The next day, it was cloudy, snowy and cold.
It was a rare moment for the old man to show sympathy to his ministers, and the royal family's listening to the government was just a formality. Afterwards, the minister, the commander-in-chief of the fifth army, the inspector-general of Dali Temple and other chief officials held a small court meeting in Fengtian Hall.
Thick curtains blocked the cold wind outside, and a strong fire dragon burned in the hall. In the corner of the hall, several pots of blooming cyclamen added a touch of spring color to the solemn hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting on the dragon chair, and next to the imperial seat is the seat desk of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi. The former is still wearing numb coarse clothes, and his hair is casually tied with a wooden hairpin. Zhu Yunxi is wearing an apricot yellow and five-clawed golden dragon robe.
Wear a black gauze crown.
"The New Year is coming soon!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed in the main hall, "All ministries, localities, and armies are celebrating the New Year in a down-to-earth manner. But the subjects and people can relax, and you ministers, what is important is still important, and you cannot relax!"
"I obey the order!" the ministers bowed and replied.
"I know you have also been busy for a year. It's not that we are harsh, nor that we are unkind!" Zhu Yuanzhang moved his body and leaned casually on the armrest of the dragon chair. "You are all ministers of the country when you are in charge of your own affairs.
If you want to be a good person, you will have to endure hardships. Just enjoying happiness without working is not enough."
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi again and said, "Dasun, do you think what I said is right?"
"As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. The ministers naturally understand the emperor's painstaking efforts!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Yesterday, my grandson read the Ministry of Household's balance report for this year. The salt water of the two rivers and the grain and cloth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich. My grandson thought, ministers
They’ve been working hard for a year, why don’t you give them something as a reward?”
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministers and smiled and said, "The officials in the capital are poor, the prices in the capital are high, and everyone is a big family. Why not, the emperor would give them a favor and reward them with double salaries at the end of the year. With this favor, they
Work harder, right?"
The old man smiled and said to himself, "Prodigal!"
Remember https://m in one second.
There are thousands of people in Beijing and above. With such a reward, almost ten to twenty thousand pieces of cloth will go out.
But he also agreed with this proposal. He was a mean emperor, and he never wanted his grandson to be like that. A good king should be like a good king. He didn't care what the history books wrote about him, but think about what future history books would say about his grandson.
A benevolent and virtuous monarch can raise his beard with a smile.
"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I will do as you say, Mr. Fu from the Ministry of Household Affairs. You, the Ministry of Household Affairs, will take care of this matter!"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Although the double salary is not much, for the ministers, it is the best reward after a busy year, and everyone is beaming with joy.
"Don't thank us, thank your grandson!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "He is better than us. We know how to order people, and he sympathizes with your hard work!"
The ministers bowed again and said, "I will thank His Highness Taisun for your kindness!"
Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, smiled and said, "I have read all the history books, but I have never seen such a wise and holy prince. Your Highness, the Emperor Taisun, is not only concerned about the country and the people, but also can sympathize with the difficulties of the ministers. Minister, etc.
I am so lucky to be born as a minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "He is still young, don't say such compliments again in the future!"
"I am not praising you, but I am speaking from the bottom of my heart!" Zhan Hui said with a smile.
"You are an ordinary person in official matters, but what we value and like is your loyalty and respect!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
This was already such an incredible compliment that Zhan Hui was so happy that his teeth almost flew out of his head. After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers thought to themselves that flattering the emperor would easily lead to being kicked, and they would still have to flatter the emperor's grandson in the future.
"My lord, I have this memorial!" Xu Huizu, the commander-in-chief of the army, came out and said.
"Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Xu Huizu glanced at Zhu Yunxi inadvertently and said, "In recent years, during the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, most of the people who made meritorious service were border generals, but in the capital, many young and talented people were unable to lead the army due to their seniority."
"I request your Majesty to dispatch young generals to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and select meritorious sons who love martial arts to take up posts at the border."
As he spoke, Xu Huizu raised his head and said, "A warrior can only become talented through experience!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "That's right, battles are fought out." As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and asked, "Grandson, what do you think?"
"My grandson is absolutely right what Xu Aiqing said!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "What you learn on paper is always shallow. In the capital, it's just talk on paper. Only when you go to the border and fight can you become a real general. Our Ming Dynasty, in the future
There are still many battles to be fought, and we cannot always rely on veterans."
"We agree!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Look back, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will report to the emperor's grandson. You will assist the grandson in selecting talents!"
"My lord, take the order!"
"Grandson, thank you, Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi also stood up and said.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the people selected by the Emperor Taisun would definitely be his people. This step would definitely greatly increase His Highness the Emperor's power in the army.
The emperor's grandson already had the support of the Chang family and Lan Yu's faction, and the respect of the Huaixi veterans. Now coupled with the loyalty of the young military generals, the emperor's position was as secure as Mount Tai.
At this time, Liang Guogong Lan Yu suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Sun, I have this report!"
Everyone was a little surprised. General Lan rarely spoke when he was in the court.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Let's talk about it!"
"My lord, this summer we fought a battle with the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the Great Wall, but failed to eradicate it. There are already many barbarians in the northwest. According to reports from the border guards, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have the tendency to unite with Tibet."
"I ask for orders to go out in spring. Spring is when the Hu people are in decline. It is better to fight in spring than to harass our Ming Dynasty when autumn is high and their horses are fat. I am willing to bring ten thousand soldiers and horses from the capital camp to gather at the border guards to total one hundred thousand soldiers.
, go out to wipe out the remnants of Beiyuan!"
"You shouldn't say this at this time!"
Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart. Lan Yu's military vision was very good. Now that the Ming Dynasty had the military advantage, it was time to beat the Bei Yuan in the northwest and completely eliminate the threat to the northwest.
But first of all, sending troops should be carefully considered, and the decision should be made only after the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief has discussed with the emperor. Secondly, you, Lan Yu, have asked for orders to go out personally, which is inappropriate.
It is not necessary for you, Lan Yu, to go to such a battle in person. The Ming Dynasty has so many meritorious generals, and they are not just decorations. Moreover, after the war this summer, his official position and rewards have not been revealed yet, and the old man has always been concerned about it.
Besides, the old man had already denied it once. Now he brought it up again, and he still raised it in the court meeting.
"Do you, Lan Yu, really have a low emotional intelligence, or do you want to give the old man eye drops?" Zhu Yunxi secretly hated him.
"Let's discuss sending troops again!" Sure enough, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, "I know you are loyal to the country, but wars have their own priorities and priorities. In the northwest, Beiyuan will not dare to come again within a few years.
Finally, the state treasury has some balance, and the people can support it for a few years!"
"Your Majesty, the lost fighter plane will never come back..."
"Huh?" Lan Yu was about to say anything more, but the old man snorted in a long tone and glanced over. Lan Yu immediately shrank her neck, not daring to say anything more.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi said, "Lanyu!"
"I'm here!"
"You have to understand Grandpa Huang's good intentions!" Zhu Yunxi said, "What you are looking at is the safety of one place. Grandpa Huang sees the whole world, the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty. I also read the battle report in the northwest, a group of bereaved dogs
, it won’t make any difference. It just so happens that young generals will be selected to go to the border for training. Let them fight this battle."
"Choose a steady veteran general to sit in the northwest, supplemented by young generals, and the frontier army takes the initiative to attack. Why use the Beijing camp again! To fight a war, the country spends tens of millions of money. Last year, Lianghuai Salt Water collected 12 million, military pay, money and food
It only cost 9.4 million."
"The northwest is important, and the north is also important! The King of Yan had a good news a few days ago, but at the end he also needs money. The military expenditure in Liaodong is more than three million yuan a year."
"I know that you are eager to make contributions, and that you are also doing it for the good of the country. But you have to eat one bite at a time, so why are you anxious?"
Zhu Yunxi said displeasedly, "The barbarians are not picking up the slack in the spring, but the spring plowing at the border guard station cannot be delayed. If the spring plowing is delayed, the country will have to allocate money and grain. Each transfer is worth millions. Grandpa Huang and Gu can make money."
Come?"
Lan Yu's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak.
"It's still the great grandson who understands our painstaking efforts!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "You guys only know how to kill people and fight, but you don't know anything about people's livelihood!"
"My lord, Meng Lang is here!" Lan Yu apologized, "I just listen to whatever the emperor says!"
Although he was asking for forgiveness, looking at his appearance, I am afraid he was not convinced, otherwise he would not have finished the second part of his sentence.
"Not only do you not understand anything about people's livelihood, you don't even understand the ways of the world. Have you ever remembered how much we have tolerated you for so many years and how much we have talked about you?" The old man's face suddenly became ugly, "It turns out that today
I don’t want to offend you, and I want to tell you later, but you..."
Saying that, there was a snap.
A memorial fell at Lan Yu's feet.
When he was stunned, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang sneer and said, "See for yourself!"
Lan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she first glanced at Zhu Yunxi. After confirming that the other party gave her a gentle look, she felt slightly reassured.
However, as soon as I opened the memorial, my heart suddenly started beating wildly.
"Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, impeaches Duke Liang. Lan Yu, the great general who commands all the troops in the world, is domineering and unruly, disrespects the Holy One, and slanders the Holy Orders in the army..."
