Chapter 358: The Holy Driver Leaves the Palace
readx;
Zhu Youzhang's mind couldn't be clearer, and the case is over, saving you a lot of dreams at night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His thoughts are the same as the cabinet, and the cabinet is also afraid of making things bigger, although the current court is not eventful, but more things are better than less things, isn't it? So many years have passed, and I don't know how many emperors have changed from Emperor Wen to now, hasn't the son been the same?
Poking a hornet's nest is going to happen, and if there is trouble, someone has to deal with the aftermath, and in the end, it is not the cabinet that will clean up the aftermath? Besides, this matter involves a border town, which is not very fun, and the imperial court has always been taboo about matters involving border towns, and this thing is taboo.
Liu Jian said: "Then when the dust settles on this matter, the old minister will immediately make a note." ”
Zhu Youzhu took a sip of ginseng tea, refreshed his mind, and nodded: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh." There is another thing, what should be drawn up still has to be drawn up. Liu Chengfeng put on a recital a few days ago, I think you must have read it, and the things in this recital are also simple, that is, if the student army wins this time, what reward should the court give. This guy ......" Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but laugh, and said: "This battle hasn't been fought yet, and there is no score for the victory, so I want to ask for benefits, and I have to lose him to think about it, but I think that if he loses, how should he give me an explanation." ”
Liu Jian hadn't read this recital, and his eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.
But Li Dongyang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty, there is such a thing, this recital is the first thing Weichen saw, but this kind of bastard recital, Wechen didn't take it seriously, and handed it directly to the General Administration Department and handed it to the emperor, in fact, this matter is just a joke, don't take it seriously, Liu Chengfeng is still less nonsense?"
Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, I see, no wonder I haven't read this book.
Li Dongyang's words made everyone feel relaxed, it is not unheard of that there are thick-skinned people in this world, but it is really unheard of to have such a thick skin as Liu Chengfeng. Zhu Youzhu thought for a while and said: "You can't say that, if Liu Chengfeng wants to ask for credit for himself, it will be just a joke, but Liu Chengfeng is asking for credit for the student army, if the court ignores it, what will outsiders think?" If he really wins this time, he will not be too rewarded. However, when the prince entered the palace a few days ago, he said that there was no need for any silver rewards, let alone adding officials to the knighthood, as long as the imperial court gave the student army a name. The benefits they are asking for are nothing, and am I still stingy with a name? But how to give this title, I still have to think about it, if it can really win a big victory. There must be no disadvantage. ”
Zhu Youzhu set the tone, but the hearts of the three ministers were all lively, and they only felt that the emperor's words seemed to be deliberately said to them, and they were given a preventive shot. What name? In fact, it is to get the cabinet to officially recognize the existence of the student army, and this student army no longer has to be hung in the name of the commercial house and become the armed force of the Ming Dynasty.
And agreeing to this is tantamount to acquiescing to the emperor's plan to expand the armament, and even accepting a new national policy.
Liu Jian couldn't help frowning, wanting to say something. At this time, it was not good to sweep Zhu Youzhang's interest, and besides, whether the student army won or lost or both, now it is fiercely opposed, but it is not beautiful. The surname Suo is going to be a favor today, and he will agree to come down for the time being, and when the student army is defeated, His Majesty is embarrassed to mention this matter again, as for the victory...... Liu Jian shook his head in his heart. It's easier said than done. I'm afraid that there is not even a possibility of 12 out of 12, what do you want to do.
Zhu Youzhu saw that the ministers didn't speak. couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then this matter is finalized, it's not too early, the three Aiqing will go to the cabinet duty room to sit down first, I will rest first, and then accompany me to watch the battle." ”
Liu Jian and the three of them got up to say goodbye, but Zhu Youzhu did not rest, but took a bath, put on court clothes, wore a crown of heaven, cheered up, called a eunuch, and ordered: "Prepare to drive, have all the civil and military officials arrived?" ”
The emperor wants to leave the palace, how can the officials not come to accompany him? The eunuch replied, "All are ready, and they are all waiting outside the Daming Gate." ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded: "Let's go." ”
The Son of Heaven went out on patrol, the Daming Gate was opened at this time, the city gate that had not been opened for a long time was still very bright, a team of guards appeared in various colors, the twelve commands of the Jingwei Envoy Yamen, all of them sent out manpower, Jinyi Guard, Jinwu avant-garde, Fu Junwei, Tiger Ben Left Guard have been dispatched, bright armor, sharp knives and guns, and a team of eunuchs, palace people, have been waiting for a long time at this time.
Outside the Daming Gate are hundreds of civil and military officials wearing court uniforms, waiting with bated breath one by one, occasionally a flying horse gallops through the royal road on the side of the hundred officials, holding a flag, and constantly singing: "The car is coming, the ministers are quiet!" ”
As he was talking, in the doorway, an eight-horse carriage slowly came out, surrounded by guards holding flags, as soon as the car arrived, everyone shouted long live, and a eunuch sang: "Licheng, the emperor has a will, and all the secretaries will go out of the ......palace together."
The chariot has passed the Daming Gate, and the various guards lined up on the side of the road are following in a mighty manner, those who are in charge of the golden drum and flag, the full-time commander, the halo book, the guard of honor, and the guards with knives, the captain who holds the spear, the powerful Han general, the officials who are called at any time before driving, a cadre, etc., there is no other sound except for the friction of the armor, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of heavy breathing.
From Daming Gate to Zhengyang Gate, the streets along the way have been full of military horses of the 12 Yamen of Jingwei, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, this is not counting, there are more horse-riding horses galloping through this street like a gallop, just in case, back and forth inspection.
The shops along the way, Shuntianfu has been informed, they are not allowed to open today, they are not allowed to open their windows to look, and they are not allowed to wander on the streets.
This kind of disturbance to the people was already planned by Zhu Youzhu and the cabinet, disturbing the people is disturbing the people, but so many vassal envoys are here, and there is always a need to have face, so that these vassal envoys can see the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
There are political considerations here, although face is one thing, but the vassal has always been like this, seeing that you are so deceitful, you will not accept the king. Seeing that you are strong, they obediently obeyed, and did not let them know a little bit of the majesty of the Celestial Empire, how could they yearn for it and fear it?
Behind the team of hundreds of officials, the envoys of various countries were also invited, seeing this scene, I couldn't help but secretly staggered, in front of the car was a team of 3,000 iron horses, the iron horses in front of the knife, the horses' hooves rumbled, as if the green bricks of this royal road were going to be broken.
Behind the car, in addition to the guards holding the halogen book, honor guard, and flag, there is also a team of 800 foot soldiers, although the sword is in the sheath, but the momentum that bursts out of this burst also makes people fearful.
The guards on both sides are three or five steps and one post, extending to the end of the royal road, such a big battle, they have never seen it in their lives. The strength of this Ming Dynasty can be seen today.
The mighty team went straight to Zhengyangmen, Zhengyangmen city tower, a team of elite soldiers poked their heads out, each holding bows and arrows, firearms, etc., the whole body was on guard, first a eunuch rode to the city tower, shouting: "The emperor drove to the ......"
Up and down the tower, countless people bowed down on their knees, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor......" The voice resounded in the sky, straight into the nine heavens.
The eunuch listened, and then sat on his horse and sang: "Licheng, edict: everyone, wait, be careful!" ”
"Yes!" The crowd shouted, and then they got up in an uproar.
The car stopped steadily under the city tower, and a eunuch helped Zhu Youzhu out of the car, Zhu Youzhu stepped on a high stool and fell to the ground, glanced left and right, and saw that the city tower was full of bright and dazzling armor guards, countless flags were displayed, and everywhere the eyes passed, everyone bowed their heads to him, and the night's sleepiness dissipated in a moment, and called an official who drove before the car and said: "Go upstairs." ”
The official immediately went to pass on the message, and after a while, the inspector of the gate with a knife on his waist led a cadre of generals to Zhu Youjiao's door, bowed down on one knee, and said, "Please go upstairs." ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded his head, and went up the dark ladder of the city tower first, and a team of guards and military attaches accompanied him, following suit.
On the tower of this city, the flags are lined up, they have already been renovated, leaning against the back of the female wall, the table and chair have been placed, Zhu Youzhu sits on the chair, through the female wall, you can see the urn city, the open space under the urn city has been swept, and it is revealed in front of Zhu Youzhang's eyes at a glance.
The towers of the city of Urn City are also lined with guards standing still, extremely solemn.
Immediately afterwards, some important ministers and envoys of the vassal kingdom also went up to the city tower, and those who could sit on the highest floor of the city tower with Zhu Youzhu's side were naturally extremely close ministers, even the prince had already arrived, accompanied by Zhu Youzhang's side, Zhu Youzhu glanced at him, but didn't say anything, just hugged the new tea and covered his hands a little cold.
In the rest of the city towers, the officials sat down one after another according to the size of the official rank.
At this time, the student army and the tent guards of the tile spur had not yet arrived, so Zhu Youzhu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Pass the tent avant-garde and the student army." ”
"Biography...... Tent avant-garde, student army ......"
The eunuchs sang in a hissing voice...... Immediately afterwards, the guard, who had taken the command flag, immediately turned over and gave the order quickly...... Zhu Youzhu sat high on the city tower, and the eunuch on the side was afraid that the wind would be strong here, so he quietly moved closer, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I will have to wait a little longer, it's cold here, and the wind is strong, why don't you rest first?" ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled, and pointed at the guards everywhere arrogantly: "They are not afraid, why should I be afraid of the wind and cold?" ”
