Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 77 Before the Northern Expedition
When Chen Yunfu and Zhu Biao rushed to Chaotian Palace, there was already a sea of ​​people inside and outside Chaotian Palace. At a glance, Chen Yunfu had already seen dozens of top martial artists of the Ming Dynasty.

The last time I saw these people was at Li Wenzhong's funeral.

"The Grand Martial Arts Field is held once a year, and the day is chosen well. In the morning, these princes will watch their sons practice rituals here, and in the afternoon there will be a martial arts competition."

Before Zhu Biao had time to introduce, Jixiang's gasping voice sounded outside the car.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Even if Ji Xiang didn't say anything, even Zhu Biao's magnificent six-dragon chariot could be seen by the big guys in Chaotian Palace from a long distance away.

"The last general, Deng Zhen, led the staff of the five-army governor's mansion to ask His Royal Highness Jin'an."

The specifications of this big martial arts arena are indeed not low, and even Shen Guogong, Deng Zhen, personally came forward to sit in it.

How did Chen Yunfu know that if it wasn't for the fact that Li Wenzhong had just died of illness, according to the specifications of the past few times, the princes in Beijing would basically show up.

Like this time, Li Jinglong, the new Cao Guogong who had just taken over the title, did not show up. He is still observing his filial piety for a hundred days and cannot go out.

"Deng Shuai quickly excuse me."

The first thing Zhu Biao did when he got out of the car was to support Deng Zhen's arms, and said very warmly: "Gu came today uninvited, I hope I didn't cause trouble to the big guy."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"His Royal Highness, please."

Zhu Biao was busy greeting the group of Wu Xun, while Chen Yunfu behind him caught sight of Lan Yu in the crowd, and the latter naturally also saw Chen Yunfu.

Everyone surrounded Zhu Biao and entered Chaotian Palace. Among the crowd, Lan Yu squeezed in front of Chen Yunfu and said hello.

"The Grand Master is also here."

"Marquis of Yongchang." Chen Yunfu responded with a smile: "I didn't expect Marquis of Yongchang to be here."

I've never heard of Sapphire having a son.

Whether it is official history or unofficial history, there is basically no record of Lan Yu's future, otherwise Lan Yu would not have adopted hundreds of sons in the army.

In the Ming Dynasty, the only relative with Lanyu was the late Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun, who was Lanyu's brother-in-law.

Of course, there is another one I have to mention, that is the prince Zhu Biao.

Chang Yuchun and Sister Lanyu's daughter is Zhu Biao's first concubine.

In other words, Zhu Biao is Lan Yu's nephew and son-in-law.

Both Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxie are Lanyu's nephews.

If it weren't for such a relationship, the blue jade in history would have to receive a box lunch before Zhu Biao died.

"I'm free, why don't you take a look here?" Lan Yu lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "Well, what did the scholar say to Lan before?"

Chen Yunfu understood what Lan Yu was referring to, and responded: "What's the hurry, Marquis Yongchang? King Qiyang has only left for a short time, and the crown prince is feeling uncomfortable right now. Asking for credit must come when the crown prince is in a good mood." Speak."

"exactly."

Lan Yu nodded hastily: "It's still the Grand Scholar who is considerate, it's me, Lao Lan, who is in a hurry."

Entering the Chaotian Palace, the viewing platform has been set up early. The square square in front of the palace is a natural school field, with dozens of archery targets, two martial arts platforms, sand pits, stone locks, and weapon racks.

However, Chen Yunfu looked left and right for a few times, but he didn't see any athlete who was gearing up, so he asked Lan Yu in confusion.

"What about people?"

"who?"

"Isn't it a big martial arts competition?"

In a martial arts competition, there must be someone to compete, no one can compete with air.

"The children went to practice rituals early in the morning. I guess they haven't learned half of this point yet. Wait a minute."

Chen Yunfu said "Oh" and was no longer in a hurry, he sat behind Zhu Biao and listened to the chat between the latter and Deng Zhen.

The advantage of being a secretary is here, being close to the leader, you can receive a lot of news, such as the military affairs that are being exchanged between the two at the moment.

Northern Expedition!

Yes, after Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated the influence of the Guo Huan case in China, he ransacked his home and confiscated countless gold, silver and grain. He couldn't think of how to use it for a while, so let's go to war.

The main reason is that Hongwu became rich, and the official warehouses at the foot of Zhili were all piled up. There was no place to store the things copied from the house.

If the treasury is empty, they can run on horseback, Guo Huan and the others are so bold to go greedy for ink, and they won't directly reveal their secrets.

Picking a few catties of gold from a gold mountain will not change.

"Your Majesty summoned Wei Guogong and Song Guogong to the palace successively yesterday. It seems that the commander of the Northern Expedition should be chosen from these two."

Deng Zhen tentatively said, "However, the general heard that Wei Guogong's health seems to be not very good recently."

Zhu Biao didn't answer directly, but said: "Well, Gu also heard about this, and I just remembered Wei Guogong, how is Han Gong's health recently?"

The Korean public is Li Shanchang. Here Zhu Biao asked Deng Zhen how Li Shanchang's health was because there was a relationship between the two.

Deng Zhen married Li Shanchang's granddaughter.

In other words, Shen Guogong of Ming Dynasty is the grandson-in-law of Han Guogong, and the two kings' lineages are as close as one family.

"Returning to Your Highness, Han Gong is doing well recently, but there is something wrong with his leg."

"Are you asking for a doctor?"

"Please look at the imperial doctor." Deng Zhen replied: "The imperial doctor said that it might be because of the freezing during the cold spring, and prescribed some prescriptions and plasters to warm the body and open the sun. During the family banquet a few days ago, the Korean public He also asked the general, "Has His Royal Highness been in good health recently?", and the general also replied, saying that everything is fine with you.

Han Gong also said, "His Royal Highness is in good health, so the country is fine. I only regret that my legs are sick and it is difficult to get off the ground. Otherwise, I must go to say hello to His Royal Highness." "

Zhu Biao was very moved when he heard this. After all, Li Shanchang had been the prince and grand teacher for seven or eight years, and he still holds this title. There is still a teacher-student relationship with Zhu Biao.

Thinking that my teacher had a leg problem recently and I didn't even know about it, I felt a lot of guilt.

"Mr. South Korea is sick, why don't you tell Gu."

Deng Zhen said that he would know his mistake at the end of the sentence, and Zhu Biao sighed.

"Do not blame you."

Who can blame this, Li Shanchang is not in good health, and Zhu Biao is not in good health either.

The two of them can be described as equal, a pair of old, weak, sick and disabled.

"When the big martial arts field is over today, I will go to see Han Gong."

Zhu Biao's words were not only for Deng Zhen, but also for Chen Yunfu who was sitting behind him.

Of course the latter understands it and keeps it in mind.

"If the Duke of Korea sees His Highness, he will be very happy. Maybe he will be so happy, his legs will be fine." Deng Zhen said obediently, but at the end he didn't forget to add in: "Then I will go with Your Highness."

"Very good."

Zhu Biao nodded, and after casually chatting with Deng Zhen for a few words, he heard the sound of a chime in the distant palace, and said with a smile: "Xiyi should be over, Shen Guogong, you can arrange for the next martial arts competition." Bar."

Naturally, Deng Zhen also saw the sons of Wu Xun coming out of the palace one after another, nodded and stood up.

"His Royal Highness, sit down for a while, and the general will go down first to make arrangements."

After saying that, he turned around and left. After Deng Zhen left, Zhu Biao leaned back, and Chen Yunfu immediately leaned forward and listened to him.

"Have you heard what Shen Guogong means?"

"Shen Guogong wants to be the marshal of this Northern Expedition?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face.

"Ruzi can be taught."
