Seeing that his sister seemed a little unhappy, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but said: "Sister, I look pretty good. She is a stable person."

Zhu Mingyue said helplessly: "Steady is steady, but it's just too boring. You see, he has been there for half an hour, and the teacup on the table has not been touched. He is as dull as a piece of wood.

."

Zhu Yunxi glanced hesitantly at Geng Xuan, who was relatively calm. He didn't know what to say. He hesitated and said: "Sister, this is already very good. I heard that those who like to talk sweet words like to lie the most."

"If I really marry someone like that, I might be very sad in the future. I think it's good to be honest and responsible. In the future, when my sister gets married, she will be in charge of the family."

Zhu Mingyue listened and felt that it made sense.

I looked at Geng Xuan carefully again and immediately felt that he was so annoying.

Zhu Ying happened to be back at this time.

"My minister Geng Xuan pays homage to His Highness Changsun."

Geng Xuan hurriedly paid homage, but at the same time he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why His Highness Changsun called him here.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Sit down, don't be restrained."

"I obey the order."

Geng Xuan waited for His Highness Changsun to take his seat, then sat down on the stone bench, only halfway.

Geng Xuan's current position is not high. Although his father Geng Bingwen is a general, he is currently only a former military governor and a member of the Fifth Army and Ten Guards.

"I have called you here this time because I have nothing else to do. I just want to have a chat with you."

"Did you know that someone in Shaanxi has rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor?"

Zhu Ying said casually.

Geng Xuan did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "I know."

Zhu Ying continued: "The Marquis of Changxing accompanied the King of Zhongshan in his expedition to Shaanxi and defeated Li Siqi and Zhang Sidao. He then became the left prime minister of the Qin Palace and the right prime minister of Shaanxi Province, guarding Shaanxi for more than 20 years."

"A few months ago, we reassessed the demon rebellion in Huizhou, Shaanxi. I have a particularly clear understanding of the situation in Shaanxi."

"Currently, the Marquis of Changxing is in Shaanxi, so I have called you here to ask what you think about the current situation in Shaanxi."

Hearing this, Geng Xuan began to formulate words in her mind.

As the eldest son, he has been living a military career with his father since he was old enough. It can be said that he grew up in Shaanxi.

I came to the capital this time because Prince Zhu Biao passed away and I wanted to express my condolences on behalf of my father.

Following Geng Xuan's narration, Zhu Ying learned a lot about the current situation in Shaanxi.

First of all, Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty now includes Gansu.

Geng Bingwen was guarding Shaanxi. Strictly speaking, he was guarding Gansu.

Gansu's geographical location is very important. To the west are the remnants of the Chagatai Khanate, who are also Mongolians, and to the south is Tibet. Although Tibet's religious leaders have now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

But after all, it was not an area directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. From time to time, some anti-Ming forces colluded with the Mongols to invade Gansu.

Moreover, there are different cultures and numerous ethnic groups here, and the situation of the local indigenous population is also extremely complex.

Garrisoning troops is also a problem.

Most areas of Gansu have a temperate continental climate and a plateau mountain climate, with extremely scarce precipitation. Most areas are not conducive to agricultural production.

Only the narrow Hexi Corridor, which relies on melted glacial water from the Qilian Mountains, can be used for farming.

Therefore, the garrison can only be deployed in the Hexi Corridor in the form of a long snake.

This kind of garrison method was extremely easy to be intercepted by the flexible Mongolian cavalry during wartime, leading to the collapse of the entire Gansu army.

Tian Jiucheng and others took advantage of Geng Bingwen's pacification of Huizhou to hook up with the Mongols and take the opportunity to cause trouble.

At this time, Gansu was facing threats from Mongolia and Tibet.

Even if he knew the news about Tian Jiucheng's uprising, Geng Bingwen could only return to defend Gansu.

Zhu Ying originally planned to have a casual chat with Geng Xuan, but she didn't expect to learn so much useful information. This was an unexpected gain.

After all, there are some things that are completely different from reading them in memorials and listening to them directly stated.

After some exchanges, Zhu Ying let Geng Xuan leave without staying any longer.

After Geng Xuan left, Zhu Ying smiled and asked Zhu Mingyue, "I have been watching and listening for so long. I wonder how Mingyue feels."

When Zhu Mingyue heard this, she immediately lowered her head in shame.

But he still said softly: "But it's up to the elder brother to make the decision."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled brightly and immediately understood that Mingyue was still satisfied with Geng Xuan.

As for Zhu Yunxi's involvement, he didn't know.

After all, this matter can be considered settled.
