Sitting in the second hall of the military governor's mansion after the march, looking at the mountains of official documents, Meng was speechless.

Xing rushed to see Grandpa Guo, but he pounced.

The border army urgently reported that Xuanfu and Kaiping found a small force of Tartar cavalry in the key place, Shen Xuan led the troops to inspect the border fortress, he just left the day before yesterday and will not come back in a short time.

Dingguo Gong was not there, and Yuan Rong, the Marquis of Guangping, once again picked up the work of the two of them, and they ate and lived in the Yamen. Princess Yong'an can't help no matter how dissatisfied she is, her father is far away in Nanjing, and she can't cry if she wants to, so she writes a letter to complain, and her father can't open her favor, so she can only resign herself to fate.

The king of Han and the king of Zhao were sealed in the north, and the palace was built, the palace was selected, the palace was guarded, the officials and subordinates of the palace were placed, and the grain and grass were allocated, all of which had to go through the Beijing line and the military governor's mansion.

There are too many things, not only Yuan Rong is at risk of dying from overwork, but after the march, the military capital governor's mansion is also rotating day and night, and it is a luxury to be able to sleep for two hours a day.

Yuan Rong was very suspicious that Dingguo Gong was troublesome and slipped away in the name of inspecting the side stoppers. Otherwise, the Xuanfu general army and the deputy general army are all heroes of Jingnan, the force value is extraordinary, and the commander of Kaipingwei is also a fierce general on the battlefield, and he has been in battle for a long time, but he is just a few wandering Tartar rangers, who need to be guarded by Beijing, and the military governor of the palace will personally go out after the march?

With two black circles under his eyes, Yuan Rong grinded his teeth while flipping through official documents, and a black cloud shrouded his head, which could flash and thunder at any time.

After paying a polite visit to Yuan Rong, Meng planned to leave immediately.

Shen Xuan is not here, continue to stay here, there is a risk of being arrested at any time, it is better to return to Daning as soon as possible.

Moreover, according to Shen Xuan's character, he will never shirk responsibility under the pretext of military affairs. It is by no means as simple as a few Tartar rangers to be able to push away his official duties and lead his troops to the border.

Thinking of this, Meng couldn't sit still anymore.

Daning is also a key border defense, even if there is a rebuilt Duoyan Sanwei, it still can't be completely reassured. Foreign aid is foreign aid after all, and in the event of a large-scale Tatar attack, no one dares to guarantee whether Uliangha will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The emperor was not in the north, and there were not many generals who could intimidate these Mongol cavalry. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui can play a certain role, but Meng does not dare to take risks. If there is a mistake between the two, the border guards will be questioned.

Shen Xuan Bacheng also thought of this, so he left his official duties and personally led his troops to Kaipingwei.

With him, even if the Tatars would come, Uliangha would not dare to move lightly.

The name of killing gods is not in vain.

The mind is spinning, and the beautiful mind is thrown away. If the Tartars do come, they must be prepared in advance.

The city, the bunkers, the lookout piers, the newly cast city fire cannons, and the newly tuned border army must be redone.

"There is still something important to do in the humble position, so I will leave here!"

Meng turned around and wanted to leave, but Yuan Rong grabbed his shoulders from behind.

Turning his head, Yuan Yuma's expression was very sad.

Meng shuddered, he couldn't be soft-hearted, he couldn't be resolute! Daning still has a bunch of things waiting for him, and if he is left behind, more than ninety percent of them may be buried in the official document and can't get out.

"Can't Xingningbo stay and help?"

"There is really something important to do, and I ask the Marquis of Guangping to forgive me."

Perhaps it was because Yuan Juma's expression was too pitiful, Meng rolled his eyes, picked up the pen, spread out the paper, and wrote down a few suggestions to speed up work efficiency and reduce the burden on Yuan Juma by the way.

Subsequently, the news that the Son of Heaven was about to send a fleet to the East Ocean was revealed. If Yuan is interested, you can go to the table, please send someone to accompany the ship, go to the Oriental countries to see the terroir, people, and feelings, and bring back some local specialties by the way, and you can make a fortune by changing hands.

As Yuan Rong's horse captain, presumably the Son of Heaven will be happy to make it convenient.

If the Son of Heaven does not approve it, it will be fine. The imperial court built sea ships, and Yuan Rong once contributed in his real name, all of which were recorded in Zhu Di's booklet. If the fleet gains something in the East, it can also divide the money according to the proportion of capital contribution. Of course, the income must not have been as much as that of the entourage.

"Is Xingningbo's words serious?"

"Will you deceive the Hou Ye?"

Yuan Rong's eyes lit up when he said this, and he instantly forgot the official documents piled on the table.

Half an hour later, Meng walked out of the military governor's mansion after marching, let out a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and finally managed to get out.

He is the guard of Daning, but he is also the same as the governor of the military capital, Yuan Rong is his boss, if Yuan Rong refuses to let go, there is really no good way.

Should we be glad that wealth is moving?

Meng shook his head, took the reins from the guards, and jumped onto the horse.

I wanted to go back to Mengjiatun on time, but now it seems that it can't be done.

"Gao Fu."

"Humble duty."

"You take a team of people and send these truckloads of grain, spices, and cloth back to Mengjiatun. This box of treasure money was delivered to my house, along with this letter. ”

"Yes."

"I'll take someone back to Daning, and you can catch up later."

"Commanded by humility."

Gao Fu pointed out the soldiers who were going to Mengjiatun, put on the carriage and left.

Ma Qianhu stepped forward and whispered a few words to Meng, Meng nodded, "I know that you and Gao Fu are doing the right thing in this matter." ”

It turned out that during the conversation between Meng and Yuan Rong, the liuguan who accompanied him left one after another, and some people thanked Xingningbo for helping him all the way and left a thank-you gift.

From the perspective of human affection, it is not impossible to accept these thank-you gifts. But considering the brocade guards of the peers, it is better to be cautious.

Xu Liuguan walked together, made it convenient for each other, and no one could do anything. Accepting the other party's thank you gift and falling in the eyes of those who care about it is not the case at all.

Pinched the whip, Meng gritted his teeth, in order not to be honest, he even waived the fare, is it easy for him to be so honest and honest?

After Meng left, Yuan Rong immediately summoned the military governor's mansion after the march, and according to the suggestions left by Meng, rearranged the work, special personnel, and all the affairs, documents, and small officials in the department were all assigned in place, and there would be no unclear division of labor and a chaotic situation.

Yuan Rong specially ordered one metropolitan affairs and two clerks to sort official documents, classify them according to the items listed, deal with urgent items first, and extract the main content and paste the strips on the rest, which is even more clear at a glance.

After two days of trial work, the work efficiency was greatly improved, and Yuan Rong took the time to go home to have dinner with Princess Yong'an, and told the princess about the trip to the East that Meng had told him.

After hearing this, Princess Yong'an's eyes also lit up, and she couldn't help but praise, "I didn't think it at first, but now I look at it again, Xingning Bo is really a kind person." “

Being able to get the praise of Princess Yong'an should be an unexpected joy for Meng.

As the eldest daughter of Emperor Yongle and Empress Xu, Princess Yong'an's status in the royal family is extraordinary. It's not easy to get her good.

Since Yuan Rong will no longer be busy walking and fluttering, and there is a risk of dying from overwork, Princess Yong'an will naturally no longer complain to her father about Shen Xuan's passive sabotage.

After not receiving a letter from his eldest daughter for several days, Emperor Yongle still felt strange, and waited for Jinyiwei's secret report and Yuan Rong's Shangshu to arrive, and then suddenly realized.

stroked the short mustache on his chin and nodded approvingly, in the end, he was the apprentice of the great monk.

However, this matter cannot be rewarded, so it will be written down for the time being and will be rewarded later.

Following Yuan Rong, the king of Zhou, there is another acting king, King An, please send someone to the East with the ship.

Emperor Yongle approved all of them, but the fare was also increased from 30% to 40%. Even so, there are more and more expressions sent to the Son of Heaven. When he saw Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou's sparseness, Zhu Di was in a good mood, moved to Kunning Palace, and saw Zhu Gaochi and Concubine Zhang who invited An, and immediately praised King Ping and Princess Heping for their benevolence and filial piety.

Zhu Gaochi was flattered, and his face was red.

Zhu Di softened his heart and patted his eldest son's back, "Gao Chi seems to have lost some weight." ”

With a warm word, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red, and the almost rigid father-son relationship finally showed signs of breaking the ice.

As long as Zhu Di's scales are not touched, and no courtiers jump out and shout at the crown prince for three days, Zhu Di is still good to Zhu Gaochi.

Concubine Zhang also seemed to have learned a lesson, behaved gently and respectfully, and could also say a few laughs when she met Princess Han and Princess Xu who stayed in Beijing.

The internal harmony of the Heavenly Family, everything is in order, and Zhu Di rarely has a good mood.

But with the advent of August, several heavy rains fell in Nanjing, and the turmoil in the DPRK and China broke out again, and Zhu Di's good mood also came to an end.

Some courtiers revealed that Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, was hiding outlaws in the palace and plotting against him.

The evidence is conclusive, and for a while, Li Jinglong has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, impeached Li Jinglong for harboring evil intentions, not observing the minister's festival, and begging Jinglong to be brought to justice.

Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Six Metropolitan Procuratorates impeached Li Jinglong for plotting treachery and misdeeds. At the same time, the governor Li Zengzhi was impeached, knowing that his brother Li Jinglong had traces of disobedience, but he did not say a word to persuade him, and he should be punished together.

Emperor Yongle never gave a clear answer, and he always said that I knew it. Either that, I'll do it.

The courtiers made a lot of trouble, and Zhu Di only ordered Li Jinglong to be reprimanded, and asked him to send Jiang Ayan and others hidden in the mansion to Yousi for investigation. Li Jinglong himself did not take a salary cut or demotion, and still worked every day.

Zhu Di knows Li Jinglong too well, and he has the courage to give him a lot of courage, and he is not a material for rebellion.

As for hiding the murderers, twenty-eight people, what can they do?

Because of Sheng Yong's death, many of the former ministers of Jianwen in the court are unstable, and if Li Jinglong is dealt with harshly, I am afraid that there will be a lot of chaos.

Zhu Di wanted to make a big thing a small one, even if he scolded him, but the courtiers were unwilling.

Li Jinglong was unlucky, because Meng and Shen Xuan joined forces to suppress the accumulated anger and resentment, once it exploded, they all sprayed towards Li Jinglong.

The six Shangshu, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration, the Dali Temple, and the Six Departments jointly impeached Li Jinglong for lawlessness.

Meng Neng got out safely, first, because the impeachment of him was untenable, second, Shen Xuan came back to protect him, and third, Chen Ying and others annoyed the Son of Heaven and attracted the wrath of thunder.

Li Jinglong was unlucky, he was unlucky, there were indeed outlaws hiding in his house, and no one spoke for him, and his family was still pulling back, and even setting up a farm and having too many tenants were exposed as crimes.

It stands to reason that with Li Jinglong's title and the inheritance of Li Wenzhong's property, the number of farms in his hands is excessive, but he will never be convicted. For example, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and Xu Zengshou, the Marquis of Wuyang, also have a lot of fields in their hands.

When there are more fields, more people are needed to cultivate them, and there are naturally more tenants.

It can only be said that Li Jinglong was too unsuccessful in his life, and he happened to hit the gun-muzzle-, and became the punching bag of the Chinese courtiers.

Emperor Yongle couldn't, so he could only issue another edict, scolding Li Jinglong, and returning his Zhuangtian to the country, taking off the honorary title of prince and prince, and ordering him to think about it behind closed doors and not to go to court.

This time, Li Jinglong did not go on a hunger strike again, but thanked the emperor for his grace and went home honestly. Behind closed doors, whether he was seriously reflecting or flipping the table and scolding X, only he knew what he said.

defeated Li Jinglong, and the high-morale Wenchen had another target, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi.

This time, it hit the iron plate.

Qiu Fu is not as good as Zhu Neng, but he is also a real first-class meritorious hero, and it is impossible to follow Li Jinglong's precedent to bring him down.

Whoever rises first, dies first. There is no need for Qiu Fu to cry, Emperor Yongle extinguished the rafters first.

Before, Wenchen impeached Li Jinglong, but Emperor Yongle didn't think much about it, and as soon as the impeachment of Qiu Fu was announced, Zhu Di immediately found out that something was wrong.

He found that the target of the ministers was not Li Jinglong at all, but a military general, a martyr!

Zhu Di failed to completely suppress the courtiers' superiors and disposed of Li Jinglong.

If Qiu Fu is disposed of again, who will be next?

Zhu Neng, Zheng Heng, Zhang Fu, or Shen Xuan?

Faintly, Zhu Di noticed that there was a force secretly pushing the development of the whole situation, if he was not vigilant, let the people with intentions continue to make waves behind him, and things might get out of control.

This is by no means alarmist.

Zhu Di started with martial arts, if he allowed Wenchen to suppress the generals and separated from the generals, the throne would be unstable.

Governing the country requires civil servants, balancing the court, and not allowing military generals to dominate.

However, using literature to order martial arts is by no means what Zhu Di wants to see.

The lesson of the former Song Dynasty is not far away!

Moreover, Wenchen's tandem and his actions against the heroes of the Jingyan made Zhu Di think of a person, a person who should have died a long time ago.

His face instantly became gloomy.

"Someone, Xuan Yang Duo!"

In August of the second year of Yongle, Jin Yiwei commanded Yang Duo to enter the palace to meet him.

The next day, Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si set out.

In the capital, inconspicuous scribes were successively taken to be questioned by the Zhenfu Division, and officials from the six departments and six departments received driver's posts one after another, and soon they were invited to visit the Imperial Prison.

The men outside the capital were ordered to strictly investigate the every move of the vassal kings, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would report it immediately.

The return date of King Ning and King Zhou in Beijing has been postponed indefinitely, and the two of them dare not complain in the slightest, the atmosphere in Beijing has already made them realize that something is wrong, at this time, the more low-key the better.

In the newspapers of the imperial court, news of officials being deprived of their posts and imprisoned appeared one after another.

Meng, who was far away in Daning, also smelled a hint of wind and rain on his forehead.

Could it be that something is going to happen to the DPRK again?

Meng couldn't be sure, and after thinking about it, he wrote a long letter to Dao Yan in the capital. After the letter was sent, Meng put more experience into the city defense arrangement of the Daning Zhuwei.

The grain, cloth and other goods brought back were not included in the Daning warehouse, only a small part was kept for their own use, and the rest were sent to the Kaiyuan Mutual Market for trading with the Tatars, Uliangha and Jurchens.

Meng thought about leaving the food for the border army, but he later dismissed the idea.

As a guard of Daning, a member of the party, it is very inappropriate to do it this time, and there will be suspicions of buying people's hearts and plotting against him.

Sending the goods brought to Kaiyuan for trading is not intended to be a better way.

Part of the profits from the sale and purchase are taxed, not at a loss, and they have also made contributions to the imperial court.

As for the military rations, Meng is not worried, the boat division has already transported the military rations, Daning, Shuntian Bafu, Xuanfu and other places, as long as there is no accident, this year will be a bumper harvest, Gansu and other places have twice as much as last year, the chief military officer He Fu to the imperial court to present Jiahe, the king of Zhou to offer seedlings are all down.

What Meng had to do was to further consolidate the border defenses and send more outposts to guard against the Tatars who might move south at any time.

Warat and Tatar fought for more than half a year, occasionally winning, but they lost more and won less.

Both sides were busy fighting, there was no more economic development, and after the summer, the herd was not as fat and strong as in previous years, and the tribes began to lack food. Coupled with the fact that Uliangha was eyeing him and could pounce on him from behind at any time to knock on a stick, Ghost Lichi and Mahamu both had plans to temporarily cease fighting.

If Warat and Tatar are not fighting, the border of the Ming Dynasty will be in trouble.

The reason why Shen Xuan went to the border fortress in person should be to get the news that the Tartars are about to go south, the rangers are just outposts, and the Tartars have a large army, and it is likely that they will be in Koubian before the autumn harvest.

What about the ghost power to the Ming Dynasty?

As long as the warriors of the grassland are not completely beaten down, they should still be robbed.

"Remote border guards can gather strong men, strengthen bunkers, build high walls, and once a Tartar attacks, they can gather border people into high-walled bunkers to help the border army defend."

Meng came up with many methods, and after consulting with the top and bottom of the capital, he began to implement them in batches.

As September approached, he became busier and busier, and had little time to think about the wind and snow, and his mind was only about the frontier guards, the tuntian, and the Tartars who could be on the border at any time.

After a busy day, Meng left the Dusi Yamen exhausted and returned to his residence in the city, only to find that there was a team of strange knights in front of the door.

The guards in the palace who were called learned where the knight came from, and their eyes instantly widened.

Turned over and dismounted, threw the whip, strode through the front court, and saw the slender figure standing in the lobby with his hands in his hands, one of them didn't hold back, and hugged him directly.

At the same time, Zheng He, whose face was pale, finally left the hospital alive.

Carrying the new drug developed by Zhao Yuan, Gonggong Zheng touched his head, glanced behind him, and saw the two imperial doctors recruited from him, and his steps were like flying.

It seems that behind him is not a good doctor who saves the life and helps the wounded, but a brocade guard holding a leather whip and steel needle.

The great navigator of the future swears that unless he has to do so, he will never step into the hospital again!
