The emperor ......" Yang Muyun pounced and fell to his knees again.

"Your Majesty," Minyu said with some reluctance on the side: "Please don't blame Yang Gongzi for the sake of him saving the little prince just now." ”

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and said to Minyu: "Concubine Zhou, she just gave birth to the emperor, and her body is very weak, you better hurry back to Changning Palace!" ”

"Yes......" Minyu hesitated for a moment.

"How to punish him, I have my own measure," Zhu Qizhen seemed to guess her thoughts, and said in a slow voice: "You don't have to worry too much about him, just rest assured." ”

Minyu replied again, and Fang retreated.

At this moment, there were only two people left in the room, Zhu Qizhen and Yang Muyun.

Zhu Qi stared at him calmly and did not speak.

Yang Muyun knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to gasp.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle dropping.

"I will give you two paths," the young emperor opened his mouth first, "First, I will consider marrying Xiyuan to you after dismissing all the wives and concubines around you, but Xiyuan is still young, and you will have to wait another two years to marry her." ”

"Your Majesty," Yang Muyun lowered his head and said: "The ancients said that it is not easy to be rich and wife, although the minister is from a humble background, but he also knows that the wife of the chaff will not go to the court. Minister...... I really didn't dare to take the order. ”

"That's good," Zhu Qizhen didn't have the slightest displeasure on his face, and then said: "Xiyuan has never forgotten you, and she didn't hesitate to disobey me and the Queen Mother for you, and this time it was because you secretly left the palace...... What do you think I'm going to do? ”

"Minister...... The minister ...... "Yang Muyun couldn't speak, and the beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down to the ground.

"I have an idea," Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, glanced at the outfit on his body and said, "You might as well enter the palace now, and become a eunuch, I will arrange for you to go to Yuxiu Palace on an errand, and face Xiyuan day and night, how about it?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Yang Muyun felt like a thunderstorm sounded above his head, and he almost fell to the ground.

"You promised?"

"No, no, no......" Yang Muyun raised his head in horror, "Minister...... The minister would rather die than dare to receive his life. ”

"Then I will be very embarrassed," Zhu Qizhen said leisurely: "You don't take the two roads I pointed out to you, so what should you do if you want me?" ”

"Your Majesty-" Yang Muyun knocked to the ground, gritted his teeth and swore an oath: "The minister is willing to leave the Beijing Division, go to the border pass, and never set foot in the Beijing Division for the rest of his life." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen shrugged his eyebrows, "Look at what you mean by forcing you to leave the Jingshi!" ”

"Don't dare!" Yang Muyun raised his head and said with a straight face: "It is the minister's lifelong ambition to clear the universe for His Majesty and drive out the captives. The minister has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his dream in his heart is to become a general who protects his family and the country like Wei Qing and Huo Quai. Since Emperor Taizong's northern expedition, it has been more than 20 years, and the Tatars in Mobei have revived, repeatedly offending the border, and a few days ago it was until the city of Jingshi...... The minister is not talented, and he is willing to be a soldier and guard the border for His Majesty. ”

"Well," Zhu Qizhen nodded, glanced at him with appreciation, and said: "The bitter cold in the north, but also the wind, frost, dew and snow, and the desert."

Wild sand, Mu Yun, you are really willing to stay there for the rest of your life? ”

"Defending the enemy outside the country, forever keeping the Ming Dynasty peaceful and prosperous, is the minister's lifelong wish, please Your Majesty fulfilled." Yang Muyun said categorically.

"Yu Qian told me about your expedition with the army," Zhu Qizhen said: "My young army of the Son of Heaven and the army of Xuanda can return to the pass safely, you have contributed a lot, and in Juyong Pass, you have also made great contributions...... At this time, you let me demote you to the border, so how can the courtiers talk about me? ”

"Your Majesty, but I ......"

"I actually know that Xiyuan is entangled with you, and it is not your wish," Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly, "She is a little too willful, and the charges can't be all on your head......"

"Your Majesty ......" Yang Muyun's nose was sour, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.

"You are loyal to me, I am not completely unaware," Zhu Qizhen stepped forward and pulled him up, "As a minister, it is not enough to be loyal, but also to have a good relationship with your colleagues...... This time when you come back, except for Yu Qian, no one has said a good word about you, you have to take it as a warning! ”

"Yes, the emperor reminded me that the minister must change his ways."

"I also believe that you will handle the matter with the princess," Zhu Qizhen said: "You must know that the palace is a place where rules are spoken, so many pairs of eyes are watching, and once there is any trouble, rumors will immediately spread." Even if I don't say anything at that time, the Queen Mother will force me to attack you. You're not going to make it hard for me all the time, are you? ”

"Minister...... Shame on you! Yang Muyun said with a smile.

"I remember that when I was a child, the first emperor always taught me to be a promising emperor," Zhu Qizhen sighed: "The words are still in my ears, but the first emperor is no longer there." But how easy is it to be a generation of Mingjun? In the eighty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of extravagance has become more and more popular, even if I want to make a difference, the ministers around me have no ambition, they are all fooling me, and they have to get by. I don't know who to talk to about what I want to do......"

"There are still some ministers around the emperor," Yang Muyun said: "For example, Yu Qian is an adult, he is loyal to his work, and he doesn't care about personal gains and losses......"

Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, "Yu Qian is quite diligent in his work, but his foundation in the court is too shallow," he sighed lightly, "There are too few people who can really be used under my hands, and all the monarchs in the court are mediocre, otherwise, the young army of the Son of Heaven and the elite of Xuanda will not come back like this with the Tartars......" sneered again and again, "They said at every turn that they were besieged by the 100,000 army of the Tartars, and after fighting bravely, they broke out of the siege...... Bah! I really think I'm a fool. ”

"Your Majesty...... Did you hear about the battle from Sain Polo? Yang Muyun asked cautiously.

"Do you want them to tell me clearly?" Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly: "Even Yu Qian's report to me is unknown, what about others? ”

"Then what is the emperor going to do with this Sain Polo?" Yang Muyun asked.

"You caught him desperately?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”

"This Sain Polo has a very high status in Mobei," Yang Muyun said, "Now Mobei is the most powerful

The Rats, they have a total of more than 100,000 elite cavalry. The minister heard that their leader also led 100,000 elite cavalry to conquer the country of Timur in the west, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in the steppe, and all of them were in the hands of this Sain Polo. This person is very good at fighting, and Duoyanwei was defeated by his troops...... If it weren't for the fact that the ministers led people to attack his Chinese army's tent at night and capture him alive, I am afraid that it would be difficult for our army to return to Guannai. ”

"Well, so you've made a lot of contributions!" Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty," Yang Muyun arched his hand, "The minister didn't dare to take credit, the minister also heard that he also defeated the Timur country in the west first, and he would return to the grassland in a few days, and then the power of the Tartars would be stronger. In Datong Town, in particular, most of the elite soldiers will be lost, and the defense force will be even tighter. ”

"I'm here for a good woman, it's hard to cook without rice! Most of the strength of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division was transferred south, and even if the recruits stepped up to replenish them, they would not be able to form a combat force in a short period ......of time," Zhu Qizhen shook his head and sighed: "So...... Do you have any great ideas? ”

"If you can't fight, it's better to make peace," Yang Muyun said: "Although the strength of the Tarts is strong, they can only succumb to the Tartar Khan and can't get rid of it, why?" Because their bloodline is not noble, there is a saying on the grassland, that is, members of the non-Yuan family cannot be called Khan. and Sain Polo are both the Rose clan, which is destined to make it impossible for them to become the real kings of the grassland, no matter how strong they are......"

"Well, I also heard that they don't agree with the Chahar tribe of the descendants of Tokhunhua," Zhu Qizhen nodded, "What do you mean by mentioning this?" ”

"The emperor can elevate the status of the Ots," Yang Muyun said, "that Sain Polo emperor can treat him as a guest and crown him king." ”

"Crowned king?"

"Yes," Yang Muyun said: "Not only will he be crowned king, but he will also be crowned king first, and the people of the Tartar Khan court will be separated from each other, and they will be allowed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty alone." ”

"You mean to see them as a separate country?" Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Yang Muyun continued: "The emperor has raised them to a position on an equal footing with the Great Khan of the Tartars, and they will definitely be grateful to the emperor and give them some more benefits, so that they will not disturb my Daming for the time being." Although the Great Khan of the Tartars was angry, his strength was weak, and he would never dare to start a war with my Ming alone, so that the immediate crisis could be solved. After a pause, he said: "In the long run, it will deepen the hostility between the various tribes of the Zarat and the Tartar Khan's court, which is a great blessing for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Well, Mu Yun, what you said is reasonable," Zhu Qizhen frequently bowed his head and said with praise, "The ministers of the court and the central government are not as far-reaching as you think, they just asked me to guard Sain Polo strictly, and wait for the Tartars to come to talk to me for peace." It seems that Mu Yun, your trip to Saibei was not in vain. ”

"The adults in the court may be afraid that the emperor won't be able to put down the shelves, right?" Yang Muyun said: "After all, elevating a imprisoned Fan King is losing the identity of the son of tomorrow. ”

"Identity is made by strength," Zhu Qizhen let out a sigh of relief and said, "When the Tartar cavalry soldiers came to the city of Beijing a few days ago, did they care about my identity as a great son?" They came as soon as they said they would, and they left as soon as they said they would, and my emperor's shelf had already been brought down by them. ”
