Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

When Zhu Chun came to Changyang Palace, after reporting, the maid actually replied that Concubine Hui had already rested and did not want to see guests.Zhu Chun smiled wryly, before it was time for dinner, the concubine mother "had a rest", it seemed that she was really angry.

That being the case, he didn't talk nonsense with the court lady, went straight to the backyard, easily jumped onto the roof, and turned into Changyang Palace, anyway, he didn't do this less when he was a child.

As soon as he entered Concubine Hui's room, Concubine Hui was already sitting at the table waiting for him.

"It seems that this gate can stop a gentleman, but not a villain."

"..." Look, how angry you are to call your own son a villain.

However, it was Zhu Chun's fault after all. Facing his own mother, the always arrogant King of Shu had no choice but to put on an obedient appearance of a child.

Zhu Chun lowered his head and said, "Concubine Mu, I know I was wrong."

"Hmph, I know I was wrong? Do you know when this is? How can you make a mistake?!"

Concubine Hui's almond-shaped eyes widened, and Zhu Chun felt that his mother and concubine got angry, and her majesty was not inferior to that of his father.

The crown prince passed away and the crown prince had not yet been established. At such a moment, no matter whether there was a prince who took the heart of the East Palace or not, no mistakes were allowed.But Zhu Chun was actually wronged. When he sneaked back, didn't he not know that his elder brother had passed away?

"Mother Concubine, when the child came back, he hadn't heard the news of the elder brother's death."

"Okay, I won't tell you about this." The anger on Concubine Hui's face remained undiminished, "The emperor has no order, why did you return to Beijing privately?"

"This..." Zhu Chun replied with a guilty conscience, "Mother and concubine will not write a letter for a long time, my son is worried about you..."

"Nonsense!" Concubine Hui interrupted Zhu Chun.It's okay for him to use it to coax others, but it doesn't work in front of his own mother.Seeing that the time was approaching, the crown prince didn't write a letter to her two sons to avoid suspicion, but Chun'er was always calm and resourceful, and she decided to come back in a hurry just because of such a trivial matter.

"Don't tell me the truth!"

"..." Knowing a son is better than a mother, he knows that the test of the mother and concubine is even more difficult than that of the father and emperor.

Therefore, Zhu Chun could only answer honestly: "I have a confidant who went back to Beijing to visit relatives. He agreed to return, but he still hasn't returned after seven or eight days. In addition, there is no news from his mother and concubine. My son had another very ominous dream. Is it..."

He didn't dare to say four or five days, but exaggerated it to seven or eight days. Thinking about it now, Xia Ziling was only four or five days late, and he hurried to look for it. He really felt a little possessed by a demon.

"Hmph," Zhu Chun said three reasons, but Concubine Hui keenly grasped that the first one is the key, "confidant? What confidant is worth your trouble? Chun'er, you are a person who wants to do big things, how can you Have the benevolence of these women?"

"I know I'm wrong." Xia Ziling's importance to him, he hadn't thought it through yet, explaining too much to his mother and concubine would be useless.It is better to bow your head and admit your mistake.

"Fortunately, this matter was dealt with in the end, but we lost a very important thing, do you know?" That thing was not easy for Sapphire to get from the prince's sick bed, and she originally planned to use it on the more critical moment.

For example, when the emperor really decides to establish a new crown prince, it is equivalent to proving that the deceased prince supported Chun'er. With the emperor's deep affection for the prince, this weight is not insignificant.But... such a precious thing had to be used for such meaningless things because of Chun'er's absurd behavior for a while.How can this make her not angry? !

"Mother concubine..." Speaking of it, given the relationship between Lanyu and the crown prince, he was not surprised at all that Lanyu could get this thing from the crown prince, but he felt a little surprised that Lanyu was so desperate to help their mother and son up.

Zhu Chun looked around and asked in a very low voice, "What is the relationship between Marquis Yongchang and you?"

"Old friend." Concubine Hui answered quite quickly.

"It's really just an old friend?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Concubine Hui looked directly at her son without a trace of guilt.

"Mother and concubine's words, my son will certainly believe it."

Concubine Hui nodded, "Go back to Zhongdu properly, don't be too conspicuous recently. If there are no accidents, there will be a chance to show off soon."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui waved her hand, she obviously didn't want to say any more, and she didn't intend to keep the King of Shu to eat.

"Yes." Zhu Chun replied without asking, turned and left Changyang Palace.

Yingtian is such an eventful place, it is not suitable to stay for a long time recently.Everyone rested for a night, and set off to return to Zhongdu the next day.

Back in Zhongdu, the role of concubine Hui's training son in Changyang Palace is reversed, becoming the training student of the King of Shu——

"Say, did you tell others about my departure from Zhongdu?"

Before leaving Zhongdu, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Zhu Chun's excuse to the outside world was that he went to Huangjue Temple for a short stay on the Lantern Festival.King Xiang and King Han didn't know about it, they knew that he was actually the one who returned to the capital, Zhu Gui was the only one, why did Jin Yiwei come to arrest him less than an hour after he entered the city of Nanjing, it was obvious that someone was rushing, Send the news to Shengqian in advance.

Zhu Gui acted like a little daughter-in-law, nana said: "Should...haven't told others."

Zhu Chun's eyes showed a cold light, "Should?"

Under the staring eyes of his brother, Zhu Gui had no choice but to answer honestly: "Maybe I drank too much in Lanyue Pavilion on Yuanxiao that day, and spoke nonsense. But... Haoyue shouldn't leak the news, right?"

"Hmph, that's the end." Needless to say, that's how the news got out.Zhu Chun had long felt that the Lanyue Pavilion was not simple, and the person behind it might be the vassal king.However, Zhu Chun is not interested in exploring it. In the current situation, there are too many vassal kings ready to move. It is meaningless to know who is behind his back. The only way is to be careful in the future, so as not to be caught.

"As expected...is it Haoyue's fault?" Hearing what his brother said, Zhu Gui was not stupid, and immediately thought of the crux of the matter.This guy is also considered a sentimental type, thinking that the person he loves by his pillow every night will betray him, his face turns blue and white, and he is obviously a little bit shocked.

"Most likely, but he's just a pawn. In short, don't go to him again in the future."

"Who is Haoyue?" Xia Ziling, who was sitting aside after listening to Zhu Chun for a long time, still hadn't figured out who they were talking about.

Zhu Gui said: "It's the master of Lanyue Pavilion, oh, one of the masters."

"Where is Lanyue Pavilion?" Zhu Gui replied, seemingly not solving his mystery at all.

"that is……"

"It's a casino, Zhu Gui, next time you go to that kind of place where you don't learn well, I'm going to write a letter to your father." As soon as Zhu Gui opened his mouth, Zhu Chun rushed to interrupt him.

"..." Zhu Gui was speechless for a while.Lanyue Pavilion is obviously a serious Xianggu Pavilion, so why doesn't his brother let it be said that it is a place for gambling?

It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang hated whoring|prostitutes, but he hated even more the gambling that squandered money, corrupted the social atmosphere and even ruined many families.The Ming Dynasty stipulated that all gamblers should chop off their hands, and officials would be charged with a higher level of crime. Why did my brother charge himself with gambling for no reason?

But Zhu Gui, apart from his father Zhu Yuanzhang, the person he is most afraid of is actually his elder brother who has been strict with his mother and concubine since he was a child, mature and stable.He often made a mistake, and his mother and concubine doted on him and were reluctant to beat him, but Zhu Chun did not hesitate to beat his younger brother.

Therefore, now that my brother said that Lanyue Pavilion was a casino, that was it, and he didn't dare to expose it.

"That's right... this casino has an elegant name." Shouldn't the casino be called something like "Golden Ingot" or "Cornucopia"?The name of this room is completely unreminiscent of a casino, okay?

Zhu Chun coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Anyway, Zhu Gui, you are not allowed to look for that Haoyue again."

"Oh." Although Zhu Gui was a little depressed, he also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he responded quickly.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, and said with some hesitation: "Brother, then... the position of the East Palace, does Emperor Father have any considerations?"

Xia Ziling's expression changed. The two brothers, discussing such a sensitive issue in front of him, really did not regard themselves as outsiders at all.

"Do you think he will tell me even if he has any consideration?"

"...Anyway, brother, if you want me to say that among so many princes, you are undoubtedly the best. Who can give you the position in the East Palace? I absolutely support you." Zhu Gui said this with great pride, and he wanted to say He's a bit stupid, but his loyalty to his elder brother is unquestionable.

"You don't have to mention half a word of this when you go out."

"That's natural, you really think I'm a fool."

"You really are."

"Brother, you are definitely not my real brother!" Zhu Gui yelled dissatisfied.

Seeing the two brothers bickering as usual, Xia Ziling felt that this rare leisure time was really wonderful.Zhu Biao died a few years earlier, and Zhu Yunqi was only ten years old at this time, and Emperor Hongwu didn't seem to be as determined as Zheng Shi to pass on the throne to his grandson.In this case, the battle between the princes will start soon, and the bloody storm in the future will definitely not be easily dealt with.

The opportunity that Concubine Hui said came soon as expected——

In the 20th year of Hongwu, it has been two years since the pacification of Yunnan. Emperor Boer of Tianyuan in the Northern Yuan Dynasty is only a catty. Togusi Timur has been on the verge of moving in recent years. He has completely disobeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's agreement when he was released back to Mobei. From time to time, he led troops to harass Ming Dynasty. northern border.At that time, most of the northern kings had not yet established their vassals. Togusi Timur Jin Wangna shot one shot, and Yan Wangna snatched another. Both kings and the frontier army were irritated by the Mongol Tartars, and they wrote to Emperor Hongwu to send The army pacified Beiyuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang lost his wife and son in the past two years, and suffered repeated blows. He was full of depression in his heart, and the enemy who came to his door just let him vent his anger.

Emperor Hongwu wanted to conquest himself, but was desperately dissuaded by the officials. Besides, after he became the prime minister, all the government affairs were spread on him, even the prince who helped to act as an agent of state affairs disappeared. If he conscripted himself, the Ming Dynasty ship had just weighed anchor His warship had to run aground, and in desperation the personal conquest had to be given up.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Feng Sheng as general, Fu Youde and Lan Yu as deputy commanders, and started the fifth Northern Expedition.

Sure enough, the 20 army lived up to the entrustment. It took only half a year to pacify Liaodong, persuade the strongest remaining general Naha to surrender, and captured more than 24 soldiers and civilians under Naha, as well as countless livestock and luggage.After such a big victory, when the squadron returned to the court, Zhu Yuanzhang was instigated by Feng Sheng to conceal the horse and lost Pu Ying and other insignificant things.

It's a pity that Feng Sheng has made countless military exploits throughout his life as a soldier, and finally presented a victory, but in exchange for the master's suspicion.However, Feng Sheng didn't know that depriving him of the commander-in-chief was a small matter, and the final outcome waiting for him was death, but it was not the time yet.

He will not be the first military general Zhu Yuanzhang beheaded, nor will he be the last.The day when the barb on Can Yuan's wooden stick was pulled out was the collective mourning period for the generals of the Ming Dynasty.In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, these old men who are proud of their military exploits have lost their former role more and more, and will only bring endless troubles to his descendants.

Because Feng Sheng was dismissed, Fu Youde was also old, so in September, when Zhu Yuanzhang decided to make the sixth Northern Expedition, there were not many candidates in front of him who could take on the important task of coach. Entrusted to - Sapphire.
