Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1974 Inside the palace and outside the palace ([-]) The word Luo is too heavy to speak
Hearing that the Yili River Valley is actually such a fertile land, Zhu Yijun finally put aside his previous worries about "inevitably losing blood" in operating the Western Regions, and began to become a little interested.

In fact, the reason why he was not interested in it at the beginning was largely out of worry about the financial burden.It was not long before Xuanzong gave up Yin Jian, Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, and Gao Yushi had been instilling in him the theory of "government cost" over the years.

Of course, the underlying logic of Zhu Yuanzhang's rule of "a country without conquest" also affected him. Speaking of it, he was also worried about the random expansion of future generations and the waste of national power.

However, since the Ili River Valley can be used as a strategic support in the Western Regions, ruling this region can greatly expand the territory and regain the hands of the Western Regions that the Han people had lost for thousands of years. This great achievement seems not to be missed.

However, there is still a question: In addition to "great achievements", are there other benefits to winning the Western Regions?If there are no other benefits, at least 2000 million taels of silver and 300 million shi of grain will be spent just to satisfy a "great achievement", Zhu Yijun still feels very painful.

He threw this question to Gao Yushi again, who immediately laughed and asked, "May I ask what the emperor thinks about the purpose of the Han and Tang Dynasties in managing the Western Regions?"

Zhu Yijun really hasn't thought about this issue carefully. He has basically been entangled in various specific affairs over the years, and rarely has time to think about such "long-history" issues.

However, after all, he has been an emperor for many years. Although he didn't think deeply about this question before, he can probably guess a thing or two, and said: "It must be because the Han and Tang Dynasties established Chang'an as the capital. The Western Regions are not far away, and the threat is great." Therefore, it is necessary to manage the guard with the power of the whole country.

This principle is just like the saying, "If you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River".If you want Guanzhong to be stable, you must first consolidate Longyou; if you want Longyou to be stable, you must first consolidate the Western Regions. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt something, and added: "The reason why my dynasty does not devote much power to the Western Regions is because my dynasty has established its capital in Beijing, and the main threats are in the north of the capital and Liaodong."

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Gao Wushi was basically quite satisfied, but he thought that what Zhu Yijun said was not comprehensive enough, so although he nodded in agreement, he also said: "What the emperor said is right, but there is still a little more to add. "

"Oh? You said."

Gao Wushi said: "Throughout the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, we can find some interesting situations. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gradually became stronger under the leadership of Maodun Shanyu. Therefore, the invasion of the Huns became a stable rule of the newly established Han Dynasty. At the same time, it also became the biggest threat to the northern border in the early Western Han Dynasty.

In order to stabilize the remote northwest region and win over Western countries to fight against the Xiongnu, the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty had to pay attention to the strategy of the Western Regions.

The early Eastern Han Dynasty also had to face the continuous invasion of the Xiongnu. At that time, in addition to stationing troops for defense, the Eastern Han Dynasty also imitated the Western Han Dynasty and made peace with the Xiongnu.At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a more moderate attitude, they hoped that peace with the Xiongnu was the most important thing, but what they got was the strong invasion of the Xiongnu. This forced the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty to win over the countries of the Western Regions to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Western Regions, set up the capital in Wulei City, and sent Han people to manage it.At that time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions shouldered the dual functions of ensuring the smooth flow of the northern and southern Silk Roads in the Western Regions and supervising the countries in the Western Regions.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turks became the second top power in the northern nomadic territory after the Huns.It became a big stone pressing on the top of the Tang Dynasty.

During the reign of Wude in the early Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan went south to the inland year after year to plunder the population and wealth.Li Shimin was forced to cut a white horse by the Weishui River as an alliance, which was called "the alliance of Weishui" in history, which can be described as a disgrace in the early Tang Dynasty.Of course, this move also made Li Shimin more ambitious, which is a later story.

In short, the direction of the Eastern Turkic soldiers at that time forced the Tang court to sleep and eat restlessly, and there was even a discussion in the court to move the capital to avoid disaster.However, three years after the Weishui alliance, the Tang Dynasty's national power increased rapidly under Li Shimin's series of very appropriate political and economic measures, and the balance of power between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks began to reverse.

In November of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin took advantage of the opportunity that the northern grassland was caught in a quagmire of natural disasters and joined forces with Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo and other tribes who were unwilling to submit, and launched a Jedi counterattack to overthrow the grassland overlord Turks. .

In this battle, the [-] Tang troops were divided into six groups, and under the planning and command of Li Jing, they defeated the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive. The Eastern Turkic Khanate died in the first battle.

However, although the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks in the Western Regions were still strong.Different from the destructive Eastern Turkic War, just as the minister and the emperor just talked about, the expansion of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions can be described as a steady and steady battle.

It advances successively from east to west, first north and then south. After stabilizing the defense of northern Xinjiang, it expands to the southwest.In the way of setting up four Anxi towns, the southern Xinjiang desert oasis east of Fucongling was subdivided to disintegrate the traditional control of the Western Turks there, and then achieve the purpose of managing the entire Western Region.

At that time, the strategy of the Tang Dynasty was to use the southern border as a strategic buffer zone to ensure the safety of the northern border; and then to control the northern border to ensure the safety of the Hexi counties.This is to avoid being squeezed in the two strategic directions of the west and the north at the same time.

It can also be seen from this that although the Tang Dynasty was majestic at the time, its control over the Western Regions was always defensive.At the same time, this is also the embodiment of the strategic thinking that the emperor said that "if you want to stabilize Guanzhong, you must first consolidate Longyou; if you want to stabilize Longyou, you must first consolidate the Western Regions." "

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with what he heard, and even felt that he and Li Shimin and Li Zhi were also heroes for a while.

However, Gao Pragmatism didn't finish his words: "Then, Your Majesty, after the victory of the Battle of Yuan Dynasty, isn't there any change in the strategic situation we are facing?"

Zhu Yijun was slightly taken aback, but immediately discovered the problem - yes, the current situation is different from before!

He found that the high-practical examples were very good, and a very clear comparison can be made: the Han Dynasty wanted to control the Western Regions because the territory of the Huns spanned thousands of miles. The whole Han area.

The Tang Dynasty also had the same idea: first fight the Eastern Turks, so that Chang'an and Taiyuan (the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty, the land of Longxing) would not be threatened at all times;

The situation that Ming Dynasty faced at the beginning was different: firstly, it was decided that the Ming Dynasty was not in Chang’an but in Beijing, and the threats it faced were mainly in the northern front line of Beijing. The big picture has actually changed completely.

The current two ministries of Tumed and Ordos, because of their deep relationship with Daming, have completely become the loyal vassals of Daming. Not only are they not a threat, but they have become a powerful help.

In the Northeast, the Jurchens were divided and ruled by the high-level pragmatists. Yehe and Hada can be regarded as the two generals of Henha. Although Ula is a little farther away, because of the establishment of Jinghua's "Changchun Station" (trade base, mentioned above), it has also been economically and economically with Daming over the years. The connection is getting closer and closer, and there is a strong trend of "Yehhua" and "Hadahua".

The Jianzhou Jurchen had been suspected by Gao Pragmatism before (although Zhu Yijun did not see any potential in the Jianzhou Jurchen), so it was reclassified as the Jianzhou Guard, Jianzhou Left Guard, and Jianzhou Right Guard.Among them, Jianzhou Guard is useless, mainly to accommodate a group of old guys from Aixinjueluo's family back then, and their strength is not strong.

Jianzhou right guard is specially used to mark Nurhachi Jianzhou left guard, and considering that the right guard may not be strong enough, Gao Yushi reminded Yehe and Hada many times in the name of Ming Ting to let them pretend to be Jianzhou guards. The right back's back-up, and Nurhachi obviously knows this too.

Although Nurhachi has been trying to expand his influence over the years, he found an opportunity to settle two of the three Changbai Mountains in the past few years, which almost caused a war with Ye He, but was stopped by Daming, who had finished the battle ahead of time and had nothing to do.

Under the mediation of Daming's military force, the final result was quite cruel, which can be described as a direct manifestation of the law of the jungle: Generally speaking, Nurhachi ate about [-]% of the three powers, Yehe ate about [-]%, and Hada did not. There are many people here, but some land was bought cheaply, which probably accounts for half of the original area of ​​Sanbu.

The above-mentioned eating up by a few percent refers to the annexation of parts and population.This is because the population of the Jurchen is insufficient, and the population is the most critical force, and the territory is not counted.There is land and no one is like a man without a soul. Under the Jurchen system, it doesn't make much sense.

In the original history, Nurhachi didn't quite understand the meaning of it, so he treated the Han people cruelly, and almost lost the gold he built himself.Thanks to his timely death, Huang Taiji immediately changed his policy and vigorously wooed the Han and Mongols. While expanding the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, he frantically plundered and robbed the population.

In short, the current Nurhachi does not seem to understand this truth. He feels that he has won about half of the three parts of Changbai Mountain, whether it is population or land, and has already made a lot of money. Just silence the drums and express willingness to obey.

Not only that, in order to prove his "loyalty", he also offered to be recruited many times during the Korean War.This incident had never happened in history, but the high pragmatism made it a reality, which led to the follow-up of the Jurchen coalition forces going south to fight.

Of course, Gao Yushi didn't really need them in terms of strength. He did this only to deepen the conflict and hatred between the Jurchens and the Koreans. As mentioned earlier, Gao Yushi wanted to move the Jurchens to North Korea.

In this way, as long as the conflict between the Jurchens and the Koreans cannot be resolved, the Ming court can act as a detached mediator and judge, and the conflicts between the Han people and the Koreans that might have been intensified can be easily transferred away.

Although the Jurchens are brave, the problem of insufficient population still exists, so they need the support of the Ming court to gain a foothold in the new territory of North Korea.As a result, Daming took advantage of both sides at the same time.

It has to be said that the Anglo-Saxon bandits have played this trick for hundreds of years, which is really reasonable. Gao Pragmatism's doing so is also a stone from other mountains that can be used to attack jade.

All in all, with the division of Jurchen and the internal attachment of North Korea, the pressure of the Ming Dynasty on the northeast frontier was also greatly reduced in an instant.Considering that Japan will be attacked in the future, once it succeeds, Da Ming will really "draw his sword and look around at a loss" in Northeast Asia, and there is no opponent at all.

Born in adversity and died in peace, it is not a good thing to have no opponents. The decline of Chinese dynasties often began in a period of no opponents, so opponents are always needed. The only problem is... Where is the opponent?

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in later generations, Midi once had a period of "seeking defeat alone".

It is true that most of Midi’s wars are still aimed at the interests of a certain interest group or a few interest groups, but there is also a strategic mistake in that it considers itself God’s darling and a country on the top of a mountain, so it is "responsible" to the whole world. For example, sending dishes all over the world, exporting what they think is universal value and so on.

To put it simply: "I don't know what I should do anymore, so I can do whatever I want. If there is a country that doesn't believe in me and keeps dancing with me, then I will kill it first."

This is actually a kind of sickness in a monotheistic country, which is to insist on ideas such as "light must defeat darkness", but never imagine that light and darkness are in harmony and opposite - without darkness, what is light?This kind of thinking is even far behind the philosophical thinking of ancient China, just look at the harmony of yin and yang in Tai Chi Pisces.

Therefore, ancient Chinese monarchs often said that the emperor was "in China and ruled all nations", which means that if "all nations" voluntarily ask to join China, China can educate them;

But there is one point: "China" is the foundation of all this, and we must first ensure the stability of "China" itself.However, here comes a problem that the ancient Chinese have never solved: when China is stable and there are no opponents around, it often loses the motivation to go further, let alone take the initiative to educate the barbarians.

At the same time, because of the so-called "dynastic cycle law", the uneven distribution of wealth began to appear in China at this time, the life of the people at the bottom became increasingly difficult, and the upper ruling class became increasingly corrupt. Then conflicts broke out, uprisings sprang up, the country fell into civil strife, and the dynasty was overthrown , reshuffle the cards, and a new round of "periodic law" will be staged again.

Therefore, the "law of dynastic cycles" lies in nothing else but whether the distribution of social wealth can always be controlled within a reasonable range.

It's not that your emperor, your nobles, and bureaucrats can't own a lot of wealth, but that no matter how much you own, at least a certain percentage must be set aside for ordinary people.If this distribution ratio is seriously out of balance, to the point where you are extravagant and wasteful of delicacies from mountains and seas, but ordinary people can only be forced to eat chaff and dust, then why don't they rebel?

However, it is human nature to accumulate wealth. Emperors, nobles, bureaucrats, and landlords and wealthy businessmen are no different in this regard. It is not realistic to expect them to strictly control their desires.So what to do?

The solution for later generations is called "making a bigger cake", and the cake is wealth.This method can also be used in ancient times in theory. After all, as long as the cake is bigger, even if the proportion of things that can be distributed to the people remains the same or even decreases, as long as the absolute value of the distribution is increased, it can be avoided to a certain extent. The common people couldn't get enough to eat, and finally rebelled.

However, this is theory, and practice is still difficult.Because of the so-called "ancient", productivity has only risen slowly for thousands or hundreds of years, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect to cut a little bit of this increase to feed the people.

So, how can we make a bigger cake faster?Maritime trade is one way, but its beneficiaries are mainly dignitaries, bureaucrats, and wealthy businessmen in terms of class, and mainly coastal provinces in terms of geography.

Of course, ordinary people have more or less benefits, that is, through the consumption of layers of super rich, wealthy businessmen, middle-class, and small-scale people to benefit ordinary people (provide services or basic commodities in exchange), but it is obviously not enough. And the area is too small.Therefore, although maritime trade is good, it is not enough. We must also consider "driving the development of inland areas" and avoiding "increasing economic imbalances between regions."

At this time, it is necessary to pick up the overland Silk Road that has been abandoned for many years, otherwise the coastal areas may not rebel in the future, but Shaanxi, Gansu and other places still have a chance to produce "Li Zicheng".

For Gao Yushi, of course he can understand the above principles, but it may not be useful to tell the emperor.If you want to persuade the emperor, you have to use a method that the emperor can understand.

For example, now, the highly pragmatic way of persuasion is: if it seems that there is no opponent, then create one yourself; if it seems that there is no threat, then create one yourself.

As long as the emperor is leading the car, what the car can carry is the final decision of the high pragmatism, not the emperor.Gao Yushi doesn't feel guilty about this, after all, it's for Daming's benefit, and he doesn't have any selfish intentions—of course, he doesn't mind making some money along the way.

Gao Yushi just talked for a long time, and what he said was nothing more than to guide Zhu Yijun's thinking in this direction: Although the Chahar people were beaten away, they didn't run far away. Just in Yarkand, this threat is still there. It exists, but in a different direction—look, isn’t it time to make trouble again?
Now that Chahar's [-] troops marched eastward, Suzhou was defeated in a short period of time, Ganzhou was shocked, and Shaanxi was shaken. Isn't this a big deal?
Now that the north is stable, how is the current situation different from that after Li Tang defeated the Eastern Turks?Except that the capital is not in Guanzhong, it is almost exactly the same!Since it is the same, then of course Daming's next strategy should also be "defeating the Western Turks"!

Zhu Yijun quickly "figured it out", slapped his thigh, and said: "Rixin, if you want to talk about such a grand strategy, you must be the most clear. I have decided that sending troops to the Western Regions must be done, but As you said, this matter is not easy, and all preparations must be made to ensure a successful battle."

Gao Wushi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"You are a local official, how long do you think these preparations will take to complete?" Zhu Yijun asked, then seemed to remember something, and added: "Without affecting North Korea's attachment."

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, made a rough estimate, and then said: "Overall, I think it is best to have two years to complete the preliminary preparations. These preparations include mobilizing and training relevant troops, contacting Tumed and Ordos, Buy or rent enough camels, stockpile general rations at the front line in advance and store them properly, etc.”

"Two years..." Zhu Yijun pondered for a while, and asked: "In two years, all kinds of things related to North Korea should be almost done, right?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said: "If there are no major accidents, this is a matter of course. But the emperor, don't forget that there is Japan..."

"Wait a minute." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "The Japanese affairs... how should I put it, there is a lot of controversy within the imperial court."

Seeing that Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows after hearing this, he immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, signaling the latter to be calm, and then continued: "I saw you insisted at the beginning, so I naturally supported your view. Yes, but after listening to your analysis of the matter of the Western Regions just now, I think... there must be a focus, or we need to adjust the order and priorities."

Gao Wushi frowned slightly: "The emperor means that the Pingwa War should be postponed, and the matter in the Western Regions should be settled first?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Yijun asked, he still attached great importance to highly pragmatic opinions.

Gao Wushi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's not impossible to adjust the priorities, but it's very wrong to miss the current opportunity."

"How do you say this?"

"What I mean is that the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His so-called Toyotomi public manners, I have explained to the emperor in the memorial before, that the problem is actually very big, and it is because of his civil position. Infringing on the authority of General Zhengyi is not in line with the tradition of the Japanese country, and many people in the country have always secretly opposed it.

When he was alive, relying on his strength, prestige, and some tactics, he could barely suppress it, at least he could maintain his face, but now he himself is dead, and his only son is young and ignorant.

According to Chen's original idea, as long as he secretly provokes at this time to intensify the contradictions in the country of Japan, and then pulls, fights, and deters one faction, Japan can be taken down relatively easily, forcing all the big names to surrender one after another, and then Even if the goal is achieved..."

"Hey, wait a minute." Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Is the goal achieved by all the big names surrendering one after another? Don't you plan to let them be included like North Korea?"

"It's difficult." Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "There is still a big difference between Japan and North Korea. North Korea is connected to us by land. Once it is attached to it and the legal system is established, the Liaodong Army will be a sharp sword hanging above its head. What's more, at that time, we can also station troops in the local area, which will be more convenient to suppress lawlessness. If the Jurchen is transferred to it, it will make it impossible for them to unite and make it easier for our court to... spread out.

The Wa Kingdom is different. It is isolated overseas. If it wants to send troops to suppress lawlessness at any time, it must maintain a strong navy for a long time. It is a common practice, but it cannot be relied on, otherwise, wouldn't the priority of the court and the people be reversed?

However, there is no need for the imperial navy to maintain a large scale for a long time. After all, apart from Japan, the imperial court currently has no dangers at sea, and a navy exists only for war. It can be said to be amazing... The emperor should know how much the Jinghua Ocean Trade Fleet was built in the past 20 years, right? "

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I still have some understanding of the situation - I just spent 35 taels of silver on your ship 'Dongchang', and I know that the two fleets are worth tens of millions. The capital of the silver was thrown in.

Hmph, you are in charge of the Ministry of Accounts. Do you think the imperial court spends such a large amount of money to build a navy that is not needed at all, what will the outer court say, and what will the scholars and civilians say? "

When Zhu Yijun said this, he suddenly squeezed his throat and said in a pretentious manner: "Since the emperor is rich all over the world, it is wise to be cautious and pick up virtue. I don't know how to take silver to a few hundred thousand taels, and Suolu silk to a few thousand pieces." Festival. Today, tens of millions of taels are wasted thinking of a navy, what a pain! There are no disturbances in the world, why are you planning to build a navy? The emperor has no reason to explain himself. Why do you believe in the world and obey Yi's heart!"

Zhu Yijun mocked himself by pretending to be a courtier and admonishing him bitterly, so Gao Wushi couldn't hold back his serious expression, so he burst out laughing.

But Zhu Yijun didn't smile, instead he pretended to be angry and said: "You're still laughing! You don't know that I have been the emperor for nearly 30 years. It's good that I didn't take charge of the government at the beginning, and the courtiers would go to the public to praise it from time to time. Since then, not to mention the daily, every month will always have such 'harsh advice'.

Let me tell you, they are different from the "harsh words" you just said. You are just talking about the facts. Not comfortable!It's really unlucky to make me angry on purpose! "

It's hard to say that this kind of matter is too high-practical, so I just smiled and said: "I didn't seem to get angry because of this."

"Ha, that's, that's." Zhu Yijun groaned and said, "They want to make me angry, because they want to be famous in history, I don't know if they want to let them succeed? I just ignore it They, all stay in the middle, let them hit the cotton with a fist...the name will go down in history? It's a fucking dream of spring and autumn!"

Gao Wushi couldn't help laughing again, but Zhu Yijun felt emotional, got up and walked to him, held down Gao Wushi who wanted to stand up, and said: "It's not impossible to want to be famous in history, just learn from you? Annan Dingbei, Pingxi conquering east, future generations will mention, who can't raise their thumbs and say "Shuangzai Gaogong"?
But they don't have any skills, they only use scolding the emperor as a shortcut to keep their names, and they all think they are Wei Zheng... What a joke!If it weren't for Li Shimin's rule of Zhenguan, no matter how outspoken Wei Zheng was, who in the history would care about him? "

It was rare for Gao Yushi to listen to Zhu Yijun's comments, but he did not expect such sharp-pointed comments, so he couldn't help but bow his hands in awe and said: "The emperor's high opinion, the subject also deeply agrees."

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied, but he waved his hand quickly: "Forget it, I will tell you these words, and I keep them in my heart on weekdays, and I dare not tell anyone... This palace, don't look The rules seem to be very strict, but in fact they have always been a sieve.”

Hey, it's not easy to answer your words, after all, the courtiers in the palace don't seem to have much control over the door.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun didn't intend to wait for him to answer, but sat back and said with emotion: "It's good if you come back, I finally have someone who can talk...the empress and concubine Zheng can usually say a few words, but the empress She is very polite, once what I say seems to be related to the government, she can't wait to follow Xu You's example and wash her ears.

Concubine Zheng was a bit more courageous, but since the empress recovered her body a few years ago, even though she hadn't given birth to a prince at that time, Concubine Zheng has been silent a lot.

To tell you the truth, when the imperial concubine was born today, the first thing I thought of was Concubine Zheng. I don't know how she is feeling now. I... am very worried about her. "

Gao Wushi suddenly realized, and thought to himself: I just said why the emperor was so angry because of the fall of Suzhou just now. Although the matter is indeed not small, for an emperor who has been in power for 30 years, he did not go into a rage. , this is too out of character.

It turned out that the reason behind it was here... The emperor was both happy and worried because of the birth of the emperor's son, and fell into some kind of emotional self-contradiction. Naturally, he was very sensitive, and his emotions were very easy to lose control.

But even if this kind of matter is highly pragmatic, it is not easy to persuade, so I can only change the subject a little bit, saying: "Concubine Zheng Huang has been with the emperor for many years, and the emperor knows and loves her well, it is really reasonable to feel this way.

However, today is the joy of the world, the joy of the emperor, and the joy of the empress. If the emperor ignores the empress's feelings because of guilt towards Zheng Huangguifei, I secretly think that it is unfair to the empress, and please the emperor... "

"You're right. I realized it before you came, and I went to visit the queen on purpose...but when she heard that you were coming to see her, she quickly kicked me out."

Zhu Yijun sighed: "Rixin, to be honest, the queen is really a good queen, that's... oh."

Gao Wushi probably understands his intentions, maybe he thinks that the queen's problem is that he cares too much about being a good queen, which makes the relationship between him and her less like an ordinary couple.However, this kind of thing is sometimes unavoidable, and perhaps it can be said that it is also a kind of "this matter is difficult in ancient times".

Gao Wushi had no choice but to accompany the emperor with a wry smile, and said: "When the emperor said this, I also felt quite the same... The Huang family, the official wife of the minister, also has a similar temperament to the empress, so he has been traveling between the north and the south for so many years. , It's very hard to manage. In addition, I often go out for war, and sometimes she has to adjust the time of returning to Beijing to accommodate him, which makes me feel quite guilty."

Feeling sorry for each other now, Zhu Yijun couldn't bear it, and said: "In the future, you don't need to lead the troops yourself. I don't see any big battles that require you to go out in person. The Western Regions are too far away, even if there is a place like the Yili River Valley It's a good place, but after all, the road is really shitty, you are a literati, if you burn yourself out on the road, how can I talk to Mrs. Zun?"

Gao Yushi said emotionally: "I am grateful for the emperor's favor. If it is true that I don't need to lead the army in person, I would naturally be willing to be lazy in the capital... But if there is any disharmony, I dare not resign myself with hard work. Otherwise, how will I explain to the late emperor in the future?"

Now that the first emperor was mentioned, Zhu Yijun didn't have much to say. After all, the first emperor did train and expect Gao Yushi as his son's chief assistant in the future. Both he and Gao Yushi knew all about these situations.

"Your achievements in these years are enough to comfort the late emperor." Zhu Yijun could only affirm in this way, and then suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the emperor's son was born today, and I regret something when I think about it, but It’s not good to tell other people, I can only talk to you.”

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, and asked, "What will make the emperor regret it?"

"Chang Luo." Zhu Yijun sighed, and said distressedly: "It's easy to get this name. He is not the eldest son, how could he have given the word 'Luo' to him earlier? But this matter has long been done, and now I regret it It’s too late, which is really annoying.”

Gao Wushi said in astonishment: "The emperor said he regretted it... just because of this?"

Zhu Yijun said dissatisfiedly: "This is a big deal! Do you know that knowing my name puts the expectation of the late emperor?"

Then I know for sure, but it's not a big problem... at least it's not that big.

Seeing that Gao Wushi still seemed a little disapproving, Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes, and then seemed to think of something temporarily, and said curiously: "Hey, when I talked about this, I suddenly remembered your eldest son...is he the eldest son of the first wife? His name is Gao Yuan, right?"

"I never thought that the humble name of the dog would be remembered by the emperor. I was terrified. On behalf of the dog, I thank the emperor for his concern." Gao's pragmatic answer was as watertight as ever.

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to be concerned about this, but continued to ask: "But you... the adopted son of Yongning is named Gao Luo?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the sixth son of this minister is also the third son." Gao Wushi replied.

"Is there really such a thing?" Zhu Yijun frowned, "Don't you think that such a name might make Gao Yuan... um, worry?"

Gao Wushi was surprised: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

"Luoshui, the source of literature in China; Luoyang, the China of China." Zhu Yijun said very seriously: "What's more, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened a course to recruit scholars in Luoyang, and Wu Zetian started martial arts in Luoyang. The word Luo is very important... Impossible. You named your third son Luo, so there really is no other meaning?"

Gao Wushi was suddenly frightened by Zhu Yijun's words into a cold sweat, and changed his expression in front of the emperor very rarely.

But he reacted very quickly, he stood up and straightened his clothes, then bowed down and said: "The emperor's question is probably not about whether Quan Ziyuan is worried, but because he chose this name for his third son." Unruly intentions. This refers to ministers who dare not accept it, not to mention the fact that Zheng Luo, the former Shaanxi-Gansu economic strategy, was also named after Luo?
As for the name of the sixth son of the minister Gao Luo, it was even more surprising that Luo was named after him.That day the eldest princess asked the minister if he had chosen a name for the son, but the minister said that he had not yet chosen one, and asked the eldest princess what he thought.The eldest princess said that she hoped that the child's name could be related to Chen's hometown.

Chen is from Henan, and the children in the family are all named after the water. Since the eldest princess said that the name should be related to Chen's hometown, Chen naturally thought of Luoshui first, so he named it Luo.

As mentioned above, please ask the emperor to immediately summon the eldest princess of Yongning to come to have an interview. During this period, I will not meet anyone. If the eldest princess comes, I should also avoid it. "
