Zhu Di stared at Xie Jin viciously.

Xie Jin was frightened, so he hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said honestly and fearfully: "Your Majesty, most of the gossip outside cannot be believed, and some people are talking nonsense, there may be, but why should Your Majesty care?" This is also a glamour and a ghost! ”

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin coldly.

Suddenly, he said, "Really? ”

Xie Jin only felt extremely frightened, and the companion was like a tiger, from the beginning when His Majesty took him as a confidant, to the prince's estrangement from him, His Majesty's mood and mood made him feel a little difficult to deal with.

The most important thing is that Xie Jin doesn't know what His Majesty knows, whether it is Jinyiwei or not...... Or what did he say in front of His Majesty.

Under this kind of information asymmetry, it is easy to make wrong judgments, and once you make wrong judgments, you will put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation.

At this time, Zhu Di said: "Rumors are not ...... What should be done with such people? ”

Xie Jin said: "Be punished!" ”

Zhu Di said: "This is what you said. ”

Then, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Today's Di newspaper must be recorded." ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

originally thought that Zhu Di had mastered any real movements.

But Zhu Di had already predicted the prediction of hundreds of officials, and this matter must be boiling, and there must be many people who say a lot of strange things in private.

But Zhu Di's 'benevolent monarch' is the future 'Emperor Wen', so he must be kind-hearted and can't bear to kill ministers.

Since Zhu Di is lenient and benevolent, what should he do if he wants to kill people again?

Naturally, it is to scare Xie Jin, Xie Jin is the leader of Shilin, and has an excellent reputation among readers.

Most importantly, he was in charge of the compilation of the Compendium of Literature, which was regarded as an honor not only because of its great prestige.

In addition to prestige, there are also huge benefits.

That's right, great benefits!

Because I want to let my book, or the book written by my ancestors, be included in the "Literature Dacheng", it is a matter of honoring the ancestors, so to a certain extent, the chief editor of "Literature Dacheng" is essentially equivalent to the director of the jury.

If the book can be included in the "Literature Dacheng", it is natural to be grateful to this editor-in-chief, and boast everywhere that he is the first genius in the world.

Now that Zhu Di is frightened, Xie Jin is extremely frightened, this is what he personally said that those who spread rumors should be punished.

Then see it in the newspaper, and it is rare to mention it, Zhang Anshi even thought of the title: 'Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar Xie Jinshang said, ministers and students who discuss state politics in vain should be killed. ’。

Xie Jin exclaimed in his heart at this time, but at this time, he ...... Except for a helpless wry smile, he didn't dare to say anything.

Zhu Di sat down, sighed and said: "At this time, the capital must be stabilized, if you are in chaos, won't you let the Annan people have a chance?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a person: "Qiu Qing's family ......"

"The minister is here." Qiu Fu hurriedly left work.

Zhu Di said lightly: "If Zhu Gaoxu and others fail, I ...... If you want to recruit in person, the governor's office of the five armies must also make some preparations in advance. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to say, his father must not move lightly.

Qiu Fu has already taken the initiative to ask: "The minister is willing to be the vanguard of His Majesty." ”

These days, he has not slept a day, and his stupid son is always hovering on the verge of death.

Qiu Fu is really tired, and his heart is very tired.

Zhu Di bowed his head and said, "This matter ...... Let's talk about it again, let's wait for the news. ”

Qiu Fu sighed silently and said, "The minister is only afraid...... It is already more than auspicious, and the Annan people are cunning and lure the enemy deeper, but they ...... Hey......"

As far as the soldiers are concerned, this is a place of death, and when Zhu Dijing was in trouble, he encountered many dangerous situations, but he would never be able to do this kind of thing by plunging headlong into the pocket of the other party's cloth.

He could only sigh and say to Qiu Fu: "If there is really this in case, Qiu Qing's family will mourn." ”

Qiu Fu said, "Your Majesty ......"

He wanted to say mourning, but he felt unlucky, so he hung his head and said nothing.

Zhu Di said: "I want to go to the army, what do you think?" ”

Xie Jin didn't say anything.

However, Hu Guang and Yang Rong frowned, they wanted to say something.

War is not a good thing for them, hundreds of thousands of horses, so many young and strong, abandon production, and the country's money and grain flow out like flowing water.

And almost every war will cause a shortage of local manpower, because the strong men are conscripted to transport food, and even fight as auxiliaries.

There were not enough tenant farmers, and the gentry often had to give up greater profits to cultivate their land.

This has given rise to an almost universal trend of thought in all prefectures and counties of the world against the use of foreign troops.

It even derives a theoretical basis against the war.

Now His Majesty is going to increase the weight again, Yang Rong and Hu Guang are worried that they are afraid that they will make trouble again. If the war dragged on for a few years, it might become a tragedy like Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo.

At this time, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... I think it can't be. ”

And they looked at him.

It's Chen Ji, the right attendant of the military department.

Chen Ji has just taken over as the right attendant, and this is the most proud time.

He saluted Zhu Di and continued: "Your Majesty, you can't fight anymore, Annan is far away in the sky, and there are lofty mountains and mountains as barriers, and the imperial court has requisitioned so many military horses that the treasury is almost empty. ”

"Even Your Majesty, the internal expenditure is extremely large, and a large number of people ...... When they set out with the army, their parents, wives and children leaned on each other, and a large amount of land was barren, and the income of the coming year was only to be reduced, and in the future the treasury revenue would be insufficient, and it was inevitable that taxes would be imposed on the small people, and so on...... If it continues, the minister...... Fear...... The people are complaining. ”

Zhu Di looked at Chen Ji coldly.

Chen Ji continued earnestly: "That Hu family, although it is a wolf ambition, but after all, it is a matter of other countries, what does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty?" He usurped his throne, as long as he was willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty. But although Annan is weak, but there are hundreds of thousands of horses, occupy the time and place, there are mountains for the screen, miasma for the ge, I Ming labor division expedition, the army and the people are tired, to the Baihe River, it is the end of the strong crossbow, how to win? ”

"The minister was in the military department, and he analyzed the situation in Annan with the military department, and secretly thought that it was ...... The battle ...... Even if it is a victory, it is a tragic victory, rather than an excessive expedition, it is better for the imperial court to reduce the taxes of the people and recuperate, which is the best plan. The so-called upper army is plotting, then the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. ”

"The so-called conspiracy is not to fight, the so-called lack of friendship, this is to know how to be powerful, to make it surrender. As for the invasion of troops and siege of the city is the next policy, there are thousands of miles in the north and south of Annan, there are hundreds of cities, the army and the people are separated from our Ming Dynasty, if you want to win, it is to add another 200,000 soldiers and horses, and it will take three or five years to be able to determine this Annan. ”

"But what did the imperial court get in exchange for paying so much money and food, killing and wounding so many soldiers, and wasting so many fields? Your Majesty, please think again. ”

What he said is reasonable, but it makes people speechless.

Xie Jin took a deep look at this Chen Ji and couldn't help but appreciate it.

Zhu Di was already angry in his heart, and he was about to say something.

At this time, a eunuch from the General Administration Department came and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there are two reports from Annan. ”

When Zhu Di heard Annan, his brows furrowed slightly, and he only said, "Take it." ”

The eunuch hurriedly slipped the music in.

Zhu Di opened the first book, his heart trembled slightly, maybe ...... It's time for bad news.

More than half a month has passed, and more than half a month, the besieged Zhu Gaoxu's military horses should also be ......

Qiu Fu and Xie Jinren also expected this situation, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, and they all hung their heads and were silent.

Zhu Di opened the recital: "The criminal minister Zhu Gaoxu played the ......"

The word...... Zhu Di was stunned.

Zhu Gaoxu is not dead?

He hurriedly continued to look at it carefully.

"The criminal ministers and Zhu Yong, Zhang Xuan, Qiu Fu, Gu Xingzu, etc., led the four guards and a battalion of men and horses, directly attacked Annan, fought hard for days, until June 13, broke the Hu army's horses, beheaded 23,000 people, captured countless people, June 16, the minister attacked Shenglong, fierce battle from dawn to noon, broke the city, punished 3,740 people, captured the Hu clan, old and young, Annan then set ......"

Zhu Di was stunned when he looked at it directly.

A lone army, directly into the hinterland, embattled, and extremely fast, turned to the four directions, first broke the opponent's army, and then attacked the city all night...... This is the capital of the king of Annam...... That's it.

Come...... There is a next military plan, of course, when he sends it out, he is afraid that they have already sent troops and began to sweep through the central and southern parts of Annan.

Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "Okay, good ......"

As soon as he said yes, Qiu Fu felt that it was going to be bad.

Those who are familiar with it know that His Majesty's temperament is to scold his mother when he is happy, and to applaud when he is unhappy.

Where he is......... I'm afraid it's gone.

Xie Jinren and the others trembled, only feeling that the next step should be the wrath of thunder, but I don't know who is going to be unlucky today.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "It's really good to be in the fuck, it's so fast, I'm not as good, is this a death and then a life?" Adventure is adventure, but the results are fruitful! ”

At this time, everyone couldn't help but be suspicious.

Zhu Di put down the song and said lightly: "Annan has broken through!" It doesn't take three or five years, it doesn't need hundreds of thousands of horses, and it doesn't need to work hard to mobilize the people, my son Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Yongren, etc., but more than a month of hard work, broke Annan, the rebellious minister Hu clan, and escorted the capital to punish the crime in a few days, and the rest of the remnants have been wiped out! ”

“……”

The words fell, and the needles in the temple could be heard.

Immediately, Zhu Di's face turned cold, and he looked at Chen Ji before: "What Chen Qingjia said is not unreasonable, it's just ...... Others can calculate this account for me, but Chen Qing's family cannot. ”

Chen Ji was stunned and looked incredulous.

Zhu Di immediately said angrily: "Because you are the right attendant of the military department, the right attendant of the military department, it is not easy to manage Ma Zheng, but you talk about the so-called benevolence and righteousness all day long, and you take the abacus beads and me to calculate these accounts all day long!" I came to ask you, how much food is needed for this expedition, and how many men and horses have been requisitioned? If Annan can be won, how much profit will my Ming have? Now that the imperial court is going to the West, what is lacking is a good port in the West, which is Annan...... How many good ports can be provided for ships going to the Western Ocean? ”

"What you are planning is nothing more than what is happening at the moment, what I say...... It's a matter of a thousand years. You keep saying that you are exempt from taxes and resting with the people, so I have come to ask you, if there is no conquest, can the people really get rest? Exempt Taxes...... How much can the people profit? If the things of the world can be taught to understand people like you, then ...... What do you need so many soldiers for, and what is the use of me? It's better to let you settle the accounts alone, and it will be peaceful. ”

Chen Ji hurriedly bowed down and said, "Minister...... Minister......"

He had some heartache.

It's good, why was this Annan broken!

This...... It's a bit unbelievable.

So Chen Ji said: "Your Majesty, this is a ...... Whether ......"

When he said this, he said that he spoke the hearts of many people.

Oh, yes...... It's so weird here, it can't be a false report, right?

Zhu Di suddenly snorted coldly, but picked up the second note, looked down, and said, "You mean Zhu Gaoxu deceived me?" ”

"Minister...... The minister didn't dare. ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "So...... Will Zhu Neng also deceive the king? This letter is a note by Zhu Neng to impeach Zhu Gaoxu and others, saying that they occupied Annam, cut off the main route for the Chinese army to go south, and did not follow the orders of General Zhengyi......"

Chen Ji's face changed, this is another unbelievable thing.

However, he knows very well that this is a very common drama of the soldiers in front of him competing for merit.

It's just that this time, it's even more eye-opening, in order to compete for merit, even father and son turned against each other.

Zhu Di scolded: "Zhu Yong, this guy is really unfilial, even his father treats him like this, I must scold him well, and fuck him!" ”

Zhu Di showed a little annoyance on the road, but only Zhu Di knew how ecstatic he was at this time.

The gloom in my heart is swept away.

At this moment, someone said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and now I have raised my hand to destroy Annan, this immortal feat." Your Majesty's martial arts and martial arts will be glorious for all eternity. ”

These words, like timely rain, suddenly reached Zhu Di's heart.

Zhu Di was overjoyed: "Haha......"

He said beautifully: "These words don't need to be written into the Di Bao, there is a suspicion of me boasting." ”

Zhang Anshi understood, this sentence should not only be written into the Di Bao, but also a few great Confucians should be summoned to write the main article, and a good article must be written around this sentence as the central idea.

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister only heard that at the beginning, Kublai Khan, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, conquered Annam twice, and both returned with a feather. The prosperity of the Yuan people's war is unprecedented. But His Majesty swallowed the land of Annam with only one partial division, which shows that Kublai Khan's boasting of his great martial arts can be compared with His Majesty, but it is like a firefly that competes with day and night. ”

"Although His Majesty does not allow the ministers to see the newspapers in the palace, the ministers think that they should not only see the newspapers, but also talk about the past of Kublai Khan's expedition to Annan and his return, so that the people of the world will know that the Yuan people have no civil rule, only know how to show force, and can be compared with my Ming Dynasty, not only the civil rule is far inferior to my Ming Zhengshuo, but its martial arts are also inferior."

Zhu Di was happy.

He said: "If you just praise my martial arts, I don't like it." But it is necessary to compare with these Tartars. Educate the people...... Let the military and the people know that the previous dynasty is not more than Erer, and if Emperor Taizu Gao knows, he will be pleased. Now that China is unified, that is a little Tatar...... How can it be compared. ”

Zhang Anshi wrote down a few key points in his heart, and his heart was happy.

This time, he actually ...... I feel very sure, after all, this is really a big blood, the world's first mule and horse army, well-equipped, and there is still a weapon generation gap for the Annamite people.

But after all, the war has always been a little bad to say, after all, in the last life, wasn't Italy also pressed to the ground by the black uncles?

Thus...... The key issue here is people.

Now that he has finally won, Zhang Anshi's floating heart has finally fallen.

Zhu Di was also immersed in joy at this time.

However, a veteran like him quickly noticed the cattiness in it.

Zhang Qing ...... I remember when you asked them to bring a few tips, what did you instruct in these tips? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister did give a few tips, and I am not afraid of His Majesty's jokes when I say it, here...... It did instruct some new ways of playing. ”

Zhu Di was stunned and said, "A new way of playing? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister has always thought that when the weapon of a military horse changes, then its combat methods will also change. And to deal with Annan...... If you want to win it in one fell swoop, you can only take a quick victory, so ...... The minister is guilty, and these brothers are so risky, it is indeed the minister's religion. ”

Changed the style of play?

Zhu Di became interested, so he said: "In any case, all the ministers have merit in this battle, and in a few days, you and Zhu Gaoxu will come to the charter and talk about it in detail for me." ”

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "The prince's wife and brother can be a guanzhong in the future." ”

Zhu Gaochi first heard that Zhu Gaochu was unharmed, and his heart was happy, and at this time, he was praised by his father, and he was a little excited, and hurriedly said: "Son...... Erchen ...... Father......

He stammered, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Di smiled slightly, not surprised, and looked at Xie Jinren and the others: "Today's big victory, the whole world celebrates, Qing and the others should learn from it." ”

Immediately, I remembered that Empress Xu was still worried.

So he said: "If there is another report from Annan, it will be presented immediately." ”

With that, he told the ministers to retire, and he hurried away.

A few ...... Silent and silent.

Xie Jin, in particular, was the most frustrated.

He looked up and saw Zhu Gaochi waiting for Zhu Di to leave, so he happily pulled Zhang Anshi and said something, that kind of joy that was difficult to hide, so that Xie Jin had a kind of goddess that he had pursued, and as a result, he rolled the sheets.

He concealed the jealousy in his heart, and his heart was irritable, so he left the main hall.

Now Hu Guang and Yang Rong rarely spend time alone with him, and they don't say anything from their hearts.

So Hu Guang and Yang Rong stayed behind.

Xie Jin frowned, lowered his head and thought, there was a kind of uneasiness in his heart, thinking of the newspaper...... He felt a hint of fear.

Thinking that Zhang Anshi and Zhu Gaoxu had made such great contributions, the pattern of the court and the central government might also change at any time, so I was even more unhappy in my heart.

"Dismissal, dismissal ......"

Unexpectedly, it was Chen Ji, the right attendant of the military department, who hurriedly caught up.

Xie Jin slowed down, waited for Chen Ji to appear behind him, and still paced slowly.

After keeping up with Xie Jin's pace, Chen Ji lowered his voice and said, "Xie Gong...... The battle ...... Afterwards...... I'm afraid that in the future, there will be constant wars. Your Majesty has got the sweetness this time, but I am afraid that ...... More reckless militarism. ”

Xie Jin said coldly: "Why did Chen Shilang say this? Don't you know...... Did Your Majesty just say that you want to kill those who spread rumors? ”

Chen Ji smiled bitterly: "We are ministers, how can we talk about it?" Xia Guan is just worried about the future, just afraid that His Majesty will follow the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

Xie Jin was unhappy in his heart, and said: "Yes, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the lords and relatives were so dazzling, but this is the way to take trouble, and the seeds of the Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline were planted. ”

"Xie Gong is really an understanding person."

Xie Jin said: "Huh...... The biggest pain point of people is that sometimes they see the world too clearly, and the more clearly they see, the more painful it is, and it is better to learn from those fools, who know nothing and are ignorant in this life. ”

Chen Jidao: "Can't Xie Gong reverse the overall situation?" ”

Xie Jin turned his head and glanced at Chen Ji deeply: "Your Majesty will win the world immediately, with Emperor Taizu Gao as a model, who can reverse his mind?" ”

Chen Ji thought for a while and said: "When the prince ascends to the pole, he will definitely be able to clean up the source in the future, turn things around, and turn the bad government around." ”

His voice was soft.

Xie Jin smiled faintly and said: "There is a Zhang Anshi by the prince's side, so it is impossible to rest with the people anymore and let the world be stable." ”

After hearing this, Chen Ji said disapprerovantly: "Zhang Anshi's relatives, how can you ...... I can ...... to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Jin said: "I advise you, don't pin your hopes on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince anymore. ”

This is outside the hall, and it is the most dangerous place to say these words, but it is open here, and you can see the surroundings at a glance, but it is a good place to say some private words.

If you go back to the public house, you are worried that the partition wall has ears.

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "If this is the case, then when will the people be able to live in peace." ”

He sighed, and continued: "In my opinion, a big victory is better than no victory, and a big defeat is better than a big defeat. ”

"I heard...... In some places, because of the conquest, it has reached the point where ten rooms and nine empty rooms are emptied, and the local gentry are miserable, and they all say...... Nine times out of ten, there are only old and weak women and children who rent land, which is an ominous sign. ”

Xie Jin did not respond.

But he was the first to walk quickly.

Chen Ji, who was staying, felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't guess this Xie Gong's mind for a while, but when he turned back, he found that Hu Guang and Yang Rongju were walking over.

Chen Jicheng saluted Hu Guang and Yang Rong in fear.

The two of them, however, just nodded at him, and then passed over to his side and hurried away.

……

"Grand Duke, Grand Duke."

At this time, a little eunuch with a very clever face walked to the celebrant in a broken step.

Today, it was Yishiha who was on duty, and when Yishaha heard the voice, he gently put down his pen, and then looked up at the little eunuch and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "When I just left the palace, the slave and maid saw it from a distance, and Xie Gong was angry on his face, and then Chen Ji, the right attendant of the military department, whispered a lot to him, and both of them didn't look good. Today's victory, the whole world celebrates, can ......"

His voice grew lower.

There was no joy or anger on his face, and he listened patiently, and then only said lightly: "Got it." ”

The little eunuch said again: "Wenyuan Pavilion and the military department...... Do you still need to arrange another person? ”

Yisha was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Where is Wenyuan Pavilion...... There's already a Jinyi guard's sitting, right? ”

The little eunuch said: "The commander of the discipline should act carefully, monitor the hundred officials, and have his own arrangements. ”

Yisha said: "Then don't interfere so as not to attract the dissatisfaction of the Jinyi Guard, I always feel that the people in our palace are ...... The hand is stretched too long. ”

The little eunuch said disdainfully: "Speaking of which, what is Jinyiwei, the Grand Duke, you serve Your Majesty day and night, and are in charge of the affairs of the eunuchs in the inner court, how he Ji Gang is domineering outside the palace, can be compared with you......"

Yishu Ha suddenly frowned and said: "These words, don't talk nonsense, we are slaves, Ji Gang is a courtier, let's be slaves...... There is one thing to keep in mind. ”

The little eunuch looked more and more solemn when he saw it, and said busily and respectfully: "Please make it public." ”

Yishu said: "That is, you have to know who you are, don't think that you walk around your majesty a lot, and you won't put anyone in your eyes, otherwise, you will suffer in the future." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said embarrassedly: "The slave knows." ”

Yishu Ha said again: "In a few days, there are a few old eunuchs in the East Palace who are going to rest, they are too old, and it is not good to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, so they have to go to Xiaoling to retire." Let's think about it, and then I will choose you to serve in the East Palace. ”

When the eunuch heard this, he was very surprised, so he hurriedly bowed down excitedly and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." ”

Yisha looked at the little eunuch, but patiently advised: "Going to the East Palace, it is different from being in this palace, you have to remember one thing, in the East Palace, you can't ask around anymore." ”

"In this palace, you are the eyes and ears of Your Majesty! But when you go to the East Palace, you have to be deaf and dumb, but anything that involves the East Palace, whether it is His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess, or the Emperor's grandson, oh, and that Cheng Enbo Zhang Anshi, there are some things, you know it, but you can't pass on a word, otherwise, you won't be able to last long. ”

The little eunuch listened carefully to these words, and said in surprise: "Can't even the grand duke speak?" ”

Yisha looked at him with a heavy gaze and said, "Yes, even we can't say it." What's up...... It's all rotting in the stomach and brought into the coffin. ”

The little eunuch met Yishaha's serious gaze, and seemed to understand Yishaha's kindness at this moment, so he said, "Yes." ”

………………

A few days later.

Another express message from Zhu Gaoxu was sent to the capital as soon as possible.

This one, unlike the others, is not like a recital, but rather like a huge package.

Inside the heavy package was obviously a stack of papers. This is a pain for the person who is in a hurry for 800 miles in the urgent delivery shop, carrying such a thing on his back, day and night, whether it is a man or a horse, he can't stand it.

On that day, Zhu Di went to see Empress Xu in high spirits and told Empress Xu about the situation in Annan.

Zhu Di felt a little strange.

Because Empress Xu was not as overjoyed as he imagined when she learned that Zhu Gaoxu was unharmed.

But Zhu Di didn't care, so in the past few days, he took the trouble to tell Queen Xu about the significance of this battle, and how this battle was different from the wars of previous dynasties.

Of course...... A little bragging, too.
