Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 41 Calculating the time, it’s time to go to the vassal state
After waiting for a while.

Zhuang Mu prepared two glasses of warm wine.

Pushed in front of Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di took it, he turned around and sat on the recliner, then drank the wine in the glass.

Zhuang Mu suddenly realized something, ran upstairs, and took a quilt.

It was placed on Zhu Di.

This bed and bedding were left behind by Zhu Di when he stayed here last time, and they just came in handy.

If the old man sleeps without a blanket, especially in winter, he will definitely get cold as he is already quite old.

……

In sleep.

Compared with the previous two dreams, this time Zhu Di seemed much calmer when facing the dark environment around him.

Thinking back to when he woke up from the dream three days ago, it should have been after he defeated Xu Yungong, and he chatted with his father-in-law Xu Da.

The moment you are ready to go back to sleep.

Come to think of it, it is at that moment that one should fall asleep.

However, it was not that night when the surrounding environment appeared.

"Strange, why is it the next morning?"

The sun was particularly glaring today. There was no one else around him, and Xu Miaoyun had already gotten up.

Although I don’t quite understand why this time I entered the dream the next day, it’s not a big problem.

After Xu Da got up, he saw Xu Yungong, who was wrapped in gauze, sitting in a wheelchair, and there was a bit more awe in his eyes when he looked at him.

Looking at Xu Yungong with a slightly awed expression.

Zhu Di was very pleased.

Then, Zhu Di took the fat boy Zhu Gaochi from Xu Miaoyun and asked.

"Miaoyun, where is your father-in-law? Why didn't I see him this morning?"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di in surprise: "Father has gone to the morning court."

The outbreak of the Hu Weiyong case resulted in the court being short of a large number of officials.

In his early years, Xu Da had served as prime minister. As a general and prime minister, he naturally became a civil servant temporarily.

To help Zhu Yuanzhang handle state affairs, officials had to attend the morning court if there were a lot of things to do.

There may also be midday or even evening court sessions.

Zhu Di felt a little dizzy and coughed twice: "My memory is a little confused."

He originally wanted to say that he was old and confused, but he was afraid that Xu Miaoyun would see through him, so he stopped immediately.

At this time, Xu Yungong came slowly to Zhu Di in a wheelchair.

His eyes were fixed on Zhu Di, and before Zhu Di could react, he heard what Xu Yungong said.

"Where did you learn that skill?"

The tone was awkward yet sincere, like a pure boy confessing his love.

Xu Miaoyun was a little surprised when she heard what Xu Yungong said.

However, she was willing to see Zhu Di and Xu Yungong living in harmony, which was what she wanted to see.

Zhu Di laughed.

"You want to learn?"

Xu Yungong nodded.

He was not good at speaking, and all he knew was that he was the eldest son of Xu Da, Duke of Wei.

You need to be able to bear the three words "Duke Xu".

It became the "Great Wall" of the Ming Dynasty.

However, perhaps due to stupidity, whether it was training martial arts, military tactics, or performing martial arts.

The results were not outstanding.

In the martial arts performance in Fengyang Prefecture a few days ago, although he defeated Zhu Di, he only got fourth place.

First place: Mu Chun, second place: Zhu Gang, third place: Li Jinglong and Wu Gao tied for first place.

Although my father often reminded himself that these rankings were not important.

Martial arts performances cannot represent a real battlefield, but when they looked down on Zhu Di, it was because Zhu Di ranked last in the martial arts performances.

Participants in the Fengyang Martial Arts Show were basically descendants of heroes who had made great contributions to the founding of the country, or they were princes.

"I want to know why you are making rapid progress."

"Next time Fengyang performs martial arts, I want to take first place."

Xu Yungong asked sincerely.

Zhu Di simply gave a light explanation. "The battlefield is a good place to hone one's character, as long as you can survive the battlefield."

"Don't focus on your ranking in martial arts performances."

"Those are all fake. You can only know the real ability on the battlefield."

Xu Yungong looked at Zhu Di with some disbelief.

Go to the battlefield?
Zhu Di stayed in Yingtian Prefecture or Fengyang Prefecture these days.

When did you go to the battlefield?
After a moment's silence, Xu Yungong said calmly: "If you don't want to teach me, just say so. There's no need to deceive me with such words."

After saying that, Xu Yungong signaled the servant behind him to push him away.

Seeing that Xu Yungong didn't believe it, Zhu Di didn't explain.

“Believe it or not, practice is the key to true growth.”

All his military talents now.

Part of it was acquired during the time when he served as Prince of Yan in Peking, under the careful instruction of Xu Da, as well as through repeated practice.

The rest was gained through practice during the Jingnan period under the pressure of death.

Li Jinglong is actually a very typical case.

Before the Jingnan Rebellion broke out, Li Jinglong inherited the title of Li Wenzhong.

My father values him very much.

He was sent to Huguang, Shaanxi, Henan and other places for military training many times, and was ordered to be in charge of the tea-horse trade in the Western Regions. He was even promoted to the position of the Left Army Governor's Office and was conferred the title of Prince Taifu.

Looks amazing.

But if you look closely, you can find that Li Jinglong has basically no practical experience.

Either train troops or go to Xifan to manage the tea-horse trade.

Not to mention leading troops alone, he didn't even have any practical experience in accompanying the army in battle.

On the contrary, Xu Yungong had much richer practical experience. He assisted Xu Da in handling the defense of Peking many times and also had experience in fighting against Japanese pirates along the coast.

There was also experience in conquering the Western Barbarians, but perhaps Xu Yungong did not achieve much in these battles.

But experience is always better than no experience.

"practice……"

Zhu Di didn't care too much about Xu Yungong's reaction.

Anyway, he won't rebel this time.

Xu Yungong's abilities have been greatly improved, and it has nothing to do with him.

If it were in reality, he would definitely not do this. He would not be so foolish as to create a powerful enemy for himself.

……

Fengtian Temple.

Xu Da looked at the empty space around him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

You know, in the early years of Hongwu, he also served as prime minister.

There were so many officials in the Fengtian Hall that there was no room for them to stand. But now, there are only a few officials in the back, and there are only about 20 to 30 officials in total.

Most were either killed or imprisoned.

"Tian De, are you worried?"

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a dragon robe, looked at Xu Da calmly.

The dragon power on his body is looming, making people afraid.

Beside him stood Zhu Biao, who was also wearing a yellow robe, but without the embroidered dragon.

Xu Da slowly raised his head and said, "I don't have any worries."

"However, the court is short of officials, and the court does not know where to recruit officials. The burden on the emperor and the prince is a bit too heavy."

A shrewd look flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Biaoer and I have plenty of time to deal with state affairs."

"Besides, don't we still have you, Xu Tiande?"

Xu Da quickly responded, "But Your Majesty, this is not a long-term solution. There are still military affairs in Peking that have not been dealt with."

"It's probably piled up into a mountain now."

Obviously, Xu Da was unable to take care of both sides.

The north cannot do without Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang said after thinking for a moment.

"In a few days, I will personally select some officials to supplement the court."

"When you go back to Peking, take Old Four with you."

"According to the time, it's time for him to go to the vassal state."
