Zhu Di was shocked, he was still too young after all, and he thought that things were far less old and spicy than Lao Zhu. Now among the soldiers under his command, there are many foreign races, and there are few Huaxia. At this time, it is good to win consecutive battles, but if there is a defeat and the morale of the army is frustrated, those sultanates and tribal leaders who have surrendered may not have different aspirations in their hearts.

And if the rear is unstable, you are on the front line, far away from your homeland, you will definitely be in trouble.

"Yes...... The son is ignorant, and the father is angry. ”

Zhu Di is not a reckless person, but he didn't think about it for a while and didn't think so much. was said by Lao Zhu, and immediately figured it out. It's just that there is still a look of regret and loss on his face.

Lao Zhu loves his children and grandchildren the most, and when he saw that Zhu Di was really lost, he couldn't help but ease his face. coughed lightly twice and said: "We also know that you want to make contributions to Daming, and take a break for the time being, it's not that I will leave my minions like this in the future." ”

"Those Xiyi are not a thing, instigating Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng, the two idiots. Sooner or later, we're going to have to settle this account with them...... When the time comes, it will naturally be of great use to you. ”

Speaking of Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng, Lao Zhu's words still have a little regret. These two are also the righteous sons who he personally taught and promoted in the past, and it must be a lie to say that there is no emotion. Now that the two of them have ended up like this, they have died, and Lao Zhu will no longer blame Tang and Lu, but will count this account on the Britons who connected the two.

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and Lao Zhu's words were enough to show that even if he recuperated, it was only an expedient measure. Isn't it, since the West has the possibility of bullying China and overriding China in the future, it is incumbent on my generation to press these possible Wang Ba back into their puddles.

What's more, Britain's "national letter" belonging to the Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty is justified in asking Britain for sinning Britain, and even taking down its national autonomy.

Liu Bowen's testament really caused an uproar in the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty is now full of martial virtues, like a chariot full of power and galloping, and suddenly asked it to stop temporarily, and many military ministers and nobles, and even civil ministers were unwilling.

Thanks to Lao Zhu, he rewarded Liu Bowen at the same time, and expressed his attitude towards this matter to the officials of the court, so that many wall-riding factions openly supported the imperial court to take a break for the time being. However, Rao is like this, the resistance between the DPRK and China is still very great, that is, Lao Zhu can forcibly stop this chariot that needs maintenance, otherwise, I am afraid that it will continue to run until the moment when the car is destroyed and people die.

At the court meeting, Lao Zhu personally issued a series of decrees to recuperate, announcing that the Ming court would turn from offensive to defensive and digest the results that had been achieved. At the same time, newspapers, operas, and other propaganda methods at the disposal of the imperial court also began to be mobilized in order to minimize the impact of the incident at the level of public opinion.

Lao Zhu, who was already in a semi-recuperation state, also began to redevote himself to court politics. Although Zhu Biao is capable, he is inferior to him in terms of experience, so Lao Zhu has returned to the state of checking everything and reviewing hundreds of notes a day. On this day, Lao Zhu was reviewing the recital in the palace, but he saw an attendant walking in lightly, and saw that Lao Zhu put down the opportunity to take a breath, leaned down and said softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Ru Yuru asks to see you." ”

"Huh?" Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows, Ru Yu, the current squire of the Ministry of War, is an official from the Guozijian. There is a distinction between a tribute prison, a lifting prison, a shadow prison, and a regular prison. Ru Yu belonged to the Gongjian and was an outstanding student selected by the local government, prefecture and county Confucianism according to the plan, and he obtained this qualification at the age of 16, which shows his excellence.

This person is pragmatic, not surprised, not easy to boast, very suitable for Lao Zhu's spleen and stomach, Lao Zhu has high hopes, deliberately simplified, used to assist Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying's talent in the future.

Ru Yu lowered his head and entered respectfully, and when he reached the bottom of the steps, he bowed down in fear and said: "Minister Ru Yu, knock to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty bows to the Holy Blessings!" ”

Lao Zhu has been on the throne for many years, even if he is kind and pleasant, he often makes people feel a dragon power rushing in, and a young courtier like Ru Yu is somewhat afraid of this emperor. Seeing him like this, Lao Zhu softened his complexion slightly, and said, "Ru Yu, what is the important thing for you to enter the palace to see us?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed ......in a hurry" Ru Yu took out a book from his arms and held it high above the top, and the guards next to Lao Zhu Erhu understood, and took the music and presented it to Lao Zhu with both hands.

"Sizhou is in chaos again?" As soon as he opened the music slightly, Lao Zhu's brows furrowed.

"Yes." Ru Yu nodded, her face not worrying. "The minister knows that His Majesty wants to recuperate and rest for a while, so he really shouldn't bother with this matter."

"And then...... Please forgive the minister for bluntly saying that the Central Plains and Jiangnan soldiers can rest on their own, but in the southwest of the country, there are many arrogant people, if there is no suppression by the heavenly soldiers of our court, it may be difficult to submit to the control of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"The rebellion in Sizhou, if it is not the southwest realm, is not as good as the Central Plains, it is like the hay next to the house, if it is left unchecked, if the fire starts another day, it will affect the house."

"Ministers are courageous, please ask Your Majesty to condemn the Duke of Cao Guo and the Duke of Liang Guo, pacify the rebellion in Sizhou, and appease the southwest." Ru Yu said.

He knelt down in a five-body posture, and his words were extremely earnest, because he knew that now was the time for the emperor to declare that he would take a break from the war. But he was asking the emperor to send two princes to send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible...... This is tantamount to asking the emperor to change his order every day, if the emperor is responsible, he is afraid that he can take his life on the spot.

Lao Zhu only thought for a while, and then said, "Don't be so honest. You are loyal, we are not unreasonable people, so naturally we will not blame. ”

"We want to take a break from the army, and we also want me to rest and recuperate for a while...... If these barbarians are allowed to wreak havoc on the place, then how can they recuperate? ”

"You step down first, we know about it. I will not teach this rebellion to last for a long time. ”

"Yes." Ru Yu was overjoyed, kowtowed deeply again, and retreated.

After he left, Lao Zhu still had a solemn face, picked up a jade ruyi next to the throne, and began to gently beat it in the palm of his hand.

Naturally, he was not worried about the barbarian rebellion, but in Lianzhou, near Sizhou, Li Wenzhong and Lan Yu led tens of thousands of troops and were stationed there. As long as this army is dispatched, a few barbarians can be destroyed overnight. Lao Zhu is thinking about something more long-term.

"Annan ......" He stood up and paced to the screen behind him, on the screen, the "Annan Kingdom" in the lower left corner of the Ming Dynasty was reflected in Lao Zhu's eyes.
