Everyone has already been killed, so naturally there is no need to explain any more reasoning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The people in the cabinet all kept their mouths shut.

At this time, what they were thinking about was not the question of how to stop and admonish the prince, but the question of how to deal with the aftermath so that the fierce Tatars would not attack the Ming in anger.

Liu Jian glanced at Liu Daxia, and the disappointment in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"You, Liu Daxia, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, naturally know how many people will be displaced by the war, why don't you stop it desperately?"

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly: "People have already been killed, what's the use of saying this, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath."

First of all, don't let me do anything to appease the Tatars, or I won't guarantee that I won't kill a few more Tatars. ”

At this time, Liu Daxia's face was still burning hot, and Zhu Houzhao's words were still haunting in his heart.

Liu Jian saw that Liu Daxia refused simply, so he no longer insisted and asked Xie Qian, the first capable person in the Hongzhi Dynasty, to do this, hoping to calm the anger of the Tatars.

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to these six departments and Jiuqing who came in a hurry, and took thousands of people to intimidate the Tatar mission who had already wanted to go home to find his mother again, and then returned to the court.

Zhang Yizhi proudly followed Zhu Houzhao's side, and from time to time showed the two knife wounds on his body in front of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was not as happy as he imagined, but was a little excited.

The dozen or so corpses in front of him stabbed his eyes, and he had never been so aggrieved in his previous life.

If your own people are killed by outsiders on your own land, you should at least condemn it, right?

But this group of Ming officials disappointed him too much, and the first thing he thought of was how to deal with the aftermath and how to compensate for it.

Could it be that the backbone of the Ming Dynasty has been completely discounted in the Tumu Fort Change?

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said to Zhang Yi, who was showing off his exploits in front of him: "Zhang Yi, you did a good job this time, go back and recuperate."

The official prince was promoted to you, and you sat firmly in the position of the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and the combat power of the Shenji Battalion was raised, and there will be a time when you will soar. ”

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao looked at the corpses that had gradually become cold again, and yelled three times in great anger.

"Liu Jin, you go to the mansion to get some silver, these dead brothers will be paid according to the specification of one hundred taels of silver each, and they will be personally delivered to their families, and the prince will personally play for them!"

And these women, one case of sending a bereavement pension! ”

After instructing these things, Zhu Houzhao went directly to the palace.

The cabinet people said that the emperor was sick, and he had to take a look at it as a son.

And there will definitely be a tougher battle to come, and you may be the only one who will face it.

Zhu Houzhao's horse was fast, but he was shocked to find that the legs of the cabinet elder were faster.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the cabinet elders were already waiting for Emperor Hongzhi by his side.

Emperor Hongzhi was half-lying on the bed on a pillow, his face was obviously a little pale, and his eye sockets were deep-set.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly jumped when he saw the appearance of Emperor Hongzhi, he never thought that the old emperor was so sick, and he looked like he was going to return to the west, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and knelt on the pedal.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled gently, stretched out his hand, which was slightly thin due to premature aging, and gently stroked Zhu Houzhao's head.

"Why did the emperor think of coming to see his father today?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, if it weren't for today's cabinet forged the holy decree, he really wouldn't know about it. After all, he's dizzy and busy making money these days.

"The father is so sick that the child doesn't even know it, it's really ......"

Zhu Houzhao was interrupted by Emperor Hongzhi before he finished speaking, and the emperor smiled and said, "It's okay, you also have something to be busy with, what are you doing here today?" ”

When Emperor Hongzhi asked him this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he stood up and pointed to a few cabinet bigwigs and said, "The cabinet elders pretended to pass on the holy decree and deceived the ministers. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked at Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and the others.

Li Dongyang took a step back without a trace, saying that he was very aggrieved, and he didn't know about it at all.

Liu Jian stood in front and didn't see Li Dongyang's small movements.

He impassionedly reported to Koji what had happened today, and gave an account of the consequences of the killing of the Tatar envoys and the concerns of his cabinet ministers.

In the end, he concluded: "The ministers just don't want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoil the great plan of the two countries for the sake of a momentary speed, after all, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and now the war between me and the Tatars is a curse rather than a blessing to me!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, coughed and looked out of breath, and the bluffed Zhu Houzhao hurriedly patted and stroked, and it took a long time for Hongzhi's breath to even.

He said slowly: "Your cabinet is right, the war between the Ming and Tatar countries has not stopped for a hundred years, and this sudden tribute is undoubtedly an opportunity, and you have good intentions to seek stability on the border for ten years." ”

Liu Jian and others hurriedly said yes, but Li Dongyang did not express his position.

"But what the prince did is not wrong, this is the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the border is too far for us to reach.

If the people of their own family are still slaughtered at will by others in the root of the imperial city, the officials and soldiers are indifferent, I am afraid that the hearts of our royal people will be dispersed, right?

Hehe, according to my child, I don't look like me. ”

As soon as these words came out, several ministers, including Zhu Houzhao, looked at each other.

This is a few meanings, is there another hidden meaning in it, the prince is not born to the emperor?

Zhu Houzhao was in his heart:, was it discovered? The things I've done over the years are ridiculous enough, just like Zhu Houzhao recorded in history, right?

It's not easy to be a son these days!

Emperor Hongzhi gasped for a moment, laughed and continued: "This time I did the right thing, as a prince, I should forge ahead, as blazing as the rising sun,

Zhao'er is not like me, and she can't be like me.

Although I have been a monarch of peace for a lifetime, I have also been a nest for a lifetime.

The northern Tatars have been violating the border for many years, but they are suffering from the emptiness of the treasury and cannot resist the enemy outside the country, and the people in the border areas have suffered.

In order to get some money, the taxes of five provinces including Zhejiang in the south were increased, and the people in the south were suffering.

I, the emperor, have done it at both ends. ”

After Hongzhi said this, Liu Jian and the others changed their faces greatly, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor must not be so self-deprecating, I want Your Majesty to recuperate internally for all these years on the throne, and the wounds accumulated back then have gradually healed......

"Don't be relieved anymore, the treasury is still empty, what merit is there?"

Zhu Houzhao listened to it for a long time before he heard such a useful sentence, and immediately jumped up, held his chin and said, "What are you kidding, the treasury is empty?" ”

"There are about 500,000 taels of silver ......"

Zhu Houzhao's hand holding his chin could no longer resist the trend of his chin dropping, 500,000 taels, which was only one or two hundred million yuan when converted into RMB.

Damn, is this really a country? How did you become so poor!
