Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very happy that the border issue was settled. At the same time, he glanced at Prince Zhu Di and Yang Bing below a few more times, and Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly in his heart.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang saw all the eye contact between Yang Bing and the prince just now, but he was not angry about it, but was very happy. Yang Bing was the son of his trusted subordinate, and after several contacts, this young man also had some abilities, and most importantly What's more, Yang Bing is very loyal to the prince. As a father, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally hopes that his son can have such a person around him.
Seeing that the other ministers had nothing to do, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the civil and military ministers. From the beginning to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at Lin Feng again. This made Lin Feng even more ashamed and so angry that his heart even ached a little.
Now it is no longer important whether the blueprint in Lin Feng's hand is true. What is important is that Yang Bing was able to be so closely united with the royal family that he actually handed the blueprint that could reverse the situation of the Ming Dynasty directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After going to court, Lin Feng paid no attention to anyone and left the palace alone. Behind him, Yang Bing, Yang Xiyuan, and Wan Qi Shihui looked at Lin Feng's retreating back.
"This boy from the Lin family, if he hadn't been Lin Ziren's son, he might have been an astonishing talent. It's a pity, it's a pity." Wan Qi Shihui felt a little sorry, because in terms of knowledge, Lin Feng used to be able to stand up He was at the top of Kyoto City, but unfortunately he was taken to Nanhai by Lin Ziren. From then on, there were rumors that Lin Feng's temper became weird and violent.
"Humph, if a son follows his father, he is not a good person!" Yang Xiyuan still spoke very straightforwardly, not caring that there were many ministers around him.
When Yang Bing heard the conversation between the two fathers, he shook his head helplessly. Now he was no longer in the mood to think about how to deal with Lin Feng. He was very angry now. He was angry that the prince asked the emperor for orders without consulting him. Let yourself go to the border and escort something so important.
"Major General Yang, please stay. Your Highness the Crown Prince invites you." Just when Yang Bing was about to leave the court, a eunuch came over.
Yang Xiyuan and Wan Qi Shihui looked at each other. It was hard to tell whether they were happy or unhappy, but they both stopped and looked at Yang Bing in unison.
Yang Bing was angry at the moment. Although he didn't show it, the eunuchs who had seen countless people in the palace knew that this uncle must be in a bad mood now.
"Father, father-in-law, if the prince calls me over, I won't follow you two back." Yang Bing first said to the two elders.
Yang Xiyuan said: "Well, go ahead and be careful when talking to His Royal Highness." Maybe it was because of his own son, but Yang Xiyuan could also see Yang Bing's inner unhappiness to some extent.
Wanqi Shihui said nothing, nodded with a smile, and pulled Yang Xiyuan outside.
Yang Bingze followed the eunuch to the East Palace and met the prince Zhu Di and the second prince Zhu Qi.
As soon as he entered the East Palace, Yang Bing sat directly next to the second prince. He said nothing, but his eyes seemed to be unfamiliar.
"Hey, General Yang is angry. Who provoked you?" When the prince saw Yang Bing's appearance, he was not angry. Instead, he laughed and joked.
The second prince also smiled: "Brother, I see, General Yang has been plotted against." The prince had just told Zhu Qi what happened in the court.
"No, I just want to ask, why are you sending me there? The second prince is here, so we can just let him go back with the team." Yang Bing said with a face full of resentment.
"There is a reason why I let you go." The prince said calmly.
"What's the reason? There are so many generals, but they can't even be ranked above me."
"Brother Yang, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to give you some merit. You have just appeared in the court. Although you have made extraordinary achievements, your achievements are too few. Those ministers will not treat you as such. What's going on." The second prince said and poured a cup of tea for Yang Bing: "You are like this teapot now. It is the best teapot, but the tea in it is very ordinary tea. The elder brother wants to give you the teapot. Add good tea to it, otherwise it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the government in the future."
Yang Bing actually understands this truth in his heart, but he just can't stand it now: "Well, I have to work hard anyway. I won't enjoy this good life for a few days before I have to go back to the battlefield." After Yang Bing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup. Drink it all in one gulp.
The prince and the second prince were relieved upon seeing this.
"But I just don't understand. Since Your Majesty already knows that the second prince has returned to Kyoto, why doesn't he send the second prince back privately?" Yang Bing couldn't understand. After all, the second prince really shouldn't be in Kyoto now.
When the second prince heard this, his face suddenly turned red. The prince also looked at his second brother with a smile.
"He, he is meeting a beautiful woman."
"What? Beauty? Who does the second prince like?" Yang Bing's gossipy heart was immediately aroused, and he completely forgot about what happened just now.
Regardless of the second prince's obstruction, the prince told Yang Bing the whole thing in a more elaborate manner.
It turned out that when the second prince was practicing martial arts when he was young, Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to the Yijian Sect in Kyoto City to learn martial arts. During this period, he met a junior sister. The two began to practice martial arts together when they were seven or eight years old, and they gradually developed a relationship. Two years ago, the second prince was sent to the border by Zhu Yuanzhang to garrison. The girl was very reluctant to let him go, but there was no other way. Zhu Qi could only make an agreement with her that he would come back to marry her after he had made military exploits.
As a result, just two years later, the sect held a martial arts contest to recruit brides. Because many female disciples in the sect had reached the age to get married, including the girl that the second prince liked, so the second prince took the risk The risk of being punished by Zhu Yuanzhang was rushed back secretly.
After hearing this, Yang Bing looked at the second prince in shock. He didn't expect that the second prince had such a love history. He couldn't help but clasped his fists and raised his hands to the second prince: "Second prince, I really admire you."
"Go, go, I'm sorry, please take care of the things at hand first, and don't join in the fun with me."
"Hehe." Yang Bing chuckled, and the atmosphere between the three of them became much better.
"But, Brother Yang, I really have to thank you this time. You saved the lives of hundreds of people." The prince was very grateful. For him, it was not just saving the craftsmen, but more importantly. He was also appreciated by his father.
"Your Highness, you really spoke emphatically. In fact, this matter can be easily solved. It's just that our positions are different and the situation we see is different. The situation you and the second prince see is from the royal family. Starting from His Majesty, but I am different. From the beginning, I just wanted to tease Lin Feng, so my bottom line is much lower than yours. I happened to encounter the border and craftsman affairs again, so I figured it out. Such an idea."
After listening to Yang Bing's explanation, the prince nodded appreciatively, and then took out a token and handed it to Yang Bing: "This is authorized by my father. With this token, you can mobilize the black men of our court at will." Gunpowder, and I also told you that the military factory is set up in your military camp, and you must make enough thunderbolts within ten days, otherwise my fourth brother may not be able to hold on for long."
Yang Bing stopped joking, stood up, knelt on the ground and took the token: "Yes, His Royal Highness."
Lin Feng on the other side was in a very bad mood after returning to the Lin Mansion. He was embarrassed in front of so many ministers in the court. Thinking of Yang Bing's proud smile, Lin Feng pulled out a long The sword was swung forward fiercely, and a cold light flashed across the tree in front of Lin Feng. The tree as thick as an adult's thigh was neatly cut off.
"Master, the girl has been found, but..." Shuang'er hesitated to speak.
"Just what? Tell me!"
"It's just that she is Yang Bingde's maid, her name is Ziyun, and it is said that she is also Yang Bingde's maid."
"Oh? Is she Yang Bingde's maid?" Lin Feng became interested and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, since Yang Bing married Wan Qi's family, this Ziyun has stayed in Yang's house and is responsible for the affairs of Yang Bing's hospital. I heard that Yang Xiyuan also gave her a monthly salary increase."
A sinister smile appeared on Lin Feng's face: "Hehehe, Shuang'er, go and find a way to tie this Ziyun to me, but after Yang Bing leaves for the border, this woman must have Yang Bing's secrets in her mouth, Otherwise, the Yang family would not do this to a maid."
"Yes, Master." Shuang'er turned and left.
Lin Feng looked at the scenery in the courtyard alone, with Ziyun's beautiful face in his mind. Lin Feng even couldn't wait to press Ziyun under him.
After Yang Bing returned to Wanqi's house, Wanqi Keer hurriedly found him: "Your Majesty wants you to go to the border?"
"Yeah, you got news pretty quickly." Yang Bing went to the pavilion and poured himself a glass of water. Ever since he traveled through time, he especially liked sitting in the pavilion. He didn't like to be bored in the room all the time. .
"I'll go with you too!" Wan Qi Ke'er grabbed the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. In fact, according to Wan Qi Ke'er's official rank, he should go to court today, but because Ming Dynasty still has strict regulations on women being officials. It was very disdainful, so she didn't go.
"What are you going to do? Do you really like fighting so much? How dangerous it is. If the prince hadn't forced it on me this time, I would never have gone back."
Wan Qi Kerer reached out and patted Yang Bing on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? As a general, if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy, wouldn't it be like being talked about behind his back?"
Yang Bing was speechless, thinking that the face of ancient people was really important.
"Uncle, young madam, I want you to come over." At this time, a maid came in and asked the two of them to go to the main hall.
The two came to the main hall, and Wan Qi Shihui asked them to sit down with a smile: "Son-in-law, this time His Majesty sends you to support the border war, how many people do you plan to bring? Why don't you just take Ke'er with you? Go ahead, she is good at martial arts and can also protect your safety."
Yang Bing was very smart to see that Wan Qi Shihui was not interested in drinking, so he decided to refuse. However, Wan Qi Shihui and Wan Qi Keer, father and daughter, united the front, and in the end Yang Bing could only agree.
Seeing that Yang Bing agreed, Wan Qi Shihui smiled again and began to change the subject: "Son-in-law, as a father, I want to ask you when you plan to have children. I have been waiting to have a grandson. Besides, your father also said Well, the sooner you do it, the better."
