"I dare not. This is a military plane. We cannot reveal it at will. If my brother is safe, I would like to ask your highness to send someone to send the news back to the Marquis Mansion."
Li Zhilu knows how to control things appropriately.
The Emperor's Grandfather is right, this beautiful woman is suitable for marrying into a big house, and can keep the younger ones under control.
Zhu Zhanyong glanced over and said with a smile: "For the sake of the Marquis of Xincheng, I helped Miss Li."
Li Zhilu bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
Return to the palace.
When Zhu Zhanyong came to the East Palace, Annan had not yet sent back the urgent message, but he heard the shocking news that the second emperor's uncle from the Northern Expedition had returned triumphantly.
Zhu Di ordered the prince to greet the emperor on his behalf.
Outside the Meridian Gate Guangting, looking at the end of Chang'an Avenue, Zhu Gaochi sighed softly: "In a while, your second uncle will definitely give my father a look."
My father is self-aware...
"Then why did your father come again?" Zhu Zhanyong stood next to Zhu Gaochi.
"Your grandpa doesn't want to see brothers fighting. This is also an opportunity for my father to ease the relationship between your second uncle. Zhan Yong, please go back first."
Zhu Gaochi tried his best to save face as his father.
"I also want to see how high-spirited my second uncle is."
"Huh, what's there to see?"
While he was talking, armor appeared at the end of Chang'an Avenue, and soldiers gradually appeared. The ones riding in the front were Er Shu and Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, walking side by side.
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Second brother, I went to fight for my father. Thank you for your hard work."
After getting off the horse, after a pause, Zhu Gaoxu said in an indifferent tone: "The eldest brother is physically inconvenient, so I have to let the younger brother share the worries for the father. Let the eldest brother enter the palace."
Are you laughing at my father for being fat? Zhu Zhanyong didn't say anything to choke him. It was meaningless, because the King of Han was right.
"Second uncle, my father watches the government in the court and shares his worries with the emperor."
Talkative,
Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "The eldest brother came from Beiping Mansion and established himself in the capital so quickly, and it was indispensable to Zhu Zhanyong's contribution."
Thinking about his sons, Zhu Gaoxu became angry.
Entering the center of Fengtian Hall,
Zhu Gaoxi bowed and clasped his fists: "My son, Gao Xu, has been ordered to march north and come back to pay the order!"
Zhu Di looked displeased and his voice was as loud as ever: "Report, what do I think of these few words, what are the battle losses?!"
Zhu Gaoxu did it on purpose, just to report it personally. He smiled and said:
"Your Majesty led his troops out of Beiping Prefecture. It was just the beginning of winter. The army was infected with some kind of disease and their morale was worrying. Seven days after I came out, more than 10,000 Tatars came to grab food. My Majesty
Order the cavalry to meet the enemy, and let the infantry protect the food and grass..."
"There was a melee between the two armies, and it was hard to tell the winner. The son-in-law personally led the infantry and attacked from both sides, cutting the more than 10,000 troops of the Tartars into two sections. The Tartars could not attack for a while. Soon after, the offensive
After being suppressed, they began to escape one after another."
(The five thousand words of details are omitted here...
…
"Although the soldiers are tired, the opportunity is rare, so I ordered the pursuit."
"My son pursued another two miles and found a small enemy cavalry camp..."
…………
"As for the battle losses, the army killed more than 3,000 people, 2,000 were seriously injured, and 600 were slightly injured. More than 6,000 Tartars were killed, 3,000 were captured, and more than 30,000 stones of grain and grass were seized. More than 1,000 cattle, sheep, and livestock were seized.
, more than three thousand war horses..."
The more Zhu Gaoxu spoke, the more excited his voice became.
Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Gaochi stood nearby. This was Zhu Gaoxu's highlight moment, and their father and son could not say anything.
Winning a battle is nothing new to Zhu Di, but when he heard the news of victory, he would inevitably be overjoyed.
Especially he likes King Han.
Zhu Di nodded: "Well done!"
Even though he couldn't be promoted to an official position, he still wanted to give him a purple gauze robe and a white jade belt.
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and took a deep breath: "My son is loved by my father!"
Suddenly, Zhu Di looked calm and sighed deeply.
When Zhu Gaoxu went on his northern expedition, it was the beginning of winter. Now that spring is about to begin, Annan has not sent back any good news.
At this time,
At the left gate of Chang'an, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, pressed his official hat with his hand and rushed to the Fengtian Gate like a gust of wind.
The eunuch hurriedly came to greet him: "Jin Bu Tang, do you want to see me?"
"Get out of the way quickly. I want to see Your Majesty. Something big has happened to Annan!"
The eunuch's face changed slightly, but he did not dare to stop him.
Jin Zhonghuo entered the palace in a hurry, ignored Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanyong and others, and presented the urgent report in his hand.
Zhu Di frowned: "If we can't capture Shenglong City in two months, I know something will happen in Annan. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jin Zhong calmed down and said: "The Marquis of Xincheng was defeated and the Duke of Cheng Guo was on his way to retreat. He showed his loyalty!"
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at the golden beams of the main hall: "Zhu Neng, that bastard, is a few years younger than me. He always claims that thirty people can defeat ten thousand people in the Confederate army. I haven't passed away yet, but this guy has been loyal first...
…”
Jin Zhong sighed.
The atmosphere in the main hall also became solemn.
Zhu Di took a deep breath and regained his energy: "It's just Annan. You must know that when Emperor Gao was here, Annan was still subservient to the court. Now, can he still let him show off his power?"
Zhu Zhanyong expected it.
Duke Cheng Guo and Marquis Xincheng led an army of 100,000 people to the outside of Thang Long City. Hundreds of elephant soldiers rushed out of the city gate.
These behemoths seemed to have received rigorous training and were eager to fight fiercely. They could wrap up a person with their nose and easily throw them to the ground, killing or injuring them. Ordinary bows and arrows and fire guns could not hurt them at all.
Zhang Fu, your opportunity has come, become a British public servant!
"Now, who is leading the army?"
Zhu Di made a decisive decision. He was the best general of this era and knew how to turn the tide of the war.
Jin Zhong hesitated: "It's the Marquis of Xincheng..."
Zhu Gaoxu said in an indifferent voice: "He still has the nerve to command the army! Please note that at the middle level of the Yi army, Pingxihou Musheng should take over as commander in chief. The new prince of Xincheng is too courageous!"
Wang Cong, the Marquis of Wucheng, who had been holding back his words, now stood up and said, "I have something to say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the hall fell on him.
Wang Cong said: "According to the imperial decree, officials above the fourth rank are prohibited from competing with the people for profit and doing business in the salt industry. I heard that Zhang Xi, the brother of the Marquis of Xincheng,
He robbed more than 10,000 shi of food from his family and resold the salt in the capital, making a profit of 6,000 taels!"
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and was surprised: "Robbing one's own food?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. He also raised the price of salt and sold iodized snowflake salt. Many salt merchants in the capital lost their money."
Wang Cong wanted to express that neither of the two brothers were good people.
No matter who he is, anyone who breaks the law will be sent to prison. Damn it, even the Salt Law dares to be broken. Zhang Yu is not only bold, but the son he has taught is also so bold.
Zhu Di was really going crazy and said coldly: "Pass on my order to put Zhang Min in prison!"
Wang Cong turned to look at Zhu Zhanyong, he should at least say something... Aren't you the best brothers?
Zhang Shi was really unlucky. Annan was defeated, and the emperor was showing off his power. I was in a humble position, so I was just cannon fodder when I asked for mercy.
Zhu Zhanyong comforted himself.
Waiting for Zhang Fu's victory and triumph, Grandpa Huang will be embarrassed, right? This chapter has been completed!
