Daming: From the end of Hongwu

But Xiao Liu stood in front of him, looked at him with red eyes, and finally threw himself into his arms.

"Brother, let's stay at home, Xiao Liu will accompany you." Xiao Liu said sullenly.

Zhen Wu was taken aback, then realized that Xiao Liu must have gotten some rumors about him outside, he laughed, rubbed Xiao Liu's head and said: "You little girl, what are you worrying about. "

"I'm not worrying about it."

"Okay, okay." Zhen Wu suddenly said with a bit of a mood: "Well, how about going to shoot arrows with my brother, my body is almost rusted, let's just compare, if you beat me, I will let you choose I have something for you."

"Okay." Xiao Liu responded crisply.

Then the two walked towards the archery range.

After some competition, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses. The two of you are either cheating on you or cheating on me. They are so noisy that they have long forgotten their previous agreement.

……

The life at home has always been demure and comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year arrived as scheduled.

And the New Year's day is actually not as light as the days before the New Year, because as soon as the New Year arrives, people start to be busy with all kinds of New Year's greetings and relatives.

Zhen Wugui is the Duke of the state and the governor of the Youfu. On the one hand, he has to meet many subordinates, on the other hand, he also has to go to the palace to pay a visit to Zhu Di, and then he has to go to the homes of some elders such as Tan Yuan.

In short, Zhen Wu has been busy since the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As the days passed, it came to the tenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.

This afternoon, Zhen Wu was playing with his children at home when Zhu Di suddenly came to his home.

Zhu Di didn't let anyone report it, and went straight to the back house. When Zhu Di saw Zhen Wu leisurely playing with his children, he raised his eyebrows on the spot.

"After all, you are also a duke of the state. How decent you are to stay at home and enjoy your children all day long!" As the voice got closer, Zhu Di came over and stepped forward to kick Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu was taken aback by Zhu Di's sudden arrival, but when he understood what Zhu Di said, he looked at Zhu Zhanji who was following Zhu Di with a strange expression.

Zhen Wu has heard a lot these days that Zhu Di often asks Zhu Zhanji to accompany him by his side.

Have the face to say him? !

Zhu Di blushed: "Can you be the same as me? How old are you? You are in the prime of life. You don't want to serve the court. What do you mean by having children and grandchildren?"

Zhen Wu grinned: "What Your Majesty said, I see that Your Majesty is still alive and well, in the prime of life."

"I use you to hold it?" Zhu Di said, staring at Zhen Wu.

"This is not flattery." Zhen Wu said with a deadpan face.

At this moment, Zhu Yuying heard the sound and came over. After seeing Zhu Di, Zhu Di asked a few gossips about life with concern, and asked Zhu Yuying to take all the little ones aside to play.

Zhu Yuying smiled, knowing that Zhu Di had something to tell Zhen Wu, she stepped forward and picked up her youngest son, and then called Sanyue, You Shu and Zhu Zhanji to play outside the house.

Standing in front of the window, Zhu Di watched Sanyue and the others playing outside, and suddenly sighed: "Sometimes I envy such a carefree age, but it's just a pity."

Zhen Wu didn't speak.

Zhu Di turned around and asked, "What? Are you still angry?"

Zhen Wu understood what Zhu Di said, shook his head and said, "I haven't been angry from the beginning to the end, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in spending time with my family."

"It's good if I don't have one. Speaking of which, I'm less misunderstood. If I get angry when I'm misunderstood, I'll be pissed off." Zhu Di said, walked to the chair and sat down.

Then, he went on to say: "As for the second child's insistence, you must also understand that whenever there is a chance to achieve our goal peacefully, we should give it a try. After all, the great enemy of Ming Dynasty is always in the north."

"I see."

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "However, there is always some worry in my heart. I feel that Li Jishou will not accept his fate so obediently. I even think that Li Jishou may be paying attention."

"His most likely plan is to kill Chen Tianping, and even for this reason he will not hesitate to ambush Huang Zhong and other Ming generals." Zhu Di said affirmatively at this time.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Di in astonishment and said, "Since Your Majesty also has this concern, why do you still have to do this?"

"Didn't I tell you, as long as it can be resolved peacefully, we should try to make peace. After all, everything is inference. If you don't try, how will you know?"

"Can…"

Before Zhen Wu could say anything, Zhu Di sneered and said, "But what? Let me tell you, there is nothing to do. All the people in the world, including you and me, have their own responsibilities. What I want for peace is to be responsible for Daming. Soldiers It is also the responsibility of the soldiers to take the risk of escorting Chen Tianping back, and if Li Jishou really dared to take the lives of our Ming soldiers after eating the Xiongxin leopard, then it is your responsibility, Zhenwu, to avenge their blood."

talking.

Zhu Di stood up excitedly, with the firm and stern light in his eyes, he said: "If Li Jishou obediently accepts his fate and lets the second child control the coast of the East China Sea in Annan, then I won't be bothered." Pay more attention to him, but if he doesn't know good from bad, just like what you said in the court that day, go and wash Lao Tzu's blood and wash the ass of Hu Shi."

Zhen Wu took a breath, stood up and said yes seriously.

After a while.

Both of them calmed down, Zhu Di stretched his waist and said: "By the way, I have heard that the place for practicing martial arts that you built at home is good, let's go, take me to play with two sets of guns, and let the group outside Little bastards, see what his grandpa is capable of."

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "This relationship is good, and I just happened to show off my collection with you, swords, guns, halberds, all kinds of bows and arrows, I guarantee they are all good guys."

When Zhu Di heard this, he became even more energetic.

Afterwards, a group of people went to the martial arts training ground, and Zhu Di played two sets of vigorous marksmanship vigorously. Zhu Zhanji and his group of little guys clapped their hands and applauded, making Zhu Di happy as if he was a few years younger.

And Zhen Wu thought about what Zhu Di said just now, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

What's the use of worrying all the time!

Just as Zhu Di said, all people in the world have their own responsibilities, so instead of worrying, he might as well wait for Li Jishu's actions.

If only the word "Da Ming" is used now, it is not enough to make people with ambitions outside the territory accept their wildness and bow down to their knees.

Then hit.

They beat him and changed color when they heard Daming.

Zhen Wu felt certain in his eyes, snorted coldly in his heart, and thought to himself: Then it depends on Li Jishou's choice next.

……

Chapter 380 - The Surprise

The twelfth of the first lunar month.

Du Sheng and other Annan envoys brought Chen Tianping back to the south, and Huang Zhong led more than a thousand soldiers to escort them. After arriving in Guangxi, they will join the five thousand soldiers led by Lu Yi and send Chen Tianping to Annan The capital, the successor king.

Everyone on this trip knows that there is no great danger in the territory of Daming. On the contrary, after entering the territory of Annan, some unpredictable accidents may occur. This is why most of the escorts for Chen Tianping will choose Guangxi The reason for the bravery of the soldiers is that it can save people on the road from the capital to Guangxi to eat horses.

Today's sun is very good.

There is plenty of sunshine, and there is a warm feeling when it shines on people's bodies. It makes people feel calm and thoughtful, especially suitable for travel.

The soldiers who received this errand at the gate of the city were all very happy and energetic. Maybe apart from the weather, they also ate well during the festival, slept well, and accumulated all their energy. reason.

With smiles, they confidently comforted the family members who saw them off.

Amidst the noise, Huang Zhong saw that when the time came, he began to gather his soldiers and line up for dispatch. The soldiers had no choice but to bid farewell to their wives and children, their parents, their relatives and friends, for their lives, for their responsibilities, and for their lives. Prepare to embark on a journey for the glory of Ming Dynasty.

A young soldier almost ran into Huang Zhong's horse accidentally because he was anxious.

His new wife exclaimed in concern.

Huang Zhong cast a glance and saw that the soldier's wife was still pregnant. His angry eyes softened for a while, but he still reprimanded him with his face: "What does it look like to be in a hurry? Hurry up and line up!" , being more stable in the future will also make your family feel more at ease."

"No." After the soldiers responded, they found their own team and ran over in a hurry.

Huang Zhong rode a horse and patrolled around, and when the team was all ready to go, he talked to Du Sheng and Chen Tianping, and then waved his hand, and the team slowly moved forward.

The family members who were seeing off followed reluctantly, each one still stretching their heads and shouting, talking endlessly to the soldiers.

After walking a long distance, they watched them off for a long time before turning back to the city with a sigh.

And among the people who saw them off, there was an unexpected person.

Pei Boqi.

He did not return south with Chen Tianping.

This made the officials who were seeing off from the Ministry of Rites a little confused, especially when Pei Boqi returned to the city gate, turned around and went up the tower, which made them full of question marks.

What the hell is Pei Boqi doing?

But when they saw the general standing upright like a pine tree in front of the city tower, they all suddenly realized that he was left behind by Duke Zhao.

But what did Zhao Guogong leave Pei Boqi behind?

Could it be that Zhao Guogong naively thought that Li Jishou would disobey Daming?

Trying to keep Pei Boqi as a backup? !

At this time, Pei Boqi had already come to Zhen Wu's side, and he asked Zhen Wu the same questions as those officials: "The Duke sent someone over yesterday to let the old man stay in Daming temporarily, but are you worried that Li Jishou will backtrack?"

These days, Pei Boqi has also heard about the political controversy between Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu, so it is not difficult to come up with this idea.

Zhen Wu had no intention of hiding anything, so he nodded directly, then turned to face Pei Boqi and said, "Mr. Pei is full of loyalty and reputation in Annan. If something happens to Mr. Chen, you can expose Li Jishou The crime of this crime will not make Li Jishou turn black and white, so it is more appropriate for you to separate from Mr. Chen and return to the south."

Pei Boqi frowned, and he couldn't believe it: "Although Li Jishou is cunning and cruel, but under the prestige of Ming Dynasty, is it possible that Li Jishou really dared to hit a stone with an egg?"

"Dare you dare, I don't make inferences, I only consider the possibility, and take the precautions I should do."

Zhen Wu stretched his waist, looked to the far south again and said: "It won't take long for you to see black and white, Mr. Pei may as well stay patiently for a while, if Mr. Chen returns to the south safely and succeeds safely, when the time comes I will send someone to send Mr. Pei south again, and according to what you and I discussed before, I will also choose capable people to help you fight against Li Jishu, of course, if there is any accident, then...hehe."

After that, Zhen Wu didn't say anything, but the meaning of it has been fully expressed.

Pei Boqi nodded, and then turned his head like Zhen Wu, looking to the south, but there was a touch of worry about Chen Tianping on his face.

At the same time, after the Ministry of Rites sent the officials back, the news about Zhen Wu leaving Pei Boqi was spread out in a short while, and with the chanting one by one, it soon reached the ears of Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and others.

Xie Jin couldn't help but sneered and said: "Knowing the current affairs is a hero, and with the current strength of Ming Dynasty, ten Annans are not opponents, so how could Li Jishou make an unwise choice?!"

"It's definitely not possible. There are two roads in front of us. Would Li Jishou still seek his own death?" Several clerks immediately began to speak in agreement and praised Xie Jin.

Instead, Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "If Li Jishou really had the guts of a bear, and refused to compromise, would he rather be broken than broken?"

Xie Jin and the others were taken aback.

The next moment, Xie Jin smiled proudly: "These words are easy to say, but how many people can have such courage when things come to an end, after all, it is death, and there are very few who can face it calmly. Others, did brother Shi Qi forget the agreement between you and Zhou Shixiu? You and I can't do it, how can a barbarian from a small country do it."

As soon as these words fell, the clerks began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and did not dare to say more about this matter, but they had also heard that Yang Shiqi and others made an agreement with Zhou Shixiu to release Jin when Jing was in trouble. On the day the capital city was destroyed, he served the country with his own body, but in the end, only Zhou Shixiu hanged himself calmly.

Later, this incident got to the ears of His Majesty today, and some people suggested that the grave was dug up, causing harm to Zhou Shixiu's family, but fortunately, His Majesty is broad-minded and doesn't want to care about it, so he gave up.

When Yang Shiqi heard Xie Jin talk about the past, a slight anger appeared on his face.

This matter seemed to be a vicious dog in his heart. It had been chasing and biting him frantically for a long time, and it was only recently that he suppressed the guilt.

Now that I see Jin's blunt mention without guilt, I can't help but feel a little displeased with Xie Jin.

But Xie Jin is now favored and trusted. Even if he doesn't like it anymore, he still doesn't say much about this matter because of his good temper. He just said indifferently: "Mr. Worrying about this aspect is not without reason.”

"Mr. Zhao?"

Seeing that Yang Shiqi mentioned Zhen Wu, Xie Jin didn't think much of it, but even more disdainful: "This is probably Zhao Guogong, who feels that his face has been damaged, and forced himself to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin laughed loudly.

Yang Shiqi was taken aback.

Can this be ridiculed?

And the few clerks didn't know whether they were sincere or fake, and they even flattered Xie Jin with embellishments.

What surprised Yang Shiqi even more was that Xie Jinbiao was very proud of this.

Yang Shiqi sighed secretly in his heart, didn't say anything more about this matter, and started to run his errands seriously, but in other places, people like Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Xia Yuanji and others were also discussing, Zhen Wu Keep Pei Boqi's move.

Zhu Gaochi was still smiling, and he never offended anyone.

But most of the others thought that Zhen Wu was doing too much.

Even if they didn't say anything clearly, each of them was guessing in their hearts that Zhen Wu was just like Xie Jin's words, trying to find face.

And when Zhu Di heard these gossips, he shook his head and laughed for a while, and after he finished laughing, a cold look appeared on his face, and after thinking about it, he turned around and awarded Zhen Wu's youngest son the rank of Captain Xiaoqi.

This made everyone confused for a long time. Even Zhu Yuying couldn't figure out what Zhu Di meant. Although it was just an honorary title and had no real job, it was only rewarded for meritorious service. Her youngest son was still breastfeeding. Can have a fart credit ah.

On the contrary, Zhen Wu didn't care about it, and just smiled after hearing it and forgot about it.

……

Time passes day by day.

On the other side, Huang Zhong escorted Chen Tianping and others, and finally arrived in Guangxi. After a little rectification in Guangxi, they joined the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Lu Yi and began to head towards Annan.

At this time, we are about to arrive in the territory of Annan. Huang Zhong thought of Zhu Gaoxu's point and Zhen Wu's emphasis on this matter, so he couldn't help but be a little cautious. Not only did he go to discuss with Lu Yi from time to time, but he even sent out horses to investigate. .
