My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 11 The Emperor's Ambition
Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji took the lead, and the civil officials followed, but the generals could not remain silent. Zhu Neng took a step forward and shouted, "My emperor is holy." Follow the whoop.

It's just that the anger in my heart is also surging wildly.

Xu Jingchang, you little bastard, our account is written down.

Regardless of your strong background, but you are a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid, sooner or later I will find an opportunity to make you unlucky!
Qiu Fu held back his anger and wanted to trouble Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Di was no longer interested in entanglement in this matter. At this moment, he was in a state of extreme excitement, as if he had found a new goal in life.

In the past four years, Zhu Di used a corner of Beiping to fight against Jianwen's million-strong army, and finally succeeded in calming the situation and boarded the Dragon Throne.During this time, all he thought about was how to survive and how to defeat the enemy.

Victory or death, there is no third way!

Fortunately, he finally won and sat on the dragon chair smoothly.

But so many courtiers opposed him, especially the matter of the reign of Yongle, which made Zhu Di realize that there is still a long, long distance between him and the world.

The matter of the year name became a thorn in Zhu Di's heart.

Although he didn't make an order to change it, it was like a thorn in his throat and a thorn in his back.He urgently needs to prove to the world that he, Zhu Di, is the best emperor, and he must do something big, surpass his father's achievements, and push the Ming Dynasty to a new level...

Zhu Di only felt a flame burning in his heart.

Heroic ambition, imperial ambition.

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more excited he became, he turned his head suddenly, "Zhu Gaoxu."

"My son is here." Zhu Gaoxu quickly bowed and agreed.

"Stay here and appease Duoyan Sanwei's general and soldier Ding. Don't fight, let alone disturb the peace of the people, or you will be severely punished."

Zhu Gaoxu obediently agreed, "Father, please rest assured."

Zhu Di nodded, and then said to the civil and military officials: "You all follow me back to the palace to discuss important matters."

All the ministers followed Zhu Di back to the palace, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also rode their horses, and they followed Xu Jingchang. The chubby Xia Yuanji squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Xu Tongzheng is really eloquent and quick thinking. You are so tall! On the other hand, His Majesty is really moved by talking about it, he is really a young hero!"

Jian Yi also laughed and said: "Indeed, although Duke Qi is a military general, he wants to calm things down, which is far inferior to Xu Tongzheng's courage, good, really good!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, disapproving of the two important officials recommended by his father.

Do you think I don't understand?You two didn't come to flatter me because of my father's support.He clearly saw my ability, and felt that he could pull me to deal with Jing Nan's upstart and help you maintain the situation.

But you two better not dream, I won't be your gunman!

"Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu, I won't talk about other things. Your Majesty is now very ambitious, saying that he won't lose an inch of land, but he actually intends to expand the territory and establish unprecedented achievements."

The two were startled, yes, it is indeed the truth.

Xu Jingchang laughed again: "The Son of Heaven has ambitions, and all the officials work hard. It will be hard for you two, especially you two, you need to employ people to do big things, and you need to spend money to do big things. One of you is in charge of the official hat, and the other Take care of the money bag. If the recommended person is wrong, or if the money is not available, I think you may not be able to bear the wrath of the thunder."

The two people were startled when they heard this, and their expressions changed suddenly.

That's the case, and they are the ones who will be unlucky next.

Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi looked at each other, and they both caught an emotion called ambition from each other's eyes.Both of them are also promoted by Zhu Di, so they took their current positions.

Zhu Di wants to accomplish a lot, why don't they want to prove themselves to the world?
It is the highest honor for a civil servant to assist a virtuous monarch and create a prosperous world, even if it is a little tired and bitter, he will not hesitate.

Who doesn't want to fight for a name in history!
Someone like Xu Jingchang, who only wants to go fishing, listen to music and watch the stars, can't understand the state of these two.Now he is only worried about what kind of moth Zhu Di will make. Will the work tasks of himself as the envoy increase?
If you are too tired, find a way to resign, or ask your aunt for help if you can't, she doesn't want the only seedling left in the Xu family to wither early.

After thinking about it, they had already returned to the palace. After the emperor and ministers greeted each other, Zhu Di smiled all over his face, and his eyes fell on Xu Jingchang.

"Xu Tongzheng, what you said just now, can you explain it more carefully so that the big guys can understand it better."

Xu Jingchang had no choice but to stand up, "Returning to Your Majesty, what I mean by the minister is how to evaluate the prosperity and decline of a country. Is it purely peaceful? As the monarch of a country, what should we stick to... For example, the ancestral territory, This is left by the ancestors to future generations. The common people know that it is not good to be a prodigal son. As an emperor, you should not easily abandon the land and the ancestral foundation. If someone dares to invade the Ming Dynasty and covet the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they must fight back resolutely. Painful, brutal, and brutal. We must learn from the courage and blood of the Han and Tang Dynasties in destroying the Huns and the Turks, but not the compromises of the Song and Song Dynasties against the Khitan, Jin, and Mongolia."

"well said!"

Zhu Di couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing loudly, "It's very good. Emperor Taizu got up from the common people, drove north to the Great Yuan, and founded the magnificent Ming Dynasty. Under three generations, there is no such thing as a Ming Dynasty. I will inherit the Datong now. , I should work hard and do my best to brighten my father's foundation. Not only must I guard the country, but also expand the territory and achieve the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. This is the duty given to me by the heavens. You must be determined, and only die!"

It's over!

Xu Jingchang's eyes darkened. Is Zhu Di about to enter the state of being stunned by war?
Go crazy yourself, don't take me with you.

It's a pity, Zhu Di's blood is boiling with enthusiasm because of you, can Zhu Di let you go?

"Xu Tongzheng, what do you think I should do? Do you have any proper suggestions?"

Xu Jingchang was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... I think it is good to rule by doing nothing."

"What did you say?" Zhu Di was suddenly furious. You have already made your words so clear, why are you still doing nothing?You want to bully me to death?

"That... actively working hard, very courageously... doing nothing."

Zhu Di stared round his eyes and was about to get angry.

At this time, Jian Yi hurriedly stood up, "Qizou Your Majesty, I think Xu Tongzheng's words are not unreasonable. We have just experienced war, people's livelihood is declining, the treasury is empty, and we urgently need to restore people's strength. At this time, we really need to recuperate, maybe for three years, or After five years, wait until the national strength is restored before we can flex our muscles and make a difference."

Xia Yuanji also immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. Take the matter of Daning Dusi as an example. It is true that the imperial court is unable to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers and has to move in temporarily. As the minister of the household department, you can Here is a military order to His Majesty, within three years, the people's livelihood will be restored and the treasury will be filled. There will be enough soldiers and food. If I don't have this ability, I ask Your Majesty to cut off my head as a warning to others."

Hearing this, Zhu Di finally showed a satisfied smile, and snorted at Xu Jingchang again, "You mean that too?"

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Yes, that's what it means. I'm not as capable and honest as the two ministers."

Zhu Di laughed again, "If you're not capable and honest enough, then learn it. You're still young and have a lot of time."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di stood up, walked among civil and military ministers, and said loudly: "There are a few important things to do next, and I want to arrange them; one is that in the past four years, Jianwen was young and stupid, deceived by traitors, and changed his mind. The old system of Taizu must be restored as soon as possible, and the villains must be eradicated. Shandong, Beiping, and Nanzhili have suffered military disasters in many places, especially Shandong, which has suffered heavy losses. We must restore people's livelihood as soon as possible and arrest bandits. The Ministry of Officials needs to select suitable officials to go on, and the Ministry of Households also needs to reduce or exempt taxes as appropriate."

The two ministers immediately agreed, "I will obey the order."

"Also, Jianwen has recruited millions of soldiers. Now we need to rectify immediately, weed out the old and the weak, and leave the young and strong. Strict training, no slack. If anyone thinks that Jing is difficult to succeed, he can enjoy the glory and wealth, pamper the generals under his command, and corrupt the law of the country. , bully the common people, I will punish them severely, and will never tolerate it."

Zhu Di glanced at the ministers present, and said sharply: "I have said so much, in conclusion, I want you to perform your duties, and everyone should be busy, don't think about fishing and listening to music, and play with things to lose your mind."

When he said the last sentence, Zhu Di stared fiercely at Xu Jingchang...
