The old man is such a person, he has a clear distinction between love and hate, and he puts it all on his face, never showing off.
He said he wanted to build a great empire for future generations, so he would definitely do it.
Zhu Biao said quietly: "I heard that Yunxi is very enthusiastic about the land in the south that is ripe every year?"
To say that he is eager is a way of saying that the prince has restrained himself. If he goes by what the eunuch who came back told him, it should be said that Zhu Yunxi can't wait to lead his troops to capture that place now.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a smile that couldn't be faked: "This child is knowledgeable. He has never traveled far in these years, but he knows so many things. It is reasonable to be more eager. It is really commendable. He has gained a lot of face for us!" At this moment, the expression of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was just like that of the old farmer in Guzhuang Village, Taiping Township. He was extremely satisfied with his descendants.
Today, Zhu Biao has gradually become accustomed to the old man, and he will show this expression whenever he mentions Zhu Yunxi.
He pondered for a moment and spoke in a low voice: "Now that our country, the Ming Dynasty, has been implicated by the remnants of the Yuan people, we have to send troops to the north one after another to conquer. But since there is a place in the south that is waiting for three crops a year, should we let people go and see it first?
?"
There has never been a principle in the world where one generation dominates the country and the second generation takes over.
In Zhu Biao's view, if one generation of the Ming Dynasty conquered the country and the second generation ruled from the top, it would be in a retreat situation.
If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is true for everything in the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It's time to send someone to take a look. There is such a good place in the south, and it is... and it is our homeland in the Central Plains. Our family is located in the Central Plains, how can we let our homeland be displaced outside."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but chuckle, being amused by Zhu Yuanzhang's saying that he came to his hometown through Zhu Yunxi.
After laughing, he whispered: "Then the message asked the eldest brother to send someone to have a look? He is close to that side."
"Ying'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but call out, but he said instead: "Ying'er hasn't responded to Tian for two years."
The Ying'er mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang is today's Hou Muying of Xiping, and he was also the adopted son raised by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
Mu Ying, who was only eight years old in her early years, began to learn writing and practice military tactics when she got to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. When she got older, she followed him on expeditions and campaigns, and gradually rose up in the army.
Since the 14th year of Hongwu, Mu Ying, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu led an army of 300,000 to conquer Yunnan, and after it was pacified, he has been staying in Yunnan.
Zhu Biao said without hesitation: "The eldest brother came back in the 22nd year of Hongwu."
"Let's..." Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and finally shook his head: "Draft a decree and ask him to send someone to the south to have a look. Look carefully. Then write a letter and send it back to us for a look."
"Hey!" Zhu Biao's face was filled with joy. The old man asked him to draft the edict, probably with the intention of letting him bring a family letter with him.
He and Mu Ying grew up together. When he became the prince and participated in political affairs, Mu Ying also started to take charge of Yunnan. It would take several years for the two of them to meet each other.
Probably because he was really getting old, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent after the prince mentioned Mu Ying.
Zhu Biao was drafting the edict on the side and writing a letter from home to send to Mu Ying in Yunnan.
At this time.
A person walked towards the hall without revealing his steps.
Feiyu suit.
Embroidered spring knife.
This person has a murderous look on his face, and his slightly round face looks a bit dark.
He walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang. Before he could speak, Zhu Biao noticed him and raised his head to look at the man.
Jinyiwei Commander Jiang Huan!
Since the first commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, was convicted and sentenced to death for the Hu Weiyong case, the Jin Yiwei has been in charge of Jiang Yu.
His arrival...
Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown.
Even though he knew the role of Jinyiwei, he still didn't like this organization that monitored the affairs of hundreds of officials' families.
However, Jiang Yu’s appearance must be related to the court.
Zhu Biao was about to get up and avoid it, but Jiang Wei was already looking at him with a smile.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, the emperor and grandson's class has ended."
Zhu Biao's heart moved, and he looked sideways at Jiang Yu who was speaking, knowing that he was also talking to him.
It’s just.
Zhu Biao moved his eyes and looked at the old man. He didn't know that the old man was still secretly observing the emperor's grandson.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Biao, his eyes looked very calm, and then said: "What is the emperor doing now? What did Fang Xiaoru teach in the main hall today?"
An ugly smile appeared on Jiang Wei's murderous face: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang today taught all the lessons from the Four Books and Five Classics according to the homework progress of the princes and grandsons. At the beginning, with the emperor,
Sun talked about some land matters."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned sideways and looked at the bowed Jiang Yu: "Oh... or those things in the south?"
Jiang Wei nodded: "Yes. The emperor and grandson meant that the number of people in our Ming Dynasty will only increase, and there is only so much land. There is a good place in the south, so naturally we must occupy it as soon as possible to support the people of our future generations in the Ming Dynasty." p>
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and looked at the prince in front of him, with a hidden meaning in his eyes.
He asked again: "Then where is he now?"
"While still in the main hall, after seeing Mr. Fang off, he was stopped by the princes and princes, asking him to talk about what happened outside the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed twice, not knowing what he meant.
Zhu Biao immediately said: "This trend cannot last long!"
Today, the younger brothers who went to study in Dabentang, both young and old, began to clamor to change the title of Southern Xinjiang. Zhu Biao was really not convinced. If Zhu Yunxi continued to preach for a long time, his uncles and his younger brothers would
What will we do?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not express his attitude, but said to Jiang Wei: "I asked the emperor's grandson to come to Zhongji Hall to see us. We have something to say to him."
Jiang Wei respectfully accepted the order and left the Zhongji Hall in a backward step.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi was surrounded by all his uncles in the main hall. The youngest and twenty-third uncle, Zhu Huan, was almost glued to his lap, raising his head and waiting for what he would say next.
On the other hand, Zhu Yunwen, the guy, walked away after class early in the morning, not knowing what he was going to do.
Zhu Huang, who raised his head, stared at his big eyes, round and clear in black and white: "Yunxi, if we go further west from the Western Regions, what is the use of that black oil you mentioned?"
The little twenty-third uncle Zhu Huan was almost hanging on Zhu Yunxi's thigh at this time, looking extremely cute.
Zhu Yunxi had just finished introducing the fertile land and mineral deposits buried deep in southern Xinjiang to the uncles present.
Seeing that Uncle Twenty-Third has begun to take the initiative to study.
He patted Zhu Huan's head with a smile on his face: "Heiyou! According to rumors, it will become my Ming Dynasty, and become a treasure that the world can watch the sun rise and the moon set together!"
People present did not understand what it was like to watch the sun rise and the moon set together.
But they all could hear that what Zhu Yunxi said was nothing but praise for the thing called black oil, which was very impressive!
