The fighting in the steppes has been successfully burned, and the Tatars and Warat are fighting lively, and it is expected that it will not stop for a year or two.

The Jurchen tribes went to the Ming Dynasty in groups to pay tribute, the horses were all handed over to the military governor's office after the march, and the ginseng and fur selected the best ones were sent to Nanjing with the music, and the Jurchens who stayed in the hall looked forward to Meng Shaoqing being free to see him all day long.

After the above number of years, Meng was successfully completed the task assigned by Emperor Yongle. Now he just waits for the edict of the Son of Heaven to give a little sweetness to the Jurchen leaders living in the guild hall, send them away, and he can pack up his baggage and return to Daning.

During Meng's absence in Daning, Daning commanded a series of personnel changes within the embassy.

Daning Du commanded the envoy Zhang Gui to transfer Zhejiang to command the envoy, and in a few years, he was reduced to a thousand households because of the crime, and because of the impeachment of the imperial history, he was sent to Yunnan to defend the border, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back in this life.

Daning commanded Wang Yong, Xu Cheng was guilty, and he remembered his meritorious service in Tuntian, and was demoted to Daning Zuowei, so that the border was self-effective. Soon, Wang Yong was promoted to commander because of his meritorious service in resisting the Tartars. Xu Cheng was impeached by the imperial history because of his grievances, and he had bad remarks about the imperial court, and he was ordered to be imprisoned in Jinyi. The team that arrested people was personally led by the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

The Son of Heaven ordered that Peng Chengwei be transferred to command Yu Cheng, Yulin Qianwei to command Yang Cheng, Liu Qi, Huang Bao, etc. to command Daning, Li Xi, and Zhou Guanbao were all Daning Tongzhi.

Give the capital of the capital of Daning, Yao Tangqi, clothes and money, and the rest are still in their original positions, and each gives money and money is poor, mostly for encouragement.

Looking at the list listed on the paper, Meng took a deep breath, on the bright side, Daning's assassination had come to an end, but those who had a certain understanding of Emperor Yongle knew that the aftermath of this matter would last for a long time.

Once Zhu Di suddenly remembered that on a certain day, a certain year, a certain number of lawbreakers conspired to assassinate me, which also involved Jianwen's old ministers, maybe he would send a brocade guard, take a driving post, and invite someone to the edict to talk about life ideals, flowers-birds-wind-moon.

Among the people who were degraded, Zhang Gui was investigated for his old affairs, and Xu Cheng was for another reason.

Meng didn't expect that Xu Yanshi, who had always given him a calm impression, turned out to be a wall-riding faction, and he had ridden more than one wall.

King Ning, the former minister of Jianwen, the two sons of the crown prince of Yiwen who was deposed as a concubine, Xu Chengdu has a connection.

Such a talent is actually just a commander, and if he joins the intelligence department, he will definitely be able to shine. Work hard, after Yang Duo, there may be nothing to do.

It's a pity that I went the wrong way.

At first, Meng was confused and didn't understand who Xu Cheng was.

It wasn't until Ji Gang revealed to him that during the Hongwu period, Xu Cheng's father Zeng was at least Zhan Shi and tutored the prince Zhu Biao, and then because he was involved in the Hu Weiyong case, the prince was able to save his family's life and was sent to the border.

As for why Xu Cheng became friends with Zhang Gui, and whether Zhang Gui's previous actions in the Daning Dusi were related to him, Meng didn't want to delve into it.

Everyone has entered the edict, and the relationship behind it has been discovered, unless Emperor Yongle suddenly starts to eat fast and recite Buddha and puts down the butcher knife, otherwise, Xu Cheng will not be able to come out in this life.

According to the style of the Son of Heaven, he may not be willing to investigate the root cause of his subordinates. Whenever it comes to the power struggle within the Zhu family, especially the struggle for the throne between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, smart people should stay away.

The world has changed hands, Zhu Di is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunwen is alive or dead, not something that Meng should worry about. What he has to do now is to wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven to be issued, return to Daning happily, concentrate on doing a good job in economic construction, occasionally enrich his spiritual life, contact the grassland tribes who are interested in attaching to him, and strive to create a harmonious, harmonious, and beautiful life in the border area.

Of course, life will be better if there are beauties by your side at all times.

Considering the habit of beauties who love to bite, this thought was flown away as soon as it arose.

Purse your lips, for the sake of face, until you find a solution, let's temporarily produce beauty from a distance.

In March of the second year of Yongle, the Son of Heaven sent an edict to Beijing.

Fu Meng was the guard of Daning, and he was awarded a good doctor and was governed by Shangqing. Free Honglu Temple Shaoqing, give 30 taels of silver, 15 color coins wrapped in tables, 50 ingots of banknotes.

The holy decree was handed over to Meng, and Bai Yan smiled back and said, "Our family congratulates Xing Ningbo." ”

Meng thanked him, and took the opportunity to be polite, and handed over the red envelope that had been prepared.

The edict was issued, and Meng was finally relieved.

After giving bonuses and adding honorary titles, you don't have to be worried about crossing the line by civil officials all day long, and you can return to Daning, Emperor Yongle really speaks, pure masters!

Bai Yanhui not only carried the edict to Meng, but also the edict summoning Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui back to Beijing.

Empress Xu's Thousand Autumn Festival is approaching, and the Son of Heaven intends to call his son back to his side. My son has been away from me for so long, and I always miss it.

Shen Xuan was also included, but Beijing couldn't do without him, if he left, Yuan Rong would have to lie down tired. Zhu Di really can't help it, he can't let the eldest girl cry in front of him for the horse again, right?

If you can't call your righteous son back, just give more rewards, Lao Tzu is willing to give it, and no one can care about it!

The reward silver was carried into the mansion, and Shen Xuan nodded in the direction of Nanjing, "The minister bows and thanks the Son of Heaven for his grace." ”

His eyes were slightly red, and his sincere feelings were revealed.

Needless to say, the internal officials who passed the decree would definitely be able to bring the loyalty and filial piety of the Marquis of Dingyuan to the emperor and empress.

Shen Xuan's reward was extremely rich, with as much as 500 taels of silver alone, and the color coins and treasure banknotes were even more packed.

Picking up a silver ingot with a full weight, Meng endured it for a few endures before he gritted his teeth and made a mark.

People are really incomparable, and the gap between the so-called "righteous son" and "courtier" is so obvious.

Uncle Meng held the silver in his hand for contemplation, and Marquis Shen naturally misunderstood, and ordered the box containing the silver ingot, "Twelve Lang likes it, so he will take it." ”

"I'll keep it?" Meng suspected that he had heard it wrong, five hundred taels, not five taels, let him keep it?

"Why not?" Shen Xuan was dressed in official clothes and crimson robes, which made his face like a crown of jade, handsome and extraordinary, leaning over, his fingers brushing Meng's chin, "You and I are in love, it should be so." ”

Meng: "......"

Whoever told him again that the ancients were subtle, absolutely a brick slapped over!

The imperial edict was delivered to Beijing, but Bai Yanhui did not stay and immediately rushed to Xuanfu.

After the war between Tatar and Warat, the Xuanfu border army strengthened the border defense, and the bunkers, lookout piers and enemy platforms built before the beginning of spring came in handy.

Zhu Gaoxu entrusted Zheng Heng with the main training and defense work, and he took his personal guards and border soldiers Han-Cheng-Ri to work in the fields.

At the same time, following the model of Daning City, the exiled households were recruited, the military households scattered in the early years were absorbed, and the grassland herdsmen who were willing to be attached were accepted, so as to reward and stimulate the work enthusiasm of the craftsmen of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and the arrangements were made by special personnel to be responsible, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

In less than a month, wheat seeds were sown on the barren fields that were reclaimed last year, and the barren land in winter was gradually covered with greenery.

The bunkers and piers were connected, the newly built walls smelled of mud bricks, and the young men in the city took the initiative to patrol with the border troops with long poles on their backs, clubs, bows and arrows.

When the border people went to the outside of the city to dig wood, they also formed a team of at least five people, and when they found the Tartars, they immediately gave warning, and the muzzles and crossbows were immediately opened. The deterrent power is no less than that of Kaiping Zhuwei.

Since the grassland fell into war, the northern Xinjiang has been defended in this way. Except for a small number of wounded Tartar soldiers and scattered rangers, a large number of Tartar cavalry never dared to approach Xuanfu Shili.

Zhu Gaoxu proved to his father that he was capable of defending one side and keeping the enemy out of the country. He can also farm like an ordinary soldier, squatting on the edge of the field with a rough man, holding a big bowl, and biting on a multigrain cake, without the slightest arrogance of the prince.

When Bai Yan found Zhu Gaoxu, he was opening his clothes and drinking cold water.

After a while, Bai Gonggong recognized that the person in front of him was His Royal Highness the King of Han, his eyes were instantly round, and his expression was indescribable.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu coming over, Bai Yan hurriedly saluted and said, "See Your Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and let Bai Yan get up.

"What is the matter with Grandpa Bai here?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has a will, Xuan Your Highness will return to Beijing, and wish Her Royal Highness the Queen a thousand years."

Hearing that his father summoned him back to Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

In the past, if he could be recalled to Beijing by his father, he would definitely pack his bags immediately and go straight to Nanjing. But now, he found that he was reluctant to be here, reluctant to give up the wheat fields he had cultivated with his own hands, and reluctant to live this seemingly bitter cold life.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, was his head smashed by a stone?

In fact, it was not only Zhu Gaoxu who was smashed in the head, but when Bai Gonggong went to Guangning to deliver the decree, Zhu Gaosui was also reluctant to leave.

Daning and Kaiyuan mutual markets have begun to take shape, opening at the beginning of the month and in the middle of each month, each time more lively.

In the beginning, the market was mostly for livestock and timber trading, but recently there have been many Jurchen and Mongol stalls. Timber for shipbuilding, horses for the border army, grain, spices, furs, and medicinal herbs can all be found in the market.

In addition to the Tatars and Jurchens, there were sporadic Hui and other Fanbang merchants who appeared in the market, holding waist cards obtained from the city gates, walking among the stalls, selecting goods and asking prices.

Adopting Meng's suggestion, Zhu Gaosui discussed with Liu Zhen, the warden of Daning, and set up a special tax collection department, and all those who traded in the mutual market, no matter who they were, had to pay taxes.

The minister needs to ask the Son of Heaven for advice on tax collection, and the Son of Heaven can only press it if he does not approve it.

Zhu Gaosui did not have this concern, according to Xingningbo's words, the merchants and hawkers of the Ming Dynasty had to pay two or three documents to set up a stall, and outsiders went to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to do business, no matter what, transaction income tax, booth fees, health management fees, etc., etc., etc., etc., all of which were indispensable.

After seeing the list listed by Meng, Zhu Gaosui was like an empowerment and slapped his thigh.

The entries on the list, all kinds of things add up to a market management regulation.

Compared with the list handed over by Xing Ningbo, the trial method he had set before should be crumpled into a ball and thrown into the brazier to burn.

By chance, the transcription of this list fell into the hands of Yuxin, the head of the household department in Beijing. After Yu Situ saw it, he regretted: "With Xingningbo's talent, it's really a pity not to work in the household department." ”

It was not easy to get Yu Situ's comment, and Meng couldn't help but be surprised when he learned about it afterwards.

Didn't you say that Wenchen didn't want to see him? It turns out that this is not the case.

No matter how reluctant Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are to put down the work in hand, when the father's order is issued, they must immediately pack up and go back to Nanjing to celebrate Empress Xu's birthday.

Zhu Gaosui took the first step, and before leaving, he did not forget to divide half of the good things he bought from the mutual market, and sent someone to bring Zhu Gaoxu to add to the birthday gift list for Queen Xu.

Now that my mother's gift is here, should I also prepare a gift for my father?

Unfortunately, the brothers were negligent for a while, and they all forgot about this stubble. After all, it's the mother's mother, not the father, who celebrates the birthday.

How Emperor Yongle will react to his son's differential treatment can only be known after the brothers return to Beijing.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Gaosui's gift included two models of lucky ships, even if they were miniature versions, the hull was enough to see a meter.

Since Meng told him the story of overseas foreign countries, Zhu Gaosui has always been thinking about that magical land, and Zhu Di ordered the construction of sea ships, and he is even more active than anyone else.

In his correspondence with Meng and Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui also often mentioned this matter, dreaming of his willingness to go to sea between the lines.

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal about this, but in his reply, he couldn't help but have a little yearning for the overseas world.

Meng Ze was thinking that if Zheng He's fleet had an extra Zhu Gaosui, the route of the fleet might change a lot.

Zheng He went to sea just to fulfill the emperor's order.

Zhu Gaosui is different, as the grandson of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the son of Emperor Yongle, opening up the territory and promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in his bones. If there is another Zhu Gaoxu, maybe the vast land of America will not have anything to do with Columbus.

Meng looked at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, domineering and leaking, across the continent, it seems that it is not impossible.

Well, he's Sue.

Wear-the more magical things can happen, Su Yi, can also be reasonable, right?

In March of the second year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were called to return to Beijing.

Zhu Gaoxu's team passed through Beijing and specially sent people to send two generous gifts to Shen Xuan and Meng. Go to the person to report, Xingningbo has already left for Daning, the gift was handed over to the Marquis of Dingyuan, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, did not stop, and ordered the team to continue to move forward, and be sure to arrive in Beijing before the Thousand Autumn Festival of Queen Xu.

When doing this, Zhu Gaoxu did not deliberately avoid Bai Yanhui.

He and Meng did pen pals, and his father knew that Xuanfu and Guangning Kaiyuan could have today, and Xingningbo also contributed to it.

The truth that Dao Yan told Meng was also revealed to Zhu Gaoxu. Instead of hiding and tucking, it is better to spread everything out.

What's more, there is a pervasive, brocade guard who loves to lie on the beams of the room, in front of his father, all secrets are no longer secrets.

After receiving a gift from Zhu Gaoxu, Meng was already in Daning City.

Daning's military training and tuntian are in charge of special personnel, spring ploughing is being carried out in an orderly manner, the bazaar has expanded the estimate, several inns have been opened in the city, and there are many more stalls selling food on the side of the road.

According to the report of the capital, many of the steppe tribes who came to Kaiyuan and Quang Ninh to trade in the mutual market would pass through Daning. A large number of people poured in, and inns and restaurants naturally came into being.

The food is not delicate, only the amount and taste. In particular, steamed buns with a large fist of military men, biwa cakes, large pieces of barbecued meat, and salted meat that can be stored for a long time are the most popular.

Many small tribes that traded horses would trade on the spot when they met a suitable buyer in Daning. On the horse, in the horse, off the horse, can be exchanged for tea, money or silk cloth, each has a quota, more money thousands of runs, less only one silk cloth.

From the military to the people, from agriculture to business, there is hardly an idle man in Daning City.

The first thing Meng did when he returned to Daning was to check this year's Tuntian and military training matters, and then identify people one by one according to the list. In case of improper assignment of errands, occasionally mention a few words. After a few times, not to mention getting along with his subordinates immediately, at least let these newcomers know that their own Daning town guard is not a decoration.

During this period, a group of convicts were sent to the garrison of Daning, including Li Wenyu, the former right attendant of the household department who was moved to Beijing to raise horses in Xingtaifu Temple because of the impeachment of Shen Xuan.

Due to the full quota of personnel in the Taifu Temple, there was really no extra place to arrange for him, and after reporting, Li Shilang was sent to Daning. Kaipingwei and Quanningwei both have horse farms, and they are just short of people.

Complain? Say the place is wrong? Who cares about you. As long as you are listed in the Xingtaifu Temple, where to raise horses is not to raise?

So, Li Shilang went all the way north and finally settled in Quanningwei.

In the same batch, Wang Yu, the deputy envoy of the Xixi Procuratorate, and Liang Cheng, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Procuratorate, were both accused of not repairing, failing to uphold their families, and losing their constitutional style.

To sum up simply, there is a problem with the style of life.

Ordinary officials who were impeached by the imperial history for such issues would be fined and lost their positions at most. Replaced by these two, they were directly sent to the side.

Who made them work in the Ombudsman's Division? He was in charge of criminal litigation and shouldered the responsibility of supervising local officials, and he also made such a mistake, which was clearly a violation of the law by knowing the law, and the crime was added to the first degree.

Liang Cheng didn't care about it for the time being, but the reason why Wang Yu was involved was because he married the daughter of a lawsuit prison as his wife, which was unconstitutional. As a result of the treatment, he was first imprisoned, because the queen was approaching, so she avoided death and was used as an army to garrison the border.

Appeal? Getting a wife doesn't hinder anyone?

I'm sorry, marrying the wrong wife is the biggest crime.

It can be seen that the statement that true love is invincible in Daming absolutely does not make sense. If you dare to defy the law, the end will never be good.

Thinking about the relationship between himself and Shen Xuan, touching the back of his neck, Meng gritted his teeth, there is an iron coupon at home to avoid death, and his head should not fall off. There is also the foreshadowing in the court, and the Yongle Emperor should not break his promise. If that doesn't work out, at most go to the border again! There are many battles in the Yongle year, and there will be a day of ups and downs sooner or later.

In addition, there is also Liu Da, the former commander of the Fujian Bank who was accused of receiving gifts in private.

For the sake of political achievements, he used pro-credit money to induce people to trade, so that he broke the law and gave Ding Yan in the matter.

Seeing the reason for this being sent to the border, Meng couldn't help but smack his tongue, the so-called fishing-fishing-law enforcement has existed since ancient times. But this one obviously didn't want to die for his political achievements, forgetting who he worked under him, and the official was not promoted, but was directly arrested by Jinyiwei.

Emperor Yongle himself said, "The ancients ruled the world, which is nothing more than a fair and righteous way." Today's villains are trying to invite merit, and if the people are afraid of the law and oppose the law, they will be sent to the official office, regardless of the goodness and goodness, and they should be severely punished for the crime of slandering the people! ”

This passage is clearly recorded in the file.

Closing the dossier, Meng took a deep breath, no matter how later generations evaluate Zhu Di as a person, but just by virtue of what he did during his political career, he is worthy of being the Yongle Emperor who brought the Ming Dynasty to the peak after Zhu Yuanzhang!

Meng sighed while thinking about how to arrange these prisoners so that they could shine in Daning. As everyone knows, a letter of impeachment against him has been sealed by the political envoy and sent to the palace.

It was none other than Zhu Di who impeached him, it was the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who pulled countless officials off the throne since Zhu Di ascended the throne, Chen Ying!
