From the two kings of Yan and Liao to the officials in Beiping, everyone was stunned.
His Royal Highness, the Emperor’s Grandson, actually refused to enter Peiping?
"Isn't this just putting eye drops on my eyes? If I know that you have arrived in Peiping and don't enter, you will definitely find fault with me as your uncle!"
Zhu Di was furious. He could already imagine how the old man would scold Zhu Yunxi if he didn't enter the city.
"Fourth brother, you are so damn talented! Our eldest grandson went to your place and couldn't even get in? You are really worthless!" Thinking of this, Zhu Di suddenly felt a headache. The old man's temper was not right.
He will listen to his judgment. His grandson is good no matter what, and he is right. As a son, no matter what he does, he is wrong!
However, it will be a matter of the future for the old man to get angry. If Zhu Yunxi really does not enter the city today, it will be like slapping him in the face directly in front of the civil and military forces of Peking and the King of Liao.
"Why doesn't Your Highness enter the city?" In desperation, Zhu Di was not so polite and said loudly, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Grand Sun came in person, and the soldiers, civilians, and gentry in the city were eagerly waiting for it. If Your Highness didn't enter the city, wouldn't it be cold?
The hearts of the people? Furthermore, the sergeants in the city have gathered and are waiting for His Highness to review in person, and then follow His Highness to the north!"
With that said, Zhu Di took a step forward and continued to loudly say, "If you don't enter Peiping, does your Highness have any scruples?"
"Bold! Unbridled!"
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, a loud shout came from behind him, "King Yan, are you talking to His Highness? Don't forget who you are?"
"Who doesn't have eyes?"
Zhu Di was furious, cursed secretly, and suddenly turned around, but was stunned for a moment.
A familiar face, a familiar gaze, looked at him with a smile but not a smile, looking up and down with knife-like eyes.
"Lanyu!? Why is this old immortal here? Hasn't he already gone home to farm according to the order?"
In an instant, Zhu Di's mind was spinning a thousand times, and his thoughts were confused.
"Could it be that the old man spared him? No, the old man was extremely merciful by not killing him." Thinking about it, Zhu Di suddenly understood, "Lanyu is the uncle of this yellow-mouthed boy, and when he conquered North Korea, the old man naturally wanted to give him
Yellow-mouthed child, a talisman!"
At this time, Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly, "Lanyu must not be rude. King Yan is an upright person. If he speaks louder, it will be okay!" He said, then smiled and said, "Don't show courtesy to King Yan and King Liao!
"
"Your Majesty Lan Yu, please see the King of Yan and the King of Liao!" Lan Yu casually cupped his hands. Zhu Di was regarded as an enemy by him, and the King of Liao was just a child in his eyes.
"Duke Liang is here too!" Zhu Di smiled, "After so many days apart, Duke Liang has changed so much that I almost didn't recognize him!"
At this time, Lan Yu's sharp edge was restrained and no longer as flamboyant as before.
Hearing this, he just smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to be called Duke of the country." After saying that, he raised his hands to the sky and said, "I am a scapegoat for the crime. I am not abandoned by His Majesty the Grandson. I join the army and serve in the army for His Majesty the Grandson."
Counselor!" He said, paused, his eyes were like daggers again, and said loudly, "Lan is no longer the Duke of the dynasty. The current Lan is just a dog beside His Highness the Grand Sun!"
Lan Yu's name was well known to everyone, and many people in the civil and military circles in the north had met him. Now that he heard what he said, he immediately became even more in awe of Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the emperor.
"Yes, yes!" Zhu Di thought with a smile on his face, "You old dog, a biting old dog!"
On the side, King Zhu Zhi of the Liao Dynasty saw Lan Yu, his eyes shone, he clapped his hands and laughed and said, "The old general is the Dinghai magic needle of the Ming Dynasty. With you as counselor, we can win even more!" Then he said to Zhu Yunxi, "Great grandson
Your Highness, I have recently repeatedly deduced several expeditions and battles between the Kingdom and the Dynasty, and there are many things I don’t understand. I wonder if I can give you some advice from General Lan in your spare time!"
"There's nothing wrong with this! If you are willing, I can let Lan Yu accept you as his apprentice!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Lan Yu had no interaction with the King of Liao before. Seeing that the other party valued her, she also lowered her head and said, "The King of Liao has spoken seriously and dare not talk about advice."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Di and said, "There are no worries if I don't enter Peiping alone. I am the crown prince. Once I enter the city, I will inevitably pave the road with loess and disturb the people. When I enter the city, do the 30,000 troops behind me want to enter the city? If so,
, can the expenses of Beiping Mansion be reduced? If something happens to the soldiers again, who will have a good-looking face? "
"Soldiers are very fast. After I entered the city, I couldn't leave for a while. The military situation in the front was like a fire. I came to fight, not to play! How can I have so much time to waste in Peking!"
Zhu Di also felt that what he just said was a bit harsh, so he apologized and said, "I am guilty and cannot sympathize with His Highness' love for the people."
"If I don't enter the city, I'll stay at Beiping Post outside the city. The soldiers and horses from Datong are coming soon. When Duke Fu brings his troops, you and the King of Liao will gather your troops and follow Gu to fight directly to Liaodong." Zhu Yunxi returned.
With his horse on his back, he looked at all the civil and military officials in Peiping and said, "Let's all disperse. We will each perform our duties when we return!"
As he spoke, he waved his riding whip gently, "King Yan, lead the way to the inn!"
Peiping is a large border town. The post station is very large, covering an area of more than ten acres. It has all kinds of supplies, just like a small town.
Zhu Yunxi and his personal guards moved into the inn, and the officials and other officials who lived there immediately packed their bags and moved out. The inn was busy and noisy again.
In the main room of the inn, Zhu Yunxi changed into cloth, wiped the dust on his face with a handkerchief, enjoyed the coolness on his face, closed his eyes and said, "Everyone else, please step aside, Gu and King Yan have something to say!"
After the words fell, Fu Rang led his guards back outside and guarded the door. Only their uncle and nephew were left in the room.
"You just said that Gu has scruples in his heart?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and threw away the towel in his hand, looking directly into Zhu Di's eyes. "Do you have scruples in Gu's heart, or do you have scruples in your heart?"
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment. He never expected that Zhu Yunxi would come up and say such heart-wrenching words.
"If it were anyone else, Gu wouldn't bother to explain. But you are Gu's uncle after all, and I don't want you to have a grudge." Zhu Yunxi sat down and continued, "Gu has no scruples. The reason why he didn't go to the city is just as Gu said.
.Once you enter the city, you will not be able to escape for three to five days, and the troops and horses of the Liaodong Dusi in Liaoyang and other places are gathering. The soldiers in front are waiting in formation, preparing to make achievements, so I must not fly over now!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Di with a softer look, "Fourth uncle, I have no scruples in my heart, do you?"
"He...what does he mean by this?" Zhu Di was suddenly shocked, "Could it be that he is going to attack me now?"
Now Zhu Yunxi is the crown prince, and to him he is the king. If you really want to attack him, there are ten thousand reasons.
"The heart grows in your own belly, and only you know what you think. There are some things that I don't want to tell you." Zhu Yunxi slowed down, "After all, we are close relatives, and you have made great contributions to the country. I miss you,
They are all thinking for the best.”
"This time we conquered Goryeo, we could have used your troops without your troops, but I still mentioned you in front of the emperor and asked you to follow me in the northern expedition. Fighting against brothers, father and son are fighting. This is a national war, and it is our Zhu family's son
flex your muscles and build opportunities for meritorious deeds.”
With that said, Zhu Yunxi stood up and walked to Zhu Di, "Fourth uncle, if you and I, the monarch, my uncle and my nephew, fight side by side, it will be a story for the ages. I have no scruples about you in my heart. Not only do I have no scruples, I also want to reuse you!"
"Although Mr. Fu Guogong is a famous general, he is old and has lost his spirit in fighting. Therefore, I will appoint you as the vanguard of the front army to command the Liaodong capital's troops and sweep away Goryeo."
Zhu Di was shocked. He never expected that Zhu Yunxi could be so open and honest, and he even didn't expect that the other party would value him so much.
"Fourth uncle!" Zhu Yunxi held Zhu Di's arm and said sternly, "The so-called scruples between men are just words that are not spoken and things are not revealed. You and my uncle and nephew are on separate sides and have never gotten along well.
I know very little about you. But in my heart, I have always respected you."
"This battle will not be decided in three or five days. In the days to come, you and I will get along day and night. Take a good look and see if Gu, the grandson of the emperor, is really what you think!"
"I remember when I was a child, my father told me that among your imperial uncles, your fourth uncle is the most heroic and manly. However, your fourth uncle is also a stubborn donkey. I will not bow down when I see the King of Heaven."
When Zhu Yunxi mentioned Zhu Biao, Zhu Di's eyes became softer.
"I'm not asking you to bow your head, but there are some disputes of spirit, and you really can't do it!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "Even if you have scruples in your heart, the conquest of Goryeo is the time for our Zhu family to unite as one. Fourth uncle, our master
You two, beat up the foreigners first!"
Seeing the sincerity of what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Di had mixed feelings in his heart. He pondered for a long time and said, "My lord, I think so in my heart. The national war is at the forefront, and the righteousness comes first!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, I came from afar and you haven't asked me if I have eaten?"
Zhu Di really couldn't keep up with his train of thought. Just when he was thinking about how to speak, he heard Zhu Yunxi say again, "This is your territory. You ask people to set up a table, and then turn around and bring in the fourth aunt and the several orphans."
Call all the brothers. Let’s call Uncle Fourteen and let’s have a few drinks!”
"I obey your orders!" Zhu Di stood up and retreated outside, saying, "I'm afraid that the food in Beidi is vulgar and won't fit into His Highness's mouth!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful. Why should I compete with him?
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "When the family is together, it doesn't matter what we eat!"
A family?
Zhu Di paused slightly and walked out of the door, thinking in his heart, "This... this child!"
The post station turned into a military camp, and there was an endless stream of cavalry coming and going with news. Zhu Yunxi, the civil servant, was missing, but the generals in Peiping gathered in the lobby of the post station, waiting for the emperor Taisun to summon the generals and inquire about military affairs.
This is the first war to destroy the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China. These generals are gearing up and waiting to show off. It is said that civility is not the first and military is not the second. Sitting in the lobby, these generals have distinct factions and each other.
There were sparks flickering in his eyes.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, and when everyone was getting impatient, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the inn, and it sounded like hundreds of cavalry roaring in.
"The emperor's grandson is here, who is so brave and dares to ride a horse?" All the generals were confused and walked out of the hall.
I saw, in the dusk, the dusty elite cavalry, shooting straight at them like sharp arrows.
The knight at the head of the team flew off his horse the moment the horse rushed into the station.
"What a handsome riding skill!" The generals cheered loudly in their hearts.
After the knight fell off his horse, his burly body took advantage of the momentum of the war horse to run forward, and then knelt directly in the courtyard of the inn.
"Your Highness, I miss you so much!"
~~~
Everyone who is supposed to come has arrived, the Ming generals have gathered together, and the war is about to begin.
