Li Mu's words made the entire hall silent, and the minister who was originally advising was stunned, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to do. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shocked, she saw that Li Mu was angry, but she didn't expect that she would be so angry and move out the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, to coerce these ministers.

For the Ming Dynasty's never-conquering country, Zhang Yan, as the queen mother, naturally knows very well and knows it by heart, which is also an important ancestral motto recorded in the ancestral training of the Ming royal family, she didn't expect Li Mu to be so familiar.

Li Mu is not only familiar with it, but also knows what the countries of the Ming Dynasty are not conquered, he is no longer the first brother who crossed for the first time, he can be regarded as an old fritter.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in the second year of Hongwu, that is, in 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the compilation of the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", announcing that the Korean State, the Wa State, the Great Ryukyu State, the Small Ryukyu State, the Annam State, the Zhenla State, the Siam State, the Champa State, the Sumatra State, the Western State, the Guava State, the Huanheng State, the White Flower State, the Three Buddhas State, and the Boni State, fifteen countries will never be conquered by the Ming Dynasty.

It is used to warn future generations not to arbitrarily conquer these fifteen countries, and it also has the meaning of fearing that future generations will be silent.

Another meaning is that these fifteen countries were all chicken-like existences at that time, either separated by the sea or blocked by mountains, and it was very difficult to conquer, so in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang believed that these were useless places to gain and to gain money and money.

Zhu Yuanzhang left this passage in "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", which fully proves this point, all the four sides are limited to mountains and seas, isolated in a corner, and the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make orders.

If he doesn't think about it and comes to scratch my side, then he is ominous. He is not a problem for China, and it is ominous for me to raise troops and attack lightly. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for temporary military achievements, and raise troops for no reason, causing injuries to people's lives. However, Hu Rong and the northwest border are close to each other, and they must choose generals to train their troops in wars for many generations, and be careful when they are prepared.

In this ancestral precept left by Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to the fifteen countries that will never be conquered, there is another place that needs attention.

In the external environment of the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's focus was not on the coastal area, but on Hurong in the northwest region, which had a large amount of soil links with the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, the northwest frontier was more important than these countries along the coast, and it was a matter related to the survival of the country, far more important than the conquest and occupation of some chicken rib territories.

With the difference in time, it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral precept is a bit outdated, at least Li Mu thinks it is necessary to abolish it, but before it is abolished, it can be taken out and used, and these ministers who will ask for peace and stick to it if they have nothing to do will be beaten.

"Why don't you speak?" Li Mu looked at these ministers who didn't speak, and said indifferently: "The Queen Mother said that these Jurchens ignored the grace of the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty in vain, and you actually dissuaded the Queen Mother from being angry. ”

"Is this how you think about Da Ming?"

Saying that, Li Mu raised his feet and left the dragon case, under the gaze of a group of people: "The enemy has repeatedly violated my Ming frontier, seized my Ming territory, plundered my Ming people, robbed my Ming property, and killed my Ming women and children." ”

When he arrived at His Royal Highness, he approached step by step in front of the official who was still patting his ass just now, until the two were very close, Li Mu stopped, looked down and said in a deep voice: "This seat asks you, why can't I fight in the Ming Dynasty, why can I only hold on to it, why do I have to rely on the strong wall to clear the wilderness to keep the frontier peaceful, why, tell this seat." ”

These words reached the depths of the sycophant official's mind, and then sounded in the ears of the ministers in this hall, and when Li Mu raised his head and looked around the hall, he spoke again.

"You are at the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty, you are the cabinet minister, and you are the bull of the military department, you tell this seat, what should you do to deal with a disloyal traitor like the Jurchen?"

Speaking of this, Li Mu became a little emotional.

"Or do you have forgotten the national motto of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, does not make peace, does not pay compensation, does not cede land, and does not pay tribute."

"Or, among you people, there are traitors in Litong, so they don't agree with the main battle of the imperial court, and instead advocate the cowardly strategy of holding on to the wall."

After asking, Li Mu held the imperial treasure knife on his waist with his left hand and said: "This seat inherits the great trust of the former emperor to supervise the country, and here I want to ask the ministers on behalf of the first emperor, how to treat the Jurchen traitors?" This seat has received the grace of the Imperial Treasure Sword from His Majesty today, and I am here to ask the ministers on behalf of His Majesty, how to treat the Jurchen traitors? ”

Saying that, Li Mu bowed to Zhang Yan after the dragon case and said: "This seat enjoys the trust of the Queen Mother, and here on behalf of the Queen Mother, I ask the ministers on behalf of the Queen Mother, how to treat the Jurchen traitors?" ”

"Finally, I, Li Mumu, am a great tomorrow, and I am here to ask the ministers on behalf of Daming, how should I treat the Jurchen traitors? I beg the ministers to tell us! ”

Huang Huang asked four questions, pressing on his body like a mountain, making these ministers sweat on their foreheads, and they didn't dare to hesitate, knelt on the ground, and bowed their heads to Zhang Yan behind the dragon case.

"The Queen Mother, the ministers said this, it's all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Dan's heart can be seen, I hope the Queen Mother is Mingjian!"

Without waiting for Zhang Yan to speak, Li Mu looked at the ministers who knelt on the ground and said sarcastically: "Cowardice is cowardice, don't find any reason to say that it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I, Li Mu, am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and I dare to guarantee that all the Jinyi Guards are up and down, and I am willing to go out of the customs for the Ming Dynasty to ask for the Jurchen traitors." ”

When the words fell, Li Mu once again clenched the imperial sword on his waist, and the brocade-clothed guards inside and outside the Qianqing Palace echoed loudly: "I am willing to recruit Jurchen traitors for the prestige of the Great Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I am willing to recruit Jurchen traitors for the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I am willing to recruit Jurchen traitors for the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

This shocking sound naturally also spread to the Xinuan Pavilion, which woke up the young emperor Zhu Cihong, who had just fallen asleep, causing him to cry incessantly, so that Princess Zhou hurriedly held him in her arms and coaxed her, looked outside and asked.

"What's the matter, the palace is so dignified, why is it so loud, it's scary, it sounds like it's coming from the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, could it be that something happened to Jinyiwei?"

A palace maid may have just come back from outside, so she replied: "Princess Zhou, this voice should be from the brocade guard guarding the Qianqing Palace, the slave maid saw a court meeting in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace this morning, and thought that the Queen Mother was also there, and by the way, Commander Li seemed to be also there." ”

Hearing this palace maid's explanation, Princess Zhou couldn't help but look outside, as if she was watching what was happening in the Humble Administrator's Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, ignored the ministers who knelt on the ground, but looked at Li Mu and asked, "Li Aiqing, what should I do to the Jurchen traitors." ”

Hearing Zhang Yan's question, Li Mu knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister thinks that the crime of treating the Jurchen traitors should be punished, so that they can be inviolable tomorrow, and sound the alarm for those vassal countries, and dare not violate our Ming frontier again in the future."

Then Li Mu proposed: "Please also ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to issue an edict to reprimand the Jurchens for their crimes, establish the Jurchens as a clan that will never recruit peace, and beat the Jurchen clan into a land of no return in my Ming Dynasty." ”
