was interrupted by the news of the Timurid Empire, and Zhu Biao didn't care about urging Zhu Di to marry earlier. Back at the banquet, Zhu Biao told Lao Zhu about the incident. Lao Zhu only twisted his eyebrows and waved his hand: "You don't have to talk about this first." Today is your fifth brother's wedding day, let's not bother with it, it's important to celebrate first! ”

If this matter was told at the banquet, so many high-drinking nobles present would be excited, and they were afraid that they would directly lift Zhu Su's Zhou Palace.

Zhu Su also thought that Lao Zhu was not interested in the affairs of the Timurid Khanate far away for the time being, until the next day when Zhu Su supported his waist and led his bride Xu Miaoyun into the palace to meet him, he knew that Lao Zhu was actually in the palace, and he was furious with Mao Xiang under the command of the Jinyi Guard.

"Let's let you keep an eye on the surrounding countries, and as soon as there is a stir, the report will be played immediately."

"The Chagatai Khanate is on the side of my Ming couch, and it is the country established by the Northern Yuan Golden Family. It should have been a top priority. His country was invaded, why didn't you see your brocade guard? ”

"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei needs to supervise the officials of the world and be the eyes and ears of His Majesty. But there are only so many people...... Minister, minister......"

"Bastard!" Lao Zhu grabbed a Duan inkstone casually and smashed it towards Mao Xiang. Mao Xiang's forehead was broken by the inkstone.

"I know how to make it at home, I don't know if we want to be the king of the territory! What we want you to do is an eagle for us to find out the enemy's situation, not just a guard dog who knows how to cross the house! ”

"Your Majesty is angry, angry...... Death penalty! "Mao Xiang kowtows like pounding garlic. In the past few years, everything has gone smoothly in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the major affairs in the DPRK and China have been handed over to Zhu Biao and the cabinet, and Lao Zhu has not been so angry for a long time.

This emperor, which he had not experienced for a long time, was shrouded, and Mao Xiang only felt two trembling and wanted to die.

"Dad, what is this?" Zhu Su happened to come to the Jinshen Hall at this time, and saw Mao Xiang kneeling at the bottom of the stairs trembling, and his heart was already clear. Then he walked to Lao Zhu's side, stroked his back and calmed his breath: "Father, the son and his wife went back to the palace today to worship, you don't wait in the harem, why are you so angry?" ”

"Commander Mao, this king and his father still have important matters to discuss, and you still don't want to retreat?" As he spoke, he glanced at Mao Xiang.

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Your Highness, Your Majesty, and your Majesty will retire. Mao Xiang suddenly burst into tears, saluted Zhu Su and Lao Zhu respectively, and then quickly left the Jinshen Palace.

"What are you doing to intercede for him?" Old Zhu is still angry. "I'm mad at us. We have so much money and food every year, and we have nothing else to ask for him Jinyiwei, we just want them to be our eyes and ears. ”

"The result? The officials carefully raised by the imperial court, such a majestic brocade guard, are not as good as those three-class and ninth-rate rangers under the old and second-hand people! ”

"The Timurid Empire invaded the Mongols in the west...... They didn't even hear about such an important thing! Why, when Timur brought his troops to the Central Plains, could he know about it? ”

Emperor Hongwu's angry appearance is really terrifying, if it weren't for the fact that he has been much closer to Lao Zhu in the past few years, and knows that this old man actually has the most family affection in his heart, Zhu Su wouldn't even dare to speak at such a time. At this time, he helped Lao Zhu to sit down after the imperial case, and smiled and comforted: "You go along first." I know you think the brocade guards are vegetarian meals. They should have been a sharp blade for you to spy on the surrounding enemies and deal with corrupt officials, but now that you are blunt first, you should naturally be angry. ”

"However, Jin Yiwei is in such a powerful position, and he should not be re-elected by one person for too long. If it was Mao Xiang in history, he should have stepped down at this time. Although this person is loyal, his vision is not wide, and he only wants to rely on exposing people's private affairs to ascend to the top, which is now out of place. ”

"It's better to take this opportunity to entrust Mao Xiang with another important task and change someone to continue to be in charge of Jinyiwei."

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Su and sighed. "You're right, Mao Xiang can't stay. The Ming Dynasty is now like a boat sailing against the current, if you continue to use this too ruthless Jinyi guard to command, you will definitely retreat if you don't advance in the future. ”

"It's still that we are too careful, it's your mother who thinks that our reputation in history is too bad, so persuade us to take it and put it away......"

"Mother is also thinking about you. In history, you raised a big case to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen's useless people...... Now that I am in peace all over the world, my eldest brother and Xiongying are in good health, and you will not leave the reputation of that tyrant. ”

When Lao Zhu heard this, he didn't hide the joy on his face. "We don't care about reputation, it's just that your mother said that we killed too many people, I'm afraid we will damage the yin virtue of our old Zhu family...... We originally wanted to kill Mao Xiang today, but you saved us. What's the matter, it's of great use for you to keep this hair? ”

"Naturally useful. Although Mao Xiang is not right-minded, his loyalty is beyond doubt. Zhu Su said.

"Again, now I am a rare person in China, and I am a disabled person, and I should make the best use of it. Erchen wants Mao Xiang to escort Tie Xuan to board the ship to find America, what do you think? ”

"Let Mao Xiang?" Lao Zhu was stunned. "What's the point?"

"Thousands of miles of sea and frontier are separated, but just in case." Zhu Su said.

It's not that I'm worried that Jang Hyuk and Tie Hyun will have any different intentions, but the Americas are too far away, and the so-called whip can't reach them. With today's conditions, it is actually difficult for the Ming Dynasty to control the Americas in their hands.

The colonization of the Americas, Zhu Su regarded it as very important. Not only because Tie Xuan, who went this time, was his own disciple, but also because the Americas were rich in materials, if they were not occupied in advance and obtained by the West, they would definitely breed a huge country that could compete with China in the future.

Even if the elite is recruited and comes to the Americas after a lot of hardship, those soldiers will not necessarily still be loyal to the Ming Dynasty when they arrive in these three areas.

What's more, normal people would never be willing to move to a barren land like the Americas. The first immigrants to the Americas, and the next few immigrants, were all prisoners who were condemned for their crimes. Many of these people should be sentenced to death, because the Ming Dynasty is now in urgent need of manpower, and this is the first time that the Ming Dynasty went to sea to open up a colony, and the road ahead must be difficult. But in case these people mutinied and rebelled in the Americas, and they wanted to carve out their own land and claim the throne in the Americas, this expedition carefully prepared by the Ming Dynasty might fall short.

Tie Hyun is a humble gentleman after all, and he may not be able to control that group of sinners. At this time, the means of people like Mao Xiang are needed.

"Well, your concerns are not unreasonable." After telling Lao Zhu the truth, Lao Zhu also nodded in agreement. "Mao Xiang is famous for his murder, and he is the most experienced in how to deal with sinners."

"I will rely on you, we will leave him a name, and order him to guard Tie Xuan's left and right, and open up the land of America for our Ming Dynasty."

"And that Timurid Empire...... You want to know more news, and you can't let it continue to grow! Do you have a plan? Lao Zhu asked.
