I want to be a grandson

Chapter 282
A troop of more than [-] soldiers headed south with more than a dozen carts of goods, heading towards the capital.

I saw that although the number of soldiers and horses was not large, the lineup was very neat, and each soldier was silent, with firm expressions on their faces, all of which revealed the posture of elite soldiers and strong generals.

They have been walking all the way from north to south for many days, but they don't show any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, because they are closer to the capital, they appear more energetic.

On the flag flying in the sky, there is a big "Swallow" written impressively.

Sitting in the carriage, the corner of Yan Wang Zhu Di's eyebrows was always slightly sad.

Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun saw that her husband was worried, so she tried to ask: "Your Highness, we will arrive in the capital soon, why does His Highness seem to be preoccupied, and wonder if the concubine can share His worries?"

Zhu Di forced a smile on his face and said, "It's okay, I'm just worried that if the Mongols take the opportunity to harass the border, if the Mongols take the opportunity to harass the border, they will be caught off guard, causing a crisis at the border and bringing disaster to the people..."

Xu Miaoyun said: "Your Highness, you have already made the arrangements when you set off. Even if the Mongols really want to provoke troubles, they can deal with it. Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much..."

Zhu Di, of course, would not tell him why he was sad, but just nodded and said, "You are right...Since you have made arrangements, you must trust your subordinates. In this cold weather, the Mongols will not be offended..." "

Xu Miaoyun said comfortingly: "Then you don't have to worry, Your Highness, the soldiers on the border have fought against the Mongols many times, and with His Highness's careful arrangements, nothing will happen... Your Highness, should we go to the palace first when we return to Beijing, or go to the palace first?" The palace pays homage to Father?"

"You guys go back to the palace first, I'll just pay my respects to my father, the journey is very bumpy, so it's hard for you..."

"What did your Highness say, as a concubine, it's justified for me to follow His Highness back to the capital? By the way, when is Father's birthday?"

Zhu Di replied, "Father doesn't plan to make big arrangements. He probably asked the Shangshan Supervisor to cook the meals. The family reunion should be regarded as a birthday."

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "It is estimated that how to handle it will depend on the arrangements of His Royal Highness, the Grandson, right? The concubine heard that the Grandson asked for orders, so the father allowed the princes to return to Beijing."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little annoyed, "It should be, but since it is the birthday of the father, it is natural that the father is the main one! Everything must be listened to by the father!"

Xu Miaoyun wrung her fingers and said: "Your Highness, it's Father's birthday anyway, so we only bring these few things... Isn't it a bit too shabby?"

Zhu Di waved his hand, frowned and said: "These things are all bought with my salary, I didn't exploit the people to search for their fat and people's anointing!"

"Ha ha……"

Xu Miaoyun laughed out loud, looked sideways at her husband and said, "No one said you exploited the people, why are you so angry..."

"I am not angry……"

Zhu Di shook his head, trying to dispel the irritability inside.

Xu Miaoyun exhorted and said: "Your Highness, you can't talk like this when you meet the princes in the capital. If you say that, others will think that you are pointing fingers and scolding Huai, and you will offend others!"

"I want to congratulate my father's birthday, and also celebrate the canonization ceremony of His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor. If there is no decent thing, how can I get it? How about this, I will buy some gifts when I get to the capital."

"no need!"

Zhu Di said with some annoyance: "In any case, I am his uncle's generation, and this generation cannot be messed up!

Since the father canonized him as the grandson of the emperor, it is enough for us to show our hearts, and there is no need to make a big fuss. "

"Okay, okay... It's all up to you. Since you don't want to spend money, then don't spend it, but don't let people say that we are stingy..." Xu Miaoyun had no choice but to obey her husband's wishes.

Zhu Di thought of something again, turned his head and said to his wife: "Have you prepared all the gifts for the family? You haven't been home for many years. I will send someone to your house to invite them to come and let them accompany you. You talk."

Xu Miaoyun's face immediately showed longing for her mother's family and the joy of meeting her soon, but she still said: "Forget it, you don't know what kind of temper my brother Huizu has,

He probably doesn't even know which way the gate of King Yan's Mansion opens!You still expect him to come and talk to me?I can't even think about it!I should go back..."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Your younger brother Huizu's personality is too stubborn, and the whole family should be so taboo, too much taboo will become pedantic! It's not a private friendship, what are you afraid of!"

Xu Miaoyun hastily explained: "Don't think about it too much, my brother has that kind of personality, eight horses can't get back his stubborn temper! It's not just that he treats you like this, I've been used to it since I was a child!"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I know, then I'll let someone bring a gift with you back home."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di looked out of the car window again, and saw the outline of a huge city looming in front of him, but it was too far away to see clearly.

At this time, Zhu Di's eyes were a little lonely, but more tenacity!

I'll be back in the capital soon, and I'll meet His Royal Highness soon
I don't know how my nephew, who I didn't notice before, is growing up now!
……

Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood these days.

When people get older, they like to see their children and grandchildren full of joy.

As an emperor, especially an emperor who values ​​his family more, Zhu Yuanzhang, like a kind and majestic father, received his sons one after another with joy.

Some vassal kings joined hands to ask for an audience, while others couldn't wait to go to visit alone.

Some will also bring their sons to let Zhu Yuanzhang know each other. It would be great if they could get a name!
"My son pays homage to my father! I wish my father peace!"

When he came to Jinshen Hall, Zhu Di knelt down and saluted and said.

"Get up quickly, there is no need to salute, and quickly move a chair for King Yan." Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.

"Thank you, Father!"

After Zhu Di saluted, he sat on the chair carried by the eunuch without much restraint.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How is the border defense arrangement in Beiping? The Mongols don't dare to violate the border at this time."

Zhu Di replied, "Reporting to my father, there has been heavy snowfall on the grasslands in the north. According to reports, the weather there has been bad these days. This year, the Mongols may freeze to death some cattle and sheep. They will definitely try to keep their livestock at this time."

"If we start a war, I don't know how many people and livestock will die. Moreover, I have not received any news of the Mongols' changes along the way, so please rest assured, Father, there will be nothing wrong in the north!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, we were worried that the Mongols would take the opportunity to loot the border, so we can rest assured with your words!"

He asked again: "Let me show you how the Mongolians in the north are doing now? Are there any signs of recovery?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly and replied: "Father, after many battles by the court, the Mongolian tribe has been severely damaged, and now it is divided into three parts. The Wuliangha tribe is still safe and sound, there is no major problem..."

"The relationship between the other two parts and Daming is ups and downs, and there are many frictions on the border. Some people in the Mongols love Daming and don't want to fight again, but some people are ambitious and want to go back to the south and rebuild the Yuan Dynasty. Glory..."

Zhu Di took a sneak look at his father, and continued: "Now Beiyuan controlled by Guilichi and Alutai occupies the Mongolian plateau. In addition, they have always regarded themselves as orthodox and want to annex the Oala tribe. Once they are If you succeed, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned, and said: "Yes, if the imperial court aids the Wara tribe, they are afraid that they will raise tigers and increase the strength of the enemy, but if they do not assist, they are afraid that they will really be annexed..."

"At that time, no one will be able to contain Bei Yuan. Once they are allowed to accumulate strength unscrupulously, they will definitely move south!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di talked about the Mongols for a long time.

After all, among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Yan Wang Zhu Di is the best at fighting, and he has fought the Mongols the most times, and his record is also very good.

Zhu Di is actually the most like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao is known for his benevolence, and of course he does not deny his means, but his strength is also in governing internal affairs, and he doesn't have much experience in leading troops to fight.

Some people say that because Zhu Di went to Mongolia many times in history, he gave up all the financial savings left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He also said that if his son Zhu Gaochi and grandson Zhu Zhanji hadn't created a "rule of benevolence and publicity" and gave Daming back a mouthful of blood, the Ming Dynasty would definitely have been defeated by Zhu Di.

It's like someone said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wiped out the money and food left by Wen Jingzhi's rule, and he fought militarily, making the Western Han Dynasty extremely weak.

But you must know that the threat of the Mongols is too great, and the war must be fought!

If you don't beat others, others will beat you!

And blindly forbearance, when the other party regains strength and returns to the grand occasion of the Golden Family, it will be the people of Daming who will suffer!
And if we fight again at that time, I don't know how many lives, how much money and material resources will be paid!
Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor who won the world on horseback, and Zhu Di is very similar to him in this regard.

It is no exaggeration to even use the phrase "yingguo class me"!

If Yan Wang Zhu Di is really the second child in history, then Zhu Yuanzhang is very likely to make him the prince!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sky and said, "You haven't seen Yunxi since you came back, have you?"

Zhu Di's original enthusiasm was poured cold water in an instant, "Reporting to my father, my son came to visit my father immediately after returning to the capital, and I haven't had time to go to the East Palace."

"Well." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "You go and see him, and your uncles and nephews have a good talk."

"Yes, the minister is also planning to go to the East Palace, so the minister will resign there and come to visit the emperor another day."

Zhu Di bowed respectfully and retreated, but it was like a big rock was blocked in his heart, which made people feel heavy.

But he still didn't have any expression on his face, and walked out of the hall calmly.

"Your Highness, shall we go back to the residence now?" Qiu Fu who was waiting outside the hall asked.

"Let's go, let's go to the East Palace... we can't lose our etiquette..." After saying that, he walked towards the East Palace.

As Zhu Di's subordinate and part-time guard, Qiu Fu could clearly feel his heavy heart, but he didn't say anything.

So what can I say?
