Jie Jin blinked, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
In the sweet potato field not far away, the supervisors who had worked hard for a long time kept praising the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
When people are eating, all disputes will temporarily stop.
Zhu Yunxi stared at Jie Jin with some uncertainty: "Can it be true? Don't you know who else is in Fengyang?"
According to what Xie Jin said, the reason for going to Fengyang was to represent the imperial court and attend the funeral of Duke Xin.
but!
The crippled man is also in Fengyang.
Zhu Yunxi had not seen him for several years since he was demoted to a useless person and imprisoned in Fengyang.
Not long ago, he got married in Fengyang. Although it was handled according to the level of a county king, the court only sent an official from the Ministry of Rites to go there.
After many years of separation, Zhu Yunxi still clearly remembers the scene when he saw Zhu Yunwen off at Dongshuiguan Pier.
I just don’t know what the situation and appearance of the other party will be like now.
If he goes to Fengyang, he will definitely not miss Zhu Yunzhen.
Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was thinking in his eyes, and after pondering, he changed his words: "The negotiation between the imperial court and the Oara tribe's envoy Mahamu is about to end, and the terms of negotiation between the court and the Oara tribe have been basically reached, although there are still some There are conflicts, but for now, the priority is to make good friends, and conflicts will be put aside for the time being.”
The Oara tribe sent envoys to Yingtian this time. In fact, they only asked for a few points.
The Ming Dynasty's military core outside the Great Wall still focused on the Mongolian Tatar tribe on the east side. The Ming Dynasty needed the forces outside the Great Wall to disperse and prevent them from uniting together. The Oara tribe also needs to develop silently, trying to create a new world on the vast grassland.
Both sides know what the other side thinks, and all negotiations and conditions are plots on the table. It depends on who can win and have the last laugh.
The imperial court was almost ready to negotiate good terms with Mahamu.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you not planning to let me stay in Yingtian for the New Year?"
"Why did your Highness say this?"
Xie Jin immediately looked shocked and stared at Zhu Yunxi with a somewhat sulky face in confusion.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said quietly: "Attending the funeral of Duke Xin on behalf of the imperial court, I am afraid that the crippled man will also have to meet me.
After the Fengyang matter is over, Mahamu will probably return to the grassland from Yingtian.
Let me think about it...which important minister the imperial court will send to accompany me out of the capital. "
Xie Jin shook his head repeatedly: "The cabinet has not thought so, why does His Highness say so?"
The deputy minister of the cabinet looked innocent, with a look of confusion and surprise on his face.
Zhu Yunxi snorted repeatedly, with an unhappy expression on his face: "It must be Gao Chunfeng! If there is an important minister in the court, who can compare with Minister Wenyuan Pavilion today?"
Ren Hengtai is the chief minister and cannot leave Beijing easily. You are the head of Xinxue, and you still need to pay close attention to the New Deal. Wei Guogong was from the Dudu's Mansion, and it seemed that attending the funeral of Duke Xin and going to the grassland to negotiate with the Oara tribe would not bother him.
Gao Chunfeng is the youngest, so he is naturally the best candidate for such a long journey.
If this is really the case... After visiting Fengyang, Gao Chunfeng, the cabinet minister in charge of the errands of the Three Law Departments, must still be inspecting the River Governor's Mansion during the winter. If the court now allocates so much money and food, people in the court must see the current results with their own eyes.
After we get to the outside of the Great Wall and discuss matters with the Oara tribe, do we still need to patrol the border? After all this calculation, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing until this time next year. "
God knows why I have to do so many things!
With just one sentence from Xie Jin, Zhu Yunxi figured out his next plan in a short time.
Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with the cabinet at all, and can only be decided by the old man.
It's just that I clearly wanted to stay in Yingtian with peace of mind and supervise the affairs of the Meritorious Mausoleum. How could I be kicked out of Yingtian now and be involved in such a big circle outside?
This is what Zhu Yunxi cannot understand the most.
It doesn't make sense.
Xie Jin indeed showed a clumsy expression of realization, clapped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness is really quick-thinking and extraordinarily brave. The cabinet is indeed discussing these matters, but they originally wanted to send officials out of the capital to deal with them.
But what His Highness said actually connected all these things together. Calculated in this way, it turned out to be the easiest and most reassuring method for the court.
But I'm afraid it will be hard for His Highness, having to travel thousands of miles and work by boat and carriage. "
"Jie Dashen!"
Zhu Yunxi drank in a deep voice and looked at Xie Jin, who had no acting talent, with cold eyes.
Xie Jin's face perked up, he cupped his hands and nodded, saying, "I'm here."
Why……
Zhu Yunxi sighed: "Tell me, how did you and my old man discuss it, and what was the purpose?"
Jie Jin blinked: "I have not discussed anything with His Majesty, let alone any purpose..."
While speaking, Xie Jin's eyes were secretly looking at Zhu Yunxi, carefully observing the changes in the expression on his face.
Zhu Yunxi glared and cursed: "If I don't say anything else, you, the Wenyuan Pavilion Cabinet Minister, will stay in Shanglinyuan Prison digging sweet potatoes for the rest of your life!"
stingy!
Jie Jin moved his mouth, shook his head, and whispered: "Your Majesty wants you to walk around more in the past two years to see what the scene is like in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Take a trip to Jiubian, It’s not just for the sake of establishing a good relationship with the Oara tribe. Hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding the nine sides, and the clan kings are away all year round. What does your majesty mean..."
"Is the old man making arrangements for his death?"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes silently felt a little lonely, and his tone became calmer.
Xie Jin shook his head repeatedly: "I would never dare to think so."
I don’t dare to think about it, but that’s the fact.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "This is the plan. Now that I can leave the capital at will, I made such an arrangement. Let's see what the various places are like, so that we won't be deceived by the local authorities in the future.
A trip to Jiubian also made me understand the true nature of those clan princes and uncles, and it also made me, the emperor's grandson Xuanwei, a Jiubian frontier soldier. "
Jie Jin blinked, he had long said that he was not suitable to do such a thing of cheating the emperor's grandson, but Ren Hengtai, an old man with a righteous speech, was born as a courtesy official, let alone such a thing.
His beloved disciple Gao Chunfeng was also thin-skinned. When Wei Guogong encountered such things, he always pretended to be asleep.
After all the calculations, in such a large cabinet, such errands fell on me.
Xie Jin nodded: "Actually, this was the original plan for the prince to leave the capital two years ago. But something like that happened to the prince at that time, so the matter was temporarily stopped.
The imperial court will implement new policies in the past two years. How it will fare at the local level cannot be known until His Highness sees it for himself. With the spring breeze accompanying us, when His Highness returns to Beijing, the ministers and others in the cabinet will know the advantages and disadvantages of the new policy. "
Zhu Yunxi hummed twice again.
The prince and his father definitely don't need ministers to take care of their lives.
According to today's words, Jie Jin and the others are appointed by the old man to be his ministers who care about life.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but frown. Recently, the old man often lamented that he was old and no longer what he used to be.
This is not a very good sign.
But according to the original process, now in the 28th year of Hongwu, there will still be...
Zhu Yunxi shook his head, unwilling to think too much about this issue.
Suddenly he learned that he was about to be kicked out of Yingtian City, and he would have to wander outside for a whole year, travel thousands of miles, and make a big circle before he could respond to Tiancheng again.
Zhu Yunxi also stayed in the Shanglinyuan Prison to watch the gang of supervisors digging sweet potatoes.
After patting him, Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xie Jin.
" Mr. Xie is becoming more and more mature now. He seems to be incapable of pretending, but in fact he is the best at pretending.
Let's go and go back to the palace to talk to my old man about this matter. "
Jie Jin, who was exposed, looked embarrassed.
He just nodded and cupped his hands.
"I respectfully send you off to Your Highness."
…
"I will see you, Your Highness."
In front of the Huagai Hall, four people, Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu, Ma Hongqing and Niu Dafu, dressed in official robes of their respective ranks, stood beside the hall door and saluted Zhu Yunxi who had just returned from Shanglin Garden Prison.
Things are not that simple at all!
Zhu Yunxi thought about the old man's intention to drive him away from Yingtian City all the way to the Huagai Palace.
The shouts of Gao Yangzhi and the four people just woke him up.
He looked up at the four people beside the palace door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Did the old man start making arrangements so soon?
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the four of them and waved his hand: "I don't have to pay tribute, but have you just met His Majesty?"
Among the four, Gao Yangzhi has the highest official position. He is the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, cabinet minister, and censor of Zuodu of the Supervisory Yuan.
He raised his hands and cupped them, glanced at the three people around him, and then said, "Reporting to your highness, your majesty has summoned the ministers today and has just finished speaking."
He doesn't talk much and has a tight mouth.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at the other three people around Gao Yangzhi.
Bai Yuxiu is now the head of the Department of Civil Affairs and Literary Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He first entered the school of Xinxue, and after observing politics, he served as the eighth-rank governor of the official general affairs envoy Si Zheng. Later, there was a flood in Henan and the officialdom was in turmoil. In order to pave the way for those students who were interested in politics, he was promoted to the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Personnel.
Ma Hongqing was the Qianhu officer in charge of the Majun Camp of the Beijing Army, and he also went to Henan Province to quell the rebellion. But now, looking at the official robe he is wearing, he has been promoted and has become a commanding officer of the Beijing Military Guard.
The above two people followed Gao Yangzhi into the palace to meet the saint, which was both expected and reasonable by Zhu Yunxi.
However, the last Niu Dafu surprised Zhu Yunxi.
This man was still an official of hundreds of households under the name of the Eastern Expedition Army. When the Eastern Expedition Army wiped out the Japanese country, it was this Niu Dafu who returned to Beijing with the good news.
[In view of the general environment,
It seems that he has stayed in Yingtian since then.
In Zhu Yunxi's idea, the most he could do was to get a promotion from the Governor's Office and stay in the Beijing army and give him a good job.
But looking at the other party's new official robe, he turned out to be an official with thousands of households.
The old man has already chosen the people to accompany him.
Zhu Yunxi thought silently in his heart, smiled softly and said, "Do you want to wait here alone?"
Niu Dafu lowered his head, and Bai Yuxiu looked at the withered flower beam above his head.
Wang Hongqing looked left and right, and finally stared at the highest-ranking Gao Yang without moving.
Gao Yangzhi smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I have to wait here."
"Then wait for the lonely face saint to come out and speak."
Zhu Yunxi stamped his feet, turned around and waved his sleeves and entered the Huagai Hall.
Entering the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yunxi obviously had some strange feelings. He had not seen the Holy Spirit in the Huagai Hall for an unknown period of time.
Upon entering the Huagai Hall, the old man was nowhere to be seen on the throne directly above.
Zhu Yunxi habitually looked to the side hall.
Behind the open door, it turned out that the old man and the prince's father were sitting opposite each other, playing chess and drinking tea.
"The grandson sees his grandfather and his father."
Zhu Yunxi respectfully walked to the two of them and bowed.
Peng.
The chess pieces fall onto the board.
"Prince, you lost this game again..."
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter with joy, turned to look at his eldest grandson who had returned to the palace, and tsked: "Senior Jie is really quick in doing things. I got your boy back so quickly."
Zhu Yunxi smiled dryly: "My grandson is about to be kicked out of the house by his grandfather. How can he not come back and find out what he did wrong?"
Shout out grievance
, after selling out, Zhu Yunxi kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
In front of the chessboard, Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, laughed silently twice, and then returned from the chessboard with the chess basket pieces.
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief and turned around: "I asked you to leave the capital to do business."
"Grandpa took a detour this time and let his grandson know from Xie Dashen's mouth, but it made him feel a little uneasy." Zhu Yunxi spoke truthfully.
"Look at your son, he looks pitiful, but with this temper, he doesn't know who to follow, he's so stubborn! He has to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Yunxi and complained to Zhu Biao who was returning home. Two sentences.
Zhu Biao chuckled and said, "My son thinks that he is probably following his father's temper."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at the prince, and then said to Zhu Yunxi: "Let you go out for a walk and see for grandpa, can you still be wronged in the future?"
Zhu Yunxi immediately changed his words: "Of course there is no grievance, it's just..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man carefully.
Getting closer, if you look closely, you can see that the old man is really much older.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Don't look at it, your grandpa is really old. Let me tell you, after you go out of Beijing and go around, the new policy of the DPRK and China will probably be on the right track. Next, grandpa will pour The nine sides used all their strength to march north to pacify the grasslands, which allowed us, the Ming Dynasty, to graze in the desert.
When that time comes, grandpa will give in. I will be the emperor and you will be the prince. I will take Sheng'er and Poria cocos with me and live a life of caring for my grandchildren. "
Although he knew what the old man was thinking.
But when the old man said this, Zhu Biao immediately put down the chess basket in his hand and knelt on the ground beside him.
Zhu Yunxi also quickly knelt down at this time.
"Grandpa is in good health and has a long life. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without grandpa, and the imperial court cannot do without grandpa. Grandpa must never give in."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "I am the emperor! I want to abdicate, how dare you stop me? After settling the affairs inside and outside the palace in the past few days, get out of Beijing as soon as possible. After this trip, our Ming Dynasty will It’s really safe.”
