Chapter 948 Waking up

7days ago Historical fiction 7
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu and others arrived at Zhongtunwei (Jinzhou) in Guangning.

Not long after he arrived at the place, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, walked into the yard. After seeing Zhu Gaoxu, he reported: The emperor, Cao Yi, the commander of the Liaodong capital, came to Zhongtun Guard.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu showed an unexpected look on his face.

Before the northern tour, the court issued a report and prohibited officials from leaving the city to greet them without authorization.

The commander of the Liaodong capital actually left the capital for more than 400 miles and ran over, which was indeed unusual.

However, at this time, Zhang Sheng's voice said again: He came in a cloth clothes with him with a seal.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Take him in.

Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said: I will accept the order.

After a while, Cao Yi first kowtowed outside the door, and then came in to give a big gift.

I saw the visitor wearing a bloated gray cloth, snowflakes on his clothes, a big hat, and his temples were gray, looking at least fifty years old.

This image doesn't look like a senior member of the Liaodong region, but rather like a down-and-out literati.

Cao Yi said long live, and said: I have not tied up myself, but I came to apologize for carrying the thorns.

Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and asked: What crime did the envoy Cao have?

Cao Yi looked sideways slightly and glanced at the commander of the Jinyiwei. There was no outsider in the room.He thought about it and began to narrate: A few years ago, the generals in Daning City were engaged in business and doing business with the Urianha people.I thought that the Urianha people belonged to the Ming Dynasty, so I did not stop them. I was confused and attracted the filial piety of all the generals.It was not until the emperor went to Peking Prefecture to give a lecture that the generals were forbidden from being involved in this matter that the criminals suddenly realized.

However, the criminals were incompetent and were strictly ordered by He Hao and other generals to follow the saint's will, but they still could not be banned.He Hao and others deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates and pretended to stop trade with the Urian Ha people, but privately condoned the salt merchants to handle the transaction and took the lead.The minister had no choice but to dare to meet him and asked the emperor to surrender his crime.

Cao Yi spoke clearly and spoke smoothly, so he must have thought about it earlier.He shut up after he said that, and still kneeled on the ground.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised and felt that the incident happened suddenly.No matter how he calculated, he didn't expect that Cao Yi would suddenly appear in the Central Tun Guard of Guangning and take the initiative to come here to surrender.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little caught off guard and stood there, observing Cao Yi while trying to figure out the situation as soon as possible.

Cao Yi was lying on the brick floor. Of course, he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, so he could only look at the floor tiles with his head buried.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the rough spot and saw Cao Yi's expression was very solemn and seemed to be very scared, but Cao Yi did not look panicked at all.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had an intuition that this person should have thought carefully and made a decisive choice.

Zhu Gaoxu had just arrived at Zhongtunwei, Guangning. After being exhausted and relaxed after a long trip, he fell into a tense atmosphere without any reservation.

The room was very quiet. Zhu Gaoxu neither let Cao Yi get up nor responded, and he was silent for a long time.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu finally grasped a key: what he originally meant, the generals smuggled and made money, and the old things were forgotten, after all, the court had never taken much care of it before.

But after taking charge, those generals who faced Zhu Gaoxu's new policy would inevitably be punished; otherwise, the newly established rules would not be counted at all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately determined that Cao Yi was an official who could be forgiven.After all, whether Cao Yi collects money or instigates his subordinates to smuggle, it is all the past.

Get up and say it.When Zhu Gaoxu thought of this, he immediately expressed his opinion.

Cao Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and kowtowed again: I thank you for your kindness.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the chair and sat down.Cao Yi took a few steps and stood respectfully in front of him.

Those transactions you originally did could only benefit a few generals and officials. The soldiers with the largest number of people would not benefit, which would be detrimental to the morale of the army.There are many garrisons on the nine sides, but you are only able to get rich, but not every place has a chance, so it is difficult to be fair.It is still necessary to let the court coordinate and reward it so that everything can convince the public.Zhu Gaoxu casually said something.

Cao Yi bowed and said: The emperor has taught him the truth.My ministers are deeply grateful to the emperor and are on the throne, but because they were confused before, they could not share their worries for the emperor and do their best for the court.After waking up this time, I was extremely ashamed.The emperor punished the criminals severely, and the criminals had no complaints.

Envoy Cao is indeed no better than those who are jealous of money.Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.

The emperor is kind to you, and I should have done my best.Cao Yi sighed with his hands down.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, looked heart-to-heart, and said: However, you may not be able to stay in Liaodong anymore.

Cao Yi said: I am a crime of death and dare not beg for mercy.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: I don’t mean that.As the chief of the Liaodong Capital, you come to expose your generals; He Hao and the military generals involved in this matter will definitely be punished.What will the remaining civil and military officials in Liaodong view you? Can you still believe in the envoy Cao?You should be hard to be an official now.

I feel ashamed of my kindness and have the desire to die and cannot take care of other things.Cao Yi said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I have thought of a solution.Nuergandusi is far away from the north, which is really a bitter and cold place, but it is just because it is far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty and is far away from the troubles.In this situation, it is still beneficial to stay for a few years.

Cao Yi's loose face naturally showed a little touch. What kind of virtue is the minister? How can he be so kind to the emperor?

Zhu Gaoxu said: You are loyal to me, and I will treat you sincerely.

Cao Yi bowed again and said, "The Lord is the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord are the Lord and the

alright.Zhu Gaoxu said, would you rather go to Nuer to work in Dusi?

Cao Yi said: I am willing to thank the emperor for not killing me, and I also thank the emperor for making arrangements for me.

Zhu Gaoxu also breathed a long sigh of relief, slapped the armrest of the chair with one hand, thinking to himself: Zhang Xin has been in the bitter and cold place of Nuer for several years. This time he seemed quite sensible. He didn't hear anyone impeached him for anything bad. He also maintained the operation of Nuer Gandusi and delivered many wooden boats to the court every year.

Now is the time to fulfill your promise and transfer Zhang Xin to the south.

The biggest mistake in Zhang Xin's career was to make enemies with Qi Tai, the Minister of War.

But he was a hero in the Battle of Jingnan, and he surrendered at the weakest stage of King Yàn, just like Mu Sheng's role in the Battle of Crime; if the Jingnan Battle of Jingnan failed, Zhu Di's whole family would have to finish it, and what else is Zhu Gaoxu now?

So Zhu Gaoxu can still distinguish between grievances.

Zhu Gaoxu said: In the future, the envoy Cao went to Nuer to serve as a ministry, and he was an official there, and he worked hard.If the opportunity is right in a few years, I will transfer you back.

Yes, I will definitely live up to the cultivation of the emperor.Cao Yi hurriedly said.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said sincerely and seriously: If you do this, I will ask the court to go to Daning to investigate and deal with relevant people, and all of them will be severely punished according to the law.But it would be useless for He Hao and others to bite them randomly, and it would be useless for them to talk nonsense. The envoy Cao could not get involved in the file.

Of course, once this case is reported, everyone will believe that the envoy Cao has a share.At this time, I issued an order to transfer you to the bitter and cold land of Nuergandus, and everyone understood that they could roughly accept the result of such exile.

He paused and said earnestly: But envoy Cao, don’t think that I am exiling you, do you understand?

Cao Yi kept nodding and said: I understand, I understand.The emperor is thinking about his ministers. How can those who are really exiled be officials, let alone come back.

Zhu Gaoxu patted the handrail again and said: That's it.

After hearing this, Cao Yi bowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness and leave."

It seems that this is a big deal, but Zhu Gaoxu did not discuss it with anyone and made a decision on the spot.It seems that something is wrong, but the emperor is fine.

Cao Yi retreated to the threshold before turning around and going out.After he left, Zhu Gaoxu did not do anything else immediately, but sat on the chair and thought about it again.

This incident happened suddenly, and only after the completion of the matter, Zhu Gaoxu thought of more details.Judging from Cao Yi's performance just now, Cao Yi seemed to be very satisfied with the result and didn't seem to be pretending.

To guess more inside information, Cao Yi may have determined in advance that he is in danger of his life this time, and the situation is serious.So when the emperor promised him that he would just be temporarily dispersed, his heart would naturally fall like a big rock and he would feel joy.

Under such speculation, it was reasonable that Cao Yi took the initiative to apologize and betray his subordinates.After all, if you fall into death, you can only live without any cost and put it to death.

However, why could Cao Yi determine that the situation is serious and that he is in danger of his life?

After all, it seems that things are not that far. Zhu Gaoxu has to make efforts to rectify the border army, which is not something that will be accomplished in a short time.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Cao Yi's judgment and sense of smell were very sharp.Cao Yi was born as a military general, but his skills seemed to be not limited to military affairs. There were only a few military generals who had such a mind.

In any case, after this bad thing, Zhu Gaoxu had a deeper impression of Cao Yi.

Zhu Gaoxu sat for a while, then opened the curtain to get out for breath.

The room is a bit closed, and there is charcoal burning inside, which makes him feel that the oxygen is sparse, and it is not very comfortable after staying for a long time.

He wanted to go out and have some fresh air, but as soon as he walked out of the room, a biting chill came to his face.

The coldest season in Liaodong is indeed even worse than that in Peiping Prefecture.

At this time, the eunuch Cao Fu came out of another door and hurriedly advised: Emperor, it’s too cold outside. Your dragon body is important. Please come inside to drive away the cold.

Zhu Gaoxu asked: Isn’t there a kang in Liaodong?

Cao Fu said: I’m going to say to the emperor, there’s a kang.However, the capital did not need a fire kang. For fear that the emperor would not get used to it, he burned charcoal in the house, which was all smokeless charcoal burned by high-quality firewood.

Zhu Gaoxu said: It’s too boring to change the room with a kang, burning charcoal with the door closed.

Cao Fu hurriedly said: I will obey the order.

There are several months of cold weather in Liaodong a year, and the fire kang can slowly get used to the migrant Ming people.

Liaodong has rich resources such as forests, coal, and even turbulent oil (petroleum), and the land is fertile. Zhu Gaoxu believes that further development is still feasible in this era.
