Li Zhilu was walking along the winding corridor with quiet steps when she saw the urgent steward running across the street: "Miss, something big has happened!"
Her eyes as clear as a mirror lake rippled, and her beautiful face lifted slightly.
"What's the matter?"
The steward picked the important point and said: "The Marquis was defeated in Annan! Duke Cheng Guo died for his country! Miss, if you lose the battle, you will be executed. It would be better if you are loyal to the country... Bah, miss, you can see for yourself."
Duke Cheng Guo died for his country? Li Zhilu's eyes flashed slightly. If he was defeated, the imperial court would remove his title. It was really serious. After reading a few words, she said in a soft voice: "Do you have anything to say?"
"No...no, miss, why don't you go to the palace to see the concubine?" The steward was worried because the Marquis also had a sister married into the palace.
Li Zhilu's beautiful eyes frowned. In his letter, his brother did not mention anything about Cheng Guogong's loyalty. He took over the title of Commander-in-Chief of Officers and Soldiers. What was he going to do?
She retracted her divergent thoughts: "Is Zhang Shi in the house?"
"The... imperial court has sent people to arrest her. I know that the young lady doesn't want to disturb the empress. I'm afraid that this time... she really has to go to the palace to see the empress." The steward was worried and anxious.
Li Zhilu thought about it for a moment, then her Qingli Shengxian's red lips moved slightly: "Zhang Xi has also caused trouble before, and His Majesty's anger is not with Zhang Xi... It is useless to meet the concubines in Annan."
In the front hall.
Zhang Min was enjoying his lunch happily. Since he and Zhu Zhanyong earned money, all the servants in the house were rewarded with roasted chicken, and his enjoyment alone was not as good as that of others. He finally realized the joy of this sentence.
I want to sell salt!
Only by selling salt can I buy more roast chicken, and my future life seems to have a direction.
Zhang Xi calmed down and stared at the Jin Yiwei who came in dumbfounded: "What did I do again?"
"Take it away!" Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei, ordered.
Zhang Min was stunned for a moment.
…
North Korea,
In the first year of Yongle's reign, only one of the three princes was granted the title. What made all the officials sigh was that Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng, took the title of Commander-in-Chief of Officers and Soldiers.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was surprised that His Majesty did not send anyone to Annan to replace the Marquis of Xincheng. This is his trust in the Marquis of Xincheng!
But they dare not question it.
Because no one dares to say that he knows how to organize troops better than Zhu Di.
At this moment, in the small courtyard at the right gate of Chang'an,
Zhu Zhanyong discovered that the great grandfather was online during the Hongwu Dynasty.
Lao Zhu felt a little emotional. As an emperor, he felt very uncomfortable after hearing Annan's report.
1: "We were in Hongwu and Annan didn't dare not pay tribute for a year."
During this time, Lao Zhu went to check Li Zhilu's birthday and horoscope. It took a lot of effort to find out the girl's life experience, so he was not there during this time.
As soon as I came up, I heard this news.
He immediately expressed dissatisfaction with Zhu Di.
Zhu Zhanyong smiled and said: "There was civil strife in Annan. The Li family killed the king, took control of the entire Annan, and passed the throne to his son Hu Canghan. Today's Annan is the Hu family."
However, Lao Zhu cares more about his grandson, so Annan should let Lao Si have a headache.
1: "Haha, look at Yong! We checked that girl's horoscope, and it matches yours very well. Zhang Yu has made great contributions to the court. If the army is defeated, the fourth child will not kill Zhang Fu, but he will behead him. title."
Lao Zhu seemed to understand Zhu Di as always.
2: "If you go on an expedition, there's no harm in extracting the attributes below."
He seems to be saying, I'm covering you.
Zhu Zhanyong: "If you want to go to Annan, you must first pass through Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou. Everywhere is dangerous and poisonous. Duke Cheng Guo died on the march. No kidding, people will die."
1: "Zhan Yong is right, the southwest is the place of exile."
Zhu Zhanyong said: "With my status in the court... Even if I want to go, Grandpa Huang will not give me an army of 300,000 men."
I just wronged that guy Zhang Xi, but that guy is just as cunning and clever as his elder brother Zhang Fu, so I think he won't suffer any loss.
1: "Zhang Fu seizes the commander's seal without authorization because he seeks wealth and honor in danger. If he wins, he will naturally be granted the title of marquis and become prime minister. If he is defeated..."
Lao Zhu wanted Zhu Zhanyong to make preparations early, give up Zhang Fu's support, find someone else, and gain a firm foothold in the capital.
Zhu Zhanyong hummed.
As usual.
Zhu Zhanyong went to Wenlou to listen to his studies. Even his father, as long as he was not on the throne or a vassal, still had to go to study, no matter how old you were.
The prince listens to the scriptures at the banquet.
Different from what the princes learned in Dabentang and Wenlou, Jingyan lectures were taught by bachelors or Hanlin bachelors, and they were taught strategies for governing the country.
The days passed like this for more than half a month.
…
Beijing, on the official road.
A group of soldiers dressed in silver and holding halberds were resting in the woods. Zhang Fu called his followers.
"Master Marquis, we won the battle, why didn't we report the victory earlier?" The young guard was dissatisfied.
To pacify Annan, it was supposed to be reported as soon as possible, but Zhang Fu suppressed the matter abruptly.
He left some troops to guard Annan and rushed back to the capital in person without stopping.
Zhang Fu picked him up and brought him to the corner, and hummed softly: "You don't know, His Majesty is certainly happy after hearing the news of victory, but what happens after he is happy?
"Calm down and think about how to punish me. I have stolen the commander's seal. I must explain this matter to His Majesty face to face."
"If I report a good report, while your majesty is happy, bow your head and admit your mistake, your majesty will not blame me anymore..."
The guard's eyes widened, as if he had learned a vivid lesson.
"Go quickly, go quickly! Don't waste time."
The confidant ran onto the horse and rushed towards the capital like a breeze blowing over him.
Soon, we arrived at the city gate.
…
Fengtian Hall.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent call from the Marquis of Xincheng!"
Zhu Di was reviewing the memorials as usual, when the palace door was suddenly pushed open, and the eunuch came in with broken steps and shouted.
"Give it to me!"
Before the official came forward, Zhu Di had already extended his hand.
It would take at least more than a month for the news that Duke Cheng Guo died and that Marquis Xincheng took over as Commander-in-Chief from Annan to the capital, which means that two months have passed and there should be results.
"Your Majesty, how is it?"
In the main hall, Jin Zhong, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and He Jin looked eagerly.
After Zhu Di read the urgent report, he held his head high and said after a long time: "Zhang Fu, we win! I know it, I know it! Send him to the palace!"
Zhu Di made a very risky decision not to change the general and let Zhang Fu continue to lead the army, but he was also under great pressure from Zhang Fu's failure.
Trust between monarch and ministers!
Zhu Di made the right decision.
Soon, Zhang Fu, wearing scales and armor, knelt down when he saw Zhu Dina: "My lord Zhang Fu, I was ordered to conquer the southwest and achieve great victory!"
All civil and military officials in the court looked at Zhang Fu in shock.
Zhu Di felt as if a thorn had been pulled out of his heart, and asked with a smile: "How is the situation of Annan Chen family?"
"I led my troops to attack for a day, and the defender of Shenglong City surrendered!"
"It's a pity that the Hu family and his son fled to Thanh Hoa. Most of the Chen family's descendants have been killed by the Hu family. Annan still has no king."
"Waiting for His Majesty's decree to seal the gold book!"
Zhang Fu put his hand into his arms and said, "This is a great gift from the people of Annan. Please pay tribute to the imperial court!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly. Zhang Fu did this well, won the battle, and won the hearts of the people.
He closed the memorial and smiled meaningfully: "Do you know why I didn't send someone to replace you?"
"If you can't capture Shenglong, there will be no generals left in the dynasty. I know what you are capable of!"
Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "But I heard that your Majesty has imprisoned my brother?"
Zhu Di's smile disappeared and he said solemnly: "This guy is more courageous than you and your father. He dares to mess with the salt law. I am just here to discipline him for you."
He said seriously: "Zhang Fu, listen to the seal!"
