It was another sunny morning, and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui stood in the yard, waiting for the door to open.

Outside the courtyard, Zhu Di's personal soldiers were ready. The agile northern man was holding sesame cakes and fried dough sticks in his mouth, either checking the saddle or combing the hair of the war horse.

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open.

After a night of sleep, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, strided out of the house with his head held high.

"Dad!" Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui stepped forward at the same time.

"Dad!" Zhu Gaosui said, holding Zhu Di's hand, "You are leaving so quickly? How many more days will you stay?"

"It's time to fight, there's a lot of things!" Zhu Di smiled.

"My son can't bear to leave you!"

Zhu Di stood up, looked at his son Zhu Gaosui, and smiled, "Then, are you so reluctant to leave you, go back with me?"

Zhu Gaoshui was stunned and smiled, "Son should be with his elder brother!"

Zhu Di patted the other party on the shoulder and looked at Zhu Gaochi again, "Did you remember what you told me?"

"I remember everything my son!" Zhu Gaochi said with politeness.

"Okay!" Zhu Di didn't say anything nonsense, walked out of the courtyard, took the reins from his personal soldiers, and turned over the horse directly. He didn't say much, "Go!"

The four hooves of the war horse flew away and ran away directly.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui stood there, their eyes following.

"Prince!" Zhu Di's personal soldier captain Huo Li Huozhen looked back and rode his horse beside Zhu Di and whispered, "It's not that urgent, why don't you stay for a few more days? It's rare that you see the old man and the third master..."

"Do you know why I don't like Yingtian Mansion?"

The sudden question made Huo Li really stunned. He was a honest Mongolian, but he didn't know what this said meant.

"This city!" Zhu Di looked at the scene around him and sighed, "It's so comfortable! It's so affectionate! It's so beautiful and so human, so human, how can a real man be born in the world? How can he be intoxicated by this!"

As he said that, he clamped his legs and said, "Go! Come back to Peking with me!"

"Driving!" A group of knights rode their horses and ran wildly.

Behind him, Zhu Gaochi shouted, "Son, I wish my father a victory and success!"

~~

Zhu Gaochi stood there and watched Zhu Di's figure gradually disappear.

He sighed, put his hands in his sleeves, and kept shaking his head.

"I don't know when my father will be able to come back after winning this time!" Zhu Gaosui sighed, "Oh, I haven't said anything to my father yet!"

"You're just remembering now, what did you do last night?" Zhu Gaochi glanced at him, "Clean the horse and the horse's back!"

"I want to say, you pulled me and didn't let me sleep with my father. You said that my father was tired, so let my father have a good sleep!" Zhu Gaosui curled his lips.

"You, you always make sense!" Zhu Gaochi snorted, "In one sentence, you can wait for eight hundred sentences. Can't you say it just now?"

"I...."

"Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you early in the morning!" Zhu Gaochi shook his sleeves and turned around. As soon as he turned around, he saw a team of Jinyiwei coming to the opposite side.

"But Your Highness, Prince of Yan?" The Jinyiwei, who led the leadership, dismounted and saluted.

"That's right!" Zhu Gaochi nodded reservedly, "You are looking for my father, the father has just left..."

"You are sent to the palace by order!" said the Jinyiwei.

"I? Just pass it on to me?" Zhu Gaochi thought, "What's the matter?"

"The emperor ordered the prince of Yan to attend the imperial meeting!" said the Jinyiwei.

"I understand!" Zhu Gaochi nodded and said to the concierge, "Prepare the car!"

Soon, Zhu Gaochi got on the carriage and walked away with the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Gaosui looked up and looked at the blue sky. He blinked his eyes, "It's boring!" As he said that, his little eyeballs continued to turn, "Where can I play?"

~~

In the Ganqing Palace, the imperial front meeting was underway. Not only were there several civil and military ministers from the Nanshufang gathered together, but also the six ministries in the court.

"I think there is no need to form an alliance with Oirat!"

Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, spoke, "First of all, the Ola is a member of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, not the descendants of Genghis Khan. Why did my emperor Ming condemn his nobles?"

Before the imperial meeting, Zhu Yunyu had just met the envoy of the Ola tribe. Now it was the Ola who begged for the Ming Dynasty, so it was not in a hurry to form an alliance or enthronement, but it was the Ola who was in a hurry anyway.

There are two purposes for summoning the ministers, one is the attitude towards the Oirat, and the other is the logistics of this trip to the frontier.

Ren Hengtai continued, "The Oirat tribe has a disobedient heart, and my Ming Dynasty is happy to see it succeed. Sudden support will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The border has just been stable in recent years. If our Ming Dynasty supports the Oirat, after the Northern Yuan Dynasty quells the rebellion, it will definitely disturb the border and be in trouble!"

"So, I think that I will let them fight in my own nest, and the Ming Dynasty will wait and see what changes will happen!"

"I'm going to discuss it!" After careful consideration of the Nanshu Counselor Hou Yong, he spoke, "The Tartars are all wolf-like ambitions, so they must be wary of Mr. Dongguo's story. How can we know that supporting the Oirat, how can we not raise a tiger? Now the pseudo-khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is incompetent and unruly, and he has no ambition to go south. With his own martial arts, the collapse of various parts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be a foregone conclusion. If the Ming Dynasty is involved in it, it will probably lead to the common hatred of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. We will be counterproductive!"

"Yes, I think it would be better to form an alliance with the Northern Yuan..."

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty's pseudo-khan was addicted to wine and sex, while the Ola was ambitious..."

"You can also use the Oirat as a bargaining chip. If the Beiyuan wants to keep my Ming Dynasty out of the matter, you must also show sincerity..."

The ministers expressed their opinions one after another, and Zhu Yunyu sat on the throne as if he was sinking into water.

At this time, he glimpsed Zhu Gaochi coming in under the guidance of the eunuch.

The ministers' words suddenly stopped, and many people looked at Zhu Gaochi who was coming in in confusion, and even had a faint hostility in their eyes.

After all, this prince of Yan Fan, how could he participate in the government affairs?

"My minister Zhu Gaochi bowed to the emperor!"

"Sit there!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "When you are talking about things outside the border, you have been in Peking for a long time, and your father is going to lead the troops to fight. You can also discuss it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Gaochi stood up, and a guard next to him brought a stool.

He looked around and sat down quietly behind Duke Xu Huizu of Wei State, next to Duke Cao State Li Jinglong.

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot be planned!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "He and I are life-and-death enemies. Even if we agree today, we will not offend our Ming border, how can we know in the future?"

"Although the Ola was unruly, he had asked for it at this time. I agreed with the strategy of the King of Yan, and used it to plan and also used swords and weapons. The King of Yan led his troops out of the frontier and swept the Khanate of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

"The enemy will not be afraid if they are hurt! Peace is not achieved by seeking knife. The internal struggle of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be twice the result with half the effort for us, the Ming Dynasty."

"This move is for our Ming Dynasty northern border and to maintain peace forever!"

Zhu Yunxiu said something and directly identified the matter.

Most ministers don’t want to fight, and they know that what they say makes sense. But if it makes sense, it does not mean it is beneficial to the country. Governing the country does not depend on reason. The enemy will never reason with you.

"What the emperor said is very much!" Zhang Ju, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, spoke slowly, "I have some insights when I was an official in Yunnan. It is impossible to deal with barbarians without fighting." As he said, he paused, "But, although the war in Yunnan has just settled, you have to send me another million military expenses." As he said, he smiled bitterly, "There are so many food and grass. I am really a good cook who can't cook without rice!"

"Don't cry with me!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Isn't the military expenditure prepared for the Yunnan war in the end not very useful? It happened to be used for this Northern Xinjiang!" As he said, he sighed, "It's a small amount of money now. If the Northern Yuan Dynasty regained its momentum, it wouldn't be a spending money!"

Suddenly, just as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting behind Xu Huizu, spoke, "I have something to say!"

"Tell me!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

"I think the Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot be eliminated forever within three or five years, let alone 30 or 50 years!" Zhu Gaochi said, "Besides, our dynasty is far away from the northern border, and we cannot know the enemy situation as soon as possible, and it is beyond the reach of the whip!"

"I'm afraid that after thirty or fifty years, the country will be able to fight and turn to attack and defend. Moreover, when fighting in our country, the wealth of Jiangnan has always supported the northern land. The northern land will become poorer the more we fight!"

"Besides, since the Liao and Jin dynasties, the north and the south have been separated by hundreds of years..."

Zhu Gaochi had already made a big splash if he didn't make a sound, and his words made the ministers stunned.

Because what he said, if you think about it carefully, it hits the nail on the head.

"In your opinion?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

In Zhu Yunxi's encouraging eyes, Zhu Gaochi stared at the eyes of his ministers, saying nothing shockingly. "If you want the empire to be in a long-term state of peace and stability, there is only one way."
