What do cabinet ministers do? Lan Yu firmly believes that the cabinet ministers in Wenyuan Pavilion in Yingtian City are the ones who write Braille for His Majesty the Emperor.
It doesn't matter what these people do, what matters is that they represent the will of the supreme ruler of the empire.
With this alone, Lan Yu chose to give the other party a bit of respect. He sneered: "Isn't His Highness's northern tour to rectify the rules of the world?" This Duke of Liang had indeed studied.
With a smile on his face, Gao Yangzhi nodded and said, "What the Duke said is absolutely true." After finishing speaking, Gao Yangzhi looked at Lan Yu a few more times.
The temperament of Duke Liang seems to be really different. Zhu Yunxi's face was calm. It's not Lan Yu's temperament that has changed, nor is it just that he said these words after reading a few books.
It was because of the changes in the current situation in the court that he was willing to say these words. What would happen to Lan Yu if she was still just a clan member trapped in the East Palace?
I'm afraid it will remain in its original state. Because he would be worried about the succession of power within the East Palace, he needed to be domineering to cover up his uneasiness, and he also needed to use domineering to show his sense of existence and maintain his current status.
But now, the Ming Dynasty is stable and the prince is wise. Although Lan Yu is still arrogant, she is no longer domineering.
He looked at Lan Yu with a smile on his face and said softly: "Uncle Lan has come all the way. I'm afraid he hasn't eaten yet. Why don't you buy a bowl of noodles from Taiqiu Station first?" Lan Yu didn't refuse.
People in the military, no matter how high their status is, as long as they are in the military, they don't care about appearance. These people will eat whatever the soldiers eat.
Lan Yu laughed loudly: "His Highness has taken care of me and waited for you. After coming all the way, Wei Chen's stomach is really empty." As he spoke, Lan Yu waved his hand and patted his stomach, making a dull sound. ring.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing, and walked to the inn in front of him. Over there, the people at the inn had already prepared a bowl of noodles for Duke Liang.
I would rather neglect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than offend the Duke. His Royal Highness Taisun is magnanimous, and most of the slightest slights from his subordinates are dealt with lightly, dismissed lightly, or laughed off.
But this Duke is different. He can really kill people! Lan Yu looked at the postman who was carefully not far from the table, waiting to see if he was satisfied, and deliberately glared at him.
The postman immediately trembled and lowered his head. Zhu Yunxi chuckled lightly: "My uncle, why bother to scare a postman?" Lan Yu shook his shoulders and took a mouthful of noodles into his mouth. He didn't care about the image and chewed while saying: "I am afraid of power but not virtue. I am a Soldier leader, just make people fear you. Your Highness should be responsible for the affairs of Huaide." Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly and said quietly: "What my uncle said, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. In the past two years, he has been killing people. Gu Yi has done a lot of things."
"Shi Wei, it's still too late to do evil things again." Lan Yu peeled off several heads of garlic, stuffed them into her mouth one by one, chewed them hard a few times, and then continued to pull the noodles into her mouth.
He squeezed the food in his mouth hard with his big mouth, quickly swallowed it into his stomach, and then moistened it with a mouthful of noodle soup.
This was repeated several times in succession. There was only an empty ocean bowl left on the table. Burp...Lanyu raised her head to the sky and let out a long and loud burp.
He lowered his head and rubbed his mouth with both hands. After that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and continued: "This time things are not like before. Both the White Lotus Sect and the Shanxi merchants are closely related. The reason why I asked you to come here this time is to kill someone for your highness." Yes!" He said at the end.
The original frivolity on Lan Yu's face disappeared without a trace in an instant. Killing intent burst out wantonly from Lan Yu's eyes.
He just sat quietly at the table, with the murderous aura around him unstoppable. Gao Yangzhi whispered from the side: "Duke Liang, this time His Highness is on the northern tour, you don't necessarily have to kill people..." To deal with the White Lotus Sect, we can only wait for the other party to jump out one by one, so that the court can have a clear goal. Search and suppress.
Otherwise, the imperial court would have wiped out those people in the White Lotus Sect over the years. As for the Shanxi merchants on Shanxi Road.
Before the problem of food and grass needs for the Jiubian soldiers is solved, the Shanxi merchants who hold the Kaizhong system cannot easily move.
As soon as they move, the hundreds of thousands of border troops on the nine sides will be cut off from their logistical supplies and fall into a situation where there is no food available.
Lan Yu snorted coldly.
"Soldiers are very fast. Since they know where the enemy is, they have to strike first and seize the opportunity." After Lan Yu said something to Gao Yangzhi, he turned to Zhu Yunxi and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are dozens of people on all sides. All the officers and soldiers are loyal to the court today. The court can rest assured that the morale of the frontier troops is stable. I know that the concerns of His Highness and the court are nothing more than the cost of food and grass for the Nine Borders. Since the implementation of the open-center system in the third year of Hongwu, was controlled by Shanxi merchants. His Highness and the court were worried that if they acted hastily and the court was not prepared, the soldiers on the nine sides would starve. Now that the cold winter is approaching, once the border troops have no rations, the Yuan people outside the pass will be very It is possible that they will send their troops south after hearing the news. By then our army will have low morale and no supplies of food and grass, and will inevitably be defeated by the remnants of Yuan thieves outside the pass." Lan Yu glanced around as he spoke.
Wherever he looked, everyone nodded. Zhu Yunxi nodded: "The imperial court will have such concerns. One of the Yuan thieves going south outside the Pass is that the imperial court is more worried that the hundreds of thousands of our border troops will be in trouble. The border troops are already suffering enough, if the imperial court It is unkind and unjust to put the soldiers into danger even when they know there is a better way." The remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty outside the pass cannot accomplish much even if they go south.
This is a firm belief in Zhu Yunxi's heart. Even if there were some losses at the pass, the nine-sided defense system that the Ming Dynasty spent nearly thirty years building was more than just a Great Wall.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding Jiubian who have no return date are what Zhu Yunxi really cares about.
After hearing this, Lan Yu was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed, not in mockery, but with relief.
"It's a blessing for your highness to be so kind to the soldiers." Lan Yu did not hide the truth in his heart, but then his eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "But! I am waiting for the man with the sword. , that is, you must have the courage to stand in dangerous situations without fear! Your Highness treats the troops so favorably, how can the soldiers enjoy peace and avoid war? If you do this, you will be betraying His Majesty's favor and the court's favor. You will be despised by all the armies!" Liang Guogong seemed to be thirsty for war.
Gao Yangzhi's eyes flashed and he whispered: "My lord, when the court should use its soldiers, it will definitely have a purpose. But at the moment, the court has its own considerations." Zhu Yunxi remained silent.
He didn't think about other things, he was just thinking about why Lan Yu invited Xiu to come this time, and why he hoped to deal with the Shanxi merchants' matter as soon as possible.
Lan Yu is not a fool. On the contrary, he is smart. The ending that originally belonged to him was just because the current situation was different.
If everything goes well, he probably only has two other outcomes. One is to die on the battlefield, and the other is to take care of himself at home.
For example, there is another reason that makes him come here specially, the reason that he has not said yet.
Zhu Yunxi stood up and gave Gao Yangzhi a look, signaling him to calm down. And he looked at Lan Yu and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandpa, would you like to go for a walk with me? Eating too much pasta will cause stagnation. Do you want to walk around to eliminate food?" Lan Yu raised her eyebrows and agreed happily: "I obey."... Next to Taiqiu Post, the Northern Patrol officials and officers and soldiers began the final preparations before Qichen and were ready to set off at any time.
And far away. On the official road going north, there are two figures, 'digesting'. Zhu Yunxi walked in front with his hands clasped together.
Lan Yu pressed the handle of the knife with the palm of her left hand, and clamped the thumb of her right hand on the leather belt. She held her head high, looked in all directions, and followed Zhu Yunxi half a step behind.
In order to ensure the safety of the official road, tall trees cannot grow on both sides of the road. Zhu Yunxi looked at the vast land of Qiuhou on both sides, and spoke first, saying softly: "Uncle and grandpa, the court is no longer the court it used to be." Lan Yu frowned: "What does your highness mean by this?" Zhu Yunxi kept walking and looked back. He glanced at Lan Yu and said: "The Ming Dynasty has been around for nearly thirty years. We cannot continue to use killing to end chaos. Of course, what my uncle and grandpa said today is that if you know where the enemy is, you must follow the art of war and move with lightning speed to seize the opportunity. Use the greatest advantage to besiege the opponent and seek total annihilation! But if the imperial court really follows what my uncle and grandpa said, what will happen to Shanxi Road? What will happen to the world? Winter is about to begin, and nine At this moment, the temperature has dropped and become cold. The soldiers are not the Great Wall or dead objects. They need hundreds of thousands of winter clothes and hundreds of thousands of loads of food and supplies for the winter. Once the imperial court takes action desperately at this time, the soldiers will not only In trouble, there may even be an uproar and bombing of the camp. Will the original Zhongliang of the court become a rebel because of this? Furthermore, what is the situation in Shanxi Road now? How many people are involved in it? How can my uncle and grandpa be involved? Everything is clear? Leave enough time for the court, and also leave enough time for these people. Only when you give them enough hope will they expose all their power. The more exposed they are, the more time it will take for the court to clean them up. , the fewer remnants will remain. Does my uncle hope that these people are like the White Lotus Sect, which the court has been unable to clean out for nearly thirty years?" Lan Yu immediately answered: "If these people also saw that winter is coming, Taking this opportunity to cause trouble, the imperial court will also have to face the problems mentioned by His Highness. What will Your Highness plan to do then?" Zhu Yunxi shook his head.
"No." He said with certainty: "This winter, or even before next winter, neither the White Lotus Sect nor the Shanxi merchants will take the lead in revolt. They have to wait, wait for the chaos to become big, and wait for the public support. They will all come to the surface when there is turmoil or when there is really a problem on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty." Lan Yu had his own worries in his heart, and he said: "Once they are fully prepared, in my humble opinion, they will definitely The goal is to seize the Shanxi Road first, control the passes, and prevent the imperial troops from entering Shanxi. By then, the imperial court will be in a situation where it cannot be attacked for a long time. This will cost more and involve more people." Zhu Yunxi's eyes were cold and he said in a low voice: " They will definitely do this, and they will instigate more people to revolt. They will even set their sights on the hundreds of thousands of Japanese workers in Shanxi Province. Therefore, this time my uncle invited me to come, it was also to mention the orphans. A problem has been solved." It seems that his trip was not in vain, the grandson still had things to rely on himself to do.
A smile appeared on Lan Yu's face: "Your Highness will send you as soon as possible." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of the matter on Shanxi Road, what I am most worried about now is Prince Jin's Mansion. If those people start an uprising, they will definitely besiege and kidnap Prince Jin's Mansion. . Therefore, I hope that my great-uncle can go out to Shanxi with my third uncle, and sit in Datong Prefecture, the capital of Shanxi Province, on the pretext of patrolling the border and practicing military training." Lan Yu's eyes flashed.
Datong Mansion is actually under the jurisdiction of the Third Division of Shanxi Road, just because it is located in an important town on nine sides and has a defense line along Datong City.
Therefore, the imperial court established the Shanxi Xingdu Division in Datong Prefecture early in the morning, which was under the unified jurisdiction of the imperial court. Datong has even hoarded a large number of soldiers and horses. The Great Wall is endless on the border, there are countless forts, and there are many soldiers and generals. It is a crucial point among the towns on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty.
From Datong, you can go south to Shanxi and then to Henan Road and other places in the Central Plains. Going east, you can directly enter the Beiping Prefecture area, threatening the safety of the entire Hebei Province.
Naturally, he was in charge of Datong, not to guard against the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty outside the customs. With me here, once there is a change in Shanxi Road, I can immediately send troops south to attack Taiyuan Mansion.
Capture Shanxi Town and Xingzhou, and you can face Taiyuan City directly. Lan Yu immediately said: "If this is the case, Your Highness can order the foreign troops and horses led by Wei Chen to go north to Henan Road. Once there is a change in Shanxi Road, this army can go north from Huaiqing Mansion to attack Shanxi Road Zezhou. Call Qin again The three guards of the Royal Palace and the Shaanxi Dao Dusi strictly guard Tongguan, which can ensure that the Shanxi Road will no longer go south! In addition, the Hebei Dusi and Peiping Dusi are sent to increase their troops in Zhending Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture, and the east exit of the Shanxi Road can be cut off. In this way, the three sides can be combined Strictly defending, Shanxi Dao can only engage in a battle between trapped beasts, allowing the imperial army to press forward step by step, and resolve them one by one." Seeing that Lan Yu would soon be able to think of the follow-up arrangements on top of his own arrangements. .
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "This is what I thought after discussing with the Northern Patrol officials. As long as the Shanxi Road is trapped, we can ensure that the world will not be in chaos. The court will also have more energy to stabilize the food, grass and military supplies in the nine borders." Lan Yu I didn't expect that a place would be moved for me just after I came here.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already turned back and looked in the direction of Taiqiuyi. Seeing Taisun's eyes looking over, the Northern Patrol officials and troops who had been prepared for a long time immediately started to move.
Lan Yu's eyes flashed, and she asked in a very low voice: "I heard... I heard that the cripple was missing in Zhongdu, and the government has never found any trace. Maybe he has something to do with these things." Zhu Yunxi looked sideways, He glanced at Sapphire.
"What did my uncle want to say?" Lan Yu lowered his voice again and said in a voice that only Zhu Yunxi could hear: "If it is discovered later that he was really involved and asked me to take it down, then His Highness will allow Wei Chen to personally Kill him with your hands!" After saying that, Lan Yu's face was gloomy, her palm turned into a blade, and she made various gestures in the void.
