Chapter 216 8 Mile Expedited
"Yeah!"
In the Daming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help laughing. He looked at Yun Qi and Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others who were discussing the matter below and were all confused.
"Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
Fang Xiaoru took a step forward in confusion and asked in a deep voice.
"Lan Yu and Di'er defeated the eighteen tribes of the grassland and won a great victory!"
Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly waved the triumphal report sent back by Zhu Di at them.
This is finally some rare good news.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this news, Qi Tai and others also shouted in unison.
It was a good thing for the entire Ming Dynasty that General Lan Yu led his troops to defeat the eighteen tribes on the grassland.
The cattle and sheep offered as tribute by the eighteen tribes of the grassland during the peace talks could also be used to repay the national debt previously sold to the people and enrich the national treasury.
"Where are Lan Yu and Di Er?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the messenger excitedly and asked.
"The general and the King of Yan are outside the city right now."
The man answered.
"Okay, okay, we should reward them well."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and stood up from the dragon throne. There was finally some good news during this period.
Outside the capital, Lan Yu and Zhu Di were stationed in a large camp.
"General, we are victorious this time, why are you so sad?"
Zhu Di ate the lamb leg in his hand and looked at Lan Yu, who had a sad face. As he spoke, he handed over a lamb leg.
Lan Yu took the leg of lamb, looked at Zhu Di, and sighed.
"Could it be about that kid Zhu Yunhuan?"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Di lowered his voice and tried in a low voice.
Lan Yu didn't answer. He looked at the leg of lamb in his hand and sighed again.
Seeing Lan Yu's reaction, Zhu Di knew that he guessed right.
As a prince, he naturally has his spies in the capital.
Zhu Yunhuan was imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was so concerned about the affairs in the palace that he heard about them even though he was far away in Mobei.
Lan Yu had a close relationship with Zhu Yunhuan's biological father, the former crown prince Zhu Biao.
His biological mother, Chang, was the daughter of General Chang Yuchun and also had connections in the military.
It is normal for Lan Yu to care about Zhu Yunhuan and his brothers.
"Don't worry, Father is not a heartless person and will not make things difficult for Yun Hun."
He smiled and patted Lan Yu's shoulder, then handed her another bowl of wine.
Lan Yu turned around and looked at Zhu Di's carefree appearance. He was silent for a while before taking the wine from his hand and drinking it all.
"Yunxun, that kid, is also my nephew. I will not stand idly by."
As Zhu Di spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine and looked at the flickering firelight beside him.
It is indeed strange that this kid Zhu Yunhuan was imprisoned in the imperial prison.
This kid is now a prince and has no capital to compete for favor, let alone reason to use poisonous insects to harm others.
Unless you are a fool, you would not do such a thing.
Lan Yu took another bite of the chicken leg, nodded, and then fell silent again.
The next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to summon them to the palace to meet him.
"His Majesty!"
"Father."
After changing into court robes, Lan Yu and Zhu Di walked into the court. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they bowed and shouted.
"Stand up, stand up."
Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet recovered from the joy of triumph when he stepped down from the dragon throne and personally helped Zhu Di and Lan Yu up.
"You have made such a great contribution this time. We are really happy."
He held Zhu Di's hand, and the wrinkles on his smiling face became more obvious.
Zhu Di looked at the wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face and fell silent.
My father is old.
Zhu Di's feelings were even more complicated at this moment. Seeing his father growing old, he couldn't help feeling sad.
But as a prince and the King of Yan who holds military power, his father is getting old, so it is inevitable that other people will have concerns.
"Just tell me what you want, and we'll reward you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty voice interrupted Zhu Di's thoughts.
General Lan Yu and Prince of Yan Zhu Di had already reached the highest positions in the country, and now that they had made such great contributions, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to reward them.
"His Majesty……"
Lan Yu, who had been silent since last night, finally spoke in a deep voice at this moment.
What he is concerned about now is still Zhu Yunhuan's affairs.
While Zhu Yuanzhang is so happy, it’s a good opportunity to plead for him.
"Just ask for whatever you want."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said with a smile.
"Prince Zhu Yunxun..."
Seeing this, Lan Yu spoke slowly, and then saw Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling just now, had a gloomy face.
"If you plead for that kid Zhu Yunhuan, forget it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and he returned to the throne.
"Father, we just want to go see our nephew. We have no other intentions."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Di immediately stood up and awkwardly helped Lan Yu to smooth over the situation.
Lan Yu also knew that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head.
It seems that Your Majesty is very concerned about Zhu Yunhuan's involvement in witchcraft.
We have to start discussing this matter from the beginning again.
"That's right."
Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved. Zhu Di and others had some relationship with Zhu Yunhuan, so it was natural for them to go and see Zhu Yunhuan.
On the contrary, it seems that I did go a little too far just now.
Zhu Yunhuan was his grandson after all, so he had no intention of doing anything to him.
At most, let him go back and be a commoner.
"Your Majesty, rush to Shanxi, 800 miles away!"
After the incident of Zhu Yunhuan was mentioned, the atmosphere in the originally festive court suddenly turned cold.
Until a eunuch hurried in, knelt down with a letter in his hand, and said, "A letter from the young grandson of the emperor."
"Quick, present it!"
After hearing about the military mutiny in Shanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang has been worried about his little grandson.
Now that he had finally received news from Zhu Ming, he immediately perked up, put aside his previous unhappiness, turned around and told Yun Qi to bring the letter over.
"This kid, I'm glad you're okay."
When he looked at the letter sent by Zhu Ming, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, is there any news about the Shanxi mutiny?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's mood had improved, Fang Xiaoru stood up and began to ask further questions with a bow.
Zhu Ming was his student and also, in his mind, the candidate for the future wise ruler of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, he missed Zhu Ming very much.
"Yeah, we didn't make a mistake."
When Fang Xiaoru asked about Zhu Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked quite proud.
"Before reinforcements from other provinces arrived, our good grandson had already put down the rebellion in Shanxi."
As he spoke, he delivered the 800-mile urgent report to Yun Qi: "Let them see how our good grandson quelled the Shanxi mutiny."
Yun Qi took the report and handed it to all the officials in the court and began to circulate it.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers, each of whom had expressions of shock on their faces, and a proud expression on his face.
"At the age of 16, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, rescued the emperor at Yanmen Pass and became a great leader with great vigor and vigor."
"Our grandson is now fourteen years old and has quelled the Shanxi Rebellion. His future abilities will definitely not be inferior to those of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!"
Li Shimin was a first-class emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang combined Zhu Ming with him, which shows how high his expectations were for him.
