Chapter 405 Military Meeting in the Fields
In the palace, the lanterns have been turned on.
In the side hall of Kunning Palace, the emperor and empress were also having dinner, and the scene was relatively simple.
"The thirteenth daughter-in-law also cooks for the fourteenth and fifteenth sons. She is quite a sister-in-law." Yang Qingyin couldn't help but praise.
"It's not bad that she has no complaints these days. She puts down her body to do those rough jobs, which can be regarded as living up to the love of Old Thirteen," Zhu Xianming said slowly.
"You really plan to let Lao Shisan stay in Shanglinyuan for seven or eight months"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianming calmly said, "Let's see again"
"The thirteenth daughter-in-law has been staying in Kunning Palace for a long time. I know that she has always been a considerate person. If you try to find fault with her, I'm afraid you will fail."
"You have to try to find out. Only then can you pass." Let’s wait for a few more days.”
Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Zhu Xianming continued, “Laoliu’s family has been restless these past two days, so you have to say something to her.”
” It's rare to see you dissatisfied with Lao Liu's family," Yang Qingyin said with a smile.
"If it weren't for our son, I would have punished him long ago for all the things he did behind the scenes," Zhu Xianming said with a cold face.
But both he and the queen knew that these were purely angry words. At least it was impossible to deal with Zhu Jingyuan at the moment. This was related to the balance of the government.
Of course, the most essential reason is that Zhu Xianming needs Prince Rui to check and balance the prince, and at the same time use him as a backup tire when the prince is unavailable.
While the couple were chatting, there was also a small meeting in the east hall of Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yunsheng looked at the dishes in front of him and said with a sad expression, "Brother Thirteen eats bran-thick vegetables. Life is really hard."
"Sister-in-law Thirteen has to do the laundry and cook by herself." , but I don’t know how she can endure it."
Zhu Yunsheng thinks about these words all the time, which shows that she is really worried about her brother and sister-in-law, because she has the best relationship with Zhu Jinghong among the three brothers.
"Princess, why don't we think of a way to go to Shanglin Garden to see Master Thirteen and the others?" Xiangyun suggested.
Zhu Yunsheng said helplessly, "I'm afraid this will be difficult. Now I can't even leave the palace, how can I go to Shanglin Garden?"
At this time, Daiyu said, "Princess, this If you can persuade the Queen to visit the Thirteenth Master, we can go along with you."
"This is not impossible," Zhu Yunsheng thought.
"But this matter cannot be urgent. I only mentioned it two days ago, and the Queen Mother did not give her permission."
At this time Zhen Qin said, "The Queen is also worried about the Thirteenth Master. If the princess mentions it a few more times, the empress will definitely agree."
As the night passed, Zhu Xianming began to manage the government as usual, and as usual he issued a reply memorial.
Of the three eunuchs, Si Li, it was not Lu Chu who came here every time. For example, today it was Dai Quan, the eunuch Bingbi.
"There's still no movement over at Jinling," Zhu Xianming asked casually.
As the eunuch in charge of Dongchang, Dai Quan knew very wellWhat is Emperor Chu asking?
Just listen to Dai Quan's reply: "Your Majesty, there are already people connecting with each other, but no one dares to stir up trouble yet."
Jinling's affairs are now the top priority, so even if there are Jin Yiwei Staring, Zhu Xianming arranged for Dongchang to send someone.
So he has more than one source of information about the ground in Jinling, which can relatively reflect the actual situation more objectively.
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Xianming asked, "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Although Dai Quan was an eunuch, he held the high position of Chief of Ceremonies and Bingbi, and his vision was His knowledge is no less than that of a foreign minister, so Zhu Xianming asked him this question.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is good to have calm seas, but big waves may occur in the long run. Your Majesty should make preparations in advance."
"Yes, the way to control water is to block it." It's better to be sparse, but they are a pool of stagnant water, unwilling to flow out along the river I dug, so I have no choice."
"Your Majesty, yesterday I received a memorial to impeach Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian, with a total of seventy-eight memorials."
"There are fifteen memorials jointly signed by more than ten people"
"Yes" Zhu Xianming nodded without any additional instructions.
This also means that the above-mentioned memorial will be kept in the archives of the Supervisor of Ceremonies like the previous one, and will not cause waves in the court.
In fact, the origin of these memorials is very complicated. Not only the local officials of Jinling were impeaching, but also some officials outside Jinling were impeaching.
"You said you are not taking away their land, you are just asking them to pay taxes, but it is like killing them."
This is not easy for Dai Quan to accept. Yes, he actually understood the thoughts of the scholar-officials.
Today your emperor clears his father-in-law’s land and raises taxes. Will the tax rate be raised later and will he make various donations under clever names for money?
Similar methods have been used too much by scholar-bureaucrats. Naturally, he must guard against the royal family.
"Jia Yucun said that the Qingzhang will be completed by the end of the year. Do you think there is any moisture in his so-called completion?"
Even if Jia Yucun is doing the dirty work under tremendous pressure, it is obvious that The emperor did not trust him 100%, which was also the expected face of the emperor. < /p>
"Yes"
While Zhu Xianming continued to read the memorial, a small eunuch appeared outside the door and reported that several commanders of the Northern Four Guards wanted to see him.
Only the commanders of the pro-army forces are qualified to meet the emperor directly. For other generals such as Jingying and Dusi, it is not that difficult to meet the emperor.
"Let them in"
After Zhu Xianming gave the order, four commanders quickly entered the palace, saluted the emperor and were called up.
"What's the matter?"
The commander of Yulin Right Guards JiangQingsheng opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to tell you something about the training."
"Go ahead." Zhu Xianming put down the chapter in his hand.
Then Jiang Qingsheng began to report. Zhu Xianming could understand it at first, but when it came to the coordination of new tactics, the emperor sounded a little confused.
About ten minutes later, Jiang Qingsheng raised his waist and asked, "I have thought about it carefully, but I still don't have a complete solution when it comes to the connection. Please give me your Majesty's advice."
Zhu Xianming said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "It is for you as generals to think about these specific training matters, rather than bothering me."
"I will wait for ten thousand deaths." All the generals bowed down.
"Get up, no one wants you to die. I still hope that you will train strong soldiers to defeat the rebels," Zhu Xianming said calmly.
After several people stood up, Song Run, the commander of Xiaowu Right Guard, raised his head and said with fear, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Say. ”
“I think maybe I can let Thirteenth Master help me with the details.”
After saying this, Song Run lowered his head again. He knew very well that these words were very important. Breaking the taboo and being a military commander and befriending a prince is a serious crime.
While the other three were preparing to plead for Song Run, Zhu Xianming acted extremely calmly.
"Without that bastard, this soldier cannot be trained" Zhu Xianming asked calmly.
Before the generals could respond, Zhu Xianming continued, "He is in Shanglin Garden. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
His Majesty agreed
Before anyone asked, they heard Zhu Xianming say, "If it doesn't matter, just go down."
So they could only conclude that the emperor had agreed.
Although Zhu Jinghong is now working hard on behalf of the emperor, he has not been removed from his position as "Supervisor of the Army" of the Northern Four Guards. It is only natural to ask him for advice.
In the fields of Shanglinyuan, Zhu Jingchun and his wife were still hoeing.
It has now entered early winter, and the weather is getting colder, but Zhu Jingchun and his wife are still sweating.
With the last acre of land left, Shanglinyuan’s royal fields will be sown. The next step will be repeated weeding and maintenance, and the tasks will become more tedious and detailed.
The two are busy, while Zhu Jinghong is sitting in the shade of the tree, and Baochai is pouring water for him at the moment.
"Let them both rest," Baochai said softly.
Taking the water bowl, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and said, "Who knows, every grain of food on the plate has to be worked hard. They need to understand this truth more than I do."
"The Thirteenth Master also I know how to quote poems," Baochai couldn't help but joked.
"Who did Miss Bao call the Thirteenth Master?" Zhu Jinghong asked.
The couple here were flirting and flirting, and the two of them were exhausted from working in the fields. In the end, Zhu Jingchun couldn't help but straighten up and shouted, "Brother Thirteen, I'm thirsty."
"You just drank water, you are thirsty and continue working." Zhu Jinghong was not polite.
These two boys like to cheat and play tricks. How could Zhu Jinghong fulfill their wishes?
Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to continue scolding, Baochai reminded him, "Someone is coming."
"Who is coming?"
As he spoke, Zhu Jinghong followed Baochai. Looking in the direction Chai pointed, he saw someone approaching on horseback in the distance.
His eyesight was pretty good, and he could tell at a glance that they were from the Northern Four Guards, which made him very curious about the courage of these people.
"Go back first," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Okay"
Knowing that it was inconvenient for him to be there, Baochai responded and left with the basket.
After a while, Jiang Qingsheng and his party arrived at the end of the field, dismounted from their horses more than ten meters away, and then walked towards Zhu Jinghong.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong, who was wearing a short cotton shirt, everyone present was deeply surprised. They did not expect that this man had such a miserable life.
"See the Thirteenth Master"
Calling Zhu Jinghong the Thirteenth Master means that everyone has a close relationship with him.
"Please excuse yourself quickly," Zhu Jinghong stood up and said.
After these people stood up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "How did you come here? Are you here to farm with me?"
"Thirteenth Master, are you here? I came here with an order to ask you for some advice," Song Run replied.
After patting the dust on his buttocks, Zhu Jinghong said, "Now that I am guilty, my father wants to destroy me. If you get together with me, I am afraid you will get into big trouble."
p>
"Thirteenth Master, what you said is serious. The Lord has always valued you more, so how could he?"
Picking up the hoe on the side, Zhu Jinghong sneered and said, "The importance traps me." Here, let me eat chaffy vegetables every day, which is called respect."
After saying this, there was no way to talk today, and the scene became quiet for a while.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong leaving with a hoe, Jiang Qingsheng and others could only follow, but their official boots were really hard to walk in the ground.
"You two bastards, you are lazy again"
After being scolded by Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jingchun and the two people who were watching the excitement became busy again.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong start hoeing the ground, Jiang Qingsheng and others could only follow, and at the same time said, "Thirteenth Master, this time I came here, it is indeed the Lord's order to ask for advice."
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it. Without my father's will, I won't help you."
At this time, Zhu Jinghong changed his attitude, which really shocked Jiang Qingsheng and others. But they didn't have time to think too much, so they started talking about business.
Zhu Jinghong has really worked hard on training. He is still thinking about it even when he is farming. When Jiang Qingsheng asks questions, he can explain immediately.
In fact, many things may be bumpy if you explore them on your own, but it is very simple if you stand from God's perspective.
Zhu Jinghong, whose consciousness is hundreds of years ahead, sees problems from God's perspective, so he can easily give solutions.
Of course, the church disciples are hungryHe understands the reason behind the death of his master, so he often has reservations so that he can continue to interfere with the army.
The discussion ended and everyone learned something.
Among them, Zhu Jinghong deliberately said that he was wrong about something, but he would take the initiative to correct it later and take this opportunity to remove himself.
After Jiang Qingsheng and others left, Zhu Jinghong fell into new thoughts.
The emperor asked these people to consult him, which obviously recognized his military ability. The key is that he is not very defensive about him, which is his biggest advantage at the moment.
Although there are advantages, this advantage completely depends on the emperor's will, so Zhu Jinghong still dare not neglect it.
In the conversation with Jiang Qingsheng and others just now, Zhu Jinghong learned that the imperial court had sent additional troops to the northwest and also mobilized a large amount of additional grain, grass and ordnance.
In other words, the war between the Northwest and Junggar is inevitable, and it is very likely to happen next year.
Of course, the imperial court has not given up on recruiting Dzunggar to surrender, but the reality is that they have closer ties with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Just fight, it will be fine, Zhu Jinghong thought.
"In addition to land battles, naval battles will also take place. I don't know what the situation of the coastal navy is like now after the last decree was issued." Zhu Jinghong murmured in a low voice.
"It's useless for me to say it alone. I have to create some news to make the old man really believe that there is gold everywhere and all foreigners are extremely rich."
"So There are both land and sea battles, so I can fish in troubled waters."
War only has its place of use, which also means that no war can create war.
After Junggar, there is the Japanese side, then the Portuguese side of Annan, and then the Luzon side
When he thinks of so many potential enemies, Zhu Jinghong feels Extremely reassuring.
After another busy afternoon, the three of them returned to their residence.
At this moment, Baochai has also prepared dinner. Tonight, it will be noodles and pickles, plus a meatloaf and two fried eggs for each person.
As for Baochai herself, she was not hungry so she only ate a boiled egg and a bowl of porridge.
The three of Zhu Jinghong finished the meal in a hurry, and Zhu Jinghao said with a satisfied look on his face, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are getting better and better now."
"Yes, I don't think it's better than Gong Those cooks here are bad." Zhu Jingchun answered.
The two of them received Baochai's kindness, but now they have nothing to repay, so they can only say nice things.
"The more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. If I were really that powerful, I shouldn't have been Sheng'er's attendant in the first place. I would have gone directly to the Shangshi Bureau to apply for it," Baochai said half-jokingly.
Zhu Jingchun then said, "If my sister-in-law goes to Shangshi Bureau, how can Brother Thirteen marry a good wife like you?"
Seeing that the two people were getting more and more excited, they just listened. Zhu Jinghong put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Since you two are fine, you can wash the dishes for this meal."
"Uh, I understand."
Zhu Jinghong's words are nothing short of holy.The two men did not dare to refute the order, so they consciously got up and packed it up.
Baochai wanted to persuade her, but Zhu Jinghong stood up and reminded her to leave. Instead, he asked her to go out for a walk to eat.
He would take a walk every night, and Baochai never refused.
"Your Majesty, I have been here for ten days, and now I still feel uncomfortable."
Zhu Jinghong replied calmly, "You think it's nothing, I can be more delicate than you."
Stopping, Baochai asked softly, "If you are trapped here for a long time, how will the prince's ambition be carried out?"
The surrounding terrain is open and there will be no one within a hundred meters. , so Baochai asked this question for the first time.
"Ambition, what ambition?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile. He did not intend to confess his feelings at the moment.
Aware of his intentions, Baochai stopped delving into it and immediately said, "There are so many good girls out there, we can't leave the palace empty."
"Okay Baochai, You said these things again."
As he spoke, Zhu Jinghong stretched out his hand to do something bad. If Baochai hadn't been too conservative, he would have thought that the wilderness was pretty good.
