Chapter 458: Hard and Soft
In the imperial study, Zhu Di squinted at Zheng He who was kneeling on the ground with a dark face, and was silent. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This situation has been going on for a while, and he is thinking about how to persuade Zheng He to lead his troops to battle, and the commander of the sea is only Zheng He, which makes Zhu Di very annoyed. There are invincible warships but there are not enough commanders, and such an oolong thing will actually befall him.
After a long time, Zhu Di withdrew his eyes, sighed lightly and said: "Sanbao, you have followed me since you were a child, you have never made any mistakes in your work, and I have always been good to you, is it that our love for a prince and servant for so long is not comparable to a Tang Ming." ”
Zhu Di is hard but not soft, he wants to use kindness to increase pressure on Zheng He, in order to take down Tang Ming, Zhu Di can be regarded as a means of not compromised.
Hearing this, Zheng He was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Di to say this, but he was only slightly stunned, and then he wanted to understand why the emperor was like this. Secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, judging from Zhu Di's actions, he had made up his mind about Tang Ming.
"The emperor's kindness to the three treasures, the three treasures never dare to forget, and they always remember it, but Tang Ming is also the family of the three treasures, and Xiao Jasmine passed it to the Zheng family. As long as the emperor doesn't embarrass Sanbao and Tang Ming, Sanbao never dares to have the slightest disobedience in other things. The person said that there were indeed many doubts about Tang Ming's rebellion, why couldn't the emperor give that kid a chance to explain clearly? ”
Zheng He's refusal made Zhu Di's face sink again, and an emperor put down his shelf to talk to you, a minion, but he was still ruthlessly rejected bluntly. If this was placed when Zhu Di had not ascended the throne, maybe he would have felt that it was nothing, after all, his mentality would not be like this.
But the world is now Zhu Di's, in order to stabilize the country that he finally got his hands on, and prevent the appearance of ministers with high merit and shock, he had to intentionally or unintentionally let some foreign ministers who followed him to fight the country step down. is like Yao Guangxiao, but Yao Guangxiao has already seen through his mind and offered to quit.
But now Zheng He threatens his position as a monarch, and the most invincible fleet and navy in the world are in his hands. At this moment, Zhu Di is more aware that Zheng He's power at sea is far greater than that of him, the emperor, although he has withdrawn his military power, but now the fleet that has spent a lot of money and countless efforts is also equivalent to invalidation, Zhu Di is naturally unwilling.
"Tang Ming's rebellion has become a fact, where did the suspicions come from, the casualties of the officers and soldiers and the forbidden army, are these just illusory. Without further ado, I will ask you again now, do you want to bring troops to arrest Tang Ming? Zhu Di, who lost his patience, gave Zheng He an ultimatum.
Zheng He had a resolute look on his face, shook his head and refused again. Zhu Di's eyes were round and his face was full of murderous aura, obviously he had faintly moved to Zheng He at this moment. Zheng He was not timid at all, and did not give in to Zhu Di's murderous eyes.
In terms of kindness, he Zheng He is not sorry for Zhu Di at all, he has been conscientious since he was by his side, and he made a lot of great contributions to him when he was in trouble. And now that time has passed, Zhu Di is talking about the old love, but what he does is a little bit like he is thinking about the old love.
Now he is even more forced to break with his family, anyone who encounters this thing will be angry, not to mention that he is a eunuch, and it is not easy to look forward to a descendant who makes him happy, so naturally he will not lose this fate and do any bullshit bastard thing that harms his family.
Zhu Di did have a murderous intent towards Zheng He for a moment just now, but he was worried that if he killed Zheng He under such circumstances, he would inevitably fall into the mouth. For this reason, he had to press down his murderous intent and let Zheng He be taken down, and he was still under house arrest in the harem.
At this point, the long-term relationship between Zhu Di and Zheng He can be regarded as coming to an end, and it is only a matter of minutes for Zhu Di to kill Zheng He. What he lacks is just an excuse, even Yao Guangxiao is the same, but Yao Guangxiao is obviously much older when he comes back this time, Zhu Di didn't kill him, but it is certain that Yao Guangxiao will not end well in the end.
Zhu Di was frustrated again by Zheng He, but he obviously didn't want to stop there, Tang Ming would never let go, since Zheng He, the governor, couldn't do it, then he naturally had to hit his cronies. Zheng He's fleet had thirteen left and right arms, and they were his most relied on subordinates, and they were usually responsible for commanding the fleet.
Zhu Di ordered all thirteen of these people to be recruited to the palace, and met with interviews one by one in his imperial study, and in the end, he really pried three of them. After Xu Yi's high-ranking officials were served, they were asked to prepare to go to Ryukyu Island to encircle and suppress Tang Ming, saying that after the matter was completed, who could bring Tang Ming's head to see him, and this invincible fleet of the Ming Dynasty would be under his control in the future.
The people who were willing to betray Zheng He naturally happily agreed, and the remaining ten people, Zhu Di, showed no mercy and ordered the guards to secretly execute them. The three people who betrayed Zheng He naturally would not let go of the former henchmen of the superintendent, of course, including those who did not like them before.
In this way, not long after Zheng He's fleet returned from its voyage, the Great Purge began in the fleet, and nearly a thousand men who did not die on the journey finally died under the butcher's knife of their own people. Three days later, the three of them consolidated their position in the fleet, and after a little replenishment, they set sail and headed for Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island.
Zheng He may not have known that his fleet had been completely replaced, but Tang Ming had been on the outskirts of Nanjing City for the past two days, and he could see clearly what was happening in the Treasure Shipyard from beginning to end. After Zhu Di's actions, Tang Ming still didn't understand anything, this must be determined to have a life-and-death battle with himself.
But Tang Ming was not nervous about this at all, and just ordered Fei Xin to go back first to take precautions, but he still stayed in Nanjing City, and had already received news from Zhu Gaochi in the morning. Tonight he is going to bring Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao out, and Zhu Di's actions just helped Tang Ming persuade Zheng He to leave Daming as well.
The treasure shipyard is gone, and now his only fleet has also been taken by Zhu Di, and even those cronies have been killed, in such a situation. Tang Ming didn't believe that Zheng He could endure it, even if he was stubborn, he should have woken up. And as long as Zheng He appeared in his fleet at that time, Tang Ming believed that his old subordinates would dare to be presumptuous to him when they saw him.
No matter how he calculated, Tang Ming felt that he had the chance to win, so he had nothing to worry about, as long as he could ensure that Zheng He could be picked up smoothly tonight, even if he completed the task, and Zhu Di would be doomed to fail again. (To be continued.) )
