Chapter 1489: Ten years of life and death
The reason why Fan Zeng did not answer Zhu Yuanzhang immediately, but thought for a long time before answering, was because he sensed that the Ming court was hiding secrets from them.
It's just that although Fan Zeng was determined to dig out this secret, he and Guo Jia fought several times and failed to get it. There was no progress in the investigation of this secret. With limited intelligence, it was naturally impossible to analyze more secrets. Come.
As wise as Fan Zeng was, he did not analyze anything else from Qin Hao's marriage proposal. He just thought that this was Qin Hao's strategy to cover up the obvious. But there was one person who saw something else, and he was Zhu Yunwen.
Different from Zhu Yuanzhang and others who disdained and ridiculed Qin Hao's marriage proposal, Zhu Yunwen only felt frightened after hearing this.
Zhu Yunwen didn't think that Qin Hao would bring shame on himself, and since he dared to propose marriage to Emperor Ming openly, it proved that Qin Hao was definitely sure of success.
Zhu Yunwen has determined that Qin Hao and Emperor Ming are both time travellers, and since these two people come from the same place, why can't they be combined?
At the thought of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, and thought to himself: "The King of Qin and the Emperor Ming, are these two time travelers planning to join forces? If the two of them join forces, will anyone else in the world have anything to do with it?"
The King of Qin was already the overlord of the princes, and the Ming Dynasty was second only to Qin.
Although Emperor Ming did not completely control the Ming Dynasty, the power in Emperor Ming's hands should not be underestimated.
If King Qin and Emperor Ming join forces, they will already have the power to unify the world. No princes can be their opponents. Unless all the princes in the world abandon their past grievances and join forces to fight against them, it will be impossible in the short term.
Zhu Yunwen was frightened by his guess, and thought to himself: "This is just a possibility, and it may not be true."
Although Zhu Yunwen thought of this, he also thought that this possibility was unlikely. After all, if Qin Hao and Emperor Ming wanted to join forces, they would have already joined forces. How could they wait until now?
Since Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it himself, he didn't tell anyone else about this guess, because no one believed it, not even Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunwen knew how much Zhu Yuanzhang cared about Emperor Ming. In the words of the immortal, he was a loyal licker.
If Zhu Yunwen really spoke ill of the emperor to Zhu Yuanzhang without any basis, he might arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction and eventually get burned. After all, Zhu Yunwen in this life is no longer Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson.
Although Zhu Yunwen didn't tell anyone else, he still discussed it with Xianxian after he returned. Although Xianxian was a little clever in some small things, when faced with such major military and national affairs, it was obvious that her brain was not enough, and she Unable to provide useful advice to Zhu Yunwen.
Just like that, two days later, intelligence came from Jizhou, which made Zhu Yunwen even more uneasy.
The Ming court did not refuse King Qin’s marriage proposal. Instead, it wanted to recruit Zhu Yuanzhang back to the capital to report on his duties and discuss future strategies.
Zhu Yuanzhang basically had no reaction to Ming Ting's actions. They all seemed to think that this was a matter of course and that Ming Ting simply ignored Qin Hao.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't think so. After all, if you don't recruit him early, you won't recruit him later. Why must he recruit Zhu Yuanzhang back to the capital at this time?
Coupled with the previous marriage proposal of King Qin, Zhu Yunwen vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it, so he firmly opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's return to Jizhou. However, returning to Beijing to report on his duties was something Zhu Yuanzhang had decided long ago.
As early as two years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang had decided to go back to report his duties in person in order not to arouse Emperor Ming's suspicion. However, he was delayed in Xuzhou due to the war, and was later delayed due to various matters. Now after such a long time, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not go back, Emperor Ming may really doubt his loyalty, so even if Zhu Yunwen objects, Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to return to Jizhou will not waver.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang could not be persuaded, Zhu Yunwen was helpless, but he could not provide more evidence. After all, these were just his guesses and there was no evidence.
Zhu Yunwen also firmly opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's return to Jizhou out of caution, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused to listen, and he had no idea at all.
"Sir, don't try to persuade me again. I'm just returning to Jizhou to report on my duties. There will be no danger."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's disapproval, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If the lord is determined to go, then please let me go with him. In addition, let General Luo Shixin act as a guard and bring the Overlord Cavalry with him."
“Is this necessary?” Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Yunwen hasn't returned yet, but Fan Zeng on the side said: "My lord's safety is above all else, so for the sake of caution, I'd better take him with me."
“That’s...okay.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, he nodded and agreed. Although he didn't think it was necessary, his subordinates were kind-hearted after all, so it was hard to refuse.
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang took Luo Shixin, Zhu Yunwen, Xianxian, and three thousand Overlord Cavalry and embarked on the road back to Jizhou.
At the same time, other princes also got the news that Qin Hao proposed to Emperor Ming, and this matter became the most discussed matter in the world after Zhao Kuangyin's rosy news.
The common people did not mind the excitement to see the fuss. Some people thought that Qin Hao was a match made in heaven with Emperor Ming. Others thought that Qin Hao was not worthy of Emperor Ming. Some even thought that Emperor Ming was not worthy of Qin Hao. In short, it was all.
As for the major princes, most of them thought this was a strategy to paralyze Emperor Ming so that he could seize Huguan. This method was simply despicable and shameless.
While the princes of Hebei were secretly cursing Qin Hao, they were also actively preparing for war in private to prevent Qin Hao from taking care of themselves after taking care of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, the princes of Guanxi were secretly relieved. The Qin army's goal was Huguan, which proved that they would not use troops against Guanxi for the time being, so they would naturally be safe.

In the Taihang Mountains, the temporary palace of the Ming Dynasty
Although the Ming army in Jizhou occupied a lot of territory in southern Hebei, after the war stopped, Emperor Ming still returned to the Taihang Mountains and handled government affairs in a temporary palace. He did not move the capital to the occupied city because it was a strategic location for the Ming army. An absolutely safe place.
“Ten years of life and death are so vast, without thinking about them, I cannot forget them. I am alone in a tomb thousands of miles away, and there is no place to talk about desolation. Even if I meet each other, I would not know each other, my face is covered with dust, and my temples are like frost...”
Looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, Emperor Ming read it softly word for word, and she gradually became obsessed with it.
Third update, there is currently one chapter left for the reward, and now the hard days are finally coming to an end.
