The guards at Tumen Pass ran to Lintao Mansion as quickly as possible and reported back the news of the Tibetan invasion.
The local magistrate and the garrison commanded envoys. They didn't quite believe this was true, but they sent people out to investigate and found that the enemy had already invaded. They were immediately panicked and immediately concentrated all the troops in the nearby garrison to prepare for defense.
And arrange for people to go to Chang'an, tell Zhu Shangbing and Sheng Yong the news here, and ask for support.
At the same time, people were also asked to send the news back to Yingtian.
For a time, various news continued to spread.
It would take a certain amount of time to send all kinds of news from the border areas to Yingtian. Before the news came back, Zhu Xuan still didn't know anything. He thought that Tubo had given up the idea and did not dare to have any special thoughts.
On weekdays, he either spends time with his wife and children, or spends time with Grandpa Huang, and handles government affairs.
Now more and more memorials and other things were given to him to read. Even with the help of the cabinet and Zhan Shifu, there was a feeling that he would never finish reading the memorials.
"Being an emperor is really tiring!"
Zhu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "The emperor is more than ten thousand people and has supreme power. If you can get so much, you will naturally have to give something. The more you get, the more you have to pay."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Grandpa Huang is right. When we get power, we need to pay for the people of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly with satisfaction.
He is not worried that his good grandson will become a coward.
Because Zhu Xuan's performance is completely different from that of a faint king. It is a blessing for Ming Dynasty to have a good grandson!
"Are there any particularly difficult problems to deal with recently? Let me teach you how to deal with them."
Zhu Yuanzhang said again.
Zhu Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Not yet, but my grandson feels a little strange. Nawa has been back for so long, why hasn't he come back again? It's been almost a year!"
Normally, Tubo was shocked. After Nawa returned, they reported the military strength of the Ming Dynasty. Their rulers were also shocked. They couldn't wait to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty and recognize the Ming Dynasty. The status of the suzerain country.
Like Goryeo in the past, they could only become subjects.
Zhu Xuan couldn't even see these operations.
Normally, this is very inappropriate!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "My dear grandson is thinking about someone else's princess, right? However, it is their honor for our dear grandson to like their princess. If you don't send her here, we will fight in and rob her!"
Zhu Xuan: "..."
Grandpa Huang’s focus is a bit different!
"But..."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "It's indeed a bit wrong that Tubo didn't send anyone to look for us again. I don't know what they think internally. Let's wait and see. Even if my dear grandson wants to beat them, he won't be in a hurry."
Zhu Xuan really wanted to break in, fight first, then control and assimilate, and become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty together.
Don't give up an inch of ground!
"Grandson, don't be in a hurry!"
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to say: "Then just wait. After all, the journey is far away, and it takes a long time to go back and forth to Nawa."
They put this matter down for the time being.
"Bring Wen Gui over here."
After Zhu Yuanzhang had settled his affairs, he missed his great-great-grandson very much. He wished he could hold him by his side all the time and go to court. He added, "We want to see him."
"Grandpa Huang, wait a moment, my grandson will go back soon."
Zhu Xuan went back to Kunning Palace and brought Mu Yuanjun with him.
When he saw his little great-grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled so happily that he said with a smile: "This child is so handsome!"
Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, you like Wen Gui so much, please don't spoil Wen Gui in the future."
"of course not!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said instinctively: "If we still have a chance in the future, we must teach Wen Gui like an emperor and teach Wen Gui everything we know. In the future, Wen Gui will be even better than his father!"
After hearing this, Mu Yuanjun smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang can always teach Wen Gui."
"I'm old, I can't do it anymore!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even think about denying his old age, and he said with a smile: "We are very satisfied now."
In the end, Zhu Xuan still kept Wen Gui with Lao Zhu.
At the same time, arrange for the palace maid to watch from the side. Once the little guy starts crying, he will immediately tell Mu Yuanjun.
Back in the East Palace, Zhu Xuan looked at the memorial, but still couldn't find anything related to the Tubo people.
"Strange!"
Zhu Xuan said to himself.
"What's weird, Your Highness?"
Ji Wenjing happened to walk in and asked curiously.
Zhu Xuan briefly talked about the Tibetan affairs.
Ji Wenjing thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "So, my deduction should be fine. The Ming Dynasty will still have to fight again. This is unavoidable. Your Highness should prepare as soon as possible!"
"Tubo, how is this possible?"
Zhu Xuan immediately shook his head, not believing that Tubo would invade.
Na Wa was so frightened by him that day that he gave up on the spot. How could he dare to come in again?
Ji Wenjing said: "Your Highness, you have to know that everything is possible. The hexagram I calculated has not changed. Maybe a scare will not change Tubo's original idea. It is not necessarily true that he will come in. Otherwise, how could it be so It’s been a long time and there’s still no news?”
Zhu Xuan: "..."
That makes sense.
"How confident is Mr. Ji?"
Zhu Xuan asked worriedly.
He had to take this matter seriously. If it turned out to be what Ji Wenjing said, he would have to prepare in advance. There was even a feeling that Tubo had already invaded, but the ancient news was blocked and could not be uploaded immediately.
Even telegraphs could not spread as far as Shaanxi.
"I'm 80% confident!"
Ji Wenjing said confidently: "Your Highness really needs to be prepared for war, but... we, the Ming Dynasty, are not afraid of war. If the Tubo people come in, they will almost die. Your Highness can rest assured."
Ming Dynasty is indeed not afraid of war.
Zhu Xuan is not even afraid and even wants to fight this battle.
The reason why I am a little nervous is because Tubo is active, while Ming Dynasty is passive. It feels very bad to be passive in fighting, and the active position must be restored.
Zhu Xuan said: "You are a magic stick. Sometimes you are accurate and sometimes you are not. You really need to be prepared in advance."
Ji Wenjing laughed and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, I have always been more accurate."
Zhu Xuan did not continue to talk nonsense with Ji Wenjing, and immediately went to the telegraph station in the palace and asked the person in charge here to keep an eye on various signals. As long as relevant telegrams came in, he would tell himself immediately that they must monitor them.
When the officials of the telegraph station heard that the matter was serious, they did not dare to neglect it. They arranged for people to watch the signals coming back from the telegraph station twelve hours a day.
If there really is any military intelligence over there in Shaanxi, it will be faster if it is transmitted manually first and then telegraphed.
But they always traveled by hand and came back by land. The fastest way was to take a train on the way, and the slower way was to go south on a fast horse.
Zhu Xuan hoped it was the former, that he could be faster and respond as soon as possible.
