Rebirth of Yongle Merry

The carriage drove out of the courtyard gate of Si Qiju, Shen Yunxu cast his gaze out of the window and remained silent.

"Yun Xu, are you still blaming Zhao Nan?"

Qi Kan said: "That child is stubborn. When Zhao Bei was still around, he held him in his hands and loved him. It's a pity that Zhao Bei's life was short. After he got sick and passed away, Zhao Nan's whole person changed. Laughing, and quite indifferent to people."

Shen Yunxu remembered the first meeting, because the flowers and trees he planted were not satisfactory, Qi Zhaonan once told him to get out.But after the dragon raised his head, he came with Shen Kunwu, but showed him a faint smile in the rubble, and he was a different person before and after.

He once rescued Shen Kunwu from among the collapsed bricks and trees.

"Kunwu and Zhaobei, do they look alike?"

Qi Kan shook his head, "No, it's just that they have similar temperaments. Zhao Bei is obedient and obedient, and has no scheming. Like Kun Wu, he is a very loving child."

Shen Yunxu fell silent.

Although he strongly opposed it, Shen Kunwu was clearly moved by Qi Zhaonan.Although Qi Zhaonan regards him as a stand-in for his dead brother, there is still one thing to be thankful for, that they don't look alike.

The carriage drove towards the North Sea, and then stopped in front of King Yan's Mansion.

After the greeting card was handed in, the soldiers guarding the gate raised the curtain of the car to check and then let it go. Shen Yunxu was not prepared for it at all, and he had already passed Chengtian Gate with the carriage, heading for the Longfu Palace beside the Taiyuan Taiye Pool in the past.Qi Kan didn't inform him at all beforehand that he was going out this time to pay respects to Zhu Di.

"Today Zhao Nan was supposed to come with me, but the child made such a mess, so we can only leave him at home to reflect."

Qi Kan opened his mouth to explain, and Shen Yunxu understood it.

The trip to Prince Yan's Mansion could not be rescheduled, leaving Shen Yunxu in Siqiju would definitely cause another dispute with Qi Zhaonan, that's why Qi Kan brought him out.Originally suffering from no way to enter Prince Yan's Mansion, he entered without any effort.Get off the car on the stone steps in front of the palace gate, Zhang Fu, the deputy commander of the guards of King Yan's mansion, is already waiting in front of the gate, seeing Qi Kan as a savior.

"Uncle, you are finally here."

Qi Kan glared at him, "I have something to do at home, so I delayed it for a while."

While leading them in, Zhang Fu lowered his voice and said, "My lord is not in a good mood today, uncle, you'd better be mentally prepared first."

Passing through the Guangtian Temple and going deep along the corridor, the three of them approached the study room, and heard the sound of teacups being thrown to the ground, and then a roar mixed with anger, "Qi Kan, what the hell is that old man?" Are you here yet?!"

Shen Yunxu's heart skipped a beat.

It was Zhu Di's voice that came from inside.He once asked him in the rubble after the dragon raised his head: "Are you afraid?" It was so gentle and intimate, but this time, it was as sharp as a sword.

Zhang Fu winked at Qi Kan, clearly wanting to express: "I've already said it", obviously because he is used to losing his temper with Zhu Di.Qi Kan shook his head helplessly, and raised his voice and said: "My lord, I have already arrived at the door, old man, and my hands and feet are slow due to my age. Please forgive me, my lord."

The room was quiet for a while, and then Zhu Di's voice that suppressed his anger sounded again, "Come in."

Qi Kan said to Shen Yunxu: "Yunxu, wait for me outside."

Then he straightened his appearance and stepped into the study.

Zhang Fu took Shen Yunxu to the small pavilion next to the study, and asked someone to bring him tea.

Shen Yunxu took a sip, the tea in the cup was up and down, the tea color was green and clear like emeralds, it was the famous Yuhua tea in Nanjing.Zhu Di was born in Yingtian and became a fan of Beiping at the age of 21. He still kept the habit of drinking Yuhua tea for more than ten years.Does he miss his hometown in the south when he holds the fragrant tea in his hand?

"Is your name Yun Xu?"

Zhang Fu was on duty, so he was dressed in a red robe with blue collar and swan feathers, white socks and black shoes, and he looked energetic. "I was at my cousin's place before, why haven't I seen you?"

"I have just arrived in Peiping, and now I am working for Mr. Qi at his residence."

From the first time I met this tall man, I gave him the impression of being gentle and always smiling. Shen Yunxu put down the tea bowl, "Commander Zhang, thank you for the cloak that day. I have always wanted to return it and thank you in person, but I have no chance."

"It's not worth being polite about trivial matters."

Zhang Fu had the boldness of a man from the north, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you are staying at your cousin's house, I'll be free in a couple of days, so I'll go get it myself."

Shen Yunxu smiled gratefully. It is impossible not to have a good impression of such a man.

In the small pavilion, Shen Yunxu and Zhang Fu were chatting eloquently, but in the study, the atmosphere of Zhu Di and Qi Kan's meeting was completely different.

Zhu Di slapped his palm on the desk, and said with a stern expression, "The Qi family's construction team has benefited a lot from the projects built by the government before. But when it's the turn to rebuild the collapsed houses after the disaster, you care about the interest. Prevarication, if you don't give a satisfactory answer today, you don't have to take half a step out of my king's Yan Palace!"

"My lord, calm down."

Qi Kan looked deeply helpless, "Reconstruction of the disaster-stricken houses, the responsibility of the Qi family cannot be shirked. However, the funds provided by the prince for the collapsed more than 300 houses are really insufficient. The old man took this project and rebuilt last year. Losing all the interest for the year can't fill the gap. I don't expect to make a profit, but Bai Gan still loses money. The prince wants the hundreds of people under the old man to have nothing to eat."

"Don't you think it's the king who keeps the money in his hands and refuses to take it out?"

Zhu Di stared at Qi Kan, "You have to understand the difficulty of this king. For this disaster, the disaster fund allocated by the emperor is only [-] yuan. After buying rice and shopping to resettle the affected people, the rest can be used in There is not much money for rebuilding. The [-] guan notes I set aside from my salary is already the maximum limit. Once the military salary is exhausted, when the Mongols call, what will this king use to confront them? "

"My lord, this gap is really too big, it's beyond the capacity of this old man."

"In terms of the number of houses to be rebuilt, the king will give up to [-] at most, and then you can think of a way in terms of materials and costs."

Zhu Di finally gave in, but Qi Kan was still wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"My lord, the cost has already been calculated several times. If we save more, even if the house is repaired, no one can live in it."

"In the hands of people, this king can dispatch part of the government army."

Zhu Di stood up, "Mr. Qi, go back and think about a solution. After three days, I will see the detailed plan. That's it for today. I will send Mr. Qi out."

Being sent out of the study by Zhu Di himself, Qi Kan didn't feel honored at all.This giveaway means that he will not take any money for nothing, and will also cheat him of the interest he earned throughout last year. When it comes to cannibalism, it is still the Prince Yan in front of him.Seeing the two of them going out, Zhang Fu stopped talking to Shen Yunxu, got up and greeted them.

Zhu Di told him, "You send Mr. Qi out, and then send someone to call your father over."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to the study room. In Shen Yunxu's eyes, only a handsome figure in white robe remained.

On the way back to thinking about his residence, Qi Kan briefly mentioned to Shen Yunxu the content of the meeting with Zhu Di, shook his head and said: "The kid from Zhaonan is messing around at home, and the project outside is being suppressed by King Yan, my old bones It's really restless."

Shen Yunxu wrote down his words and had his own thoughts in his heart.

Back at Siqiju, he first visited Shen Kunwu's room.Shen Kunwu had rested all morning, and his energy had improved. He was leaning against the head of the bed at the moment. Qi Zhaonan was holding a porcelain bowl and feeding him porridge spoonful by spoonful.The two of them seemed to only have each other in their eyes. Why didn't he find out that the relationship was so entangled?Shen Yunxu walked to the door, neither entering nor retreating.

"Son."

When Shen Kunwu saw his figure, he stopped talking and looked over with anticipation in his eyes.

Shen Yunxu originally wanted to turn around and go back, but in this way, he could only step over the threshold.

Qi Zhaonan put down the porridge bowl, stood up with a cold face, "I'll see you later", and then walked out of the room.The porridge bowl bottomed out, and Shen Kunwu was probably full. Shen Yunxu stretched out his hand to help him lie down, "Doesn't it hurt to sit? You should lie down."

There is actually a soft cushion under Shen Kunwu's body, he explained: "Brother Qi helped me get it."

No matter how much grievance Shen Yunxu had towards Qi Zhaonan, he could only dispel it at this moment.

"Kunwu, can you really tell what kind of feelings you have for Qi Zhaonan? Are you willing to be his brother's substitute, and you just feel pity for him?"

"If he's been nice to me all his life, what does it matter if he's a substitute?"

Shen Kunwu lowered his head, "Brother Qi kept a straight face when he went out yesterday. It turned out that he was upset because I asked the young master for the answer. I told him that we would leave Peiping after the young master finished his work, so he became excited , kept hugging me and refused to let go, and asked me to promise that I would not go back to Jiangnan with you.... He is really pitiful, so I, I promised him."

"Then he will force you to do that kind of thing with him?"

"no."

Shen Kunwu's voice was like a gnat, "Brother Qi didn't mean to hurt me, he, it's his first time."

Shen Yunxu ground his teeth rattlingly, Qi Zhaonan was afraid that he would take him away, so he acted first and took Shen Kunwu into his palm.He didn't even have a chance to object if he cut first and played later.This hateful guy just snatched away the servant who had been with him since he was a child!

"Young master, do you blame me?"

Shen Kunwu looked over carefully, and Shen Yunxu glared at him indignantly, "From tomorrow on, I will teach you how to build and modify a garden. It's not too late for you to start now, and you will gradually understand more from the simple learning." Even if you're with Qi Zhaonan, he won't look down on you."

"Young master, you mean you don't blame me?"

Shen Kunwu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and Shen Yunxu tapped his forehead, "You, when will you become smarter?"

At the same age of 16, Shen Yunxu had also been wasted before.

After his father died, he took his servants to seek refuge with his widowed aunt. When he first arrived in Hangzhou, he met Feng Ziyao.In a foreign land, that person was really kind to him, and he was moved by it.It's just that later Feng Ziyao became obsessed with his official career, and when he heard that the other party was going to marry the official lady, he cut off contact with him.

He was accepted as a disciple by Fang Xiaoru, but he just performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, but he has not actually studied with him.So not many people knew about this important relationship. He met Feng Ziyao in the inn, and then something happened.Whether it was Feng Ziyao's letter to the Xingfu, he may never have an answer to this question.

After dinner, Shen Yunxu returned to his room, spread out the paper, picked up a charcoal pen, and began to draw out the ideas in his heart.

The houses that collapsed in this dragon's head rise are all located in Nancheng.At that time, Kublai Khan built a new city on the basis of the golden man's palace, but the old city was not demolished, so the phenomenon that the new city was prosperous and the old city was depressed.The power of the dragon raising its head is enormous, but it is not considered a disaster, and that is the reason.

Shen Yunxu and Shen Kunwu entered Beiping through the Shuncheng Gate in the south, and stayed in Nancheng for a few days after that. They had a general impression of the pattern there, so he thought that his idea should be able to help Qi Kan solve the problem.

Drawing and painting, stopping to think from time to time, Shen Yunxu didn't finish until the rooster crowed.

He fell asleep on the desk tiredly, until he was awakened by someone, and the sun was already shining outside, and the spring scenery was bright.

"My lord, why did you fall asleep on the table again?"

Shen Kunwu picked up the robe that had slipped to the ground for him, and Shen Yunxu straightened up, with confusion still in his eyes.Someone shook his hands in front of him, and he opened his eyes wide, but he didn't respond for a long time.

"Yunxu, are you alright?"

The other party spoke suspiciously, and Shen Kunwu interjected next to him, "Don't worry, my son has always had this problem of getting up early. After he opened his eyes and woke up, it took a while to recognize people clearly."

The man laughed loudly, "This is the first time I've heard of such a problem."

Shen Yunxu's mind gradually recovered, and the person speaking in front of him was none other than Zhang Fu, the Deputy Commander of the Guards whom he had only met yesterday at the Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Yandi Luantan (both historical data and gossip)" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The eighth bomb: General of Yan Di.

Zhu Di's first general, Zhang Yu, served as the Privy Councilor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty fell, he left Mobei, and later returned to the Ming Dynasty. The "Battle of Jingnan" started, Zhu Di led thousands of people to attack from the southwest side of the city, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Tan Yuan stormed from the front, and defeated Geng Bingwen from both sides. First big win on the road.

But there is no forever smooth road in the world, and Zhu Di is no exception.On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Jianwen (1400), Zhu Di and his subordinates were intercepted by troops led by Sheng Yong, and they were defeated in Dongchang (now Liaocheng, Shandong). Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and Zhu Di was also trapped.Zhang Yu was shortlisted for rescue, but was beheaded. Zhu Di lost his beloved general and was forced to return to Beiping in desperation. This is the "Battle of Dongchang" recorded in history books.

Zhang Yu's eldest son, Zhang Fu, was canonized as a British Duke after Zhu Di ascended the throne, and he was hereditary.He once led tens of thousands of troops to quell the Annan Rebellion, made great achievements, and finally died in the rebellion in the Tumubao Incident.
