Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes tiredly. The aftermath of the Daiwang Rebellion has not yet been eliminated, and the war in the north is also a headache.
Daning City was actually invaded by Wu Liangha's men. Timur the Perfect was indeed somewhat powerful, but he was still too young after all and lacked experience in commanding an army.
Times did not give him a chance to grow up, so Yuan Yue chopped off his head.
Judging from the time of the report, the Uuliangha tribe should have been massacred by Yuan Yue.
That's fine, there is a tradition of Uliang Hard being a traitor. This tradition obviously needs to be abandoned, and the best way to do so is to eradicate it from the roots.
Kill them all. Kill them all.
For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and for the sake of future generations, let's all die.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen deeply understood Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality when he killed people. Behind the brutal massacre, the consequences were pointed to forever. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was massacred internally to guard against the ambitions of the founding fathers, while Zhu Yunwen was massacred externally to guard against the enemy's invasion.
Zhu Yuanzhang's massacre did bring great trouble to Zhu Yunwen, and the available generals were very limited.
But in a sense, Zhu Yuanzhang's massacre also reduced a lot of troubles for Zhu Yunwen. In the eleven years since he ascended the throne, there has been no coercion from powerful officials, no situation where military generals have become powerful, and no people who rely on their status as founding heroes to despise imperial power. Even if they are There is not much resistance to implementing reform strategies.
Civil servants were afraid of being killed, military generals were afraid of being killed, and the emperor's authority reached its peak. Only then could drastic reforms be implemented, and only then could the Ming Dynasty become as strong as it is today.
Zhu Yunwen was very tired and fell asleep unconsciously.
A bloody face rushed over, and Zhu Yunwen woke up suddenly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, you're awake."
Princess Baoqing tilted her head and looked at Zhu Yunwen worriedly.
Zhu Yunwen took out his handkerchief, wiped his forehead, took a few breaths, and said to Princess Baoqing: "Didn't I make a decree that you stay in the back garden and not go out? Why are you so disobedient and come to Wuying Palace?"
Princess Baoqing's eyes turned red, and tears welled up immediately: "Such a big thing happened, what if Baoqing doesn't come and see for himself. The emperor is fine, Baoqing is so happy..."
Zhu Yunwen stood up and patted Princess Baoqing on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are so old, but you still cry. I am not a good person, but you are the king's brother..."
Baoqing shook his little head and wiped his tears: "Brother Thirteen actually did such a rebellious thing. He deserves it."
Zhu Yunwen was very pleased.
Although Princess Baoqing is only fourteen years old and has always stayed in the palace. She is extremely simple, but she still has a sense of right and wrong. She is not confused on major issues of right and wrong.
"Baoqing knew that the emperor was tired, so he specially cooked porridge and brought it. After asking the chamberlain, the emperor had not had dinner yet."
Princess Baoqing said, stood up and took the food box next to her.
Zhu Yunwen watched Princess Baoqing open the food box and take out the bowl and spoon on the upper layer. The lower layer was millet porridge with some ginseng and wolfberry added to it.
Whether it is the princess or the queen of the royal family, they usually make porridge. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's Queen Ma was good at making porridge. Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang was tired from dealing with official duties, Queen Ma would always cook a bowl of porridge and send it to him.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Princess Baoqing who was skillfully making porridge and said with a smile: "You are really attentive."
Bao Qing smiled slightly, held the bowl in both hands and handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, this porridge is not for nothing. Bao Qing has a request."
Zhu Yunwen took the porridge bowl and put it on the table. He waved to the waiter who came over to try the porridge and asked him to step back. He stirred it with a spoon and asked, "What is your request? If it is troublesome, I may not agree to it."
"No trouble."
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's calm expression, Baoqing said softly: "Your Majesty, Baoqing heard that the Crown Prince of Yan was arrested, and Baoqing wanted to ask the Emperor to let him go. He is very kind to Baoqing. He is a humble man and will never make a big mistake. Yes."
"Are you exchanging a bowl of porridge for Zhu Gaochi?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly.
Bao Qing nodded repeatedly: "He spends a lot of time with Bao Qing, and brings a lot of fun and delicious food every time he enters the palace. Your Majesty, he will never make mistakes, let alone like Brother Thirteen."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the pleading Baoqing, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Well, since Baoqing has already pleaded for Zhu Gaochi, then I will naturally agree." m.
"Very good."
Baoqing was very happy.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the porridge, lowered his head, and asked casually: "Baoqing, Zhu Gaochi was arrested. Who told you about this? He is smart enough to ask you to be a rescuer. Let me guess, it's Princess Yan." right?"
Bao Qing shook his head: "No, it's Mrs. Zhao."
"Mrs. Zhao, which Mrs. Zhao?"
Zhu Yun squinted his eyes and couldn't remember which Zhao family had the authority to enter the palace.
"Eight hundred miles urgent."
There were shouts outside the hall.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Bao Qing and said with a smile: "You can go back. I will let Zhu Gaochi out later and go to see you with him. How about that?"
Baoqing was happy, with a smile on his face. He packed up the food box and told him: "Your Majesty, please drink your porridge early. Don't let it get cold."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and watched Bao Qing leave. Eight hundred miles of urgent documents had been delivered.
The document was sent by the capital of Yunnan, and the content was that Uzang Dixi and Shangshi wanted to sue for peace, were willing to open the passage, and implored the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help quell the rebellion and restore peace to Uzang as soon as possible.
Zhu Yunwen looked at this urgent document and frowned.
The Ming Dynasty has no time to deal with Wu Zang now. The Yunnan Dusi is busy dealing with Dao Gengmeng. Now Wu Zang suddenly sues for peace. What is his intention?
Could it be that there is something wrong within Uzang?
Zhu Yunwen took the porridge bowl, picked up the spoon and took a bite.
Wuszang's willingness to open the channel, whether it is a conspiracy or not, will be beneficial to Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a conspiracy, the Ming army entering Uzang can win with firearms.
In the face of strong strength and steady recommendation strategies, intrigues have very limited effect.
But there is a thorny problem at the moment. It is already over August. Even if the sergeants trained by Yuan Yue in Congling are transferred to Yunnan and prepared to enter Uzang, it will take at least three months. It is the cold winter season and it is the plateau. above the coldest time.
Extremely cold weather is a big trouble for the Ming army.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head. It was too early to consider the Uzang issue at the moment. As long as they didn't come down, it didn't matter how they jumped around.
Daming took the initiative. After taking care of the others, he could free up his hands to slowly plot Uzang.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the emergency report document. He accidentally wet the seal area with the porridge soup. He took out a handkerchief to cover it and dipped it lightly. He picked up the handkerchief and took a look and found that the seal pad was actually stained red, even though it was not wet. There are also some red marks on the handkerchief.
His fingers gently rubbed the ink pad area.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the red on his finger, his pupils condensed slightly, and he stood up: "This is a forgery..."
Tongue, numb.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the porridge bowl and felt numbness spreading rapidly, from his mouth and tongue to his neck and hands, and he fell down weakly.
Some people died, but not completely...
