Chapter 72: It's not too much to help me make up a Yongle canon
"Your Majesty, this dish is novel and delicious!" Xie Jin took a bite of mutton shabu and praised it beautifully.
Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile and said, "If you like to eat, eat more!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty....."
Xie Jin catered to Zhu Yunwen while putting vegetables in the pot.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at him, then picked up a glass of rice wine, took a sip, and said casually: "Xie Qing is only eight buckets high, I don't know how to do anything in the current situation?" β
"Huh?"
Xie Jin put down his chopsticks, thought about it, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, you should first stabilize the court, gather the hearts of hundreds of officials, and then implement the strategy of cutting the domain, collect the military power, and use it for Your Majesty!" β
"Be specific!"
"Back to Your Majesty, Emperor Gao is harsh, and the officials are terrified, even if His Majesty implements benevolent governance, the officials are still panicked. However, if Your Majesty tolerates some of the ministers who have been convicted for their words and purgies the maladministration, he will win the hearts of the people. β
"The hearts of the people are obedient, and the court can naturally be as stable as Mount Tai."
Zhu Yunwen bowed slightly, and then asked: "What do you think of the strategy of cutting the domain?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, Taizu appointed the Nine Great Sai Kings, although he has heavy troops, he is not a self-respecting generation, and only relies on the ancestral system. If you want to break the game, it is not difficult! β
"Huh."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the confident Xie Jin with a smile, and couldn't help but joke: "Xie Qing has not lived in the court for a long time, and this ability to strategize is no less than Zhang Zifang!" β
"Uh...."
The corners of Xie Jin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said bluntly: "In fact, before the minister came to Beijing, he heard about the King of Liao and the King of Min, and the change of domain, and felt that this move was stable and appropriate, and it was really the best policy!" β
"Well, move on."
"In fact, when the king of Sai is outside, the soldiers under his command are all soldiers of the imperial court, although the king of Sai has the right to govern moderation, it is just to resist the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and defend the border fortress."
"If Your Majesty takes the initiative to conquer the Northern Yuan and completely solve the remnants of the Northern Yuan, even if the Sai kings want to take charge of the military, I am afraid they will not be able to!"
"When the time comes, move them out of the fiefdom and completely cut off their threat.....
At this point, Xie Jin saw that Zhu Yunwen was deep in thought, so he picked up the chopsticks again, took another piece of pork belly, and put it in his mouth.
Regardless of whether Zhu Yunwen accepts his strategy or not, this delicious meal is really rare.
However, just as he was about to put down the chopsticks again, Zhu Yunwen came back to his senses and asked him: "Then with Xie Qing's words, how can we solve the remnants of the Northern Yuan?" β
"Huh?"
When Xie Jin heard Zhu Yunwen's words, he was so frightened that he almost knocked off the chopsticks in his hand.
Are you kidding!
Emperor Gao didn't solve the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty when he was there, how could he have a way to solve it?
Your Majesty thinks too highly of yourself?!
However, since Your Majesty asked, if you don't answer, won't your Majesty feel useless?
Is he going to be abandoned and return to his hometown again?
Thinking of the dark time of those seven years, Xie Jin couldn't help but shake his head, and then solemnly said to Zhu Yunwen: "Back to Your Majesty, there were soldiers who surrendered without a fight in ancient times, and in the opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty should practice benevolence in the first place, and force in the back!" β
Zhu Yunwen smiled and praised Xie Jin's opinion, and then raised his hand as if encouraging: "Be more specific!" β
Still specific?
Isn't it, Your Majesty!
I really won't!
Xie Jin almost cried when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words, and said in his heart that this hot pot is not very fragrant!
However, Zhu Yunwen asked him to be more specific, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only stubbornly say: "What the minister means is that the grassland barbarians, although they temporarily live in the Central Plains, they don't understand the culture of the Central Plains, Your Majesty implements benevolent government, you can educate them first, and if they are stubborn, then send troops to crusade against them!" β
"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and then he said with some doubts: "But the Central Plains culture is broad and profound, how should I screen it?" β
"This...."
Xie Jin was speechless.
He really couldn't answer.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't continue to ask him, but just said to him: "Xie Qing, in fact, I have a glorious and great task entrusted to you!" β
"A glorious and great mission?"
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Yunwen with some puzzlement.
But I heard Zhu Yunwen continue: "Just like you said, the grassland barbarians don't understand my Central Plains culture, and all countries don't understand my Central Plains culture, because my Central Plains culture covers a wide range. β
"So." As he spoke, he changed his words: "I want Xie Qing to compile a grand ceremony for the Ming Dynasty!" β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Xie Jin's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhu Yunwen with an incredulous face.
Zhu Yunwen's expression gradually became serious: "I want to make this canon the most complete, perfect, and excellent canon in ancient and modern times, and let people in a thousand years know the glory and glory of this era!" β
"Your Majesty...."
Xie Jin was speechless by Zhu Yunwen's words.
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly, and said in his heart, can't history be changed? Then I want to give it a try, take Zhu Di's path, and let Zhu Di have no way out!
What you Zhu Di can do, I Zhu Yunwen can also do.
You have made Xie Jin a great book that has been glorified and passed down through the ages, and I Zhu Yunwen can do the same.
Now Xie Jin is on my side, and the advantage is on me, what are you going to fight with me?
"How about it, Xie Qing is willing to take over my mission?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin with hopeful eyes.
Xie Jin opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
In fact, he just wants to be an official and serve the country, and he doesn't want to immerse himself in the sea of books at all.
In those days in his hometown, he has been thinking about a question, that is, why did he fail?
Is it not enough to learn? Or is it not capable? Or is the measure too small?
No, none of these are any.
Finally, one day, he figured it out, and he began to realize that the reason for his failure was that he was too naΓ―ve.
It's naΓ―ve.
I don't understand what officialdom is at all.
Faith is useless in the court.
If you want to succeed, you can only cater to the emperor, and if you don't take every opportunity, you will never want to be promoted, gain more power, and improve your status.
"Whew...."
Xie Jin took a deep breath.
At this moment, he found what he thought was the right path, so he bowed to Zhu Yunwen; "Yes."
"Good! Good! Good! β
Zhu Yunwen said three 'good' words in a row, and then waved his hand: "Come on, add vegetables!" β
Zhu Di asked Xie Jin to compile the "Yongle Canon", and before he died, he asked Ji Gang to invite him to a prison meal.
It's not too much to invite Xie Jin to eat a hot pot now, and let him make up a "Yongle Canon" for himself, right?
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth were almost grinning to the back of his head.
In fact, he didn't really have to compile the "Yongle Canon", he just wanted to see if this history could be changed.
If history can be changed, then the next operation must be aimed at Zhu Di and never suffer in the future.
As for the strategy that Xie Jin said, it's not impossible, when the strength of the Beijing camp increases greatly, it is not like playing to fight a grassland people.
What's more, the grassland should not be too peaceful for long.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, which was fleeting.
However, just as he was about to accompany Xie Jin to continue eating hot pot, Wang Zhong hurriedly ran from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the cabinet and the military aircraft are fighting in the Wuying Palace!" β
