"Gentlemen."

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

In the Huagai Palace, the eunuchs of the inner palace who were waiting beside the crown prince Zhu Biao stood in the corner and reminded the ministers in the palace loudly.

The civil and military officials in the hall were silent.

After a moment of silence.

The eunuch said in a deep voice: "Scatter the court." ”

The retainers retreated.

Zhu Biao sat silently for a moment on the steps of His Majesty, and only when the six Shangshu and the five Siqing began to retreat did he get up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the back of the Huagai Palace.

In the hall, Tie Xuan was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xiping Hou Muying.

"Iron Bachelor stays."

Tie Xuan was slightly puzzled, stopped, and looked at several cabinet members, including Mu Ying, who had gathered together at some point, either with their hands together, or with their hands behind their backs, and walked towards him silently.

Tie Xuan immediately bowed his head: "I don't know what happened when the Hou Ye called the lower official?" ”

Mu Ying smiled, and glanced sideways at Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, Xu Huizu, and Zhai Shan beside her.

In the end, Xie Jin said, "Keystone, let's go to Wenyuan Pavilion for a cup of tea." ”

Tie Hyun nodded and turned sideways.

Xie Jin and the others walked past Tie Xuan's eyes according to the ranking in the cabinet.

It wasn't until the end that Tie Hyun took a step to follow.

Out of the temple.

Ren Hengtai, who was walking in front, said softly: "The old man is very happy to see that there are young people in the cabinet to do things, and the old man is old, and his spirit is not as good as before." It's just that right now, the nine sides need more people who can determine the future. Therefore, today, the old man recommended Keystone to go to the Nine Sides in front of His Royal Highness, and Keystone has to understand the old man's good intentions......"

As he spoke, Ren Hengtai's eyes silently glanced at Xie Jin.

Tie Xuan and Xie Jin were the first officials of the DPRK and China to follow Taisun's side.

Now that Xie Jin is the second assistant, if Tie Xuan can re-enter the cabinet, it will definitely help him, the second assistant.

Tie Xuan, who was following behind, glanced at Xie Jin.

After he saw Xie Jin nodding silently.

Only then did Tie Xuan speak: "The boss has good intentions, and Keystone can't understand it." Keystone's return to Beijing this time is also to hope that he can do something for the imperial court in the local area. ”

Ren Hengtai's face softened a little, and he nodded: "It's good that you can think like this." At the moment, it is foreseeable that the Nine Sides will use troops on a large scale. If you go north to the nine sides this time, no matter what you ask, the old man will cooperate with the cabinet and try his best to be considerate for you, so that you will not have a burden when you go north. ”

After saying that, Ren Hengtai glanced sideways at Xu Huizu again: "Come to think of it, the Dadu Governor's Mansion should also do a good job of coordination." ”

Xu Huizu nodded: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is united, this time Keystone goes to the frontier, if anyone dares to shirk and slack off, this commander will not forgive!" ”

With the promise of the first person in the military, Ren Hengtai hummed with relief.

"That's fine."

Several people fell silent, and in the palace that had dispersed the crowd, only Ren Hengtai and a few people were in big red robes, walking on the flat floor tiles.

When a few people walked to the east side of the Fengtian Temple.

Far behind, there was a small chamberlain who hurried to catch up.

"Bachelor!"

"Bachelor!"

A few people stopped, staring at the sweaty little attendant with faint eyes.

The little chamberlain rushed to everyone, and only then did he react.

These people in front of me are all university scholars.

The little chamberlain shrank his head and hurriedly lowered his head: "Iron Bachelor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you." ”

Tie Xuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the prince wanted to summon him alone at this time.

He turned his head to look at the people around him.

Ren Hengtai waved his hand with a smile: "Since it is the crown prince who summoned him, it must be appropriate to meet Keystone face-to-face, or go over quickly, don't let the prince wait too long." ”

Xie Jin also waved at Tie Xuan.

Tie Xuan clenched his fists and bowed: "All the superiors go first, and after the lower officials meet the prince, they will go to Wenyuan Pavilion to listen to the lesson." ”

Ren Hengtai and the others glanced at each other, smiled, and turned around and walked towards the cabinet with a relaxed attitude.

Tie Xuan followed behind Xiao Nei and returned to the past in the direction of the Huagai Palace.

Not much.

Tie Xuan has been taken to the back of the Huagai Hall by the little chamberlain.

In front of it is the Shrine Hall, one of the three major halls of the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, there was no one around the two halls.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is standing on the royal road in the middle with his hands behind his back.

Tie Xuan suppressed the sound of footsteps and glanced around.

The little chamberlain who used to lead the way has long since disappeared.

He had to walk behind Zhu Biao cautiously, and before he could speak, Zhu Biao in front of him had already turned his head.

Zhu Biao had a smile on his face: "Keystone is here." ”

Tie Xuan bowed his head and clenched his fists: "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Biao's footsteps took a step forward.

"Keystone is erudite, do you know why this temple is named Jinshen?"

Tie Xuan raised his head and looked at the temple with seven rooms wide and deep, and the heavy eaves rested on the top of the mountain, with a trace of doubt on his face.

I don't know why the prince asked this question.

Tie Xuan still spoke: "There is a saying in Hanshu that Henan Shou Wu Gong and Shu Shou Wen Weng belong to them, they are all handsome and handsome, live honestly, not strictly, and the people are congratulated."

The king is an example for the billions of subjects in the world, and he should cultivate himself diligently and set an example for the world. ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "Throughout the ages, I have always been keen to borrow all kinds of foreign objects to alert myself, so as to achieve the ideal of self-cultivation and Qi family ruling the country and leveling the world." ”

"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go to thousands of miles, and you have the ambition to manage the society, but you don't know the grains, how can you govern." Tie Hyun replied.

Zhu Biao glanced at Tie Xuan silently, and walked towards the Jinshen Hall with his hands behind his back.

"Keystone is in the court, and he is about to be a politician, what are his ideals?"

"I hope that there will be no disasters in the world, the people will have a bumper harvest, there will be no more wars in the frontier, and the Ming Society will survive forever."

Zhu Biao suddenly laughed: "Keystone knows how to be an official in this officialdom." ”

Tie Xuan also thought about it, and then changed his words: "The minister actually only hopes that his errand will not be messed up by himself." ”

"Hahaha!"

"Good for you, Iron Keystone!"

Zhu Biao's laughter was a little louder, echoing in this palace.

His eyes were about to burst into tears with laughter, and he pointed at Tie Hyun and said, "Lone will take your attitude of not wanting to mess things up." ”

Tie Xuan smiled and said nothing, just following behind Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao put away his laughter and said softly: "The Imperial Court will launch a big war on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. Since the middle of this year, the new artillery and other weapons built by the Ministry of Industry have been successively transported to Beiping City by sea.

In this battle, Daming is imperative.

In the same way, the Ming can only win, not lose.

As long as this battle is won, my Ming Dynasty will have the foundation to surpass the strong Han and Tang Dynasty.

In the past few years, people outside have always said that my Ming Dynasty won Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and Yingzhou, which is nothing.

Only by expelling the Yuan thieves and recovering the Western Regions can it be regarded as a national merit far beyond that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Do you know what it means to be lonely? ”

Tie Xuan nodded silently.

Zhu Biao continued: "After all, Taisun has never experienced a big battle alone, and this time he has toured the nine sides of the north for the first time. Gao Chunfeng has the merit of governing Jiaozhi, but he has no experience in conquering a place.

When you go to the Nine Sides, you should assist the grandson more, and coordinate the soldiers and horses of the Nine Sides and the official yamen as a cabinet scholar.

More importantly, I want you to stay in Jiubian, so that I can think about how I can completely solve the problems on the grassland and no longer make the north a problem for the Central Plains.

Lonely, I don't want thousands of years later, the Central Plains will once again face the trampling of iron horses from the north. ”

Tie Hyun clenched his fists, stopped, and bent over.

"Wechen understands!"

"It's good to understand." Zhu Biao's eyes were gloomy, and he stood in front of the Jinshen Hall and turned around, facing south.

"For this purpose, Lone allows you to use all means outside the gate."

After saying that, a sound of footsteps came to Tie Xuan's ears.

When he raised his head again, there was no more crown prince in front of him.

It was completely empty, and he was left standing alone.

Tie Xuan's eyes were gloomy.

The purpose of the prince's summoning of him alone today has been understood.

No matter how much the prince said earlier, the most important thing is only the last sentence.

All means can be used.

Then, just like what he did in Yingzhou, no one will graze on the grassland again, and it is also allowed.

Tie Hyun's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Bachelor, the slave will lead you to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Just as Tie Xuan was pondering in his heart what kind of person the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was, the little chamberlain who had just disappeared without a trace had already reappeared in front of him.

When the twilight hung over Yingtian City, Tie Xuan left the palace.

And before the various departments of the imperial court went down to the yamen, there was also a will in the palace.

"Wu Yingdian University scholar Tie Xuan, into the cabinet, the title of Shangshu of the Jin Military Department, the title of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, the title of the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, the title of Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the title of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the title of Shaozhan of Zhan Shifu, plus the rank of Doctor of Virtue, Zhengzhi Shangqingxun, leading the Nine Sides Xuanfu Envoy, and the deputy envoy of the Taisun Northern Patrol Battalion."

The will of the palace did not come suddenly.

However, the content of the will is dazzling for everyone to see.

Tie Xuan alone has almost taken the official positions that the entire Ming Dynasty can hold into his arms.

And all this is for the last two official errands.

Just with this will, Tie Xuan will be invincible when he patrols all over the Nine Sides in the future, and no one will be able to stop him.

Under the cover of night.

The latest appointment of the Iron Keystone has spread all over Yingtian City.

Tie Hyun did not enter the cabinet, but only added the status of a cabinet minister, and he had to rush to Jiubian in the near future.

There is an extra big Buddha in the court, but it will not stay in the capital.

This made everyone envious, and a little relieved in their hearts.

In front of the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang rarely did not indulge in the daily life of Hansun Rongyi anymore, but stood under the palace gate with a slightly lonely back.

In the distance, a bright moon hangs high in the starry sky, and behind it is the Yinhan galaxy.

Prince Zhu Biao silently stood aside.

Sun Gou'er, the chief administrator of the Inner Palace, stood farther away, looking at the moon that had been watched for countless years, and he didn't know what difference His Majesty the Emperor could see tonight.

"Tie Hyun has decided to go to the Nine Sides?"

Under the palace gate where the lanterns were not lit, the light was dim, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked silently with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Biao took a step forward and said, "The soldiers are thirsty for war now, and it is the right time for Tie Xuan to go to the nine sides." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Implementing policies for government has always been a double-edged sword. The soldiers are excited, not afraid of life and death, and thirsty for war, and they are the sword of the country. But if this sword is not hung for a long time, I am afraid that it will also hurt the person who holds the sword. ”

"Erchen is just worried, if this goes on for a long time, will my Daming really want to hit the sky?"

Zhu Biao's gaze was a little solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes are deep and his gaze is gloomy.

After a long time, he whispered: "Give the decree." ”

Zhu Biao stepped forward again.

"Reprimanded Yan Wangdi, led the troops south without an order, left the vassal country privately, fined him for three years, and faced the wall of the temple of Yan Wangfu for 20 days."

"Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division and the commander of the guards of the Yanwang Mansion, led the troops out of Hebei Province without an edict, and was arrogant and inferior. Seize the command of the Beiping Division, seize the post of the commander of the Yan Palace, reduce it to a thousand households, and immediately go to Kaiping Wei Dushi Fort to guard the border pass, and do not leave without an edict. ”

"Xun Liangguo Duke Lanyu, leading the troops a lot of unruly, arrogant, fined for one year, won the rank of general, and acted under orders in Datong Mansion."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his back to the prince, faced the bright moon, and ordered in a deep voice.

Zhu Biao's eyes turned, thinking about one or two, and after a while, he nodded his head: "Erchen takes the order." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his words again: "Tell the second child and let him do the errand in his hand quickly." If progress is as slow as it is now, I will tear down his Qin Palace, leaving him homeless! ”

Zhu Biao nodded again: "Erchen knows." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Send a letter to Taiyuan Mansion and tell Brother Xi to send someone to send that Qiu Niang to return to heaven, build another mansion outside Taisun Mansion, and place maids and slaves with the prince of the county." Then call the Tai Hospital, send two people, set off on the same day, to Taiyuan Mansion to welcome Qiu Niang back to Beijing. ”

"My son will do it later." Zhu Biao responded, then looked up and said, "Brother Xi'er's ...... over there"

"Let the third child tell Zhu Yunwen that since he chose to stay in the border army, he will stay alive, the court has always been fair, meritorious service will be rewarded, where to go, he thinks about it."

Zhu Biao bowed and bent over.

"Your Majesty."

"The Holy Ming has no emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered twice: "Send someone out of the palace to Zhang Ergong's house and tell him that I will go to him tomorrow to play." Tell him that if he dares to leak the news, I will dismantle his steam engine. ”

Zhu Biao laughed: "Son, I'll do it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was also soothed, and he said with a smile: "Staring at the matter of the meritorious mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain, your father doesn't ask for thousands of troops and horses to command and escort after death, but only asks for those old brothers and sons in the army to get a rest after death, and the children in their family can say a word, and I am the emperor who treats them well, so I don't want anything more." ”

Zhu Biao's eyes flickered, and his face was a little hesitant.

"Erchen thinks ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his arm: "You go and do something, keep an eye on the grain and grass materials going north, and when this battle is over, let Brother Xi go home early." ”

Zhu Biao lowered his head and sighed softly in his heart.

"My son knows."
