After the four drums, the brocade guard sounded the whip, the Son of Heaven crossed the royal road, Deng Dan Majesty, and the ministers worshipped.

Meng is in the right class, standing behind Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng, and bows down with the official voice of the ceremony.

In addition to civil and military, there are Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, and Zhu Panyan, the prince of Ning, who entered the court to pay homage.

It is conceivable that he will not be the protagonist today, even if it is, after the boycott.

During these days in the capital, Zhu Gaosui privately revealed a lot of "internal" news to Meng, including Zhu Di's attitude towards the clan. For example, King Zhou, the brother of the Son of Heaven, only the order of the Son of Heaven is obeyed, Zhu Di ordered, there is no two words, naturally Jane is in the emperor's heart, and they can intersect. Such as King Qi, King Gu, etc., it is best to stay away.

After seeing the greeting post handed by the right Changshi of the Qi Wangfu to the Xingning Bo Mansion, Zhu Gaosui reminded Meng that it was best to push it.

"Since Yongle for three years, Uncle Qi has not been reprimanded by his father. Xingningbo has been in Daning, I'm afraid I don't know, not long ago, my father was very angry in the inner court, and it was related to Uncle Qi. ”

Zhu Gaosui was vague, and Meng didn't ask deeply, it is best not to have too much curiosity about the affairs of the heavenly family. Even if he was given a national surname, he was also a supernumerary, so it was best to stay away as much as possible and protect himself.

He couldn't think of this, and Shen Xuan's mention in the letter was enough to make him understand what to do.

Regardless of whether the King of Qi really had a mistake or was framed, based on the few words leaked by Zhu Gaosui, Meng Neng deduced that the King of Qi, who had been imprisoned in Beijing during the Jianwen period and almost sat in prison, was afraid that he would be unlucky again.

The greeting post of the chief of the Qi Palace's mansion cannot be returned clearly, and it must be not seen.

Offending King Qi is a small matter, and at most he will be wearing small shoes a few times. If you inadvertently offend the Son of Heaven, the problem is big.

The Son of Heaven looks at someone unpleasantly, and climbs on the pole to make friends, this is not stupid, it is stupid and smoking.

Meng expected that he was right, at the beginning of the court meeting, there were courtiers who challenged the King of Qi, and their words were as sharp as a blade, and the prince of Qin and King Ning, who were standing with the King of Qi, subconsciously retreated half a step, obviously unwilling to cause trouble.

"Your Majesty, the king of Qi has committed many lawlessness in the domain, greed-violence-success-sex, private-set-punishment-prison, scoundrels, gluttony, the private emperor is evil, and for the curse-curse-nightmare-town-etc., there is empirical evidence for the investigation, and the crime is unforgivable, please cure the crime of the king of Qi!"

Zhu Di looked at King Qi with a heavy face on his face, and it was obvious that several edicts before, and even sealed King Zhou's upper table and sent it to King Qi, so that he could follow suit and learn from it, and seriously correct it, but it had no effect. The king of Qi is still the same, and this time he entered the court to ask for sin, and it may not be sincere.

King Qi is not a fool, he has experienced the disaster of imprisonment during the Jianwen period, and he knows better than anyone that entering Beijing this time may be more auspicious. But he still came, with a hint of luck, hoping that the Son of Heaven would take it lightly for the sake of his brother's affection.

The Son of Heaven ascended the throne under the banner of restoring the Tai-Zu-Gao Emperor's law, and lifted up the princely clan who had been defeated and degraded by Emperor Jianwen one by one, in order to let the world see that the grandson disregarded family affection, was ruthless, violated Emperor Gao's will, and attacked his uncle, and the cavalry rebellion was a helpless move, and it was justice to rob his nephew of the throne.

It's only been four years now, and the mouth of Youyou is still not flat, so you have to do the opposite?

Zhu Yu understands Zhu Di, once the other party makes up his mind, he will never give up easily. He can't even bear Zhu Yunwen, how can he have the confidence to confront Zhu Di?

Looking at the two nephews standing on the side, King Qi regretted it very much. At the beginning, he should not hesitate, he should learn from the King of Jin and the King of Qin, and take the initiative to ask for the reduction of the palace guards, or learn from the King of Ninggu and ask the Son of Heaven to change places for him.

It's too late to regret it now.

The Son of Heaven will definitely punish him, the question is whether he will raise a machete or a stick.

Knock on the stuffy stick, and there is hope for recovery.

The knife fell, and the head fell to the ground ten out of ten.

Zhu Yunwen was ruthless to the vassal king, and Zhu Di was more ruthless than his nephew.

The king of Qi didn't dare to shout injustice to Zhu Di, but he had an idea, his beard was open, he angrily looked at the official who impeached him, and shouted: "The traitor wants to slander the Son of Heaven again, and kill me when he serves the grandson?!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Meng Leg stood a little sore, and moved cautiously under the cover of the court clothes, and suddenly heard King Qi's words, and couldn't help but glance at him.

In the end, it is the son of Emperor Hongwu and the brother of Emperor Yongle, and the emperor clearly wants to clean him up, but he can still see the stitches and find a life.

With the impeachment of King Qi, the curse-curse-nightmare-town can kill his family.

King Ning was also impeached, and he was pushed to the official subordinates to escape the catastrophe, but he also lost the hearts of the people, so he could only send love and books, and he didn't even touch the knife and gun anymore.

King Qi may not have the luck of King Ning, but when the palace shouted this sentence, he also won a way out for himself. Even if Zhu Di is determined to deal with him, he must think twice about how to stop the mouths of people in the world.

Where the couch is recessed, there is no room for others to snore.

The Son of Heaven cut the feudal domain for the purpose of centralizing power.

Emperor Jianwen did it, but it didn't work, because he was too anxious and despised the strength of his uncles.

Zhu Di wanted to centralize power, and the primary target was the army and guards in the hands of the vassal king. He relied on Yan Shanwei and the border army to build - success - success, and never wanted those who came after him to follow suit.

picked and chosen, and King Qi became the first unlucky egg.

However, the unlucky guy was clearly smarter than he expected.

Want to follow the grandson?

Killing Zhu Di can't admit it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to raise the banner and restore the emperor's law, which will become an outright joke. But the matter has come to this point, and the arrow has to be sent on the string, and the king of Qi cannot be abolished immediately, but also the officials and subordinates of the palace must be removed and the guards of the king of Qi must be removed.

The king of Qi kept his head and temporarily kept the throne, and was only imprisoned in Nanjing, and he will be decided later. The officials and subordinates of the king of Qi, Changshi and the master of ceremonies, who accompanied him into Beijing, were all dismissed, and those who were guilty of the crime were conclusively punished, and those who did not do evil were put in a brocade prison.

"The imperial decree of Shandong is to command the envoys, according to the inspection of the envoys, the political envoys, the two guards on the left in the center of Geqingzhou, except for the officials of the king of Qi. Those who were convicted were escorted to Beijing. The officers and lieutenants of the guards were assigned to the nearby guard stations, and all those detained by the royal palace were acquitted. In the private manufacturing office, the person in charge is detained, and the craftsmen under him make a register, check the household registration, or return to the original place, or choose a skilled hand to fill the Beijing Military Bureau. ”

"The ministers obey."

Hearing that the craftsmen under King Qi were going to be enriched with the Beijing War Bureau, Meng was very greedy.

Daning is currently short of people, and the reason for this is that both the emperor and the emperor's son are responsible. As long as the dignitaries don't fill the vacancies, who can bear it?

The craftsmen collected by King Qi are definitely not ordinary, and there is no shortage of people in the Beijing Military Bureau, can the extra places be given to Daning?

It's really not good, exchange it for food?

Even though his eyes were hot, he knew that these words could not be used as an exit of the temple. I can only secretly think about whether someone from the emperor's hands will come, maybe I can move around with Bai Gonggong, or I will ask King Zhao of Han to help.

Shen Xuan doesn't have to think about it, according to Zhu Gaosui's words, he will soon enter Beijing. Wei Guogong was only in charge of training, and he would not interfere in the affairs of the military bureau and craftsmen at all. It is indeed not difficult for Father-in-law Bai to speak, but it may not be so easy to poach people from him, and this matter still needs to be carefully planned.

Meng was planning to dig into the corners of the military battle bureau while continuing to play soy sauce in the imperial court.

Xinchenghou is tall and mighty enough to stand behind him, quite suitable for slipping.

The Son of Heaven sent down the King of Qi, and the King of Qin and the Prince of Ning all agreed and broke out in a cold sweat.

Knowing that the emperor didn't plan to take care of himself, he still couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

Several Jinyi guards and Han generals had already entered the palace and "invited" the king of Qi out.

Meng looked sideways and saw that Yang Duo was in it.

King Qi was handled, and the role played by Jinyiwei must be not small.

In the Fengtian Palace, from the ministers of the court to the prince of the clan, the sight that fell on Yang Duo was more or less unkind.

Yang Duo seemed to be unconscious, saluted the Son of Heaven, and then withdrew from the hall. Only glanced at the front right when leaving, and following his gaze, Meng couldn't help but be stunned, he was looking at the prince of King Ning, Zhu Panyan.

The footsteps of Jin Yiwei disappeared, and Meng retracted his gaze.

Jinyiwei is a sharp blade in the hands of the Son of Heaven, no matter where it is cut, it is the will of the Son of Heaven. If you shouldn't know, even if you see it with your own eyes, you have to pretend to be confused.

Although he can't be an old fritter in officialdom, he is not stupid, and he still has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Thinking of Yang Duo standing in front of Fengtian Gate, like a statue, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, time is really the most terrible thing in the world.

Kaipingwei, Dezhou City, the flames of war, the smoke of gunpowder, and the generals who shed blood on the battlefield are like a world away.

pulled the corners of his mouth, why hasn't he changed? Seven years ago, he would never have made such an emotion.

After the king of Qi, some courtiers asked for the dispatch of troops to Annan, and the generals who had been silent before suddenly became energetic.

"The crime of Annan Li thief is extremely heinous, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

Wang Yuan, a new section scholar who had just been promoted to the military department, made a generous statement, enumerating the crimes of Annan, and Li Jing, who was also in the military department, checked and filled in the gaps, stripped off the skin of the Hu king, and directly called Li Shi contemptuous.

What is the king of the Hu family, who is clearly a relative of the Chen family, a son-in-law, and a rebel thief!

The courtiers selectively ignored the fact that Emperor Yongle gave the Hu family the golden seal, and said one after another that the Hu family usurped the throne and must be severely punished.

"Zarre clown, dare to lurk treacherously, slaughter the Chen family, and harm my envoys. The poison is so heinous, the crime is monstrous! If you don't punish this thief, what is the use of soldiers! ”

Jin Chun, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, went to the next level and directly wanted to completely shoot Annan to death.

Hu killed Chen Tianping, there was still room for relaxation, and he should not have clashed with the Ming army that sent Chen Tianping back to China, and even detained the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

Its original intention was probably to keep a hostage, multiple bargaining chips, and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. Xue Yun, the secretary of Dali Temple who did not want to be ordered to escort the Chen family back to China, had a strong personality and did not want to be humiliated, so he committed suicide in the chaos.

The blood is drained, and I can't save it even if I want to.

As soon as Xue Yun died, Annan's internal political issue immediately escalated into an international-international dispute, which was directly related to the face and prestige of the Ming Dynasty!

Before the incident, many courtiers did not approve of sending troops to Annam, and the expedition cost the people and money, and the household department had just been comfortable for a few days, and once they started with Annam, the grain and copper coins would definitely disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Headed by Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, the six ministers urged the emperor to think twice.

The north has no stop, and the south has to start again, and we can't just throw money into the hole of war, and we must give more consideration to the issue of national construction.

When the news of Xue Yun's death came, the court suddenly exploded, and the main and faction all became the main and battle factions, and the centrists became the radical and progressive factions.

Emperor Yongle turned over the music, pinched his forehead, and stopped engaging in national construction?

The sixth ministry said that construction must be carried out, and the battle must be fought!

Emperor Yongle asked again, where does the money and grain come from?

Six parts said in unison: Hubu out! If the household is not enough, you can eat locally.

This locality is by no means the territory of Daming, but Annam.

Emperor Yongle was speechless.

To some extent, civilian officials are more ruthless and less sophisticated than military officials.

Etiquette and morality, to convince people?

Words are spoken by men, and if necessary, it is entirely possible to interpret the doctrine of the saints in a different way.

The ministers were fierce and determined to attack Annam, and they hated to go into battle in person, and they were more active than the generals.

In the end, Emperor Yongle was "persuaded" by the courtiers.

"The sin of the traitor is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and I will raise the teacher to crusade against it to show the power of heaven!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers bowed, and Meng bowed, shouting long live. He suddenly felt that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were indeed remarkable, and it was no wonder that they would leave a "great reputation" in history. The Yongle Emperor who can trend these fierce people is even more remarkable, and he can completely publish a book, with the title of the book "Emperor-King-Thick-Black-Learning".

When His Royal Highness ordered Emperor Yongle to send troops to Annam, he ordered the six ministries to draw up a charter, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to cast the seal of General Zhengyi and Deputy General Zhengyi.

The ministers received the order, had nothing important, and retreated.

Meng didn't rush to leave, stayed at the end of the line, and sure enough, he waited for the internal official Hou Xian.

"The Son of Heaven issued an edict, summoned Cheng Guogong, the Marquis of Xincheng, and Xingningbo accompanied him by the right door."

Meng pinched the written note and followed Hou Xian's footsteps.

The right shun door is a house-style gate, with red pillars and big wood, covered with glazed tiles, and the walls on both sides are fanned, and there are guards on duty.

Hou Xian asked the three of them to wait for a while, then turned around and left in a hurry. After half a cup of tea, Emperor Yongle, who had changed his regular clothes, appeared.

Winged good crown, pan-necked narrow-sleeved robe, front and back and shoulders each woven gold dragon, waist jade belt, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a body - overlord - the air of the person.

Compared with the court, Emperor Yongle's mood seems to be much better.

"Meet Your Majesty."

The three of them bowed, and Zhu Di raised his hand, "Excuse me." ”

Hou Xian led the inner servants to retreat, and Emperor Yongle stood under the eaves, with one hand behind his back, and said: "I summoned Qing and others to come to ask about the strategy of sending troops. Annan Lai's crime was so heinous that I decided to fight against it. The successive dynasties sent troops to the south and divided into two routes, one from Guangxi and the other from Yunnan. "That's it, Zhu Di paused, "Shihong." ”

Zhu Neng took half a step forward, "The minister is here." ”

"If Lingqing's generals enter from Guangxi, and the Pinghou of Yixi enters from Yunnan, how much should he use as a division?"

Translated, if I want to destroy Annan, how many officers and soldiers should be recruited from two directions?

Zhu Neng said: "The crimes of the Annan Li clan are monstrous, I am the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, cut down to the unkind, and the ministers will support Tianwei, and they should be swept away with a drum." The number of teachers is only the order of the above. ”

Your Majesty wants to destroy Annan, and he is playing the banner of benevolence and righteousness, and he must make a big move in order to show his majesty. Please ask Your Majesty to determine the number of troops.

In short, there must be no less troops, and less momentum is not enough.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time and turned to Zhang Fu, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Fu clenched his fists: "The ministers are attached to the proposal of the Duke of the Kingdom." "According to the tone of the Son of Heaven, the two armies sent troops to Annan, and the main generals will be Xiping Marquis and Chengguo Gong, he is at most a deputy general, Chengguo Gong's military level is first-class, and he is right to listen to him.

Zhu Di bowed his head and asked Meng again, "What do you want to do about sending troops this time?" ”

Meng blinked and asked him?

In the battle of Jingnan, he has a certain understanding, and Annan is really unfamiliar with it. In addition to the fact that the people of the Central Plains are easy to adapt to the water and soil when they go there, they need to prepare medicinal materials, and they must be careful of fierce beasts such as elephants and rhinoceros, and they really don't dare to make ideas.

"Your Majesty, the minister only knows that there is miasma in the southwest, and the army should call more doctors and prepare a sufficient amount of medicinal materials. Ordnance, especially firearms, need to be taken care of in case of rain and moisture, and cannot be used in wartime. ”

"Good." Emperor Yongle said, "What Qing said is very good. ”

The emperor opened his mouth to praise, and Zhu Di and Zhang Fu immediately echoed.

Meng was a little dizzy, and when he was fluttering, he pinched his thigh, no, he had to be sober! With the character of Emperor Yongle, will he boast in vain? There must be a trick!

Sure enough, as soon as the good word fell, the words changed, "I Wenqing-Drill-Practice-The firearms team is brave, and you can be ten, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does have a firearms team in his hands, but he doesn't dare to be one for ten."

"Can you be in Beijing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, here."

"Okay." Emperor Yongle clapped his palm, "The Han King's artillery and firearms are all from Daning, and I am very happy, but although there are many people in the army, the method of drill-practice is rare." ”

The words fell, with a smile on his face, looking at Meng.

I've said all the words, don't you mean it?

Meng gritted his teeth and swallowed a mouthful of old blood, he knew!

"If Your Majesty does not give up, the minister is willing to lead the firearms team to drill and exercise, please take a look."

"Okay, Xingning Boguo is the pillar of the country."

"Your Majesty, the firearms team is temporarily stationed outside the city, and the minister should send someone to order it to come."

"No, since it is a firearm, it should be in the suburbs-drill-practice, and I can go to the suburbs with Qingqing."

"Your Majesty......"

Meng wanted to persuade him, it was not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, and it was another trouble for people to know that it was related to him.

"Hou Xian, send someone to pass the decree and summon King Ping, King Zhao, Marquis of Wuyang and others to the camp of the Daning border army."

"The slave obeys."

Hou Xian was ordered to leave, and Meng knew that there was no room for turning around, so he could only go to the suburbs to clear the soldiers and clean up the site.

"Yes."

Zhu Di waved his hand and was ready.

Meng thanked him, got up, left the emperor's sight, and ran all the way.

After today, more than ninety percent of these 50 people in their hands, including artillery and sabers, may have to be handed over to the public.

Before he came, he had expected ...... Grit your teeth, everything is for Daming!

Even if he comforted himself so much, went out of the palace gate, rode on a horse, and faced the afternoon sun, he still couldn't help but feel sad and tearful.

Yang Duo, who left the palace together, saw this scene, Rao is heart was as hard as iron, his face was as cold as ice, and he still twitched the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.

Xingningbo is really a good general of the country, not ...... Ordinary people.
