"Jing 'er, Ming' er, go out first. Father has something to say to His Highness.”Sensing Zhu Zhi's cryptic intentions, Guo Ying, who had managed to gather some strength, waved her hand at her children.
"Yes." Zhu Zhi also nodded slightly.
Consort Liao and Guo Ming were both very smart, and now that his father was clearly fine, he bowed and left.
After the two of them left, Guo Ying slowly said,"If your highness has anything to say, you can say it directly. There are only the two of us left here now.”
"Father-in-law's battle with Liu Zhen of the Ning Imperial Residence two months ago was really beautiful!”Zhu Zhi first flattered him.
Guo Ying shook his head with a bitter smile." Your Highness, you flatter me. This battle was led by Song Sheng. It has nothing to do with me."”
In March of this year, Governor Qian Song Sheng led the guards of the Liao King's residence, Governor Liu Zhen led the guards of the Ning King's residence, and commanded Zhuang De to lead 30,000 guards north to carry out a military strike against the rebellious Haixi Wu Jurchen chieftain Xiyangha.
The Ming army advanced to the Hula River, and then divided into three roads. Song Sheng led the guards of the Liao Prince's Residence from the northwest to the river and entered the Ayangha Stronghold, attempting to surround Xiyangha. The Zhenren who received the news was scared out of her wits. She did not dare to fight and fled. In the end, they captured more than 650 men and women and more than 400 horses.
Faced with the strength of the Liaodong army in the early Ming Dynasty, the so-called " Jurchen less than ten thousand, ten thousand can not be defeated " was just a joke.
In this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the powerful combat strength displayed by the Liao King's residence. He immediately issued a decree to establish the Liao King's Guard Commander Division and expand the Liao King's guards.
In April this year, Old Zhu ordered Guo Ying to meet with the Liaodong Military Department to transfer the guards of Guangning, Yizhou, etc., and set up the left and right guards of Liao King Guangning to expand the strength of Liao King's residence. This was also a praise for Zhu Zhi.
"After this battle, will father-in-law return to the capital?”Zhu Zhi asked.
Guo Ying nodded." That's right. His Majesty has already urged me. If it weren't for this incident, this old man should be on his way back to the capital."”
This old man was not Zhu Zhi's general, but Zhu Yuanzhang's general!
His official position was the right deputy general of the Krupp Conquest, in charge of the palace's forbidden soldiers. To be able to become Old Zhu's commander of the Imperial Army showed how much trust he had and how outstanding his abilities were.
When others were impeached, Old Zhu would investigate before killing them. When Guo Ying was impeached, Old Zhu pretended to be deaf and mute, saying," What are you talking about? I can't hear you, I can't hear you."
This time, Guo Ying was able to help Zhu Zhi fight the war purely on account of her daughter. She did not expect that she would almost fall ill and could not go back.
"Father-in-law, my wang fu's commander still needs you to oversee it. You can't leave.”Zhu Zhi said in pain.
"But how should I explain this to His Majesty?" Guo Ying frowned slightly.”
"That's easy."
Zhu Zhi revealed a fox-like smile."Father-in-law's body hasn't fully recovered yet, and this king needs to personally perform acupuncture to extend his life.”
"Are you trying to make me lie to the emperor?!”
Guo Ying's expression changed drastically.
Zhu Zhi had just said that his body was fine. He only needed to take medicine every day. There was no need to continue acupuncture.
And now, these words were meant to deceive his superiors!
Was Old Zhu a good person?
If Old Zhu knew that Guo Ying dared to lie to him, the situation that the Guo family had painstakingly built would be overturned!
"Father-in-law, Liaodong and Guangning are my territories.”"My father can't see here, and neither can the Jinyiwei!" Zhu Zhi said with a smile.”
How arrogant!
The prestige of the Embroidered Uniform Guards could terrify the world, but Zhu Zhi dared to look down on them!
Even the King of Yan did not dare to say such words!
Zhu Zhi had his reasons for daring to say this. His Liaodong was different from the King of Yan's Beiping. Liaodong was a military town. At a glance, there were soldiers everywhere. The Brocade Guards had nowhere to hide. Moreover, in Guangning, even if a dragon crossed the river, it would be suppressed by him, the local tyrant!
"You, why are you doing this?"
"The Guo family is already tied to the Liao King's mansion," Guo Ying said bitterly."Whether I'm in the capital or Liaodong, what's the difference?"”
"Of course!"
Zhu Zhi immediately said,"Father-in-law is in Liaodong, so this king can sleep peacefully."”
Although he was the ruler of Liaodong on the surface, with Old Zhu's calculations, how could he be at ease to let him control the entire Liaodong?
Zhu Zhi's real territory was west of Liaodong and east of Shanhaiguan, with Guangning as the center. The eastern region of Liaodong was controlled by Liaodong commander Geng Bingwen.
The western part of Liaodong that he controlled was not completely under his control. This was an army that he and Guo Ying had jointly created.
As long as Guo Ying stayed in Liaodong, Zhu Zhi would be able to completely control the western part of Liaodong and the three guards of Guangning. He would then be able to gradually annex the eastern war zone led by Geng Bingwen.
"What do you mean?" Guo Ying was puzzled.
Zhu Zhi paused for a moment and said,"Father-in-law, do you know that my father's health is not as good as it was a few years ago?"”
Guo Ying's expression was a little awkward. He was a cautious person and was really unwilling to touch on such a taboo topic.
