If the earthen pot is not broken far from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die in battle.
For some slightly normal generals, they are young, strong, and strong-boned. They can be nurtured in the capital and can lead troops to fight anytime and anywhere. This is a good thing for the country, but Shi Heng is obviously abnormal.
If you are arrogant and arrogant, if you stay in the capital for a long time, you will be in trouble.
This is not only Zhu Jianshen's idea, but also Li Xian and Yu Qian's views on it.
For Zhu Jianshen, Shi Heng could not live in peace and contentment. If he was energetic, he would inevitably search for the door all over the world, and after searching, he found the door of Nangong.
You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being missed. Zhu Jianshen knew this very well. Even if he built Nangong into a copper wall and an iron wall, Shi Heng could break it.
As for Li Xian and Yu Qian, Shi Heng will not be able to save his life sooner or later if he stays in the capital. And Yu Qian has a favor for Shi Heng. If Shi Heng really commits a major crime, the relationship between Yu Qian and Shi Heng will The relationship will be taken advantage of by those who want to attack Yu Qian.
Others don't know it, but Xu Youzhen is looking forward to it every day.
Ladu's affectionate letter was personally sent to Qianqing Palace by Yu Qian.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had not been cared for by his father since childhood, opened the letter with trembling hands.
The previous words were all words of encouragement, but when Qi Zhen’s son, Emperor Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty, saw the last paragraph of Mongolian text, he was dumbfounded.
This old man is an expert at leading troops in battles, and his depth of study of writing and foreign languages is truly extraordinary.
Zhu Jianshen carefully looked at the Mongolian characters that he couldn't understand. The writing was better than the Chinese characters. If he gave his father time, could he also pat his chest and say: "I have read a lot of books and know the history of the Eight Kingdoms." Who can rival the thousand-year-old emperor in terms of language and writing?”
Zhu Jianshen put down the letter calmly, then looked at Yu Qian who was sitting below and said, "My younger brothers and sisters will be back soon. I must be good to my younger brothers and sisters so that I can be worthy of my father who is suffering in Mongolia." .”
"Yes, Your Majesty, after your Majesty's wedding, you can see your flesh and blood relatives." Yu Qian is not a liar, and he doesn't know how to lie.
When Zhu Jianshen mentioned Mongolia's father, younger brothers and sisters, he would not answer directly. Ever since Zhu Qizhen returned to the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian had never once said that Zhu Qizhen was in Mongolia.
Zhu Jianshen smiled faintly, and then the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He glanced at Zhang Bao, who ordered him to take all the maids and eunuchs in the palace with him.
When only Yu Qian and Zhu Jianshen were left in the Qianqing Palace.
"Yu Taibao, where is my father?" Zhu Jianshen said slowly.
Yu Qian stood up from his chair, cupped his hands and said, "The reason why His Majesty asked this is that everyone should know that the Supreme Emperor is in Yunnan."
Yu Qian had already guessed about this, and now that Zhu Jianshen asked directly, he was not surprised.
"I know that Yu Taibao is doing this for the country, but the Emperor is my father after all. Has Yu Taibao ever thought about how I will deal with myself after he comes back?"
"Your Majesty, I wish to die to stop the wrath of the Supreme Emperor." Yu Qian said righteously, as if the death that others feared as much as a tiger seemed to Yu Qian to be a common thing.
Zhu Jian sighed deeply. If it were another king who did this, even if it was for the sake of the king, and even with the approval of the Empress Dowager, he would not end well.
But Zhu Jianshen is not an ordinary king. He is now hiding the matter of his father's return to the capital. On the one hand, it is for himself, and on the other hand, he wants to protect Yu Qian, Li Xian, Xu Youzhen and other ministers.
"I have known it for a long time. Although I am a little angry in my heart, I also know that this is an expedient measure made by Yu Taibao for the sake of the country. I believe that after so many years of training, my father's temper will also improve. It's much better, and I don't have too much hatred for the Taibao. Even if my father is still resentful of the Taibao, I will definitely not listen to his words. I used to be a child, but now I am older and can make my own decisions. I asked Zhang Bao to supervise the work and renovate the Nangong for my father. As soon as he returns to Beijing, he will directly arrange to live in the Nangong, and I can visit him from time to time."
"Since my father is in Yunnan, I want to talk to Taibao Yu about Yunnan today, and then about Annan."
Zhu Jianshen just mentioned Zhu Qizhen and was unwilling to continue on this topic. He said today that on the one hand, he clearly informed Yu Qian that he already knew about his father's affairs to reassure him, and also told Yu Qian that his father's It's not a big deal. Don't waste the court's energy and financial resources too much in the future. Repairing his house is the last big expense.
On the other hand, it was also to attract the Duke of Guizhou, the chieftains of Yunnan, and even the puppet court in Annan, and then send a message to Yu Qian. He also wanted the Ming Dynasty to conquer Annan again, destroy the small puppet court, and avenge his previous shame.
"Yu Taibao, please sit down."
Yu Qian frowned and raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He slowly sat down, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
He and Li Xian were both aware of Zhu Jianshen's ambitions. Being forced to withdraw from Annan was a pain in the hearts of many generals. The deceased British Duke Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou and others all fought bloody battles in Annan, and also Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers died on that land.
Yu Qian suddenly remembered that Shi Heng was here. It seemed that His Majesty had new plans for Shi Heng's whereabouts.
The area near Annan in Yunnan was dominated by the chieftains, and there were rebellions among the chieftains from time to time. However, the Mu family also played an important role there, and every chieftain rebellion could be quelled within a short period of time.
After Yu Qian sat down, Zhu Jianshen said: "I still know something about the Duke of Guizhou. I told Yu Taibao to listen. If there is something wrong, Yu Taibao can point it out to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Emperor Taizu Gao, the Mu family was still the residence of the Marquis of Xiping. Mu Ying was the Marquis of Xiping in the Ming Dynasty and contributed to the founding of the country. Hongwu died of illness in Yunnan in the 25th year of the Republic of China. According to the Secretary of Yingtian Dynasty, "The obituary was written in mourning. Go to court and send sacrifices. "In October of that year, Emperor Taizu Gao decreed that the Marquis of Xiping should be granted the posthumous title of Prince of Qianning, with the posthumous title Zhaojing. He was also the only great meritorious official in the Ming Dynasty who was granted the title of marquis after his death, and he and Taizu Gao The relationship between the emperor and his son is that of father and son, as well as that of monarch and minister."
"The Marquis of Xiping also ranked in the ancestral motto of the Ming Dynasty as a "home of relatives". After the death of Marquis Mu, his eldest son Mu Chun inherited the Marquis. Mu Chun also made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Yunnan has just been assigned to the Ming Dynasty. In the beginning, Tusi rebellions spread across the southwest and emerged one after another. Three generations of the Mu family fought on the battlefield, and the Tusi world became a province of our Ming Dynasty. After Mu Chun died, because he had no heirs to inherit the title, Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng inherited the title. Title."
"This Mu Sheng was also the first Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty. He was promoted by Emperor Taizong Wen. Firstly, it was because of Mu Ying and Muchun's contribution to guarding Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, it was because of his pacification with the British Duke Zhang Fu. Annan’s Rebellion.”
"It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. Duke Qian died on the way to the battle. His son Mu Bin succeeded him as the second Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Mu Ying's third son Mu Ang guarded the Yunnan affairs on his behalf. Alas, Mu Bin unfortunately passed away in the first year of Chenghua, and his son Mu Cong inherited the Duke of Qian. However, he was two years younger than me, so his elder brother, Mu Ang's grandson Governor Mu Lin, acted as governor of Yunnan. However, Mu Lin passed away at the beginning of this year, and Mu Cong was still too young, so the Duke of Guizhou’s government asked his elder brother Mu Zan to act as his deputy."
"Now the Duke of Guizhou governs Yunnan with an iron fist that is unmatched by the previous three generations. I am thinking whether to seize power first and wait until Duke Mu Cong of Guizhou grows up to return the power of guarding." After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, He picked up the tea cup, took a sip of water, and waited quietly for Yu Qian's reply to his thoughts.
Yu Qian had been listening carefully, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became. His Majesty knew so much, and just wanted to take the power of guarding.
In fact, even the heroic Emperor Taizongwen had this idea. He sent the King of Han to Yunnan. Part of it was to stop Zhu Gaoxu's idea of the emperor's position. Another part of the reason was that he wanted to let the King of Han When you get there, you can seize some power from Mu Sheng at that time, or you can keep an eye on the Mu family as a vassal king. Even if the Mu family has always been loyal, which emperor is not suspicious.
But because the King of Han was obsessed with the emperor's position, he did not seize control of Yunnan, leaving Zhu Di helpless.
But now is a good opportunity. At the moment when the Duke of Guizhou was at its weakest, their control over Yunnan was no better than that of the previous three generations. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had been in power for a long time, so there was no major rebellion.
The imperial court can use this reason to take away the power of guarding, and whether it will be returned or when it will be returned is up to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, you can ask Tai Ninghou and others about this military matter. I dare not make false claims." After a pause, Yu Qian said slowly.
After listening to Yu Qian's words, Zhu Jianshen smiled: "Yu Taibao has been an official in the court for many years, and he has also learned the art of protecting himself wisely. I don't want to seize the power of guarding the Duke of Guizhou, but for the next step." There are no generals in the Duke of Guizhou's government, which is not enough to deter the various departments in Yunnan and Yanbian, and it is also unable to promote the Ming Dynasty's national prestige to the puppet court in Annan."
"I can remember that the emperor had no choice but to give up Annan and withdraw his troops. At that time, he broke the hearts of the British princes and the soldiers of Bai Zhan. But at that time, Mongolia threatened our Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Wen had been The deficit in the war forced our Ming Dynasty to make this choice, but now our Ming Dynasty also has the strength to fight again. After the successful implementation of the new tax system, our Ming Dynasty has abundant national strength. If it doesn't work in one year, it will fight for two years. If it doesn't work in two years, it will fight ten. Year, we will kill all those who resist us."
"Those capricious villains think that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are afraid of being beaten by them. Humph, now the conversion of land to exile is quite effective in Liaoping Mansion. I am prepared to deal with them in accordance with the law. Regardless of the survival of the people of Annan, only for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I want to destroy the ancestral temples and kill the people of the Ming Dynasty who are suffering from cholera in the Ming Dynasty. I will shed blood for shame and enhance the prestige of the country."
The more Zhu Jianshen spoke, the more serious he became, and the more he spoke, the more murderous he became.
After Yu Qian listened, he sighed silently.
"Isn't it a bit unlucky for Your Majesty to use weapons rashly on the occasion of your wedding?"
"Hahaha, Yu Taibao, Yu Taibao, why are you imitating Xu Youzhen? I'm talking about what happens next, and I didn't say I'm going to fight Annan this year. As my teacher, no one can do this. Say it, but you can tell it to the teacher.”
"Teacher, is the student at fault?"
Yu Qian stood up: "Your Majesty is not wrong, but your Majesty should be aware of the defeat of the Supreme Emperor Tumu, and should make more plans before the war."
"The plan is to wait until Shi Heng comes back, and it will be determined by the imperial prelude. As long as the teacher feels that the students are at a loss, then we can prepare for two or five years, and conquer Annan in one go."
"Teacher, among my younger brothers, I want to select a few of them and assign them to Annan, just like Emperor Taizu Gao's side kings..."
