Chapter 217: Breaking the king's affairs in the world, winning the name before and after his death
If the cause of the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in history is investigated, it is indeed very suspicious. Even, the fall and death of Emperor Zhengde, who are relatively similar, can also be classified as conspiracy theories.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, perhaps due to the limitations of medical skills at that time, lung infections after choking on water were not as easy to treat as in later generations. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for a small cold to kill a person.
What's more, the hospital is not so reliable, and it is better to treat the emperor in vain than to take risks. It is said that major illnesses cannot be cured, and minor illnesses cannot be cured.
Or perhaps a certain interest group, mainly the civilian clique, was dissatisfied because of the crackdown, and took the opportunity to secretly kill them.
But at the end of the day, trying to murder an emperor is not as simple and easy as some people think.
If you want to say simple and easy, there is no more poison than poisoning. What meals, what drinks, or the emperor's medicinal soup for headaches and colds.
But the meals in the palace are all controlled by the eunuchs, and the eunuchs rely on the emperor to survive, and basically will not be bought and used by civil officials.
As for the medicinal soup, it is also unlikely. The hospital is mostly hereditary, not to mention loyal, at least to take care of the life of the family. Moreover, there are strict supervision and processes for prescribing and grabbing medicines, and it is not easy to do it.
As for what assassins, they may only appear in and movies.
The emperor's security can refer to the strict level of the head of state in later generations. Unless the exact whereabouts of the Emperor are known, there may be a slight chance that he will be hit with one blow when he comes out.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao thinks that if the civilian clique wants to secretly poison him, he can only take the opportunity, that is, find an opportunity.
What kind of opportunities? History says so.
After the little carpenter fell into the water and fell ill, it was not fatal, at least it could survive for some time. At this time, someone offered a fairy dew drink, which was sweet and delicious, and finally made the little carpenter become an immortal.
Familiar? The little carpenter's father was a kid who took the elixir and kicked his legs, and he didn't learn his lesson.
What kind of person is Zhu Youxiao, knowledgeable, educated, idealistic, and moral, what kind of elixir and elixir, can you fool him?
Despite such a profound understanding, Zhu Youxiao did not take it lightly. Cleaning up the palace, strengthening security, improving the role of the eyes and ears of the factory guards, and reducing the number of private visits to micro-services, can be described as timid as a mouse, quite afraid of death.
If your ambition is not rewarded, how can you say that you will die lightly? I really want to live another 500 years.
It is precisely because Zhu Youxiao spares his life that he will not do any stupid things such as "driving and pro-conquest", and there is no need to put gold on his face, or make a name in history. Therefore, he has to explain more carefully and thoroughly.
This includes not only Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, who will go to Beijing to report on their duties after the autumn, but also these generals who will go to war, as well as the reserve officers who will replace them.
"Cao Qing bravely crowned the three armies, but as a senior general, he should know where his responsibilities lie, and he must not take risks......"
Zhu Youxiao presented a batch of the latest special telescopes to the generals one by one, and gently exhorted them, and the expectations were deep and moving.
Cao Wenzhao knelt on one knee, received the emperor's reward with both hands, and said in a sigh: "Long live the advice, Weichen will remember it in his heart, and he will live up to the expectations of Long Live." ”
The emperor smiled and stretched out his hand to help Cao Wenzhao, and called Zhou Yuji, personally awarded the reward, and said: "Zhou Qingzhong fought bravely, and I am very relieved." ”
Zhu Youxiao admires Zhou Yuji's loyalty and death festival the most, history has changed, and he hopes that Zhou Yuji can make meritorious contributions to the knighthood. There is also the wife of Zhou Yuji, who fought to the death in the history books, and the seal of the decree is waiting for Zhou Yuji to return from the battle!
Although the words are short, they reveal the emperor's appreciation. A rest assured, it is a high evaluation of Zhou Yuji.
Zhou Yuji also knelt down to thank him for receiving the reward, and said angrily: "Wechen has long live the appreciation, and he is scheduled to make meritorious contributions to Liaodong to destroy slaves, so that Long Live will no longer have to worry about war." ”
"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao helped Zhou Yuji up, looked up at the generals, and said loudly: "But the king has the world's affairs, and won the name before and after his death." I have this expectation for the secretaries, and I will not hesitate to be promoted to the title of marquis, and the secretaries will be able to live up to my expectations and return with meritorious deeds. ”
After a pause, Zhu Youxiao then made a promise, "When the army goes to Liaodong, for the sake of military secrets, I will not go to see off the secretaries. On the day of the triumphant return of the Zhongqing, I will go out of the city to greet the Zhongqing and salute the Zhongqing with a glass of celebratory wine. ”
"Weichen Xie Long Live Longen, he will live up to the expectations of Long Life, Pingliao will destroy slaves, and worry about things for Long Live." Cao Wenzhao knelt down first and made a promise loudly.
The generals had representatives, and they knelt down one after another, and the rough and heroic voices resounded through the hall.
Feudal society pays attention to retribution, and Jun'en is the biggest and most difficult to repay, and only death is the end. This is what we call loyalty.
And the goal of life is nothing more than to get promoted and get rich, which is the case for most people. Pure and pure, except for those who want to work for the well-being of all mankind.
The emperor is not only a gentleman, but also a decisive figure in achieving his life goals, and he is not mediocre. Then how can you worry that you don't have your own loyal courtiers, and there are no civil and military generals who are willing to die to repay you?
Moreover, in ancient times, the emperor was similar in meaning to the state and society. Repaying the king with death, repaying the country with death, and repaying the society with death are all similar meanings.
In this hall, they are all loyal and brave generals carefully selected by Zhu Youxiao.
Even if there was no summons, no reward given by his own hands, and no earnest exhortation, the generals in the palace would not let Zhu Youxiao down.
But wouldn't it be better to have it? Zhu Youxiao felt that the words of encouragement came out of his mouth, and it would have the effect of doubling and doubling.
To be honest, Zhu Youxiao wanted to end the war in Liaodong next year.
Next year is the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a flood broke out in Beijing, and there were droughts and locust plagues in Jiangbei and Shandong. In autumn, there was another big flood in Jiangbei, and there was a locust plague in Henan.
Disasters are frequent, and there are already clear signs of climbing towards the peak.
If there is a one-year buffer time after the success of Pingliao, Zhu Youxiao will be able to arrange it more calmly. If the war continues, then the war in Liaodong, together with the materials for disaster relief, will once again put the already improved finances into embarrassment.
And the success of Pingliao depends on Zhu Youxiao's investment regardless of the cost, on his prescient arrangement, and even more on loyal and brave generals and thousands of ordinary soldiers.
Bloodshed and sacrificed to defend the family and the country, and more importantly, to keep Zhu Youxiao's dragon chair, no matter how high the soldiers are, it is not too much.
Moreover, improving the status of military personnel is not an expedient move by Zhu Youxiao.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory, confronted polar bears in the north, seized warm and rich land in the south, and competed with Western countries at sea, all of which relied on the heroic struggle of soldiers.
Therefore, the generals all felt that the war in Liaodong might be the most rare opportunity to be promoted to marquis and make meritorious contributions, but few people knew the emperor's ambitions, and they didn't know that they would have countless opportunities to show their strength in the future.
