Chapter 322 Looking north to Liaodong, a golden horse and an iron horse
Zhu Di frowned. He couldn't understand what kind of fun Emperor Taichang was doing.
Instead of establishing a crown prince, establish a son who is adopted by the eldest princess and serve as a general on that day?
Are you afraid that the country will not be in chaos?
But in Zhu Di's memory, Emperor Taichang was as wise as his father, Emperor Hengjing. Emperor Hengjing ruled all directions with one person and passed the empire to Emperor Taichang. But now it seems that Taichang
Is it true that the emperor is too old and too dim?
Did Emperor Hengjing make a mistake?
[You don’t understand the profound meaning of Emperor Taichang’s move.]
[In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, appointed Qin King Li Shimin as General Tiance, which eventually led to a revolution in the Xuanwu Sect. This taught everyone a lesson. General Tiance should not be given the title lightly. This is a man who can compete with the prince.
position.]
[However, now there is no crown prince or three princes in the Taichang Dynasty. The status of General Tiance is only under the emperor. Rumors are spreading in the capital. Some people say that Emperor Taichang deliberately passed the throne to the King of Liao. 】
【But for you, you have no ambition to compete for the throne.】
[You have no interest in governing the world. You just want to govern Liaodong left behind by the eldest princess so that your adoptive mother can rest in peace.]
[Liaodong is located at the throat of the Ming Dynasty. It controls Shanhaiguan in the west, Jianzhou Province in the north, Koryo Province in the east, and Liaodong Bay in the south. More than 100,000 Liaodong troops are stationed here, all of whom were elite soldiers who followed the eldest princess in the Eastern Expedition.
, the late emperor took care of his eldest daughter. Whenever the Ming Academy of Sciences developed a new type of weapon, it would be given priority to equip it with the Liaodong Army.】
[The biggest trump card that the eldest princess has left for you is the Liaodong Navy.]
[The Liaodong Navy inherited Zheng He’s fleet and continued to expand it on the original scale of Zheng He’s fleet. It made an unparalleled contribution to the Ming Dynasty’s Eastern Expedition. The Ming army’s landing in the west relied on the Ming Dynasty to remain invincible at sea.
Liaodong Navy.]
[Liaodong has the most cutting-edge Liaodong Shipyard in the Ming Dynasty, which has gathered a large number of scientific research talents from the Academy of Sciences. However, scientific research requires a lot of funds. It is not enough to just have scientific research talents and technology. You also need a lot of funds to maintain scientific research in Liaodong.
status.】
[As early as the Yongle Dynasty, your grandfather Zhu Gaojie had already led the army to incorporate the entire Northeast into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, Liaodong has no longer been a military town, but has become an independent province to absorb the population and focus on developing the economy.
】
[Liaodong is closely related to Jianzhou and Goryeo provinces, and is called the "Three Northeastern Provinces". During the period when you were the lord of Liaodong, Liaodong developed rapidly. Whether it was farming or commerce, it was with Jianzhou from the very beginning.
Prefectures and Korea developed in a coordinated manner. So far, Liaodong has become the big brother of the three northeastern provinces.]
[You have single-handedly brought Liaodong to such a glorious height, but you have no sense of accomplishment.]
【From the beginning to now, you have always regarded this as a task.】
【Completing a task is nothing to be proud of for you.】
[Things that are extremely difficult in the eyes of others seem to be just light clouds in your hands, which can be kneaded at will. After doing everything, there is a huge feeling of emptiness in your heart. You are a little confused and don’t know yourself.
What’s the next step?]
[Just retiring in Liaodong and waiting to die? 】
[Perhaps, for you, this is the best destination. You are looking forward to meeting the eldest princess underground. 】
[However, when Emperor Taichang appointed you as Tiance General, you knew that you might not be able to meet the eldest princess in a short time. 】
[The emperor's eldest son, King Yu, and his second son, King Heng, who are fighting lively in the capital, have turned off the fire and ceased fighting. Everyone's eyes are focused on you, with ill intentions, just like a pack of wolves eyeing a lamb.
】
[The lamb that was targeted by the wolves not only showed no fear or panic, but was actually a little...excited?]
【Yes, excited.】
[After realizing that you have become the common goal of everyone, your long-quiet heart finally reignites, and you have an inexplicable desire to challenge. 】
【You want to trample everyone under your feet!】
Zhu Di's expression became strange: "Isn't this a serious illness?"
After being regarded as an enemy by others, you become happy instead?
As expected of you, Zhu Gaojie's grandson, he is a lunatic just like you!
Wait... Emperor Taichang doesn't seem to be a normal person...
Three generations of grandparents are all crazy!
Family inheritance?!
Zhu Di couldn't accept this reality, so he continued to do something to vent his depression.
"Tang Cheng! Little Chengzi, come here!"
Tang Cheng, who was waiting on the side, heard this and trotted over, rolling and crawling: "Your Majesty, what do you want to tell your servant?"
Zhu Di thought for a while and asked: "I am very unhappy now, can you give me a good fight to vent my anger?"
Tang Cheng fell silent.
Look, is this human language?
Are you unhappy and want to beat me to vent your anger?
How can I, an old man like you, be beaten to pieces by someone as powerful as you?
Tang Cheng had an idea and asked: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Bachelor Jie?"
Zhu Di tilted his head and thought: "Jie Jin? Is he still alive?"
Tang Cheng said quickly: "Of course Xie Xueshi is still alive. He is living well. He is eating and drinking well in Zhao Prison, just waiting for His Majesty's favor."
He pointed the finger at Jie Jin, as if flattering His Majesty the Emperor and said: Your Majesty, look, this Jie Jin is your exclusive decompressor, you can catch him alone and hammer him, and don't harm the fish pond.
It's on the slave.
Zhu Di pondered and said: "It is my command to strike that Xie Jin with twenty big boards!"
Bachelor Xie is still a loyal person!
You have been holding on to death just so that you can vent your anger to me one day. It’s not easy, it’s so touching!
A good saint and grandson will be prosperous for three generations.
Woof woof woof!
…
Zhao Prison.
Jie Jin opened his eyes with difficulty. He had just fallen asleep and had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he saw Zhu Di's ferocious smile in his dream. He waved his hand and said softly: Beat!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is unbearable!
Just fucking catch me Jie Jin and beat him up alone, right?
I stayed well in Zhao Prison. Why did I offend you? Why do you come and beat me every once in a while? I owed you in my previous life?
Jie Jin feels wronged and feels bitter in his heart. He no longer thinks about getting out of prison. He also heard in prison that Zhu Gaochi has fallen. Even if he is released from Zhao prison, he will not be able to continue doing what he did before.
The chief minister of the cabinet with a "low position and power".
"I heard that the current chief minister of the cabinet is that boy Yang Rong. Yang Rong betrayed his trust and defected from the eldest prince's family and joined the family of King Qi... Wait a minute, he is no longer King Qi, he is the prince. Damn it, this
You are not a son of a man, you are a villain!"
While cursing, Xie Xueshi thought, "Even Yang Rong can become the chief minister of the cabinet. Does it mean that as long as I, Xie Jin, are willing to work for the prince, I can also walk out of Zhao prison and rise to the top? After all, compared to him, I, Jie Jin
Yang Rong, he has done more than he deserves... Wait, if I think so, am I a bit sorry for His Highness the First Prince?"
"It's not a big problem. The eldest prince's body can't live for more than a few years. What I'm doing now is not called betrayal. What I'm calling is choosing a master and serving him."
Just as Jie Jin was thinking wildly, the sound of footsteps was heard in the dark Zhao Prison.
Scholar Xie suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
No, no, no, I have followed Jin Yiwei to the Zhao Prison in Beijing. Will the Fourth Master still miss me?
Wait, that fourth master seems to be in Beijing now?
"Is this the hotel?"
"That's right, it's Xie Jin who is in custody there."
"Okay, bring the person out."
The chains of the prison were removed, and the clanking sound of steel was like a ghost dragging the chains towards Jie Jin. His expression changed drastically, and he was terrified, as if he had seen the King of Hell.
A guard in Jin Yi came in and looked Xie Jin up and down: "Young man, Bachelor Xie, you are still alive. Okay, just in time, come out with me for a walk."
Jie Jin shook his head wildly: "No, no, no, that's not necessary. I'm fine in Zhao Prison. I have food and drink. I won't go out. Please ask for someone else!"
If someone had asked him to come out when he first entered Zhao Prison, he would have been ecstatic.
But now that he has matured, he is no longer the young and ignorant Jie Jin that he was back then.
Every time he walked out of prison, he was beaten up and thrown back. Whoever liked to do such stupid things would do it!
It's very good in Zhao Prison. Your Majesty, please don't contact me. I'm afraid the jailer will misunderstand me.
The jailer is not a good person either!
I beat him to death every time, but I never beat him to death!
"It's not up to you."
The jailer from Beizhen Fusi dragged Xie Jin out.
Jie Jin resisted desperately and shouted: "If I don't go out, I just like squatting in Zhao Prison. Don't worry about me, I just want to go to Big Prison!"
"Someone come and save me!"
Obviously, Xie Xueshi, a weak scholar with no strength in his hands, could not compare with the tall and strong jailer. He was dragged out in three strokes. Xie Xueshi looked like he had no love for life.
.
After being dragged for a while, Bachelor Xie looked up and saw, eh, something strange.
"Where's Lao Lu, who are you?"
Xie Jin felt a little baffled.
The man said gently: "I, Zhang Muzhi, the commander of Jinyiwei, would like to inform Xie Xie that Mr. Lu has been promoted to the rank of tax inspector. Although he still holds the position of commander of Jinyiwei's North and South Town Fu Division, he is no longer in Jinyiwei."
It’s a bad job.”
Xie Jin sighed melancholy: "Old Lu is gone too. I once worked with him as a tax supervisor? What kind of position is this? I have never heard of it. Alas, I think he is an unknown one."
"Little official. Lao Lu is a very nice person and has a good relationship with me, but now he is demoted to a small official and a small official. It is really sad that the world has changed."
Zhang Muzhi reminded: "Xie Xie has misunderstood. Mr. Lu is going to be promoted. The tax inspector is a newly established departmental official in the imperial court. He is as famous as the six ministers and has the rank of second grade."

Xie Jin: "..."
Why do I pity him, Lu Chaoyang!
Those who follow the prince have been promoted steadily. From being a cannon fodder in a small vanguard camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, to being favored by the fourth prince Zhu Gaojie, in just a few years, he has been promoted to the position of a second-rank official with real power.
On the other hand, Jie Jin, who had been in Zhao Prison for more than ten years, still pitied Lu Chaoyang. Why was he pitiful? Who could pity him more?
Xie Jin looked Zhang Muzhi up and down. This brother Zhang spoke in a friendly manner. He was definitely not here to criticize him. He should be easy to get along with.
He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang, if nothing happens, I will go back to my room first. See you later."
Jie Jin turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Muzhi.
"Scholar Xie, please stay. Your Majesty has a message!"
Zhang Muzhi suddenly made a voice and wanted to stop Xie Jin. Who would have thought that after hearing this voice, Xie Jin would immediately run to the cell without looking back, as if he was hearing a magic voice.
Jie Jin, who was originally thin, was like a red rabbit possessed by a horse. He returned to his cell at lightning speed and reached out to lift the chain to lock the cell.
Fortunately, Zhang Muzhi reacted quickly and was very skilled. He strode forward and raised his hand to knock off Bachelor Xie's hand. He grabbed the chain and forcefully pulled Xie Jin out of the cell.
Xie Xueshi yelled: "I won't fucking come out. If I come out, you'll beat me. Just let me die in there. I'd rather die in the cell than come out and be beaten!"
Zhang Muzhi looked at the jailer expressionlessly: "There is no need for me to recite the instructions. You are all old men who have served Xie Xueshi for many years. You should know what to do."
"This time it's a twenty-big board, let's just hit it."
Scholar Xie lay on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
What crime did I commit that caused Your Majesty to be obsessed with me so much?
In Zhao Prison, the pitiful screams of a certain great scholar were heard. The sound was like the cry of the Three Gorges apes, a tragic wail that was horrifying.
…
Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief: "Xie Jin is still an honest man. He knows that I still need him, so he has always stood firm."
I have to say that Bachelor Xie really resists being beaten.
If it were anyone else who had been beaten for three days and two, even if he could still bear it physically, he would have collapsed mentally and wanted to die. However, Bachelor Xie was different. He not only resisted the beating physically, but was also mentally tenacious.
Persistently serve as "Zhu Di's exclusive decompressor".
After beating Jie Jin, Zhu Di felt much better and continued to watch the simulation.
[You pretend to be invisible to the capital’s overt intentions and continue to develop Liaodong.]
[With the status of General Tiance, you can cultivate your own power in Tiance Mansion more conveniently and quickly.]
[You established your own Tiance Mansion in Liaodong and recruited capable ministers from all over the world. Regardless of whether they are strangers or ordinary people, as long as they are talented, you can take them under your command. 】
[This year, you found two people who resigned and returned home to become your right-hand men, one in charge of politics and the other in charge of the army.]
[The person who manages the government is named Li Bing.]
[The man in charge of the army is named Xiang Zhong.]
[They were repeatedly squeezed out in the early years of Taichang and were forced to resign. Now that Tiance Mansion has been established in Liaodong, they seem to have seen hope again. 】
[You stand on Liaoyang City, look at the soldiers of Liaodong, look at the sky high and the clouds are blue, and you can't help but chant:]
"Looking north to Liaodong, there is a golden sword and an iron horse. Don't lose your sharpness in the great calamity. If you survive, you will live forever. If you retreat, you will be wiped out. With eyebrows raised, it is difficult to calm down. Wine is like moonlight in the throat. The suspicion of others is like a will-o'-the-wisp at night.
,Crossing mountains and rivers single-handedly!"]
[Even if you know that the road ahead is full of thorns, why should you be afraid?]
[You are the direct grandson of Emperor Shizuwu, the adopted son of the eldest princess, and the heir of Shizu of the Ming Dynasty. You have never been a coward!]
