I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 159 Auspiciousness descends from heaven, and the unicorn announces good news.

The beginning of August in the 12th year of Yongle.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's second Northern Expedition ended successfully.

In this battle, Wala Mahamu was defeated, more than [-] people were beheaded, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver were seized.

Alutai Wuliangha and other grassland forces surrendered one after another, and even flattered Zhu Di as Emperor Tiankhan.

In fact, this suggestion was proposed by Zhu Zhangui to Alutai.

Otherwise, relying on the fact that Alutai disturbed Daming's logistics line, and accompanying the cattle, sheep, gold and silver, how could the old man let him go so easily.

Of course, this opinion is not in vain.

Zhu Zhangui received a lot of opinion fees from Alutai.

After conferring Zen in Langjuxu Mountain, he was also called Tiankehan like Li Shimin, and the old man finally went home satisfied.

As for the chaos on the grassland after the Ming army left.

The massacre of the Mahamu herdsmen captives will have an impact on the grassland, which depends on the grassland people's own consideration.

You can fight whatever you want, if you dare to use this as an excuse to invade Da Ming, Da Ming can't guarantee that the tragedy on Mahamu's side will happen to you.

And on the fifth day after the Ming army retreated, the messenger who delivered the good news finally arrived at the capital.

early morning.

The warm sunshine sprinkled in the majestic palace.

In Shangshu's room, Zhu Pangpang and others are having a morning meeting.

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, stood up with a distressed face and reported the current difficulties of the court.

"His Royal Highness, it has been raining continuously in the northern land recently, and the muddy roads have caused logistics and transportation to be very troublesome, and the consumption is also very huge."

"In addition, the autumn grain has not been delivered from all over the country, and the imperial court's grain depot is almost empty. Let alone supplying the front line now, the capital's own consumption can't be supplied. If there is a disaster somewhere, the household department will If there is no food for disaster relief, I hope His Royal Highness will make a plan early."

Zhu Pangpang sighed when he heard the words, and waved his hands.

"Try to urge all places to speed up the transportation of autumn grain. There must be no shortage of food on the front line. Once the front line runs out of food and grass, there will be big trouble."

Xia Yuanji originally wanted to say something more, but noticed Zhu Pangpang's tired eyes, so he could only nod helplessly, and stepped aside.

"Your Highness, this battle can no longer be fought. Now the north is about to enter winter, and our logistics line is often attacked by Arutai. If the war continues like this, if it is delayed until the snowy winter, the frontline soldiers will be in danger! "

After Xia Yuanji retreated, Shangshu Saiyi of the Ministry of Officials was the first to stand up and put forward a proposal to withdraw troops.

Zhu Pangpang glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

Doesn't he want the old man to come back?But the problem is that his words are on the old man's side, just like farting, it doesn't work at all.

Some time ago, the army was blocked at the entrance of the Three Gorges, so he wrote to the old man to propose to withdraw the troops first, and then consider the plan for the Northern Expedition when he was ready.

In the end, he was severely scolded by the old man's reply letter, which made him depressed for several days.

Later, when he wrote a letter, the old man didn't even reply.

What's even more exasperating is that his own son doesn't know what's going on.

From going out to now, I haven't written a single letter back, and all the letters I wrote in the past have disappeared.

This made Zhu Pangpang want Zhu Zhangui to persuade the old man to find no one.

"Has there been any news from the north in the past two days?"

Zhu Pangpang looked at Yang Shiqi who was Minister of the Ministry of War.

Yang Shiqi shook his head.

"Back to His Royal Highness, a message came a few days ago, saying that there is still a stalemate at the entrance of the Three Gorges, and urging us to speed up the transportation of food, grass and wound medicine."

Ugh!
Zhu Pangpang was even more worried.

Sure enough, as my daughter-in-law said, people in Lao Zhu's family are all stubborn.

The old and the old can't talk, and the young and the young are disobedient. I am really worried.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..."

When a group of people were worrying about food and grass and how to persuade the old man to come back, a young eunuch rushed in hastily.

"You bastard military plane, did you break into it? Drag it out and beat me to death with sticks!"

Little Nasty, who was serving at the side, saw that the eunuch under him was so ignorant of the rules, so he hurriedly stepped forward to ask someone to drag the little eunuch out.

Zhu Pangpang didn't care much about it.

There are rules in the palace, and if you don't understand the rules, someone will teach you the rules.

"Forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive me. The Crown Princess asked the servants to find you. The Crown Princess asked the servants to inform you that the Grandson Concubine is about to give birth, so you should hurry over there."

"What!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was lowering his head and preparing to continue the discussion with the crowd, jumped up suddenly, ran to the little eunuch in a few steps, asked people to let him go, and asked anxiously.

"What are you talking about, the concubine is about to give birth."

The little eunuch nodded repeatedly.

"Just now the Crown Princess and the Grand Concubine were visiting the garden, and the Grand Concubine suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, and the mother-in-law who followed said that she was about to give birth, so the Crown Princess asked the servants to come over and notify you."

"Ouch, my God! It's finally going to be born."

Zhu Pangpang slapped his fat legs happily, turned to Yang Shiqi and the six big brothers and said, "We've reached this point today. I have something urgent here. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Several of them are princelings, so of course they understand the importance of this matter to the East Palace.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry about us, you can go there quickly, let's discuss it first."

Zhu Pangpang, who had been anxious to leave for a long time, nodded.

"That's fine, I'll go there first, you guys discuss it first."

After all, the few people who didn't care about saluting lifted the hem of their clothes, flung their fat, and quickly went to Zhu Zhangui's bedroom.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl!"

Seeing Zhu Pangpang hurried away, Yang Shiqi muttered in a low voice.

For the royal family, and it is the first child of the new generation, if it is a boy, that is the best result.

Xia Yuanji said cheerfully when he heard the words.

"Boys are better than girls, as long as they are not twins."

"puff!"

Xia Yuanji's words almost made several people laugh, and Yang Rong shook his head helplessly, pointing at Xia Yuanji.

"It's better to take care of your mouth, and be careful not to cause trouble for you in the future."

"Urgent report... border emergency report!"

Just when several people were packing up and preparing to go back to work, a palace guard rushed in hurriedly with a travel-worn soldier.

Hearing that it was an emergency report, everyone's hearts sank, fearing that the news would be bad, they looked nervously at the soldiers who walked in quickly.

"His Royal Highness!"

After the two came in, the dusty soldier saw that there was no prince in the room, so he asked Yang Shiqi and others.

"There is something wrong with the crown prince. Let us deal with the state affairs first. Is something wrong with the north side?"

Knowing that the prince was busy, the soldier didn't ask any more questions, took out a wooden box from the rucksack behind him, handed it to Yang Shiqi, who was the minister of the Ministry of War, and answered loudly at the same time.

"Nothing happened. The war in the north is over. Mahamu was defeated by us and committed suicide before the battle. When the humble officer set off, the side had already started to pack up and prepare to retreat."

"What, I won!"

"It has been withdrawn!"

Several other people who were waiting for the news had surprise smiles on their faces when they heard the soldier's report.

Yang Shiqi opened the box even more quickly, took out the memorial book inside, and started to read it hastily.

The few other people didn't care about their manners anymore, and gathered around one by one, head to head looking at the battle report in Yang Shiqi's hand.

After a while, relaxed smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Yang Shiqi looked at the people around him and said with a smile: "We have won this battle, and the north will have decades of peace again."

"Hahaha, that's great, let's go and let the prince know."

"Yes, that's right, the crown prince has been waiting for this news for a long time, let's go and tell him together!"

A group of people bustlingly took the battle report and walked to Zhu Zhangui's bedroom accompanied by Snotty Snot.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhangui lived not far from the East Palace, and it was not in the harem, otherwise Yang Shiqi and the others would not be able to get in even if they were accompanied by Snotty Snot.

When a few people arrived, they saw Zhu Pangpang standing at the door of the bedroom, circling anxiously with his hands behind his back.

The door of the bedroom kept opening, and a maid came in and out anxiously, holding a hot water basin.

"Why are you here! You haven't been born yet, and it's not clear whether it's a man or a woman."

Anxious Zhu Pangpang saw Yang Shiqi and the others approaching, thinking they wanted to know whether the child was a boy or a girl.

"Your Highness, we are bringing good news."

Not daring to look in the direction of the bedroom, Yang Shiqi smiled and pulled out the battle report from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhu Pangpang.

Zhu Pangpang glanced at a few people who were deliberately trying to be tricky, and stretched out his hand to open the battle report in his hand.

"Wow wow wow..."

But as soon as he opened the battle report with his hand, before he even glanced at the direction of the bedroom behind him, there was a loud cry of a baby.

"gave birth!"

Zhu Pangpang turned around excitedly, looking in the direction of the gate expectantly, waiting for his wife to come and tell him the good news he wanted to hear.

Yang Shiqi and the others didn't say much, and they were also expecting good news in their hearts.

Once the new generation of children is a boy, the position of the East Palace will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Soon the door of the bedroom was opened a crack, and the Crown Princess Zhang walked out with a happy face.

"Meet the princess!"

Yang Shiqi and the others hurriedly saluted.

Mrs. Zhang nodded cheerfully, and did not blame Yang Shiqi and the others for coming here, but looked at Zhu Pangpang with a smile.

"Guess if it's a boy or a girl!"

Although he saw the desired answer from his wife's face, Zhu Pangpang still stomped anxiously.

"Hurry up and say what's the point, you're only satisfied if you want me to die!"

Seeing her husband's anxious appearance, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help the joy in her heart, and laughed loudly regardless of the Crown Princess's demeanor.

"It's a man with a handle, you have a grandson!"

The tension on Zhu Pangpang's face instantly turned into a happy laugh.

"Okay, okay, great, now the old man, us, and Zhangui are all relieved."

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince, and congratulations to the Crown Princess on the birth of Qilin's grandson."

Yang Shiqi and the others also showed smiles on their faces, and they all cupped their hands to congratulate Zhu Pangpang and Mrs. Zhang.

"Hahaha, the same joy!"

Zhu Pangpang happily cupped his hands at them.

"If you have something to talk about elsewhere, I'll go back and take care of it. By the way, write a letter to Zhangui and tell him the good news. The old man is still waiting there, and tell Zhangui not to worry, mother and son." Safety."

Afraid that some people's words would disturb her eldest grandson, Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand to chase them away.

Zhu Pangpang, who was happy to have a grandson, was not exhausted anymore, and returned to Shang's study with a few people with a radiant face.

"By the way, what were you looking for me just now!"

As soon as he entered Shang's study, Zhu Pangpang seemed to have just remembered that they seemed to be looking for him for business just now.

Yang Shiqi smiled and pointed to the battle report that Zhu Pangpang was still holding.

"Oh, look at my memory, I'm so happy and confused!"

Zhu Pangpang patted his forehead, put away the smile on his face, opened the battle report in his hand with a serious expression, and began to observe carefully.

Soon Zhu Pangpang's serious face gradually turned into surprise, and finally into a relaxed smile.

The battle was finally over, and he finally didn't have to worry about things in the north so he couldn't sleep.

Carefully put away the battle report in his hand, Zhu Pangpang looked at the few people who looked very relaxed and said with emotion: "Today is really double happiness!"

Lu Xin, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, squeezed his goatee, shook his head and said, "And it's a unicorn to announce the good news, which is an auspicious sign!"

Xia Yuanji looked at Lu Xin and gave Lu Xin a thumbs up.

"Brother Lu is right. We haven't received any good news from the north. Our grandson, His Royal Highness, came here first. He probably gave us the good news in advance. It's a pity that we couldn't understand what he said, otherwise the battle report You don't even need to look at it."

"Hahaha…"

The two sang together, making Zhu Pangpang and the other big guys laugh out loud.

Soon, two good news came from the palace.

Great victory in the north, His Majesty the Emperor led his troops to defeat Mahamu, completely pacified the grassland, and will soon return victorious.

Concubine Zhao Ling'er gave birth to a son for grandson Zhu Zhangui, adding a grandson to the royal family.

At the same time, there is also a news circulating among the people.

It is said that this eldest grandson was born in response to great joy, but the unicorn from the sky descended to the earth to announce the good news.

ps: These two brief explanations of the follow-up plot of Beizheng will officially start a new episode tomorrow.
