger and trouble hidden in it.

He thought fiercely in his heart, for the sake of Zhu Yuying's health, after Zhu Yuying visited Zhu Di, at worst, he would reveal some real situation to Zhu Yuying, and then let Zhu Yuying pretend to be sick to hide it from everyone, including her family, and then let Zhu Yuying Ying hid in the house and didn't even see the servants at home, so she could hide the past if she wanted to.

It's just that this is somewhat troublesome and prone to omissions. I still hope that Zhu Yuying, as the daughter of the palace, will be strong enough.

If they want to rebel, the family members must learn to bear these pressures.

At this time, the fourth younger sister who had been chatting and laughing with Zhu Yuying suddenly turned her head to look at Zhen Wu, and said, "Brother, Tan Zhong said earlier that he was looking for you for something, do you want to talk to him?"

Zhen Wu came back to his senses, and after a little thought, he understood why Tan Zhong was looking for him.

Fifth Younger Sister also said at this time: "Wang Tong also said that he wanted to find elder brother for something, which is strange, brother, but did something happen?"

"What can happen!"

Zhen Wu shook his head, looked at the fourth younger sister, fifth younger sister, and Zhu Yuying meaningfully, and said, "You are the daughters of the military commander's family, and you are both eldest daughters-in-law and housewives. Don't say nothing is wrong, even if something happens, you You also have to trust big brother, I believe that your husband's family can handle it well, what you have to do is to take good care of the family, don't let the man worry about the family affairs, as for the outside affairs, don't worry about it, you know?"

The fourth younger sister and the fifth younger sister listened to Zhen Wu's training, nodding as usual.

But Zhang Yuqing was not happy anymore. He just felt that Zhen Wu would be nagging on the day of great joy, and he would be in a bad mood for no reason, so he was annoyed and said: "Go, go, since your brothers-in-law are looking for you, you should go quickly and stop here to influence us. Mothers talk, we women and Taoists still don't understand this truth, so let's say what you say."

"Hey."

Zhen Wu said angrily: "Okay, I'll go, you mothers can chat."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu got up and walked outside. When he got outside, the servant girls greeted Zhen Wu all the way, and Zhen Wu nodded from time to time with a smile. Zhen Wu is pleasing.

Zhen Wu glared at the few people, walked to the main seat and sat down and said: "Okay, we are all family members, why do you join in the fun, but let you stay with me all night."

The third child said: "Brother, what did you say? This is what we should do. Besides, we can't help you much. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a while, and we don't feel tired."

Tan Zhong and Wang Tong also nodded in agreement.
