Chapter 4 Gambling with the Emperor
"Your Highness, although it is possible to be rejected, but if you show toughness and take death as your determination, Your Majesty may not agree with your idea of fighting in the south and in the north." Ma Sanbao instigated Zhu Di, he understood Zhu Di's temperament, this prince had long looked forward to the thrill of fighting on the battlefield, fighting in the south and in the north.
When it comes to the southern and northern wars, Zhu Di suddenly became interested, as the most warlike prince, he naturally has a lot of ideas about the conquest, at this moment, it is also a good time to find Zhu Yuanzhang to ask for military power, and it is also a good opportunity for Zhu Di to come out, Zhu Di has long known that among the many princes, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is his eldest brother Zhu Biao, as the fourth brother, he can't take his turn, unless he can show the most dazzling performance among his brothers.
Reminded by Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di had a fire in his heart that was restless, he hurriedly ran to the center of the court and knelt down, and in front of the emperor's might, he put down the prince's figure.
"Di'er, why is that?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, and looked at Zhu Di with a puzzled face, usually with Zhu Di's arrogance, he would not kneel in front of him, even if he became the emperor, he rarely saw Zhu Di kneel in front of him, and now Zhu Di suddenly knelt, Zhu Yuanzhang had a hunch that Zhu Di must have something to ask for.
"If the child has a request, I hope to obtain a certain amount of military power from my father's hands, and lead the army to the north for my father, and strive to take the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north of the Ming Dynasty and purge the remnants of Mongolia!" Zhu Di's voice spread throughout the court, he roared, his voice became hoarse, he understood his father's character, if he didn't show a little determination, his father would not agree.
"Military power? You kid is direct, looking for me to ask for military power, if I don't give it, it will cool your blood, I give it, other generals will promise, if I give you the tiger seal, you rebel against me, and rob the world with me, isn't it a joke! Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and glanced at Zhu Di, who was kneeling on the ground, but did not promise.
"Father! The sons swear by life and death, and have no objections, and the sons are only to help their father win the world! It will belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty's land revenue! Let me be the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the real center of the world! Zhu Di raised his head and arched his hand, his tone was tough, his eyes were resolute, he still knelt down, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's reply.
"What do you mean, my Great Ming, is not the Heavenly Empire now? The center of the world? Absurd! I have my own plans, just rely on you hairy boy, lead the troops to fight, compared to Chang Yuchun Xu Da and other generals? I think I have obtained the living Zhuge in vain, so I vainly try to build the world for me? Who vouches for you? Who can trust you? Dare to ask if the troops you lead will trust you? Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and Zhu Di still couldn't afford to bow down.
"Minister, Ma Wenhe, I am willing to vouch for His Highness! As His Royal Highness said, the minister has a divine weapon, and he will help His Highness win the world, I hope Your Majesty promises Your Highness, Your Highness has no objection, just for the sake of Daming! His Royal Highness is only the King of Yan, if he is opposed, compared with Da Ming, he will hit the stone with an egg, and I hope His Majesty will think twice! Seeing this, Ma Sanbao knelt beside Zhu Di, in the court, he understood that this was irrational, but the process of history was that Zhu Di obtained military power to recover the Northeast, and he was still waiting to hug Zhu Di's thigh, in the court, the civil and military officials did not speak out for Zhu Di, and if he didn't make a sound, his thigh would hate himself to death, after all, he made his own advice, if Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Zhu Di face, it was also his own sin.
"You kid is clever and knows how to vouch for Zhu Di, but why should I believe you two?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and his anger dropped a little, in Zhu Di's book, Ma Sanbao was blown by Zhu Di, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little moved.
"I am willing to bet with Your Majesty, taking the Northeast as an example, within two years, I will let the Mongolian lieutenant Naier surrender to my Ming Dynasty without spending money!" Ma Sanbao's brain is no longer running all the time, for Zhu Di, even if he breaks the time paradox, he has to help Zhu Di obtain military power, you know, Naier Buhua only returned to the Ming Dynasty in 1390, and now, it is only 1379.
"Oh? What you say is impressive, but why am I betting against you? Zhu Yuanzhang's face was different, this is the first time that someone dares to bet with him in the court, if it is ordinary, he would have been pulled out and beheaded, now this son is facing the emperor, he is fearless, and he seems so calm and calm, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, although he is dissatisfied in his heart, he is willing to admit that this son must be a genius in the future.
"I can expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty several times! Let the Ming Dynasty surpass the previous dynasty, there is no ancient, and there is no one after! Ma Sanbao opened his mouth, he let it go, and now that he was planning to break the time paradox for Zhu Di, he simply didn't do anything and showed the great ambition in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang lost color, the vision and courage of the children at the moment are really beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination, how can he not want the Ming Dynasty to be like the Great Yuan period, with a vast territory, the emperor is not satisfied, even if the Ming Dynasty dominates the world, no matter what the cost, he is willing, but he also understands that in his life, he is busy with war, and he may not see such a great Ming.
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you, but if I let you go for three years, I still need Di'er to take charge of my fiefdom first, so that the people's lives can be stable and the people's hearts are stabilized, and then go to war! If you can't succeed, Di'er will never be able to leave her fiefdom! Zhu Yuanzhang was moved, as the emperor, he finally trusted Ma Sanbao, who was called Zhuge Liang, who didn't like the military advisor Zhuge Liang? Without Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei is just a descendant of the royal family who sells straw shoes, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a peasant beggar, and he cherishes the military advisor even more, especially after Liu Bowen's death, he needs the military advisor more, whenever he needs a military advisor, he no longer misses Liu Bowen all the time, just like Cao Cao mourned Guo Jia at the beginning.
"Your Highness, it's done! We are done! Ma Sanbao secretly rejoiced, he had already thought of countermeasures, in history, he already knew these battles, besides, his small body contained the soul of modern people, the soul of this modern person is not simple, to help the motherland resist foreign enemies, open up the sea, he also understands that no emperor will think that his territory is small, Zhu Yuanzhang is even more so, in troubled times, Zhu Yuanzhang is the most outstanding careerist, Ma Sanbao's mind to Zhu Yuanzhang is very tight, in the officialdom like a fish in water is not without reason.
Zhu Di exhaled, after getting the military power, the most excited was Zhu Di, however, Zhu Yuanzhang made him a little disappointed by an order, that is, he went to the fiefdom of Beiping, he is good at fighting, he prefers to lead the troops to go out to fight than to appease the people, before Ma Sanbao said every word not only moved Zhu Yuanzhang, even Yan Wang Zhu Di was also moved by Ma Sanbao's words, and even inspired his inner desire for war, he is a war expert, how can he not be a careerist, Zhu Yuanzhang's family, Zhu Di is the closest to Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of character, and the most ambitious of the princes.
Supporting a careerist to take the throne, Ma Sanbao's heart is also excited, in his previous life, he was also a man who pursued excitement, the reason why he chose Zhu Di was not only to respect history, but also to experience the feeling of supporting careerists to gain the country, he has never had this experience.
"You, you are really my confidant, thanks to you, my father will hand over the military power to me, but are you really sure that you can deal with the remnants of the Great Yuan in the north? I have heard of the Naier you are talking about, he is a very powerful lieutenant in Mongolia, and if he lets Chang Yuchun and other generals go, there will be a glimmer of hope. Zhu Di was a little nervous, he bet with Zhu Yuanzhang, the bet was his own freedom, don't look at Ma Sanbao to develop a business route for Zhu Di, even if Zhu Di loses his freedom in the future, he will not worry about money, but this war master is more eager for war.
"Your Highness, rest assured, all this is on me, you, just take care of my family, start our industrial chain, and raise troops in the future, not to mention the world, even the throne, I can get it for you." Ma Sanbao said, "This is a secret that only belongs to the two of us, spread it, don't talk about me, even you, the prince, have lost your head!" ”
"The throne?" Zhu Di was excited, he didn't want the emperor, but he was not the prince, the real prince was his eldest brother, even if the eldest brother lived and died, according to the lineage, the eldest brother's son was the real emperor's heir, how could it be his turn Zhu Di's head, but, looking at Ma Sanbao's cheap smile, Zhu Di suddenly felt a little relieved, yes, after meeting Ma Sanbao during this time, what miracle had he not seen? Not to mention that Ma Sanbao created a trade route for him, and the long-range weapon in Ma Sanbao's hand, which was more powerful than a firecracker, had already won some achievements on the way back to Beijing.
"I'm in a good mood today, please go to the drunken fairy building to play, even if the gods come, you have to shake three times here, this is a restaurant you don't have in Yunnan, what do you want to do, I Zhu Di has packed everything for you!" Zhu Di spoke, accompanied by the guards, they came to an antique small building, the plaque of the small building was impressively printed with the words "Drunken Immortal Building", Ma Sanbao was moved, he had seen this restaurant on TV, the restaurant is a well-known signboard in Nanjing, even if Zhu Yuanzhang announced the restoration of the restaurant in the future, the other restaurants looked gloomy in front of this restaurant.
In the previous life, Zheng Qi liked wine as his life, in this life, don't look at him as young, in the depths of his soul, the desire for wine that stimulates his brain, he just wants to taste the wine of the Ming Dynasty, stepping into the restaurant, he was attracted by the rich aroma of wine, the small face showed a smile of expectation, not only the expectation of wine, maybe, but also to dig out business opportunities from it, no matter which dynasty, which period, money, is the most important treasure, the emperor is also short of money, lack of money for raising soldiers, lack of money for building buildings, the rise of projects, the same need for money, Money is hard currency, and Ma Sanbao supports Zhu Di and also asks for money.
