Zhu Di didn't think that the news of the expedition could be concealed, so he didn't hide it.
While the various guards in the capital were actively preparing, the news had spread like wildfire.
Zhu gaochi is still as motionless as a mountain. His daily political affairs are in good order, so that Zhu Di can rest assured to prepare for the northern expedition.
Zhu Zhanji thought for a long time in the house. Until night, he finally couldn't bear it. He entered the palace. He still wanted to go to the northern expedition.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson feels hot when he thinks about the northern expedition. Can you..."
"No!"
Zhu Di coldly refused him. Seeing that he was a little lost, he frowned and said, "when you get there, there are almost no foreign enemies. Wenzhi is the best."
Zhu Zhanji said unconvinced, "Grandpa Huang, there are big countries overseas!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Di stroked his beard and said with a smile, "you are ambitious, but it has nothing to do with me. I..."
Zhu Di sat for a long time and got up with some difficulties. Zhu Zhanji hurried to help him up. When he turned sideways, he saw the white hair on the temples and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Daming's national strength is here. My wish is to wipe out the enemies in the north. After that, Daming will have at least 200 years of peace."
Zhu Di moved his body, looked at the outside and said, "when I was young, I was granted Peiping by my father emperor, and then I often went out to attack the remnants of Mengyuan, so I know the truth that the north is uneven and the Ming Dynasty is restless."
Zhu Di gently broke away from Zhu Zhanji's support and walked slowly to the gate. As he walked, he said, "if they can defeat ha lie in this war, they will divide internally and have no strength to compete with Daming. In the future... The enemies in the north can only come from the far north. It is said that it is very cold there and can raise good horses and brave men. At that time, you can send someone to have a look and make preparations as soon as possible."
Zhu Di went outside the gate, looked at the lights far and near with his negative hand, exhaled heavily, looked at the slight white fog dispersed, smiled, and his eyes turned soft.
"When you were a child, you liked to exhale in winter, and then use your hands to catch the exhaled fog. If you can't catch it, you'll cry to me, and then I......"
Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, then spread his eyebrows and said, "then I'll let someone boil water in the hall. The hall is full of fog. Just laugh and make trouble in the fog, ha ha!"
Zhu Di smiled happily, but he didn't see Zhu Zhanji behind him in tears.
"You are still young and have plenty of time to toss around. The south is just going to sea. I ordered Zheng He and others to build a treasure ship in Jinling earlier. They have come out and will go to sea next year. You can follow if you like..."
……
Zhu Zhanji went out of the main hall in a muddle headed manner and walked all the way in the palace. The eunuch in front of him was carrying lanterns and shining in all directions.
Zhu Zhanji always felt that when he heard someone whispering, his ears were buzzing and his head was a little dizzy.
"Who?!"
At this time, the eunuch in front gave a low drink. Zhu Zhanji looked up and saw a flattering yellow Yan on his face.
This old dog dares to run around at night. It's really evil.
"Your Highness, please see me, it's an organic secret..."
Huang Yan smiled flatteringly, and then his face turned a whole, stared at the eunuchs who accompanied Zhu Zhanji out of the palace, and motioned them to avoid quickly.
Zhu Zhanji said coldly, "private affairs?"
Huang Yan immediately changed his flattering face: "yes, your highness, it's very confidential."
Young people are always curious about unknown and interesting things. If they don't ask clearly, their heart is like being scratched by a cat.
But Zhu Zhanji said faintly, "you should tell Grandpa Huang about the secret, instead of blocking my way... What's your intention?"
Huang Yan's face instantly turned into fear and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the maidservant is in a hurry for a moment and has no intention..."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed. At last, he remembered that the northern expedition was imminent and could not distract Zhu Di. Only then did he accept the killing heart, and then walked over without squinting.
Huang Yan was in a cold sweat. He hurried to the side and continued to kneel. He didn't dare to get up until Zhu Zhanji disappeared.
As the lanterns faded away, Huang Yan squinted until the lights disappeared.
In the dark environment, the muscles on Huang Yan's face trembled and his eyes narrowed into a triangle.
For a long time, he slowly regressed, and suddenly he laughed
……
The preparations for the northern expedition were carried out in an orderly manner, and the most tired were the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war.
Xia Yuanji was so busy that he pulled masu out and ran around with him. Then he asked him what data he didn't know.
250000 troops and 180000 people needed huge supplies to support them. Ma Su followed suit and felt that he was really a frog at the bottom of a well before.
Dragging his tired body back home, after dinner, Ma Su thought about the course of the day, and then went to see Xie Jin.
Xie Jin is at home, walking around the yard with his little grandson.
Seeing him bend over and make do with the appearance of his little grandson, masu smiled and saluted.
"Xia Yuanji is going crazy?"
Xie Jin asked with a smile, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
Ma Su followed him, smiled at you you, and then said, "yes, your majesty ordered to prepare for the northern expedition. The Ministry of household is the busiest and needs to mobilize supplies and forages. Fortunately, there are potatoes, and nuergandisi has stockpiled a lot of rice, which has been successively transported to the Xuanfu, so it's only busy, but there's no need to worry."
Xie Jin sighed, "this is your Majesty's last northern expedition. Xia Yuanji knows it, and so do the civil and military people in the court. I ask you, compared with your majesty today, why do you think emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed?"
Ma Su was stunned and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty has been in the army all his life. His ability to expedition is probably rare among emperors. First, your majesty can hold down all civil and military officials. After the Ming Dynasty seized the rivers and mountains from Meng Yuan, the new gate did not appear. This is the unity of the whole people. With these two advantages, your majesty can certainly defeat the Haley people."
"Yes!"
Xie Jin sighed: "Your Majesty, you can conquer foreign nationalities in the north, and you can suppress all officials. These emperors... Are unspeakable."
"Go to the back house and tell them about Dehua's recent situation, and then tell them that his majesty is going to the northern expedition, so as to calm their hearts. Alas! I regret teaching my husband to find a marquis!"
So masu went to the back house.
As soon as I went in, I saw potatoes running in the yard with peace, and the big and small insects in the back were chasing, while Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai sat under the eaves and looked at the scene with a smile.
"Teacher and mother."
Zhang Shuhui said with a smile, "but there's news from your teacher?"
Although Zhu Zhanji often sends people to tell Fang Xing the news, masu has Zhang Shuhui's trust.
Xiaobai also listened quietly.
"Yes, ma'am. The teacher defeated the vara department and died in the war. All the foreign nationalities in the north have been obedient."
"What about the harites?"
Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai are studying the war situation in the north recently. If they don't understand it, they ask people to consult Huang Zhong in the outer court. They also know something.
Ma Su lowered his eyes and said, "Ha lie's small group of people have appeared on the grassland and have been defeated by the teacher. The news comes that his majesty is ready to fight for Daming... Daming will be quiet for a long time after this war."
Zhang Shuhui nodded and said, "that's good. It's said that HA lie people were brave and covetous to Daming. We women don't know how to help. It's just a intention to donate some money and food to the Ministry of household."
Ma Su quickly replied, "yes, I'll go to the Ministry of household tomorrow."
After Ma Su left, Zhang Shuhui looked at the two children running crazy in the yard without knowing their worries. She sighed and asked, "where's worry free?"
After Fang woke up and left, Tudou and Ping'an studied as usual, while Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were happy to tease worry free.
Xiaobai was thinking about Fang Xing. She was stunned when she heard the speech and said, "just now mother Qin went to see Rhubarb in her arms."
"Oh!"
Zhang Shuhui immediately restored silence.
The yard was full of children's noise, but Zhang Shuhui's eyebrows were more melancholy.
Ling Dang lies on the side, occasionally opens his eyes to see the children and dogs playing in the yard, and then closes his eyes again
