Soon, the matter of the emperor's personal expedition spread in the capital. Even the content of the negotiations in the past two days spread on the streets and alleys. This was a huge matter in the Ming Dynasty. Almost everyone, following the political tradition of the imperial capital, expressed their opinions on it.

In the restaurant, an old Confucian scholar, with a frosty face, sipped white wine, put down his glass, and said with emotion: "As soon as he arrived in the capital, I heard such a big news. I really didn't expect that the emperor would actually be in charge of the army! The soldiers were fierce and the emperor was not afraid at all!"

His deskmate, who was younger than him, heard this, immediately smiled and said in a speech of the capital: "That's it! Thinking back then, when Jianlu had 100,000 troops besieged the city, the emperor stood on the top of the city, and arrows flew around, but the emperor didn't even blink. Do you think the emperor was still afraid of leading the army to fight?"

When the old Confucian scholar heard this, he said with disbelief: "Impossible, how could the emperor go to the top of the city? That's too dangerous!"

"Haha, what's the point!" The young Confucian scholar heard this and said with a hint of pride: "The heroic spirit of our northern men in the Ming Dynasty is not something you can imagine in Jiangnan. The emperor was still on the city that day, and he angrily scolded the slave chief, saying that he would definitely lead the army to fight in person in the future, pay the blood debts and recover Liaodong. Now, the emperor is ready to lead the army to fight!"

"Don't forget, the emperor's words and words are just for sure, and how can there be any change? Not long ago, the emperor reiterated this matter again in front of the Zhonglie Hall." At the table next to him, there were diners with a capital accent, who turned their heads and shouted to the old Confucian scholar: "So, no one will be surprised if the emperor wants to command the emperor personally. As long as it is the people in the capital, you will know that the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be so surprised!"

When the old Confucian scholar heard this, he was slightly ecstatic and seemed to be thinking about this. But when his deskmate heard that others seemed to despise his friends, he was a little angry and quickly defended himself: "This brother, you can't say that. My brother Xia, does not have the bad habits of ordinary people from Jiangnan. He has hiked the Ming Dynasty since he was young, from east to west, from south to north, and he has left his footprints in countless places..."

"Haha, just blow it, how is that possible!" The man heard this, looked disbelief and even looked a little contemptuous, as if he was talking, he couldn't even lie, and he was just making up when he heard it.

Indeed, in this era, transportation was far less developed than later generations. The scope of activities for ordinary people in their lives was at most the county town and the prefecture town was at its peak, and there were even fewer people who would leave the province. But just now, the young man said that his friend was hiking all over the country in the Ming Dynasty, which was simply unimaginable to others.

After hearing the man's sarcastic and contemptuous words, the young man saw that other diners around seemed to have this meaning, and immediately became anxious and quickly said to the old Confucian scholar: "Brother Xia Ke, show them your travel notes. These shallow people don't believe in Brother Xia's affairs. It's really unreasonable!"

The old Confucian scholar came to his senses when he called him, and immediately smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I was thinking that if the emperor could really recover Liaodong, he would be able to go to Liaodong in his lifetime! Look at the legendary white mountains and black waters!"

When he said this, he was calm and neither arrogant nor humble, and he felt at first sight. What the young man said just now is true, but he is unwilling to show off and is very dignified and does not care about other people's misunderstandings.

After hearing this, the young man glared at the diner who had spoken before, then turned around and comforted his companion: "The emperor will be able to regain Liaodong in person! Brother Xia will definitely get what he wants, maybe he will be able to set foot in the mountains and rivers of Liaodong next year!"

"Haha, that's not necessarily true!" The diner was stared at just now and sang a counter-topic. "Although I've really won several consecutive battles, this time I went to Jianlu's nest, and people would definitely fight to the death. It's hard to say that I can win this war with great confidence! Thinking about the Tumu Fort Incident back then, everyone thought..."

Before he could finish his words, he immediately attracted a lot of scolding from people next to him, which seemed to arouse public anger.

"The emperor is wise and powerful, and he will definitely win!"

"Believe it or not, your crow's mouth has tear your stinky mouth?"

"I have so many capable ministers and generals in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor will definitely be able to win triumph!"

“…”

Although these people were scolded, no one mentioned the government's behavior. It was probably because of the Ming Dynasty that chatted and posted big-character posters. Even if they were posted to the imperial city, it would be fine. But there was one thing that they should not be anonymous, otherwise they would be investigated strictly, which was completely different from the Qing Dynasty in later generations.

The man immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly accompanied him to help him with a smile: "Everyone, please calm down, you guys have said the wrong thing, I'll have a drink here, I'll give you a toast first!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up, a small glass of white wine, and drank it all, his face turned red, but at least he didn't choke. His behavior calmed down the dissatisfaction of the diners around him and spared him.

After the man sat back on his seat, he said with a smile on his face: "Actually, the emperor will definitely have tough battles, but he will definitely win in the end. Otherwise, you heard about the court meeting two days ago? Those people were clamoring to follow him, but they still wanted to take credit. If they defeated the battle, they would be the most shrewd..."

The old Confucian scholar, Xu Xiake, didn't drink and eat, and was listening carefully. For him, his only hobby in his life was to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, Liaodong was occupied by Jianlu, which was a pity. But now Liaodong seems to be in sight, and his interest suddenly rose. He pricked his ears and thought that he could hear the exact news. Otherwise, he would not want to stay in the capital, but he could not wait for the news of Liaodong's recovery and wasted time.

When the people in this restaurant heard that the man changed the topic and talked about the most popular things in the capital today, they couldn't help but interrupt.

"Not! That marquis is just relying on the bride of his ancestors. He has no ability to go into battle to kill the enemy. Haha, it's almost the same to be killed by Jianlu!"

"Yes, which of the hereditary princes in the capital has led their troops to fight? Did they show off when Jianlu besieged the capital last time? Didn't they see the emperor's command in person and knowing that he would definitely win, so they cried and shouted that they had to go!"

“…”

After these despised words, someone suddenly sighed: "The emperor is too. He is so kind to these people. He is the one who is fighting Liaoyang and Shenyang, and he is leading the new army. But these people who are in trouble have to arrange to go to the Yalu River. It is so preferential!"

"You said, if Jianlu could not defeat the emperor, would he run to North Korea? Then these people deserved it!" Someone asked gloatingly after hearing this.

"Impossible!" Almost several people said this in unison. Then, they looked at each other, and an older person explained, "If you don't say there is a Yalu River over there, it is not easy for Jianlu to run over. Even if they run over and pursuers follow, it is equivalent to blocking North Korea. Jianlu will run towards North Korea if he is stupid!"

"Or what if you think those military generals and nobles are fools. They can do dangerous things? They will even pat their chests in front of the emperor!" Someone immediately echoed, "They are smart!"

When Xu Xiake's deskmate heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and said a little unfairly: "The emperor knows the incompetence of these people. Otherwise, how could they let their servants take them into battle? Speaking of which, it's really because the emperor remembers the contributions of their ancestors. Giving them such a chance is really a bargain!"

"That's right, the emperor is so easy to talk to. I want me to say that those who dare to go to Liaodong can be sent directly to attack Liaoyang!" The other diners said indignantly after hearing this.

"You don't know that these days they are all preparing to go out with the battle. The Fengyue Tower is busy, saying that they are practicing and going to the battlefield. But it is said that they are already calculating each other how much credit they should make! A few shameless people are still looking for a storyteller to compile a storyteller and brag about their expedition to Liaodong!"

“…”

When Xu Xiake heard this, he was basically sure that Liaodong could definitely be recovered this time. With such a decision, his heart suddenly became hot. It was time for him to make some preparations and go to Liaodong!

He was thinking that his deskmate sat on the side of the stool and discussed with the diners beside him. He heard him say with a little regret: "But fortunately the emperor is not infinitely nice to them. This time, those people raised their own food and supplies, and did not affect the main army. Otherwise, the loyal ministers in the court would definitely submit an appeal!"

"Yes, the emperor is so wise, he can definitely tell the difference between importance and importance. It is one thing to treat them with kindness and kindness, but the emperor is not a joke in person, and it is true that it cannot be affected. With the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, I can guarantee that the strength of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be comparable to the previous dynasty!"

“…”

Although the discussion in the restaurant was full of heat, there were three tables in the corner and they did not participate in the discussion. The table behind it was a young man in his twenties, drinking a small wine and listening to them talking, with a smile on his face.

After a while, he couldn't hear any flowers coming, so he ordered the person sitting on the side to say, "Please invite him over and talk."

The man turned around and looked at it, a little confused, but since he had already given the order, he did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately agreed, then stood up, walked to Xu Xiake and said, "Brother, my master has invited me, please step by step!"

Xu Xiake was listening to the chat when suddenly a tall man stood beside him and spoke to him. When he looked up, he was slightly stunned. To be honest, he had traveled around the world more and more people in all kinds of places. Just by looking at this, he could see that this tall man was not an ordinary person. The faint aura on his body, including his tone of speaking, was inadvertently with a hint of indifference.

Xu Xiake was surprised and turned around and saw a young man inside looking here with a smile, full of sunshine and confidence. This was his first feeling.

"Who is your master? Why don't you come here in person..." Xu Xiake's deskmate was happy when he suddenly saw someone coming to invite Xu Xiake, but without taking any care of him, he was a little unhappy and wanted to say something to him.

But Xu Xiake had already stood up, stopped him from speaking, and nodded with a smile.

If you are away from home, try not to offend others. What's more, the other party is not an ordinary person and has no malice. At the same time, he is a little curious, not knowing what happened to the young man who invited him over?

The young man did not stand up and sat there for granted. After letting Xu Xiake sit, he asked with a smile: "I just heard that you have traveled all over the Ming Dynasty and wrote travel notes. Is this really the case?"

Several diners who were talking noticed the movement here, and were curious and stopped talking, and were all listening. When they heard the young man’s question, they couldn’t help but focus their attention on Xu Xiake.

Most of them have always been skeptical and can understand it.

Xu Xiake was a little stunned when he heard this, but then he thought about it and seemed that he had no other reason to be noticed, so he nodded and said, "My whole life's hobby is to look at mountains, water, and the Ming Dynasty. After traveling, I did write something."

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and reached into his sleeve. Suddenly, he was a little stunned because he felt that the tall man who had been standing by the side after he had just invited him seemed a little nervous, his skin was tight, and he seemed to be about to take action at any time.

Xu Xiake's eyes came out of the corner of his eyes, and at the same time, he saw the young man seemingly shaking his head slightly, and the tall man returned to normal.

Who is this young man? This idea suddenly appeared in Xu Xiake's mind, and his intention to figure it out became stronger and stronger.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiake had already taken out a book, opened it, flipped it, then put it on the table, pushed it to the young man and said, "This is the travel notes I have written after traveling to Songshan, Wutai, Huashan, Hengshan and other places in the past two years. You can take a look."

When the young man saw this, he reached out and picked it up, his expression on his face became focused, and he looked at it seriously.

When other diners saw this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't expect that this person had a lot of travel, but they didn't expect that it was still true!

They whispered to each other and said in a low voice to their companions, "Why do I look at it? That young man seems a little familiar!"

"Is that right? It should be the young master in the mansion?" his companion responded, but frowned, "I think the tall man standing there seems to be a little familiar!"

But after thinking for a while, they didn't remember seeing it there. At this time, the young man read the previous pages of travel notes, then briefly flipped through the back and put down the travel notes.
Chapter completed!
