Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 223 221-Sapphire died in Hongwu 26 years ago
As for the lifelong problems of the fourth and fifth younger sisters, when Zhen Wu was pondering, many people were thinking about the fourth and fifth younger sisters.

Since the news spread that Zhen Wu was going to marry the princess, most people could tell that the Zhen family would become one of the most prominent families in Beiping City in a short time. Whether it is quality or ability, it is well known, so his younger brothers and sisters are all targeted by some people with school-age children.

The fourth sister is actually fine.

Because Tan Yuan talked with Zhen Wu about the fourth sister's marriage a long time ago, and wanted his eldest son Tan Zhong to marry the fourth sister. Tan Yuan has mentioned at many wine tables that Tan Zhong intends to marry the four daughters of the Zhen family.

And Tan Yuan did make Tan Zhong wait for the fourth sister.

As a result, although the two families are not engaged, in the eyes of outsiders, judging from the relationship between the two families, it is almost certain that the two families will get married.

After all, Zhen Wu's father was Tan Yuan's trustworthy subordinate, and Zhen Wu was also taken care of by Tan Yuan. Even after Zhen Wu was promoted repeatedly due to his meritorious service, Zhen Wu still maintained the most sincere respect for Tan Yuan. It can be seen that, The relationship between the two is unusual.

Therefore, no one competed with Tan Yuan in the fourth sister's marriage.

However, the third and fifth sisters are different.

These two have also reached the age of marriage, and there are no rumors about their marriage outside, so many people naturally pay attention to it. In their eyes, if they can get married, they will not only have a relationship with Prince Yan's mansion, but also have a big brother Zhen Wu , is also worthwhile.

What's more, judging from Zhen Wu's dealings with each other, the Zhen family's upbringing is excellent, especially the fifth sister is still under the guidance of the princess in the palace, how could it be worse?
A perfect match.

Zhen Wu didn't know that his family had become a favorite, and he was a little worried about how to find a good husband for the fifth sister. Speaking of the fourth sister and the fifth sister, Zhen Wu was more inclined to the fifth sister, and the fifth sister was more temperamental than the fourth sister. The younger sister should be more submissive. It is estimated that she is often inseparable from her elder sister, so she is less likely to make decisions, and has developed a habit of obeying.

This kind of temper is easy to suffer.

That's why Zhen Wu was in a difficult situation, and he didn't dare to be careless, because as long as Zhen Wu thought of the little girl who timidly asked him for money to buy a handkerchief, if he was wronged after marriage because of his carelessness, Zhen Wu would not only blame himself, And it hurts too.

Speaking of it, Zhen Wu is still more willing to let them fall in love freely, at least find someone who can meet their wishes, but how many boys of the right age can they meet when they have the opportunity to fall in love freely these days?

Counting and counting, there are only a few, Zhu Gaoxu, Tan Zhong, Wang Tong...

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu's eyes flashed, can Wang Tong do it?

At the same time, at Wang Zhen's house, Wang Zhen was also chatting with his wife.

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law has been in a bad mood since she heard that Zhen Wu was going to marry the princess, and her good son-in-law flew away. Since she met Zhen Wu last time, she has been more concerned about Zhen Wu's news, caring and caring. It's almost like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her son-in-law, the more she is satisfied, but she didn't expect to be robbed by Yan Wangfu in the end.

Where is this going to make sense.

Wang Zhen said angrily: "I'm telling you, don't be angry with me, it's not your precious daughter's fault, she insists on carrying it, if she nods earlier, Zhen Wu can still refute me and Tan Yuan What do you mean? Maybe my grandson is in my arms."

"Hey."

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law sighed heavily. She also knew the truth. After all, she still spoiled her daughter too much. But when she was young, she was treated harshly by patriarchal parents and experienced that kind of helplessness. That's why after having her own daughter, She doted on her even more, but she didn't expect that she would harm her daughter by pampering her like this.

My daughter is good at everything, but she has such an arrogant personality. Now that she is a little older, she still doesn't know what kind of family she will marry.

It's really worrying about her as a mother.

If she doesn't marry well in the future, she wonders if she will regret not nodding her head earlier and marrying Zhen Wu when she thinks about it.

She sighed again, picked up a towel from the side, wiped Wang Zhen's hands, and said, "Husband, this is the only daughter we have, you have to help Juaner pay attention, and you must help Juan find her." A nice family."

"You don't need to talk about it, but you have to talk about Juan'er. She has a bad temper. If the two of us fall in love again next time, we will definitely not let her go." Wang Zhen said while sitting on the bed .

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law took advantage of the opportunity and sat down, nodded, then thought about it, and continued: "By the way, Tong'er is also old, remember to help Tong'er pay attention, if there is a suitable family, we also need Prepare early."

As soon as these words fell, Wang Zhen fell into deep thought.

After a while, Wang Zhen asked, "Juan'er often goes to the palace too, has she ever mentioned to you the character of the two sisters of the Zhen family?"

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up and said: "Juan'er has said that the two little sisters of the Zhen family who often go to the palace have nothing to say about their appearance and temperament."

Wang Zhen laughed in satisfaction and said: "Zhen Wu can't be a son-in-law, why can't he ask for a daughter from his family?!"

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law nodded again and again: "That makes sense. I heard that the fourth daughter of the Zhen family is good-looking and has a good temper. Juan'er even praised her. She must be a good wife."

Wang Zhen looked sideways, shook his head and said, "Don't think about Miss Four, the old guy Tan Yuan is settled, so he can only think about Miss Fifth."

"Ah? Aren't the fifth daughters of the Zhen family only twelve or thirteen? Are they a little younger, can they be overwhelmed by being the eldest daughter-in-law?" Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law was a little unhappy.

Wang Zhen curled his lips and said: "You think it's too small? Will it be your turn when you grow up? Do you know that Zhen Wu's family is now a sweet potato."

Wang Zhen's daughter-in-law was taken aback, but she used to be a young lady from a scholarly family. After thinking about it for a while, she figured it out. After paying attention for a while, she couldn't help becoming anxious: "Then you go to Zhen Wu's house and talk about it soon. , don’t be robbed by someone again.”

Wang Zhen pulled his daughter-in-law to lie on the bed, and his daughter-in-law said dissatisfiedly: "Don't move around, let's talk about things, although our family doesn't have to marry the Zhen family, but you are already close in the army. It is naturally good for the Zhen family to get married, not to mention that Zhen Wu, the head of the family, obviously has a limitless future, and in the future, Tong'er will have Zhen Wu to take care of him in the army, so he will be more stable, hey, hey, don't take it off, hand Why did you stick it in..."

"Rest Ma'am, I know what you said, if Tan Yuan and I are interested in Zhen Wu's sister, who would dare to snatch it from me."

"You said the same thing about Juan'er last time, why was it robbed by the palace."

"Oh, only the Wangfu can snatch mine. No one else dares, even that boy Zhen Wu can't agree." Wang Zhen hurriedly dropped a sentence, and then his mind was full of nephrite-like daughter-in-law.

With a burst of movement, the night became darker and darker.

And Zhen Wu was lying on the bed at this time thinking, it seems that when I look back, I have to let the third child ask Tan Zhong and Wang Tong to come to the house to play more, let the fourth and fifth sisters see each other more, and finally ask the fourth and fifth sisters If you have no objection, you can get married with their two families.

But after trying to pass, Zhen Wu still felt a little bit uncomfortable.

I always feel cheap for those two boys.

……

On the second day, after Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu met, they took a group of people to Beiping City to pick up Wei Guogong Xu Huizu.

It's all right to show no pretense to Zhen Wu, but also to be cold-faced to Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeing Xu Huizu's appearance, Zhu Gaoxu's dog face immediately turned cold, he didn't want to talk to Xu Huizu anymore, and rode his horse to the side, but Zhen Wu was not qualified, even if Xu Huizu put on airs, he had to laugh with him.

Xu Huizu took two deep glances at Zhen Wu, which made Zhen Wu's heart tremble. He didn't know where he had offended Xu Huizu. It was obvious that Xu Huizu had a slight dislike for him.

"Why are you two here?" Xu Huizu asked with a cold face.

Zhen Wu explained: "His Royal Highness asked the two of us to listen to orders under the Duke's account. We have been in Beiping for a long time, and we are relatively familiar with each other, whether it is the land or the generals. .”

This is polite, but it actually means that Xu Huizu came to Beiping on business, and with the help of the two of them, it will be much smoother.

Xu Huizu was not stupid, so he naturally heard it.

But what Zhen Wu never expected was that Xu Huizu snorted coldly: "What? Without you, I can't do a good job in Beiping? King Yan has been very powerful in Beiping these years!"

Zhu Gaoxu was originally unwilling to talk to Xu Huizu, but he didn't expect Xu Huizu to say that about Zhu Di, which made Zhu Gaoxu, who had always admired Zhu Di, immediately angry.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu quickly grabbed Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to blame Zhen Wu with a doggy face, but Zhen Wu stared at him, and pressed Zhu Gaoxu firmly with his hand, only then let Zhu Gaoxu calm down.

Xu Huizu looked at this scene with cold eyes, as if he didn't care at all.

Zhen Wu turned his head to look at Xu Huizu, smiled, but he smiled, and when he closed his smile, he said in a cold tone: "His Royal Highness King Yan deeply remembers the duties of a vassal king, sticks to the frontier, and wings the royal family, so it has been ten years like a day. I dare not be careless when I am on duty, and there is an imperial decree a few days ago that the soldiers and horses in the border of Beijing cannot be transferred without the king's order. His Royal Highness King Yan will naturally inspect and regulate the army and horses in Beiping. It’s true that it’s impossible to do a job, but it’s not a matter of prestige or prestige, it’s all about serving the emperor.”

This passage is firm and powerful.

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, Le's eyes narrowed, and he gave Zhen Wu a thumbs up.

Xu Huizu was also a little surprised, but it was just a little surprised. He stopped talking to Zhen Wu and started heading towards Beiping.

Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu followed behind, Zhen Wu looked at Xu Huizu in front of him and wondered, is Xu Huizu sick, did his mother do such a thing?

Fortunately, Xu Huizu is still the head of the Xu family.

However, after arriving in Beiping, Xu Huizu refreshed Zhen Wu's understanding. Xu Huizu had such a close relationship with King Yan that he didn't live in the Palace of King Yan, but insisted on staying in a guest house.

This made Zhen Wu really speechless.

It's really a crime made by heaven, but you can still live, but you can't live if you make a crime yourself.

However, soon after Zhen Wu thought about it, he figured it out, could the head of the Xu family be a mediocre person?Not only is it impossible, but it is likely to exceed the intelligence of ordinary people.

Maybe Xu Huizu has already noticed that after Zhu Yunqi takes power in the future, there will definitely be disputes with the vassal king, so that's why he wants to separate himself from the king of Yan.

But does this count as cleverness and being mistaken by cleverness?
Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu had no choice. After Xu Huizu settled down, they went back to the Palace of Yan and reported. After hearing this, Zhu Di was silent for a long time without saying anything, and waved Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu to retreat.

In the following days, Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu accompanied Xu Huizu on business affairs. After a period of time, Zhen Wu had to lament that Xu Huizu was a man who knew everything about the affairs of the army without saying anything. The regulations, as if they knew all the guards around Beiping in their chests.

From this point of view, Xu Huizu obviously has the background of a famous general.

pity.

If you choose wrong, you will end up wrong for life.

Under the general trend, can manpower reverse it? !
As time passed, it gradually came to February, the 26th year of Hongwu.

During these days, Zhen Wu followed Xu Huizu and learned a lot secretly, but he was also busy running around, so he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court. When he finally returned to Peking, he heard the blue jade again. With this name, the Sapphire case has already been issued.

According to the Chaobao, Lanyu planned to launch a rebellion when Zhu Yuanzhang was in the field. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei found out the clues in advance and avoided the rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and immediately arrested Lan Yu for interrogation.

Afterwards, Jinyiwei, dressed in flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, was frequently dispatched. Some of Lanyu's close subordinates and adopted sons, as well as Zhan Wei, who was also a subject of the East Palace with Lanyu and supported Zhu Yunxi, was arrested on the same day. Take it down.

Then began to spread and spread, endlessly.

By the time Zhen Wu got the news, more than [-] people had died in this case, and this case seemed to have just begun. Countless Jin Yiwei rushed to countless places.

Even Peking was not spared.

After Jin Yiwei arrived in Beiping, Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu began to follow Xu Huizu, and with the cooperation of Jin Yiwei, they also started to move. Many Mongolian surrendered generals were implicated one after another.

Alu Timur and Naier Buhua were arrested one after another, and even Guan Tong almost fell into it. Fortunately, Zhen Wu released Zhu Gaoxu and let Zhu Gaoxu bite him madly before rescuing Guan Tong.

However, Guantong was also frightened, and stayed behind closed doors for many days.

It was not until June that the turmoil stopped, which made many people in the world breathe a sigh of relief.

On this day, Zhen Wu looked at the list of those who died in this turmoil at home, and was terrified. Lan Yu had too much military exploits before, and he always led the world's soldiers and horses. Many good fighters died because of it. Officials died batch after batch.

Zhen Wuwo didn't come out of his house for a whole day, and the family members were too frightened by the turmoil recently and didn't dare to disturb Zhen Wu.

This time, half of the good fighters among the middle-level generals of the Ming Dynasty were basically killed.

If there are these people, Zhu Di will be in trouble in the future, how can he win?These middle-level generals will rise one by one to become the new nobles of the Ming Dynasty because of the suppression of the vassal kings.

But it's not certain, Zhu Yunqi's grandson may not be so generous.

However, Zhen Wu didn't have time to think about this at this moment, he only had one thought in his head now, and this matter is not over yet, because he didn't see many knighted people on the list.

So when will the next batch of killing sprees start?What made Zhu Yuanzhang no longer control the level?
Just when Zhen Wu was thinking about this question.

A group of Jinyiwei took the human skin stripped from Lan Yu's body and headed for Sichuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Lanyu was his son and daughter's in-laws, so he decided to deal with it leniently, changing the broken pieces of Lanyu to Ling Chi as peeling, and sent them to Lanyu's daughter, Princess Shu, as a reminder.

And guarding Sichuan is Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who has lived and died with Lanyu for many years.
