The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 65 His Great Grandfather
"Not daring to act rashly means there is still a possibility of taking action?" Zhu Houzhao asked back.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing his arrogance and disdain: "Besides, why would this prince be afraid of him?

One Kublai Khan and a hundred thousand cavalrymen.

Hahaha, this is just the right time for this prince to have some fun. One strong slave is not enough to fight. "

Hey.

Wang Shouren sighed inwardly. Although he knew this would happen before he spoke, he still felt a headache.

Your Highness, you are easily provoked.

In other words, they are too lawless and overbearing and will not tolerate any provocation.

I'm afraid that even if it's a slightly prominent dog, any dog ​​barking louder on the roadside will be beaten a few times by His Highness and suppressed.

Moreover, this time the safety of tens of thousands of border troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gansu Town is involved.

He knew that no one could persuade him, but he still had to say some things.

"Your Highness, some things do not have to be resolved by force, which will only waste people's money and time, and cause many soldiers and civilians to lose their lives.

For example, at this time, Jiannu has been eliminated by us.

The Mongols' best partner was gone, and the crisis of the Mongols and the Jian Nu joining forces disappeared.

Our Ming Dynasty is already invincible."

"The Mongols are only trying to provoke Your Highness to fight. Why does Your Highness insist on being fooled?

As long as we return from Jiayuguan and stay away from the border, the Mongols will never dare to penetrate into our Ming Dynasty.

They can only train soldiers in vain and watch us return to the capital." Wang Shouren said earnestly.

Zhu Ye and the others present nodded, thinking it made sense.

“Humph, what a joke.” Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, his face showing anger, and he said angrily: “Doesn’t that mean that this prince is afraid of him?
Besides, can we come and go as we please at the border of the Ming Dynasty? Can we threaten as we please?
This prince does not want any casualties among his brothers in the Emperor Wu Dragon Riders, but some battles must be fought.

It is your idea of ​​not fighting if possible that allows the Oirat and Tatar to harass my border every year and kill my Ming people.

Do you think that they are just a few Ming Dynasty citizens and are not important at all, not worth making a war for, so you can just endure it?

Ridiculous, coward, bastard, his mother, his grandfather.

A bunch of bastards who took offerings from the people of the Ming Dynasty."

“What happened in the past is in the past, and this prince cannot intervene. But from now on, as long as this prince is still alive, I will never allow anyone to dare to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty or violate the prestige of our country.

If Kublai Khan dares to come, then let him come.

Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving.

This prince will beat him so that he won’t dare to come again.”

"Emperor Wu Dragon Riders, set off."

Zhu Houzhao became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Pointing at Wang Shouren and the others and scolding them, he gave an order and strode out of the tent.

"Yes." Mu Kun and Qiu Yue responded immediately with enthusiasm on their faces and followed him out of the tent.

Liu Jin, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, and Cao Shaoqin didn't even look at Wang Shouren and others, and followed their own princes away.

Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng looked at each other and smiled.

"Mr. Wang and Yan Nantian are just ordinary people who don't understand so much.

But I think your highness is right." Yan Nantian said solemnly, and walked out with Zhao Zheng who nodded in agreement.

The rest of the people looked at each other, shocked and more or less ashamed.

"Your Highness really taught me a lesson." Wang Shouren shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Brother!" Li Xunhuan looked at Wang Shouren with a little worry.

This was the first time in several years that His Highness had been so angry with Wang Shouren.

"It's okay." Wang Shouren shook his head and said seriously: "Your Highness is right, I am biased."

I became alert in my heart.

The higher you are in the government, the further away you are from the people. Maybe I should go visit the people if I have a chance.

"Mr. Wang, let's finish this as soon as possible." Zhu Ye said at this time.

After saying this, he nodded and left the tent.

There was no worry in his eyes, because he knew that the prince was not scolding him, and he was just worried about the prince's safety.

On the contrary, he was quite excited at this moment.

Taizong~!

Was Emperor Taizong also so domineering and powerful back then?
Not far outside the tent, in a shady place, an old man, who seemed invisible to anyone, smiled with satisfaction.

"Xunhuan, we need to speed up the next thing and must go to support His Highness as soon as possible." Wang Shouren took a breath and said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Li Xunhuan nodded.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao led 4,000 Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry and 5,000 slave soldiers and returned to Gansu Town first.

Zhu Ye rushed to notify the more than 5,000 Emperor Wu Dragon Riders who were still in Shengjing City, as well as Zhu Wusi and Xu Ruowu, as quickly as possible.

Wang Shouren no longer thought about gaining more benefits from Jiannu. He issued orders one by one to finish the work and return.

On a low hill more than a hundred miles away.

"Hey, hey, now I'm the one stopping you.

I want to see who will win between your little prince and Kublai Khan?" The figure in the ice mask said with a strange smile.

Duke Zheng snorted coldly and said nothing.

Only a hint of worry arose in my heart.

But he couldn't leave, because the old monster in front of him wouldn't let him go.

Most of the benefits that the Ming Dynasty gained from Jiannu were in Wang Shouren's hands, so he also had to keep an eye on it.

September 24, the 16th year of the Hongzhi reign, was Zhu Houzhao's twelfth birthday, which he spent on the march.

It was also the simplest birthday he had ever had.

At this time, the two Wudi Dragon Riders had already joined together.

Thanks to the large number of war horses harvested from Jiannu, Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry had four horses each, and the slave soldiers also had three horses each, and they marched at an extremely high speed of 280 miles a day.

After three days of walking, they began to slow down, marching at a speed of about 230 miles a day.

On the way, news was constantly reported to Zhu Houzhao.

It also includes an imperial edict from the capital.

Invite the prince back to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Tell my father that I will return to Beijing after obtaining Kublai Khan's head." After reading the imperial edict, Zhu Houzhao casually threw it to Liu Jin and said to the old eunuch in front of him.

Wang Zhi, who had traveled all the way here at great length, took a look at the imperial edict that was not taken seriously and could not help but smile bitterly. As expected, the prince would not return to Beijing.

Helpless, he could only say: "My Lord, His Majesty misses you and wants you to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Go back and tell my father to think about it for a few more days. This prince will be back soon." Zhu Houzhao said confidently.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is in poor health, so he wants you to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Wang Zhi had no choice but to tell half the truth.

The dragon's poor health is half the problem.

The other half was not wanting the prince to confront Kublai Khan head-on.

"Oh, my father is often ill, and you still want to fool me?" Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly, and said solemnly: "What's more, how can we ignore the war because of personal feelings?
He is still the emperor, and I am the crown prince, so I can't do that even more.

Go back and tell my father to watch carefully. It's just Kublai Khan and 100,000 cavalrymen. I killed them all without leaving a single soldier."

Wang Zhi was speechless, he had no other choice.

He said respectfully, "My Lord, His Majesty said that if you really don't want to return to the capital, then I will stay with you, so I can help."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Zhi and nodded.
