Qianqing Palace Warm Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi is generally here to review the folds, at this moment he is watching a copy of the Yansui Town Governor Chen Shou played the Tatar fire sieve department of the urgent recital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Yansui Town was in charge of the entire Hetao, but later the Ming Dynasty's military strength declined, and it had to abandon the Hetao area and withdraw the outer guard post back to the Guannei. The Hetao area was occupied by the Warat and Tatar tribes, and the town of Yansui also became the place where the Ming Dynasty and the Mongol tribes fought most frequently. Nowadays, the Hetao area has become the place where the Tatar fire sieve department is stationed for grazing, and the fire sieve department often offends the side, fighting the autumn wind of the Ming Dynasty. Now that it is the autumn harvest, the fire sieve department has come to grab grain again.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning when he looked at the cabinet's proposal that it was only required to be strictly guarded and not to attack. He hoped to take the initiative, but the cabinet and the ministers did not want the imperial court to make a big move, but only asked the towns in the northwest to strictly defend it. Only Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said that he hoped to reset the trilateral system and strengthen the attack on the Mongol tribes, but the other ministers did not agree to attack.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't, so he had to shake his head and approve the cabinet vote.

……

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly rushed into the Qianqing Palace, and without waiting for the eunuchs to report, he drove straight to the warm pavilion.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao coming in, his tightly knit brows couldn't help but show, and he said with a smile: "Houzhao is here!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said eagerly: "Father, it was the idea of his sons to leave the palace yesterday, Zhong Shiyu, Liu Jin, and Gu Dayong persuaded me, and I insisted on going out of the palace to relax." They are all people around me, you have destroyed them all, who will dare to follow me in the future? ”

Hongji laughed when he heard this, he sat down slowly, glared at his son and said, "Do you know the protector?" Hum! Don't I know how you're messing around? If it weren't for people like that, I don't think you would have been able to think of all this nonsense. People like Gu Dayong and Liu Jin only know how to please you, and make some little tricks that are not on the stage to play, and it is also appropriate to teach them a lesson."

Zhu Houzhao listened to his father's calm tone, and couldn't help but smile reassuringly, he sat next to Hongzhi, and couldn't help but salivate and pull Hongzhi's arm and begged: "That...... What about Zhong Shiyu? He is a scholar who has no power to restrain his chickens, and he can't stand the beating, and besides, he tried his best to dissuade me from leaving the palace! Don't hit him, right? ”

The fantastical stories told by Zhong Yu are no less attractive to Zhu Houzhao than the juggling circus of Liu Jin and others, which is a world he has never been exposed to, and he never even dreamed that in addition to Daming, there are so many colorful places in the world, although they have not known each other for a long time, Zhu Houzhao, who has been an only child since childhood, has long regarded Zhong Yu as his eldest brother-like relative.

Zhong Yu served the prince, did not talk about the four books and five classics, only talked about the mountains and rivers, customs, and even the affairs of foreign countries, Emperor Hongzhi had his own ears and eyes, and he had already known in advance. However, Hongji himself was quite good at music and painting, and his courtiers often repeatedly commented on this, fearing that the emperor would delay this and miss government affairs. Every time Hongji heard it, he just laughed it off, thinking that it was a sour opinion, so he didn't think much of the prince's erudition.

In his mind, Zhong Yu is quite famous in Qingzhou, but just a song "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" shows his talent, and his talent is extraordinary. And he didn't speak the words of a sage, but he started from the sideways, thinking that he also knew the prince's temperament, so he gave up 'reading thousands of books' and used the method of 'traveling thousands of miles' to teach the prince, which was quite painstaking, so he was quite appreciative.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted: "Zhong Yu...... This person is a Yunwen Yunwu can be made of materials, this person is quite famous in Qingzhou, and the poetry is also very good, and the poetry and scriptures must also be extremely proficient. But he knew that the emperor didn't like those preaching that were looking for a book, so he told you the stories you liked, so he let you learn things, well, not a stupid stunned young man, I like it very much. Don't underestimate him as a scholar, he also has a lot of insights in military affairs. The first time he saw me, he proposed a lot of strategies for pacifying the war, and I handed over some of his strategies to the military department for review, and many of Liu Daxia from the strategic military department were full of praise when they saw it. The Ministry of War sorted out some of his strategies and handed them over to Lu Longxu, the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan and the general soldier of the Ping Wa Army, to carry them out. ”

If Zhong Yu knew that Emperor Hongzhi had such a high opinion of him, he would definitely be grateful and shout out to his confidant!

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Yes, Zhong Shiyu does have quite an insight into military strategy and tactics, and these days he is meeting his sons and daughters to deduce war examples all day long." Moreover, Zhong Shiyu also has a lot of research on ordnance, and the clairvoyance and sand table were invented by him, and Weichen thinks it is quite practical! And Zhong Shiyu still has a lot of suggestions for improving the musket, and said that if he is equipped with a musketeer built according to his requirements, it is enough to fight against the same amount of Mongolian iron cavalry! ”

In the past few days, Zhong Yu has been discussing martial affairs and deducing war examples with the prince all day long, and Emperor Hongzhi naturally knows about it. One relaxation, leniency and strictness, is the way of civil and military. Emperor Hongzhi realized that now that the Ming Dynasty is in his own hands, the whole world is Yanran, and the people are healthy. But the days of relaxation are too much, and it is difficult to tighten them. Emperor Hongzhi did not envy the martial arts of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wen, but every time Emperor Hongzhi's idea of expanding his territory and pursuing martial arts appeared, the courtiers came to extinguish it one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his body was gradually failing, and now he broke off this thought. But seeing that his prince is quite fond of martial arts, he has some ideas, doing Zhou Wen and Han Wen by himself, laying a rich foundation for his son, maybe he can achieve his own son, let his son have the opportunity to be Zhou Wu and Han Wu, and let his son achieve Ming Wu that shines in the annals of history. It was Emperor Hongzhi who did not have much objection to Zhong Yu and Zhu Houzhao studying martial arts. If you want to achieve the glorious Ming Wu, you must naturally be familiar with martial arts.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed lightly: "Well, this person is extraordinary in literature and military attainments. Now that the six Shangshu of the court and the central government are all dying, and several scholars are not young, my father feels that if this person is tempered again, he will be my son's powerful arm in the future. ”。

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say strangely: "Since the father likes him, why does he still want him?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao lovingly, and said gently: "The emperor is not young now, and some imperial mental techniques should also be learned." The way of the king is naturally to be gracious and powerful. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, not only to let the courtiers have grace, but also to let them have a sense of awe, so that he understands that honor, disgrace and grace are all in the emperor's thoughts. Hehe, this person is young and reckless, he likes to use tricks to take risks, if he doesn't go through some tempering, the young man is ambitious, and he is self-assured and intelligent, and it is inevitable that he will have no one in his eyes. ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed, and said as if he didn't understand: "It turns out ...... The father wants to grind the bell and read, just like ...... It's like a retainer who makes an eagle boil, only by grinding off its wildness can he make him bow down and obey orders. The father is the same with Zhong Shiyu, the more he wants to use him, the more he has to toss him and make him obedient, right? But why did my father remove his companion reading, the son likes Zhong Shi to read to me very much! ”

Emperor Hongzhi saw that his son's previous words seemed to understand his own meaning, but the latter words were a little naïve, and he couldn't help but smile at Zhu Houzhao with kindness: "The king's thunder is not all beating with a court staff, this removal and demotion is naturally part of the thunder!" ”

Zhu Houzhao listened to his father's words, and nodded as if he didn't understand, but then remembered Zhong Yu and Liu Jingu's wailing and begging when they were taken away to be tortured, and couldn't help but say again: "Then can my father hone in another way?" This court staff will kill people, even if it can't be killed, it's not good to be disabled, but Zhong Shiyu is still very useful? ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Don't worry, it's just a small punishment, and I won't kill them." This is already the lightest punishment, hmph, they dare to take you in and out of the land of fireworks, and there are not many deaths! ”
