Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 94
"It's just." Tang He hesitated for a while, then clasped his fists and said. "Gaoli's side is somewhat dissatisfied with me waiting for Liting."

"Dissatisfied?" Old Zhu raised his thick eyebrows. "Why, that fellow of the King of Korea, dare to challenge our Daming?"

"That's not true." Tang He said with a smile. "Koryo is just a small place, and the king of Koryo is the weakest. First he followed Beiyuan, then he followed Daming. He is just a fool."

"He also invited someone to bring food and grass to help us out! Forgive him for not daring to say anything!"

"It's a Koryo general named Li Chenggui. It is said that he originally planned to recruit the Jianzhou Jurchen for his own use. He heard that I sent troops to Liting in the Ming Dynasty, and said some strange things."

"Don't pay attention to him!" Old Zhu Longpao waved. "It's just a Korean general, so what if he's dissatisfied?"

"We Daming do things, why use him to give pointers."

"Yes. That's what I said." Tang He also smiled.I also feel a little funny at myself for such a trivial matter like Shangzuo.

……

Although the Northern Expedition failed, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also severely injured, and it was no longer able to make a large-scale invasion of the South.Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Emperor Hongwu, the participating ministers had a heated discussion on a series of policies and measures for the future.

Emperor Hongwu pointed out that the battle between Daming and Beiyuan had already achieved phased victories. Daming successfully recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which also greatly weakened the national power of Beiyuan.In the end, Emperor Hongwu personally made the decision. Next, Da Ming should turn from offense to defense, adhere to the principle of temporary confrontation with Bei Yuan, and seize the time to vigorously implement related policies for economic recovery and national strength restoration.We must get out of the haze of the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty...

After the court meeting, Lao Zhu came to Qianqing Palace.But I saw that Empress Ma was giving Zhu Su shoes in the palace. Zhu Su, who was supposed to be on the bed, didn't know where to go at this time.

"Where's the fifth one?" Lao Zhu sat down beside Queen Ma.Empress Ma continued to hold the soles of her shoes, and raised her head slightly when she heard the words: "I was called away by the second and fourth. I will be back in a while."

"The matter of the previous court is over?"

Old Zhu hummed, "This fifth son just recovered from his illness, so he ran around..." Seeing that fifth old Zhu slipped away, Old Zhu felt a little regretful.He also wanted to hear about the specific changes in Beiyuan over the next few decades.

"It's been a long time! It's been half a month." Empress Ma said helplessly. "You pull Lao Wu to talk about things every day, can Lao Wu not avoid you?"

"These days, he started to talk about leaving the palace again. If he is not allowed to walk around in the palace, he will be locked up sooner or later."

"I know too." Lao Zhu picked up a pastry on the table and gulped it down.But Empress Ma noticed the melancholy between her brows.She put down the shoes in her hands and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that something went wrong in the previous dynasty?"

"It's nothing... It's just that when Tiande came back this time, I think he seems to be several years older." Old Zhu said. "He has always done things properly, and now he is still required to guard the Ming army."

"But we can see that he has already alienated us. Just now at the court meeting, he also looked cautious. This is to be careful that we are like Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, taking the heroes out of the knife?"

"Don't think so much about Tiande. Tiande has his reasons for being careful." Empress Ma said. "He has already been named the Duke of the country. Originally, he should not be made the commander of the Northern Expedition."

"There is no way to get promoted. If you win, how will you be rewarded? Is it a king? Is it a king with a different surname?"

Lao Zhu immediately shook his head. "That won't work. Although Tiande is credible, we can't do things like conferring kings with different surnames on our offspring."

"Look, you know it's not good, let alone Tiande." Empress Ma analyzed. "Before I wanted to wipe out Bei Yuan in one fell swoop, I still used the virtue of heaven. Naturally, Tiande has no time to think so much."

"However, during the recent period, our Daming is obviously unable to go to the north. Even if our Daming recovers, Tiande will be old at that time, and he will definitely not be able to command the army by then."

"Tiande has gone through fire and water for you, Emperor Zhu, all his life. Now that he is finally retiring, why not allow him to think about the future for himself? Thinking about being more cautious, and being more generous, is also respecting you as a big brother. Do you want him to be like before? , drink and eat meat shoulder to shoulder with you?"

When Empress Ma explained it, Lao Zhu's frowning immediately eased a lot, and the grudge against Xu Da in his heart also dissipated.Then he picked up another piece of pastry and swallowed it: "That won't work. Tiande can't retire yet."

"Our Daming's million-dollar army, we can only rest assured if he is in charge! But if he has a grudge, we can't help him. In addition, we have to find a way to solve his knot that he can't be promoted. Only then. Otherwise, according to his temperament, he would hide everything..."

What Lao Zhu said made sense.The point is to send the commander in chief, and the most important thing is not to use a suspicious person, and not to be suspicious of an employing person.If Xu Da couldn't let go of his knot, Lao Zhu himself wouldn't feel at ease either.

"How about...getting married?" Empress Ma suddenly said.

"Get married?" Old Zhu was taken aback.I bowed my head and thought for a while.

"I see it!" He slapped the table. "I heard that Tiande's precious eldest daughter has also reached the age where she can get married... have you ever met my sister before?"

"Yes." Empress Ma nodded and smiled.She often organizes noble girls in the palace and leads them to weave and tailor clothes, so she has naturally met Xu Miaoyun. "Gentle and virtuous, she is also handsome, she is a good girl!"

"Well, in terms of age, he is about the same age as the fourth and fifth. You want to point him to the fourth?"

"Then..." Old Zhu originally wanted to say that it was natural, how could there be a reason why the younger brother got married first when the elder brother was not yet married?But it suddenly occurred to me that Zhu Su once said that Zhu Di in history married this Xu family!

If he still married her, would those filial sons and grandchildren who made him gnash his teeth with hatred pop out again?

Telling this doubt to Empress Ma, Empress Ma couldn't help laughing and said, "You think too much!"

"Children are born good. Don't you know that it's the father's fault? It's the parents who didn't discipline well, and the villain who instigated them, so they became like that."

"We all know the reasons. From now on, we should try our best to avoid it. How can we dislike that child from the Xu family because of this?"

"Well, it makes sense..." Old Zhu nodded.This matter really cannot be blamed on the girl's head.

"Then let's invite Tiande into the palace to have a drink in the past few days. Sister, you help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo..."

"Understood, when the time comes, I will also call the fourth child so that Tiande can take a look..."

The husband and wife are in the Qianqing Palace, constantly discussing...

On the other side, in the depths of the imperial palace, four people, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Su, were doing push-ups in a small school yard.

"Huh! Huh!" Zhu Yan was panting like a bellows, trying to prop himself up, but fell to the ground when he was halfway through. "Old... Lao Wu, can you really strengthen your body with this method?"

"Why do I feel... I've lost half my life..."

"Of course it is possible." Zhu Su said with difficulty while sweating.After he fell into the water last time and was exhausted, he knew that his current body was still too thin.He didn't want to inherit the Zhu family's fine tradition of dissolving in water, and put exercise on the agenda as soon as he recovered from his illness. "What's just push-ups? Looking back, I'll ask someone to clean up the school grounds. All the equipment that should be there will be sorted out, and it will be directly turned into a training base according to the training standards of special forces."

"Our brothers, even if we can't train as a special soldier, we must at least have an eight-pack abs, right?"

"Old Five's words are very true." After finishing the push-ups in twos and threes, Zhu Xing pushed up with both hands and bounced beautifully.He cast a disgusted glance at Zhu Bian who was panting like a dead dog on the ground: "Third brother, your body is a bit weak."

"Look at you, you are not even as good as the fifth child who happened to be sick. You have already decided to get married a few days ago, right? After the wedding night in the bridal chamber, how can you still have your wife's couch?"
