Chapter 402 What a great general manager of Chu! [1 more](2/2)
Sit peacefully in the Forbidden City."
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Han Kun, Cheng Xiangwu and others quickly stood up and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty's words are serious. As the saying goes, you can eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. As your Majesty's ministers, I should serve your Majesty."
Looking at Cheng Xiangwu and Han Kun, Zhu Houzhao said with a hint of envy: "I really want to go to the city to fight the Tatars with the soldiers..."
It's a pity that no one in the group can agree to this. If Zhu Houzhao is really allowed to go up the city wall, it won't be an accident. If there is even the slightest accident, how many heads of these people will be chopped off.
Seeing that everyone refused to answer his words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had just ascended the throne, he might have been impulsive and went to the front line in person regardless of the objections of the civil and military ministers.
However, in the past few years, under the influence of Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao's temperament has changed a lot. At least he knows what he should do and what he should not do as the king of a country.
Since you have become the emperor, you must bear some constraints brought by this position. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
"The British Lord wants to see you!"
The voice of the chamberlain came from outside the palace. Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Pass!"
Soon I saw the British Duke slowly walking over with the support of a chamberlain. Just looking at the British Duke's expression, it was obvious that his body was not as good as before.
Otherwise, given the British prince's temperament, as long as he can walk safely by himself, he will definitely not let others help him.
These days, although the battle to defend the city does not require the British Duke to come in person, the British Duke is the commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by the emperor, and after all he has to spend his time on the battle between the two armies.
It can be said that the British Duke has been guarding under the city wall these days, keeping abreast of the offensive and defensive postures of both sides at all times.
Even the bodies of tough men like Han Kun and Cheng Xiangwu can't bear it, let alone the body of a British father who is nearly eighty years old.
Seeing the British Duke's figure that might fall to the ground if a gust of wind blows, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but get up and walk down, walked a few steps forward to the British Duke, stretched out his hand to support the British Duke and said: "Old Duke, it is hard work to share the worries of the country.
Got it!"
The British Duke's face was full of emotion and he said: "I have old bones. If I can serve your Majesty one more time before being buried in the loess, I will die with my eyes in peace!"
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "I will not allow the old Duke to die. I still need the old Duke to continue to support me. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without the old Duke!"
Seeing that the emperor and his ministers were getting along well, Jiao Fang and others had a look of satisfaction on their faces. Zhu Houzhao was becoming more and more like a king, and the ministers were naturally very happy.
After all, if Zhu Houzhao is a promising monarch, then it may not be impossible for the ministers who will assist him in the future to have the same name as Zhu Houzhao and go down in history.
If Zhu Houzhao is said to be a foolish king, then his ministers will probably not have a good reputation in the history books.
When they reach the status of Jiao Fang and others, all they want is fame and fortune.
Zhu Houzhao sat down, glanced at the crowd, and nodded slightly to Gu Dayong beside him, and saw Gu Dayong taking the tray from a waiter. Everyone's eyes fell on the tray, and on it was a
Seal memorial.
Jiao Fang said doubtfully: "Your Majesty, this is..."
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, took the secret letter and looked at the crowd and said: "This is the memorial that Chu Daban sent to me not long ago."
"General Manager!"
"President Chu!"
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, obviously they didn't expect that this was a memorial sent by someone from Chu Yi.
Wang Hua narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that the Chief Manager has completely put down the unrest in Jiangnan?"
More than a month has passed since the rebellion of King Ning. Not long ago, Chu Yi had submitted a memorial. King Ning had been captured and the rebellion in Jiangnan had entered the final stage. At this time, Chu Yi sent someone to submit a memorial.
It’s no wonder Wang Hua thought Jiangnan was pacified.
Zhu Houzhao signaled the chamberlain to circulate the memorial to everyone.
Just over a cup of tea, everyone present read the memorial again, with different expressions on their faces.
When it finally got into the hands of the British Duke Zhang Mao, Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment after seeing the memorial, and then he couldn't help laughing. He laughed and said: "What a Chu Yi, what a great general manager of Chu, he
They want to swallow up all the Tatar troops outside the city!"
