Li Jinglong is the most favored military general at the time, and he is like a new rising star. His father Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. Among the founding heroes, he was enough to enter the third place. As for why Zhu Yuanzhang favored Li Jinglong, Zhu Zhi knew it. Isn't it because Li Wenzhong died inexplicably? He also led the military commander of the Five Cities, which was a measure for Zhu Yuanzhang to rectify the defense of the capital.

But why did Zhu Zhi always associate his appointment with Lan Yu? Did Zhu Yuanzhang not see that Lan Yu had already resigned from the general? Could it be that resigning from military power and training outside the country could not alleviate Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred towards Lan Yu? Zhu Zhi was a little confused about the current direction of the court.

Zhu Zhi's butt has gradually recovered under Xiu'er's careful care. After lying for more than 20 days, Zhu Zhi was also tired of lying. In Nanjing, where heavy snow fell, Zhu Zhi wanted to go out to see the charm of the thousand-year-old ancient capital in the snow. He went to the wall of Ming to see the vast frost sky of Xuanwu Lake. However, Guo Xiu was like a fierce supervisor and stared at his every move. He didn't go out within 20 days. It was snowing today, and he was very sermoned. Guo Xiu allowed him to enter the park to enjoy the snow, but he had been busy for a long time just preparing. First, he placed four carbon basins around the pavilion, and then hung two curtains in the north, saying that it was to block the wind. Finally, Guo Xiu called four servants and actually carried himself into the pavilion.

That's great. Zhu Zhi never works. After all, she is a prince. She is carried to the yard like a turtle. How many servants will laugh at her? Guo Xiu doesn't think so. Zhu Zhi's butt is bigger than the sky for her. She will not allow any action to affect her husband's recovery.

Zhu Zhi said, if you can't carry it, you can't go out. Guo Xiu said, if you don't carry it, you won't let it go out. Zhu Zhi said, in fact, he can turn it over and lie down for a while without any trouble, but there is no problem; Guo Xiu's eyebrows stand up, you just do whatever you want when you can't see you, that's even worse.

In the end, Zhu Zhi had to obey his wife who firmly protected his butt, and lay on the soft couch and was carried to the pavilion. The pavilion was warm, and a charcoal pot was still warm. Zhu Zhi and his wife held the wine opposite each other in this warm pavilion, enjoying the peace after the snow.

Seeing Guo Xiu pouring herself a glass of warm rice wine and two plums, Zhu Zhi felt warm in her heart. The so-called love over time may be like this. Since she came to the Ming Dynasty, Guo Xiu has always been her closest person. Her meticulous care for herself made Zhu Zhi feel the warmth of home.

Especially during the last assassin incident, Guo Xiu's soft little hands felt the feeling of relish for a long time. Who can be ruthless without plants? In Zhu Zhi's heart, the shadow gradually narrowed, but the warmth gradually spread.

Zhu Zhi was touching Guo Xiu's little hand, and Yang Rong outside the pavilion reported to him to come in. Zhu Zhi complained in his heart that it was really a bad time, but Guo Xiu had already stood up tactfully, let Yang Rong come in, and walked out by himself.

Yang Rong walked in with a few pieces of information, with a serious expression and said, "Your Highness, have you read these imperial edicts?"

Zhu Zhi said: "The staff member has copied a copy for me. Why?"

Yang Rong said: "Your Highness, the spy below came to report that on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, Wang Cheng, commander of Longxiang Guard, entered the Lan Mansion. On the third day of the first lunar month, Wang Xin, commander of Longjiang Right Guard, and Xu Liang, commander of Jianghuai Guard, entered the Lan Mansion. On the second update of the same day, Yang Chun entered the Lan Mansion. They claimed to be looking at the old boss and the old general."

Zhu Zhi said: "What's wrong with this? It's normal."

Yang Rong said: "The problem is that after Wang Xin and Xu Liang entered the mansion, Lan Yuben resigned from the general and asked to train troops in Shaanxi. Two days later, that is, today, the emperor issued three orders in a row. The relationship between them is worth pondering."

Zhu Zhi said: "I'm paying attention to this. It's the original example that the father gave rewards to the heroes of the Western Expedition. It's normal for the 17th brother to be granted a guard. Since he gave me a gift, of course he had to give him a gift. As for Li Jinglong, he was the person his father trusted the most. Using him to serve as the Five City Military and Horses Office should be a move to stabilize the situation in the capital. What do Mianren thinks?"

Yang Rong said: "The court has been discussing that General Lan's great achievements over the years should be ranked among the three dukes, at least the three orphans, but in the end it is only the third division. The emperor's actions are obviously rewarded, but he is actually out of favor. Lan Yu resigned, but he still wanted to invite troops from the border areas to prepare soldiers. This is obviously unwilling to completely let go of military power. I think the emperor's general's report is left to the end. It is obvious that the emperor is still forcing Lan Yu to completely let go of military power."

Zhu Zhi said: "Isn't my father afraid of being forced to force me? Will Lan Yu take the risk?"

Yang Rong whispered: "Rong feels ominous, and the emperor is afraid that he will force Lan Yu to rebel."

This statement surprised Zhu Zhi a little. Whoever got full and had nothing to do to force his subordinates to rebel. Zhu Zhi said: "Why did your father do this?! This is not good for the court!"

Yang Rong's face suddenly became very ugly and said, "Rong was also very puzzled, why did the emperor do this. But Rong thought again, the emperor probably felt that he didn't have much time and wanted to pave the way for the grandson. General Lan had great achievements in the capital, and the emperor could suppress him, but if the emperor traveled west, could the grandson be able to suppress General Lan?"

Zhu Zhi was surprised. Yang Rong actually thought of this layer. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since that's the case, the father asked Li Jinglong to lead the five cities at the same time, which was equivalent to guarding Lan Yu. If so, the seventeenth brother's escort was not just as simple as the case may be. The father would not be afraid that I would feel resentful after I was beaten, so I asked the seventeenth brother to lead the army, so I could have more help at that time!"

Yang Rong said: "Your Highness is clear. Rong is worried about this. Your Highness should enter the palace as soon as possible to apologize to the emperor and seek the emperor's trust."

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said, "If the father doesn't trust anyone, then it's useless to let him say it. At this time, I shouldn't have any action. I don't have enough to tell Wu Jian to keep a close eye on both the father and Lan Yu. I don't want anything to happen before I know." Zhu Zhi knew about future history. But even Fu Youde might be killed in advance. God knows what changes will happen in history? Zhu Zhi was unsure. The only thing he could rely on now is the intelligence power in his hands.

Yang Rong sighed. He knew that he should not say too much about Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, so he could only say: "Your Highness, at this subtle moment, the Yulin Right Guard and Shenji Camp should be in control."

When they said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The two of them were talking, and the door came to report that Yang Chun, the commander of the Yulin Right Guard, asked for a meeting. The chief general who claimed to have been sick for two months, was finally willing to come to see his new master. Zhu Zhi felt a little dissatisfied when he thought of his rudeness, and lazily ordered him to wait in the front hall.

Zhu Zhi said: "Mianren, why do you see Yang Chun coming to see me at this time?"

Yang Rong said: "This person is Lan Yu's direct lineage, and Your Highness must be guarded."

Zhu Zhi said: "Do you think there is a way to conquer him?"

Yang Rong said: "Can you know that Cao Aman is waiting for Guan Yun?"

Zhu Zhi is a sensible person, but just smiles with a knowing heart.

Zhu Zhi originally wanted to walk over to meet Yang Chun himself, but after thinking about it carefully, he still attracted four servants to carry the bed to the front hall. He saw a middle-aged man in black robe sitting on a chair, thin and scar on his face, looking a little fierce.

Yang Chun, the leader of the four major vajras under Lan Yu's former command, swept across Mongolia. Zhu Zhi had read his archives long ago. The archives read: Yang Chun joined the army at the age of fifteen in the first year of Hongwu. He conquered the Central Plains, conquered the Yuandu, attacked Qingyang, and set up the west. He moved to Qianhu for his military achievements. In the 14th year, he went to Lan Yu to conquer Yunnan. In the 21st year, he fought with Tuogustimuer. Chun became the pioneer Qianhu and rushed into his camp. The enemy was unaware of nothing. He came to the front and was shocked. He fought and defeated him. Chun killed more than a dozen generals including the Taiwei Manzi. The scar on his face was left in this battle. Among the four major vajras under Lan Yu, Yang Chun ranked first with courage, followed by Huang Lu, Zhuang Cheng and Sun Ranglei 34th. In the 23rd year, Chun was transferred to the commander of the Right Guard of Yulin for his military achievements and was appointed as the general of the country.

Seeing Zhu Zhi lying on the big kang and being carried into the hall, Yang Chun was at a loss for a moment. It was not until Xiao Chenzi next to him coughed that Yang Chun knelt on the ground and saluted.

Zhu Zhi said with a sad face: "General Yang, please get up quickly. I'm really embarrassed. I accidentally broke my wound a few days ago. It's not good to be done today. I've neglected the general."

Yang Chun hurriedly said, "I deserve to die. Since the beginning of winter, I have felt the wind and cold and have never come to pay my respects. Your Highness forgives me."

Zhu Zhi said: "You are sick, I am injured, and we are each other. What crimes are the general? Come on, don't be so restrained."

Yang Chun said: "Thank you. I met Lord Tie when I returned to the camp yesterday. He chatted with the general for a while and knew that Lord Tie was planning to replenish the troops. Today I came here to ask for advice on this matter."

Zhu Zhi said, "Oh? Didn't Lord Tie explain it to you clearly?"

Yang Chun said: "Oh, no, no, but Lord Tie wants to transfer troops from other garrisons, but I feel something is wrong."

Zhu Zhi said: "How is it inappropriate."

Yang Chun said: "The Yulin Right Guard has always been a cavalry unit and has its own unique training method. Only the right Guard of the Palace Army is also a cavalry. If soldiers are drawn from other guards, they are all infantry, and the other hand, they are not suitable for my training method."

Zhu Zhi was unhappy, hum, I'm afraid it's time to make up for the people, you'll have to lose your food. Who doesn't know this trick? But his face didn't show up and said, "After spring, Yulin's Right Guard will go to Liaodong. It's not OK to not fill this gap. Then, according to General Yang's opinion, how should we supplement it?"

Yang Chun said: "When you go back to Your Highness, instead of using some trained by others, it is better to recruit new people from the family of the garrison. After all, it is not surprising that father, son, soldier and brother are in the military household."

So that's it. Zhu Zhi understood what Yang Chun meant. What he was really worried about was that other soldiers would add to it and weaken his control over the army. Hehe, since that's the case, Zhu Zhi made up his mind and said, "General Yang's opinion is good, but the date of departure is approaching. I don't want these new recruits to have not been trained. Let's do this. Before February 15th, soldiers must be fully equipped and weapons and armor must be complete. These new recruits must undergo preliminary training before the departure. What do you think, Zhu Zhi knew that it is the tenth day of the first lunar month. After the Lunar New Year, most of the yamen in the capital will rest and no one will work. Not to mention February 15th, even in March, you can't finish the enlistment procedures for so many people.

When Yang Chun heard this, he knew that Zhu Zhi was making things difficult for him, but he dared not refuse Zhu Zhi's words. He had to agree and thought to himself that as much as he could be recruited, he would calculate as much as he could.

Zhu Zhi changed his tone and asked, "General Yang has always followed General Lan before?"

When Yang Chun heard this, his face changed a little, but then he returned to normal. However, he did not escape Zhu Zhi's eyes and replied: "Go back to Your Highness, Hongwu was under General Lan's account twenty-two years ago."

Zhu Zhi said: "General Lan returned triumphantly this time, why didn't he visit him?"

Yang Chun said with a little embarrassed expression: "No, now Yang Chun is already the guard of His Highness, so it is not convenient to contact General Lan again."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Well, General Yang knows it well. Please do the supplementary matters of the soldiers quickly and communicate more with Lord Tie. In the future, you should be more familiar with each other. Well, I am a little tired." Yang Chun quickly stood up and left.

Looking at Yang Chun's back, Zhu Zhi snorted coldly, "There is no ghost in his heart, what are you hiding when you see Lan Yu?"
