Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 3: Fist, before it strikes

Chen Ce looked up at Zhu Houzhao for a while. Although he felt curious, after all, who wouldn't want to take a look at this strange emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

But that's all.

Zhu Houzhao found it boring and he didn't want to stay with a consumptive patient for long. It was not fun at all.

Although this consumptive patient looked a bit like his younger brother who died young, he was not really the same after all.

"Well, let it go since I recognized the wrong person."

"I'll go to Shuntian Prefecture and let them know. They won't bother you anymore."

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Thank you."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. You are lucky. Fortunately, I was the one who investigated you. If you want to change someone, you can't settle it without money."

"Okay, that's it. I'm going to the northwest now, let's meet again when we have time."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and walked away in a graceful manner.

Chen Ce stopped him in astonishment and asked, "You? Going to the northwest?"

You are the crown prince. Why are you going to the northwest instead of studying in the Eastern Palace?
If the palace knew about this, there would be huge uproar.

After all, he is the only prince and crown prince of the empire. It is such a big country, and something is going to happen to the country. The Ming Dynasty has to let Xiandao ascend the throne in advance.

And once you leave, the palace might come to investigate me again. After all, I was the last person you had contact with.

Chen Ce didn't want to get into trouble, nor did he want to spend energy dealing with these things.

Zhu Houzhao said arrogantly: "Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states of Guanshan!"

"I'm going to help Wang Yue fight."

There was a hint of longing in his eyes, as if he was already on the battlefield, imitating the champion Hou who rode through the desert, riding his horse and waving the whip, going in and out seven times.

Chen Ce was shocked and asked, "Has the emperor ordered General Wang to attack Helan Mountain?"

While Chen Ce was farming, he gained a lot of knowledge about Ming history. He had nothing to do during the year and spent most of his time reading. He was able to read ten lines at a glance and had a very high comprehension ability, so he naturally knew that this year, the veteran Wang Yue would break through the Helan Mountain Pass and sing the last battle song of his life.

Wang Yue was a rare Confucian general in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Under his leadership, Hami was as solid as a rock.

The Seven Guards of Guanxi are an important barrier to protect the northwest. Hami is the gateway to the northwest. If the Ming court loses it, the Seven Guards of Guanxi will be lost. If the Seven Guards of Guanxi are lost, all the land outside Gansu will be completely handed over.

It seems that Wang Yue will die this year...

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "Not yet, but the civil officials have written to my father... to the emperor many times, saying that Wang Yue has been hiding and cowardly, and has wasted a lot of military funds. The emperor has wavered."

"This war will begin soon!"

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao threw his cloak behind him, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion: "This time I want to show the masculinity of the Han men, kill him and make his horse fall to the ground, with heads rolling, and achieve unprecedented merits, let the horses drink water from the vast sea, and seal the Wolf's Lair!"

"How about it, do you think I'm awesome?"

Chen Ce: “…”

Talented, who among the emperors doesn't want to hold the power of the world while drunk and sleep on the lap of a beauty? But you are an exception.

Oh, there was also a God of War Emperor who might have had the same fantasy back then, but he was hospitalized by the Oirat people and stayed as a guest.

Chen Ce raised his fist and placed it in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao stepped back suddenly, and said fiercely: "Want to fight with me?"

"I tell you, I can beat a consumptive bastard like you with one punch!"

Chen Ce was speechless and asked, "Were you scared just now?"

Zhu Houzhao was really frightened by Chen Ce's sudden punch. Aren't you trying to sneak attack? How can this be done by a gentleman? It's not a martial ethics. "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid at all. I even look down on you a little."

Chen Ce smiled and said, "This is not what I want to tell you."

"Before the fist is thrown, the threat is always the greatest."

"The guillotine will always frighten people until it is put down."

I rely on!

What you said makes sense, and it’s a bit pretentious… No, why are you, a consumptive idiot, suddenly showing off?

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Ce with a fierce face and asked doubtfully, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Ce said: "I don't recommend Wang Yue to send troops. Although General Wang Yue is very capable, he is over seventy years old and can't stand this ordeal."

"Old General Wang Yue is the fist and guillotine of the Ming Dynasty."

There is no need to say much about Wang Yue's military achievements. The Battle of Hongyanchi, the Battle of Weininghai, and the Battle of Yansui, the three wars in the Chenghua Dynasty have already made him famous. He was able to beat the ancestors of the Tatars, let alone the grandchildren of the Tatars now?
The little prince is just a little kid in front of Wang Yue.

As long as he doesn't die, and continues to govern Hami for a while and trains some talents to take over his baton, Hami will be stabilized and the northwestern gateway will be able to rest assured.

Of course, the most important thing is that you, the troublesome prince, don't have to go to the northwest, thus avoiding the trouble of the court investigating me.

"The battlefield is ever-changing, and we have to travel long distances. If General Wang gets into trouble, the Ming Dynasty will lose its fist and guillotine to threaten the enemy, which is not worth the loss."

"Hiddening is not cowardice, it is to accumulate strength in your fist so that you can finally deliver a fatal blow."

Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips, savoring Chen Ce's words and feeling that they made more and more sense.

Still very pretentious!
I will go back to the palace and talk to my father about this. Won’t I shock him?
You say every day that I like to make trouble, but now I’m showing you my fists and asking you if you’ll accept it or not.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said calmly: "Not bad, a little insightful."

OMG!

Why didn’t I think of these? God has given me a noble status, but has that made me lose such wisdom?

Why should such wisdom be bestowed upon this consumptive man!
It's not fair!

Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "I have something else to do, let's have a deeper discussion another day."

He strode out of the room, throwing his mink cloak behind him.

Chen Ce reminded: "It's snowy outside and the roads are slippery, be careful."

"hehe."

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "Do you believe that I can still jump a few steps? You don't understand the basic skills of us warriors. Places like this are as easy to walk on as flat ground... plop."

Zhu Houzhao staggered and sat down, saying calmly, "Not bad, sitting and appreciating the snow scene is quite interesting."

He stood up, brushed the snow off his butt, and walked out.

"Hey, wait a minute." Chen Ce called him again.

Brother, are you annoying me? Do you really have to make me tell you that I fell?

Chen Ce said to Zhu Houzhao, "Master Zhu, you broke my door when you came."

Chen Ce pointed at his own door.

Zhu Houzhao widened his eyes and asked, "You called me just for this?"
"Come and pay the money another day. Sorry for bothering me if I have any questions."

After saying this, he hurried away for a long distance, his face burning and his eyes filled with tears. The fall just now almost broke him in pieces!

Can’t this poor guy build a stone road in front of his house?
