Daming: From the end of Hongwu

It's hard not to make people wonder whether someone with a heart is contributing to the flames.

But what is the purpose?Just to annoy Zhu Di?Or drive apart Zhu Di's trust in him?

Thinking about it, Zhen Wujue's incident is a bit interesting.

He couldn't help laughing out again, and comforted the third child: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry, the world is cleansed by itself, your brother has never done something, why do you have to think of a way, since someone wants to say, Just let them talk."

"But…"

"Nothing but."

The third child was still not reconciled, as if he was the one who received the gossip, he felt aggrieved on Zhen Wu's behalf, and even clenched his hands into fists.

In the heart of the third child, not only does he want to beat up the nonsense, but he also hates Meng Ju, the positive character in the rumors.

I just feel that they are all wronging his brother, even if they are not wronging him, it will not do.

Seeing the third child like this, Zhen Wu couldn't laugh or cry, but he really felt relieved in his heart. After all, he didn't waste his family, and he didn't waste his thinking about the future of this little brother for many days.

"Okay, I have a plan in mind."

Zhen Wu patted the third child on the head: "Could it be that you know what to do better than me? But you must not tell your family members about these things, lest they worry."

The third child nodded worriedly.

Zhen Wu sighed and looked up into the distance.

He is the person involved in this matter, and he has seen more than others. This matter is by no means as simple as the third child knows.

He had to suspect that Meng Ju was playing tricks among them, which made him a little speechless. He hadn't deliberately targeted Meng Ju, but he didn't expect the storm to come to him first.

Is it really just a shot at the head?If the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it?

Or, if it's so lively, what's the deal?

But the more lively the story is, it doesn't mean that it will hurt anyone more, so since someone wants to play tricks on him, then let's do it.

Let you do whatever you want, but see what you have in mind.

"Let the bullets fly for a while." Zhen Wu muttered, and then told the third child: "My mother wanted to go to Xiaoling Village to pay homage to our father a few days ago, you go and prepare things, we will go to Xiaoling Village tomorrow .”

Big and small things are not as important as paying homage to your father.

Chapter 153 - Don't forget the underground people

The army is a place where the strong are worshipped.

It is also a place to believe in miracles.

In the past few years in the entire Beiping Metropolitan Division, few people have climbed from a small general banner to the position of a thousand households, so anyone who can do it must have something unique.

Late at night, Mengju looked out at the bright moon through the window.

He sighed softly.

Pity.

No matter how unique it is, it is useless to stand in the wrong team and go against the trend. How could Duke Liang forgive him lightly if he killed Chahan and Zhang Quan.

Now I can rely on Zhu Di's protection to be safe and sound, but what about in the future?

What's more, there is no need to wait for the future, Liang Guogong is not so patient.

The protection of the royal family is often the cheapest, as long as this protective shell is destroyed, Zhen Wu is not at their mercy? !

It's just a bit risky to stir up the wind and rain like this, but isn't that the meaning of his stay in Beiping.

In the middle of the night, Mengju sighed again.

……

In the early morning, with the smoke rising from every house, Xiaoling Village quickly gained a bit of movement and vitality.

The sergeants who returned home got up early, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the rest to go to the fields to weed and weed more, or to cut more firewood for the family, so that after they left again, the women and children in the family could save some energy.

The sergeants who have unloaded their swords and guns are not special in this small village, just like ordinary people, living peacefully and ordinaryly for three meals a day.

Zhen Wu took his family and drove the carriage straight to Xiaoling Village.

There are more than 200 households in Xiaolingzhuang, all of which are military households under Zhen Wu. For Zhen Wu, this can be called his base camp.

The group of them stopped at the outermost house of Zhuangzi. This family was Li Erniu's family. Zhen Wu was still a member of Zongqi's old team. Li Erniu was chopping firewood at this time. When he saw Zhen Wu, he ran away. Come out and push open the chai gate.

Zhen Wu waved his hand, and didn't exchange greetings with Li Erniu, but asked Li Erniu to take a look at the carriage tied outside while he was chopping firewood, and then Zhen Wu led his family to the north of Zhuangzi.

There is a small hill in the north of Zhuangzi, on which all the people who died in the battle in Xiaolingzhuang are buried, including Zhen Wu's father. This place has been densely packed with a few graves from before.

There is only one small road to get here, but because there are few people walking all year round, there are not only lush weeds poking out on both sides of the road, but also some strong grasses growing in the middle of the road.

Heavy dew in the morning.

Holding Xiao Qi in his arms, Zhen Wu swept the weeds while walking, and after a while, his trouser legs were wet.

For things like going to the grave, generally all the men in the family need to come, and the girls don't have so many demands, so this time out, among the few younger sisters in the family, only Xiaoliu is playful and followed.

Xiao Liu didn't think it was too heavy, he ran around in the grass, looking energetic, and the third child, who was carrying the sacrifices to the grave, reprimanded Xiao Liu from time to time when he was dissatisfied.

And Zhang Yuqing walked in the front, not saying a word, with a bit of sadness.

After arriving at the small hillside, Zhen Wu found his father's grave and walked over it. It took only two years for grass to settle on the grave. Zhen Wu pulled it out and threw it aside. Follow Zhang Yuqing and say.

"Mother, I want to engrave a stele for my father. While the old people in the village are still here, ask about my father's past deeds, and find someone to write an inscription on it, so that future generations can know about their ancestors."

My family used to be poor and couldn't afford a stele, and I thought it was completely unnecessary for an ordinary family, so I just erected a wooden board, but after two years of wind and rain, the handwriting has begun to blur.

Zhang Yuqing's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't hide his excitement, but he said without confidence: "Is this appropriate? Isn't it too ostentatious? No one else has it. If we just fix this, will it cause people to gossip? "

"What are you talking about? The other family is not a thousand households." Zhen Wu said indifferently.

Zhang Yuqing was always confused about the fact that his family was already a high-ranking official. Hearing Zhen Wu's embarrassment, he couldn't help but glared at Zhen Wu. Move, but still a little embarrassed to say.

"Your father never likes to show off in the past, will your father not like it?"

"I'm in charge of the house, I'm in charge of this matter."

Zhang Yuqing swept away the sadness just now, with excitement in his eyes, sat in front of the grave, and began to mutter: "Father, have you heard that our boss is going to carve a monument for you, you didn't expect it, the boss is getting more and more The more promising you are, the more you used to worry about suffering me, but now I don’t suffer at all, I eat well, I wear good clothes, and there are people who take care of me, it’s just that you left a little early, and you can’t see how the boss is now promising... "

Seeing Zhang Yuqing's gratified look, Zhen Wu couldn't help sighing, and he didn't expect that just erecting a monument for his father would make his mother so happy, so he suddenly thought in his heart that when the head-turning officer grows older, what will he do for him? My father tidied up a tomb and gave my father a big house to live in.

Zhang Yuqing's rambling words seemed to be sent to the underworld with the morning wind.

Zhen Wu's third son and the others knelt aside and placed the sacrifices, and slowly began to burn some paper and ingots.

After staying for more than half an hour, Zhen Wu pulled Zhang Yuqing up and returned.

There is an old house of his family in Xiaolingzhuang, but it has been abandoned for many years. Zhen Wu has almost no memory of it, but Zhang Yuqing and his father lived here, and now it is hard to come here, and I want to see it .

Zhen Wu also let Zhang Yuqing follow his mother to see old things and recall the past, because Zhen Wu also saw that Zhang Yuqing probably wanted to come to Xiaoling Village for a long time, but these thoughts were not good to talk to the elders and sages, I have been waiting for Zhen Wu to come back.

Xiaoling Village was already bustling at this time, those who went to the ground, those who carried water, Zhen Wu and the others walked for a while, and Zhen Wu was surrounded. Zhen Wu had no choice but to let the third child take Zhang Yuqing to see Wu Si People, I chatted with the dealers.

While chatting, I suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance.

"Yo, this is developed. You don't look down on me as a cousin anymore. What's the matter? Have you forgotten how my family helped your family in the past?"

"Talk, why are you dumb? Can't you tell what's wrong?"

Immediately afterwards, several women's voices rang out. It sounded like they were all complaining, both old and young, and their voices were raised deliberately, as if they were afraid that the neighbors would not hear them.

Zhen Wu was curious, looked in the direction of the voice, and then frowned. If he remembered correctly, the source of the voice should be Cao Xiaoman's house.

"What's going on over there?" Zhen Wu asked aloud.

The others looked at each other, wondering whether they should speak or not.

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Erniu, tell me."

Li Erniu didn't expect that he would be named, and his face was a bit embarrassed, but under Zhen Wu's gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "You let Cao Xiaoman choose your own soldiers. Everyone knows that soldiers are a good job. It’s easy to get promoted, so many people run to Cao Xiaoman’s house these days, and the one who was talking just now was Cousin Cao Xiaoman, especially because he runs frequently.”

Zhen Wu nodded, without moving his face: "How did Cao Xiaoman do it?"

Li Erniu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, it seems that no one has been confirmed yet."

Ah.

So much ink.

Zhen Wu knows that as his position gets higher and higher, more and more people will appear behind him and benefit from him, whether it is future or profit, more and more people will share the cake on him .

Just like he followed Zhu Di.

Zhen Wu doesn't like this structure very much, but I have to say that the loyalty of this structure is very high, and it is also a structure that is more applicable in this era. They will not let Zhen Wu fall because of their interests, and Zhen Wu will not He will try his best to assist Zhu Di because of his title.

Therefore, Zhen Wu also knew that the cake should be divided generously.

Since he asked Cao Xiaoman to choose someone, he was giving Cao Xiaoman a cake. This is the benefit Cao Xiaoman got from protecting his family back then, and it is also Zhen Wu's trust in him.

Cao Xiaoman can confidently choose people close to him, there is no need to avoid suspicion, after all, they are all from Xiaolingzhuang, and the whole family is here, so there is no need to say loyalty.

But there is one thing, Cao Xiaoman needs to understand, the premise is that he can suppress the person he chooses.

Because the personal guards involved protecting Zhen Wu's family members, they had a heavy responsibility, and Cao Xiaoman's lack of prestige should not cause someone to be negligent.

……

Chapter 154 - Xiao Liu is also a King

In Xiaolingzhuang.

After Zhen Wu briefly thought about it, he said to Li Erniu.

"Go and call Cao Xiaoman over."

Li Erniu should be the last, and ran towards Cao Xiaoman's house. After a while, Cao Xiaoman ran over closely following Li Erniu. Zhen Wu glanced at Cao Xiaoman lightly, and Cao Xiaoman's face turned red with shame.

No need to guess, Zhen Wu also knew, Li Erniu told Cao Xiaoman the matter briefly on the way.

Zhen Wu waved back Li Erniu and others, and led Cao Xiaoman along the dirt road in Xiaoling Village.

Cao Xiaoman followed obediently without saying a word.

Zhen Wu suddenly asked, "Do you know why I let you be Xiaoqi?"

Cao Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then said in shame, "I'm sorry, I let you down."

"It's not disappointing, after all, you are still young,"

Zhen Wu waved his hand, then sighed and said: "I still have an impression of your father, he is a cheerful and hard-working man, I still remember that time when you sent your father back, you chased me out and told me that you would definitely make it happen Like your father, you did it later, but I know the situation of your family, as well as my mother and sister, how can I not think more about you, so I transferred you to my side, let you follow along I'm learning something, and secondly, I want to give you some time to grow."

"Unexpectedly,

Just transferred you to my side, not yet on the battlefield,

First, because of my family affairs,

fought a life,

It's an accident, but you're fine,

So as long as you are loyal and willing to work hard for my family, I, Zhen Wu, will not treat you badly.

I say that, do you understand? "

Cao Xiaoman nodded in a daze.

Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing: "You know what a fart, I'll tell you directly, I use you,

It is to use your loyalty, so your personal squad, as long as you can manage it, you can lead the personal squad,

Still trying to protect my family as before,

What kind of cousin, seven aunts and eight aunts, etc.

I don't care who you choose,

Even if you choose a team of half and half boys, that's fine.

Is that clear? "

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu couldn't help complaining: "You didn't ask Xue Lu about this?"

Cao Xiaoman scratched his head and said, "Brother Xue said,
