Chapter 199: Aspects of All Beings (2)
"Don't mention the matter of building the Great Wall in the future. I will say one last word, don't mention it to me."
Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and said seriously, "The country raises millions of soldiers, why do you still need the Great Wall to do?"
Seeing that his tone was stern, the ministers did not dare to speak out.
Zhu Yunqiu had long rejected the issue of building the Great Wall. But he didn't know what these civil servants were doing. They mentioned it as soon as the year approached. They also made all kinds of budgets in advance, and said it was as if the Great Wall would not be built, and the border would be uneasy next year.
In fact, Zhu Yunyu understands what they think.
The year is underway, can't the treasury be spent on money? They are unwilling to ask for military expenses in war, but they should be able to squeeze out money like the Great Wall.
From the center to the place, everyone stares at this piece of fat. There is a saying that when the sound of excavation sounds, there are millions of taels of gold.
"How much budget has the Ministry of Revenue made?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "You said you had no money in Yunnan a few days ago, but now you have money?"
"I didn't make a budget!" Zhang Feng said, "I also objected to the Great Wall."
Zhu Yunqi understood this. He didn't want to practice it, but someone took him to the imperial court to talk about it.
"The budget for building the Great Wall every year will be used to build bridges and roads to control the Yellow River flood!" Zhu Yunxiu's voice was softer, "These things can be used by the people, and this is what is taken from the people and used by the people."
"I will obey the order!"
At this moment, noisy steps suddenly came from outside.
Zhu Yunxiu looked out the window and saw Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Guo Ying, and others coming to Qianqing Palace anxiously.
~
"Emperor!" Wuding Hou Guo Ying looked sad.
"What happened?" Zhu Yunxiu's heart skipped a beat, "But the war in Yunnan is not going well?"
"Great victory!" Guo Ying whispered, "The Duke of Qian won a great victory, wiped out the chieftain's rebels, and ate more than 20,000 Burmese soldiers and horses. The leader of the bandit was captured and was about to be sent to the capital. He thought that the battle that had lasted a year or two was to be pacified!"
"Then..." Suddenly, Zhu Yunyu guessed it.
"Lan Yu..." Guo Ying suddenly burst into tears, "I'm dead in battle!"
Buzz! Zhu Yunxiu's head buzzed.
Zhu Gaochi next to him quickly supported him, "Emperor!"
"I'm fine!" Zhu Yunxiu pushed the other party away and slowly leaned against the throne, "Where is the military newspaper, I'll take a look!"
The military newspaper was written by Mu Chun, and the list of meritorious personnel during the battle, the number of prisoners killed, and the detailed process of Lan Yu's death.
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhu Yunyu was still so sad that he couldn't extricate himself.
Looking at the military newspaper, my mind was full of Lan Yu's appearance before.
"San Master, with us here, no one can bully you!"
"Third Master, even if Lan Yu's head falls off, she will protect you!"
In my memory, the first time he met Lan Yu was on the day Zhu Biao died. He brought a group of martial officials to surround Zhu Yunxiu.
"I got up early today and saw a meteor falling in the sky. At first I thought it was just a natural celestial phenomenon, but now I understand that it was Lan Yu who went there!" Zhu Yunxiu spoke in a low voice.
"The general died in hundreds of battles, and Lan Yu was considered dead. He died with a man's arrogance, which is far better than those who survived."
"Transfer my will, Lan Yu has made contributions to the country, but his flaws do not cover up his merits. He posthumously named Duke Bao, entered the temple of meritorious officials to build a temple of meritorious officials, and was granted the title of Taimiao."
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu wiped his red eyes, "Please send his body back! As for his posthumous title... Wuwei!"
"Let Lan Yu's son Lan Chun come to the palace to see me!"
"Lan Yu died in battle, where is my second child?"
Zhu Gaochi next to him said in his heart, his eyes tilted slightly, and fell on the battle report on the table.
Suddenly, his whole body trembled.
The last line of the military newspaper read, "The Prince of Gaoyang contacted Lan Yu's old subordinates for more than 5,000 people, but did not obey the orders and privately attacked the Burmese city-state, burned three cities, and all the people they received were killed..."
~~
In the open space next to the Imperial Garden, the old man ordered people to pour a piece of ice out.
Liu Jin was wearing a thick leather robe and warm ears, and was happily whipping the top with Xiao Fuer and the old man's twenty-six sons.
The old man sat in the warm pavilion next to him, squinting his eyes and taking a nap.
Zhu Yunqi walked slowly and sat gently next to the old man.
However, the old man opened his eyes and glanced at him, "Is there something wrong!" As he said that, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat upright, "What? Is it because I lost my horse? Who angered you?" Then, he sighed, "You are just too soft-hearted. Those officials are all paid by our family. If you mess with you, you will just cut them off. Why are you angry with them? Suspending is not good for your health..."
"Grandpa Emperor, Lan Yu is in Yunnan and died in battle!" Zhu Yunxiu whispered.
"Ah!" The old man was stunned and slowly lay down again, "Diet to fight?"
Then, the two of them were silent and neither of them spoke.
"It's better to die. People like Lan Xiaoer would rather die than die of illness!" The old man sighed, "In comparison, he looks more like a man than us!"
"He told his grandson more than once that he did not want to die of illness. This time he had been farewell before going to Yunnan!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Grandpa, what happened in the past..."
"A single write-off, you are the emperor, you don't have to ask him what kind of gifts you want to give him!" The old man was a little lonely, and then suddenly laughed, "Lan Xiaoer, I'm also holding my breath in my heart, and I'm angry with us..."
"Grandpa Emperor, Lan Yu has something to say... He said he never thought of rebelling against you!" Zhu Yunsheng spoke.
The old man's face instantly became much more complicated, and he spoke again for a long time, "Forget it, it's all over. In this life, a man can just know his mistake." As he said, he sighed, "A real man died in a wild horse corpse, which is a kind of beautiful talk!"
"There is a shortcoming of beauty, and he died at the hands of the unknown rat!" Zhu Yunsheng sighed.
The old man smiled faintly, "What's the disadvantage of this? It's not much better than dying from illness? We heard that when a lion grows old, it will inevitably die from the hands of wild dogs. Although it's a bit cowardly, isn't a lion a lion?"
"He kills people, and others will kill them. There is no pain in dying in the battle formation. It is the fate of a warrior. Nine out of ten life is unsatisfactory. No one can predestinately be born in a family, nor can he decide which disease to die in."
"He was seeking death and finally died suddenly. This method of death seems to be not a hero, but if Lan Yu finds out, he can't pick anything." As he said that, the old man smiled, "Isn't this better than letting us cut down?"
From time to time, cheerful laughter from Liujin waiting for several children came from the ice.
Zhu Yunxiu had already gotten up and walked away. The old man squinted his eyes again and closed his eyes to rest.
He saw death too much and couldn't sigh.
But I still felt a little strange in my heart, "Lan Xiaoer, you have left before you can do what you promised me? You are so light, haha!"
~~
Outside the palace gate, Lan Chun, the son of Lan Yu, had just gotten off the horse. Before he could wipe away the tears on his face, he saw a man strode towards him.
"Have you met Mr. Cao!"
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, looked Lan Chun up and down as if he wanted to see him.
"Your father is gone, you can talk if you have something to do in the future!" Cao Zhen's voice was hoarse, "As long as I don't die, I will definitely help you!" As he said, he sighed, "There is no more Lan Xiaoer in the world, I am a coward but still alive!"
"My father is asking for kindness and gaining kindness, and Marquis Cao doesn't need to..."
