Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"I was just guessing, I didn't really see anything."

Su Jing explained immediately.

He really didn't expect that what he said casually would turn out to be the truth.

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Miaoyun was very anxious and also found an imperial doctor. However, Xu Da himself was not too worried about his health.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang did not come to visit.

In fact, they all knew the reason for this, but they just didn't say it, or couldn't say it.

Xu Da said: "Su Jing, do you really don't know? Or do you mean that you don't want to talk to my uncle?"

Not only did Chang Yuchun praise Su Jing a lot, Zhu Yuanzhang also mentioned Su Jing many times in front of Xu Da.

Su Jing is extremely talented and far-sighted.

"What did Uncle Xu say? I'm here today just for your patients. It wouldn't be good if you mention anything else."

Su Jing replied, already regretting her talk.

Once you see your worries, you can just hide them in your heart. Why do you need to speak them out?

Xu Da said: "Since you called Uncle Xu today, it doesn't matter if you say it. Although the situation in the DPRK is complicated, I, Xu Da, am not afraid of anyone. It doesn't matter if you say it."

Xu Da naturally had his own confidence in saying this.

Although he doesn't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean he is afraid of trouble.

Su Jing paused and said, "Uncle Xu, then I will speak frankly."

Now that Xu Dadu has talked about this, Su Jing will naturally not continue to shirk it.

"But it doesn't matter."

Xu Da nodded and said, he wanted to see if Su Jing was really that smart.

Su Jing said calmly: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is basically stable now. Even if there are some worries, they are not out of place."

"But the most important place that needs to be focused on is still the north. With the great victory of the Northern Expedition, all the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were driven away, but their roots are still there, so the north is still the place that Ming Dynasty needs to reject most."

"I think that in today's Ming Dynasty, only Uncle Xu can take on this important task. As the general of the Ming Dynasty, you can defend Beijing and stop some invading enemies from the north."

"It's just that if this is true, then Uncle Xu, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Beijing for the rest of your life. After all, this doesn't happen overnight."

"Perhaps this is what Uncle Xu is worried about. Your Majesty must have mentioned this to Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu is not just one person, but a family. Uncle Xu has never thought about how to settle this, right? ?”

As Su Jing spoke slowly, Xu Da's expression gradually turned from surprise to shock.

The reason is naturally very simple. What Su Jing said is right.

Not long after returning from the Northern Expedition, Lao Zhu summoned Xu Da in private, analyzed the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, and expressed his intention to let Xu Da defend the north.

Of course, after all, he had just returned from a victory, so he was not so anxious to let Xu Da go there immediately. Instead, he gave him a mental preparation and thought about how to settle his family.

Should we take them all away or leave them in the capital?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da talked about this matter privately, and no third person knew about it.

Although the relationship between Su Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang is very good, it is impossible to compare with Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Besides, it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to tell Su Jing about Xu Da.

Therefore, this matter could only be guessed by Su Jing herself.

"Su Jing, you are really amazing!"

Xu Da sighed again.

No words can describe Xu Da's inner shock at this moment. He really admired Su Jing.

Su Jing looked at Xu Da and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm just talking casually, it doesn't mean anything."

Xu Da immediately said: "Just talking? Su Jing, do you really think that I, Xu Da, am a fool? Your analysis of the situation in Ming Dynasty is half correct, and you understand His Majesty's thoughts very well."

"If I hadn't known that Your Majesty would never reveal my story to anyone else, I would have suspected that you heard it from the sidelines."

Su Jing said: "Uncle Xu is joking. I just considered the current situation in Ming Dynasty and made reasonable speculations. Everything is well-founded and not based on groundless speculation. At most, I just think more than others." .”

In fact, Su Jing had long known that Xu Da would be sent to Beijing after the victory of the Northern Expedition and would be stationed in Beijing for a long time to resist foreign enemies.

Once you have the results, it will be much simpler to reverse the process.

Xu Da stared at Su Jing for a while and said, "I now understand why Your Majesty told me that he wanted to kill you many times."

"Su Jing, if your clever plan is not used by the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty!"

Su Jing smiled and said: "Maybe. Anyway, His Majesty is very kind to me now. I am also a member of the Ming Dynasty. Although I have not entered the court as an official, I will not become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty."

Su Jing had long been used to the fact that Lao Zhu wanted to kill her, and she didn't take it seriously anymore.

Xu Da smiled and said: "Su Jing, what do you think I should do now?"

Xu Da will never go beyond how deep the conversation should be.

So now he returned to the original question, how to solve his worries?

Su Jing thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Xu, I think you should already have the answer, but you just don't know how to tell it to your children."

Su Jing could clearly see the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no reason why General Xu Da couldn't see it clearly.

Xu Da nodded and said: "Yes, I know very well that it is a foregone conclusion to go to Beijing, but I really can't say it!"

As one of the first people to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da had gone through countless battles and visited countless places before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty was established, he was granted the title of Duke of Wei, which was natural.

Although I have to go out to fight now, I will always come back after the war and be reunited with my family.

And once stationed in Beijing, it is not that easy to return to Beijing to reunite with family.

Xu Da's children, the eldest is Xu Miaoyun, who is still young, let alone the other children.

Beijing is a bitter cold place, not comparable to this capital, and Xu Da will definitely not take them there.

In this way, it will be a long-term separation.

"Uncle Xu, Miaoyun is actually a very sensible child. You don't need to explain anything, she will understand naturally."

Su Jing comforted, while also carefully recalling in her mind how long Xu Da had been stationed in Peiping.

It doesn't matter if you recall this. It turns out that Xu Da didn't really return to Yingtian to discuss politics until the 13th year of Hongwu, that is, after Hu Weiyong was executed.

Although I returned to Beijing several times in the meantime, my time in the capital was very short. Basically, I just came back to report on my work and then left immediately.

On days like this, I really spend less time with my family and more time away from each other to a certain extent.

"Oh, Miaoyun is sensible, and I feel even more uncomfortable."

Xu Da sighed.

Su Jing didn't say anything else. He was an outsider, so it would be meaningless to say more about this kind of thing.

What Xu Da was worried about was not something he could solve.

At most, the improvement of firearms can enhance the combat power of some Ming armies, so that the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north can be wiped out as soon as possible and returned to the capital as soon as possible.

But, who can say accurately about this kind of war?

"Uncle Xu, that's about it for today. Since you're not in good health, I won't stay any longer and will go back first."

Su Jing saw that it was almost done, stood up and said to Xu Da.

Xu Da immediately said: "Su Jing, since you are here, let's have dinner before leaving."

After eating and leaving, it sounded like I was going back to my previous life to visit relatives.Staying for a meal is something that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

"No, Uncle Xu, you still need to rest. Let's do it next time. When you feel better, I will come to eat again."

Su Jing declined Xu Da's invitation to stay for dinner. He had stayed at Xu Da's house long enough.

Xu Da saw what Su Jing meant, nodded and said: "Then you can't refuse it next time, I won't give it away."

Su Jing left the inner hall and immediately met Xu Miaoyun and Xu Huizu who were waiting.

"Mr. Su, have you finished talking to your father? How is my father's health?"

Xu Miaoyun immediately asked Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and replied: "Uncle Xu has nothing to do, just rest and rest."

"That's good! Thank you, Mr. Su."

Xu Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, obviously not realizing that Su Jing called Xu Da differently.

Xu Huizu, on the other hand, looked at Su Jing stupidly and murmured: "Uncle Xu?"

"Okay, I have something else to do. I won't stay any longer. I'm leaving now."

Su Jing quickly left the Duke of Wei's mansion before the two of them could react.

He knew very well that even if he went out as soon as he came in, his whereabouts would definitely be known to the powerful people in the capital.

There is no way, who makes himself the focus of everyone now.

Although Lao Zhu agreed to his case, it was not completely settled yet.

In the palace of Duke Wei, Xu Huizu asked Xu Miaoyun: "Sister, did Mr. Su talk about Uncle Xu just now?"

Xu Miaoyun recalled it carefully and nodded: "It seems so, but how could Mr. Su call his father that way?"

The two of them were quite surprised by Su Jing's title of 'Uncle Xu'.

If it were an ordinary family, it would be normal for the younger generation to call the elder uncle.

But Xu Da is not an ordinary person. This is Wei Guogong, so he can't yell nonsense.

"I'll ask my father."

Xu Huizu couldn't figure it out, so he went to ask Xu Da directly.

Xu Miaoyun grabbed him and said, "If you have any questions, Mr. Su is not a person who doesn't know etiquette. Let me tell you. This is probably what our father asked Mr. Su to shout."

Xu Miaoyun had to understand his father.

Xu Huizu said in surprise: "Ah?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled proudly and said: "It's nothing to worry about. Mr. Su is a very human being. It's normal for my father to like him so much."

"Oh."

Xu Huizu said oh again.

"Since Mr. Su said that my father is fine, I think my father's illness will be cured soon. Good things come in pairs!"

Xu Miaoyun said happily.

Xu Huizu still couldn't understand that his sister's trust in Su Jing really reached the point where she didn't need a reason.

Su Jing, who left Duke Wei's Mansion, quickly returned to Su Mansion.

Naturally, Liu Banxian didn't come back at this time, and Su Jing wasn't in a hurry. She was just sitting alone in the house, figuring out what to bring with her when moving, and what to add to the new house.

Su Jing doesn't plan to make any big moves in that small courtyard, because she will still go back in the future, and she can't go back to stay in an inn.

Therefore, the furniture in the small courtyard was kept.

As for the objects for my own research, I have to take away some of the more convenient ones. If I can’t take them with me, there’s nothing I can do about it.

I also have to take all my theoretical materials with me.

Keep the rest.

Then there is the renovation of the house here. The entire project is not small.

Because in the small courtyard before, no matter what Su Jing did, it was just to add some objects in a small space.

But now, his various research laboratories can all be separated.

After all, the new house is so big, it would be a pity not to use it.

In this way, the interior of each research room can be designed according to its own needs.

If you think so, you have to come up with the design drawings quickly.

Su Jing had already thought about it, and took advantage of this month to complete the move and the design drawings for house renovation.

Then you can go out with Prince Zhu Biao to inspect the granaries in various places.

While I was away, the renovation of the house was going on at the same time. When I came back, it was ready for move-in and use. It was perfect!
However, if you calculate it this way, then he has a lot to do this month.

Su Jing hasn't had this busy feeling for a long time.

If you are used to living a leisurely life, there is nothing wrong with a change of pace.

As soon as she said it, Su Jing came to the study and started working directly.

If you want to do something, you always have to be diligent.

……

the other side.

Zhu Di's team was almost approaching the capital.

Lao Zhou's injuries are basically stable. Although he is not conscious yet, at least his life is safe.

Zhu Di was very anxious and didn't know what was going on in the capital.

Su Jing obviously knew the murderer, but did she tell her father?

If this matter is according to Zhu Di's thoughts, then no matter who the murderer is, he must be brought to justice and killed to serve as a warning to others!
However, before Zhu Di's troops entered the capital, a group of troops stood in front of them.

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, your Majesty has given a secret order that we will take over the case, and your Highness can enter the capital on your own."

The leader directly took out a token, which was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal token. As the prince, Zhu Di recognized it at a glance.

"why?"

Zhu Di knew he shouldn't ask, but he blurted it out anyway.

Because he really didn't understand. He had already escorted the prisoners to the gate of the capital, so why was he suddenly being taken over?

"His Majesty has never said the reason, but he also asked His Highness King Yan to hand over the criminal to us."

The leading sergeant looked indifferent and only knew how to execute orders.

Zhu Di glanced at the unconscious Lao Zhou behind him and said helplessly: "I know."

The only person who can come with Zhu Yuanzhang's personal token can only be ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

This is no different from Zhu Yuanzhang coming in person.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Soon, Lao Zhou was taken away directly by this group of people.

Zhu Di looked at the retreating figures of the group and could not do anything but continue to move towards the capital. (End of chapter)
