Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui turned around in astonishment and saw his father in high spirits, holding a thick wooden stick in one hand.
The other hand was holding a wooden box that was still dripping with blood.
His whole body froze, he kneeled on the ground subconsciously, and stammered an explanation:
"Dad...Dad, Erchen thought you...had something big to do...and wanted to see Erchen...that's why..."
"Bang"
Ming Taizong Zhu Di threw the wooden stick aside, placed the wooden box in front of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, and said:
"This is Arutai's head. It was given to your Grandfather Taizu by Emperor Sui Yang. You will bury this head later."
Building a temple in Beijing?
Send Arutai's head to those barbarian leaders?
If he didn't capture it with his own hands, Ming Taizong Zhu Di wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing to deceive the world and steal his reputation.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but touch his neck.
If his father had held a long sword dripping with blood, he might have been frightened to tears.
Later, Ming Taizong Zhu Di sat back on the dragon throne and talked about business.
"Third brother, your grandpa Taizu said that I should send all the vassal kings, princes, and generals to the Hongwu Dynasty."
"From now on, the four dynasties of the Ming Dynasty will be like the same dynasty. If there is a war, the prince will lead the troops and the generals will assist."
"Do you want to go to the Hongwu period? Or stay in the Yongle period and help me do a small thing?"
At this moment, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui had many thoughts in his mind.
Zhu Zhanji, that wolf bastard, had already apologized and his second brother had forgiven him. Why were the two of them kneeling outside the palace at this moment?
Could it be that something big happened tonight that he didn't know about?
Thinking of this, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"My son is willing to share my father's worries!"
Deep down in his heart, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui was already sure that his second brother must have accidentally angered his father.
So, hehe... leave this important task of supervising the country to him!
Ming Taizong Zhu Di took out a letter and waved. When Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui came to him, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Third brother, I will leave it to you to raise rare and exotic animals."
…
Outside the main hall.
Even though King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was kneeling, he still raised his chest and raised his head. He looked at the respectful Zhu Zhanji with disdain and said:
"My eldest nephew, don't blame your second uncle for criticizing you. You need to see more imperial doctors to help you take a look at your health."
"Your father died violently after reigning for ten months. You reigned for ten years and died suddenly of a serious illness, leaving only Zhu Qizhen, the first general of Oara."
"Look at me, second uncle. I have more sons than your father. Every time I go into battle to kill the enemy, I take the lead. I am more powerful than you and Zhu Qizhen combined."
While speaking, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu patted his chest vigorously.
The corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth twitched slightly, as if the kicks he just kicked were a little too light, and he said with a wry smile:
"Second uncle, please stop teasing your nephew."
Zhu Zhanji, who used to look like a wolf cub, seemed to have changed overnight.
No longer as energetic as before, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han said in a pretentious manner:
"In a few days, you come to my second uncle and Gu will teach you how to fight. I think back then, in the battle of Baigou River, Gu led his elite cavalry into the formation and killed Qu Neng and his son."
"In the battle of Dongchang, your imperial grandfather was defeated and Shimei died in the battle. It was Gu who rushed with his army, defeated the southern army and rescued your imperial grandfather!"
"In the battle at Puzikou, your imperial grandfather was defeated again, but he arrived alone and took the lead, thus defeating the southern army."
…
At some point, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji buried his head on the ground, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was gloating about his misfortune.
A majestic voice sounded from in front of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu:
"So, you are the biggest contributor to Fengtian Jingnan?"
"Both I and Shimei are not as good as you?"
The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was recalling his achievements in the Battle of Jingnan and casually said:
"Shimei? He's just a barbarian, how can he be with an orphan..."
"boom"
Zhu Di, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, suppressed his anger, kicked Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu in the chest, and said angrily:
"presumptuous!"
"Shimei is good at planning and Shihong is good at fighting. If it weren't for them, how could I have broken into Yingtian Mansion?"
General Zhang Yu, courtesy name Shimei and posthumous title Zhongxian, served in the Yuan court in his early years and reached the Privy Council. After the death of the Yuan Dynasty, he fled to Mobei with Emperor Tuohuan Tiemuer of the Yuan Dynasty.
In the 18th year of Hongwu, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhang Yu participated in the Battle of Yuerhai and was awarded the title of Deputy Qianhu of the Jinan Guard for his merits. Later, he was promoted to the commander of the Anqing Guard.
In the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhang Yu was transferred to the left guard of Yanshan Mountain. Later, he raised troops with Yan King Zhu Di, fought against the enemy, and made many military exploits.
In December of the second year of Jianwen, the Yan army attacked Dongchang and met Sheng Yong, the Marquis of Licheng. King Zhu Di of Yan led his army to attack the left flank of the southern army, but was heavily surrounded by Sheng Yong.
At the critical moment, Zhu Neng led his troops to rescue him and took the opportunity to break out. Zhang Yu did not know that Zhu Di had been rescued, but still charged in the formation, killing dozens of people, and eventually died of exhaustion from his wounds.
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han came back to his senses and covered his chest. Seeing his father getting angry, he broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt on the ground and said:
"Dad, please listen to my explanation."
"It's that wolf cub...ahem, my nephew is bewitching me..."
…
The Hongwu plane of the Ming Dynasty.
early morning.
Lan Yu heard that all future vassal kings and generals were coming to Hongwu. After breakfast, she took her three silly nephews to the military camp outside the city.
Not long after waiting, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.
Just as Chang Mao was about to go and see which general from that dynasty came first, he was grabbed by Lan Yu with quick eyes and hands, and asked:
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Lan Yu said with a look of hatred that iron cannot become steel:
"Mao'er, how come I have a nephew as stupid as you?"
"Who is this prince?"
Chang Mao hesitated and said:
"The uncle of His Highness the Crown Prince? The Marquis of Yongchang of the Ming Dynasty? The uncle of Zheng Guogong?"
"Snapped"
Lan Yu slapped Chang Mao on the back of the head, pointed at the armor on his body, and said:
"I am a military commander! A military commander!!!"
"There are so many people trying to compete with me for battle glory, and you still eagerly come over to watch? Can you be a little more ambitious!"
When Chang Sheng heard his uncle's reminder, he immediately reacted and said worriedly:
"Uncle, what should we do?"
"Quickly think of a solution!"
There are not many opportunities to lead troops in battle, and now there are so many people competing for battle glory. How can Chang Sheng not be scared?
What if I can't get it?
Chang Sheng and Chang Sen also echoed:
"Uncle, why don't we go find Duke Xin and the others?"
"It makes sense. When it comes to fighting, who can compare with Huaixi Xungui?"
Lan Yu looked at the three silly nephews who had no ambition and said angrily:
"You're confused, why are you still looking for Duke Xin?"
"Don't forget, we are no longer the nobles of Huaixi! Without military merit, even His Highness the Crown Prince cannot promote me and others."
"So... we must let those generals know that in the Hongwu Dynasty, there were not only nobles from Huaixi!"
Seeing his uncle's appearance, Chang Mao's eyelids jumped and he persuaded:
"Uncle, what if your Majesty punishes me?"
"Why don't we go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and find out when the expedition will take place? Make preparations in advance?"
