Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Duke Ying's mansion.

Fu Youde had just finished serving his wife for lunch, and was just about to hide in the room to watch the meeting, when he saw his servant running over in a hurry.

"master!"

"The palace... There are people coming from the palace..."

"It is said that His Majesty will arrive in a while, let us prepare well!"

"what"

Hearing this, Fu Youde quickly jumped up from his chair, and then ordered the people to open the middle door and sweep the courtyard.

After settling all this, Fu Youde went to the backyard in person, told the old lady and daughter-in-law to change into their maiden clothes, and be ready to meet the holy car with him at any time.

Lao Zhu came very quickly, and within half an hour after sending someone to notify in advance, he led a group of people to Fu Youde's house.

Fu Youde is one of the helpers he plans to find for Dasun.

Now there are several Dukes in the capital, but Duke Xin is not in good health, Feng Sheng is careless, Chang Sheng has just been convicted, and only this Fu Youde is a suitable candidate.

As soon as the emperor's carriage arrived, Fu Youde led the whole family to bow down.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu hurried forward a few steps, and personally helped Fu Youde's wife Cui to her feet.

"Madam Cui is so lucky!"

Mrs. Cui is over 80 this year, and her hearing has been bad for a long time. Hearing this, she just asked ah.

"What?"

"Let's say you are lucky!"

"What old fox?"

"This old man can't afford His Majesty's compliment!"

Seeing what his old lady said, Fu Youde hurriedly shouted into his ear.

"Mother!"

"Your Majesty praises you for your good fortune!"

When Cui heard her son shouting, she understood what the emperor said.

"What kind of luck is it? We are all thanks to the emperor's blessing, otherwise how could we live in such a peaceful life!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was so happy from ear to ear, but he never talked to Cui Shi.

According to the degree of Cui Shi's deafness, if he said a few words to Cui Shi, he would faint from anger.

"Youde, is the old lady's birthday this year?"

"Back to the top, my mother is eighty-three this year."

Lao Zhu nodded and said with emotion.

"It's not easy!"

"Have you ever been granted an imperial order?"

Fu Youde hurriedly replied.

"Return to Your Majesty, Hong Wu was awarded by His Majesty in 18 years, and she is already a first-rank lady..."

"oh oh……"

"Then give it to Mrs. Chao Pinguo. The specific title will be drawn up by the Ministry of Rites in another day, and it will be sent together with the order."

Fu Youde just stood up from the ground, when he heard this, he quickly knelt down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Lao Zhu turned his attention to the children and grandchildren behind Fu Youde. Fu's parents don't need to look at them. Fu Zhongben is his son-in-law, and he married his ninth daughter, Princess Shouchun.

The second son, Fu Chun, didn't need to look at him, he was adopted by Fu Youren a long time ago, so in principle he is no longer in the Fu family.

When Lao Zhu's eyes fell on Fu Youde's third son Fu Rang and fourth son Fu Tianxi, his eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, these two people are still at home now, right?
"Youde, what are you three and four doing now?"

As soon as Fu Youde heard this, he knew that there was going to be a reward, so he hurriedly called his two sons over and asked them to get closer to kowtow to the emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the two sons of this humble official are useless, they are just dawdling in the capital camp."

Old Zhu nodded when he heard the words.

"Let the two of them enter the palace and serve as our guards. After a few years of experience by our side, they will be able to serve as commanders when they are released outside in the future."

Hearing this, Fu Youde quickly kowtowed to thank him.

"Chen... I thank Your Majesty Long En, woo woo woo..."

After Fu Youde said this, he quickly got up from the ground and kicked his two sons one by one.

"Bastard!"

"Hurry up and thank Your Majesty, don't knock your head to bleed, and see if we don't hang you two up and beat you!"

Hearing what his father said, the third and fourth children of the Fu family hurriedly kowtowed, and within a few strokes their foreheads became red.

After Lao Zhu knocked them down a few times, he spoke out to dissuade them.

"Youde, what are you doing?"

"Our two families are also related by marriage. Isn't your son our son?"

Old Zhu dared to say such words, but Fu Youde did not dare to believe them.

"Your Majesty is serious, how can the dog of the Weichen family dare to compare with His Majesty's Longzi..."

Lao Zhu praised the children and grandchildren of the Fu family again, and ordered people to give them a wave of rewards, and then followed Fu Youde to the Fu family's room.

"Youde, we have something to deliver to you."

Fu Youde's heart tightened immediately when he heard this, he had already seen that His Majesty was busy, otherwise why would anyone who is not in season come to their house, to give orders and rewards?
"The superior has something to say, but it's okay to say, even if I let the humble minister go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, the humble minister will not frown!"

Lao Zhu shook his head and said.

"It's not that serious, it's just that the child Yunxi is worried about Lanyu, so he has to take someone to see it himself."

"We really can't hold back this kid, and we're thinking about finding a mature and prudent person to help out on the road, so as not to cause any accidents to this kid."

Hearing this, Fu Youde finally understood why His Majesty rewarded his family, and even brought his two sons into the palace as guards.

Dare to feel that this is entering the palace as a hostage!
If something happens to the eldest grandson of the emperor, his two sons will not even think about surviving!
"Humble job understands!"

"Don't worry, the superiors will never let the Three Emperors have the opportunity to contact the battle formation, and the three emperors will definitely bring you back in full!"

That's what Lao Zhu wanted. He knew the grandson's temperament too well.Leading a group of people and a few small broken boats, they dared to go to sea to fight Japanese pirates.

If this is tens of thousands of people, he still has to run to the grasslands to chase the policeman, and give him a wolf and a living Xu.

"Youde is indeed a mature and prudent person, hahaha!"

Seeing Lao Zhu laughing, Fu Youde laughed along with him.

After saying hello to Fu Youde, Lao Zhu left, and led a group of people to kill the founding father Chang Sheng's house.

Chang Sheng had already received a letter from Jin Yiwei in advance, and led his family to wait at the door early.

When Lao Zhu came to Chang Yuchun's house, he was much more casual. After letting everyone fall behind him, he walked into the Kaiping Palace with carelessness, and went straight to the main hall of the Kaiping Palace.

Chang Sheng led the male members of the Chang family to meet again, while the female family members stood outside the door, waiting for His Majesty's call at any time.

Lao Zhu looked at the simple layout of the Chang family's main hall, and nodded in satisfaction.He also saw the weapon rack beside him, on which was the tiger-headed golden gun that Chang Yuchun had used, so he couldn't help but walk over to pick it up and play with it a few times.

The tiger head Zhan golden gun weighs sixty catties, even if Lao Zhu carries his eldest grandson all day, he still finds it a bit difficult to play with this gun.

Therefore, Lao Zhu made a few gestures casually, and then reinserted it into the weapon rack.

"The last time you killed the entire Lu family, was this the gun you used?"

When Chang Sheng heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I will die..."

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Whether it's a crime or not, the Lu family and others will be destroyed if they are destroyed!"

"As long as you still have this heart in the future, no matter who bullies Zhu Yunxi, you can risk your life to protect him, and you are worthy of our painstaking efforts!"

Seeing what Lao Zhu said, Chang Sheng hurriedly kowtowed to him three times.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

"Even if the humble minister is smashed to pieces, he will protect the grandson of the third emperor from being bullied by anyone!"

Seeing what Chang Sheng said, Lao Zhu turned around and helped him up.

"We plan to exile you to the Datong Mansion for crimes and meritorious service. I wonder if you would like to go?"

Chang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly the wish of this minister!"

"My humble official dreams of making contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so he will live up to his abilities!"

Old Zhu smiled and pointed to the tiger-headed golden gun on the weapon rack.

"Show us a trick!"

"promise!"

Chang Sheng happily stepped forward to pick up the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear, and tried his best to play a set of Chang's marksmanship in front of Lao Zhu.

When Lao Zhu first watched it, he still had a faint smile on his face.But when he looked at it for a while and saw the shadow of Chang Yuchun in the marksmanship, the corners of his eyes suddenly became a little wet.

More than [-] years ago, before Chang Yuchun set out to conquer Yuan Dadu, he also played such a set of marksmanship on himself in the palace.

When Chang Yuchun finished playing a set of marksmanship, he begged Lao Zhu to make him the chief general of the Northern Expedition. Lao Zhu thought that this guy would be desperate to fight, so he gave the position of chief general to Xu Da, and only let him Became a lieutenant...

"Good good!"

"You kid is not much weaker than your father, hahaha..."

"Go to Datong Mansion this time, protect our grandson for us, and don't let him encounter danger!"

Just as Chang Sheng was about to happily agree, when he heard that Zhu Yun was also going, doubts immediately appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, what are the three grandsons doing?"

Lao Zhu became angry when he mentioned this matter, wishing he could go back to the palace and beat up that grandson again.

"The grandson is worried about his uncle, so he has to go and see for himself!"

"Besides, we also feel that the grandson is more capable and can save more people!"

This is why Lao Zhu finally agreed.

Datong mansion is full of big Mingrui, and he feels distressed even if one of them dies.

If Dasun can really show his ability to control smallpox in Beijing and save all the people in Datong Mansion, everyone in the army will be grateful to him from now on.

With this credit for Dasun, he, the grandfather, no longer has to worry about him.

After Lao Zhu came out of Chang Sheng's house, he went straight back to the palace.Seeing that Ni Sun was still kneeling where he was, Lao Zhu ignored him, but went back to the imperial case and wrote a few imperial decrees, ordering people to deliver the decree to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War.

Not long after, the Ministry of Punishment received an imperial decree from Chang Sheng to change his sentence to exile in Datong Mansion and serve in the army.The Ministry of War also received the imperial edict to appoint Fu Youde as the chief general for conquering the North, and to transfer [-] officers and soldiers from the Beijing battalion.

When everyone saw these two edicts, they speculated that His Majesty might want the grandson of the Three Emperors to go to Datong to treat the epidemic.

The news quickly spread throughout the six departments, and by the way, throughout the capital.

Those who knew the news were all rejoiced, thinking that 10 people in Datong Prefecture had been saved.

Only Zhu Yunxi didn't know anything, and still knelt on the ground foolishly, arguing with old Zhu.

"Grandfather, why can't the grandson go?"

"The [-] soldiers in Datong Mansion are also the sons and grandsons of the common people. Why can the children and grandchildren of the common people go to the front line, but not your grandson?"

"Your grandson is a grandson, but the grandsons of the common people are not grandsons?"

No matter what Zhu Yunxi said, Lao Zhu pretended not to hear.It wasn't until the eunuch came to pass the meal that Lao Zhu stood up from the dragon chair, walked slowly to Zhu Yunxie's side, and kicked Nisun's ass.

"Come with us to dinner!"

"Don't eat!"

"It's fine if you don't eat, save food for Daming!"

"It's just that you don't have enough to eat, how can you get the strength to go on your way tomorrow?"

"Hurry up?"

Zhu Yunxi's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hugged Lao Zhu's thigh.

"Grandfather, have you agreed?"

Lao Zhu flicked Dasun's little head angrily.

"Hum!"

"Don't run around when you go out this time, if you don't care about running around, let's see how we can deal with you!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, grandpa, this time I promise not to run around, and I will come back after curing the illnesses of the soldiers in Datong Mansion!"

Old Zhu secretly rolled his eyes when he heard the words, he didn't believe a word of Ni Sun's words.

"Hurry up and get up. After dinner, hurry up and let Dr. Hao show you the injury on your buttocks. The road will be bumpy for many miles."

After Lao Zhu said this, seeing that Dasun still didn't get up, he couldn't help being a little angry.

"We have promised you, why are you playing tricks on us!"

Zhu Yun smiled awkwardly.

"Grandpa, grandson's leg is numb..."

Old Zhu smiled bitterly when he heard the words, then reached out to pick it up, and went straight to the side hall for dinner.

Early the next morning, Lao Zhu held a very grand departure ceremony for his two grandsons outside the Hongwu Gate.

All officials in Beijing were ordered to
Come to the ceremony.

At the ceremony, Lao Zhu gave Fu Youde a very high-standard treatment. He not only poured wine for him in person, but also ordered his grandson to lead the horse for him in person.

Fu Youde was sweating in his heart, secretly scolded Lao Zhu for being unkind, and wanted to set him on fire.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best this time to protect Datong Mansion for Daming!"

"Then there will be Lao Fu Ai Qing!"

After Lao Zhu's departure ceremony was held here, a group of princes ran out of the palace to bid farewell to Zhu Yunxi.

"Nephew, be careful when you go to Datong Mansion this time, if you can't do it, just run back by yourself, don't worry about others..."

Zhu Gui's words immediately caused dissatisfaction among the young princes.

"Brother Thirteen, you really look down on the eldest nephew, don't you? If the eldest nephew goes out, the gang of Beiyuan gang who will definitely be able to fight is screaming, wow..."

"Eldest nephew, why don't you go and beg your grandpa, let your grandpa allow us to go out with you!"

Zhu Yun just rolled his eyes helplessly at their whimsical words.

"If you want to go, please ask your father!"

"It took me dozens of whips before I begged Grandpa Huang to let go!"

"If you want to go too, you can ask your father yourself. As long as you are as resistant to beating as I am, your father will definitely agree, hahaha..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately put out the idea.

It's just that when the Chinese New Year is approaching, but the eldest nephew is going to go to war, everyone's hearts are full of reluctance.

"Eldest nephew, you really don't know how to be picky, and perfectly missed our Ming Dynasty's first quarter of the cricket king competition..."

"Then you won't postpone the game until I come back from Datong Mansion, hahaha..."

"No way!"

"We only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and we don't have time to hold it if we usually want to!"

Zhu Yunxi chatted and laughed with the crowd, looked around the crowd for a long time, and saw that all four of his little sisters had come, but Zhu Yunxi was the only one missing.

"Where's Zhu Yunxi?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words.

"Zhu Yunxi was ill a few days ago, and I haven't been to the Daben Hall for some days."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart.

The only person he feels ashamed about the Lu family is Zhu Yunxi.

Based on this, he didn't even dare to go to Dabentang, because he was afraid that Zhu Yunxi would let him ask for his mother and concubine.

Zhu Yunxi called Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan over and told them to speak.

"Take good care of Zhu Yunxi for me, don't let people bully him..."

The two of them patted their chests and promised.

"Don't worry, as long as we don't bully him, no one in the palace will bully him!"

Zhu Yunxi roared angrily when he heard this.

"Aren't you two stupid!"

"I mean you two don't bully him!"

Zhu Yunqi watched Zhu Yunxi talking and laughing with the princes, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and then a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

This honor should have belonged to him, but it was all taken away by Zhu Yunxie!
But that's okay, since he bumped into him on his own initiative, let him die on the way!
Zhu Yunxi chatted and laughed with the princes for a while, and when he heard the horn of the expedition, he said goodbye to everyone and boarded Fu Youde's carriage to set off.

Originally, the generals would ride horses when they went out to battle, but because this time there were two more grandchildren accompanying them, Fu Youde bought a few carriages.

After Zhu Yuanzhang bid farewell to the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, he climbed up the city wall of the capital, stood on the gate tower and looked into the distance.

Lao Zhu watched the last soldier disappear into the horizon, and then dragged his exhausted body back to the palace.

After Zhu Yunxi left, Lao Zhu became more and more diligent, and he was busy until midnight every day.

Whenever he heard news from the front line, no matter what time it was, he would immediately get up and deal with it.

Erhu and Qin Deshun tried to persuade him several times, but it was useless. It was not until the third day of the army's expedition, when a letter came back from Fu Youde's army, that Lao Zhu felt a little relieved.

The content of the letter is very short, only a few words.And the tone is very disrespectful, and the whole article is full of complaints.

However, Lao Zhu watched it over and over several times, laughing foolishly every time he read it.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson's ass is about to burst into eight petals!"

"It's all your fault, you beat me so hard before leaving that I couldn't sit still in the carriage!"

When Lao Zhu saw this, Ni Sun seemed to be fidgeting in front of his eyes, and a smirk gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"Deserved it!"

"Now we only want to hit it lightly, hehehe..."

After Lao Zhu scolded with a smile, he immediately gave instructions to Erhu.

"Send someone to deliver a bottle of medicine to that Ni Sun, and tell him to write us a letter every day!"

"Let's hit him with a hundred boards for one less letter!"

Seeing the emperor's smiling face, Erhu felt as happy as seeing the sun behind the clouds.

"My lord, what you said is not rigorous, you have to specify the number of words."

"Otherwise the young master is so lazy, he dares to write you a cover letter!"

When Lao Zhu heard what Erhu said, he couldn't help laughing.

"You're right!"

"If we don't set a word count for him, how dare he fool us with the envelope!"

"You send someone to tell him that every letter less than [-] words doesn't count, and if there is one less letter, we'll beat him with [-] boards, hahahaha..."

"promise!"

As soon as the two tigers agreed, they went out and ordered people to spread the word. Although the army had set off for three days, as long as they sent out fast horses, they could catch up in less than a day.

After all, the marching speed of the army is only tens of miles a day.Even if there are many horses in the army, they will not exceed a hundred miles.

Relatively speaking, the imperial court's [-]-mile rush and [-]-mile rush, without changing people and horses, can travel much faster than the army.

Lao Zhu read the letter several times before he folded the letter contentedly, put it in his arms, and then went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed to sleep soundly.

Seeing that the emperor fell asleep so early today, Qin Deshun wiped the corners of his eyes in relief, helped the emperor tuck in the quilt, and then exited cautiously.

It's still useful for the Three Emperors!
Even if you just complain to the emperor, you can coax the emperor to sleep happily!
