9. Bringing 3,000 elites to the north to fight?
Under Li Shan Chang's persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da each insisted on their own story.
They all turned their heads to the side, not looking at each other.
At their age, protecting their children was already a common thing.
After all, when one got old, one's thoughts would mostly be placed on the next generation.
Not everyone was like Zhu Yuanzhang, who had an entire country to take care of.
If their son was more promising, these old fellows would be happier than the other.
However, if one's own child was slandered, it was common for the older generation to stand up for them.
The three of them were still frozen when hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
The Commander of the Royal Guards, Jiang Wei, hurried into the hall and knelt down."Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked behind Jiang Meng and saw that there was no one there. He frowned and asked,""Where's Xiang Wang?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, Prince Xiang is not in the residence!”
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and his face gradually darkened." Where did he go?”
"According to the steward of Prince Xiang's mansion, Prince Xiang didn't come back after he left last night." Jiang Meng held his breath and said carefully.”
When Xu Da, who was standing at the side, heard this news, he also became anxious and asked,"Where's my daughter?"
Being asked this question by Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, Jiang Meng couldn't react for a moment.
"My third daughter, Xu Miaojin!" Xu Da continued to explain.”
"I didn't notice…"
Jiang Meng kept his head down." But I don't think he's in the Xiang Mansion."”
When he heard this, Xu Da turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some resentment in his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at Xu Da, he just stared at Jiang Meng and ordered,""Investigate immediately! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the Xiang King!”
"We can't do that. Nanjing City is only so big. With 3,000 troops, how can we just disappear into thin air?”
"This subordinate accepts the order!"
······
After leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Great General Xu Da did not stay idle for even a moment. He immediately got on his horse.
He headed straight for the Xiang King Residence!
After arriving at the Xiang King Manor, Xu Da did not get the result he wanted.
The butler replied," Third Miss Xu has never been to the Xiang Prince's Mansion.”
Xu Da almost flipped out on the spot!
God never fucking came? My daughter has been abducted by Zhu Bai, that brat, and she hasn't come yet!
Xu Da did not give up. He went in and searched inside and out to confirm that the butler was not lying.
Only then did he ride away alone.
After leaving the Xiang Wang Residence, Xu Da first returned to his own residence. He gathered all the people in the residence and ordered them to go out and look for Third Miss.
Even if they had to dig three feet into Nanjing, they must find Third Miss!
After dismissing the servants, Xu Da immediately mounted his horse and galloped in the direction of the King Yan's estate.
In the main hall of the King Yan's residence.
The Yan Princess Consort, Xu Miaoyun, was enthusiastically serving tea for Xu Da. The King of Yan, Zhu Di, and his father-in-law sat side by side.
"Father-in-law, why are you so free to come to my son-in-law's place to drink tea?”
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, smiled and pushed the fruit platter on the table towards his father-in-law, Xu Da." Let's have dinner at my son-in-law's place tonight. I'll get Miao Yun to cook a few dishes personally."”
"Dinner?"
Xu Da pursed his lips, and his expression remained stiff." Your younger brother and sister-in-law are missing, and you still have the mood to eat?”
"What?"
The smile on Zhu Di's face gradually froze." Father-in-law, are you talking about Twelfth Brother?”
Xu Miaoyun passed a cup of warm tea to Xu Da and said worriedly,""Father, what's going on? What happened to Miao Jin and Xiang Wang?"
Xu Da took the teacup, but he was not in the mood to drink it. He just placed it on the table." Your good brother has kidnapped my daughter!”
" Father-in-law must have misunderstood. Twelfth Brother and Miao Jin are childhood sweethearts. How can they be kidnapped…"
Zhu Di's face was filled with embarrassment." Maybe the two of them went out…"
Before Zhu Di could finish speaking, Xu Da raised his hand and interrupted Zhu Di." Forget it. I just argued with your father for two hours. I can't be bothered to argue with you anymore."”
"Right now, immediately gather the people in the residence to quickly look for Miao Jin. At the same time, look for your good-for-nothing younger brother!”
Although his best brother was said to be useless, Zhu Di was filled with displeasure.
However, facing Xu Da, Zhu Di did not dare to show any temper.
After all, he was her father-in-law, and he was half a father to her.
While Xu Miaoyun was taking care of Xu Da, Zhu Di immediately gathered all the men in the residence of King Yan in the backyard.
He ordered everyone to find Prince Xiang and Third Miss Xu no matter what.
then
Zhu Di returned to the hall and learned the whole story from his father-in-law, Xu Da.
Zhu Di, who knew what had happened, was even more nervous.
Zhu Di didn't understand others, but he knew his twelfth brother very well.
He really had the personality of doing things his own way. As long as he wanted to, he would dare to bring these 3,000 imperial guards north to fight the Mongolians.
Zhu Di remembered that Zhu Bai had once told him that he had a way to completely eliminate the remnants of Yuan Meng within five years.
At that time, Zhu Di didn't take it to heart. Now that he thought about it carefully, he felt a little scared.
After pacifying his father-in-law Xu Da, Zhu Di immediately went into the palace!
He had to plead for his twelfth brother before he caused any trouble.
Otherwise, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, even if it was his own son, as long as he caused trouble, he would be skinned alive.
Zhu Di, who was rebellious by nature, had experienced the Zhu family's family law a long time ago.
Zhu Di rode on a fast horse after leaving the residence of King Yan.
He headed straight for the Imperial Palace!
Forbidden City
Inside the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Empress Ma was sitting on the phoenix couch and sewing Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe.
Seeing Zhu Di come to pay his respects, Empress Ma was also happy. She simply threw the needlework in her hand to the side.
"Di 'er, you haven't come to see mother for some time.”
Empress Ma had a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up." Come, let Mother see if you've lost weight.”
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, stepped forward and knelt in front of Empress Ma's phoenix couch.
"Mother, your son begs you, save twelfth brother!”
When he saw Empress Ma, Zhu Di immediately knelt down." If you don't save him, he'll be finished this time."”
Seeing Zhu Di like this, Empress Ma quickly stood up and helped Zhu Di up. She said with a worried expression,"Di 'er, get up and speak slowly. What happened to Bai' er?”
"What happened?"
Empress Ma often stayed in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to deal with the affairs of the harem.
When he was free, he would sew the dragon robe for Zhu Yuanzhang.
He knew very little about what had happened in the previous dynasty.
Last night, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da got drunk in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and rested in the Hall of Mental Healing.
therefore
At this moment, Empress Ma was even more confused when she saw Zhu Di's actions.
Zhu Di explained everything he knew to Empress Ma from the beginning to the end, and then told her his own speculation.
After listening to Zhu Di's story, Empress Ma, who had always been kind, frowned.
"Bai 'er, why are you causing such a scene? How can military and political affairs be trifled with?"
"Immediately send someone to the north and see if you can stop Bai 'er!”
Zhu Di was stunned and whispered,"This is just my guess…"
"Immediately! What if it was true? Then Bai 'er will be in danger!"
Old rules! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! (Kowtow!)
