Daming: From the end of Hongwu

306 Chapter 304 - Fang Xiaoru's Divorce Scheme

Time flies, and it is the end of November in a blink of an eye. I don't know whether it is because the court is busy with the matter of King Yan, dizzy, or because the soldier has no way to tell the truth. Anyway, after Zhang Pu and Zhao Guang rescued the family, The news of Zhang Pu's private release of Zhen Wu was completely exposed.

It's just that when the imperial court's decree of arrest came down, Zhang Pu and Zhao Guang had to hide in a mountain with the people because of the burden of women and children, and because they were surrounded by the imperial court, they couldn't easily get out of trouble.

Looking at Zhang Pu who was also at a loss, Zhao Guang suggested several times that Zhang Pu ask Mei Yin for help, but Zhang Pu didn't know what kind of psychology he had, so he didn't agree to Zhao Guang's proposal for a long time.

It may be that Zhang Pu's dignity is at work when facing the deceased daughter-in-law's natal family, or it may be that Zhang Pu feels that the most critical moment has not yet arrived.

In short, they began to struggle hard in the mountains.

Although there is no fear of life for a while, the suffering is that everyone suffers unspeakably.

At this moment, Jinan City was covered with a layer of silver frost by the white snow.

After Zhen Wu recuperated for a period of time, although his injury was still not fully healed, he was able to get out of bed and walk, but I don't know if it was because of the injury to his lungs, but this winter, Zhen Wu felt colder than any other winter.

This is only Jinan, not Beiping. He still put on the sable fur earlier than before, even holding the stove in his hand from time to time.

On this day, Zhen Wu was standing on the porch watching the snow, when Zhu Di, who was in a hurry, came to him.

Seeing Zhen Wu standing outside the house from a distance, Zhu Di frowned and said, "How can you stand outside the door if you haven't taken care of yourself yet? What about that Cao Xiaoman next to you, doesn't he know that it's windy and cold outside? Follow you?"

Zhen Wu smiled and led Zhu Di to walk into the house, and said: "I've been bored in the house for the past few days, and it's hard to get some air, so don't talk about me, Your Highness."

"If you want to breathe, just open the windows a little bit, and you can't run outside anyway."

Zhu Di said dissatisfiedly: "You don't know how good your body was before? If you don't take care of it thoroughly, you will fall to the root of the disease, and you still want to hold the stove in the winter?"

Zhen Wu really didn't want to do this.

Looking sickly, he felt terrified just thinking about it.

Therefore, he no longer refuted Zhu Di, and nodded honestly in agreement with Zhu Di. Seeing this, Zhu Di stopped talking about him.

After the two entered the room and took their seats, Zhen Wu asked Zhu Di: "Your Highness is here this time, do you have something for me?"

"Things? You're thinking about farts. Don't expect to do anything until the beginning of spring. Take good care of me." Zhu Di rolled his eyes at Zhen Wu, and then continued: "I came to you just to avoid A few troublesome people."

"Troublesome person?" Zhen Wu was puzzled.

Zhu Di explained: "We occupied Jinan, Yang Wen and the others came out of Liaodong and surrendered us. This frightened the imperial court, and hurriedly sent several envoys to discuss peace, so that we can return to Beiping."

Zhen Wu laughed and said: "It's just delaying time, His Highness can find a reason and reject them directly."

Zhu Di gave a wicked smile, and said to Zhen Wu without concealing his true intentions: "We have fought repeatedly, and we didn't plan to go south to use troops a year ago, so we didn't want to see if we could get some benefits from them. Well, idleness is idleness anyway."

"Then why did His Highness avoid them? Want to hang out?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly angrily: "When I talk about this, I get angry. You don't know that these people come here to negotiate a peace, and they always talk to me, and that's all. Bend, so that I don't even know if I'm secretly mocking Lao Tzu."

When Zhen Wu heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He had seen some people who bit Wen Jue's words over the years, and breaking things with them, ordinary people really can't break things up. The best way to meet such people It's just playing a rogue, or just do it directly.

Only in this way can we guarantee that that kind of person loses his temper.

This method is also tried and tested.

While Zhen Wu was chatting with Zhu Di, Fan Guanghua came in suddenly, and he knelt down on one knee to report to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, there is news from Qiu Song that after Ping An broke Qiu Song, he broke out. , disappeared."

Zhen Wu and Zhu Di's expressions darkened for a moment.

The room fell silent.

a long time.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Forget it, order Qiu Song, let them come back."

"No more?" Fan Guanghua asked in surprise.

Zhu Di said in a bad mood: "The soldiers are tired, and the New Year is approaching, so what's the point of fighting?" After finishing speaking, Zhu Di sighed: "It's a pity that such a good time, speaking of it, this Ping'an Shuzi is really brave, and it can be seen from this , Gao Zu had such a poisonous vision back then, he was very good at nurturing strong men."

Ping An is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son.

As Zhu Di said, Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to gather and train fierce generals is really not weak.

Zhen Wu also said at this time: "Ping An's arm was cut off by me, his bravery has actually been greatly reduced, but his subordinates should not be underestimated."

Zhu Di nodded, turned his head to look at Zhen Wudao: "Speaking of which, if you were not injured, you would have been able to capture Ping An if you were not injured. It's just a pity."

"Your Highness praises me, Qiu Song also has the demeanor of a father, not weaker than mine."

Zhu Di rolled his eyes angrily: "You don't have to be humble, I know your ability better than you." After finishing speaking, Zhu Di seemed to have no interest in chatting anymore.

He stood up and said: "Don't talk anymore, go talk to those envoys, his grandma, they have come to negotiate a peace, Ping'an still dares to be aggressive, he doesn't have a mother's attitude, what a fart to discuss."

Zhu Di strode out.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Di's back, shook his head and smiled wryly in his heart, those envoys were bound to be angered by Zhu Di.

Sure enough, on the second day, Zhen Wu heard that the envoy had been kicked out of Jinan City in disgrace, and Zhen Wu couldn't help but sigh, if he said his father-in-law was deep-minded, he was really deep, but he was also frank in many cases. Make people feel cute.

In the final analysis, Zhu Di has the straightforward temperament of a warrior.

……

After the peace talks came to an end, the city of Jinan returned to calm again. At the beginning of December, Qiu Song led the cavalry and rushed back. A few days later, after Xue Lu broke Zhending City, he also returned to Jinan. in the city.

By this time, there were only a dozen days left before the Chinese New Year.

With the exception of the defending army, the whole army was on vacation, and the brothel industry in Jinan City suddenly became hot. No matter if it was a formal place or a less formal place, it was basically full every day.

The working women have made a lot of money in the past few days, which makes many people envious.

Zhu Di also turned a blind eye to this scene.

If the soldiers are not allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year, how can they prevent people from finding a place to vent their anger?

It is estimated that there are quite a few soldiers, and they were even happy to take advantage of the time when they couldn't go home, so they let go of it to play, not to mention that Zhu Di gave out a lot of rewards before the holiday.

This kind of life when you have money on your body and your daughter-in-law is not around, only ghosts can hold back.

The soldiers around Zhen Wu were no exception.

Among them, the one who surprised Zhen Wu the most was Cao Xiaoman, a flirtatious kid who hooked up with a girl from a good family at some point.

This girl from a good family died of a man, and was kicked out of her in-law's house because she had no children, and her natal family's life itself was difficult, and she didn't want to talk more, and she didn't want to take him in.

The girl from a good family had no choice but to show her on the street, but Cao Xiaoman took advantage of her.

Zhen Wu had seen that woman before, she was not only stunningly beautiful, but she was not bad either. The most important thing was that she was full of charm. In Cao Xiaoman's words, what he liked was her figure, which was soft and full of fluff. He paid for a house and raised a girl from a good family as a lover.

The envious crowd clamored for Cao Xiaoman to treat him to a drink.

Cao Xiaoman happily did not refuse.

After finishing the drink, Zhen Wu was walking back to his residence, and suddenly he also had an impulse. He thought about whether to go to Goulan, or to have someone pick two of them up, but after much deliberation, he finally gave up.

General You is an example, and many times he shouldn't have such vulgar hobbies.

If you want to play, you can't play at this time.

Everyone else has played it, how does he play it again?

On New Year's Eve, when the army camp slaughtered sheep and pigs, Zhen Wu went down to eat with the soldiers. It was a lively night. After the Spring Festival, the [-]th... In the blink of an eye, it came to February.

During this period, they rested in Jinan City, but the imperial court was not idle. Not only Mei Yin led the army to Huai'an, but He Fu also served as the commander-in-chief, stationed in Xuzhou and other places.

Zhen Wu, who was already in good health, began to discuss with Zhu Di and others how to go south to fight at this time.

But at this time, with the imperial court's arrangements in place one after another, the cold winter in the capital seems to have passed.

But the 34th year of Hongwu and the third year of Jianwen are different from the past, and it is destined to be an important year.

Zhu Yunwen was exhausted these days, and he tried his best to gather 40 troops for Mei Yin and 15 troops for He Fu, but even so Zhu Yunwen was still worried.

He really didn't trust the soldiers on the front line.

On this day, he summoned Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai to discuss again. After Fang Xiaoru and the three came over, Zhu Yunqi said without any concealment: "To tell you the truth, I don't dare to put my hope on the soldiers anymore. , They are not worthy of my trust, so we still need to work hard on some things, I wonder if there is any way for you to retreat directly from the Yan army, or help the soldiers win the battle."

Qi Tai looked up at Zhu Yunwen in doubt.

A decisive victory thousands of miles away?

This... is naive.

However, Qi Tai was also wondering why their army would be defeated every time they encountered Zhu Di, which was unreasonable and also puzzling.

Is it because the soldiers refused to fight the enemy bravely?
But they have clearly stated that they will give generous rewards, why are they still unwilling to be loyal to the imperial court? !
In the room, Qitai and the three were silent, each thinking about something.

Zhu Yunwen sighed and said: "Xuhuai two places will be our last line of defense. If Xuhuai two places are defeated again, the Yan army can drive Jinling for a long time. Everyone, until now, we will never be defeated again. We are responsible for what happened before. You don’t have to say anything, but now you must do your best to offer advice.”

Both Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were dumbfounded at the moment, and they didn't know how to help the soldiers win the battle.

However, Fang Xiaoru, who has been in charge of writing edicts and teaching Zhu Yunqi, said at this moment: "Your Majesty, during the Chinese New Year, I heard a student talk about something, maybe we can make a fuss about it."

"Oh."

Zhu Yunwen asked happily, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xiaoru possessed a Confucian style of nurturing Qi. He said calmly, calmly and calmly: "My student once lived in Beiping, and he told me that the third eldest son of King Yan, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui, among them The eldest son Zhu Gaochi is not good at martial arts because of his fat body, but he often likes writing papers. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who are extremely martial arts, are often dissatisfied with the eldest son. My son, and now my son and Zhu Gaosui guard Beiping, but Zhu Gaoxu joins the army with King Yan, in my opinion, we might as well make a big fuss about this matter."

Zhu Yunqi nodded again and again, and asked: "Master Fang, what are you thinking about? Please speak up boldly."

"Divorce."

Fang Xiaoru's expression became concentrated: "Although I don't know about military affairs, I also know that the most important generals in the army are together. King Yan is now leading the army, and his son guards Beiping and prepares for logistics. It is no less than the prime minister of King Yan. If King Yan If you are suspicious of your son, the King of Yan will definitely send his troops back to the north, and even return to Beiping, and then we can send troops to retake Jinan, Dezhou and other places."

Make Yan Wang suspicious of his son?
Zhu Yunwen and the others thought about it.

Huang Zicheng couldn't help but asked, "How can someone like King Yan easily doubt the eldest son? That's his own eldest son."

Fang Xiaoru replied lightly: "The more ambitious you are, the more suspicious you are. What's more, how can King Yan not know whether his three sons are harmonious or not, and how can he not know Zhu Gaoxu, who often ridicules the son of King Yan. Do you suspect that his son is angry? Besides, Zhu Gaoxu is now serving in the army with King Yan, and has repeatedly made military exploits. Is the son of King Yan really willing to watch Zhu Gaoxu grow up step by step?"

Zhu Yunqi and the others nodded along with Fang Xiaoru's words, and their minds became clearer and clearer.

Fang Xiaoru said in a serious tone at this time: "His Royal Highness only needs to send a letter to Prince Yan, and directly seal him as King Yan. For example, Prince Yan was worried that Zhu Gaoxu would compete with him for the position of prince after he became a big army. Seeing that the emperor canonized him Even if this plan can't cause their father and son to turn against each other, but as long as we spread the news to the ears of King Yan, King Yan will definitely be suspicious, and the army of Yan will definitely be in turmoil because of this."

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru sighed heavily again: "People's hearts are unpredictable, the most difficult thing to guard against, no matter whether the king of Yan believes in the son or not, as long as the son has the possibility of rebelling against him, the king of Yan will not dare to go south and use troops recklessly."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes brightened: "This plan is very clever."

Qi Tai also looked at Fang Xiaoru in surprise.

There is something about this man.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Yunqi wrote the secret letter and asked Zhang An, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, to go to Beiping with the letter.

a few days later.

Zhen Wu and the others still don't know how Beiping will react, but in Jinan City, a storm has already been stirred up.

I don't know where it spread, the news that King Yan's son wanted to surrender to the court and planned to work with the court to eradicate the rebellion spread to the ears of all the generals in the army.

And this storm is getting worse.

Zhen Wu frowned and looked in the direction of Zhu Di in his residence. He didn't know why Zhu Di didn't move at all and let the wind and waves spread.

Does he really not trust Zhu Gaochi?
Or he couldn't see that Zhu Gaoxu had started to make trouble by taking advantage of this matter?

Zhen Wu sighed deeply, and turned his eyes away. This matter was so complicated that he didn't know how to deal with it, because he never expected that the fight between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu would break out fiercely at this moment.

He knew that Zhu Gaoxu had been in the army several times and survived several times, and had repeatedly made military exploits, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't know that they hadn't won yet.

At this time, you are busy fighting internally, do you want to kill yourself? !

Or did Zhu Gaoxu actually just want to use this matter to put a sharp needle in Zhu Gaochi's heart for Zhu Di? !Let him wait until the future, and face the world he fought with blood and blood, so that he won't have no chance at all.

He is not reconciled, Zhen Wu understands.

But at this time, if the army can't be twisted together, how can they fight in this world? !
