My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 13 A Gift for Zhu Gaochi

Hearing Qiu Fu say that military discipline is strict, even Zhu Di wanted to laugh.

I'm not Zhu Yunqi, the baby who grew up in the deep palace, charged into the battle, I am only a lot more than you, Qiu Fu, and I know very well what is going on in the army.

Although Zhu Di tried his best to restrain his subordinates, he was not allowed to disturb the people, he was not allowed to burn, kill and loot, but his soldiers and horses were not the Yue family army after all. They fought hard for four years, holding their heads up and desperately.
Moreover, Zhu Di also had many Mongolian cavalrymen who were from the Duoyan Sanwei, and their discipline was even more difficult to describe.

So after seeing these memorials, Zhu Di probably believed them.

But Qiu Fu refused to admit it.

"Your Majesty, Sheng Yong, the defeated general, was unwilling to surrender when he first surrendered. Now he has different ambitions and intends to rebel. I think he should be sent to death row immediately. Check it out and see how many accomplices he still has." , must be wiped out!" Qiu Fu said again: "Your Majesty, I recommend the censor Chen Ying. This person is shrewd, capable, and loyal. He will definitely be able to investigate this case."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Go and call Xu Jingchang, the envoy in charge."

Not long after, Xu Jingchang was staggering and breathing heavily, Zhu Di glanced at him and felt annoyed.

"What's the matter with you? I've said it all, you have to be loyal to your duty, why are you so sluggish?"

Xu Jingchang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. Now that the General Secretary is short of many officials, and there are so many memorials and inscriptions in various places, I need to sort them out before sending them to the palace. I am so busy that I can't eat them." Don't sleep, this official is too tired."

Only then did Zhu Di take a deep breath, "It's not easy for you, I asked you in the memo, impeaching generals, arresting women and entering the barracks, what do you think?"

"Misunderstanding! Absolutely misunderstanding!" Xu Jingchang immediately denied it, "I heard that the soldiers are loyal and conscientious, and they will definitely not do such a thing. Someone must be dissatisfied and slander. I am too busy and neglect to investigate. Please punish me .”

As soon as these words came out, let alone Zhu Di, even Qiu Fu was stunned.Could it be that I misunderstood?Isn't this kid that bad?
Zhu Di pondered for a while, and suddenly became furious, "Your negligence for a while, and the memorandum was handed over, can you turn a blind eye and listen to it? This matter must be investigated to the end, and Zheng Ci, the official secretary of the Ministry of punishment, and Chen Ying, the imperial censor, and Wu Zhong, the minister of Dali Temple, must be investigated. , The three courts tried the case publicly and found out the right and wrong. Qi Guogong, don't worry, if there is any grievance, I will let the soldiers decide. As for the general governor Xu Jingchang, it was clearly a case that should be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it was sent to the palace , you were negligent, and you will be exempted from your salary for three months, step down!"

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened. He was already tired from work, and he didn't pay wages. What do you use as a fool?

"Your Majesty, I want to sue for illness, and I want to rest for three months..."

Before Xu Jingchang finished speaking, Zhu Di's eyes widened with anger, he grabbed the inkstone and was about to throw it at him.

That's a good Duan inkstone, a big stone, if it hits the head, peach blossoms will definitely bloom.Xu Jingchang didn't dare to say much, so he could only run away and escape from the place of right and wrong.

As soon as he left, Qiu Fu was dumbfounded and could only retreat.

The two of them went down, most of the anger on Zhu Di's face dissipated, and an old monk came out from the side hall, it was Yao Guangxiao.

"Your Majesty's joint trial by the three judges is really clever." Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Things in this world, if you don't put it on the scale, there is no three or two weights. If you put it on the scale, you can't weigh a thousand catties!"

Zhu Di rubbed his temples, and said helplessly, "Master, this is the secret report that Ji Gang handed me."

With that said, Zhu Di took out a thick stack and placed it in front of Yao Guangxiao.

The old monk didn't say much, he knew it well.

"Your Majesty relies on them to succeed. You must not neglect these meritorious soldiers. Jin Yiwei is a good sword, but you can't abuse it. But this Young Marquis, he is clever and has a bright future. Arm femur."

Zhu Di snorted, "He was clamoring to ask for sick leave just now! This kid is lazy and cunning, far less pure and reliable than his father. Master, you should keep an eye on him for me."

Zhu Di thought for a while, then stood up again, picked up a golden ruyi from the table next to him, and handed it to Yao Guangxiao.

"I gave it to that kid, young master, please work hard for me!"

Yao Guangxiao took over the exquisite workmanship, which weighed two or three catties, with a smile on his face, let alone three months' salary, it was worth three years' salary.

This kid Xu Jingchang really had good luck and took advantage of it.

The old monk left, and came to Xu's house again in a carriage.

As soon as he came in, he found that Xu's family members were busy. When he arrived at Xu Jingchang's residence, a strong smell of medicine came out.Xu Jingchang was covered with a quilt, his forehead was covered with a towel, and he coughed in a low voice from time to time.

"Young master is here... Sorry Wansheng is sick, so I can't salute you."

Yao Guangxiao's face collapsed immediately, and he coughed lightly, "Xu Tongzheng, your illness came on so quickly!"

Xu Jingchang said solemnly: "That's right, the old man often said that illness comes like a mountain, and a mountain collapses, and no one can hold it. Illness goes like spinning, and it's not sure when it will be cured! How about you help me?" Take sick leave."

Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth, he suddenly felt that Zhu Di was being polite when he said that Xu Jingchang was tired, lazy and cunning, he was a scoundrel!
"Xu Tongzheng, not all diseases are intractable, and this old man has a good prescription here."

Saying that, Yao Guangxiao sat on the head of the bed, sticking out the golden ruyi from his sleeve.

"Look, how about this medicine?"

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened, and he swallowed subconsciously, "Is this real gold?"

The old monk said: "It's not only real gold, but also the craftsmanship in the palace. Your Majesty asked the old monk to give it to you. It will supplement your three-month salary. Is it enough?"

Xu Jingchang's heart was pounding, he remembered that in his previous life he went to see Emperor Wanli's gold-threaded coiled dragon-winged crown, it was called an ingenious workmanship, and the craftsmanship of the goldsmiths of the Ming Dynasty was absolutely amazing.

The Ruyi in front of me is also hollowed out with gold threads, extremely exquisite, and can definitely be a family heirloom.

Xu Jingchang subconsciously said, "Is this for me?"

"That's right, His Majesty rewarded you."

Xu Jingchang sat up hurriedly, regardless of being sick, he reached out to take it.

Yao Guangxiao had a smile on his face, this kid is not only a rascal, he also loves money.

It's just that when Xu Jingchang's hand was about to touch Ruyi, he suddenly retracted.

Then Xu Jingchang looked up at the top of his head, let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "Congratulations, you are finally not knocked down by money!"

After saying that, Xu Jingchang lay straight on the bed, "I can't do it, I'm getting sicker, please ask Master to go back."

Yao Guangxiao's nose is crooked with anger, you have the face to say that you are not knocked down by money, you think you have too little money!

"Young Marquis, you know the old monk's tricks, I advise you, don't toast or eat fine wine."

Xu Jingchang's body shook slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Young Master, you must be kind in your life and actions. Now I have been pushed by Your Majesty and you to fight against the upstart Jing Nan headed by Qiu Fu. This job is no less than that before the battle. Charge, go through life and death, just reward me with a wishful handle, the price is too low!"

Yao Guangxiao looked serious, "Then what do you want?"

"I want a helper, someone who can carry things with me."

Yao Guangxiao smiled, "Young Marquis, look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who has a stronger foundation than you? Who can carry it with you?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Master Yao is good...but don't worry, I didn't want you to help me this time."

Yao Guangxiao was taken aback, "Then who else?"

"Of course it's my big cousin."

"It's the First Prince!" Yao Guangxiao was taken aback again, because when Empress Xu met him a few days ago, she mentioned that he should be the teacher of the First Prince.

To put it bluntly, it is to use Yao Guangxiao's ability to protect Zhu Gaochi.

Now Xu Jingchang brought it up again, which aroused Yao Guangxiao's interest, "How did you plan?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "No matter what the result is, we must get Sheng Yong under the command of the big cousin. In this way, they will have shelter, and the big cousin will also have a foundation in the army, so he doesn't have to be bullied by the King of Han everywhere, less What do you think the teacher thinks?"
