Chapter 45: The Great Pilgrimage
"Open up the pattern, our vision should not be limited to the Ming Dynasty, it should be in a broader distance!"
Zhu Gaochi's voice couldn't stop being a little excited: "Zhenjiang, Huai'an? Pei County, Jinan, Dezhou? No, our goal is not only here, to defeat Annan, and I will have a natural granary. Take the Jurchens first, send troops to Korea, and use North Korea as a pedal to occupy the Wa Kingdom, that is countless silver mountains! ”
Yao Guangxiaoxin said that it was really wonderful, feelings or am I short-sighted?
"Shizi, who taught you these words?" Yao Guangxiao is numb.
The prince has a mellow temperament, and he can't think of so many shocking ideas, it must have been instigated by someone.
"These are all taught to me by Uncle Qi." Zhu Gaochi replied.
Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little angry in his heart.
King Qi, especially King Qi!
What the hell is this King Qi thinking?
was imprisoned in the palace by Jianwen, but he was able to put it to death and come back to life, seize Jinling, and let tens of thousands of soldiers in the most elite Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty be wiped out in ashes, and capture Zhenjiang with 3,000 horsemen.
Just when Yao Guangxiao thought that King Qi had the ambition to be the emperor, he gave up the two cities of Zhenjiang and Jinling to King Yan.
Yao Guangxiao thought that he was on a par with Liu Bowen and had no last resort, but every move of King Qi was beyond his expectations.
And now, Zhu Gaochi, who Yao Guangxiao is quite optimistic about, has also been influenced by King Qi.
Who the hell is this?!
Yao Guangxiao was about to refute the fallacies of Zhu Gaochi's ancient words, but after pondering in his heart, he was shocked to find that he seemed to have no way to argue?
Could it be that I have always been too small before? Or is King Qi's vision really so far-reaching?
Yao Guangxiao remembered what Zhu Gaochi said just now, "open up the pattern", and suddenly felt that his three views were scurrying in a weird direction.
……
New Year's Day
The first month is the end of the month, and its day is the first day, and the clouds are in the morning, and the clouds are in the yuanshuo.
Speaking of the New Year, saying the New Year, the New Year is finally here.
To be honest, Zhu Huan doesn't like to wear his own princely crown dress very much, prefers to wear simple and comfortable civilian clothes, occasionally green shirts, occasionally white shirts, anyway, his status is noble enough, and he is not afraid of wearing the clothes he has committed and being blamed.
In addition to the imperial robe, Zhu Huan can wear whatever he wants.
However, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if Zhu Huan is reluctant, he must wear his own crown dress.
Zhu Huan wore a leather jacket, covered with nine seams of black yarn, and used nine colorful jade beads before and after each seam. In the crown and hairpin, the tie is decorated with gold. The crown is inserted with a golden hairpin, which is tied to Zhu Ying.
In the past, Zhu Huan looked approachable from a distance, handsome and chic, but had the demeanor of a hermit. However, when I put on the crown dress today, it is more of the domineering of the king, which is intimidating.
"Yan Gang?"
"The last general!"
Zhu Huan sorted out his clothes and prepared to go out: "You follow me to the court meeting today." ”
The "Great Dynasty Meeting" is held at the beginning of each year, which is a kind of court ceremony with the highest standard of etiquette that began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and has been inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties. "Spring is said to be the dynasty, summer is said to be the sect, autumn is said to be the Hajj, winter is said to be the encounter, the time is said to be the meeting, and the Yin is said to be the same." This is the interpretation of the "Great Pilgrimage". To put it simply, the "Great Dynasty Meeting" means that hundreds of officials meet the Son of Heaven.
Yan Gang said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, the position of the last general is not enough, and I will participate in the great court meeting...... I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of criticism. ”
"What's there to criticize, who doesn't know now that you Yan Gang is the general of my 'Qi Four Tigers'?" Zhu Huan said disdainfully: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense, this king will break his legs!" ”
Yan Gang commanded three thousand white horse righteous followers, if he was listed in the establishment, he would be an officer from the third rank, not to mention that he was directly under the vassal king, and it was not a problem to be promoted to the third rank. But in fact, Yan Gang and his 3,000 white horses were subordinate to the "private army" and violated the ancestral teachings.
Zu Xun, the vassal king belongs to the guard, no more than three thousand.
However, among Zhu Huan's Qi Four Tigers, there are enough three thousand white horse righteous servants alone, and as for the musketeers and tiger and leopard riders, they are all up to twice the number of ordinary vassal kings, not to mention Wei Wushu.
In normal times, Zhu Huan would have been cut off by the captive private army with the intention of rebellion, and as for giving Yan Gang an official name, it would be even more impossible. But now, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to say more?
Yan Gang was quite moved when he heard Zhu Huan's words, and nodded heavily: "What His Highness says, that's what it is." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Zhu Huan, who was wearing the crown of the prince, put his hands behind his waist and walked out of the door: "Let's go, let me see what kind of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are." ”
……
In terms of the meteorology of a great country, at the beginning of the 15th century, no country could compare with the Ming Dynasty.
In the Daqing Palace, people from all walks of life are gathered. Some are high-ranking civil and military officials in the court, some are the honorable relatives inherited from Taizu when he raised the army, some are military generals in the palace of King Yan, and some are envoys from abroad.
Among these people, the Jianwen Party headed by the great Confucian Fang Xiaoru, the criminal department Shangshu Tyrant Zhao, the official department Shangshu Chen Di and others, appeared exceptionally high in the Daqing Palace, gathered together, and whispered to discuss the disobedient behavior of King Yan and King Qi, as well as the military generals who ridiculed the Yan Palace.
The military generals of the Yan Wangfu led by Zhu Neng also frowned slightly after hearing these words.
"A bunch of rebellious ministers and thieves can actually be on the grand court meeting of this Daqing Palace." The people of the Jianwen Party said sneeringly.
"Hmph, can they be arrogant for a while, can they be arrogant for a lifetime?"
"Our southern army is hundreds of thousands, Chen Bing Dezhou, Jinan, and Mr. Zicheng and Mr. Shangli are lobbying the kings. On this day, it can't collapse. ”
"That's it, this official wants to see how long these chaotic ministers and thieves can be arrogant!"
A general in the Yanwang Mansion couldn't help it, and pointed at the high-ranking officials of the Jianwen Party with a red neck and scolded: "Who the fuck are you talking about!" Say it again! ”
The great Confucian Fang Xiaoru stood up proudly: "Who we are talking about, you should know in your heart." You can't wait to stand up, is your heart weak? ”
The rest of the crowd applauded: "Well said! ”
"yes, what's wrong with your heart?"
"Weak heart? Be a thief? ”
"Bah, rebel thief!"
This made the general of the Yan Wangfu angry, and Zhu Neng pulled him back: "Don't make trouble for His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
Zhu Neng's heart naturally looked down on Fang Xiaoru and others, a group of stupid waste wood, who couldn't even see the current general trend, and actually dared to jump on their feet!
It's just that the overall situation has not stabilized now, and without the order of Lord Yan, he can't act without permission.
As soon as Zhu Neng retreated like this, even if the people of Yanwangfu were angry in their hearts, they could only hold their breath and retreat.
Fang Xiaoru and the others thought that Yan Wangfu had admitted it, and they cheered for a while.
As for the rest of the relatives, envoys and others, they are all watching the excitement and not thinking that it is a big deal, just caring about the fun.
The title handed down by the ancestors is the iron rice bowl, who is the emperor, and what is the glory with them?
"Who was talking about it just now?"
In the Daqing Palace, it was suddenly deserted, and only a cold voice echoed.
