"What does Marshal Xu think of the other highnesses?" Li Wenzhong looked at Zhu Di and asked Xu Da with a smile on his face.
"The Second Highness is brave and forthright and wholeheartedly protects his brothers. The Third Highness does not take any risks and is a wise general." Xu Da commented. Li Wenzhong glanced at Xu Da and couldn't help but laugh. In fact, besides the Yuanyang Formation, the most dazzling person was the Fourth Highness, King Yan Zhu Di. As a prince, he can see the opportunity and press forward decisively, and he can take the lead in seizing the flag. Judging from his personal performance, he is more like a famous general than the Fifth Highness.
But Xu Shuai deliberately didn't mention it. Li Wenzhong naturally knew that he was angry at Zhu Di's refusal to marry the daughter of the Xu family in the past.
As a relative of Lao Zhu's family, Li Wenzhong naturally knew about this.
Speaking of which, His Majesty and the Xu family hadn't actually reached an agreement that day, so it was a bit strange for the fourth child to hastily refuse. But then His Majesty turned his attention to Xiao Wu, so it didn't matter. As both a general and Xu Da, Li Wenzhong also knew Xu Da's concerns.
Since ancient times, the most worrying thing for generals leading troops abroad is that their great achievements are tabooed by the king. Both the Xu and Li families have been promoted to the throne and cannot be promoted. Fortunately, the Li family is related to the Zhu family after all. But the intimate relationship between the Xu family and the Zhu family only lasts to Lao Zhu's generation. The Xu family has great prestige among the nobles...
The marriage between the Xu family and the Zhu family is the outcome that nobles like the royal family and the Li family want to see.
Looking at the dejected noble disciples in the field, Xu Da shook his head and chuckled. The fathers of these people were mostly self-proclaimed thorns in the army. Most of them have forgotten their bloody bravery in the past. They only know how to commit many crimes by relying on their merits in following the dragon and His Majesty's grace. Even after drinking, he often made disrespectful remarks in public.
Little did they know that His Majesty, who has ascended to the throne now, is no longer the Fengyang man who drank a lot of wine and ate meat with them in the past.
Rather, he is the emperor who commands the great power of Kyushu and the world.
Even he, Xu Da, who was so young in the past, often did not dare to raise his head and look directly at the king, and had to carefully consider the words he said several times before he could answer.
These noble disciples dared to look down upon the prince of the Tian family, and united to bully the fifth prince in an attempt to steal the cement business...
This future son-in-law is otherwise good, but he is still too kind to others. This is similar to His Royal Highness. His Highness the Crown Prince treats others gently and easily and is unwilling to punish others, while His Highness the Fifth Prince is lazy and unkind in his heart. These reckless men who killed their fathers just let them go and refused to discipline them, which made these people mistakenly think they were weak and could be bullied.
With such strong soldiers, these rebellious and noble disciples were directly subdued from the beginning. Why do you have to save face for them to engage in military exercises and gambling?
Amazing talent, but no ambition.
Xu Da commented secretly. But that’s fine, it’s certain that he really doesn’t want to get involved in the battle for the throne…
While I was thinking about it, I heard in the school grounds that the arrogant Prince of Ji'an, Lu Xian, threw his helmet to the ground and said loudly: "I don't accept it!"
"You are cheating! Our soldiers are all leather armor, but you have twenty sets of heavy armor! This is not fair! I don't accept it!"
"Stop using these annoying broken bamboos! How dare you take off your armor and fight me with real swords and guns!"
He has always been hailed as the most brave among the second generation of nobles, but just now he was restrained by two wolf swords. His movements and movements were restricted by those branches and he was unable to exert even 10% of his strength. In the end, he was tripped by the wolf sword. He fell to the ground with a big butt in his face. Now he was so aggrieved that he couldn't even do anything superficial. He looked at Zhu Su's tribe who had just taken off their armor with an indignant look.
"Lu Xian!" Zhu Xian pushed aside the crowd and came out, with a righteous face on his face but secretly happy in his heart. The Marquis of Ji'an has always been reckless and rude, but he didn't expect that he would be so aggressive after giving birth to a son. It just gave him an excuse to turn the situation around.
"How dare you be rude to your highnesses! Don't you know your dignity and inferiority?"
Although Lu Xian was stopped by Zhu Xian, he just turned his head and remained unconvinced. On weekdays, his father, the Marquis of Ji'an, Lu Zhongheng, complained a lot about Lao Zhu who cut him off as a Marquis because of trivial matters.
Although he later regained his title, he still kept saying strange things at home. As a son, how much respect can he really have for the prince despite being influenced by his ears and eyes?
But Zhu Xian didn't really stand up for Zhu Su. After giving Lu Xian a good drink, he turned to look at Zhu Su, cupped his hands and said, "But what the Prince of Ji'an said makes some sense."
"It is indeed unfair that His Highness relies on the heavy armor of the Israeli army. He may not be able to convince us."
"How about taking off the armor and trying it again?"
Zhu Su couldn't help but sneered when he saw that he clearly had other agendas, yet he acted so sanctimonious. I didn't want to get too involved in the imperial dispute, so I left these nobles alone, but I seemed to have overestimated the deterrent effect of the emperor's authority on the nobles in the early Ming Dynasty. They thought that their status as princes would make them as honest as bankers, but they didn't expect that they would get more and more aggressive.
This Zhu Xian was even more shameless for a cement prescription.
No wonder these guys were later killed one by one by Lao Zhu who couldn't bear it anymore. I have seen this view in later generations: among the founding figures of each dynasty, there are always some who cannot change their minds, and they still think that the emperor is still the same mud-legged person who drank wine and ate meat at the same table with them in the past. Once their greed is not satisfied, they feel wronged and resentful...
In the Han Dynasty, such people were Pengyue and Qingbu; in the Tang Dynasty, they were Zhang Liang and Hou Junji; and in the Ming Dynasty, they were Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Ji'an Marquis Lu Zhongheng, and Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu.
A disaster is coming but he doesn't know it yet, and he is still trying to be smart here... Zhu Su sneered in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the edge of the school field saying loudly: "If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose."
"You are also my Ming Dynasty man, can't you afford to lose?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Li Wenzhong and Xu Da striding over in casual clothes.
"Xu Shuai!"
Among the noble soldiers, most of them had served under Xu Da. When they saw Xu Da, many people stood up straight out of habit, and the place suddenly became solemn.
Xu Da's cold eyes swept across Zhu Xian and fixed on Lu Xian's face. "You are also the general's disciples, but why do you want to confuse right and wrong? Do you really not see the good and the bad?"
"This 'Mandarin Duck Formation' separates and attacks together. It is extremely sophisticated. In terms of combat power and coordination, it is much better than those of you who have lived in the Marquis Mansion for a long time and have forgotten to practice! Do you really rely only on heavy armor?"
"How many of your swords and spears can break through the formation and hit this heavy armor? I think this heavy armor is a burden on these soldiers. You and others ignore the black and white excuses for heavy armor."
"Besides, soldiers are not afraid of deceit. You can't predict it in advance, but what's the point of resenting it afterwards? In the future, on the battlefield, I also plan to let the Meng Yuan soldiers take off their armor and dismount to fight with you. Even if you lose, you will shout dissatisfaction. Have they ever fought you again?"
These words made Lu Xian and even many noble soldiers blush. Even Zhu Su blushed slightly. Indeed, judging from the situation just now, heavy armor is actually quite redundant. It's just a layer of unused insurance that I added because I was worried.
"The victory has been decided, what are you waiting for?"
"If you still want to stay here, send off the soldiers and servants immediately! I will write a letter to your father. From now on, anyone who does evil in the village will be punished by military law!"
Li Wenzhong's voice is as loud as a bell.
The Duke of Wei and the Duke of Cao came forward, but these dandies who had originally planned to cause trouble didn't dare to let go of anything. They only dared to secretly look at each other, like a group of rats frightened by a cat.
"A bunch of rats. So rampant against us."
"Now I don't even dare to let go of a fart."
Zhu Xi spat disdainfully. If Xu Da hadn't come out early just now, he would have hit the sinister Zhu Xian on the head with the unedged knife in his hand.
As if no one dared to fight again.
His last strike made Zhu Siam, Lu Xian and other second-generation ancestors twist their noses in anger.
