In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had already changed out of his sacrificial clothes and put on the dragon robe again.

He looked at his four sons with a serious expression and saluted him, and after they got up, he first said to the second and third children: "Pack up and go back to the fiefdom quickly." ”

"Yes, Father." The two of them hurriedly responded.

"After you two go back, don't harass the place anymore, and concentrate on training." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Let's start next year, let the two of you lead the army out of the fortress and fight with the Northern Yuan!" ”

"Yes." The brothers have a much louder voice this time, which is what the two of them have always dreamed of. And they are fooling around in the local area, mostly because they can't release their exuberant energy.

"When training soldiers, they must love soldiers like children, and they are not allowed to beat and scold soldiers at will. It is necessary to ask more generals at all levels for advice and get closer to them. Zhu Yuanzhang's meaningful teachings:

"There are three elites of my Ming border army, which are under the control of the two of you and King Yan. We are not worried about Xu Da on the side of King Yan, what we are worried about is the two of them, can they hold on to the proud soldiers under their respective commands? ”

Saying that, he sighed and said, "It would be nice if Deng Yu was here." ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is not very worried about King Jin's way, although this third child is not as likable as when he was young, but he is both wise and brave, and he is up to the task. With him on the Shanxi side, he shouldn't be able to get out of the basket.

What really worried him was King Qin's way.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang matched the second child with Deng Yu, and with the relationship between the two of them, there should be no big problem in Shaanxi. But as soon as Deng Yu died, Mu Ying was still young, and he couldn't suppress Lan Yu's domineering general at all.

Whether the second child can reconcile the contradictions between the two is related to whether he can establish his prestige in the Shaanxi border army and become their recognized commander.

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang has no score at all. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "In this way, let's let Wang Bi go over and serve as the deputy general of Zhengxi with Lan Yu." He was the pioneer of King Kaiping back then, and Lan Yu was most convinced of him. ”

"Then will he join forces with Lan Yu to deal with Brother Wen Ying?" The third asked with some concern.

"Not anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the sixth child who wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "He is already the sixth child of our family, as long as the second child treats him well, he will not be embarrassed by Lan Yu." ”

"The sixth took down the Marquis of Dingyuan?" The third child was pleasantly surprised.

"My father laughed, no matter what my people are, they are all my father's people." The sixth hurriedly smiled and said:

"Dingyuan Marquis Zhongjun is generally patriotic, and he has not been in the same stream in Jiangxi, which is enough to show that he is up to the task...... But father, the son wants to invite the Marquis of Dingyuan to Suzhou, you send someone to Shaanxi, then who will repair the palace for the son? ”

"You are just fooling around, everyone is the father-in-law who goes to repair the palace, you let Wang Bi go to repair the palace for you, uh......" Zhu Yuanzhang said and looked the sixth child up and down: "You won't take a fancy to other people's daughters, right?" ”

"That can't be." Without waiting for the sixth child to speak, the fourth child immediately said: "He has already drunk with my father-in-law and made an appointment with my sister-in-law." ”

"Ah......" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused: "Sixth, you also want to be Tiande's son-in-law?" Then what about your master's side......"

"Dad, I digress." Rao is sixth man is thick-skinned like a city wall, and he was also panicked for a while. "Don't forget to agree to your son's conditions."

"What did we promise you?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked amnesiac and almost broke the defense of the sixth child.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about personal matters today." Fortunately, the crown prince stood up and said: "It doesn't matter if the father sends the Marquis Dingyuan to Xi'an, let him leave his family in Beijing, and the sixth child will have no opinion." ”

The sixth man thumped his chest and pointed at the prince.

'Big brother, you know my ......'

"Okay, for the sake of the sixth child's face, let's agree." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed quite simply. Because according to the regulations, the generals of the border army are not allowed to bring their families.

~~

Zhu Yuanzhang also instructed the second and third children, such as to be sympathetic to the people's power and the people's feelings, before letting the second child leave.

Then he said to the third child: "Jinyiwei will be of great use this year, you are not in Beijing, it is always inconvenient." After you go back, you will hand over all the affairs of Jinyiwei to the fourth child. ”

"Father, didn't you say let the sixth child take over my class?" The third child is reluctant to make a wedding dress for the fourth.

"The sixth has another errand this year." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "On Jinyiwei's side, he can continue to be the deputy of the fourth child, so that it will not involve much energy from him, and he can also help the fourth child with advice." ”

"Alas, Erchen understands." The third child has a weak response, just like the feeling that the cabbage raised by himself has been arched by a pig.

"If it weren't for my father's order, who would rarely pick up your mess." The fourth muttered from the side.

"Before leaving Beijing, you hurry up and make a clear handover with the fourth child, time waits for no one, we will use them soon." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice again and commanded.

"Yes, Father!" Only then did the third child become serious.

"Go ahead." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly, and after the third child went out, he ordered the fourth child: "After you take over the Jinyi Guard, you will start as soon as possible, and try to send eyeliner to all the ministers and civil and military families above the fourth grade——"

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what method you use, you have to give us a grasp of who they have met, what they have said, and what words they have written!" Don't be mistaken, do you understand?! ”

"Got it!" The fourth replied loudly.

"Sixth, don't stay out of the matter, time is tight and the task is heavy. Relying on the fourth child alone, he will definitely not be able to keep busy. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the sixth brother again: "You also help your fourth brother." ”

"Yes......" Lao Liu smiled bitterly in his heart and responded.

If he could, he really didn't want to take on this errand. There are many ways to gather information, but the method of sending it to all the ministers' offices is unprecedented.

Even Wu Zetian back then never thought of indiscriminately 'human flesh surveillance' on all ministers......

If this is exposed, it will be the public enemy of the Manchu civil and military.

The crown prince was also stunned, because of this, his father did not get angry with him. After a little hesitation, he still spoke: "Father, think twice, as soon as this case is opened, my Ming officials will completely endanger themselves, and the road is clear." ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "It's better than them being bold and colluding, and in the end they all lost their heads." ”

"Father, the emperor ......" the prince was speechless. This is far from his ideal of enlightened politics. Even if it is only an expedient measure, it is too far beyond the boundary.

"We've already decided on this, you don't have to say more." Zhu Yuanzhang rarely didn't give the prince face, and raised his voice and said:

"Don't you understand what happened in Jiangxi? At the moment, this group of officials is rotten and cannot expect anything from their self-consciousness. If only fear can make them understand the rules, then we will give them the greatest fear, which is what they brought on themselves! ”
