The twenty-eighth chapter should be the storm (1)

Chapter 28 Yingtian Storm (1)

In April of the 30th year of Hongwu, the northern border was victorious and was appointed as the commander of the Central Guard of Chenyang and the commander of the Liaodong Division of Jin and Liaoning.

In the same month, the Ning Wang Quan came to the vassal of Daning. The emperor appointed the three guards of Duoyan as the guards of the Ning King, and sent ten local garrisons to increase troops to the Daning Dushi. The Haizhou Guards belonging to the Liaodong Dushi, and the Fuzhou Guards were transferred to the Daning Dushi, and their number was revoked.

In June, the King of Liao was sick and stayed in a villa in Jinzhou. He was with the Princess of Liao all day long, wandering on the sea, avoiding things.

"Xiao Shu, let Xie'er go in. It's windy outside." The villa in Jinzhou is surrounded by mountains and seas. Today it is a veritable invincible sea view mansion. The sun sets and the sea breeze is gradually rising.

Bai Zhu ordered the nurse to take Xie'er into the room, but saw Zhu Zhi lying on the recliner, closing his eyes to rest.

Since returning from the grassland, Zhu Zhi, who is healthy and cheerful on weekdays, seems to have become a different person and no longer likes to talk. He usually does not tease the children in the mansion, but is locked in the study alone in the study and no one sees him.

Guo Xiu and Bai Zhu felt really distressed when they saw their husband like this, but no one asked Zhu Zhi, he didn't tell the truth, he just said he was a little tired. Guo Xiu felt that it was not a big deal to continue like this, so he discussed with Bai Zhu and went to Jinzhou to recuperate.

It was inconvenient for Guo Xiu to be pregnant with a child, so he asked Atractylodes to accompany Zhu Zhi to Jinzhou.

Perhaps everyone will be infected unconsciously when they arrive in front of the sea. After leaving the sea a few times, Zhu Zhi's mood gradually recovered, at least not in the room every day.

If you have nothing to do, you can go to the navy, or go to the shipyard to see a new ship, or take a fireboat to fish in the sea.

On this day, news came from Guangning that the soldiers of Haizhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard set out. Zhu Zhi, who was in a good mood, stayed silently in the yard basking in the sun.

This time, Bai Zhu felt why his husband was not happy, so he walked to the recliner beside him and sat down, gently covering a robe on Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi opened his eyes and saw Atractylodes' gentle smile, and also smiled: "Where is Xie'er?"

Bai Zhu said: "My nanny was carried in and fed her breasts. Why didn't you go fishing today?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Oh, I feel a little tired today."

Bai Zhu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm tired."

Zhu Zhi smiled indifferently: "Did you see it?"

Bai Shu said: "Hehe. It's been so long, when will you be happy and when will you be sad? Don't you know? Why? Are you reluctant to let it go?"

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, just, alas..."

Bai Shu said: "Before you come, my sister told me to have a good chat with you and relax with you. Why do I feel that you are not as cheerful as before?"

Zhu Zhi said: "It's like walking on thin ice. I'm trembling, how can I be cheerful?"

Bai Shu said: "Didn't you just win a big victory? Liaodong's various undertakings are booming, why should you worry about your husband?"

Zhu Zhi said: "It is precisely because all undertakings are booming. The so-called wood is so beautiful that this time, Liaodong won a great victory, but the father withdrew the two guards in Liaodong. Isn't it just that the problem?"

Bai Shu said: "I don't understand these things in a woman's family, but I just remember my husband said at that time. Do my best to do my best and be down-to-earth. I admire my husband's mind very much, so why bother with a little bit of worrying about a small matter?"

Zhu Zhi said: "This is not just a small matter. It shows the court's view of his husband. I have reviewed the development of Liaodong over the past two years. I also feel that I am a little too hasty. I am dedicated to doing things, but others may not think so.

In this era, it is always difficult to do something with all your heart and strength."

Zhu Zhi became more and more excited as he spoke, but Bai Zhu didn't say a word, just listened quietly. He gently stroked Zhu Zhi's back.

After Zhu Zhi finished speaking, Bai Zhu smiled and said, "Your Highness has been leaving the capital for four years. Should you go back and promote your birthday to the emperor and his mother? This year is the emperor's 70th birthday."

Zhu Zhi looked at Bai Zhu in confusion: "You mean going to Beijing?"

Bai Shu said: "Yes, filial piety is the first priority for children. The husband has never returned to the capital after he was a vassal. One is not filial, and the other is that he will give ulterior motives an opportunity to be called. Did you think so?"

Zhu Zhi immediately figured it out and slapped his head and said, "Haha. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, thank you, my wife, thank you!"

...

In the summer of the 30th year of Hongwu, the sea gods in the East China Sea were particularly prone to getting angry and sent rich water at any time. The typhoons generated on the sea spun towards the inland, and violent storms raged to the south of the Yangtze River.

Floods from all over the place were reported, which gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache. He was almost seventy years old. Life is rare in seventy years, and it has been thirty years since he ascended this throne. The following ritual officials are preparing for the 70th birthday of the Emperor in autumn.

They are all muttering about the ageless emperor in private.

The Emperor of Eternal Eternals? Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a wry smile. In recent years, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. In the past, the memorials of the day could be reviewed before supper. He still had free time to go to his concubines to listen to music and watch dancing.

But now, I am old and useless. I can't complete these things within the second update every day.

At this time, thunder was blowing outside the window, and a new storm was brewing. The weather was particularly hot and there were a few muffled thunders faintly coming from the distance.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and rubbed his sore eyes, opened the window, and a cool wind gushed into the room, causing his tired nerves to relax a lot.

The guard on duty outside the door suddenly saw the window open, and hurried over to check it out. He suddenly saw the emperor in front of the window and knelt down quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang's interest was disturbed and said unhappy: "What are you looking for? You know you have nothing to do to find trouble.

"The guards were so scared that they kept kowtowing like garlic. Seeing these people looking pitiful, Old Zhu sighed and waved his hand to signal them to go down.

Alas, it would be great if she was there. It was the same time when Chen Youliang fought in Poyang Lake and the same weather. After the military meeting before the war, he and his wife were rafting in the lake.

Under the thunderstorm, he was still worried about the disparity in strength and hit the wine glass on the table. It was his wife, quietly filling himself with a glass of wine, and then said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you lose. I will go back to Huai, and recruit five hundred children to make a comeback."

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly remembered that he drank all the wine at that time, holding his wife's hand and laughing in the wind and rain: "Okay, if you have this wife, Yuanzhang has no regrets in his life."

Thinking of Mrs. Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang was always so warm. She is waiting for her under the Xiaoling Mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, and it has been fifteen years. Xiuying, it’s almost time for me, and it’s almost time for us to meet.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his Spring and Autumn Period was already high, he couldn't help but sigh again. Although in his opinion, through the years of hard work, the old subordinates of the ancestors who could threaten the Ming Dynasty had been cut off. There were a few more sons on the frontier, which were as solid as a god.

The imperial system I created was perfect.

But if he paved the way for his grandson, would he make a mistake? Can this weak Yun Wen be able to provoke a thousand miles of land? I felt uncomfortable when I thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he sighed again, sat down on the chair. Recently, he sighed more and more. Is it because he is getting older?

He was picking up a memorial to prepare for review. A quick step sounded outside, and the eunuch outside the door sang the title: "Emperor, Tu Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, asked for a meeting."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a stern. What was going on to trouble the commander of the Jinyiwei to come here in person at night, it seemed that it was definitely not a trivial matter. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let him come in."

Tu Yi bent down and walked into the study. After seeing the ceremony, he took out a fold from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, news from Liaodong."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Can you wait for tomorrow for any news?"

Tu Yi said: "I dare not speak nonsense because of my humble position. I'd better ask the emperor to take a look at it myself."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the pleat, signaled the eunuch to light up the candle, and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed color. At the end, he slapped the pleat on the table.

At the same time, a lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a huge thunder "Karoon..."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned around and stared at Tu Yi and said, "This, is this true?"

Tu Yi was so scared that he knelt on the ground: "Back. Go back to the emperor, the spy below has great courage and dare not fabricate such news. Please tell me."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the folds and looked at them again and said, "Okay, I understand. This matter is not allowed to be rumored. You go down." Tu Yi lowered his head and lowered his hand.

After the morning court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Sanwu, Yang Jing, Fang Xiaoru, Ru Yu, Lian Zining and other five people to stay and go to the study to discuss matters. The king and his ministers were located. Zhu Yuanzhang first discussed with several people about the disaster relief matters in Jiangnan.

In the past two years, the country has been peaceful and the treasury has gradually become richer, so it is not too difficult to allocate some money. Zhu Yuanzhang also instructed the people to pay attention to the people-oriented approach when doing things, and do not be corrupt and abuse the law.

Lian Zining, who had been reinstated last year and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, hurriedly took it under his command one by one.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a fold and handed it to everyone to circulate it. Several people hurriedly circulated the folds, and all their faces showed a look of surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally took the fold and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

The ministers below looked at each other, and the oldest Hanlin scholar Liu Sanwu said, "Your Majesty, I am very serious. Should I investigate it carefully?"

Fang Xiaoru and Taoism: "What else are you investigating? How dare the Jinyiwei do something so big? In my opinion, I would like to summon the King of Liao back to Beijing and ask clearly."

Lian Zining said: "Will this matter be a moment of confusion when King Liao defended the border in the past two years? He has never forgotten the kindness of Lian Zining, so he has been ruthless and said good things to Zhu Zhi.

Ru Feng said: "In theory, the Liao king has been in a vassal for four years, and there are so many well-trained ministers around him to take care of him. Shouldn't he be so confused?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and knew that everyone was not afraid to be confused at this time. He picked up another fold from the desk and said, "Look at this again. This is the report of the Beiping Administration's impeachment of the Liao Dynasty to condone merchants and trade with Mongolian Tartars."

Several people read the memorial book again, and now everyone dared not say anything more. Liu Sanwu said: "If this is true, then the Liao King has done something wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "It's not just a bit too much, this rebellious son is simply lawless. If you don't have any objections, immediately take the Jinyiwei to the capital."

Ru Feng said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The King of Liao holds 100,000 powerful soldiers in his hand. If you want to arrest him, please make a decision... please make a long-term plan."

Lianzi Ning Heng glanced at Ru Feng and stood up and said, "Don't calm down, the King of Liao is loyal to the country, how can he do such a traitor? Find an opportunity to summon him to the capital and ask clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Jing, who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and Yang Jing said, "Your Majesty, didn't the Liao King invite him to come to the capital to celebrate his birthday? Since that's the case, it can be seen that His Highness, the King of Liao, has no intention, and what he did was just an unintentional mistake. It would be better to wait for His Highness to ask clearly when he entered the capital.
