In Duke Cao's mansion, Li Jinglong looked at the soldiers around him with a wry smile, as well as Duke Liang Lan Yu who was sitting across from him with a smile on his face. He felt helpless in his heart.

Because he had no recent contact with Zhu Yunwen, Li Jinglong didn't pay much attention to the recent news in the palace, so that the news of His Majesty's fainting had not yet reached Li Jinglong.

But now I know, and Duke Liang in front of me also made it very clear.

"In the past few days, I have asked Mr. Cao Guo to rest in the mansion. I also know that Mr. Cao Guo is extremely sad now, but he still needs to pay attention to his health and practice more."

Lan Yu said in a comforting tone.

Li Jinglong cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your concern, Duke Liang. I have been studying at home in the past few days and will never go out easily. I will trouble Duke Liang for matters related to the Governor's Mansion."

Hearing this, Lan Yu looked at the book of war on the table where Li Jinglong was reading, and said: "The book of war is the most troublesome thing. Cao Guogong needs to rest recently, so don't waste your mind like this."

"If you are interested, it is better to read more books on other aspects. His Highness Changsun has been paying attention to crops recently, and he has also reported it to the Agricultural School."

"I think Cao Guogong can think more about this aspect. As the saying goes, before the three armies are moved, food and grass must go first. This problem of food is the biggest problem."

"If Cao Guogong can make achievements in this area, it will be a great merit and great contribution."

When Li Jinglong heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Thank you, Duke Liang, for reminding me. I can think about this in the palace during the next few days."

"Reading military books is just a habit I have developed since I was a child. Your Majesty knows this, but it has no other meaning."

After hearing Li Jinglong's explanation, Lan Yu also nodded slightly.

Basically, the ministers and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty knew that Li Jinglong liked to study military books.

His Majesty also praised Li Jinglong on this matter more than once in court.

After all, he is considered a relative of the emperor, so Lan Yu will naturally not be too embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, Lan Yu asked: "I wonder what Duke Cao Guo has learned from studying military books recently."

"Why don't you speak up and let's discuss it together."

Hearing this, Li Jinglong was a little surprised.

Compared with Lan Yu, there is naturally a huge difference between Li Jinglong's achievements.

Lan Yu can be said to be the greatest general of the Ming Dynasty. He is unrivaled in marching and fighting. He is a truly famous general of the generation.

Although Li Jinglong performed well, the gap between him and Lan Yu in all aspects was not even the slightest.

Although he didn't understand what Lan Yu meant, after thinking about it, Li Jinglong still replied:

"I've been reading military books recently about how to set up a march. I'm also thinking about His Highness Changsun's training methods and how to use them with matchlock guns."

"The more I think about it, the more I find that His Highness Changsun's training program for the soldiers seems simple and even somewhat impractical. However, in fact, the emphasis is completely different from what I and others thought in the past."

"All the preparations for the soldiers trained by His Highness Changsun are reserved for the matchlocks. This is something I have never imagined before."

"When these soldiers were all equipped with matchlocks, the killing they caused was truly immeasurable."

There was a strong sigh in Li Jinglong's voice. In this regard, he was now completely impressed by His Highness Changsun, and he wanted to lead the matchlock soldiers to fight in such a battle.

Lan Yu's face looked a little surprised.

He didn't expect Li Jinglong to think of going in so deeply.

Regarding training, Lan Yu actually expressed his doubts when Zhu Ying first started.

Because it looks majestic, but it may be somewhat lacking in actual combat.

Later, His Highness Changsun explained to him in detail how to use the matchlock gun, and then he understood.

Unexpectedly, Li Jinglong thought of it directly.

"Now that Duke Cao Guo has learned this, he should be clear that some things should not be overthought. Some things have become settled by now."

"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I believe that Lord Cao Guo is not such a pedantic person. Besides, this is a legitimate matter. No matter from every aspect, it is in line with the law."

"I think Duke Cao Guo should understand the meaning."

Lan Yu said slowly, while saying this, her eyes kept staring at Li Jinglong's face, as if she wanted to see something from it.

Li Jinglong was able to speak to this point, and Lan Yu could naturally hear the hidden meaning.

That's why I'm so candid.

Li Jinglong's eyes did not dodge, nor did he avoid Lan Yu's gaze. Even when he cupped his fists and bowed, he looked directly at Lan Yu.

It may seem a little impolite, but it is actually the expression of Sapphire.

"Since the next month, except after the morning court, I have not been to Chunhe Palace to visit His Highness Yunwen. If Duke Liang is free or passes by, I would like to ask Duke Liang to help him visit."

As soon as these words came out, a look of satisfaction appeared on Lan Yu's face.

He knew that Li Jinglong had no need to lie to him in this regard, so the meaning was obvious.

This means that Li Jinglong already understands the situation and does not intend to follow His Highness Yunwen. He must abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

"That's the case, then I won't nag you too much. In this situation, there are other matters that need to be taken care of. There is no need to worry about the Governor's Mansion and Cao Guogong's here for two days."

"Take good care of yourself at home. I believe that in the near future, it will be possible for you and me to fight together."

Now, Lan Yu is relatively satisfied, but it is naturally impossible to say that she completely believes it.

Li Jinglong bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank Duke Liang."

Lan Yu nodded, and after being polite, left directly.

However, the soldiers guarding the front and back gates of Duke Cao's mansion had no intention of leaving.

Although Li Jinglong felt a little aggrieved, he had no choice but to accept it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's fainting incident, at this critical point, created a sense of undercurrent inside and outside the palace.

In fact, Zhu Ying thought it was nothing. She had soldiers in hand and was not panicking.

The key is that he is afraid that if he is fine, Lan Yu and others will cause trouble.

After receiving Guo Zhong's return, Zhu Ying was a little lucky. Fortunately, she had made arrangements in advance, otherwise she would have been in trouble.

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his eldest grandson and Concubine Ning waiting beside the bed.

After a little recall, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered what happened before.

Looking at Dasun, who was resting against the wall with squinted eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be moved.

After all, he is a filial grandson.

"His Majesty."

Concubine Ning saw His Majesty waking up and hurriedly came over to greet him.

"Thank you, how long have we slept?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty slept yesterday afternoon, not long ago." Concubine Ning replied. Gu Lan

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

After feeling it for a while, I felt that I didn't feel any discomfort in my body. I stretched and got ready to get up.

There was not much movement, but Zhu Ying still woke up,

"Grandpa, are you feeling better? Liu He, call the imperial doctor quickly."

Hearing Dasun's concern, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and replied: "We are very strong. We just need a sleep. Nothing will happen."

Zhu Ying disagreed and insisted on having the imperial physician come for follow-up consultation.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with a smile.

Soon, the imperial doctor was summoned. After taking his pulse, he said there was nothing wrong.

"Let's just say, if there is any problem, we still don't know about our own body." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, your body is related to the safety of the world. This is not a small matter, and there is no room for negligence."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and replied: "Okay, let's listen to Dasun. We are also awake now. Dasun, please go and have a rest. Don't be tired."

"Grandpa, grandson is not tired." Zhu Ying replied.

He is telling the truth. With Zhu Ying's current physical condition, she really doesn't feel much if she doesn't sleep all day and night.

"Don't be stubborn with us, be obedient and go get some rest." Zhu Yuanzhang said, seemingly unhappy.

"All right."

As Zhu Ying left, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Concubine Ning to leave as well.

"Tell me, what happened inside and outside the palace during the day and night we fainted."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yu and Liu He.

Liu He said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness Changsun has no other instructions except to stay by His Majesty's side. However, after Concubine Ning arrived, she ordered that everyone can only visit outside the palace and not enter."

"All the royal highnesses in the palace are here. There is no one else special. Only His Highness Yunwen, not long after Huichunhe Palace, went directly to the ancestral temple to pray for His Majesty."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sighed and said: "Yunwen is such a good boy with a filial heart. We did not misjudge him. This boy is as broad-minded as his father."

"Originally, we decided that he would be our grandson, but now that his eldest brother is back, we thought he would have some objections to us. But now it seems that he is a good boy."

After sighing for a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Wei.
