Zhu Yunxi was thinking about something in the room, and he was startled when he heard a growl outside.
But after hearing the familiar voice, a smile appeared on his face, and he cursed with a smile, "What a killer!" Then, he waved to the standing guard and let him in.
After waiting for a while, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong came in with his head held high. He knelt down in front of Zhu Yunxi and said with choked sobs, Your Highness, I finally see you!
Although Li Jinglong came from a family of military generals, he was still considered a handsome and imposing man in the capital. He was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fair face. In future generations, he would be considered a proper uncle. He had a successful career and was full of nobility in every gesture he made.
But now, after months of fighting and training on the frontier, my skin has turned into a bronze color. My lips are chapped, my face and hands are sunburned, and my face is full of beards. In addition, after traveling long distances, I feel like a worker who has been exposed to the sun.
.
But if you look closely, the heroic spirit between his brows and the spirit of his whole person are even more masculine than in the capital.
The army is the best furnace. When iron goes in, steel comes out.
You're such a killer! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If you want to see an orphan, can't you just let people pass you by in a polite manner? You have to create such a big battle in front of everyone. You're a big man, and you're crying and howling outside."
How decent it is!
Sir, I really miss His Highness! Li Jinglong choked with sobs, ever since I heard that Your Highness was leaving the capital and asked me to meet you in Peiping, I have been so anxious that I wish I could fly to you right away. As he said that, he wiped away his tears.
, I invited a commander-in-chief from Duke Fu, and came galloping day and night with my bodyguard and three horses. When I was in the border army, every night when everyone was quiet, I couldn't sleep at night thinking about His Highness's holy face...
...
Although I know that the other person's words are deliberately exaggerated, but listen, why is it so damn pleasing to my ears! And look at the other person's true feelings, how come it feels so damn caring!
Zhu Yunxi rubbed his forehead and said softly, "Okay, thank you for being a general who has made great achievements in the army. He is not afraid of being laughed at when he cries!" Then he said to the guard next to him, "Give Cao Guogong a seat!"
Li Jinglong leaned over and sat down. Your Highness knew that I was a sweet-tempered person, and I would say whatever I thought and never hide it!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and then asked, when I was in Quanzhou, I read the battle report of Datong. You actually led your troops to raid the home of the Beiyuan Army and captured a little prince? He paused, how did you fight this battle?
Talk to me!
There is no other word but loyalty! Li Jinglong stood up and said sternly that running behind enemy lines was a life of narrow escape, but if they could succeed, it would be equivalent to breaking Bei Yuan's arm and cutting off their retreat.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly interrupted, "I know it was your plan, but what does it have to do with being loyal to me?"
Li Jinglong said anxiously, at that time, all the generals in the army suddenly requested orders. Your Highness knows what I am like. Although I am somewhat brave, I never like to do things that are too dangerous and difficult. But when I think of His Highness sending me to the army,
With ardent hopes and good intentions, I was so excited that I could not help myself and issued a military order in the army!
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, don't say it, it really makes sense!
I led the elite cavalry around Ulanqab. I was bitten by mosquitoes and exposed to the scorching sun. Before I saw the enemy, 80% of my strength was lost. I marched on the grassland every day, like a lonely ghost. For a few days, I
After drinking unclean water, people feel exhausted and can no longer stand it!
As he said that, Li Jinglong rubbed his eyes again and continued, "I couldn't hold on many times and regretted boasting in the army. But when I think of Your Highness, who is looking forward to the good news in the border area, I think of His Highness' deep feelings towards me."
Well, thinking of His Highness's attentive smile, I don't feel bitter or tired. Even if I die, I will fight this battle well.
I am His Highness's personal minister, and if I do well, His Highness will have glory in his face. It is a small thing to disgrace a minister, but it is a big thing if His Highness is not to be glorified.
Thanks to the protection of the emperor, and thanks to His Highness's great blessing, I found the Yuan army camp in Ulanqab. All the soldiers came up and down, and their horses trampled the camp.
I am a useless person, but the reason why I have achieved such great achievements is entirely because I am inspired by His Highness and I have a sincere heart.
Everyone likes to hear good words, even if they know that the other person is deliberately saying good things to please, but when they hear it, it is just two words, "good news"!
What does your victory in the battle have to do with Gu? It's because you were lucky, and it was those three thousand elite cavalry who sacrificed their lives! Although he was elated by being deceived by the opponent, Zhu Yunxi still kept a clear mind in his heart and said, "However, this battle of yours is still too much."
It's a bit risky, if a lone army goes deep and is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out!
Fighting in a war is a matter of near-death. I come from a noble family and am the son of a general in the Ming Dynasty. I cannot think of defeat before victory. Why should I be afraid of a corpse wrapped in horse leather? I can only repay the king's heart with blood!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help it, kicked him in vain, laughed and scolded him, saying that you were fat and you were breathless!
Your Highness! Li Jinglong smiled and said, I heard that you are going to conquer Goryeo in person, and the brothers in the army went crazy. Everyone said that being able to fight with Your Highness is a blessing earned over many lifetimes. I am not talented, but I am willing to be the vanguard of the army and serve Your Highness.
Charge into battle!
You? Zhu Yunxi smiled.
The last military success did not mean anything. Even if Li Jinglong had some talents, Zhu Yunxi did not intend to put him in an important position. The two countries were at war, with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, and the whole game was lost with one careless move.
You should be by Gu's side, be the commander of Gu's Central Army, and protect Gu's Central Army! Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel comfortable letting outsiders do it to protect the Central Army. You, Lao Li, take up this burden!"
Li Jinglong is overjoyed and obeys the order!
Charge into battle? Only go if you are crazy. Half of your life was lost in that encounter on the grassland. In this expedition to Goryeo, the closer to His Highness the better. As the saying goes, the moon comes first when you are near the water.
At this time, Fu Rang came to report from outside.
Your Highness, King Yan has arrived with his family, King Qiantui of Liao has also arrived, and the banquet has been prepared!
Well! Zhu Yunxi hummed, and when he stood up, he looked at Li Jinglong. He was having a family dinner with the two kings of Yan and Liao. You are not considered an outsider, come together!
Li Jinglong was immediately overjoyed. He opened the door first and said with a smile, Your Highness, please slow down and watch your steps!
In the side hall, a banquet has been set up. It is said that the family is having a simple meal, but it is still a separate meal system, and dignity cannot be violated.
Zhu Yunxi came in with Li Jinglong, and Zhu Di, Zhu Zhi and others quickly bowed and saluted.
I am waiting to see His Highness the Grand Sun!
It's already a family banquet, so why bother with so many gifts! Zhu Yunxi smiled and helped Zhu Di's wife, Mrs. Xu, up with his own hands. "Four Aunt, you are always so kind!"
Xu is the eldest daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. She has been a beauty since she was a child. At that time, many military generals and their families were looking forward to marrying her. Later, Empress Ma made the decision and married her to Zhu Di. Although she is now in her thirties, she is the mother of several children.
, but still bright and charming, with a dignified temperament in every gesture.
Thanks to Your Highness Hongfu, I am always in good health! Mrs. Xu said with a slight smile.
Xu Huizu will also come with the army in a few days, and then your family can reunite for a while! Zhu Yunxi smiled, looked away from his aunt's face, and looked at Zhu Di's sons.
Zhu Di's three sons are all here, and they are still the same as before. The eldest son is as fat as a Maitreya Buddha, the second son and the third son have sinister eyebrows and small eyes.
Why have you gained weight again? Zhu Yunxi smiled and patted Zhu Gaochi on his chin. The fat trembled.
The latter grinned awkwardly, and I didn’t know what was going on. Even drinking cold water made me fat!
Zhu Yunxi smiled, then nodded to the second and third sons of Zhu Di's family, and sat directly on the main seat.
The two boys were stunned for a moment, and their expressions looked a little resentful. In the eyes of the emotional grandson, only the eldest son of his family was the only one, not the two brothers at all.
I heard that you did well in your studies! After sitting down, Zhu Yunxi said to Zhu Gaochi that the emperor's grandpa also praised you in Beijing. He said that you are a rare and kind-hearted, kind-hearted and eager to learn good grandson of the emperor!
Hearing what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Di and his family hurriedly leaned over to listen and thanked him. Now the faces of the second and third children became even worse, full of dissatisfaction.
Sit down, we are all family members, no need to be polite! Zhu Yunxi smiled again.
At this time, Li Jinglong bowed to Zhu Di and Zhu Zhi, and asked him to meet the King of Yan. The King of Liao is a thousand years old!
For a family dinner, just perform family etiquette! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile from the main seat.
Li Jinglong immediately changed his mind. His nephew had seen his fourth uncle, fourteenth uncle, and fourth aunt! After speaking, he really followed the etiquette of a junior and kowtowed to several people.
Zhu Di's face twitched a few times, and he cursed in his heart, "You really know how to crawl along the pole!"
The king of Liao, Zhu Zhi, was full of curiosity and said with a joking smile, "Come, nephew of the Li family, sit next to me and tell me about your meritorious service in Datong?"
Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Yunxi first. After the other party nodded, he sat down at the head of King Liao and said with a smile, Uncle Fourteen also knew that his nephew had made meritorious deeds?
In the battle of Datong, you marched hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, killed the Taiwei of Beiyuan, and captured the little prince of Beiyuan. Who in the world knows this? King Zhu Zhi of Liao laughed and said, after all, he is a close relative of our Zhu family. What a trick!
Li Jinglong said sternly, the fourteenth uncle was ridiculous. My nephew is just serving the country with loyalty and dare not betray the grace of His Majesty and His Highness the Grand Sun. It is our duty as soldiers to kill the enemy for the country! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.
At that time, I thought that even if I risked my life, I could not lose the people of the Ming Dynasty! My nephew thought that he was a little inferior in military strategy. But his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, to His Majesty and His Highness the Grand Sun, can be demonstrated every day.
Damn it, you are so fucking capable, who doesn’t know you? When I was a kid, I could beat you to tears and beat you with one hand! Zhu Di really couldn’t stand listening, so he secretly gritted his teeth.
