Zhu Yuanzhang didn't publicize this matter.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall.
The Prince of Yan and the Prince of Zhou were not in the palace, so they could not hide it for long.
Soon, more and more people were discussing this matter in the Imperial Palace.
Everyone had their own views on this matter.
Of course.
Even if the palace maids and eunuchs were discussing, they would do so behind their backs.
Since ancient times, there were many people who gossiped.
Everyone was puzzled.
Prince Zhou didn't even bother with the court. He didn't even go to court.
He spent his days in the side hall of Taihe Palace indulging in debauchery.
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
"I heard that on that day, the Imperial Academy's Grand Secretary Song and General Lan were summoned by His Majesty to assess Prince Zhou's studies and martial arts. Prince Zhou was so angry that he wrote a peerless masterpiece in one go, which even Lord Song praised.”
"This is also a strange thing."
"During the combat examination, Prince Zhou actually defeated the Duke of Wei's second son, Xu Zengshou. He heard that even Lord Lan was impressed by his showy spear skills.”
"It's just a fancy gun. However, on the battlefield, it would be a real fight.”
"What if the little prince…"
"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore. His Majesty's phoenix has arrived.”
Just as he was speaking, the Emperor's carriage arrived.
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the whispers of the palace maids.
If it was in the past, the dragon would definitely be furious and would definitely pull one or two people out to kill them to correct the unhealthy trend.
But today, Xu Da had taken in his two sons. Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling smug and didn't have the time to argue with these eunuchs and palace maids.
"Little Liu, I have a feeling that this time, the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Zhou will definitely be able to stand out in the military camp and bring glory to us.”
"When the time comes, the two Hu 'er will make contributions in the military camp and dominate the battlefield. I'll see what that old brat Xu Da has to say.”
"Haha, the greatest thing about me is that I gave birth to this group of children.”
Eunuch Xiao Liuzi hurriedly flattered him.
"Your Majesty is right. The Prince of Zhou and the Prince of Yan were princes. They were not ordinary people. They were dragons and phoenixes among men.”
……
In the residence of Great General Blue Jade.
This manor was one of the most prosperous places in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
Great General Blue Jade returned to his residence.
Madam hurriedly took the cloak from General Blue Jade.
"General, what good news do you have today?"
After being husband and wife for so many years, Madam saw that General Blue Jade was very happy.
It wasn't the kind of ordinary happiness.
Instead, he was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart.
"Furen doesn't know that Prince Zhou has joined the army.”
Madam frowned.
"General, this concubine didn't know that Prince Zhou joined the army. Is this considered a happy occasion?”
General Lan Yu knew that his wife was confused. He sat down and took a sip of tea as he explained to her.
"Furen might not know. His Highness Zhou Wang defeated the Xu family's second kid last time. That martial arts, this general can see that it's not ordinary. That set of spear techniques was definitely not an ordinary spear technique.”
"Don't look at how lazy Prince Zhou is usually, but at the critical moment, he can really work hard.”
"At that time, I was afraid that Your Majesty would blame me for not teaching properly. However, he did not expect that the little prince would amaze everyone with a single feat.”
"Think about it. With such good skills, if the little prince joins the army, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the army. At that time, I, as his master, will also be proud.”
…………
Of course, not everyone had confidence in Prince Zhou.
At the very least, those princes all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was doing this to show off.
The princes complained that the emperor had sent their princes to war and robbed them of their fame.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly letting the two princes start from the smallest pawns. In their eyes, it was just a show.
It was a show for the princes.
"Just wait. In less than two or three days, these two brats will be sent back.”
……………
Duke Wei's Mansion.
Xu Da returned to the residence from the camp.
Today was the last night in Yingtian Prefecture. From tomorrow onwards, the army would begin their northern expedition to Northern Yuan.
Before leaving, Xu Da still had something to tell his eldest daughter. He rode a fast horse and arrived at his residence.
In the distance, the guard saw his master coming and opened the door.
Xu Da entered the door and dismounted. After handing the horse over to the servant, he directly went to his daughter's boudoir.
In the boudoir on the second floor, Xu Miaoyun was embroidering when she heard footsteps from afar. She quickly found a handkerchief and covered her embroidery.
Then, he got up and went to welcome them.
"Girl, Father is back."
Before he arrived, his voice was heard.
Xu Miaoyun knew that her father had returned.
"Daughter greets father. Father is tired from the journey to Northern Yuan. Please be careful on the road.”
"Regarding Father's daily life, I have already arranged it.”
"Father's clothes and washing up have already been packed by the servants. Daddy, do you want to go and check again?"
Xu Da looked at his daughter's jade-like face and then thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's good-for-nothing son. He suddenly felt extremely emotional.
"Girl, don't worry.”
"After father leaves, you must take good care of Zeng Shou and Miao Jin. Take care of the house well and don't let father have any worries.”
Xu Miaoyun nodded and said hesitantly.
"Father, don't worry. His daughter heard that…Prince Zhou was also going to join the army.”
Xu Da instantly understood what his daughter meant.
"Girl, His Highness Prince Zhou is indeed going to join the army. However, with that kid's small physique, he probably won't be able to stay in the military camp for more than a few days.”
"If he can't stay any longer, Father will order people to send him back and let him stay in the Imperial Palace.”
Xu Miaoyun was deep in thought.
"Father, I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. If according to what you said, Prince Zhou has some martial arts on him, then this trip to the military camp might be very promising.”
This was also what Xu Da was worried about.
However, if Prince Zhou really relied on his own ability to become a marquis, he wouldn't mind marrying Xu Miaoyun to him.
"Whether it's a mule or a horse, bring it out for a walk. Girl, you don't have to worry. If he really has unparalleled talent, you won't lose your status by marrying him.”
Xu Miaoyun nodded.
" However, the battlefield is dangerous. Let's see how long these two kids can last…"
"At that time, even I, as the commander, will be unable to help. Whether they were lucky or not depended on their own abilities.”
