Daming: Let you do your best to manage, do you go to health?

Chapter 114 The Great Talent in Governing the Border!

Zhu Zhanji looked down at the redemption bill in his hand, and let out a long breath.

150,000 taels, the money my mother had accumulated all her life, will be exhausted due to her big marriage, and it is even far from enough.

Thinking about the women in the previous life, they were all treated like concubines.
But as soon as this idea appeared, Zhu Zhanji shook his head quickly, and put these distracting thoughts behind him. Although he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he is also afraid of punching.

Turning around and returning to the house, after explaining to Hu Shanxiang, he walked out of the mansion.

Although there is still a gap between the two and three hundred thousand taels of silver that Zhu Zhanji needed for his wedding, it is not much.

Besides, with the 150,000 taels of silver, there is more room for maneuver.

After summoning the imperial chef who had learned the culinary skills of later generations from the palace, he chose a restaurant in the capital with a very good location but not very good business.

It is located on the banks of the Qinhuai River and has four floors.

Climbing up can overlook the whole capital city.

The view from the window is also very good.

But I don't know why, from the mouths of the people around me, the business is extremely deserted.

After getting to know the shopkeeper in person, Zhu Zhanji immediately bought all of this restaurant for 7000 taels of silver.

Originally, the shopkeeper's asking price was only 6000 taels of silver, but the reason why he offered 7000 taels was not because Zhu Zhanji was rich and lavish.

It was entirely because Zhu Zhanji knew his identity. It was inappropriate for the eldest grandson of the emperor to run a restaurant. Now that he bought it privately, he gave an extra thousand taels of silver to avoid problems in the future and being accused of oppressing the people.

After all, after Zhu Zhanji purchased this restaurant, the business of this restaurant will definitely be very hot in the future.

Maybe you will be accused by others of slandering and oppressing the people with low prices.

After coming here with the imperial chef in the palace, Zhu Zhanji told the other party his thoughts.

After paying a lot of money to find an experienced shopkeeper in various restaurants in the city, Zhu Zhanji handed over everything to them.All they were given was money and the next plan.

Zhu Zhanji did not intend to let the palace take full responsibility for this big wedding.Because Zhu Zhanji knew very well that in the eyes of others, this big wedding was an opportunity to make money.Zhu Zhanji couldn't do such a thing as being cheated of money by others.

So he has to personally arrange all the details of the wedding.

Not only did he want to run the big wedding well and minimize the money spent, he even planned to take the opportunity of the big wedding to earn more money.

The most important part of a big wedding is naturally the banquet, and the cooking skills of the imperial kitchens in the palace, even if they are very good and extraordinary, but after all, there are limitations of the times. The tastes of the times will not be so surprised.

So even though some dishes of later generations do not seem to be much better than the dishes of this era, the freshness of the first taste is enough to conquer the taste buds of many people.

And while letting those invited to the wedding feast eat well, there must always be some cost back.

This restaurant is the way for him to cash in.

Palace royal banquets, made by the royal chef, plus dishes that are different from this world, and publicity methods.
It is still in the most prosperous capital city of the Ming Dynasty, and the business is absolutely booming.

The most important thing is that when all the banquets are completed by these people in their own hands, the price will also be reduced a lot.

It can guarantee to the greatest extent that you will not be taken advantage of by others.

After a busy day, all these things have been prepared, and after the arrangements are made, the sky has already dimmed.

On the way home.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the two sides of the street, which seemed to be a lot more lively.

The inns everywhere are even more noisy.

Looking at the scene of lights and festoons in front of him, Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and smiled.

Tomorrow is the day when the imperial examinations will be announced as the champions. Those candidates who went to Beijing to rush for the exam gathered in the capital and studied hard for ten years in order to come tomorrow.

As the chief examiner of this imperial examination, I even forgot this day.

Can't help shaking his head and smiling.

The whole second day, Zhu Zhanji was still preparing for his wedding and canonization ceremony.

After all, besides the wedding banquet, there are many places that need to be prepared and arranged.

Especially since this is her big wedding, it naturally needs to be carefully arranged.

Although I have been busy all day, I am already very tired physically.

But looking at the lively scene of lights and festoons in the capital, Zhu Zhanji brought Hu Shanxiang out after finishing his work, and took him to wander around the capital.

The days of the champion of the new discipline in ancient times were extraordinary.

It is a grand festival.

Even if there is no one at home to refer to, they will go around the city to enjoy the lanterns.

There are many people here, so naturally it will be lively.

At the same time, compared to Zhu Zhanji who is leisurely wandering around the city with his future wife at the moment.

The inside of the palace was also a bustling scene.

After the imperial examination was completed, the emperor hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain all the officials.

The same is to celebrate this hilarious day.

At this moment, the emperor Zhu Di, who was standing on the dragon platform, held a glass of wine and looked at the officials sitting on both sides below.Following Zhu Di's actions, the officials on the two sides below also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses from the table in front of them, and looked at Zhu Di on the dragon platform respectfully.

Seeing this, Zhu Di said loudly. : "This time the imperial examination is in full swing, and you invigilators are tired."

"On behalf of all the disciples in the world, I offer you a toast!"

Just as Zhu Di raised his glass and was about to drink it down, his eyes scanned the place on the left next to Prince Anyu, which was empty.

Can't help asking: "Where's the eldest grandson?"

Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the first seat on Zhu Di's left, hurriedly said to his father: "Father, that kid couldn't see anyone early in the morning, and now he doesn't know where to go. How about my son?" Send someone to look for it again?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di thought for a while, then smiled, then waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the officials on both sides below and laughed and said, "I held a banquet in this palace to reward you for the masters of the world, but the chief examiner was not here."

Zhu Di's words immediately made many officials laugh.

After all, the chief examiner was the emperor's grandson. If someone else was talking about it, he would be blaming him, but since his grandfather was talking about his grandson, it was a joke.

The officials below can still understand these truths.

Immediately, Zhu Di continued to raise his glass and said to everyone: "Since the chief examiner doesn't want to drink the wine I gave, then we will drink ours."

Raise your glass and drink it down.

Seeing this, the officials below also cupped their hands and toasted, and shouted to Zhu Di on the dragon platform: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, to select talents for the world!"

After all, the same gulp.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Di on the dragon platform didn't know whether it was because his plans had gone smoothly recently, or if he was really happy for today.

Putting his hands on the belt around his waist, he said, "It may be so lively outside Yingtian Mansion today."

Hearing this, the prince Zhu Gaochi also answered happily: "Yes, fishes and dragons dance all night, and fire trees and silver flowers never go out at night. It's much more lively outside than here."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Well, when the canal is completed, there will be more exam candidates. When Tang Taizong held the imperial examination for the first time, he ran outside the venue to watch the candidates enter the arena, and said complacently, All the heroes of the world fall into my grasp."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di also smiled, and continued: "I feel the same as him. The paper this time is obviously much better than last year. This is also what the people want. In the future, I will be a prime minister and a university student in this subject." As a soldier, it is best to have a great talent in frontier management. This is "

Originally, he wanted to say that it was Zhu Zhanji's credit, but he looked at the empty seat, but shook his head and smiled.

Turning to the prince Zhu Gaochi, he said, "It's all thanks to that kid from your family."

Hearing this, the prince Zhu Gaochi also got up very gracefully, came to the front of the Longtai where the old man Zhu Di was, and said to the old man Zhu Di above: "That kid Zhu Zhanji can preside over the general election for the imperial court. This is a blessing from the emperor." Points, where does he have any credit."

"Think about the early years of Yongle, when the son-in-law presided over the imperial examination system, there were no people in the examination room."

The words of the prince Zhu Gaochi are very obvious. What he wants to say is that the number of talents in the imperial examination has nothing to do with the chief examiner, but is the result of his father's ability to govern the country.

But Zhu Di, the emperor, couldn't take over his own son's flattery in such a grand manner.

Then he looked at the officials present with a teasing look and said: "Most of the people sitting next to me were admitted in the early years of Yongle. You have overturned a whole boatload of people with this effort."

Hearing this, the prince Zhu Gaochi was also taken aback for a moment.

But the officials below suddenly roared with laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing, the old man Zhu Di on the dragon platform also laughed.

And after laughing, the prince Zhu Gaochi standing in the center of the field also clasped his hands to the old man on the dragon platform and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please the emperor's imperial pen to appoint the leader!"

Accompanied by the old man Zhu Di, he came to the side of Nalongtai, and after dipping some ink in Nadan red ink with a brush in his hand, he chose the person he liked in the imperial examination.

A moment later, it ended with the emperor's imperial pen hand-picking the head.

The selected list was quickly spread from the palace towards the capital.

At this time, in various places in the capital, in the inns run by various local governments, countless candidates are gathering in the courtyard, waiting for the final moment that everyone is looking forward to.

Following the list and the eunuchs who delivered the decree rushed to various places, bringing the top three of the high school to the palace.

On that banquet.

The eunuch shouted loudly: "Chuan, Xinke Scholars, Yu Qian, Cao Bin, and Yang Lun, come to see us at any time!"

Among the three, Cao Bin and Yang Lun came to the center of the arena in a respectful manner, and shouted to the emperor Zhu Di on the dragon platform: "Caomin, Yang Lun, Cao Bin, pay homage to the emperor!"

In the high-pitched voices of the two, there was a weak tone.

And after the three people knelt down on the ground, Zhu Di on the dragon platform also walked down slowly, and said while walking: "Let me see what the three Wenqu stars of this dynasty look like." .”

While speaking, he had already walked in front of the three of them.

And when Zhu Di walked in front of them, Cao Bin and Yang Lun straightened up very politely.

Only Yu Qian was still lying on the ground.

Looking at his drunken state and the smell of alcohol all over his body, Zhu Di didn't blame him, but asked with a smile, "How much wine have you drunk?"

"Oh, you want to be Li Taibai of this dynasty?"

So what is Li Taibai's life?In a word, the prince Zhu Gaochi who was following on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Zhu Di: "Back to the emperor, Yu Qian suddenly went to high school, or was drunk by his fellow countrymen, I don't know if the emperor summoned him."

But halfway through the conversation, Zhu Di interrupted.

"Don't talk, let him speak for himself."

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Yu Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have gained some sanity, but he still limply said: "If you go back to the emperor, I received a letter yesterday saying that my mother passed away. The student drank two liters of alcohol and still hasn't woken up. "

Seeing this was the reason, Zhu Di didn't want to pursue anything, but he still said: "My parents are dead, how can I drink alcohol?"

Yu Qian straightened his body reluctantly, and said: "The student was brought up by his widowed mother since he was a child, and he didn't have time to repay his kindness. He wanted to drink to death and failed his parents' kindness."

Hearing this, Zhu Di thought of his mother, so he stopped blaming him and said, "What a weird person. If that's the case, I don't blame you anymore. You take your hometown as the theme and write a five-character ancient style, or Homesickness, or nostalgia."

"Tonight, add to the fun!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Qian who was on the ground and asked, "Yu Qian, can you write poems?"

But Yu Qian replied: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the poems of grassroots people will not be suitable for the occasion."

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "But it's okay to say."

Hearing this, Zhu Di didn't care much, but Zhu Gaochi who was beside him felt faintly worried.

While the old man Zhu Di was not paying attention, he called a young eunuch from the side over, and whispered: "Go and get the eldest grandson back, and tell him that if he doesn't come back again, he won't know if he values ​​that person's life." Can you keep it?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly led the prince's order and headed out of the palace.

And Yu Qian in that scene also started to write a poem: "The village is very desolate."

"Drought locusts every year."

"The old man pays his debts."

"Children sell food."

"A house with broken walls."

"Liang Tuiyue fell into bed."

"I don't know the shepherds."

"Refused to report disaster injuries."

As soon as this poem came out, the words shocked everyone.

Although Zhu Di has experienced a lot in his life, he has seen all kinds of storms.

Since the battle of Jingnan, there have been countless slanders against him by scholars in this world.

Originally, it was impossible for Yu Qian's mere words to make him have the slightest ups and downs.

However, now he is before the hundred officials, and this person is the top three appointed by the imperial court.

But now something like this happened, and they didn't appreciate the choice of others.

Said that your imperial court 'didn't know that herdsmen refused to report disasters and injuries'.

This is a blatant insult to him, Zhu Di, and the entire court!
It's an insult trampled on your face!
Even if Zhu Di didn't care about it himself, no matter it was for his own face or the face of the court, he couldn't tolerate him!
As the old man Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy, the prince Zhu Gaochi in the audience seemed to realize something was wrong, so he hurried to Yu Qian, pointed at him and said, "Yu Qian! How dare you drink so much wine! That is Your Majesty is magnanimous and will not argue with you, there will be no next time!"

"Come on! Drag it out!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di on the dragon platform immediately said: "It's fine to call the thief bald in front of the monk. I am neither deaf nor stupid. Do you need me to make the decision?"

Just when the prince Zhu Gaochi below was a little flustered and didn't know how to respond.

After wandering around the city with Hu Shanxiang, after looking around, they saw that the time was about the same, and Zhu Zhanji, who was about to return at the end of the banquet, was also urged by the eunuch who happened to be there to inform him. .

Although there was still some distance from the venue of the banquet, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly shouted from a distance: "Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Huang!"

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's timely appearance, the prince Zhu Gaochi under the Dragon Stage heaved a long sigh of relief.

And Zhu Di, the old man on the Longtai, was also very clear about the purpose of his eldest grandson appearing at this time.

When Zhu Zhanji approached, Zhu Di on the dragon platform suddenly smiled and asked: "You, the chief examiner of the imperial examination, are not here to congratulate all the officials. Where did you go?"

Hearing what the old man Zhu Di said, Zhu Zhanji also smiled, and said: "Grandpa, there is the atmosphere in the palace, and the excitement in the city. Grandpa often said that he wants to have fun with the people, isn't it true for grandson?" Did you do what your grandfather said?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly smiled: "I've told you so much, do you just remember this sentence?"

After finishing speaking, he restrained the smile on his face, then pointed to Yu Qian beside Zhu Zhanji, and asked, "Is this person chosen by you?"

"what do you say?"

Zhu Zhanji glanced in the direction Zhu Di was pointing at, and saw that Yu Qian was so drunk with only a semblance of reason, and replied: "Grandpa, my grandson has heard about what happened just now. Grandpa, don't worry, just wait for grandson." Is it okay to ask Yu Qian a few words?"

In this regard, Zhu Di has nothing to do.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled and turned to look at Yu Qian who was on the ground, and then said: "Yu Qian, since you took the imperial examination, His Highness has always paid attention to you. Now you can stand out and rank among the top three in the imperial examination. It is very good."

"As for your poem just now, I also heard it. I heard the artistic conception in your sentence, but I am quite dissatisfied with the court?"

It was said that Yu Qian was not polite, it was the first time seeing the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him, not to mention, he dared to say it in front of the emperor, so why didn't he dare to say it now.

Dang even said: "I heard that the emperor is going to fight again, and the governments in all parts of the country are raising taxes, and the people are miserable!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled immediately.

"Where are the officials raising taxes? This time the emperor is in charge of the government, all the expenses have already been prepared, not to mention that the imperial court is implementing a new policy in southern Zhili. You Yu Qian, as a person from the south of the Yangtze River, should be clear. Taxes are paid according to the standard, and officials from all over the country have no right to increase taxes privately, and there is no such thing as the past, so why is there such a reason for increasing taxes?"

Zhu Zhanji's words made Yu Qian, who was determined to die, suddenly sober.

"It's a letter from home."

It didn't mean that Qian had finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji directly interrupted his words, and said: "The matter of the expedition in Beijing has been leaked in private, which has aroused the suspicion of officials from all over the country. , there should be no interception, and an order was issued to inform the whole of Nanzhili to remove the power of local governments to increase taxes. After the tax officials sent by the imperial court arrived in various places, they would personally increase the revenue. power."

"Do you know about this?"

Yu Qian has never heard of Zhu Zhanji's words and these things.

Because he went to Beijing to rush for the exam and had already left a month ago, he knew nothing about the affairs in his hometown.

Thinking that it might be because of this reason that his information lagged behind a lot, Yu Qian still insisted: "But my dynasty has repeatedly marched to the northern border, laboring and mobilizing people, and millions of troops eat and drink the blood and sweat of the people. Is there something wrong with this matter? "

Zhu Zhanji smiled contemptuously when he heard the words: "You Yu Qian only know that the millions of troops eat and drink the blood and sweat of the people, but you know that the millions of troops are fighting on the battlefield for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty who are behind them." Thousands of people?"

Yu Qian still retorted: "Northern Xinjiang used to be fine, and the imperial court took the initiative to send troops for several expeditions. Over the past ten years, how much the people of the world have paid for this. The military is not the way of the prosperous age. Today we only know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resisted the Xiongnu in the north. The prestige, but they don't know that behind it is the people of the world who have been eaten up by millions of troops."

In this regard, Zhu Zhanji smiled contemptuously: "Today, His Highness will temporarily ask you regardless of your identity, if you are in charge, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Yu Qian's tone was stagnant, but after thinking for a moment, he still said: "Shake hands with the border countries to make peace, lighten the corvee and reduce the tax, and rest with the people!"

Seeing that he finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji asked again: "That's all? Shake hands with the frontier states to make peace, lightly reduce the tax, and rest with the people? Do the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Rotten Confucianism!"

After scolding, he said: "Don't talk about the present, do you know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insisted on fighting against the Xiongnu with military force?"

"Do you know what the frontier geography was like during the Han Dynasty?"

"In the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were powerful, and the people in the grassland were tough. People who dismounted from their horses became cavalry when they mounted their horses."

"Grassland resources are scarce, and salt and iron are necessary things. There is no way to solve it except going south. Although there is the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty on the frontier of the Han Dynasty, there is no geographical advantage to fight against the Huns. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry, once they cross the Great Wall , It is a flat plain without any strategic depth. The Han Dynasty is always in danger of destroying the country. Even if it relies on the city-state to defend it, what about the people outside the city?"

"Make it a slave to thieves?"

"Besides, at present, you can still live by selling rations in the south of the Yangtze River. What about the people in the north? The people in the south are the people, but the people in the north are not the people? Raised by people. Lips are dead, fear that the teeth will not be cold?"

"According to the emperor's strategy, taking the land in the northern border, the entire hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will have a long strategic depth. What is the war fought? It is the strategic depth! Take the vast grassland as the depth, and the enemy will attack. There is also a huge territory that can be dealt with without hurting the people in the hinterland."

"This is the great plan of the country and the foundation of the country!"

"A mere rotten Confucian, dare to denounce the strategy of the court in public. Do you really think that you have read two books and written a few sour essays, and you can give advice to the world? You are still far behind!"

"Grain prices remained high throughout the Ming Dynasty. Do you know why? Do you know why the court built canals? The implementation of the new policy, do you know what it means for the Ming Dynasty and the people?"

"Books are a tool to help people see the world more clearly. They don't know the real politics at all, and they just plunge into the world of books. Their legs can't travel a hundred miles, but they open their mouths about the world and shut their mouths about the common people. Call you a rotten scholar. You are convincing!"

Zhu Zhanji's reprimand scolded Yu Qian bloody.

Yu Qian didn't know how to refute the depth of strategy he mentioned and the meaning of the new canal policy he asked.

He was immediately speechless when asked by Zhu Zhanji.

Especially that sentence, his legs can't travel a hundred miles, but he opens his mouth to the world, but shuts his mouth to the common people, which makes him unable to utter a word.

Looking at Yu Qian who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, dazed, Zhu Zhanji immediately raised his hand and said, "Come here! Bring a bucket of water!"

After a while, the eunuch came with a large bucket of well water.

Zhu Zhanji pointed at Yu Qian and said, "Pour!"

The eunuch didn't dare to delay for a moment, and the two carried the cold well water and poured it on Yu Qian's head.

A basin of ice water poured over his head, and Yu Qian instantly sobered up.

"Thinking of your ignorance, and your mother's first death, I left you with a dog's life."

"However, the fame will be exempted, and he will be assigned to the army as a former soldier. This time, he will go out with the army. Go to the battlefield and take a good look!"

"Come on! Drag it down and throw it into the army!"

Hearing this, the guards on both sides rushed forward and dragged Yu Qian down.

Zhu Di, who was standing on the dragon platform, watched his grandson's treatment of Yu Qian quietly from the beginning to the end, but didn't say a word.

Not to mention that he made the decision for himself.

Even looking at the behavior of his eldest grandson, he was quite appreciative.

The prince Zhu Gaochi who stood aside and watched all this.

I was very depressed.

After I said a few words, my father scolded me bloody.

My son was showing off in front of all the officials, but the old man didn't even fart, and was even quite happy.

Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh...

This person is different from other people...

And after dealing with Yu Qian.

The old man Zhu Di only said: "The disposal is over?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and when he was about to say something transgressive, the old man Zhu Di just smiled, interrupted what he was about to say, and then raised his hand.

As the eunuch handed over the wine glass, Zhu Di immediately smiled and said: "A little episode, don't spoil our interest, come, everyone, let's have a drink together!"

All the officials sitting down at the moment have watched the matter from beginning to end.

One by one they looked at each other.

While toasting to drink with the emperor Zhu Di, I was also filled with astonishment.

The emperor is too kind to this eldest grandson.

You can't even say yes, this is blatant connivance!

The prince did the same thing, and was scolded in a strange way.

But the eldest grandson did it, but he was quite appreciative.

If you don't know this, you may think that the eldest grandson is the prince.

Zhu Zhanji, who is envied by everyone at the moment, doesn't feel the slightest about it. After all, this kind of thing happened to him too much.

Not much emotion at all.

While the old man toasted with all the officials again, he quietly returned to his seat.

Today, in front of all the officials, Yu Qian lost face and even hurt his dignity.

It's really not that he doesn't know Yu Qian's name.

But today's Yu Qian has just passed the imperial examination and high school, and he still has a lot to go through.

Today's Yu Qian is still not the Yu Qian in history.

He can only be that Yu Qian if he has experienced many trials and tribulations in the middle.

Although he is aware of Yu Qian's ability, he can't do the thing of killing chickens to get eggs and pulling seedlings to encourage growth.

If it weren't for this, Zhu Zhanji wouldn't need to say so much today. There are countless ways to keep him alive.

Of course, in addition to protecting Yu Qian's intention, there is another layer of deep meaning.

Since Yu Qian is destined to be his courtier in the future, there must be a way to control the courtier.

Today, he was severely punished and even lost his fame.

It seems to do a lot of damage to it, but for the royal family, is a mere fame really worth half a dime?
What's more, he's already in high school, and it's not like he doesn't have high school.

Exempting fame and failing to obtain fame are completely different things.

From this moment on, Zhu Zhanji insisted on this matter until the end of the banquet, and then returned to the house with his father.

Early the next morning.

Yu Qian, who was thrown into the army, was taken to the palace by someone sent by Zhu Di.

Regarding the various behaviors of his grandson at the banquet yesterday, Zhu Di actually noticed them.

Seeing the appearance of his eldest grandson Yu Qian, Zhu Di was naturally happy.

After all, as the master in the future, such things will never be rare.

Zhu Di was happy to see him.

However, his old man was not confused.

He can also see clearly the intentions of his eldest grandson.

Coupled with the various wonderful actions of his grandson in the past, Zhu Di is also interested in Yu Qian.

He knows how lazy that kid Zhu Zhanji is.

Let alone a mere Jinshi, if he had nothing to do with him, he would not say a word even if he killed a few officials in the court.

But this kid said so much yesterday, and deliberately sent Yu Qian directly.

It seemed that he was dealing with Yu Qian, but he was actually afraid that he, the old man, would deal with him harshly.

Under such circumstances, he, Zhu Di, naturally wanted to see what kind of talent the person who could be so valued by that elder grandson had.

After Yu Qian was called to the palace, Zhu Di didn't even see him, so he ordered someone to throw a piece of paper and a small table over to test his talent.

Although Yu Qian was puzzled, after sleeping all night, he was completely sober, and he would not do that stupid thing again.

Then, according to the emperor's intention, he began to write seriously.

at the same time.

Zhu Zhanji, who woke up, ordered people to go to the barracks immediately.

Yu Qian brought it.

If yesterday's punishment was prestige, then today is to make it clear that this punishment is not a real punishment.
However, when Zhu Zhanji finished his daily health maintenance tasks, the person sent out replied that he was taken away by the old man.

Zhu Zhanji was startled when he heard this.

That riding horse is Yu Qian
Although the old man took him away, he didn't necessarily want to kill him, and he wouldn't kill him every other day with his temper, but Zhu Zhanji was still a little worried.

He hurriedly got up and headed towards the palace.

But when Zhu Zhanji came outside the Qianqing Palace, he was told by the gatekeeper Zhao Quan, Eunuch Zhao, that the old man was testing Yu Qian at the moment.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was relieved.

Since he was doing business inside, he stopped going in and waited outside.

After a while.

When the old man Zhu Di in the inner palace finished reading the velvet policy written by Yu Qian, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

After reading it, he stood up from the dragon chair in shock.

If the prince Zhu Gaochi was here at this moment and saw his father Zhu Di's appearance, he would immediately understand that this is the expression of the old man who wants to kill someone!

But fortunately, remembering that this person is a Jinshi in the imperial examination, the killing intent on his face subsided a lot.

However, Zhu Di did not order someone to call Yu Qian in immediately, but after careful consideration, he asked the eunuch at the door: "Is that kid Zhu Zhanji here?"

The little eunuch replied, "His Royal Highness will be here early this morning."

Seeing that it was so, Zhu Di immediately said: "Call me in."

When Zhu Zhanji came to the inner hall, he threw the velvet policy into Zhu Zhanji's hand and said, "Look for yourself."

Regarding these, Zhu Zhanji didn't even look at them. He only saw the velvet policy's head up, and he understood the contents.

He also understood the reason for the old man's expression at this moment.

Not only that, but he also took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Grandpa, is this man's grandson right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di laughed out loud.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji, he said, "You have a good eye!"

Zhu Zhanji is very clear about Yu Qian's ability.

But the old man didn't know. After regaining his senses, Zhu Di still sighed and said, "I never thought that at my age, I would get this person again!"

"It's a pity. It's a pity."

"If only ten years earlier."

Zhu Zhanji knew the reason for his grandfather's sigh.

If he could have gotten this person ten years earlier, why would the old man have to worry about things in northern Xinjiang.

From the old man's point of view, this Yu Qian is the one he has been wanting all along, the great talent who governs the border!

It's a pity
Goodness takes time to sharpen and grow.

He now
Still too tender.

Not only because of the content of this policy, but also because of Yu Qian's various actions yesterday.

Whether it is in the military or in the officialdom, if one is in charge of the government, it is necessary to do things seamlessly.

But this person is still very frivolous now, and he can't be of much use.

Otherwise, the old man doesn't have to go to the north to fight at such an age. If he leaves such a great man who ruled the border to his children and grandchildren, the northern border will be stable
Involuntarily, Zhu Di let out a long sigh, and said, "Forget it, grandpa is getting old, so I won't steal this man from you, let's leave it to you kid."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but envy Zhu Zhanji.

"Your life is really good!"

"Pick up everything off the shelf!"

In fact, I can't blame the old man Zhu Di for saying that.

Think about Zhu Di's life.

Something he didn't win by himself.

The world was brought down by himself again, and the throne was snatched by his own rebellion.

When scholars all over the world scoffed at him, the officials and ministers in the court were also cultivated by him little by little.

But what about this kid?
My father is the prince, and he is a person who can sit on the prince's position for decades without any problems.

All the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty belonged to his father.

And his grandfather was still the emperor.

All the land in the country was laid down for him.

Just sit back and enjoy the success.

Now that he doesn't do anything, the big talent on the side of the government comes to the door by himself again.

There are Na Sanyang and Xia Yuanji in the court.

Whether it is the government or the situation, it can help him firmly stabilize.

Now that Yu Qian has been trained for a few more years, everything in the north can be settled.

In addition, his grandfather paved the way for him, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is that book, which is the direct descendant promoted by the kid himself.

Then Guo Ji also became the governor of Nashuntian.

Now, there is only a lack of military power.
And the second child who holds military power still listens to this kid.

I just don't know if I can be obedient when it comes time to fight for the throne.
And this is also the reason why Zhu Di insisted on taking Zhu Zhanji with him on this expedition.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di didn't want to argue with him any more, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, take your precious bump and get out."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Grandpa is gone?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's gone, I'd better leave it to you to sell."

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly thanked the old man, then turned around and took Yu Qian towards the outside of the palace.

On the way Zhu Zhanji took Yu Qian away from Qianqing Palace, he happened to see his second uncle and third uncle coming together.

Zhu Zhanji naturally knew the purpose of their visit, so he asked with a smile on purpose: "Second uncle, nephew, let me tell you why you bother?"

The second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, who had screwed up by himself, was full of confusion. Hearing this, he even scolded: "Little bastard, didn't you say to help your second uncle? Where did this pleading go? In that coffin After sleeping all night, I was suffocated to death."

"Okay, second uncle, go quickly. The old man is waiting for you to plead guilty."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking nonsense and went towards the old man together with the youngest.

In the inner hall of Qianqing Palace.

The moment he saw the old man, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui knelt on the ground and said, "Your servant, please meet my father!"

After such a trouble in the middle, and the mood of talking with the eldest grandson just now, the old man Zhu Di gave the two brothers some leeway this time.

"Get up."

After the two got up, Zhu Gaoxu who was beside Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly pushed the second child Zhu Gaoxu with his arm.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu hurried forward to speak.

Although there was still some embarrassment on his face, he took the initiative to admit his mistake again and said: "Father, this time I know my mistake. When I was in the Shang study, my son was mad and insulted my father. Although my father gave me the coffin , but I know that my father is trying to teach my son a lesson, so I will repent a lot."

"Last night, Erchen lay in that coffin and thought about it all night, and now I understand the painstaking efforts of my father."

"Father, if you are going to go to war this time, you can't live without our two brothers. After returning from this expedition, our two brothers have also made up their minds, and we will go to the feudal clan according to Dad's wishes. We don't want the palace in the capital, and we don't want the military power. "

Hear the words spoken by the second child.

With his back to their bodies, Zhu Di finally turned around at this moment.

Although this son disobeyed him, he was his own son after all.

As a father, why would he want to force them to leave him and go to Yunnan to become a vassal.
