Chapter 145: Cut the mess with a quick knife

The quarrel between Zhu Di and Xu Huizu continued, and it was obviously deviating from the topic.

In a sense, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu are indeed the same people. They both have the same experience, that is, they have been carefully trained and trained by Xu Da since childhood.

People like Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who have been fighting for life, are naturally not good people. Their common characteristic is that they have a strong interest in anything related to murder and war.

This is true for Zhu Di, and Xu Huizu is actually the same.

He has been accustomed to archery and horses since he was young. When he watched his father fight on the battlefield, he was taken to the mountains and forests to hunt tigers and leopards when he was older. He took the army out of the barrier and swept the desert. After that, one of them prepared for war in Peiping, one was training in Henan, one was cavalry to calm the crisis, and the other led the Southern Army to fight to the death. If there is a summary, whether it was Zhu Di or Xu Huizu, most of their lives were grown and tempered in an environment of blood and fire.

If they are now in peace, they will do nothing to do.

However, when the Ministry of Works presented the temple sketch according to the meaning of "Yao Guangxiao", Zhu Di became interested.

That day, Zhu Di was looking at the sketch and was in a daze. Xu Huizu happened to meet him, and then endless quarrel began.

In fact, at the beginning, everyone still maintained restraint and duty. Zhu Di took a pen and changed it, murmured: "There should be a corner tower here. Although such a terrain is a one-man who can pass through ten thousand men, the biggest weakness is that he is afraid of surprise attacks. There is a mountain not far away that can be overlooked here. Although it can be blocked with high walls, it is not afraid of being seen through the virtual and real in the castle. But it is not afraid of ten thousand, but it is afraid of something..."

Xu Huizu couldn't help but interrupt: "Is there a lake here on the east side? A city wall should be built here."

Zhu Di sneered: "There is no need to be troubled like this. It's too much to make a big deal. It's enough to arrange a few more posts."

Xu Huizu said: "What if someone attacked with a ship?"

Zhu Di said confidently: "The lake is full of mountains and forests, where did the boat come from? Even if there is a boat, you can use horizontal locks to block these places, so you can naturally rest assured."

Xu Huizu said: "Your Majesty is good at the horse army, but he doesn't know how powerful this water battle is. The iron lock can block a large ship, but it cannot block a flat-bottomed boat."

So the quarrel began, and the two of them said one by one. This one had to add a corner tower, and that one had to answer a mail tower. In the end, the two of them simply attacked and defended. Zhu Di naturally attacked, and Xu Huizu was not lucky, so he had to defend.

Zhu Di held his chin and said, "If I have three thousand elite soldiers, I can go from the front..."

Xu Huizu said: "Your Majesty won't attack the east side without a ship?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "To deal with such a fortress, we must not miss the opportunity to fight. By the time the ship was launched, the water camps were built, and the pier was built, the morale of the three armies had already reached a low point. Look, when attacking in front is of great danger, it is a big obstacle, but as long as we reach this place... Yes, it's a pity. There are no firearms here, after all, it's going up the mountain. There are so many inconveniences in firearms, and even bows and arrows...there are no bows and arrows. The wind is strong on the high ground, and facing such high walls, you can only use ladders."

Xu Huizu sneered: "The ladder is not good either... the wall is three meters high and the ground is rugged, so it is not enough to be used."

Zhu Di said angrily: "Then follow the Northern Yuan Dynasty and attack directly."

"Your Majesty, you only have three thousand people..."

…………………………

The two sides continued to argue, and finally gradually improved a sketch. Unfortunately, when the two discovered it, they found that the sketch was beyond recognition. The arrow tower, the corner tower, and the city wall that was six or seven meters high. Zhu Di discovered the problem again: "If this is the case, then there is no need to build this temple, and it may not be completed in three years. I want to build a temple, but it is not a wall city. It is really unreasonable."

Xu Huizu said in surprise: "Your Majesty is building a temple? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhu Di was furious and smiled coldly, saying, "This is Mr. Yao's temple, so Mr. Yao's temple will naturally be unique."

Finally, Zhu Di sighed and said, "Living is like a dream, Zheng He, Zheng He..."

Zheng He came out and said, "I am here."

Zhu Di said: "Send this sketch to the Ministry of Works, so that they can do what they can to repair it. I think that place is interesting, so I just think it is my other courtyard. When I have free time, I have to stay there for a few days."

Zheng He said: "Your Majesty, something is strange today."

Zhu Di said lightly: "What's strange?"

Zheng He said: "At this time, the Tongzhengsi should have sent a memorial to the palace, but..."

"But haven't been sent yet, right?" Zhu Di said in a daze: "I understand."

Zheng He retreated, but Zheng He was not wrong. Today is particularly different from usual. The memorial was delivered, but it was 30% more than usual.

Zhu Di had to sit down patiently and prepare to review the memorial.

Xu Huizu was about to say goodbye, but Zhu Di first opened the first memorial, but his face became solemn, and said, "No need to say goodbye, please stay for a while, come and add a chair to Duke Wei and serve tea."

Just now, they were talking about offense and defense. The two were very excited. Although there was friction, they were still quite close. But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Di became extremely unfamiliar again in front of Xu Huizu, because at this time, Zhu Di had a dignity that made people stay away from him, his expression was unstable and his face was solemn.

He opened the memorial books and did not pick up the pen to review them. He just swept them roughly, and his face grew longer and longer.

There are all kinds of people who wrote the letter, including the envoys of the Censorate, officials from various departments, and even officials from Hanlin participated in it.

It is rare for everyone to be united and have the same position. The only target to be criticized is the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Di's face was already gloomy to the limit. Finally, he suddenly threw a memorial in his hand to the ground.

Xu Huizu had to say: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di stood up, ignored him, but instead walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.

He seemed to have something to worry about, his face was gloomy and gloomy. Finally, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "You have heard of someone impeaching the Jinyiwei to resist the order and laying off redundant personnel?"

Xu Huizu hurriedly said, "I know something."

Zhu Di smiled even colder: "All the yamen are laying off redundant staff more or less, but the Jinyiwei actually disobeyed the order for this matter."

Xu Huizu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's not wrong to lay off redundant staff. The treasury is not abundant at the moment. It is indeed necessary to lay off some redundant staff. But when did the Jinyiwei get redundant staff?"

Zhu Di walked around impatiently for a few steps and said sadly: "You, don't understand, but you haven't seen the mystery here clearly. In fact, what is the truth? It's useless to fight, but do you understand why the Jinyiwei wants to disobey? Think about it again, who proposed to lay off redundant personnel? The commander of the Jinyiwei has a close relationship with the King of Han, but the prince is responsible for the redundant personnel. Do you understand? What I don't want to see the most finally happened. Brothers fight against each other and fight against each other in the same room. This is what I don't want to see the most, but it happened in the end. The Jinyiwei's purpose is the prince, the king of Han behind, and now countless memorials are impeached, the purpose is the king of Han, and the prince behind them. Both sides have put in full force and have already seen the dagger."

Zhu Di's face was full of sorrow, and he sat on the imperial chair weakly, and then continued: "At first, I was still thinking about it, hoping to use the King of Han to check and balance the prince, ha... I thought I was self-righteous at the time, but now I think I am stupid, and now I am suffering from the consequences. I only have these three sons, how can I bear to see them kill each other?"

Xu Huizu frowned. In a sense, he liked the King of Han and the King of Zhao more, but the three of them were their own nephews. He knew that he could not make his position casually.

Zhu Di said weakly: "You can't wait any longer, you can't wait any longer. You must cut the mess quickly. I have given the Han King too much hope. It is precisely because of my indulgence that he is becoming more and more ungrateful. Of course, it is not his fault at all. The people around him have encouraged him a lot. There is no right or wrong in the matter of the Jinyiwei. Whether it is right or wrong, it is not important to me. Do you know what is important?"

Xu Huizu said: "Your Majesty means that the most important thing is that the three princes can be at peace."

Zhu Di's tone became bigger: "Yes, if we want to be at peace, we must have rules and we must score the monarch and ministers. The crown prince is the crown prince, and the Han king and Zhao king are the ministers. Only in this way can they stop their inappropriate thoughts, and only in this way can the brothers be harmonious."

He picked up a memorial again. The memorial presented by the Right Censor of the Censorate was insinuated, implying that the matter was instigated by the King of Han. Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "If you have no unreasonable thoughts, you will live in peace. Zheng He... Zheng He..."

A little eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zheng has been sending the job for Your Majesty."

Zhu Di regained his calmness and said with majesty: "I sent an order to Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang and others, as well as Ji Gang, by the way, Hao Fenglou, who caused the accident, went to the palace to meet him."

Zhu Di's face clearly had a bit of murderous aura, and he added: "A few days ago, a memorial to impeach Qiu Fu and Wang Ning, Ji Gang, was also dug out. It was the one who impeached them and indulged their slaves and acted inappropriately, hurry up!"

The little eunuch had a cold war and did not dare to neglect it. He walked away in a hurry.

Xu Huizu said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Hao Fenglou is also involved?"

"What?" Zhu Di said lightly: "Do you want to plead for him?"

Xu Huizu said: "Although Hao Fenglou has a close relationship with King Zhao, he has never heard of him and King Han..."

Zhu Di said lightly: "Don't worry, I still want to use him, but this time, it is essential to hit it well."
