Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 712: The emperor gives advice on the couch and the prince wanders around after the Jiangshan Palace Examination

It is now the eighth year of Jingtai, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen's butts are almost wiped clean.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu became more and more inclined to stupid methods in war.Just use the advantageous national power to spend hard money and no longer use tactical tricks.

Lin Xiangyu, who was held in Zhu Qiyu's arms and held up his hands, was quite puzzled: "Husband, is this battle against Japan a little too much?"

"What, what, what?"

"How should I put it? It's a bit rough. It's not like my husband's previous style."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, this is called style switching. Taking risks when you are weak and seeking stability when you are strong is the right way.

For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan both died, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi moved all the way to Wuhuan.Cao Cao thought about it and just ran away.

It was Guo Jia who insisted on seeking stability, which made Cao Jun act like a mad dog. He had to pounce on the Yuan family and completely bite them to death.

This is a strategic change, but the new strategy is not elegant at all.As a result, Guo Jia died on the road, and Cao Cao did not forget to bury Guo Jia in a strange way after returning to the court.

As a result, Cao Cao sent troops south, captured Jingzhou without any effort, and then disappeared into nowhere.

The next wave of operations that showed off IQ was elegant, but in the end he was beaten by Liu Bei and Zhou Yu until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he went home crying.

After being severely beaten by society, Cao Cao became honest and completed the transformation from questioning Guo Jia, insinuating Guo Jia, understanding Guo Jia, to learning from Guo Jia.

Later, Cao Cao contributed an idiom: Get Long and look forward to Shu.

No matter how Liu Ye and Sima Yi tried to persuade him, Cao Cao refused to lead a large army to attack Shu to eliminate Liu Bei, who was not yet firmly established. "

Qianxue asked from the side: "Then if Guo Jia lives, can Sun Quan and Liu Bei still win the Battle of Chibi?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't think we can win. If Guo Jia was still alive at that time, [-]% of the time he wouldn't have marched into Chibi. If Cao Jun doesn't fight you, how can you let Sun Quan and Liu Bei win the Battle of Chibi."

I estimate that the strategy Guo Jia chose was to defend Jingzhou, then drag Cao Cao to attack Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and then invade Shu with his army.

The most powerful thing about Guo Jia, and what I admire most about him, is that no matter how unreasonable or absurd the strategy he proposes is, even if Cao Cao feels that there must be something seriously wrong with Guo Jia's head, Cao Cao will still execute Guo Jia's strategy. Come up with strategies instead of being smart.

After Guo Jia's death, there were still many counselors who could come up with correct strategies, but the problem was that Cao Cao was confused and didn't know who to listen to.

It is not difficult to come up with a strategy, but it is difficult to make a choice.

Give you four top counselors and ask them to each provide a strategic plan.There is a [-]% chance that at least one of the strategies is the correct answer.

The difficulty lies in how to identify the correct strategy. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "I understand, my husband just wants to rely on the advantage of food and grass to destroy Japan."

"Yes, if there had not been a severe drought, Japan could still have spent one or two years. But once the severe drought broke out, the weather was on my side, and Japan would have only spent a few more months at most.

They are different from us. We not only have warehouses in Beijing and Beijing, but also have warehouses in important local towns.There are more than 20 provinces, so there must be a few provinces with good harvests.

And, most importantly, in some areas of Annan, rice can be harvested three times a year.

So we just spent a lot of money, opened copper mines, minted copper coins, and bought grain from the south.

Those stupid dogs in Xuande Dynasty always said that Annan was useless. Annan was well managed, but it was a big granary.

There is also Taizong. It would be inappropriate not to say a few words about him. In fact, the people of Annan didn't think much about rebelling. They had to have the eunuch Ma Qi there to mess around. If he replaced the eunuch with a better personality, he would die.Even if there is something wrong with my brain, if it were Li Li, I would still rebel. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "My husband is still kind. He said that tax exemption for the people of Annan is tax exemption. It is so difficult to fight in Japan, so he just buys food from Annan instead of forcing it." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Buy with copper coins and promote it along the way. The circulation of copper coins. The circulation period of treasure banknotes is almost over. In order to maintain the credibility of the court, I even plan to introduce a policy of exchanging treasure banknotes for copper coins.

Let the last batch of treasure banknotes in the hands of the people be exchanged for copper coins, so as not to completely become waste paper. "

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu hugged Zhu Qiyu and kissed her hard: "How come we found such a kind-hearted husband? We are really lucky."

"Is it as simple as me just being kind?"

Lin Xiangyu shook her head and smiled: "No, no, no, you are a kind-hearted and capable slave owner."

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. In the next few days, I'll let you see how capable I am."

Speechless for a day.

March 22, early morning.

Zhu Wenfang was asleep when she was shaken awake by Xu Qing.

Zhu Wenfang asked with an aggrieved look: "My beloved concubine, the palace examination is over. Do you have anything to do today? Why are you shaking me so early in the morning?

I am still a child, and I am still growing. What will happen if I sleep too much? "

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Get up first. Let's go home and sleep well at night. Now we have to go and pay our respects to the two mothers and concubines."

Hearing this, Zhu Wenfang had no choice but to get up from the bed, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, my real father who cheated his son, gave me fifteen mothers and concubines, and I am destined to be a kowtowing insect. "

Xu Qing smiled and said: "I heard that my father gave away five of them, otherwise it would be more fatal."

After washing and dressing up, the two of them went out of Xuanwu Gate to the west, entered Xiyuan, and walked to Qionghua Island via Taiye Bridge.

After admiring the scenery on the island for a while, Zhu Wenfang felt a little unbalanced: "Why does our Kunning Palace look like that, but the pavilions and pavilions on Qionghua Island are so exquisite, and they are all made of white marble."

Xu Qing replied: "I know this. All the buildings on the island were demolished by Emperor Father and rebuilt for the three mothers and concubines. Now only two mothers and concubines are at home.

The Guanghan Palace in the middle of Qionghua Island is very beautiful. I heard it is not much worse than the Qingliang Palace where my father lived. "

Zhu Wenfang smiled and said: "My father is really good at loving women. No wonder several mothers and concubines love him to death. Especially my own mother, who stays in Lingyu Palace every day and sticks to her father and refuses to go out. She doesn't even care about her own son. .”

The two entered the Guanghan Palace talking and laughing, and the two imperial concubines Chao Yun and Mu Yu stood up to greet them in person.

After not seeing each other for three months, Zhu Wenfang and Xu Qing insisted on kowtowing, but Zhao Yun and Mu Yu reluctantly accepted.

Chao Yun advised: "That's it this time. Don't do this big gift in the future. Brother Fang becomes the prince, so he is the king. How can he kneel down and kowtow all the time."

Zhu Wenfang smiled and said: "Even if my son becomes the emperor, he is still the son of his mother and concubine. During the holidays, he still has to kowtow."

Mu Yu pulled Zhu Wenfang and smiled and said, "Although you have inherited the appearance of my eldest sister, your sweet mouth seems to have learned Ningxiang's skills."

Zhu Wenfang looked surprised: "Qi Niang's eyes are like fire. How did you tell that I haven't been with Shi Niang to be taught every day recently?"

Mu Yu smiled proudly and said: "Those crazy girls, how can I not know them? How about it, are you still used to living in the Forbidden City?"

Zhu Wenfang shook his head helplessly: "After only two days here, my son knew why his father ran away in the first place. It was so painful. I paid my respects to the two mothers and concubines, and then went back to Prince Qi's Mansion after a short walk. . It’s too difficult to be the crown prince, so I’d better go back and be the king of Qi.”
