In the tea room, half an hour had passed, and Sun Shaozu had already drank three cups of tea, so much so that he had the urge to urinate.
He had been holding it in for a while, and he didn't dare to leave the palace for fear of being summoned by Zhu Jinghong. Now that he was feeling uncomfortable, he didn't want to hold it in anymore.
Just as he stood up and asked the eunuch on duty at the door to take him out, a young eunuch walked in first.
"General Sun, the prince invites you to come to the study outside Cunxin Hall to see you!"
"Please..."
Although it is very uncomfortable, now we are here How could Sun Shaozu dare to bring up the matter of Gong?
So he could only hold back and follow the young eunuch to the depths of the palace. After passing two doors, he arrived at the east wing of Cunxin Hall, which was the outer study room where Zhu Jinghong received guests.
Sun Shaozu was brought in, only to find that it was still empty. Obviously he had to wait for a while.
"Thirteenth Master, he..."
"General, the prince will be here soon!"
So Sun Shaozu continued to wait and served the pair again. He didn't even look at the tea.
He only has one thought now, and that is whether to take advantage of the opportunity to go there.
But he was worried that Zhu Jinghong would arrive and it would be rude for him to go to the convenience store.
After another ten minutes of waiting, Sun Shaozu not only felt uncomfortable physically, but also felt even worse mentally. He regretted that he should have gone to the convenience store just now and wasted all this time.
"General Sun, the prince invites you to come to the back garden for a talk!"
"Please!"
Sun Shaozu had no choice but to get up and follow the young eunuch deeper into the palace. I walked away, thinking about what I was going to talk about later.
A few minutes later, he was led outside a pavilion, where Zhu Jinghong was sitting alone, with only Yu Hai waiting around.
The little eunuch who led the way retreated. At this time, Zhu Jinghong was already waving to Sun Shaozu, who quickly ran into the pavilion.
"Meet your Highness!"
After signaling Sun Shaozu to stand up, Zhu Jinghong asked: "When did you come back?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I am here this morning "Arrived in Beijing!"
"Arrived in Beijing this morning? Have you gone home?" Zhu Jinghong was deeply surprised.
It does seem too abnormal to come to the palace right after arriving in Beijing in the morning. After all, he is not the emperor yet.
Zhu Jinghong became more wary of such overly flattering people.
"I went back home and brought my wife with me, and now she is meeting the princess!"
"Well!"
"This journey has been long. Is it still smooth?" Zhu Jinghong asked again.
Sun Shaozu replied: "I'm very happy to be able to come back to Beijing. Even if there are some things that don't go well, I'm happy with it!"
"Why do you always choose to come back after the new year?" ?”
These senior generals and Shaozu are always behind the scenes.
"Everyone wants to go home and reunite before the end of the year. After all, I am young and inexperienced, so..."
Sun Shaozu did not continue, while Zhu Jinghong nodded slightly. Many things did not need to be explained too clearly.
Standing up, Zhu Jinghong slowly walked out of the pavilion, and Sun Shaozu immediately followed.
At this moment, he was the only two walking together in the huge garden. This was the treatment only an absolute confidant could receive, and Sun Shaozu knew this very well.
During the conversation between the two, Zhu Jinghong emphatically asked about the situation in Junggar, while Sun Shaozu answered in detail.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong stopped and stood by the lake and asked: "So... the two sides fought repeatedly in the Turpan area, but our army did not gain an absolute advantage?"
"That's it. Sometimes our army suppresses them, and sometimes they can push them back. Now it's just a tactic to add fuel to the fire...In fact, there has been no fighting in the past year!"
"No one has We are sure to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, so we don’t dare to launch a general offensive. If this stalemate continues... we don’t know when it will end!”
The battle on the front line is very difficult, and even he, a senior general, feels uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there is a rotation system now. As the main force of the battle, the guards and the Beijing camp have been replaced many times in the past two years.
The Northern Four Guards who had previously gone on an expedition with Zhu Jinghong were all withdrawn in the autumn of the 13th year of Zhengtong.
"They couldn't bear it anymore, so they sent people to the capital for peace talks!"
After talking about the northwest, Zhu Jinghong continued along the lakeside path, while Sun Shaozu One step behind followed closely.
"You have been working in the northwest for almost two years, what are your thoughts?"
This question is very critical. Sun Shaozu sensed the opportunity inside, and he suddenly became excited and nervous. .
Do you have any ideas? Of course, people only have this idea when walking to higher places, so what His Highness means is...
With his mind running rapidly, Sun Shaozu carefully grasped the appropriateness. Then he replied: "I was promoted by His Highness, and when I was promoted, I commanded all the affairs and commanded the army... Whatever His Highness asked me to do, I will try my best to do it well!"
His words were The pun is not only an answer to Zhu Jinghong's question, but also expresses his attitude towards the tasks assigned by Zhu Jinghong.
Sun Shaozu is capable and has a very high emotional intelligence. He is definitely a rare talent...
Talents are very important, and getting them makes you happy, so Zhu Jinghong smiled at this time .
Turn around, Zhu Jinghong affirmed: "I am very relieved when you do things!"
When he looked at him, Sun Shaozu bent down appropriately. Go and express your respect for your benefactor all the time.
"I plan to put more burdens on you... What do you think?"
Additional burdens? Your Highness has another appointment for me? Sun Shaozu's heart became alive.
It is said that leaning against a big tree is a good way to enjoy the shade. He is leaning against a towering tree. How can he not rise to great heights... Sun Shaozu burst into laughter in his heart.
“But according to His Highness’ ordersOrder, I will go through fire and water without hesitation! "
Turn around and continue walking forward, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "I have recommended you to the Holy One to go to North Korea and monitor the kings and ministers of North Korea! "
Of course Sun Shaozu has heard about the garrison in North Korea. The person in charge at the moment is Qi Yanze, who is a third-grade military attaché.
Although Sun Shaozu is a fourth-grade military attaché The rank he actually holds is from the fourth rank to the rank of commander.
In other words, if he succeeds Qi Yanze, his actual position is likely to be promoted to another level.
According to his rank. Based on his experience, he should be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Andong Xingdu Division. It would be very suitable for him to be stationed in North Korea in this capacity.
After thinking about this, Sun Shaozu was ecstatic, but on the surface he was quite happy. Calm.
"I am really ashamed to be treated with such courtesy and respect by His Highness..." Sun Shaozu knelt down and saluted.
"Get up... I am loyal to the Holy One, so I must do it for you. The country has promoted virtuous people. How can I sit back and watch a talented person like you be wasted! "
"It's just that there is no conclusion yet on this matter... Whether it succeeds or fails depends on the Holy Will! ”
“No matter success or failure, Your Majesty’s great kindness will be unforgettable! "
Seeing Sun Shaozu kneel down again, Zhu Jinghong raised his hand and said: "Get up..."
"This matter is of great importance. If the Holy Will is with you, I will do something else. I have a command for you! ”
I was given other instructions, which meant that I had to do some private work...
Sun Shaozu was indeed very thoughtful about doing personal things for Zhu Jinghong. He himself is very happy to serve.
After all, doing errands for the imperial court is a matter of personal responsibility, while doing things for Zhu Jinghong is a favor and a bond to solidify the relationship.
"Yes! ”
“You don’t have any children? "
"I have been married for less than two years and often fight abroad, so I have no heirs yet..."
"This is not possible. You have achieved success at such a young age. I don't know how many people secretly Jealousy, afraid that others will make a fuss about it! "
"Do you understand what I mean? "Zhu Jinghong looked back again.
Having no son is indeed Sun Shaozu's heartache. Seeing that Zhu Jinghong even cared about these things really moved him.
But the real reason is, Zhu Jinghong felt that since Sun Shaozu had no children, it would be inconvenient to deal with this person in the future.
His thoughts were the same as when he asked Ni Er's son about these important positions. Zhu Jinghong will try his best to deal with this person.
"I understand...I will definitely have a good time when I return to Beijing..."
"You don't need to tell me this. Just understand it in your own mind! ”
The two continued to walk forward. This time, Zhu Jinghong was introducing the affairs of North Korea, which made Sun Shaozu realize that this errand would most likely fall on him.
Even Jin Yiwei is one of our own, so he went to North Korea and was not a Tu emperor?
No, His Highness is the uncrowned king of North Korea...Sun Shaozu quickly corrected his concept.
North Korea was laid out in this way. It was obvious that Zhu Jinghong wanted to do something. Sun Shaozu knew that he had to clarify his position and must not miss this man's affairs.
His Highness can hold me up and pull me down easily... Sun Shaozu thought.
The two talked for almost two more minutes. When the sun was setting, Yu Hai came up to report something, which made Sun Shaozu realize that it was time to leave.
But when parting, this guy couldn't help but tell one thing.
“Your Highness,
The so-called “brothers” of Sun Shaozu are not the lowest-level soldiers, but generals of fifth rank and above who have previously participated in the battle on the northwest front.< /p>
These people have been promoted through meritorious service in Zhu Jinghong, and now they are rotated back to the guards and the Beijing camp. They all want to thank Zhu Jinghong.
It is a pity that no matter last year or this year, during the Chinese New Year. Zhu Jinghong never saw visitors, leaving these people to "look at the ocean and sigh"
"No need, just focus on making contributions to the court, don't think too much about other things! "
"There is one more thing I want to report! "
"Speak! ”
“I learned that His Highness had won consecutive battles in Korea, and now the brothers in the northwest are also looking forward to His Highness going to take charge of the throne again. This matter...”
Now in the Northwest Compared with when Zhu Jinghong commanded the army, almost all of them had been replaced. Even so, these people still wanted him to command the army, which shows that he has high prestige in the entire army.
Zhu Jinghong was certainly happy about this fact. But at the same time, he was also worried.
With such a high prestige in the military, it was a great challenge to the imperial power, and the risk was extremely high for him.
"This matter is very high. It should not be mentioned again that the Lord has his own holy judgment on the appointment and dismissal of generals. How can a minister say so? Zhu Jinghong asked with a cold face.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was really angry, Sun Shaozu quickly confessed: "It's... I made a mistake. Your Highness, please forgive me!" "
"If you have nothing to do, just go back first... Just stay at home these days and don't cause trouble for yourself! "
"Yes! ”
“Go!
Sun Shaozu said goodbye and left. After a brief thought, Zhu Jinghong looked at Yu Hai and asked, "What did the princess say?" "
"The princess said... Your Majesty, you will know when you go! "
There is no other way, Zhu Jinghong can only go there in person.
Taking Yu Hai all the way to Tongxin Hall, Zhu Jinghong found Baochai's study room. At this moment, only Ying'er and Wen Xing were there. .
"What's the matter? "
"Xiao Hong and Jia Yun got married on the fifth day of February. They both contributed to the palace... We need to be more courteous. This is the gift list I have drawn up. Do you think it is suitable? "
Ying'er took the gift list and handed it carefully to Zhu Jinghong's hand.
Sitting on the guest chair, Zhu Jinghong briefly turned over it twice and then handed it over to Zhu Jinghong.He put the list on the coffee table and said, "Just take care of this matter!"
After saying that, he asked again: "You called me here... just for this matter. ?”
With a smile, Baochai got up from the chair, walked around the desk to the other side of the coffee table, and sat down on the chair.
"Of course not...there is another gift, which must be handed over to you personally!"
Seeing Baochai speaking mysteriously, Zhu Jinghong asked: "Yes "What gift?"
"Your sister Lin has a letter!" Baochai said, picking up the tea cup.
"Hmm...huh? Who wrote the letter? Where is the letter?"
In one sentence, Zhu Jinghong changed his expression and tone several times, and looked at De Baochai "chuffing" and laughing. After she was born, she even spurted tea out of her body.
"Look at you like this...I haven't seen you like this even before the imperial edict came!"
Glancing at the desk, Zhu Jinghong didn't see the letter, so he turned around and pulled the While stroking her hand, the wife asked with a smile: "Baochai...you are my good sister, where is the letter?"
Withdrawing her slender hand, Baochai smiled and cursed: "Stop trying to coax me with these words, how could your good sister be me!"
"Baochai... let's not worry about this for now, where is Lin Yatou's letter?"
< p>"Ouch... I'm so busy every day, and everyone cares about me, I can't think of it for a while!"Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong stood up and walked towards Baochai's general. He picked it up.
"I can't remember...then I'll look for it myself. It must be on you anyway, so I'll just search it myself!"
"Ah..." Baochai screamed .
After being pushed onto the soft couch by Zhu Jinghong, she begged for mercy after a while and asked Ying'er to take the letter.
"Now, you got your wish!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled, opened the letter and read it, and then the smile on his face disappeared.
Because in this letter, Daiyu first expressed her gratitude to Baochai for taking care of her, especially for the gifts and supplements she sent every New Year, which allowed Zhu Jinghong to witness what sisterly love is.
The second half of the letter mentioned Zhu Jinghong, but it was complaining that he was too carefree and worried that Baochai would be wronged and bullied in the palace.
At the end of the letter, Daiyu asked Baochai to say hello to Zhu Yunsheng and Xiangyun on her behalf.
After reading the letter, Zhu Jinghong felt very uncomfortable, and felt that he had paid the wrong amount sincerely.
But in fact, he was basically busy with business and showed little behavioral concern for Daiyu, so it was normal for people not to mention him.
Of course, the most important thing is that this is a letter written by Daiyu to Baochai. Daiyu herself has a certain limit on what should and should not be said.
I don’t know when Baochai walked up to Zhu Jinghong. When he saw him dumbfounded, he asked: "Have you finished reading?"
