Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 60 The Son of Heaven Takes Command

"Go upstairs and talk."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was hesitant to speak, Ji Boying waved his hand.

"it is good."

Lao Zhu hurriedly followed, and followed Ji Boying to the private room on the top of the pavilion.

During class in the main hall, except for Lianxiang Xiyu, the rest of the attendants were not allowed to enter, and after class, Xiyu called some girls in to clean up the slightly chaotic main hall, such as burnt incense ashes, used rice paper, etc.

And Lianxiang is sitting on the side of the podium, writing vigorously. Although her heart is not as meticulous as Xiyu, she has a skill that her younger sister Xiyu does not possess, that is, super strong memory.

At this time, she was supplementing every sentence that Ji Boying said in class. It can be said that the words were not bad, and she organized these words into a book for future new students to read.

Handcrafted beautiful lower case letters, pleasing to the eye.

In the elegant room on the top of the pavilion, the early spring is approaching the afternoon sunshine, and it is shining through the floor-to-ceiling screen window.

Ji Boying and Lao Zhu entered the house, and sat down on the tea table next to the French screen window. A glimpse of the sparkling Qinhuai River was seen.

Leaving aside how the Hongwu Dynasty's officials were governed and how many officials were killed, let's say that under Lao Zhu's rule, compared with the chaos and starvation in the Yuan Dynasty, the people did not know how much more stable they were. This is also a blessing for the people.

Regardless of Lao Zhu's achievements in future generations, just creating a great Ming Dynasty, stabilizing the world, and making people live and work in peace and contentment for the people of the world is enough to be the best in the ages.

"Brother, come."

Lao Zhu took out the pack of thin cigarettes that Ji Boying gave him last night, smiled and handed Ji Boying cigarettes, Ji Boying subconsciously took the cigarettes, and Lao Zhu quickly took out the matches, stroked them, and prepared to light Ji Boying's cigarettes.

No one taught him to be able to have such a good operation. Lao Zhu was able to conquer the world from a single bowl, and he really has a few brushes in his life.

"Forget it, stop smoking, I didn't sleep well last night, my throat got a little angry."

With a flick of his hand, Ji Boying put away the cigarette that Lao Zhu handed over, and patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder by the way.

"You smoke less, too."

"Remember, especially not around your wife."

To popularize knowledge, the word "wife" in Tang and Song Dynasties had the meaning of wife, and at the end of Yuan Dynasty, the word "wife" basically refers to the title of husband to wife.

Last night when Empress Ma came, Ji Boying forgot all about it. Smoking next to a tuberculosis patient was a crime.

"Okay, okay, stop smoking, let's listen to brother."

Lao Zhu blew out the match with a 'huh', and then put away the cigarette case.

At this time, the private room door knocked three times, then opened with a babble, Xiyu came in with tea, stepped on lotus steps to the side of the two, and poured two cups of tea in a gentle and polite manner.

"I have an important matter to discuss with His Majesty, no one is allowed to go upstairs."

"Yes, Master~"

Xiyu bowed her body to salute, twisted her graceful waist, and swayed away in the wind.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

Ji Boying picked up his teacup and took a sip.

There is no tea in this era with Hex technology, and it tastes really good.

"Brother just talked about the expedition to Japan in class. I don't know which general in our court he thinks can be in command?"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he also took a sip of tea.

Hearing this, Ji Boying narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lao Zhu quietly, and didn't answer his question at all.

And Lao Zhu felt a little uncomfortable when Ji Boying watched him like this.

"Are you going to ask me this?"

"Old Zhu, the reason why I left Tianque and came to Daming was not because I was full and had nothing to do here to waste time with you, but to help you strengthen Daming, to help you prolong the reign of Daming, and make Daming a dynasty that will shine through the ages."

As soon as this remark came out, Lao Zhu suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Now is the early days of Hongwu, the army is still fighting, the founding generals are still alive, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and other famous generals are still in their prime, and the new generation of Sapphire has begun to show its strength. If you pull any one of these people out, as long as you can cross the sea safely and reach Japan, doing a small life is no different from drinking cold water.

Ji Boying doesn't know soldiers, even he knows this, and he knows the abilities of these generals under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has fought all his life, cannot be unaware.

Old Zhu paused and sighed.

"You are worried that if you lead an expedition with a military general, and then build an invincible merit, the merit will be so high that it will be difficult to control."

Ji Boying spoke softly, directly speaking what Lao Zhu was thinking.

Once the expedition to Japan is successful, the silver obtained is enough to make Ming Dynasty strong in a short period of time, and the credit of the person in command is bound to surpass that of Ming Dynasty. For example, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others are already first-class dukes, and there is nothing to seal.

"You originally wanted to think that the prince's command is false, and the name of the deputy is real, so as to put this unrivaled achievement on the prince, but you also thought that the future will be difficult, and the prince will be in charge of the army, and the tail will not be lost."

Old Zhu took a deep breath.

"What we think in our hearts has been guessed by my brother."

"Besides, since we went back last night, we have been thinking about another thing. We originally wanted to replace the generals with the kings to control the military power, enfeoff the kings, and defend the Ming Dynasty. But after going to Jianwen, we felt that this method would mess up the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. We tossed and turned all night last night, and really couldn't think of a good way to solve it."

With that said, Lao Zhu stood up and bowed to Ji Boying.

"Brother, please teach us!"

Ji Boying looked up at Lao Zhu.

After actually getting in touch with him, he felt that this Great Ming Taizu was not quite the same as in the historical records. After the founding of the country and his ascension to the throne, the old Zhu in the history books basically never reflected on himself.

Maybe it's because Lao Zhu is still in his prime, and he hasn't lost his son or wife or grandchildren, and his spirit is still normal, so after discovering the problem, he reflected on it in a timely manner.

After personally witnessing Jing Nan last night, Lao Zhu has already realized the serious consequences of using the kings to control the army.

"Sit down, one by one."

Ji Boying put down the teacup in his hand.

As far as the matter of extending Guozuo is concerned, the Hongwu Dynasty is definitely the easiest to achieve. Everything is in the head. As long as the head is opened, as long as the future generations are not all stupid kings, the difficulty of defending the country will be greatly reduced.

"The first one is the expedition to Japan, who will command the troops."

"my suggestion is."

Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu calmly.

"The Son of Heaven is in command, and the emperor will personally conquer."

Old Zhu's face suddenly changed...

"Brother, it's really not that we are afraid of death."

"We're seasick...!"

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, what are you kidding me?
Back then when you were doing Chen Youliang on Poyang Lake, the boat board was your favorite place to jump, so why didn't you get dizzy then?
