Zhu Yunxi led more than 30,000 elite troops from the Beijing camp and was not slow to march. However, he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Every time he passed by, local officials from all over the country came to worship and listen to the holy teachings. The pace of the army became slow, not to mention that he himself
It's not too annoying either.
He simply left Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi behind with his army, and he himself led a thousand personal guards to rush towards Peiping. At the checkpoints along the way, he did not identify himself, but asked Fu Rang to come forward and say that he was the first to march against Goryeo. Waiting for the advance.
After reaching the boundary of Peiping, he showed his identity. He slowed down slightly to give local officials time to prepare.
Ahead is Peiping, the ancient Great Wall between the lofty mountains. It is looming in the sight. Coupled with the endless wilderness, the majestic atmosphere of the North is full of sight.
This kind of atmosphere is different from that of Yingtian Mansion. Although the capital is good and it is also a great city in the world, but living in the gentle countryside in the south of the Yangtze River, I always feel that there is a lack of iron and blood. In the land of Peiping, facing the barbarians in the north, the Han Dynasty has been there for hundreds of years.
Hu repeatedly fought and fought, and constantly merged with each other.
This place is the northern barrier of the Central Plains, where all the men from Yan and Zhao can be summoned to offer sacrifices. It can be called the gate of the country.
In fact, Peiping is more suitable to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty than Yingtianfu. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were worries about the three norths. Northeast, true north, and northwest. If there was a war, this place would bear the brunt.
Later, it was said that the emperor guarded the country for this reason.
"Your Highness!" A fast horse from the front reported, "The King of Yan and the King of Liao and the civil and military officials of Peiping have come out of the city to greet you. They are already ten miles away!"
"I know!" Zhu Yunxi said calmly.
"Your Highness!" At this time, Lan Yu, who was beside Zhu Yunxi, suddenly said solemnly, "Beiping is the home of the Yan clan. King Yan..."
"Don't worry!" Zhu Yunxi didn't need to listen to know that Lan Yu was trying to say something trivial to Zhu Di, so he smiled and said, "This time it is related to the national war, so my fourth uncle will have a sense of proportion. The family has a big business, and his family will always have some small thoughts.
But we can still trust our own family to outsiders!"
Ever since he decided to go north, Zhu Yunxi had never had any suspicion about the King of Yan, Zhu Di. The conquest of Goryeo was the national interest of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di was such a proud man, he disdained and was unwilling to make any mistakes in such a matter.
Besides, in fact, in Zhu Yunxi's heart, he was also looking forward to fighting side by side with this fourth uncle who was famous throughout the ages.
Zhu Yunxi wanted to tell Zhu Di with practical actions that I am not the kind of childish kid you think. I can do whatever you can do. I can even do better than you.
The distance of ten miles is just a snap. Not far away, smoke is billowing, and thousands of cavalry are coming, covering the sky and the sun, with bright flags and shining armor. First there are two big flags, each with the character "Yan" and the other character "Liao".
"The emperor's grandson is here, the civil and military officials dismount their horses and bow in obeisance!" Fu Rang and Zhu Yunxi's personal guards waved flags and shouted on the opponent's marching route.
In an instant, the sound of horse hooves that shook the world stopped abruptly, and the athletes dismounted one after another and knelt on both sides of the official road.
Later, in the military formation, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhi were in front, leading civil and military officials from Peiping, and slowly stepped forward to kneel down and worship.
"My minister Zhu Di (Zhu Zhi) bows to His Highness Taisun. His Highness is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!"
While everyone was kowtowing, Zhu Yunxi, who was dressed in an ordinary war jacket, dismounted with a smile and said, "Fourth uncle, fourteenth uncle, please come and be fine!"
With that said, surrounded by the guards, he walked in front of the officials in Peiping, helped Zhu Di and Zhu Zhi up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "They are all members of our own family, why should we be so generous!"
Then, his eyes looked at their faces for a moment. Zhu Di's face showed no emotion. Zhu Zhi's eyes were bright, and his closeness was clear.
"Fourth uncle looks much lighter than last time, and his face is a little haggard. Is there something on his mind?" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "You are just too preoccupied and think too much!"
Zhu Di's eyes twitched secretly on Gujing Bubo's face, "This yellow-tongued kid always slaps me every time we meet!" He cursed secretly in his heart, and with a respectful expression on his face, he raised his hands and said, "Go back to your great-grandson.
Your Highness, Beiping is an important town in Liaodong, and I am in charge of the capital of Liaodong. I work very hard and dare not slack off at all." As he said that, he suddenly smiled and said, "If I had nothing to do every day, I wouldn't think so much, but I can't think about military and national affairs!"
A nail that was neither soft nor hard was stabbed secretly. Zhu Yunxi pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Fourth uncle just can't let it go. Military and state affairs are freely decided by the court. If you think too much, it will only increase your worries!"
"Fuck you!"
Zhu Di cursed loudly in his heart. What this kid said was really damaging. He was carrying a gun and a stick, but he also had a hint of warning.
He was originally a person with a deep mind and a calm expression, but for some reason, every time he saw Zhu Yunxi, he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.
The same is true for Zhu Yunxi. Although he doesn't want to be suspicious of Zhu Di in his heart, he always speaks unforgivingly.
"Uncle Fourteenth, are you here too?" Zhu Yunxi said to Zhu Zhi again.
"Back to Your Highness, I am planning the days for the army to march, thinking that you should arrive in Peiping in these few days. So I directly asked my subordinates to go to Liaoyang to assemble first, and I will come to Peking to pick you up!" Zhu Zhi said with a smile.
"Is it okay to be in Guangningwei? Guangningwei is located in Liaodong, a bitter cold land, far inferior to the inland of the Central Plains." Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Before Gu Lin left the capital, Concubine Han specially asked someone to see Gu, so that
Gu took a good look at your body to see if you had gained weight or lost weight. She also asked someone to bring you some palace furs. She said that you have been afraid of the cold since you were a child! She was also afraid that you would not be able to eat well, so she asked Gu to bring you some.
She made the cured meats and other things by herself!”
As a prince, he grew up in the south and ruled Liaodong. Not to mention this era, even if the southerners of later generations suddenly live in the north, they will not adapt. The royal city in Guangningwei is worse than the ordinary county government in the Central Plains. It is purely a military fortress.
.There were not many common people, let alone merchants. King Zhu Zhi of Liao looked at the heroic young man, but he didn't know how much he had suffered secretly.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi mention his biological mother, and then thinking of his mother's face, Zhu Zhi's smile suddenly turned into sadness. He held back his tears and choked up, "It's true that my mother and concubine don't have any furs in Liaodong, but they are still worthy of you!" As he said,
, unable to bear it any longer, she finally burst into tears and revealed her true feelings, "Actually, I often think of my mother and concubine. I have some worthless things. I will ask Your Highness to help me take them back to my mother and concubine later!"
Zhu Yunxi patted the other party's arm and said with a smile, "I won't take it with you, I have to take it with you yourself!" He said loudly, "When we finish the war in Korea, I will take you back to Beijing together. Don't worry about the court's laws.
It is my decision to let you stay with your mother and concubine in the capital for a longer period of time!"
"Really?" The mood of the young King of Liao suddenly turned from tears to laughter. Although they, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, had a respected status and had heavy troops, they were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms easily without any purpose, and they were stared at by the courtiers.
"I can still lie to you!" Although Zhu Yunxi is a junior, at this moment he is acting like an elder coaxing a child.
Unexpectedly, the King of Liao was only happy for a moment, and solemnly shook his head and said, "No! I cannot leave the Guangning Guard without permission. I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the Nine Frontier Fortresses. I have the unshirkable responsibility of guarding the borders. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both balanced. How can I abolish the official position for personal gain?"
!”
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi again and said firmly, "As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, this is my responsibility."
Zhu Yunxi was speechless and could only pat the other party's shoulder again to encourage him.
Among the old men, Zhu Yunxi was the only one he liked, except for Zhu Di, who was his fourteenth uncle. He liked Zhu Di because of his military exploits, and Zhu Zhi because of his conduct.
It is very rare for the young King of Sai to be neither arrogant nor arrogant, dedicated to the country and have no other bad habits. On the contrary, the private character behavior of the two uncles of Zhu Yunxi, King Qin and King Jin is really open to question.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of Zhu Yunwen who was far away in Huai'an. It was not unfair to call him a fool. In history, he found troubles for all the vassal kings who were loyal to him and loyal to the court. In turn, he dealt with the vassals who were loyal to him.
Zhu Di, who rebelled against the flag, said instead, "Don't let me get the reputation of hurting my uncle."
It's really ridiculous.
Zhu Di, who was standing next to him, also glanced at King Liao approvingly, gave a thumbs up and said, "My fourteenth brother is a man!"
After meeting the two vassal kings, the local officials from Peiping came forward and kowtowed.
"I am the Chief Secretary of Beiping, Guo Zi."
"Beiping Inspector Lu Zhen."
"Commander Zhang Xin."
Upon seeing these three people, Zhu Yunxi's smiling face suddenly became subtle.
Without him, these three people are all famous Yongle favored ministers in history. All three of them have the merit of serving the dragon. Guo Zi has experienced four dynasties and is a high-ranking official who is rare in history. Lu Zhen is also a favorite of Zhu Di.
Insidious and cunning.
Zhang Xin is even more famous. He was originally the commander of the Guangning Guards, and was later promoted to the commander of the capital of Peiping. Originally, Zhu Yunwen trusted him quite a lot in time and space and asked him to secretly monitor Zhu Di. Unexpectedly, he turned around and
Zhu Yunwen was sold.
"We can't keep these three people!"
Looking at the three people kneeling, Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "During the war to conquer Goryeo, I will find something to make you take the blame, then withdraw and replace me with my own people!"
"Your Highness, Taisun, come into the city!" King Zhu Zhi of Liao said from the side, "You are also tired from the journey. Go into the city and have a good rest."
Zhu Yunxi slowly shook his head, "No, I can't enter Beiping City alone!"
