Wang Zhi hugged Zhu Youlu and returned to the Anxi Palace. Yang Yuer was not in the Anxi Palace at this time, but went to Kunning Palace to have tea with the queen, which gave Wang Zhi precious time to spend time alone with the eldest prince.

When Yang Yuer was in the Anxi Palace, Wang Zhi was somewhat restrained, but when Yang Yuer was not in the palace, Wang Zhi could use Zhu Youlu's identity to issue orders to the eunuchs and maids in the palace to create a space for them to be alone.

Why does Zhu Youluo like Wang Zhi?

That's because Wang Zhi has a quick mind and often tells Zhu Youhuang stories.

Some of the stories are true, some are false, and they all have perfect endings. They can make Zhu Youhuang happy every time, and he has a little yearning for the outside world. biquge.biz

If Wang Zhi lived in modern life, he must be a good fairy tale writer.

"Wang Daban, how is that person? Has he become the person he wants to be?" Zhu Youfu looked at Wang Zhi and said with a sweet voice.

Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Your Highness, he will definitely be able to become the person he wants to be. Your Highness, he will also be able to become the person he wants to be in the future."

"Then I must be a general in the future and fight those disobedient people on behalf of my father..."

"Your Highness will definitely be able to do it, and I will risk my life to help His Highness..."

Wang Zhi comes from a humble background and has a strong sense of many matters. It is very simple for him to make Zhu Youli like him...

If he wants to get ahead, it's very simple.

Historically, he fell in love with the emperor's favorite concubine Wan Gui, but now he also falls in love with the eldest prince, and he is always thinking about changing jobs...

………………

After Zhu Youhuang left, Zhu Jianshen began to handle government affairs.

Maybe it was because he had been playing with his eldest son for a while, but the smile on Zhu Jianshen's face was always there.

Yesterday, Zhu Jianshen officially issued an edict to re-activate the deposed grand champion Shang Ren, letting him serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and work in the cabinet.

After Shang Ren lost his official position due to the new tax system, he has been idle at home. When Yu Qian formally resigned, Shang Ren also visited his home. It was for this reason that Zhu Jianshen remembered Shang Ren who had stayed at home for so many years. .

The way of being a king is to use ministers if they can use them, and if they cannot use them, let them go.

Shang Ren is not a simple corrupt scholar. He has some abilities and is meticulous in his work. Back then, Zhu Jianshen could dismiss him at will, but now he can re-enable him.

Under Zhu Jianshen's will, Li Xian also officially became the chief minister of the cabinet. In order to prevent the court from having too much fluctuation after Yu Qian left, Zhu Jianshen made Li Xian the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Now Xu Youzhen's sage is prosperous, and Zhu Jianshen is worried that Li Xian is incapable of stabilizing the government.

People are contradictory, and monarchs have many more self-contradictions than ordinary people...

While Zhu Jianshen was reading the memorial, a eunuch walked into Qianqing Palace, holding an envelope in his hand.

"Your Majesty, a secret message from Annan."

Zhang Bao hurriedly walked down the steps, took the secret letter, and handed it to Zhu Jianshen with both hands.

Zhu Jianshen opened the letter calmly.

This secret letter was written by the soldiers who were placed next to Shi Heng.

After reading it, Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly.

"Shi Heng is still arrogant..."

Things that were not found in the memorials of Shi Heng and Han Yong were clearly written in this secret letter.

Including, Shi Heng left more than 200,000 taels of silver, and the massacre caused near Jiaozhou City.

Of course, Zhu Jianshen would not blame Shi Heng for these things as long as he did not make any principled mistakes.

The soldiers were out fighting and working hard, earning some money, and enjoying themselves. It was their duty to do so. Let alone 200,000 taels of silver, it was even 800,000 taels of silver. Zhu Jianshen would not even blink an eyelid.

What he cared about was that Shi Heng had become arrogant.

And it's very obvious.

Such smooth progress gradually changed Shi Heng's heart.

Dai Viet no longer had the strength to confront the Ming army on a frontal battlefield.

In addition, the army has now stopped moving south and is resting and digesting the occupied land, which also gives Shi Heng precious time to commit suicide.

Now Shi Heng has already claimed to be the Duke of the country in front of his cronies, and said that it only takes two years to completely conquer Annan and restore Jiaozhou to the Chief and Historian Department. By then, he will have defended the capital, settled Jurchen in the north, and leveled Jiaozhou in the south. He and Zhang Fu, the deceased king of Xingguo County. It can be compared.

When the time comes, he will not only become the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, but also become the true head of nobles and the pillar of the country like the British Duke. By then, Chen Ying, Xu Youzhen and the like, Yu Qian and Li Xian will not be the same. own opponent.

Shi Heng still lives in the palace of the puppet dynasty, and it is nothing to surpass these.

The most terrible thing is that Shi Heng used his free time to privately contact many generals who entered Annan to fight, including Han Yong who was far away in Guangxi. He wanted these generals to jointly submit a letter and promote his decision to ennoble the country as soon as possible.

However, many generals, including Han Yong, regarded it as a joke and no one dared to jointly submit a letter.

This is forced into the palace.

A well-connected general wrote a private letter to persuade Shi Heng, but Shi Heng did not take it seriously. He calmly took out the poem given to him by His Majesty the Emperor back then and murmured to himself: "A bunch of cowardly juniors. How do you know how much your majesty values ​​​​the relationship with your country's duke... Just look at this poem, it explains everything..."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wuyang is brave and good at fighting, but he has some shortcomings in his conduct as an official and as a minister. Your Majesty can issue an order to reprimand him and let him reflect on it."

Zhang Bao, who was on the side, heard what Zhu Jianshen said and hurriedly answered.

Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhang Bao.

"If the reprimand was effective, Lan Yu would not have ended up like this." Zhu Jianshen said with a wry smile.

"Now the war in Annan still depends on him. If he really forces the palace, then I still can't do anything to him. He must be given the title of Duke and the head of the noble family. I will give him whatever he wants. But it’s hard to keep anything given in this situation..."

After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, Zhang Bao lowered his head and did not dare to answer the question.

Why is this talking, talking, talking about Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was a famous general in the Ming Dynasty after Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.

Zhu Di once followed him.

In the 21st year of Hongwu's reign, Lan Yu led an army of 150,000 across the desert. All the grassland tribes fled and surrendered one after another. His military exploits reached a peak. Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Taizu, did not hide his love for Lan Yu at all and sent him to the desert. Compared to Wei Qing and Li Jing, they also praised him lavishly in the court.

But Lan Yu is also arrogant.

When he returned to the south, he sent troops to destroy the pass, broke into the gate, and beheaded the officials guarding the pass. During the long return journey, he forcibly pulled carrots with the beloved concubine of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, causing her to commit suicide in shame, which made the Meng Yuan nobles of the Ming Dynasty The recruitment and surrender, and a series of preferential treatment policies were all in vain...

The consequences he caused were very serious, but because of the relationship between the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not blame him. He just changed his title from Liang Guogong to Liang Guogong, giving him a beating.

But five years later, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, after the emperor's grandson and the emperor's prince passed away one after another, Lan Yu's previous sins were suddenly revealed. Emperor Taizu Gao arrested Lan Yu on charges of treason, skinned him and charged him with treason. Grass, confiscation of homes, extermination of three clans...

In just five short years, a Duke of Liang became really cold...

At this time, Shi Heng's tricks were just like those of General Lan, but Shi Heng was also lucky. Zhu Jianshen was very young, so there was no need to worry about not being able to survive Shi Heng...

Zhu Jianshen put down the secret letter and glanced at Zhang Bao.

"Draft the decree, Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, has a calm and resolute spirit, drinks and eats for ten people, makes decisions when the situation arises, remains calm, has worked diligently for decades, and has gone through several battles, with outstanding military exploits. He lives in the capital and supervises and trains the three armies. As the pillar of the country, he was moved to be the Duke of Ning State and was given a python robe and jade belt."

After Zhang Bao heard this, he quickly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Bao slowly stepped back and prepared the imperial edict.

Chen Ying's prestige in the military is now comparable to that of Shi Heng, and he is similar in age to Shi Heng. He can not only march and fight, but also knows how to be an official.

It is most suitable to use him to suppress Shi Heng.

Of course, Zhu Jianshen made Chen Ying the Duke of Ning, which proved that he had made up his mind to give Shi Heng what he wanted.

At this time, Chen Ying, who was in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, did not know that the plan to promote him to the title of Duke was being prepared in the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Shi Heng, who was far away in Jiaozhou City and lived in the palace, did not know that what he had done had allowed Chen Ying to obtain the title of Duke several years in advance...
