Beiping King Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Di was dressed in a military uniform. His eyes were bright as he sat on the armchair. He was like a fierce tiger that made people fear him.
He studied literature at the age of four, martial arts at the age of seven, was granted the title of King of Yan at the age of ten, followed Xu Da into battle to kill enemies at the age of fifteen, and became a vassal of Beiping at the age of twenty.
Now he had defended Peiping for more than eleven years.
From the geographical location of his vassal state, it was enough to know the bravery of Zhu Yuanzhang's son.
Beiping carried too much weight. In the Later Tang Dynasty, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun with Beiping as the center had always been an important barrier to the north of the Central Plains!
It had an extraordinary strategic significance to the Central Plains!
This city had been lost to the Han people for a very long time. From the late Tang Dynasty to the entire Song Dynasty, it had never returned until the Great Ming Dynasty. It was forcefully fought back by the men of the Great Ming Dynasty!
In the eleven years that Zhu Di had been in Peiping, he had trained countless elite troops.
Last year, the remnants of the Mengyuan army, Naier Buhua, wanted to invade Beiping, but Zhu Di led his troops to pursue them for thousands of miles. They chased the Northern Yuan troops from the Beiping border to the Russian border. No one dared to meet Zhu Di along the way!
He was the king of the Northern Borderline, the fierce tiger of the Northern Borderline, the hero that all the men of the Northern Borderline admired, the nightmare of the foreign tribes of the Northern Borderline, and the pride of all the people of the Northern Borderline!
The eyes of this man, who was the center of attention in the Northern Borderline, sparkled.
After Crown Prince Zhu Biao died, Zhu Di was restless.
"Yao shi, do you think Imperial Father will choose me?”
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with anticipation, loneliness, and unwillingness!
In this world, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Zhu Di, he was determined to recreate the golden age of the Han and Tang Dynasties. He could even surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties and push the Ming army to the north for thousands of miles. He would teach the Hu horses not to dare to cross the Yin Mountain and teach the four seas and ten thousand countries to come and congratulate him!
Yao Guangxiao didn't defend Zhu Di. He just shook his head lightly."I won't."
He didn't flatter Zhu Di just because he was the king of the northern border. He just analyzed it seriously,""Old Master said that the heir is the heir.”
"Even if the Crown Prince dies, it will not be your turn.”
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with disdain, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile."This king is unwilling. This king has sacrificed too much for Great Ming. Other than this king, no one can lift up Great Ming's empire!”
This kind of confidence was engraved in Zhu Di's words and actions. He deserved to have this kind of confidence!
"The Qin and Jin Princes are not inferior to the Fourth Master." Yao Guangxiao shook his head.”
Zhu Di snorted,"They don't deserve to compete with me."”
"When big brother was around, I didn't have any improper thoughts. Now that big brother is dead, no one can stop this king!”
Thinking of Zhu Biao, Zhu Di's eyes were filled with reminiscence. After reminiscence, there was the determination of a man!
Since this is the will of the heavens, then it's paving the way for me, Zhu Di!
Yao Guangxiao shook his head.”
"Then who will they choose?" Zhu Di asked.
Yao Guangxiao said,"Zhu Yunwen."
Zhu Di's eyes became even more contemptuous." He's just a kid. He and his mother had some little tricks up their sleeves in the Eastern Palace. He wants to sit in that position."”
"If this country is given to Zhu Yunwen, can he take it up?”
"My Great Ming is an iron-blooded dynasty, we shouldn't let cowards succeed!”
Yao Guangxiao said," Old Master has considered things more deeply. From the perspective of an emperor, only by choosing an imperial grandson can we control the various forces. Because of righteousness, because of the cardinal guides, because of the hierarchy, anyone who breaks the old master's rules will be rebelling and will not be able to obtain the right position!”
Zhu Di rubbed his forehead. There was a trace of fear in his eyes when he mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang.
He had never been afraid of anyone in his life except for his big brother, Zhu Biao.
The other was his father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
No matter how brave he was, as long as the old man was around, he would not dare to move. His ridiculous military tricks were no different from children playing house in front of the military master Zhu Yuanzhang!
If he dared to move now, the old master would have a hundred ways to make him unable to leave Beiping City!
Yao Guangxiao seemed to recall something and said to Zhu Di,""The old master has been very strange recently. He often leaves the palace to be alone with a young man.”
"Hmm? Who is it?" Zhu Di was puzzled.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head." There's still no news from the capital. I'm sending more people. It won't be long before we send over this person's identity and portrait.”
Zhu Di nodded. Yao shi, thank you for your hard work."
Yao Guangxiao put his palms together." The King of Yan treats me as before. I will repay him with all my might and help him ascend the throne!"”
……
Duke Zheng's Mansion.
Chang Mao and his two brothers heard that Zhu Huai had recruited a large group of refugees to make salt in Salt Mountain.
"Big brother, I'll bring some people over."
"That kid has taken in so many refugees. He might not be able to control them," Chang Sheng said worriedly.”
At the mention of Zhu Huai, Chang Mao's eyes revealed a hint of love."This silly nephew is as kind as our elder sister. He can't stand to see the poor suffer.”
"But he doesn't know that when things reach an extreme, they will turn against each other. If you want to subdue these refugees, you can't just rely on kindness!”
Chang Sen was a little unhappy." My nephew is only 17 this year. People who are 17 can accept refugees. You're 17 and your father is still chasing you.”
Chang Mao looked at his third brother and said angrily,"Bullshit!" That was when he was sixteen…Get lost! Don't mention this!"
The three of them were already in their forties, but they were still as outspoken as they were when they were young.
Chang Mao glared fiercely at Third Brother and said,""It's done. Transfer 50 guards to maintain order for the children.”
"Good!" Chang Sen was delighted.
"I'm going too," Chang Sheng hurriedly said."Why should I let Third Brother go and see my nephew?" I'll go too!"
Chang Mao was helpless." Fine, fine. Go. Just remember one thing. Stay away from the Jinyiwei and the old man's eyes. Don't let the old man see you."”
Although the three of them were Chang Yuchun's legitimate sons and their martial arts skills were impressive, they would not end well if the old man knew that they had gone to visit their nephew behind his back.
This was also the reason why the three brothers rarely went to the Eastern Palace.
After the Crown Prince's death, the current situation was complicated. As long as the old master did not decide on the heir apparent, they did not dare to get too close to any of the princes and grandchildren.
It was also because Zhu Huai, this eldest nephew, was among the common people that the three brothers had the opportunity to visit and care more.
……
Salt Mountain.
As the refugees gradually poured in, there were already thousands of people gathered here. The scene was chaotic. Fang Laowu could not control the situation at all. If it continued to develop, the situation would become more and more chaotic.
His Langjun was clearly doing a good deed, but if he did not control it well, he was afraid that it would incite a civil revolt and the government would punish him.
Fang Laowu was burning with anxiety.
In the distance, Zhu Huai, who was dressed in white, walked over step by step with his hands behind his back. A ruthless and cold light gradually appeared on his gentle face.
