"After I am a saint, you cannot torture me, you cannot ...... Uh!!h ”

At the entrance of the vegetable market in Qufu County, Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong, Kong Sheng, who was dressed in prison clothes, was stripped naked and tied to a shelf.

Kong Xiucai in the past has now become the meat on the board, and as Master Ling Chi's hand is shaking, his flesh and blood are cut off piece by piece.

Beside the master, the two doctors watched the master's operation numbly, but when the master was tired, they stepped forward to sprinkle the man with gold to stop bleeding and not change the medicine powder to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Rao is like this, this Kong Sheng did not last to 3,000 knives, and only 427 knives were already killed.

The bloody scene made the people around him have no shortage of retchers, and Hu Lun in a restaurant saw Kong Sheng's death, reached out and picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "According to the plan, do it!" ”

"Then in that case, if we don't take the opportunity to rebel, what are we waiting for?"

Time passed slowly, and after a short time, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Forbidden City by car.

Zhang Guifei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and Guo Yan also stepped forward with a smile and said:

"And if I want to say, if Grandpa had passed on the location to you from the beginning, the family wouldn't have been like this."

After Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, he took a laissez-faire attitude towards the Confucian Mansion, and at that time Zhu Di felt that something was wrong, and now it has only been less than a year, and the Confucian Mansion is about to collapse in the Hongxi Dynasty, which can't help but make people feel embarrassed.

In addition, Yang Shanren also said some news about the private business gang...... "Yizha glanced at Zhu Gaoxu vaguely.

"It's a pity that others are cutting the domain, but he wants the lives of you and my father and son."

It's a pity that in the future, because the clan population is too large, I don't pay attention to them.

Zhu Gaoxu said the reason for the wry smile, and he also lost his head when he heard the words: "The young master is a scholar of heaven and man, but after all, he is too cautious. ”

"This merit alone is not inferior to the Xianbei Metropolitan Protector set up by Han Guangwu in the past, and the Hanhai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion set up by Tang Taizong."

However, the development of firearms is not easy, and the metallurgical technology of these countries is not even comparable to the Ming Dynasty in the Hongwu period, let alone the Ming Dynasty in the Hongxi period.

The reason why Daming can sell the export price of the cauldron at a sky-high price is that many countries can't produce such a large pot at all, and they can't produce cast iron pots, so they have to buy it from Daming at a high price.

This is his means of self-preservation, and Zhu Gaoxu also understands it very well, but he always has some regrets that he can't drive Yao Guangxiao.

"Hmm......" Zhu Di stroked his beard, and after a little thought, he gave the answer:

"I dreamed that I was in the main hall, and your grandfather came to me with a knife and brought your uncle to me, and asked me: 'Fourth, how did you do with Yun Wei', I was stumbling for a long time, I couldn't say a word, and I was so scared that I wanted to die......"

"As for the money, just come out of the inner court, and the money and grain of the Daming Palace will not be changed."

Although he leaned over, Zhu Di wanted to look at him, but he still raised his head, and he lost first in terms of momentum.

Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to discuss with Yishiha, but looked out of the car window.

"Okay, although I'm old, but people are not confused, the results of this northern expedition are really not big, my old man admits this, but next time I will definitely achieve results."

Zhu Gaoxu had already anticipated the collision of ideas and reality in the future, so he said that he would accumulate some virtue, hoping that future generations would think of themselves a little better, and not make themselves extinct.

This may sound a little naïve, but that's how people are, the older they get, the more they believe in karma.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a high-sounding voice, but Zhu Di said suspiciously:

"This is not a good phenomenon, tell Yang Zhan about this and ask him to send someone to take a trip."

Zhu Di's tone was a little troubled, Zhu Gaoxu heard this, the smile on his face was still there, and he was not angry because of this sentence.

"Let me let your eldest brother accompany you to tell you that although he didn't encounter many enemies in this northern expedition, he still has some experience."

"Too young, in terms of this performance, Junji is slightly more mature than Zhanji, Zhanji can lead thousands of people, and it will not be a problem to command tens of thousands in time."

Even if they continue to learn in the Ming Dynasty, in terms of folk technology, it is very difficult for them to make an arquebus.

In such a shock, Zhu Di also returned to Beijing with 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 auxiliaries.

"Your military academy is still useful, and now more than seventy percent of the generals in the army are talents who came out of your military academy, which is much better than when I was back."

After Zhu Gaoxu went north, he did not take them from Jiangnan to Beijing, but left them in the Ouning palace of the Ming Xiaoling.

The West has taken a detour in iron smelting for thousands of years, and it was not until the invention of the blast furnace that it understood how to smelt iron, which directly led to the fact that Europeans and Middle Easterners did not know how to stir-fry, because stir-frying requires massive and cheap iron pots.

Zhu Gaoxu mentioned Yao Guangxiao, and Zhu Di shook his head when he heard this:

"Yes!" The three commanders standing behind him saluted.

"As for the statements of those civil officials, it's just that the civil servants don't know the soldiers, and they are wrong......

Seeing Guo Yan and Zhang Guifei appearing together, Zhu Gaoxu knew that they were here for Zhu Zhanqi's affairs.

"Tang Taizong said that the people's hearts are like water, water can carry boats, and it can also overturn boats."

"This northern expedition does cost a little, but the cost is not large, next year I will ask the household department to cut the internal money and grain by 500,000 yuan, so as to reveal it."

Zhu Zhanqi was still relatively obedient, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu say this, even if he was impatient, he could only nod his head.

Because Zhu Di felt that he did not have much success, he specially sent someone to tell Zhu Gaoxu not to prepare any state banquet for him to celebrate his achievements.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be depressed again.

"Not stupid." After getting the news, Zhu Gaoxu chuckled lightly and didn't take it to heart.

Zhu Gaoxu inquired about the situation in Kunlun while dealing with the music.

Zhu Di knew that he couldn't convince Zhu Gaoxu, so he could only remind him to deal with the next turmoil.

As a son of man, when Zhu Di returned from an expedition, Zhu Gaoxu naturally wanted to go to Daming Palace to see him.

Zhu Gaoxu bowed to them: "Take care of your grandfather." ”

"Besides, most of the current students are still mainly based on the New Deal, although they also minor in the Four Books and Five Classics, and classics of history, but who would really die for a person in the books?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "I am already busy with government affairs, and I get together with them less and leave more, if I drive them out of the palace to avoid suspicion, the relationship will definitely be more dull." ”

However, not long after he entered the Wuying Palace, a eunuch on duty stopped Yi Shiha and whispered something beside him.

People are like this, the older they get, the more they crave love.

Therefore, in the many years that Zhu Gaoxu assisted Zhu Di, this old monk barely appeared too much, and he lived as a transparent appearance in the Yongle Dynasty.

"The imperial court is short of money, and money is needed to build railways, dredging the Yellow River, and dredging canals.

Zhu Di's tone is not like acting, because Zhu Gaoxu knows that his acting skills are not so good.

"After drawing the line, what about the conflict in these countries?"

"......" Zhu Gaoxu obviously didn't expect the old man to have such a good memory, so he could only change his words:

"Because I know who my eldest brother is, it's better to strike first than wait for him to do it."

After he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw Guo Yan with Zhang Fengyi and Zhu Zhanqi, who were already concubines, to greet him at the palace gate.

For a time, the two provinces of mountains and rivers and the southern Zhili and Jiangbei regions couldn't help but shake.

"In that case, the minister will retire."

"The affairs of the military academy are not in a hurry, and when your eldest brother comes back, you will know whether the knowledge of middle school is useful if you communicate with him."

"Look at it, my eldest brother forced my twelfth uncle to self-immolate and exterminate the heir, and then look at our grandfather, my uncle's children and grandchildren are still alive and well, isn't the gap in this comparison?"

If Zhu Yunwen knew, he would have to give Zhu Gaoxu a knock.

He has always been wary of Zhu Gaoxu, because in his opinion, Zhu Gaochu is not like Zhu Di, but more like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Zhu Zhanqi is only thirteen years old, he still inherits Zhu Gaoxu's genes, and he is five feet four inches (173 cm) tall, looking about the same as some young people of fifteen or sixteen.

Seeing this, Guo Yan's eyes motioned to Zhu Zhanqi to step forward and explain to himself, and the thirteen-year-old Zhu Zhanqi could only step forward and say:

"Dad, Erchen thinks it's not interesting to study in middle school, and wants to go directly to the military academy in Nanjing."

Under his orders, all the people in the nine clans of Kong Sheng were convicted, and the Confucian Mansion, which was the target of the imperial court, was implicated in the crimes of secretly possessing the official uniforms and seals of the former Yuan, privately carving and slandering the stone carvings of Emperor Taizu Gao, and colluding with Shandong officials to abuse power for personal gain.

"At the moment, things are the same as we expected, the difference is that we have included the Taiping and the Bald Polo in the Yanran Dusi under the command of the imperial court."

Guo Yan did not immediately educate Zhu Zhanqi, but waited until Zhu Gaochu came back, and only followed the education with the help of Zhu Gaoxu.

He poured tea for Zhu Di's empty teacup, and continued to reassure: "The civilian officials don't know the soldiers, besides, you and my father and son have been prepared before the expedition, and it is very likely that Mahamu will flee west in this battle." ”

Looking at his appearance, the corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth were raised, and the sun shone obliquely on his face through the window, illuminating his eyes.

Zhu Biao's children and grandchildren, except for Zhu Xiongying's early death and Zhu Yunwen's self-immolation, the rest of Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Yunxi are all doing well, and even Zhu Yunwen's son Zhu Wenkui is still alive and well.

By the time they studied and understood the technology of cast iron cannons, the Ming Dynasty was probably already steadily advancing towards rifled cannons.

After returning the soldiers and horses, Zhu Di returned to Daming Palace in a huff.

It's just that after being cheerful, he still can't help but sigh:

Regarding Zhu Biao's vein, Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to clean them up at all.

"As for Zhan Yan, the growth is not bad, and it is more than enough to be an official of a thousand households, and you have to look carefully at the future to go further."

"Acting?" Zhu Di's expression was stunned, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief: "Do you think I am acting?" ”

"You can just watch it yourself." Zhu Di responded, and Zhu Gaoxu also saluted when he saw this, and then walked out of the Heart Nourishing Palace.

"Everyone is gone, why should my father continue acting?"

Zhu Di explained the matter of Yao Guangxiao's side, and reminded Zhu Gaochu not to bother him, to which Zhu Gaochu responded with his head bowed, and finally replied: "Arrange to go to Taichang Temple to do things, it is not easy to make mistakes." ”

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxu just chuckled: "Then you have to take care of your health, I'm afraid the next northern expedition will not be so fast." ”

"That's what you say." Zhu Di stroked his beard and was persuaded by Zhu Gaoxu.

He was busy with government affairs and neglected the parent-child relationship, although he rarely brought his majesty to the harem, Zhu Zhanqi and the others were still afraid of themselves, just as the old man was afraid of his grandfather.

"Throughout the ages, many kings and even Li Shimin regarded this people as a different heroic gentry in each era, and now the times have changed, although the main body of the people is still them, but in my place, the people are the people of the world, no matter how high or low."

"It's a pity that Yao Guangxiao can't be used by me, but thinking about his age, it is estimated that it won't take a few years, so I can only smile bitterly."

"When I go down, I will go down with the "General Map of the Four Yi Binfu of the World", and I don't believe that my grandfather can clean me up below when he sees this "General Map of the Four Yi Binfu of the World".

"Sixty ah......" Zhu Di sighed slightly, and Zhu Gaoxu comforted him when he heard this:

"Sixty years old, grandpa has lived to seventy-one, will you lose him?"

Zhu Gaoxu noticed his actions and immediately stopped his pen and waited for him to speak.

Yao Guangxiao is a qualified strategist, but almost all of his advice is for Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty?" Yisha asked curiously, but Zhu Gaoxu touched his mustache.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, if you're really afraid, then when you go down in the future, just say that you were forced to rebel by me."

Zhu Zhanyan felt that his performance was already good, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't look back to educate him.

The progress of iron-smelting technology means that the price of iron products is low, and the low price of iron products is easy to promote, so we can see how a country's iron-smelting technology is from the people's livelihood alone.

"Besides, if you also like to fight, then you should also know that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and you can fight better by managing the place well."

Zhu Gaoxu was about to leave, but before leaving, he thought of something, and couldn't help asking:

"By the way, how about the young master living in Daming Palace?"

"Second brother, have you never had such a nightmare over the years?"

Not long after, he took the two boys to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, but when he saw Wang Yan singing "Your Majesty is coming", the hall suddenly fell to its knees.

Walking through the corridor, Zhu Gaoxu walked forward in a hurry, while Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanji followed closely behind him in mandarin duck jackets.

Soon after he left, Zhu Gaoxu gradually became distracted, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dusk.

Zhu Gaoxu got up and patted the non-existent dust on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "The premise is that you have to take care of your body." ”

"According to Yang Shanren and Xichang, they are a lot more honest after the line is drawn, but small frictions are still continuing."

"It's the middle of October, and in a month and a half, I'll be fifty-nine years old, and I'll be sixty in a flash."

Zhu Di regrets a little that his team is not as good as Zhu Gaoxu, or that he is not as good as Zhu Gaochu who can lead people.

It took hundreds of years for Korea to obtain slightly more advanced iron-smelting technology from the Ming Dynasty, and Japan only obtained more advanced iron-smelting technology from the plundered Korean craftsmen during the Imjin War.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked down on Qufu Confucius, but after they ascended the throne, they all chose to reward Qufu Confucius, because this was one of the means to win over scholars.

In this regard, Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "On the way south, I heard that many people in the court said that my northern expedition was futile, that I was old and no longer ...... before."

Walking into it, Zhu Gaoxu really saw Zhu Di, who was wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket, sitting in the main seat, with a slightly depressed expression.

"Dad, in fact, our results this time are not bad, we have captured more than 2,000 cattle and tens of thousands of sheep, and captured more than 1,000 fleeing ...... of the Ross tribe."

I have to say that the location of Daming Palace is excellent, in the case of the ban on logging in Beizhili and active recruitment, the promotion of low-cost coal, with the continuous restoration of greening in Beizhili, this place is also regarded as a lake and the world of one color, distant birds such as a line of egrets on the sky, and go to the sky above the sky.

When he left, Zhu Gaoxu saw Wang Yan, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji standing at the gate of the palace.

"If this phenomenon is more common, then it is time to change people, so that they can be taught to understand that this is not how the high salaries of the navy in the ocean are taken."

After being released, the two families also had eighteen people, and they were able to hire six female slaves.

Seeing this, he said: "The private business gang has hooked up with the navy, and they often use bribery to ask the navy to help capture some native ......."

"You're afraid of my grandfather, that's why you did this, but I'm not afraid."

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted Yishuha's words, and after conveying his edict, he also continued:

On the other hand, except for Zhang Yu, Meng Shan, and Zhu Neng, who can be called generals, the rest are only Zhang Fu, Meng Ying, Li Yuan, and Li Bin.

The two seem to be about the same number, but the age difference is too great.

No one supported the rebellion in this kind of management method, and Zhu Gaoxu could only say that this group of Jiangnan scholars was really a good and loyal minister of Zhu Yunwen......

As for artillery, it is not a technology that can be mastered by civilians.

Zhu Gaoxu made his head clear about this, and glanced out of the door again: "Your two grandsons, how are you behaving this time?" ”

In any country with strong metallurgical technology, its people will at least use iron pots to make delicious food.

After hearing this, he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yang Shanren of the private gold mining area of Kunlunzhou, North Korea, Japan, and Nanyang countries are developing muskets, you can see ......."

"This move can be regarded as accumulating virtue for my heavenly family......"

Now they also have four families and 27 people, and there is no shortage of food and clothing.

In his opinion, as long as Japan and these countries are not fools, then after seeing the armaments of the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally learn from the Ming Dynasty to develop firearms.

Zhu Gaoxu noticed Zhu Di's mental state from a very early age, so after Empress Xu's death, he often encouraged and praised what he did, so as to satisfy his vanity and make his life more comfortable.

In the past two years, Yan Fu will take the lead and pass away, and only Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu, and Meng Ying can take the lead.

Zhu Gaoxu still cares more about Zhu Di's feelings, and cuts 500,000 yuan, which can be regarded as an apology for not having much success in this northern expedition.

Zhu Di saw that he couldn't deceive Zhu Gaoxu, and immediately began to expose his true thoughts.

On the other hand, except for the neutral Chen Heng, the rest of the Bohai faction are living well.

"The old monk has some hidden diseases, but the doctors you trained are not bad, and the old monk is still healthy."

"He adopted an adopted son named Yao Ji, if you don't lack idlers to eat, you can arrange an errand for him."

"Okay, you go back to your Forbidden City by yourself and stay, you have to attack the Confucian Mansion, and you will be busy next."

"These results are very few compared to your grandfather's previous results."

There are not many officials who were promoted by Zhu Yunwen in history and survived, but after Zhu Qizhen released Wu Shu and Jianshu, many Jiangnan officials and wealthy families who praised Zhu Yunwen didn't care about this group of guys at all, but Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianshen were okay with them.

"You really need to take care of your body." Zhu Di didn't have a good air:

"I read the handwritten book you gave me, what's the matter, are you really ready to kill Confucius?"

Zhu Gaoxu's subordinates walked out of Meng Zhang, Wang Yi, Chen Chang, Xu Sheng, Fu Rang, Yang Zhan, Zhang Chun, and Zheng Jun.

Although countries such as Japan and North Korea are more advanced than the current European iron-smelting technology, it is still too early to try to touch the iron-smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty with the current technology.

"But I remember, before your grandfather died, you kid instigated me to rebel."

"Your northern expedition has not achieved much success, although you will have a little temper, but you will not show your temper on your face." Zhu Gaoxu handed over the tea, and Zhu Di also took it.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhu Di showed a smiling face, and he knew through the temptation that Zhu Gaoxu still supported his northern expedition, and his mood immediately became much more cheerful.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Zhan Yan and them, Wang Yan saw this and hurriedly walked out with the eunuchs, and Zhu Zhan Yan was also pulled out of the Heart Cultivation Hall by Zhu Zhanji.

"You're not afraid?" Zhu Di had an expression of disbelief, but Zhu Gaoxu sat directly on Zhu Di's footstool, leaned on his chair and said:

"I said when my grandfather was alive that if my eldest brother comes well, then I will definitely support him."

In a few words, Zhu Gaochu exalted the results of Zhu Di's northern expedition, although Zhu Di knew that the examples cited by Zhu Gaochu were all fetters and rules, but he was still a little relieved.

If others see it, they must think that Zhu Di is sulking at himself, and he feels that the results of the battle are not obvious, but Zhu Gaoxu knows the old man too well, he is not sulking, but acting for himself.

"Let's all get out."

"Your Majesty, Brother Qi is also old, and it is not convenient to live in the harem all the time, I don't know ......"

After a while, he returned to the carriage from which he came, and he could not help but smile wryly as he sat in the carriage.

As soon as the words fell, he walked out, accompanied by Yishaha.

"Don't think about it so much, have a good rest in the past two years, and wait for the Northeast Railway to open in a few years, you can go on a few expeditions if you want to, Erchen has absolutely nothing to say."

"But at his age, you don't have to bother him."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochu didn't react, Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochu very suspiciously, and Zhu Gaochu chuckled:

"Speaking of your grandfather...... Zhu Di's face showed a little fear:

"On the way back to the south this time, I dreamed of your grandfather for several nights."

Just thinking about him, Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders and walked in, saying as he walked:

"The knowledge in middle school may not seem interesting, but in the future, you will be able to use a lot of it."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang Guifei rarely spoke, but now she actually wants Zhu Zhanqi to go out to live.

After they left, Zhu Gaoxu walked up to Zhu Di and poured tea for him, and said softly:

The family sat down, Zhu Gaoxu was eating at the dinner table, looking up at Zhu Zhanqi from time to time, slightly embarrassed.

"The slave takes the command." He also lost his answer, turned around and went down to handle the matter.

In this way, Zhu Zhanqi can also listen to it.

"There are so many houses in the outer court, is it possible that there are still a few yards for him?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Gaoxu asked Yishaha, who rushed to the palace, to change the Rouyi Hall into the prince's palace, and formulated the corresponding policy that the prince could only leave the palace at the age of 16, and that only after graduating from primary school, middle school, and military school could he become a vassal......
