Chapter 64: Enlightenment
Xie Jin is known for his quick thinking, after listening to Zhu Yunwen's meaning, he thought about it a little, wrote down the holy decree like a cloud, blew the ink slightly, and handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, please look!" ”
Zhu Yunwen looked at it slightly and raised his hand: "Send it down." ”
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's tired appearance, everyone knelt on the ground: "Please take care of the dragon's body!" ”
"It's okay, you all go down, I need to be quiet!"
……
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with the emperor?"
"Squire, there are some things that I still don't know!"
Looking at Wang Du's indifferent smile, Xie Jinqiang laughed and arched his hand: "That's, that's!" ”
……
"Liu Zhen, you say, what will the Queen Mother think when she sees my will?"
"The little ones don't dare to say it."
"I guess I think my son is unfilial, but I really can't help it, I have given Yunxi a chance, but I didn't expect him to be obsessed, no wonder I am ruthless."
Liu Zhen was silent.
"Alright, you go down!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Yunwen sat quietly for a long time, he found that his heart had hardened a lot, after hearing the news that Yun Xi fell into the water and Yun Xi was seriously injured, his first reaction was not the safety of his brothers, but what the hell are these two people doing? And Miaojin, he knew that she came to him yesterday, and he knew why she came to him, but he didn't go to see her because it wasn't suitable for ...... At this moment, Zhu Yunwen's mind came to mind the face of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is already Zhu Yunwen's habit, when encountering difficult and difficult to choose things, he often asks himself, if the imperial grandfather is here, what will he do? However, even if he guessed the way the imperial grandfather disposed of it, Zhu Yunwen often couldn't do it, and often tolerated the adulterer. For Mongolia, Korea, and Jurchen, he can make a decision to kill, and when he gives an order, blood flows like a river; But for the Zhu family's royal family, as well as the honorable and important ministers, he is often ruthless. Zhu Yunwen didn't understand why before, but now he finally understands, because he is not exactly Zhu Yunwen, he is more of Zhu Shoudao in later generations. So he has always had a sense of guilt, like a thief, stealing the original position of Zhu Yunwen, enjoying his glory and wealth, enjoying the mother-son relationship of the Empress Dowager Lu, enjoying the husband and wife love of Queen Ma Hui, and then there is Bai Fangrui, she should not have appeared in the palace, she should have been a happy lark, but now she has become a canary, without the former brilliance; and Xu Miaojin, although there is a legend in later generations that she likes Zhu Yunwen, but this can only make him more guilty.
However, I am afraid that all this is coming to an end, and it is doomed to be impossible to please everyone.
The opening of the sea ban, the establishment of customs, and the collection of commercial taxes greatly increased the tax revenue of the imperial court, and a large part of this tax revenue was used to pay the salaries of the hundred officials and princes. But what surprised me was that these people were not grateful to themselves, and the hundred officials often wrote to ask them to stop competing with the people for profit, to cultivate literature with martial arts, and to stop opening border wars; As for the princes, the princes who were raised as pigs in their previous lives, since they heard that they wanted them to support themselves, they have been talking strange things, and now they are even more fueling the flames and have the intention of rebellion.
Zhu Yunwen didn't like the secret agent system, but he had to set up an investigation department, an intelligence department and a security department, and even Zhu Yunwen was still thinking about whether to set up the East Factory; He also didn't like militarism, but now he has to rely on the military.
The people he trusts the most are roughly Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Qu Neng, Li Yuan, and Geng Xuan, and then there are commanders of the guards such as Zhang Lun and Cao Yushu. These people were all raised by themselves, and the possibility of betraying them is very small. As for Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunwen is very contradictory, although he believes in him, but he guards against him, for example, the military strength under his command has never exceeded 50,000, and most of them are partial divisions, and they have never served as the main force of one side, and Xu Huizu should also know this.
As for the civilian officials, Zhu Yunwen doesn't care very much, because they don't have the ability to rebel.
……
"The white clouds in the blue sky are floating, the horses are running under the white clouds, waving the whip in all directions, and the birds are flying together......"
In the main hall, a group of women dressed in Mongolian costumes are dancing to the sound of songs. Their waists are soft, their movements are elegant, and their gestures show the unrestrained and proud of Mongolian women.
“…… The sun never rises on the grassland. ”
The dancing women turned to the top in unison, knelt on the ground, spread their hands as if embracing the sun, and then bowed their heads to the ground and called out in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Hahaha, please get up, hahaha!" Looking at the song and dance he had carefully choreographed, Zhu Yunwen's heart was full of joy, laughed, and waved his hand to Liu Zhen: "All are rewarded!" ”
After everyone received the reward and retreated, Zhu Yunwen turned to Erleboke at the head of the head and said with a smile: "Erlebok Khan, how are the songs and dances performed by the tribes near Suiyuan?" Can you still get into the eyes of the sweat? ”
"Good, good, good!" Elebek's face was a little ugly, but he had to speak.
"Hehe, Arutai, Mahamu, what about you?"
Arutai and Mahamu glanced at each other, walked out together, and knelt in the hall: "The song and dance of the Suiyuan tribe is the voice of our hearts. ”
"Very good, very good, the Suiyuan tribe is my Ming people, as long as the two generals are honest, I will not treat the two of them badly."
"Emperor Xie!"
After pacifying Arutai and Mahamu, Zhu Yunwen turned to the left, raised his wine glass and said, "Envoy of Arslen, I don't know what you think?" ”
"This," Arslen was stunned for a moment, his face was red and white for a while, he hesitated for a long time, and arched his hand: "Back to the Ming Emperor, the foreign minister likes the song and dance just now, as if returning to the beautiful grassland, back to the blue sky and white clouds, the green grass of the Xihai Lake, where is the hometown of the foreign minister. ”
"Well, that's good, I don't know why your envoy came from afar this time?"
"Returning to the Ming Emperor," Arslen slowly walked to the hall, bowed and saluted, and said: "Now Princess Samur is in charge of the country, but she misses her father day and night, and she can't stop crying. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "This matter is easy, Erle Bok Khan is my friend, and I sent someone to personally invite Daming to live permanently, and in addition, Prince Kharguchuk is still in Beijing, they haven't seen each other for many years, and they miss it very much, so they can't go back for the time being, right, Erle Burke?" ”
Looking at Zhu Yunwen's eagle-like eyes, Erlebok had the heart to refute, but in the end he didn't dare to say it, he shook his head and said: "Arslen, you go back and tell Samur that Ben Khan will not go back for the time being, and it will not be too late to go back after Ben Khan has traveled all over the rivers and mountains in the pass." ”
"But ......," Arslen could say more, but Elberk waved his hand and did not respond again.
In fact, Arslen did not really want to welcome back Erlebok, it was just a scene; In the same way, what Erlebok said is not a lie, he doesn't want to go back, because he can still live if he stays in Daming, but I'm afraid there is only a dead end when he goes back. As for Samur's prison state, he is just a puppet of Ugqi's father and son, and the shameless Eseku also takes Samur as a concubine, thinking of this, Erlebok's heart is tingling, and his face is pale......
When Arslen sat down in his seat, he suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and he looked sideways, and it turned out to be Maham, the former concubine of Princess Samur---- Maham. Looking at Mahamu's angry eyes, Arslen couldn't help but smile, raised his wine glass to signal, and then drank it all.
Seeing this scene, Mahamu was angry, and he slapped the table with a "snap", and was about to stand up, but was tightly pulled by Arutai next to him: "Don't you want to die?" ”
"I don't want to live anymore!"
"Don't you want to see Samuel again, don't you want to see Tohuan again?"
Arutai's voice struck Mahamu's heart like a hammer, and the tiger-like man sat down, bowing his head weakly, tears streaming down his cheeks and falling on his shirt one by one.
Zhu Yunwen had an unobstructed view of the following situation, and what surprised him was that Arutai and Mahamu, the two old enemies in the previous life, actually began to huddle together to keep warm in this life, thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing, fate is really a wonderful thing......
