Cabinet.
When Xie Qian came back from abroad, Li Dongyang showed Xie Qian several copies of Guan Bai reported in the Northwest.
"Yeah."
Li Dongyang glanced at Liu Jian's empty seat.
Liu Jian has been ill for the past two days and has not come to the cabinet. However, at this time, there were reports of Tatar invasion in the northwest.
Xie Qian said, "Ningxia is still Ningxia. Why don't the Tatars stop?"
Li Dongyang sighed, "Since ancient times, the northern grasslands have harassed our Central Plains border. There are many reasons Some are coveting territory, while others want to plunder people and goods. The current invasion of the Tatars is mostly due to their lack of supplies for the winter. In recent years, there has been serious internal strife among the Tatars, and they are hostile to the Ming Dynasty. "It's not a good thing for us."
Xie Qian smiled and said, "It's not a good thing for us if they bite dogs."
Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "The more chaotic they are, the harder it is to form surrender." At this time, we can only rely on soldiers to suppress them, and everything is pinned on Zhang Bingkuan."
Xie Qian continued to smile and said, "This last one is what you are worried about, Binzhi."< /p>
The Tatars are in internal chaos. Li Dongyang said that this was a bad thing, which was a bit strong-armed.
But considering that the more internal chaos the Tatars have, the more the Ming Dynasty wants to use military force to intimidate the Tatars, the more opportunities Zhang Zhou will have to show off. This seems to explain why Li Dongyang would react to this. So worried.
"This thing only comes here" Xie Qian asked again.
"How can it be possible that there is such a thing?" Li Dongyang said, "Cheng Keqin has passed by, and maybe he has also seen it. Regarding the use of troops in the northwest, will His Majesty accept our opinions? Even if it was brought up in the hall, it is still unknown."
Xie Qian thought for a while, his face was a little pale, but he didn't say anything else.
"It is estimated that the imperial court will raise the issue of using troops again in the past few days. Use as many old people as possible to prevent Zhang Bingkuan from continuing to have the opportunity to gather military power." Li Dongyang reminded.
"Yes." Xie Qian nodded.
The biggest problem in the northern war was to prepare for Zhang Zhou.
"If two thousand troops are sent to Liaodong, they may not be able to do anything, but if they are sent to Yansui, they may capture the entire Hetao."
" If we increase the number of troops to 30,000, we can at least level a grassland or something like that.”
Donggong.
Zhu Houzhao is taking his own "tactics class", and his "students" are several eunuchs in the East Palace.
Led by Liu Jin, a group of people were listening to Zhu Houzhao's nonsense.
A group of people had to pretend to be serious and listen to the prince's advice, and Zhu Houzhao seemed to have gained unprecedented satisfaction through this kind of "sharing".
"Your Highness, I just heard news from Yanwu Hall that a group of people from Yanwu Hall may be transferred to the northwest recently., because the Tatars are here again. This time they are back. They are obviously scattered. Their purpose may be to rob property, but I heard that they have a better way to destroy the city wall. This time they are also coming with force. . "
Liu Jin smiled and told Zhu Houzhao what he knew.
Zhu Houzhao said, "How many people come, how many people die. The situation I told you before was that the Ming Dynasty sent troops out. If they come in, it is equivalent to entering our pocket formation. Look at this sand table on all nine sides, and look at the artillery arrangements everywhere. Do you know that the Tatars have no chance?"
A group of eunuchs looked at the sand table.
There were many small flags marked on it, including the number of artillery pieces placed everywhere. Everyone was a little shocked after reading it.
It seems that they knew the secret of the imperial court before they knew it.
If they were captured by the Tatars, wouldn't it mean that they all knew about the Ming Dynasty's defense, and they would be unknown by then. A small person turned into a high-level person who knew the core military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty
At that time, even death might be a level up.
Gao Feng asked, "Your Highness, is this true?"
“Of course it’s true. "Zhu Houzhao said with some pride, "My father asked me to accompany him in reviewing the memorials. I also specially found the military layout maps of various places and looked at them, and then sorted them out after I came back. Not bad at all. ”
Gao Feng said, “Prince, slaves and others should not know this. Easily get into trouble. "
"You are saying that if you are captured by the Tatars, you will betray the country."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said, "No, based on your level, you don't have that kind of worry." . Besides, my father and Mr. Zhang deployed artillery in various towns, and sometimes they were fake and real. Who knows whether this is true or not. There are artillery everywhere. If the Tatars think that there is a weak spot and attack them, they will definitely suffer. And back. Just go ahead and say it, you are absolutely not afraid that the Tatars will use this as a breakthrough."
Qiu Ju said on the side, "I heard that the case related to Tongfan was brought up recently and it was very violent. ”
“That is selling out my Ming Dynasty’s artillery manufacturing technology. It has nothing to do with this kind of military layout. The Tatars dare to come this time. I believe that they are definitely looking for trouble. How dare you I don’t dare to bet with me."
Zhu Houzhao has recently developed a problem and likes to bet against others, or bet.
It is also because he is about to enter the rebellious period of youth and has various dissatisfaction. His emotional competitiveness also made him a little careless about the actual situation of others. As a prince, he made bets with others, which could lead to good things.
"After going back, one person wrote two speeches and came back. "You are not allowed to eat, please go quickly"
"Your Highness the Prince"
A group of eunuchs immediately complained incessantly.
They just came to listen to the lectures, they just treated the children to play. Now, I have to go back and write a speech. Isn’t this just for entertainment?
“Humph, my lesson, you dare to slack off. Are you still not my close confidant? If I rely on you in the future,Can we count on you when making decisions about the use of troops in the northwest?"
Zhu Houzhao was very angry.
At first, several eunuchs thought that the prince was joking, but after hearing this, they suddenly all It seems that I have motivation again.
Think about it.
If you study with the prince, you may become a superior eunuch or a royal eunuch, who will be the prince? Where are the cronies?
At that time, they must obey the wishes of the prince. The prince at that time will also be the emperor. If they know nothing about the emperor's interests, they will not give themselves a way to survive.
p>Liu Jin said, "I have been thinking about the military situation in the northwest recently, and I have also compiled some personal thoughts. I would also like to ask the prince to read it and give some advice. "
"Easy to say, easy to say. "
When Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jin's "sincere" attitude, he immediately smiled.
Gao Feng said, "I will think about it when I get back and give the prince my own thoughts. "
"It's better to do it than to do it. There is really no future. Look at me, I am so much younger than you. Why do you have more experience than you? You haven't thought about what you have done less than a group of old guys. , if you don’t have the ambition to make progress, I will feed you all in vain.”
When Zhu Houzhao scolded others, he meant to expose his shortcomings.
Gao Feng said with a smile, “The lowly position will definitely follow.” The prince has learned everything he needs to learn by following your footsteps, and he will definitely assist his highness in the future. "
"Well, that's pretty much it," Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, "Go and get my bow and arrows. I'm going to practice bow shooting. I heard from my father that recently I have to go out to compete with the children of princes and nobles to show off my abilities. I have to practice harder recently. ”
Gao Feng looked very surprised.
And this matter
Why haven’t we heard of it
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince , can you please stop pretending that His Majesty has agreed to let you go out to bend a bow and set an arrow?
But before Gao Feng and others could question, Zhu Houzhao had already jumped out and it was too late for anyone to chase him.
"It's so outrageous. The prince doesn't know what he is doing recently. There is another article that makes no sense."
Zhu Youtang took the article written by his son , the scolding was a bit weak.
Because Zhu Houzhao was too naughty. Although he had Zhang Zhou's "guidance", Zhu Houzhao's playfulness did not change. He, the father, cannot face it.
“Your Majesty, he is still young. "
Empress Zhang was making peace with her.
Zhu Youtang said with a straight face, "Just because you indulged me in this child before, that's all. How can you do anything now? "Leave it to him"
When Queen Zhang heard this, she was a little confused.
What does this mean?
If you are not satisfied, the prince will be deposed. , come up with your second son
This is simply making trouble
"Send someone to where the prince lives and collect all the things he can mess with," Zhu Youtang said.
Li Zhang on the side said, "Your Majesty, this may be a bit difficult."
"Why don't you dare to go when the prince is here?"
Zhu Youtang continued Angry, although he felt that Li Zhang was a bit incompetent, he thought that his son would often suppress these servants, so he seemed to understand a little. He waved his hand and said, "I will let him go out of the palace to meet Bingkuan in the next two days. Then you can bring him with you." People go to the East Palace and take away everything they can."
"Yes"
Li Zhang felt a little relieved.
If you rush to confiscate the prince's playthings, it will be a life-threatening thing for the prince to find out later.
If you are hated by the prince now, will you still use it in the future?
I can only wish that your majesty will live a long life, or that the prince will burp his fart and get a new one soon.
Li Zhang was also thinking that being an errand in the palace was really not a job for humans.
In Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.
A secret guest sent by Zhang Mao is arguing with the governor Guo Ang, and the purpose of this secret guest is to "rescue" Bao Guo Gong's family members.
"Mr. Zhong, please forgive me. Your Majesty personally orders all arrangements for the criminals' families, and we have no way to interfere. As for the person you asked, I can't tell you."
< p>Guo Ang was quite polite to this guest.I also knew that Zhang Mao was in great favor. Even if he was a teacher beside Zhang Mao, he could still act independently. Can.
Just don’t tear your face apart.
The guest surnamed Zhong said, "Mr. Zhang also has good intentions. Why, you have other arrangements?"
Guo Ang said, "I don't know the details, otherwise I would be like this "How about you ask Sun Qianhu, I'll ask someone to take you there."
"That's fine."
After the guest surnamed Zhong saluted, he came out with a Jin Yiwei.
This Jin Yiwei is from a hundred households and looks very smart and capable. Even the court guests named Zhong couldn't help but take a high look at him.
"My surname is Hong, and I am working in front of Sun Qianhu. I don't know what Mr. Zhong has planned." Hundreds of people with the surname Zhong walked around, also asking for details of the matter.
The person surnamed Zhong said, "I was entrusted by the British Duke to pick someone up. This is the handwriting of the British Duke."
"Oh, Mrs. Baoguo," said Hong Baihu, " This is a big shot. No matter where he was detained in the past, he would be treated politely. But just because he was once a noble person, now he can only be raised by a good man. Why is this man also related to the British prince? "
"It's not." said the man named Zhong, "it's about the help between colleagues."
"I must be in my forties."< /p>
Hong Baihu felt even more confused.
You said it’s not good for Zhang Mao to save someone?When Zhu Hui's wife was taken out, it was easy to think wrongly.
The key point is that Mrs. Zhu is also in her early forties, and has long since faded. Do you, Zhang Mao, have any bad intentions?
The man named Zhong said, " It's all a matter of old friendship, it's not about meeting Sun Qianhu."
"Oh, Sun Qianhu has been sorting out cases recently, and Jin Yiwei has many offices in Beijing. Sir, you don't understand what Mr. Guo means, do you?" Hong Baihu smiled.
You are the guest of the British Duke. Don’t you know that Guo Ang doesn’t want to entertain you and deliberately asks you to see Sun Shangqi so that you can retreat
The man named Zhong said: " As ordered, I'd better meet him first before talking about it. Thank you."
As he said that, he also stuffed Hong Baihu with a letter of money, which made Hong Baihu feel a little helpless.
The court official named Zhong went to see Sun Shangqi, and then went back to find Zhang Mao to revive him.
"Why don't you give me face?"
Zhang Mao frowned when he saw his men coming back in a mess, "You can't even handle such a small thing"
The man named Zhong He said, "Old Master Zhang, it's not that I don't want to run away, but it's because the Jinyiwei side has already made arrangements. I heard that there are dispatches from above. It is said that the family members of officials who have been convicted in recent years and need to migrate will be relocated to Yongyang." Pingfu, sent to the boundary of Yongpingfu"
"What"
Zhang Mao frowned when he heard this.
This is also related to Zhang Bingkuan
“I don’t know what the situation is, but there are rumors now that His Majesty is going to build a palace in Yongping Mansion, so it needs A large number of people are rushing over there now."
The man named Zhong sighed, "Now those people only give face to Your Majesty and Cai Guogong, and they are afraid that they will not give face to others. "Give it."
Zhang Mao slapped the table and said, "Don't you even give me my face?"
The surnamed Zhong looked a little evasive.
It seems to be saying, you didn’t understand what I said, right? I just don’t want to give you face
Others don’t seem to bother Jin Yiwei, as if they are afraid that Jin Yiwei will not care about him Same as you.
"Will Zhang Bingkuan also cause trouble for me? Then I should go and talk to him personally." Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
