From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

In Yuan Xi's orchard, Yang Xingmi poured a cup of tea for Yuan Xi, and the fragrance of tea slowly floated in the air.

He briefly told Yuan Xi what happened during this period, hoping to get some insights from him.

"After Tian Wei ran away from Xuanzhou to cause trouble, he turned around and headed south, entering Jiangxi and going to Hongzhou to join Zhong Chuan. He originally wanted to take advantage of Zhong Chuan's serious illness to launch a mutiny to seize Hongzhou, but he was discovered by Zhong Chuan and almost died. Hongzhou. Now he has escaped from Hongzhou and arrived in Jiangzhou. It seems that he plans to cross the river and go north, but there has been no movement yet. "

Yuan Xi took out the map from the bookshelf, spread it out on the table, and found the location of Jiangzhou.

"Your Majesty, please see, Jiangzhou is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north, and Huangzhou is on the north bank. Tian Kai is now cornered and embarrassed. If he goes back, there will be troops chasing him. Then he can only cross the river and go north."

"here--"

He pointed to a city on the map.

"Huangzhou, his next step will definitely be Huangzhou."

Since Yuan Xi had been recuperating at home for two months, he was not clear about the current personnel arrangements, so he asked Yang Xingmi:

"May I ask, Your Majesty, who is currently garrisoning Huangzhou?"

"Oh, it's my brother-in-law Zhu Yanshou." Yang Xingmi was a little surprised why Yuan Xi asked about the general guard of Huangzhou.

"Zhu Yanshou! Oops, it's broken——"

Yuan Xi's reaction shocked Yang Xingmi: "Sir, what does this mean?"

Yuan Xi was a little excited: "Don't you know, Your Majesty, your brother-in-law has always had a close personal relationship with Tian Kai. As early as when Tian Kai was guarding Xuanzhou, he often entertained Zhu Yanshou. They often gathered together. This relationship is extraordinary. Na."

"Now that Tian Bo is down and out, he will definitely go to Huangzhou to seek refuge with Zhu Yanshou. Once he gossips in Zhu Yanshou's ears, he uses his eloquent words and sweet words to trick Zhu Yanshou into colluding with him..."

"I'm afraid that the king's brother-in-law will be dragged into the water by him."

"No way. Although Zhu Yanshou has a little problem, I trust him very much. I even made him the deputy commander and military supervisor of Heiyundu. I also protect his sister in every possible way. He has no reason to betray me."

Yang Xingmi didn't believe that Zhu Yanshou would be dragged into the trap by Tian Kai.

Yuan Xi laughed at himself: "Your Majesty, confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, then..."

At this point, he stopped talking and laughed a few times, which seemed to have a deeper meaning.

The meaning is actually very simple. Since you don't believe it, I won't say more. If I persist in persuading you, it will become a malicious attempt to sow feelings between your family.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This principle is very simple, but it is too difficult to do it with ease.

In fact, Yang Xingmi had already guessed what Yuan Xi meant, but it was difficult for him to treat it calmly when it involved his brother-in-law.

This person will change, and the simple and simple young man back then is also quietly changing as his power and status continue to rise. He also began to learn the art of an emperor to control his ministers. What he could say and what he could not say, who could be impeached and who could not be touched, these were all things he cared about very much.

After returning to the palace, he felt very upset when he thought about what Yuan Xi had mentioned about Zhu Yanshou just now.

To be honest, he was not [-]% sure that Zhu Yanshou would be absolutely loyal to him. When Yuan Xi mentioned Zhu Yanshou, he was unhappy because he did not want others to interfere in his family's affairs at will.

Even if Zhu Yanshou does have a problem, I have to raise it and solve it myself. It is not the turn of outsiders like you to point fingers. How is this inappropriate?

Speaking of Zhu Yanshou, by the way, there has indeed been no news from him for a long time, and no report has been sent from Huangzhou. What is going on?

Could it be that Zhu Yanshou fell asleep?

Full of suspicion, Yang Xingmi looked at Huangzhou on the map and fell into deep thought.

At this time, his wife Mrs. Zhu (sister Zhu Yanshou) came in with a tea tray and saw Yang Xingmi standing there without changing his clothes or shoes and saying nothing. Then he stepped forward and said softly: "I am going to change my clothes for the king."

Yang Xingmi's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at Mrs. Zhu and asked, "Oh, it's you. Well, has Yanshou sent you a letter recently?"

Mrs. Zhu replied: "A letter was sent a few days ago, but there has been no news these days."

"Did he say anything?"

"He is still the same as before. He complained in the letter that he was put in Huangzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one loves him. He clamored to be transferred back to Yangzhou."

Yang Xingmi criticized: "Young people always want to hide in the gentle countryside and live their lives. How can this be done? Yanshou is still young, and it is the time when he needs to strengthen his training. Only when he has really practiced it can I dare to let him take on heavy responsibilities with confidence and boldness." . At that time, I will give him whatever he wants, including governor, comfort envoy, observation envoy, and inspection envoy."

"But now, he must hone himself steadily, perform well at the border, and let all officials in the court see his ability, proving that he did not get to the position because of you."

Mrs. Zhu had the courage to plead for her brother: "Your Majesty, last time you said that whoever can defeat Du Hong should be the commander of Heiyun City. Yanshou was very happy after hearing this. Later he defeated Du Hong and got the first prize. But in the end, the king gave the commander of Black Cloud City to Xu Wen, and Yanshou couldn’t figure it out.”

When Yang Xingmi recalled it, it seemed that he had indeed said this at that time, which was embarrassing.

Yang Xingmi's face was a little uncomfortable and a little angry, and he cursed in his heart:

"You're such a woman, you really don't know what to do. I just said it casually in a hurry, and then I forgot about it. I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to remember it. I'm really speechless. .”

But this cannot be said clearly, so Yang Xingmi had no choice but to explain:

"Extension of life requires advancement, which is a good thing, but he is too young, and Heiyundu is the most elite special operations force in Huainan. It is very, very important. The commanders of Heiyundu have decades of experience in commanding wars. How can he command Heiyundu to win the battle without rich practical experience and life experience?"

"Not to mention anything else, if the black clouds are handed over to him, can he intimidate Tao Ya, Gao Xu, Liu Wei and other senior officials? If he can't control them, how can he lead this team in the future?"

The stubborn Madam Zhu was still pestering Jun Wuxi. She said aggrievedly: "Yanshou told me that if the king goes back on his word and breaks his promise, how will he be able to command the three armies in the future? How can he..."

"That's enough, you are too presumptuous——"

Yang Xingmi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he yelled at Mrs. Zhu angrily: "What do you, a woman, know? Do you think you are helping to extend your life? Wrong, it is absolutely wrong. You are harming him. Do you understand? Yeah. If young people take charge of the army early, they will only bring disaster to themselves."

After saying that, he turned around and went out without even looking at it.

Mrs. Zhu asked for an official position for her younger brother. This is a typical bad move. If you are not so eager to jump out and force the palace, maybe as time goes by, Yang Xingmi sees the shining point in Zhu Yanshou, and maybe gives him the command of Black Cloud City. .

Now you are eager to jump out and ask for an official position for your brother. When you open your mouth, you are still the most popular commander of Heiyun City and a first-class officer. What do you think Yang Xingmi will think? What do the officials in the DPRK think?

This is a typical "deceit".

Of course, Mrs. Zhu soon paid the price for this. She could also angrily yell at Zhu Yanshou: "You are a typical cheating sister."

It would be a bit embarrassing not to cheat a whole family on a blind date.
