Chapter 5
"Even if the emperor is so insistent, the ministers will do their best and do their best. Today, the minister also has a few words in his heart to say to the emperor, although the country is big, the warlike will die; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obtained the savings of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, and it took more than 40 years for the whole country to eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu and relieve the northern trouble. However, the country is also exhausted, full of complaints, and smoke is everywhere. "Luntai's Guilty Edict" just proves that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has realized the evil consequences brought about by years of war. All the ministers in the DPRK and China think that as long as we do a good job of defense in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and then win over and divide Warat and Tatar from the outside, help the weak to resist the strong, make them discordant, and attack each other, then I will sit and watch the two tigers fight each other. Mobei is a bitter cold place, it is useless to occupy it, and if you abandon it, the enemy will come back, so what can you do? And Mobei attacked my Daming, as long as he held on for more than three months, the thieves ran out of food and retreated. As for the suspension of navigation is the ancestral precept that Taizu had when he was there, the minister thought that Taizu's law of forbidding the sea to prevent pirates and pirates was effective, and my Ming Dynasty was the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and the emperor did not have to worry about having a strong enemy around. ”
"Ha, ha, ha......" Zhu Di smiled: "Xia Yuanji, I didn't think to convince you of this old stubbornness, I only know that you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to be loyal to me." It's just that you said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Luntai Edict" I thought that Sima Guang had tampered with the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because I was also an emperor, and I was the same emperor as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, especially the last sentence, I am sure that it was added by later generations. There are lessons from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and I am willing to be the master of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Therefore, I will never make my Ming Dynasty like the Song Dynasty, there is a Song Dynasty to know, only the rule of culture and no martial arts is like a three-year-old child holding gold in the city, the end can be imagined. Taizu Zeng Yun, not my race, his heart will be different, the disaster of Yidi has been for a long time, looking at the previous generations, suffering from its humiliation, deeply shameful, the way to govern Yi must be both virtuous and virtuous...... I think so. Well, as for this voyage, I only said one thing, but the second is also to reduce the pressure on your household, if there is no gold and silver goods brought back by Zheng He every time he returns, you Xia Yuanji will not be able to find so much silver even if he digs three feet into the ground. It is easy to sail, and I can make a decree. But everything I have to do must not be delayed, and the current taxes must not be increased, Xia Yuanji, come, come, come, taste this freshly brewed good tea. ”
Xia Yuanji frowned and slowly drank the tea, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for not being able to do it." Many of the things that the Yongle Dynasty did were major events that shook the country's foundation in the previous dynasty. If all the emperor's affairs cannot be delayed, and the ship has been built, let Daming earn more silver. All the minister thinks is that I can recuperate as soon as possible, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"I understand Aiqing's loyalty and love for the people, but there are only Wenzhi in the Song Dynasty and only martial arts in the Yuan Dynasty, I don't want the Song Dynasty to survive for more than 300 years, and I don't want the Yuan Dynasty to be reckless in military force for less than 100 years. Zhu Di changed the topic and said: "The household department must prepare enough money and food for emergencies, and I will have nothing to do." ”
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the minister will go back to make arrangements, and the minister will retire."
After Xia Yuanji retreated, Zhu Di said in his heart: "It seems that there is indeed a lack of successors after me, and who knows my helplessness." Even though I am the emperor, I can't turn things around, so I can only do my best to pull the ministers wherever they go. God bless me. ”
Thinking of this, Zhu Di said: "Wang Zhong, has there been a reply from the hospital?" ”
Wang Zhong replied: "Your Majesty, the Tai Hospital has returned, in addition to the headache of the young master, the body is a little weak, the Tai Hospital has prescribed a solid Peiyuan prescription for the young master to recuperate, please rest assured that the Tai Hospital will do its best to take care of the young master." ”
Zhu Di said: "It is said that the medicine needed by the young master Yao Guangxiao is supplied by the Taitai Hospital according to the standard of the Son of Heaven. ”
Wang Zhong responded: "The old slave will send someone to go, the emperor, the secretary of the military department Fang Bin is already waiting outside the imperial study to listen to the announcement." ”
"Xuan!"
After passing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Zhu Di said: "Fang Bin, the New Year is approaching, the military department will write the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, and order the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division to inform all guards, thousands of households, and hundreds of households to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the robbery of the Japanese invaders; In addition, the Governor's Office of the Right Army was written, and the Guangxi Metropolitan Division and the Yunnan Metropolitan Division were instructed to strengthen the vigilance of the guards, thousands of households, and hundreds of households to prevent the raids of the rogues. I want my people to have a good year! ”
Fang Bin Shili replied: "The emperor's heart is about the world, which is the blessing of my Ming people, and the ministers thank the emperor for the emperor's grace on behalf of the people of the world." ”
Zhu Dile smiled and said: "Fang Bin, I know that you are doing errands with your heart, and you will not make mistakes, and you will still follow me to the next expedition to Mobei." ”
"Minister, thank the emperor for his kindness, although he can't repay it. The minister went back to arrange this matter, and the minister retired. ”
Zhu Di drank the newly changed tea, smelling the fragrant aroma, which was smooth and slightly bitter in the mouth, and then filled with a long-lasting orchid fragrance. The mind is clear, the spirit is lifted, and the sluggish brain can think normally again. Put down the teacup, get up and paced slowly, straightened out his thoughts: at most wait for more than a month, the news will be transmitted to Nanjing, now that the food and salary have been arranged, the Jinyi Guard has begun to control, Jiaozhi Xinding is unstable, if there is a rebellion, it is understandable, I am curious about how the 5,600 sergeants of this Songmen guard were captured? Is there something else hidden, or is it already so powerful? If the Japanese are powerful, when Zheng He comes back to destroy them, he will once again send an envoy to the East to ask Japan for the guilt. As for the landing in Yanzhou, first, the danger of the rebellion is unknown, and second, Zheng He's mission to send envoys from various countries back to China and the mission cannot be interrupted. After Zheng He returns, I will decide whether I need Zheng He to send troops to Yanzhou. Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel relieved, and said, "Wang Zhong, I'm hungry......"
"Wang Wenle, summoned by Lord Zheng."
Some of the people were suspicious, some were happy, and some were envious to see this young and silent half-grown boy leave with his entourage. Then a lively discussion began, and this kid was summoned by Lord Chincha for the second time. I think this kid is a little pitiful and wooden, but people can't look good, of course, this kid is really average, it's really not to belittle him, any one of them is better than him, and I don't know what Lord Qincha likes about this kid? Could it be that the food is to the taste of Lord Chincha? Well! It's a possibility. Well? Could it be...... Everyone then kept silent, you look at me, I look at you, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and then I didn't say anything, and we all went to work very tacitly......
Zheng He was in a good mood today, and when he saw Wang Wenle smiling like a chrysanthemum, he said, "Wenle, sit down and talk." Stand down, all of you, and go out and shut the door. ”
Facing the playful eyes of the guards and entourage, Wang Wenle said helplessly: "It's crooked, my mind is crooked......"
After everyone went out, Zheng He continued: "Wenle, as you said, Taizu protects my Ming Dynasty, and I respectfully follow Taizu's instructions, this is the biggest harvest since Ben Qincha went to sea, and all the goods brought by him are sold out, and the merchants here are going to war to buy these goods!" In order not to cause a military disaster, I sent people to register all the merchants, so that everyone had a part in eliminating this man-made disaster. One of the reasons why I have summoned you today is whether Taizu continues to trust you with his dreams, and the second is that Ben Qin Cha is about to play my emperor secretly, if you have any requests, Ben Qin Cha will try his best to meet your needs and write them into this secret music. ”
Wang Wenle said in his heart: "The New Year has not yet arrived, even if I have a request, I will continue to be my leader obediently after the New Year's incident." ”
"Hui Qincha Lord, the small one does not ask for a reward, as long as the dream of Taizu and his old man is true, the small one will rest assured, the little one is also frightened and scared for many days, for fear that this matter will not really lose his life, the little one still wants to save some money to marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, and have a few more children to live a stable and comfortable life, but there are two major events to happen in this New Year, and the small heart has been uneasy, and asked Taizu in the dream whether his old man is true, and his old man glared at him, The little one immediately felt a little chill in his neck, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask anymore. However, the little one did dream of Taizu and his old man again, but this time he was chatting with the little one in a dream, and there was no guidance, so the little one wanted to summon the little one when the Lord Qin Cha was not busy and then talk to the adults. ”
"Oh! In the future, if you have a dream, you can come to Ben Chin Cha at any time. Zheng He held the pen and said as he wrote on the paper.
Taizu said to the old man: "The fourth is right, if he hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have embarked on the road of anti-Yuan, and there would have been no Ming Dynasty." It is the grandson who does not leave a way for his uncles to live; The fourth child still sees far, there is endless wealth on this sea and there are unknown dangers at the same time, but it is a pity that the navigation of the Ming Dynasty cannot continue after the fourth child. Therefore, let Zheng He earn more money to provide sufficient military funds for the fourth child, so that the enemies in trouble on the border can be destroyed one by one, even if they cannot be destroyed, they must fight this group of enemies, and only in this way can the people truly live and work in peace and contentment. It's a pity that future generations are stupid to read and read, all of them are monarchs and ministers who keep the success, guarding this acre and three points of land and dreaming of the heavenly kingdom, which is not as good as me and the fourth child, the emperor who does not read. It is impossible for these heavenly machines to be leaked, but you kid is a heavenly reincarnation psychic body that should not appear in this world, so you can convey these heavenly opportunities through your kid. Tell the fourth child, instead of letting these unscrupulous descendants lose Jiaozhi, it is better to come out in Jiaozhi in a piece of land, and let my old man point out this kid to open up the second granary for my Ming Dynasty, the former Jiangnan is also a barbarian land, and now it is the first granary of my Ming Dynasty. In addition, the advantages of coastal trade in southern Xinjiang are not bound by the national policy of banning the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and great things can be achieved if they recuperate for more than ten years. As for the two provinces of Yanzhou and Yi'an, the northern part is still the Jiaozhi Cheng Envoy Division, and the southern area is changed to the Nanyang Colonial Education Division......"
