Su Xi reminded from the side: "Husband, Xue Xuan is the leader of the Cheng-Zhu School. If they want to fight, maybe they want to start a Confucian dispute."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Whatever, let's take it step by step and wait for them to make the first move. Order Xue Xuan, who is also a bachelor of Dongge, to join the cabinet to participate in machine maintenance. Order Wang Yining, who is also a bachelor of Hanlin Lecturer, to attend the Sutra Banquet.
After getting dressed up, let's go see the Annan envoy. "
Qianxue smiled and said: "It's not over yet. Wang Yan, the accompaniment of the Qing Mansion, has a memorial. Husband, would you like to listen to it?"
"A royal accompaniment to read and write a memorial to the emperor? It's quite rare, just think about it."
Su Xi thought: "The imperial court used the area near Datong to accumulate grain reserves. It was only thirty years since the Xuande period, and it was estimated that the accumulated rice, millet, gold, and silk were no more than one or two million.
However, in the autumn, the Chou captives invaded the bandits, and they suddenly ran out of supplies, so they sent reports to the envoys on their way.
It turns out that because of the promotion of Shen Gu, the censor of Zuodu, and the two grain officials of Buyi, he arbitrarily deceived and lent rice, grain, gold and silk to the wealthy officials' families, causing the warehouses to be depleted and the people to suffer from food shortages. Fleeing, the borders are in ruins. Please send the supervisory censor Charlie. "
Zhu Qiyu laughed after hearing this: "You heard it, in the same place as Guangda, starting from the so-called recuperation during the Xuande period, there was no more than one or two million rice, chestnuts, gold and silk in the account.
Then my poor elder brother really believed in those loyal generals in Shanxi who followed Xuanzong and Sanyang to recuperate.
When he led his army to Datong, just as Wang Yan said, the warehouses were empty, the people were short of food, hungry people were running around, and the border was in ruins.
The wealth of one or two million has long since grown legs and flown away. It doesn't matter if the gold and silver are gone, the key is that all the food that the army urgently needs is gone.
This can reasonably explain all the strange things during the war.
When I arrived in Datong, I saw with my own eyes that my eldest brother realized how loyal and patriotic the officials in Shanxi were, and then he hurried back. As a result, the entire Shanxi was governed in a mess, and Xuanfu and Datong were also very different.
Therefore, the eldest brother could no longer run away, and his personal expedition turned into hunting in the north. "
Holding Lin Xiangyu in his arms and taking a sip of milk, Zhu Qiyu continued to mock: "We have to thank these famous ministers and generals in Shanxi, even our residence is given to them.
Without them, we would not be emperor. If you don't become the emperor, you won't be able to turn the entire Yuquan Mountain into a private residence.
Well, according to this logic, we should reward the former governor of Datong for a long time. "
Qianxue asked: "Then just send the governor of Datong to Jinyiwei for imprisonment? Also, do you want Luo Hengxin, the former governor of Datong and Xuanfu, to be conferred with Lingchi?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Shen Gu was sent to prison, and Luo Hengxin was let go. He became the governor of Xuanfu and Datong in less than a year, and the Tumu Fort incident happened.
Is just one year enough to turn Shanxi Huohuo into that? Whoever is responsible is responsible, and Luo Hengxin cannot be blamed for everything. "
Su Xi smiled and said: "There is another paragraph in Wang Yan's memorial: Monks and Taoists have been customized. Now there are fake tours as excuses, either for committing wrongdoing, for avoiding guilt, for wanton theft, or for talking nonsense. Public.
It is advisable to order soldiers and horses in the five cities in Beijing, and to patrol and supervise the imperial censor's physical visits abroad. It is forbidden to live in a monastery or temple, and any violation will be punished. "
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Let's bring this memorial to the court for discussion. Who is this Wang Yan? He is accompanied by the Qing family. Isn't King Qing in Ningxia?"
Have I been feeling dizzy these past two days? Why can't I always understand their ways? "
Qianxue said with a smile: "Prince Qing and other feudal princes are locked up in the Prince's Hall in the capital. Maybe Prince Qing brought this companion to the capital with him."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, let this Wang Yan come over when you have time, and I will interview him personally."
Su Xi picked up another memorial.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu started to cover his head again.
Su Xi read: "Pengcheng Bo Zhang Jin granted him the title of king in Jiangxi Province and ordered his family to sell goods and silk and load the horse boat back. The school captain got it and sent him to the Ministry of Punishment. He said that he should be sent to the army to go to the frontier."
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "No, does the Ministry of Punishment want to banish Uncle Peng Cheng into the army, or does it want to banish Uncle Peng Cheng's criminal family members into the army?"
Su Xi replied: "We want to send Pengcheng Bo Zhang Jin into exile."
Zhu Qiyu was speechless: "I don't understand again. Zhang Jin, the uncle of Pengcheng, was sent to Jiangxi to confer the title of county king on behalf of the imperial court. When he came back, he picked up some goods and silk to resell.
And then for such a bad thing, the Ministry of Punishment is going to banish Peng Chengbo into the army and exile him?
Zhang Jin is the great-nephew of the Empress Dowager, doesn’t the Ministry of Punishment know? How come they are more nostalgic than me? "
Su Xi spread her hands helplessly: "Xue Xuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, is so upright, so what can we do?"
"Hey, okay, tell the Punishment Department to take a moment and I'll deal with it later."
Su Xi picked up another memorial and wanted to read it.
Zhu Qiyu was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "My dear wife, stop reading, stop reading, I don't want to hear it anymore. Please help me change my clothes. Let's go for a walk by the lake, and then go to see the Annan envoy."
So a few people got up, dressed neatly, walked around Yuquan Lake twice, and then leisurely strolled to Qingyun Pavilion.
Zhu Qiyu and his beloved concubines were leaning on the soft couch to watch the scenery, while Anguo envoy Cheng Zhenhao had already arrived outside the Ganquan gate.
Cheng Zhen has been in the capital for more than a month, but due to the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, he has not been summoned.
Cheng Zhen was suddenly summoned by the emperor in person today, which made Cheng Zhen very uneasy: The emperor liquidated Sanyang and intended to regain Jiaozhi. This was almost an open and undisguised matter in the capital. This errand was quite difficult to accomplish.
Different from the splendor of the Forbidden City, the exterior walls of Prince Qi's Mansion have simple blue bricks and a completely different style.
Just looking at the palace in front of him and the Qi State Avenue at his feet, Cheng Zhen could see that the current emperor was completely different from the original Ming Emperor.
When Cheng Zhen was hesitating, He Yi came up to him with a smile: "I'm neglecting your noble envoy. What should I do? I'm following the emperor's order to welcome your noble envoy into the cabinet."
Cheng Zhen was shocked when he heard this. Over the past month or so, Cheng Zhen, a figure in the capital, had also learned about a big difference. The Bachelor of Youchunfang in front of me is one of the most popular civil servants today.
Cheng Zhen hurriedly bowed and saluted: "It turns out that it was a great scholar who personally welcomed me, and the subordinates were frightened."
He Yi said a few polite words and accompanied Cheng Zhen into the Ganquan Palace with a smile, looking at the flowers and scenery along the way. When he reached Guanxin Pavilion, Cheng Zhen stopped and looked at the scenery of the lake and mountains.
Cheng Zhen asked curiously: "Does the Emperor of Heaven always summon ministers here? There are springs in the mountains, pavilions on the top of the mountain, lakes and mountains, complementing each other. White jade towers are dotted among them.
This does not look like a place of governance, but rather like the Taoist Misty Immortal Palace.
Xiaguan has lived in a small and remote country for a long time, and he never thought that the emperor could live in such a place. "
He Yi smiled and said: "The Emperor of Heaven has always lived in the Forbidden City, and the Holy One is the only exception today. Once you meet the Holy One, your envoy needs to be careful in dealing with it."
When Cheng Zhen heard this, he took out a piece of beautiful jade from his sleeve and stuffed it into He Yi's hand: "I'm a humble official. I'd like to ask a bachelor to give me some advice."
He Yi refused very resolutely: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for never accepting gifts from others, but I can explain a few things to your Majesty.
Since you have been in the capital for a month, you should have heard about the Holy Master.
The Holy Emperor regards himself as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, admires Taoism, and is good at governing the country based on the learning of Huang Lao. He imitates the example of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty in every aspect.
Jiaozhi is Han territory, and the Holy Emperor will definitely recover it. There is no room for negotiation on this point, so your envoy does not need to take any chances.
However, the Holy One is willing to confer the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty on the current head of the Annan Kingdom, and give him preferential treatment. I advise your envoy to do more good things for the Annan Kingdom.
His Majesty's military capabilities definitely exceeded your envoy's expectations. Chief Wala Yexian didn't believe this at first. It only took a year, but he is now under house arrest by the Ministry of Punishment.
I hope that Lord Annan will not have to wait for the day when Kazuya will be his companion first. "
Cheng Zhen replied: "In the early years of Xuande, the Ming Dynasty lost troops and generals in Annan and lost its troops and humiliated the country. Emperor Xuanmiao was universally recognized as a wise, divine and martial king, but he was unable to recover.
Could it be that today's emperor can still defeat the Emperor Xuanmiao? "
Hearing this, He Yi shook his head and closed his mouth.
It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words. If you insist that Xuan Miao is a prosperous and wise king, then why are you trying to persuade him?
In the early days of the unified dynasty, a prosperous and wise king who abandoned his land everywhere was quite rare, let alone unprecedented.
He Yi made an invitation gesture and very politely led Cheng Zhen into Qingyun Pavilion and to the third floor.
Cheng Zhen bowed his head and did not dare to look up.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I invite your envoy here today just for a casual chat. Your envoy does not need to be restrained. Please feel free."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhen bravely raised his head and glanced.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The emperor in front of him was dressed in white, simple and elegant, handsome and handsome, but he had a certain air of immortality.
The most important thing is that beside the emperor are four beautiful girls, two of whom look exactly the same, making Cheng Zhen almost think he is being dazzled.
Zhu Qiyu ordered Cheng Zhen to sit down and drink tea, and talked about the local customs and customs. Then he got to the point: "I invite your envoy to inform your country that we, the Ming Dynasty, are about to raise troops to regain Jiaozhi.
Please let your envoy go back and inform the king of the country. If you are willing to negotiate with Ming Dynasty, you can come in person or send a plenipotentiary envoy.
Your country still has the whole next year. In the year after tomorrow, which is the fourth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty will take back Jiaozhi by force. "
Cheng Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the Annan Li Dynasty is a vassal state officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty. How can your Majesty raise troops to attack without any reason?"
Zhu Qiyu returned: "When Xuan Miao succeeded to the throne, the traitor San Yang was in power and deceived Sheng Cong. Now that San Yang has been liquidated, the traitorous decision they made back then will naturally be forgotten.
Besides, the Ming Dynasty recognized the Annan-Ten Dynasty, and it was Li Li who killed the Annam king Chen Song and usurped the throne to establish himself.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has eliminated the traitors, it is natural to correct the chaos and regain Jiaozhi. "
Cheng Zhen wanted to refute, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, we must regain Jiaozhi. It is useless for your envoy to talk too much. If you insist on this unnecessary verbal dispute, you can go to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple."
After Cheng Zhen heard this, he no longer obsessed with these legal disputes, but asked curiously: "The Holy Admiral's intention to attack Annan and the time to launch the war were so clearly stated. Isn't he afraid that Annan will prepare for war in advance, so that Ming Ming The army is unable to move forward, will it repeat the failure of the Xuande Dynasty again?"
