"Then what should we do?" Lan Yu asked.
It was only at this moment that Lan Yu realized how childish her previous actions were. She thought that she had destroyed Yuan Ting and eliminated the threat at the northern border.
He could rest easy.
Now, it seemed that Geng Bingwen was in the army, but he didn't remind him. This was to let the Emperor kill him, Lan Yu.
Gently patting Lan Yu's hand, Zhu Xiong Ying seemed to be coaxing a child as he smiled and said,""I'll handle this matter for you. Don't worry."
"When you return to Ying Tian, don't ask anything and don't meet anyone. Remember, you have to learn how the Prince of Zhongshan, Xu Da, deals with things.”
"Forming cliques for personal gain is a dead end. Now that you've achieved success and fame, it's time for you to retreat bravely and protect yourself.”
"After returning to the capital, no matter how Imperial Grandfather rewards you, you just have to take it and then stay in the residence in peace. Three years, five years, when the Imperial Court has war, they will naturally use you.”
"If there is no war in the Imperial Court, Granduncle will watch more and talk less. He will not make enemies with others, nor will he be greedy or arrogant.”
"When father ascends the throne in the future, things will naturally get better.”
Zhu Xiong Ying wanted to think of a way to stabilize Lan Yu. As long as Lan Yu didn't go overboard, and he could control Lan Yu, this fierce tiger, he would be able to do it.
If Zhu Biao still had to die, Zhu Xiongying could still protect Lan Yu in front of the old man and even think of an excuse. Fourth Uncle's power is great, and there is no one in the court.
If Lan Yu was alive, she would be Zhu Di's nightmare.
"Then what about tonight's matter?"”
"When we enter the pass tomorrow morning, I will personally tell the general that I, the imperial grandson, should still have some face. If it really doesn't work, I can only use my father to suppress others.”
Zhu Xiong Ying sighed. Zhu Biao had military power. If even Zhu Biao couldn't suppress the general of Xifeng Pass, then who else in the world could?
It was inevitable that this matter would reach Old Zhu's ears. He could not stop it or even hide it. However, as long as the Xifeng Pass Guard General insisted that it was a misunderstanding.
Then Old Zhu could just take it as a misunderstanding.
And if Lan Yu broke Xifeng Pass today, then it would be falling out with all pretense of cordiality, with no room for negotiation at all.
"I'll keep a low profile and wait for the right time. If I can become the Crown Prince after Father ascends to the throne, I'll definitely have a chance to make great contributions in the future.”
Zhu Xiongying's voice had just faded.
Lan Yu grabbed Zhu Xiong Ying's wrist and said excitedly,""Is what you said true?"
"Granduncle will wait for good news!"
Zhu Xiongying smiled and got up to leave.
The world was so big, and the nine provinces of China could no longer have a vassal king. However, the nine provinces were such a big place, and there was no king. Who meant that outside the nine provinces, there could not be a vassal state established by the Great Ming King?
Old Zhu thought that the meat would rot in the pot, and the Nine Provinces would still be surnamed Zhu. However, Zhu Xiongying thought differently. The meat would still rot in the pot, and the Nine Provinces could only be surnamed Zhu.
As long as he was ruled by the Han people and accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty, that was enough.
In this ancient empire where communication was basically based on shouting, the best and safest way to establish a base was to confer the title of king overseas.
......
The next morning.
The army successfully entered the pass, and the army entered the pass to station. Zhu Xiong Ying led Lan Yu to the garrison office at Xifeng Pass.
"Guard Chen!" Zhu Xiong Ying cupped his hands. He was only a thousand households now, even though the number of people under him far exceeded that of a thousand households.
However, there had to be an organizational system.
"Your Highness, please come in!" Chen Guangqing cupped his hands and smiled.”
The three of them entered the yamen at the same time. Chen Guangqing knew that they would definitely let the Northern Expedition Army enter the pass today, so he prepared wine and food early.
Zhu Xiong Ying was still the grandson of the Emperor, so he sat on the main seat. As for the Great General Lan Yu, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and his power was overwhelming. Naturally, a small arm could not compare to him.
The three of them took their seats.
Zhu Xiong Ying said," All these years, Lord Chen has been guarding the border for the imperial court. In this bitter and cold land, you have made great contributions. Xiong Ying, on behalf of my father, shall toast to Lord Chen!"”
Although Zhu Xiongying was only thirteen years old, he was already 1.6 meters tall, and he was still growing. More importantly, in this era, fourteen or fifteen years old could be a father or mother.
According to the rules of the Imperial Court, Zhu Xiongying would have to choose a consort in two years, and then get married when he was seventeen.
"How dare I let the imperial grandson toast?”Chen Guangqing bowed and smiled.
Zhu Xiong Ying said,"Last night, Lord Chen, you were just trying to prove that the defense of Xifeng Pass is as solid as a rock!"”
"Did anyone commit fraud? Last night, Lord Chen impartially enforced the law and abided by the court's system. After Xiong Ying returns to the capital, he will definitely put in a good word for Lord Chen in front of Father.”
"There aren't many officials like Lord Chen who act impartially and abide by the laws of the imperial court!”
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and directly brought up Zhu Biao. As the Crown Prince who had been in charge of the country for more than ten years, Zhu Biao had military power and political power in his hands. The Eastern Palace's weight could be said to be extremely heavy at the moment.
As long as Zhu Biao felt that he could decide on this matter, he could do so. He didn't need to go through Old Zhu's hands at all.
The Crown Prince's power had reached Zhu Biao's level.
In this world, who didn't want to enter the Eastern Palace and become an official of the Crown Prince's Residence?
