All the eunuchs stood outside the palace with their hands down, motionless even under the scorching sunlight.
Not far from them, the stone tablet erected by the old man himself stood silently.
There are two lines of big characters clearly written on it: eunuchs in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics, and anyone who violates it can be punished.
At the entrance of Qianqing Palace, there were several guards in full armor standing with murderous looks on their faces like door gods.
Zhu Yunxi sat on the throne, looked at the ministers in front of him, and listened expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, the war in Japan has resumed!" Wei Guogong Xu Huizu bowed and said, "The Yamano family can't hold it anymore!" He paused, "The Ashikaga shogunate issued an edict in the name of the Emperor of Japan. Calling the Yamano family By luring the wolf into the house, the Ming Dynasty is a formidable enemy that Japan has not seen in thousands of years. If we don't work together, Korea will be a lesson to Japan."
"The edict also says that we, the Ming Dynasty, want to destroy its species, destroy its literature, destroy its language, and burn its shrines. It also says that once the Ming people occupy Japan, they will inevitably change their customs and cut off the thousand-year inheritance of Japan!"
These words caused all the ministers in the palace to chuckle, and even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
"Change customs?" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "I'll fucking shave my hair and change clothes for you!"
Thinking about it, he continued to think to himself, "However, this method of shaving your hair and changing clothes is not impossible in Japan!"
Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and whispered, "Moreover, the edict also said that your Majesty..."
Zhu Yunxi had a sneer on his lips, "What are you talking about me?"
"I dare not say it!" Xu Huizu lowered his head and said.
"Ha, but it's okay to say it!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "It's not a good thing to say, so I forgive you!"
"Yes!" Xu Huizu also smiled, "Say that you, as the king of a superior country, peeked into the land of a small country, went to war and went crazy, this is the rebirth of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will be punished by heaven!"
Zhu Yunxi laughed again, very happily.
What Xu Huizu said must have been reserved and even embellished. Presumably, in the edict of the Japanese shogunate, Zhu Yunxi must have cursed Baga.
"This is unreasonable!" Li Jinglong said among the ministers, "How can they blame me, the Ming Dynasty, for their civil war? How dare you curse my Ming Dynasty Holy Lord?" After saying that, he stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, this is so unfaithful and unjust. In this country, I, as the master of tigers and wolves of the Ming Dynasty, will sail out to the sea to slay these beasts!"
"Would you like a little face?"
Zhu Gaochi, who was standing on the side, turned his head slightly, glanced at Li Jinglong, and thought to himself, "I was living a good life, why don't you have any idea why the fight started?"
Immediately, many worries welled up in his heart.
The use of troops against Burma has not yet begun, but Japan is about to move again? Although it is a small fight, it is also a two-front war. It doesn't matter if you win, but what if you lose?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the emperor's profile.
He said in his heart, "Although this is not Emperor Sui Yang, his temperament is similar to that of Emperor Yang of Sui. His flaws will be repaid. If he loses, he will definitely turn Japan into a white land without mercy... The cost of that is It’s too big. Moreover, the new policy is about to be implemented..."
Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi seemed to suddenly understand.
"Is it because of the New Deal that he wants to fight? To divert the contradictions caused by the New Deal?"
Zhu Yunxu raised his hand to signal Li Jinglong to sit down, then looked at Xu Huizu, "Tell me about the battle situation over there!"
Xu Huizu continued, "In the past, during the Japanese civil war, the princes in the country were still waiting and watching, thinking of getting a share of the pie. But now the Ashikaga shogunate has made it clear, and...well..."
As he spoke, he was a little vague.
Zhu Yunxi understood what he was being vague about. Shan Mingjia's trump card was the Ming Dynasty's soldiers.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were outside and had a fine tradition of poor military discipline. They were like locusts crossing the border. According to reports from Jinyiwei and Qingyan, several merchant ships loaded with loot set sail back to the Ming Dynasty from Japan every month.
It must be that the princes in Japan have also seen through Ming's wolfish ambitions!
"Go on!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
"So most of the Japanese princes are on the side of the Ashikaga Shogunate!" Xu Huizu said again, "As soon as the shogunate exerted such force, the Yamano family could no longer hold on, and the front line that had been gradually pushed forward in advance collapsed thousands of miles. According to the latest battle report
, if our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty hadn’t helped to maintain it, I’m afraid it would have been completely defeated.”
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised, "Can't we hold on anymore? How many people from the Shanming family died?"
"The report says it's one thousand and eighty!" Xu Huizu looked at the note in his hand, "It's actually about the same!"
"Hahaha!" There was a sudden burst of uncontrollable laughter in the palace.
You play that?
Eighteen hundred people died and then they collapsed thousands of miles away?
Just when someone was about to taunt, they saw Zhu Yunxi raised his arms in displeasure, and the hall immediately became quiet again.
"A collapse of thousands of miles?" Zhu Yunxi pondered, "Did the Shanming family have the idea of preserving their strength, so they showed it to us?"
Xu Huizu said again, "That should be the case. Although there were few people who died this time, in the past two years, the strength of the Shanming family has been greatly reduced. In addition, our soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty will not take action until the critical moment.
He couldn’t command. So, he came up with this cruel trick, hoping that we, the Ming Dynasty, would directly attack him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinglong stood up again and said, "The emperor has seen thousands of miles away and knows the enemy like a god!"
Zhu Yunxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly to filter out Li Jinglong's flattery.
It's also strange. He hates others flattering him the most, but Li Jinglong never tires of flattering him.
"Did the famous mountain master say anything?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"Please ask the Ming Dynasty to increase its troops, and also ask the Ming Dynasty to directly declare war on the shogunate!" Xu Huizu said.
Zhu Yunxi frowned in thought, tapping his slender fingers on the table.
There was silence in the palace, everyone was waiting for his decision.
"It stands to reason!" Zhu Yunxi said, "I don't want to get involved in their civil war in Japan. I don't want future generations to say that I, the Ming Dynasty, bully the small ones!"
"Bah, even more fucking shameless!" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
"But!" Zhu Yunxi changed the subject, "He shouldn't have scolded me! Isn't that right?"
"The small country of Zuer dares to disrespect the great emperor of Ming Dynasty. I am willing to mention my great master of the great Ming Dynasty and crush Japan to thank the god for his anger!" Li Jinglong said loudly again.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Cao Guo!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand slightly and said with a smile, "It's nothing! War is a big deal after all! I have a good life, how can I add troops at will to investigate the crime?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhu Gaochi cursed again in his heart, "It's so fucking shameless. Who among these people in front of you doesn't know what you're capable of? What are you pretending to do!"
"But!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "Shan Mingjia is my servant of the Ming Dynasty, how can I allow others to bully me!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Send a decree to Song Sheng, the general manager of Goryeo, and ask him to mobilize 30,000 Goryeo troops.
Departing from Busan... giving the mountain masters a strong momentum!"
"So bad!"
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Who did you learn this trick of coaxing others to take your back?"
Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong and others also heard the emperor's true intention, but they still pretended not to know and let them continue to fight. The Koreans were first used as cannon fodder, and then Ming soldiers came out to clean up the situation.
Suddenly, Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, said, "Your Majesty, we need to mobilize troops again? Where will the food and wages come from?" He lowered his eyes and said, "I am so stretched that I can do nothing!"
"Since we are moving troops from Goryeo, we will naturally raise food and wages in Goryeo!" Zhu Yunxi glanced at him.
Zhang Yan suddenly smiled brightly, and turned to look at Xu Huizu, "Xu Du, you have to ask the Korean camp. If the food there is rich, see if you can turn over some. Xuzhou ancient road construction, our Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of people to support.
