The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

After the celebration banquet, Zhu Di asked a painter to paint portraits of his family.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji was painted first.

Since his birth until now, no one has painted for him.Zhu Di wanted to paint for his grandson himself, but unfortunately his painting skills are mediocre.

Although Princess Yan is proficient in Danqing, she is not good at painting portraits, nor can she personally paint portraits of her precious grandson.

The painter is a well-known portrait artist in Beiping Prefecture.Today, the "Idol" of His Royal Highness worshiped by every household in Beiping Mansion is made by him.He had never met Zhu Zhanji before, and he just drew the little highness according to his imagination, but he didn't expect that the paintings were half or six points similar.

He never dreamed that one day he would be able to personally paint a portrait of His Highness.

This time, he didn't beautify Zhu Zhanji, but just realistically drew the appearance of His Royal Highness.

This painter can not only draw Zhu Zhanji's appearance realistically, but also draw the lively expression of His Royal Highness.

Zhu Zhanji saw that the painter painted him so much like him, so he immediately wanted to worship him as his teacher and learn portraits from him.

The painter is naturally willing.For him, being able to accept His Highness as an apprentice is the most honored thing in his life.

At Zhu Zhanji's request, the artist drew many portraits of their family, Zhu Zhanji's personal portraits.Portraits of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di.Portraits of Zhu Zhanji and Princess Yan.Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di, and the portrait of Princess Yan.Portraits of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi, and Zhang Mingzhen.Zhu Zhanji, his grandparents, and portraits of his parents.There is also a portrait of Zhu Di, Princess Yan and their three sons.

After the portrait was framed, Zhu Di hung the portrait of him and Zhu Zhanji together in the study.Of course, there is also a portrait of him, Princess Yan and Zhu Zhanji together.

Zhu Di returned to Beiping this time to rest.It has been more than ten days since I came back, and the state and mentality of the soldiers have been adjusted.Coupled with the fact that the army of the Nanjing imperial court is heading north, it is impossible for Zhu Di to sit still and wait for the army of the Nanjing imperial court to attack Beiping Mansion.

Before sending troops this time, he sacrificed to his ancestors again, and issued a proclamation to scold the Nanjing court, mainly Emperor Jianwen, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng.

When Zhu Di scolded in front of all the soldiers and the people of Beiping Mansion, a strange thing happened, that is, a real dragon appeared in the sky above Yan Wang Mansion.

In fact, when Zhu Di issued his proclamation and scolded Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, he was not in Yanwang Mansion, but in Qingshou Temple.

Sky appeared again in the sky above Yanwang Mansion, and one can imagine the commotion it caused.

Not to mention that the soldiers and common people were shocked, even Zhu Di himself was severely shocked.

The last time a real dragon appeared in the sky above King Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di was fighting in other places, so he didn't see it with his own eyes.Now, he witnessed the scene of the real dragon appearing in the sky above King Yan's Mansion, and he was both shocked and excited, and even more ecstatic.

This time the scene of the real dragon appearing in the sky above Yanwang Mansion is even more shocking than last time.In fact, the real dragon that appeared this time is as lifelike as the real dragon that appeared last time.It's just that this time the real dragon appeared when Zhu Di denounced the Nanjing court, which has a very profound meaning.

Originally, the soldiers and the people of Beiping Mansion believed that Zhu Di was the Son of Dragon, but they believed it through Zhu Zhanji.Now, this scene makes everyone believe that Zhu Di is also the real dragon emperor.

If it wasn't for Zhu Di's permission, they would have knelt down and shouted "Long live the prince".

Zhu Di himself didn't expect that his proclamation would attract the appearance of the real dragon, which made him feel that the dispatch of troops tomorrow would be very smooth.

This time the real dragon appeared in the sky above Yanwang Mansion, which has nothing to do with Zhu Di.If the real dragon really appeared because of Zhu Di, it should have appeared directly above his head, not above Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Zhanji stared dumbfounded at the cloud of dragons that appeared in the sky.Just now he felt that there was a cloud in the sky that looked a bit like a dragon, so he said Xialong, but he didn't expect that the cloud would change after a while, and it would directly become a lifelike dragon.

When he first looked at it, the cloud was only outlined like a dragon.

Princess Yan witnessed the scene where the cloud directly turned into a dragon in the sky above, and she was stunned. It took a while to recover, and she looked at her grandson in disbelief: "Zhan Ji, you..."

Zhu Zhanji withdrew his finger pointing to the air a long time ago, and then shook his head quickly to his grandma: "It's not me." Well, he didn't believe it himself.However, he really felt that he was not capable of summoning Shenlong.

Princess Yan reached out her hand to touch her grandson's little head, and comforted her in a warm voice: "It's okay." Zhanji, the child...

Zhu Zhanji looked at the dragon in the sky in astonishment, what is going on, is it a coincidence?

He didn't even believe it was a coincidence, how could it be such a coincidence.

However, just because he said dragon, and then a cloud of dragons appeared directly, isn't it too outrageous?

He really doesn't have this ability.

Forget it, even if he said that he had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.

After a while, the cloud of the dragon in the sky changed.I saw Long stretching his neck suddenly, lowering his head to look down at the Palace of King Yan.

Zhu Zhanji was in the yard, staring at the dragon above.I don't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that the dragon in the sky was looking at him.

Obviously it has no eyes, but Zhu Zhanji always feels that it is looking at him.

Looking at it, he inexplicably felt that it was kind, and couldn't help stretching out his hand towards it.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the clouds of the dragon in the sky changed again. It seemed to lower its head even lower.

Looking from the direction of Gyeongjusa Temple, you can see the dragon in the sky leaning down a little bit.At this time, the dragon's head was directly on the roof of King Yan's Mansion, as if within reach.

Princess Yan, who was standing behind Zhu Zhanji, looked at the scene in disbelief.In her eyes, the dragon in the air lowered its head and approached Zhu Zhanji, as if her grandson could touch it by raising his hand.Not only that, she seemed to feel Longwei coming towards her face.

As for Bai Hua and his group of servants, they had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the dragon above.

Zhu Zhanji stared blankly at the dragon who seemed to be right in front of him.He seemed to really see a dragon appearing in front of him, and lowered his head to rub his hand.

Another gust of wind blew, the dragon's whiskers fluttered in the air, and the dragon's tail swayed slightly.At this moment, it seems that this dragon is real.

When Zhu Di hurried back from Qingshou Temple on horseback, he saw his grandson reaching out to touch the dragon with its head lowered from the sky.He didn't dare to disturb this scene, and walked to Zhu Zhanji's side very carefully step by step.

Before, when he was in Qingshou Temple, when he saw a dragon appearing in the sky above King Yan's Mansion, he hurried back on horseback.

Qingshou Temple is in the city of Beiping Prefecture, not very far from Yanwang Palace, if you ride a fast horse, you can get back in a while.

Zhu Di stared at the dragon with his head down.He felt as if he had really seen a real dragon, and he really felt the fearsome power of the dragon.

Another gust of wind blew, and the dragon above the Yanwang Mansion immediately disappeared without leaving a trace, as if nothing happened just now, nothing appeared.

After a while, Princess Yan woke up and found that Zhu Di had returned, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, why are you back?"

Zhu Di was awakened by Princess Yan's words: "I'll come back and have a look." After speaking, he knelt down in front of Zhu Zhanji, "Zhanji, you..."

Zhu Zhanji was still immersed in the shock just now, did not come back to his senses, and blinked blankly: "Grandpa?"

"Zhanji, the dragon just now..." Zhu Di was very excited. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Grandpa, what happened to the dragon just now?"

Princess Yan said at this time: "My lord, the dragon just now was called by Zhan Ji."

"What?" Zhu Di raised his head abruptly, and looked at Princess Yan in astonishment, "Princess, what's going on?"

Princess Yan told Zhu Di exactly what happened just now: "Zhanji pointed to the sky and said there was a dragon, but I didn't expect the dragon to appear."

Zhu Di's heart was beating wildly, as if it could jump out of his chest in the next moment.

"Zhan Ji, you..." Zhu Di was trembling because he was too excited.

Zhu Zhanji had come to his senses at this time, he picked his face and said: "Grandpa, I saw a cloud in the sky that looked like a dragon, and then it really looked like a dragon." This thing is really weird, and he can't explain it clearly anymore up.

Zhu Di restrained his agitated mood: "Our Zhanji is really good!" Jin Zhong was right, this kid Zhanji is indeed a real dragon.

Zhu Zhanji could only smirk at this: "Hey hey..." He didn't know what was going on.Also, the dragon just now felt a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

Zhu Di touched his grandson's face, said nothing, and then left.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the back of Zhu Di leaving, with doubts on his small face: "Grandma, what's wrong with grandpa?"

"Your grandfather has returned to Qingshou Temple." Princess Yan picked up Zhu Zhanji and said, "Grandma will take you to have some snacks, okay?"

"Okay." Having a snack, Zhu Zhanji forgot what happened just now.

Zhu Di returned to Qingshou Temple and continued to give a speech.His voice was so excited that everyone present was excited.

As for the dragon appearing in the sky above Yan Wang's mansion just now, Zhu Di didn't say anything.Everyone has seen it, there is no need for him to say anything.Besides, if he said it, it would look too vulgar, without any sense of mystery.

After Zhu Di encouraged the soldiers, he followed Daoyan into Qingshou Temple.

The soldiers and the people did not leave, but got together to discuss what happened just now.

Zhu Di told Dao Yan the reason for the dragon appearing in the sky above King Yan's Mansion: "Master, what is the meaning of this?"

Dao Yan was shocked for a while, then smiled and said: "My lord, this means that you will succeed in sending troops this time, and you will become the real dragon emperor."

In front of Dao Yan, Zhu Di never concealed his ambition.Hearing Dao Yan say "True Dragon Son of Heaven", he didn't stop him.

"So, I'm relieved."

"My lord, you have to pay attention."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly: "Master, what do you mean?"

"The poor monk speculates that the Nanjing court will do something." Dao Yan said with a deep expression on his face, "This time the real dragon appeared when you issued a message, I am afraid that Nanjing will receive news soon .”

Zhu Di smiled complacently: "It's not a bad thing to spread this matter to Nanjing. It will make the officials and people of the Nanjing court believe that this king is the real emperor of the real dragon, and Zhu Yunqi is nothing."

"Two real dragons appeared in the sky over King Yan's Mansion. This is a huge blow to the Nanjing court. I'm afraid that today's incident will cause quite a stir if it spreads to Nanjing."

"This is what the King wants." Zhu Di said again, "However, Master, you are right, Nanjing will not sit idly by on this matter, and the King will be careful."

"My lord, the whole world should believe your words this time, and believe that you are the real dragon emperor." Dao Yan smiled meaningfully, "Nanjing will have people's hearts fluttering."

"This king wants this result." Zhu Di laughed very flamboyantly, "This incident will make this king gain more people's hearts and support."

"My lord, what Jin Zhong said is correct, Your Highness is a real dragon."

"Jin Zhong is indeed right." Zhu Di couldn't calm down for a long time when he thought of the scene he saw when he returned home.

When Zhu Di issued a proclamation to scold the Nanjing court, the news of the real dragon appearing over Yan Wang's mansion spread like a gust of wind to the Peking mansion, and soon swept to the Nanjing court.

If there is any movement in Beiping Mansion, the Nanjing court will get the news soon.

When Emperor Jianwen learned of this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Last time, the appearance of a real dragon in the sky above King Yan's Mansion can be said to be a coincidence.However, this time, the real dragon appeared in the sky above Yanwang Mansion again, so it can no longer be said to be a coincidence.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for a demon to create a real dragon.

If the demon method can produce a real dragon, then what is the matter with him, the real dragon emperor.

Not only Emperor Jianwen was shocked, but even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

The appearance of a real dragon in the sky above King Yan's Mansion last time has shaken the hearts of many ministers.This time, the real dragon appeared in the sky above King Yan's mansion again, but it appeared when King Yan scolded the court. What does this mean?

This means that God approves of Yan Wang, which means that Yan Wang is right.

What a dragon!

Two real dragons appeared in the sky above Yanwang Mansion!

And the real dragon never appeared in the sky over Nanjing!

what does this mean? !

This shows that the real emperor of the real dragon is in Yan Wang's mansion, not in Nanjing!

Many ministers couldn't help guessing in their hearts, is it true that the emperor is not the real dragon emperor, but Yan Wang is the real real dragon genius?

Not to mention other ministers, but the few ministers whom Emperor Jianwen trusted most were also frightened.

Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru are important ministers of Emperor Jianwen, and they have always supported Emperor Jianwen unswervingly.They think that King Yan is a traitor, and Emperor Jianwen is the orthodox and true dragon emperor.

The last time a dragon appeared in the sky above Yan Wang's mansion, the three of them said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, must have used some kind of demon method, or a blindfold to make a real dragon appear in the sky above his mansion.They also believe so.However, this time the real dragon appeared when King Yan denounced the court, what does it mean...

The three of them didn't dare to think about it.

Although Zi didn't talk about strange powers and chaos, but the real dragon is not chaos.

It can't be a coincidence that the real dragon appeared twice in Yan Wang's mansion, could it be...

Fang Xiaoru and the three of them did not dare to think any further.

The three of them comforted Emperor Jianwen, this time it was Zhu Di who used the magic trick to deceive the eyes, in order to deceive the whole world that he is the real dragon emperor, so that Emperor Jianwen should not take it to heart.

Of course, the three of them also suggested that Emperor Jianwen order a ban on talking about this matter.This matter must not be allowed to spread in Nanjing, but it is a pity that Emperor Jianwen came down late, and this matter has already spread in Nanjing.

When this incident was learned by the court, it had already spread to the people in Nanjing.

The imperial court ordered that it be forbidden to discuss this matter, but the common people could not be forbidden to discuss it in private.

"I heard that when King Yan scolded the emperor and treacherous officials, the real dragon appeared."

"I heard that when the real dragon appears, it will shine with golden light."

"It is said that people in Beiping Mansion saw a real dragon flying in the sky."

"Yes, yes, they still heard the dragon's roar."

"I have a relative in Beiping Mansion. When the real dragon appeared last time, their family saw it. They wrote to me and told me that the real dragon was so majestic that they couldn't breathe."

"real or fake?"

"of course it's true."

"If the emperor is really the emperor of the real dragon, why doesn't the real dragon appear in Nanjing?"

"Didn't your majesty say that it was King Yan who deceived us with the blindfolded tricks?"

"If this is the case, why did the imperial court prohibit us from talking about it?"

"That's right, what demon method can make a real dragon. That's a real dragon."

"If the evil method really makes a real dragon, why doesn't the emperor ask someone to make a real dragon?"

"The emperor can get a real dragon at this time, so that he can better prove that he is the emperor of the real dragon."

"I don't think the emperor is the real dragon emperor."

"So, King Yan was right to rebel."

"If it's not right, how could there be a real dragon in the Palace of King Yan?"

"You said that if King Yan hits Nanjing, will there be a real dragon?"

"I haven't seen the real dragon yet. If King Yan comes to Nanjing and can really make the real dragon appear, I believe he is the real emperor of the real dragon."

"The King of Yan should be in Nanjing soon."

"I really hope King Yan can come to Nanjing soon."

Not only the common people talked about this matter in private, even many ministers also quietly discussed this matter.

"King Yan is really the Son of Heaven?"

"King Yan is the fourth son of the late emperor, and his blood is orthodox. It is not surprising that he is the son of the real dragon."

"To be honest, in terms of ability, the emperor is inferior to King Yan."

"Actually, the late emperor also liked King Yan back then, but the emperor is the son of Prince Yiwen, so the first emperor let the emperor succeed him."

"Zibuyu is strange, but there are two real dragons in the sky above the Yan Palace, how to explain it?"

"This time it appeared when King Yan scolded the imperial court. Isn't it obvious what this means?"

"What do you think we will do in the future?"

"What are we worried about? The emperor is the one who is most disturbed now."

Although Fang Xiaoru and the others told Emperor Jianwen not to believe it, Emperor Jianwen still couldn't help thinking about it.

Since learning about this incident, Emperor Jianwen couldn't sleep at night.

At this time, he was kneeling in front of the tablets of his ancestors.

"Grandfather, father, what should I do?" He knew in his heart that he had issued an order to prohibit anyone from discussing this matter, but it could not stop the doubts in the hearts of ministers and common people. "If I am really the emperor of the real dragon, please let the real dragon appear in Nanjing."

Emperor Jianwen knelt in front of the tablet for a long time, begging Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to bless him, and let the real dragon appear in Nanjing.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to stop the rumors about the appearance of a real dragon over the Yan Palace, a real dragon must also appear in the sky over Nanjing.

It's night, in Zhu Zhanji's dream.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others learned from Zhu Zhanji that the real dragon appeared again in the sky above the Yan Palace, but they were not surprised.

After Zhu Biao taught Zhu Zhanji, he asked him to go to bed.

"Yunwen prayed to us so that the real dragon would appear in the sky above Nanjing." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed heavily, "Oh, how can we do this."

"Yun Wen is scared and uneasy." Zhu Biao felt sorry for his son, but this kind of thing was beyond their capabilities.

"If it were me, I would be afraid too." The emperor claimed to be the emperor of the real dragon, but the real dragon did not appear in Nanjing, but appeared in Yanwang's mansion. It would be strange if Yun Wen was not afraid. "Oh, it's all life."

Zhu Biao sighed, "It's all fate."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Leave them alone." Besides, they couldn't control them even if they wanted to.

"Father, I..."

As soon as Zhu Biao opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted him: "You can't go to Yun Wen's dream unless Zhan Ji agrees." They exist because of Zhan Ji, and they have always existed in Zhan Ji's dream, You can't just go into other people's dreams unless Zhanji agrees.

"We can't do anything."

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao fell silent.

In fact, he wanted to go to Yun Wen's dream, not because he wanted to do something, but because he wanted Yun Wen to...

"Boss, we are all dead, and Yun Wen has nothing to do with us." Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the eldest son was feeling bad, but in fact he didn't feel bad either. "We only have something to do with Zhan Ji now."

Zhu Biao understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, nodded and said, "Father, I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again: "Everything is fate."

During this period of time, Zhu Yunwen went to pray every day, but his prayers were useless, and no real dragon appeared in the sky above Nanjing.

The fact that Zhu Yunwen knelt down to worship the ancestors could not be hidden from the ministers.The ministers also knew why Zhu Yunqi went to worship, and they still hoped that Emperor Jianwen's prayer would be successful, and that the real dragon would appear in Nanjing.It's a pity that they waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for the real dragon to appear.

Seeing that the emperor failed to pray for the appearance of the real dragon, the common people believed more and more in their hearts that the emperor was not the emperor of the real dragon, but King Yan was the emperor of the real dragon.Of course, they dare not show it.

Duke of Wei.

"Fourth brother, does the emperor really pray for the appearance of the real dragon every day?" The one who spoke was a young woman in her early twenties, with a pretty appearance, and her appearance was five points similar to that of Princess Yan who was far away in Beiping Mansion.She is Xu Miaojin, sister of Princess Yan.

"The emperor will go to offer incense every day." The person who spoke was a young man in his 20s, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Da.He is Xu Zengshou, the fourth son of Xu Da. "Only the emperor himself knows what to ask for, but everyone is saying that the emperor wants to pray for the real dragon to appear."

Xu Miaojin said in a low voice: "Did the emperor pray for the real dragon to appear because he saw the real dragon appearing in brother-in-law's house?"

Xu Zengshou nodded slightly: "I'm afraid it is."

"Isn't it the blinding tricks created by demons?" Xu Miaojin was puzzled, "Then why did the emperor pray for the real dragon to appear?"

Xu Zengshou smiled disdainfully: "If it's really a trick created by a demon, why would the emperor go to offer incense and pray." He looked around warily, and whispered to Xu Miaojin, "The emperor himself believes it."

"Fourth brother, do you think this is true?"

Xu Zengshou said thoughtfully: "I don't think it can be faked. After all, everyone in the whole Beiping Mansion has seen it. Besides, the eldest sister sent a letter saying that she saw it with her own eyes."

"If this is true, it means that brother-in-law is..." Xu Miaojin didn't dare to continue.

Xu Zengshou nodded repeatedly.

"But big brother..."

Since Zhu Di sent troops, the current Wei Guogong does not support Zhu Di, and thinks that Zhu Di is a traitor.However, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin supported Zhu Di.

Xu Zengshou often secretly sent letters to Zhu Di.

"Let me persuade my brother again."

"What do you want to persuade me?" Wei Guogong Xu Huizu walked in, looking at Xu Zengshou and the others with an uneasy expression.

"Brother, you must also know about the Yan Palace, don't you trust brother-in-law?" Xu Zengshou never understood why his elder brother didn't support brother-in-law.Compared to the emperor, brother-in-law is a family with them.Besides, the eldest sister supports her brother-in-law to send troops.

"Nonsense!" Xu Huizu said coldly.

"What nonsense, if it is really nonsense, elder brother, why do you think the emperor went to offer incense and pray for blessings during this time?"

"The emperor is praying for the country and the country." Xu Huizu looked at his younger brother and younger sister sternly, "If you two say that you support the rebels, don't blame me, the big brother, for being rude."

"Brother-in-law is a traitor, so what is Eldest Sister?" Xu Zengshou glared at Xu Huizu angrily, "Brother, Eldest Sister and we are a family."

"I'm not helping my parents."

"It's a good assistant who doesn't help my relatives. Now God is on my brother-in-law's side. Brother, are you going to fight against God?"

"Xu Zengshou!" Xu Huizu scolded with a cold face, "Where have you been reading sage books?"

"I don't care about any sage books, I only know that we and my eldest sister are a family."

"you……"

Seeing that the eldest brother and the fourth brother were about to quarrel again, Xu Miaojin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Elder brother, fourth brother, please stop arguing."

"Brother, you are wrong." Xu Zengshou left after saying this.

Xu Huizu's face was very ugly, he turned his head and said to Xu Miaojin: "You, a daughter, don't talk too much about the court affairs."

Xu Miaojin said obediently, "I see, brother."

After the Long Yi incident appeared in the sky above Yanwang Mansion that day, Zhu Di led the army to leave Beiping Mansion again.

According to the original plan, Zhu Di should go south again, but he changed his route and said that he was going to attack Liaodong.His move was very successful, and he directly captured Cangzhou.

After that, Zhu Di's army went to Guan County, Xing County, Dong'e and other places first.He sent another army to Jining.Knowing that Sheng Yong's army had gone to Dongchang, he stationed in Dongchang again.

When he first arrived in Dongchang, he had another dream, in which he fought Sheng Yongjun and defeated him.Not only that, when Sheng Yong's army joined Ping'an's army, Zhu Di's army was inferior to them. Not only was he defeated miserably, he also lost Zhang Yu, a capable general.

In the dream, in the battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di's army suffered heavy losses, which was the worst defeat he ever lost after sending troops.For the Nanjing court, the victory in the First Battle of Dongchang greatly encouraged the morale of the army. [Selected from—Ming Cheng Ancestral Biography]

"Grandpa, did you see that?"

Zhu Di said with a pale face, "I see."

Zhu Zhanji reached out and touched his grandfather's face, and comforted him in a childlike voice: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will save you, you will be fine."

Zhu Di reached out and hugged Zhu Zhanji tightly, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you are here."

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and patted his grandfather's back: "Grandpa, I like Uncle Zhang Yu very much, and I don't want him to die."

Thinking of seeing Zhang Yu's death in battle just now, Zhu Di felt a throbbing pain in his heart: "Grandpa will not let Zhang Yu die." Zhang Yu is his right-hand man, and he will never let Zhang Yu die in battle.

"I believe in Grandpa." Zhu Zhanji reached out and patted Zhu Di's forehead gently, and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm going to bed, you should go to sleep too."

Where Zhu Di could still sleep, he immediately woke up from his dream.

He recalled the scene in his dream, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.He would never allow the situation in his dream to happen.

"My lord, why are you awake?" Ma Sanbao heard movement in the tent, and immediately walked in.

"Go and call Zhang Yu and the others. This king has something important to discuss with them."

Seeing Zhu Di's serious face, Ma Sanbao didn't dare to hesitate, so he immediately went to call Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

After a while, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng came over.

When Zhu Di saw them, he directly told them what he had dreamed just now.

After Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng listened, their expressions were very heavy.

"It hasn't happened yet, and we still have time to prevent it from happening." Zhu Di frowned and said, "I will never allow us to fail this time."

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

"Separation plan." In the process of dispatching troops, Zhu Di separated the enemy more than once, and he succeeded every time. "Separating Sheng Yong and Li Jinglong, there is also a man named Wang Du." In the dream, this man named Wang Du gave advice to Sheng Yong, and only then did Dongchang win.

Zhu Di told Zhang Yu and the others about the next battle plan in detail, and it didn't end until dawn.

"Zhang Yu." Zhu Di suddenly called to stop Zhang Yu, and he said with a very serious expression, "I can't lose you, do you understand?"

"My lord, I have the amulet of Your Royal Highness, and I will definitely not die in battle like in your dream."

"Zhang Yu, no matter what happens, your life is the most important thing, understand?" Zhu Di didn't dare to think about the price of losing Zhang Yu, "Zhan Ji said that he likes you very much and doesn't want you to die."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Your Highness really said that?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly: "Zhanji asked me to protect you and not let you die."

"My lord, this subordinate will never die!" The lord and His Highness valued him so much, how could he die.

"This king believes that you can do what you say!"

"Subordinates will never die!"

Hearing what Zhang Yu said, Zhu Di was relieved for the most part: "Go down and make arrangements."

Next, Zhu Di was not in a hurry to attack Sheng Yong's army, but used a divorce strategy to provoke the relationship between Sheng Yong and Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong is not only very successful, but also narrow-minded.When he learned that Sheng Yong was better than him, of course he refused to accept it.What disturbed him the most was that he was afraid that Sheng Yong would steal his credit.

Zhu Di used a divorce plan to provoke the relationship between Sheng Yong and Wang Du, causing Wang Du to be suspected by Sheng Yong, and his proposal was not adopted.

In addition to the divorce plan, Zhu Di rearranged the battle plan again.

After the divorce plan was successful, Zhu Di's army attacked Sheng Yong's army.

Because he knew the battle of Sheng Yong's army in advance in the dream, Zhu Di's army easily cracked it, and did not let Sheng Yong's army succeed.

On the first day, Zhu Di's army was victorious, while Sheng Yong was defeated.

The next day, the two armies fought again, and the battle was very fierce.Although Zhu Di's army won again, many people were killed and injured.However, Sheng Yongjun lost even more.

During the battle between the two armies, Zhang Yu was wounded in the chest by an enemy firearm.Fortunately, it only hurt the edge of the heart, not life-threatening.

In Zhu Di's dream, Zhang Yu was shot in the chest by an enemy firearm and died on the spot.

Although Zhang Yu's life was not in danger, his injuries were serious and he needed to recuperate for a while.

For Zhu Di, it is really great that Zhang Yu is not dead.

"Thanks to the amulet of His Royal Highness, otherwise this time I really..." Zhang Yu is still very scared.

"The king has already written to the princess, asking her to make you another amulet." The amulet Zhang Yu had been wearing before helped him block the firearm, and Zhu Zhanji's lanugo hair in the amulet was burned away. "You are recuperating well in the barracks during this time."

"Trouble Princess." Zhang Yu said weakly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates will take a good rest." Although he really wanted to go to the battlefield, he was seriously injured and couldn't do anything. Get well soon.

"When we win, I will send someone to send you back to Beiping to recuperate." After all, it is inconvenient to recuperate in the military camp. After all, the medicinal materials are limited, and the food and drink are not very good, which is not conducive to recuperating.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhu Neng didn't say much, and let Zhang Yu rest well.

Zhu Gaosui didn't say much, but Zhu Gaoxu said a lot, and even gave Zhang Yu the ginseng he specially brought.

Zhang Yu naturally refused, but Zhu Di let him accept.With ginseng, Zhang Yu's injury will heal faster.

Zhu Di talked to Zhang Yu for a while before leaving.

Next, Zhu Di's army and Sheng Yong's army continued to fight for several days, and finally defeated Sheng Yong's army at the end of the year.

The defeat of Sheng Yong's army was unexpected for Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, and Li Jinglong.They thought they would definitely win Zhu Di's army this time, but they didn't expect them to lose miserably.

This time, in order to defeat Zhu Di's army, the Nanjing court invested a lot of manpower and food, but they still lost.

This news was sent back to the Nanjing court, which dealt a great blow to Emperor Jianwen.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the defeat of Sheng Yong's army casts a heavy shadow over the Nanjing court.

Strange to say, before Sheng Yong's army was defeated, the weather in Nanjing was very good and sunny.However, when the news of Sheng Yongjun's defeat came back, the weather in Nanjing immediately became gloomy.

The sky was dark, as if there was a posture of rain coming, which made people feel very depressing.

The hearts of ordinary people in Nanjing are also shrouded in haze.Originally thought that they would have a stable year this year, but unexpectedly it was a year of anxiety.

With the great victory in Dongchang, Zhu Di's army was greatly invigorated, and the emotions and confidence of the soldiers were also very high.

Zhu Di did not return to Peking for the New Year, but decided to go south.Taking advantage of the defeat of the Nanjing imperial army, they took advantage of the victory to pursue.Zhu Di's army will not celebrate the new year, so the Nanjing court will not be able to celebrate the new year with peace of mind.

However, the people of Beiping Prefecture can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

Zhu Di and the others didn't come back for the New Year, and the Palace of Yan Palace was a little less lively this year.

Fortunately, King Ning's family is here, so this year's year in King Yan's Mansion is not very deserted.

Zhu Di was not there, and Zhu Gaochi, as the eldest son and the son of the eldest son, naturally wanted to act as an agent to worship the ancestors.

On the first day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Zhu Gaochi took Zhu Zhanji to Qingshou Temple to worship the sacrificed soldiers, and then returned to Yanwang Mansion to worship the ancestors.

At this time, Emperor Jianwen, who was far away in Nanjing, led his officials to worship the Tiandi Ancestral Temple.

Before Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he dreamed that the gods would send treasures.After he ascended the throne, an envoy sent a piece of sapphire obtained from the snow mountain, which is rare.

Just one year ago, Emperor Jianwen dreamed that the gods gave treasures again, and then he thought of this piece of sapphire, so he ordered craftsmen to make a big seal, and carved sixteen characters on it, which read, "Heaven's mandate is bright, and the four directions are right." , the essence is persistent, and the universe will prosper forever."

This year's sacrifice, Emperor Jianwen just used it.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple of Heaven and Earth was very grand, with flags covering the sky, drums and music beating together, and all civil and military officials bowing down, shouting "Long Live" in their mouths, resounding throughout the sky over Nanjing.

The reason why Emperor Jianwen used the newly built seal to worship the Tiandi Ancestral Temple was to pray to the heavens and hope that the gods and ancestors would bless them.

Compared with the sacrifices of the Nanjing court, the sacrifices in the Yanwang Mansion seemed a bit shabby.However, when Emperor Jianwen offered sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple, a real dragon appeared again in the sky above Yanwang Mansion.

The real dragon that appeared this time was different from the previous two.The real dragon that appeared this time was very large, not only hovering over the Yanwang Mansion, but also hovering over the Beiping Mansion.Not only that, its body was dyed golden by the sun, and it was so dazzlingly golden.

Now not only the people in the entire Beiping Mansion saw it, but even people from places outside of Beiping Mansion saw it.

This time the real dragon appeared for a long time, and lasted for almost an hour before dissipating.It happened to be as long as Emperor Jianwen and the others sacrificed.

Emperor Jianwen thought that today's sacrifice to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple was very successful, and the imperial army would surely win next.

Perhaps it was because the sacrifice gave the ministers confidence.During the luncheon, everyone was in a very relaxed mood.However, it didn't take long for them to learn that while they were doing the sacrifice, the real dragon
