NOVEL WEB Chapter 20
Chapter 20: Zhu Di Goes South (Second)
The 23rd year of Hongwu was undoubtedly a turbulent year.
Soon after Zhu Bo left, the entire court situation changed drastically.
This year, on the second day of the third lunar month, the clothing of officials and the people was decided: all officials’ clothes were wide and narrow, and their body was the measure. The coat of the civil servant is long, from the collar to the descendant, one inch off the ground; the sleeve length reaches the elbow, the sleeve is one foot wide, and the cuff is nine inches. Duke, Hou, Consort and civil servants are the same. The elders, Confucian scholars, and clergymen have the same civil service system, but the sleeve length is less than three inches of the elbow.
This year, Li Shanchang was questioned by Hu Weiyong’s party, and Zhu Yuanzhang executed Li Shanchang, his wife, daughter, brother and nephew together with more than 70 people.
Before he was executed, Li Shanchang took out the iron coupon and said to Lao Zhu, “You can’t kill me. I have the iron coupon, which can save myself from two deaths and my son’s death.” However, Lao Zhu said with a gloomy face: ” Take a good look at the words on the back of the death-free iron coupon.” After reading it, Li Shanchang shouted, “My life is over.”
This year, King Di of Yan led Fu Youde and others to attack the remaining troops of the Beiyuan Lao faction, and the Prime Minister of Beiyuan surrendered. Most of the surrendered troops were commanded by the King of Yan, and the troops of Yan became stronger.
It can be said that in just a few months since Zhu Bo left, the entire Ming Dynasty has undergone great changes.
Even one of his eldest brothers set themselves on fire for being implicated in the Hu Weiyong case.
And this is just the beginning.
With the unexpected death of Prince Zhu Biao more than a year later, the turmoil in the entire court will reach a more terrifying level.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhu Bo, and the King of Yan Zhu Di.
At this time, Zhu Di had just returned from the crusade against Beiyuan, when he received an edict from Lao Zhu.
Without stopping, he rushed towards Lao Zhu’s place.
“Father!”
Seeing Lao Zhu, Zhu Di hurriedly greeted him.
“You’re here, your twelfth brother has been found.”
Looking at Zhu Di, Lao Zhu nodded and opened his mouth with a smile.
And his words immediately made Zhu Di look overjoyed.
“Twelfth brother found.”
Zhu Di couldn’t help but spoke excitedly.
To be honest, when he heard that the Twelfth Brother was missing before, he was undoubtedly very anxious, and even had the urge to find it himself.
If it wasn’t for the task that his father had arranged for him, he would be ready to look for it.
Unexpectedly, he just got back from the war and got good news.
“This is the memorial of Qiongzhou Mansion, take a look!”
Lao Zhu nodded, and then handed over the two memorials to Zhu Di from the bookcase.
“Yes!”
Zhu Di was a little puzzled, but he still subconsciously took the manuscript.
Just as soon as the playbook was opened, Zhu Di couldn’t help being stunned.
“This!”
The words spoke with disbelief and astonishment.
His eyes instantly turned to Lao Zhu.
“That’s the way it is. We think Wang Qiuhao and Wang You dare not fool us, but seeing is believing and hearing is false. Fourth son, I want you to come and take a look.”
“First, confirm the situation of your twelfth brother, and second, verify whether it is true.”
Facing Zhu Di’s gaze, Lao Zhu naturally understood what his son was thinking, so he didn’t beat around the bush, but spoke directly.
That’s right, let Zhu Di go and see.
On the one hand, the relationship between the fourth son and the twelve sons has always been good.
After experiencing the burning and death of Tan Wangzi, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little cautious.
I am afraid that this problem will occur again.
On the other hand, I was also afraid of something going wrong. My four sons were very capable of leading troops.
And Qiongzhou Mansion, especially in the south, may encounter pirates at any time, which made him have to worry.
“By the way, take two of the twelve sons of Beiping and the twelve guards, plus the tiger guard, to assist your twelve younger brother.”
“If there is a need, you can also stay in Qiongzhou Mansion for a while.”
“You can also ask your twelfth brother if you have any requirements, as long as it’s not too much, we can meet it.”
“By the way, if he’s not used to it, we can change the seal for him.”
As if thinking of something, Lao Zhu couldn’t help but speak.
This one at this moment is not like an emperor, nor is it like the one who kills decisively, but is just an old father.
It’s like an old father whose son ran away from home and finally came back.
With tension, with apprehension.
As Lao Zhu spoke, Zhu Di listened carefully.
Until Lao Zhu’s words came to an end.
“Yes, Erchen understands!”
Zhu Di responded respectfully without any hesitation.
Subsequently.
Zhu Di slowly exited the hall.
Get ready quickly.
It’s just that at this moment, he is not starting from the north, but the south.
The twelve guards of Peiping, and now he brought back only two guards.
And listening to Zhu Yuanzhang meant that the two guards had to be handed over to the 12th younger brother.
Zhu Di has no complaints about this, and he is also full of worries about his twelfth younger brother.
At this moment, he is not the Emperor Yongle.
Now that Zhu Biao has not died, he does not have any ideas.
In this case, he naturally wouldn’t care too much about the military power.
At least compared to his own twelve younger brother, it is really nothing.
Now that the 12th brother has been found, he is undoubtedly relieved.
It even made him a little impatient.
The preparation time was less than three days, and Zhu Di set off directly.
And it wasn’t a more comfortable land route. In order to meet Zhu Bo as soon as possible, Zhu Di directly chose to travel by land and sea.
You must know that this is ancient times, and the sea route is not something that princes and nobles can bear.
But Zhu Di didn’t care about that.
Three days later, more than 20 huge sailboats set sail and quickly headed south.
The two Beiping guards and all the tiger guards were present, a total of nearly 20,000 people.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the guards can be said to be extremely complete. The number of guards in one guard has reached more than 5,600, and the number of guards in Peiping has reached more than 10,000. In addition to the tiger guards, the number has reached more than 17,000. people.
It can be said that Lao Zhu directly gave Zhu Bo a wave of epic reinforcements.
It’s just that Lao Zhu at this time didn’t know that his twelve sons didn’t seem to need this support.
