The next day, it was cloudy, snowy and cold.

The old man was a rare compassionate minister, and the Imperial Gate only left a formality. Then, the six ministries, the five military commanders, the Dali Temple, and other chief officials held a small court meeting in the Fengtian Hall.

The thick curtains blocked the cold wind outside, and there were vigorous fire dragons burning in the hall. In the corner of the hall, several pots of blooming cyclamen came, adding a hint of spring to the solemn hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, next to the imperial seat, and was the seat of the imperial grandson Zhu Yunyu. The former was still wearing a thick linen coat and his hair was casually tied with a wooden hairpin. Zhu Yunyu was apricot yellow, five-clawed golden dragon robe and a black gauze crown.

The New Year is coming soon! Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed in the hall, and all divisions, localities, and troops all celebrate the New Year in a down-to-earth manner. But the subjects and the people can relax. What you and other ministers should be important is still important, and you cannot relax!

I followed the order! The ministers bowed and replied.

I know you have been busy for a year, not that we are harsh, nor that we are not incompetent! Zhu Yuanzhang moved his body and leaned on the armrest of the dragon throne casually to plan his own affairs in his position. You are all ministers of the country. If you become the best, you will have to endure the hardships of hardships. You will not be able to enjoy happiness but not work.

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxiu, Dasun, are you right?

As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, the ministers naturally understand the efforts of the emperor's grandfather! Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, yesterday, his grandson read the surplus report from the Ministry of Revenue this year, and the salt taxes in Liangjiang and the grain cloths in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all rich. His grandson thought that all the ministers and workers have been tired for a year, so it is better for the emperor to reward them with something.

Then, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and said, "The capital is poor, the capital is expensive, and everyone is a big family." Why not give them a grace and reward them with double salary at the end of the year. With this grace, they work harder, right?"

The old man smiled and thought to himself, "Absolute family!"

There are thousands of people above the sixth rank in Beijing. With such a reward of about 10,000 or 20,000 pieces of cloth left.

But he also agreed with this proposal. He was a mean emperor and he never wanted his grandson to be like that. A virtuous monarch would look like a virtuous monarch. He didn't care how to write about him in history books, but if he thought about the history books in later generations, his grandson was a kind and virtuous monarch, and his beard could make him laugh.

OK! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "As you said, Fu Youwen, the Ministry of Revenue, you will handle this matter!"

I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness! Although the double salary is not much, for the ministers, they are the best rewards they have been busy for a year, and you all smile happily.

Don’t thank us, thank you, thank your crown prince! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, “He is better than us, we know that we can command people, and he is sympathetic to your hard work!

All the ministers pay homage to you again, and I will thank His Highness Grandpa for his kindness!

The Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui smiled and said, "I have read history books all over my life, but I have never seen such a wise and sage crown prince. His Royal Highness, the crown prince, has a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and can also be sympathetic to the difficulties of the ministers. I am very lucky to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty when I was born!

The old man stroked his beard and smiled. He was still young. Don’t praise him like this in the future!

I am not praising me, but heartfelt words! Zhan Hui said with a smile.

You are just like your business, but what we value is your loyalty and respect! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

This is already a great compliment. Zhan Hui was so happy that his teeth were almost gone. After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers thought to themselves that flattering the emperor is easy to get kicked, and they still have to be hit on the emperor's grandson in the future.

I have a memorial! The general of the Central Army Xu Huizu made a name for himself.

Come on! Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Xu Huizu took a look at Zhu Yunxi inadvertently and said, in recent years, in the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, most of the people who made meritorious contributions were border generals, but in the capital, many young talents were unable to lead troops due to their qualifications.

I would like to ask Your Majesty to send young generals in the Governor's Office of the Five Army to select the sons of meritorious people who love martial arts and go to the border to take up their posts.

As he said that, Xu Huizu looked up and said, "Martial Arts, only through experience can one become a talent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, saying that's how it is, all wars are fought. As he said, look at Zhu Yunsheng and Dasun, what do you think?

Sun-er felt that what Xu Aiqing said was very true! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's always shallow on paper. In the capital, it's just a matter of talking about war on paper. Only by fighting in the border can we become a real general. In the Ming Dynasty, there are still many wars to fight in the future, and we can't always rely on veterans."

Let’s do it! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and turned around. The Governor’s Office of the Five Army reported to the Grand Prince’s Office. You and others assisted the Grand Prince to select talents!

Message, receive the order!

Grandson, thank you Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu also stood up and said.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the people who were ordered out of the Crown Prince will be the Crown Prince. This step will inevitably increase the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the army.

The crown prince had the support of the Chang family and Lan Yu faction, and the respect of the old ministers in Huaixi. Now, coupled with the loyalty of young generals in the army, the crown prince's position was as stable as Mount Tai.

At this time, Liang Guogong Lan Yu suddenly spoke.

Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Grand Prince, I have a memorial!

Everyone was a little surprised. General Lan rarely spoke in the court.

What's wrong? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Let's listen!"

I have not been able to eliminate the roots in the battle between the Northern Yuan outside the Great Wall this summer. There are many Hu people in the northwest. The border guards reported that the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had the momentum to unite with the Tubo.

I am asking for the beginning of spring to go to war. Spring is the time when the Hu people are not in trouble. It is better to fight in spring than to harass our Ming Dynasty when they are tall and fat in autumn. I am willing to bring 60,000 troops from the Beijing camp, join the border guards, and count 100,000 soldiers to go out to sweep away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

This shouldn't be said at this time!

Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart. Lan Yu's military vision is very good. Now the Ming Dynasty has the advantage in military affairs. It is time to beat the North Yuan and completely clear the threat from the Northwest.

But first, you should take a careful consideration to send troops and only speak after the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Emperor discuss it. Second, you, Lan Yu, asked for your order to go to the war in person, which is inappropriate.

It is not necessary for you, Lan Yu, to go there personally. There are so many meritorious generals in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a decoration. Moreover, after the war this summer, his official position and rewards have not been announced yet, so the old man has always held it.

Besides, the old man had already rejected it once. Now he mentioned it again, but he was still at the court meeting.

Do you, Lan Yu, really have low EQ, or do you want to give eye drops to the old man? Zhu Yunhuang secretly hated him.

Let’s discuss the issue of sending troops! Sure enough, the old man looked like he had no smile on his face. He knew that you were loyal to the country, but the war was big and small, and there was a rush. In the northwest, he did not dare to come again within a few years of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Finally, there was a surplus in the treasury, so the people would be supported for a few years!

Your Majesty, the fighter will never come again...

Hum? Lan Yu was still talking about it. The old man snorted a long tone from his nose, and looked over with a light look. Lan Yu suddenly shrank his neck and dared not say anything again.

At this time, Zhu Yunxiu spoke, Lan Yu!

I'm here!

You must understand the good intentions of Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxiu said, "What you see is the safety of the whole land, the safety of the whole world and the safety of the Ming Dynasty." I also read the battle report of the northwest. A group of stray dogs cannot make a big difference. It just so happens that young generals are about to go to the border to experience this battle. Let them fight this battle.

Choose a steady veteran general to sit in the northwest, supplemented by young generals, and the border army takes the initiative to attack, why do you use the Beijing camp again? The country spent tens of millions of dollars to fight a war. Last year, Lianghuai Salt's tax revenue was 12 million, and military pay, money and grain were 9.4 million.

The northwest is heavy, and the north is heavy! The King of Yan made a good news a few days ago, but at the end, he also asked for money. The military pay expenses in Liaodong also cost more than three million a year.

I know that you are eager to make contributions and that you are also for the good of the country. But you have to eat in one bite, so why are you anxious?

Zhu Yunxiu said unhappily that the Hu people were in the beginning of spring, but the spring plowing of the border guards could not be delayed. If the spring plowing was delayed, the country had to allocate money and grain. Once the adjustment was made, it would be a million yuan. Can Grandpa and the Orphan be used to make money?

Lan Yu's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak.

It’s still the eldest grandson who understands our painstaking efforts! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, “You know how to kill and fight, and you don’t understand anything about people’s livelihood!

I am, Meng Lang! Lan Yu apologized, what the emperor said, I will just listen to you!

Although he apologized, he was afraid he was not convinced by his appearance, otherwise he would not have the second half of the sentence.

Not only do you not understand the people's livelihood, but you also don't even understand the worldly ways. We have tolerated you for so many years and have spent so much effort. Have you ever remembered it in your heart! The old man's face suddenly became ugly. I didn't want you to have sex today, but I thought about it and told you, but you...

As he said, he snapped.

A memorial fell under Lan Yu's feet.

When he was stunned, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang sneer and said, "You see it yourself!"

Lan Yu's heart skipped a beat. She first glanced at Zhu Yunxiu. After confirming that the other party gave him a gentle look, she felt a little relieved.

However, as soon as I opened the memorial, my heart suddenly thrilled.
Chapter completed!
