At noon, Zhu Gaoxu was kept by Princess Xu for dinner, and King Yan also came to the dining room. Zhu Gaoxu was very restricted in the meal, and he didn't look like eating with his parents at all.
However, the dining room of the Prince's Mansion is really luxurious, with valuable antique calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the house is decorated with fine mahogany furniture. The tableware for serving dishes is also exquisite Jingdezhen official kiln. The dishes are also very rich, and they are not the same as what Zhu Gaoxu enjoys in the Prince's Mansion!
Having a meal here and comparing the low houses outside the Yan Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had traveled through time again, inside and outside were two worlds with different levels of civilization.
Princess Xu picked up a piece of fried mutton for Zhu Gaoxu and sighed softly: "Gao Xu is old enough to get married, and Wei Mom finally remembers this in her heart."
Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry about mother, it's not the time now. When the father and the king arrive at the capital and clean up the treacherous ministers, the sons can start a family. The right way is, before the treacherous ministers are destroyed, why should the family be done?"
Princess Xu wanted to speak but stopped, so she opened her mouth and finally didn't say it.
Zhu Gaoxu guessed that she was worried that if the crisis failed, her son would not even have the chance to get married. But when she said that this was not good in front of the King of Yan, she did not speak.
When he looked at King Yan again, his expression became more and more serious, but he said lightly, "Why do you have a real man without a wife? What's the difficulty of Gao Xu getting married? Princess, don't worry too much."
Princess Xu said: "Gao Xu arrived in Yongping, and he would like to help your father with his heart. I took the time to say hello to Wei Baihu's family. My daughter's family can't afford to delay, so I'll show you one in the future."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he thought to himself: The news from Professor Hou Hai that the Veda family's daughter was originally engaged. This would be fine, saving some trouble.
He nodded and said yes, looking very filial.
Besides, Zhu Gaoxu never looked forward to Veda's daughter... He believed that as a mother, Princess Xu, it was impossible for her to find a very beautiful daughter-in-law for herself!
The marriage was also strange at this time. The man and woman had never met each other before, so they got married directly. However, it didn't matter to Zhu Gaoxu. He didn't want to challenge his parents' power in this regard for such a thing.
After all, in his previous life, he had the right to choose, but he had to have the strength to choose. In the end, he would choose a few-handed earth-fat and round person who was most suitable for him... Just like his ex-girlfriend is a little pretty, why don’t he choose the rich person when he encounters something?
After lunch, King Yan went straight to the front hall. Zhu Gaoxu waited for Princess Xu to give advice, and also said goodbye and went home to prepare for the itinerary.
...
The Northern Army was short of soldiers, and the King of Yan promised to give Zhu Gaoxu all the remaining horses of the left guard. However, when Zhu Gaoxu took over, there were less than 800 cavalry. The generals in the King of Yan guards took away half of the soldiers under various names.
Anyway, there were not many people in total, so Zhu Gaoxu didn't care. After three days, he gathered his troops to Yongpingwei.
Starting from Peking, according to the direction and distance, Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Yongping Prefecture was probably near Qinhuangdao. Qinhuangdao in later generations was considered a developed region, but it is not yet.
This place was originally called Lulong Town. Since ancient times, it has been a military strategist, controlling the Great Wall in the north and connecting the western Liaoning Corridor in the east. It is simply a place of four battles. When fighting in Hebei, the ground on Yongping Prefecture is basically destroyed.
After Zhu Gaoxu entered the city, he looked at the low and dilapidated houses and dusty streets. He knew that this place was not economic, but only concerned about military affairs. The most luxurious building in the city was four city towers.
Yongping City is both a palace city and a cabin city. Both the government office and the guard command were built in the city. Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yongping City, the officials of the government office held a banquet to welcome him.
Zhu Gaoxu took Veda and others to the banquet and determined his authority to monopolize military and political affairs at the dinner table. In the early Ming Dynasty, the status of military officers was higher than that of civil servants, and Zhu Gaoxu was the son of the King of Yan, so there was almost no suspense who would be the boss here.
More than a thousand cavalry who accompanied him that night were stationed near the guard command office, including the county prince's mansion guard and the 800 cavalry given to him by the King of Yan. The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up and summoned the generals and started working.
Zhu Gaoxu first reorganized the people in his hands. The method was very simple: the cavalry generals suffered many people under Zhending City, and some were transferred away, and the generals were vacant; he asked the remaining 100 households to be promoted to the deputy 100 households, and the 100 households were promoted to the 100 households, and the 100 households were promoted to the 100 households, and the 100 households were promoted to the 100 households, and the 100 households were promoted to the 100 households, and so on to fill the vacancies. The sergeant was selected by the 100 households and the 100 households themselves to report.
Wang Bin served as a thousand cavalrymen, commanding the two rushing 800 cavalry. Chen Dachui was directly promoted to the Yi Guards, and temporarily commanding Zhu Gaoxu's guards for more than 200 cavalry. Anyway, the personal guards only need to follow the main general, not too much talent, loyalty is the most important.
After Zhu Gaoxu's deployment, he ordered Professor Hou Haideng to make a name for himself and review the generals. After working hard, the day passed again and the hour was already at You. He ordered the group to part and rest.
That night, Zhu Gaoxu lived in the Guard Command Office.
This yamen is so broken that it has not been renovated for more than ten or twenty years. Even the red paint on the wooden pillars has no longer been red at all, and it has fallen off and is mottled.
The whole yard is filled with a strange and complex smell, with the smell of sweat, musty smell, smoke ash smell, horse manure smell... all kinds of smells are mixed together, which is very rich.
In the inner house where Zhu Gaoxu lived, the bed was as hard as a stone. Under the dim light, the dark dirt in the room was unknown. He didn't fall asleep. He turned over several times and then put on his clothes and got up.
He wandered around the yard for a while and then wanted to go to the second hall. When he first walked to the gatehouse, he suddenly heard someone talking outside.
A man said in a voice: "Still hammer... Oh, now you have to call Chen Baihu. How can you become a Baihu at once??"
Chen Dachui said in his voice: "I don't want to be killed when I was beaten, you didn't see me, and you drooled when you eat meat?"
Then there was a burst of laughter that was not clear.
Chen Dachui's voice said again: "For the sake of the old brother, don't blame me for not teaching you. We are personal soldiers under the prince, and we have already taken the lead. In this war, there are many opportunities for meritorious service and promotion. We are afraid that we will not fight! People will die when we fight, and nothing will be left. We are afraid of death, so we can only stare at you and see your life!"
He paused for a while and muttered something beside him. He continued, "When the King of Yan arrives in the capital, a large number of people above will get out. Not to mention the title of marquis and ministers, there are a lot of good positions for glory and wealth. It depends on who has the ability, hehe..."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he thought that what Chen Dachui said was unique! There are so many soldiers, why did he take the lead at the critical moment and send it to the right place? This is not accidental, but it is exactly the same saying: Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
This guy Chen Dachui looks stupid, but his mind is indeed more flexible than other young men and has strong eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't plan to go out, so he turned back to the bedroom. He sat by the bed for a while, and thought in his mind that Chen Dachui said just now. Zhu Gaoxu thought more: Not everyone is unwilling to do civil war. There is a kind of person who is very happy, that is, those who are not successful yet; if they don't fight, they can't make a seat, and they can survive by just being able to endure the qualifications?
As long as the King of Yan succeeds, Zhu Gaoxu himself can be promoted to prince... The prince and the prince are both kings. At first glance, the difference is just the difference between the king with one word and the king with two words, but in fact, the difference is very different! Look at the scale of the Yan Palace, how rich and how many people are there; look at Zhu Gaoxu's own prince's mansion, the difference is very obvious.
In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxu was just a villain and still owed a lot of stock debts; but if he was a prince, he was inferior to one person and was above millions of people, and was respected and worshipped, and enjoyed the full-time service of countless people. The delicacies of mountains and seas are endless...
If Zhu Gaoxu could be the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he would be very satisfied!
But can you really enjoy it with peace of mind? A shadow that doesn't even look like a nightmare, and like a poisonous snake in your heart, tangles his bone marrow.
"Jigajiga..." The bed board made a sour teeth sound. After Zhu Gaoxu lay down, he turned over several times in a row.
A ray of moonlight flashed on his face, blue and white, like a grimace. The window was opened very high and small, and the dark light in the room shone in from that window.
Zhu Gaoxu repeatedly weighed: If the King of Yan succeeded here, the King of Yan would have a bad country. He said that he would replace the eldest son and let me be the heir for free. I don’t believe it at all!
As long as you are a prince in peace, is it OK?
"Jiga..." He turned over again and suddenly thought: In history, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled with the King of Yan. How could he raise troops and take a look at the routine? Why was he easily pressed to death by a boy who had just ascended the throne? He did not start a prodigal son? There were several rebellions in the Ming Dynasty, but only Zhu Di caused a big wave. The second son of the King of Yan had no situation to rebel.
Zhu Gaoxu had to think of a question: Did Zhu Gaoxu rebell in history?
The more he thinks about it, the colder he feels. If he doesn’t rebel, he will most likely be rebelled!
The more Zhu Gaoxu thought about this, the less he couldn't sleep. He almost didn't close his eyes all night. The next morning, his eyes seemed to have sand, and he felt uncomfortable left and right.
He was in no mood. He took a willow branch from the bucket and chewed it in his mouth, treating it as a matter of brushing his teeth. In fact, he already had a toothbrush at this time, dipped in green salt to brush his teeth.
The generals arrived at the lobby one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu sat in the seat and looked at them, as if he was patrolling his own strength.
