Jin Zhong's face was very rosy and his voice was loud. He was really unrivaled when he roared, so he had a strong aura of dominance in the court recently.

This was Li Ermao's first time entering the palace and meeting the emperor for the first time, so he was a little nervous.

"...You only see the money and food consumed to attack Myanmar, but you can't see that after conquering Myanmar, those chieftains have lost their retreat. If they dare to plunder the people and attack the cities, that is the benefit of seeking death! It's not enough to describe you as short-sighted, they are all idiots!"

Li Ermao was waiting for the summons outside the hall. When he heard the roar, he couldn't help but look up inside.

"Down, don't be rude!"

An eunuch beside him shouted in a low voice, and Li Ermao hurriedly bowed his head, curious about who dared to roar in the Ganqing Palace.

Not long after, the roar inside stopped, and a eunuch came out and said, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your etiquette!"

The eunuch stared at Li Ermao coldly, even with a little disgust.

Li Ermao was a little worried. He didn't know the etiquette of the audience. The eunuch just now told me several times along the way, and said, "If you weren't here to report the victory, you would have to go home and practice for at least two days before coming."

When he entered the hall without looking sideways, he bowed and someone said, "You are Li Ermao?"

Li Ermao was shocked and quickly responded: "It's my minister."

When Zhu Gaochi saw him nervous, he slowed down his tone and asked, "What's going on in Myanmar?"

Li Ermao said: "Your Majesty, Myanmar has been stable, and a few traitors have fled into the jungle, but Lord Fang has given a bounty, so the Burmese people are enthusiastically searching for them, and they think they will have to end up being destroyed."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and the big stone in his heart fell.

He was originally worried that Myanmar would become the former Jiaozhi, and there were constant troubles, but now it is a battle, which is a good omen.

Jin Zhong's face was rosy and asked, "You are Li Ermao? Then have you gone to Jinling?"

Li Ermao thought that this was to pursue his crime of going to Jinling privately, and he was even more worried that he would be considered to meet Zhu Zhanji first. He hurriedly said, "Xiaguan envied the prosperity of Jinling at that time, so he went to the city to stay for a day."

Jin Zhong was stunned, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile. The ministers were smiling, but they were different.

The local bun! He is still timid!

Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "What did Xing and Bo say?"

The emperor's words made Li Ermao feel relieved. He said, "Xing and Bo talked about the chieftain."

"oh!"

Zhu Gaochi was more interested in this, so he signaled Li Ermao to continue.

There were many chieftains in remote areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, especially in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. The chieftains did not accept Wang Hua and acted on their own. They often had some small conflicts, forcing the Ming Dynasty to station troops in those places.

Li Ermao gradually stabilized his mind and said, "Your Majesty, Xing He Bo said it would be best to slowly plan and gradually replace the leaders of the chieftains."

Zhu Gaochi's body leaned forward slightly and said warmly: "Did Xing and Bo have no memorial?"

This is a diligent emperor, and he is very clear about the division between the primary and secondary.

Li Ermao lowered his eyes and said, "No. Your Majesty, Xing He Bo said... The Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and those chieftains did not accept the king's transformation, and some attacked without authorization, so they naturally had to be punished. Some had no children after death... These could be cancelled and replaced by officials. After a few term, they would naturally be able to control the natives. At that time, whether to go down the mountain to farm, or to break up and move to various places, they could reduce resistance."

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and said to Jian Yi: "What do the Ministry of Revenue think?"

Most of the so-called chieftains are in the mountains and fields. Those natives are fierce and difficult to manage, so they go there to be officials... they really have to think twice!

Jian Yi invited the bones some time ago, but was rejected by Zhu Gaochi, so he looked a little silent recently.

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea. You just need to carefully select officials, otherwise the wrong selection will make a mistake."

This is the old man's conspiracy and even Li Ermao admires it.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and said, "Try it, you have to try it, otherwise those chieftains will trick the natives sooner or later cause a big trouble."

Jian Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay to try it first. If there is any inappropriateness, it's better to change it then."

"There's nothing wrong."

This loud voice was heard by Li Ermao outside the hall. He glanced at him and saw an old man.

Jin Zhong said: "Your Majesty, I think I should do this matter quickly, otherwise I will forget it after a few years."

This implicitly mocks the court officials for their lazy governance, but everyone was criticized by him and no one responded.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "I will remember this."

The emperor personally promised that this face was given great, so Jin Zhong calmed down.

Li Ermao saw the smell of gunpowder hidden in the court. He remembered the fact that the treasure ship was stopped and said, "Your Majesty, when Awa was just captured, Siam sent an envoy, but Lord Fang said he had no right to make decisions and let the envoy enter the capital..."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked, "Is there any news about the Siam messenger?"

Lu Zhen had been observing Li Ermao and said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, no."

No matter how Lu Zhen is, no one questioned his memory. He said no, that must be no.

Zhu Gaochi's expression was as usual and said, "If you don't come, don't come, just be at peace."

This sentence is flexible, especially the last sentence is peaceful. If you want to do something in the future, you only need an excuse.

When Li Ermao left, he quickly observed the expressions of the ministers.

Yang Rong was calm, Yang Shiqi frowned, Jin Youzi's mouth raised slightly, and he noticed his observation and smiled slightly at him.

As for others, most of them have expressionless faces.

This is the so-called ministerial system?

With this question in mind, Li Ermao left the palace and went directly to Fangjiazhuang.

...

"Master's wife."

Zhang Shuhui met Li Ermao in the front hall. Seeing him being so dark, she couldn't help but say, "You have been here for a long time and have come back to see you, and I believe you have gained a lot."

Li Ermao knew that he was shady, so he quickly took out a letter.

"Master's wife, this is the letter from the mountain leader."

Madam Deng took the letter and handed it to Zhang Shuhui. Zhang Shuhui smiled and said, "Go home quickly, your mother must be looking forward to it."

...

Li Ermao arrived at home all the way, but saw that his mother had been waiting outside the door, so he quickly walked over and knelt down.

"Mom, the baby is back."

Returning from a long journey, kneeling down to worship your parents is part of filial piety.

"Get up and let my mother see."

Zhou helped his son up, and when he saw his black face, he couldn't help but choke and said, "Ermao, how much sin have you suffered!"

Li Ermao smiled and said, "Mom, the sun is strong over there, it's sunny."

After the two entered the room, Li Ermao saw that the dishes he liked were already placed on the table, and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, how did you know I'm back today?"

While laying the bowls and chopsticks, Zhou said, "Five days ago, my wife asked someone to come to tell me that you were going home soon. Today, my wife asked someone to say that you have arrived, and my mother has time to arrange food..."

There is a kind of trivial nagging in this world called mother's nagging. I am annoyed when I hear too much, but when I can't hear it every once in a while, I will feel lost and miss you.

Li Ermao remembered that Fang Xing asked him to bring a letter, but he sent someone back to report it privately. He couldn't help but feel warm, and then he was overwhelmed by his mother's enthusiasm.

"Ermao, you eat this pork rib, it's just bought by my mother, it's fresh."

"Ermao, try this braised chicken. This is what my mother learned from the chef in the academy..."

“…”

After eating, Li Ermao couldn't even walk. He drank a cup of tea and then went to write a letter.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was asking the imperial doctor.

"How is Jin Zhong's health? Is there any progress?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Jin's body is over, his vitality is extremely deficient, but he said that he had leaked the secrets of heaven and was jealous of God... I have repeatedly rectified it, but it is difficult to change."

"That's right!"
