Chapter 157: Seeing the demeanor of the Yongle Emperor
After that, Zhu Di patted the prince on the shoulder.
But the prince was even more frightened when he was slapped like this.
Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Who are you putting on such a look for?" It's like I've bullied you, forget it, you get out. ”
I wanted to be close to the boss, but the boss's appearance of treating him as a tiger made Zhu Di a little impatient.
Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Dad, I'm leaving." ”
With that, he cautiously walked out of the imperial study and left here.
Zhu Di looked at the fat back and walked away, and threw the book in his hand on the ground: "It's not enough to give birth to these sons, three are not worth one grandson." ”
snorted coldly, walked over, and picked up the gift list in Ji Gang's hand.
Spread it out and take a look.
Li Fangyuan's three words were written on the last page of the gift list.
Li Fangyuan is the current Taizong of the Li Dynasty, although it is only signed by the envoy, the utility is equivalent to Li Fangyuan.
Zhu Di looked at these words, crossed his waist, and showed a smile on his face: "Li Fangyuan, you old boy should be angry if you want to know this news, right?" ”
When Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, he met Li Fangyuan, and the two of them were heroes, which can be described as sympathetic to each other.
Now, seeing that Li Fangyuan was defeated by his grandson, how could Zhu Di be upset.
"My grandson is amazing, and he has turned the Li Dynasty into a horse farm for our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di laughed.
Thinking of the scene where Li Fangyuan was so angry that his face was red and his nose was crooked, Zhu Di was even happier.
More importantly, Sun Tzu was able to stabilize the Li Dynasty, which showed that he had the qualifications of an emperor.
Li Chao, which is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, was able to sign this time, and the stinky boy made a lot of effort to govern the Li Dynasty envoys obediently.
Ji Gang hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness Taisun is the most powerful young generation in our Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Di smiled: "You can't talk too much, Taisun is the first, you can break it?" ”
Although it was a reprimand, but with a smile on his face, Ji Gang also smiled flatteringly: "Emperor, let me tell you in detail about the process of Taisun's submission to the envoys of the Li Dynasty?" ”
Zhu Di became interested.
Sitting on the couch, he leaned over and looked at Ji Gang condescendingly: "Say." ”
Ji Gang organized the language and explained quickly.
When he heard that Li Chao Taizong was plotting against the usurpation, Zhu Di was a little surprised, how did that stinky boy know about such a confidential thing?
I don't even know it.
Li Fangyuan's usurpation of the throne is very likely, and when Zhu Di met him, Li Fangyuan showed great ambition.
In short, this Li Dynasty is controlled by him, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Daming has to guard against it.
Emperor Yongle is really wise, and he is also very accurate in seeing people.
When he continued to hear that Li Fangyuan had developed domestic power and centralized power, which had led to the rapid development of the Li Dynasty, Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Li Fangyuan, I really didn't misunderstand him." ”
However, what shocked Zhu Di even more was that Taisun actually knew about these news?
"Good boy, it's really a good saint grandson of my Ming Dynasty."
Next, it was the scene where the envoys of the Li Dynasty were scared to pee and knelt in front of the grandson.
Ji Gang told the detailed process all over again, and Zhu Di also listened to it vividly.
"That stinky boy, he did a good job, although he has some achievements, but he can't be proud." Zhu Di commanded.
Ji Gang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor is low-key, and the petty officials below are also very convinced of him." ”
Zhu Di was happy in his heart, but said lightly on the surface: "As the grandson of my Emperor Daming, there is something strange about knowing some means." ”
After that, his expression was solemn, and he sneered: "It's this Li Dynasty, secretly developing from our Daming, what is this for?" Do you want to rebel? ”
"Send Jinyi Wei to the Li Dynasty to listen more to the movements of the Li Dynasty, and you must not ignore this place in the future."
"Then Li Fangyuan is a wolf, I have to prevent him from biting me."
Ji Gang nodded solemnly: "Yes!" ”
……
Outside the door of the Imperial Study.
The prince was stunned.
He had just left, and he forgot that he hadn't taken the fold, so he came back to get it.
I heard the conversation between Ji Gang and the old man.
Hearing that his son frightened the envoys of the Li Dynasty to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, the prince couldn't stop jumping out of tears.
Hearing that the old man praised his grandson at all, as long as he heard the news of his grandson, the old man's face was full of smiles, which made the prince's heart sour.
After all, the son can't do the grandson.
That grandson is the pearl of the palm, and we are a lump of poop in the pigsty, smoking the old man to death......
However, the prince was very pleased.
"Son, Li Fangyuan, Taizong of the Li Dynasty, is a hero, and the envoys he sent are afraid that they will not be bad, you can suppress Li Chao, I am also relieved."
The prince stood outside the door, relieved and lonely.
He envied the relationship between the old man and his grandson, and felt that he was a little redundant.
But the son has a chance, which is something to be happy about!
He finally understood why the old man suddenly scolded him just now, because he was afraid that he would know the news of Zhanji.
At this moment, outside the imperial study, a group of civil officials also hurriedly followed.
"This Ji Gang, it's going too fast."
"After all, it's a general, we can't keep up with normal, but it's tiring me for half a life."
"Huh? Prince? ”
Several civil officials hurriedly saluted the prince who stole the corner.
The crown prince coughed: "Did you hear the news of the Li Dynasty's tribute?" ”
Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi, Jian Yi and others nodded one after another, eager to know.
The crown prince bowed his head and said: "It's true, Gang Jigang has already said in it, the Li Dynasty agreed to pay a tribute of 1,000 military horses and 100 stallions every year, and you can go in and take a look at the specific gift list." ”
Several civil officials glanced at each other and couldn't help the ecstasy in their eyes.
What the prince confirmed, it will naturally not be fake.
So, several adults hurriedly walked in, and the prince turned around and went back to the East Palace.
Happiness doesn't belong to him, he's a scolded kid today.
……
When the civil servants learned the news, they were all overjoyed.
At the same time, I am very glad that this Li Dynasty has developed so rapidly, if it is not discovered in time, otherwise it will really be deceived by them, thinking that it has always been a poor and remote country.
However, by signing this tributary list, the Ming Dynasty can rest assured.
At the very least, this gift list can put great pressure on the Li Dynasty, so that he has no money to expand the army.
After these ministers left, Zhu Di issued another holy decree, handed it to a eunuch and said: "You send this holy decree to Zhu's mansion, and then take him to the royal horse farm to pick horses, and I will wait for you there." ”
"Yes." The eunuch hurriedly took the decree.
If the grandson has done a good deed, he will be rewarded, and now that he is an adult, it is time to match him with a good horse and let him get familiar with it, so that he can follow him to the battlefield in the future.
……
Zhu Mansion.
Zhu Chen once again received the holy decree.
When he heard that the emperor asked him to go to the royal horse farm to select horses, Rao is Zhu Chen was stunned.
Is this the emperor happy that he turned the Li Dynasty into a horse farm, so he also rewarded himself with a horse?
Zhu Chen was also a little happy.
As for the reverse tribute, he made it clear to the envoys that he would not give you double the amount of things when he came to pay tribute in the future.
also won the greatest interests for Daming, in the future, it will not be the eldest brother who will support the younger brother, but the younger brother who will provide the eldest brother.
Such a credit is indeed enough to go to the Royal Horse Farm to select horses.
Therefore, Zhu Chen did not hesitate, directly received the holy decree, followed a few eunuchs, and walked towards the royal horse farm.
About half an hour later, several eunuchs led Zhu Chen into the racecourse.
Royal Horse Farm, how magnificent?
This vast territory is enough to ride horses.
At a glance, Zhu Chen couldn't see the end of the horse farm, covering an area of at least a few hundred acres.
On both sides are the horse sheds, and the captives in the horse sheds are the best war horses collected by the Ming Dynasty.
Each of these horses was either paid tribute by the vassal states, sent by the Mongols for peace, or collected from all over the world.
These horses, at a glance, are full of energy and vigor, and they are fat and strong.
Zhu Chen had wanted a horse for a long time, but he couldn't look down on ordinary horses, but like this kind of bloody horse, Zhu Chen was only happy when he saw it.
Good man, who doesn't want to get on a horse and gallop wild?
Good man, who doesn't want to put on armor, ride a tall horse, follow the example of that feather, and kill his own glory?
At that moment, a shout was heard in the distance.
"Stinky boy, look here!"
The voice is full of energy, full of masculinity of a man.
Zhu Chen looked and found that it was the old man riding on a tall horse and galloping wildly.
At this moment, he was no longer wearing coarse linen clothes, but a sturdy black armor, which collided with his body and made a sonorous sound.
Slightly gray hair, also covered by a helmet.
Under the black helmet, Zhu Di is resolute, profound, and with a heroic gaze!
At this moment, he seems to be no longer the old man in cotton and linen clothes, but a veteran general who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and a general who crawled out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain.
The war horse under his feet was racing wildly, and the old man rode steadily on the big horse, leaning over and sprinting.
His appearance is reminiscent of domineering and mighty!
The first time Zhu Chen saw it, his heart was surging instantly!
Streams of blood rushed to his heart from his heavenly inspiration.
This was the first time he had appreciated the old man's demeanor on a horse, how outstanding and majestic.
When the war horse rushed to Zhu Chen, Zhu Di slammed the precipice, the front hooves of the war horse flew up, and then fell steadily.
After the high-pitched horse neighed, the old man rode on the horse, pulled the reins with his big hand, and laughed: "Stinky boy, have you ever seen me like this?" ”
In the racecourse, the old man's laughter echoed.
Zhu Chen's blood was boiling, and he clenched his fists with both hands: "Stinky boy Zhu Chen, see the big handsome!" ”
Zhu Di laughed and stretched out his calloused hand to Zhu Chen: "Our son-in-law, he will go to the battlefield in the future, how can he not be a horse?" ”
"Come up, I'll teach you personally!"
"Good!" Zhu Chen laughed, and the laughter of the two echoed in this horse farm.
Zhu Chen stretched out his hand, Zhu Di grabbed it firmly, pulled it suddenly, and his powerful arm exerted force, and he was stunned to pull his grandson to the horse and sit in front of him.
Zhu Di's hands, holding the reins, wrapped around Zhu Chen's body to prevent him from falling off the horse, and laughed: "Catch it, grandpa will teach you to ride a horse!" ”
"Learn it three times, you can see it."
"If you can't learn it three times, you're stupid, and I have to kick your ass."
After speaking, he pulled the reins suddenly, and Zhu Di shouted: "Drive!" ”
The war horse was raised, if it weren't for Zhu Di's arms firmly surrounding Zhu Chen, I was afraid that Zhu Chen would fall off the horse.
The horses under their feet, like arrows off the string, galloped out!
In my ears, all I heard was the old man's laughter.
At this moment, Zhu Chen felt the old man's solid chest, and felt the surging love and teaching.
Zhu Chen's face was full of excitement, and he felt the wind in his ears skip by: "Old man, I can't learn it three times, I'll walk you upside down!" ”
Zhu Di laughed: "Stinky boy, mader than when I was younger!" ”
The emperor took the imperial grandson to gallop in the racecourse, and the horsemen who were waiting on the side looked over there one after another, showing a respectful face.
At this time, outside the racecourse, a person was walking in.
Zhu Zhanyan was depressed and wanted to come to run a horse to relax, but was blocked by the eunuch.
"Shizi, you can't go in, the emperor is inside!"
"Shizi, you have trespassed, and the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
When several eunuchs saw that Zhu Zhanyan wanted to break in, they were immediately anxious and couldn't stop him.
Zhu Zhanyan sneered and pushed them away violently: "I am grandpa's grandson, how can he punish me?" ”
Coincidentally, his father provoked the old man to be angry and killed 3,000 private soldiers, Zhu Zhanyan went to the palace to ask for a meeting, and wanted to intercede for his father, but he couldn't see the old man.
Now that the old man is here, how can he let go of this opportunity to admit his mistakes?
At that moment, he broke in with force.
When he broke into the racecourse, he heard his grandfather's laughter from a distance, and Zhu Zhanyan's mood instantly stirred.
He was proud.
Because his grandfather is so wise and martial, he is the emperor who laid down the whole tomorrow, and he is the Yongle Emperor who makes the four seas and the universe dare not obey!
This honor, as his grandson, is natural and honorable!
Zhu Zhanyan shouted happily: "Grandpa! ”
