Chapter 152: Good Uncle

Zhu Di stroked Zhu Zhanji's head, and even his voice was much gentler than before, and said, "What do you have but it doesn't matter, don't worry, how can I be willing to cut off your uncle's head?" ”

Zhu Di attaches great importance to Zhu Zhanji.

After all, this is already a very clear future heir.

So, Zhu Di sat down, looking like he was teaching Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di said: "What books have you memorized recently?" ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "I only read the ...... skimmingly."

"Didn't you memorize it?" Zhu Di was surprised.

"Originally, I had to memorize it, but my uncle said that I don't need to understand much about good reading, and I don't want to make an article to take the top prize, as long as I know the content of the book." As he spoke, Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi's teeth are about to be crushed, Uncle Pit's nephew!

So he immediately said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the minister...... He did not ask him to do so. ”

Zhu Di didn't mean to be angry, but said: "I'm asking the emperor and grandson, you don't have to rap here." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, he felt that his relationship with Zhu Zhanji had been divided.

There are bad people in the palace.

Zhu Di's gaze fell back on Zhu Zhanji's body, touched Zhu Zhanji's head again, and asked, "Is this the case?" Well, you have to read and you can't do it without trying to understand it, so what did you learn? ”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it again and said, "Grandson think about it carefully...... It seems that he hasn't learned anything recently, but the masters praise his grandson for being smart and clever. ”

Zhu Di's face pulled down slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi almost blurted out: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "But the grandson thinks that the masters are currying favor with the grandson." ”

Zhu Di was a little interested: "Huh? Why do they want to please you? ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "If you please your grandson, you will be able to get benefits from your grandson in the future, just like an uncle, you have to praise everyone when you see it, and you will say bad things about this person behind your back, he will praise people to the sky, and people will be very happy when they hear it, and they always don't care about the gains and losses." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

This time, Zhang Anshi was already indifferent, and he didn't want to say anything anymore.

If Zhu Zhanji's answer is only a little unfavorable to Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi will definitely fight for it.

It's like a piece of clothing, if there is a hole in it, people often think of repairing it, but what if the dress is full of holes?

I saw Zhu Di say: "Your uncle is such a person?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Grandson can't say it well, anyway, every time he says that he is righteous, and when something happens, he will run away cleanly." ”

Zhu Di smiled silently.

Zhu Zhanji said again: "But I'm thinking, the masters are currying favor with me now, if I really have benefits in the future, should I give them them?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Then do you think you should give it?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "If it is given to them, it should be able to get a good reputation, and everyone will say that I respect my teacher." But I can give it to them, and to others who please me, shall I give it too? I wish I could be like my uncle. ”

Zhu Di said: "Why does this have something to do with your uncle?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's appearance as a little adult, sighed and said: "Uncle is like this, he always gives you benefits verbally, I think...... If there is such a day, I can also do it, I encourage them every day, tell them that they will be promoted in the future, how their grandchildren will appreciate them, and when they are grateful and energetic, and are willing to do their best, I will give them some sweetness as appropriate. ”

After a pause, he continued: "If it is too easy for them to be satisfied, and they get what they want, then in the future their grandchildren will not be able to satisfy their appetites, and they will complain about their grandchildren, and even give birth to treacherous hearts. ”

Zhu Di's face became solemn when he heard this.

Zhu Gaochi was also taken aback, what he learned every day.

Zhu Di asked again: "What if someone really has a bad idea?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Then the grandson will be more treacherous than them." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and smiled bitterly, this son ...... It's not like him!

Zhu Zhanji added: "You have to be more treacherous than your uncle." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled hard and looked at Zhu Zhanji with loving eyes.

After hearing this, Zhu Di actually held his chin slightly and muttered: "What if it is your clan relatives who have ill intentions?" ”

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head and said: "If it is a clan relative, you can't kill him, and you can't bully him, so I have to confine him and make a living." Just like the father and the emperor to the second uncle, after all, they are connected by blood, although they are annoying to watch, they can't be killed. ”

Zhu Di smiled a little: "Really? What do you think about your second uncle? ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle said...... Even if the second uncle is a rebel, he is also the grandson's closest relative, and he should slowly influence him and teach him to get lost, otherwise, the grandson will not have a second uncle. ”

Zhu Di listened to it and laughed evilly: "Hahahaha...... That's the truth, your uncle is right, your second uncle is a bastard, but he is also our dearest relative, the dearest person, who broke the bones and tendons, all dynasties, but all the people who are incompatible with their own clansmen, how many of them have a good end? ”

"From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Song Qi Liang Chen, as well as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, how prosperous this Tang Dynasty is, but what? Li Shimin killed his own brother, and in the end, wasn't it the same, so that his descendants would follow suit, so that father and son killed each other, and brothers killed each other? This is called not forgetting the past, and the teacher of the future. ”

Zhu Di was very satisfied with this, and said: "Your masters, you follow them to read and break words, you follow your uncle to learn to be a man, and then follow me to learn to march and fight in the future, and you will be able to become a great weapon in the future." ”

Zhu Di took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and said as he walked: "Let's go, go with me to repair the book for Timur Khan, and see how I influence this Timur Khan." ”

After that, he pulled Zhu Zhanji to the palace, let Yishuha take the pen and ink, and then mentioned the Zhu pen, pondered for a while, and then wrote down the words.

Then he looked up at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Look at what I wrote." ”

Zhu Zhanji stumbled and read: "Biwener and Congzi Hari have a grudge against each other, and I am sorry. The relatives of the family, love each other, and enough to control foreign insults...... From now on, it is advisable to suspend the army and rest the people, preserve the flesh and bones, and share the blessings of peace. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Do you know what it means?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "It means that the imperial grandfather has heard that he has started a war with his nephew, and after the imperial grandfather heard it, he felt very uncomfortable. Tell this Timur Khan that the family loves each other, they are all close brothers, and only when uncles and nephews unite can they stabilize the country and defend themselves against external enemies. The emperor hopes that he can repent, save the lives of his closest relatives, and share peace together. ”

Zhu Di touched Zhu Zhanji's head with satisfaction, and said dotingly: "Yes, yes, my grandson is smart." What do you think of this epistle? ”

Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and thought about it again: "But Grandpa Huang, didn't you say that the fourth uncle had already killed his nephew, and he also killed his nephew's entire family?" Why should you advise him to save his flesh and bones? ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Guess it." ”

Zhu Zhanji actually said directly: "Is it that the imperial grandfather deliberately pretended not to know, the matter has reached this point, repair the book and admonish, so as not to make this Timur's fourth uncle angry and ashamed." ”

Zhu Di said: "I just save him a little face, and when his envoy comes back, he will definitely lie to me, saying that he didn't kill Harry's whole family, and I will let him prevaricate." ”

As he spoke, he took the letter from his Zhu pen and handed it to Yishiha, and said: "The Ministry of Rites and Rites sent Fu An to the Western Regions in the matter, and brought this letter with him by the way." ”

He also said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji and said with a smile: "Do you know why I want you to learn from your uncle?" ”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it again, blinked, and didn't understand.

Zhu Di said: "Because people have their own selfish desires, some people want silver, and some people want fame. Can anyone ...... They all know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts! Look at my ministers, which one of them came to me and you, not all of them were dignified and upright, opening their mouths is the great truth of saints, and closing their mouths is smearing their livers and brains? Your uncle is also like this to outsiders, but he is your closest relative, and his selfish side will be revealed in front of you with confidence. Therefore, you have to perceive human nature, it is difficult to detect it from other people, and only by learning from your uncle, who is defenseless against you, will you show your true nature. ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized: "It turns out that Uncle is also a human outside. ”

Zhu Di was amused by these words, and said with a smile: "What do you think? ”

Zhu Zhanji lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, a eunuch from the General Administration Department hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an Annan military situation. ”

Zhu Di said: "What, Zhu Neng, this old horseman, should have already Chen Bing Baihejiang at this time, take the report." ”

Gently put Zhu Zhanji down and took the report, Zhu Di smiled on his face, looked down, the smile on his face froze directly, and his face slowly pulled down.

His expression became more and more solemn, and then he said: "Master Yao, as well as the governors of the five armies, the scholars, the six scholars, and the squires, all of them." ”

At this time, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi also came.

Zhu Di didn't speak, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

It didn't take long for someone to rush in, and the ministers saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "Let's circulate the newspaper." ”

Everyone watched the music one by one, and after reading it, their eyes were full of shock.

Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Yong, Zhang Yuan, Qiu Song, Gu Xingzuren, etc., drove straight in, and the army penetrated deep into the territory of Annam, and after reaching Gaoping, the news was lost. It's just that...... Annan's army has a tendency to close, obviously...... This lone army is besieged.

With no food routes and no military horses nearby, it was a lone army, and it plunged headlong into the enemy's pocket recklessly, which was almost equivalent to the so-called death of the soldiers.

As soon as Zhu Gaochi saw the report, he knew that something was wrong.

But Zhang Anshi's heart is very calm, in fact, he doesn't want to take risks, but everyone is now a trader, and it is not fatal for a trader to make money.

And Zhang Anshi feels that Zhu Gaoxu still has an advantage, because of Qiu Song!

However, he was well aware that he was not in a position to make any suggestions here at this time.

After Qiu Fu and the others saw it, their faces were miserable.

Xie Jin looked at the music, and his expression was calm, but he didn't make a sound.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong's faces were solemn.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, why didn't the Mu family's military horses and the Chinese army decisively gallop to help?" ”

His brother has fallen into the enemy formation, and Zhu Gaochi still cares about this younger brother.

Zhu Di sighed: "Zhu Neng and Gu Cheng...... They...... Ay...... They won't risk their army, they are handsome, and they control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as Zhang Fu...... Although there are close relatives trapped, once the army is entered, the supplies will definitely not be able to keep up, which is tantamount to putting hundreds of thousands of troops into the most dangerous situation! ”

"And the northern part of Annan is mountainous, and the people of Annan will lure Zhu Gaoxu and others to go deeper, but they will definitely use the mountain situation to try their best to block the Chinese army and the soldiers and horses of Yunnan and Guizhou. Once hundreds of thousands of people are caught in a dilemma in order to save people, and the troops are sent too hastily, it is very likely that the success will fail. I know them, and they don't joke with the lives of countless soldiers because of their personal feelings. ”

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head...... Silent.

Zhu Di also felt panicked in his heart, although he was outside, and the king's order was not affected, but ...... Zhu Gaoxu was reckless to this point, but he didn't expect it.

During the Battle of Jingjing, although Zhu Gaoxu was brave, he had rules and regulations for marching and fighting, and he was not the kind of person who only knew how to rush and kill.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty...... It was a big mistake to send troops to Annam in the name of a commercial house, and in all dynasties, could there be a reason for merchants to supply the army to go on the expedition? Tens of thousands of soldiers, just handed over to the trading house, the result is ...... Buried ...... in vain"

Zhu Di raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was Chen Ji, the right attendant of the military department.

Chen Ji looked sad and said, "This matter ...... It was already unbelievable, the imperial court had sent a large army, and the result was ...... transferred Zhu Gaochu and others again, not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan, how can they be up to the task when they are so young? There is also that Qiu Song, when the minister saw him, he thought that this person was stupid, but let them lead the army, this matter...... Shouldn't the imperial court reflect on it? ”

"Now that such a thing has happened, so rashly, I think it is ...... This firm has plundered the people's interests and should be abolished, not laissez-faire, otherwise it will lead to great disasters sooner or later. The same is true of the army with business, and the same is true with the people with business. ”

Zhu Di's heart was full of anger at this time, and he thought about the safety of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Yong, Zhang Xuan, and Qiu Song.

What's more, this battle is the first battle after he ascended the throne, and once the first battle goes wrong, I'm afraid that he will laugh off the big teeth of the world.

But Zhang Anshi came out stupidly at this time and said, "Your Majesty...... I thought it was ......"

Before Zhang Anshi could continue, Zhu Di said: "It's not your head to blame, Zhu Yong, Zhang Xun, Qiu Song, and Gu Xingzu are not guilty, it is Zhu Gaoxu who is reckless, others can be reckless, he is the boss...... And after marching and fighting for many years, don't you know these truths? ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves and said: "If he can survive by luck, I will never spare him." ”

Then, Zhu Di glared at Chen Ji angrily: "Now is not the time to pursue these, you are the right attendant of the military department, take care of your own affairs!" ”

Zhu Di was extremely bored in his heart, although he said a lot of cruel words, he was still worried in his heart, sighed, and walked away.

Leave a group of ministers, you look at me, I look at you.

Xie Jin stepped forward, tiptoed to Zhu Gaochi's side, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, can you move." ”

Zhu Gaochi stood up, but said angrily: "My brother is dying, is there anything unspeakable?" ”

After that, Zhu Gaochi's eyes turned red: "The bad thing is that everyone has their own thoughts, if it weren't for the fact that the people around him always say some unspeakable things in front of themselves in front of the palace and the second brother, how can it be today." ”

Saying that, Zhu Gaochi didn't take a break, and left quickly.

Only Zhu Zhanji stood stunned in place, glanced at the imperial grandfather who was far away, and then looked at his father who dragged his fat body away.

He found himself as if he had been abandoned.

At this time, Zhang Anshi stepped forward and held Zhu Zhanji's hand tightly: "Uncle will take you home." ”

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head and was hugged by Zhang Anshi.

The two uncles and nephews, out of the hall, Zhu Zhanji was a little tired, his head arched on Zhang Anshi's chest, and said, "Uncle, your chest is too hard." ”

Zhang Anshi scolded: "Oh my God, you are young, how can you say such a thing......"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were blurred with tears at this time, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle, are the imperial grandfather and father angry?" ”

Zhang Anshi was silent for a moment before saying, "They are not angry, they are sad." ”

"Is it because of the second uncle?"

Zhang Anshi said: "It should be." ”

"When they are sad, I am sad." Zhu Zhanji continued to push his head on Zhang Anshi's chest, looking uncomfortable.

He thought for a while and said, "Why isn't Uncle sad?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Because I think they may be fine." ”

Zhu Zhanji looked up at Zhang Anshi curiously and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Intuition! ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

Zhang Anshi gently patted Zhu Zhanji's back and said, "You are still young, and you don't know the taste of money burning. ”

Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes in confusion, closed them again, continued to lean his head on Zhang Anshi's chest, and said, "Uncle, why is my father so angry with Master Xie?" ”

"Maybe it's not right."

"What is a malpractice?"

"For example...... For example, when he was three years old, he peeked at a woman bathing, such as ...... He ...... when he was four years old."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly said with a little annoyance: "This person is too bad, when I grow up, I must kill him." ”

Zhang Anshi said with relief: "Don't fight, kill, kill, it's useless." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "If you don't fight, kill and kill, how can Emperor Taizu Gao win the world, and how can the emperor be the emperor?" Uncle, you're confused in business. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

"Why didn't Uncle speak?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, from now on, you shut up for me, and you are not allowed to talk to me for three days." ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

…………

Thang Long City.

This capital, which has gone through the two dynasties of Annam, is still singing and dancing, although the war with the Ming Dynasty has begun, but ...... Hundreds of thousands of Annan soldiers and civilians have been continuously mobilized to the northern part of Annan.

Not only that, but with the help of the mountains in the northern part of Annam, it is like a moat. In the eyes of the people of Annam...... This battle may be very painful, but there is no risk of national collapse for the time being.

Hu has led his troops to the battle, and the good news continues, obviously...... There was a lone army besieged. It won't be long before this lone army is completely devoured. At that time, it is bound to be up and down in Annan, and the morale of the army and the people will be greatly boosted.

In Annan's court, almost everyone is an old god.

They may not know about military affairs, but they know Hu.

Hu can have today, become Cao Cao of Annan, his temperament has always been scheming, cautious, and cunning like a fox.

If he is not sure, he will never leave Thang Long without permission, and even take the elites in Thang Long City to besiege the lone army.

Once he does, the only possibility is that he is 90% sure.

But...... It was early in the morning at dawn.

Suddenly...... Shouting and killing.

First, a group of cavalry suddenly attacked and tried to seize the gate.

The defenders resisted desperately, and the cavalry below the city began to throw fire and thunder into the city.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army was like flowing water, and along a weak city wall in Shenglong, a hole was directly blown up here.

When the sky was slightly bright, countless Ming troops were killed.

In the early morning streets, murderous heavy armored foot soldiers opened the way, followed by various horse infantry, the remnants of the Annan army retreated to the imperial city, besieged and killed for another morning, and finally ...... The entire city of Thang Long fell.

Among the ruins.

Zhu Gaoxu pressed the knife, his body was majestic, and he strode into the palace of Shenglong City.

He was murderous, in this siege, Han Wangwei suffered a lot of casualties, and lost hundreds of lives.

Obviously, this siege was still too hasty, even though Zhu Gaoxu had long understood that on the battlefield, anything could be abandoned, even if it was his own son.

Because there is only success or failure in war, in order to win, you can do whatever it takes, and once you lose, then the consequences of defeat are far more terrible than these losses.

But even so, in his iron-like heart, he still had resentment, holding the hilt of the knife rigidly, step by step to the inner palace.

Zhu Yong followed and said, "Fifth brother, someone wants to avenge the dead comrades. ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yong meaningfully.

He knew very well what Zhu Yong's words meant, especially in the case of Kecheng just now, when people's spirits were the most excited, and at the same time, they were the most annoyed because of the loss of their robes.

As long as he gives the order, those resentful soldiers will raise the butcher's knife again.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, if he had done this before, he would have done this a long time ago.

But this time......

People who have experienced setbacks...... You will gradually learn to be rational.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "This is the property of the commercial bank, whether it is people or property, it is the wealth of the commercial bank!" The people of this royal house...... All of them were taken into custody, and all the halls were sealed for me, and this matter was handed over to Gu Xingzu to be responsible for inspecting military discipline. You take the left guard to the east city, Zhang Xuan to the west city, Qiu Song to the model camp to the palace, and I and Tian Cewei and the Han king Zhongwei to the city gates. ”

Zhu was so brave that he grinned his teeth, and finally reluctantly nodded and said, "Yes, it's fucking, it's cheaper for them." ”

"Second brother, don't be rash." Zhu Gaoxu said with a serious face: "There are still ...... Let people collect the bones of the soldiers...... Prepare the coffin and ...... in the future Take them home. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Gaoxu pressed the knife and stepped onto the wall of the palace.

Standing on this city wall, I saw a hundred people lying on the ground not far away, facing the sun, revealing a white flower.

Zhu Gaoxu broke the defense a little: "What is this?" ”

"It's the fourth, and I'm drying my belly again." Zhu Yong said with a wry smile.

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

Zhu Yong said: "He is like this. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said speechlessly: "What about the others? ”

"The people who followed him...... Seeing him like this, they all thought it was a trick to maintain their health, so they all learned from him. ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but scold: "What does this look like, what a bastard, teach him to get back." ”

Zhu Yong muttered, "Why don't you go and talk about it, fifth brother?" The fourth brother has a weird temperament, and he carries gunpowder around you at every turn, and I don't dare to say anything as a second brother. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

But soon...... A strange phenomenon arose in the army.

More and more people began to pick up their clothes and pants and follow Qiu Song to bask in the sun.

More and more people are following suit.

This seems to have been the leisure time of the soldiers on lower duty.

After a while, the commander of the left guard of the king of Han came excitedly and said, "The palace ...... No, general, it's amazing, it's amazing, General Qiu Song is really talented. ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

The conductor said happily: "Don't you know, since you entered Annan, the skin on the soldiers' bodies has been very easy to itch, some even festered, and some ...... Even the crotch of the pants is rotten. But since I beat everyone, I followed General Qiu Song to post this, and I actually ...... It's all right, it's not itchy at all, do you think it's weird? ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but subconsciously pulled out his crotch, he was also itchy.

The weather here is hot and humid, and it is very easy for the skin to ulcerate, which is almost the most complained about by many officers and soldiers, and other things can be endured, but this is the only ...... It's hard to sleep.

Some people are even more depressed and in pain.

Where did you think of ...... Naqiu pine......

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but say: "Damn, he really has an ancestral secret recipe." ”

So, every time it is noon, it is a piece of white flowers, spicy eyes.

Gu Xingzu is the busiest, he has to lead people to clean up military discipline, and at the same time, he has to seal all the treasury, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the settlement of officials in Annan.

This...... is exactly what he is best at, he is a reader, four books and five classics, and he memorizes it backwards.

And the ministers of Annan also read the books of sages and sages, and they have a deep attainment in Sinology.

At least everyone communicates fairly smoothly.

Seeing that the Ming army did not slaughter the city, these ministers of Annam breathed a sigh of relief, and then they began to plan for themselves.

If it is said that the low-level people of Annan may not be willing to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, but for these ministers from the Annan family, it is obvious that in order to ensure the interests of their families, they are very willing to strive for some preferential treatment for the next Ming rule.

One of the biggest problems...... It's a matter of money and food.

The Hu family's internal treasury, Annam's treasury, and the amount of money and grain here must all be handed over.

In addition, there are household registrations, people, and acres.

This is the basis for future rule.
