At the end of December of the first year of Hongxi, Beiping, the Forbidden City Shang Shufang.

Zhu Fatpang looked at the music in his hand, his frowning brows, and he didn't stretch at all.

This piece was sent last night, and after reading it, he didn't sleep well last night, and his mind was thinking about how to arrange it.

This old man has just handed over the country to him, and it turns out that this is good, and there will be rebellions below.

What does this mean?

Does this mean that he is fat and incompetent, and he can't manage this huge empire.

Since becoming the emperor, Zhu Fatpang has gradually understood the old man's feelings.

There is a great emperor like his grandfather in front, and there is also his father's Yongle Emperor who opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and must be famous in history, as the successor of the two, Zhu Fatpang's pressure is really not ordinary.

Although his father told him that he did not expect him to expand his territory, as long as he could keep the country and pass it on to the next generation safely.

But who wants to live a mediocre life, maybe he didn't care about these when he was the prince before, but since he became the emperor, Zhu Fatpang didn't want to be the light of his father's generation, and he didn't even have a shadow.

He wants to radiate his own light, he wants to radiate his own heat, he wants to leave his name in the history books.

I don't want future generations to know this in the history books of the future.

This is the son of the Yongle Emperor, the father of the Emperor of XX, and the emperor whose name no one even wants to mention.

When he wanted future generations to introduce him, Zhu Di, the father of Emperor Hongxi, and Zhu Zhangui, the son of Emperor Hongxi.

In this way, he has not walked in this world in vain, nor has he been an emperor once, nor has he been a prince in obscurity for more than ten years.

"Your Majesty, Mu Cheng, Yang Rong, and Yu Qian are waiting outside to be summoned."

Just when Zhu Chupang was holding the chapter and frowning and pondering, thinking about whether the method he came up with was appropriate, the personal little eunuch he had accompanied since childhood walked in slowly, reporting that the person he was going to summon was already waiting outside.

Putting down the music in his hand, Zhu Chupang hurriedly said. "It's cold, let them come in quickly, don't freeze!"

"Chen Yang Rong, Mu Cheng, Yu Qian see Your Majesty!"

The three people wearing two red and one blue official uniforms walked in with a cold air and saluted Zhu Chubby.

"Get up, there's no outsider, no need to be polite."

Laughing and waving his hand to let the three of them get up, Zhu Chupang beckoned the personal little eunuch to serve hot soup, then picked up the piece he had just read on the table, and led the three of them to the living room of the next room.

Zhu Chupang is an easy-going person, there are not so many rules, and he is also very respectful of the courtiers, and he does not sit high on top when he summons ministers like other emperors, showing his status and majesty.

Although he was often complained about by his father and son when he did this, he didn't care, anyway, how comfortable he was.

Later, he even asked the people in the palace to prepare a living room in the room next to the Shang study.

This living room, covered with a fine Persian carpet, contains the finest leather sofas delivered from the Chamber of Commerce, and next to the wall, there is a large fireplace, and a roaring fire is burning behind the fireproof glass, warming the whole room.

"No outsiders, let's do it, the ginseng soup has been hot in the small kitchen in the back, it's cold this day, you can also drink something to warm up."

When he came to the living room, Zhu Chupang warmly invited the three of them to sit down.

Although Zhu Fatpang didn't care about those false courtesies, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, Yu Qian and the three of them would not take it seriously, and after thanking him, when Zhu Fatpang sat down on the single sofa, the three of them found a place to sit down.

"This is the piece sent from Jiaozhi yesterday, I thought about it last night and had some clues, but I still want to hear your thoughts and see if there is a better solution."

put the music in his hand on the glass coffee table, and then Zhu Chupang learned from his father with his hands in his sleeves, watching the three of them talk about the music.

"What about the three of you, one has participated in the war in Jiaozhi, one has served as a governor in a nearby province, and the other is an important minister in the court, you can see how to deal with this matter."

The three of them glanced at each other when they heard this, and finally, under the humility of Yang Rong and Mu Cheng, Yu Qian, who had just returned from the Western Regions at the beginning of the year and served as the secretary of the military department, picked up the chapter.

Yu Qian is less than 30 this year, to be honest, at his age, when he is the secretary of the military department, he is in an important position in the court, and there are still few exchanges between ancient and modern times.

When Yu Qian took over as the secretary of the military department at the beginning of the year, there was actually a lot of gossip below.

said that Yu Qian was able to be promoted so quickly, completely relying on his cousin's relationship, without his cousin blowing the pillow wind in Zhu Zhangui's ears, even if Yu Qian was talented, it would be impossible to climb to this position now.

Regarding the following rumors, Yu Qian didn't care at all.

Whether he relied on his cousin's relationship or not, he knew best.

He can get to this position at this age now, in addition to his personal ability, the most important thing is that he and Zhu Zhangui are the same people, both of whom care about the people of the world.

It is precisely because the two have a common topic, coupled with his own talent and ability to do things, as well as the credit gained from fighting on the battlefield many times, that he got his current position.

Of course, Yu Qian can't deny that he can climb so fast, and he still has a certain relationship with his cousin and nephew named Zhu Qizhen, but only he knows how big the proportion is.

The chapter was written by Ma Qi, the eunuch of the Jiaozhi Supervision Army, which stated that Li Li, the leader of the Annan rebels, had been making trouble in the past two years, and this year he was coerced by tens of thousands of rebels to resist the rule of the Ming Dynasty and kill court officials to disrupt local security.

He and the garrison general Huang Fu have encircled and suppressed the rebels many times this year, but they have all returned in vain, and even their own casualties are not small, and the local people are also rebelling frequently.

The rebel side was not only not exterminated, but with the increasing power of victory, now the rebel army has approached more than 100,000 people, which has threatened the dominance of the Ming Dynasty in Jiaozhi.

In the end, Ma Qi requested in the recital that the imperial court should allocate new weapons to the Jiaozhi garrison army as soon as possible, so that they could suppress the local rebellion as soon as possible and restore the health and stability of Jiaozhi again.

"This Maggie?"

Looking at the signature on the chapter, Yu Qian frowned slightly, and it could be seen from the expression on his face that he did not have a good impression of this person.

Mu Cheng, who was next to him, noticed Yu Qian's expression and didn't say anything, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Mu Cheng's disdain was not aimed at Yu Qian, when Yu Qian was the governor of Yungui, he had contact with Yu Qian and knew that this was a capable person, not like the rumors below, who could be promoted so quickly, completely relying on the relationship between his cousin and nephew

The disdain he had just now was aimed at Ma Qi's eunuch.

This guy relied on Zhu Di's trust in him, and did nonsense on the Jiaozhi side, like embezzlement and bribery, bullying good people, encroaching on fertile land, forcibly buying and selling, and doing countless evil things.

Jiaozhi's people who care about Daming are forced by this guy's series of means, and that bit of goodwill is completely gone, and now in Jiaozhi, Daming is synonymous with evil and greed.

Even when a woman scares a child, she will shout that the Great Ming Man is coming, and those children will shrink into their mother's arms in fear when they hear this shout.

It can be seen from this that Ma Qi has had a bad influence on Daming.

It can even be said that the reason why Jiaozhi is eroded like this, this guy has at least more than 9 percent of the responsibility, as for who the rest of the one percent is, Mu Chengcheng doesn't dare to say, sometimes he doesn't even dare to think about it.

When worshipping his ancestors the year before last, Mu Cheng also mentioned this matter to Zhu Zhangui, and named the possibility of rebellion on the Jiaozhi side, hoping that the imperial court would send him more new weapons so that he could bring them back and prepare.

As a result, after he came, he didn't go back, he was taken to Beiping by the old man, and he was given a home, and even the people from his hometown were taken over.

Now he is just hanging an idle post as a squire in the military department in the court, and he usually goes to the military department to punch in, anyway, the people in the military department didn't give him an errand to do, so he should go out to walk and get a salary.

The Mu family has fallen to this point, and Mu Cheng understands in his heart that this is the old man cutting the power of their Mu family.

But what can you know?

Thinking of the million-strong army at the parade, as well as the mighty and domineering artillery, the majestic cavalry corps, and the last appearance of the giant in the air that shocked him all over, the little flame in his heart that was not convinced was extinguished.

The strength is not as good as others, and it is not okay to be unconvinced!

Although he was taken in the right, in Mu Cheng's mind, with his reminder, the court would definitely pay attention to Jiaozhi.

What made him puzzled was that the imperial court didn't care about Jiaozhi at all, and the old man didn't send troops to guard at all, and he didn't even ask.

Even Mu Cheng said that at the beginning of last year, the old man also gave Ma Qi a holy decree of commendation, praising him for his good role in Jiaozhi, and stabilizing the majesty of the court.

Mu Cheng was just silent about this, he said everything he should say, he did everything he should do, how the court chose has nothing to do with him, and besides, he is just an idle soldier now, and the things in the south have nothing to do with him.

In fact, Mu Cheng didn't know that at the beginning, the old man planned to send a general to lead the troops over, and by the way, he pressed Ma Qi's pit back for trial, but he was stopped by Zhu Zhangui later.

In Zhu Zhangui's words, although Jiaozhi has been a Yanhuang territory since ancient times, it can be divided for hundreds of years in the Yuan and Song dynasties.

A hundred years, that's a few generations, coupled with their own independence, their thinking has already changed, and they no longer have the memory of Yanhuang in their bones, only their own country and their own race.

This kind of area that already has a national concept, it is very difficult to subdue it, even if some people are concerned about the Ming Dynasty, it will not play a big role, once there are twists and turns in the future, it is likely to be lost again, and it will be even more difficult to pull it back after being lost.

Why has Jiaozhi been making trouble for so long?

Is it really a rebellion among the local people?

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe this.

Without the support of those gentry and nobles, with those illiterate mud legs, they can be entangled with the powerful Ming for so long, deceiving ghosts.

The reason why those gentry opposed the Ming Dynasty was also very simple.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty did not come, they were the kings of this territory, the nobles of this territory, and they held the power of life and death of the people at the bottom.

But now that Da Ming is here, their status has not only plummeted, but even what they used to do has been banned.

It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury.

enjoyed a life of no one to be disciplined, who is willing to be controlled by others, a miserable life.

But Daming and they didn't dare to object, for fear of losing their lives because of this, and they wouldn't even be able to enjoy their current life.

Therefore, they secretly supported those rebels, hoping that these rebels would defeat the Ming Dynasty, and then when they won victory in the future, they would stand up as supporters, return to their high position, and continue to enjoy a good life as a blessing.

Knowing the thoughts of those people in Jiaozhi, coupled with the disgusting operations of those monkeys in later generations, Zhu Zhangui didn't want to recognize these guys as his own people, let alone take these disgusting guys into his own big family, and tarnish the great bloodline and spiritual inheritance of Yanhuang.

So this kind of rebel who is born and is no longer obedient and difficult to manage, the solution given by Zhu Zhangui is to drown directly in the urinal.

But the Ming Dynasty, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, has nominally attached to the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to drive away or use other methods to deal with the people and gentry of Jiaozhi for no reason.

So at this time, there is a need for a person who carries the same black pot as Qin Hui, and this person is Ma Qi.

Ma Qi, Jin Yiwei and Moon Shadow Guard, has already investigated clearly, it is completely a rat and a scourge, such a stinky rat that destroys the interests of the country and is selfish, and a thousand knives are the lightest punishment.

So even if the old man and Zhu Zhangui knew what this guy was doing on the Jiaozhi side, they chose to turn a blind eye and even issued a compliment.

The purpose is to let this guy force the whole Jiaozhi to rebel, and then the imperial court will completely wipe out this place, and then the people who will move the Ming Dynasty will permanently earn this territory.

"What do you think?"

After Yu Qian finished reading the chapter, after Yang Rong took it, Zhu Chupang asked Yu Qian, who frowned slightly, and wanted to hear his thoughts on the secretary of the military department.

"This place has been separated from my Yanhuang for hundreds of years, and the concept of Yanhuang is no longer in my beliefs, coupled with the misdeeds of local officials, it is normal for this kind of thing to happen."

As soon as Yu Qian opened his mouth, he said the reason for this situation in Jiaozhi, and the situation in this area of Jiaozhi, he knew it when he was the governor of Yungui.

Later, when I met Zhu Zhangui, I told him about it, but Zhu Zhangui just smiled and said that everything was under control, and then said no more.

Yu Qian, who was very familiar with Zhu Zhangui, understood that Zhu Zhangui might have his own plans, plus he had just taken office in the Western Regions and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't care about this matter anymore.

I heard about Jiaozhi again, it was when Zhu Chupang just said.

Regarding Yu Qian's answer, Zhu Panpang was pleased to agree, and at the same time sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being a capable person that his son fancied, and he would say the main point directly.

"So what do you think, decided to fight?"

Zhu Panpang then asked.

Yu Qian groaned for a moment, first nodded, and then shook his head.

"After all, they have my Yanhuang blood, but they are just a little rebellious, and the minister's idea is to defeat them first, and then deal with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the cholera area to appease the local people, and then give preferential treatment in policy, and then completely accept this place."

Zhu Chupang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, Yu Qian's thoughts were similar to his, and when he received the music last night, he had some ideas for dealing with it.

The only thing that made him struggle was the question of whether to start a fight.

After all, the relationship between the two races is not good, and if there is another war and causes large-scale deaths, I am afraid that the relationship between the two parties will not be combined, but the hatred will become deeper and deeper, which will not be in the interests of the imperial court.

"The minister disagrees, if we do this, then what will the rest of the people think. In this way, once they have a bad life, they will rebel, and they want to use this method to obtain the benefits they have, and if they last, the court will not be chaotic. ”

Mu Cheng objected and voiced his concerns.

Yang Rong, who finished reading the recital, also nodded slightly in agreement.

"What Mu Guogong said is good, once this matter starts, it will be difficult to stop in the future, we have to be more cautious."

】

Since Yang Shiqi was transferred, the remaining Er Yang has also been much more low-key, and many things can not be said without speaking, this is not because they see it, but because they can't do it.

That prince is a really ruthless person, Yang Shiqi is an old minister of the East Palace, he has worked hard for the country for most of his life, and he was replaced when he was replaced, so you can imagine how much influence the newly appointed prince has on the court and how much influence he has on the emperor.

If the two of them don't want to be sent overseas to retire like Yang Shiqi in the future, then they must do everything well, and strive not to be picked on by the new prince and kicked away.

"Then, according to the meaning of the two, they will send a large army to conquer and suppress, and then give a heavy fine."

The two objected, but Yu Qian didn't care, everyone has their own ideas, this is the court, not his Yiyantang, it is normal for someone to put forward different opinions.

Mu Cheng and Yang Rong glanced at each other, Mu Cheng didn't say anything, after all, he had already said this, the court didn't make a move, and he must have his own thoughts.

Yang Rong groaned for a while and looked at Zhu Chubby.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what does the Emperor and the Crown Prince mean, if the minister remembers correctly, they should be on the other side of the South China Sea, and they should know what happened in Jiaozhi."

Zhu Panpang shook his head, "The messenger who came reported that because he was not sure where the old man and my son were, and the matter was urgent, he directly sent the news to us." ”

To be honest, it was really difficult for Zhu Fatpang to make a decision about whether to fight or not, after all, in his thinking, any war would only happen if politics could not solve it.

In fact, his initial idea was to send someone to negotiate peace first, and then fight if he couldn't get along.

But then he thought about his old man and his son, if he did it according to this method, with the quick temper of his two ancestors, he would definitely complain about him afterwards.

It is precisely because of these reasons that on the second day of his ascension to the throne, he divided the work with his son, and he only handled the internal affairs of the country and was responsible for the logistics and supply of the army.

The matter of fighting, or the matter of who to wage war against, is decided by Zhu Zhangui, and he, the emperor, does not mix.

In fact, sometimes Zhu Chupang felt that he, the emperor, was quite aggrieved at that time, afraid of his father and son, and he didn't have what an emperor should be.

"Okay, don't hide your secrets, let's talk about your methods, and finally let's discuss whose methods we should take."

The four people had hundreds of thoughts, and Zhu Chupang didn't bother to nag the three of them, so he directly ordered the three of them to say a way in the tone of the emperor.

The three of them glanced at each other, did not hesitate, and said in unison: "Fight!" ”

Zhu Fatpang looked up at the three of them, he didn't expect that the three of them had different ideas, but the final decision was so unified.

"Why!"

The first to answer was Yu Qian.

"It's very simple, Cochin is like a wild dog that has been crazy in the wild for a long time, although we have brought it home now, but the wild nature is difficult to accept, if you want it to be obedient and obedient to take care of the home, then you have to subdue it first, so that it knows what to do and what not to do. As for whether to give bones after obedience, or directly kill and peel them and eat them, it all depends on their later performance and our mood. ”

After Yu Qian finished speaking, Mu Cheng also nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, I have been in contact with the people over there more than once, and many people don't have the concept that they are Ming people in their minds at all. Even over there, there are many people who regard our Ming as invaders and enemies, just like we did when we faced Meng Yuan. ”

"Among its officials and nobles, this concept is the heaviest, most of them are attached to us on the surface, but in fact, they have been supporting those rebels behind their backs, otherwise with the strength of the local garrison, thousands of thieves would have been wiped out long ago, and it is impossible for them to be rampant for so long."

"It is precisely for this reason that the minister's suggestion is to sort out all the upper echelons, deal with all those who are disobedient or have different intentions, and leave those whose hearts are wavering towards Daming, and then slowly adjust."

"When the war is over, we can also take pictures of some people from Yungui in the past, and use the thoughts of our people to slowly influence them, so that they can unite closely with us again."

After Mu Cheng finished speaking, Zhu Chubby looked at Yang Rong.

"The meaning expressed by Mu Guogong and Yu Shangshu is exactly the same as the minister's thoughts, and there is nothing to add to this minister, I can only tell the emperor that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and if you want to completely stabilize the world, the best way is to turn these foreign races into our own people."

"With the idea that the people of the Ming Dynasty and the world are unified, no matter what happens in the future, as long as these people become our own, we don't have to worry about this land breaking away from us."

The three of them agreed to fight, and the tangle in Zhu Fatpang's heart was completely erased.

"Peng!"

As soon as the fat hand slapped the table, Zhu Fatpang stood up and said loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, let's fight." ”
