Zhu Jianshen was excited.
The civil service group is also excited, Wang Yue is really awesome!
They immediately repeated the same old tune and once again attacked the Datong General Soldier. However, before they could impeach the general, news came that the Datong General Soldier had died of illness.
Seeing this situation, the civil service group also withdrew the impeachment.
They are quite particular and are tolerant enough to people who have no interest disputes.
Then, they all wrote letters to ask for credit for Wang Yue.
Zhu Jianshen also had this intention, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he said that the reward would be given after the two of them came back.
Upon hearing this, the civil servants immediately understood the holy intention. If they want Wang Yue to be promoted, they must bring Wang Zhi with them.
Therefore, there is no rush to ask for credit from Wang Yue.
They were not in a hurry, and Zhu Jianshen was not in a hurry either. They just dragged on...
~
June.
Wang Zhi and Wang Yue returned to Beijing.
Zhu Jianshen met the two men at Qianqing Palace, asked about the battle, and then said: "Wang Yue."
"I'm here."
"Do you still want to take on the position of censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Wang Yue had already made his decision. When he heard this, without even thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I am really incapable of doing anything else. I would like to ask the emperor to allow me to resign from the post of censor, so that I can devote myself wholeheartedly to guarding the country and guarding the borders."
"Well, okay!" Zhu Jianshen didn't even bother to say anything to persuade him to stay, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient for now. We will have an early court meeting tomorrow and wait until the officials urge you to serve as the commander-in-chief of Datong."
"Hey, yes." Wang Yue arched his hands and licked his lips before he could speak.
Zhu Jianshen knew what he wanted to ask, and said directly: "Don't worry, you are not joking. My previous promise of becoming a knight will definitely be fulfilled. Don't be anxious, come one by one."
"Uh-huh... That's what the emperor said." Wang Yue smiled dryly and said: "I'm not in a hurry, I will listen to the emperor in everything."
"Well, I've been running all the way, so let's go back and have a rest first."
"I excuse myself." Wang Yue saluted and exited the hall.
"Wang Zhi."
"My servant is here." Wang Zhi kowtowed.
Zhu Jianshen said: "Tell me carefully about the current situation in Mobei."
Wang Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Mobei Grassland now is different from the Mobei Grassland before."
"Do you still know the former Mobei Grassland?"
"Uh... I also heard what Wang Yue said," Wang Zhi said. "Wang Yue is familiar with the records of Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong. He said that the situation has changed."
"What has changed?"
"Now the Mobei grassland has developed into a semi-nomadic people, and they are farming." Wang Zhi said, "However, the planting area is not large. They are planted near the river, and most of them are potatoes."
After a pause, "Of course, they are still mainly nomadic, but they don't move as frequently as before. They will leave behind their 'roots' when they move, and they will go back to harvest potatoes."
Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up and his heart skipped a beat.
Doesn't this mean that... the most difficult problem in the Mobei Grassland will be solved virtually?
The Tatars are brave and extremely powerful in combat, but for the Ming Dynasty, this is nothing. Under the coordinated offensive of the three battalions, no matter how brave the steppe warriors are, they cannot defeat them.
What really gives Daming a headache is that these people are difficult to find.
If they have a fixed foothold, this problem will disappear. In that case, it will be much easier to deal with.
Seeing the emperor's behavior, Wang Zhi quickly added: "Your Majesty, it's my fault that I didn't explain clearly. This situation has not yet become widespread, but it is developing in that direction."
"Yes." Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about it for now. I want your governor to declare military affairs. Are you confident that you can do it well?"
Wang Zhi breathed quickly and said respectfully: "Yes!"
Young people are always so energetic.
Zhu Jianshen was very satisfied with this answer and laughed and said: "Okay, then I will give you this opportunity. Don't let me down." ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
"I will do my best, my slave." Wang Zhi was so excited that his whole body trembled.
The first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, who else could he be?
It is possible to reach the heights of an idol, or even surpass it... Wang Zhi's face turned red.
"Well, go down and rest, and pay your respects to the imperial concubine."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Zhi bowed again before retreating.
As soon as he left, all the smiles on Zhu Jianshen's face disappeared.
Zhu Jianshen whispered to himself: "Oh... don't worry, although I want to sheath the sword, I will not kill the donkey."

Yongning Palace.
After hearing Wang Zhi's show off, Zhen'er frowned tightly, not showing the happy look that Wang Zhi expected.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let down the Emperor's grace." Wang Zhi said confidently, "I will not embarrass you."
Zhen'er smiled bitterly: You won't let him down, but he will let you down. This power of yours...can you grasp it?
Wang Zhi's power was too great. No one in the Ming Dynasty had ever had such great power.
Even Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, was far inferior.
Xuanda is the head of the nine-border town, and there has never been any precedent for one person to supervise it.
Governor-General of Military Affairs!
This is not a guard eunuch, nothing like that. This is real military power.
The combined strength of the two towns is no less than 100,000, and they are all elite.
At the same time, Wang Zhi was also the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor, in charge of the Imperial Guards of the capital, and the admiral eunuch of Xichang, the number one figure in Xichang.
With such terrifying power, even if Zhen'er believed in Wang Zhi's loyalty, she couldn't help but feel numb.
terrible!
Border troops, forbidden troops, intelligence agencies... all in one person. Such a figure has never appeared in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if he is a founding hero!
What does it mean to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people? This is it!
But such a person is destined to not have a good end, and will die miserably.
Zhen'er couldn't understand why her little ancestor did this, and she was also very angry. He had obviously promised not to kill Wang Zhi, but he was really... a man's mouth, a liar.
Zhen'er looked at Wang Zhi, who looked confident and enterprising, and couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, but there were some words she couldn't say...
She could only ask: "You have so many errands to do, can you handle it?"
"It doesn't matter, I just have to work harder for you." Wang Zhi said proudly, "The emperor has given me the right to travel back and forth to the capital at will, so I can take care of both."
Hearing this, Zhen'er's scalp went numb.
"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I won't leave you here to eat today. Please go back first."
"Uh...yes, I'm resigning." Wang Zhi was a little disappointed. He thought the empress would be happy for him and praise him.
~
"Zhen'er, why are you here?" Zhu Jianshen put down his pen and felt a little strange. Since that time he said that she should stay out of court affairs, Zhen'er has not been to Qianqing Palace once.
"Your Majesty, can you please step aside?" Zhen'er's face looked disgusting, as if someone owed her money and refused to pay it back.
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, and the servants bowed silently and retreated.
"What's going on?"
"Wang Zhi." Zhen'er looked at him angrily.
Zhu Jianshen was startled for a moment, then realized it and said with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that I will break my promise?"
"This isn't the first time you've broken your promise." Zhen'er said calmly.
"What you said is so presumptuous!" Zhu Jianshen pretended to be displeased, but it was no use, Zhen'er's attitude remained the same.
Helpless, Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to put away the majesty of the emperor, stood up with a smile, pulled her to sit down, and joked: "Tell me, when did I break my promise to you?"
Zhen'er choked back: "Then please tell me, Your Majesty, how many times have you said 'nothing is not allowed' to my concubine?"
Zhu Jianshen: "..."
"Don't worry, I won't kill him."
"Ha, if you don't kill him, he will live?" Zhen'er sneered: "Hasn't the emperor heard: I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me?"
"I will not let him die." Zhu Jianshen said.
"I do not believe."
"...You have gone too far." Zhu Jianshen was displeased, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics..."
"Your Majesty, you have changed." Zhen'er said with a tearful voice.
"..."
Zhu Jianshen was really speechless: "How can you trust me?"
"Remove him, let him be the palm eunuch, and stay in the palace."
"This won't work!" Zhu Jianshen flatly refused.
"You..." Zhen'er was furious and repeated her old tricks, "Your Majesty, you dislike me for being old, don't you?"
Zhu Jianshen rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "You know my thoughts, but... public is public, private is private, no matter how rude and unruly you are in private, I will pamper you, but in business, I hope you Ability to do one’s duty.”
In the second half of the sentence, the tone became cooler.
"He has done something good for you, how could you do that to him?"
"I said I won't let him die, so I won't break my promise." Zhu Jianshen lost his patience and frowned: "I am still busy with official duties, so please step aside."
Zhen'er smiled sadly: "I obey your order."
Zhu Jianshen was also a little sulky, and hummed: "Ha! Women, when you are far away, you will be resentful, and when you are close, you will be disrespectful. The ancients were honest and I will not deceive you!"
She is used to it, so she needs to be treated. "
He was still annoyed. After calming down, he still got used to it and completely forgot about his arrogance when he was angry.
After finishing his official duties, Zhu Jianshen came to Yongning Palace with a shy face.
"Zhen'er, Zhen'er, tut, are you still angry?"
"How dare I, my concubine?" Zhen'er chuckled, and after the slaves retreated, she kicked her nose and said, "Don't touch me."
Zhu Jianshen was not annoyed and poked her with his finger: "Just touched, just touched..."
"Aren't you childish?"
"Of course it's childish. Sister, you know it."
"..." Zhen'er broke through her defenses and was fully armed. She was so tempted by the word "sister" that she threw away her armor.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zhi is sincere and has contributed to the country. Can't you give him a good end?" Zhen'er leaned in his arms and whispered: "You know that I raised him as a son. "
Zhu Jian hugged her deeply and said seriously: "You have watched me grow up, have I ever done anything like killing a donkey?"
"I am afraid that when the time comes..."
"Don't worry, I've thought of everything you thought of. Wang Zhi will definitely die well." Zhu Jianshen assured.
Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have given Wang Zhi such great power, will all the officials agree?
This authority... is so great that it has no boundaries! "
Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said: "You can see that Wang Zhi will end up tragically after he has such power. How can they not see it?"
"The art of flattery and killing has been around for a long time. Not only will they not object, but they will also go along with it." Zhu Jianshen shook his head and said, "As the saying goes: if you want to take something, you must give it to you first."
Zhen'er frowned: "If it really comes to that point, can we still save him?"
Zhu Jianshen smiled proudly: "You must have confidence in your husband."
