That afternoon, after Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo had their normal afternoon fun, he called all the generals under his command into the Daming Palace.
There was no special deployment, they were still asked to strengthen their armaments, recruit soldiers, and train sergeants as quickly as possible.
There is only one year, and Zhu Yuanzhang will only give them one year.
Zhang Wuji's idea was to take the initiative to fight Zhu Yuanzhang one year later.
Before he attacked, his troops took the lead in attacking, so that they could avoid fighting on their own soil.
If the war is fought on the external front, although there will be a certain pressure on food and grass, it will still be beneficial to people's livelihood. Zhang Wuji's most basic idea is that once the war breaks out, even if it destroys the economy and people's livelihood, it must be destroyed on Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. The area north of the Yellow River can no longer withstand large-scale local battles. If the war is fought on the external front at this moment, it will give the people a certain breathing space.
After explaining these things, a day had passed.
Fortunately, it is summer now. If it were winter, the sun would have already set.
Zhang Wuji still took Zhou Zhiruo's hand as usual.
But this time, just as he was about to return to his bedroom, he suddenly hesitated.
Although it was only a moment, Zhou Zhiruo, who was always sensitive, still guessed what Zhang Wuji was thinking.
Zhou Zhiruo sighed again: "My dear, I know you are affectionate and loyal, and I also know that what happened to Zhao Min has become a fact. I admit that my mind is not as big as Zhao Linger and the others, but it is not as petty as them."
"Go and see Zhao Min. Although I have never given birth to a child, I know that Zhao Min still needs you now. Even if she is angry with you, blames you, and hates you, you have become her man after all. It will be good for her to see you often."
Having said this, what else can Zhang Wuji say?
People always say that Zhou Zhiruo is narrow-minded, but Zhang Wuji knows that Zhou Zhiruo is not narrow-minded at all. Over the years, she has taken on so many things for him. If it were a narrow-minded woman, she would probably not be able to bear it long ago.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Wuji took Zhou Zhiruo's hand and came to where Zhao Min lived now.
But when the two of them were about to enter the palace, Zhou Zhiruo pulled her hand out of Zhang Wuji's.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "My dear, don't hold my hand when you come in. Zhao Min's identity is different from her other sisters. She already hates you now. If you hold my hand in front of her again, I'm afraid it will make her even more angry."
Zhou Zhiruo was so considerate that Zhang Wuji gave her a look of sincere gratitude.
After receiving this look, Zhou Zhiruo said disdainfully: "Don't give me that. What I said just now was only because that crazy woman was pregnant. If Zhao Min was not pregnant, I would have dealt with her long ago."
…
In the courtyard outside the palace, Zhao Min was practicing sword.
She had obeyed all of Zhang Wuji's orders, eating well and sleeping well, but she always had to find something to do for herself.
The sword of the Heavenly Sword, which had accompanied her for many years, was now placed across Zhou Zhiruo's waist.
But for someone like Zhao Min, a branch in her hand is enough. She has already been among the top five in the world. Even if she only holds a branch in her hand, she is still extremely powerful.
…
Zhao Min is still as heroic as ever. Although her belly is slightly bulging, it does not affect her beauty.
A hint of jealousy appeared in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes again.
But what appeared in Zhang Wuji's eyes was worry: "Who told you to move like this? What if you hurt the child?"
"Are you forcing me to kill all the soldiers under your command?"
Zhao Min was frightened by this sudden shout.
She quickly threw the branch in her hand aside, looking funny, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Why are you here?"
Zhang Wuji replied: "I missed you and came to see you."
After experiencing what happened last time, Zhang Wuji's heart became much more sincere. Even though Zhou Zhiruo was still by his side, he no longer hid it like that.
Zhao Min sighed and gently stroked her lower abdomen a few times: "What do I have to think about? I don't want to see you at all. I will be angry when I see you."
Zhang Wuji said: "Even if you are angry, you have to see me. I am the father of your child and your man. No matter how angry or resentful you are, you will never be able to get rid of me in your life."
"Also, before you give birth to the baby, you are not allowed to do what you did today. If you hurt the baby, I can really do anything."
Zhao Min remained silent and just gave Zhang Wuji a fierce look.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo sneered and said, "Zhao Min, you'd better recognize the situation. Zhang Wuji only has one son and one daughter now. This is considered a small family for ordinary people, not to mention that he is an emperor."
"If anything happens to the baby in your belly, I guarantee that none of your damn Three Doyan Guards will be left alive."
"Don't ever doubt what I say..."
After Zhou Zhiruo threatened Zhao Min a few words, she turned and walked out.
Zhang Wuji felt a little worried.
Just when he wanted to grab Zhou Zhiruo's wrist, Zhou Zhiruo said, "You talk to Zhao Min alone, I'll wait for you somewhere far away."
…
Zhou Zhiruo always says that she is narrow-minded, but in Zhang Wuji's opinion, Zhou Zhiruo's understanding towards him is deep in her bones.
Who can not love such a beauty?
…
After Zhou Zhiruo left, Zhang Wuji winked at the maids serving Zhao Min not far away.
The maids quickly retreated tactfully.
After everyone left, Zhang Wuji quickly stepped forward and held Zhao Min in his arms.
Zhao Min struggled hard for a few times: "Let me go, do you know how much I hate you?"
"I never want to see you again in my life."
Zhang Wuji said softly: "Min'er, stop struggling. Do you still remember what I said to you? If you and I are together, we can ease the conflicts between ethnic groups."
"Don't struggle anymore, I will really treat you well."
Zhao Min sneered: "On that dark night, I remember every word you said to me and every action you took towards me. Not to mention that I was an emperor at that time, but I was still a young girl after all. Why did you treat me like that? You bullied me into what you are now. It's okay to get my body, but you also want to get my heart. Don't be delusional."
