Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 70
After seeing off Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy when he lay down on the couch.

"Wu, what's wrong with our son, the dignified prince and Prince Daming, you still despise him so much!"

"You don't know what your son is like?" Empress Ma brought him a bowl of hangover soup and said, "Don't look at me helping you to persuade Tiande, but I'm really worried that the fourth child doesn't know how to cherish it. Come on, the second child will be like that." Hey, how can I, a mother-in-law, have the face to face my daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah, actually, I'm also worried. That kid is just at a time of uncertainty, and he's so impetuous all day long. He feels that such a big palace can't accommodate him." Zhu Yuanzhang slurped his body while drinking soup and said:

"I told you that life is so good that we don't know the blessings in the blessings. If our parents told us a daughter-in-law back then, it wouldn't be treated as an ancestor."

"Hehe, is it..."

"Of course, it's a good thing we didn't say anything, otherwise how could we marry you?" Emperor Hongwu, who had a strong desire to survive, rushed to make amends before Queen Ma changed his face.

"Hmph..." Empress Ma sneered, too lazy to argue with him.He was also a little worried and said: "But it is true, the children are all grown up, and they are locked up in the palace like a big lady all day long, can they not feel sick?"

"That's right, we want to go together." Zhu Yuanzhang regained his energy immediately, put the soup bowl on the small table, sat up and said:

"Ma'am, why don't we let them go out to practice and practice?"

"What kind of training method?" Empress Ma said alertly, "Why do you want to torment them?"

"I don't want to, we've been thinking about it for a while, the old Zhu family's country can't be relied on by anyone, but in the end it depends on his son." Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his legs and said.

"Aren't you all sealed off?"

"What's the use of being enfeoffed and not worthy of virtue? Will you be able to command the army in the future? Will you be able to sympathize with the people when you arrive in the vassal state?" Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly: "Our feudal kings have always faced huge criticism. , if they are fatuous and brutal, those people will definitely take the opportunity to attack them, and it will shake our Zhu family."

"So we have to train them well. Just sitting in the main hall and studying is not enough."

"Okay, okay, it's all your reason." Empress Ma asked, "Just tell me where you want them to go?"

"Fengyang, our hometown." Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang had premeditated.

"What are you doing back home? To be an officer? Or to be a county magistrate?" Empress Ma looked unconvinced.

"The way of civil and martial arts needs to be practiced, but it's too early. They don't know what ordinary soldiers think, so they can't be good officers. They don't know the hardships of the people, and it's impossible for us to train them with old folks!" Zhu Yuanzhang said deeply. Said: "We want them to be farmers! Be the most ordinary people..."

"..." Empress Ma's mouth grew wide open. She had long been familiar with her husband's unconstrained imagination, but she was still shocked.

It took a long while to pinch him.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Boss Zhu quickly avoided it.

"I'm not dreaming." Empress Ma said, "How can you talk in your sleep?"

"How do you talk in your sleep?"

"Why is it not a dream, have you ever heard of the emperor who asked his son to farm?"

"We listened to the lectures of the gentlemen, but those emperors and princes who know how to live among the people and know the sufferings of the common people are not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said plausibly: "On the contrary, those who were born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women The prince, when he grows up, most of them will be similar to Emperor Hui of Jin, and he doesn't even know how ordinary people live, let alone show compassion for the common people!"

"We can't let our son not be able to tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, thinking that ordinary people are like them, and can eat meat if they don't eat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively: "Our son must make up for this lesson!"

"I have no objection to letting them suffer a bit, but there must be no danger." Empress Ma finally let go.

"That's what we say, our sons are precious to us." Zhu Yuanzhang patted his chest and said, "Fengyang's folk customs are simple and simple, and we are exempted from the taxes and labors of the fellow villagers. It is not an exaggeration to say that our hometown is a piece of paradise now, and it is suitable for our son to go. Understand the people's sentiments. Besides, we still have arrangements to ensure their safe return."

"Okay, who do you plan to let go? How long?" Queen Ma asked again.

"All those who committed crimes last time will go. We have something to say first, and they have nothing to say." Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation: "If we go, we will set off in a few days, and we can still catch up with the spring plowing, and we will come back after the autumn harvest."

"So soon? So long?" Queen Ma was reluctant again.

"If you don't experience a complete spring planting and autumn harvest, how dare you say that you have been a farmer?" Zhu Yuanzhang took it for granted.

"I won't say anything else, the sixth child is still too young, let him go with the younger brothers next time." Empress Ma said.

"We started herding cattle for rich man Liu when we were seven years old. He is twelve years old, and he is still the chief culprit. If he doesn't go, who will he go?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Besides, he should go too, little fat man I’m sure you’ll lose weight when you come back.”

"Well, at least you have to let him decide for himself. If the sixth child really doesn't want to go, you can't force it. The child is still young, and I can't stand it..." Empress Ma took a step back and said, "Besides, the sixth child is eleven, not twelve. .”

"Haha, it's fine as long as it's not too bad, there are too many sons, there's no way haha!" Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head in embarrassment. "Success, let him decide for himself!"

~~
The couple of the Tian family have discussed it, and the matter is considered settled.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't announce it to the prince immediately, but asked his foster son to accompany him to ride a horse in the southern suburbs.

Zhu Yuanzhang has more than 20 adoptive sons, most of whom were adopted when he first joined the army.It's not that he was anxious because he couldn't have a son, in fact, this is a tradition in the peasant army.

The general adopts the orphans of the brothers who died in battle, which can not only make the soldiers have no worries, but also cultivate a group of confidants who are absolutely loyal to them.Fight tiger brothers, fight father and son soldiers.

The same is true of Zhu Yuanzhang. He carefully taught these adopted sons martial arts and military art, and when they grew up, he ordered them to lead the army, guard the place, and monitor the army.

Among them, the most outstanding representatives are Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying.Others who are not so famous, such as He Wenhui, Xu Sima, Zhu Wengang, etc., were also entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Yuanzhang to leave the town. They can be said to be his confidantes.

Although in order to avoid possible troubles in the future, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all his adopted sons to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and no longer follow his surname Zhu.But he and his adopted sons are still called father and son, and have not changed their identity.

This peace is the smallest one.In the first year of Hongwu, his father, Jiningwei Commander, settled the matter, and died in battle while following Chang Yuchun in conquering Yuan Dadu. Zhu Yuanzhang accepted him as his adopted son and ordered him to inherit his father's position. He was promoted to Fengyang a few years ago. Guard Commander.

Ping An came to Beijing this time to thank Zhu Yuanzhang for New Year's greetings. He was supposed to return to Fengyang a few days ago, but he was left until today...

At first he thought he had committed something, but it turned out that he wanted to accompany his adoptive father to ride a horse.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested today. He led his horse to gallop for more than 20 miles in one breath, throwing all the guards and soldiers who followed him far away.

"Father, do you want to wait for them?" Ping An asked loudly.

"Wait, there is Ping Baoer, who is the brave champion of the three armies, who can hurt us?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively, and said with pride: "Let's go up to Niu Shou Mountain!"

Ping'an and Cao Guogong have the same nickname, they are both called Bao'er.

"Decree!" Ping Baoer's blood boiled immediately, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang up the winding mountain path, over several mountain ridges, all the way to the top of the mountain.
