The war in the northwest was indeed progressing rapidly, and Turpan was easier to fight than the Tatars.

Zhu Houzhao was still asleep at the time, and he was woken up by someone.

You Di didn't dare to come in, and in the evening he knew that the Son of Heaven had summoned two Korean women brought back from Jiangnan to sleep.

If it wasn't something important, he didn't want to disturb the emperor at this time, in case he was interrupted by him when he was doing something, wouldn't it be embarrassing and fatal?

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was tired after tossing for a long time, so he fell asleep.

He didn't feel it when You Ji screamed a few times in a row, and listened to several consecutive sounds in a hazy way,

At a certain moment, he suddenly woke up: it must be something important to wake up in the middle of the night!

"What's wrong?! What's wrong? The Emperor sat up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, rest easy." You Ji knelt on the ground and said, "It's the good news from the northwest that has arrived in Beijing." The slave knows that the matter is important, and she does not dare to delay and disturb His Majesty......"

"Stop talking nonsense. Where's the good news?! ”

Zhu Houzhao walked out from behind the curtain, barefoot on the ground, his hair was scattered, and he was only dressed in white.

And You Zhi immediately lifted it.

“…… Zhou Shangwen, the general of the Western Expedition, reported: Since April, the ministers have obeyed the will of His Majesty, sent troops to fight against thieves, swept the frontier, and relied on His Majesty's divine might, until July of the tenth year ......of Zhengde, the army has broken the Tulufan Khanate, the old country of the Han and Tang Dynasties has been restored, and many princes and ministers have been captured."

Zhu Houzhao quickly read the report under the candle, and he was still a little sleepy, but the more he looked at it, the more energetic he became, "Okay!" Good! Good! ”

The emperor said three times in a loud voice.

It was a joy that he had been waiting for so much that he even walked up and down the dormitory, not knowing what to do.

"Lubu rushed to Chiyu Pass, and Jieshu arrived at Ganquan Palace at night. I want to reward these soldiers who have gone out for the country! Particularly addressed. ”

"The slave is here."

"As soon as the morning dawns, you will go to the cabinet and the Ministry of War to verify this good news, and after approval, you will come back to report to me, I will open the morning court again, and celebrate my Ming soldiers!!"

"Yes, slave and maid!"

There was no carnival after the enthusiasm, and only the Son of Heaven was stirring in the warm pavilion.

Years of hard work, but finally rewarded.

The expansion of territory is an exciting thing for the whole country, how can he not be happy?

When encountering such a great victory, it is necessary to pay tribute to the ancestors.

In the past, Zhu Houzhao would have felt that such a sacrificial activity was really meaningless, but in his position, it was different, these words in his heart, if he didn't say it to Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, who else could really understand?

"Your Majesty," came a long, soft whisper from the tent, "it's cold outside. Your Majesty, don't catch a cold. ”

Zhu Houzhao's pride suddenly rose in his heart, he returned to the bed and picked up the beauty's chin with his index finger, "What's your name?" ”

"The concubine's name is Li Shan'er."

"Your accent is exactly like that of a Han Chinese. Why? ”

“…… The concubine didn't understand, she had been taught like this since she was a child. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought that maybe he had started preparing it a long time ago, just to give it to him.

"What about you?" He turned to the other one.

"The concubine's name is Jin Yu."

The two women wore half silk scarves, revealing a white landscape.

Zhu Houzhao gradually lay down and pillowed in the gentle township.

He has to have a good understanding and reminiscence, this moment may be the so-called awakening to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, even if he has always been as calm as water, he can't help but be beautiful at this time.

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls up and the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost ......"

"Is Your Majesty reading the words?"

"Not only can you read it, but you can also sing it." Zhu Houzhao pulled a white lotus root arm and bent it on the tip of his nose to sniff lightly.

……

……

When the east is white, snowflakes still fly into the palace.

Without exception, they are all congratulatory watches.

Zhu Houzhao flipped through a few articles, of course it was very beautiful at first, but gradually got used to it, and I didn't want to turn it anymore, and I was always happy.

Soon the cabinet entered the palace.

Zhu Houzhao first summoned Wang Wei.

He is not the head of the cabinet, but he is in the first place, and the reason for this is known only to him.

After Wang Wei came in, it was immediately a big gift, "Congratulations to the emperor!" The old minister has heard that Jinglu Bo inherited the fate of the heavens, decided by a war, and now the territory is all returned, not only to restore the prosperity of Hongwu Yongle, but also the territory laid by His Majesty is better than the distant ancestors, this is an immortal achievement! ”

Zhu Houzhao's clenched fist slowly loosened, and he probed slightly, "Sir, do you still remember the oath you made with me back then?" ”

Wang Wei suddenly felt moved in his heart, "The old minister has never forgotten a word!" Today is the time to fulfill the vow! ”

"Sir did it, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao stood up, "It's better than the words of the distant ancestor, it's too arrogant to talk about, and it's not very appropriate." I have told the Ministry of Rites to pay tribute to the ancestors in the Taimiao, and this time the Ming Dynasty opened up the territory, which is a grand event! Therefore, the matter of worshipping ancestors should not be rash, but must be done carefully! ”

"It should be, it should be." Wang Wei has always been steady, but at this moment, he can't help but have some emotional ups and downs.

"I, the emperor, don't dare to say that I haven't made mistakes, I don't dare to say that I haven't killed anyone, but governing the country has always been diligent and diligent, in the past ten years, I first defeated the Tatars, and then took over the homeland.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, not hiding his pride in the slightest.

This is his style, he dares to kill people and admit his mistakes, he will be proud and embarrassed because he says it wrong. All of these things together are for righteousness.

Wang Wei said: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, all dynasties have been the founding monarchs of the country, and the only one who can have a king like His Majesty after ten generations is the Great Ming." Although Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty were more or less prosperous, His Majesty's merits were far superior to theirs. ”

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is Liu Ai, this is also a generation of Ming Jun, Tang Xianzong is known as Little Tang Taizong, and he has indeed done something. However, compared with the current decline of Zhu Houzhao's entire reversal dynasty, they are indeed inferior.

"When the gentleman says these words, I believe them. A few days ago, Mao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said that I did not spare the people's strength, and Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that I showed off my strength, but I was not confused to that extent, and I did not hide that Mr. said that if all the countries around the Ming Dynasty were friendly to each other, I would not want to fight. But the reality is not, you look at the Manraka country, isn't it bullied by the Francos, if the Ming is weak, he will also be bullied by them. I now understand the First Emperor more and more, you see that without him, will the Xiongnu in the north be in trouble at the beginning of the Han Dynasty?

But it doesn't matter, I have always been a character who does not regret what I do, I will not be satisfied like Tang Xuanzong, I am still young, less than thirty, and there will be more time in the future, to establish greater achievements! So let them go, with these merits, even if the children and grandchildren of future generations are not ashamed of me, they should leave three points of respect! ”

Wang Wei was shocked in his heart, Zhengde is Zhengde, and it is very powerful.

"Alright, tell them all in."

The other three members of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing, Wang Bing, and Yang Tinghe, all came to salute, and they naturally couldn't avoid congratulatory words.

Zhu Houzhao stood in front of them, "I have already said that the territory recovered this time will be listed as the fourteenth province of the Ming Dynasty, and the fourteenth political envoy will be established. But that's the goal, not the reality. Xinjiang was initially decided, and it was estimated that many tribes were still waiting and watching, so they imitated the Hetao as a military administration in the near future, set up a governor, and controlled three divisions. These candidates, you can discuss them, it is best to come out today, and it is not very interesting to drag it out. Ah, let me say it in advance, Wang Shouren don't take it into account. He, I have another appointment.

What are the specific requirements, do things more capably, decisively, that place is inhabited by all ethnic groups, the initial situation will inevitably be chaotic, if there is no thunderous means, I am afraid that those people will not be able to be suppressed, and at the same time, there must be some overall situation, this is the task of sealing the territory. Of course, there is no need to say much about loyalty and virtue. ”
