Chapter 67 The Strongest Soldier and Horse in History
After Liu Bowen and the others left, Zhu Bai still wanted to struggle, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a grimace: "My son, I want to accompany my father and eldest brother to watch the memorial. The Military and Horse Division is too complicated, and it is not something I, a child, can do.
"
"How many memorials have you read in a day?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, and then darkened his face, "Besides, this matter will not delay you from reading the memorials."
Zhu Bai looked confused: "Ang? I can't split it into two halves."
In the morning, I have classes at the main hall, in the afternoon I have to read memorials, practice martial arts, go to Liu Bowen to learn fortune-telling, and learn scriptures from the old monk.
Now he is still asked to take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, even if he is divided into eight parts, it will not be enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The five cities' military divisions each have their own commanders, and your brother is in charge. You just need to wait for them to run into trouble and help them come up with ideas."
Zhu Bai frowned: "If the Soldiers and Horses Division arrests someone, even if the evidence is conclusive, they still have to be sent to the Punishment Department for a decision. This is also troublesome. If all these matters are sent to the Punishment Department, the Prisons of the Punishment Department may be overcrowded. The Soldiers and Horses Division is too hard-working, and the Punishment Department will
We have to blame him; the Military and Horse Department did not act, and my father wants to blame him. Isn’t this a dilemma?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and suddenly realized that this was also a difficulty that the commanders could not express.
Moreover, the Criminal Department is no longer under the control of the Military and Horse Division. If people are released for personal gain, the arrests will be endless and they will never be able to catch them all, and they will offend people in vain.
He said: "If the evidence is conclusive and it is a serious crime other than death, relocation or detention, and it is just a fine and a slap in the face, then it is up to the Military and Horse Division to make its own decision. I will give you this power, is that okay?"
Zhu Biao's mouth pursed into a straight line: It's not a matter of rights or not. The key point is that I just want to be a idle prince, and unlike my brothers who have the ambition to guard the border and govern the vassal. Why do I want to get involved in such a thankless thing?!
Zhu Yuanzhang added: "With this title of commander-in-chief, I will give you a tooth tag. You can go to the palace whenever you want."
Zhu Bai immediately smiled: "Hey?! Really?"
My father still understands me.
In this way, I will patrol each military division for one day and go wherever there is fun.
"Look at how hopeless you are, crying and laughing now and then." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't laugh or cry, "You can go out, but you must bring wealth with you."
Zhu Bai tilted his head: "Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you think Fugui is an ordinary person? The personal eunuchs I sent to protect you are all first-class masters."
"Roar!"
Zhu Bai suddenly turned around and glanced at the little eunuch who was smiling and looking at the sparrows outside the door.
Fugui looks delicate and frail, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old...
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
-----
The emperor issued an order to make the adjustment of the Military and Horse Division public to the court.
There was an uproar in the government and the public.
With six princes and three first-grade ministers as assistants, it is definitely the most powerful military commander in history.
The key is that with so many people, a seven-year-old prince can take charge.
People who didn't know about it said that Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and doted on his young son too much.
Those who knew about it all went to the commander of the army and horse division they knew: other princes are fine, but beware of King Xiang.
This kid never plays his cards according to common sense. Many ministers in the DPRK have suffered from his mistakes.
The six princes received their dental cards and came back from the main hall. They gathered together to discuss how to manage the Military and Horse Division, and invited Zhu Biao to listen.
Firstly, Zhu Biao is the oldest after all and can give out ideas. Secondly, Zhu Biao is the person Lao Zhu trusts most. Inviting Zhu Biao over is equivalent to inviting Lao Zhu over.
Zhu Bai originally wanted to run away, but Zhu Biao held him down and sat aside, so he could only play with his Kongming Suo.
Zhu Fan shook his head and sighed: "The market in Zhongcheng is the biggest, so that's a big trouble."
Zhu Zhen looked sad: "Nancheng is full of temples, how can we take care of the affairs of the monks?"
Zhu Rui looked at a loss: "From what you said, I think all the people living in Dongcheng are high-ranking officials in the court, so I should...don't worry about it."
Zhu Fang smiled: "Look at you all, we will have to take charge of a vassal prince in the future, who is much bigger than Yingtian. Now I feel worried, what should I do in the future?"
Zhu Di didn't say anything. In fact, the North City he was in charge of was also responsible for the security of the palace's perimeter, which was the most important thing.
I don’t know if Lao Zhu arranged it this way...
When the palace was completed and inspected before, everyone said that the feng shui was good, but he was very worried.
Lao Zhu asked him for his opinion again and again, and then he revealed what was in his heart: "Being condescending on the Purple Mountain and facing the Imperial City is not conducive to the defense of the Imperial City."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang changed his face at that time, Zhu Di did not feel that he was wrong.
What a good general should do is to nip problems in the bud.
With such a huge weakness right there, he couldn't ignore it.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not blame him later and said that he had military talents.
This time Lao Zhu gave him the task of protecting the perimeter of the palace to give him a chance to prove his loyalty and ability.
Zhu Biao said to Zhu Di warmly: "Brother knows that you don't like to talk. But now is the time to discuss important matters, so you still have to speak out if you have any ideas."
Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "This matter must be difficult to handle. Otherwise, the emperor would not send us. It is useless for us to discuss it here until dark. It is better to go to the commander and ask about the situation. They may not be
The lack of ability may just be because I don’t want to offend others.”
Zhu Bai raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di: It must be me, Emperor Yongle.
These big brothers said that it takes a stick of incense, but Zhu Di's words are not as effective.
What is the first rule when entering the workplace? Ask your seniors for their opinions!
What is the first step when entering the battlefield? Survey the enemy!
It's useless to sit here and discuss it.
You have to go and see it on site to understand exactly what problem you are facing.
Several other princes finally came to their senses and agreed, then stood up and prepared to go.
Zhu Bai also got up.
Zhu Biao smiled: "Where do my twelfth brother plan to go?"
Zhu Bai grinned: "I will go wherever my fourth brother goes."
Among these princes, Zhu Di is the most famous. Since he wants to watch the excitement, he naturally follows the Internet celebrity with the largest traffic.
Zhu Di glanced at him: "You can come with me, but I promise not to run around alone."
Zhu Bai: "Okay. I'll take the wealth with me."
Along the way, Zhu Di briefly talked to Zhu Bai about the composition of the Yingtianfu city wall.
Yingtian Mansion is actually composed of four circles.
The outermost one is called Wai Guo.
From the outside to the inside are the inner city wall, the imperial city, and the palace wall.
On that day, when Zhu Bai and the others pulled out the flag, they actually entered the palace from Chengtian Gate in the imperial city, and then ran inside the palace wall.
Although it is the smallest circle, it covers an area of more than one square kilometer.
In fact, the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is in charge of matters within the walls of Yingtian Mansion and outside the Imperial City.
The North City Soldiers and Horses Department is located near Shence Gate, and its jurisdiction is roughly from Shence Gate to Chaoyang Gate, including most of the imperial city wall.
Zhu Di deliberately did not ride a horse and walked leisurely in Beicheng while watching.
Zhu Bai followed him with his hands behind his back.
Although Zhu Di is quite tall, he is only fifteen years old after all.
Zhu Bai is even worse. You can't even see him unless you look down.
Those who knew also knew that the newly appointed Assistant Director and Commander-in-Chief of Beicheng Military and Horse Division were inspecting the territory.
Those who didn't know better thought the two children were hanging out.
