Chapter 226 Zhu Di: I am very happy to have you, King Qi.
Zhu Di held the wine glass and filled the wine cup in front of him: "Come, I'll toast you a glass and congratulate you on becoming a father."
Zhu Gaojie was a little flattered by the result. He had never seen the old man in such a posture. If he had seen the "old father's smile" on the old man's face in the past, he would most likely be looking for trouble again.
Just when he picked up the wine glass and was about to take a sip, Zhu Di said calmly: "By the way, do you know who is in the cabinet? How is Yang Shiqi doing now?"
Zhu Gaojie almost squirted out after drinking half of the drink. The old man was still looking for trouble!
These words were clearly meant to be used to punish the enemy, and Zhu Gaojie's government had already guessed the underlying meaning of the old man's words.
Yang Shiqi was demoted by the old man. Didn't he know that Yang Shiqi was no longer in the cabinet? I'm afraid the old man knew that Yang Shiqi was promoted by Zhu Gaojie and wanted to give Prince Qi's palace a try.
However, what Zhu Gaojie was a little unsure about was whether the old man felt that Prince Qi's palace was now powerful and wanted to hit him on its own, or whether he didn't care and just asked.
Damn it, the old man is really becoming more and more demonic as he gets older, and the water in his heart is getting deeper and deeper.
Zhu Gaojie was not sure, so he decided to test his hand: "Yang Shiqi, I remember seeing him at the banquet two days ago. He seemed to be something... the secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? From the ninth rank?"
Zhu Di pretended to be surprised: "Is this so? I heard that he has been moved to the position of governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and has been promoted several levels. Wenhua Palace directly issued an order."
The Wenhua Hall is the territory of Zhu Gaojie's supervisor. This is the old man poking at Zhu Gaojia's spine.
The old man knew it in such detail, and he must have understood almost everything inside, but he had been patiently not showing his true thoughts and purposes, and had been testing Zhu Gaojie.
The reason why Yang Shiqi couldn't lift it up was because the old man was holding him down. Now that Yang Shiqi was lifted up by Wenhua Palace without saying hello, he must give an explanation.
While Zhu Gaojie was testing the old man, the old man was also testing him.
The father and son seemed to be having nothing to do, chatting endlessly, but there were hidden secrets inside to test each other.
Zhu Gaojie changed the topic and said, "Is that so? I don't even know about this. I have been busy these two days and there are many government affairs in Wenhua Palace. I have neglected some things. I hope my father will forgive me."
His words kicked the ball back to Zhu Di and left him clean.
The people from the Wenhua Palace lifted Yang Shiqi up. How could I, a prince who supervises the country, pay attention to a small official of the ninth grade? I've worked hard for you, and you still have to ask about this matter?
In fact, of course the old man knew that if it weren't for King Qi's order, no one in the Wenhua Palace would have the guts to promote an official like Yang Shiqi who was on the "blacklist". However, King Qi had completely ignored him, and the old man was embarrassed.
Keep chasing.
"Yang Shiqi, it's time to promote him."
Zhu Di said calmly, "I know his talent, and you have done a good job in this matter. When Yang Shiqi committed a crime, I personally demoted him. Now it is not up to me to promote him. You come
Promotion is a good thing for the country and for me."
The old man couldn't help Zhu Gaojie now. He was thinking about what kind of bastard punch the old man was using this time. Why was he punching here and there and kicking him here and there? He was still testing it just now, but now he suddenly started talking about the real thing. The more he talked, the more he got more and more excited.
Lost in the lake.
He considered it and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I benefited from the appreciation of my father and was just appointed as the supervisor of the country. I only relied on my father's trust to be in power. Naturally, I have to share my father's worries and solve his problems. As a son, I have the right to do so."
Be filial to your father, and as a minister, you must do your best for Your Majesty."
Since you can't guess what the old man is thinking, let's follow the old man's words and see how many kilograms of weights are placed on the steel scale in the old man's mind.
Zhu Di listened very pleasantly and said happily: "You still understand me. My son has grown up, and it is much easier for me to be a father. In the future, with you by my side, my burden will be much lighter. Come on.
, let’s have another drink together.”
With that said, His Majesty the Emperor picked up the wine flask and filled the wine glasses in front of them.
Zhu Gaojie was suspicious of the old man's thoughts, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"By the way, there seems to be some problems over there in the southwest." Zhu Di suddenly said.
"Huh?" Zhu Gaojie became serious, "How could there be a problem in the southwest? We have deployed 100,000 elite Southwest troops in Jiaozhi, and in Yunnan we have Mucheng's Duke of Guizhou's government, which is at odds with each other. It stands to reason that
He said that it would be no problem for an army of this size to be stable for ten years."
Southwest is where Zhu Gaojie started his career, and he cares about it more than anyone else.
The 100,000 Southwest Army were more of a private army of Prince Qi than an army of the imperial court.
After the capture of Jiaozhi, all the troops belonging to the Beijing camp in the Southwest Army withdrew. Most of the remaining troops and senior generals were generals from the British government faction, and the British government in turn moved the military team
It was handed over to Prince Qi's Mansion.
With Zhang Fu's prestige at the time, it was no longer suitable for him to continue to hold power. He was at the height of his power in the southwest, and the higher he stood, the worse his death would be. Zhang Fu chose to save himself and withdraw at the most appropriate time, handing over power to Zhu Gaojie.
This is not a bad thing. He retreated bravely and returned power to the royal family. While he became successful and famous, he could enjoy his old age and benefit his descendants. At the same time, he was tied to Prince Qi's palace and stood in the right team.
Zhang Fu can be where he is today not only by his own military talent, but also by his extraordinary vision and courage.
"There are quite a lot of problems, both external and internal."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "External problems are mainly concentrated on the countries established by barbarians in the southwest. They sent me a letter saying that the leaders of these countries had a centralized meeting. However, the mountains are high in that place and the roads are far away. Our
The intelligence also failed to take root and understand the details.”
Zhu Gaojie nodded and said: "I asked Lu Chaoyang to check. Beizhen Fusi can still find out something. If Beizhen Fusi can't, then I will go to the south myself."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Di was a little surprised: "You are going to the southwest, are you too hasty?"
Zhu Gaojie said solemnly: "Annan Province is the imperial court's barrier in the southwest. In the future, Jiaozhi will be the only choice whether it is offensive or defensive, and there must be no mistakes. But now there is no general in charge of Annan Province, and the military morale has been shaken. We
Go there, it will be much safer there."
"There is no rush at this time. It will be fine for a while. Let's find some free time after the new year." Zhu Di said, "The most important thing at the moment is the internal problems of the Southwest Army."
Zhu Gaojie asked: "What problems are there within the Southwest Army?"
Zhu Di said: "The group of people you brought in Jianzhou Province, Koryo Province, and Yingzhou Province have all developed one after another. Only Annan Province, the earliest family, has not received any dividends. Over there
It is normal for people to be dissatisfied. In addition, the situation is becoming increasingly anxious, and some people's hearts have begun to become unable to calm down."
Zhu Gaojie was silent for a while.
The Southwest Army was the first army to follow him. However, the other three provinces he led have now climbed up rapidly. Only Annan Province has not seen any movement, and the court has no policy to give preferential treatment.
Therefore, the southwest side is also beginning to be a little dissatisfied. Why can't those of us who work the hardest get bonuses? Doesn't your court treat us as human beings?
"It doesn't matter, I will deal with these problems."
Zhu Gaojie thought for a while, "But now we can only delay. There are too many things in the capital, and we have to deal with them one by one. When I go to the southwest again, I will definitely eliminate these hidden dangers one by one."
"As long as you have an idea."
Zhu Di said meaningfully, "We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss us. Once we have solved this hidden danger, we will not leave it to future generations to worry about. If you need my help, I will not be stingy. I will stand in this position."
, I understand how difficult it is for you. I am very happy to have you, King Qi."
Zhu Gaojie suddenly felt a little strange, why did the old man speak so greasy and crookedly?
