Chapter 11: The Ambition of the Son of Heaven
Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji took the lead, and the civil officials followed up together, but the military generals couldn't be silent here, Zhu Neng took a step forward and shouted My Emperor Shengming, and in the end, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, also had to bend down and shout.
It's just that the anger in my heart is also surging wildly.
Xu Jingchang, you little cub, our accounts have been written.
Don't look at your strong background, but you're a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy kid, sooner or later I'll find an opportunity to make you unlucky!
Qiu Fu was holding back and wanted to find trouble with Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Di was no longer interested in entangled in this matter, and at this moment, he was in a state of extreme excitement, as if he had found a new purpose in life.
In the past four years, Zhu Di used a corner of Beiping to resist Jianwen's million-strong army, and finally succeeded in appeasement and climbed the dragon chair. During this time, all he thought about was how to survive and how to defeat the enemy.
Victory or death, there is no third way!
Luckily, he finally won and sat on the dragon chair.
But so many courtiers opposed him, especially the Yongle year, which made Zhu Di realize that he was still a long, long way from reigning in the world and returning to the hearts of all people.
The year name has become a thorn in Zhu Di's heart.
Although he did not order a change, he was like a fish in the throat and a thorn in the back. He urgently needs to prove to the world that he, Zhu Di, is the best emperor, and he must make great achievements, surpass his father's exploits, and push the Ming Dynasty to a new realm......
Zhu Di only felt that there was a flame burning in his heart.
Heroic ambition, imperial ambition.
The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more excited he became, and he turned his head suddenly, "Zhu Gaoxu." ”
"The son is here." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
"You stay here, appease the generals and soldiers of Duoyan Sanwei, don't fight, and don't disturb the peace of the people, otherwise you won't be severely punished."
Zhu Gaoxu obediently agreed, "Please rest assured." ”
Zhu Di nodded, and then said to the civil and military ministers: "You all go back to the palace with me to discuss important matters." ”
The ministers followed Zhu Di back to the palace, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also rode on horses, they followed Xu Jingchang's side, the chubby Xia Yuanji squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Xu Tongzheng is really sharp and quick-witted. Your lofty remarks have moved Your Majesty, and you are really a young hero! ”
Jian Yi also smiled: "Indeed, although Qi Guogong is a military general, he wants to calm things down, which is far inferior to Xu Tongzheng's courage, good, really good!" ”
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, and he didn't think much of the important ministers recommended by these two fathers.
Do you when I don't understand? You two didn't come to pat me on the back because of my father's support. obviously saw my ability, and felt that he could pull me to deal with the upstarts and help you support the scene.
But you two better not dream, I won't be a gunman for you!"
"Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu, I won't talk about other things, Your Majesty is ambitious now, saying that he will not lose an inch of land, but in fact, he intends to expand the territory and establish an unprecedented achievement."
The two of them were stunned, yes, this is indeed the truth.
Xu Jingchang smiled again: "The Son of Heaven is ambitious, and hundreds of officials work hard. There will be hardships in the future, especially the two of you, to do great things, you have to use people, and to do big things, you have to spend money. One of you is in charge of the official's hat, and the other is in charge of the money bag. If the person who recommended it is wrong, or if you can't get the money, the wrath of the thunder, I don't think you can afford it. ”
When these two people heard this, they were all stunned, and their faces changed suddenly.
That's the case, and it's them who are unlucky next.
Natsuhara Yoshishi and Jian Yi looked at each other, and they both caught an emotion called ambition in each other's eyes. Both of them are also Zhu Di's super-promotion, so they sat in their current positions.
Zhu Di wants to make a big difference, why don't they want to prove themselves to the world?
Assisting the virtuous monarch and creating a prosperous era is the highest honor of Wenchen, even if he is tired and bitter, he will not hesitate to do so.
Who doesn't want to fight for a name in history!
Like Xu Jingchang, who is bent on fishing, listening to music and watching the stars, he can't understand the state of these two. Now he is just worried that Zhu Di will come up with some moths, and will his work as a political envoy increase?
If you are too tired, just find a way to resign, if not, go to your aunt for help, she doesn't want the only remaining seedling of the Xu family to wither in advance.
After thinking about it, they had already returned to the palace, and after the monarch and ministers saluted, Zhu Di was full of smiles, and his eyes fell on Xu Jingchang.
"Xu Tongzheng, what you just said, can you talk about it more carefully, so that the big guy can listen more clearly."
Xu Jingchang had no choice but to stand up, "Back to Your Majesty's words, what does the minister mean is how to evaluate the prosperity and weakness of a country, is it simply peaceful?" As the monarch of a country, what should you stick to...... For example, the territory of the ancestors, which is left by the ancestors to the descendants, the common people know that it is not good to be a loser, and as an emperor, you should not easily abandon the land and give up the ancestral inheritance. If someone dares to invade the Ming Dynasty and covet the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then they must resolutely fight back, and they must be beaten to death. It is necessary to learn the courage and bloody nature of the Han and Tang dynasties to destroy the Xiongnu and the Turks, and not to learn the compromise and concession of the two Song Dynasty to the Khitan, the Jin, and the Mongols. ”
"Well said!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but slap his face and laughed loudly, "It's so good, Emperor Taizu got up and dressed in cloth, rushed to the north of Dayuan, and founded the Ming Dynasty." Less than three generations, the country is right, and there is no Ming Dynasty. Now that I have inherited the unification, I should work hard and magnify my father's foundation. Not only to defend the country, but also to expand the territory and achieve the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. This is the duty given to me by God, and the spirit of my father in the sky is also watching, I will be unswervingly determined in this life, and I will not rest until death! ”
That's it!
Xu Jingchang's eyes darkened, is Zhu Di about to enter the state of fighting demons?
You're crazy yourself, don't take me with you.
It's a pity, the blood of Zhu Di you instigated is boiling, can Zhu Di let you go?
"Xu Tongzheng, what do you think I should do, and what are the appropriate suggestions?"
Xu Jingchang was stunned and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...... Minister, I think it's good to rule by doing nothing. ”
"What did you say?" Zhu Di was suddenly furious, you have said it so clearly, why are you still doing nothing? Do you want to be fooled to death?
"That...... Actively working hard and being bold...... Inaction. ”
Zhu Di's eyes were round, and he was about to get angry.
At this time, Jian Yi hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Xu Tongzheng said is not unreasonable. At present, we have just experienced war, people's livelihood is withering, the treasury is empty, and we urgently need to restore the people's strength. ”
Xia Yuanji also immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, it is true, as far as the matter of the Daning Dusi is concerned, it is really the imperial court that cannot afford to support the 100,000 armor soldiers, so it has to be temporarily relocated. As the head of the household, the minister can make a military order to His Majesty here, and within three years, the people's livelihood will be restored and the treasury will be filled. Make sure you have enough food to eat. If the minister does not have this ability, please ask Your Majesty to cut off the minister's head to set an example. ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he finally showed a satisfied smile, and snorted at Xu Jingchang again, "That's what you mean?" ”
Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Yes, that's what it means, the minister is not as capable and honest as the two scholars." ”
Zhu Di smiled again, "If you are not capable and honest enough, then study hard, you are still young and have a lot of time." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di stood up, walked between the civil and military ministers, and said loudly: "There are a few major events next, I have to deploy them; One of them is that in the past four years, Jianwen has been young and deaf, deceived by traitors, changed the old system of Taizu, and must recover as soon as possible, and the traitors and villains must be eradicated. Shandong, Beiping, and Nanzhili have suffered military disasters in many places, especially Shandong, which has suffered heavy losses, and it is necessary to restore the people's livelihood as soon as possible and arrest the bandits. The Ministry of Officials needs to select suitable officials to go down, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also needs to reduce or reduce taxes as appropriate. ”
The two Shangshu immediately agreed, "The ministers obey the order." ”
"Also, Jianwen has recruited millions of soldiers, and now he must immediately rectify it, eliminate the old and weak, leave the young and strong, strictly train and not slack off. If anyone feels that it is difficult to succeed in appeasement, he can enjoy glory and wealth, connive at the generals under his command, corrupt the law of the country, and bully the people, I will definitely punish him severely and will not tolerate it. ”
Zhu Di glanced at the ministers present and said sharply: "I have said so much, in the final analysis, I want you to perform your duties, everyone is busy, don't think about fishing and listening to music, and lose your mind as a plaything." ”
When he said the last sentence, Zhu Di's eyes stared at Xu Jingchang fiercely......
