This is not a knock

A truce, a real truce, actually does not exist and is impossible.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 30 years, over the years, wars, big or small, have continued without a real stop.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu was proclaimed to be emperor in Yingtian Prefecture, but there was no peace in the world at that time. Even at that time, the Mongol Yuan regime occupied Dadu, and the Ming Dynasty did not actually completely recover the Central Plains.

The two northern expeditions were not until the Great Fisherhai Victory in the 21st year of Hongwu that it was considered to have dismantled the Northern Yuan regime.

In between, these wars were actually continued to recapture the Hexi Corridor, subdue the Duan clan of Dali, attack the Bashu in the west, suppress the barbarian rebellion, etc.

What's more, even if Zhu Yunyou ascended the throne, he would have made another northern expedition in the north. Although the Mongolian Yuan regime collapsed, the divided tribes still existed. It was just that these people are in a bitter and cold place and are driven back to their "hometown".

It is impossible to truly stop the war, and it is also impossible for Ma Fangnanshan to exist.

Last year, the imperial court seemed to have been in a year of quitting, but many people could see some clues. The quitting at this time was just to mobilize the force better in the future and attack some other forces with all their strength.

Perhaps some civil servants are not very satisfied, and they feel that they need to be educated. They believe that the saint's theories can calm all wars. Or, they also feel that the court needs be kindness and cannot fight everywhere, which is a manifestation of military and military power.

However, such arguments obviously cannot cause any storm in the court, and it may not be possible for a slightest bit.

Whether it is Emperor Hongwu or Emperor Yingxiu, this can be regarded as a hero. They all have their own ambitions and pursuits.

What's more, there are enough martial arts power in the court. For martial arts, these people still hope to have wars so that they can make achievements and be granted marquis and generals.

In the Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu specially ordered people to prepare a banquet. Xu Huizu was a little confused and even a little scared, but he didn't dare to have any objection. Naturally, he went to the Qianqing Palace obediently, and the Supreme Emperor had an imperial edict!

"Sit down." Lao Zhu, with white hair, looked like a kind farmer old man, looked at Xu Huizu and said, "We are happy to see you like this. After all, he looks a little like Tiande, but this face is not as good as Tiande's heroic."

Xu Huizu didn't even know how to respond at this time, mainly because Emperor Hongwu's words were unusual.

Lao Zhu just smiled. He could understand Xu Huizu's nervousness, which was really normal.

Not to mention Xu Huizu, even Xu Da and Tang He, these playmates and fellow villagers of Lao Zhu since childhood, dare not be careless in front of Lao Zhu who proclaimed himself emperor. They were all cheerful when facing Lao Zhu’s banquet.

Lao Zhu sat down with a smile and pointed to the stool, "Let's let you sit, just sit. We are the old farmer in Zhongli Township, Haozhou. You are our eldest nephew and the son of our old brother. No matter what you are next to you!"

Xu Huizu didn't dare to go down the road. Xu Huizu actually knew what kind of person Emperor Hongwu was.

Lao Zhu naturally knew some of Xu Huizu's embarrassment, but he was too lazy to pay more attention to it. After all, as a hero of a generation, Lao Zhu could be said to be extremely confident, and he also knew his image in the minds of his ministers.

Not to mention Xu Huizu, even if Xu Da is resurrected, he will be very cautious in front of Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu took a sip of wine and suddenly said, "Do you know why we chose your daughter as Ying'er's grandson concubine?"

Xu Huizu replied honestly, "Your Majesty, I am stupid. I think it is because Your Majesty feels that the family tutoring of the Zhongshan Palace is rigorous, and my father is strict in discipline. Then there is His Highness, His Highness is virtuous and elegant."

Lao Zhu interrupted directly, stared at Xu Huizu's eyes and said, "We choose your daughter, but we still want Ying'er to ascend the throne in the future."

Seeing Xu Huizu lowering his head and not daring to speak, Lao Zhu continued, "I think you know what the emperor is like. We Ying'er has Su Hui, and I think you know it too. We Ying'er will be the Emperor of Ming in the future and a saint king!"

Xu Huizu wanted to flatter him. Although it was a bit exaggerated to say that the "Saint Lord" was a bit exaggerated, Xu Huizu felt that today's son did look like he became a wise king. The Ming Dynasty was even more prosperous and powerful, and Xu Huizu also felt that there was no problem.

Lao Zhu laughed and then continued, "My mother belongs to the Chang family. We thought of letting our grandson ascend the throne smoothly so that we can help our grandson. If you don't choose your Xu family, your Xu family will be of great achievements. At that time, your father is still there, and Lao Chang is gone, so don't worry."

Xu Huizu instantly broke out in cold sweat. He didn't know why the Supreme Emperor ordered him to enter the palace this time, so why did he say these things!

But when Xu Huizu had indeed thought about these things before, he couldn't figure out what Lao Zhu thought.

In terms of credit, Xu Da is obviously older than Chang Yuchun. In terms of origin, Xu Da is Lao Zhu's playmate since childhood and is the confidant of Lao Zhu's army who joined Lao Zhu's army at the beginning.

Although Chang Yuchun is also from Fengyang, he is from Huaiyuan and is not a kid with Lao Zhu. He even defected to Lao Zhu after becoming a bandit.

There may be some reasons for the previous emperor and childhood sweethearts. But Xu Huizu knew better. Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary nobles would not be so free in marriage, and often times they would have to decide on their own.

Now it seems that it is very likely that Emperor Hongwu "disliked" Xu Da for being too much, or that although the Chang family had Lan Yu who could carry the banner at that time, Chang Yuchun's three sons were not good at it.

Old Zhu laughed a few times, then said, "We chose Miaoqing at the beginning because we were interested in her being the Xu family. She promised us Ying'er, and your Xu family will protect Ying'er in the future!"

Xu Huizu wanted to escape, but some things were really not what he should have heard, and even his father was not qualified to listen to them. Even if there were some things, Xu Huizu actually understood them. But what he said was obviously a shocking thing.

Lao Zhu sighed and said slowly, "We Ying'er is precocious and has a strong opinion. When we are here, no one can touch him. But we thought at that time that if we are gone, he and Biao'er will have a conflict sooner or later. Biao'er probably won't ruin Ying'er, but Ying'er guesses that she will be depressed for many years."

Looking at Xu Huizu, whose head was almost hanging down under the table, Old Zhu continued, "Although there is this Lan Yu, Lan Yu is not young anymore. We will like you. You are just the same age and can protect our Ying'er. The Xu family and the Chang family are all tied to our Ying'er, and no one can touch him."

Lao Zhu then sighed and said, "We are thinking well. Ying'er's background is good. But his mother left early, so we are afraid that something will happen. A few years ago, Biao'er's concubine was stupid and a little blind. We don't care about it. Let's find him a good wife. We think that even if Biao'er ascended the throne, it will not be easy to move Ying'er."

"I didn't expect that, Biao'er left early." Old Zhu suddenly put down his wine glass and said sadly, "If we don't talk about those, you can protect Yin'er in the future, that's the same! We think that after Yin'er, the Crown Princess should not be the most powerful martial arts honor you."

The Crown Princess and Empress should be chosen from the Wuxun family, which is something that many people know. However, many people also understand that the Crown Princess and Grand Princess in the future may not be from the top Wuxun family, otherwise it would be a foreign company that interferes in politics.

Old Zhu looked at Xu Huizu and said seriously, "We call you here today to understand. Now you are the emperor's brother-in-law and the prince's uncle. You have to protect them, and they are helping them outward!"

Xu Huizu immediately stood up and knelt down in a hurry, "I dare not!"

"Don't dare?!" Old Zhu said sternly, "If you don't dare, we will destroy Xu Miaoqing! Remember it for us. If you can't protect the emperor or the prince, then you should die!"

Old Zhu was extremely strict and stared at Xu Huizu who was crawling on the ground and said, "The emperor doesn't need you to worry about now. He should be an emperor by nature. But you have to protect the prince. You have to teach your descendants a lesson, and you have to protect the prince to ascend the throne!"

In fact, Xu Huizu also understood these principles. In fact, Xu Huizu, the martial arts of the Chang family, saw all the actions of Xu Huizu.

The three Chang Mao brothers are indeed of average qualifications and are not particularly good at being, but Lan Yu has many charges. Although he seems to be the confidant of the former emperor Zhu Biao, everyone knows that Lan Yu is born to belong to the team of the crown prince at that time.

Nowadays, Xu Huizu is actually born as the prince's team. If he wants to become the prince's help in the outside court, he must not shake the prince's status.

Old Zhu was scaring Xu Huizu. This time, Xu Huizu came over and said a lot of things very clearly. This actually gave Xu Huizu more motivation to let Xu Huizu go out and work hard.

When it comes to the way of governing the emperor, Lao Zhu is very familiar with it. Countless heroes can only work hard in front of Lao Zhu.

Xu Huizu will soon be of great use, and at this time it naturally means that no matter whether it is a knock or encouragement, it is time to have a good chat with Xu Huizu.

This is actually just the beginning, because Xu Huizu is just called by Lao Zhu now, which is not enough.

It is better to be kind and powerful and dominate, this is what Lao Zhu believes in the way to control the subordinates. He will naturally do the tougher things, and he also has such prestige. If he is kind, Lao Zhu thinks it is better to leave them to his precious grandson.

What exactly did Xu Huizu think? This is actually not that important thing, and Lao Zhu really doesn't care. He just needs Xu Huizu to work hard, and Xu Huizu only needs to show enough value, which is enough.

As for the others, Lao Zhu really doesn't care about them. He has never cared about the other people's thoughts.
