my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 96 Jane in the Emperor's Heart

Yang Shiqi was still too young, and he was shocked when he realized that the person being tutored was Gu Xingzu.

So... Gu Xingzu's grandfather didn't go to settle accounts with these four guys?
Of course, Zhang Anshi still has important things to do.

An eunuch came to order Zhang Anshi to enter the palace as soon as possible.

It's just that the place to go is not the Forbidden City, but the Habayashi Youwei garrison outside Bei'an Gate.

Here, the flags are like a forest, and the camp is like a chessboard.

Zhu Di rode a horse and led a few princes to review the soldiers and horses, and then went to the big tent to drink with the military officials.

After drinking to the fullest, I thought of Zhang Anshi.

In fact, Zhang Anshi doesn't like to fight and kill, he likes the ways of the world.

Therefore, when Zhang Anshi entered the account, he kept a bitter face.

When Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshilai, he smiled and said to the military officials on the left and right: "Wei Guogong's virtuous son-in-law is here."

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that his body had been cut, as if he had become a monkey being visited.

Then Wei Guogong Xu Huizu put down the wine cup, His Majesty said this, so he subconsciously looked at Qi Guogong Qiu Fu with an apologetic expression on his face.

Xu Huizu is a moral person, and it is immoral to steal someone's beauty.

But Qi State Duke Qiu Fu felt Xu Huizu's gaze, and couldn't help but glance back, trying to give Xu Huizu an expression of what do you look at, but in the end he was persuaded, lowered his head and sighed, drinking tactically.

Zhang Anshi sat obediently at the end of the big tent. He was very self-aware. Everyone present here had a hundred times as much merit and seniority as him, and they were all honored ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with them, Zhang Anshi felt like a firefly.

Until Zhang Anshi saw Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly felt that his image was a little taller.

Compared with Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, a worthless waste who personally led an army of 60 and could be rubbed on the ground by tens of thousands of northern troops, Zhang Anshi suddenly had a kind of arrogance that I can do it myself.

After all, with 60 pigs on the battlefield, they wouldn't lose so badly.

Li Jinglong looked sad. His life was actually very difficult. Many people impeached him, and the emperor looked down on him, and other ministers also despised him.

Qi Guogong and Cheng Guogong and others regarded him as a waste.

Wei Guogong hated him for receiving such a heavy responsibility from Emperor Jianwen. As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops were directly defeated by the Northern Army, which caused a big mistake for the Northern Army to enter Nanjing.

When Zhu Di had drunk his wine to the point of strength, he laughed as usual and said, "Back then, Duke Cao led the army to confront me..."

Speaking of this, it came to the stage where Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was publicly executed.

He got up obediently, bowed down, and said with sincerity and fear: "60 southern troops are not enough for your majesty. There is even a difference between your majesty and your majesty. My minister... thinking of this battle so far, I really feel ashamed. It is a crime to stop your majesty's heavenly soldiers." One, vulnerable, the second crime..."

He obediently counted his crimes.

In the days after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was obviously used to it.

After hearing this, the other princes all looked at him coldly, with a look of contempt.

Zhu Di seemed to be very unhappy when he heard it. At this time, he used the strength of wine to scold him: "Jianwen is blind, and he made you a general just now. If it was not my peace at the beginning, but a rebellion by a different surname, this Daming Jiangshan Sheji It will be buried in your hands. What a hero Qiyang King is, he gave birth to such a useless person like you."

King Qiyang is a posthumous title given by Li Jinglong's father, Li Wenzhong!

This Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, so Li Jinglong and Zhu Di are also related.

Li Jinglong was completely hopeless at this moment. He seemed to be accustomed to being picked up and insulted from time to time, and he had already had a set of ways to deal with it, so he kowtowed and said: "Million death, ten thousand death."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help holding his breath, and said bitterly: "If all the sons of honored ministers in the country are like this, then it's okay? Look at Zhang Anshi!"

Li Jinglong just continued to kowtow like garlic.

Zhu Di said angrily, "Get out of the tent."

Li Jinglong hurriedly said, "Yes."

He got used to it, so he just walked away.

Zhu Di has a bad temper, especially when facing a coward like Li Jinglong.

To be honest, this is a kind of contempt from the bottom of my heart.

Of course... There are other reasons, maybe Zhu Di didn't realize it either.

Zhang Anshi realized it a little bit.

So everyone started to drink, and they couldn't help bragging about each other. In terms of riding and shooting, Zhang Anshi had no room to brag, so he drank in silence.

If you drink too much of this wine, you will inevitably urgency, which has nothing to do with your kidneys.

Zhang Anshi staggered to his feet, got out of the big tent, found an empty corner, and began to relieve himself.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Hearing the weird voice, Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he couldn't help shaking while holding the little brother's hand.

Thought I hit a ghost.

He hastily lifted up his breeches, put on his belt, and looked towards the voice.

But Li Jinglong was crying in the corner.

He cried very softly, fearing that after Zhu Di found out, he would catch him back and humiliate him severely.

But the one who cried was very emotional, covered his face, tears flowed from the gap between his ten fingers, desperately suppressed his voice, curled up, and his body twitched.

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
In the Yongle Dynasty, you can't be cowardly, you would rather be a villain, and be the three murderers, which is much better than Li Jinglong.

So Zhang Anshi stepped forward and patted Li Jinglong on the back.

Caught off guard, Li Jinglong, who was concentrating on crying, was taken aback. He stopped his tears and looked up to see Zhang Anshi, feeling uneasy.

His eyes were swollen from crying, although he held back the tears, his body was still trembling.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "I was shocked, almost made me unable to urinate."

Li Jinglong: "..."

Li Jinglong also wanted to say that you scared me.

However, in view of his current situation, he, the dignified Duke, actually admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, I shouldn't be here."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty scolded you for your own good."

Li Jinglong's mouth squirmed, but he didn't speak.

Zhang Anshi said: "You shouldn't have played it right just now."

"Huh?" Li Jinglong looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said: "If you play it right, it will only make His Majesty even more angry. Sooner or later, His Majesty will lose your title and imprison you when he can't hold back his anger. Then everything will be over. "

What Zhang Anshi said was not a lie.

Historically, the more Zhu Di looked at this guy, the more he disliked him. Many people guessed Zhu Di's thoughts, so they impeached him one-sidedly. The final result was that Li Jinglong was confiscated and imprisoned!
Of course, during the confinement process, Li Jinglong planned to be tough. He planned to go on a hunger strike, but after ten days on the hunger strike, he thought about it again, ate and drank, and lived another 20 years.

At this moment, when Li Jinglong heard this, it was obvious that Zhang Anshi had mentioned the deepest worry in his heart, so his hairs stood on end and he shuddered.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "You call me brother, and I will teach you a method, which is useful for safekeeping."

Li Jinglong said without any hesitation: "Brother."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

This guy doesn't speak martial arts!

Originally, Zhang Anshi was just joking, but this guy is really... shameless.

Zhang Anshi sighed, and said: "For King Qishan's sake, I will teach you how to deal with it later..."

Zhang Anshi whispered a few words next to Li Jinglong's ear, Li Jinglong shuddered when he heard it, and said with fear in his eyes: "Will this... will this...will cut off my head?"

Zhang Anshi looked at him with a face full of hatred and said: "Believe it or not, don't blame me for not teaching you when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, he staggered and went back to the big tent.

At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent was very good, and everyone was still talking and drinking.

Cheng Guogong bragged about how he broke into the enemy's line on the Jingnan battlefield.

Qi Guogong said how he arranged his troops.

Zhu Di laughed loudly, saying that he shot and killed several Confederate scouts on the spot.

Wei Guogong Xu Huizu only thought they were annoying, so he drank the wine silently with a disgusted expression on his face.

Zhu Di said: "In ancient times, the most important thing for a commander is to be able to gain insight into the situation of thieves. The so-called favorable time, place and people are in fact, in the final analysis, just the word insight. Zhang Anshi..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, yes."

Zhu Di said: "You are already a great Confucian, what are you doing in Guozixue recently?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Teach people to read."

"I heard that you put your heart into it." Zhu Di said approvingly, "That's very good. It didn't take me in vain to cultivate you, but... of course, writing and writing is also considered a skill, but when a man is alive, how can there be such joy as strategizing and winning thousands of miles?"

"In the future, you have to learn more from these uncles. We mount horses to kill thieves and get off horses to arrange soldiers. There are talents from generation to generation. We people will grow old sooner or later, but this Great Ming Dynasty still depends on people to guard it. .”

Zhang Anshi is also a bit drunk at this time, they will brag, I, Zhang Anshi, have 20 years of keyboard skills in my previous life, I am afraid of anyone.

So Zhang Anshi said: "Speaking of commanding an army, I really don't have much experience, but when it comes to insight, I'm not my younger brother... no, I'm not bragging, my eyes are very accurate! The three fierce men in the capital, no, It's Zhu Yong and Qiu Song, His Majesty knows about it, they are all generals, and they are taught by urinating, so it can be said that they can be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among the people."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "But why do they respect me so much, and call me big brother? Is it just because I took them to blow up the latrine..."

Zhu Di's eyeballs widened suddenly: "You really taught that fried latrine pit! Fuck your mother!"

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "No, that's not right, I... I'm a little drunk, well, even if I retreat ten thousand steps, if it's really what I did, what I want to express is that what they admire more is that I have insight into the military situation. Your Majesty's strength, believe it or not... I dare to say a word here today, within a month..."

Zhang Anshi drank alcohol, some people drank like a muddy brain, while others drank alcohol, but suddenly their minds were extraordinarily clear, Zhang Anshi remembered something, and said: "Chengshanwei will be attacked by Japanese pirates at sea."

After hearing this, Zhu Di just sneered.

Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, said: "Your Majesty, you can hear clearly, he admitted it himself... from now on, my son..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Uncle Shi, we must have a structure, we are talking about military affairs now."

Qiu Fu said: "What I said is that you spoiled my son."

Zhu Di had a big headache: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise!" Then he said: "Cheng Shanwei?"

He looked at Cheng Guogong: "Chengshanwei...isn't it in Shandong? There have been Japanese infestation there recently?"

Zhu Neng said: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has not received such a report."

Zhu Di then looked at Zhang Anshi: "Don't talk nonsense about military affairs, how do you judge?"

Zhang Anshi said in his heart, I can tell you that I saw an interesting historical incident in my last life. At that time, a group of Japanese pirates attacked the North Korean country and captured many Korean people. In the end, the Japanese pirates hijacked these Korean craftsmen all the way to Chengshanwei , wanted to launch an attack, but the Koreans on the boat jumped into the sea when they saw the opportunity, swam all the way to the shore, and were finally sent back to the Korean country by Zhu Di. After that, the peninsula people, based on the deeds of these people, wrote a lot.

It has to be said that the peninsula people are better at bragging than ordinary people, and they can always brag about trivial matters.

However, Chengshanwei also suffered heavy losses in this attack, Zhang Anshi felt that an early warning should be given.

At this time, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, took a look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Military affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. You can brag about your past deeds, and I will not add guilt."

Probably drinking to boost his courage, Zhang Anshi did not flinch at this time, and said: "I am not bragging, what I mean is...Your Majesty can send a general to strengthen the defense."

Zhu Di lowered his head to drink: "You boy, you don't know who you are after drinking."

He pondered for a moment, looked at Qiu Fu and said, "I ordered Zhang Fu to patrol the border, where is he now?"

"I just left the day before yesterday, I'm afraid I passed Zhenjiang now."

Zhu Di pondered and said: "Let Zhang Fu stop for a while when he arrives in Shandong, and stay at Chengshan Guard for a few days."

Qiu Fu glanced at Zhang Anshi, then looked at Zhu Di again, and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty really believes his nonsense?"

Zhu Di said: "Your son also believes it!"

Qiu Fu: "..."

Zhu Di said again: "Actually, I don't believe it either. It sounds too mysterious, but I'd rather believe in it than in nothing. Although the Japanese pirates are a small problem, if they really attacked Chengshanwei, it would teach me that Daming suffered losses. My Where do you put your face?"

Qiu Fu couldn't utter a half-sentence rebuttal, so he responded: "I will order someone to rush to send a letter to Zhang Fu later."

Zhu Di said at this time: "Where is Cao Guogong, where is Cao Guogong hiding?"

Zhang Anshi murmured in his heart that it was time to abuse Cao Guogong again.

The eunuch at the side said: "It's just outside the tent."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "I taught him to get out, but he obeyed his will. He wished to hide. Whenever I thought that King Qishan had such a son, I felt sorry for King Qishan and ordered him to come to the account."

So not long after, the poor Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was called again.

Li Jinglong bowed down and said: "I..."

Zhu Di scolded: "60 army, 60 army, 60 army is wiped out, you can be handsome..."

Li Jinglong was scared to death. He prostrated on the ground, his eyes were still red and swollen, and he couldn't help but want to cry.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jinglong carefully glanced at Zhang Anshi who was sitting in the corner.

Then he mustered up his courage and said, "Actually, I didn't make any mistakes in that battle."

This statement came out.

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Zhu Di pursed his lips, his eyes serious.

He stared at Li Jinglong: "What did you say?"

Under Zhu Di's ice-like gaze, Li Jinglong's heart was already terrified, but when he thought of Zhang Anshi's words, he still tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and said tremblingly: "I didn't make a mistake."

Zhu Di was furious, and his voice became more and more cold: "Really?"

Li Jinglong clenched his palms that were already sweating, and said: "In the battle of Baigou River, Your Majesty led the army to advance along the Sujia Bridge and follow the river. There are [-] troops and horses. The attack on the Sujiaqiao area disrupted His Majesty's deployment, Your Majesty, did the Northern Army suffer heavy losses at that time, and the Northern Army's horses were almost cut in two?"

Zhu Di was taken aback. In the past, Li Jinglong would never have dared to say such a thing.

But Li Jinglong said again: "On the next day, Your Majesty led the army to cross the river to fight. At this time, the minister ordered 60 troops and horses to deploy, so he ordered the Ping'an Division to attack the Northern Army Chen Heng's Division, and the Northern Army was defeated again!"

Zhu Di was silent, and he began to listen carefully to Li Jinglong's analysis of the gains and losses of that thrilling battle.

Li Jinglong continued: "The arrangement at that time was to take advantage of the northern army crossing the river, order the Ministry of Security to harass, and also order the Qu Neng Department to attack His Majesty's front army, and I personally led the central army to go around to His Majesty's rear to attack."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, such a three-sided attack, but His Majesty's army and horses were cut in two by the river, could it be that the minister dispatched in the middle and used two generals, Ping'an and Qu Neng, and these two men have achieved very fruitful results. Is there any mistake in it? Do you dare to ask Your Majesty, if you personally lead these 60 troops, what better strategy can you adopt?"

Zhu Di subconsciously bowed his head in thought.

Li Jinglong's tactics were not brilliant, but to a certain extent, from the perspective of commanding troops, there were actually no major mistakes.

After all, this is an army of 60, and the Southern Army has a great advantage. With such a huge advantage, it is impossible to play the trick of taking risks.

See Zhu Di speechless.

Li Jinglong continued: "It can be said that in the Battle of Baigouhe, the army and horses led by the minister, at least most of the time, had a huge advantage, and the Northern Army suffered heavy losses. Your Majesty...it must have lost a lot of generals at that time. "

Speaking of this, the tension in Li Jinglong's heart also relaxed a little, and he sighed: "But...among the gains and losses of this battle, I did not expect two situations. Leading thousands of elite soldiers, they suddenly broke away from their own central army and took an assault on Qu Neng's troops. This was actually something that the entire southern army did not expect, nor did Ping An, nor did Qu Neng."

Everyone in the tent listened carefully to Li Jinglong's analysis unconsciously. Now that they think about it carefully, they seem to think it makes sense.

Zhu Di nodded, straightened his waist, and suddenly took a fierce offensive, which was indeed Zhu Di's stroke of genius.

But all the commanders are sitting in the army and are guarded by countless soldiers and horses. Who would have thought that the majestic commander of the Northern Army would directly lead the battle and invest his most elite soldiers to directly attack Qu Neng's troops who had made countless contributions to the Southern Army at that time. of.

The risk here is extremely high, if there is even the slightest mistake, Zhu Di will die in the chaos.

It can be said that Zhu Di got on the horse himself and caught the entire Southern Army by surprise.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di said with a blushing face: "At that time, I changed my horse three times and swung my sword to fight. It can be said that I was at the end of my life. I was lucky to survive this raid."

Li Jinglong had been secretly observing Zhu Di's changes, and found that instead of getting angry, Zhu Di was very proud.

So Li Jinglong hit the rails while it was hot: "The second reason for the defeat of the Southern Army was that a sudden strange wind broke out the commander's flag, so the whole army looked at each other and moved, thinking that the Chinese army would not be able to protect themselves." , In addition, His Majesty defeated Qu Neng's troops, and the three armies were terrified. Originally, a great victory was turned upside down in a blink of an eye.

Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, the battle was well fought. Who would have thought that the handsome flag would be blown... Your Majesty always said that the ministers are incompetent. May I ask Your Majesty that the ministers deployed troops and did not commit any crimes against military strategists?" Ji, the generals selected are also brave and brave. But in the end, they were defeated. Of course, the defeated generals dare not speak out, but I have tried my best."

Li Jinglong didn't dare to say these words before, after all, these words were taboo.

But now, Li Jinglong is going all out.

Zhang Anshi said abruptly from the side: "It's strange, this handsome flag was blown off perfectly, could it be that this is the number of days?"

Zhu Di was silent.

And Li Jinglong had finished speaking, and he couldn't help but start to feel anxious again, waiting for Zhu Di's reaction with trepidation.

Zhu Di seemed to be recalling that particularly brilliant battle, and then he laughed loudly: "Haha...that's right, you, the coach, really can't adapt to the situation, but if I have 60 troops, such a big advantage , and will definitely arrange troops according to this, as for the total variables in this battle, it is indeed unpredictable."

Seeing Zhu Di suddenly became happy.

Li Jinglong, who had already been drenched in cold sweat, finally let out a long breath.

Qiu Fu and the others thought about it carefully, and couldn't help admiring: "If His Majesty hadn't personally charged into the Southern Army's formation with a single army, we would have died without a doubt."

Zhu Neng also said: "Thinking about it today, the strange wind was really fucking weird, it was so good, how could the wind blow from the flat ground, no wonder the great monk Yao Guangxiao said that His Majesty has ninety-five looks, His Majesty has his own. God help."

The more Zhu Di listened, the happier he was, stroked his long beard, and laughed again: "At that time, my blood was surging, so I led people directly, and killed three generals, killing countless soldiers of the Southern Army. I didn't think too much about it, I just knew that the matter was urgent, so I just killed it."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty crowned the three armies bravely, and I looked up at the mountains. It's a pity...I couldn't see His Majesty's heroic demeanor in that battle."

Zhu Di was overjoyed: "Drinking, drinking, there is nothing to brag about. I have experienced many battles. I have experienced many such things."

All of a sudden, everyone was in high spirits and drank happily.

Zhu Di glanced at Li Jinglong: "You don't need to kneel down, I'm here to teach you how to drink today. You sit back and you won't get drunk today."

When Li Jinglong heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect His Majesty to treat him well today.

He hurriedly got up and hurriedly knelt down next to Zhang Anshi, feeling inexplicable in his heart, like the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

In the past when Zhu Di scolded him, he only said that he was damned, incompetent, and acted very useless.

But he didn't know that when Zhu Di saw his useless appearance, he became even more angry.

But today’s performance was different. He boldly restored the whole picture of the war. On the surface, as the commander of the southern army, he was an enemy of the current emperor, which showed that he was not so useless. In a certain sense, he actually exalted Zhu Di. .

You can't say that His Majesty was fighting 60 pigs at the beginning, right? Does that mean that Zhu Di's throne was sent as a phone bill?

Li Jinglong could only brag about the strength of the Southern Army, how brave the generals he appointed, and how airtight his arrangements were. In fact, for the victor Zhu Di, it was a matter of elation.

Previously, Li Jinglong obviously didn't understand this truth, so he was abused every day.

What I'm doing now is bragging, anyway, it's enough to brag a little bit, the more you brag about yourself, the more you will show Zhu Di's illustrious martial arts.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Li Jinglong's eyes actually began to cry again.

It's not easy, damn it... My father-in-law was so stupid in the past, why did he just pretend to be cowardly?

So, he took a piece of meat to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi ate.

Li Jinglong is old.The bustard looks at whoring.Looking into the guest's eyes, he said kindly: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Oh, come on, let's have a drink."

"Okay..." Li Jinglong lowered his voice: "Brother, I'll do it first."

Zhang Anshi felt that this person could be dealt with because he didn't care about face.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Li Jinglong whispered again: "Brother, there are many beautiful concubines in my family."

"What do you mean?"

Li Jinglong looked at Zhang Anshi: "If brother likes it, I will send it to brother Jian for fitness."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Li Jinglong took advantage of the exhilaration of Zhu Di and the others pushing and changing cups, and said again: "Thin ones, fat ones, tall ones, short ones, old ones, and small ones, I have them all."

Zhang Anshi sat upright and said, "I'm not good at this."

Li Jinglong felt a little regretful, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you like, Grasshopper? BMW? Men?"

Zhang Anshi supported his forehead, pretending that he was drunk, with his head drooping, as if he was overwhelmed with alcohol.

Li Jinglong felt a little regretful, but he could only continue drinking.

When the drink was at its peak, Zhu Di said to Li Jinglong: "The soldiers of the Southern Army...many died in battle, but they also listened to Jianwen's bewitching back then, and it was not their fault. You were the commander of the Southern Army back then." , I will sacrifice to them in this generation, so as not to disturb their loyal souls."

After hearing this, Li Jinglong hurriedly said: "I obey the order."

Zhang Anshi himself didn't know how he got home.

I only know that people like Zhu Di drink too hard, a group of rough old men hide in the big tent in the army, drinking and bragging, Zhang Anshi really can't understand what it means.

That night, he was hungover, and in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Anshi was still in his sleep, but Xu Qin came.

Called by Zhang San, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to endure the discomfort, dressed, and went to the main hall to meet Xu Qin.
