Chapter 539: Closest Relatives to Strangers

Zhu Gaochi was born with a fat head and big ears, no taller than his two younger brothers, but in terms of handling government affairs, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui together are not as good as his little finger. In the past, when he was still a son, he dealt with important affairs when Zhu Di pretended to be crazy, and Zhu Di led the army to fight in the south and the north, if he didn't sit in Beiping, I am afraid that even the base area would be lost. Even if Zhu Di ascended the throne, he, the crown prince, had been in charge of the country several times, although he had never been able to grasp the removal of high-grade officials, and although he was frequently suspicious, he was not inferior to his father Zhu Di in his ability to simply handle affairs.

However, in the Duanjing Hall at this time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who has always been known for respecting officials and is known as a model of benevolence and filial piety, was angry in front of his subordinates for the first time in his life. He threw a book of folds on the ground with his hand, and glared angrily at Yang Shiqi, who was sending the folds, and shouted: "What is this? Is he crazy? If this kind of thing is sent, the father will definitely be half angry, he thinks this is a child's house? ”

When he first moved to Beijing, seven of the ten eunuchs in the Duanjing Palace were new faces, but he didn't have to worry about these, and he had the crown princess Zhang working hard little by little. Now, as long as the words he uttered in this hall of worship were not extremely relevant, not a single word would be revealed, which was why he did not hide it at this moment. After glaring at Yang Shiqi for a moment, and seeing that the other party was just not strict, he finally realized that he was so angry that he was extremely unreasonable, and couldn't help but sit down stupidly.

I knew that he didn't know the severity, but this time his father and son didn't make enough trouble? That day, the staff scolded King Shouguang, and there was a mess in front of the Qianqing Palace, almost killing people on the spot. Father and son, father and son, how can there be such a father and son in the world, he doesn't know how to be a little more restrained? ”

After the fire, Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, and knew in his heart that what he was most annoyed about was another point. He was born as the eldest son, and he is also the son of ironclad, so he has been separated from his brother since he was a child, and he studied alone in a courtyard, all of which are etiquette rules, and Zhu Di is even more scolding at every turn, and he has always been the strictest father. But when facing Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Di will show care and love, not to mention anything else, just rely on Zhu Gaoxu's nonsense over the years, how many times have he died?

Everyone said that it was up to him to intercede for King Han's preservation, but who would know that he just saw through Zhu Di's heart to protect the calf, and had to press down the trace of disgust and turn around. Even without him, Zhu Gaochu would not be able to die, and Zhu Gaosui would be the same! All my father thought of was beating them, but he was harsh on him!

"Let's put this on hold for the time being, and then find a good opportunity to present it to my father after the New Year's Day tomorrow."

Whenever the emperor goes on an expedition or a tour, it must be Prince Yang Shiqi Liufu, no matter who looks at him, he is a princeling who is like a fake, so he never shy away from entering and leaving the East Palace. At this time, I saw a little eunuch hurriedly picking up the fold from the ground, and respectfully stepped forward to present it to him, but he did not take it, but bowed to Zhu Gaochi at the top.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with all due respect, your intentions are good, but I am afraid that it is contrary to the emperor's intentions. The emperor said before that all foreign princes and above, military attachés and above, and civil officials of the second rank or above should be sent to the imperial court. If Your Highness thinks that it is inappropriate to present this recital, it cannot be put aside. Moreover, the King of Han is so fearless, I am afraid that he is determined to rectify King Shouguang. His Royal Highness will return to the submission, and the exhortation will be admonished afterwards. This is a recital, not a rumor, and the pressure cannot be suppressed. ”

was persuaded by Yang Shiqi with these words, and Zhu Gaochi was suddenly moved. Although he has not yet marched north, Zhu Di has lost all the thoughts of the imperial court affairs to the East Palace, and he just gathers a group of generals to discuss what marching routes, what baggage transportation, what troop deployment, and what weapon supply...... But even so, those two eyes would still sweep sharply across the East Palace from time to time. When the time comes, he has a good heart but is thought to be ill-intentioned, so what's the pain?

"Okay, you will accompany me to the Qianqing Palace later."

With such a faint order, he couldn't help but stare at the twists and turns of the yellow silk cover fiercely, but he was puzzled in his heart. Zhu Zhanqi, the king of Shouguang, inherited Zhu Gaoxu's irritable temperament, and his behavior was lawless, but the nephew who was not yet twenty dared to secretly communicate with the eunuchs in Xuanfu Town, and even leaked military information to the Tartars, but he couldn't believe it anyway. If this matter is false, then Zhu Gaoxu is crazy; If it's true, then it's Zhu Zhanqi who is crazy.

Could it be that Zhu Gaoxu knew that it was hopeless to seize the throne by serious means, so he tossed desperately, eager to make the emperor Lao Tzu angry to death?

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and the daily progress from the General Administration Department is an astronomical amount, and it is possible for a diligent emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang to read it completely alone, and Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, has to rely on the cabinet as a secretary. Although Zhu Gaochi is skilled in government affairs, he does not have that kind of energy, and almost always answers according to the instructions drafted by the cabinet.

Absentmindedly spent an hour reading a stack, he suddenly raised his head and asked Yang Shiqi: "Have the two copies of the impeachment of Zhang Yue been submitted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate before?" ”

Yang Shiqi naturally read Liu Zixu's five-thousand-word excerpt Yang Shiqi naturally read it, leaving aside the content, it was a good article, with a beautiful style, and that kind of passionate wording was understandable because it was unclear. Zhang Yue and Zheng Heng had already presented a recital, and of course their ministers knew what the so-called Tatar envoys were about. However, the emperor appreciated this little trick, but he told everyone to do nothing like this, and to see what the spies scattered on the side of Varat and Tatar had in return. Moreover, Zhu Gaochi also knew about this.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this was submitted a few days ago. The emperor only turned it over yesterday, and said that the patrol was patrolled according to the imperial history on behalf of the sky, and it was common for the words to be written and said. However, the stakes are very high, and it will not be sent in the middle. As for what Yu Qian played, he will discuss it after the Northern Expedition. ”

These are two completely different dispositions, Zhu Gaochi frowned after hearing this. Zhu Di went on a northern expedition, and he led hundreds of officials to supervise the country, supervise the transportation of grain and grass, etc., but he appointed someone to handle it early. Now that Zhang Yue is the governor of the Xuanfu, it is not yet known whether he will be with him or not. If he stays, Zhu Di is very likely to be entrusted with another important task; If you drive, it will be of another use.

"Zhan Ji once mentioned to me that he wanted to transfer Zhang Yue to the Imperial Palace, but he is so capable now, I am afraid it is difficult to enter the East Palace. This Chinese New Year, he also gave Zhan Ji a New Year's gift, which is a hand-painted picture of red plums in the snow, I heard that when the emperor saw him in your mansion, it was the red plum in the snow, it seems that he is nostalgic. I hope that the emperor will let him drive with him this time, and let him experience experience. ”

What Zhu Gaochi can think of, Yang Shiqi can naturally think of. The 300,000 elite army is outside, and after entering the grassland, they will store grain and divide troops in those fortresses and fortresses built by the previous Second Northern Expedition. The emperor is old, and he is afraid that there will be a case, of course Yang Rongjin Youzi can be trusted, but at that time, a group of civil officials may not be able to control those military generals who hold military power. Even if all the families of these people are in the Beijing Division, you must know that every time the prince who stays in the prison country can't move the Beijing Guards to defend the Beijing Division. For the emperor, military power can never be touched by outsiders.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "The minister forgot that there is another thing. This time, the Ministry of War presented a list to the emperor that should be transferred, that Liaohai Wei Qianhu Wang Yu, and the Ministry of War transferred other Shence Wei Qianhu. ”

If it was an ordinary thousand households, Yang Shiqi naturally couldn't remember it, but this person had uncovered a big case in the past, and he knew that he seemed to have some kinship with Zhang Yue, so he also paid attention. After saying this at this time, seeing that Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, he showed a thoughtful expression, and he diverted the topic again.

"In this northern expedition to transport grain, there were three governors, Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, Li Qing, the secretary of the military department, and Li Chang, the waiter. Under it, 26 people including Taining Hou Chen Yu led the car, and 25 people including Zhenyuan Hou Gu Xingzu led the donkey. After the transport was all transported by car, there were two governors, Baoding Hou Mengying, Sui'an Hou Chen Ying, led a thousand horsemen, 5,000 foot soldiers escorted, these 6,000 escort soldiers are all from the gods. ”

Zhu Gaochi had heard about this arrangement before, but at this time, Yang Shiqi mentioned it one after another, and he immediately understood. At the moment, he didn't say much, and after continuing to finish reading the recital, he ordered someone to tidy it up, and put it into the box together with the piece on the cover of the yellow silk at the top, and then called Yang Shiqi out of the Duanjing Hall together. When he left Zuo Shunmen, seeing that everyone else was far away, he asked Yang Shiqi in a low voice, "All the people dispatched by the military department are Shence Guards?" ”

"It's all about transferring to enrich the Divine Guard, this is Mian Ren's idea."

As soon as he heard that it was Yang Rong, Zhu Gaochi immediately understood. Yang Shiqi is skilled in government affairs, but military affairs are ordinary, and this idea is indeed only from Yang Rong's handwriting. As for how the other party affects the military department, then he doesn't have to worry about it. He was in a good mood and even walked briskly at this moment, until he entered the Qianqing Gate, and then he put on a cautious face. However, just when he and Yang Shiqi went up the white jade steps in front of the Qianqing Palace and walked from the corridor to the Dongnuan Pavilion, they only heard laughter inside.

Knowing that Zhu Di inside must be in a good mood, Zhu Gaochi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he arrived in front of the door curtain, as the little eunuch reported to enter, he saw that Zhu Di was Zhu Zhanji. Seeing him coming, Zhu Zhanji had already stood up, but his face seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Just when he was wondering in his heart and saluting at the same time, Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand at him.

"It's been so many years since Zhan Ji's wedding, and now the emperor's grandson and concubine Hu finally have good news. Either way, this is my great-grandchild, and if it's a boy, you'll have one more grandchild! ”

Although this is great news, seeing Zhu Zhanji's smiling appearance, thinking that his father is not the first person to get the news, Zhu Gaochi's face is full of smiles, but his heart is very uncomfortable. In Zhu Di's eyes, if he didn't have a virtuous princess, if he didn't have a smart son, he might be dispensable. However, if there was no him, how could Zhu Di leave behind the huge world again and again?
