Chapter 173 I am willing to go through fire and water for the emperor’s grandson
Cao Guogong stayed.
Zhu Yunxi's voice reached everyone's ears, and Li Jinglong trembled slightly.
They all left, leaving the emperor alone.
A bad feeling flashed in Li Jinglong's heart.
Chang Sheng and others stood up one after another without stopping and bowed to leave.
Not yet waiting for them to make a small study room.
Zhu Yunxi had already spoken: "Cao Guogong is in charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, but he manages the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion very well! Thieves can come and go freely in Yingtian City!"
Li Jinglong is in trouble!
Before going out, Chang Sheng, Lan Yu and others thought this in their hearts after hearing what the emperor's grandson said.
It's just that Li Jinglong is in charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.
He deserves to fight this pot.
If they didn't stay, they filed out, and rushed home to tell them twice that they would follow the order and go to the Beijing camp to reorganize and practice.
Li Jinglong, who was left in the small study, was completely panicked.
My guess was indeed correct.
If he had known now, he should not have taken over the errand of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army.
Li Jinglong, who had been kneeling on the ground and never got up, immediately kowtowed to the ground without thinking about it.
The voice also became tragic.
"I am guilty of the death penalty. In the past, I relied on my late father's influence and was deeply favored by the emperor to take charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion for His Majesty. However, due to my negligence, a thief escaped from the capital under the nose of hundreds of thousands of troops. The crime is here.
I cannot absolve myself of the blame and let the emperor’s grandson punish me!”
Li Jinglong spoke righteous words at this time, as if he wanted Kang to go to justice and bear all the responsibilities for his crimes.
But Zhu Yunxi stared at him with faint eyes and hummed twice inaudibly.
This guy is quite clever.
In pleading guilty, he did not forget to bring up Li Wenzhong, the late Duke of Cao, who had already passed away.
That's the old man's nephew.
When I say this at this time, I am not just begging for mercy. I hope that I will forgive him out of the kindness of the late Cao Guogong.
Zhu Yunxi said: "You know your Majesty's character. You can't tolerate sand in your eyes. Anyone who does something wrong will be punished. I have already explained to you what happened yesterday. Your Majesty is planning to kill someone."
Yes, you should understand who you want to kill."
How dare Li Jinglong not understand at this time.
Isn't it just because he is in charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion that he is left here by the emperor's grandson?
The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army is responsible for the officers and soldiers of the guards in the capital, Zhili and other places.
Something like that happened in Yingtian City yesterday. The emperor wanted to kill someone, and he also wanted to kill him.
Li Jinglong raised his head, his eyes were already red.
"The guilty minister failed to live up to the divine grace, failed to live up to the teachings of the prince, and also failed to live up to the expectations of the emperor's grandson. Even if he takes away his position and reduces his rank, it will be difficult to absolve him of his guilt."
If he hadn't understood the purpose of today, Zhu Yunxi would have almost stopped pretending and burst into laughter.
When he looked at Li Jinglong again, he felt that the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether he had any real ability or not, was quite powerful in terms of his cleverness and adaptability.
Zhu Yunxi hummed: "Is it enough to seize the position? The first Duke of Cao fought for the country, and this Duke was earned by the first Duke of Cao. Neither your majesty nor the orphan can bear to cut him off."
When Li Jinglong heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the title of Duke is still there, no matter how punished I am, I will be able to come back after a few years.
However, the next moment, Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "But you can't think that the imperial court will not punish you because of the achievements of Cao Guogong! If you can't sit in Cao Guogong's seat, the imperial court can naturally find another heir in the Li family and change the title!
”
Oops!
Li Jinglong felt a chill running down his back, and he actually forgot about it.
Cao Guogong's title must be retained, but there are several younger brothers in the family. The court can reduce his title and give Cao Guogong's title to those younger brothers.
He immediately kowtowed again: "I am guilty of death. I know that no matter what, I can't excuse what happened yesterday. Even if I am reduced to a soldier and go to the border to guard the border and kill enemies for the Ming Dynasty, I can't eliminate my guilt. I died in battle."
Even on the battlefield, I had no words to meet my late father."
Cao Guogong cannot lose his title, otherwise he will really die without the shame to see his father.
In order to hold on to the title of Cao Guogong, Li Jinglong has done everything possible. Even if he was stripped of all his official positions today, demoted to a small soldier, and sent to the border to guard the border, it would be better than seizing the title.
Zhu Yunxi's mouth was slightly the same, and his eyes were indifferently glanced at Li Jinglong: "Cao Guogong is willing to be an ordinary soldier?"
There is still a chance! Li Jinglong thought to himself, took a deep breath and raised his head.
"Returning to the emperor's grandson, let alone an ordinary soldier, the emperor's grandson sent Cheng Cheng to the border to feed the horses of the frontline soldiers. I have no complaints or regrets."
These are the words of a promise, and then Li Jinglong further added: "As long as the things I have committed can be revealed, I am willing to go through fire and water for the emperor's grandson. Even if I die on the battlefield and be buried in horse leather, I will not hesitate to do it. It is my duty to do so!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Yunxi slapped the table fiercely: "Gong Cao Guo has indeed not lost the reputation of his predecessor Cao Guo Guo! Speaking of which, there happens to be a military incident in the court, which is very difficult. I was originally worried about who should be allowed to handle it..." <
/p>
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong immediately reacted: "My father fought for Your Majesty on the battlefield in the past, with the thought of seeing death as home. Although I am not talented, I do not want to lose my father's reputation. No matter how difficult it is, I am obliged to do so and will never retreat even half a step.
Step!"
What was the most difficult thing for the Ming Dynasty’s military?
What else can be compared to driving away the Tartars, marching north every year, and going deep into the desert grasslands?
It's just a trip to the north to guard the border.
Li Jinglong thought so.
Zhu Yunxi spoke in a deep voice: "The Japanese are bold and have repeatedly invaded the southeastern coast. This time they made arrogant remarks on His Majesty's Longevity Festival and fled at night without caring about the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the Ashikaga clan of the Northern Dynasty was the most traitorous.
Very!
Your Majesty, with your intention, sent a large army to the Japanese countries to join forces with the Yoshino clan of the Southern Dynasty to suppress the Qing Dynasty and annihilate the Northern Dynasty!"
Lead troops across the sea to Japan?
Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment.
When did the imperial court decide to attack Japan?
He had no idea at all, but when he thought about what the Emperor Taisun meant in his words, he wanted to lead troops to the Japanese country himself.
Li Jinglong felt troubled.
That was the Japanese country that could only be reached by crossing the sea on a warship.
No one knows what the situation is like in Japan.
This time the Japanese was able to escape from the city under the watchful eyes of Yingtian's hundreds of thousands of troops. Who knows if after he went to the Japanese country, the Japanese would quietly touch the bedside and kill him with a knife.
When the time comes to die in a foreign land, I am afraid that even the bones will not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi saw Li Jinglong's hesitation.
He said calmly: "Your Majesty was asking yesterday whether the third child in your family was like his father."
Hear this.
Li Jinglong was so excited that his whole body trembled.
He immediately spoke: "There is something going on in the country. A small country is attacking the Ming Dynasty. I have asked myself to lead troops to the sea to frighten the Qing Dynasty and capture the Japanese rebels! I report your Majesty's favor and my father's legacy!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Since Cao Guogong has asked himself to lead his troops to sea to assist the Yoshino clan in the southern Japanese country to suppress the rebels in the northern dynasty and serve the country, how can I stop him? I entrust this matter to Cao Guogong. I must not live up to His Majesty's high hopes and Gu's expectations!" Li Jinglong gritted his teeth. He had already agreed to the matter. It would be difficult to repent.
He showed determination and solemnly promised: "I will not return the country even if I do not destroy the Japanese country for one day! When I wipe out the Japanese country, promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, and return to the court with victory and triumph, I will go to the emperor's grandson to apologize again!"
”
Zhu Yunxi hummed, waved his hand and said: "Since Cao Guogong is willing to lead the army, how can he be blamed now? It's just that this time we join forces with the Yoshino clan of the Japanese country in the southern dynasty, it is of great importance, and there are many matters. I want to explain it to you in detail, and more
I want to select lieutenants for you, and officials will assist you."
Li Jinglong had resigned himself to it at this time. He was going to the Japanese country and had nothing else to seek.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "You go back, I will explain to you in detail before setting off."
Li Jinglong didn't dare to stay. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would not only have to sacrifice his life for the country, but also go bankrupt.
He stood up, excused himself, and slowly exited the small study room in the East Palace.
Zhu Yunxi watched Li Jinglong retreat with dull eyes, his eyes flickering twice.
Today, the whole purpose is to beat the nobles and get Li Jinglong, a man who has good connections with people and is good at setting up camps and defenses, to sit in the Japanese country.
He was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and his contacts with the Japanese and Southern Dynasties were important. And dealing with people was his specialty.
The Ming Dynasty is now just helping the Japanese country to stabilize the situation in the Southern Dynasties, and then taking the opportunity to mine silver mines. It does not really want to use the Ming Dynasty's army to bleed and sacrifice for the internal fighting of the Japanese people.
Li Jinglong was pretending to be a coward in the Japanese country, and sent a general as his deputy to prevent a real war from happening and prevent Li Jinglong from doing anything outrageous.
It's just that Zhu Yunxi has not yet decided on the candidate for deputy general.
After all, this deputy general who directly leads the army and directs the war in Japan has a more important role than Li Jinglong!
Thinking of this, he had already stood up.
He said to the two girls behind him: "I went to grandpa's place to talk about something, and you were tired and stood here for a long time today."
"Sword Comes"
Let Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun appear here today to show people like Lan Yu that they are not the only meritorious generals in the court.
Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun nodded gently and said, "I respectfully send you off to Your Highness."
Zhu Yunxi left with a smile.
At this time, Mu Caiyun finally let out a long breath, stretched out her hand and patted her young and lovely chest.
After a while, he timidly withdrew his eyes from the door and looked at Tang Queqing beside him: "Sister Tang, does the Emperor Taisun do these things on weekdays? It's really scary... Caiyun even thought that the Emperor Taisun was really doing this just now.
He's going to kill someone..."
Tang Queqing smiled silently, took the opportunity to step forward and gently half-hug Mu Caiyun in her arms, reaching out to comfort her head.
"The Emperor's Grandson is the person appointed by His Majesty, and is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty. When he is with his ministers, he can only use the emperor's skills and the way of the emperor. To make the ministers feel fearful, they must also be frightened.
Be grateful."
Mu Caiyun raised her head and looked at Tang Queqing, who was as gentle as a big sister.
There was a blush on her face: "Sister will definitely become the best imperial concubine in the future!"
Tang Queqing was caught off guard by the sudden compliment and flattery. She stretched out her hand and patted Mu Caiyun's head gently: "Damn girl, you dare to say anything!"
As he spoke, Tang Queqing already stretched out his hand to scratch Mu Caiyun's waist.
Mu Caiyun immediately jumped away, her face full of joy: "Sister, please spare my life."
……
"Li Jinglong begged for mercy."
"My grandson has made it clear to him that this time he will be sent to the Japanese country to take charge of everything."
In the main hall, Zhu Yunxi, who had rushed over, stood in front of the old man and quietly reported the previous results.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a leisurely sip of tea and asked, "Please tell me in detail about the invasion of Japan."
