Chapter 5 The Great Nine Qings

Xu Jingchang swore to the sky that he absolutely had good intentions, and wanted his aunt to intercede, not to fight too hard, but looking at Queen Xu's momentum, it is estimated that she is going to mix doubles.

"Xu Yi, my aunt's temper is good, right?" Xu Jingchang muttered.

Old Xu Yi nodded, "It's good, I was carrying a kitchen knife and chasing Hou Ye all over the world." Just because the Hou Ye damaged her palace flowers, later Empress Xiaoci Gao heard about it and specially gave a box over. ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned, it turned out that Queen Xu had done such a violent thing. Fortunately, Zhu Di is also a ruthless person, otherwise if he finds someone to marry, he won't be able to withstand his aunt's terrifying combat power!

"In this way, you can only resign yourself to fate, anyway, the tiger poison does not eat children, just don't kill it." Xu Jingchang has reduced the requirements to a minimum.

"Xu Yi, after this incident, King Han won't have any thoughts about the position of the prince, right?"

Xu Yi thought for a while: "Don't say anything else, at least in three or five years, King Han should be honest." ”

Xu Jingchang breathed a sigh of relief again, "As long as King Han doesn't add to the chaos and the Xu family is safe and sound, I have nothing to worry about." By the way, my aunt also said that she was going to get me an errand, what do you think it could be? ”

Xu Yi smiled, "Childe, our family is a noble, you are young now, and you have never led a soldier, let you lead the army to fight, don't think about it." When Guogong was young, Emperor Taizu asked him to go to Henan, Shaanxi and other places to train troops, and by the way, suppress bandits. I estimate that Your Majesty is also a similar arrangement, and he will come back with some merit and inherit the title. If there is any celebration in the future, the son will join in the fun and fill the number of people. Then he may also be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then there will be any major projects, such as this time the three major halls are burned, and the prince may supervise the work and renovate it. ”

Xu Jingchang listened patiently, and he knew it in his heart...... The honors and nobles of the early Ming Dynasty were not ornaments, commanding troops to fight, training troops to suppress bandits, court ceremonies, relief for disaster victims, large-scale projects, repairing rivers and controlling waters, and rectifying coastal defense.

All in all, you can participate in anything, as long as you have excellent ability, do not worry about not having a place to show your talents, the so-called generals into the phase, on the horse to govern the army, off the horse to govern the people, a good general, must be a good construction talent.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun not only recovered Dadu, but also built a defense system in the north and renovated the Grand Canal.

Even Tang He was in Fujian and Zhejiang to rectify coastal defense, and the fortress he built could still play a role more than a hundred years later, when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese invaders.

It can be seen from this that the horror of these famous generals at the beginning of the country.

Of course, the second generation of Xungui is too much worse, as for Xu Jingchang, he is already the third generation, and it is estimated that he is also a mascot. But Zhu Di is also a militant, and when he is not allowed to conquer the desert, he will take Xu Jingchang with him and act as a military counselor.

"It looks like I still have to learn some art of war, and I have the ability to talk about soldiers on paper." Xu Jingchang muttered, then raised his head and said: "Xu Yi, you have fought, born and died, you must have a lot of skills, you teach me, I will learn art now." ”

Xu Yi smiled, "Childe, you want to learn, but the old slave can't ask for it, how dare you be a master, it's just that learning martial arts is very hard, you just couldn't endure hardship before, so you didn't want to learn." ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Really?" It's not like someone was on top of it before, and the sky couldn't fall. Now I can't study it, at least my aunt will get me an errand, and I'll carry it down, don't you say? ”

Xu Yi nodded again and again, overjoyed, and quickly looked for a military book for Xu Jingchang, and prepared horses, bows and arrows, and armor...... and leveled a martial arts arena in the garden.

Childe is not only mentally mature, but also knows that if he works hard, the Xu family finally has hope.

Just when Xu Jingchang was full of ambition and wanted to be a qualified noble, the imperial court issued a decree and executed Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, Fang Xiaoru and other former ministers of Jianwen to exterminate the nine clans.

This is also reasonable, but there is one person who is more special, he is Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who not only exterminated the nine clans, but also cut it into slices of meat with thousands of knives.

A Ministry of Rites Shangshu, whose fame is not too big, how can he surpass Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, what is going on?

There are different opinions in the capital, some people say that Chen Di drugged Zhu Di and wanted to poison Xinjun, and some people say that Chen Di is armed with a sharp blade and wants to assassinate the Son of Heaven and avenge Jianwen......

Xu Jingchang, who heard the news, groaned slightly, he could feel Zhu Di's monstrous anger from Chen Di's fate. It's just that Zhu Di didn't make an order to change the era name.

This is understandable, after all, it is difficult to take back the holy decree, especially the crucial enthronement edict, if it is announced a few days later, it will be withdrawn.

Then you, Zhu Di, the emperor, should also get out of the way and change to a more suitable one?

Originally, it was difficult to seize power and sit on the dragon chair.

If the most critical edict on the throne is repeated, it is bound to be chaotic and lost, the price is too great, and Zhu Di can't afford it.

So he can only settle the account on Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After all, although Zhu Gaoxu was negligent, the initiators were the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

"The situation is chaotic, life and death are fleeting, how do I think it's good to stay in the house, don't practice archery today." Xu Jingchang said with a sigh.

Xu Yi is speechless, the son is self-motivated, but not much.

"Childe, the queen's words have always counted, or in a few days, when the title of childe comes down, it will be time for you to do things, and you can't let the queen down, right?"

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, as if he had returned to the time when he went to work hard, I have become a nobleman, why can't I be happy?

I had no choice but to follow Xu Yi and continue to practice.

For another two days, Xu Jingchang did not wait for the will of the palace, but the news came out that Zhu Di's mastermind, Monk Daoyan, had dealt with the matter at hand and had already entered Beijing.

After the monarch and the ministers met, Zhu Di was greatly moved, and allowed Daoyan to restore the common family name, and also gave the name Guangxiao, that is, from Daoyan monk to Yao Guangxiao.

He also added the title of prince and young master to the monk, and served as the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, who was in charge of the monks in the world.

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he also sighed slightly.

"Young Master Yao has made such a great contribution, and it is also appropriate to be knighted, and when they are done, it will be my turn." Xu Jingchang muttered silently.

But who knows, Yao Guangxiao, who had just taken office, did not go to the Yamen or his Qingshou Temple, but went directly to Xu's house and came to pay a visit.

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, everyone else gave it back, Yao Guangxiao is a monk, but it is difficult to succeed in assisting Zhu Dijing, which is quite legendary in itself, and various legends have pushed Yao Guangxiao to the level of a demon.

Such a character, instead of doing anything else, came directly to himself, Xu Jingchang felt more and more that something was wrong.

I haven't offended him, have I?

Xu Jingchang was puzzled, but he still respectfully took Yao Guangxiao in, and it was rumored that Yao Guangxiao looked like a sick tiger and looked terrifying. But when Xu Jingchang saw it, he found that the old monk was still quite amiable, with a faint smile on his face, if he was a little fatter, he would be able to be Maitreya Buddha.

After they sat down, the next person served tea, Yao Guangxiao took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Young Marquis, I can't hide it, before Your Majesty went south to Yingtian, Lao Wei instructed Your Majesty to protect Fang Xiaoru's life, but now he is dead." ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Young Master, Fang Xiaoru wholeheartedly follows the Son of Jianwen, seeks benevolence, and keeps his life, which is more painful than killing him, and Your Majesty is also an adult."

Yao Guangxiao suddenly laughed, "What a good pair of sharp teeth, killing people is a success!" Young Marquis, you might as well say it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that the Yongle year name was broken, there might still be room for maneuver. The old man wants to protect the person, but you kill him, what do you say the old man should do? ”

Yao Guangxiao raised his triangular eyes and glanced at Xu Jingchang meaningfully.

Just this glance made Xu Jingchang's heart startled, it was bad, this old monk hated himself.

"Young Master Yao, even if I don't say it, Your Majesty will know sooner or later. They can be deceived for a while, but they can't be deceived for a lifetime. And I thought...... With the wisdom and insight of the young master, how could he think that Fang Xiaoru was a pity? He's a rotten Confucian, and if he dies, he's dead, and you're too worried. ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "Don't worry too much, as soon as Fang Xiaoru dies, the seeds of the world's scholars will be extinct, young marquis, you have done evil!" ”

Xu Jingchang frowned, although he was afraid of Yao Guangxiao, but in the face of such irrelevant accusations, he was also angry in his heart.

"Young Master Yao, how many Wenchen did Emperor Taizu kill? Is the seed of a scholar gone? The most important thing in the world is the literati who want to be officials, kill Fang Xiaoru, and thousands of literati who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty. Your words are clearly a lie and intimidation, no wonder Your Majesty does not agree. In any case, this charge cannot be put on my head, and I hope that Young Master Yao will take it back. ”

Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang and suddenly laughed, "Although you are young, you can also use it." To tell the truth, the old man had already told His Majesty before he came, and recommended the young marquis to serve as the general envoy. The will will soon come down. ”

"Envoy?"

Xu Jingchang was greatly surprised, this official position was specially set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in charge of the Quartet and was responsible for promulgating the holy order...... The main duty is to prevent the minister from deceiving the Son of Heaven.

Ranked one of the Great Nine Secretaries, in addition to the six Shangshu, Zuodu Yushi, is the general political envoy, and his status is even above the Dali Temple.

A high-ranking official of this level, not to mention Xu Jingchang, a young boy, even if he is born in the imperial examination, he will have to stay up for ten or twenty years.

The most important thing is that he is a nobleman, and he ran to be a political envoy and an errand for a civil official, which is not in accordance with the rules!

"Young Master Yao, you, what do you mean?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled, "It's not interesting, it's just that no one will deceive the Son of Heaven again." ”
