Zhu Gaoxu was shocked.

With his IQ, he easily understood Su Yang's explanation.

After all, Su Yang crushed the general trend of the world into pieces and fed it into his mouth.

If Zhu Gaoxu still doesn't understand, then he is not reckless and irritable, but truly stupid!

So now Zhu Gaoxu is frightened and panicked.

He knew very well that Su Yang's speculations were very likely to become facts!

Zhu Yunwen has already taken action to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Beiping Mansion!

Next, the new emperor will set his sights on military power, or the Peiping Dusi!

In order to resist the Mongolian barbarians, the imperial court chose to build garrison stations widely and defend the border. Two major border defense military regions were gradually built in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty and the southern part of the grassland, namely the Peiping Dudu Commandery Division and the Peiping Dudu Commandery Division (Daning Dusi).

During the Hongwu period, as the prince, King of Qin, and King of Jin died of illness one after another, King Yan Zhu Di became the leader of the kings. Because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he was highly regarded by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and ordered Zhu Di to control the Beiping Dusi, Xingdusi, and Liaodong Dusi. He also ordered the Liao government to guard the troops and horses, and ordered him to lead the kings to guard against border troubles.

King Zhu Di of Yan did not disappoint Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He led his army to Mobei many times, defeated the Mongolian barbarians, and achieved great military exploits.

In other words, King Zhu Di of Yan had a high prestige in the hearts of the northern frontier soldiers, which was unmatched by other vassal kings.

But this was only in the past. If the new emperor wanted to take away the military power of King Yan Zhu Di, he would definitely attack the guards of Beiping, the three major capitals!

Boiling a frog in warm water, you don’t know whether you are alive or dead!

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu was extremely panicked.

He has been in the military camp and naturally understands the importance of military power.

Without military power in his hands, how could his father fight against Zhu Yunwen?

All the plans of the Yan Palace will become a joke!

When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't sit still and immediately rushed back to Prince Yan's Mansion overnight.

Before leaving, he looked at Su Yang and Zhu Wanqiu, still feeling a little unhappy.

"Su Yang, my little sister will live here for the time being."

"If you dare to bully him, I will definitely kill you alive!"

Su Yang's head was covered with black lines, and he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Who are the relatives of my daughter-in-law, who are all so unreasonable?

Zhu Wanqiu stared and impatiently urged Zhu Gaoxu to leave quickly.

She finally lived a happy and stable life with her husband, and she really didn't want to be disturbed by these guys.

King Yan Huzi was helpless and could only leave with a gloomy face.

After he left, Su Yang looked at the little girl with suspicion.

Seeing her husband's suspicious face, Zhu Wanqiu was suddenly shocked.

Your husband won't notice anything, right?

"Ms. sir, I..."

"Xiao Wan, your second cousin, is your brain not working well?"

"..."

Peking, Yan Palace.

Zhu Gaoxu rushed back overnight, with a tired look on his face.

However, he had no time to rest and hurriedly walked to the palace study.

Zhu Di was discussing important matters with Dao Yan, Jin Zhong and others, while Zhu Gaochi was listening.

The imperial court cut off the grain and grass supply to Beiping Mansion, and Prince Yan's Mansion was already aware of it.

However, with the golden mountain of snowflake salt, even if the normal food transportation channel is cut off by the court, there are other ways.

For example, grassland!

This is the preliminary strategy formulated by Dao Yan and Jin Zhong.

But when they proposed this strategy, they were unanimously opposed by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi!

Making deals with prairie barbarians?

This is colluding with foreign enemies!

As the King of Yan in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the old Zhu family, had been fighting against the Mongolian Tatars for their entire lives. What they hated the most were the Mongolian barbarians. How could he accept this?

And Zhu Gaochi thought more about it. Whether he wanted to or not was one thing. If the matter was exposed and leaked, all the prestige of Yan King Zhu Di would collapse in an instant, and he would become a national traitor who colluded with the barbarians to surrender to the enemy!

By then, without waiting for Zhu Yunwen's Jinling court to take any action, the people of Northern Xinjiang will be able to spray Zhu Di to death with just one spit of spit!

"Monk, Chang Shi, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Di sternly refused again and asked him to collude with the Mongolian barbarians. He simply couldn't accept it.

Dao Yan and Jin Zhong looked at each other, their expressions unchanged, as if they had expected Zhu Di's reaction.

However, as the two are the top wise men in the world, they naturally have good reasons for formulating such a strategy.

Monk Daoyan stroked his beard and spoke calmly.

"Your Majesty, the transportation of snowflake salt to the south may not go smoothly. The imperial court's blockade of Peiping will only become tighter, so we cannot put all our hopes on the southern caravans."

"Furthermore, the barbarians on the grassland are not engaged in production, and many supplies must be plundered from each other. There is a huge shortage of salt, so no matter what conditions we put forward, they cannot refuse!"

"War horses, cattle, sheep, or even slaves, we can use snowflake salt to trade with grassland barbarians to form an iron cavalry, or form an alliance with some barbarian tribes to secretly enhance the strength of our army."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face changed slightly and he stared at Monk Dao Yan with an unkind expression.

This old thief is bald, he is really a monster monk, he acts without any scruples!

He, Zhu Di, has fought Mongolian barbarians all his life, and now he is expected to collude with foreign enemies. It is really unreasonable!

"no!"

"Absolutely not!"

"I cannot do such a thing as surrendering to the enemy and treason!"

He, Zhu Di, has been a brave man all his life and has always been a true heroic man. How could he do such a thing?

Seeing Zhu Di's gloomy expression, Jin Zhong couldn't help but speak to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, those who have achieved great things in the past and present have not adhered to trivial matters."

"When Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, raised an army in Taiyuan, he actually declared himself a vassal of the Turks, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin planned the matter. Later, historians concealed it, so that the root cause of the matter was not obvious to later generations."

"The situation we are facing now is even more dangerous than when Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty raised his army. Moreover, it is not just about colluding with foreign enemies, it is just about trading, so there is no need for the prince to be so resistant."

"Furthermore, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to go out because of the situation at that time. In just 12 or 13 years, he actually destroyed the Turks and subjugated them. The great shame was over and the miraculous achievement was accomplished. Why is it necessary to conceal it?"

"A true man should stand upright, and he should endure honor and disgrace for a while. When the great cause is accomplished and the mountains and rivers are settled, the prince can then send his troops to the north. How shameful!"

Jin Zhong was very knowledgeable, and he came up with an example in a blink of an eye, leaving Zhu Di speechless.

When Tang Taizong, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, launched an army to rebel, he was forced to collude with the Turks and even surrendered to the Turks. After that, he seized the power of the country and the world, and then wiped out the Turks in a change of hands. It was a shame!

Will future generations remember that they surrendered to the Turks?

No, the world will only remember Tang Taizong’s civil and martial arts and the prosperous era of Zhenguan!

The situation that you, Zhu Di, are facing now is even more dangerous than that faced by Li Yuan and Li Shimin. Moreover, you are only asked to make deals with the barbarian tribes, not to surrender to the barbarians like they did. What reason do you have to hold back and refuse to agree?

Zhu Gaochi also fell silent, not knowing how to refute.

For a moment, the study room was extremely quiet.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu strode in.

"Dad, it's not good!"

"Zhu Yun has cut off our army's food and grass, and I'm afraid he will attack your military power next!"

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other in shock, wondering why the second young master suddenly went crazy!

Seeing that they were indifferent, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became anxious.

"Dad, why don't you understand?"

"You are just a frog now, Zhu Yunwen wants to slowly boil you to death!"

Zhu Di: "???"

Three people: "???"
