On the sixteenth day of the first month, the first time I went to court after the spring break, there was a quarrel in the court.

Zhu Zhanji proposed that Hu Yanjin, the young James of his James Mansion, in the process of receiving envoys from all countries in the southern capital, handled emergencies properly and quelled disputes between neighboring countries, which was really a great achievement, and he should be promoted to the position of Sanpin James, and the original Cheng James, who was transferred to the guest of Sanpin Taisun.

The officials of the James Mansion of the crown prince and grandson were mainly based on their own recommendations, but for officials above the third grade, Zhu Di had to review them, and Zhu Zhanji's proposal Zhu Di naturally did not object.

The Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites handed over a series of petitions from the Six Emperors Sun Fengwang, which were all made according to the routine, and there were no violations or special places, and Zhu Di quickly approved them.

Only a fold handed over by the Ministry of War caused controversy among the ministers.

Zhao Xianyu, the secretary of the military department, to:

"Your Majesty, last year's Mongolian snow disaster, they have gathered their forces again, in a vain attempt to advance to our Ming border, please send troops to the north, destroy this Mongolian bandits, and raise the prestige of our country!"

"Qi Qi Emperor, the emperor has two personal expeditions, majestic and fruitful, and the minister implores the emperor to personally conquer again, destroy Mongolia in one fell swoop, and remove the threat of the northern border of our Ming Dynasty. This would also reduce the pressure on the vassal king, and he would not have to expand his armament for a long time. ”

The one who stood up and said this was really Wei Qian, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, and the last sentence he said touched Zhu Di.

Zhu Di has long had the intention of cutting off the armed forces of the vassal king, but it was because of the cutting of the vassal that he rebelled under the banner of "Qingjun's side", and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But if a few northern expeditions can collapse the powerful northern enemy Mongols, then he can start with the northern vassal kings and gradually weaken their armed forces in the name of justice.

Wei Qian, it won my heart!

"Continue to explore the movements of the main force of the Mongolian army, once the military situation is detailed, I will immediately wave my army north, destroy the main force of the Mongolian army in one fell swoop, completely disintegrate the Mongolian army, prevent their resurgence, and restore peace to our Ming border."

"Your Majesty, you must not go to the army again!"

As soon as Zhu Di's words fell, Chen Qia and Li Qing immediately came out to dissuade them, and the emperor was gone for a few months, although he took King Han and King Zhao with him, which did relieve some pressure on the crown prince of the country, but the cronies of King Han and King Zhao, and even the power of the emperor's grandson, did not let him worry.

There were ministers taking the lead, and half of the ministers above the hall knelt down.

Fang Shizheng looked left and right, and said:

"Qi to the emperor, the minister has the emperor's trust, in charge of finance, the minister thinks, once again the emperor is not only not good for the emperor's safety, the treasury is also difficult to support, the imperial court has built the imperial city in the past two years, repaired the canal, has basically hollowed out the original family foundation, plus several northern expeditions, the treasury is really unsustainable, please think twice!"

Zhu Di replied coldly: "I know in my heart, this Northern Expedition, I will solve the external troubles in the north once and for all, the stability of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner, you just try your best to do a good job in the supply of grain and grass." ”

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi glanced at each other, they knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and it was useless to say more, so they could only choose to remain silent.

Zhu Di didn't look at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and stood up with a flick of his sleeves.

"Retreat!"

Zhu Zhanji sighed secretly, the emperor's grandfather was martial by nature, and when he got older, he became very happy again. I knew the real situation of last year's personal expedition, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but there were no tangible results.

Only once the main force of the Mongolian army was still just chasing the wind and shadows, and the emperor's grandfather said that he would drive the expedition in person, isn't this a poor toss?

Wei Qian left the palace and was just about to get into the carriage, when he saw Zhao Qian bowing his hand to him from afar, he also returned the salute and lifted the curtain to get into the carriage.

In the carriage, Yi Chengjin was waiting for him.

"How? Did the emperor agree to the Northern Expedition? Yi Chengjin saw the smile on Wei Qian's face and knew that this question was redundant.

Wei Qian nodded: "It's done." ”

The father and son discussed for two days and felt that only when the situation was chaotic would they have a chance.

The emperor is here, and the future is fixed. But what if the emperor is not there?

Zhao Li didn't have any handle, but his family's handle was a big handful. It is said that last year, when the emperor went on a northern expedition to Mongolia, Zhao Ji, the youngest son of Zhao Ji, used his father's relationship to get the right to supply grain and grass.

The emperor hates corruption the most, although Zhao Ji has no hands, but if Zhao Ji's head is found, where can Zhao Ji get involved?

What's more, Zhao Mian also won the emperor's commendation because of the timely supply of grain and grass. It's just a deception!

After a showdown between the two, Zhao Li agreed to fabricate a phantom of the main Mongolian force and encourage the emperor to go on another expedition. He only has to mention it, and the emperor doesn't accept it, and there is no loss to him.

Hu Yanjin was caught off guard, so he received a promotion order and became a James of the Taisun James Mansion. Especially when he learned from Xiao Zhong that the prince categorically rejected Zhang Cairen and the county lord of Yanping in order to protect him, he suddenly made a decision in his heart.

The entanglements and contradictions in my heart were instantly replaced by a crazy thought like spring grass:

Stand with the emperor's grandson!

He believed in his own judgment that Zhu Zhanji was more suitable than Yi Chengjin to be the ruler of this empire, and he was more convinced that the stability needed by the people of the Ming Dynasty was not the fire of war ignited by the struggle for imperial power.

Mr. Wu, Master Fang, Xu Zhijin, and even the abbot of Anguo Temple in Xu Zhijin's mouth, their words are like a hammer that keeps beating, refining Hu Yanjin's heart into steel.

However, he could neither confess to the imperial grandson, nor could he turn his face with Yi Chengjin and his father, Hu Yanjin was like a helpless stalker, holding on to the little light in his heart in the darkness.

Compared with Hu Yanjin's hesitant progress, Zhu Zhanpei looked particularly proud.

The palace was quickly cleaned up, and the plaque of "Lu Wangfu" was also hung up by the Internal Affairs Office. What surprised Zhu Zhanpei the most was that Lin Longfeng actually summoned a team of twenty palace guards in such a short period of time.

"Lord Wang, the guards have already started training, and these twenty people can be used as the backbone of the guards, and before May, they can be expanded to ninety." The upper limit of the number of guards in the Ming Palace's palace is 100, and 90 people is basically the maximum force boundary.

Lin Longfeng had already changed into the leather soft armor of the Lu Wangfu general, and he looked energetic. As the chief of the palace guard, he also entered the official register and received the rank of five-rank military general.

Regarding Zhu Zhanpei's killing, his duty is to monitor Zhu Zhanpei and take action according to Yi Chengjin's instructions at any time.

Zhu Zhanpei's celebration of the opening of the palace, according to his own wishes, was held with great fanfare shortly after the New Year. Because of his current status, the imperial grandson and a dozen or so people from the imperial grandchildren all went to the mansion to watch the ceremony.

The security outside the mansion was heavily guarded, and the mansion was crowded, and Zhu Zhanpei felt the attention that he had never seen before, the attention of the princess and his sister-in-law.

Luo Changshi of King Lu's Mansion was personally selected by Zhu Gaochi, this son grew up without taking care of himself since he was a child, and Zhu Gaochi deliberately chose an old man to assist him. Luo Changshi also brought a lot of rewards from Zhu Gaochi, which also added a lot of color to the Lu Palace.

Just when the nobles in the hall gave the six emperors Sun Daoxi, the rewards of the imperial concubine and the crown princess in the palace also came down, and there were two palace maids who came with them.

When the two entered the house, they both covered their faces with red scarves. As soon as the palace maid came, in the joking laughter of the emperors and grandchildren, she was led to the backyard by the grandmother and waited for the summons of the six emperors and grandsons in order to teach the emperor and grandson how to become a real man.

Just when everyone was lively and dispersed, King Lu's Mansion ushered in an amazing guest.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said:

"King Lu Cheng, he is not very old, and his style is not small!"
