Chapter 107 A glass of wine releases military power

Zhu Xiongying felt that he had got what he wanted now. He had long wanted to command thousands of troops and gallop on the battlefield. When he returned to Fengyang before, he brought some troops with him, but it was basically just playing house.

It’s just home.

But now it's different. With flags flying and swords and guns flying like a forest, that's the real army.

But Zhu Xiongying also knows that now he is basically just marching. Although he is the coach, the actual execution and so on are all done by Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong.

After setting up camp in the wild, Duke Chang Mao of Zheng and Marquis Guo Ying of Wuying came to greet him. Their tents were just outside Zhu Xiongying's tent, and they were also appointed by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao to guard Zhu Xiongying.

Li Jinglong walked out of the camp and said with a smile, "My lord, my lord, your highness will let you in."

Chang Mao nodded, but still asked, "Who are the honor guards today?"

Li Jinglong immediately replied, "The eldest son of the Duke of Xinguo and the eldest son of Duke Yingguo, today is the Prince Consort Suwei."

Fu Zhong, the eldest son of the Duke of Ying, was actually a consort-in-law. Two years ago, Lao Zhu's ninth daughter, Princess Shouchun, married. This time, there were actually not just one or two consort-in-laws who followed Zhu Xiongying on the expedition.

Princess Ningguo's consort Mei Yin and Princess Anqing's consort Zhao Zuo also came out. These are all Zhu Xiongying's close confidants called "consort captains" because they are Zhu Xiongying's direct uncles. They also all

He was born as a general, and had more or less experienced the battlefield, so he naturally followed suit.

Princess Runing's consort Lu Xian, son of Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng, consort Wang Ning of Princess Huaiqing, consort Li Jian of the famous princess, Zhang Lin, consort of Princess Fuqing, son of Marquis Zhang Long of Fengxiang, Hu Guan, son of Dongchuan Hou Hu Hai, son of Princess Nankang, all of them are also

Followed out.

The person who failed to follow was Li Qi, the consort of Princess Lin'an, who is still uneasy now. He had been warned by the emperor's grandson before, and was busy persuading Li Shanchang to retire and return to his hometown. Niucheng, the consort of Princess Chongning, committed a crime in his early years and was exiled to Yunnan.

The princess fell ill and died on the road, which was also executed by Lao Zhu.

That is to say, when it comes to Lao Zhu's eleventh son-in-law Hu Guan, except for the ten princesses who died young, as long as they have a consort, all the others who can follow him have followed. Lao Zhu treats these heroes pretty well, at least they are all married

of.

After Chang Mao entered the account, he immediately said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you tired today?"

"Uncle, let my uncles come over." Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's early to set up camp today, so we have people slaughtering sheep outside and preparing wine. I will have a few drinks with my uncles today."

When you are on an expedition, you are not allowed to drink alcohol under normal circumstances. However, these things also depend on the situation. Now it is no problem when you are marching, and naturally it is even more no problem if you have a few drinks.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Xiongying walked out of the tent. When he saw Mei Yin, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, you can rest earlier today. It's good if you have a bodyguard to guard you. We have just left the capital. Where is the emperor's feet?"

Can there be chaos?"

Mei Yin smiled and said, "Your Highness, I know what I know."

Although he is only marching and is around the capital, Mei Yin does not dare to be careless. He has a secret decree in his arms and a magical medicine given by Her Royal Highness the Queen. He has a heavy responsibility and does not dare to delay for a moment.

Zhu Xiongying didn't persuade her too much. He knew Mei Yin's character and it was really hard to persuade her. In fact, if Mei Yin and others went to sleep carelessly, Zhu Xiongying might start beating drums in his heart.

Holding a small dagger, Zhu Xiongying skillfully cut the mutton, and he was pretty good at roasting mutton. He was quite interested in this matter, but when he was in the palace, he didn't have many opportunities to roast mutton himself.
p>

Looking at the many uncles in front of him, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Uncles, please don't be formal. I just have nothing to do and talk to my uncles more. They are all a family. I can see them when I am in the palace."

You uncles are also very young."

Mei Yin and Zhao Zuo didn't think that they met Zhu Xiongying less, and they also dealt with Zhu Xiongying less.

But other princes-in-law don't have such treatment. Although their wives are princesses, they are not the direct aunt who took care of their grandson when he grew up. The relationship must be far away.

Just like among the princes who are relatively close to His Highness Taisun, namely the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Yan, and the King of Zhou, their relationship seems not to be so close after the King of Chu.

Fu Zhong was more upright and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, I have been in the army for a long time, and I am good at roasting sheep."

Zhu Xiongying looked at the slightly burnt mutton and said with some embarrassment, "I wanted to show off my skills in front of my uncles, but I didn't know that I was not very good at roasting mutton. It's better for Uncle Ninth to show his skills. The mutton will not taste good if it's burnt."

."

Fu Zhong immediately took over the roast mutton. The mutton roasted by His Highness Taisun was indeed not very good. If he didn't take over now, everyone would just eat it with relish. Who could really complain in front of His Highness Taisun?<

/p>

Zhu Xiongying is not a social cow, but his status is aloof, so there is no need to worry about the wrong topic.

Looking at Lu Xian, Zhu Xiongying said, "Fifth uncle, the Marquis of Ji'an is also from Fengyang, and he had a lot of contacts with King Kaiping in his early years."

Lu Xian said hurriedly, "Back to Your Highness, I have few rules, so there are some mistakes."

Isn't that right? Although Lu Xian's father, Lu Zhongheng, also followed Lao Zhu in the early days, he was good at riding a post carriage with Tang Shengzong and was demoted. A few years ago, Hu Weiyong was killed, and there is a lot of evidence that Lu Zhongheng and Hu Weiyong had a close relationship.

.

Zhu Xiongying sighed and said, "It's time for the Marquis of Ji'an to restrain himself. I comforted my eldest uncle before, and my fifth uncle also remembered to write a letter home. After the Marquis of Ji'an put down the rebellion of the Yunnan native chiefs, he didn't lead any more troops, right?"

Lu Xian's heart was agitated. His father was idle. This time the grandson led the army on an expedition, and his father was not qualified to accompany him.

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhang Lin and said, "How is Fengxiang Hou's body and bones?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhang Lin looked worried and said, "Back to Your Highness, my father is old and frail. He suffered a lot in his early years, and I am afraid he may not be able to hold on any longer. My father has complained to me many times, but Your Majesty did not allow it."

Zhu Xiongying said, "Last year, the army surrendered to Naha, and Marquis Fengxiang also went out with the army. I remember that he was still in good health. But what my uncle said makes sense. I will send you a letter later. Marquis Fengxiang retired to his hometown to take care of himself.

It’s also a good thing.”

Zhang Lin immediately became excited and knelt down immediately, "On behalf of my father, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying stood up in a hurry and said unhappily, "How can uncle do such a great gift?! We are all members of our own family, how can we do this!"

After someone helped Zhang Lin up, Zhu Xiongying still said with emotion, "The imperial grandfather worked hard and slept hard, and he is now over sixty. I remember seeing how tall and tall my grandfather was when I was a child, and now he has gorgeous hair. Marquis Fengxiang retired and returned home.

, the veteran who followed his grandfather to conquer the world, I am afraid that one of them is missing again."

The other princes-in-law are not easy to answer, because their families all have heroes who founded the country, and they look quite old.

Looking at Zhang Lin, Zhu Xiong said earnestly in English, "Fifth uncle, if His Majesty allows Marquis Fengxiang to retire in old age, you must have military merit this time. By then, I can help you speak, and the matter of inheriting the title cannot be delayed."<

/p>

Zhu Xiongying's words made Zhang Lin's eyes light up. Even though he was the prince now, there were even several princes and princes present. Normally, if his father was still alive, he would definitely not be able to inherit the title, but this matter was also

Not absolutely.

If Zhang Long retires, Zhang Lin seems to have a chance to inherit the title. What's more, Li Zhen and Li Wenzhong, father and son, both held the title of Cao Guogong, and no one said anything.

It's just that these things also depend on the emperor's will and whether there is merit. Now there are many princes looking at it eagerly. They have also lost their fathers, but the emperor has not allowed them to inherit the title.

The identity of the prince only guarantees their legal heir status, but it is hard to say whether he can inherit the title.

Zhu Xiongying's intention is not to release military power over a glass of wine, but to remind some people not to cling to power, otherwise they will block their children and grandchildren from ascending to power.

These things are not only told to Zhang Lin, other princes-in-law can also listen to them. Including some of the honorary guards guarding the side. If the fathers in the family are old and are suspected by the emperor, it is better to take the initiative.

.

If Zhang Long resigns and returns to his hometown, Lao Zhu will definitely give his permission. After all, this is an old team member, and he has been more cautious in these years, and there is no stain on his body. It is definitely no problem to retire intact, even to show the emperor's tolerance and to Zhang Long.

Lao Zhu will not hesitate to reward Long for leaving the court on his own initiative.

These are considered to be thousands of dollars to buy horse bones. There is a fundamental difference between voluntarily suing the old man and wanting to leave after being punished by Lao Zhu.

The overall atmosphere seems good. After all, we have just left Beijing and have not arrived in Mobei yet. Everyone is relatively relaxed and there is no need to be too nervous.

But no one thought that this was the eldest nephew entertaining his uncle. When the eldest nephew is the scheming grandson of the emperor, his every word and every hint must have some deep meaning and should be carefully considered.

In particular, the emperor's grandson's status is extremely stable and aloof, which makes people think that what the emperor's grandson said may actually be the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor. If this is the case, it will be even more important to think about.

After eating some roast mutton, Zhu Xiongying felt very good, which meant that he needed to return to the camp to rest.

Zhu Xiongying slept soundly and at ease. He has always had a relatively high quality of sleep. And with the army surrounding him, Zhu Xiongying did not have to worry about being stolen from his camp near Yingtian Mansion.

After waking up, it is natural to continue to prepare for the expedition. Now it is a continuous march, not to mention now, even in Mobei. It is a continuous march, looking for the enemy, and the battle may only last an afternoon or a night.
