Chapter 250: Wind and Cloud (6)

"This..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak.

"If you are the King of Yan!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at him, "What do you do? Should you be able to support the Oirat, win over other troops, and then enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. Or should you resolutely gather troops and join the war directly?"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, "Well... If it is me, it is the first one. Let's wait and see what happens and form an alliance with him."

This is the safest way to support Oirat as a thorn in the side of the Northern Yuan tribes, and then the Ming Dynasty can obtain the greatest profit at the lowest cost.

But.....

"What your father thinks must be completely different from yours!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything and smiled honestly.

"This is the difference between you and your father. You think about being safe, but your father, King Yan, thinks once and for all!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu paused and smiled, "I guess, your father should be on the way to Beijing now, and the troops in Peking have already been prepared!"

Zhu Gaochi was shocked and quickly stood up and said, "I naturally don't dare to do this big thing..."

"If you miss the opportunity, you will not be able to see me again. Your father came to Beijing to see me, and he wanted to explain to me why he did this! Go to Beijing, go back, and then send troops immediately!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted the other party with a smile, "The Ola fights head-on with the Northern Yuan troops. Your father's surprise attack, use the Ola troops as bait to surround and annihilate the Northern Yuan troops."

"Damn it, how did he know?"

Zhu Gaochi had a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and he was shocked.

"If the fight is not smooth, use the Ola tribe as cannon fodder. If the fight is smooth, turn around and eat the Ola." Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "Is it?"

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked again, "The others have not arrived yet, but I already know his intentions. Do you think your father's plan for the Beiyuan period will be successful?"

"I dare not speak nonsense!" Zhu Gaochi stood up and said.

"Sit!" Zhu Yunxiu pressed his hands and sighed and laughed, "This is the difference between you and your father! This is also the difference between you and him!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and looked surprised.

"Do you think that only alliances and enthrones and then divisions are the most time-saving and labor-saving?" Zhu Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"I am also a temporary view!"

"Actually, you are right to think so. If the Ming Dynasty also participated in the civil strife of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and directly used troops, it would not only easily cause groups of troops from various departments of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to resist, but also cost countless."

"But, you didn't see the other side!" Zhu Yunxiu said, and his slender fingers hit the table again.

Seeing that he was only half of it, Zhu Gaochi said with a tactful supporter, "I am stupid and my eyes are not as good as the emperor!"

"You are already very good!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and then said seriously, "You didn't see that now is the weakest time of Beiyuan!"

"In a few years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated by fishing, and the destruction of more than 100,000 soldiers outside the frontier were destroyed, which was already severely damaged!" Zhu Yunxiu whispered, "Elebke was incompetent and unrighteous, and all tribes were disunited. Moreover, under the years of attacks on our Ming Dynasty, the grassland tribes continued to shrink northward. The tribes suffered heavy casualties and were already tired of war. The way of animal husbandry and economy was even more messy."

"The Beiyuan is the weakest Beiyuan now. Your father's idea is very simple. He should take his life while he is sick! Your father is to take his life, and what you want is to leave a breath for him!"

"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will grow again! You should understand this principle!"

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi felt a little competitive and said with some dissatisfaction, "The grass will never be eliminated. I think it is better to use it to plan than to use it with troops. Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in ruins, the civil strife of various departments would only become weaker and weaker. It is best to reap profits in the Ming Dynasty, and using troops is a major event. If the war is not going well..."

"You are less courageous than your father!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted the other party with a smile.

"My name..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment.

What Zhu Gaochi thought could not be wrong, and it was even the most correct way, but he never thought about one thing, that is, only the dead enemy is the best enemy.

Maybe it was exactly what he thought, so later the Ming Dynasty's active attack on the outside turned into passive defense, and even his grandson, the second generation of the Ming Dynasty War God, directly allowed the Mongolians to catch the grassland and eat leek flowers and get the meat hand-held.

Conservatism is a common problem in the entire empire, not just Zhu Gaochi.

"Where is your father now?" Zhu Yunxi asked casually.

"he....?"

"Don't hide it, I just said that when this letter arrived, your father must have been on the way. He came to Beijing this time to tell me the interests and ask me to allow him to send troops. With his character, it is impossible for him to wait in Beijing."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, "My father said he was quick to whip, and I thought he should have arrived in Shandong at this time."

"Well! That's soon!" Zhu Yunxiu put the letter into the drawer of the imperial case.

Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up, "If the emperor has nothing to do, I will first..."

"What's the hurry?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I saw that it was time to eat, so I stayed with me for a meal!"

~~

The turtlema brought two eunuchs and carried the dining table from outside.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the dishes on the table, his expression full of surprise.

A small pot of rice, a dish of fried bacon with dried radish, a dish of fried fish, and a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup.

"This..." Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, you just use this..."

"It's already very good!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and sat cross-legged on the kang table. "I have always liked to eat these home-cooked meals, but I can't eat them!" As he said, he smiled, "Let's come together!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stood up and pretended to be a meal for Zhu Yun.

"I think you are too sad, yourselves!" Zhu Gaochi thought about it and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the rich man from Jiangnan's family will not bother..."

"You also said that it is a rich man. Ordinary people see meat for the New Year. How can they be bitter when they have fish and meat on my dining table?" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and poured the soup from the dried radish and bacon on the rice, and said, "You and I, the son of Emperor Ming, should not be arrogant and extravagant!"

As he said that, he took a few mouthfuls of rice and continued to smile, "The annual expenses in the palace will be controlled at around 70,000 yuan. The royal family is the example of the world. If you are supported by the people, you should cherish the people's strength."

"Not only do this, but my descendants will do this in the future. Diligence and thrift are good strategies for managing the family and the virtue of governing the country."

"I still remember when the emperor's grandmother was alive, whenever the emperor led officials to worship the sky and ask for rain, the food he ate was prepared by the emperor's grandmother, which was the coarse grain, leaf and vegetable porridge for poor families. I remember one year, because the emperor's grandmother lived in the Temple of Heaven for three days, and the food he ate was coarse grain, leaf and vegetable porridge for three days."

"At that time, the emperor's grandfather was still in his father's name, it was already very good compared to the war season, at least it was food for people to eat!"

"It is not easy to have a great country, but it is even more difficult to do it. I know that you don't really agree with me in your affairs as a vassal king. You think you are making a big deal and say in private that I am mean and ruthless..."

"I realize this!" Zhu Gaochi sweated coldly.

"I didn't say anything, I must have it in my heart!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Have you ever thought about it? The first generation of vassal kings were arrogant and extravagant. What about the future?" As he said that, he picked up a chopstick dish for Zhu Gaochi and put it in the other party's bowl. "I heard that the sixth uncle, King Chu, requires more than seventy kinds of dishes for a meal. That's not food? Is that money? Where did he get the money?"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head violently and stuffed his mouth full.

"Don't take the blame! Don't take the blame!" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "If I follow his words, maybe I will be the knife in his hand in the future when dealing with Uncle Six!"

"It's a good thing for your father to come this time. I have a lot to say to him!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile and said, "By the way, look at me, I forgot that you father and son have not seen each other for a long time!"

As he said, he pondered for a moment, "Flesh and flesh are separated, hey, I miss you two places!"

"What does it mean? Let my father and I go back to Peking?" Zhu Gaochi was shocked.

"You are also a family!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Let's do it. When I see your father, I will tell him to send your wife to the capital and reunite you!"
