Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Xu Miaoyun smiled and crawled on Zhu Di's chest, lightly tapped the corner of Zhu Di's lips with her index finger, and said softly: "Let me cook you a meal today, okay?"

This trip has been going back and forth for at least two months, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the end of November. ▂ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ ██ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂

She wanted to cook a meal herself.

Let Shiro eat the meal she cooked before setting off.

Zhu Di held Xu Miaoyun's hand and said with a smile: "I'll do it. What if you smell the smoke and vomit?"

Last night, I had to pull him and wash his hair.

If this continues, he doesn't want to leave.

"You help me cook the stove and I'll do it. The food in the morning will be light and I won't vomit."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's stubborn eyes, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, let's get up!"

At the same time as the words rang out, Xu Miaoyun sat up with her arms in her arms.

Later, he helped to burn the stove and Miaoyun cooked.

After breakfast.

Xu Miaoyun came to the small table.

Wanting to open the baggage and check it again, Zhu Di stretched out his hand to hold it down and said with a smile: "Last night, you checked it several times, and you brought everything you should bring."

With that said, he picked the person up and placed him on the small table.

"Shiro..."

Uncle Eight's shout came from outside. Xu Miaoyun knew that he was about to set off. He put his arms around Zhu Di's neck and wrapped his legs tightly around Zhu Di's waist...

Ended with a kiss.

Their foreheads touched each other.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was blushing and panting, and joked with a smile: "In these five days, I will change five pieces of lining. When the linings I wear no longer smell like me, if you feel uncomfortable, you can only smell the shoes."

puff!

Xu Miaoyun was immediately amused, and her parting mood eased a bit.

He hugged Zhu Di tightly and whispered: "If you want to come back safely, my child and I will wait for you at home."

My children and I are waiting for you at home...

"Um!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded heavily. In this era, this sentence gave him the most sense of belonging.

After saying that, he let go, smiled and arranged Xu Miaoyun's clothes and messed up hair, and continued to joke: "I arranged it this time, unlike last time. I heard the eighth aunt and the others said that you didn't put on your shoes well last time. I stepped on my heels and ran out..."

"Don't say it!" Xu Miaoyun's face turned red and she smiled coquettishly.

She couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhu Di chased him out last time when he went to Jiangning County to do corvee labor.

The aunts, to this day, still tease her about this incident!

Zhu Di packed his baggage and the dry food he had brought with him on the road, walked to the wall, and carried the bow and arrow kettle he had won from Lan Yu.

As for the sword, forget it.

Just hang it at home.

Many people know Sapphire's sword.

To take it out and use it would be to tear off Lan Yu's face, throw it on the ground and rub it.

As a human being, you cannot be without edge.

But you must not be like Lan Yu, who is always sharp.

The principle of a man and a sword is the same. When necessary, the edge should be revealed, and on weekdays, the edge should be hidden in the sheath. It's a pity that Lan Yu works with weapons every day but doesn't understand this truth.

This kind of person can become famous for a while by chance and ability, but if he cannot wake up and make changes, he will definitely be in bad luck.

Before leaving the house, Zhu Di turned around and warned: "You must take care of yourself and don't worry about me. I will definitely be able to take care of myself."

"Yes." Xu Miaoyun controlled the longing for home before the person left. She was too sad, and Shiro was not relieved to leave. She smiled and said: "Huizu went home yesterday, and Miaoyin will come over today. , and the aunt in the village, there are so many people, I will also take care of myself."

Only then did Zhu Di open the door with relief.

There were people standing outside the courtyard.

Uncle Eight and the others.

Aunts seeing off.

And the kids.

After taking Miao Yun to the outside of the courtyard, Zhu Di said with a smile: "Eighth Aunt, Da Ya will leave it to you."

"Do not worry."

"Yes, Shiro, just be at ease!"

…

Zhu Di looked at the children and said, "Don't be naughty. Master will bring everyone back safely."

He said a few words to everyone.

Zhu Di turned his head and smiled at Uncle Eighth: "Uncle Eighth, let's go."

"Let's go!"

Uncle Eight shouted.

A group of big guys, under the watchful eyes of old people, women, and children, set off...

After everyone had gone away, a group of old people, women and children who were bidding farewell could no longer bear it and shouted instructions.

"Dad, your child's health is important. Don't ignore your health just to save money!"

"Yang Laoba, come back alive for me!"

"father……"

…

Zhu Di and others turned around... everyone seemed to have become one person, smiling and waving as they walked forward.

This may be a common characteristic of men who have the ability to take responsibility.

Leave a smile to your family and reassure them.

…

It was getting dark and we arrived at Jiangning County.

Jiang Jinzhong and Zhou Lang were already waiting outside the county town by the official road.

After meeting, Zhou Lang smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, I ask you to send me to follow Mr. Zhu to see the market. From birth to now, the farthest place I have ever been is Jinling City not long ago."

The Metropolitan Governor's Office issued corvee recruitment orders to local areas for military purposes.

Local officials must accompany them.

Responsible for management.

If something goes wrong, the local authority must be held accountable first.

Generally no one likes to do this kind of errand.

The road is far away.

There are risks this time.

Jiang Jinzhong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, this is exactly what Zhou Lang requested. I also think he is the most suitable. Tuqiao Village is his partner, and he gets along well with the folks in Tuqiao Village..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhou Lang and said with a smile: "Okay, let's set off then. We're a little pressed for time and we have to walk a while longer at night."

"No problem!" Seeing Zhu Di agree, Zhou Lang immediately smiled and patted his chest.

Zhu Di and his party wiped their heads off and continued on their way.

Jiang Jinzhong shouted at his back: "Mr. Zhu, have a nice trip!"

After the person walked away, he put down his waving hand. ☜

An old man wearing a Confucian shirt beside him muttered: "Young master, is this Zhou Lang crazy? He is actually fighting to get there."

Jiang Jinzhong turned his head and glanced.

This old man is from Yuanzhi, his family, and he has just arrived in Jiangning.

The examination began during the Yuan Dynasty and continued to take the examination. In the early years of Hongwu, he was admitted as a scholar.

Not even him.

The family fortune had been ruined, the new dynasty was established, and land was allocated to him, but this old man did not want to farm.

The land was rented out, but the rent could not support a large family.

The scene was shattered everywhere.

When he came home, his old father arranged for him to be a staff member and let him use his spare energy. His family spent some money to support him and help him live his life.

"You are wrong!" Jiang Jinzhong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu is not an ordinary person. Zhou Lang's choice is very correct."

"I dare to leave my words here. This time I go out and gain knowledge with Mr. Zhu. Zhou Lang will definitely benefit a lot in the future!"

"Those idiots in the county government usually want to curry favor with Mr. Zhu. Now they are afraid of the risks and dare not go there. There is an old saying in our hometown that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish! Look, these people In the future, they will become less and less inferior to Zhou Lang. Perhaps, one day, when they meet Zhou Lang, they will have to say hello with a smiling face!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but sneer.

First of all, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Just because Zhou Lang rushed to get there, Mr. Zhu will remember it in his heart.

Secondly, this trip is risky.

But for a group of ordinary people who wander around Jiangning without much knowledge, this trip is the best learning opportunity!

read more, walk more.

new

A person, after traveling thousands of miles.

Even if you are illiterate, your abilities will become stronger!

This is the wisdom written in books by our ancestors and left to future generations!

In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had only the same level of knowledge as Zhou Lang, and his official position was no more than the chief of the pavilion. Speaking of which, he was not as good as Zhou Lang.

Why could such a person become the final winner at the end of Qin Dynasty?

Trained by the First Emperor!

The chief of the pavilion had a task at that time, which was to frequently take the servants on long journeys.

These experiences had a profound impact on Gaozu's future.

If he is just a pavilion chief without these early experiences, even if he raises troops, he will be short-sighted at best, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

…

The tenth day, the third watch.

The curfew is not over yet.

A group of people, covered with stars and wearing moonlight, are rushing on their way.

"Fourth brother, look quickly. There are fires ahead and the outline of the city wall. Have we reached Jinling City?" At a certain moment, a sharp-eyed young man pointed ahead and shouted.

Everyone stopped and looked around.

Zhu Di observed for a while, then looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with a smile: "We're here, let's rest here. It's not safe for a group of us to approach the city wall rashly during the curfew."

The defenders of the city, in this situation, have the right to launch an attack regardless of the circumstances.

call!

"Finally we're here!"

"worn out!"

…

Everyone was talking and sitting down directly on the roadside.

When he was doing corvee service in Jiangning County, he dared to pinch him.

The edict of the Governor-General of the Fifth Army.

Zhu Di didn't dare to lead the villagers to do this.

Military law is ruthless!

If it's too late, the generals may kill people to sacrifice the flag as a warning to others.

Soon, the snoring was loud.

Zhou Lang unscrewed the water bag and handed it to Zhu Di, "Mr. Zhu, I told the general manager that day. After we arrive at Jinling City, people from the county government and leaders from the village will report to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion."

"Okay." Zhu Di took a sip and handed the water bag to Zhou Lang, "Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."

"Seize the time to rest."

Zhou Lang nodded, and soon, the two of them fell asleep.

…

They were not awakened until a carriage and horse passed by on the road.

Arriving at the city gate, Zhu Di looked at everyone and said, "If you want to visit Jinling City, go in and have a look, but you must gather here before noon."

"Remember, Jinling City is no better than Jiangning County. There are many dignitaries living there."

"On the street, you must walk while..."

Zhu Di warned carefully.

He knew very well that there were many people riding horses in Jinling City, and some of them would run rampant on the streets.

"Shiro, don't worry, I will take care of everyone."

Zhu Di smiled and nodded at Uncle Eighth. Uncle Eighth had seen a lot of markets, and having Uncle Eighth there really made him feel more at ease.

Then, a group of people entered the city.

Zhu Di and Zhou Lang went to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

…

royal palace.

Morning ends.

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the study, Fang Xiaoru stepped forward to remind him, "Your Highness, Zhu Silang arrived in Jinling with the villagers of Tuqiao Village this morning."

"The Fourth Brother is already here?" Zhu Biao just sat down and after hearing this, he stood up in surprise.

After saying that, he walked out and ordered as he walked: "Are the chickens, ducks and fish that I asked you to prepare ready?"

"Ready."

"Then you guys, just wait outside."

Fang Xiaoru walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Zhu Biao, and smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, otherwise I would not go. Last time I went to Tuqiao Village..."

Okay, he was a little scared.

After all, you ate other people's food and deceived them.

This is the most unethical thing he has ever done.

What if King Yan is too small-minded to remember?

(Zhu Di: I have a big mind, but I have kept a small notebook for you.)

Zhu Biao stopped and said with a smile: "I met the fourth child today. If I have a chance, I can make peace with you."

After saying that, Zhu Biao left with a smile.

"Why do I feel that Your Highness is a little gloating about his misfortune." Fang Xiaoru stared at Zhu Biao's back suspiciously, and he felt that Zhu Biao's smile when he left was a sign of schadenfreude.

Zhu Biao went straight to the palace of Crown Princess Chang.

As soon as he entered the door, he happily urged: "The fourth child is here, are you ready?"

Mrs. Chang came out of the inner hall, wearing a martial arts uniform, and asked with a smile: "With such a big fanfare, will the people of Tuqiao Village notice the clues."

"As the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, we are here to express our condolences to the people who have been recruited this time. It is only by the way that we look at the fourth child." Zhu Biao corrected.

Chang smiled and rolled his eyes.

My husband has been the crown prince for several years.

This time, it was the first time that power was used for personal gain.

…

Outside the Yamen of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

A group of people gathered.

They are all representatives of the corvee villages and county governments recruited this time.

Those who were familiar with each other gathered together and talked in low voices.

With their status, they are not qualified to enter.

When the sun rises three poles high.

Only a small official, full of gentility, walked out slowly, and with the cooperation of several soldiers, he put the notice in his hand on the wall.

Turning around, he glanced at Zhu Di and others with dignity, "Listen carefully, I will only speak once!"

"First of all, we will set off tomorrow. Today you will rest beside the Gyeonggi garrison camp outside the city. There is an empty camp over there."

…

"Doqiao Village!"

"Wangzhuang!"

…

Zhu Di, Zhou Lang and the village leaders whose names were called came forward.

The clerk took out a document and read coldly: "You are going to escort a batch of ordnance, food and grass to the outside of the pass. The itinerary is: Yuguan, Lingbi, Baihegou, Dongchang, Dezhou, Jinan..."

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard these place names...

What the clerk said later was not heard.

"Mr. Zhu." Zhou Lang pulled Zhu Di.

Zhu Di came to his senses.

"Mr. Zhu, our route has been assigned and we can leave."

Only then did Zhu Di hear that the clerk had begun to read out other routes to Shanxi and Shaanxi.

"Let's go." After saying this, Zhu Di turned around and walked out.

Zhou Lang was puzzled when he saw Zhu Di was lost in thought again, and asked worriedly: "Mr. Zhu, is there anything wrong?"

ah?

Zhu Di came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, there's nothing wrong. I'm thinking about other things."

After saying this, he tried to keep his spirits up.

The route announced by the clerk, from Peking to Jinling City, was highly similar to the Jingnan route he was familiar with.

Almost exactly the same!

Return to the road of peace and difficulty?

In history, ‘he’ took this road from Beiping, bleeding all the way, and entered Jinling City.

Now start from Jinling and go north along the same road?

This historical coincidence shocked him.

‘Historically, ‘I’ fought from Peiping to Jinling. This road was originally an official road and it was the shortest road. Now it is transporting grain, grass and ordnance. It is very reasonable for the court to choose this road. ’

Soon, Zhu Di used his military knowledge to convince himself that this was not some divine will.

call!

Zhou Lang had been observing secretly and saw that Zhu Di had regained his previous calmness and confidence. Although he didn't understand what happened just now, he was relieved.
