Chapter 44 Dark Chess (1)

"I look at the King of Yan, with a trance and a dull expression, a frivolous body and a depressed heart, which is completely different from the past!"

In the imperial garden, Zhu Yunxiu walked strolling, his fingers swept across the flowers, plants and trees beside him from time to time, picking two leaves from time to time, and kneading them at his fingertips.

Duke Xu Huizu of Wei State fell one position behind, lowered his head slightly, and spoke in a low voice.

"And this time when I came to Beijing, the King of Yan did not bring guards and ceremonial guards, and there were only some guards around him..."

"I know all this!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly stopped, and the leaves with his fingertips were smashed into the lake. "You said just now, King Yan was depressed? How did you see it?"

Xu Huizu paused, "I have been in contact with the King of Yan for a long time!" As he said, he paused again, "When I was young, I and the King of Yan learned how to lead troops and handle military affairs in my father's army. I know a little bit about his character. The reason why he was depressed was that I looked at the King of Yan and forced a smile after entering the capital!"

Zhu Yunxiu listened silently, without saying a word.

Xu Huizu was a little nervous and wanted to look up at the emperor, but he didn't dare to, so he could only bow and bow his head.

"Therefore, the King of Zhongshan, do you like the Fourth Uncle very much?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly said.

"This..." This surprised Xu Huizu, but the king asked again. The minister dared not not answer or lie, and said, "Yes! My father once joked that when King Yan grew up, he had been tempered by the battle formation. Even if his father led his army to him, he might not be his opponent!"

"It's not just the old King of Zhongshan!" Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly, "I know that many founding nobles and old ministers also admired and liked the fourth uncle from the bottom of their hearts!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huizu suddenly felt sweat on his forehead.

He quickly said, "Your Majesty, what I mean is simply military, and there is no other intention!"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and turned around, "You, why are you so nervous? I'm not chatting with you?" As he said, as if his joke made the other party feel a little disgusted because of his own joke. He continued to speak, "Sit on the stool over there, don't stand and reply!"

"I dare not!" Xu Huizu said respectfully.

In any case, Zhu Di's outstanding military talent is an indisputable fact, and among the princes at that time, the one who was most admired by those founding nobles was the King of Yan Zhu Di.

After being in this position for a long time, Zhu Yunyu has become much more profound than before.

The reason why Zhu Di was able to succeed in fighting against the world in one corner was not accidental, but inevitable. It is just that Zhu Di had a large number of military generals from the court who surrendered to him in times of adversity, which can explain everything.

Zhu Yunwen could not control those noble and arrogant soldiers, and even played a certain role in fueling the fire when the old man killed those noble and military generals for thousands of years.

Otherwise, the prince Zhu Biao had several times quarreled with him because of his indiscriminate killing. Zhu Yunwen had a reputation as a virtuous person, so why didn’t he find a way to protect those martial officials?

Moreover, he was close to civil officials. So under the old man's butcher's knife, the surviving members of the Huaixi Martial Arts Group all secretly turned to Zhu Di.

One of the reasons why King Yan Zhu Di was successful was because he secretly gained the support of many warriors.

However, for Zhu Yunxiu, these do not exist.

Zhu Yunwen has long been the dry bones in the tomb!

There is no longer any weighty helper around Zhu Di!

In fact, Zhu Yunyu has long since taken this matter to heart, and he no longer regards Zhu Di as an opponent. However, what Zhu Di showed made him both angry and laugh.

Do you pretend to be honest if you only bring dozens of guards to Beijing?

Are you sick? Are you pretending to be weak?

Or, retreat to advance?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the lake and suddenly laughed.

"Zhu Di only has me in his eyes! And my eyes are the whole world! Why bother to be concerned about such things? If he can use it, use it; if he can't use it, throw it away, and don't worry about it!"

If you recite a sentence silently, your heart will be much more refreshed.

"Next year, I will send you out of the capital for a walk!" Zhu Yunxiu changed the topic, and his tone contained a bit of the meaning of the monarch and his ministers' response.

Xu Huizu quickly stood up and listened intently.

"The founding veterans of the dynasty are old. These days it is a memorial to the veterans' serious illness. I have accepted it several times!" Zhu Yunxiu said slowly, "So, it's time for you to take the lead. There have been no major battles in the border areas in recent years, but the inland garrison stations dare not relax!"

"Once the country relaxes its military support, there is no more power to fight. You know this. I sent you and Longhu to Ping'an to train troops in Henan, Huguang and other places!"

"The soldiers who can fight stay, and those who can't fight go! Do you understand?"

Xu Huizu kowtowed, "I obey the order!"

But in his heart, he was a little confused about the sudden military training intention. If military training is carried out, the key is the Liaodong Dusi, Tielingwei and other borders are the key. Why should it be in Henan and Huguang?

There is located inland and has always been peaceful!

But he didn't know that this was a sign that Zhu Yunyu was preparing to integrate the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

The Jinyi Guard came to report that in the thirty years since the founding of the country, the inland garrisons had already shown signs of loose military equipment. The officers and soldiers of the garrisons were all military households and had to serve in the army for generations. The former arrogant soldiers and generals grew old, and their descendants became peasants.

And those officers are about to become landlords.

The Ming Dynasty needed to streamline military and government!

Moreover, Zhu Yunyu has another deep meaning. Starting from military households, he changed his citizenship to the people. Then, those who have been lowly households and craftsmen who have been craftsmen for generations can no longer suffer from humble status.

It can be said that this household registration system with fixed identity professions is a deep disadvantage of the entire Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Park Wuyong came over from behind and whispered, "Long live, Master Zheng, please see him!"

The Duke of Zheng was the Chang family of the former founding Duke of the State.

Back then, because of Zhu Yunsheng's uncle Chang Mao, Duke Zheng was changed to the founding Duke. After Zhu Yunsheng ascended the throne, he changed his name to Zheng.

"Well, let him come over!" Zhu Yunxiu said softly, then looked at Xu Huizu, "Don't show off what I said to you first. Look back and think about how to train troops. I will give you a note!"

Xu Huizu hurriedly said, "I obey the order!" Then, he also understood that this was Zhu Yunxiu's intention to let him leave, and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave!"

~~~

"Please come from the Duke!"

Pu Wuyong smiled and led Duke Changsheng to the Imperial Garden.

Chang Sheng was wearing a reckless jade belt and laughed, "Okay, you, the big manager around you, don't be so polite to me! I can't enjoy it!"

Park Wuyong whispered, "What are you talking about in the kingdom? You are a hereditary hero and the first foreign relative of the dynasty. Of course, I will call you a master!"

This simplicity is useless, it is much smoother than the turtle, and it is usually not smooth to loaches!

Chang Sheng said in his heart that as soon as he walked into the imperial garden, he saw Xu Huizu coming from the opposite side.

The two looked at each other silently, saying hello.

"I always succeed, I will bow to the emperor!"

As soon as he arrived not far behind Zhu Yunxiu, Chang Sheng kowtowed and said.
Chapter completed!
