After Zhu Yunxi finished chatting with the two popes of the East and the West, Byzantium and Ottoman rivals, there were masters of power and scheming such as Zhang Zongjun who led a group of Ming civil officials to negotiate the details with them.

It's just that the results of the negotiation are not ideal, they are humble and respectful when facing Zhu Yunxi, but when they face Zhang Zongjun, they open their mouths widely, and they can't wait to bite anything.

Zhang Zongjun pulled the skin with them for several days, and finally reluctantly came to report to Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Majesty, I don't think these people have the sincerity to negotiate peace, and now they can't meet their demands at all!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"Yes!"

"In fact, they are waiting, waiting for how we will beat Timur and at what speed."

"If we fight fast enough, fast enough to exceed their imagination, they won't dare to make conditions to us!"

Zhang Zongjun also understood this truth, he came to Zhu Yunxi to complain, just to ask vaguely when Daming would send troops.

"When does Your Majesty plan to send troops?"

"Look at it, if the country has been so quiet, then we will send troops next month!"

In fact, Zhu Yunxi has been waiting for the rebellion from the country, after all, there are so many vassal kings in the country, it is impossible for none of them to have inflated ambitions.

At the same time, Li Fangyuan on the Korean side is gearing up to unify the peninsula, and the opposition of the people on the Japanese side is constantly fermenting, and it is also a powder keg that will explode sooner or later.

Therefore, he wanted to wait for the rebellion on the Ming side to break out and see the extent of the rebellion before deciding when to send troops.

Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult for both sides to start a war at the same time.

"Your Majesty, there is His Majesty the old emperor in the country, and there will definitely be no chaos. Even if it is chaotic, His Majesty the old emperor will quickly cut through the chaos and not give His Majesty a chance to make a move. ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled when he heard this.

"Indeed!"

"Now Grandpa Huang is training the thirteenth uncle for me, if I can really train the thirteenth uncle, I will also have one more helper in the future!"

"His Royal Highness the Acting King treats people sincerely, is simple, and is very good in nature, so I am afraid that someone will instigate him."

"However, His Majesty the old emperor is watching, and he can't get close to him when he is young, and he will definitely be able to become a minister who assists His Majesty."

"By the way, Your Majesty, when do you plan to receive His Majesty Timur?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled playfully when he heard this.

"What, Timur can't wait?"

Zhang Zongjun also smiled.

"Sort of!"

"Today, the close ministers around Timur also sent a box of gold to Wechen, and I want Wechen to persuade His Majesty to meet Timur as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"Forget it this time, don't take it as an example!"

"Go and tell Timur that tomorrow I will meet him in the Kangju Palace."

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly thanked him when he heard this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Zongjun, who was leaving happily, and a trace of helplessness rose in his heart again.

This guy is good at everything, but he's a little greedy for money.

And he is also very smart, and every time he is greedy in the open, so that people can't do anything about him.

Fortunately, he is young, and he can survive this old and cunning guy, otherwise such a person really can't be left to the next prince......

Zhu Yunxi was suddenly shocked when he thought of this, and he didn't know when he started, his thinking became more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not only do they think about everything far away, but they even think about who can stay and who can't.

Could this be the heart of the emperor?

Now is the time to employ people, and it is not yet time to deal with Zhang Zongjun, but you can arrange an opponent for him first......

Qi Tai?

Qi Tai can't do it, Qi Tai is too square and not tactful enough, so he shouldn't be the right person to check and balance Zhang Zongjun.

Yang Shiqi...... Yang Shiqi is okay, but he is too young at this stage, and he is not Zhang Zongjun's opponent in terms of qualifications or prestige.

However, it can be cultivated first, and let him follow Zhang Zongjun to experience and experience.

Zhu Yunxi thought of this, and immediately ordered someone to call Yang Shiqi over and asked him to follow Zhang Zongjun to study in the military machine.

At present, there is only Zhang Zongjun in the Military Aircraft Department, plus a few secretaries, and there is no personnel structure at all.

Zhu Yunxi came to Kangju City this time, and he also planned to throw Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng to the military plane, so that they could press on Zhang Zongjun and play a role in containing and balancing each other.

Chang Sheng can be used as the next auxiliary minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and at present, let him hang a post in the Military Aircraft Department to experience and experience.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi did this was not only to imitate a certain Qing dynasty in later generations, but also to refer to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty.

That is the national policy of the border generals to enter the court.

The reason why the Anshi Rebellion broke out was actually related to the fact that Li Linfu broke the way for the border generals to enter the court.

If the side general has no upward channel, he will naturally have other thoughts, such as self-reliance or rebellion.

But if all of them are copied from the Tang Dynasty, there is still a huge problem for the border generals to enter the court, that is, the border generals may not have the experience of governing the government.

Therefore, it is obviously a better way to directly open up a department that is only in charge of the military and let them go in to make use of their spare energy.

In this way, the state pastor can be promoted to the cabinet, and the border general can be promoted to the military aircraft department.

The two sides have equal powers, with the Military Aircraft Department as the main force in wartime and the Cabinet as the main body in peacetime, and the two sides complement each other, supervise each other, cooperate with each other, and contain each other.

Zhu Yunxi feasted Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng that night, and blew the wind on them.

"Uncle, I plan to establish a military aircraft department similar to the cabinet to deal with military matters, what do you think?"

"Cabinet ......"

Lan Yu's eyes rolled around when she heard this.

He is not the stunned young man in the early years who only knew how to fight and pretend to be forced to raise the bar with others.

In the few years that he was suppressed by Lao Zhu Xuezang, he pondered a lot of people and things, and he also had a certain understanding of the political arena of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the cabinet was established during the old Zhu period, it was Zhu Yunxi who really carried it forward.

This grandson is very daring to employ people, and the power to give the cabinet is very large, and now the people in the capital privately call the cabinet people Zaifu and Xiangxiang.

If the Military Aircraft Department follows the example of the Cabinet, it will be to deal exclusively with military-related ministers and prime ministers?

That's awesome!

Fu Youde's eyes also lit up, and even his breathing was a little rougher.

He usually likes to dance and write, and he claims to be a scholar among a bunch of generals.

Therefore, he has always been dissatisfied with his status as a military general, and always dreamed of becoming an all-round talent who can fight on horses and herdsmen when he gets off horses.

But Lao Zhu and the court didn't give him a chance to perform!

Now that Zhu Yunxi has set up a military aircraft department, isn't it just right for him to play?

Only Feng Sheng opened a pair of innocent big eyes, looking at Lan Yu for a while, and Fu Youde for a while, he didn't understand what the Military Aircraft Department was doing!

Lan Yu thought for a while before speaking, and as soon as she spoke, she was very formal.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what are the specific responsibilities of the Military Aircraft Department?"

"You must know that the military involves a wide range of aspects, such as conscription, recruitment, military reclamation, military merit rewards, military deployment, and so on."

"Many of them need the cooperation of the six ministries of the imperial court, and even the cooperation of the cabinet, otherwise many things will not be able to be done at all."

"Once there is a conflict between the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet, will the Cabinet be the main or the Military Aircraft Department?"

Fu Youde heard that Lan Yu could ask such a high-level question, and his surprised eyes were about to fall to the ground.

Only Feng Sheng is still ignorant, and he is purely a make-up.

Zhu Yunxi was also very happy that Lan Yu could ask this, and got up excitedly and poured a glass of wine for Lan Yu.

"General Lan, you can ask this to prove that I am not wrong!"

"You do have the ability to be the first assistant of the military aircraft department!"

Zhu Yunxi's sentence made Lan Yu very useful, and he drank the wine poured by Zhu Yunxi, and the whole person was a little fluttering.

"That's it!"

"We haven't lived in vain all these years, we can't grow at all, hahaha!"

As soon as Fu Youde saw Lan Yu's virtue, he knew that this thing was floating, and the admiration in his heart was gone.

He can see that even if Zhu Yunxi makes this product the first assistant of the military aircraft, he only likes this person's kinship and great achievements, and plans to use him to occupy the pit.

It's like the old Zhu Liguo didn't let Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen go, so he had to let Xu Da, the old man, be the prime minister of Zuo.

The purpose is not to let Xu Da help him govern the country, but just to let Xu Da occupy this pit, and leave the specific things to the right minister and others to do.

"Niece and grandson, don't put a top hat on us, hurry up and say who is the main one?"

Zhu Yunxi returned to his seat, straightened his clothes, and replied firmly.

"Of course, it's me!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, the three of them were stunned, and then burst into huge applause.

Lan Yu slapped the table even more excitedly, shouting while patting.

"Happy!"

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more like an emperor now!"

"The old minister punished himself for the offense just now, the old minister shouldn't have asked such a stupid question!"

"What cabinet, what military aircraft department, don't they all have to obey Your Majesty's orders?"

"The old minister even stupidly asked who was the main one, hahaha!"

Fu Youde also came out and slapped his ass.

"Your Majesty has really grown up and has the spirit of an emperor."

"The old minister congratulates His Majesty and congratulates the Daming Jiangshan Society!"

This time Feng Sheng understood, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and repeated.

"I'm the same!"

Lan Yu happily poured a few glasses of wine and then repeated the old words.

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while.

"It should be soon, tomorrow I will meet with Timur, talk to Timur about how to fight in the future, and I will return to Beijing when the time is determined to start."

"However, Kangju City will also be a capital in the future."

"I plan to establish Kangju City as Xijing, and send a prince or crown prince to guard it in the future."

When Lan Yu heard this, he once again gave Zhu Yunxi a compliment.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, the old minister congratulates Your Majesty, and congratulates the Ming Dynasty!"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he hurriedly followed again, "I am the same", and then tilted his neck and drank a large glass of wine.

Fu Youde followed the two and chased after the toast.

"Your Majesty, if you send the prince to sit in the town, will you repeat the old things of Fusu?"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment when he heard this.

Ying Guogong's worries are not unreasonable, but the pattern of the future world is different from before. After the railway is built, Daming and the west will be connected, and the distance will not be too big a problem at that time. ”

"And Xijing is only temporary, and in the future, three capitals may be set up, namely the Eastern Capital, the Central Capital, and the Western Capital, to rule the huge territory."

When Fu Youde saw Zhu Yunxi say this, he once again had the ability to congratulate.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the old minister is worry-free!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, when you negotiate with Timur tomorrow, you'd better bring a few of us with you."

"We have been communicating with Timur a lot in recent years, and we should be able to make Timur feel more at ease."

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"Accurate!"

The next day, Kangju Palace.

Zhu Yunxi set up a very high-level banquet to entertain Timur, not only Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, but also the Eastern and Western popes, the Ottomans, and the Byzantine rivals.

There are also some former ministers of Kangju City, officials who originally belonged to the Timurid lineage headed by Mishalan.

It's just that as soon as these people entered the banquet hall, they drooped their heads, and they didn't dare to look at the old master at all.

Misaran even pretended to be sick and did not dare to come to see his father.

This made Timur very dissatisfied, and said on the spot that he would invite Misaran over.

"Why didn't Misaran come?"

Zhu Yunxi explained with a smile.

"Maybe I'm afraid to see you?"

Timur snorted coldly when he heard this.

"What is there to be afraid of!"

"No matter who he is working for now, there is one thing that cannot be denied, and that is that he will always be my most beloved son!"

"Someone, go and call Misharan to me, and say that I don't blame him for surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and I am still willing to recognize him as a son!"

Zhu Yunxi watched Timur's performance with a faint smile on his face.

This old guy can indeed lay down such a big country and mountains with two brushes, even if he is beaten by Daming and is about to sign the alliance under the city, he still does not fall behind in momentum.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi would not be naïve to think that Timur just wanted to catch up with Misharan, this old thing has to have 10,000 hearts and eyes to yawn, and he may be holding back some good fart.

But he did not stop him, and ordered someone to call Misharan.

After a short time, Misaran walked into the hall wearing a plain Ming regular clothes.

His outfit immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Zhu Yunxi and Timur.

It stands to reason that he should wear a Ming official uniform, or a costume with Middle Eastern characteristics.

But he didn't choose either, but chose a set of Ming regular clothes, which is a bit intriguing.

In fact, this is the result of Misharan's careful consideration, the reason why he wears it like this is to show that he has been cut off from the Timurid Empire, but he does not really want to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a transcendent meaning inside.

"Unfilial son Misharan to meet his father!"

As soon as Misharan opened his mouth, he once again emphasized his identity, and only admitted that he was visiting his father and not his father, indicating that he was no longer a member of the Timurid royal family, but the position of an ordinary person.

What a shrewd man Timur was, seeing Misharan wearing such clothes and saying such things, he already understood in his heart what his son meant.

Timur stood up on the table, trembling down the steps, and personally helped Misharan to his feet.

"Good son!"

"When Father sees that you are in good health, Father has nothing else to ask for!"

As soon as Misharan heard this, tears suddenly flowed down, even as Timur's opponent, Lan Yu, Fu Youde and others couldn't help but have red eyes.

No matter how opposing their identities are on the battlefield, but at this moment, Timur is just an old father who misses his son and loves his son!
