Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 380 378-Why would you lose to others?

The weather is getting colder and colder, and after entering December, it will take a sharp turn for the worse.

In the capital, Zhu Gaoxu's reputation has been increasing in the past few days. To the officials, there are quite a few officials who do not see the crown prince when the King of Han is present. Under such circumstances, Zhen Wu's reputation will inevitably suffer. some damage.

Zhen Wu's political opinions in the court were blocked. For some people who were good at adapting to the wind, they naturally regarded this as a sign of the direction of the wind, and planned to re-bet resources.

Especially after Annan Li Jishu's urgent letter was delivered to the capital, those fools even dared to criticize Zhen Wu's ability in private.

The content of Li Jishou's letter was very simple. He not only confessed his guilt to Zhu Di sincerely, but also explained the reasons in detail. He said that he did not intend to deceive Zhu Di before, but he did not find any children of the Chen family after various searches, so he used his sons and nephews However, since Chen Tianping showed up now, they should respectfully welcome Chen Tianping back to Annan, and treat him as a king.

When Li Jishou's attitude was known by all court officials.

All the civil servants cheered and jumped up, one by one leaning over to congratulate Zhu Di: "The fame of the Ming Dynasty spreads far and wide, and Qu Annan won't fight. This will be passed on forever. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Di felt a little better when he saw Li Jishou's saving face, so he summoned Chen Tianping and others again that day.

Chen Tianping and the others had always been thinking about their affairs, and they were naturally very excited when they heard Zhu Di summoned them. When they came to the main hall and bowed to Zhu Di, they couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Daming is willing to promote justice. teacher?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

Chen Tianping was taken aback for a moment.

Zhu Di looked at Chen Tianping and said with a smile: "After I heard about you, I have always kept it in my heart. I wrote to Annan long ago, and now Annan has replied, saying that he is willing to welcome you back to Annan and make way for you. There is no need to use any more weapons."

The expression on Chen Tianping's face was unbelievable, the next moment, Chen Tianping couldn't help but said: "How is this possible, Li Jiyao and other treacherous villains, how could they obediently give way to me."

"presumptuous."

At this time Zhu Gaoxu stood up and reprimanded: "You are not joking, will your Majesty lie to you?"

"No no no."

Chen Tianping looked panicked, looked at Zhu Di, and said, "I beg your Majesty to forgive me, I never think so, but when I was in Annan, I was hunted and killed by Li Jishou and others, and I can hardly coexist with Li Jishou. I really can't believe that Li Jishou would kindly give up his seat to me."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "What do you think my Ming is? You can't see my Da Ming's invincible iron army, but Li Jishou can see it clearly. Since my Daming has intervened in this matter and blamed him for not being a minister, he will naturally It's unbelievable to obediently give up the throne."

Chen Tianping opened his mouth and was speechless.

Zhu Di waved his hand, glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and then said to Chen Tianping with a gentle smile: "This matter was indeed written by Annan Li Jishou, so you don't have to worry about it. Although Li Jishou is at fault, but now Since he admits his mistake so sincerely, I don’t want to be aggressive, since he is willing to give way to you, then I will make the decision to let you go back and continue to be your King Annan.”

At this point, Zhu Di paused: "I know you are worried, but there is no need to be like this. Since ancient times, the kings who fled have made a lot of achievements after returning to their homeland. You don't have to belittle yourself. You can concentrate on managing your Annan subjects in the future. Of course, if you If you are in trouble, you can also ask the envoys to come here for help, and I will take care of you."

Hearing what Zhu Di said, Chen Tianping was still a little bit unwilling that Daming would not send troops, but in the end he had no choice but to nod.

After all, this result is much better than Daming not caring about them.

At worst, after they go back, they will fight Li Jishu again.

Zhu Di went on to say: "Annan respectfully welcomes your return envoy. You only came to the capital a few years ago. It just so happens that this trip coincides with the New Year. You should wait until the new year and go back to Annan together. And these days, you can wait and have a good time in the capital. Fan, it’s also good to see the scenery of my Ming Dynasty, and if you have any needs during the period, you can report to the Ministry of Rites.”

Chen Tianping and others kowtowed to thank them.

Afterwards, there was nothing serious about the court meeting. After the court retreat, all the officials retreated one by one like a tide, and each returned to their respective yamen to start their errands, but Zhen Wu was a little puzzled, even puzzled.

Did Li Jiyao really obediently welcome Chen Tianping back?

How could he be willing?
Zhen Wu put himself into Li Jishou's identity and began to think about it, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of the benefits of Li Jishou's doing so.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

Moreover, Zhen Wu clearly remembered that there was a conquest against Annan during the Yongle period in the history of later generations. Could it be resolved peacefully now?Is it the butterfly effect caused by his time travel?

Zhen Wu couldn't help but patted his forehead. He regretted that he didn't study history well at the beginning. Regarding the conquest of Annan during the Yongle period, he only knew about it. I know, on the contrary, I know that because Zhang Fu did not stay in Annan for a long time, and the person who succeeded Zhang Fu was relatively mediocre, it caused Annan to repeat himself and go out independently again, which became one of the few major regrets during the Yongle period.

Even many people in later generations regretted this, and couldn't help guessing that if Zhang Fu could stay in Annan forever, Daming would have a different look.

Damn.

Zhen Wu scolded himself secretly.

When I went to school in the previous life, if I didn't drill into the small woods, I definitely wouldn't have learned such a half-knowledge of history.

Well now, only the camera should respond.

At this time, Xia Yuanji saw Zhen Wu's uncomfortable expression, and came over and said, "Why is Zhao Guogong doing this? With Zhao Guogong's military power, there is no need to prove that the small matter of conquering Annan, why don't you want to open some, and let's talk about peaceful settlement of Annan. The saved food and grass can be used to enrich the people, compared to the icing on the cake of Zhao Guogong’s military prestige, the lower officials think it is more valuable, I heard that Zhao Guogong has always loved the soldiers and the people, are the rumors true?"

"You think I want to conquer Annan because of my own reputation?" Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows.

Xia Yuanji said: "I didn't think so at first, but now Li Jishou is obediently going to welcome Chen Tianping back. Obviously, the situation is very good, but why is Zhao Guogong frowning like this? Isn't it because of this result that he disagrees with Zhao Guogong's politics, and the Duke of Zhao So think of another countermeasure?"

hiss.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath, and said displeasedly: "Xia Yuanji, no matter how small I am, Zhen Wu, this is not enough. If this matter can be resolved peacefully, Zhen will naturally be happy to see it happen, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu couldn't continue. In the end, he was just a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't explain why he was uneasy. How could these words be understood by Xia Yuanji, let alone these words could not be said by Xia Yuanji.

At the same time, on the other side, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and others saw Zhen Wu and Xia Yuanji chatting, and they had observed Zhen Wu's expression a little uncomfortable earlier.

Yang Shiqi felt quite guilty for this. In his opinion, he had accepted Zhen Wu's kindness, but when Zhen Wu had political opinions, he just watched from the sidelines. He couldn't help but feel a little ungrateful, but it was related to the country. For big things, he could comfort himself, but seeing that Zhen Wu was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but want to go forward and try to persuade him.

So, he made it clear to Xie Jin and motioned Xie Jin to go chat with Zhen Wu with him, but he didn't expect Xie Jin to look at Zhen Wu indifferently, and finally said arrogantly: "Go by yourself, I, Xie Jin I have always done things worthy of heaven and earth, and I don’t need to explain anything to others.”

After speaking, Xie Jin waved his sleeves and strode away.

Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded looking at Xie Jin's background, and then he sighed in his heart. Since Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, Xie Jin has skyrocketed and has been favored by Zhu Di. It is rumored that Zhu Di once said that one cannot live without Jin, and this Under such circumstances, Xie Jin is indeed qualified to be proud, and also qualified to not care about other people, but they were able to see Zhu Di at the beginning, thanks to Zhao Guogong's introduction.

It's really inappropriate to act like this while gaining power now.

Yang Shiqi shook his head with a wry smile.

He is not qualified to persuade Jin anything now, so he walked towards Zhen Wu alone.

Seeing Yang Shiqi approaching with a look of wanting to comfort him, Zhen Wu immediately realized that his expression in the court hall just now was inappropriate, and then he glanced at the expressions of all the officials who were retreating.

This made Zhen Wu laugh out loud.

What a leisurely person.

After today, there may be many people who are secretly speculating and talking about him based on his pensive look in the court just now.

In this case.

Zhen Wu unhappily blocked Yang Shiqi's consoling words, and then said: "I know what you want to say, but there is no need to say anything. I, Zhen Wu, have checked Li Jishou, but I don't think there is anything wrong with this matter. It’s so simple, there might be twists and turns, that’s why I thought about it in court, but since I’ve been misunderstood, I don’t want to be treated like a monkey, and it’s just that Chinese New Year is coming, so I’m going to ask His Majesty for a sick leave.”

Both Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji were slightly taken aback.

Not so simple?
Regeneration twists and turns?

This... is too much thought.

How powerful is the Ming Dynasty now, how dare little Annan stroke the tiger's beard lightly.

And Zhen Wu became more and more angry when he said that, he thought of plotting Annan's affairs, why, now he turned it into a joke: "Well, I don't play anymore, damn it, I will go home and prepare for the New Year's head office Bar."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu took a step forward and went to ask Zhu Di for leave.

However, when Zhen Wu just came to Zhu Di's study, Zhu Gaoxu actually came out from inside. Zhen Wu squinted at the triumphant Zhu Gaoxu, and asked, "Why is the King of Han looking for His Majesty?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled like a dog's tail grass: "Isn't it Li Jiyao who wants to welcome Chen Tianping back? I'm thinking about choosing some soldiers to escort Chen Tianping, and I will also put some people in Annan first."

Zhen Wu nodded. He didn't want to say much at first, but in the end he endured his displeasure and reminded: "Li Jishou has always been cunning, you must take more precautions, and the generals who escorted Chen Tianping also You need to choose some cautious people, don't make mistakes..."

While talking, Zhen Wu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Li Jisha would not attack Chen Tianping.

There seems to be a possibility.

Chen Tianping is a child of the Annan royal family. If Daming attacked Annan, with Chen Tianping around, it would be a hundred times easier for them. After all, it is very easy to have a royal child for things like calling the door.

Ok?
Why does this sound familiar?

But now is not the time to say that.

A sharp light flashed across Zhen Wu's eyes, and he said solemnly to Zhu Gaoxu: "It suddenly occurred to me that Li Jishou might attack Chen Tianping on his way back south, and it is very possible, so you This is absolutely unavoidable.”

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu thought for a while, and said seriously with a little uneasiness: "Do you have someone to choose who will escort Chen Tianping back to the south? Do you want me to find someone to escort Chen Tianping, or... I will personally escort him once." .”

"do not."

Contrary to Zhen Wu's expectations, Zhu Gaoxu directly rejected Zhen Wu without even thinking about it, and looked at Zhen Wu with some vigilance, and said to Qu: "Brother-in-law, how can you be an escort for a country? Besides, in our Daming, you are not the only brother-in-law who can fight alone. I, Zhu Gaoxu, will promise you again today. You are impressed."

Zhen Wu was stunned.

What does it mean?
Are you afraid that he will steal credit, or are you afraid that he will intervene in Annan in advance?

Zhen Wu looked deeply at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu's self-confidence that has been touted these days is overwhelming, and he meets Zhen Wu's eyes without avoiding. In the end, Zhen Wu's anger dissipated again, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I'm a dog with a mouse."

Afterwards, Zhen Wu directly passed Zhu Gaoxu and walked towards Zhu Di's study.

And Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhen Wu's background, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, turned around and strode away, he believed that he could do well this time.

He is not a child anymore.

When he returned to the Han Palace, he immediately called Huang Zhong over, and he ordered: "This time, you will lead five thousand troops to escort Chen Tianping, and when you arrive in Annan, remember to put the person who should be placed in there. In addition, we must never bring Li Jishu's eldest son back to the capital, we must take this opportunity to firmly grasp Annan's government in our hands."

"Don't worry Your Highness, I understand this." Huang Zhong said.

After Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, he solemnly told Huang Zhong: "Although we have been preparing for this matter for some time, when I came back from the palace just now, Zhao Guogong's words also reminded me that Li Jishou is very serious. Cunning, when you escort Chen Tianping to Annan, you must be cautious, but if there is any trouble, report it immediately. If Li Jishou wants to go back on his word, I can even support you at the frontier of Chen Bing, so you must not go along the way Be careless, don’t overturn the boat in the gutter.”

Hearing this, Huang Zhong couldn't help but said: "Your Highness is underestimating people like this. You have won countless battles with Zhao Guogong, but you are not a fledgling boy with a humble job. Even if you count the time, you have been in the army for more than ten years. These things don't matter. You and Zhao Guogong will be on guard beforehand."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Afterwards, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Speaking of which, as long as we do well this time, let alone the benefits we can get, the admiration of all the officials alone will make people happy."

"Yes." Huang Zhong nodded in agreement.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Huang Zhong, recalled what happened some time ago, and said, "By the way, I heard that you were taught a lesson by Zhao Guogong some time ago?"

Huang Zhong was stunned and said: "It is a humble position that offended Zhao Guogong, and he deserves to be punished."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand generously and said: "Speaking of it, but I know you are angry, so this time you have to be more aggressive. Zhao Guogong values ​​people with ability the most. When he was in the palace just now, Zhao Guogong wanted to personally escort Chen. Tian Ping, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this matter, so as long as you handle this matter well enough, presumably Zhao Guogong will not underestimate you like that in the future, and this is also an opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."

After hearing this, Huang Zhong nodded heavily.

At the same time, his fists were secretly clenched without knowing it.

Speaking of which, he is older than Zhao Guogong. He admits that Zhao Guogong can fight, but he doesn't think he is much worse than Zhao Guogong.

In the final analysis, it is not better for Zhao Guogong to order, and His Majesty should value it.

If he had the opportunity of Zhao Guogong to display his skills, he didn't believe that he would do worse than Zhao Guogong!
After all, everyone carries a head with two arms.

Why risk your life to lose to others!
