Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 68 Please fight!

Forbidden City, East Palace.

"what?"

After hearing the report from the close maid, Mrs. Lu showed an inconceivable look: "You said that Zhu Yunxi beat King Shen and the others?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid replied: "Third Highness doesn't know what's wrong, he seems to have changed suddenly, several princes are not his opponents, they were beaten by him so helplessly, they all begged for mercy."

Listening, Lu's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

She originally wanted to use the hands of a few princes to teach Zhu Yunxi a lesson, so that he, who just showed his face, would return to his previous cowardly appearance again.

But she never expected that Zhu Yunxi would teach the princes backhandedly.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

Instead of turning Zhu Yunxi back to his original form, it made him show a tough side.

Why is it like this?
Mrs. Lu frowned, pondered hard for a long time, and muttered to herself: "Could it be that... the third child has been hiding his clumsiness?"

Thinking of Zhu Yunxi's changes during this period, not only has he improved in his studies, but his fist and kick skills have suddenly become hardened, and he even poses a faint threat to his own Wen'er.

Lu's eyes gradually became sharper.

"Third son, third son, you really know how to pick your time. You don't jump out sooner or later, but you jump out after your father is gone!"

Even though it was unbelievable that Zhu Yunxi had been hiding his clumsiness, Lu Shi had to let himself believe it.

She has worked so hard for so many years, could it be that someone picked the peaches in the end?
Thinking of this, Lu's heart felt like a stone was pressed on her heart, making her a little out of breath.

Ever since Zhu Xiongying left, Mrs. Lu knew that her chance had come.

Since then, the Lu family has trained Zhu Yunxuan as the future prince. As for Zhu Yunxuan's younger brother, she has been tightly controlled by her on weekdays.

Why did it suddenly seem to be out of control?
Lu asked with a gloomy face, "What does the emperor say?"

The palace maid replied cautiously: "Eunuch An said that the old emperor called the princes to reprimand them, and after asking about the situation, he suddenly laughed again..."

"Snapped!"

Before the maid could finish her words, Mrs. Lu swept the tea set on the table to the ground, so frightened that the maid swallowed her words in an instant, crouched down, and kept silent.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

At this time, when Zhu Yunwen came in, he happened to bump into this scene, and hurriedly strode to Lu Shi's side.

The Lu family has always worshiped the Buddha, and looks virtuous and virtuous on weekdays.

Why are you so angry today?

When Mrs. Lu heard her son's voice, she woke up as if awakened from a dream, her gaze seemed to have just come back from a distant place.

"Steam."

Mrs. Lu glanced at her beloved son, and then said to the court lady lying on the ground: "You go out first!"

If the court lady was granted an amnesty, she quickly resigned.

After seeing the palace maid left, Lu Shi pulled Zhu Yunwen to her side, and said quietly: "Yuan'er, your father told mother when he was dying, let us beware of your uncles, but I just found out today, The one to watch out for is the third child!"

"Why is it him again? What happened to him?"

A look of impatience appeared on Zhu Yunqi's face.

In his eyes, Zhu Yunxi is a useless younger brother. Although he doesn't say anything, he despises this younger brother from the bottom of his heart, but now he makes his mother angry and worried again and again. How does this make him Not bored?
"Hey--"

Mrs. Lu sighed, and said, "Your uncles went to find trouble with the third child, but they were taught a lesson by the third child. Your grandpa seems to appreciate the third child's actions..."

"what?"

Before Lu could finish speaking, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help being surprised and said, "How many lessons has Zhu Yunxi taught King Shen and the others?"

Mrs. Lu looked at Zhu Yunxuan with a surprised face, and said slowly: "Xun'er, mother really underestimated the third child. He has been guarding against us, like a poisonous snake, lurking beside us, and wants to be at the critical moment. Give both of us a fatal blow!"

Zhu Yunwen listened, his fists already clenched.

a long time.

When Zhu Yunwen looked at Lu Shi again, his eyes were like knives, and he said quietly: "Don't worry, mother, the child will not lose to him!"

Only then did Mrs. Lu nodded slowly, but a stern look flashed in her eyes...

……

At the same time, Fengtian Temple.

It was already night, but the place was brightly lit.

After dealing with part of the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and finally decided to call a group of civil and military ministers.

Catch up with the most diligent emperor in history, and the life of the minister is not easy. Every morning, he has to go to the morning court. After a busy day of official duties, he may be called at night, and there is no special matter, and he is always on call. , tonight is like this.

When the ministers arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang in the room was still buried behind a pile of tall memorials.

"Are they all here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's faint voice came out from behind the memorial.

"Return to Your Majesty, all are here!"

The eunuch who passed the decree replied in a high-pitched voice.

While looking at the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let them in."

Outside.

Six ministers, Hanlin bachelors, as well as Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing and other founding veterans. It can be said that a group of people with the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty gathered here.

Not knowing what the emperor called for, the ministers were unavoidably a little apprehensive.

After entering, all the ministers saluted together.

"I will pay my respects to the emperor, long live the emperor..."

"Alright, alright."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand, and said, "Don't waste time before and after this long live."

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the booklet in his hand and said: "This is the booklet presented by the magistrate of Taizhou a few days ago. It said that Japanese pirates invaded Taozhu Village in Taizhou, burned, killed and looted, killed 36 villagers, and abducted women. A total of 15 people, and all the property of the villagers' homes was wiped out!"

"You say every day that our country is peaceful and peaceful, so tell me, what's going on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's emotionless voice fell, and the room was quiet.

"Shen Mo."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roll call, Shen Mo quickly stood up: "The minister is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at Shen Mo, and said, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Mo's mind was spinning quickly, and he replied: "My lord, the Japanese pirates have been suffering for a long time. They have colluded with Zhang Shicheng and other remnants of the southern forces and coastal smugglers to occupy the island and invade the coastal area from time to time. Now my Ming Dynasty is in the coastal area of ​​Fujian. Four counties built [-] cities on the sea, and the people served as soldiers to prevent the Japanese pirates, and achieved some results, but the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates are erratic, and it is extremely difficult to prevent, and it is inevitable that the people will be harassed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shen Min and said slowly, "Then according to what you said, there is no way to solve the problem of Japanese pirates?"

Shen Mo didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she lowered her head silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a glance and said, "What about the others? Is there a way to solve the problem of the Japanese pirates?"

The voice fell, and there was another silence below.

All the ministers are watching their noses and noses and their mouths.

If there is a way, they have already submitted it in the form of a booklet, why bother to wait until now?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers without anger.

In the hall, the atmosphere became tense.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak up like our grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether he was happy or helpless in his heart, and he said slowly: "You have nothing to do, then listen to us, we thought that such a bandit trouble should be wiped out with a large army!"

Hearing this, all the ministers showed expressions of surprise.

It was too sudden.

Who could have imagined that the emperor called them here late at night to send out a large army to suppress the Japanese pirates who could only be regarded as small-scale intrusions.

You know, the emperor has always been cautious in using troops except for the northwest.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Liu Sanwu was the first to stand up and said: "In order to guard against the Japanese pirates, there are already a lot of troops deployed along the coast, and now we have to deploy a large army rashly, fearing that it will waste people and money!"

"Yes!"

Liu Sanwu's son-in-law, Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the natural disasters in Shandong and Henan have just passed, and there are frequent famines in various places. The treasury is tight, and every movement of the army is all money and food!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Shen Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also agreed.

"Ah--"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard the words, and said: "When talking about solutions, one is more silent than the other, but when asking questions, one is more enthusiastic than the other!"

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Not only do we want to destroy the Japanese pirates, but we also want to destroy the Japanese country, so as to avoid future troubles!"

When the voice fell to the ground, the hall exploded directly.

What's the matter, the emperor?
The attitude towards Wa Kingdom suddenly reversed without warning.

I remember that not long ago, the emperor wrote in the instructions of the emperor's ancestors that all the barbarians in the four directions are limited to mountains and seas, and are secluded in a corner. The land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to command. , Come to scratch my side, it is ominous, that is not a trouble for China, but it is also ominous for me to raise troops and lightly commit crimes.

Why is it suddenly necessary to fight the Wa country?

Qian Tang, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, pouted his neck and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that the life of the people is already hard enough. If the Emperor insists on going to war, I am afraid that both sides will suffer, and the foundation of the country will be damaged. !"

"Yes!"

Liu Sanwu stood up again and said: "Besides, the Wa country is a small country, even if it is defeated, it will not be of great benefit to my Ming Dynasty!"

Fang Xiaoru also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the large-scale deployment of troops is not worth the loss! Huairou is far away, and this is the way of peace!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already obtained the answers to these questions from his grandson.

He couldn't guarantee that his eldest grandson must be right.

But he wanted to give it a try, especially the more the civil servants objected, the more he wanted to give it a try. While he was still alive, he was confident that he had the ability to give his grandson a complete answer.

When the prince was still alive, what Zhu Yuanzhang was most dissatisfied with was that the prince was too generous and benevolent, so he was easily influenced by these civil servants. He very much hoped that the prince would be tough and shine like a king!
With the death of the crown prince, there is no chance for those, but he still has his grandson!

At this time, voices of opposition gradually appeared in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched all this silently, and did not make a sound to stop it.

Gradually, voices of opposition increased.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the minister's explanation of his interests, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Has Daming been stable for too long, and has lost the unstoppable vigor of the beginning?

"boom!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's broad palm suddenly slapped on the desk, making the noisy hall instantly quiet.

"Huairou Yuanren?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the civil servants, and said slowly: "Let me ask you, at the beginning of the founding of the country, we sent envoys to all the barbarians in the four directions to declare that the Mongolian Yuan was destroyed and let the four sides submit, but only the Japanese country did not submit. The Wa Kingdom led the bandits to plunder the coast with zero uniforms!"

"In the second year of Hongwu, we sent another letter of credence to the country of Wa, warning the country that if we do not obey, we will go straight to the country to bind its lord. What happened? The five envoys we sent were killed on the spot, and our Ming Dynasty was detained. Messengers!"

"In the third year of Hongwu, we once again issued a letter to let them become ministers, and manage their subjects well. Don't harass our Daming coast. Let's see what they replied? The Celestial Dynasty has a strategy to promote war, and the small state also has a plan to defend against the enemy!"

"Aren't we Huairou yet? But take a look, how does the Wa country treat us?"

"You scholars usually claim to have the most backbone, but at this time, have your backbone been eaten by dogs?"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled and asked, making all the civil servants finally lower their heads.

"The barbarians are not my kind, their hearts must be different, the strong will be bandits, the weak and humble, disregarding kindness and righteousness, their nature is too!"

"Our eldest grandson is right, the fist is the last word, and only when the fist is hard can you make sense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke so excitedly that his mouth watered for a while.

Big grandson?

Fang Xiaoru, Qitai, Huang Zicheng, and the three present were all startled.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly, pointed at the civil and military people in the field, and scolded: "We see that you have been stable for too long, not only have you lost the courage to fight to the death! You have even changed your attitude towards the enemy!" Be merciful!"

"Just imagine, if the people who were killed, the women and children who were taken away were your family members, would you still say such things?"

"What kind of catastrophe did the people along the coast suffer because of the Japanese pirates? How many families were destroyed? How many were riddled with holes?"

"Thieves cannot be guarded against, they must be destroyed before peace can be found!"

"We are bound to destroy the Wa country this time, and let the people of Ming Dynasty know that we can keep their homeland!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell, and a needle could be heard in Fengtian Hall.

moment.

There was a bang in the hall.

"Emperor Shengming!"

I saw Song Guogong Feng Sheng stood up, cupped his hands and said: "To tell you the truth, I have felt aggrieved in the early years, and I have long wanted to destroy the Japanese country, but there is no chance. With such a good opportunity, I am willing to be the vanguard and swear to fight to the death." !"

"Your Majesty, my minister Geng Bingwen is willing to go, wipe out the Japanese pirates, conquer the Japanese country, and restore peace to the coast!"

"Chen, Fu Youde, please fight!"

"Chen, Li Jinglong, please fight!"
