People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 408 Xu Da’s temptation, Wang Baobao’s life

For the Xu family, Xu Da is their god and the backbone of the family.

The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing.

If Duolingshan is defeated, maybe Xu Da will die, maybe not.

But his reputation will definitely take a huge hit.

Zhang Yi saved Xu Da, which was equivalent to saving the Xu family.

Xie Shi, Xu Miaoyun, finally understood why Xu Da insisted on inviting Zhang Yi over to hold a family banquet.

The whole family gathered together and toasted to him.

Zhang Yi had no choice but to pour him another glass of wine and drink it all in one gulp.

"readily!"

After a few glasses of wine, Xu Da became more and more pleased with Zhang Yi. The two of them exchanged glasses, one for you and one for me, and they drank happily.

Zhang Yi's drinking capacity is average, after all, his body does not allow himself to bear so much alcohol.

But he had the skill of persuading people to drink, which made Xu Da drink much more than he did.

After three drinks, the people at the table had already dispersed.

Mr. Xie personally took the child and left here.

Only the girl from the Xu family sat aside and waited.

"Then don't drink, you two..."

"Girl, don't worry, I'm happy today..."

Xu Da said he was happy, but he cried, which shocked the Xu family girl and Zhang Yi.

Great general, cry whenever you want.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault... If I hadn't underestimated the enemy, why would my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty die because of me?

I, Xu Da, am ashamed of my trust in the emperor and my trust in the soldiers..."

This time I drank to drown my sorrows, but I cried sincerely.

The Xu family girl was about to persuade her, but Zhang Yi held her hand.

Her body froze and her pretty face flushed.

"Psychologically speaking, it's a good thing to let him vent...

Make him cry! "

Zhang Yi sighed, so-called famous generals are also human beings.

Behind the scenes that have not been recorded in history books, these people do not know how much pressure they must bear.

He poured wine for Xu Da, and Xu Da poured it into his mouth one cup at a time!

Not long after, the general finally lay down on the table, unconscious.

The girl of the Xu family called the servant and carried Xu Da back to the room to rest. Zhang Yi looked at the moonlight outside and knew that he could not go back.

This meal took a long time, and it was long past curfew.

The Xu family girl said:
"I'll arrange a place for you!"

It's not difficult to keep a guest in Xu Mansion, which is a big place.

The Xu family girl personally sent Zhang Yi to the room and prepared to leave.

"If you're not sleepy, tell me what happened in the Ming Dynasty in the past three years!"

Zhang Yi offered to stay. The Xu family girl thought about it and decided that she would not refuse.

She thought for a moment, and first filtered out the assassination that had caused a sensation in Yingtian, but was suppressed by the emperor.

Xu Jiaya's mind was spinning wildly, filtering out what he could say to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi listened quietly and was trying to distinguish between these contents and which ones were different from the history books.

These are all changes caused by the butterfly effect, which he must pay attention to.

Zhu Biao and Chang got married, but Zhu Xi refused to marry, and the life-long events of Zhu Fan and Zhu Di remained unfinished.

Li Shanchang was still serving as prime minister in the court, because he fell seriously ill in the fourth year of Hongwu, but his life was saved by allicin, so he was able to work for two more years...

Allicin is his public secret recipe. Although not everyone knows it now, at least it is no longer an expensive medicine.

……

Zhang Yi listened quietly to all the changes. In his opinion, some of these changes were good and some were bad.

But change itself is always good.

Although nothing in this world remains unchanged, his appearance has become the one who speeds up the timeline.

This feeling of being able to change the world bit by bit is Zhang Yi's best sobering medicine.

Taking advantage of his youth, the alcohol in his body gradually evaporated and he became sober.

The girl from the Xu family chatted with him for who knows how long.

Zhang Yi felt that he was almost sober.

He looked back at Xu Miaoyun. This girl who was supposed to be Queen Xu seemed to have really changed her destiny against the will of heaven.

He clearly showed her the way, but she didn't want to go.

Well, if Zhu Laosi doesn't want him, I...

A terrible thought flashed through Zhang Yi's mind... He quickly shook his head, realizing that he had still drunk too much.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Xie was taking off Xu Da's shoes, trying to make her husband sleep peacefully.

Xu Da suddenly sat up straight, startling Mrs. Xie.

"Master, you scared me to death..."

"Where's Zhang Yi?"

Xu Da didn't know who he thought of and sobered up.

"He was arranged to stay in the guest room for the night, and the girl took him there..."

"Is the girl back?"

"I asked the servant to look at it just now and said they were chatting in the yard!"

"It's a good thing he didn't leave, it almost delayed the business!"

Xu Da remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and no longer cared about being drunk.

He jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and went out again.

Zhang Yi and the girl from the Xu family were chatting when they suddenly saw Xu Da appearing in the yard.

The girl from the Xu family immediately turned red:

"Dad, I am discussing Taoism with him..."

She looked like she didn't have 300 taels of silver here. Xu Da didn't bother to expose her. Xu Da walked up to Zhang Yi and said solemnly:

"Master Zhang, I have some personal questions that I would like to ask you!"

private question?

Zhang Yi turned around and glanced at the girl from the Xu family. She had already run away...

Her embarrassed look made Zhang Yi feel ripples in his heart.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, can I still have a chance to avenge my shame?"

Zhang Yi looked at the unwilling Xu Da, thoughtfully.

The so-called avenging shame is to find Wang Baobao and defeat him again?
When he recalled the memories of his previous life, he couldn't seem to find this one?
Xu Dahongwu patrolled the border for six years and defeated the Yuan army again, but he didn't seem to meet Wang Baobao, who wanted to avenge his shame.

Zhang Yi understands Xu Da's pain. This is a mistake he made, but it is difficult to make up for it.

The so-called life is unhappy, nine times out of ten.

Probably so.

"General, you have accomplished some great service by going here, but the person you asked for may not have a chance to fight with you!

Moreover, God does not have much time left for you..."

Since he wants to be a magic stick, Zhang Yi will naturally not be stingy in giving advice.

"Is it because I'm not going to die soon?"

Xu Da's voice trembled. Didn't this guy predict that his son would die, and then he would die himself?

Zhang Yi smiled hoarsely:
"Uncle, if you die, who will give Mrs. Xu the son and two daughters? Where do you want to go?"

"I'm confused!"

Xu Da patted his head and apologized with a wry smile.

"Wait, you mean, Wang Bao's life has been saved for a long time?"

"Two years later, it will be the death of the Northern Yuan Qi King...

So, uncle, you may not have a chance! "

In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, Wang Baobao died of illness!
It's the so-called God's will to trick people.

When Xu Da heard this prophecy, he couldn't calm down for a long time...

This was the information Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to inquire about, but unfortunately the answer was beyond the expectations of both the emperor and his ministers.

The biggest opponent is checkmate.

This is definitely great news for Daming.It's just that Xu Da felt empty in his heart. If Lingbei hadn't been defeated, he would probably be very happy...

Zhang Yi yawned and found Xu Da dumbfounded.

"I'm too drunk, so I'll take my leave now!"

Sober, but still sleepy.

Zhang Yi could barely hold on while chatting with the girl from the Xu family.

Xu Da reacted and quickly said:

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. This news is very important to me, Ming Dynasty..."

Zhang Yi waved his hand, entered the room, and fell asleep.

Xu Da thought for a while and went back to sleep.

"Wake me up early tomorrow morning, I want to enter the palace immediately,"

After he finished explaining, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, at midnight, Xu Da got up early.

There were not many people on the streets of Yingtian Mansion.

It's just that many officials started to get up at this time, and then after washing, they went to the entrance of the palace to wait for the palace to open.

Xu Da went out early and then found a special channel to enter the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already gotten up at this time and was preparing to go to court.

"Is this what Zhang Yi said?"

The emperor had long known that Xu Da hosted a banquet with Zhang Yi yesterday, but the Jin Yiwei did not monitor the content of their conversation.

Hearing that Wang Baobao only had two years left to live, the emperor's expression was uncertain.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

So, how much value does this person have left?

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit Wang Baobao again, his heart calmed down at this time.

"It's a pity that a generation of heroes can't escape God's plan after all!

I don’t know when people like you and me will be taken away by God! "

Lao Zhu is well aware of his longevity.

But this does not prevent him from lamenting the impermanence of fate.

"Since Wang Bao's life has been saved for a while, I, Daming, can make some preparations for this matter..."

Lao Zhu is a cold emperor. He can lament Wang Baobao's death, but he will also take advantage of Bei Yuan's weakness to stab him.

Lao Zhu has already experienced too many sweet experiences in seizing information from the future.

"Now that you know it, you should know what to do?
In the eighth year of Hongwu, maybe I, the Ming Dynasty, can organize another Northern Expedition...

Wash away your shame today! "

Wang Baobao's death, whether due to illness or other reasons, is not important.

An important death, his death will cause some chaos to Bei Yuan.

If Daming did not seize this chaotic opportunity, he would naturally miss a good opportunity.

But if it takes two years, no, it should take more than a year to prepare. Even if the strategic goal cannot be achieved, it can at least cause Beiyuan to be severely damaged.

Xu Da understood the importance of this matter and took a deep breath.

"My lord, I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's trust!"

"Please spend time with your family. It's not easy for you to come back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da on the shoulder and said that businessmen leave lightly. In fact, this is not the case for generals.

"You don't have to go to court for a while. In a month, you will go back to the north to patrol the border for the Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da a concession, and Xu Da nodded.

"Zhang Yi, what do you think?"

Lao Zhu suddenly changed the subject and asked about another matter. Xu Da was about to answer seriously, but saw Lao Zhu's playful expression.

Only then did he realize that the emperor's question had another meaning.

He chuckled:

"I like this kid!"

Needless to say Zhang Yi's affinity, as long as they are not naturally opposed to him, most people can be impressed by his smooth way of doing things.

However, he looks like a child, and his cunning is successfully concealed by his age.

"I see that Miaoyun child seems to approve of him very much. Forget it, let's just follow my daughter's wishes...

Your Majesty, if you are fine, I will go back!

To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I drank a little too much yesterday and I haven’t completely sobered up yet! "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:

"Understood, you go!"

Xu Da didn't even go to the morning court and went home directly.

Lao Zhu watched Xu Dayan go away, and then the smile on his face faded.

His face turned blue and white for a while. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Father, is it a pity to protect the king?"

Zhu Biao had been unable to say anything just now, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. He knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts best.

Wang Baobao was destined to become something Zhu Yuanzhang would regret.

"It's true, God is jealous of talents. Such a catastrophe, but after all, you can't escape God's manipulation!"

Zhu Biao nodded as he thought of his possible fate.

"but……"

Lao Zhu's voice gradually became colder:

"This might not mean that God is favoring our Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will move its capital, and the situation in the north must be stabilized. The best case scenario is to uproot the Han court in the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

It is now the sixth year of Hongwu, and there are not many years left before the ten-year agreement I made for myself..."

Zhu Biao nodded. Time flew by and it was already three years later.

In the past three years, the state machinery of the Ming Dynasty has been in action to move the capital.

The development of the Xuanwu Army also ensured the smooth movement of the capital to the northern grain road.

Zhu Yuanzhang set three major prerequisites for moving the capital. One is that the war situation in the north is stable, and the second is the security of food routes and control of the south.

After the Xuanwu Army cleared the islands in the East China Sea, the movements of Japanese pirates and pirates were greatly restricted in the East China Sea.

Except for a few Japanese pirates who traveled south from Liaodong along the coast, most of the other Japanese pirates intruded in Fujian and Guangdong.

Last year's second Northern Expedition was also the emperor's effort to move the capital.

It's just that the Northern Expedition failed, but the main Mongolian force is still there. If Wang Baobao survives, he will hang in the north with the Mongolian army, which will also be a lot of pressure for the Ming Dynasty.

If the opportunity of Hongwu's eight years can be taken advantage of, another condition for the Ming Dynasty to move the capital will also be met.

Next, there is the last condition, complete control of the south...

"If Wang Baobao is going to die, then Guanyin Slave will have no use value..."

Zhu Biao thought of Guanyin Slave Dao who was trapped in Qingxin Temple.

"It's not that she has no value. The value of her existence may anger some people..."

"Father, you are using the Zhang family's younger brother as bait..."

Zhu Biao instantly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and Lao Zhu replied:

"Don't worry, I will take good care of his safety, but as for my reputation, I owe him..."

Lao Zhu was indifferent, with a hint of smile.

The fate of Guanyin Nu was also decided in the midst of conversation and laughter.

After losing the protection of Wang Baobao and refusing to become the Zhu family's wife, Zhu Yuanzhang had no reason to give her any protection.

Zhang Yi didn't know that he had been betrayed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When he woke up, it was already daylight.

In ancient times, this was definitely going to bed late and getting up late.

"Makoto, are you awake?"

Zhang Yi walked out and saw that the Xu Mansion actually sent a maid to wait for him, and she came up to change his clothes.

"Master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

The maid said after changing her clothes.

Xu Da, won’t he go to court?Still have returned from the court.

There was a trace of doubt in Zhang Yi's mind, but he didn't think much about it.

Under the guidance of the maid, he found Xu Da who was eating breakfast.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, come here!"

Xu Da called Zhang Yi enthusiastically. After sitting down, Xu Da suddenly asked:
"Zhenzhen Zhang, have you ever been engaged?"
