Zhu Zhanyan didn't talk nonsense, he beat the water dog, he really didn't like it.

If he wants to ridicule, he usually chooses to ridicule on the spot, and when the time passes, it won't be interesting, just like when he was in the Muromachi shogunate, he ridiculed Ashikaga Yoshimori.

He could understand the idea of the old man asking him to come over and vent, but he really didn't need to.

Confucianism, he really doesn't care.

If he wants to rectify Confucianism, he has many ways, although he can't dig up the roots of Confucianism, and he can't let Confucianism disappear in the long river of history, but if he wants to disgust them to the point of vomiting, it is relatively simple.

After leaving the prison and feeling the fresh air outside, Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath.

"Xia Shangshu, you go back first."

"Huh?" Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"Then Wei Zhe will retire first."

"Jin Shangshu." Looking at Xia Yuanji's back, Zhu Zhanyan seemed to speak unintentionally.

"Do you want to go to the palace with me?"

……

Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Since the reign of King Han in the ninth year of Yongle, this is the first time that Zhu Zhanyan has taken the initiative to enter the palace not for official business.

Zhu Di was very happy, thinking that his own approach had an effect, but this was just his opinion.

In fact, Zhu Zhanyan took the initiative to enter the palace for official business.

His expression changed from happy to solemn, and it was only a matter of a moment.

Zhu Di looked at the imperial doctor in front of him, faintly wanting to be angry, but finally held back.

He knew that it was not the Tai Doctor in front of him who caused today's situation.

"You step down first......" Zhu Di sighed and waved his hand.

"Yes......"

The Imperial Physician trembled for a moment, and then retreated with relief, compared with Fang Cai's trembling, for fear that his head would hit the ground, the retreating Imperial Physician even walked a lot briskly.

"Jin Zhong, ...... you" Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong in front of him with a calm face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own life, Jin Zhong, it's worth it." Jin Zhong smiled, and did not worry about it because of his physical problems.

Jin Zhong, since Hongwu entered the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping as a guard in the twenty-fourth year, this person's life trajectory has gone all the way up, until Zhu Di's Jingnan, he supported Zhu Di and became the second hero of Jingnan.

However, this person only lived to April of the thirteenth year of Yongle in history, that is, ...... Next April.

Zhu Zhanyan originally didn't want to intervene in this matter, he has never been a selfless person, not to mention that Jin Zhong was against the old man making his father the crown prince, and it would be good for Zhu Zhanyan not to sneak him into a knife.

Although, Zhu Zhanyan also knew that Jin Zhong was thinking about the future of Daming and the stability of Daming, but there are some things, even if you know that it is right to do this, but when the person whose interests are damaged is you, you still can't help but feel resentful.

However, this time Jin Zhong helped him speak in the court, although Zhu Zhanyan didn't need it, he also accepted Jin Zhong's affection.

Human favor is not something you say you don't owe, but other people's thoughts are also one of the key factors affecting it.

Zhu Zhanyan never owes favors.

Even if it was given by Zhu Di, it was all exchanged for Zhu Zhan's killing of corrupt officials, widows and grassland tartars.

It's just that it seems that even if he said it in advance, there is no way to change the outcome of this matter.

Jin Zhong's illness was caused by years of exertion, coupled with the old diseases left behind by the injuries he was injured in the Jing Disaster, and it had accumulated to a qualitative change that was about to change.

If it is in the future life, there may be salvation, but now, the restrictions of the times have made many diseases terminal, and even a small cold may kill people.

Looking at Jin Zhong in front of him, Zhu Zhanyan was really a little admired, because when he knew that his illness had no possibility of cure, the first thing that came to mind was not his own private affairs, but official affairs.

"Your Majesty, instead of worrying about this, it is better to decide on the candidate for the next secretary of the military department as soon as possible."

Jin Zhong's eyes were clear, there was no cloudiness, and he didn't look like a terminally ill person at all.

Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Shizhong, since I ascended the throne, you have been the secretary of my Ming Dynasty's military department, do you have any recommendations?" ”

In the end, it was the emperor, even if he was very distressed by this old subordinate, Zhu Di still adjusted his mood very quickly.

"Minister, I don't have any ideas, everything is up to Your Majesty." Jin Zhong thought for a moment and lowered his head.

Daming, especially the talents of the Yongle Dynasty, is really unbalanced.

Wenchen has the cabinet Sanyang, and there are Hu Hui (yíng) and others in the follow-up, but there is only one Zhang Fu who has outstanding talents in martial arts.

Although the military department is a civilian official, it must also have a certain military talent, after all, this department has the word "soldier".

Except for supporting Zhu Gaochi when he proposed the crown prince, Jin Zhong almost never expressed his opinion on any issue related to the camp, nor did he recommend anyone.

This time, it's the same.

"Zhan Yan, what do you think?" The old man suddenly set his eyes on Zhu Zhanyan, which made him a little at a loss.

He only said that Jin Zhong had a physical problem in the spirit of returning Jin Zhong's favor, and he never thought of getting involved in the appointment and dismissal of a book.

To put it far away, he is a prince of the vassal domain, and he is not qualified to point fingers at this kind of thing, and he can't give advice.

Speaking closer, the more he talks, the more wrong he will be, and it is likely that he will become a burden in the future.

"It's been almost four years since my grandson left Yingtian, and I am not familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and even many officials in the DPRK and China have never understood it, so how can I recommend it?"

Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and said in a very official tone.

"I'm afraid my grandson won't be able to help with this."

Zhu Di sighed lightly, but did not speak again.

Zhu Zhanyan's thoughts, how could he not know?

A book, and it is also the appointment and dismissal of the military department, how can it be possible to choose from among the new faces? If you want to choose, you must choose from those old faces who have merit.

Zhu Zhanyan said that he had been away from Beijing for a long time and was not familiar with the personnel and things of the DPRK and China, which seemed very reasonable, after all, four years was not a short time, but in fact it could also be said to be pure nonsense.

"Hmm......" Seeing that Jin Zhong and Zhu Zhanyan didn't want to recommend, Zhu Di could only frown and ponder.

After a long time, Zhu Di said a life.

"You say, how is Fang Bin?"

"Ahem......"

As soon as the old man spoke, Zhu Zhanyan couldn't help coughing twice, and immediately attracted the eyes of the old man and Jin Zhong.

It wasn't that he did it on purpose, but because he was so surprised by the name that he choked on a mouthful of spit.

"It's alright...... It's okay......" Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand again and again.

Fang Bin, a supporting actor who has not played a small role in the TV series, is actually the same as the filial piety Queen Sun, who is not brilliant in history.

Fang Bin is a person with average ability, but his ability to steer the rudder when he sees the wind is okay, but his brain is a little bit less meaningful.

Fang Bin was born in the Hongwu period, at first he started from Langzhong in the Criminal Department, and then transferred to the Military Department within a few months, and then committed something and was demoted to Guangdong, and it took a long time to return to the power center of the heavens.

Later, the old man Jing was unable to succeed, and Fang Bin was one of the first people to defect to the Yongle Dynasty, and took the opportunity to climb to the position of the right attendant of the military department.

Historically, he became the second secretary of the military department of the Yongle Dynasty after Jin Zhong, but this person's death was too interesting, so Zhu Zhanyan felt that he was not qualified to be the secretary of the military department.

Historically, in the nineteenth year of Yongle, the old man wanted to drive the expedition in person, but at that time, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were already overwhelmed, so Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, joined Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the criminal department, and Fang Bin, who was the secretary of the military department at that time, jointly admonished and tried to prevent the old man from driving the expedition.

It was at that time that Xia Yuanji was imprisoned, and Fang Bin was so frightened that he hanged himself because of what happened to Xia Yuanji.

How could this kind of person be a secretary of the military department?

"Zhan Yan, if you have something to say, why don't you say it directly?" Although Zhu Zhanyan said that it was okay, how could Zhu Di not know that Zhu Zhanyan had an opinion on this matter?

"Uh......" Zhu Zhanyan looked at the old man, thought about it, and commented shallowly.

"The Ministry of War, the soldiers, there is no such thing as peace, so no matter what the situation is, the decision of the Ministry of War can only be war, not peace, let alone surrender."

"If the military department of a dynasty loses its strength, then the dynasty will be over."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan nodded slightly towards the old man and didn't speak.

Seeing this, he has said enough, in order to repay the old man for letting him go to prison today.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanyan twice, and did not speak, but he did not say anything about the book of the Ministry of War.

stood up, picked up a letter from the bookcase, and Zhu Di put it in Zhu Zhanyan's hand.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

……

Zhu Zhanyan didn't want to speak.

This is the fold he handed to the old man yesterday, and he knows best what is written in it.

Now the old man has taken it back, obviously trying to make him clear.

"What should be said, grandchildren have already written it, you should be able to understand it." Zhu Zhanyan returned the fold to the old man's hands.

"Because of Huang Huai?" Zhu Di's eyes were full of deep meaning when he looked at Zhu Zhanyan.

"Yes." Zhu Zhanyan nodded without any hesitation.

"Are you just going to end it? I thought you'd use some other means......" Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanyan intently, as if he wanted to get some answer.

"After all, you also know that now you can be said to be the public enemy of the world's scholars, so you don't have any ideas?"

Zhu Zhanyan was silent.

Ideas, of course he has, but not now, and he won't say it in front of the old man.

His method against Confucianism, I'm afraid that the old man can't accept it, but there are others who can do it.

Therefore, although Zhu Zhanyan planned to disgust the Confucian scholars fiercely, he never thought of using the old man's hands to achieve this matter.

In contrast, some people are actually better to use.
