Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 381 Lu Ben beats the Lu family, and the great navy advances into the inland rivers of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Di pushed the news northward and was about to return to Beijing.

Quickly detonate the entire Jinling.

Amid the heated discussion among the people, Lu Ben hurried to the East Palace, where the prince's side concubine Lu's bedroom was.

Seeing Lu Ben's worried face, Mrs. Lu couldn't help being surprised and stood up quickly, "Father, why are you here?"

My father returned to Beijing with the King of Qin, Zhu Ping.

It's still early before the New Year.

But his father left his post without permission and suddenly returned to Beijing.

This in itself is bad.

It was because of this relationship with the prince that the powerful officials in the court saw it, so they pretended not to see it.

But after his father came back, he tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Lu Ben looked at the maids and eunuchs waiting on the left and right sides of the palace.

Mrs. Lu understood, waved her hand, and dismissed everyone.

"Father, if you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Lu Ben sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Zhu Silang will be back soon, and then the prince will definitely go to greet him..."

Mrs. Lu listened carefully.

Definitely.

When Xu Miaoyun and her daughter returned to Beijing, the prince and concubines went to Hongwumen to greet them.

The last time the observation group came back, the prince went to the pier to greet them.

Zhu Silang made great fanfare all the way and returned with two hundred naval warships and an entire army town.

The world shakes.

The prince will definitely lead the civil and military officials of the court to go to the Qinhuai River to greet him.

……

"You must find a way to let Yunwen stay with the prince..."

When Lu heard this, her thoughts were interrupted and she looked at Lu Ben in confusion.

Lu Ben smiled and said: "This was Hu Weiyong's idea..."

it's actually really easy.

After being away for so many years, Zhu Xiongying must have longed for fatherly and motherly love in his heart, but when he got off the boat, he saw the prince holding his Qilin son of the Lu family.

How will you feel in your heart?
Zhu Xiongying is nine years old!

Learned a lot of things.

At the same time, it is also the most rebellious period.

It made Zhu Xiongying feel resentful towards the prince. In addition, Zhu Xiongying imitated Zhu Silang's domineering behavior, which was not liked by the prince.

Over time, the father-son relationship between the prince and Zhu Xiongying will most likely deteriorate.

Yunwen's opportunity has just come!
Dang!

The stool fell to the ground.

Lu was startled and looked at Lu Ben in shock. Her face was pale, and her bloodless lips moved slightly several times before her trembling voice came out: "Father...Father, what do you want...to do?"

Why do you want to alienate and destroy the relationship between the prince and Xiongying?
She is not as smart as Xu Miaoyun.

But he’s not a fool either!

"I don't agree! I absolutely don't agree!"

Lu said anxiously in fear.

She just wanted the prince to love Yunwen more, so that when Yunwen was granted the title of vassal in the future, he could get a good land for the title.

She also wanted to avenge Zhu Silang's insult on her father's behalf.

But she never thought about letting Yunwen seek that position.

That's not Yunwen's at all.

If the father discovers it, everyone may die without a burial place.

"Father, as long as Yun Wen is loved by the Crown Prince, we will have endless glory and wealth. People can't be too greedy and greedy for things that don't belong to us..."

Snapped!
A slap hit Lu's face hard.

Lu Ben had a ferocious face and stared at Lu with red eyes, "Why don't you belong to us! Yun Wen is also the son of the prince, and he also has the blood of the royal family. He also has the blood of our Lu family, which has been a scholarly family for generations. Could it be that It’s not as good as the vulgar martial arts of the Chang family, which only became famous in this generation!”

He didn't dare to think about it before.

Until Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng proposed the alliance against Yan.

Until Hu Weiyong stayed behind the scenes and guided the anti-Yan alliance.

Until, Hu Weiyong used the employee share system to cooperate with Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng. When the business grew bigger and bigger, he saw an opportunity.

The future anti-Yan alliance will definitely recruit a large number of gentry, merchants, officials, and frustrated generals!
What a huge force this will be!

In the words of Hu Weiyong.

It would be a pity if such a huge alliance was only used to deal with Zhu Silang.

They can definitely use this alliance to accomplish greater things!

Send Yunwen to sit in that position.

The Lu family is the most noble family under the imperial power!
These words completely released the demonic thoughts he had been suppressing.

No matter how much he tried to control it, he couldn't.

"I'm telling you, even if you don't agree, you still pretend not to know. Things have already started to move. If you say it now, with Emperor Zhu's ruthlessness, many people will die. Our Lu family, you, and even allow Everyone will be implicated!"

Lu covered her face and looked at Lu Ben with a ferocious face in disbelief.

Is this still her father?

She has known since she was a child that her father is hypocritical.

But at least he has always been very elegant.

He has never been so ferocious and terrifying as he is now, and he seems to be a completely different person.

……

The night gradually fell.

The lively discussions in Jinling City moved from the streets and alleys to the small courtyard houses with warm lights and candles.

The undercurrent is also rising and falling under the cover of night.

……

Xu House.

The attic of the other courtyard.

Chunxiao, who has grown into a slim figure, supports Xu Miaoyun, who is about to give birth, back to the house.

After helping Xu Miaoyun remove her makeup and wash herself briefly, she helped Xu Miaoyun sit down on the bed and said with a happy smile: "Master's wife, according to the news, the master and the others will be back soon, and they should be able to catch up with the birth of the younger junior brother or younger sister."

Xu Miaoyun looked at the little girl she used to be, and now she has grown into a slim young girl.

He asked with a smile: "Geng Xuan has been stalking you all these years. What do you think?"

Since she came back, Chunxiao has been with her to take care of her.

Then, Geng Xuan would lick his face from time to time and find various excuses to come to Xu Mansion.

To put it bluntly, it’s just watching Chunxiao.

Chunxiao blushed slightly and lowered her head, "He is like a dog-skin plaster. He won't go away even if he is chased or scolded. Master, I am also very annoyed..."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help laughing.

Although the little girl didn't say it clearly.

But the meaning behind the words is very clear.

He reached out to hold Chunxiao's hand and said with a smile: "This time, when your master comes back, Minfeng and Dongxu are getting married. You are the three oldest among all the children. You have also reached the age of marriage. Don't think they are being grudges." The rich and powerful families are in a higher class. In our village, every family is living a prosperous life. Even if you two are together, we don’t need the Geng family to support us at all, and we don’t need to ask the Geng family!”

"You are so good, what is there to be afraid of? If you think Geng Xuan is okay, then be brave. A woman's happiness must be achieved by herself. If you miss it, you may really miss it..."

Chunxiao gradually looked up.

When Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, she curiously asked: "Master, when you married yourself, did you just believe that the master can give you happiness?"

Xu Miaoyun glared at the little girl with a smile.

At the beginning, she felt that even if she followed Shiro as a farmer, she would still be a farmer.

As long as you have a backbone and a heart.

It's a bit tiring at first.

But the days to come will definitely be the same.

But she didn't expect that Shiro would make her as happy as she is now.

"Your master was not as shameless as Geng Xuan back then!"

"Master, can it be the same? What was the master's situation at that time, and what is Geng Xuan's situation now..."

Teachers and students chatted for a while.

Chunxiao said: "Master's wife, after my junior brother or sister is born, I plan to go to practice medicine all over the world..."

Xu Miaoyun knew it as soon as she heard it.

Geng Xuan has been stalking her for so many years, and the little girl is moved.

But this girl is smart, rational and calm.

I don't want to make a hasty decision.

After all, men can be irresponsible when they get married.

Once a woman chooses a man, good or bad will last her a lifetime.

Xu Miaoyun nodded, "Master's Wife supports you. When the time comes, Master's Wife will help you get an ultimatum from His Majesty..."

Moreover, perhaps other children are also willing to travel and experience the people of the Ming Dynasty, leaning on bamboo poles and carrying book boxes.

The children have been practicing martial arts and literature for many years, and it’s time to go out and see.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

……

After chatting for a while.

Seeing the tiredness on Xu Miaoyun's eyebrows, Chunxiao said hurriedly: "Master's wife, it's time. You should rest. I'll sleep outside. If you feel any discomfort, just pull the bell wire."

"I'm pregnant this time. You arranged it for me clearly. I don't know how many people envy me to have a student like you."

Chunxiao smiled and helped Xu Miaoyun lie down.

People tend to only envy what others have.

But never observe what others have and do.

Without the guidance of master and mistress.

She might just be a village girl who doesn't understand anything. She gets married when she's old enough, and then spends her whole life having children without knowing anything.

What cognitive concepts and values ​​may be impossible to understand in a lifetime.

What happened to her taking care of the mistress?

She will never forget when she and Minfeng were about to leave the village with Master Wang.

My wife just gave birth to little Qihua and little Yongming.

They were talking in the hall.

When the master's wife heard that they were leaving, she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find various books for her and Minfeng, regardless of the fact that she was weak from confinement.

These books are not found randomly.

They were carefully selected by the mistress.

Suitable for them to read while away from home.

Those books taught them how to get along with a group of strangers in a strange environment without being humble or arrogant, and how to fight back politely when bullied.

After leaving Tuqiao Village.

Master Wang taught them medical skills.

But the teacher's wife kept carefully selecting them for them, and the books sent by others grew up with them and taught them how to behave.

There was also money prepared by the master's wife for them before leaving in case of emergencies.

……

She was able to transform from a village girl to now possessing medical skills that even the ladies of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are seeking to visit.

Able to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil.

All were taught by masters and mistresses.

How many people can do these things like a master or a mistress?

……

Xu Miaoyun watched Chunxiao go out, gently closed the door, and looked back.

He reached out and touched his bulging belly, "Dad will be back soon..."

The voice just sounded.

Xu Miaoyun's face instantly turned pale, and in just a short moment, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Xu Miaoyun tried to exhale and inhale hard to calm the pain. Her voice trembled and she softly comforted: "Let's wait for Dad for a few more days. Don't let Dad think you are a debt collector..."

Ah!
Before she finished speaking, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Squeak!

"Master's wife, what's wrong?" Chunxiao heard the commotion, opened the door and rushed in. When she saw Xu Miaoyun's condition, she ran to the bed and grabbed Xu Miaoyun's wrist to check the pulse.

After a moment, he released his fingers and said, "Master's wife, you are about to give birth, please continue to take a deep breath."

Chunxiao left in a hurry.

Soon, the entire Xu Mansion was alarmed.The midwife had already been invited to the house to cooperate with Chunxiao in assisting the birth, and the maids were busy coming in and out.

……

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just arrived at Kunning Palace, sat down by the bed, was about to take off his shoes, and asked: "Is our eldest granddaughter asleep?"

"sleep……"

"My lord, my lord..."

As soon as Ma Xiuying's voice rang out, the palace maid hurriedly rushed in and said urgently: "There is news from the Xu Mansion that the princess is giving birth."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily and said: "This little guy is also eager to come out and greet the fourth bastard!"

He stood up as he spoke.

The fatigue of a busy day also disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Get ready now and show off to the Xu Mansion!"

……

"Ah... you are really a debt collector. You can't even wait for daddy for a few more days..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying rushed to the Xu Mansion. As soon as they walked into the brightly lit courtyard with busy people going in and out, they heard Xu Miaoyun's complaints in pain.

The two couldn't help but smile and walked quickly to Xu Da, "Tiande, how is the situation?"

Only then did Xu Da notice Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and he hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, when are you doing these nonsense, tell us how the situation is." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands angrily.

Xu Da replied: "This is already the third child, and Chunxiao is also in it, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying nodded.

Chunxiao, this girl, has medical skills and knows how to deliver babies.

In recent years, there have been several women in Zhuzi Lane who had difficult deliveries and left midwives helpless. This girl was the one who successfully delivered the babies.

This is girl Miaoyun's student.

Definitely do their best than anyone else.

Indeed, there is no need to worry too much.

……

It’s approaching midnight...

Wow……

When everyone started to get anxious, a loud baby cry suddenly came from the attic.

call!
In the other courtyard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"gave birth!"

"Finally gave birth!"

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and others were talking happily to themselves. Not long after, Chunxiao came out and ran down from the attic with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, my Master, my Master has given birth successfully, he is a big fat boy."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with a straight face, "You little girl, what kind of master is Xu Da? We are your master. Don't call me wrong in the future!"

This girl can carry it clearly.

When walking outside, this relationship has never been used.

Chunxiao smiled and lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and glared, and said: "We have been hesitant before whether to add a female subject to the medical examination. It was you who strengthened my master's determination to promote female subjects..."

Before, he was thinking about it and taking another look.

Look at the attitude of people in the world towards women practicing medicine.

He didn't want to see it now.

A girl who has medical skills and is good at delivering babies.

For the women of Ming Dynasty, it is very important!
Population is both a burden and an indispensable resource for a dynasty.

There are many girls like Chunxiao.

The situation of children dying at birth will definitely change.

If Chunxiao had already left school when the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to Yunxi, perhaps the eldest daughter-in-law would not have suffered from the disease that would make her unable to have children again.

Now the direct branch of Biao'er's lineage.

There are only two children, Xiongying and Yunxi.

Moreover, many women's diseases are inconvenient for men.

But there is no taboo among girls like Chunxiao.

Chunxiao was very happy and thanked her, "Chunxiao, on behalf of all the women in the world who want to study medicine like Chunxiao, thank you Master!"

Being a doctor is not a noble profession.

Not as good as being an official.

But who in the world dares to disrespect the doctor?

A girl like her who came from a humble background now has a respected way out.

This is something that women have never experienced in thousands of years.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Chunxiao.

Laosi and Miaoyun girl taught well!
He was certain that this girl would follow Lao Si and the others out to sea, and Lao Si would take care of it and write a book for the girl.

Just like Yang Dongxu.

After deciding not to take the Ming Dynasty imperial examination.

He was appointed as the military preparation officer by Lao Si.

When Xiongying wrote back during the Chinese New Year, he mentioned that the fourth child privately discussed with Miaoyun that as long as Yang Dongxu could make some achievements in technical research before the age of 25, he would encourage Yang Dongxu to continue to study technology, and even write a book for Yang Dongxu. Create a biography and become a sect!
Look like that.

If this kid Dongxu can really do something.

The Fourth Dare to raise Yang Dongxu's status overseas to the level of Confucius and Mencius.

At least, it was Cheng Zhu’s status.

This kind of apostasy, if left in the Ming Dynasty, would definitely arouse the criticism of scholars all over the world.

He didn't want to worry about the fourth child.

First of all, Lao Si’s overseas foundation was built by Lao Si himself.

It is the fourth child's freedom to do whatever he wants.

Secondly, he also wanted to see what impact Lao Si's troubles would have on the world.

……

After half an hour.

The maids tidied up the attic.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying and Xu Da went to the attic to visit.

Ma Xiuying talked with Xu Miaoyun.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the crib, looked at the little one inside, and said with a smile: "This little guy also wants to see the fourth child as soon as possible..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Miaoyun, "Have you two given this little guy a name?"

Xu Miaoyun was a little weak and shook her head, "Father, please give us a name."

The names of the children in the family have always been chosen by the father.

When she became pregnant, she was sent back to Aurous Hill so quickly that she and Shiro didn't have time to think of a name.

Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly happy.

He really didn't dare to make the decision easily for these two children.

After all, when Yongming and Qihua came, they were severely deflated.

"Gao Xu, Zhu Gaoxu, how are you?"

Xu Miaoyun pondered silently.

Xu means warmth, gentleness, elegance, sunshine, positivity, magnanimity, kindness to others, radiance, freshness and high spirits. It is a word with profound and beautiful connotations.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun pondering, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Xu Miaoyun would find it inappropriate, so he hurriedly explained: "The five elements of the character Xu belong to gold, and metal is the source of water. In the future, your family of four will develop in the world. Metal is the source of water, and gold Ge and water are compatible. Gao Xu can become Lao Si and Gao Chi’s right-hand man..."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang anxious to explain, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile to herself.

At first, I hurriedly named Qihua Yuying.

The young couple secretly and openly dislike each other.

This time, since Chongba learned that Miaoyun girl was pregnant again, he went to Qintian Prison to inquire carefully.

It took a long time to decide on this meaningful name.

Xu Miaoyun smiled weakly and thanked her: "My daughter-in-law thanks my father for giving Gao Xu the name."

……

The next day.

It was just dawn.

The news spread that Xu Miaoyun gave birth to another son for Zhu Di.

"Princess Yan gave birth safely!"

"I heard that King Yan gave birth to another son!"

"Many children bring blessings. The birth of a son has not yet come back to King Yan, which means a good thing!"

"I heard that Your Majesty named Prince Yan Gao Xu. The five elements of Xu belong to gold, and metal is the source of water. It is suitable for King Yan to stand on the four seas with artillery, warships, gold and iron horses!"

……

Three days later.

Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County, where the first division of the Ming Dynasty Navy was stationed, news came.

Zhu Di's navy arrived in Shanghai!
Ask for instructions to enter the inland rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to summon him: accurate!

a day later.

The warships of the Ming Navy turned back.

The eunuchs who accompanied him to deliver the order were dumbfounded as they stared at the giant, which was four feet high and 33 feet long, parked at the mouth of the sea.

After boarding the warship with trembling steps and a confused mind, he looked at the rows of black artillery placed on the deck and swallowed subconsciously.

When the King of Yan's navy sent the observation group back to Beijing, he accompanied the emperor and secretly left the palace to board the battleship of the King of Yan's navy to observe.

The artillery warship that shocked His Majesty at first was completely like a child's toy in front of this warship!

Will the people be frightened by the appearance of such a big giant in the Qinhuai River?
The emperor ordered the Yanwang navy warship to sail into the Qinhuai River and fire the cannon again.

This time, how many artillery pieces are there in total?

The eunuch looked at the continuous warships stretching across the sea behind the flagship, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He looked away and asked with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how many artillery pieces are there in the naval warship this time?"

The eunuch asked in a confused manner. Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and then replied: "This time, there are two hundred naval warships with a total of [-] artillery pieces!"

"what!"

The eunuch exclaimed.

After suppressing the shock, she swallowed hard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just four days ago the princess gave birth to a big fat boy for the prince..."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned and asked quickly: "Where is the princess? Is she safe?"

'Sure enough, people are right. The prince holds the princess in his hands and does not ask about the prince. Instead, he cares about the princess first. The prince is pitiful. '

The eunuch slandered at the same time, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, the princess, mother and son are safe."

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone who followed Zhu Di back behind him also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The eunuch continued: "Your Majesty, my servant is here to convey His Majesty's instructions. The warships of King Yan are allowed to enter the inland rivers, and the prince is ordered to arrange for the warships to fire the cannon again after arriving at Jinling."

"All warships, all artillery?" Yu Jing grinned and asked impatiently.

He was still thinking about how to get the court to agree.

Unexpectedly, the court actually requested it.

This is the pillow handed to me by Doze.

Their navy cannot participate in the Northern Expedition, but they still have the opportunity to demonstrate their martial virtue.

The purpose of coming back this time is to let the court and the world see the prince's power and surging martial virtue!
This was agreed upon by him, Tan Yuan, Jiang Jinzhong, and Shen Zhi.

Representing everyone from land and sea, civil and military, government, business and people!

The eunuch nodded hesitantly.

I'm afraid your Majesty also didn't expect that the prince's navy has fifteen hundred artillery pieces.

He couldn't imagine.

What a shocking sight will be produced when one thousand and five hundred artillery pieces roar down the Qinhuai River.

……

Zhu Di turned around and looked at everyone, "Instruct all the brothers on the warships to put on new military uniforms."

"As ordered!"

Yu Jing, Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others immediately accepted the order excitedly, turned around, and quickly passed Zhu Di's order with a smile.

Xu Huizu approached Zhu Di and said, "Brother-in-law, you are also wearing our new military uniform today, right?"

Until now, they have never seen their brother-in-law wearing a New Army uniform.

I’ve never seen my brother-in-law’s military uniform!
