I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 322 The first rebellious son should be pressed into the urinal and drown!

At the end of December in the first year of Hongxi, Beiping, Shangshufang, Forbidden City.

Zhu Pangpang looked at the memorial in his hand, frowning tightly, without any relaxation.

This memorial was delivered last night. After reading it, he didn't sleep well last night, thinking about how to arrange this matter.

The old man had just handed over the country to him, but it turned out to be a good thing, and there were rebels below.

What does this mean?
Does this mean that Zhu Pangpang is incompetent and unable to manage this huge empire well.

Ever since he became the emperor, Zhu Pangpang gradually understood how the old man felt.

There is a great emperor like his grandfather in front of him, and his father, the Emperor Yongle who is destined to be famous in history, who has expanded the territory and expanded the territory. As the successor of the two, the pressure on Zhu Pangpang is really not ordinary.

Although his father told him that he is not expected to expand the territory, as long as he can hold the country and pass it on to the next generation safely.

But who wants to live a mediocre life, maybe when Zhu Pangpang was the prince, he didn't care about these things, but since he became the emperor, Zhu Pangpang didn't want to be shone by the light of his father's generation, so that he didn't even have a shadow.

He wants to radiate his light, he wants to radiate his heat, and he wants to leave his name in the history books.

I don't want future generations to know me like this in future history books.

This is the son of Emperor Yongle, the father of Emperor XX, an emperor whose name no one wants to mention.

When he wanted to introduce him to future generations, Zhu Di, the father of Emperor Hongxi, and Zhu Zhangui, the son of Emperor Hongxi.

In this way, he would not be in vain for a lifetime in this world, he would not be in vain for being an emperor once, and he would not be in vain for his ten years of being an unknown prince.

"The emperor, Mu Sheng, Yang Rong, and Yu Qian are waiting outside to be summoned."

Just when Zhu Pangpang was holding the memorial and frowning in thought, thinking whether the method he had come up with was suitable, the little eunuch who accompanied him since childhood walked in slowly and reported that the person he wanted to summon was already waiting outside.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Pangpang said hastily. "It's cold, let them come in quickly, don't freeze!"

"Your Majesty Yang Rong, Mu Sheng, and Yu Qian are meeting Your Majesty!"

The three of them, dressed in two red and one blue official uniforms, walked in coldly and saluted Zhu Pangpang.

"Get up, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite."

Smiling and waving for the three of them to get up, Zhu Pangpang called the personal eunuch to serve hot soup, then picked up the memorial he had just read on the table, and led the three of them to the parlor of the next room.

Zhu Pangpang is an easy-going person without such big rules. Similarly, he also respects his courtiers very much. When he summons his ministers like other emperors, he does not sit high and show his status and majesty.

Although he was often complained by his father and son when he did this, he didn't take it seriously, anyway, he did it anyway.

Even later, the people in the palace were asked to prepare a living room in the room next to the Shang's study.

This living room is covered with high-quality Persian carpets, and there is a top-quality leather sofa delivered from the chamber of commerce. There is a large fireplace next to the wall, and a raging flame is burning behind the fire-resistant glass, warming the living room. the whole house.

"No outsiders, let's do it all. Ginseng soup is always hot in the small kitchen at the back. It's cold today, so you should drink some to warm your body."

When they came to the living room, Zhu Pangpang warmly invited the three of them to sit down.

Although Zhu Pangpang didn't care about those empty etiquettes, Yu Qian and the three of them didn't take it seriously because of the difference in dignity. After handing over their hands and thanking each other, the three found a seat and sat down after Zhu Pangpang sat down on the single sofa.

"This is the memorial sent by Jiaozhi yesterday. I thought about it all night last night and got some ideas, but I still want to hear your thoughts and see if there is a better solution."

Putting the memorial in his hand on the glass coffee table, Zhu Pangpang imitated his father and folded his hands in his sleeves, watching the three of them talk about the memorial.

"What about the three of you, one has participated in the Cochin War, one has served as a governor in a nearby province, and the other is an important minister in the court, let's see how to deal with this matter."

The three of them looked at each other when they heard the words, and finally, under the humility of Yang Rong and Mu Sheng, Yu Qian, who had just returned from the Western Regions at the beginning of the year, picked up the memorial.

Yu Qian is less than 30 this year. To be honest, at his age, it is still rare for him to be the minister of the Ministry of War and rank in the middle of the court.

When Yu Qian took over as Minister of the Ministry of War at the beginning of the year, there were actually a lot of gossip.

It is said that Yu Qian was able to be promoted so quickly because of his cousin's relationship. Without his cousin blowing the pillow wind in Zhu Zhangui's ear, even if Yu Qian is talented, he would not be able to climb to this position now.

Yu Qian didn't care at all about the following rumors.

Whether he relied on his cousin's relationship, he knew best in his heart.

He is now able to get into this position at this age. Apart from his personal ability, the most important thing is that he is the same person as Zhu Zhangui, both of whom care about the people of the world.

It is precisely because the two have a common topic, coupled with his own talent and ability to handle affairs, as well as the credits gained from fighting on the battlefield many times, that he got his current position.

Of course, Yu Qian can't deny that his ability to climb so fast has something to do with his cousin and his nephew named Zhu Qizhen, but only he knows how big the ratio is.

The memorial was written by Ma Qi, the eunuch of the Jiaozhi Supervising Army. It stated that Li Li, the leader of the Annan rebel army, has been making troubles in the past two years.

He and Huang Fu, the garrison general, have encircled and suppressed the rebels many times this year, but they have all returned without success. They even suffered a lot of casualties.

But the rebel army was not wiped out, but with the continuous increase of the victorious force, the rebel army now has nearly 10 people, which has threatened the dominance of Ming Dynasty in Jiaozhi.

In the end, Ma Qi requested in the memorial that the imperial court distribute new weapons to the Jiaozhi garrison army as soon as possible, so that they can wipe out the local rebellion as soon as possible, and restore Jiaozhi to its former well-being and stability.

"This Maggie?"

Looking at the signature on the memorial, Yu Qian frowned slightly. It can be seen from the expression on his face that he didn't have a good impression of this person.

Mu Sheng next to him noticed Yu Qian's expression and didn't say anything, but a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Mu Sheng's disdain was not aimed at Yu Qian. When Yu Qian was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, he had contact with Yu Qian and knew that he was a capable person. nephew relationship

His disdain just now was aimed at that eunuch Ma Qi.

Relying on Zhu Di's trust in him, this guy ran amok in Jiaozhi, such as taking bribes, oppressing good people, occupying good land, buying and selling by force, and doing countless evil things.

Those people in Jiaozhi who were concerned about Daming were forced by this guy's series of methods, and their goodwill was completely gone. Now in Jiaozhi, Daming is synonymous with evil and greed.

Even when ordinary women scare their children, they will call out that the Ming people are coming, and those children will shrink into their mother's arms in fear when they hear this shout.

It can be seen from this that Ma Qi has such a bad influence on Daming.

It can even be said that this guy is responsible for at least 9% of the reason why cochinism has rotted like this. As for who is responsible for the remaining [-]%, Mu Sheng dare not say. Sometimes he dare not even think about it. .

When worshiping the ancestors the year before last, Mu Sheng mentioned this matter to Zhu Zhangui, and named Jiaozhi as a possible rebellion. He hoped that the court would send him more new weapons so that he could take them back and prepare for them.

As a result, after he came, he didn't go back. He was taken to Beiping by the old man, and he made a home for him, and even the people from his hometown took him over.

The current him is just a idle job as a military servant in the court, and he usually goes to the military department to check in. Anyway, the people in the military department did not give him any errands, so he just went out to take a walk to receive his salary.

The Mu family has fallen to this point, and Mu Sheng understands in his heart that this is the old man trying to deprive them of the power of the Mu family.

But what can I do if I know?
Thinking of the millions of troops at the military parade, the mighty and domineering cannons, the majestic cavalry regiment, and the gigantic giant in the sky that made him tremble when he appeared at the end, made him feel a little unconvinced. The small flame is completely extinguished.

The strength is not as good as others, so you can't accept it!
Although he was confiscated, Mu Sheng thought, with his reminder, the imperial court would definitely pay attention to cochin.

But what puzzled him was that the imperial court didn't care about Cochin at all, and the old man didn't send troops to guard at all, and didn't even ask.

Mu Sheng even said that at the beginning of last year, the old man issued a letter of commendation to Ma Qi, praising him for being in Cochin, doing a good job there, and stabilizing the majesty of the court.

Mu Sheng just kept silent about this, he said everything that should be said, he did everything that should be done, the choice of the court has nothing to do with him, besides, he is just an idle servant of the Ministry of War, and the things in the south have nothing to do with him .

In fact, Mu Sheng didn't know that at the beginning, the old man planned to send a general to lead the army, and by the way, press Ma Qi's bastard back for trial, but Zhu Zhangui stopped him later.

In Zhu Zhangui's words, although Jiaozhi has been the territory of Yanhuang since ancient times, it was separated for hundreds of years during the Yuan and Song Dynasties.

A hundred years, that's how many generations, coupled with their own independence, their thinking has already changed, they no longer have the memory of Yan Huang in their bones, only their own country, their own race.

It is very difficult to subdue this kind of region that already has a national concept. Even if some people care about Ming Dynasty, it will not be of much use. Once there is a twists and turns in the future, it is likely to be lost again. It will be even more difficult to pull it back.

Cochin for so long, why has it been making trouble?
Is it really a rebellion by the local people?

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe this.

Without the support of those gentry and aristocrats, it's a lie to be able to entangle with the powerful Ming for so long with those mud legs who don't know how to read.

The reason why those gentry opposed Daming was also very simple.

Before the Ming Dynasty came, they were the kings of this territory, and the nobles of this territory held the power of life and death of the people at the bottom.

But now that Daming came, not only did their status plummet, but even the things they did before were banned.

From simplicity to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult.

I have enjoyed a life of superiority and no one to control, who would like to be controlled by others, a miserable life.

But Daming and the others didn't dare to object, fearing that they would lose their lives because of this, and they wouldn't even be able to enjoy their current life.

So they secretly supported those rebels, hoping that these rebels would drive away Daming, and when they won in the future, they would stand up as supporters, return to the high position, continue to be a blessing, and enjoy a beautiful life.

Knowing the thoughts of those people in Jiaozhi, coupled with the disgusting operations of those monkeys in later generations, Zhu Zhangui didn't want to admit these guys as his own, and he didn't want to bring these disgusting guys into his big family and tarnish the greatness of Yanhuang blood and spiritual heritage.

Therefore, the solution given by Zhu Zhangui for this kind of rebellious, already disobedient and difficult to manage rebellious son is to drown in the urinal directly.

However, Daming was the kingdom of heaven, and Jiaozhi had been attached to Daming in name, so it was impossible for Daming to send troops to drive away or use other means to deal with the people and gentry of Jiaozhi for no reason.

So at this time, someone who is as scapegoat as Qin Hui is needed to appear, and Zhu Zhangui's choice of this person is Ma Qi.

Ma Qi, Jinyiwei and Yueyingwei have already investigated and found out that he is a rat and a scourge. A selfish stinky rat who destroys the interests of the country like this is the lightest punishment.

So even if the old man and Zhu Zhangui knew what this guy had done in Jiaozhi, they chose to turn a blind eye and even ordered to praise him.

The purpose is to let this guy force the entire Jiaozhi, and then the imperial court will completely wipe out this place, and then relocate the local people of the Ming Dynasty, and make this site a permanent income.

"Do you have any idea?"

After Yu Qian read the memorial and Yang Rong took it, Zhu Pangpang asked the slightly frowning Yu Qian, wanting to hear his thoughts as Minister of the Ministry of War.

"This place has been away from Yanhuang for hundreds of years, and the concept of Yanhuang has disappeared in my beliefs. Coupled with the misconduct of local officials, it is normal for this kind of thing to happen."

Yu Qian opened his mouth and said the reason for this situation in Jiaozhi. He knew the situation in the area of ​​Jiaozhi when he was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Later, when I met Zhu Zhangui, I told him about it, but Zhu Zhangui just smiled and said that everything was under control, and then stopped talking.

Yu Qian, who was very familiar with Zhu Zhangui, knew that Zhu Zhangui might have his own plans, and he had just taken office in the Western Regions and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't care about this matter anymore.

I heard about Jiaozhi again, when Zhu Pangpang said it just now.

For Yu Qian's answer, Zhu Pangpang agreed with satisfaction, and at the same time he felt that he was worthy of being the capable person his son liked, and he just said the main points.

"Then what do you think, have you decided to fight?"

Zhu Pangpang then asked.

Yu Qian pondered for a while, first nodded, then shook his head.

"After all, they have my Yanhuang blood, but they are a little rebellious. The idea of ​​the minister is to defeat them first, and then deal with the corrupt officials in the cholera area to appease the local people, and then give preferential treatment in policies, so that this place can be completely taken over."

Zhu Pangpang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words. Yu Qian's thoughts were similar to his own. When he received the memorial last night, he had some thoughts on how to deal with it.

The only thing that confuses him is whether to start the fight or not.

After all, the relationship between the two clans is not good. If there is another war and large-scale deaths, I am afraid that the relationship between the two parties will not be closed, but the hatred will become deeper and deeper, which will not be in the interest of the court.

"The minister disagrees. If we do this, what will the other people think? In this way, once their life is not good, they will rebel and want to use this method to obtain the benefits they have. If it lasts for a long time, the court will still It's not a mess anymore."

Mu Sheng objected and expressed his concerns.

Yang Rong, who was reading the memorial, also nodded slightly in agreement.

"What Mu Guogong said is true. Once this matter gets started, it will be difficult to stop it in the future. We need to be more cautious."

Since Yang Shiqi was transferred away, the remaining two Yangs have also kept a low profile. They can't speak up on many things if they can't speak up.

That prince is a really ruthless person. Yang Shiqi is a veteran of the East Palace. He has worked hard for the country for most of his life. He was replaced as soon as he said he was replaced. One can imagine the influence of the newly appointed prince on the court. How big it is, how much influence it has on the emperor.

If the two of them don't want to be dispatched overseas for retirement like Yang Shiqi in the future, then they have to do everything well and try not to be picked on by the new crown prince and kicked away.

"Then according to the two of you, we will send a large army to conquer and punish them severely."

The two raised objections, but Yu Qian didn't care. Everyone has their own ideas. This is the court, not his one-word court. It is normal for someone to put forward different opinions.

Mu Sheng and Yang Rong looked at each other, Mu Sheng didn't say anything, after all he had already said this before, and the court didn't take action, so he must have his own ideas.

Yang Rong pondered for a while, and looked at Zhu Pangpang.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the meaning of the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince? If I remember correctly, they should be in the South China Sea. They should know what happened in Jiaozhi."

Zhu Pangpang shook his head, "The messenger who came reported, because he was not sure where the old man and my son were, and because the matter was urgent, he sent the news directly to us."

To be honest, it was really difficult for Zhu Pangpang to make a decision on whether to go to war or not. After all, in his mind, any war would only happen if politics could not be resolved.

Regarding the matter of cochin, in fact, his initial idea was to send someone to negotiate a peace first, and then fight again if there is no agreement.

But then he thought about his old man and his son, if he did it according to this method, with the quick temper of his two ancestors, he would definitely blame him afterwards.

It is precisely because of these reasons that on the second day of his ascension to the throne, he divided the work with his son, and he only dealt with the internal affairs of the country and was responsible for the logistics and supply of the army.

The matter of fighting, or who to fight against, is decided by Zhu Zhangui, and he, the emperor, does not get involved.

In fact, sometimes Zhu Pangpang felt that he was quite aggrieved as an emperor at the time, afraid of his father and his son, and he was not like an emperor should be at all.

"Okay, don't keep your secrets anymore, let's all talk about your methods, and finally we will discuss and discuss whose method we should adopt."

The four people had hundreds of thoughts, Zhu Pangpang didn't bother to chat with the three of them, and directly ordered the three of them to come up with a solution in the tone of an emperor.

The three looked at each other without any hesitation, and said in unison: "Hit!"

Zhu Pangpang looked up at the three of them. He didn't expect that the three of them had different ideas, but they made such a unified decision in the end.

"What's the reason!"

Yu Qian was the first to answer.

"It's very simple. Cochin is like a wild dog that has gone crazy in the wild for a long time. Although it has been brought home by us now, it is hard to control the wildness. If you want it to be obedient and take care of the house, you must first kill it. Conquer them, let them know what to do and what not to do. As for whether to give bones after being obedient, or directly kill and skin them to eat, it all depends on their later performance and our mood."

After Yu Qian finished speaking, Mu Sheng also nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, I have been in contact with the people over there more than once, and many people don't even have the idea that they are Ming people. Our Ming Dynasty treats us as invaders and enemies, just like we did when we faced Meng Yuan."

"Among the officials, gentry and aristocrats, this kind of concept is the most important. Most of them seem to belong to us, but in fact they have been supporting the rebels behind their backs. Otherwise, with the strength of the local garrison, it would have been a long time since the few thousands of thieves were sentenced. After being wiped out, it is impossible to be rampant for so long."

"It's also for this reason that I suggest that you sort out all the upper echelons, deal with those who are disobedient or who have different ideas, and leave those who are vacillating towards Daming, and then slowly adjust them."

"When the Cochin War is over, we can still film some people in Yunnan and Guizhou, and slowly influence them with our people's thoughts, so that they can unite closely with us again."

After Mu Sheng finished speaking, Zhu Pangpang looked at Yang Rong.

"The meaning expressed by Mu Guogong and Yu Shangshu is exactly the same as the minister's thoughts. I have nothing to add to this. I can only tell the emperor that people who are not of my race must have different hearts. If they want complete stability in the world, the best A good way is to turn these alien races into our own people."

"Based on my belief that the people of the Ming Dynasty will unite the world, no matter what happens in the future, as long as these people become our own, we don't have to worry about this land being separated from us."

Three people were asked to come and all agreed to start the fight, and the entanglement in Zhu Pangpang's heart was completely erased.

"Oh!"

Fat hand slapped the table, Zhu Pangpang stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, if that's the case, let's hit."
