Chapter 46 Xu Miaoyun accidentally helped Xu Da
Seeing her father depressed, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Xu Miaoyun gently stroked her father's back and said: "Dad, didn't my daughter tell you before? There must be an expert behind your majesty. The sudden change in the strategy of the Northern Expedition must be the hand of an expert and not a whim of your majesty."
"It's just that His Majesty asked you to exterminate the weak Jurchen clan. This is surprising."
"Your Majesty has never advocated killing on the battlefield. I remember that Uncle Yuchun often used to trick and kill soldiers, and he was severely reprimanded and punished by your Majesty."
"And daddy, you always treat your subordinates favorably, and His Majesty highly praises you for this. There must be a reason why you are asked to do this this time."
Xu Da looked worried and patted the table depressedly: "Although there is a reason, it would be too cruel to do this. We are really worried that we will not be able to do it by then!"
"Your Majesty entrusts us to do such an immoral thing. Your father is in a dilemma. He is very depressed!"
Seeing his father's depressed look, Xu Miaoyun persuaded softly: "Okay - Dad, please stop complaining. Since His Majesty has given this order, there must be a reason for it. If you are not willing, I'm afraid you won't be able to report to His Majesty."
"If you really don't want to, just leave this matter to the people below. You can't see but keep quiet."
As he spoke, Xu Miaoyun gently stroked his father's back and said with concern:
"Dad, how is the arrow wound on your back? You don't have any old problems, do you?"
"It's okay, your father is dying, he won't die for a while, this little injury is fine!"
Xu Da waved his hand carelessly and changed the topic: "Girl, what do you think about what I told you last night? If you really don't want to, we will go to the superiors and take over the marriage."
"We can't let you suffer, girl!"
After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun shook her head slightly:
"Dad, no, now that the emperor has made the decision, how will the royal family lose their dignity if you accept the marriage proposal?"
"I agree to the marriage, but I haven't had contact with the third prince, fourth prince and fifth prince for many years. My daughter doesn't know them very well, so it's difficult to make a decision at the moment."
"Marriage is a major event in life, and my daughter doesn't want to marry herself off like this."
"My daughter wants to observe them for a while before making any plans."
Xu Da waved his hand, motioned for his daughter to sit over, and said with a wry smile:
"Weird dad, dad has made you feel wronged. The emperor proposed this marriage too suddenly, which caught us a little off guard. But you are right. Marriage is a major event in life. You can't be careless. Just pick it slowly. As for time, don't rush it. .”
Xu Miaoyun bit her red lips and nodded gratefully:
"Thank you dad!"
"Dad is about to go on the Northern Expedition, so don't worry about your daughter's marriage."
"My daughter is unfilial. She bought 120 acres of fertile land without consulting her father before. This has made her lose face in front of the emperor. Please punish her."
Xu Miaoyun Shi Shiran was about to kneel down.
Xu Da quickly stood up and stopped Xu Miaoyun.
"Daughter, how can I blame you for this? It's not easy for a girl like you to take care of your younger brothers and sisters while also managing the Duke's mansion."
"The matter of purchasing fertile land is over. Except for locking up Yongjiahou and the others, the superiors did not pursue anyone else."
"Maybe this will be a good thing for us."
"Good thing?"
Xu Miaoyun was taken aback.
"Yup!"
"My daughter, you see that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are buying fertile land. If Xu Da is alone, he will be misunderstood by his colleagues as being noble and slandered in private."
"Daughter, you are doing something wrong, but you are helping your father!"
Xu Da chuckled.
……
Forbidden City, Jinshen Hall.
Down in the morning.
Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao and went straight to Jinshen Hall without stopping.
"By the way, Father..."
While Zhu Biao was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to change his clothes, he said doubtfully: "What does this Hu Weiyong mean?"
"He actually took the initiative to intercede for Mr. Lin and arranged for him to serve as a foreign official. This is not like his style!"
"You must know that Mr. Lin is Liu Sanwu's student, and he belongs to the East Zhejiang Department, right?"
"Isn't he helping his political opponents?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his neck, beat his sore shoulders, and sneered:
"Boss, you didn't even notice this little trick of his? He is carrying people on a sedan chair!"
"The higher you lift it, the harder you fall!" "Do you still remember how Yang Xian died? Isn't that the trick!"
"You don't have to use a knife to kill someone!"
"Boss, you are the crown prince and will sit on the throne of the dragon in the future. Can't you tell from this?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao scratched his head in embarrassment.
If you think about it carefully, that's really the case.
No wonder Hu Weiyong was so attentive in court and behaved so abnormally... what a routine!
It turns out the real plot is here!
……
Simply had lunch.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son tidied up and prepared to visit the imperial prison again.
At this time, eunuch Liu He came in to report, and Captain Mao Xiang asked to see him outside the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said, "Xuan!"
Liu He shouted in a high voice:
"Meet you, Lieutenant Xuandu Mao!"
Mao Xiang, wearing a Feiyu suit, hurried in.
Kneel down on one leg,
"Your Majesty, Mao Xiang, comes to greet you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang tied his jade belt and asked: "Mao Xiang, what's the matter?"
Mao Xiang took out a memorial from his arms and handed it over:
"Your Majesty, the second prince asked the minister to send a memorial."
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tying the jade belt stiffened, and the jade belt was about to fall off.
Eunuch Liu He had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward to grab the jade belt and carefully tied it up.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "What did you do, little bastard, to be sent to prison? Why do you give me a discount?"
"I guess it's because of that Lin Che, the bastard is so restless, why should he follow?"
Zhu Biao stepped forward and took the memorial from Mao Xiang's hand and waved his hand.
Mao Xiang and eunuch Liu He both left the tight palace.
Zhu Biao opened the memorial and read it carefully before presenting it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, please take a look!"
"Father, the excerpt submitted by my second brother is about Mr. Lin's lecture."
"My son, I just made a comparison. The records are very detailed and there is no discrepancy with what we recorded."
"My second brother has made great progress during the half month he was in prison. He was able to write so much content silently. It really puts me, the older brother, to shame."
Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through the pages briefly and nodded:
"The content of the silent writing is quite detailed, but it is not as exaggerated as you said. I really must say that Lin Che taught me well!"
"There were so many great scholars in the university, but they couldn't help this bastard. However, when he met Lin Che in prison, with such a little nudge, Yu Mu's head actually started to wake up."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
You know, Zhu Ping's stubborn temper is very similar to his. What's wrong with him? The whip interrupted him and he didn't say a word of mercy.
But now, this bastard actually gave in to Lin Che again and again.
It seems that I have control over this boy's fate, and I can do whatever I want with it!
happy!
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, Zhu Biao struck while the iron was hot: "Father, in two days it will be the day when Qiu Hou will be asked to behead. Is it time to let him go?"
"Prime Minister Hu took the initiative to plead for Mr. Lin in the court today. I think it would be better for my father to do a favor and agree to Prime Minister Hu's request."
"Also, my second brother has always been impulsive and reckless..."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said worriedly:
"If you just leave your second brother alone, there's no guarantee that big trouble won't happen."
"I hope my father will think twice!"
