In the fifth year of Hongwu,
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, ordered the northern expedition.
150,000 troops were ready to go.
However, there was an undercurrent in the court at this moment, and the officials were discussing animatedly.
The reason for all of this was that the commander of the Northern Expedition Army was not the Duke of Wei, Guanglu, Youzhu Country, or the Right Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs, Xu Da.
The rumor that Xu Da was hated by the Emperor,
It had already spread in Jinling.
At this moment, in the Duke of Wei Residence,
A young woman was chatting with the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, in the middle of the night.
"Father, you've made things difficult for His Majesty!"
"Officials of the highest position can only be conferred the title of king with a different surname if they go any higher. However, our Great Ming Dynasty will definitely not allow a living king with a different surname to exist. This is the bottom line of that person in the palace!”
"If you go, that person is worried about you. If you return victorious, this is like roasting him over a fire. With the coldness of that person in the palace, it will be forcing him to make a move on you!”
"But if you don't go, he won't be at ease with the army of the entire country. If he loses to Wang Baobao, it will affect the foundation of the country!”
The young woman's words made Xu Da deeply agree.
He looked at his daughter, Xu Miaoyun, and felt gratified.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family was very talented. Xu Da doted on this beautiful and capable daughter very much.
Every time he was drunk, he would lament that Xu Miaoyun was not born a man, or else the Xu family's business would definitely be better than before.
Xu Da understood Xu Miaoyun's analysis, but the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.
As a general, who didn't want to fight on the battlefield? He followed Taizu and his lifelong wish was to see Northern Yuan destroyed in his hands.
However, the ties in the court made him feel powerless.
At the same time, Xu Da was also worried about the safety of this 150,000 strong army. His old enemy, Wang Baobao, was not someone easy to deal with.
It's not that Xu Da is boasting, but the Ming Dynasty has opened, and famous generals are like clouds.
However, the only one who could be called a handsome talent was him, Xu Da.
His other comrades might have been able to defeat Xu Da in the battles of cities and ponds.
However, he wasn't the second person to take control of the situation and fight with Wang Baobao.
However, since that person was afraid of him, there was nothing he could do.
Xu Miaoyun saw her father's lack of interest and smiled,"
"However, I guess that His Majesty will think of another way to get Father to go out!”
"Miao Yun, is there any other way?"
"A marriage alliance with my Xu family!"
Xu Miaoyun had a well-thought-out plan as she revealed her thoughts.
"It's a tradition for the daughters of the dukes and marquises to marry the princes. If His Majesty can't bestow a title on his father, he can only use this method!”
" This, daughter, if you want to get married, isn't it you…"
Xu Da immediately recalled that he had two daughters in his residence. The youngest daughter, Xu Miaojin, was still young and was not yet at the age of marriage. Other than Xu Miaoyun, there was no other suitable candidate for marriage.
When he thought of his daughter actually getting married, Xu Da's mood inexplicably sank.
He thought of another question.
"If your guess is correct, then who is it?”
"The third, fourth, and fifth brothers of the Zhu family are about the same age as you. Only the three of them are possible.
"But, among these few, who does the emperor prefer?”
"If it's Third Brother, then it's barely possible!”
" Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, has a mischievous personality. I don't like him…"
"Miao Yun, even if your guess is true, are you willing to marry into the imperial family? If you're unwilling, Father will help you reject the marriage even if I have to offend His Majesty!”
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said,
"Father, how can we women decide our own marriage?”
"I don't want to make things difficult for Father. If Emperor Zhu really bestows a marriage, you should agree!”
"However, I have a bottom line. I can marry the King of Yan or the King of Jin!”
"But if it was Wu Wang, I would rather die than obey!”
"Wu Wang Zhu Xi, if Old Zhu dares to bestow a marriage to Zhu Xi, your father will rebel against him!”
When Xu Da heard the name Zhou Wang, he immediately jumped up.
There was no other reason. Zhu Rong's reputation was too bad.
Zhu family's unfilial son, tiger father dog son, the reputation of waste spread far and wide.
This fellow was either angering his father or on his way to angering his father.
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was a formidable figure. There were a few times when he was so angry that he smashed the royal study.
The king of Wu, Zhu Yu,
Right now, the officials in the court were secretly betting on when his father would remove him from the throne and make him the first prince to be removed from the throne.
"Mentioning this trash, it's a killjoy!"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. I wonder if he recognizes me?”
"I heard that he sneaked out of the palace again yesterday and was caught by the emperor!”
"If it wasn't for the fact that our Great Ming's emperor really doted on his son, any other dynasty's emperor would have long crippled him!”
Xu Miaoyun nodded in agreement.
Just as the father and daughter of the Xu family were discussing this piece of trash,
In the Imperial Palace of Ming Dynasty,
The slapping sounds were particularly ear-piercing in the silent night.
"The host has been punished with fifty strokes of the cane, and the strength of the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art has increased by three years!”
" The host has successfully provoked father's anger. Reward: Distilled liquor brewing formula and Moutai liquor starter..."
"Finished?"
After receiving the system notification, Wu Wang Zhu Rong woke up from his sleep.
He looked up and saw his brother, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Fifth brother, next time when you snore, be gentle!”
"You will make us lose face. Are you trying to anger Imperial Father to death?”
Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, said helplessly to his younger brother.
