Chapter four hundred and seventy-two: father and son turn against each other

After the report was submitted, Hao Fenglou seemed a little impatient. He walked back and forth in the duty room with his hands behind his back. The matters in Datong could not be delayed. It can be expected that Zhu Di, the emperor who had originally planned to slowly draw, would never be able to cook the frogs slowly.

Hao Fenglou must wait for the news and the ruling in the palace.

The matter is really messy now. Zhu Yunwen’s affairs are not decided, and something happened to Datong again. Hao Fenglou had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

Zhou Sili saw Hao Fenglou's concerns and couldn't help but say, "Sir, the recent news reports sent by various places are all strange. In addition, the palace has issued an order to invite the vassal kings to the capital. Next month, I am afraid that many princes will arrive, look at this situation..."

Hao Fenglou shook his head: "This time, it's a storm. Scholars have put in all their efforts. The royal family is not easy to mess with. However, this is Jianwen's problem. What is the end result? That's their business. But there is a big problem with the King of Han."

Zhou Sili's eyes were faint, and suddenly said to Hao Fenglou meaningfully: "If something happens to the King of Han, it will have advantages and disadvantages for the Lord. Although... cough cough... but don't forget that if something happens to the King of Han, Lord Ji will be implicated. At that time, the commander of the Jinyiwei will be in vain to the Lord."

Hao Fenglou paused. He had never thought about this matter. He had some friendship with Ji Gang and Hao Fenglou, but it was hard to explain how much weight this friendship was. Ji Gang was a person who was harmonious outside but was afraid of inside. Hao Fenglou had always been a little careful about him.

If this time, the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei was empty, Hao Fenglou would almost certainly have the opportunity to make a name for himself. But what if Ji Gang is still in power? Ji Gang is very young and very cunning. Although he was convicted of rebellion in history, if Hao Fenglou waited until he "rebelled", when would it be? Ten years or eight years?

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Perhaps... this was indeed an opportunity for him, but... Hao Fenglou couldn't help scolding Zhou Sili and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Can you say these words? The rules of the Jinyiwei were formulated by this official, and one of them was to be united and have the same virtue..."

Zhou Sili hurriedly said, "Students deserve to die."

Hao Fenglou waved his hand and his face calmed down again: "I know you are just unintentional words, so pay attention to it later."

He sat down and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I just don't know what's going on in the palace."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou's report was sent to the palace.

Recently, because it is a troublesome, the Jinyiwei’s memorials are usually not handed over in the memorials. Often, when there is news, the Tongzhengsi Department will send them directly to the warm room.

However, in the warm cabinet, Zhu Di was discussing the matter of the remnant Yuan with the ministers. In order to prepare for the future, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of War, briefly explained the preparations he made. Several other cabinet ministers also spoke freely.

Suddenly, there was a lack of Yang Shiqi here, which always made people feel a little strange, but the people here know how to be content with everything, and they all seemed to be nothing, and they didn't show any abnormality.

"The main disasters this time were mostly the Watstu tribe. This Watstu tribe was a close relative of the royal family during the Yuan Dynasty and enjoyed great treatment. When the Yuan Dynasty was in decline, the Tatars were the strongest at that time. Decades ago, Emperor Taizu used troops to fight against the Tatars. The leader of the Watstu tribes to take advantage of the times and took the opportunity to conquer many tribes and became famous for a while. After that, the Ming Dynasty was in the Jingnan Campaign. The Watstu tribes took the opportunity to attack the Tatars and seize Benyastu tribes. Now, they have a large wings and have 100,000 troops. Many tribes all surrendered to the Watstu. This year, the famine was the most severe. The leader had contacted our Ming Dynasty several months ago, trying to send food and grass, some silk, and the Ming Dynasty was not allowed. The Daming people mostly wanted to take the opportunity to attack."

"Your Majesty, there are omissions in various passes. The Ministry of War has already explained that the guards will be more careful and ordered them to repair some damaged forts and fill in some guards. The front line of Shanhaiguan has also filled in several guards in Shandong to prevent the Datong and Peking. It is as solid as a matter of money, but the area in Jixian, Weichen feels a little worried..."

Xia Yuanji talked happily, and the ministers listened carefully. Even Zhu Di did not interrupt. This kind of thing was his original nature. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle's Minister of War was the most difficult to do. If he was a minister of other departments, he might be able to brag and make a few nonsense. Anyway, the emperor may not understand it. As long as he speaks well, the emperor will not know your weight. But the Minister of War is different. As long as you open your mouth, the emperor will know if there is any goods in your stomach.

However, Zhu Di admired Xia Yuanji because this guy is indeed a talented person, he is very familiar with the affairs of border towns, and is also familiar with the advantages and weaknesses of border towns. As for the rise and fall of each tribe in the desert, he also has a clear understanding of them. Although this guy is talking about war on paper, how many people can talk about the government and the country?

Zhu Di has not made any statement, and listened to the suggestions of all parties, and finally said: "Water, it is inevitable to take action. Once you take action, you will definitely come out in full swing. One hundred thousand cavalry should not be underestimated. Although our Ming Dynasty held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and had the benefits of blockades, its weakness is also very obvious. Hundreds of thousands of people were scattered in dozens of border towns. What the people of the Waser need to do is to attack only one point. If a little mistake is made, the long defense line will be destroyed in a long time. I see that the leader of the Waser Timur, this person is also a hero. This person has experienced hundreds of battles and is definitely not a reckless man. If he comes here in this way, it will be difficult to deal with... We must strictly order the generals of the border town to be careful and be careful. The horns must be formed between the various divisions. Only in this way can these Waser people have nowhere to go."

Zhu Di showed some fatigue and said, "The cabinet will write a decree. If I convey my words, I will add another sentence. Datong Guardians must not attack easily. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy."

When everyone heard the emperor suddenly mention Datong, they were very puzzled. However, Xia Yuanji suddenly understood something and suddenly realized that he must not be negligent about the Washu people. The arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Once he gave up his advantage and sent troops to attack, if he gave Washu people a chance, the consequences would be unimaginable. With the King of Han in Datong, the King of Han was reckless and eager to prove himself and was eager to make contributions. The reason why Your Majesty emphasized this matter was that the commander of Datong was encouraged by the King of Han and sent troops to assist the towns.

Xia Yuanji appeared to be plain, but he couldn't help but look at Zhu Di seriously, thinking in his heart that the emperor has extraordinary points in military affairs. On this battlefield, there are ever-changing changes. What he is concerned about is not just the right time and place. The most important thing is actually the human heart...

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I am tired, please take your leave."

Everyone did not dare to neglect and quickly took action to say goodbye.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

There was no one in the warm pavilion except Zhu Di. Zhu Di pondered for a moment, suddenly his face turned cold and said, "Don't sneak in and talk."

Someone from the outside immediately stepped in and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

The person who came was Zhao Zhong.

Zhu Di frowned: "What, Zhu Yunwen, have you settled?"

Zhao Zhong hurriedly said: "We have settled down."

Zhu Di sighed quietly: "The ministers of mine are nothing unusual today, but I know that they are also paying attention to Zhu Yunwen's affairs in their hearts. The same is true for the civil and military officials in the court. There are also those scholars who have banned their mouths. Some of them want to see my jokes."

Zhao Zhong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is too worried. Who in the world dares to laugh at Your Majesty's joke?"

Zhu Di's case is not criticized or not.

Zhao Zhong cheered up: "When I came, I happened to run into someone from Tongzhengsi, saying that I was going to report to the emperor. I thought that I was going to come to report my life, so I took the memorial and asked the people from Tongzhengsi to go back. I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to His Majesty."

After saying that, Zhao Zhong stepped forward and handed several memorials to the imperial desk.

Zhu Di looked down and couldn't help but say, "The report sent by the Jinyiwei?"

Zhao Zhong laughed dryly: "I don't dare to look at it, your Majesty will know it after seeing it."

Zhu Di became serious and picked up the memorial and glanced at it quickly. His expression did not change. At least in Zhao Zhong's opinion, the emperor seemed to be just reviewing the memorials very casually, but... Zhao Zhong seemed to have some illusion. At that moment, a trace of murderous intent seemed to pass through the emperor's eyes.

This murderous intent flashed and soon returned to the calm.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Di put the memorial on his desk, raised his eyes and said word by word: "What if... the King of Han rebelled?"

Zhao Zhong lowered his head and said, "I don't know. Even if I know, I dare not talk nonsense. Your Majesty should ask the ministers for such a thing."
