"It's just a vassal country, what a lot of worry! Do you need to work so hard? Zhu Di said politely.

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, he felt that it was necessary to add some blockage to Zhu Laosi.

"Your Majesty, of course it is necessary, what if you are defeated?"

"Defeated?" Zhu Di was suddenly furious, "Shangguo is a strong general, invincible, can't even the small country of Yuer be defeated?" It's a rice bucket. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, you see that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and put the Great Sui Dynasty into it, and Li Shimin continued to crusade against Goguryeo, but it was still in the hands of Li Zhi that Goguryeo was destroyed." There are also Nanzhao Kingdom, Tubo State, and Western Xia, the party members have been established for more than 100 years, fighting with the Song Dynasty, fighting with the Khitan, and fighting with the Jin State, and finally perished in the hands of the Mongols...... It is not easy to build a country, and it is also not easy to destroy a country. If you just transfer troops to attack, I am afraid that it will backfire, and you may lose 10,000 yourself and kill 800 enemies. After all, there are some small countries that may not be very powerful in battle, but relying on the danger of mountains and streams, they can block millions of soldiers...... Annan, for example, is such a place. ”

Zhu Di frowned, because there was indeed news recently that Annan was unstable, and he planned to transfer troops to recruit after cleaning up North Korea, but he didn't expect Xu Jingchang to break it in advance.

"Are you against our use of soldiers? Then let's ask you, what should I do if the vassal is disobedient? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Then find an obedient one." ”

"Looking for an obedient one?" Zhu Di frowned puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"That is, if a vassal has neighbors, and they have contradictions, they can be co-opted and used as helpers. Even if you can't find another country, you can find a helper from within the vassal state, divide and disintegrate, buy if you can, buy if you can, and find a way to frame you...... All in all, fighting a war is the last resort, not that it cannot be fought, but that troops cannot be used casually, especially if the Son of Heaven personally recruits it, and without the certainty of a quick victory, it must not be dispatched. ”

Zhu Di frowned, looked at his sons, and snorted coldly: "What do you say? What do you think of what he said? ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "The child and the cousin have one meaning, what he said is too good." ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu again, "What about you?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said lightly: "As long as you don't lose money." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was so angry, how could these two children be disobedient!

"I was a feudal domain in my early years, and I attacked the desert several times, and I was invincible. After four years of Jingjing, the war must be the first, and the weak defeated the strong, and finally entered Yingtian. When it comes to the ability to command troops to fight, I ask myself, I dare not say that I am also stable in the world. How can you be afraid and hold back! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is brave, the world knows it, but the descendants may not have this ability in the future, and His Royal Highness didn't come to the front line this time, right?" By the way, there is also His Royal Highness. ”

Xu Jingchang pulled Zhu Zhanji over, "Your Majesty thinks he can personally recruit and lead the troops?" ”

Zhu Di snorted: "This is my grandson, I personally taught him, and it is bound to make him both civil and military, crisscrossing the battlefield, and invincible in the world." ”

"What about the next generation?" Xu Jingchang said unhurriedly: "There are always people who are not good at fighting, in case the imperial drive is defeated and the Ming family is lost, it will be a big trouble." ”

Zhu Di wrinkled his brows, "Xu Jingchang, what do you mean?" When you are happy, you have to add to the blockage. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The minister has no other meaning, but just suggests that Your Majesty be cautious and leave rules for future generations, which is also for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but snort coldly, "The tone in which you speak now is the same as Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji." You have been an official for a long time, and you are not intimate with me, you are very hateful! ”

In the face of Zhu Di's angry scolding, Xu Jingchang was not in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the minister is young and ignorant, and he can't tell right from wrong." Now that His Royal Highness has entered Beijing, His Majesty should let him take over government affairs as soon as possible and assist the monarch, no one is more suitable than him, and His Majesty can rest assured. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, appointing his own boss?

There is such a saying.

The crown prince is the regent of the country, and the eldest brother Zhu Biao was like this at the beginning, at least all government affairs must be handed over to him a copy......

"Xu Jingchang, do you really think the boss is suitable?"

"Yes, there is no one more suitable than His Highness."

"Then you're not afraid of losing your official position and being dismissed?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Your Majesty, please see, the minister's house is being rebuilt, and there are all kinds of messy things, and the minister really doesn't want to be a political envoy." ”

Zhu Di was silent again and again, and then looked at Empress Xu.

"I don't have any opinions, I listen to Your Majesty."

Zhu Di pondered again and again, "In this way, let the boss go to the General Administration Department to observe the government first, and experience more." Zhu Di said to Zhu Dapang again: "Boss, although your cousin is young, he has a lot of ideas, and he is also ...... in the court If you have a problem, you can ask him more. ”

Zhu Gaochi was still a little embarrassed, his cousin helped him so much, but as a result, he took away his power as soon as he came up, which was not kind enough.

"Your Highness, don't hesitate, as long as it is good for the Ming Dynasty, I will fully support it, and I will not complain."

Zhu Gaochi was moved, "I'm really blessed, virtuous brother, I will trouble you in the future." ”

After eating a meal, although he did not officially canonize the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi took a solid step forward and had the power to observe the government.

Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson who proposed to hold this reception banquet, picked up a big bargain, and after his mother Zhang heard about it, she took out a full hundred taels of gold from Zhu Dapang's small treasury, and the black boy became a golden boy.

"Second brother, you really just watched like this, the boss is going smoothly now, you really don't have the heart to win the heir?" Zhu Gaosui was puzzled.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, "You can't look at it like this, you should prepare a gift for the boss and congratulate him on his ascension!" ”

Lose your marbles!

The dick is completely insane.

Zhu Gaosui has no tricks, and the eldest brother said that he will have a good fortune, so let's obediently prepare a gift and send it!

Father is kind and filial piety, brother and brother are respectful.

Is this still the old Zhu family?

"Brother Xian, this is the first time I have gone to the General Administration Department to observe the government, and I don't understand what's going on, do you have any instructions?" Zhu Gaochi humbly asked for advice.

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's okay, I've been in the General Administration Department for a few months, that is, the major events are approximate, the imperial court is made by rules, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and the cabinet scholars, and the major events are roughly handed over according to their opinions, and there will be no accidents." As for the little things, just be a little careful and don't make mistakes. But then again, you are the eldest son of the emperor, so you don't have to care about any trivial things...... Anyway, with you on top, I can study the recipe at home. ”

Zhu Dapang thought about it, and it seemed to be the same thing. He finally went to the General Administration Department happily.

Seeing Zhu Da Fat leaving, Xu Jingchang almost laughed.

At this moment, Zhu Dapang jumped into the fire pit, and Xu Jingchang also successfully took himself out.

Although I have my hands in my pockets, I don't know what an opponent is...... But in the end, more is better than less.

After all, less than a month will be the first year of Yongle.

Zhu Di has been holding back for so long, and there are a lot of things he wants to do, and there are not many people in the court who can serve Zhu Di well. Especially in such an unfortunate place as the General Administration, it was sandwiched between the courtiers and the emperor.

Although the authority is great enough, there is also a lot of trouble.

"Let's let your father work hard, I am destined to be a rich idler in my life." Xu Jingchang smiled and fought crickets with Zhu Zhanji.

The little guy got a perfect score in the year-end exam, and made an exception to reward him with two crickets, and Zhu Zhanji had a good time.

"I also want to be a rich idler, fight crickets every day, eat something delicious, and I will be very satisfied."

Xu Jingchang just smiled, "Cherish the time now, your nightmare is not far away." ”

While the two of them were playing, Wu Shan hurriedly visited.

"My lord, something big is going to happen."

Xu Jingchang saw that his face had changed, so he hurriedly got up and pulled him out, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Shan said: "Xiaguan just learned that someone used a grain cart to secretly hide top silk and jewelry into Beijing to evade taxes. ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned, "You didn't remind Your Highness?" ”

Wu Shan said: "Today I went to the Ministry of Officials to calculate the allowance of the General Administration, but I was not in the yamen. When I came back, His Highness and Zhu Qianhu had already left. ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned, and suddenly sneered: "This must be Xia Yuanji's means, he knows that I am in the General Administration Department, and he will definitely let the household department rush to the front, and as a result, he took advantage of the first day of His Highness to observe the government, so he was dragged and became a pawn." This guy is a smiling tiger, and he has a lot of ideas. I ask you, who is behind the smuggled goods? ”

"Yes...... Wang Zhong, Marquis of Jing'an. ”

Xu Jingchang's eyes immediately flashed an unruly and untamed general, this guy is notoriously difficult, in the army, that is, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu can barely suppress it, others can't do it at all.

While Xu Jingchang and Wu Shan were talking, a drunken martial artist actually rushed directly into the second hall of the household.

"Natsuhara-yoshi! I'm ...... Your mother! ”

"You fucking dare to detain my things, when Lao Tzu charged for His Majesty, you were still holding Zhu Yunwen's eggs, and you were a loyal minister of Jianwen!"
