The expressions of the officials in the palace were wonderful, some frowned in thought, some looked horrified, and some were in high spirits. It should be noted that throughout the ages, no monarch of the Central Plains dynasty has ever said such a thing!
Wherever the river reaches, it is the land of the Ming Dynasty!
"This is not just a boast!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You are all wise ministers who are familiar with history books. Think about it, can there be a dynasty in the world for ten thousand years? All dynasties have been turned upside down in just more than two hundred years."
"Why?"
"Besides the foolish king and traitorous ministers, the corruption of the government, and natural and man-made disasters, what is the biggest problem?"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked at Liu Sanwu and others among the ministers, "I said it in the university hall that day, it's because of the land!"
"Once the country has been at peace for a hundred years, the land will be annexed. Annexation is the beginning of all evil!"
"Natural disasters, corruption, land annexation, and national power are empty. If there is another foolish king, the people will be in dire straits and chaos will arise everywhere!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi sighed, "For a long time, the emperor would rather bear the infamy than to kill the officials all over the world. What he wants to prevent is the corruption of official administration. The purpose of doing light corvee and low taxes is to allow people to have more food in their families without having to pay taxes or pay taxes.
Natural disaster, land sold at a low price."
"Gu, I am not as good as Emperor Qin and Han Wu Xiongcai in the mainland. I am not as good as Grandpa Huang, who came from the common people and knows the sufferings of the people and the desolation of the world! Gu, there is only one stupid way!"
"Try your best to make the Ming Dynasty's land larger. The larger the territory, the more fields the people can cultivate."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi suddenly became emotional, "I still remember that after my father passed away, I met many beggars on the street for the first time when I left the palace. After returning to the palace, the emperor asked me, what did you see outside?"
"Gu said, prosperous times, hunger!"
"At that time, Grandpa Huang's face suddenly collapsed and he didn't eat for several days!"
"Gu, I don't want to be a king with great military exploits, let alone a unique king." Zhu Yunxi said seriously, "Gu, what I want to do in the future is to be a king who will let all the people in the world have land and no longer be hungry!
"
"Your Highness is caring about the common people in the world, which is the welfare of the people in the world." Ling Han, the official minister, said excitedly, "Your Highness, your benevolence is here, let's look forward to the prosperous Ming Dynasty! I am not talented, I am old, and I have exhausted my talents to tolerate my stupidity.
I will fully assist His Highness!"
In an instant, all the ministers in the palace bowed down and said, "I will assist Your Highness in building the great cause of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at them and said, "It's easy to say that. For thousands of years, China has not been able to achieve that everyone has land to farm and everyone has food to eat. For thousands of years, it has been easier said than done!"
"To build such a great cause, there is a long way to go!"
"Such great achievements cannot be accomplished by one person!"
"Our monarchs and ministers are united as one. If we can't do it in one year, we will do it in ten years. If we can't do it in ten years, we will do it in twenty years. My dear friends, this road is difficult. Please encourage me to move forward!"
The ministers in the palace responded loudly.
Outside the hall, the old man listening to the wall laughed so hard that his beard stood up.
His smile was full of relief and joy.
Let everyone in the world have land and food to eat. Not only is it the most difficult thing for a king to do, it is even better than the so-called great martial arts.
"That's right, cheer up! Be energetic!"
The old man turned around and walked out with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself, "Our eldest grandson's ambition is so high! What the hell is it that the second son of Emperor Qin and Han Wu Li can fight? Damn it, look at our eldest grandson, he can fight.
He is also virtuous and loves the people, and he is so damn ambitious!"
Thinking about it, he let out a beautiful sound in his mouth.
Suddenly, the old man wanted to show off to someone. He thought that Sun Zhi in our family was as tall as the sky. But when he looked around, there was no one around him except Pu Bucheng.
As soon as I walked out of the East Palace, I caught a glimpse of a person walking behind the eunuch in the passage, with his head lowered and walking slowly. It seemed that a foreign minister was going to the East Palace to pay a visit. When the person got closer, the old man saw clearly that the person was none other than Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.
.
"Call him over!" the old man said to Pu Bucheng.
Li Jinglong also saw the old man, and without waiting for Manager Park to speak, he came over quickly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Jinglong!" After saying that, he raised his head and said with some emotion, "My lord, I haven't seen your Majesty for half a year. Your Majesty, please cut back!" At this point, he rubbed his eyes and said, "I heard that,
Your Majesty, you personally go to the fields to tend the crops. I boldly say, Your Majesty, please don’t be tired. Although it looks warm now, it is autumn after all."
Then he rambled and said, "While I was away fighting, I handed over some fine leather goods. When I get back, I'll ask my family to make some fur robes and fur mattresses for Your Majesty, and bring them to you!"
After all, he is a member of his own family. His bones are broken and his tendons are connected. When they meet him, he is not as frightened as others, but he cares about his own body.
The old man's heart warmed up, and he smiled softly, "There is no shortage of anything in the palace, as long as you have this filial piety!" As he said that, he laughed, "You are a great old man, and you are a general who has led troops to fight and made great achievements.
, don’t keep crying and peeing and howling!”
Before Li Jinglong could reply, the old man said again, "Are you going to see our eldest grandson? He is busy and has no time, so you should go for a walk with us first!"
It was a great gift to accompany the old man for a walk. Li Jinglong stood up in a hurry, not even cleaning the dust on his knees, and quietly followed behind the old man.
"We read the military reports about your battle on the grassland. It was a good fight. It didn't ruin your father's reputation. That's great!" The old man said in a casual conversation, "Our eldest grandson didn't misjudge the person either.
, your boy is still somewhat capable!"
"I'm just going to die!" Li Jinglong replied, "Actually, I'm not very good at leading troops in battles. I just have a loyalty in my heart that is willing to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty. I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. In fact, when the war started, I was a little trembling.
.”
"Yes!" The old man nodded and said, "This is true. After all, you grew up in Beijing and lacked fighting experience."
"But as long as I think of your majestic face, the earnest expectations of His Royal Highness the Grandson, and the fact that there have been no cowards in the Li family for generations, I will no longer be afraid!" Li Jinglong said loudly, "At worst, I will die in battle.
Well, the Emperor and His Highness will naturally take revenge on me."
"Okay, okay!" The old man nodded repeatedly, "You juniors are all motivated and loyal. We are very pleased. It is not in vain for us to look up to you!"
At this time, the old man walked to a flower bed and was about to sit down on the stone bench.
"Your Majesty, please wait!" Li Jinglong took a step forward, took off his robe, folded it and placed it on the stone bench, "Your Majesty, Liang, I will give you a cushion!"
"Nonsense!" the old man yelled, "How can the minister's court uniform be used as a seat cushion for us?"
Li Jinglong knelt down and said, "I am your nephew and grandson first, and then your minister. It is my filial piety to use my robe as a cushion for you!"
The old man smiled again and sat down slowly.
On the side, Pu Bucheng looked at Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, the corners of his eyes trembled inadvertently a few times, and thought to himself, "If Cao Guogong is a man in the palace, what can he do to the miscellaneous family with his cleverness?"
"You accompanied the emperor's grandson to inspect the military affairs of Guan and Shaanxi, and everything went smoothly?" the old man said casually.
When Li Jinglong mentioned this, he immediately became more distracted. He must not talk about King Qin's affairs.
"Back to the emperor, everything went well. The emperor inspected the racecourse outside the mouth and the military guards in various places!"
"Let's chat, you don't have to be so cautious!" The old man said with a smile, "Just now you were talking about us as juniors, now it's up to you and your ministers to play the right game, so be more casual!"
After saying that, he paused and said, "You and the emperor's grandson walked all the way. Did you find anything interesting?"
Yes or no?
Li Jinglong thought about it in his mind.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "After I met the emperor's grandson in Peiping, I just fought all the way. It's really not interesting!"
"The huge fire in Prince Qin's palace is not an interesting thing?" the old man suddenly said with a smile.
With a thud, Li Jinglong's heart twitched and he almost died of fright.
Dong-dong-dong, he kowtowed to the stone slab, and his forehead turned green after just a few taps.
"Okay, we don't blame you!" The old man waved his hand, "You did the right thing in that matter! Yes, you have merit!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong almost cried in fear.
"We all know the matter. You have fulfilled the uncle-nephew relationship between the grandson and the King of Qin." The old man crossed his legs and said.
"My lord, I know nothing but loyalty!" Li Jinglong continued to kowtow.
It's so scary. The emperor actually knows so clearly about Xi'an Mansion. Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid that day, otherwise how could the old man talk to him so kindly now.
"You continue to hold the official position of commander of the pro-army army in front of the palace." The old man looked at him and said again, "You have done meritorious service in the expedition. Your title has come to an end and can no longer be given to you. Let's give him the position of chief military officer of the capital camp.
You, lead the troops well and serve the emperor's grandson well!"
In an instant, Li Jinglong was ecstatic.
The chief military officer of the capital camp is responsible for the defense of the capital. This position was previously held by the Chang family and was very popular among military generals, but now it suddenly fell on him.
"Remember your words!" the old man continued, "Loyal servant!"
Boom, boom, Li Jinglong kowtowed heavily.

You have to have a good health. Yesterday I ate a few dead crabs, which almost killed me.
I have been vomiting and vomiting since morning, even after drinking water, and I have no strength at all. I originally asked the editor-in-chief if I could take leave today, and the editor-in-chief agreed.
But when I think about these readers who are so handsome that they love to see flowers blooming, watching mountains fall, rivers drying up, chickens dying, dogs turning upside down, I feel guilty.
I endured the physical and mental shock and forced myself to write a chapter, which was better than nothing. During one chapter, I had bowel movements three times and vomited four times. It was so uncomfortable.
Yesterday Tomato interviewed me, and the operations officer was a young lady with a very nice voice. She was gentle when she spoke, and nice when she smiled. Hey, he's still my fellow countryman...
