Chapter 100: Expedited delivery of the monthly pass)
After noon.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Huagai Hall.
He told Liu He: "Draw up a decree and summon Dingyuanhou Wang Bi, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, and Ying Guogong Fu Youde to return to the capital."
"I obey the decree."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his instructions, he began to think deeply.
He wants to prepare enough teams for Da Sun. The old guys who were originally prepared to eradicate them all seem to have a new place to fight.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang, without affecting the situation of the Ming Dynasty, plans to recall all these distinguished generals one by one and arrange them to be sent to Dasun.
"It would be great if you recognize our eldest grandson. If you don't recognize him, old guys, I can only feel sorry for you, but don't blame me for being cruel."
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured.
At this time, Jiang Wei was standing respectfully beside him, his eyes looking straight ahead without squinting.
It seemed that he didn't hear His Majesty's words at all.
But on the invisible back, dense cold sweat continued to break out.
Just the blue jade of Liang Guogong.
Jiang Wei has been secretly collecting Lan Yu's evidence.
But these three people, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Dynasty, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying State, are completely different.
Putting aside Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, after all, he was much inferior to the other two.
Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are brave generals who have fought in hundreds of battles.
Among them, Feng Sheng was a Confucian general who was proficient in both literature, Taoism and military strategy. He was able to mount a horse in martial arts and dismount a horse in literature. In terms of merit, he was second only to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
If he hadn't been a member of the Huaixi Military Generals, Lan Yu would have had to step aside.
Fu Youde was once a subordinate of Chen Youliang. Because Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui, he was dissatisfied and defected to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Fu Youde, who has been a farmer for generations and whose family is not very well off, is brave enough to fight and fight hard, and is very brave. Together with Chang Yuchun, he is known as one of the two tiger generals.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards and His Majesty's personal bodyguard, Jiang Gu's personal strength goes without saying.
Being in the prime of life, with sharp ears and eyes, I heard everything His Majesty muttered word for word.
He did not expect that His Majesty would even think of eradicating such meritorious generals as Feng Sheng and Fu Youde.
Thinking of this, I became more determined to follow His Highness Changsun.
After some hesitation, Jiang Wei spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, there seems to be no minister who can assist His Highness Chang Sun."
Taking the risk to say these words, Jiang Wei's purpose is very simple.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears, Jiang Yu knew too many secrets, especially those of the civil and military ministers in the court.
Nowadays, the civil servants in the court have their hearts set on Zhu Yunzhen, and he knows this very well.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly when he heard this.
Earlier, he arranged for Rujun to contact Dasun, just to get the civil servant closer to Dasun.
However, after Ru Yu returned to Beijing, she did not make any statement. Although she raised questions, she had no intention of being loyal to Da Sun.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy.
"How many civil servants are currently in the court who are interested in Yun Wen?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
A glint flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Nine times out of ten."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said nothing more.
After all, he had just appointed Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson not long ago, so it was normal for civil servants to submit to him.
Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, Jiang Wei hesitated and then asked: "Your Majesty, where is King Yan..."
Zhu Ying was brought by King Yan Zhu Di. As long as you know the details, it can be said that the thoughts of King Yan are clearly revealed.
Jiang Wei took this opportunity to give King Yan some eye drops in front of His Majesty.
Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he scolded: "This bastard, Lao Si, doesn't care about his own virtues. He thinks that he can become the emperor just by relying on some military merit."
"You're still thinking of using our eldest grandson to deceive us, huh, you little bastard, your method is a bit too naive."
"With our eldest grandson's methods, I don't think he can cause any trouble."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Wei's face. He still underestimated His Majesty's tolerance for family affection.
It seems that His Majesty is scolding King Yan, but in fact, he does not have much intention to disturb King Yan.
"How is the excavation of our eldest grandson's tomb being done now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Reporting to your majesty, the tomb of King Yu has been excavated so far. It will take only a few days to completely dig it out," Jiang Wei replied.
While saying this, he was also a little nervous.
After all, the only thing that has absolute proof of His Highness Changsun's identity is the coffin in the mausoleum.
If there really is a corpse inside, the identity of His Highness Changsun will become mysterious.
After all, the Xiaoling Mausoleum was heavily guarded, and the tomb of King Yu collapsed once again, so no one could secretly pull off the trick.
"Send the order, please speed up. We can't wait any longer."
"The eldest grandson has too many thoughts now. He always thinks about leaving the capital. Jiang Wei, you have to keep an eye on us. If our eldest grandson runs away, we will take you into account."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
As for the identity of the great grandson, the only possibility at present is related to the tomb.
Although I was extremely sure in my heart, there would never be any bones of the great grandson when the tomb was excavated.
But if the body of his great grandson really appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't know what to do.
Da Sun's external contacts have long been under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei. Although Da Sun's secret messages were not intercepted, Zhu Yuanzhang could probably guess what Da Sun was thinking.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I've arranged for people to monitor His Highness Changsun day and night. I've also arranged for people to stay at the Hubu Yamen."
"If anyone of the people brought by His Highness Changsun goes to handle the road diversion, I have already asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to delay it."
"We have also arranged for guards in royal robes to guard each city gate. His Highness Changsun will not be allowed to leave the city and leave the capital."
Jiang Wei said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang explained this matter again and again, and he himself paid more attention to it.
If His Highness Changsun runs away, let alone his future prospects, even his head will probably be chopped off by His Majesty.
"Uncle Zhang, over at Annan, let them take the official road and come directly to the capital."
After the old man left.
Zhu Ying meditated alone in the yard for a long time.
Of course, Zhu Ying had her own concerns about some of the old man's words.
The only thing he didn't expect was that his identity was so bizarre.
But even now, he still has some doubts in his heart.
After all, he was fished out of the river earlier and lived with his adoptive father for three years. His adoptive father's life was too ordinary and he definitely did not have the ability to do anything from Xiaoling.
He didn't know before that there was a person like Zhu Xiongying among Zhu Yuanzhang's grandsons.
I didn’t think much about the old man’s identity.
Now it seems that after Jin Yiwei captured his own people, he hurriedly released them.
These things seem to be extremely normal now.
Now Zhu Ying's thoughts were a little confused, because the old man's sudden appearance completely disrupted his plan.
Now it seems that Annan's side is not that important anymore.
If he could...
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying directly called Uncle Zhang over and told Annan what to do.
"Yes, boss."
Naturally, Uncle Zhang would not refute his boss's instructions. After answering, he asked with some confusion:
"Master, why don't we leave the capital?"
Zhu Ying said directly: "Things have changed, so I won't leave for the time being."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Ying gave another instruction: "Immediately send an order to the Western Regions to hurry up and send my things over quickly."
"Sweet potatoes and potatoes, ask them to prepare ten shi of seeds and send them all over."
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang first responded, and then asked with a somewhat reluctant expression: "My boss, something has happened."
The original gift of grain was one stone, but now it was suddenly changed to ten stones.
Even in the Western Region, due to strict control issues, they don't have too many grain varieties.
The most important thing is that the grain seeds that the owner requested before were high-yield grain seeds, not low-yielding ones that had been cultivated for several generations.
These grains have been effectively controlled and used strictly.
I transferred ten stones at once, which is nearly two thousand kilograms.
Over there in the Western Regions, the number of high-quality and high-yielding grains is probably only twenty or thirty kilograms.
The most important thing is that it is already June.
Facing this year's winter, these grains will have to go to the ground so that a large amount of grain can be produced when the cold weather comes.
The food produced is not only needed to maintain the personnel of the Dong family in the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands.
It is also a key factor for the owner to grow its power every winter.
If so many are mobilized at once, the pace of expansion this year will slow down significantly.
Especially because of the layout of Annan, the manpower in the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands has become somewhat insufficient.
We are just waiting for a major expansion this year to make up for the manpower gap.
As a result, the forces under the boss's command may become unstable.
It would be okay if the boss was there, but now the boss is far away from the capital. The distance is too far, and it may not be possible to stabilize the situation in time no matter what happens.
When Zhu Ying heard this, he didn't explain too much. There were some things that Uncle Zhang couldn't understand or touch.
He just said in a deep voice: "Do as I say, and there is no need to ask any more questions about the rest."
"Yes, boss."
Hearing the somewhat unkind tone of his boss, Uncle Zhang immediately did not dare to say anything more.
"By the way, don't rush for the summons yet. I'll go to the Yamen to get a pass document in two days. Then I'll take the government inn."
