Daming: From the end of Hongwu

The effect is really good.

Li Jinglong became excited all of a sudden.

"Is that true? That would be great."

As he was talking, Li Jinglong suddenly realized that he had been begging to marry Zhen Wu's sister just now, so he was so excited at this moment, it was a bit unreasonable, so he smiled awkwardly at Zhen Wu and said: "Zhao Guogong, don't misunderstand, I really wanted to marry your sister for my son, and this heart can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"I know, and I won't misunderstand. Marriage is not destined to be benevolent. Besides, it is understandable to talk about this moment and that moment."

"Mr. Zhao is really open-minded. Look, I'll leave now. When I become the host another day, I hope Mr. Zhao will reward me." Li Jinglong said.

Zhen Wu nodded: "Duke Cao can do as he pleases."

After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong bid farewell and left in a hurry. If there is no accident, he should go to pester Zhu Neng. Zhen Wu sighed with satisfaction. He didn't expect that he had the talent to be a matchmaker. Red envelopes, he definitely can't count.

Cao Xiaoman on the side looked at Zhen Wu a little speechless.

It's not surprising that his old officer was beaten to death one day.

……

In the next few days, Zhen Wu and the others returned to indifference after a few days of rare titles praised by others. I have to avoid Zhu Neng one or two from time to time, and my life is quite comfortable.

And in the past few days, many military generals abroad have returned to Beijing to meet Zhu Di. They come from various places, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Liaodong, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc. Among them, three are worth mentioning, that is, Mei Yin and Song Sheng. , and Mu Ying's fifth son, Mu Xin.

Mei Yin needless to say.

Song Sheng has been in Liangzhou for many years, and his influence in Liangzhou is no less than that of the Mu family in Yunnan. The two came to the capital to meet Zhu Di, which can fully express their attitudes.

In the Ming Dynasty, one south and one north, two people with great military strength recognized Zhu Di's status, and also conveyed a point to the world from the side, that there will be no more serious wars in the future.

And with the audience of these generals from other places, Zhu Di's position became more and more consolidated.

King Ning, King Zhou, King Qi and others, in the dead of night, all tossed and turned and sighed, that Zhu Laosi really took over the world.

Many people still can't believe it even now.

How did Zhu Laosi rely on a mere place in Beiping to secure his position as the co-owner of the great tomorrow?

Those who were looking forward to another chaos in the big world, under disappointment, some used alcohol to relieve their worries, and some concealed evil intentions and thought about it in every possible way.

But at this moment, Zhen Wu saw something else strange. Recently, Jin Yiwei was about to move, which was enough to prove that Zhu Di's cleaning operation was about to start.

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu had to admire Zhu Di.

At this age, Zhu Di has reached the most mature stage in his life after many years of experience and setbacks. He and Zhu Yunqi can be said to be worlds apart.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that Zhu Yunqi is not worthy of carrying Zhu Di's shoes, and the abilities of the two are simply not at the same level.

Just from Zhu Di's recent actions, one can see one or two.

Zhu Di first appeased the clan, then recruited military generals, divided Jianwen's old officials, and promoted some young and talented low-level officials before preparing for the second drastic purge.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang, he has an excellent view of the overall situation, and he will never purge him and cause turmoil in the government. What's more terrible is that, like Zhu Yuanzhang, he will never be soft when he kills people. In my heart, I am afraid that I can't kill all the scholars, especially those who want to be officials.

Zhen Wu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and then he planned to hang up and eat melons.

However, to Zhen Wu's surprise, before the purge, Zhu Di's first action was to express his generosity to the people of the world, and he ordered the release of some old Jianwen ministers who had been arrested in prison.

Among these people, there was one named Jing Qing.

On the morning of the third day after he was released from prison, this man, with a sharp knife in his pocket, planned to assassinate Zhu Di in court. Fortunately, Zhu Di was quick-witted and found out the clue in advance, so he was arrested and searched on the spot.

When the sharp blade fell into the hall with a clang, all the officials fell silent in surprise.

Everyone looked at the furious Zhu Di, and there was a huge wave in their hearts.

"Okay, I treat you as a soldier of the country, but you treat me as a bandit, okay, since we can't get along, don't blame me for someone who can get along." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he roared furiously: "Ji Gang !"

Ji Gang hurried out of the queue.

Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang coldly and said: "This person must have accomplices, you investigate for me, no matter what means you use, and no matter who you find out, as long as it is someone with evil intentions, we will never tolerate it."

"I obey." Ji Gang replied loudly, his heart became hot for a while, and he even trembled with excitement.

Hundreds of officials take the life of the people as their merit, and he takes the death of all the officials as their merit.

Zhu Di waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Looking at this scene, Zhen Wu sighed in his heart, many people may not be able to sleep this night, or many people may start to sleep forever this night.

Sure enough, it was not as Zhen Wu expected.

That night, Jin Yiwei ransacked the residences of seven or eight courtiers, and this was obviously just the beginning. Jin Yiwei took Jing Qing's connections as the center to spread, and countless Jin Yiwei in flying fish suits led the team to run in the capital. Then galloped in all directions from the capital.

Carrying flags and riding horses, Jinyiwei Tiqi began to appear on various official roads, and they whizzed past with orders to destroy their families and homes.

Many old people were frightened, and they all recalled the Lanyu case when Emperor Hongwu was there.

In Jin Yiwei's imperial prison, people kept being locked in and dead bodies were carried out, and the momentum was so strong that under the leadership of Ji Gang, it seemed that they were catching up with their predecessors, and even surpassed them.

Mentioning Jinyiwei for a while has the effect of stopping a child from crying.

However, these obviously do not affect Zhen Wu and his group of Jingnan heroes. Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others are all enjoying watching the theater in a low-key way these days, wondering who will be killed today. Locked in Jinyiwei.

They are all warriors on the battlefield, and they are used to seeing dead people for a long time, and no one will try to dissuade Zhu Di from killing less.

Moreover, they live a thorough life, and they all know that this world is created by killing, and it is not the respect of all people and officials that can be won by being tolerant to others.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, this is the maxim.

Even if Zhu Di needs to compromise on some things, Zhu Di also needs to tell them one thing in advance, that is, if I want to kill you, you can't fucking run away.

Everyone needs to be clear about this.

It was at this time that something affected Zhen Wu's mood while watching the play.

The people he sent to find Zhang Pu finally found Zhang Pu, and brought Zhang Pu and others back to the capital.

……

Chapter 322 - Hongwu's last year in Peiping

Zhang Pu and others who had been hiding in the deep mountains for several months, although their bodies had been washed and changed into new clothes, the exhaustion in their hearts seemed to be unable to be relieved in the slightest.

They all have a feeling that one day in the cave is a thousand years in the world.

They didn't understand how King Yan could secure the throne in just a few months.

They even felt unreal, but along the way, everything they saw for real had to make them believe it.

Zhao Guang has been looking at Zhang Pu with some resentment these days.

He originally wanted to vote for King Yan.

He should have been a hero of Jing Nan.

But what's the matter now?

A disheveled refugee crawling around in the deep mountains? !

Every time Zhao Guang thought of this, he felt like crying, and even in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but beat his feet and chest in annoyance, taking slow steps.

Zhang Pu generally understands Zhao Guang's mood. Speaking of it, he feels regretful in his heart, but now he has no choice but to comfort Zhao Guang: "The future will last forever, don't fight for the day and night."

Zhao Guang also knows this point, he can't compete day and night, so he can only go to the future.

However, Zhao Guang was relieved that Zhen Wu hadn't forgotten them, and the general who brought them to Beijing asked Zhen Wu that Zhen Wu had already been named Zhao Guogong.

That's the Duke of the state, and there are not many people above his head.

With such a No. [-] person to take care of him, the days to come will be much better than before.

However, Zhang Pu was more subtle about the matter of Zhen Wu becoming the duke of the state. First, Zhen Wu was his junior, and second, when he first became famous for Zhen Wu, Zhen Wu was not as good as him.

As a result, after all these years, that young man has skyrocketed, following King Yan, to a position he needs to look up to.

He has lived for most of his life and has seen countless outstanding young people, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Zhen Wu who has become a living legend.

This world really can accommodate all kinds of miracles.

……

The atmosphere in the capital was somewhat depressing, with a lot more atmosphere of military control than Zhang Pu and the others had in mind, but because they were led by General Yan Jun, they did not encounter any inquiries or difficulties along the way.

Soon, they arrived at Zhen Wu's temporary house.

The security here was heavily guarded, and there was a solemn atmosphere, which made Zhang Pu and Zhang Pu, who were not nervous at first, a little more cautious.

When they were led by Cao Xiaoman to the courtyard.

Zhen Wu had been waiting for a long time, and just as Zhen Wu got up to meet him, Zhang Pu and Zhao Guang had already bowed down to meet him: "I have met Zhao Guogong."

"You don't need to be too polite." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he supported Zhang Pu and sighed: "Fortunately, you didn't have any accidents, otherwise my conscience would be disturbed, and I don't know how to explain to my mother."

"It has nothing to do with Zhao Guogong. Speaking of it, it's because of my carelessness." Zhang Pu said.

Zhang Pu's expression was serious, neither close nor far away, making Zhen Wu, who wanted to get close to him, not know what to say.

Zhao Guang seemed to sense a little embarrassment. He smiled and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Zhao still remembers me?"

Zhen Wu looked at Zhao Guang, nodded and smiled, "How can I forget that General Zhao almost killed me at that time."

"That was a misunderstanding. At that time, I didn't know the relationship between the Duke and my elder brother Zhang. If I knew, it would definitely not be like that. Today, I was lucky enough to see the Duke again. I just made an apology to you. No matter what punishment you have, I, Zhao Guang, have nothing to say " Zhao Guang said, patting his chest.

Zhen Wu smiled and waved his hands and said: "I have heard about some things about you later. You are a good man, so how can I have any punishment, let alone you rescued me regardless of your life... My uncle, Zhen Wu Remember."

These words made Zhao Guang smile.

Zhang Pu's expression softened at the same time.

Afterwards, Zhang Pu asked: "I don't know if the little girl has contacted the Duke?"

Ok?

Zhen Wu was a little puzzled and asked, "Miss Zhang is not with you?"

Zhang Pu shook his head.

Zhen Wu became even more puzzled for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Guang quickly explained the matter, saying that Zhang Roujia decided to go all the way north in order not to let Zhang Pu worry about it. Now that he has never contacted Zhen Wu, his whereabouts are unknown.

Zhang Roujia appeared in Zhen Wu's eyes, and an inexplicable worry rose in his heart, and the turmoil of this worry hung on his face for a while, and it was not worse than Zhang Pu.

Zhao Guang hurriedly comforted Zhen Wu and Zhang Pu: "Don't worry too much. When I parted with my niece, my niece once said that if there was a crisis, I would try to contact the Duke. Since I haven't contacted the Duke now, I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe I hid in a place with my sister-in-law to avoid the disaster, but now that the war is over, maybe there will be news in a few days, we might as well wait for peace of mind, or send some people to the Northland to investigate. "

Zhen Wu nodded, worried and didn't think too much, and immediately called Cao Xiaoman to give instructions.

But Zhang Pu decided to go back to his hometown in Anqing to have a look.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Pu who was also worried about his family members, so he didn't stay any longer, and after saying a few words that he would ask Zhu Di for a reward for them, he sent someone to escort them back to Anqing.

After they left, Zhen Wu couldn't calm down. Thinking of that proud girl, he couldn't help but start to wonder why Zhang Roujia didn't want to come to see him in the critical moment.

Could it be the words of rejection he said when they parted?

Thinking about it, Zhen Wu recalled that when Zhang Roujia said that he wanted to go to Peiping to play, a thought immediately came to his mind, and soon he was almost arbitrarily sure that Zhang Roujia must have gone to Peiping.

Peking.

That is the place where he has lived and struggled for many years. His family, his wife and children all live in Beiping.

A strong thought of wanting to go back to Beiping suddenly rose in Zhen Wu's heart, and once this thought arose, it was like a monstrous sea wave and he was drowned in it, unable to extricate himself.

What kind of show is this?

Cleaning, killing people, what's so good about it.

Why don't you go back to Peiping in the name of picking up Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi to pick up your family.

……

Peiping.

The wind howls in September, often rolling some fallen leaves to the corner of the wall, accumulating in piles, and then drying them dry in the daytime sun, making people step on them, crisply shattered. into slag.

The temperature dropped suddenly in the past few days, and Mrs. Zhen's wife occasionally felt the wind and cold, which made the whole Zhen's house tense. Fortunately, Mrs. Tai's health has been good, and gradually improved in the past two days, which made everyone feel at ease.

On this day, after the doctor checked Mrs. Tai, he smiled and said to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai, you are recovering very well. You only need to take medicine on time these few days. Don't see the wind. I think you will die in a few days." It will be great."

This doctor is a young woman, dressed in white, with a somewhat out-of-this-world temperament.

Speaking of this woman, it is said that she is also the daughter of a rich family in the south, but the military disaster was a disaster, and the whole family fled to Beiping City, but it is a pity that except for some servants, the family has no adult males who can be the backbone. Few people want to bully and bully this family, but no one would have thought that the servants of this family are quite loyal and brave, even compared to the men in the north, and what is even more surprising is that this woman also has a good personality. Martial arts, with a long spear, those young people who beat them ran away with their heads in their arms.

For a while, no one dared to provoke this family.
