"The second son is cautious." An old general stood up and shouted in a deep voice, although it was to stop Yang Neng, saving him from saying more things that should not be said, but the people present, who didn't understand, compared with the two, everyone felt that their faces were slightly hot, dignified and Ming, in the treatment of their own emperor's Taidu, even the Thorn Thorn, who had always been regarded as a barbarian and mortal enemy by Daming, could not compare, how could people not feel ashamed?

"Muma's, our Huanghuang Daming is known as the Heavenly Empire, all nations come to the dynasty, which of the vassals does not praise my Daming benevolence, and the Chinese etiquette and bearing are the best in the world. I don't want to say it today, I actually happened in front of Rong Di, and I was really embarrassed and lost to a foreign country. Luo Hengxin, a stubborn old man, couldn't help but be full of anger.

Think about what the Emperor has done since the defeat of Tumubao, and then compare it with what he did today, it is really different, I really don't know what Zhu Qizhen thought at the beginning. As soon as he thought of this, Luo Hengxin hated Wang Zhen even more because of the dust that had turned into dust, if it weren't for the eunuch, the Ming Dynasty would have the turmoil and changes it is today.

Seeing everyone's faces flushed, discussing and communicating in a low voice, Luo Hengxin couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and waited for everyone in the room to turn their eyes before speaking. "Today, in front of the foreign envoy, Liu Shanzhong made disrespectful remarks to the emperor and talked about national politics in vain, and he should be punished, and the old man will talk to the Son of Heaven in a while."

"The boss is reasonable, and we will also go to the court to tell the story of the matter." Zhu Qizhen had a smile on his face and bowed slightly, but he kept thinking in his heart, since he slapped his good brother's face viciously, he was afraid that he would not give up, and what he should do next, he needed to make a decision as soon as possible.

After the officials said goodbye and left, Zhu Qizhen invited Luo Hengxin to stay in the palace for a banquet, and quietly ordered the two Yang Gongzi and Wang Jinchang, not a lot of effort, these three people quietly returned to Zhu Qizhen's palace, although I don't know what Zhu Qizhen called them to do, but it has come to this point, even if they jump out and say that they are not the emperor's party, I am afraid that no one in the world wants to believe it, at least the Son of Heaven in Beijing will not believe it, Now they can only serve Zhu Qizhen willingly.

Luo Hengxin just took a few sips of wine, and when he saw Wang Jinchang and the other three going and returning, he couldn't help but be stunned, but Luo Hengxin, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, didn't show too many expressions, just greeted these three, and his eyes fell on Zhu Qizhen again, I really wanted to see what Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, wanted?

-------------------- Zhu Qizhen didn't talk nonsense, and after the three of them sat down, he straightened out the front of the dragon robe and said: "Three Aiqing, I didn't expect that I would have trouble with my imperial brother to this step, I don't have to worry about it, but I have suffered from you talented people who are conscientious and serve the Ming Dynasty." "Zhu Qizhen's words are indeed a feeling, if it weren't for his identity as the emperor, he could play conspiracy and tricks, how could these three elite generals of Daming Border Town fall into their own trap?

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the three of them looked at each other, the bitterness in their hearts was really unspeakable, Luo Hengxin still looked like an old god, but in fact, he was secretly frightened, and he couldn't imagine that these three people seemed to be regarded as confidants by the emperor, but they stayed here, I was afraid that it was ......, "Your Majesty the Emperor, in fact, the ministers are willing to do these things, because the emperor is for my Ming dynasty, not for his own selfishness." Yang Xin raised his head, his expression was firm and decisive, and he replied without hesitation.

"I know you're good, but it's a pity ......" Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over the three in front of him, and he couldn't help but groan.

"If the emperor is inconvenient, the old minister will leave first." Luo Hengxin saw Zhu Qizhen pondering and was silent, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Zhu Qizhen saw Luo Hengxin's expression, and naturally understood what he was thinking, he smiled, and said to Luo Hengxin: "Luo Lao Aiqing, you sit wide, there are some things, I will make it clear to you today, I know that Luo Lao Aiqing and the old Shangshu Wang Zhi of the Ministry are close friends, and they are entrusting you with something." ”

"Please also ask the emperor to make it clear." Luo Hengxin had no choice but to pause and replied respectfully.

"I know that when I do this today, it is clearly a confession of his attitude, and I don't want to see me return to Beijing." Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath. "He has worries in his heart, I know this very well, and I understand it very well, since he doesn't want me to go back, then it's okay if I don't return to Jingshi."

Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but change color in unison, and Luo Hengxin's old face turned pale: "The emperor can't help it, you are the dignity of the emperor, how can you live in a place like a border town for a long time, if you have a case, it will be difficult for the ministers to forgive their sins." ”

"Old Aiqing, don't worry, you listen to me." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but persuade gently, and after seeing Luo Hengxin calm down a little, he cleared his throat and said: "Since I was taken captive in Tumubao, I have learned from the pain, and I know that I am just a frog at the bottom of a well, I don't know the suffering of the people, and I don't know the general trend of the world.

Cheng said that he only knew that he listened to the bewitchment of the eunuchs, and thought that he would sing and dance under the great tomorrow, and all the nations would come to the dynasty, and he was still living in the glory of the ancestors and the ancestors, and he didn't know the changes in the world, and the Ming Dynasty was already in crisis......"

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, saw that the four of them were listening attentively, and continued: "Decades of stability have made the people and civil and military forces of my Ming Dynasty almost forget that Rong Di of Mobei has invaded the south when the ancestor and his old man were in power. There is often an ambition to look at the south and drink horses in the Central Plains. ”

"In the past, there was Yang Hong and Yang Lao Aiqing, the general of the Ming Dynasty, who guarded the Xuanfu, trained elite soldiers, built forts, and Luo Lao Aiqing governed the people's livelihood and soothed the people's hearts...... Qing and Yang Hong made the territory of the Ming Dynasty more than ten years of Antai, and they should be the first to make the first contribution. Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Luo Hengxin, who was already moved, and said earnestly.

Hearing this, both the Yang brothers and Luo Hengxin couldn't help but be moved. The ministers of the DPRK and China, although they know that the border town is the key point of the Ming Dynasty, is located in the borderland, and they need to be vigilant against the old enemies of the Ming Dynasty from time to time, and they also have to govern the people's livelihood internally and repair the armor soldiers outside. Protect the inner domain of the Ming Dynasty.

But such a monstrous feat, in the eyes of the ministers of the court, seems to be very normal, very ordinary, do not go through the border towns, do not know the strength of the border towns, do not go through the border towns, and know the hardships of the border towns. The ministers who have experienced side affairs in the DPRK have long since passed away, and the ministers of Zhishi, the pensioners of the elderly, and the nobles in the army have long since faded the spirit and courage of the early years, and the rest is to rely on the grace of their ancestors and fathers to eat their old capital.

Only these old guys who are in the border town and know that they are struggling to support them. But even so, it often makes the ministers of the DPRK and China attack, and often talks about the old yellow calendar at the time of the ancestors.

It's okay not to mention it, Zhu Qizhen mentioned it like this, Luo Hengxin's eyes suddenly turned red, and he bowed to the ground. "Your Majesty, Border Town...... It's bitter. The Yang brothers and Wang Jinchang also had hot eyes and fell to the ground with their bows.

-------------------- Zhu Qizhen wanted to get up and help him, but Na Luo Hengxin was reluctant to get up. "The old minister is now over the age of six, and he has long been exhausted, if it weren't for the safety of my Daming border town, why bother to let those imperial historians criticize the old minister's corpse and not go? Today, the old minister has a lot of words in his heart, and he doesn't vomit or be unhappy, if he doesn't say it again, I'm afraid that after that, he won't have a chance......"

"Lao Aiqing just talk about it, I'm listening here, Yuan Bin, quickly go get a pen and paper, and write down the boss's insights for future inquiries." Zhu Qizhen's cautious attitude made Luo Hengxin feel greatly relieved, and he lifted his spirits at the moment, and carefully described what he had heard and seen in the border town over the years.

The border towns of the Ming Dynasty have a long history, starting from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty in the grassland. The Northern Yuan, who fled to the northern frontier, still harassed from time to time, seriously threatening the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In order to consolidate the northern frontier, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, repeatedly sent generals to the north, and at the same time, he also divided his son Zhu Di and Zhu Quan to garrison the northern border fortress. During the Hongwu period, only locally-born soldiers and guilty soldiers were allowed to guard the border, and the army in the interior was mobilized when there was something on the border, which was called the guest army.

When it came to Chengzu, Chengzu, who often went north to the grassland, thought that it was difficult to give Yuanmeng a blow of destruction with the power of the border fortress alone, so he ordered the troops in the interior to take turns to defend the border, called the border class, first, to increase the strength of the border towns, ensure the safety of the rear, so that they can calmly use troops against the grassland.

Second, taking turns to defend the border can not only maintain the strength of the border towns enough to protect the rear, but also maintain the combat effectiveness of the armies in the Ming Dynasty when there is no war in the country.

However, what Cheng Zu didn't expect was that although the border class brought benefits, these soldiers who took turns to fight on the border often thought about returning and did not want to suffer from the cold there, and gradually the number of border soldiers fleeing gradually increased.

The Tuntian system of the Ming Border Army has also begun to be destroyed since Xuande and Orthodoxy, and the princes, eunuchs, and officers stationed in the border towns have all vied to occupy the Tuntian, and the soldiers have cultivated for them, and the soldiers are unbearable and abused, and there are more people who have fled.

Luo Hengxin, the governor of Xuanda, was well aware of the seriousness of the problem, and was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the eunuchs and their private parties.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's face was so blue that he was extremely frightened, his eyes were shining with fierce light, and there was really an indescribable indignation in his heart, your sister, the soldiers who fought to the death, and the people who worked hard in the border town, couldn't even maintain the basic living security, those noble vassal kings, as well as those dead eunuchs, and some military generals with corrupt morals, actually did this, so that Zhengda showed his ambitions, and was ready to use Xuanfu as a base to counterattack Zhu Qizhen, who was not annoyed, how not to hate? !
