Chapter 167: The Great Army's Northern Expedition

The three of them were chatting like this in the study, and He Neng hurried over and reported: "Master, King Yan is here with Master Daoyan." ”

Zhu Yuying and He Qiu glanced at each other, sorted out their makeup, and said, "Husband, go with me to greet you." ”

He Qiu nodded, although he didn't know why Zhu Di came, but He Qiu knew very well that Zhu Di shouldn't come at this time, it must be something big.

When the two hurriedly walked to the living room of the Hou Mansion, they saw Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao sitting there drinking tea, seemingly leisurely, but the burnt color on Zhu Di's face betrayed him.

Most of the servants in Liangxiang Houfu came from Yanwangfu, and there was no basket in the number of ceremonies, and they did not embarrass the Houfu.

He Qiu took Zhu Yuying forward, saluted, and said, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”

Zhu Di looked carefully at their young couple, who were also his daughter and son-in-law, and sighed: "You two are indeed a good match." ”

Then he stepped up his order: "You take the two of us to your study, we have something to discuss." ”

He Qiu nodded, and let Zhu Yuying go back to the inner courtyard first, and led Zhu Di and the two to the study.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Zhu Di saw the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" that He Qiu was working on before, and couldn't help but pick it up and read it, and asked while reading: "Son-in-law, what kind of book are you?" ”

He Qiu bowed down and replied: "The medical book, "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", comprehensively popularizes various common diseases, as well as corresponding treatments. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he hurriedly put the book in his arms and tried to snatch it away.

He Qiu couldn't laugh or cry a little, "My good father-in-law, you always have to wait for me to finish sorting out my things and print a few copies, don't worry, Yanwang's Mansion is indispensable." ”

Zhu Di's face was not red, so he put the book back again, "Then you remember, if you don't give it to me at the first time, hum." ”

He Qiu was a little helpless, his father-in-law was playing a scoundrel like this, it was really difficult to get it.

Laughing for a while, how can he let people put the tea well, go out and hold the door of the courtyard of the study, Zhu Di's face was straight, and he finally got down to business.

"There are a few pieces of news from the imperial court, and it's not a trivial matter." Zhu Di said as he paced inside the room.

He Qiu saw his thoughts, and said, "What big news." ”

"One is that the "Mengxue Dictionary" presented by your Zhixing Academy is very popular with my father, and I have already found someone to start compiling the "Hongwu Dictionary", and I ordered to reward your academy with more than 100 acres of land as a school field."

He Qiu pondered, this is indeed a great thing, which means that the behavior of the academy in the future will have the support of Zhu Yuanzhang, which can reduce the attacks of many scholars and scholars.

He asked, "What else is there?" ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, his face was angry, and said: "The will of the imperial court, when the spring ploughing is over, it will wave the army to the Northern Expedition, appointing Yongchang Hou Lanyu as the general, Tang Shengzong and Guo Ying as the left and right deputy generals." ”

He Qiu had already counted it in his heart, this was the way it was arranged in history, nodded his head, and asked, "Then did you notify the Yan Wangfu of what to do?" ”

Zhu Di was a little depressed, and said bitterly: "I, Yanwang Mansion, am only responsible for logistics. ”

You must know that fighting wars in ancient times is different from modern times, especially the way of calculating military merits is very different. Like Da Ming, it is still the first level of merit.

This also means that except for the troops fighting in the front line, all other second-line troops and logistics teams have no military merits, and it is understandable that Zhu Di is unwilling to take on logistics work.

Zhu Di said to himself: "I don't know, why did my father appoint Lan Yu as a general, isn't this looking for trouble for me!" It's not that he doesn't know that Lan Yu has assassinated me several times, why should such a rebellious minister let him hold power. ”

He Qiu pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Probably for the prince, right?" ”

Zhu Di was still sulking there, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you think so?" ”

He Qiu said with some hesitation, "I don't have any evidence, it's just a feeling and speculation, or Mr. Yao will talk about your opinion." ”

Yao Guangxiao, who had watched the play for a long time with low eyebrows on the side, finally spoke slowly: "I agree with Mr. He's point of view, Your Majesty's move is for the prince." ”

Without waiting for Zhu Di to ask, Yao Guangxiao calmly started talking: "First, there are not many existing Xunguili who can still go out year after year, Zhongshan and Kaiping died early, and Cao Guogong also died early. ”

"Feng Sheng just made a mistake last time and was called back to the capital to reflect, after all, Fu Youde was originally a general, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to command this kind of big battle against the Northern Yuan, and after all, the right candidate is Lan Yu."

"From Your Majesty's point of view, there are too few generals in the prince's East Palace now, and there are too many ministers, so I may be a little worried that the prince will be bullied by these ministers, so I will help Lan Yu to fight against them, so as to balance the civil and military."

"At the same time, if Lan Yu is allowed to lead the troops and destroy the Northern Yuan in one battle, the prestige of the prince will also rise, in the final analysis, Lan Yu is the head of the prince line, and at least half of the credit he has made will be shared in the prince's head."

Zhu Di listened to Yao Guangxiao's analysis of his dear father, such a clever arrangement of killing birds with one stone, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, his father was so good to the crown prince that he never took their other princes into his eyes.

He Qiu also secretly sighed, Zhu Biao's treatment is really no one, and said: "No matter what, father-in-law, you should be careful, and avoid Lan Yu for the time being, lest he get nervous again and let people assassinate you." ”

Zhu Di responded in a muffled voice, "I know it in my heart." ”

He Qiu saw that Zhu Di was obviously not in the mood to continue talking about this topic now, so he diverted and asked Yao Guangxiao another matter: "What is the situation of the imperial history inspection and anti-corruption before?" ”

Mentioning this, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but laugh, "The effect is amazing, thousands of officials at all levels have been dismissed at one time, some of them were found out by the imperial history, and some were colluded with the imperial history and local officials, and they were privately picked up and reported by Jinyiwei." ”

"Although there are not as many people involved in this movement as Hu Weiyong's case, it is already a first-class major case in the world. I heard that in some places, the people who are now in charge of officials are not available, so they can only find some original officials to take office. ”

He Qiu secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this, and blurted out: "It's only been a few years? Have these officials forgotten His Majesty's butcher's knife and dragon might? How dare you be so corrupt, people are even thrown abroad! ”

Yao Guangxiao turned the Buddha beads in his hand and smiled silently.

He Qiu felt a little lucky, just like this in the officialdom now, he also owes himself self-knowledge and did not become an official, otherwise he would definitely fall into it, and he himself will be beheaded on this list.

He Qiu sighed with emotion: "Has anyone been stripped of skin and filled with grass? I'm curious about this. ”

Yao Guangxiao almost didn't hold the Buddha beads steadily, do you see if this is a human language? This kind of torture, you are still interested in it? But thinking of the ant hole that He Qiu made before, I also understood in my heart that this He Qiu was not a good person, and his methods were also very cool!
