Zhu Gaoxian and Xia Yuanji sat at a table in the backyard, this table is not big, there are six chairs, Zhang Fu, Lu Chaoyang, and Yang Rong are sitting respectively, and after Zhu Gaoxian and Xia Yuanji are seated, there is an empty chair.

Su Wen stood beside Zhu Gaoxian and glanced at the chair.

That seat is Su Wu's seat, and now that Su Wu is serving as a political envoy in Goryeo Province, this chair is empty, but Zhu Gaoxian still left this chair for him.

Those who can sit at this table are the core figures of the Qi Palace, and other elders are not nothing, such as Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, and others, but although they all belong to the Qi Wang Party, they have never entered the core layer of the Qi Palace.

An ordinary table that clearly separates everyone.

Zhu Gaoxian noticed Su Wen's gaze and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, you will also sit here in the future."

Su Wen nodded, without saying much, but he couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

He is deeply appreciated by the prince, but if he wants to sit at this table, in addition to gaining the trust of King Qi, he also needs his own strength.

What kind of fairy characters are sitting at this table?

The former military leader of the British Gong Zhang Fu! The biggest spy leader of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Chaoyang! Xia Yuan Jixia Lao Shangshu, who is in charge of the world's money! Yang Rong, who has the absolute right to speak in the cabinet!

Su Wu, who was not at the scene, was also the number one in Goryeo Province, and when he returned to Beijing, he would inevitably be promoted to the top of the list, and he was in a high position!

And Su Wen is now just a personal guard who follows Zhu Gaoxian, although he has repeatedly turned in the palace and the army, but his rank has not climbed.

Zhu Gaoxian's current sentence is undoubtedly implying that Su Wen is only a thin line away from promotion.

Su Wen's qualifications are almost the same, what he lacks is a chance, he can soar into the sky!

Zhu Gaoxian stood up, all the guests at the tables in the courtyard quieted down, and they all looked over, and under the gaze of everyone, he said slowly:

"This king can come to this day, it all depends on your promotion, taking advantage of today to congratulate the little girl and the dog to get together, if there is no good hospitality, I hope you will forgive me, come, I will first mention a glass to you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxian drank the cup.

Everyone poured wine into the cups and congratulated King Qi.

Zhu Gaoxian walked off the stage with a glass, toasting to each table, smiling, chatting and laughing with the guests, Su Wen followed behind him, holding a wine jug in both hands and waiting to fill the wine.

When he arrived at the last table, Zhu Gaoxian was stained with the fragrance of wine, his face was a little ruddy, and he picked up his wine glass and said to everyone at the table: "Everyone, if you have any needs, tell the people that this king would like to thank you for your support, and I would like to give you a glass."

Everyone in front of the table got up one after another, and raised their wine glasses in return: "The prince is so enthusiastic, where do I have any needs, congratulations on your love to mention the dragon and phoenix, the county lord has such a handsome father as the prince, and when he grows up, he will definitely be like a flower and a jade and a country and a city, the little prince is the inheritance of the prince's heroism, can be literary and martial, can be conscripted on the horse, and can govern the country when dismounted, I will give the prince a glass first!"

"Hahaha, okay, this king drinks first as a respect."

Zhu Gaoxian drank all the wine in the cup, handed the wine cup to Su Wen behind him, and said to the people at the table, "Everyone eat and drink well, this king will leave first."

….

"Slow down, the prince!"

"Lord Wang, please!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly chuckled, but Zhu Gaoxian was keenly aware of it, his body was as thin as a gust of wind that could blow it away, his hair had been infected with silver gray, and his face was wrinkled like a knife, although he looked like a late old man, his eyes were as deep and sharp as obsidian.

Zhu Gaoxian looked a little familiar, so he asked Su Wen behind him, "Who is this person?"

Su Wen replied in a low voice, "The former cabinet scholar and the prince's attendant, Yang Shiqi."

"Is this Yang Shiqi?" Zhu Gaoxian was a little surprised, "I've seen him before, why haven't I seen such a big change in more than a year?"

Su Wen said in a low voice, "The former imperial grandson and the Duke of Wei Guoyi

Eucalyptus, Yang Shiqi also participated, but at that time, His Majesty pressed down the eucalyptus, although Yang Shiqi picked up a life, but ......

Zhu Gaoxian understood, isn't the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, the son of the current King of Gan, the rebellious eucalyptus who died Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, but the old man didn't want to be on the table at this time, so he didn't pursue the participants too deeply.

The rebel armies were scattered and distributed among several other armies, and the generals who participated in the rebellion were reduced in rank, but not executed. The officials who were in charge of the capital were more or less affected, and the Jinyi guards were staring at them to death, and the names of those who participated were recorded in the book of life and death, and they were beaten one by one, although they did not cause death, but they were not much better.

The old man's way of dealing with it is already quite merciful, what are these people doing? These people are plotting rebellion!

Throughout the ages, how many people have survived after the rebellion has been suppressed? The generals and officials who participated in the rebellion will give you a whole death!

Yang Shiqi can live, and even still serve as a Beijing official, he has already burned Gao Xiang's ancestral tomb and smoked, and if you are another emperor, even if you don't kill you, you will have to be exiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has taken his leave."

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and waved to everyone, and after turning around, his smile disappeared instantly, and he asked Su Wen, "Who sent the invitation to Yang Shiqi, why did he come?"

Su Wen paused: "Wait a minute, Lord Wang, this matter was arranged by Xiao Li, I'll go and ask."

"Hmm."

It didn't take long for Su Wen to run back and say, "Lord, the minister has asked, no one sent an invitation to Yang Shiqi, he came uninvited."

Zhu Gaoxian smiled: "Damn, this is also a talent, came to the banquet of my Qi Wangfu to eat and drink?"

Su Wen asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to drive this person out?"

"It's so much fun to be a person when you get out there." Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while and said, "Let him wait for me in the study, by the way, let the next person prepare wine and food in the study."

"I see."

……

Zhu Gaoxian sat at the table of Zhang Fu, Yang Rong and others, and teased at the British public: "Father-in-law is also a grandfather, why is he still so unsmiling?"

Zhang Fu said helplessly, "It's not that you don't know, I've always been like this."

Indeed, this British prince has always been a Sima face, and he loves to ignore anyone, and when he is in the southwest, no matter how the wind and clouds change, he still sits firmly on Mount Tai.

The British public Zhang Fu, the military ministers also, and the six secretaries.

….

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile: "The last time I conquered the southwest, I was a deputy general for my father-in-law and your old man, if I conquer the southwest again, I'm afraid I will have to ask you to give me a hand."

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

If the Ming Dynasty does not recuperate for a period of time, it will inevitably hurt the country's capital if it continues to fight."

Natsuhara agreed: "I'm a calculus, I don't know how to fight, but I know how the supply lines for war come from. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, if the food is gone, you can plant it again, and if the arrow is lost, you can rebuild it, but this generation is finished, and when the time comes, the country's manpower will be broken. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has stabilized its territory, the Northeast is thriving, and the disadvantages of continuous warfare have also been revealed, and the Ming Dynasty needs to rest."

What hindered Zhu Gaoxian's expansion of territory was not the strength of the enemy, but the favorable time and place.

One is the extreme wall of the empire, and the other is unadaptable.

The extreme wall of the empire, that is, the limit of the empire's ruling range, this limit is the place where the army can reach in about a hundred days, within this range, the empire can exercise direct rule, beyond which the country will lose the ability to rule directly.

The Ming Dynasty has abundant national strength, and it is not difficult to relocate the population, the only difficulty is that transportation is restricted, and once there is a local mutiny, it is difficult to mobilize the army to quell the rebellion in a short time. The solution to this problem can only rely on Zhu Gaoxian to take the Daming Point Technology Tree.

The second is that the water and soil are not adapted, the army of the Ming Dynasty is clearly distinguished, the army in the south is the landmark army of the Southwest Army, the army in the north is mainly the Liaodong Army, and the central part is Jinling City, which followed Zhu Di from Shuntian to cross the Yangtze River, and now it has been incorporated into the Beijing camp.

Once they leave the North and the South, these armies will find themselves in a dilemma.

When Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Kingdom arrived in India, the crusade was ultimately incomplete due to the lack of adaptation to the land and water and the epidemic of disease among the army.

The pace of leapfrogging is too great, and it is inevitable that the water and soil will not adapt.

If Alexander at that time had not been affected by the water and soil, and even crossed thousands of miles over mountains and mountains to the Central Plains, although this possibility was zero, then he faced the Qin state during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin......
