Chapter 643 Compromise

7days ago Historical fiction 7
All the people who came to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace to discuss matters were officials of the court, military generals were several dukes, and civil officials were ministers.

Zhu Gaoxu mentioned that he wanted to command the emperor to personally conquer Mongolia.

He immediately heard the unanimous admonition from civil and military officials.

First, Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, requested: The priest who has tens of thousands of vehicles should not take risks in person.During the Hongwu period, the old minister followed Emperor Taizong to the north many times and was familiar with the northern land. Now he volunteered to capture the Northern Yuan Dynasty with only 100,000 horse troops (the Mongolian tribes have already left the Great Yuan Kingdom and refer to the Tatars)!

The person who opposed the personal expedition was Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue. Xia Yuanji said: If the emperor commands the imperial guards personally, there will be hundreds of thousands of people accompanying him.Hundreds of thousands of people traveled north for a long journey, which was a huge expense and was not worth the loss!The treasury is empty and unsustainable.

Xia Yuanji cried poor all day long, and it seemed that during the Yongle period, he made Emperor Taizong angry several times.

Zhu Gaoxu never hit Xia Yuanji, and he just let him say it and just ignored it; so Xia Yuanji became more and more excessive and had to object to every time he spent money!

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said: Xiabutang is the Minister of Revenue, and we must find a way to enrich the treasury.

At this time, Ru Hui, the Minister of Works, said: I have served in the Ministry of War for many years and have some simple opinions. Please report to the emperor.

Please give me a lecture at Rubutang.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said.

Ru Ying said: There are several difficulties in my expedition to the north. I think it is: I can’t find it or catch up; if the fighter’s opportunity is not at the time, I may not win.

In addition, the official army was not familiar with the north terrain and could only march along the established roads to avoid the lack of water source; it greatly restricted the range of activities of the army.Because they were not familiar with the terrain and did not dare to go deep into the deep, they used large troops to fight, which consumed huge amounts of food and grass; therefore, they could not last long and could only fight quickly.

Ru Wei paused for a moment and continued: During the Hongwu period, the official army was in the fishing sea.There were still a large number of concubines and officials in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and they could not escape even if they were too big. The Ming Dynasty's official army captured nearly 100,000 people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty!However, the troops under the command of Ben Yali, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, have removed the bureaucracy of the Yuan Dynasty; the Ming Dynasty's official army is even more difficult to capture its main force.

Qi Tai, Minister of War, stepped forward and said: In the late dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty, rebels rose everywhere in China, but the Yuan court could not control it.So whoever proclaims king in the rebel army will attack whoever is.Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had achieved civil and military achievements and slowly became king, and finally unified the world, perhaps because the rebels could not check and balance and coexist.The emperor’s clarification!

The most favorable situation for the Mongolian tribes in this period is that the tribes cannot be unified; they can make them govern themselves and attack each other, so that the court can divide and govern them.

The Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty declined, and the existence of the Khan's name could not unify Mongolia, which was conducive to checking and balancing the tribes.I believe that if the Ming Dynasty simply used the Northern Yuan Khan as its opponent, it might not be the best strategy; after the Khan was defeated, the Mongolian tribes might gradually become one by one by one by one!It was even more difficult to deal with at that time!

It makes sense.Zhu Gaoxu nodded, but Mongolia has plagued our north from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, burning, killing, and robbing all kinds of evil!Benjali refused to submit to his ruthless attitude.If I do not command the army and punish him for his crimes, how can the country's prestige remain?

He looked serious and said: Therefore, I have decided to mobilize infantry chariots from the northern garrisons and order the vassal kings to mobilize the escort troops to enrich their troops, and then mobilize cavalry from the Beijing camp.After gathering the army, our army set out this autumn, counter-defense and attacking the Northern Yuan Dynasty.It can not only respond to the unjust actions of the Northern Yuan tribes and harassing the border last year, but also stop the possible harm of disturbing the border this year!

After Zhu Gaoxu said this, the civil servants did not object!

Several Shangshu are experienced and are all old fried dough sticks.In Zhu Gaoxu's words, they seemed to immediately grasp the key points: Issuing orders for the kings to dispatch the guards!

During the Yongle period, Emperor Taizong first dispatched troops and generals through the battle to expedition Annan Kingdom, greatly weakening the military power of the southern kings; Emperor Taizong originally wanted to conquer Mongolia and then transfer the troops of the northern kings, but he was poisoned to death without success!

Now that Zhu Gaoxu continues to do what Emperor Taizong does, can the ministers not understand?

The reduction of the vassal states is consistent with the interests of the civil and military officials of the court.Now that the emperor is alone, he slowly starts doing that tricky thing. The ministers save a lot of risks and are certainly willing to compromise!

The big fight for the personal expedition to Mongolia was just fierce, but suddenly, most people seemed to have reached an agreement.Even Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not object at this time.

Qi Tai took the lead and bowed: The emperor is wise!The ministers quickly agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately patted the imperial case: That's it!

After the discussion, everyone took their leave one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu left Qi Duke Qiu Fu alone.

The crowd, led by the eunuch Wang Gui, walked out of the East Warm Pavilion.When Qi Tai walked to the partition, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Qiu Fu who was still standing inside.

After everyone went out one after another, Zhu Gaoxu said: There is a stool next to you, Duke Qi is sitting on it.

Qiu Fu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: I am the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to take a photo of the memorial on the imperial desk and said directly: I have seen the memorial of Duke Qi.I agree with the establishment of the Nuer Gandusi; although Zhang Xin was a serious crime, he made contributions at the beginning of the "Jingnan". I also remember it.I will follow Duke Qi’s advice to let Zhang Xin be the commander of Nuer Gandu.

Qiu Fu hurriedly said: The wise man is kind and kind!

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: I haven't finished speaking yet.The two years ago, the "deposed crown prince" was called emperor and blamed me for all the crimes. All the civil and military officials in the court kept silent; only Duke Qi spoke for justice.

I cannot forget the loyalty of Duke Qi; and you are mature and steadfast and have prestige among the heroes of Jingnan. Therefore, I must have you stay in the capital so that the ministers who stay in the country will cause less trouble.

He changed his breath and continued: I decided to make a decision to make a contribution this year, not mainly to achieve success.Duke Qi has a seniority and is already a Duke, so don’t compete for that little military merit; being an official in the court is also a service for the country.how?

Qiu Fu was silent for a moment, then stood up and clasped his fists and said: The emperor said, I must receive the order!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I discussed with you, it is not considered an imperial edict. Is Duke Qi sincere?

Qiu Fu said: I am in the same heart as the emperor!

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: OK, then our monarch and ministers will make up for it and we will discuss it another day.

Qiu Fu kowtowed and thanked him and left the East Nuan Pavilion.

Then Zhu Gaoxu sent eunuchs to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and summoned Zhang Xin to meet alone.

The two talked about Nuer Gandusi's idea, and Zhu Gaoxu also asked Zhang Xin to understand: the person who exempted Zhang Xin from his death sentence was not Qiu Fu, but Zhu Gaoxu!

Moreover, Zhang Xin’s future will not depend on who will speak for him, but whether he will be a good official in Nuer’s position…

By the way, do you still remember the singing girl whom the Queen of Longping and Shangshu of Qi during the Hongwu period?Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked.

Zhang Xin's face turned red with embarrassment. His embarrassment, perhaps, was not because he felt disgusted with what he did, but because the occasion was wrong?After all, this room is usually a place for state affairs.

Zhu Gaoxu also knew Zhang Xin's special habit. When he persuaded him to surrender in Peking, the place he met was at the home of a private prostitute.

Zhang Xin said: I have been saying to the emperor for a long time, but I probably still remember it when I have been with that woman for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and did not continue to ask Zhang Xin how he tortured someone to death.

Anyway, Zhang Xin should not be a good person in his private life; however, people who do big things sometimes cannot ask for perfection.

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui came into the house.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately greeted Wang Gui and said: Find someone in the palace who can draw, accompany Longping Hou and draw a portrait.

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said: I obey the order.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhang Xin again: Does Longping Hou know who to draw?

Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment, as if he had guessed something. He suddenly knelt down and choked and said: I understand! The emperor loves the poor ministers, but the poor ministers can only repay the emperor's kindness in a heart-wrenching way!

Forget it, get up.Zhu Gaoxu said, there are too many grievances in the court now; since everyone is gathered together to jointly govern the Ming country, let go of old grievances.Besides, when I was in Peking, I advised you to join the palace of the Yàn, and I said that I would help you handle your grudges with the Secretary of Qi.I have always been a trustworthy person.

Zhang Xin hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Gui took Zhang Xin and left Dongnuan Pavilion; it took a long time before Wang Gui returned.

Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on a chair, rubbing his right palm repeatedly on his forehead, thinking about something.

After a while, Wang Gui stepped forward and said carefully: According to the emperor's will, the painter has found it... As peace is getting worse today, the emperor doesn't have to work too hard. I see it in my eyes and hurt in my heart!

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, looked at Wang Gui, and said casually: In life, there must be troubles.Don’t bother with this or that, it depends on what you are more willing to endure.

Wang Gui thought seriously for a while, and then said softly: Master, there is one more thing. Chen Xu, who came from Yunnan, entered Beijing this morning and walked into Jinchuan Gate.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: Chen Xu paid for me to fight. She is a businessman and she cannot let her invest in vain. You go and tell Chen Xu, let her settle down and come to the palace. I will give her a wife and then posthumously give her a husband to posthumously.

Yes, I will do it immediately.Wang Guidao.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Wang Gui and felt that he looked strange, so he couldn't help but explain: When I saw her, I also wanted to talk to her about the important matters.Some things cannot be done by civil servants or nobles, but they really have businessmen.Don't think too much.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: I dare not!

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand distractedly.

He hadn't seen Chen Xu for a long time. Now that he heard that she had entered Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu felt an unconcealable joy in his heart.

Although my days in Yunnan were not so smooth, they also left many memories, which belonged only to that identity and that situation.
