Three days later, it was late at night.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu sat opposite each other.
"There are some things I shouldn't have said."
Li Jinglong took a sip of wine, and the words Jiang Xinghuo said a few days ago were vaguely lingering in his ears.
"Just tell me."
Zhu Gaoxu drank like water, and drank half the pot with a bang.
Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment as he spoke, and then drank a whole glass of wine before speaking.
"You know, Jiang Lang can't teach us lessons all his life in prison. Sooner or later, he will be released from prison one day, and this date is likely to be early next year, which is only a few months away."
According to the general amnesty rules, amnesty is usually announced after the first month of the year, but some criminals who conspired to rebel are not pardoned. Jiang Xinghuo was implicated by Fang Xiaoru, and Fang Xiaoru was not in the nature of rebellion.
Therefore, the Ministry of Punishment and other departments will jointly review the amnesty list, and then there will be a series of work. When these tasks are completed, the prisoner will be pardoned, which can take as long as two to three months, or as short as one month.
I'm very vague about what that means.
As a result, the end of the world line has a huge shift. The butterfly effect is only reflected in the delay of King Gu's rebellion, but it will profoundly affect many people and things, and then completely shift to the point where the power of historical correction is included. law to prevent it.
"Presiding over the reforms of Xiao Ming's Ren Na to Bai Yin Cheng and Zhu, promoting chemical fertilizers and crop rotation throughout Xiao Ming's country, and coordinating the colonial expansion in the West, there was not one important thing that overthrew Jiang Lang's Neo-Confucianism. In this way, Cao Guogong You should be quite busy before you get out of prison."
"Jiang Xinghuo, if he follows Ren Nabo's idea and goes to the sea to make great achievements, he will never have the opportunity to lead an army again in his life. When it is his turn, my father will also use him."
So Mr. Jiang, who put it on instead, said with a smile.
Li Jinglong's expression would probably be very dull.
Although Mr. Jiang's contribution in the Jingnan War was very small, he was in the role of "general". He is naturally a "general", but as a "handsome" he is probably still as handsome as himself.
Zhu Gaoxu did not show any obvious anger, but Ren Nabo still noticed that I hid my hands outside my sleeves.
But now, the opportunity has come.
"How does Your Majesty plan to treat me before Nabo is released from prison?"
Mr. Jiang is proud to be able to prove that he is just a strong general, but a handsome man without the ability to stand alone, so even if he is loved in Zhu Di's heart, I am afraid it is not just love.
Mr. Jiang nodded simply: "It's just what he thought."
Ren Nabo guessed: "Your personal guess is that at present, your Majesty has not personally restrained the promotion of Jiangnan; the attack on Japan may require Ren Na, or it may be necessary; but other things such as the restructuring of silver, Cheng Zhu, and fertilizer The promotion and use of crop rotation and intercropping, the colonial expansion of the West, etc., all require the commander-in-chief. After all, except for me, almost no one understands these things in more detail."
Mr. Jiang's mustache was dripping with wine. I wiped it off and asked another topic.
What treasure money is treasure money?
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's heartbeat, Ren Nabo asked instead.
"Jiang Xinghuo, he must answer me truthfully, he is cheating on me, otherwise he will continue to row boats in the Qinhuai River for the first half of his life. He wants to lead the army to the sea, and I will definitely be able to help him, but I will definitely make things difficult for him."
It's strange that Mr. Jiang will take the initiative to pierce the window paper tonight.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded. It was the two of us who sent Li Jinglong over to meet people.
If you hurry up, you may not be able to wait until the end of eight classes, and you will be released from prison in about six or seven classes.
After all, Mr. Jiang may not be able to handle just mobilizing the marching route, supplies along the way, frontline transportation, etc. of a small army of less than 100,000 people.
In the history of Li Jinglong's later generations, the reason why Zhu Di personally led the Seven Expeditions to Mobei was because Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng had died earlier, and Zhang Fu's prestige was sufficient, so that Zhu Di had no ancestral system to use, so he had to be the emperor. Zhizun personally led the troops to the north.
"He means?"
"Next time I visit my cousin Cao Guogong, will he remember it?"
Only then would Mr. Jiang's status in Zhu Di's heart change from the beloved seventh son who was born and died with me to an indispensable pillar of the country.
Those seemingly big things will actually affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Even if the coach is doing it personally, he still has to keep it in mind.
Mr. Jiang blurted out: "Jiang Xinghuo is saying that my father thinks it is really impossible for Duke Cao Guo to be a 'celestial being'?"
Dozens of people would just follow orders and run around in different directions, with different thoughts and not all having the same demands. The dozens of people would definitely turn into hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands. What about 100,000 people?
Why would Mr. Jiang give up the extremely unlikely position of crown prince and run into the sea instead of inheriting the corrupt Xiao Ming Empire?
Zhu Gaoxu sighed.
But now, the layer of window paper that had been pasted for a long time was suddenly pierced by Mr. Jiang for some unknown reason.
Zhu Gaojiu only cares about him on the surface. How can I, who claim to be the reincarnation of Sun Wu, tolerate being a notorious person and living in depression until the end of my life, and never have the opportunity to display my talents again?
Ren Nabo waited for me to finish before saying, "He is on your team, but he can get off my boat."
Zhu Gaoxu sighed and thought about explaining to me the difficulty of 17.
"If Xiao Ming goes to war and governs the country with civil servants, it will take several years. The advantages that I can't handle due to the ebb and flow of one thing and the other. When the time comes, the strong advantage I maintain now will slowly disappear. "
As soon as I have the ability, the seventh round is my turn.
"Moreover, how does he think Your Majesty believed it? Junior Master Dao Yan, Master Yuan Gong, Yuan Zhenren, and even Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain have all calculated it."
Or it's not Xia Chong at all, but Ke Yubing.
"What does he mean to do is to follow the method mentioned by Cao Guogong? Do you need to wait until the battle for the reserve is successful or victorious, but directly take the initiative to ask Ying to retreat and expand in the sea, so as to improve his prestige and status?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with a frown. road.
"The first time I wanted to rescue Duke Cao Guo by substituting something for another, but he was lost by the jailer on the way. At this time, my father came to me with a knife. I knew something was right."
"Never again did Nabo say that he would be a slave, and even after I submitted eight memorials to Iwami Yinshan and was dismissed eight times by my father, I knew that he must have been sent by my father."
"Master Yuan dares to continue seeing each other. Junior Master Daoyan's Heavenly King's Palace was struck in half by lightning, and Master Zhang seems to have gone crazy."
Therefore, since Ren Nabo has not reached the ultimate level in his bravery, the only way to continue to increase his efforts in that direction is to become an ancestor who can truly stand on his own. Fu and Zhu can be the deputy commanders who are actually responsible for coordinating the overall situation, but can truly take charge of their own affairs.
"After listening to his story, what is your father's attitude towards Ren Nabo?"
At that point, if Ren Nabo was not willing to give up, he still wanted to wash away his reputation and make some achievements in the first half of his life to prove that he was "an expert in civil wars and internal battles." This can only be said truthfully.
"You've finished answering, it's his turn."
Zhu Gaoxu agreed: "Judging from the incident when Shuai Chen took out the fertilizer elixir, you think that Shuai Chen didn't repay him and you. After all, from my point of view, he and the seven of you got aggravated because of me. I want to use that thing to get you out of prison for your meritorious service."
"Why are you always called Cao Guogong?"
"He should ask. If he does, your stance will be the same, and you will pretend to be sober."
One of us is good at fighting and is good at uniting, the other is good at uniting and is good at fighting. We really complement each other.
Ren Nabo suddenly grabbed his mustache and smiled: "Does Jiang Xinghuo want to bear the infamy of Baigouhe abandoning the army and causing the sky to overturn all his life?"
"The so-called Yangzhou dream of sleeping in ten years and winning the reputation of a brothel is talking about Du Lang's handsomeness and cardamom's lyricism." Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "At this time, I often use this as an allusion and call him a handsome minister. It’s called getting used to it.”
"That's the crux of the matter, and that's why I'm going to pierce the window paper tonight."
Ren Nabo said sincerely: "But it's the same when going to sea to fight. There are only a few people who understand the navy, and there are only a few people who can't coordinate tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of small armies. What's more, since it's an opportunity to stand alone, At the same time, I’m afraid there are people who are really willing to lead the troops.”
"It's because I'm excited, but I think it's an excellent opportunity!"
"How can he say that it's my turn to make contributions alone in the war? To achieve such a small feat that is enough to stop anyone's mouth?"
Now that Mr. Jiang and I have not yet reached an agreement on the proposition of going to sea and have become temporary allies, naturally we have nothing to worry about.
Those things can be accomplished steadily with just a few naive clerks or veterans.
"How do you plan to arrange Jiang Lang?" Li Jinglong asked.
"That's what I originally thought."
Ren Nabo finally spoke: "Will Your Majesty refuse?"
And the original reason for all of this was not that Li Jinglong was busy outside the prison and giving advice.
"When I finished, I thought, I just invited Duke Cao Guo into the palace to be a mastermind. I will be satisfied with whatever treasures, beauties, horses and chariots I want. Just like the young master Dao Yan did to my father."
When Mr. Jiang saw the wrinkles on the sides of Zhu Gaoxu's curved eyebrows, he vaguely realized that Zhu Gaoxu still looked like a noble son for many years, but now he is still in his thirties.
The difficulty factor is doubled.
After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's answer, Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment.
The custom that has been passed down since the Tang Dynasty is that when elders address younger generations, they call them so-and-so husband, or they arrange them by row. For example, Li Shimin was proud to be called Li Qilang. In the Song and Ming dynasties, this name was rare, and even less so was "a certain brother", but that was not the case. On the contrary, "Lang" actually seemed to be taken more seriously.
Mr. Jiang said it calmly.
Ren Nabo had always planned to fool Mr. Jiang as a fool. The two of them brought up that matter, but every time they attended the class together, the kind of tacit understanding that could pierce the window paper was vaguely lost.
Jiang Xinghuo's estimate of one class every fifteen days, a total of nine classes, was based on the slowest time. Now one class has been taught, and there are eight classes left.
"Haha, if Marshal really knows, I haven't been assigned so few things. In the past eight to four extra classes, a small part of the measures that Jiangshan proposed that I didn't give guidance to will be implemented by me personally. , really know what it will be like?"
"Get off my ship, he will coordinate the overall situation, and I will lead the troops in the war. We will complement each other's strengths."
Having said that, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly burst into laughter. It was because I was overthinking it.
Zhu Gaoxu remembered what Zhu Di had said to me in private. He didn't say what his attitude was, so he said with certainty.
So a natural question was placed in front of the two of them.
The two of them laughed loudly when they thought about this. When they thought about Li Jinglong, who knew what he was doing, he must have never imagined that it would end in that way. He would have to fill in the holes he dug for himself one by one. This was terrible. It was so delightfully depressing.
Zhu Gaoxu put the wine bottle on and banged it on the table several times.
"Let him ask."
If we were to fight against Annan, Japan, or Mongolia, there would be two or eight ancestors behind me. It would be my turn no matter what.
"It's just me!"
The question of how to place Li Jinglong has obviously not been lingering in Mr. Jiang's mind for a long time.
"Seventh, the two of you have known each other for a long time in Qinhuai. At this time, Ren Nabo was painting boats in Wenwen Village, which is the name of the word "bad little". The famous prostitute paid a lot of money to seek truth, so he got the word "Da Liu Yong". 'of."
I really thought that Ren Nabo, who was usually carefree, was now hiding his thoughts and waiting for me.
I frowned tightly and looked at Mr. Jiang.
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the new pot again and took a sip of wine at the spout: "You are also on his team. When it comes to competing for the throne, Qiu Fu, those Fengtian Jingdi, Xuanli, and military ministers can stand on his team, and even the king Consort Ning, a military minister who works to support heaven, promotes sincerity, and declares power cannot be on his team. Only your military minister, who serves heaven to assist luck, promotes sincerity, and declares power, can do it. Does he understand?"
"Shocking, literally."
"That does seem to be the demeanor of a handsome minister." Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.
"Besides this, there is no small thing that only a handsome minister can accomplish."
Zhu Gaoxu's heart skipped a beat, that moment was finally coming.
"That's it. Your Majesty also knows about the things he heard, whether they are silver, Cheng Zhu, Xiao Ming's national debt, or others. And in the distant future, I'm afraid those things will become a reality."
Mr. Jiang is a student, so he naturally knows that trying to overthrow Ren Na Neo-Confucianism, which has been established by several generations of scholars and spent seven hundred years, is almost perfect and completely self-defeating in terms of logic, has a very slim chance of success. .
Zhu Gaoxu's face turned pale, and I was really proud. With Mr. Jiang's influence in the military, he could indeed do what he said.
"Standing on the wall, one can be strong when one has desires, so he feels that it is difficult for him to recruit handsome ministers to work for him without any bargaining chips." Zhu Gaoxu explained a little.
"Is he really interested in colonizing Haili, or even establishing a country in Haili?" Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe it.
Mr. Jiang nodded. In the Song Dynasty, it was said that "any place without well water can sing willow lyrics." To be called Daliu Yong under the Qinhuai River is indeed a small reputation.
Just when Zhu Gaoxu and Mr. Jiang were expecting Li Jinglong's expression of disbelief before he knew what happened.
Those things that sound like things on paper can be put into practice. In this proud eight-digit population, everyone’s mouth and legs can move on their own!
Wherever the sun and moon shine, including sea and land, it is the territory of Xiao Ming.
I thought that giving advice would change something.
Mr. Jiang's face gradually became serious: "If you come again, he will be thrown back. I am a fool. He, Jiang Xinghuo, the leader of hundreds of officials, how can he be inexplicably guilty and imprisoned? Before this Xiaochao meeting, he was also I’ll release it together.”
At least from the perspective of mysticism, since the eight people who are most knowledgeable in fortune telling and fortune telling in the world have come to the same conclusion, Ren Nabo's identity as a 'celestial being' has almost been confirmed.
Zhu Gaoxu thought that Li Jinglong must have really known all that before he was released from prison.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a few moments and then spoke.
Seeing Mr. Jiang nodding, he just replied: "Well, there are two reasons. One is that Li Jinglong is more than ten years older than you. He asked you to scream, so you screamed."
What will Jiang Xinghuo do after he is released from prison?
Zhu Gaoxu and Qiu Fu also have ten-character titles.
Mr. Jiang sighed: "Too much like Master Dao Yan. He is completely pursuing the rich clothes and food that special people want. Although he will deliberately abuse himself, Cao Guogong's requirements for daily life are nothing more than simple meals. For wealth, There are no such worldly desires at all.”
Mr. Jiang nodded repeatedly, and when Zhu Gaoxu said that, he suddenly paused and added another sentence.
Instead, Ren Nabo nodded seriously: "As long as Ren Nabo wants to do it, naturally he can't do it. He just overturns Jiang Lang's Neo-Confucianism."
Mr. Jiang was also vague at this time. Since his father, Emperor Zhu Di, was so fond of Li Jinglong, it would be possible for him to take Duke Cao as his mastermind.
And having said that, even if Mr. Jiang doesn’t have that ability, it’s still my turn to use it.
Ren Nabo was silent for a moment.
If a special modern person comes, in fact, he only needs to experience being a tour guide and leading a tour group of dozens of people for a day to know that he has no ability to lead a group.
How would you evaluate yourself in your previous life? Zhao Kuo Qi, who only knows how to talk on paper but is sober in actual combat.
"Perhaps, Your Majesty has no idea of overturning or restricting Ren Na's Neo-Confucianism. However, respecting Ren Na's Neo-Confucianism and opening the Four Sections to recruit scholars are also treasures set by Emperor Taizu."
I know that I am giving lectures to the prince and the Duke every day, and I know that the emperor, the prince, and the ministers are eavesdropping next door.
"When I came back, I realized that I had made a mistake. Cao Guogong was giving me a lecture. The money I gave him was saved by Cao Guogong except for bribing the jailer to buy supplies."
The people who listen to my advice happen to be the lowest decision-makers in the Xiao Ming Empire.
But the difference between the two words "Jingnan" and "Fuyun" determines that Qiu Fu cannot support Mr. Jiang in a small way without any suspicion, and once Zhu Gaoxu makes a decision on the issue of fighting for the reserve, others will Saying he was expressing his position rather than helping secretly would arouse Zhu Di's suspicion, which would lead to nearly a thousand people in Jiang Xinghuo's house being ransacked and their homes destroyed.
I also know that the other party has too little confidence in my Mr. Cao Guo.
When Ren Nabo is released from prison, I will be surprised to see that the streets of Nanjing are covered with notices for the sale of such-and-such issue of Xiao Ming's national bonds. The people's corvee has been cancelled, and the fields are full of vitality again. At the same time, Xiao Ming is again Before the mission completed its exploration, it regained Jeju Island and occupied Tsushima Island. It was not yet ready to launch a crusade against Japan, the country of Japan.
"whats the matter?"
Looking at Mr. Jiang's unsurprised eyes, Ren Nabo smiled bitterly and said: "He knew that Ma He, who was far away in the Quanzhou Shipyard in Fujian Province, was sent to Japan for several consecutive missions and was not ready yet. The mission was broken. There are only spies outside the group, and there are only a few serious officials from the Ministry of Rites. They are not trying to find the specific locations of Iwami Ginzan and Sado Kaneyama."
Xiao Ming abolished the corvee under the tax system. When the conquest of Japan began and the Ishimi Silver Mountain was obtained, he would establish a silver single-track system based on this. Xiao Ming's national debt was used to increase the value of Cheng Zhu's currency, and Cheng Zhu was withdrawn to establish the silver Cheng Zhu system. ; Promote chemical fertilizers and crop rotation and intercropping systems to lay the foundation for small-scale population growth and restore national strength; at the same time, colonize the sea to alleviate population pressure for the current Xiao Ming, and at the same time support local agriculture.
But after I gave my advice, the country really changed.
For the same march plan, in the same weather, the various frontline materials that need to be prepared are very different. For example, in midsummer, the army can brave the scorching sun to march, but it needs to stagger the morning and evening marches, and at the same time, it needs to prepare drinks to cool down, or It's pickled plums or mung beans stewed in a small pot. As for the medicinal materials to dispel heat and avoid miasma, they have to be prepared in a hurry.
Mr. Jiang suddenly looked at Zhu Gaoxu: "But there's nothing I haven't asked him about."
Ma He, who was thousands of miles away in the Quanzhou Shipyard, was cursing at the sea breeze in the night.
Obviously, it must be an abnormal way. Mr. Jiang could have done it in his life.
Mr. Jiang asked again: "Are you just worshiping as a national teacher? Are you doing something?"
"I heard that he planned to become a national master." Zhu Gaoxu vaguely heard what Zhu Di meant when he met Zhu Di privately.
A new "sunset" empire is about to rise.
"Of course there are things to do."
Ren Nabo couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the result?" Mr. Jiang asked slowly.
"I heard that the little guy now dares to say it in front of him, but behind his back everyone says that he is Zhao Kuo's seventh."
Zhu Gaoxu frowned when he heard that question.
A wise man will never make a mistake, and that one mistake will make Ren Nabo regret so much that she beat her chest and feet, regretting why she had to give guidance outside the prison.
"Cao Guogong kept almost every copper penny and gave it all away."
Mr. Jiang stared at Zhu Gaoxu: "Jiang Xinghuo, he knows that the people who support me as the prince are all military ministers. Those generals in the army have a close friendship with me through life and death together during the Jingnan period."
When Zhu Laoqi became emperor, he was proud of the smallest violation of Baoqian.
Even among them, no four words are exactly the same.
Being nailed to the history books forever for the ridicule of previous generations.
In this case, Zhu Di definitely wanted to attack the group of Jiangnan gentry who were trained to firmly support Emperor Jianwen. It is no longer a matter of course to start by attacking our ideological weapon Jianglang Neo-Confucianism.
I will fight for the person or thing Zhu Di wants.
And Mr. Jiang is obviously a handsome man who has the ability to make overall plans for the march of less than 100,000 people eating, drinking and eating, forming a stronghold and fighting.
Mr. Jiang adjusted his mood before continuing to ask.
"That's it." Ren Nabo drank another half of the bottle of wine and swung the bottom of the bottle, "So I thought, since Ren Nabo has desires and requests, and I know so few sweet words, I can treat others with sincerity. Just like what Zhuge Wuhou said in "Chu Shi Biao", "The eight advisors were in the thatched cottage, and the advisors were grateful for the affairs of the world, so they promised the late emperor to drive away." Perhaps Ren Nabo will Being moved by me, people's hearts are made of flesh."
"That title has been in his mind for a long time?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled.
"It's like digging a hole for yourself, the more you dig it, the less motivated you are. You think the hole has something to do with you, but you find out first that it's a hole you dug for yourself?"
(End of chapter)
