Chapter 397 The Honest Second Child(1/3)
Zhu Yunxi was listening to people praise the Ming Dynasty for its strict military discipline and strong armor, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from under the city wall, and his face was filled with astonishment.
Several southwestern chieftains who were praising the Ming Dynasty immediately shut up when they saw this.
This is really shooting someone in the foot.
I and others were just bragging for Daming, so why did they brag about something happening?
The North Korean envoy Lu Song smiled slightly when he saw this and said rather disdainfully.
"It is said that the Ming Dynasty has strict military discipline, but I think it is nothing more than this..."
Annan envoy Ruan Zongliang also had a playful smile on his face.
Annan Kingdom has always been dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, or the Central Dynasty of any dynasty.
Even though the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties successively beat them into three grandsons, they still relied on the mountains and seas to oppose the central dynasty, and secretly poked and stumbling blocks.
Therefore, now that they see the Ming Dynasty's military discipline being lax, they feel extremely happy.
If this is widely publicized after returning to China, it can be regarded as boosting the morale of Annan Kingdom.
There is only one regret, and that is the secret edict from King Chen Yong, begging the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help Annan get rid of the treacherous minister Hu Jisao.
However, looking at the current decline of military discipline in the Ming Dynasty, even if the old emperor had the intention to support him, he would not have the power to support him, right?
However, for Ruan Zongliang, the secret decree he brought was just incidental. Even if the emperor Chen Yong was deposed, he would still be an official in the new dynasty, and it would not have much impact on him personally.
It's just that Hu Jishen is a cold-blooded person, so it may be difficult for him to share wealth and honor.
While the Ming Dynasty was flourishing with singing and dancing, the entire cultural circle around the Ming Dynasty was still unrest.
Japan was in the period of the Northern and Southern Emperors, and the powerful minister Ashikaga Yoshimitsu controlled the government.
The Korean peninsula is not peaceful either. Li Chenggui has just ended the Goryeo Dynasty, turned the Goryeo Dynasty into the Joseon Dynasty, and opened a new chapter in Lee's Joseon.
Annan, which is located in the corner of the southwest, is also restless. Hu Jisao, a relative of the family, is plotting to usurp the throne and intends to change the Annan of Li family to Annan of Hu family.
However, they finally had some self-awareness, that is, they did not dare to go against Ming Dynasty.
Even if they are against each other, they only dare to make small moves secretly. After doing the small moves, they have to rush to pay tribute, for fear of offending the giant dragon of Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, a small mistake in the Ming Dynasty military exercise can also help them regain a lot of national self-esteem.
After hearing the North Korean envoy's ridicule, Zhu Yunxi secretly thought that some things really haven't changed for hundreds of years.
One day, he will make Jin Ou intact!
"Wang De, go and find out who is making a noise below?"
"promise!"
Under the city wall, the Jingying, Jinyiwei, Yulinwei, Jinghaijun, and the guards of the vassals from various places were arranged in order.
The other vassal kings had no objections to their own rankings, but King Zhu Fang of Qin was very unhappy. He asked Mei Yin, who was in charge of the military exercise, why his army was ranked behind the shitty Jing Navy?
When Mei Yin saw that it was Zhu Xi who was the thorn in the side, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the second-eldest, Zhu Zhen, was not a thing. He was greedy, cruel, extravagant, and managed the feudal country not only for the people but also for the sake of their eyes.
On a side note, he also likes to show off, always considers himself the leader of the feudal lords in the world, and wants to take the lead in everything.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, Jing Haijun is the personal army of His Highness the Grand Sun!"
If he were a normal person, he would have calmed down after hearing this. However, Zhu Fang was not normal. He had made some military exploits in Xi'an, so he looked down upon everyone.
"It's true that Zhu Yunxi is the emperor's grandson, but he is even more of an orphan's younger nephew. There is no nephew in the world who ranks ahead of his uncle!"
"Hurry up and ask him to retreat to the back and bring Gu's army to the front!"
"Otherwise, even if Gu agrees, the sergeants under Gu Shou will not agree!"
After Zhu Ping shouted these words, the guards behind him immediately raised their spears and made a noise.
"No!"
"No!"
When Mei Yin saw this battle, she was really angry and scared. She was angry because Zhu Xiang was ignorant, but she was afraid of causing His Majesty's dissatisfaction.
Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers here finished making noise, he saw Erhu running over on a fast horse.
"Who is making noise here!"
Zhu Feng is a mixed person, but he still has some responsibilities.
As soon as he saw Erhu coming, he knew that the old man knew about this and stood up immediately.
"Is Gu making the noise? Do the Erhu brothers want to kill Gu?"
When Erhu saw that the person causing trouble was King Qin, his face suddenly showed the same ugly expression as Mei Yin.
"Your Highness King Qin, today's military exercise is a grand ceremony of the imperial court. There are several vassal states and southwestern chieftains watching. Can't you save some face for the imperial court?"
Zhu Xi rolled his eyelids and said.
"The imperial court didn't save face for our vassal, so why should we save face for the imperial court?"
"Let's not talk about Gu's farewell, but just talk about the military camp you arranged for Gu. What kind of place is that?"
"Besides, forget about the rice, vegetables, and rice grains you provided to Gu's guards. The vegetables are actually full of rotten leaves!"
"Are you sending beggars?"
In fact, Zhu Xi has been enduring it for a long time.
They traveled thousands of miles to the capital to participate in military exercises, but the court did not want to entertain them, but made things difficult for them at every turn.
Either the accommodation is poor or the food is poor. Thousands of people are crowded into a small camp. They don't even dare to urinate at night for fear of injuring one of their own.
When other vassal kings heard King Qin's complaints, they also cheered and cheered.
Only Zhu Fan came over to comfort him.
"Second brother, who of us is not like this?"
"Besides, we will only stay in the capital for a few days, and we will return to the fiefdom after the military exercise. You can't just ask the court to build a barracks for you just for these few days, right?"
"Be patient and get through today first!"
Zhu Di also came over to persuade him hypocritically.
"Third brother is right. We are not as good as him. We will live directly in the Jing Haijun Camp and eat bran-fed vegetables. This is our fate..."
Just when Zhu Fan wanted to echo Zhu Di and say that Zhu Di was right, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, this bad guy, actually scolded himself in a roundabout way.
"Zhu Di, what do you mean by this?"
"I have been in the capital for more than ten days, and I only went to Jinghaijun yesterday, and I only brought a few hundred people there. When did I become special?"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said with disdain.
"Third brother is right!"
"Third brother has been living with us and eating the same pig food. It's just that we are poor and can't afford dried meat and rice wine, so we can only starve our subordinates..."
Zhu Fan felt a little guilty when he heard this.
To be honest, he did eat a few small meals these days, and it was the labor supplies that his eldest nephew personally sent over.
Now that someone has caught his little tail, he doesn't know how to defend himself for a while.
Erhu saw that several vassal kings were still making a fuss for a while, so he hurriedly rode back and told Lao Zhu what was going on here, asking His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision.
As soon as Lao Zhu heard that Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were stirring up trouble, he stood up on the spot.
He originally wanted to have the two traitors beaten, but he was afraid that the two traitors would cause more trouble and send him abroad.
But if they don't deal with it and the two of them continue to toss around for a while, Daming's face will be completely lost.
While Lao Zhu was hesitating, Zhu Yunxi came over.
Zhu Yunxi also learned from Wang De what happened next. When he thought of Grandpa Huang's protective temperament, he knew that the old man must have fallen into a multiple-choice question where the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly came to Lao Zhu, picked up the two gold cups on Lao Zhu's table, filled them with wine and ordered them to be delivered to Zhu Cang and Zhu Di.
Qin Deshun looked at Lao Zhu and then at Zhu Yunxi, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Lao Zhu also looked at Dasun in surprise, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Dasun, what do you mean by bringing wine to your two uncles?"
"Could it be to add fuel to the fire and want them to get drunk and continue to cause trouble?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang, just ask Eunuch Qin to deliver the wine."
"The two uncles are so smart that they can calm down as soon as they see the wine glass."
"this?"
Lao Zhu looked unbelieving, but seeing that Dasun was so sure of his words, he still gave Qin Deshun a look.
