My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 38 Mu Xiu Yu Lin
Zhu Gaoxu built the Han Palace like a small castle, dividing it into an outer city and an inner city. People lived in the inner city, and the guards of the palace were stationed in the outer city.

When Zhu Zhanhe and Chang Wei came to the school grounds in the outer city, they saw two cavalrymen lined up on both sides, banners waving, and swords and guns everywhere.

Zhu Gaoxu was standing on the school field in iron armor, and behind him were two thousand households standing with their swords on their hands, a murderous aura soaring into the sky.

"Father!"

Zhu Zhanhe quickly stepped forward and saluted Zhu Gaoxu.

"Ah."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then noticed Chang Wei who was a little bit more aggressive than him.

"Are you the kid from the Chang family?"

Zhu Gaoxu sized Chang Wei up and asked.

"My lord, I am Chang Wei!"

Chang Wei also stepped forward to salute excitedly.

"That's right, he looks like a soldier!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then reached out to take out the two tokens, handed them to Zhu Zhanhe and said, "Take it, this is the token to mobilize the two soldiers, guards and horses, and they will be under your control from now on!"

"Father, I don't know soldiers, so it's useless to take this token, why don't you keep it for me!"

Zhu Zhanhe said very sincerely that he really has no interest in military affairs.

"I told you to take it, just take it, what nonsense?"

However, Zhu Gaoxu put the token directly into Zhu Zhanhe's hands. He is in a very bad mood now. After all, he carefully selected the three guards and horses and trained them himself. Even if he just handed them over to his son, he was very reluctant.

Then Zhu Gaoxu introduced the two thousand households behind him to Zhu Zhanhe, one of them was Zhou Cheng, and the other was Xu Lie. They were all Zhu Gaoxu's confidantes, and they followed Zhu Gaoxu through life and death in Jingnan.

Zhu Zhanhe was also very polite to the two thousand households, so it was no wonder that Zhu Gaoxu was willing to hand over the tokens. The two guards were all his people, and it didn't make much difference whether they had the tokens or not.

After the handover, according to the rules in the army, Zhou Cheng and Xu Lie each led their own soldiers to start performing martial arts.

Zhu Zhanhe's guards are all cavalry, so the drill also focuses on cavalry combat, interspersed with horsemanship, archery and other performances.

The battle drums roared on the school field, and the soldiers shouted to kill. Although it was a drill, there was still a murderous aura rushing towards them.

Even someone like Zhu Zhanhe who is not interested in military affairs can feel the blood in his chest start to boil at this moment.

When the soldiers finished their drill, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned to Chang Wei and asked, "Have you ever learned martial arts?"

"Learned!"

Chang Wei's face was already flushed with excitement, but when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's question, he immediately answered loudly with great excitement.

"Okay, are you interested in going down and practicing?"

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the school field and asked.

"I obey!"

Chang Wei was also not polite, and walked off the stage directly.

Someone brought a war horse, but Chang Wei didn't get on the horse immediately, but slapped the horse hard on the ribs, and the fierce horse galloped forward.

It wasn't until then that Chang Wei galloped forward, caught up with the horse in a few steps, and then flew onto the horse and sat firmly on the horse's back.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Wei took down the bow and arrow, and was a hundred steps away from the target, and directly opened the bow and set the arrow.

Just hearing a "swish", a long arrow hit the bull's-eye with a "bang" like lightning!
This was just the beginning, and then Chang Wei performed difficult moves such as side shots and back shots on the horse, but every arrow hit the bull's-eye.

When the surrounding soldiers saw such a magical skill, they all applauded, even Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

When one barrel of arrows was shot, Chang Wei reached out and snatched a long spear from a cavalryman, and practiced a set of marksmanship on the horse. A long spear was slapped by his dance, and the body of the spear could not be seen. .

Finally, Chang Weiwu rose up, turned over suddenly, and even jumped off the high-speed running horse.

But Chang Wei was not injured. Instead, he rolled over after landing, and then "kite turned over" jumped up, and then practiced a set of infantry marksmanship.

"Brother Chang is really good at martial arts, I didn't even know he had such abilities!"

Zhu Zhanhe looked excited, and couldn't help admiring repeatedly at this moment.

At this time, Chang Wei finally finished the drill, he threw down his spear and walked quickly to Zhu Gaoxu to salute: "Chang Wei wholeheartedly joins the army to serve the country, and is willing to serve under the prince's tent, please take him in!"

Zhu Zhanhe was also taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Chang Wei to seek refuge with his father, if he didn't time travel, wouldn't he be jumping into the fire pit?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe also turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu. In his opinion, Chang Wei should be favored by his father with such outstanding strength.

What I never expected was that Zhu Gaoxu shook his head coldly and said: "The Emperor Taizu and your grandfather Wang Kaiping discussed friendship in the same generation, and you and I are also in the same generation, so there is no need to mention service!"

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, without waiting for Chang Wei to say anything else, he turned around decisively and left without giving the other party a chance.

"This……"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Gaoxu's leaving back and was also confused: Could it be that Chang Wei is poisonous, so you don't want such an excellent general?

Taking refuge was rejected, Chang Wei's face was also flushed, the expression on his face fluctuated, and finally turned into a long sigh, and his tall and straight body suddenly hunched down.

"Don't blame my son, you are being rude!"

Chang Wei saluted Zhu Zhanhe dejectedly, then turned and left, his lonely back looked extremely lonely.

Zhu Zhanhe wanted to call the other party to stop, but he wanted to open his mouth several times but couldn't, because he didn't know what to say?
"My son can't figure out why the prince doesn't accept this Chang Wei?"

At this moment, Ma An, a dog-legged man, suddenly approached Zhu Zhanhe and asked in a low voice.

"You know why?"

Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Chang Wei who was walking away, and then asked Ma An.

"The villain does know something."

"Oh? Then tell me!"

Zhu Zhanhe stood up straight with his hands folded on his chest.

"Actually, the reason is not complicated. The Chang family was on the wrong team. Chang Wei's father, Chang Sheng, died on the battlefield of Jingnan. In the eyes of the prince, the Chang family was the enemy on the battlefield. How do you think the prince would use the enemy to fight against the enemy?" son?"

Ma An explained softly again.

"Wait, you said before that Chang Wei has a bad reputation in our circle, and Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong don't like him either. Is this the reason?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly came to his senses and asked.

"My son is wise, that's exactly the case. Whether it's Duke Ying, Duke Cheng, or other nobles, they all follow Long Live Lord Jing Nan to raise troops and fight from Beijing to Jinling. The Chang family is ignorant of current affairs. Trying to stop the Heavenly Soldiers in vain, ended up ruining the family, if the Lord Long Live didn’t think about Kaiping King’s merits, I’m afraid the Chang family would have been ransacked and beheaded a long time ago!”

Chang Wei's matter is well known in the noble circle, but Zhu Zhanhe doesn't remember the past, so Ma An needs to remind him.

"I see, but Chang Wei is superb in martial arts and has a very calm temperament. He only needs a little training to become a good general. It would be a pity to abandon him."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded first, and then said regretfully.

"What the prince said is that Chang Wei was born with supernatural power, and he studied martial arts since he was a child. Since he was 15 years old, he has been looking for ways to join the army. If he is a mediocre person, he will accept it. It's a big storm, but Chang Wei's performance is too eye-catching, who knows if he will avenge his father? Others are worried about raising a wolf cub, so no one is willing to take him in."

Ma An added with a hey smile.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty consisted of two parts, one part was the founding fathers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, but most of these people were killed by Lao Zhu, and part of them were wiped out by Zhu Di when Jing Nan was in trouble.

As if they had made an appointment, the Zhu family almost wiped out all the founding heroes. Even if some of the founding heroes still retained their titles, most of them were marginalized and had no real power.

Therefore, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are mainly Jing Nan heroes who followed Zhu Di. These people hold the power in the army. As long as they don't let go, Chang Wei has no chance to enter the army and make contributions.

"A tree that is as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

Zhu Zhanhe said with emotion.

If Chang Wei's performance was not so good, those nobles might not care about it, but now the more Chang Wei behaves, the more wary others are, and even Zhu Gaoxu is unwilling to use him.
