Xu Yihua's question made Zhu Di unable to answer for a while.
Of course he had his own little thoughts about staying in Liaodong.
Liaodong is very close to Peiping. He has been operating in Peiping for so many years, and his forces are intricately connected and cover a wide range.
Although Dao Yan was responsible for many things before, most of the key points are known, and now it can operate smoothly even without Dao Yan.
For example, Zhu Di created a secret organization similar to the Imperial Guards of the Capital.
Including many other aspects, those civil servants who did not support him were basically executed in the name of corrupt officials.
If you go to Japan, you will really have to start over from scratch. Twelve years of hard work will be ruined in one day.
So as Xu Yihua said, what exactly is it that she wants?
To manage power in Liaodong, with strong troops and strong horses, to separate one side?
Do you listen to the tune but not the propaganda?
Zhu Di was a little confused.
These days, he has been pursuing the matter of staying in Liaodong, and now he basically has hope. But when he was asked this question, it seemed that the hope that made him excited became worthless.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
I don't know since when, Yao Guangxiao's continuous narration has planted a seed in his heart.
The seeds have not germinated yet, but they have already had a great impact.
"Yihua, tell me how we should choose."
After a long time, Zhu Di sighed and asked.
He really didn't know what to do.
Hearing this answer, Xu Yihua also fell silent.
Originally she was asking King Yan, but now King Yan is asking again.
There are many choices for the future, but at this corner, no one knows how to choose.
"It would be great if Daoyan was here."
Zhu Di sighed.
After losing Daoyan, Zhu Di felt that he didn't know what to do in many aspects. In the past, when Daoyan was around, no matter what the matter or problem was, he could immediately figure out a solution.
Maybe now that Dao Yan is still here, there is no need to consider so many things. Even the grandson can make good arrangements.
After Xu Yihua hesitated for a while, he said: "Now I heard that Master Daoyan has become a national counselor in Goryeo, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, and will cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in conquering Japan."
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, write a letter and ask Master Dao Yan what he means? I think Master Dao Yan must have different ideas."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
But it quickly went out.
He shook his head and said: "Of course Dao Yan will not refuse. I believe it is not that easy to give it away."
"I have also heard about the situation in Goryeo. The entire Goryeo was almost infiltrated by Taisun's chamber of commerce. The army led by Daoyan after he passed over was the integration of Taisun's operations for many years."
"That is to say, the people around Master Dao Yan are all under the command of the Grand Sun. Not only will it make it difficult for Dao Yan to send the message, but once it is noticed, it will be even more dangerous for us."
"It took a lot of effort to get the great grandson and the father to relax a little bit. When a big disaster comes, even if the great grandson doesn't say it clearly, he will deal with it secretly."
After hearing Zhu Di's analysis, Xu Yihua also knew that the idea just now was a bit taken for granted.
However, Zhu Di turned around and said, "My concubine's words really reminded me."
"It's hard to send a letter, but it will be easy to talk when we meet. It all has to be done to conquer the Japanese country. I believe that with Daoyan's ability, we will be able to defeat the Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop."
"At that time, I met Daoyan in the Japanese nation."
When Zhu Di said this, his originally somewhat decadent spirit suddenly became energetic.
He has been with Dao Yan for many years and he knows his temperament.
Now that Daoyan has chosen to join Taisun, in fact, from Zhu Di's point of view, he has no intention of blaming him.
Under the current circumstances, Taisun's only choice was to target Daoyan, otherwise he would have to die of old age in Tianjie Temple.
Dao Yan was very familiar with Zhu Di, and Zhu Di was also familiar with Dao Yan.
At his age, he won't miss any opportunity.
But he believed that Daoyan would never let him down after spending the past ten years together.
When his thoughts became clear, Zhu Di's mental state obviously changed a lot.
When Xu Yihua saw it, she felt relieved.
What she is most worried about is not her future life, but her husband himself
On a winter morning, the sky is pitch black.
The lights are on at the third watch and the chicken is at the fifth watch.
Today, candles are lit everywhere in the palace.
It's not because of the morning dynasty. Today's morning dynasty can basically be called the noon dynasty. There is no need to get up in the dark before dawn.
But today is the day to go to Xiaoling to pay homage.
Many vassal kings, including Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi, including many princes, grandsons, and princesses, all had to go.
And this year's memorial ceremony is a little different.
Because this is the first memorial ceremony for the prince this year.
Outside Qianqing Palace.
Many royal heirs gathered together and stood quietly.
Snowflakes were flying and falling on their shoulders, but no one was there to brush them away.
There was solemnity and silence.
After a while, the gate of Qianqing Palace opened.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out slowly with the support of Zhu Ying.
On this special day, everyone is dressed in black to show solemnity.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these children, and then slowly walked into the wind and snow.
Next to him, Liu He held an oil-paper umbrella to protect His Majesty from the wind and snow.
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but did not order to take it away.
Because the eldest grandson is also by his side.
Zhu Ying turned her eyes and saw a beautiful woman in front of the crowd.
She stood next to Zhu Yunwen. There was no doubt that this was the Lu who had never been seen before.
At this moment, Lu's delicate face was full of sadness.
Zhu Ying knew that it was not an act, but a real sorrow.
Perhaps Lu was the one who felt most sad about the prince.
Because, that is the husband she lives with day and night.
In a person's life, the ones who accompany him the longest are neither his parents nor his children.
Only your lover is the one who wakes up every morning and is by your side.
Apart from patrolling the area, the prince has not taken any more concubines in the past ten years.
Every morning, it was Mr. Lu who dressed him.
Every night late at night, it was Lu who lit the lamp and added oil.
Ten years are like one day.
Lu's heart has long been tied to Prince Zhu Biao.
In this era, no one cares about her feelings.
I don’t know how she survived the first few days after the death of Prince Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed his eldest grandson's gaze and also noticed the wife of his former eldest son.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very satisfied with Lu, otherwise he would not have allowed her to become his stepwife and crown princess.
But for now, the reason why the eldest grandson doesn't go to the East Palace may have something to do with the Lu family.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about this and just let his grandson arrange it.
The Xiaoling Mausoleum is located on the hill behind the imperial palace.
Not too far away, we arrived when the sky was slightly bright.
Visiting Xiaoling again, Zhu Ying was filled with emotions.
To be honest, in fact, whether it is to Empress Ma or Prince Zhu Biao, it is difficult to talk about how sad they are.
People all follow their own feelings.
Zhu Ying had no contact or memory of the past before this.
Generally speaking, Zhu Ying's current mood may be more related to the old man.
This place is the royal family, or in other words, all members of Lao Zhu's family are here.
They are the most noble people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Jinyi Guards and Xiaoling Guards were all dispatched.
The area ten miles outside the Xiaoling Mausoleum is strictly guarded. Anyone who comes into contact without authorization will be killed first and reported later.
"Sister, today we are bringing our eldest grandson to see you."
Zhu Yuanzhang choked with sobs.
In front of the older sister, he is the original Zhu Chongba.
There is no dignity at all, only sadness and loneliness.
Scenes of getting along with big girls in the past kept flashing in my mind.
When I came back to my senses, tears were streaming down my face.
"My grandson, Zhu Xiongying, pays homage to grandma."
Zhu Ying knelt down and kowtowed, and said seriously.
Although it cannot be said to be sad, for Queen Ma, the grandmother of her own body.
Zhu Ying still admires him very much.
That sentence: All women in our Ming Dynasty, no matter poor, rich or humble, can wear royal clothes, phoenix crowns and harems when they marry.
Even in later generations, it has always been passed down.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty of the Han people, Queen Ma's contribution is even though there are not many records in the official history.
But Zhu Ying, who is now in contact with her, certainly knows it in her heart.
Before that, only Queen Ma could stop the old man's violent killing.
After Zhu Ying worshiped, they worshiped one by one in order of eldest and youngest.
Zhu Ying watched silently.
Among the many children, the ones who were most saddened to pay homage to Empress Ma were not the sons Zhu Pang and Zhu Fan.
It was the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Ning Guo, who was already married.
There is also the legitimate daughter Princess Anqing.
The two girls cried the most heart-wrenchingly.
This is the first time Zhu Ying has met these two aunts.
Because she got married a few years ago, there was no seat for the princess at yesterday's royal private banquet.
For example, large banquets that the princess and her consort can attend are usually scheduled until the seventh day of the first lunar month or later.
The daughter who is married off, the water that is thrown out.
Even for royal women, the concept is almost the same. However, the status of a born noble is naturally different from that of women from ordinary families.
The appearance is not particularly outstanding, the eldest princess, Princess Ningguo, is more dignified, and the second princess, Princess Anqing, looks more virtuous.
In terms of temperament, the children of Lao Zhu's family have always been excellent.
Queen Ma stayed here for almost more than an hour.
Mainly because of the memory of Zhu Yuanzhang.
No one dared to disturb him at this time, including Zhu Ying.
Even if it gets dark, you still have to wait.
Behind the temple, the officials in charge of the shrine also started talking quietly.
"Is that His Highness Taisun? He looks familiar."
"Nonsense, His Highness came here a few months ago. You have forgotten that I was the one who received you."
"After all, my father-in-law has a keen eye. I knew that my grandson's identity was unusual. I still remember that after His Highness the grandson left, my father-in-law gave special instructions."
"Don't tell me, His Highness the Grand Sun is indeed somewhat similar to the Queen."
A few months ago, Zhu Ying came to Xiaoling and paid homage to himself.
Naturally, I have also been to Queen Ma’s mausoleum.
The old eunuch who was in charge of the palace supervisor at that time somewhat recognized Zhu Ying.
Later, Zhu Ying's story spread, and the entire palace supervisor also knew about it.
Since that time, Zhu Ying came here for the second time.
When leaving Queen Ma's mausoleum, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little reluctant to leave.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has no ambitions. He wants to stay here for the rest of his life.
"Sister, don't be too anxious down there. I originally planned to come see you earlier, but I can't do that now."
"The great grandson is back. We have to guard him and help him to govern the Ming Dynasty."
"Nowadays, many people in the government and the public are still not convinced by Da Sun. Without our help, Da Sun will not be able to do well."
"Our eldest grandson is very promising. He is just like you said back then. He is an upright man and is better than all of us."
"When Dasun gets everything under control, we will come down to accompany you."
Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one in the room. After saying these inner words, he slowly left.
The group of people quickly went to the east side of Xiaoling Tomb.
That's where Prince Zhu Biao is.
Prince Zhu Biao is known as the most stable prince in the history of ancient and modern dynasties.
All kings surrender without any second thoughts.
If Zhu Biao is not dead, there is no possibility of Zhu Di rebelling.
The eldest brother is like father. Among the younger brothers of the vassal king, Zhu Biao's dignity is sometimes even higher than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is also the successor whom Zhu Yuanzhang put almost all his efforts into cultivating.
Assisted by the most luxurious civil servants and generals.
In other words, if Zhu Biao was still there, Lan Yu Huaixi's generals would also have to obey him.
She is more docile than Zhu Ying is now.
The relationship between Lan Yu and Zhu Biao is even closer.
From the beginning, Lan Yu existed as Zhu Biao's confidant.
This is why Lan Yu was so brilliant in the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Biao was alive. Even if he made some rude remarks, Zhu Yuanzhang would just laugh it off.
Even if he committed a serious crime, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up the title of Duke of Lan Yuliang. At most, he changed "Liang" to "Liang" as a warning.
There is a joke in later generations that if Zhu Biao rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang would directly prepare an abdication edict and even put on a dragon robe for his son.
If there are not enough troops, send troops personally to support.
