Chapter 838 Liu Wenxiu reads, Zhang Xianzhong is desperate

"Last year, Myanmar Province was added, and this year, Qinghai and Anxi provinces were added. The total area of ​​our territory expansion in the Ming Dynasty in recent years is probably more than that in Hongwu and Yongle."

"Who said it was not--if the Holy Emperor was not in power, how could he have such a glorious era?"

"When it comes to this, I heard that the Holy Emperor has given birth to a fairy fetus, or a dragon and a phoenix twin."

"Ah, it's true? Why didn't you hear any rumor before such a big happy event?"

"Shh, please keep your word. Since the court has not announced the world, it means that it is still confidential. You will not tell the world until the child is one year old. Maybe everyone will celebrate together."

“···”

Liu Wenxiu was wearing a regular dress and was drinking tea in a very ordinary teahouse. Listening to the discussions of these people in the teahouse, he couldn't help but stroke his elegant beard and smiled.

He is now the general of the second town of the Imperial Guard, and his title is still only a viscount, and he is the county of Xingping.

In addition, he also serves as a staff officer in the Military Affairs Council.

It can be said that the nobles and high-ranking officials in Nanjing are not very prominent. Not many ordinary people know him, so he can enjoy leisure time in this ordinary teahouse.

Li Dingguo served as military admiral in Guangxi. Ainengqi led the fourth town of the Imperial Guard to guard the northern border. He led the second town of the Imperial Guard to guard the capital, and also replaced the three people to take care of his adoptive father.

Speaking of the rebellious father Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu could not help but imagine how he would feel if his adoptive father woke up and saw the prosperous Ming Dynasty today, and compared with the devastated Ming Dynasty ten years ago.

Unfortunately, after so many years, although Zhang Xianzhong was carefully taken care of by the three of them, there was no sign of waking up, and instead he lost weight day by day.

They invited many doctors to come and couldn't tell the reason.

The doctors just said that like Zhang Xianzhong, his health will get worse day by day, and I am afraid that he will be exhausted sooner or later.

When he first learned about this diagnosis, he and Li Dingguo and Ainengqi were a little unacceptable, but after a long time, they gradually accepted it.

Liu Wenxiu now felt that perhaps Zhang Xianzhong was dead when he was trapped in the sea of ​​fire in the military camp under Chengdu City, and now he was alive with only a body.

Thinking of this, Liu Wenxiu sighed, finished the tea, and only had a bottom left after drinking the tea, and then went to check out and left.

After leaving this ordinary teahouse, Liu Wenxiu came to the same street, a book shop called "Sanwei Bookstore".

This street is relatively less prosperous in Nanjing City, and this book shop is relatively remote, so now there are only two teenagers who look like middle school students in the book shop are flipping through books.

When the shopkeeper saw Liu Wenxiu, he smiled and said hello, "Mr. Liu is here? The latest volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been out for several days and has been almost robbed. Fortunately, I left you a volume."

Obviously, Liu Wenxiu is the old customer of this store.

He has been working in Nanjing for a lot of free time and has been fascinated by martial arts novels in recent years, especially the "Tianlong Bashu" published last year. Before, he had to come and buy every time the book was released, but this time it was because of military affairs.

The affairs in the hospital were a little busy, and it took only a few days to delay.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper remembered him, and even though he didn't say hello, he left him a book.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took out a book with a very good packaging from under the counter.

Because it is a hardcover version, a volume costs ten yuan. This price is a bit expensive for ordinary people, but it is nothing to Liu Wenxiu.

He took out ten silver dollars and put them on the counter, took the book, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."

"Haha, of course I have to remember a big employer like Mr. Liu."

Although Liu Wenxiu likes to read martial arts novels, she has also bought a lot of other books.

As a general, even if he has few opportunities to lead troops to fight, he will read various military books. At the same time, in order to keep up with the changes of the times, he must also do so in every issue of the "Da Ming Pao" and "Beijing News" and other official and semi-official newspapers. Look, finally, there are some books about natural sciences.

Because Zhu Meiyu once said that an excellent general must understand certain natural scientific knowledge in order to grasp more information in war and command the army better.

Therefore, Liu Wenxiu has read a lot of books in Nanjing in recent years - his study in his home has collected more than a thousand books, most of which he has read.

Recently, he even planned to invite craftsmen to come to the mansion to build a bookstore, which is specially used to collect books.

The shopkeeper received the money, Liu Wenxiu took the book, but did not leave, but sat down at a small table to look through.

For him, reading books in a book shop is also an interesting pastime, and he can make half a day of leisure.

After reading this volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Wenxiu quickly became addicted and forgot everything around her.

He felt that this novel was really profound, and the author also studied Buddhist scriptures very deeply. He used the eight sufferings of life in Buddhist scriptures as the content, and created many characters and stories, which made people sigh and regret.

Just when Liu Wenxiu was fascinated by the sight, a middle-aged man entered the shop with sweat. When he saw Liu Wenxiu, he immediately approached and whispered: "Master, something big happened at home!"

Liu Wenxiu woke up and asked, "What big thing? What big thing?"

This middle-aged man was his personal soldier in the army back then. He retreated from the army because his right hand was disabled. Now he is in his mansion but he is a guard.

The reason why they are guards, rather than guards, is mainly because there are not many guards in their mansion, and everyone has the same identities, so naturally there is no need to distinguish between high and low.

The middle-aged man looked around and then approached Liu Wenxiu's ear and said, "The king is gone."

None?

Liu Wenxiu didn't react at first, but the next moment she realized that "dead" probably means "dead".

He grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and asked anxiously: "What the hell is going on? Wasn't I okay when I went to see it in the morning?"

The middle-aged man thought to himself: His breath is so weak, how can he be considered good?

Of course he didn't dare to say this, and said, "I don't know the specific situation. It was the news from the yard over there - I've been searching for you for half an hour."

Liu Wenxiu stopped asking more questions, immediately got up and rushed back, forgetting to take the book.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper had to put the book away, looked at the direction where Liu Wenxiu left and said thoughtfully: "What urgent matters are you coming from home? You're so panicked?"

···

Forbidden City, Hall of Son.

Zhu Mai is watching two children.

Although the children are taken care of by their own wet nurses and a few palace maids, she will still come to see them in person whenever she has time.

This is probably the nature of being a mother.

She was making the two children happy, Lian Qiao came over and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhenwu asked for a meeting and said that there is an urgent matter and needs to be reported in person."

"He's outside the hall?"

"Yes."

Zhu Mai nodded, immediately left the Jinshen Palace, and saw Li Zhenwu.

Since it is an urgent matter, of course there is a way to deal with urgent matters.

Zhu Mai asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty, news comes from below that Zhang Xianzhong is dead."

Second update.

Good night ~
