In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Quan walked on the wide imperial road of the Forbidden City. CaiHonGeNXue//Hot Library//Last night, a palace eunuch came to the palace to announce the decree, and they thought that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the two of them to participate in the court meeting today was mostly related to the matter of Ouyang Lun, and discussed that after the court meeting was dispersed, if His Majesty the Emperor summoned them to meet in the study, they would help Ouyang Lun intercede, so that they could help each other when the two of them were in the domain, and solve the problem of the army's food and straw.

In the Fengtian Palace, two columns of civil and military officials stood solemnly, you look at me, I look at you, all of them were silent, each with a draft. Out of their own interests, there are those who intend to intercede with the horses, and those who want to ask the emperor to severely punish the horses, and there are also those who correct the laws of the country. Yesterday, Jin Yiwei went to the Horse Mansion to arrest Ouyang Lun, and commanded Jiang Xian to kill the Jinwuwei forbidden army on the street, causing a lot of trouble, and most of the officials below the six Shangshu in the DPRK knew about the fact that the horse was sent to the Imperial Prison for detention.

After some red tape of kneeling and nine knocks, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a dragon robe, slowly sat down and waved his hand with a calm face.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said that Ouyang Lun disregarded the laws of the Ming Dynasty and sold sea salt from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang without permission, and the imperial court levied heavy taxes on tea and other things in Liaodong, Shaanxi and Gansu. The people who were doing business under his command were so bold and reckless that they instructed Shaanxi and Gansu officials to escort sea salt and tea in official cars, and beat up the small officials of the inspection department to be disabled. More than 500,000 taels of silver were confiscated in the house, and all of them were charged to Taicang. Xue Jing, the head of the imperial study, held the holy decree in his hand and read it to this time, and after a slight pause, he slowly continued, "Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Xian, together with the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this case. ”

Xue Jing's rather sharp voice echoed in the main hall, and all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and they couldn't make a sound.

Zhan Hui, the secretary of the criminal department, was helpless to play a fold, and raised the matter of Ouyang Lun smuggling salt and tea, which was out of fear of Jiang Xian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who often used the investigation and punishment of greedy ink to eradicate dissidents among civil officials, and had to preemptively strike in order to protect Mingzhe, at this time, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor had actually killed Princess Anqing's husband, and there was no longer the leisurely look on his face, and he hurriedly fell to the ground, and responded respectfully, "My emperor Shengming, Weichen obeys the order." Thinking back to the terrifying torture of peeling the skin and grass, I can't help but sweat through the official clothes, and secretly say that I am lucky.

Zhu Quan was the same as the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, and they did not know that this seventh brother-in-law from Jinshi had been given death by the emperor's secret decree, and they were stunned and had to follow a group of civil and military officials to the ground, saying "My Emperor Shengming." "Listening to the voices of singing merit and praise one after another in the main hall, there are those who are afraid, and their voices tremble slightly. There are those who are comfortable and come from the bottom of their hearts. couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and secretly thought to himself that Ouyang Lun's death, the officials investigating the case would not need waste wood like Shang Fang's sword at all. If you are an official in later generations who relies on the power in your hands to protect your brother-in-law's old cousin, then you will at most viciously curse Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness and ruthlessness in denying his six relatives, but you can't justifiably say that he is favoritism. Because no matter what kind of official you are, the power in your hands cannot be compared with today's founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Yuanzhang ignores this matter, let you be one of the six books, whether you are a sharp-tongued official in the court, you can't help a relative like Ouyang Lun.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced coldly at the ministers in the hall who were lying on the ground, his eyes stayed on the body of Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and said angrily, "There are so many rabbit cubs, relying on their father as the founding father of my Ming Dynasty, who have made great contributions, and they are arrogant and luxurious, and they are forgetful." ”

When Li Jinglong raised his head slightly, he saw His Majesty the Emperor staring at him, sweating profusely, and his heart was frightened, and he was busy kowtowing again and again to confess his guilt and ask for punishment.

Zhu Quan heard Li Jinglong's words, and then he knew that Li Jinglong and Feng Wen, the son of Song Guogong, and other noble sons and daughters were young and good, and invited each other to give out two taels of silver, and created a gorgeous and incomparable painting boat, playing and frolicking on the Qinhuai River, but unexpectedly, he impeached a copy of the imperial history of the court.

Feng Sheng, who has gray hair, has always doted on his eldest son Feng Wen, and he can let him mess around on weekdays, until this time he knew that his precious son and Li Jinglong, a gang of bastard boys, actually staged such a good show on the Qinhuai River in Yingtian City, under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, and thought that His Majesty the Emperor's meals were often only four dishes and one soup, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, and immediately admitted that he had no way to teach his son, and implored the emperor to punish him.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Feng Sheng's plea, and his anger calmed down slightly, and he immediately passed down his will, ordering Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, to go to Shaanxi to train his troops, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, was demoted by one level.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished handling this matter, he looked at the civil and military officials standing on the left and right, and said slowly, "All of you Aiqing are ministers of the society, I hope you will wait for yourself and discipline your sons and sons-in-law in the family." I disposed of my son-in-law yesterday, and if he is unable to discipline you in the future, it must be no wonder that I am cold and ruthless. Speaking of this, he glanced at the Liangguo Gong Lanyu who was standing behind Fu Youde.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Quan and Zhu Di walked on the royal road, looking at the civil and military officials who silently left the palace and returned to their respective official offices, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Zhu Quan sighed secretly in his heart, and said that the emperor's disposition of Ouyang Lun was unexpectedly fast, and today I don't know how much the court wants to exonerate the concubine, or whether it is sprinkled with enthusiasm, and the long story demanding that Ouyang Lun be severely punished has become a piece of waste paper. Training is a long-term thing, Feng Sheng went to Shaanxi, but he was afraid that Feng Xuan would have to go with his father. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but hate Li Jinglong so much that the roots of his teeth secretly itched, and he hated to tie a boulder to his body and push him into the Qinhuai River to drown.

Outside the capital of Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Khanate, which was extremely far away from Yingtian, on the vast steppe, a cavalry of more than 100,000 nomadic tribes was standing in the cold autumn wind, waiting for their commander.

An old man in his fifties, dressed in silk cloak, wearing armor and gray hair, rode a tall blue-maned horse slowly, and the harrier eyes under the eagle's nose shot a ruthless and cold gaze. Standing on the war horse, no one can see the disability of his right foot, this is the Sultan of Timur, who was born in the Western Chagatai Khanate, established the Timurid Khanate after countless battles, and proclaimed himself a descendant of Genghis Khan.

As Timur drew his scimitar at his side, a silent Timur cavalry erupted one after another, howling like a tsunami, like a pack of wolves about to ravage the land.

Seeing that the morale of the army was high, Timur could not help bowing his head slightly, knowing in his heart that this group of cavalry, under his leadership, would be more fierce and ruthless than the wolves of the steppe, destroying all the pagan countries, burning their books, and killing them all, men, women, and children.

Looking at the southern sky, Timur suddenly remembered that the envoy he sent to the far side of the sky, who was said to have countless wealthy women and a vast and rich land, called the Ming Dynasty.

Many years ago, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, sent envoys to Timur to inform him that the Yuan Dynasty had fallen and asked him to belong to the Ming Dynasty as a vassal state. In this regard, Timur ignored it, since this spring, the envoys he sent witnessed an army from the Ming Dynasty, after the fishing sea swept Genghis Khan's descendants, the Golden Horde army of Togus Timur, to ashes, he indifferently woke up, this legend does not have any noble family background to rely on, but can overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty emperor who chased Genghis Khan's descendants to the Mobei grassland, also has a large number of cavalry that cannot be underestimated. He may be the most terrible opponent he will encounter in this life, even more terrifying than all his previous opponents combined. For this reason, Timur specially sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Because as a commander-in-chief, he deeply understands a truth, in order to conquer a powerful opponent, you must first understand him.

The conquest of the Golden Horde, the White Horde, the conquest of the mighty Ottoman Turkish Empire, and finally the distant Ming Dynasty, Timur turned his mind so viciously and led his army to gallop away.

Ouyang Lun, the brother-in-law with extraordinary literary talents, killed Old Man Zhu. The playful Li Jinglong scolded Old Man Zhu so much that he died down. Thinking of this, Zhu Quan couldn't help but feel excited, let out a low wail, and stepped into the Guozijian side by side with Xu Ying.

The figure on his side swayed, but he saw a young man in a light green shirt walking by himself, but it was Feng Xuan.

Zhu Quan thought that she had already gone to Shaanxi with her father, and when she met here, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and beckoned.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xuan suddenly seemed to be out of sight, and walked forward quickly.

Zhu Quan looked back at Xu Ying, who was staring at him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly thought to himself in his heart Seeing that this girl avoided me like a plague god, I am afraid that this matter is difficult to explain, could it be said in public that this king was on the Qinglou on the bank of the Qinhuai River that day, just enjoying the music, and did not do anything embarrassing? If I let my senior sister know that I and Zhu Laosi ate flower wine in Qunfang Pavilion on the bank of the Qinhuai River, I am afraid that I will have to take off a layer of skin.

Time flies, winter goes to spring, and the willows on the banks of the Qinhuai River also show a new green.

The sky is clear, the sky is cloudless, on both sides of the wide imperial road of the Forbidden City, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and behind them stand the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and the brightly armored Jinwuwei forbidden army, the tips of the snow-bright spears scorching in the sun.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a dragon robe, stood outside the Fengtian Palace, looking at a figure coming along the royal road in the distance, and he was very relieved. There is a reason for this arrangement today, but many years ago, an envoy was sent to a distant and unusually distant country, and the envoy of the Timurid Khanate came to Yingtian a few days ago, asking to see him, and to present his Khan Timur with a letter of friendship with the Ming Dynasty.

A bearded, stout man dressed in a sheepskin robe, led by an official of the Ministry of Rites, walked proudly and gradually came to the bottom of the royal stairs, which was none other than Manrahafisi, the envoy of the Timurid kingdom. The carved palaces in the distance did not put it in his heart, but since he stepped into the Forbidden City, it was like a city within a city, and the strong defense system shocked him.

As the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang, the envoy Manrahafisi was extremely reluctant in his heart, remembering the solemn confession of the Sultan on the occasion of his departure, but he still knelt down three times and bowed nine times.

The official of the Ministry of Rites held the national letter that had already been translated, and said loudly: "Timur, the Sultan of Timur, sent an envoy Manra Hafisi to meet His Majesty Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, with fifteen horses and two camels ....... ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved when he heard this, for no other reason, but that this Timurid country was the first country in the Western Regions to send an envoy to the court to recognize the Ming Dynasty. Immediately, the decree was announced to reward the messenger with eighteen ingots of platinum in Manra Hafisi, and the edict was feasted in the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Quan looked at this Manhafisi with burning eyes, and recalled in his mind the scene of the Timurid envoy who was accidentally captured after the great victory of the fishing with the blue jade army, and couldn't help but think about it.

When night fell, the crown prince Zhu Biao, Yan Wang Zhu Di, and Ning Wang Zhu Quan were all summoned to the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, took the teacup presented by Xue Jing, took a sip and gently placed it on the table, glanced at Zhu Biao and the other three, and asked with burning eyes, "I sent an envoy to Timur in the past, and this person is noncommittal." Today's sudden arrival, what do you think of this matter? ”

Zhu Quan knew that such a situation could not be encroached upon, so he was silent, waiting for the prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Di to speak first.

Zhu Biao sighed for a while and said, "In the eyes of Erchen, after all, Timur is the first country in the Western Regions to send an envoy to the court. ”

Zhu Di said slowly: "My father sent an envoy to this country in the past, informing me that the Ming Dynasty has been conquered by the Yuan Dynasty in the desert and unified China, and asked it to belong to my Ming Dynasty as a vassal minister. Today, although this Manhafisi is very respectful, he does not mention the identity of the vassal, which is quite an equal to my Ming Dynasty. In the humble opinion of his sons, all those who are proud must have something to rely on, but they are afraid that the military strength of this country will be greater than we think. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di's words were very agreeable, so he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and turned his head to look at Zhu Quan again.

Zhu Quan groaned and said in a deep voice, "The so-called coming without reciprocal is rude, and the sons agree with what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees, and he should send an envoy to the country." Speaking of this, after a pause, he continued, "It is better to send some more martial arts and capable Jinyi guards in the envoy group." Along the way, explore the water-shaped places suitable for the army to camp, the climate, and the routes that are most different from the routes of the army, and it is best to draw a detailed map to understand its strength, population, religion and culture, etc., and keep it for other purposes. ”

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Quan was ready to make a big move, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

Zhu Quan said lightly: "The barbarian mountain wolf, the ambition is rampant. The barbarian chieftains of these nomadic tribes are like the barbarian chieftains of Temujin in the past, and once they succeed, they often have to daydream of conquering the whole world. When they can come and rob us and kill us, they will never like to be willing to exchange business. This Turkic cripple pretended to be a descendant of Temujin, which shows that his wolf ambition is a speck. After the great victory of fishing in the past, Timur's envoy fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, and after suffering a lot, he also confided in some information about the Sultan of Timur, and Zhu Quan knew a little about it.
