Yunxi said what he said, once again surprising those who were listening nearby. But this time they all quickly realized that Yunxi's handling of the matter was a very good way.
Zhu Xianyang felt very grateful. He was not stupid. Although he didn't think very clearly, he knew that Yunxi must have political considerations. However, no matter how many political considerations Yunxi had, the result was that Zhu Xianyang benefited, so
He was very grateful to Yunxi.
Now that the legislative obstacles are gone, Zhu Xianyao himself hopes to make some contributions to stabilize his position as prince, so Zhu Xianyao knelt down and replied: "My brother accepts the order."
Yunxi immediately helped him up and said, "We are a family, why are we kneeling down?"
Zhu Xianyao said: "Brother Emperor, although we are a family, since I was appointed as commander-in-chief by Brother Emperor, I should use military salutes this time and should not use clan etiquette."
"When I formally pay homage to the general before setting off for the expedition, my brother will have to march and bow before me."
Yunxi was both happy and worried. Zhu Xianyang knelt down to worship him. What he was happy about was that it showed that he actually respected himself as the emperor in his heart and had to abide by the rules. What was worrying was that Zhu Xianyang might compete with Cao Zhen for command in order to express himself.
, and Yunxi was actually unwilling to give up command power.
But it’s hard to talk about this matter in front of so many people now, so I can only talk about it privately when I have time.
In addition to taking Zhu Xianyao as the commander-in-chief, Yunxi also took other measures to show his continued trust in the clan.
After Yunxi finished talking to Zhu Xianyao, he said to the clan members who were watching: "Shang Lie, Ji Ye, Ji Ji, Youjuan, Meng Jiong, Gao Xu, you guys are also coming over. Then the others dispersed.
Come on, why are they all piled up here?"
Although everyone has a strong desire to listen to gossip, those who were not named still dispersed. Those who had classes went to prepare for the next class, and those who did not have classes returned home honestly. At this time, it was not
Don't dare to do anything special.
Yunxi took these six people to Qianqing Palace with Zhu Xianyao, and then Yunxi asked them all to sit down and said: "Zhu Xianyao is determined to be the commander-in-chief, but when the emperor was here, he trusted several uncles very much.
Let them unite the troops to fight several times."
"Of course I want to follow Grandpa Huang's example. And you are the braver ones in the clan, so Brother Huang decided to let you go into battle too!"
"Are you willing?"
How could they not be willing? The reason why they practice martial arts diligently and are familiar with military books is because they want to imitate their fathers in commanding troops to fight! Of course, Zhu Jiyi is not among them. He initially wanted to please Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Fan. But they kept practicing.
Then I really fell in love with martial arts and the art of war.
So everyone immediately nodded and said: "Yes!"
Yunxi didn't waste much time and said directly: "Okay, brother Huang, I'll take the order. Youjuan, you are the second son of the fifth uncle, and the fifth uncle himself only likes flowers and plants, and you only like stew."
Opera poetry.”
"I'm not saying that being fond of medicine and music is useless. Brother Emperor, I have been encouraging the disillusioned scholars among the people to study medicine, and I have also organized down-and-out literati to write various operas to popularize the law. These are all of great use."
"But it's useless when there's a war. So you have to take Ji Xi to Kaifeng, and together with Cao Xing, the commander of Henan, command the three guards of the King of Zhou in the west, at least to prevent the rebels from entering Henan."
You said happily: "Yes, brother Huang, I will definitely not let a rebel enter the river!"
Yunxi warned: "It's not you, it's Cao Xing. After all, you are still young and have never fought in a war. This time the emperor asked you to follow the war mainly to learn, not to command the war. You can't act randomly."
Firstly, what Yunxi said made sense, and Youjuan had nothing to refute. Secondly, Cao Xing, the commander of Henan City, was regarded as a hero and a veteran and was able to hold down the formation, so Youjuan said: "It's Brother Huang, I understand."
Now that he understood everything, Ji Yi, who was already under the influence, did not dare to raise any objections.
Yunxi actually didn't like Jiyi very much and thought he was too arrogant, but there were only a few martial people in the clan, so he couldn't get rid of Jiyi.
Yunxi then turned around and said to the remaining people: "Shang Lie, Ji Ye, Meng Jiong, Gao Xu, the four of you will follow Zhu Xianyao and go north to put down the rebellion."
"But you must pay attention to safety. As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Xianyao cannot take the lead in the charge, but since you are a general, you must follow the general's regulations and cannot shrink back. However, you must pay attention to safety." Yunxi was not willing to do so. Making people think that he deliberately sent his brothers to death.
Several people agreed with a bang. They were still young, and some were not yet married, so they naturally cherished their lives.
Yunxi emphasized again that we must not only ensure safety, but also let the soldiers see the clan leading troops to charge. They cannot just serve as staff in the camp. "If someone has never led troops to charge, then I will remove him immediately as soon as I know Call back from the front line!"
Everyone immediately agreed again. Yunxi then asked Gao Xu and others to go down, leaving only Zhu Xianyao alone.
Yunxi then gave Zhu Xianyao some instructions: "Zhu Xianyao, I appointed Cao Zhen as the deputy commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion army. As you know, Cao Zhen is one of the most experienced people in the Ming Dynasty. Don't be a self-righteous commander." The army should listen more to Cao Zhen, learn from Cao Zhen's command, and prepare for future wars under its own command."
Although Yunxi's words were cryptic, he actually meant that Zhu Xianyao should not get involved in war command matters and just be a nominal commander.
Of course Zhu Xianyao was reluctant, but Cao Zhen had high prestige, was a veteran general, and was the father-in-law of Yunxi's sister, so he couldn't afford to offend him, so he replied: "I understand, brother."
Yunxi comforted Zhu Xianyao for a few more words, and then let him go down.
Yunxi was about to think about what to do next, when Xie Jin walked in.
Just last month, rural examinations were held across the country, even in Jinan, Shandong Province where there was a rebellion. The rural examination itself is generally not very important, but the Zhili area is special. Although the importance of this examination is not high, the person responsible for presiding over the examination Choice is very important.
Historically, Yunwen made Fang Xiaoru the examiner and admitted a group of people with similar views to him. Although Yunxi respected Fang Xiaoru and Fang Xiaoru now had a high status, Yunxi would not let him preside over the provincial examination.
But it was difficult to let people from the Sixth Department preside over it, and Yunxi was afraid that giving it to the auxiliary officials would increase their power, so he finally chose Xie Jin as the examiner. The official position is not high, so he is very suitable to be the examiner of the provincial examination.
Now that the grading of the provincial examination has ended, Xie Jin showed Yunxi the examination papers of the successful candidates.
Yunxi didn't really care. He just looked at it casually. Yunxi would take a serious look at it during next year's examination.
