When Ye Sheng saw that the emperor asked about Yang Hong, he couldn't help the resentment in his heart, accused Yang Hong's words, and blurted out:

"If you don't give up the Dushi Pass and the Maying Pass, why do you get stuck in the civil engineering?"

Ye Sheng's face was angry, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Xuan Mansion immediately and hit Yang Hong with a golden melon.

Ye Sheng couldn't figure out what Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, who had always been famous, was doing this time, and his subordinates would throw down the Dushi Pass, the Maying Pass, the Red Castle, and the Eagle Osprey Castle......

All the fortresses that could be thrown were thrown away, and as soon as they saw the Warat soldiers, they ran away.

There are a lot of fortress passes, and if you say don't want it, you don't want it. What siege capabilities do the Warats have, and I don't know what you're running.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and turned to Yao Xian again: "Yao Aiqing, what do you say?" ”

Yao Xian was even more bold, and even dared to speak out about suppressing Buddhism, and he was naturally unscrupulous about Shanxi's military. Seeing the emperor's questioning, he replied without thinking about it:

"The military department is in Shangshu, once hung the title of the right attendant of the military department, and has been patrolling Shanxi for nearly 19 years.

In Weichen's opinion, whoever has been governor of a province for nearly 20 years should know everything about it. ”

"Oops, hey!"

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily and shook his head vigorously. After a while, he patted Yao Xian's shoulder cordially: "Okay, Aiqing, what you said is very good, very good." From now on, you will stay with me and be responsible for giving me advice. The year after tomorrow, our Jingtai Dynasty will take the first palace exam, you will take the Jinshi exam, and I will arrange for you to enter the Hanlin Academy.

I want to revise a book of "The Unification Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty", which records in detail the geography, customs, culture and other things of our Ming Dynasty. This includes all vassal states, and I want to include all of Kyushu.

Then add "Jingtai Record", everyone here has a share, and all of them serve as compilers.

I also want to learn from Emperor Taizong and revise a few masterpieces, and when the time comes, our monarchs and ministers will go down in history together and be remembered for eternity. ”

Everyone didn't know how the emperor remembered this again, so they had to thank the emperor for his trust.

Zhu Qiyu said to Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong again: "I know that you two are quite military, and I will let you go out to lead the troops in a few years." If you have made military achievements, I will give you the same knighthood. ”

Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong hurriedly thanked him.

Although the two are not very close to Xinjun and do not like to express their opinions, Zhu Qiyu did not snub the two too much, they should still make a wish, and they will not let the two of them work for themselves in vain.

"Okay, let's talk about it here. Disperse early today, so you all go home and rest. ”

After sending everyone away, Zhu Qiyu returned to the room and repeated the discussion of the West Flower Hall to his little princess.

After listening carefully, Lin Xiangyu praised it repeatedly: "This Xing'an Hou is really interesting and knowledgeable.

However, the husband is better than the Marquis of Xing'an: the nobles in the capital now, the old and the young, the young and the young, the ones who do not grow up, and the ones who have no interest and no interest cannot afford to pick up the beams.

The military power of the Beijing camp was basically captured in the hands of Yu Shangshu, and the three major battalions were basically in charge of his cronies.

And the husband ordered the Marquis of Xing'an to bring 5,000 elite border troops into Beijing, which was really a stroke of genius, and the situation of the military department's dominance was resolved with ease. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "It's good that Xing'an Hou can appreciate me like you, you said that Xing'an Hou looks at people so accurately, can he be willing to be loyal to us?" ”

"It must be possible, husband, please don't be presumptuous, even the slave family can see the mastery of the husband, and I don't believe that the Marquis of Xing'an will not be able to see it."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, let's rest for a while, and then we will dress up and wait." ”

"Okay."

After a while, the two packed up and went out to the main hall of the front yard. The concubine, Qianxue, and Suxi, with the prince and princess, were already waiting in the main hall.

The concubine smiled and asked Zhu Qiyu, "Son, do you know what to talk about with Xing'an Hou for a while?" ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "The concubine also knows about Xing'anhou?" ”

The concubine smiled: "I know, in the first year of Xuande, the Marquis of Xing'an was still an earl at that time, and he went out to fight Jiaozhi as the right deputy general, but he was defeated in vain and was deprived of his title. ”

"The concubine even knows this?"

"That's right, because in the second year, something more excessive happened in Cochin, and the government and the opposition shook at that time, so I remember it very clearly."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was also interested: "Please talk about it." ”

The concubine sighed: "In the second year of Xuande, the first emperor sent a large army to conquer Jiaozhi. On September 10, Liu Sheng, the commander of the army and the Marquis of Anyuan, was killed in battle. On the same day, the deputy commander, Baoding Bo Liangming, fell ill and died.

The next day, the crown prince Shaobao, who participated in military affairs, and Li Qing, the secretary of the military department, fell ill and died. Immediately afterwards, Cui Ju, the right staff general, was captured and died unyieldingly.

That is, in less than three days, the first, second, third, and fourth people in command of the army were all dead. Then there was a great confusion in the hearts of the army, and the whole army was annihilated.

Because several big people died at once, including the nobles who were most relied on by the emperor, I remember it very clearly. ”

Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to answer, the concubine continued: "And I think there are many similarities between this civil engineering change and the process of that conquest. The most critical reason for the two annihilations of the whole army was the failure of intelligence and the ambush of the army.

So you met the Marquis of Xing'an, and it was right to scold Sanyang, who was in power at the time, with him. Even I, a woman, know that there is definitely something wrong with it.

In one day, the Marquis of An Yuan died in battle, on the same day, Baoding Bo also died of illness, and the next day, the military department Shangshu died of illness, and then the right staff general was captured.

Do you want to be so coincidental? Let's make it a little bit more like a liar. Anyway, you should pretend to make things more or less reasonable.

This is also the reason why I strongly support you to change the princess, these Wenchen, they are really good at playing, dealing with them, if you don't go to the extreme, you can't do it at all.

If you use the original princesses and concubines again, you may die one day. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly twice, speechless.

Fortunately, at this time, the guards came to report that Xing'anhou's carriage had arrived at the corner of the street.

So the main gate of the palace was opened, and Zhu Qiyu led everyone to greet them at the door in person.

When the Xing'an Hou family arrived at the gate of the Qi Palace, they got out of the carriage and were immediately shocked: What kind of battle is this?

The Marquis of Xing'an had just returned to Beijing, and he didn't know the people in front of him, because he had been leading troops abroad for a long time, even if he had seen the emperor, it was many years ago, when the emperor was still very young, and now he has long changed.

Mrs. Xing'an Hou didn't know anyone else, but she knew Concubine Xuanyi. So he was busy reminding Xing'an Hou on the side: "Husband, that is Concubine Xuanyi." ”

Since after receiving the invitation in the afternoon, the family had already briefed the Marquis of Xing'an about the palace.

So after such a reminder from his wife, Xing'an Hou deduced the identities of the rest of the people: "The adult man in the middle, dressed in blue clothes, was held by Concubine Xuanyi and a beautiful woman, one left and one right.

The man that Concubine Xuanyi can hold must naturally be the emperor. And on a formal occasion, the young woman who can hold the emperor is naturally Princess Qi.

Looking at the two girls who look exactly the same next to them, holding two children, a boy and a girl, they are naturally the prince and the princess. And the one holding the child is naturally the emperor's two favorite concubines, Jade Concubine and Xiangfei.

For the main gate of the palace to be wide open, the Marquis of Xing'an can still understand, after all, he is a marquis, and it is reasonable to say that he is particularly gracious. But these standing at the door are really a little scary, even if a prince comes, he can't be guilty of such a stirring up of the people.

Just when the Marquis of Xing'an was stunned, Zhu Qiyu had already brought everyone in the palace to greet him.

The Xing'an Hou family hurriedly wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Zhu Qiyu: "Xing'an Hou doesn't need to be polite, today is a family banquet, let's not talk about these red tapes."

The princess, the prince, the princess, and me, the princesses, you have never seen them, come, let me introduce you. ”

The Marquis of Xing'an, with his wife, his eldest son Xu Xian and his wife, greeted everyone one by one.

Zhu Qiyu took the concubine and the princess and warmly invited the Xing'an Hou family to the Qianyun Xuan in the back garden to feast here.
