Seiwa

Zhu Zhanji put down his pen, looked at the picture he had just written, and was in a daze.

Zheng Li, the servant of the Imperial Academy who was ordered to teach him knowledge, said: "Your Majesty, when learning calligraphy, don't be distracted."

"What Zheng Shizhao said is very true, he is taught alone."

Zhu Zhanji bowed his head, took back his wandering thoughts, picked up his pen and ink again, and finished his homework.

In the middle of the journey, I couldn't help thinking that the Emperor's 26th Wei Grand Martial Arts Contest was a grand event, not to mention generals, concubines, eunuchs and palace people all talked about it.Even the civil servants in the court are quite concerned.

The emperor's grandfather and the two emperor's uncles had to be present every time, and the son of the King of Han was also brought along, but he always stayed in the side hall to study.

No, the imperial grandfather once asked him. How did he answer at that time?

Zhu Zhanji paused, which attracted Zheng Li's attention.

"My son, you should concentrate on practicing calligraphy."

But this time, Zhu Zhanji didn't come back to his senses immediately, but became even more fascinated.

He told his grandfather to concentrate on learning.

With a sigh, since you have expressed your thoughts, what else is there to regret?

Thinking of the map hanging in Qianqing Palace, which was said to be returned by Xing Ningbo himself, the fingers holding the pen gradually clenched.

If he wanted to copy that map and learn from Uncle Xingning together with the son of King Han, would his grandfather agree?

I'm afraid, no way...

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's mind was not on practicing calligraphy at all, Zheng Li frowned.

Since His Majesty entrusted him with the responsibility of teaching Prince Ping's son, he must not slack off!

Just as he was about to speak admonishing him, he was stopped by Lu Shizhao.

"My son has something on his mind, don't be impatient, and guide it slowly."

"Can……"

"In recent days, the son has been like this. Brother Zheng has persuaded him a few times, but has it been effective?"

Zheng Li frowned even tighter, and said: "According to my virtuous brother, what should I do?" I can't just ignore it and let the son go on like this.

"Young brother has a plan," Lu Shizhao saw that Zhu Zhanji was still distracted, lowered his voice, and said to Zheng Li, "I see that the son seems to be very interested in the map in His Majesty's palace, how about this..."

Zheng Li frowned and listened. After a while, Chi asked, "Is this possible? Your Majesty may not agree."

"Your Majesty loves the prince and will definitely allow it."

Lu Shizhao was full of confidence, but he didn't tell Zheng Li. In fact, he had already consulted Young Master Yao in advance, and it was Young Master Yao who told him this.

Master Yao's idea, will His Majesty not allow it?

As long as this matter is done and Prince Ping's mind is brought back to the matter of studying, it is just a copy of a map, His Majesty will definitely not refuse.

"Brother Zheng, just listen to me, whether things are successful or not, don't be so strict, it will make the prince unhappy, and it will even affect the schoolwork."

In the end, Zheng Li was persuaded and agreed to Lu Xuan's proposal.

After the two discussed, they decided to temporarily hide Zhu Zhanji until the emperor agreed to copy the map, and then told him the truth.

"The right is to hone the mind of the son."

Hearing Zheng Li muttering to himself, Lu Shizhao was somewhat disapproving.But remembering that Zheng Li admired Xie Jin very much in private, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Learning is good, but my mind is a bit stiff.

Why did the Son of Heaven choose Zheng Shizhao to teach Ping Wang Shizhao with him?

Could it be that there is another deep meaning?

Lu Shizhao shook his head, but don't think too much.Since His Majesty ordered the two of them to teach the son etiquette, filial piety, and act according to the order.

Not to mention Zhu Zhanji's absent-minded calligraphy class, in front of the martial arts building, Habayashi Wei's martial arts contest gradually came to a close.

With Qianhu Chenji, Habayashi Avant-garde shines brilliantly.

Commander Habayashi Wei and the two other officials were overthrown by Chen Ji one after another, and King Han and King Zhao applauded again and again.

Meng Qinghe also joined in the fun and applauded Chen Ji loudly.When it comes to Chen Heng, Duke of Xianjing, he has a lot to do with himself.When he joined the army in Kaipingwei, Chen Hengzheng served as the commander of Beiping.

At that time, Shen Xuan was only a hundred households dispatched from Yanshanwei to Border Guard.

When you meet for the first time, you can't help but be moved, and the surprise is second, but the shock is real, and there is no discount.

Thinking of this, Meng Qinghe rarely sighed, how time flies.

The years of the frontier fortress, the hardships of Jing Nan, and the enthronement of Emperor Yong Le.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than ten years.

From youth to youth, from youth to maturity.

The only thing that remains the same is probably the bond between the two of them.But it's getting tighter and deeper, and it can't be cut off in this life.

afterlife?

Meng Qinghe seldom thought about it.

It is not easy to live well in this life, even if there is an afterlife, it is something that should be thought about in the next life.After all, he has earned money in his whole life.

Zhu Zhanhe had already got down from Zhu Di's arms, and stood by himself, staring intently at the field.

Not long after Meng Qinghe felt relaxed, he was called to Emperor Yong Le's side, and the task was to continue answering questions for the young prince.

Although Zhu Zhanhe's questions were not difficult to answer, it was really a headache to answer one after another without stopping every minute.

"why is that?"

"Then why?"

"Grandfather..."

Zhu Di was quickly defeated.

It didn't take long for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui to take over.

Zhu Zhanhe still blinked his big eyes with a studious look on his face.

At this important moment, Master Daoyan's disciple, Zhu Zhanhe's nominal master, was needed to support the situation.

Uncle Meng is duty bound.

"Aiqing, I have entrusted the emperor and grandson to you."

Emperor Yong Le was serious about it, what else could Meng Qinghe do?

He could only pretend that he didn't see the slightly distorted expression of Emperor Yong Le, nor did he see the tense cheeks of King Han and King Zhao, and said respectfully: "I obey the order."

Uncle Meng took the initiative to claim the three-headed body of [-] whys, and Zhu Di, his father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Zhu Di didn't say that Zhu Zhanhe was like Zhu Gaoxu.Fortunately, when Zhu Gaoxu was young, he had Professor Wang Fu and Ji Shan as his support, otherwise, Zhu Di would not guarantee that he would smoke his son eight times a day.

Tiger Dad's name is by no means in vain.

If you add the young Empress Xu, the couple's doubles is not a myth.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, and then at their father, feeling a little scared.Obviously, I wanted to go with Zhu Di.

Thanks to my "sincerity" when I was a child.Otherwise, I don't know how my father will fix it.

In the martial arts arena, the sound of war drums accelerated and intensified.

After the thunderous three drums, the five-color flag was erected high on the sidelines, and the whistle sounded, announcing the end of the entire contest.

Although wooden weapons are mostly used in martial arts competitions, artillery and firecrackers are just for show and do not have actual lethality, but even fists alone can injure people, let alone a battle in formation.

After a real fight, without any water content, most of the Habayashi guards who participated in the competition were injured, and more than ten people were seriously injured.

Of the two men who were overturned by Chen Ji, one of them accidentally broke his leg and was lying on the ground. He was almost stepped on by a horse's hoof, causing a second serious injury.Fortunately, there were Jin Yiwei who kept an eye on the situation in the arena, and several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital were waiting by the side, and he was treated immediately when he fell off the horse.

"There is nothing serious about it, and it will recover after a period of recuperation."

After the splint was fastened, the imperial physician's expression was indifferent, and he spoke with certainty. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, thanked the imperial physician with cold sweat on his face, and was soon carried down by Jin Yiwei.

The sword has no eyes, and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors in martial arts, only the "enemy" is fighting.

If you broke your leg, you can't blame Chen Ji, you can only blame yourself for not being good at learning.

Seeing Chen Ji's brave Habayashi guards, all of them have bright eyes and blood rushing up. They are indeed the grandsons of Duke Jing!

As for Chen Heng's son-in-law, Chen Ji's father, Chen Gong who was seconded in the Five Army Commander's Mansion, he was naturally ignored.

The father of the tiger has no dogs, so Chen Heng and Chen Ji are regarded as the father of the tiger who has no dogs and grandchildren.Chen Gong... It was a pure accident.

At the end of the martial arts competition, Zhu Di laughed and said, "Okay!"

And made an order on the spot to promote Chen Ji, a thousand households, as the commander of Yubayashi's avant-garde.

Thousands of households, qianshi, acquaintance, command.

During a martial arts competition, Chen Ji triple jumped, and Habayashi Wei immediately rejoiced, the injuries on his body were no longer painful, and the bruised eye sockets were no longer serious.

Is it easy to be praised by the emperor?

Thinking of the beginning of the big martial arts competition, the banner-bearer guard performed poorly and was reprimanded by the emperor.

"Officers and soldiers must be proficient in strategy, practice diligently, and use martial arts to repay the country! Your ancestors were promoted by military exploits, and they fought hard to get promoted. Children and grandchildren, you don't care about your grandfather, arrogant, lazy, reckless, don't practice strategy, don't practice martial arts diligently, when you are in a competition, your face is like dirt, you fight with your hands, you are as timid as a virgin, cowardly, and you will attack in the future How can a position be used?! If this is the case in battle, how can we meet the enemy and defend the country?!"

With those words, not only did the standard-bearer guards sweat profusely, their faces flushed, and they were ashamed.

If the merits of the grandfather and the honor of the family are discarded in his own hands, what face will he have to meet his ancestors in the future!

The standard-bearer guard became the chicken that was killed for the monkey.

Afterwards, all the guards who participated in the martial arts contest had a high spirit of 12 points. Those who were not skilled in martial arts began to sharpen their guns in front of the battle and practiced diligently at home and in the camp.Even if the children, grandchildren and clan children were injured in the competition, or were relegated due to poor performance, no one came to plead for mercy.

For the family of generals, this is a good thing, what kind of love do you want?

Not to mention the generals left behind by the Hongwu Dynasty, only the military generals who followed Zhu Di to fight in Jingnan, who didn't get promoted after going through the frontier fortress and fighting against the Tartars?

What one fears most about joining the army is not going to the battlefield to fight, let alone being injured, but to be timid before the battle, lack of strategy, and lack of martial arts skills.

The latter two can also learn and hone in various ways. They are timid and afraid of the enemy before the battle, but they are really fatal.

Before he raised the knife, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, not to mention his life, it was even more embarrassing!

The emperor ordered the 26 guards to compete in martial arts, which is tantamount to discovering problems in advance, and then finding ways to solve them.

The emperor doesn't need to do anything, the elders in the family are enough to give these unworthy children a good look!

"Xing Ning Bo really has a great talent!"

Meng Twelve Lang, who proposed a martial arts competition to the emperor, once again soared in favor among generals and nobles, and his speed was comparable to that of a rocket.

"Uncle Xingning is a good man!"

Swiping favorability points doesn't count, and I also collected a bunch of good person cards, most of which were issued by relatives of Xiaolingwei.

Without him, you can tell just by the name that the main job of the Xiaoling Guard is to guard the royal tomb.

Unless the emperor specifically ordered otherwise, the guards of Xiaoling had no part in sending troops to fight and escorting the emperor on patrol.In this case, Tianzi 26 Wei can only be regarded as a good name, no matter how good the martial arts are, it is useless!

Xing Ningbo proposed to the emperor to hold a 26-guard contest. For the Xiaoling guards, it was a pie that fell from the sky, and it was still filled with meat!

Don't you take the opportunity to sharpen your sense of presence, let the emperor know your own abilities, and wait until the day lily is cold, and then turn your head?

When it came to the day of the Xiaoling Guards' competition, Emperor Yong Le was really pleasantly surprised, regardless of the battle formation, the bravery of the guards really made people's eyes shine.

The gloom and anger aroused by the standard-bearer were swept away in an instant.

The emperor's personal guard, as it should be!

If it wasn't for the situation that didn't allow it, and the involvement was too wide, Emperor Yong Le would probably order on the spot that the Banner Guard and Xiao Ling Guard change their costumes and replace them.

The Xiaoling Guards were in charge of the emperor's tour, and the standard-bearer guards went to guard the imperial tomb.

Rao couldn't replace all of them, but also selected many talented officers from the Xiaoling Guard, and nearly fifty brave guards were transferred to Daning.

"You need to remember today's bravery, don't be arrogant, don't be timid when facing a battle, and make contributions to strengthen your family."

Before leaving, the Yin Yin teachings of the elders in the family, coupled with their own expectations and aspirations for military exploits, made the guards transferred from Xiaoling Guards to Northern Xinjiang excited.

Border defense is a rare opportunity for them.What's more, it's still Daning, a good thing that others can't ask for!

The selected Xiaoling Guard packed his bags and set off happily.The gap left is directly filled by the guard who performed the worst in the competition.

Among the 26 guards, many were relegated to Jiaozhi and Yunnan in Guangxi, and more were transferred to northern Xinjiang. Moreover, most of them were officers and soldiers who performed outstandingly in the competition.

It's not that no courtiers noticed the subtlety of this matter, but the military and civil affairs were balanced, and the governor's office of the five armies didn't speak up. What position did the civil officials have to pursue?

It is said that the emperor's 26 guards guard the capital, and there must be one person?

Didn't you see that after transferring people away, they were recruited from their respective families?

Compared with the garrison in the guards, the emperor's army has always had no worries about soldiers.As long as the pursuit is not too high, guarding the imperial tomb is also a good job.

Now that people have made up for it, what else is there to say?

Whoever dares to raise doubts in Shangshu will immediately make his fists and breathe out from his nostrils.

What's the matter, you've crossed the line!

The civil servants were very wronged. Among the generals, some people have already done this!I just imitated it.

Hearing this, Meng Qinghe rubbed his nose and took a few steps back. He is a low-key person who never likes to be in the limelight, so he must hide his identity and fame.

However, the transfer of troops was not pursued. People as smart as Yang Shiqi and others still vaguely guessed that the emperor's actions were probably to mobilize troops in the north.

Most people guessed that the target was Tatar or Wala.Hardly anyone guessed that Zhu Di's target would be North Korea.

How could Emperor Taizu Gao easily mobilize troops in the land of no conquest established by Emperor Taizu Gao?

But when the facts came out, most people were stunned.

It wasn't that the Son of Heaven violated Emperor Gao's instruction and sent troops on his own initiative, but that King Li Fangyuan of Joseon took the initiative to ask Daming for help.

"The five sons are unfilial, mutilate their brothers, kill their siblings, force the little king to abdicate, steal the country and usurp power, ask for the seal with cunning words, and ask the king to send troops to clear the Ming Dynasty!"

The distress letter was sent to Beijing through the Jinyiwei channel, and the court was in an uproar.

In this way, it is not that Zhu Di is unreasonable, but he upholds benevolence and the spirit of internationalism to help North Korea, and there are quite good reasons.

As the saying goes, if you have the conditions, you have to do it, and if you don’t have the opportunity to create the conditions, you have to do it!

Switching to Zhu Di, it becomes a fight if there is a chance, and a fight if there is no chance to create a chance!

It is a fact that Li Fangyuan was forced to abdicate, and it is also a fact that his sons killed each other and fought for the throne.

To take the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops is to see the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see wisdom.

Of course, Li Fangyuan's cousin hadn't been sent to Nanjing yet, Zhu Di was still holding the personal guard contest with great interest, promoted batch after batch of brave generals like Chen Ji, and sent them to northern Xinjiang in batches.

The euphemistic name is: battlefield training.

While concentrating on teaching Zhu Zhanhe, Meng Qinghe counted the time when Shen Xuan would return to court while counting his fingers.

The emperor's edict to summon Annan's army to return to the court has been issued, and soon, Shen Xuan will lead the army.As for after returning, it doesn't matter whether he will stay in the capital temporarily like him, or return to Beijing immediately.

The point is, I haven't seen you for several months, I really miss you!

Zheng and Wang Jinghong were praised by the emperor in public on the day of the Habayashiwei martial arts competition.They not only brought back a ship full of treasures and foreign envoys, but also brought back old port pirates who dared to attack the fleet.

The achievements made were once again emphatically praised by the emperor.

Seeing the tearful and excited Eunuch Zheng and Eunuch Wang, Meng Qinghe turned his head silently and left for two years. The two probably forgot, and being praised by the emperor like this, nothing good will happen.

Sure enough, the emperor poured cold water on him before he got excited.

"After two months, set sail again!"

Zheng He was dumbfounded, and Wang Jinghong was dumbfounded.

As soon as the corner of Hou Xian's mouth curved, he heard Emperor Yong Le say: "You go too."

Eunuch Hou's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the servant has left, who will serve you by your side?"

"I want to tour the north, and I have ordered Bai Yan to accompany me."

Hello you white dog!You are also restless in the Beijing Military Bureau, our family underestimated you!

Hou Xian gritted his teeth, and Zheng He and Wang Jinghong instantly felt refreshed and refreshed.

Let you show off in front of our family, yes!
