Chapter 1537 Ambition (3)

"Leader Dugu, there is no one else here. If you have anything to say, just speak up." After Cao Jixiang stepped back, Zhu Qizhen said.

Dugu Jiutian glanced at the two eunuchs who were on duty, Zhu Qizhen already understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Leader Dugu, please don't worry, they are only on duty. If you hear it, you will soon forget it."

Dugu Jiutian suddenly put his body together, cupped his hands towards Zhu Qizhen and said: "This time I come to see the emperor, I really have something important to tell you, please ask the emperor to drink back, so that I can speak freely."

Zhu Qizhen's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "This..."

He originally wanted to say, "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate", but when the words came to his lips, seeing Dugu Jiutian's solemn face, not angry and majestic, for some reason, there was a chill in his heart, and he dared not continue.

In contrast, Dugu Jiutian's aura is far superior to Zhu Qizhen's, and he raised his head and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what Dugu wants to say today is related to the future of Daming. Apart from the emperor and his subordinates, there must be no third person around." Next, please give the emperor's order."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, then chose to back down, waved his hand, and shouted: "You two, why don't you go back quickly? Pass on my order, and no one is allowed to come ten steps closer to the imperial study room without my order. Do you dare to inquire about it?" Those who are killed without mercy."

The two duty halls were too listening, and their minds were shocked.In an uneasy mood, although he felt that His Majesty's move was too risky, he had to listen.When retreating, the two not only closed the door, but also called the guards outside the door away, leaving no one behind.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen being so "bold", Dugu Jiutian couldn't help admiring him, and secretly said: "After three days of farewell, you should look at him with admiration. The current Zhu Qizhen is indeed not the old Amon." Then he thought: "But , you are young after all, compared to me, Dugu Jiutian, you are much younger."

Then, the imperial study room fell into a dead silence.Dugu Jiutian neither opened his mouth nor Zhu Qizhen asked.The two stood and sat, although they were looking at each other, they were both thinking about their own affairs.

After the time for a cup of tea passed, Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear it anymore, but felt a cold sweat in his palms, and asked, "Leader Dugu, what important things do you have to tell me?"

Dugu Jiutian smiled, bent his upper body slightly, and said: "I have a merciless request, and I hope the emperor can agree."

Seeing that he suddenly became so respectful, Zhu Qizhen was taken aback for a moment.For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't answer immediately, Dugu Jiutian smiled even more, and looked very kind.But anyone can figure out that behind this friendly smile, there must be a huge "devil" lurking, which can make you fall into a situation beyond redemption at any time.

The arena fell into dead silence again. Although Dugu Jiutian didn't perform any martial arts, his aura was far superior to ordinary people, and he exuded a forceful aura.If Zhu Qizhen hadn't relied on the majesty of the emperor, he might have already hidden under the table.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen knew that Dugu Jiutian was really powerful, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart, but he had already become like riding a tiger, and after taking a breath, he bit the bullet and said: "What kind of merciless request, leader Dugu, but it's okay to say .”

Dugu Jiutian said word by word: "I want to borrow one hundred thousand soldiers from the emperor."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen gasped.

Dugu Jiutian's request was actually not difficult for him.As long as he issues an imperial decree to designate Dugu Jiutian as the "Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses", he can command anyone, let alone a hundred thousand, or a million.However, borrowing soldiers is a small matter, and more importantly, why did Dugu Jiutian borrow [-] soldiers? What did he want these [-] soldiers for?
Zhu Qi calmed down and said: "Leader Dugu, you borrowed [-] troops from me. Could it be that you want to deal with the Diancang faction? I heard that the Diancang faction has become at odds with you because they don't listen to your orders. "

Dugu Jiutian smiled "haha" and said: "The emperor is too worried. The matter of the Diancang faction is just a martial arts dispute. Even if I am confused, I will not be so confused that I want to use the power of the court to eradicate it. The matter of martial arts , it should be solved in the way of people in the rivers and lakes."

Zhu Qizhen heaved a sigh of relief, and asked: "But what's the use of the leader Dugu borrowing troops?"

Dugu Jiutian rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled and said: "Before answering the emperor's question, can I ask the emperor a few things?"

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Master Dugu, please tell me."

Dugu Jiutian said: "Does the emperor know how big the world is?"

Zhu Qizhen became more and more puzzled, but had to ponder for a while, and said: "I haven't thought about how big the world is. However, in my opinion, there are many small countries around my Ming Dynasty. Such as Siam and Fusang.”

Dugu Jiutian said: "The emperor's words are very true, but I don't know if the emperor has any impression of 'Sanbao eunuch'?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sanbao eunuch?" Suddenly remembering who this person is, his face changed, and he said: "I have heard of this person before. This person's original surname is Ma, and because of his military exploits, he was given the surname Zhen by my great-grandfather. His name is Zheng He. This person led a large number of fleets to go overseas seven times to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that he passed through many countries along the way, and the local customs and customs are very different from our Ming Dynasty."

Dugu Jiutian nodded and said: "Unexpectedly, the emperor is so clear about this matter."

Zhu Qizhen said: "When I was young, I heard the stories of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West from the old eunuchs around me, so I know a thing or two."

Dugu Jiutian thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Does the emperor know how big the former dynasty's territory is?"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and said: "I really don't know how big the former dynasty was. I only know that the Mongols have been living in Mobei since they were driven out of the Central Plains."

Dugu Jiutian said: "As far as I know, the area conquered by the Mongols was very vast. Although the territory of our Ming Dynasty is not small, it is far behind. Did the emperor ever think of following the example of the two emperors Taizu and Chengzu to expand our territory? The land of the Ming Dynasty, push it to the point where it surpasses the previous dynasty." When he was speaking, he kept looking at Zhu Qizhen, his eyes seemed a little threatening.

Zhu Qizhen's heart was shocked after hearing what Dugu Jiutian said.He didn't dare to look at Dugu Jiutian, avoiding the latter's eyes, and said: "How can I compare with the two former emperors? I just want to be able to defend the land of Ming Dynasty, that's enough."

Dugu Jiutian let out a loud laugh after hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was in a state of confusion, and said in surprise: "Leader Dugu, you..."

Dugu Jiutian laughed, and said: "Why should the emperor underestimate himself? According to my opinion, the emperor is absolutely capable of expanding the territory of Ming Dynasty to a situation that no one has ever seen before, and no one will come after. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the emperor borrows Dugu One hundred thousand elite soldiers, Dugu can guarantee that within five years, the territory of Ming Dynasty will be no less than that of the previous dynasty. In about ten years, wherever there is land, our flag of Ming Dynasty will be planted. It will be under the jurisdiction of my Daming."

After hearing Dugu Jiutian's words, Zhu Qizhen took a breath, and only then did he really understand Dugu Jiutian's intention to borrow one hundred thousand elite soldiers from him.It turns out that Dugu Jiutian's ambition is so big, it's big enough to make anyone who listened to him feel that this is a fundamentally impossible thing to do.

If the person in front of Dugu Jiutian is not Zhu Qizhen, but Zhu Qizhen's great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, or Zhu Qizhen's great-grandfather Zhu Di, they must have great ambitions after hearing Dugu Jiutian's words, and they will immediately worship the generalissimo of Dugu Jiutian.

It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen didn't inherit the belligerent temperament of these two ancestors, he was silent for a while, and said: "Leader Dugu, this matter is too important, I need some time to think about it."

Dugu Jiutian said: "The emperor needs time to think about it. Fortunately, the affairs in the martial arts have not been completely settled, and I have no time to serve as the emperor. After the martial arts are completely unified, I think the emperor will have his own ideas. I hope that the emperor will Don't let me down."

At this moment, what can Zhu Qizhen say?He took back the throne with great difficulty, but he didn't dare to turn against Dugu Jiutian at this time.He forced himself a smile, and said to Dugu Jiutian: "Please rest assured, Leader Dugu, I will carefully consider it during this period of time."
