Suddenly, there was such a rain.
Pattering, very small and thin.
Then, as soon as the petals were wetted, before they were fully watered, they suddenly disappeared.
This feeling is very overwhelming. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but it is over in a blink of an eye.
It was like he had just felt something and was about to close his eyes and enjoy it, but he...
So, amid this feeling of neither being up nor down, Qiuhuhu in the capital became increasingly irritable.

"I have good news just after returning to Beijing!"
In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at the military reports that had been rushed from Annan, 800 miles away, with joy between his brows.
The army marching southward marched forward with overwhelming force.
As expected from the beginning, the Annan Li rebels and puppet dynasty were unpopular. The two armies of the Ming army had just met in Sandai Prefecture.
Annan's three generations of prefectures were magistrates. Modi and others, the magistrate of Nance Prefecture, opened the city gate and led the Annan people under their rule to eat pots and cups of pulp to welcome the king.
At this point, the entire area south of Sanjiang Prefecture in Annan was occupied by the Ming army.
The Ming army and the Annan army were now facing each other across the river. The morale of the Ming army was high while the Annan army was full of panic.

"What a coincidence that this good news comes!"
The ministers in the palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the emperor's happy face.
According to their previous understanding of the Zhu family emperor, the incident in Wuchang, Jiujiang, was not as simple as just killing people.
In the heart of the Zhu family emperor, those who deserve it must die, and those who do not die may not be innocent but lucky. Therefore, there is no way to avoid a storm.
But now, perhaps due to the good news from Annan, the emperor seemed to have no intention of expressing his anger at all.

"It's all Long Live Master who predicts his enemies to be like gods!"
Among the ministers, Li Jinglong, who was dressed in a python robe, laughed and said, "The Annan Li thieves are so stupid that they overestimate their own abilities and will destroy themselves!"
When he said this, others could not sit still, and they all stood up, "I congratulate my emperor, and congratulate me on the great Ming Dynasty!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "The victory in the battle is the credit of the frontline soldiers, what does it have to do with me!" As he said, he looked at the military report in his hand, "It's too early to congratulate you now, the victory has been won and the victory is not done. !”
"What the Emperor said is true!"
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said with a straight face, "Annan's military report, Annan relied on the natural dangers of Thanh Hoa, Xuan Jiang, Fuliang River, and Tuo River in Hanoi to deploy a defense line!"
"The walled city stretches for more than 900 miles, and obstacles are set up in the river to hinder our Ming warships. And I heard that the Li thieves mobilized more than two million people in the north of the Annan River, and they seemed to be determined to defend to the end!"
"This battle has actually just begun!"
Seeing Xu Huizu's serious face, Li Jinglong felt helpless.
"How can you die if I don't throw cold water on you? I feel unhappy when I don't see the emperor? It's finally a good thing, but you have to say the worst?" Li Jinglong thought to himself, "You Xu Huizu, the only civil and military man in the dynasty, has such a bright gaze that no one else can see it? At this time, Let’s coax the emperor first, coax him well!”
He was cursing in his heart while looking up at the emperor's face.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi wiped away the joy just now and his eyes stood up.
"Your Majesty, actually Wei Guogong is a little too old!"
The person who spoke was somewhat unexpected, it was Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War.
"Oh, please tell me in detail!" Zhu Yunxi tapped the table with his slender fingers and said softly.
"Yes!" Ru Yu stood up, "The so-called city wall stretches for more than 900 miles and mobilizes two million soldiers and civilians. From the perspective of a person who does not know how to fight, it is full of loopholes and unlucky tricks!"
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "The longer their defense line is, the more dispersed their troops will be. What the Fourth Prince is best at leading his troops is to make surprise attacks, so that the enemy cannot look at each other from the beginning to the end!"
"So a thousand-mile defense line is equivalent to giving me a thousand-mile breakthrough for the Ming Dynasty! Furthermore, the Li thieves are unpopular to begin with, and they forcibly mobilized more than two million soldiers and civilians."
"Once our elite troops advance in, how much fighting spirit will these people have? They will just turn around and run away, without any fighting spirit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huizu immediately said, "Rubu Tang, this is not how the battle is fought, and this is not how the accounts are settled." As he said, he looked at Zhu Yunxi, "The so-called elite raid has been tried and tested in the plains, but now
The two sides face each other across the river, how can we launch a surprise attack?"
"Annan's idea is to have a stalemate. Once the war lasts for a long time, our Ming Dynasty will inevitably be unable to succeed!"
Before Ru Yu could say anything else, Zhu Yunxi had already spoken, "That's what Duke Wei said!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Send the order to General Zhengnan. I don't want this war to drag on too long!"
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi, who had been sitting silently under the emperor, couldn't help but raise his head in surprise, and quietly observed Zhu Yunxi's profile.
"You went out for a trip, why are you different from before?"
"How hypocritical were you before? How could you issue such a direct decree?"
As the former Crown Prince of Yan and a grandson who grew up in the border town army, Zhu Gaochi knew how to fight.
The emperor's imperial edict does not want the front line to be delayed, so the generals on the front line must do whatever it takes, that is, regardless of the number of casualties, and fight for a quick victory.
And based on his understanding of Zhu Yunxi, even if the former Zhu Yunxi meant this in his heart, he would never say it so straightforwardly.
He looked at Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Yunxi also looked over.
"Hong Xi!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"I'm here!"
"Thank you for your hard work these days! You are sitting in the capital, not only helping me with government affairs, but also strategizing in the rear and organizing frontline military supplies. It is a great achievement!"
"You can just talk about it, but you can't actually give me anything?"
In accordance with his usual practice, Zhu Gaochi first cursed in his heart, and then said with a frightened face, "The emperor has given you too much praise, and it is all a matter of ministerial duty." After saying that, he paused, "During your absence in the capital, government affairs will
I have reported everything to the prince first..."
"Yeah!" Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "I know, I understand!"
What Zhu Gaochi means is that although I help you handle government affairs, Zizi, the person in charge of the country is the prince, and I am just a handyman for the prince.
I don't care whether he can read or understand those memorial documents. Anyway, as long as they involve military and national affairs, I will send them all.
After getting the prince's permission, I started to deal with it, but I didn't get carried away at all!
"It's not just Hong Xi!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministers again, "You have all worked hard these days when I am not here! Although I am not in the capital, I know that all of you are fulfilling your duties!"
As he said that, he turned around and said, "Shame on you bastard!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go to Guanglu Temple and reward each of your beloved ladies with two pieces of Su silk!"
"According to the order!"
~~
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
Even in my heart, I was secretly glad.
The emperor's reward for them should have meant that local affairs would not cause anger in the court.
But some people are born not to be kind to others!
Just when everyone was deliberately avoiding the Jiujiang and Wuchang cases, Li Zhigang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have this report!"
"Oh, tell me!" Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"I have been ordered to establish the General Taxation Department, and the selected officials have been selected!" Li Zhigang's eyebrows drooped, with a coldness in his words, "I have also issued official documents to various provinces many times to establish the Taxation Department on the ground, and from then on
Send officials from the center!"
"But..." The coldness on his face became even more grim, "The chief secretaries in various places are trying to continue to control local tax powers in the name of unclear account books and unpaid autumn taxes!"
As he said that, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, we can't delay any longer. After paying the autumn tax, local officials will inevitably continue to delay in the name of accounts! If you delay for one more day, the local tax revenue will be even more chaotic! It's like
In the Wuchang incident, local officials collected taxes without authorization, damaging the state system, and the court did not get a penny!"
"You're going to die!"
Everyone yelled in their hearts, "I just made the emperor happy, you have to go to Wuchang! Are you going to die?" ωωw..net
"What Aiqing said is true!" Zhu Yunxi tapped the table with his slender fingers again, and said in deep thought, "We can no longer let local and state governments interfere in business and tax matters without delay. Just like Wuchang..."
"Your Majesty!" Bao Zhao stood up in shame, "I beg your pardon!!"
