Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"Really?" Xiao Liu suddenly cried out in surprise, causing the little one on the bed to babble twice.

Zhu Yuying nodded.

Xiaoliu got up happily and wanted to hug Zhu Yuying.

Zhu Yuying interrupted Xiao Liu's movements with her hand: "Wait, there is a condition that you must agree to sister-in-law."

"what?"

"I don't know why the last three months. It's very annoying. You have to help me with March for a while."

"Ah?" Xiao Liu's face became a bit bitter: "When you were young, you let me take care of Xiao Qi, and now you let me take care of San Yue, Zhu Xiuxiu laughed at me several times for being the head of the child."

Zhu Yuying laughed and said, "Aren't you the head of a child? How about it? Do you take it with you?"

Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Take me, I'll go find Sanyue right now." After speaking, Xiao Liu hurriedly ran outside, Zhu Yuying looked at Xiao Liu's back and shook her head angrily.

Her sister-in-law.

It may be this immature temperament for a lifetime.

……

From then on, Xiao Liu began to stay at home obediently, either playing with Sanyue, or shooting arrows in the archery range by himself, day by day passed like this.

soon.

Zhen Wu, who had been away from the capital for more than a year, finally came back.

On this day, when Zhen Wu arrived at the capital city, it was already late and the city gate had already been closed, but this obviously had no effect on Zhen Wu. Not in the city.

Holding Zhen Wu's waist card, Cheng Liang called a few times from the bottom of the city, and the city guard opened the city gate.

After Zhen Wu and his group entered the city, Zhen Wu asked Ma Yi and Liu Zhi to take his family home first, while he took a few horses to the palace to return to his command.

After saying goodbye to Jin'er and the others, the horses of Zhen Wu and the others ran fast, and the horseshoes made a clear and rhythmic sound on the bluestone slabs in the city.

more than a year.

Liaodong and Jianzhou Wei have undergone great changes, but the capital still seems to be swimming slowly in the long river of time, still so peaceful, and still so rich.

The imperial palace is also like a giant tiger looking at the world, quietly dozing on its stomach.

After Zhen Wu arrived at the palace, he sent someone to report to Zhu Di. The eunuch didn't dare to delay, so he quickly uploaded it layer by layer, and it reached Zhu Di's ears in a short while.

At this moment, Zhu Di was planning to sleep with Xu Miaoyun in his arms, and when he heard the news of Zhen Wu's return, he jumped out of the bed.

He smiled with great joy: "My boy, I'm back at last, but I'll have to wait for a while."

He watched Annan's affairs three times a day, and he could hardly bear it.

Zhen Wu was the coach who calmed down Annan in his heart, and he had to discuss many things with Zhen Wu before he could implement them.

Under such circumstances, when Zhu Di heard that Zhen Wu came back, how could he keep calm, and immediately wanted to put on his shoes and go out to meet Zhen Wu, but at the moment when Zhu Di put on his shoes, Xu Miaoyun on the bed coughed dissatisfied twice as a reminder.

amount.

Zhu Di suddenly realized that his wife was still on the bed.

He turned his head to look at Xu Miaoyun shyly, and just wanted to explain a few words, but Xu Miaoyun seemed to have guessed Zhu Di's mind, and he glanced at Zhu Di with his beautiful eyes, and said in a strange tone: "It doesn't matter if I am a concubine. After all, your Majesty's state affairs are the most important. It's just that the concubine feels bitter for Yuying. Her husband-in-law was beaten to the sky by her father, and it's fine if he hasn't seen anyone for more than a year. After finally coming back, her father still wants to hold her husband-in-law back. At home, if the concubine knew this earlier, it would be better not to let Yuying marry Zhen Wu. Look at this big night, he didn't even have the time to reunite with Yuying. It's like something big."

This passage turned Zhu Di's face from blue to white.

Fortunately, Zhu Di also has a thick skin.

He took off the shoes that had just been put on his feet, and muttered: "You said that this Zhen Wu is true. He came back so late, and others still can't sleep. Besides, when he comes back now, I don't know what to do first." Go home and see Yuying, even if you come back tomorrow, what's the matter, can others pick on him? I have to talk about him until tomorrow, it's too naive."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di lay down on the bed again as if nothing had happened, and flipped over on Xu Miaoyun's body dishonestly.

Xu Miaoyun spat angrily: "You..."

Afterwards, Xu Miaoyun turned to the door and said: "Your Majesty has already fallen asleep, go down and tell Duke Zhao, and let him come back tomorrow morning."

The eunuch outside the door responded, turned around and retreated.

After Zhen Wu received the reply, Zhen Wu was a little confused.

When did Zhu Di change his personality?

But this is exactly what Zhen Wu wanted, he was worried that Zhu Di would drag him to chat for most of the night, and now he can go home, just in time to sleep soundly with his wife in his arms.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu turned around and headed home.

At home, Zhen Wu suddenly came back early, which shocked everyone in the family. Zhang Yuqing, Zhu Yuying, Xiaoliu Xiaoqi, even Sanyue and Youshu all gathered in Zhang Yuqing's yard.

Everyone knew that after Zhen Wu came back, the first thing he did was to visit Zhang Yuqing.

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing held Jin'er's hand, looked at Jin'er's belly, and said hello again and again, and the family is prosperous.

Zhu Yuying got the letter that Jin'er was pregnant before, so although she felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking that she had already lost two, and that Jin'er was her maid since she was a child, she has always been cautious and indisputable, so she let out the uncomfortable feeling in her heart. pressed down.

She smiled and said to Jin'er: "Your courtyard was cleaned up earlier, you can just go live in it later, and the maids prepared by my mother and I are also waiting in the courtyard. Your sister-in-law will accompany you there to meet you."

"Princess..." Jin'er said a little nervously and moved.

Zhu Yuying shook her head with a smile and said, "I know what you want to say, but you don't need to say anything. From now on, you can just take care of the baby in your stomach. Don't worry about other things. It should be yours. Everyone in the family will care about it." I won't lose you."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuqing was inexplicably embarrassed. After thinking about it for a while, she was afraid that Jin'er would be here all the time and would block Zhu Yuying's eyes. When I come back, I will just pull you. If you are not tired, the child in your stomach should be tired. Don’t accompany me now. The boss enters the palace. He may come back when he enters the palace. Go back and meet the people in the courtyard. Get ready to go to bed."

Jin'er glanced at Zhu Yuying, seeing Zhu Yuying nodding, she bowed to Zhang Yuqing and said, "Then Jin'er will leave first."

"Go, go." Sitting on the bed, Zhang Yuqing waved his hands like an old lady, and then he waved to Sanyue and Youshu, calling them two to come closer, and started chatting.

Soon.

The servants outside reported that Zhen Wu had returned and was walking this way.

Everyone in the room was shocked and stood up expectantly. Even Zhang Yuqing couldn't help standing up.

When Zhen Wu opened the door curtain and walked in, the adults hadn't moved yet. San Yue and You Shu ran over at once, hugged Zhen Wu's leg, raised their heads and shouted affectionately: "Daddy!" .”

Seeing this scene, Zhen Wu felt extremely relieved, as if all the fatigue of the past year was swept away at this moment.

However, just as Zhen Wu was about to say a few words to Sanyue Youshu, Xiao Liu also squeezed over, and she dragged one away with one hand in her hand. You haven't spoken yet, you two go first."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Liu smiled at Zhen Wu and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I miss you so much."

Zhen Wu's eyes were touched, but his face pretended to be disgusted: "Go and go, elder brother doesn't want you, my mother hasn't spoken yet, you jumped out and acted like a senior."

Afterwards, Zhen Wu put Xiao Liu aside with one hand and came to Zhang Yuqing. He bent down to support Zhang Yuqing's arm and said, "Mother, my son is back."

Zhang Yuqing nodded excitedly, but couldn't say a word.

Zhu Yuying kept looking at Zhen Wu tenderly, while Xiao Liu and Sanyue Youshu had already made funny faces because of the action just now.

……

After chatting for a while, the family went away late at night. When Zhen Wu and Zhu Yuying returned to their courtyard, Zhen Wu simply cleaned up and let all the servants go down.

He hugged Zhu Yuying, breathing on Zhu Yuying's neck, causing Zhu Yuying to make a seductive nasal sound, this nasal sound was like a flame that suddenly lit up in a barrel of explosives.

boom.

Blasted.

After the cloud and rain.

Zhen Wu held Zhu Yuying in his arms without feeling sleepy at all, the two of them were chattering and missing each other, and at some point, they suddenly mentioned Xiao Liu, which reminded Zhu Yuying that Xiao Liu had asked her about Xu Jingchang some time ago.

After she told Zhen Wu about this, she said worriedly: "The girl Xiao Liu has never mentioned other men to me, but she suddenly asked me that day, and I was worried that she would be a little moved by Duke Ding."

"What does Duke Ding mean?" Zhen Wu asked.

Zhu Yuying shook her head.

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, let's get to know each other later. If the two really hit it off, then let them do something good."

Zhu Yuying was a little surprised, she raised her upper body slightly and looked at Zhen Wu, and said anxiously: "This is not possible."

"Why not?" Zhen Wu asked.

Seeing that Zhen Armed Forces didn't understand, Zhu Yuying lay down angrily and turned her back to Zhen Wu. She said sullenly, "Even if you hurt my sister, I won't allow you to hurt your future."

Zhen Wu laughed, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Yuying over and said, "In your heart, I am a person who is greedy for power?"

Zhu Yuying shook her head.

Zhen Wu hugged Zhu Yuying vigorously and said: "After Annan and Mobei were pacified, I originally wanted to hand over the military power. To be honest, I am tired from fighting these years. I always want to give young people some opportunities. Soldiers and horses are not a problem. At that time, whether I am at home or have a job, I can think about how to improve the firearms and improve the domestic system. This is also a good thing for me. Of course, at that time there will be I spent more time with you, so I can spend time with you."

"But..." Zhu Yuying was still a little worried.

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "You underestimate the father, his heart is wider than you imagined, not to mention... the father has the most soldiers and horses, the little Zhen Wu, he can bear it." .”

Zhu Yuying wanted to say something else, but Zhen Wu shook her head and interrupted her: "Okay, stop thinking about it, Xiaoliu's matter has not yet been written off, it's not too late to talk about these things in the future, anyway, you just know a little bit and you'll be fine." , your husband and I, I don’t miss these powers. I am content with being a duke and son-in-law who allows me to do something for the people of Ming Dynasty. As for military power, I really don’t care. Years of credit, as long as I don't care about those military powers, no one else will touch me."

……

Chapter 365 - Land Power and Sea Power

at night.

At some point, Zhu Yuying had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Zhen Wu lay on the bed and opened his eyes. Some things Zhu Yuying may think are relatively simple, but Zhen Wu is in the temple, so he understands it more deeply .

After Annan and Mobei were calmed down, in fact, whether Zhen Wu wanted to or not, he needed to let go of his power and take a few steps back.

Even if Zhu Di has a big heart that can accommodate Zhen Wu, who has made great military achievements and is in charge of soldiers, Zhen Wu still needs to make this gesture to show the next emperor.

To grow old and not die is to be a thief, and this refers to Zhen Wu's situation.

Zhen Wu has made great achievements, and he is also Zhu Gaochi's brother-in-law. After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, if Zhen Wu still hangs around the court in a grand manner, no matter how big-hearted Zhu Gaochi is, he will feel tired.

It's better to step back and help pave the way for March.

Presumably Zhu Gaochi is out of consideration for the stability of the military, and he is also happy to see Sanyue gaining momentum step by step. After all, he is a junior, no matter what he does, he will not have any psychological pressure to scold.

Zhen Wu smiled silently. In fact, after that day, Zhen Wu felt that he might no longer need those powers. With his influence alone, no one would dare to ignore him even if he was at home. exist.

What is this called?

The pillar of the country?

He really didn't expect to walk step by step, maybe one day he could reach this height.

As time passed slowly, Zhen Wu gradually fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, it seemed that he just closed his eyes, and the next day came quietly.

It was already winter in October, and the nights were longer than usual. When Zhu Yuying woke up Zhen Wu, it was still dark. Zhen Wu asked the time, and when he knew that it was [-] o'clock, he started to dress without delay. Get up.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuying went to the outside room, and while asking the maids to serve the food, she worriedly asked how the younger son slept with the nurse yesterday.

The servant girl smiled and said: "Mammy Yu knew that the princess was worried, so she came over to tell the slaves a while ago. The servants saw that the princess and the uncle were still asleep, so they didn't wake up. Nanny Yu said that the young master woke up in the middle of the night yesterday. Once, after being coaxed for a while, he fell asleep again, and now he is in a deep sleep, and he said that when the young master woke up, he would bring him to the princess."

Zhu Yuying smiled reassuringly and said: "This little thing was honest yesterday, and I was worried that he would toss around half the night."

While the two were talking, Zhen Wu walked out after putting on his clothes and loosening his hair.

The servant girl bent her body and saw Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu nodded, then sat down and began to eat. After taking a sip of porridge, he asked casually, "Second brother is more difficult than Sanyue?"

Zhu Yuying nodded with a smile and began to talk to Zhen Wu about the difference between her second child and Sanyue.

Zhen Wu listened to his son's anecdotes about eating, and his appetite improved a bit. When Zhen Wu finished eating and looked at the time, it was almost time to leave, so he asked the maid to help him tie his hair, and at the same time began to think about it for a while. Some rhetoric and ideas when the palace was reinstated.

When Zhu Di met him this time, he was appointed to ask about Annan, so when Zhen Wu set off for the palace, he brought the memorial that he had been changing and changing before.

This memorial is about two trade lines.

One is the ancient Silk Road, an economic development corridor connecting China, Central Asia and Europe from the land, and the other is the "Maritime Silk Road", which is along the South China Sea, bypassing the Indochina Peninsula, and passing through Malacca The strait enters the Indian Ocean, then passes through the Middle East through the Suez Canal, and finally reaches such an east-west sea traffic route in Europe.

This is the way to make the economy of Ming Dynasty develop rapidly.

Once the economy takes off, many aspects of the country will also develop accordingly.

It's just that it is also difficult to realize this idea and turn it into real benefits.

Land power, sea power, and the combination of the two can realize this idea.

Fortunately for Zhen Wu, in this era, Daming was a very strong land power, while the ocean was still blank. With the existing technology, Daming was able to quickly occupy the right to speak on the ocean.

And with the right to speak on the ocean, after gaining huge benefits through ocean trade, it can strengthen the power on land again, open up the Hexi Corridor, and ensure that it is unimpeded.

When this idea can be transformed into benefits, Zhen Wu can't imagine what kind of changes will happen to Daming, but there is at least one thing that can be guaranteed: Daming will grow with prosperity and population explosion, and then Daming can migrate and spread to other places through the huge population. The surrounding area, in turn, drives the prosperity of the entire East Asia.

And at that time, the entire East Asia will belong to Ming Dynasty.

Daming will definitely be more brilliant and eye-catching than the Daming in history.
