For Zhu Di, Xu Hao's credit is not small but not big, Yanwangfu cannot directly meddle in the local officialdom, but for the surrounding and other places, there are ways to install their own people, as for Shandong, it is inevitable that there are some whips out of reach, but they dare not stretch out their hands indiscriminately.

Although Xu Hao did not tell Zhu Di in advance, they knew to each other that any disturbance in the imperial court could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Yan Wangfu, so there was no need to do more. According to the recent transfer of officials, the Yan Wangfu gained a lot of benefits afterwards, but most of the officials served for three years, which is indeed as the Daoyan monk said, and it is not very useful.

And Xu Hao easily got rid of Yu Tao, who was in charge of the granary, which was only the icing on the cake for the Yanwang Mansion, which had plenty of grain and grass.

However, Xu Hao is also enough to be recognized by Zhu Di, and he has long been appointed as one of the indispensable talents of Yanwangfu in the future, and Xu Hao's original intention to stand in line as soon as possible to win the maximum benefit of seniority has been completely realized.

As Zhu Di became more and more important to Xu Hao, he wanted to take people to Yanwang's Mansion as soon as possible to live for a few days, so he unceremoniously sent away the generals of the Mu Mansion and sent people to monitor them all the way back to Beijing.

After Mu Chun, who was so far away in Yunnan, learned the news, he was furious, and said angrily in front of his subordinates, even the dignified King Yan is not qualified to act on his behalf, and he wants to interfere in the affairs of my Mu family, and only I, Mu Chun, can call the shots.

In fact, as soon as Mu Chun returned to the inner house, his face was full of smiles, and he told his wife to quickly repair a book, and instructed the second brother and his wife to work in secret.

This shijie never lacks smart people with a long-term vision.

Beijing, Forbidden City, West Sixth Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over and teased his daughter, who had just passed 100 days, feeling the baby's most delicate and silky skin, and said with feeling: "I hope you are like your mother, and you will be a great beauty in the show when you grow up." Like your niece Yuning, there are hundreds of women in the family. It's a pity that when you come out of the cabinet in the future, I'm afraid that my father will be gone for a long time. ”

Zhang Meiren, who was accompanied by her, was only twenty years old, and said softly: "The spirit of Bixia Longma will definitely live a long life." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly let go of his hand, frowned and straightened up, and said with a smile: "No one can hide from birth, old age, sickness and death, even me." I only hope that God can give me a few more years, so that I can leave a splendid country to my children and grandchildren. ”

Zhang Meiren said: "Bixia is too busy with state affairs, and now that the emperor's grandson is already older, it is better to let him share his worries for Bixia, so that Bixia can also find time to recuperate, Bixia is in good health, and it is already a blessing for the people of the world." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his infant daughter, quietly looking at himself with dark eyes, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, and said with a smile: "It's for my princess Baoqing, I have to live for a few more years, I really don't worry about you two." ”

Zhang Meiren was immediately overjoyed, knelt on her knees, and thanked: "Concubine Bixia thanked Bixia for giving her daughter the title of princess, and congratulated the saints on ten thousand blessings and Jin'an!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lightly bowed his head and said: "Give me some more time, and when I finish my troubles, I will accompany you mother and daughter more." Get up, I'm gone. ”

Under the respectful send-off of Zhang Meiren and a palace maid, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace, his face immediately became gloomy.

Later, Xu Huizu, the governor of the left capital, and Wang Ning of Mei Yin, two horses, bowed in and met the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and turned the page of the fold, but did not speak. Seeing this, Mei Yin said cautiously: "Bixia, it has been confirmed that the case of Xu Song's disappearance has nothing to do with the concubine Zhang Lin, but according to the confession of the people below, Zhang Lin went out of Beijing privately to find Xu Hao for revenge, intending to assassinate Xu Hao halfway." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snapped and threw the fold on the gold brick, and said angrily: "What are you going to do?" It's been three days, and you haven't found Xu Song's whereabouts yet? A group of wine bags and rice bags, I want to see people alive and dead to see corpses, and I ordered Jinyiwei to go out of Beijing for me to find.

Under my rule, there will be no such lawbreakers who kill people and steal goods. Once the water bandits and robbers are verified, they must be made to ensure that the water and land are unimpeded, and if there are any more evil things about tourists being robbed and mutilated, the local officials will be held accountable. ”

Xu Huizu was immediately moved and said: "Thank you Bixia for being the master of the Xu family, and thank God on behalf of the father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was very ugly, and he said slowly: "I am ashamed of your Xu family, and I have recruited such a vicious son-in-law, no matter whether Xu Song is dead or alive in the end, I will give you an explanation for the Xu family today." Wang Ning! ”

Wang Ning trembled in his heart, quickly knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister accepts the order." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You go to the Eighth Princess's Mansion right away and give Zhang Lin a ride, and you will be called a violent death to the outside world." After all, Zhang Lin is the son of the old hero Zhang Long, and it is not good to embarrass the Zhang family too much. By the way, did Zhang Long's eldest son die of illness the year before last? Zhang Lin is his only remaining son? ”

Wang Ning treasured these genealogies, and replied: "Yes, the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, Zhang Jie, is here, who is 16 years old this year and has already married. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Then you go to the Zhang family again, pass on my message, and seal Zhang Jie as a hereditary thousand households, and he will inherit the title of the Zhang family in the future, and seal his wife as a first-class order." ”

"Obey." Wang Ning sighed in his heart, and said Zhang Lin, don't resent me, it's all your own fault, get up and slowly retreat.

At this time, Xu Huizu hurriedly said: "Bixia, is it too much to kill Zhang Lin?" After all, he didn't succeed, but caused the princess to lose her husband, and the minister couldn't help it, hoping that Bixia would be extralegal. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite to Xu Huizu at all, because Xu Huizu and Mei Yin were his confidants, while Wang Ning was just a valued son-in-law.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately scolded: "Confused, this fang dares to insist on putting people to death because of a small dispute, do you dare to promise not to secretly poison others in the future?" For the sake of the Crown Prince's safety, I must prevent such a scourge from being left behind. ”

Xu Huizu said ashamedly: "It's still the saint's foresight. ”

In fact, why doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang feel sorry for his daughter? became a widow before the age of twenty, but when the safety of the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen and the happiness of his daughter were put on the balance, the answer was obvious.

Feeling that the imperial court was about to run out of generals, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly left the dying Zhang Lin behind, and said worriedly: "Don't guard your father, his body and bones are much better than mine, and you still have two younger brothers to do your filial piety." You go back and clean up, choose an auspicious day to go north to Datong Mansion, Beiping Mansion, and Quang Ninh Mansion, assist the three princes to take the examination of generals at all levels of the school, and lead the troops to inspect the border fortress. If there is a good opportunity, I will allow you to lead the troops without asking for an order, and in short, I will train myself. ”

Xu Huizu trembled with excitement and said loudly: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Looking at Xu Huizu's powerful stride away, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a much better mood, and smiled at Mei Yin: "Huizu has been loyal to me since he was a child, and I know that he is a person, and he has never had two hearts for the court, and he is a rare loyal minister and tiger general. In the future, you should personally recommend him to Yun Wei, and I will have peace of mind. ”

Mei Yin said respectfully: "The minister knows." ”

In fact, he couldn't help but be very jealous in his heart, and secretly said that he was inferior to Xu Huizu? If it weren't for the fact that there was an invincible father in the world, the Holy One would be so important to him?

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't know that his beloved son-in-law, who had always been steady and generous, was jealous of Xu Huizu at this time, and for the bitter fruit of Zhu Yunwen's failure in the future, otherwise he would have to kill his son-in-law with a sword of anger.

Although Mei Yin's ability to command the army is good, he is far inferior to Zhu Di and Xu Huizu and others, and he can barely be regarded as a general.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this too clearly, if there is anyone who can compete with Yanwangfu, in addition to the older generation of surviving famous generals, there are only a few people in the second generation, such as Xu Huizu and Mu Chun, and Mu Chun has been included in Zhu Yuanzhang's death list.

Zhang Lin's death was all because of Xu Hao, Xu Hao was not at ease wherever he went, and he ran to Miaozhou and killed a bunch of officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly hated Xu Hao for forcing him to give his son-in-law to commit suicide, although it could prevent Zhang Lin from harming others in the future, Xu Hao was also loyal to himself, but he was always very uncomfortable.

Calculating the time and month, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You immediately arrange someone to go to Beiping, and order Xu Hao to return to the capital before the moon, otherwise I will be on the way." ”

Mei Yin had the heart to comfort the emperor, and had the courage to make a joke: "Wouldn't that make the county lord of Yuning lose his beloved?" It is said that King Yan wants to fulfill them, but Mu Hou Ye insists on refusing, the south and the north are fighting with each other, stalemate, the whole capital has heard about it, and they all want to see the excitement, I don't know the mind of the saint? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang really smiled and said: "Interesting, let's let these two unstable bastard elders make trouble, it's rare for the people to look lively, then continue to be lively, I choose to stand by and watch." ”

Mei Yin smiled: "That's troublesome, Mrs. Mu is worried to death because of this, maybe she will enter the palace tomorrow to complain to you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang daxiao said: "Come on, come on, it just so happens that I also want to meet my daughter-in-law." You! Or is she too young to think about it, Ning Xue's girl obviously has more than a year of filial piety, what is there to worry about in the Mu family? ”

Mei Yin was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this was really lifting a stone and hitting her own feet, but she was kindly persuaded but was said casually by the saint, alas! Why bother?

The Xu family was shrouded in a dark cloud, and Xu Song went to the north by boat that day, but the Liu family soon found out that he deliberately turned a blind eye.

waited until the evening, and during the meal, the old lady found that Xu Song was not there, and asked casually, Liu did not dare to hide it and said it, the old lady was immediately furious, and ordered someone to set off overnight to chase him.

Who knew that the bad news soon came, Xu Song's big boat was looted by a strong man in the middle of the night, and the boatman and the two little guys died tragically on the boat, it is said that Xu Song was stabbed and kicked into the river, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Liu fainted after hearing the news, and the old lady hurriedly ordered his three sons to go to Beijing to find Xu Da, and Xu Da ordered his eldest son Xu Huizu to go to the palace to report.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long known that Zhang Lin had been away from Beijing for more than a month for no reason, and it happened that he had just come back and felt that something was wrong. Now that Jinyiwei is not good, he ordered Xu Huizu and Mei Yin Wang Ning to secretly investigate the matter.

And at this moment, Xu Hao also received the news from Kuaima.
