Chapter 66 Examination Questions
Recalling the past youthful years, it is full of brotherhood for young men.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying treated these adopted sons as their own sons and regarded them as members of the family. These Zhu Yuanzhang's sons did not act as outsiders to these brothers and younger brothers of different surnames.
When he heard Zhu Di talk about the beating him back then, Ping Baoer said embarrassedly, "I was young and ignorant at that time..."
You are still panting when you say you are fat? Zhu Di laughed and said, "The more you talk about you, the more you do these false gifts!" As he said, he punched Ping An on the shoulder and said in a lonely way, "In recent years, the days we brothers have been meeting each other, there have been fewer and fewer days!"
Ping An was moved in his heart, and the Ming Hu Ben next to him was slightly moved.
After all, the King of Yan was the prince, and he was Ping'an the emperor's adopted son, and the difference between the king and the minister is the world. Now the King of Yan is still as close to him as he was when he was a child, and his heart is also warm.
The Ming Tigers looked at the King of Yan, and even had some admiration. This was the famous King of Yan, who guarded Beiping several times and went on expeditions, fought against Beiyuan and fled.
The King of Yan not only had outstanding military achievements, but also was so easy-going. It was really commendable.
Look at you! Zhu Di pointed to Ping'an's waist and smiled, "I was staying in the capital, my waist was thick." As he said, patted the other party's armor, and I went to Peking with my father. You can go with me to the emperor. You are good at martial arts and military strategies. We are really good at fighting with the Tartars. What's the matter with the good man, staying in the capital to retire?
Ping An Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. He was the governor of the Five Army Governor's Office and controlled part of the troops in the capital. It seemed to be a retirement, but in fact he had a great responsibility. He also had the intention to make achievements, but whether he could go out depends on the old emperor's thoughts.
Besides, he felt like a mirror in his heart. The old emperor didn't want to get involved with his sons and his sons now. Especially those who can fight.
At this time, Zhu Di turned around and scolded, "What are you doing right away? Come down and call someone!"
Among the cavalry behind him, two young men who were only in their hair were actually jumped off the horse's back like Mongolians who had been born on horseback since they were young, and walked up with a smile.
Although the two are young, they are all heroic in their eyebrows, like two little tigers, not afraid of the sky or the earth. They are both wearing small armor, and their every move looks very much like the King of Yan.
Moreover, although these two people are young, their appearance and vitality are instantly comparing the little princes in the palace.
Second, third brother! Zhu Di said, I’ll give you Uncle Ping a greeting!
Have met Uncle Ping! The two of them saluted respectfully.
It's impossible! Ping An quickly pulled it up with one hand.
Who are these two teenagers? The answer is about to emerge. Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan Zhu Di, and Zhu Gaosui. (These two are now twelve and the other are nine years old.)
What can’t be done? Zhu Di smiled and said, they were born in the Zhu family. But even if they were born in the Zhu family, they were your younger generation!
Ping'an was about to say a few words of humility when he felt the short knife on his waist move. He looked down and found that it was Zhu Gaoxu who was looking at the weapon around his waist curiously.
The short knife is different from the Central Plains. It is a treasure presented by the Dashi merchants who came from thousands of miles away in Quanzhou Port.
Although the knife is short, it has a beautiful arc. The handle is made of gilded and is also inlaid with a ruby with a cat's eye. The scabbard is exquisitely crafted and is also covered with gems.
Like this? Ping An took it off with a smile. Can you move it?
Uncle Ping looked down on others? Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were shiny and he reached out to take it. He said, "Not to mention short swords, I can dance the long swords in the army!"
I'll give it to you! Ping An smiled and gave it to him, be careful, it's sharp, don't hurt yourself!
Zhu Gaoxu pulled out half of the blade, and the short knife's edge was cold and reflected with his shiny eyes.
Uncle Ping really underestimates people! Zhu Gaoxu couldn't put it down and said proudly, "I can ride a horse and shoot arrows at the age of seven, and I can take my guards out to hunt at the age of eight, and shoot at least thirty rabbits and rats a day!"
Ping An was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "It's really a tiger father without a dog son!"
On the side, Zhu Di also smiled proudly.
Zhu Gaoxu played with the short knife and said again, I will ejaculate fifty next year!
OK, OK, ambitious! Peace gives a thumbs up.
Zhu Di's third son Zhu Gaosui was a little dissatisfied when he saw his brother get the sword and was praised by the adults.
He said disdainfully, bragging! I forgot that you didn’t ejaculate thirty last month and borrowed a few from me? As he said, he hummed, fifty ones? Are you afraid that your father will kick you if you can’t ejaculate?
I'll beat you up! Zhu Gaoxu's face changed drastically and he was about to take action on the spot.
Dad, look at the second brother! Zhu Gaoshu hid behind Zhu Di.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di didn't protect him and lifted him out directly. If he beat you up, you won't fight back? What's your fist for? Go, you two will hit you!
This scene made Ping An stunned.
It should be noted that riding horses and archery since childhood is a tradition of the Mongolians. The reason why they are so good at shooting is because there are many hares and field mice on the grassland. Since they were young, they have practiced with those little things every day.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu was the emperor's grandson, but he was trained by the King of Yan like this. Moreover, the King of Yan did not teach his son anything about his brotherly and kindness, which was completely a way for the Hu people to raise children.
The child is used to beating at home! Zhu Di said with a smile, laughing!
Where, where! Ping'an also smiled and said, King Yan, where is your boss?
The King of Yan had three sons in total, and he should have one eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, but he didn't see it.
The boss was too fat and couldn't ride a horse, so he was riding a carriage behind him! Zhu Gaosui hid behind Zhu Di and spoke.
The King of Yan entered the city first and was still waiting here! Ping An thought about it and asked.
Zhu Di pondered for a while, then walked to the pavilion and sat down, and waited! But it wasn't for my boss!
Ping An asked, who are you waiting for?
Seventeenth brother! Zhu Di pondered and murmured, "In theory, he should have arrived too!"
Upon hearing this, Ping An's eyes flashed and then he returned to peace.
The seventeenth son of the emperor was named Zhu Quan, the King of Ning. He was granted a vassal in the 21st year of Hongwu, and his fief was the border of Daning.
Daning is the outpost that went south to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is outside Xifengkou and belongs to the ancient Huizhou area. It connects Liao Zuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west, making it a large town.
In order to compete for this place, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, Lan Yu and others came out of the pass successively. He surrendered the Northern Yuan Taiwei Hana, and then fought for years. He finally killed the Northern Yuan Liao King Azha Shili, and Huining King Tabin Timur and others to settle down.
Daning is a major town in Daming, with 80,000 armored soldiers. In addition, there are the most brave and good at fighting Duoyan Three Guards.
Although King Ning Zhu Quan was fifteen years old, he was smart and studious since childhood and was deeply loved by the emperor. With the young vassal kings in the border area, he did not have the timidity of young people at all. Instead, his generals praised him for his courage and strategy.
King Yan wants to wait for King Ning! Ping'an thought secretly in his heart, could they have many interactions on weekdays?
As the governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, Ping'an not only has the responsibility to control the troops of the Beijing camp, but also is also responsible for mobilizing local troops. In fact, he is mostly cautious about these border kings who are armed with troops.
Now at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the capital went to the frontier to fight in turn to ensure the elite of the soldiers. If the soldiers and horses of the capital were not bloody after a long period of peace, and the soldiers and horses of the capital were as strong as the king of the capital were, it would not be a blessing for the country.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a big earthquake under my feet.
If the King of Yan's troops were like thunder just now, then the cavalry that was galloping at this moment was like dark clouds pressing against the formation, covering the sky and the sun.
Amid the smoke and dust, a flag of Ning King stood high. Countless wearing leather armor and ferocious faces were like walking out of the storm in the north. The cold-eyed warriors surrounded by a young prince wearing a golden crown and a golden helmet, galloping on their horses.
Zhu Di stood up in an instant, staring at the oncoming cavalry with a scorching look.
After seeing the situation around the pavilion, the brave cavalry were still working non-stop. However, during the high-speed impact, they suddenly became divided into two sides.
With such a rapid turn, the formation of the cavalry was not in chaos at all. The knights were silent, and the war horses were silent, and only horse hooves echoed between heaven and earth.
What a handsome riding technique! Peaceful Road.
Good soldier! Zhu Di spits out two words.
Among the separated knights, the young prince rushed towards him under the escort of several cavalry guards wearing heavy armor and only exposed his eyes.
Seventeenth brother! Zhu Di laughed loudly, you are too late!
