Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 321 King Zhou is a traitor!

When Lan Yu heard the words "Chuan Guo Yuxi", the banter on her face disappeared, and she grabbed Enkehan through the cage and asked loudly.

"Where is the Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

"Hand over it!"

"I guarantee you will not die!"

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang made many expeditions to the north cannot be said to be entirely because of the Chuanguo Yuxi, but most of the reasons are related to the Chuanguo Yuxi.

Because this thing is not only a representative of the Chinese imperial power, but also a kind of inheritance of the throne.

Every time Lan Yu goes to war, he will receive a secret order from Lao Zhu, asking him to pay attention to the whereabouts of Chuan Guo Yuxi as much as possible.

It is regrettable that, after so many victories in Ming Dynasty, only Chuanguo Yuxi remained untouched.

Zhu Yunxi was shocked when he heard the words Chuanguo Yuxi, and the eight characters "Being ordered by the heavens will live forever" instantly appeared in his mind.

But his understanding of the Chuanguo Yuxi is limited to this, and he doesn't know how this thing was passed down in history and then disappeared.

"Uncle, is this important?"

"Of course it's important!"

"Your grandfather has been looking for him for half his life!"

"Unexpectedly, you found it when you first came to the grassland. This is God's will, hahaha!"

After Lan Yu answered Zhu Yunxi, she once again threatened Enkehan viciously, asking him to hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Enkehan hid the jade seal long ago, and didn't bring it with him at all, otherwise he would have been snatched away by the soldiers, how could he keep it until now?
"You must promise not to kill me!"

"Let me live!"

"Otherwise I would rather die than hand in!"

"it is good!"

"I promise you!"

Enkehan listened to Lan Yu's assurance, but kept looking at Zhu Yunxi, the so-called future emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"No!"

"I want him to promise!"

"Didn't you say that he is the future emperor of Ming Dynasty? I only believe in his guarantee!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he immediately pointed to the sky and swore.

"can!"

"Gu Gu promises to spare you!"

"If you can cooperate, Gu will even make you a Khan!"

"really?"

"Of course!"

"I, Daming, have captured so many people, so someone must take care of them for me, right?"

Enkehan said happily when he heard this.

"I put Yuxi in a private house in the city, right under the bed where I sleep..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu hurriedly took people to look for it, and ran out of a private house after a while laughing, and then handed the jade seal to Zhu Yunxi like a treasure.

"Nephew, take this thing and give it to your grandpa. Your grandson's seat will be guaranteed, hahaha!"

Zhu Yunxi took over the Chuanguo jade seal, and saw that a corner was broken on it, and it was wrapped in gold. He couldn't help but think of his own seal of the king of Wu, and wondered whether Lao Zhu had smashed the seal of the king of Wu on purpose in order to imitate the seal of the king of Chuanguo. Imperial jade seal?
"Master Uncle, is this thing authentic? It couldn't have been imitated by Beiyuan people, right?"

"This is..."

Sapphire also hesitated when he heard this, he also felt that it was possible, and he couldn't tell the authenticity of this thing.

"Forget about whether it's true or not, take it back and show it to your grandpa, if he says it's true, it's true!"

"All right!"

After Zhu Yunxi found the Chuanguo Yuxi, he fulfilled his promise on the spot and released Enkehan from the cage.

It's just that twelve Jinyi guards were assigned to him, and they took turns watching him at twelve hours a day.

Enkehan saw that Daming attached so much importance to him, and immediately felt a lot safer. He could eat and sleep every day, and felt more comfortable than living in the royal court of Mobei.

Just come out to hang out, sooner or later you have to pay it back.

After spending a few days living a life of eating and dying in Dongsheng City, Enkehan finally ushered in his first mission in Daming—persuading him to surrender.

The so-called persuasion to surrender is to persuade the captive grassland people to obey.

Riding on a tall horse, Enkehan was tightly protected by twelve guards in golden clothes, and walked from one prisoner camp to another.

"Warriors of the grassland!"

"You are not guilty, the one who is guilty is Ugzihashha, it is his greed that has drawn the wrath of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"We will pay for our crimes!"

"The benevolent third grandson of Daming has promised Ben Khan that as long as we work hard for Daming for five years, the benevolent third grandson will let us go back to the grassland..."

"We will return to Changshengtian's embrace after we die..."

With Enkehan's lobbying, the hatred in the prison camp gradually subsided, and hope was ignited in every prisoner's heart.

When the Ming sergeant commanded them to work, they did not resist as before, and began to cooperate in an orderly manner.

Lan Yu looked at the more obedient prairie people, and said to Zhu Yunxi who was gnawing on a leg of lamb.

"Nephew, what on earth are you thinking, are you really going to let them go back in five years?"

Zhu Yunxi said vaguely.

"Hard to say!"

"Let's see how much is left after five years!"

"Forehead……"

After Lan Yu heard this, she immediately put her heart in her stomach, she dared to love her nephew, she didn't intend to let these people go back alive!

When Zhu Yunxi was training the captives, Lan Yu was not idle, or his strategy had just begun.

Taking down Dongsheng City and intercepting the Oala looting soldiers and returning to the grassland is only the first step. How to destroy the grassland cavalry who entered Datong Mansion and fled to Taiyuan through Datong Mansion is his entire strategic intention.

Therefore, he was very busy every day, either ordering people to strengthen the city wall and repair the fortifications, or cooperating with Fu Youde, Jin Wang and others to wipe out the remaining enemies in the territory.

Grassland looting is done on the basis of tribes, with each tribe ranging from hundreds to thousands of people.

Because it is too scattered, it is difficult to form a real combat effectiveness.

As long as the Ming army concentrates its superior forces, it is only a matter of time before all the remnants of the incoming looting are wiped out.

Chang Sheng was also sent by him to earn military merits, and he took three thousand cavalry to assist Lan Yong's adopted son battalion.

As for whether he can catch big fish and make great achievements, it depends on his own luck.

However, Lan Yu didn't care much about this matter. He could even guess what Lao Zhu was thinking. If Chang Sheng wanted to get back the title of Founding Duke, he could only wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Therefore, no matter how much military exploits Chang Sheng made, the old emperor would suppress him desperately.

But Lan Yu didn't say these words to Chang Sheng, for fear of hurting Chang Sheng's aggressiveness.

Ten days later, Lan Yu repaired Dongsheng City and sent troops to station again.As for himself, he brought thousands of people back to Datong Mansion, and told a group of soldiers about their meritorious service.

Sapphire looked at the dozen or so generals under her command, and said calmly.

"The reason for the complete victory in this battle is that the Three Emperors have contributed the most. Do you have any objections to this?"

"no!"

"The grandson of the three emperors strategized, personally commanded the battle, and personally went into battle to kill the enemy. He killed two... no... two hundred Northern Yuan Tartars. It can be said to be an outstanding feat, a great contribution!"

It was Jing Chuan Hou Cao Zhen, the top dog beside Lan Yu who said this.

Cao Zhen spoke in a serious manner, but Zhu Yunxie's face felt feverish when he heard it.

He knows best in his heart whether he has made any contribution.

According to Lan Yu, it is better than him to tie two bells to the dog, and he just took people out for a run. Is there really such a big credit?
"Have all the elders praised you?"

"Although Gu is an emperor's grandson, it's not easy to steal the credit of your uncles."

"Let's seek truth from facts. If you kill two Tartars alone, you will be two. Don't put gold on Gu's face."

"It's my uncle's job to strategize and command the enemy. It's my uncle's job to be on the battlefield and kill the enemy with arrows. I'm just following behind you to fight the autumn wind and take advantage of it. Hehehe..."

Lan Yu patted her nephew on the head dotingly and said.

"Yunxi, you don't have to be humble about this."

"Even if I don't give it to you, I have to give it to your grandpa."

"How can we big-headed soldiers deserve to take the lead, hahaha..."

"what?"

"Why is this?"

Fu Youde laughed and explained.

"Because this is the way to be a minister, hahaha!"

As soon as Fu Youde said this, all the generals in the tent burst into laughter.

In fact, this is also a tradition since ancient times.

The greatest contribution to the victory of the army must be the emperor's. Without the emperor's wise leadership and prosperity, how could they have won?

After Fu Youde said it, Zhu Yunxi understood that he dared to flatter the grandpa, so as to avoid his high achievements and being suspected by the grandpa.

Since this work belongs to Grandpa Huang, then he, the rebellious grandson, is not welcome!
In fact, there is one thing Fu Youde didn't say, that is, Zhu Yunxi didn't command blindly and interfered with Lan Yu's strategic execution, so he deserved the word "first merit".

Even when he heard that Lan Yu used the people of Datong Mansion as bait, Zhu Yunxi only inquired and did not deny this strategy, which can already be called a sage king.

If a so-called benevolent and righteous king were replaced by the people's lives as an excuse to dissuade them, their Ming army would have to pay at least several times the casualties, and they may not be able to achieve such a great result.

The only bad thing is that the third emperor's grandson is still young at heart, always thinking about riding horses and whips, and going into battle to kill the enemy.

However, this matter can only be complained to the old emperor in the memorial, and let the old emperor strictly discipline the three grandsons.

After Lan Yu handed over her head skills to Zhu Yunxi, the rest of the matter was easy to handle.The generals at all levels judged the military exploits according to the number of enemies killed, and took extra care of those who died in battle. All the captured cattle and sheep were sold at a low price on the spot.

As for the materials seized from the battlefield, all the belongings of the people of Ming Dynasty were distributed to the prefectures and counties in various places, and they were asked to find a way to return them to the people.

The people of Ming Dynasty who were rescued from the Tartars were also given out guides to let them go home and farm in peace.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, but on the way back to Beijing, Zhu Yunxi saw the burned village and the corpses that had been eaten by wild dogs on the side of the road, which made him realize that this war was far from what he had imagined. Although he was so peaceful, there was still a lot of pain left on Daming's body, engraved in the hearts of the people of Daming.

This feeling directly dilutes his joy of victory, and even the tens of thousands of prisoners don't feel that he has made a profit, but instead feel a little bit of a loss.

Compared to Zhu Yunxi's unhappiness, Zhu Yunqi was angry and depressed.

He originally wanted to use Lu Fu to make a good splash in Datong Mansion.But he didn't expect that Zhu Yunxie had given him the plenipotentiary as soon as he arrived in Datong Mansion.

Moreover, what frustrates him the most is that Lu Fu, whom he has placed high hopes on, has now become Zhu Yunxie's follower, pestering Zhu Yunxie all day long asking questions.

No, now the old man is pestering Zhu Yunxi, asking him to explain why the epidemic is so preventive, why he is not allowed to drink raw water and other things.

"Son of the Three Emperors, during this trip to Datong, the students saw everything in their eyes, and your governance effect is indeed remarkable."

"But the students really want to know what the principle is. Can you explain it to the students?"

Zhu Yunxi was feeling depressed, seeing the old man pestering him relentlessly, he immediately yelled at him.

"cannot!"

"Son of the Three Emperors, can you tell me why you can't drink raw water?"

"cannot!"

"The grandson of the Three Emperors..."

"roll!"

Zhu Yunxi also knew that it was wrong for him to get angry, so when he camped that night, he called Hao Wenjie, Lu Fu and others to his tent, and explained to them the key points of the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in detail.

It's just that a lot of basic scientific knowledge is involved here, and it's difficult for Lu Fu to understand.

Because it is difficult for him to connect the basic science mentioned by Zhu Yunxi with theories such as yin and yang and five elements.

Relatively speaking, Hao Wenjie, Ge Yunqian and others have learned from Zhu Yunxie for a while, and they can solve many problems for Lu Fu.

When Lu Fu learned that the Imperial Hospital also had a medical school in the capital, which had more advanced medical skills such as surgery, he happily said that he must go to visit and learn.

Hao Wenjie and others naturally welcomed this with both hands and feet, and hired Lu Fu as a visiting professor of the medical school on the spot.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi, he just draws a circle habitually, leaving the rest to others.

While Hao Wenjie, Lu Fu and others were discussing medical skills with each other, Zhu Yunxi was invited into the Jin Palace by the King of Jin. He entertained his eldest nephew and borrowed the "Jade Seal of Chuanguo" from his eldest nephew to observe, and secretly I stamped a few seals for myself, intending to leave them as souvenirs for future generations.

Because once this thing enters the palace, it will have no chance with him, the feudal lord.

Zhu Yu originally wanted to keep Zhu Yunxi in Taiyuan for a few more days, but the old man kept urging him letter by letter every day, so he could only quickly send the old man's precious grandson away. Before leaving, he sent him an extra 1000 guards, for fear that Zhu Yunxi would get out on the road. Accident.

Even so, Zhu Yan was still worried, so he took Fu Youde and told him to take good care of Zhu Yunxi on the way, and don't let this grandson mess around.

When passing by Kaifeng mansion, Zhu Yunxi wanted to visit his fifth uncle who loved him the most, but he didn't even think that his fifth uncle King Zhou was not there, so he didn't even enter Kaifeng city.

Zhu Yunxi didn't think much of it, but the Jin Yiwei who accompanied him paid attention, and secretly wrote down the matter. He didn't wait until the next day, and sent someone back the news that the king of Zhou had rejected the third emperor's grandson that night.

Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu was looking through the military newspaper sent back by Lanyu, and comparing it with his own report in the army, he restored the real situation of the normal battle.

In general, the battle was won, there is no doubt about it.

But what about the losses and gains in this battle? Lan Yu didn't mention a word, and even pinned the blame on Zhu Yunxi.

Old Zhu was thinking secretly, is this guy planning to let our grandson take the blame for him?
Old Zhu put aside Lan Yu's military newspaper that reported good news but not bad news, and began to look up the memorials of the prefects and county magistrates of various prefectures in Datong Prefecture.

Relatively speaking, the notebooks of these people are much more detailed.

For example, Lan Yu plundered the bandits, held back his soldiers, beggared his neighbors, and used the people as bait.

Lao Zhu cursed endlessly when he saw these.

"Sapphire, that bastard, we really should cut him to pieces!"

"We stationed [-] troops in Datong, don't we just want to keep the bandits out?"

"This guy is actually able to use the people as bait to allow the North Yuan Tartars to plunder the people. He deserves death!"

When Lao Zhu was angry, the entire Qianqing Palace didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu only scolded for a while, and because of Dasun's "first skill", he pinched his nose and admitted it.

"Where is our eldest grandson now?"

"Have you ever been to Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Back to the emperor, according to the previous report, we should have passed the Kaifeng mansion at this time. However, Kaifeng mansion is the fiefdom of the king of Zhou, and His Royal Highness may have to stay with the third grandson for a few days, so that he can entertain him before letting him go. Return to Beijing."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu finally showed a smile on his face.

"It's not that we are boasting. Our princes are all empathetic and righteous. Compared with the princes of previous dynasties, they are much more humane!"

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Qin Deshun hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.

"The emperor said so!"

"However, this is also the kindness of the emperor, the father. The princes are brothers and sisters, and they value human relationships and family relationships."

Lao Zhu was very satisfied with this flattery, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that his grandson would have to delay for a few days.

"Pass the decree to the king of Zhou, let him entertain our eldest grandson for a few days less, and quickly let that rebellious grandson come back!"

"Hey!"

"My lord, is this decree oral or manual?"

"Let's order!"

"That kid, Prince Zhou, is a bit stubborn. If you pass an oral order to him all the way, he may not take it seriously."

While the two were talking, a eunuch hurried in from outside the door.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Jin Yiwei!"

"pass!"

"promise!"

Not long after, a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi walked in, and presented the general with both hands.

"My lord, this is the daily report of Jin Yiwei. The grandson of the Three Emperors has already passed through Kaifeng Mansion and is expected to arrive in Beijing in seven days."

When Lao Zhu heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"Is this past Kaifeng?"

"Then Ni Sun didn't say to visit his Fifth Uncle?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the grandson of the third emperor went to visit the king of Zhou. It's just that His Royal Highness excused his absence and ordered someone to send the grandson of the third emperor out of the country!"

"The specific report is written by the adults of Qianhu. The emperor will understand it after reading the military report."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhu immediately opened the bamboo tube, took out the military newspaper inside, and looked through it.

In the memorial, Xu Liuzi, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, recorded in detail how Zhu Yunxi prepared gifts and went to Kaifeng City to visit his fifth uncle in person, and then how his fifth uncle ordered people to lie and shut out the third grandson. of.

Moreover, in order to verify whether the King of Zhou was in Kaifeng City, Xu Liuzi sent someone in to inquire, and he was 100% sure that the King of Zhou had disappeared on purpose.

After reading Xu Liuzi's report, Lao Zhu was so angry that he tore the report to pieces on the spot.

"Prince Zhou is a rebellious son!"

"Our eldest grandson went to visit him with good intentions, how dare he not even open the city gate?"

"We are still alive, so he dares to neglect grandson like this. When we die in the future, he will not rebel!"
