There was not a single bodyguard around Zhu Yunxi, only an eunuch who lowered his head and followed him.
Lan Yu knew that the emperor's grandson came to see him specially.
Sir, everything is fine! Lan Yu stood up and saluted. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!
I see you have lost weight! Zhu Yunxi smiled, sat across from him, and looked at Lan Yu's face carefully, but he also lost weight!
Lan Yu also laughed and said, "I work in the fields every day, and the wind and sun are shining on me!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, I heard that you are now also a good at growing crops!
Although he no longer has to be watched by the local officials, the Jin Yiwei will still report the situation of Lan Yu without hesitation. The report said that at the beginning Lan Yu knew nothing about farming, but now he is like an old farmer who has been farming all his life.
If he hadn't surrendered to the army, I would have been a peasant... a common man! Lan Yu smiled, but His Highness has become more and more heroic since he conquered Goryeo!
You also have meritorious service in conquering Korea, but for the time being, you can only remember it in Gu's heart! Zhu Yunxi said, look over at the mourning hall. I am very happy that you can calm down, but don't let those trivial matters wear down the general's ability.
Gone!
Lan Yu glanced at Zhu Yunxi gratefully and said in a low voice, the common people can now see clearly whether credit is due or not. As she said that, her eyes burst out with some excitement, just looking forward to the day when she can lead a horse for His Highness again!
Such a chance is actually very slim.
The old man is getting older, and Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the emperor, as the heir to the Ming Empire, will no longer personally lead military expeditions like before.
Over at the mourning hall, because of the imperial edict, the standards were immediately raised to a higher level. People from the Wang family and officials from the Ministry of Rites were all busy. All kinds of funerary objects that the old man had rewarded were also put into the coffin.
How old were you when you joined the army? Zhu Yunxi looked over there and asked.
Lan Yu thought about it, Thirteen! As she said that, she smiled again. At that time, she was following her brother-in-law to rob Hezhou!
King of the mountain! Zhu Yunxi smiled.
That is to say, in order to make a living, robbery is the most difficult job in troubled times. The people have nothing. When they encounter thieves who want to rob them, they dare to risk their lives to fight. My brother-in-law has more than a hundred people, but they are just
Hungry and full!
As he spoke, he seemed to have started talking and continued, "Later, my brother-in-law heard that the Haozhou Red Scarf Army was going to attack Hezhou. The general was Marshal Guo's son-in-law. He was a good man who was generous and loyal, so he took us there!"
After the words fell, the monks and Taoists in the mourning hall began to perform rituals. Paper money was flying in the sky, and various musical instruments and magical instruments were intertwined.
I heard that the old man didn’t want to see you at that time! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Brother-in-law, he has killed too many people and has a bad reputation! Lan Yu also looked over there and said with a smile, The Emperor said, keeping you bandits in the army will be a disaster sooner or later! Moreover, you bandits are not moral, what?
You've done all kinds of bad things. You're just coming to me today just for food. If you're full tomorrow, you're going to kick ass!
Zhu Yunxi listened with great interest. What happened next?
Later, the brother-in-law knelt down to the emperor! Lan Yu said calmly, saying that the reason why Chang Yuchun robbed him was because he did not meet the Ming Lord. In troubled times, good men have to gain a good background, and no one wants to
He will be stabbed in the back all his life. If the commander does not give up, Chang will still have these hundred and ten brothers who will fight against him. If he has second thoughts, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
In fact, you all have to thank Grandpa Huang. Zhu Yunxi turned around and said seriously, there are many men in the world who can kill people, but not everyone has the chance to become a famous general. Not everyone can meet the Ming Lord!
Lan Yu's smiling face froze and she remained silent.
After a long time, his face became tangled, and then he said with a bit of helplessness, Your Highness, if someone had told this to the common people earlier, perhaps this day would not have happened!
As he said that, he looked towards the mourning hall. If someone had told those dead brothers earlier, maybe they would not have been ruined when they should have enjoyed their glory and wealth!
If I had told you earlier, you might not have figured it out at that time. People are only hindsight, and if you don’t experience some things, you can’t understand them at all, and you can’t think them through! Zhu Yunxi crossed his legs and clasped his hands together. Grandpa Huang hated it, too.
Right here. He hates that some people sometimes forget their duty as ministers!
You just said that Grandpa Huang looked down on Grandpa’s bandits at first! That’s because Grandpa Huang was determined to take the world as his own responsibility from the beginning of the army. What he wanted to do was not to lead people to roam around and rob, but to become a bandit.
An outstanding person of a generation.
Look at Chen Youliang, who killed his master and proclaimed himself emperor, with 800,000 elite soldiers under his command. But just because he was a bandit at heart, he couldn't wear the dragon robe, and he ended up being a laughing stock for all eternity!
Think about it, if you had followed Chen Youliang instead of Grandpa Huang, how would you have achieved what you have achieved today?
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi sighed, "You have all forgotten. It was you who begged to follow Grandpa Huang, not Grandpa Huang who begged you. You have contributed a lot to conquer the world. But fundamentally speaking, you
All the credit is based on Grandpa Huang’s trust in you!
There is no shortage of heroes in China. There may not be you Lan Yu, but Liu Yu and Zhang Yu. But there is only one wise master like Grandpa Huang!
In this world, thousand-mile horses often exist, but bole does not always exist!
Grandpa understands this truth, so he would rather kneel down for the old man than follow him!
His words and every word were like knives piercing into Lan Yu's heart. Ask yourself, the reason why you have been so proud of yourself and so unruly and indulgent in these years is because you have forgotten this truth.
These people were born poor. They couldn't even write a name properly, but they just had brute strength. There are many such people in troubled times. There are even people who are more tolerant than them. But in the end, those people can't even name it in troubled times.
None of them survived.
People, time and destiny!
Luck, favor, chance!
At this time, in Lan Yu's eyes, the hustle and bustle beside the mourning hall was completely different from just now.
There was actually a little bit of envy in my heart that had been scolding me just now.
Scenes from the past are constantly emerging in my mind.
Back then, he was just a junior officer under Chang Yuchun, and he was not outstanding at a young age. It was Chang Yuchun who kept praising himself in front of the emperor, and the emperor gave him a chance to stand out.
During the difficult years, he had unknowingly taken shortcuts. Later, he fought in the north and south, and the emperor was generous with rewards for every meritorious service. After the veteran generals of the country grew old, he became the backbone of the Ming Dynasty army.
These years of glory, wealth, title, and power made him sometimes forget where he got these things from.
Without his blue jade, Ming Dynasty would still be Ming Dynasty!
But without the emperor, he, whether it was Sapphire or Chang Yuchun, would have had no way to go back then!
If Wang Bi hadn't asked you to come to express his condolences before his death, I wouldn't have said these words to you so early! Zhu Yunxi continued to say lightly, originally, these words would have to be suppressed for a few more years. Of course, if you could figure it out earlier,
Then there is no need to say it forever!
Lan Yu hesitated and said, "The common people, I want to ask for a favor from His Highness!"
you say!
The common people wanted to give the emperor a discount! Lan Yu whispered.
It depends on the situation! Zhu Yunxi, think about it, you should also know the old man’s temper!
Be gentle, okay!
Although it's a little late, it's better than not accepting it! If the old man hadn't been ill and his health was getting worse day by day, Zhu Yunxi would really not be willing to say these words.
Common people, thank you for your great kindness!
Don't sound like a commoner. It's awkward. You are a blood relative of Gu and a meritorious general of the Ming Dynasty, so why are you a commoner? Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, you think about these and live a down-to-earth life. In the future, you may not be able to surpass your current achievements!
The Ming Dynasty now sees that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but outside there is the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is disabled but not dead, and is eyeing the Central Plains. Those barbarians are unwilling to settle down. Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to live a good life, he will not allow it! From now on, you will be used.
There are many places!
Minister, if you are brave, please give me a favor from Your Highness! Lan Yu Surong said.
If one day, please allow your highness to allow me to die on the battlefield! Lan Yu looked into Zhu Yunxi’s eyes. Firstly, I want to repay the kindness of my country. When I said this, I pointed to the mourning hall over there. Secondly, I want to repay my kindness.
