Seeing that Sai Hazhi was leading the way and running very fast, but the road was not a shortcut, Xia Xun quickly called him: "Old Sai, you took the wrong road. You have to go around a lot to get to my house from this road!"
Saihazhi laughed, reined in his horse, and waited for him to arrive beside him. He said mysteriously: "Dao'er is not wrong. Just follow me, no need to say more."
Xia Xun knew there must be a reason as soon as he heard this. He nodded slightly and followed Sai Hazhi, just lashing his whip and riding his horse without saying a word.
Xia Xun secretly looked at Saihazhi and saw that he had a rough face and a shrewd look in his eyes that occasionally appeared. It was very different from the reckless and roughness he had shown before. His heart couldn't help but thought: "When I met him,
When we went to Daning City to surrender to King Ning, I knew that Lao Sai had always been a rough and tumble person.
Now that he has been in Jinyiwei for so long, the entire Jinyiwei is under the control of Ji Gang, but Ji Gang actually has nothing to do with him. He only treats him as a harmless fool and never cares about him.
Lao Sai is as wise as he is foolish, and is by no means as simple as he appears on the outside."
The two of them were just on their way, and soon they arrived at the Chaoyang Gate on the east side of the palace city. Because this was already within the confines of the palace city, civilians did not dare to pass here, so the road was quiet and deserted. However, under the shade of willows on the west side of the Chaoyang Gate,
At this moment, dozens of horses were parked. The horses were fully equipped with saddles and harness, and they were all tied under the big trees by the roadside.
There were some knights standing in twos and threes next to them. They were all dressed in powerful military uniforms and looked like warriors from a princely family. Saihazhi and Xia Xun rushed to the Chaoyang Men and stopped. Saihazhi got off his horse and said to Xia Xun:
"This is it, please come with me, Lord!"
Xia Xun didn't say anything. He dismounted his horse and walked forward with Saihazhi. When the warriors standing under the tree saw the two arriving, they all got out of the way. Xia Xun and Saihazhi arrived at the small river under the tree.
I saw a stone platform with a cup of tea on it. There was a person sitting next to him. He was wearing a green arrow suit and an indigo forehead bandage. Even though he was just sitting there casually, he had a domineering aura coming out of him.
When Xia Xun saw the man, he couldn't help being secretly surprised. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yang Xu, has met the Emperor!"
The big man with green arrow sleeves was Zhu Di. Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's not like you don't have to be polite in the palace. Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Xun saluted again, stepped forward and sat beside Zhu Di.
Zhu Di picked up a small purple clay teapot, filled a cup in front of Xia Xun with tea, and asked lightly: "You have been in prison for a few days, do you feel aggrieved?"
Xia Xun chuckled and said: "There are ministers in the court who are fighting against them. They have racked their brains for a long time, but they still can't hurt their roots. No ads in the whole word. The emperor strategized and eliminated them in one fell swoop. The ministers are in prison, but they are restricted.
After a few days of freedom, I can cooperate with the emperor to achieve great things, and I am so happy that there is no need to talk about grievances."
Zhu Di laughed out loud: "I know I can't hide it from you, but I can't hide it from you."
As soon as his laughter subsided, Zhu Di's expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Does Xuan and Dou Ke form a party of their own?"
Xia Xun was startled, thought for a moment, and replied with a straight face: "I have no comrades, only comrades!"
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "Oh? What's the difference between a comrade and a fellow party member?"
Xia Xun said: "The ancients said: People with the same virtue are of the same mind, and those with the same heart are comrades. And being in the same party is the combination of the same interests, which is called a partnership. If there are loyal ministers in the court, there will naturally be loyal ministers. The loyal ministers share the same virtue and one heart, and are loyal to the emperor.
Dedicated to the common people of the Ming Dynasty, thinking about the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty, they devoted themselves to death and died. This is a relationship between morality and justice. If they agree, they will come, and if they disagree, they will go. It is not a combination of personal interests. Therefore, this is a comrade, not a comrade.
Party. If the emperor thinks that this is also a party, then... I can be considered a royalist!"
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, then smiled again and said: "Come, drink tea. This is Junshan Silver Needle, the best tribute tea. First, quench your thirst. I left the palace incognito today and I am in high spirits. After drinking the tea, let's go to the East."
Suburban horse racing!”
※※※※※※※※
Out of Chaoyang Gate, on Purple Mountain, is the tomb of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Bigfoot Queen Ma Niangniang. At the foot of Zijin Mountain, Dulongfu is a large grassland under Mount Everest, which is the royal racecourse of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Zhu Di was riding on his horse, looking into the distance. The grassland was vast and endless as far as the eye could see. After staring for a long time, Zhu Di suddenly pointed forward with his whip and said: "Your horse is a good horse specially selected for you by Sai Hazhi."
The horse's foot strength is not as strong as that of my royal horse. Come on, you and I will go together, whoever gets to that hillside first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di whipped down his horse whip and shouted: "Drive!"
The red-maned horse galloped away like an arrow.
Xia Xun was riding a black horse with four hooves on the snow. He immediately raised his whip and galloped away after Zhu Di. The warriors all around stood up and followed closely.
The man is like a tiger and the horse is like a dragon. Zhu Di's horse and man are one, and the movement of riding astride the saddle is very coordinated. He rushes all the way to the hillside, suddenly reins the horse, and the horse stands upright.
Xia Xun did try his best, but his horsemanship skills were far inferior to Zhu Di's. The two front hooves of the horse under Zhu Di's crotch, as big as a bowl, suddenly landed on the ground, making a muffled "boom" sound.
After the sound, Xia Xun's horse rushed to Zhu Di's side.
Zhu Di laughed loudly and looked around, only to see dozens of fast horses galloping towards him, their hooves in the air, their belly touching the top of the grass. Looking further, the mountains and rivers were continuous and magnificent.
"Qiang!" There was a sound of ground, and Zhu Di's long sword was unsheathed and pierced the sky. He looked up at the sky and shouted loudly: "I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world do anything to me! That's enough! This life is enough!"
Zhu Di stood still for a long time, like a bronze statue. After a long time, he returned the sword with a clang and put it into its sheath. He turned around and said slowly to Xia Xun: "Before Huang Kao died, he seemed to have already felt something.
One day, he came here when he was ill and rode his horse at a gallop. It was here, where you and I stand, that Huang Kao reined in his horse, drew his sword and asked the sky, and shouted the words just now!"
Xia Xun listened quietly, and Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then said: "At that time, I was still serving as King of Yan in Peiping. After hearing this, I have always wanted to know. Huang Kao said this when he knew that the deadline was approaching.
What was he thinking about, but I still couldn’t figure it out. Just now, I shouted these words, and I had some emotion of my own. Do you know my emotion? "
Xia Xun said softly: "Taizu's emotion does not have the same experience and fate. Others can only guess. Who can guarantee that what he guessed is what Taizu was thinking. I can't guess the emperor's emotion either."
Zhu Di smiled, knocked his horse's belly with his tui, and walked forward slowly. Xia Xun immediately picked up his horse and followed him, half a horse's length behind him.
Zhu Di said: "My family was very poor at that time. One day my grandfather passed away while begging for food. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a coffin. Huang Kao and his two brothers buried my grandfather in a mountain.
They dug a branch at their feet as a mark. When they returned home, they asked relatives and friends to piece it together. Finally, they scraped together some money and wanted to cook for my grandfather. However, it happened to be a heavy rain, and the mountains and mud fell, and the area was completely destroyed.
The whole hillside was buried, and my grandfather's body could never be found again. At that time, I was kneeling at the foot of the mountain, crying very hard...u12539u12539u12539very sadu12539u12539u12539u12539u12539u 12539”
Zhu Di's eyes were crystal clear, and there were tears in his eyes: "Later, my emperor became a novice monk in Huangjue Temple, and later, he became a beggar with no food and clothing. Who would have thought that my emperor would become a monk in Haozhou
More than ten years after the uprising, he actually conquered the entire world and became the master of it? No one could have imagined it, not even Huang Kao himself. I understand Huang Kao’s emotion!"
Zhu Di stopped his horse, looked into the distance, and whispered: "When Jingnan started his army, he just couldn't bear the anger in his heart. He wanted to die, but he wanted to die vigorously! Who could have imagined that after four years of Jingnan, I would become the emperor!"
I am the king of a vassal in Yanjing, how can the world be more different than me! What Huang Kao has been thinking, today, when the country has been won, and the years are getting older, I... finally understand!"
Zhu Di took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "The First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, there are many heroes in ancient and modern times, and their thoughts are all the same as those of the emperor and me! But that ambitious plan
The hegemony has all gone up in smoke. I don’t know if this is fate. I still have to do it and repeat the unfinished business of these ancient wise kings. Now that I have won the world, I will plan for the world! The Ming Dynasty is magnificent and will never grow old with the sky.
! What a great hero, with no borders to his country! This is my grand plan! Haha, but I also know that no matter how hard I try, it’s not up to me.”
Xia Xun raised his hands on his horse and said: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a generation of outstanding rulers. He couldn't even handle the affairs of his descendants. Several of his sons died and were crippled. Finally, he established an eight-year-old young ruler. The affairs of the country were left to the discretion of the minister Huo Guangchu."
, the young master died of illness just after reaching adulthood. Who the emperor would be and what his country would be like were beyond the expectations of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Others were even more unbearable. Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, Sui Emperor, Song Taizu, some suffered great changes after their death, some were treated cruelly during their lifetime, and some had improper management after death. It can be seen that Ren was such a talented and resourceful person.
Thousands of years of future events cannot be taken into consideration. If we can arrange the affairs of one generation and two generations of descendants, we will be a wise king of wise kings and a heroic lord of heroes.
I have established the East Palace early. The prince is benevolent and filial, and the grandson is smart. They are both good choices for the heir apparent. Now, the emperor finally has a plan and uses thunderous means to destroy the hidden dangers of the imperial court in one fell swoop. The emperor has long-term thinking and uses this matter to take advantage of
Fighting hard, dividing and disintegrating, turning the forces into invisible, avoiding a protracted dynasty war, which is even better than the ancient wise kings such as Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Sui and Tang Dynasty!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly and said to Xia Xun: "Xuan, I can't hide my thoughts from you after all. But do you know what makes me happiest?"
What makes me happiest is that everyone subscribes and votes! My dear, please let me be happy! To be continued)
