All the officials suddenly realized,
No wonder His Majesty is so happy this morning. It turns out His Royal Highness Shengsun is coming back.
In the court hall, a burst of whispering sounds sounded, and it instantly became chaotic like a vegetable market.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as anxious as before to maintain discipline in the court. Instead, he allowed the officials to talk,
When he thought that his eldest grandson was finally going to return to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be more lenient.
The Japanese Duke Lan Yu was standing in front of the official array on the outside. He couldn't help but bumped into the Duke of Zheng, Chang Mao, with his arm.
He said in a sour tone,
"I think those Sai kings are just like this. It took them a long time to capture an enemy city. If we had gone there, we would have helped my nephew to penetrate that Timur."
Like the second child or the third child? The vassal kings such as Lao Si all served as soldiers under Chang Yuchun when they were young, and Lan Yu, not to mention, had been trained in Chang Yuchun's military camp since he was a child.
Therefore, Lan Yu is very familiar with these Sai kings and has no respect for them.
Chang Mao nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement with his uncle's words.
The two uncles and nephews are still thinking about the fact that they were not allowed to go on the expedition with their eldest nephew.
Therefore, the two of them have extremely strict requirements for the performance of various Sai kings, plus Fu Youdetang and the two veterans.
Don't ask, anyway, you just need to ask them, and they will just say, I don't think it's okay.
The words of these two stupid young people naturally reached the ears of the superiors clearly. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these two people with helpless eyes and did not bother to talk to them. He just cursed in a low voice,
"These two melon eggs."
Although the content of Xu Sima's military intelligence report is not much, the meaning contained in it is very huge.
Lan Yu and Chang Mao were completely filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, and had not yet noticed the crux of the problem.
However, these two people still failed to notice the crux of the problem, and it didn't seem to matter.
The other people in the court were different, such as Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, Zhu Tong, the Minister of Rites, Zhan Hui, the Minister of Officials, etc. After hearing Xu Sima's military report, their pupils shrank one after another.
They didn't care about the battle ahead. What they heard was the second half of the sentence,
His Highness Shengsun is going back to Beijing. What does it mean for His Highness Shengsun to return to Beijing? It means that the Ming Dynasty is about to replace someone as the emperor! That's the biggest thing!
His Royal Highness Shengsun ascends the throne!
How could they not understand that His Highness Sheng Sun's trip to the northern border was full of dangers? His Majesty loved His Highness so much that he actually agreed to His Highness's move. The implication was that Your Majesty wanted Your Highness to personally gather the morale of the army and accept the various fortresses in person. The king’s loyalty,
The Xu family was almost exterminated because of Zhu Gaosui's incident. Isn't it because of this incident?
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and we are just waiting for His Majesty Shengsun to come to court next time. Now it is time to ascend the throne.
"Okay, just be quiet!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in the ears of every official. In addition to Lao Zhu himself being very energetic, it was also related to the design of Fengtian Palace.
The structure designed by Fengtian Hall allowed the voices of hundreds of officials in the court to be clearly conveyed to Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, even if they were whispered,
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang, who is in the upper position, raises his head and speaks, even if his voice is not loud, it can be clearly heard by all the officials.
Of course, if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want the officials to hear him, he just had to lower his head. This is the beauty of the structure of Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang signaled Xu Sima to continue reporting military information. Xu Sima stepped forward, took out a scroll with his backhand, and wanted to hand it to His Majesty. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,
"We already have it, it's up to you."
Xu Sima nodded calmly, but did not open the scroll. These military reports were already familiar to him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin used the method of building a fort at a distance..."
Xu Sima began to report the military situation loudly in the court. The first thing he talked about was Yan's military preparations for attacking Timur.
Zhu Yuanzhang also picked up the scroll at the same time, laid it flat on his lap and read it. The military report sent back from Beijing before was too fragmentary. It was the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang to read it completely like this.
Listening to what the Grand Governor Xu Sima said about the method of building a fortress for the Jin Dynasty, the people in the court couldn't help but exclaimed, and couldn't help but blurt out words of praise for His Highness the Third Highness.
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with satisfaction, his face glowing. Obviously, he was very proud of his third son.
In Lao Zhu's educational concept, which child is the best? That must be Lao Zhu, the kid with a brain, who likes it best!
As for those who can fight or not, they have to be pushed to the back. To put it bluntly, the most indispensable thing among Lao Zhu’s sons is people who can fight. There are a lot of them if you reach out and grab them. What they are short of are those who are both wise and courageous. Compound talents,
Obviously the third child has always satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang. As for the second child...well...Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he didn't even want to mention it.
Xu Sima's voice was the only voice left in the court, and even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but breathe softly.
Although Xu Sima's military report is not as literary as a storyteller, the success is that the story begins and turns so exciting that even if Xu Sima tells it without embellishment, the officials who are listening can't help but hold their breath and get involved in it. , as if they were also in the snowy field of ice and snow,
Xu Sima talked about the two-pronged attack on the left and right sides, about His Royal Highness Shengsun rescuing King Yan, and then about the two-pronged army and horse generals making a fool of General Kehewo. Every time he talked about something, the people in the court were shocked. The voice rose again,
Lan Yu snorted with dissatisfaction and said unconvinced,
"Eldest nephew, do you think that if the two of us go there, we can also come up with this kind of strategy?"
Chang Mao didn't blush, nodded without a beating heart, and said,
"Uncle, what are you talking about here? Is this difficult?"
Lan Yu glanced at Chang Mao with satisfaction. It's not against the law to brag anyway. They could just brag each other in business.
When I heard the second half, the entire court was completely silent.
Everyone can understand that the key to this battle is actually His Highness Shengsun, whether it is sitting in charge of the central army and stabilizing the morale of the army, making judgments, rescuing King Yan, and later on the suspicious soldiers,
His Highness Sheng Sun played a role in it. This is not the kind of military report fabricated out of thin air in order to gild His Highness Sheng Sun, transferring other people's military achievements to His Highness.
Judging from the closeness of the war, these military achievements were actually performed by His Highness Shengsun.
All the officials were very happy. Sure enough, His Highness Shengsun was destined to be his destiny.
After Xu Sima finished speaking, all the officials looked at His Majesty. Just when they were about to congratulate His Majesty in unison, they couldn't help but feel their breath stagnant.
They had just been listening so enchantedly,
I didn't even notice that His Majesty's face had turned completely black!
