Chapter 111
After returning to the palace, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui bathed and changed their clothes, and asked to see their father with Shen Xuan's redrafted recital.
Shen Xuan only invited the king of Gaoyang County, but when Zhu Gaosui learned of the situation, he also insisted on intervening, and even the Marquis of Wuyang, who came to the house to eat, said that he must help if he needs help.
"Uncle is responsible for my nephew!"
Xu Zengshou can say it with a big grin, but Shen Xuan can't respond easily.
What's more, Xu Zengshou and Meng call him brothers, but they call him nephew? Obviously the age is wrong.
The consequence of saying the wrong thing was that the Marquis of Wuyang could not eat, but was kicked out of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion. You are still not allowed to enter when you knock on the door, and you will be pushed back when you enter.
As a result, a scene was staged that made Emperor Yongle slap his thigh, but made Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, want to go crazy.
After Xu Zengshou made such a fuss, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's visit to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was successfully covered up. Except for a few people with a keen sense of smell, most of the people who talked about Chinese Wujin were the scene where Wuyang Hou slapped the door in front of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to call his nephew.
After laughing, many people also began to think about it, since he sat on the dragon chair today, Wuyang Hou seemed to be acting more and more out of tune, which was very incomprehensible.
said that he was unscrupulous with his status as a national relative? But they really didn't make any big mistakes. In addition to the hobby of going to weathered places to observe the people's feelings, I really can't find a bigger problem.
The head was hit by a stone and suddenly became sluggish? It doesn't make sense.
A really dull person will be frequently praised by the emperor and rewarded by the palace? Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been promoted, knighted, and rewarded, which time has he fallen?
For the sake of the queen and the three princes? It's possible.
Empress Xu was virtuous and often persuaded the Son of Heaven to treat Hongwu's former ministers well. Although he did not interfere in the government, he took pity on the people and asked the Son of Heaven and the people to recuperate. Finding fault with Queen Xu? The first will be drowned by the spittle of the people.
The empress is benevolent and virtuous, and she is one of the few who can persuade the emperor to put down the butcher's knife, just like Empress Ma of Emperor Tai-Zugao.
Zhu Di's three sons who grew up were all born by Queen Xu, and when he participated in Queen Xu, he definitely had nothing to do, he was tired of living crookedly, and he had to be slapped to death!
There are people who pick on Zhu Gaochi's brothers, especially Zhu Gaochu, who will be arrogant and arrogant every once in a while.
There were many times, and Zhu Di didn't take a position in the court, and after going to court, he directly picked up the whip and whipped his son.
The three of them are pumped together, and they are really beaten.
The emperor has a clear attitude and resolutely does not engage in differential treatment,
It didn't work to move the rescuers, the queen came, and after understanding the situation, she would only let the three brothers be beaten more.
Imperial Doctor Zhao, who re-entered the Tai Hospital, was very artistic, and Empress Xu's health improved significantly, which can be seen from the strength of her whip.
After a few times, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu Zhu Gaosui were much more honest, and it was not good for someone to participate in the brothers, so they were definitely the first to jump out and oppose it.
The prince is scheming and befriending courtiers? False! This is a humble corporal with a large number of courtesy!
The king of Gaoyang is arrogant? Big mistake! This is a resolute and straightforward martial artist style!
Zhu Gaosui is willful? Nonsense! That's smart, clever, innocent!
The courtiers are a little stupid, Zhu Di is very relieved, filial piety comes out under the stick, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive.
Some people are sloppy, thinking that the emperor has gone too far by pumping his son at every turn.
Zhu Di's eyebrows raised, this is my family matter.
He beats his son, what does it matter to others? Salty radish is not worried.
Besides, if there is no recital on the desk, saying that his son is not good or bad, will he whip him?
The ministers didn't dare to think casually. Otherwise, even if you are optimistic about the person who is made the prince, you may not miss your own love. What if you are idle and have nothing to do, and you remember that on a certain day in a certain year, a certain minister, Shangshu impeached his brother, causing him to be beaten together, and he was angry and ready to make up for it?
The ministers figured it out, and Zhu Di's ears suddenly became a lot clearer.
Zhu Gaochi continued to study behind closed doors, and he was also honest and honest in the court hearing, and his father didn't ask, and he never said a word. There are many fewer small actions in private, except for the officials of the Zhan Mansion, they will never follow the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there is no correspondence.
Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui went to his uncle's house every once in a while, devoting himself to studying the "art of war".
Empress Xu drank the medicine of Imperial Doctor Zhao to maintain her health, Zhu Di handled state affairs with peace of mind, and the first family of the Ming Dynasty entered a period of relative "peace".
It is said that beating his son was the idea of the eminent monk Daoyan to the emperor.
When the news broke, Master Dao Yan was almost poked into a sieve by the angry gaze of the courtiers.
What is the truth?
Dao Yan twisted the Buddha beads, pronounced a Buddha name, and the poor monk of the black pot carried it, shouldn't the apprentice show a little?
Meng Yan laughed twice, grateful to grateful, bad sects or something, still resolutely can't enter.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di was dressed in bright yellow clothes and sat behind the imperial case.
The two brothers stood in front of their father, both of them were handsome young men in red gold weaving dragon clothes, jade belts and black yarns, long eyebrows and sideburns, and resolute silhouettes.
can't complain that Zhu Di likes Zhu Gaochu more than Zhu Gaochi, even if the width is reduced, Zhu Gaochi's literati spirit is still more than that of a martial artist, and being a father naturally prefers to be like his own children, even if it is an emperor.
Big fat grandson or something, that's going to be the next generation.
Zhu Di doesn't like incense, and the eunuch palace people understand the habits of the Son of Heaven, and never order overly flavorful spices in the Qianqing Palace. Up and down, the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi are on par with their father, and they rarely use spices.
At this time, the brothers standing in front of Zhu Di were all refreshed, except for the jade pendant and gold medal hanging from their waists, there was nothing else.
Flipping through the notes presented by Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di first glanced at ten lines, then the speed became slower and slower, and later, almost word by word was engraved into his mind.
appeased Duoyan Sanwei, further provoked contradictions within the grassland, stabilized the border defense, opened mutual markets, and entered the desert with caravans to spy on news......
One by one, one by one, all of them fit his mind.
After seeing the most ugly, Zhu Di slapped the table case.
"Good!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up at the same time. Seeing this note in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he was more than fifty percent sure that it would make his father Emperor Long Yan happy.
Now, it seems that it was right.
watched the note from beginning to end again, Zhu Di held the short mustache under his chin and looked at his two sons, "Xuan'er invited you over, just for this note?" ”
"Father is wise."
"The handwriting is Xuan'er's, who came up with the idea?"
Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui glanced at each other, and Zhu Gaochu spoke: "Father, it is Xingningbo and Dingyuan Marquis who think together. After a pause, he added embarrassedly, "Erchen and the third brother also added something, and so did Wuyang Hou." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Di was interested, "Which place?" ”
"Returning to my father is to consolidate the border defense ......"
What Zhu Gaoxu said was true, and the consolidation of border defense was indeed mentioned by him and Zhu Gaosui.
was ordered to prepare for Kaiping, and Zhu Gaoxu naturally didn't want to disappoint Zhu Di. Frequent visits to the Wei Mansion, in addition to easing the relationship between his father and uncle, but also to discuss with Xu Huizu about training soldiers.
Xu Huizu once followed Xu Da to train troops in Beiping, was familiar with border affairs, and was a nephew who asked for advice, so he would definitely not hide his secrets.
Originally, Zhu Gaoxu also asked Cheng Guogong and other heroes for advice. After visiting the door many times, there was a hidden rumor in the court, and Zhu Gaoxu instantly woke up and realized that this move was inappropriate.
Xu Huizu is related to the royal family, so it is nothing to go to the Duke of Wei a few more times, and it is not so appropriate to run to the Duke of Chengguo all day long. Being targeted by an eventful person, it is another trouble to participate in front of his father.
Whether Xingningbo reminded him intentionally or unintentionally, he wrote down this feeling.
As for Meng's idea to let him be beaten...... Anyway, the prince didn't run away, so it's nothing.
has a bottom in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are both words. Although there were omissions, Zhu Di was still pleasantly surprised, and said yes again and again. The sound of laughter spread outside the hall, and the eunuchs guarding could feel the emperor's good mood.
"My son is very good."
Zhu Di asked if he was raised, and he wanted to summon Shen Xuanmeng into the palace.
Zheng He had to be bold enough to remind, "Your Majesty, it's past the unitary time, and the palace gate has been closed." ”
"Tomorrow, then. After the early dynasty, Xuanding Yuanhou and Xingning Boxi Nuan Pavilion met with each other. Gao Xue and Gao Sui came together. After a pause, Zhu Di remembered Empress Xu's previous persuasion, and his smile narrowed, "Call Gao Chi too." ”
Zheng He bent down, "The slave obeys." ”
Hearing Zhu Di mention the son, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's expressions did not change, but their eyes flashed unwillingly.
The idea was made by Xingningbo, and the song was written by the Marquis of Dingyuan, and it was they who presented it to his father, what happened to the son?
But the father had already made up his mind and couldn't say much, so Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui could only salute and withdraw from the Qianqing Palace with full unwillingness.
The two didn't know what to do, and after they left, Zhu Di opened the music again, wrote and corrected it personally, crossed out parts, and added a few. After the child, the Qianqing Palace was still brightly lit, and when it was ugly, Zhu Di went to bed.
Extinguishing the palace lights, Zheng He carefully retreated, remembering the "Qilin'er" and "Qianli Ju" that His Majesty said, and his heart moved slightly.
The next day, after the early dynasty, Meng was summoned to Xinuan Pavilion together with Shen Xuan.
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Zhu Di, who had changed into his court clothes, walked in from the side door of the warm pavilion, followed by the three Zhu Gaochi brothers.
To Meng's surprise, Xu Huizu also appeared in the Warm Pavilion, and after saluting, he was also given a seat by the emperor.
Although his face is still not good-looking, it is an indisputable fact that the relationship with the emperor has broken the ice.
But what happened overnight?
Xu Zengshou, who was dressed in a unicorn suit, winked at Meng, but when he heard his brother coughing, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and made a serious appearance. In this way, it is similar to Xu Huizu by five or six points.
Xu Zengshou didn't speak, and Meng's questions could only be suppressed.
But looking at Xu Zengshou's performance, could it be that he can still have something to do with himself?
Meng frowned, it's not that coincidental,
Zhu Di did not drag his feet, took out the corrected notes, and went straight to the point.
"Xingningbo, I have a lot of incomprehension about the mutual market."
Skipping Shen Xuan and being named directly, even if he had been prepared, Meng's heart still beat violently.
Emperor Tai-Zugao was not allowed to open a mutual market, but he proposed this article.
To say that you are not worried is absolutely false. But the emperor threw the matter of foreign aid asking for wages to him, and he would never do it himself because of a letter.
There was no turning back from the bow, and the song was sent up, no matter what, you can't back down.
Take a deep breath and relax.
After comforting himself, Meng steadily stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is tolerant, please open the mutual market, one is to order the tribe to belong to Mu Majesty's grace, and the other is to border ......."
Duo Yan San begged for salary, and the emperor's account must not be said on the surface, and Meng still has this awareness.
Therefore, speaking skills are very important.
It is not advisable to be flattering too much, and a proper pat on the dragon's ass is a must.
For the convenience of doing things, and by the way, brush up the favorability of the boss, why not?
“…… The minister thought that the remnant yuan had existed in name only. In today's desert, the strongest is the Tatar, followed by the Warat. In addition, Hongwu Nian attached to Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu Sanwei, again, the small tribes scattered in the desert, the former grassland cavalry, now have their own battles, and there are many contradictions......"
In addition to appeasing Duoyan Sanwei, in order to collect grassland intelligence, by the way, to provoke contradictions between tribes, it is convenient for Daming to sit firmly on the fishing-fish-platform, watching the Tatars and Warat pinch each other.
Attack from afar, win over one, and strike at the other.
Support the weak tribes, and beat the strong to death.
Twist into a rope and try to disassemble it. If there is a contradiction, it must be tied into a dead knot.
The small tribes scattered on the periphery can be co-opted if they can, and if they can't be co-opted, they can be handed over to Duoyan Sanwei to deal with.
Don't you want a pasture? OK. This place is assigned to you, and how to do it is your own business.
If it weren't for the conditions, Meng Dang really wanted to paint in Mobei. Helpless to catch up with the Xiaoice River period, the land is too barren, Mongolian strong men are solid, but not stupid, the loss of money will definitely not be done. In addition, there are Tatars and Warats in between, and the enclosure movement envisioned by Uncle Meng is not feasible at this stage.
"According to Weichen's view, once the mutual market is opened, it is also convenient for the army to find excellent war horses for border defense."
Since the Hongwu period, the imperial court has ordered the border army and the people to raise horses. And set up a Taifu Temple in northern Xinjiang to manage horse breeding.
Over the years, although the number of horses has increased, quality is still an issue. It's very simple, no matter how good the foal is, it will be raised and scrapped when it is circled.
Zhu Di was born in the flames of war and has an extremely keen sense of smell in the military. During the Jingjing, most of them charged with cavalry and repeatedly broke through the camp of the Southern Army.
Meng said that making money can make him nod, and when he talks about military affairs and war horses, it can make his eyes shine.
"That's a great deal."
It took a dry throat to get these four words.
Meng really wanted to compare the middle finger to the sky, considering who was in front of him, and endured it in the end, and said: "It is within the minister's duty to share the worries for His Majesty." ”
was forced to press his head by the emperor, and he was grateful to say that he had pressed it well.
It's really not easy to be a big husband.
Zhu Di affirmed the proposal to open the mutual market and provoke internal contradictions in the grassland, and Meng Shishilang retired successfully.
Next, the military issues involved in the recital were discussed. At this point, Shen Xuan and Wei Guogong have more say,
Retreating behind Shen Xuan, Meng's throat continued to smoke.
A eunuch brought tea at the right time, and when he looked at it, it was the white dog who had changed his name to Yanhui again. can be left to serve in the warm pavilion, and the loyalty will definitely explode. was also renamed twice by Zhu Di, and his position is absolutely fine.
Meng nodded to the white dog and thanked him, took the teacup, and took a big sip.
The emperor did not agree, and no one dared to bring him tea.
In this case, drink with your neck tilted and pour hard, and there is no pressure at all.
Meng Shishilang poured water, but Shen Xuan was not affected at all and continued to speak calmly.
The Marquis of Wuyang, the Duke of Wei, listened carefully, and the emperor didn't see it.
Brother Zhu Gaochi turned his head silently, and at the same time gave a thumbs up, daring to be so informal, in front of his father, Xingning Bo is really a man.
On the same day, the Yongle Emperor stayed in the palace for dinner.
Xu Huizu still has a cold face, Zhu Di doesn't care at all, Lao Tzu is happy, if you don't look at you, you will be successful.
When Queen Xu learned of this, she was very excited, and immediately ordered to add a few more dishes to the dinner table, especially elbows, and put one in front of one person.
The emperor is not bad for money, and the palace is not bad for elbows!
When the imperial meal was served, Meng was speechless.
It's really a family, regardless of whether the brother-in-law is still the brother-in-law, the son is still the nephew, and he is a complete carnivore.
I can't help but think back to the years in the Yan Wang's Mansion, and then look at the prince and marquis who are as heroic as the emperor and gnaw elbows, the dragon son and the phoenix grandson, and the image of the handsome middle-aged and beautiful young man in Meng Shishilang's heart collapsed instantly.
A good image or something, if it is really used to destroy.
"Why don't you use it? But not to taste? Zhu Gaosui gnawed his elbow while aiming at the plate in front of Meng, there is a big attempt that you don't eat me.
Meng hurriedly shook his head, learning from the emperor's family, picked up his elbows and gnawed.
Looking at Xingningbo, who was full of fierceness and tore his elbow, the Zhu Gaochi brothers gave a thumbs up again, Xingning uncles, pure!
For a meal, Meng decisively ate it.
When I got out of the palace gate, I couldn't even get on the horse.
Wei Guogong was a serious person, but the Marquis of Wuyang almost fell off his horse with a smile.
Shen Xuan handed the reins to the guards, took Meng's wrist, and walked all the way back to the Hou Mansion.
Meng was a little embarrassed, but Shen Xuan was calm.
The next day, the rumors of Dingyuan Marquis and Xing Ningbo holding hands and shopping on the street began to circulate on a small scale, and the news that should have caused a sensation was quickly suppressed by another news.
The Son of Heaven ordered to rebuild the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town!
The DPRK and China suddenly exploded, regardless of whether they would be confiscated to support the army, and the opposing Song Shu became a mountain in the Ministry of General Affairs.
In contrast, the news that the Son of Heaven ordered the opening of a mutual market in the north did not stir up a wave at all. Occasionally, it was mentioned, and it was quickly suppressed by the music related to the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi.
Faced with this situation, Meng also had to sigh, Emperor Yongle was really strong.
Knowing that the opening of the mutual market would be opposed by the courtiers, he simply launched the Jinyi Guard.
With Jinyi Wei in front of him, how can the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still have time to study the question of whether the mutual market can be opened.
To Meng's surprise, according to reliable sources, Emperor Yongle's preferred commander was Yang Duo, not Ji Gang.
This made Meng a little unsure, whether it was his butterfly wings or another reason.
In any case, the rebuilding of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si attracted all the attention of the courtiers and saved Meng a lot of trouble.
When Meng received the edict and packed his bags to prepare for the north, the 35th year of Hongwu finally passed, and the footsteps of history entered the first year of Yongle, and the most glorious chapter of the Ming Dynasty was opened.
