Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 181 The second hero of Jingnan is about to go offline
Zhu Zhanhe didn't talk nonsense and beat up the drowned dog. He really didn't like it.

If he wanted to ridicule, he would usually choose to ridicule him on the spot. After time, it would be meaningless, just like how he ridiculed Ashikaga Yoshimachi when he was in the Muromachi Shogunate.

He could understand the old man's idea of ​​letting him come over to vent, but he really didn't need it.

Confucianism, he really didn't care.

He has many ways to rectify Confucianism. Although he cannot dig out the roots of Confucianism and cannot make Confucianism disappear in the long river of history, it is relatively simple to disgust them to the point of vomiting.

After leaving the prison, feeling the fresh air outside, Zhu Zhanhe took a deep breath.

"Xia Shangshu, please go back first."

"Huh?" Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Then Weizhe will leave first."

"Jin Shangshu." Looking at Xia Yuanji's back, Zhu Zhanhe said seemingly unintentionally.

"Do you want to come with me to the palace?"

……

Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Since the King of Han came to power in the ninth year of Yongle, this was the first time that Zhu Zhanhe took the initiative to enter the palace for reasons other than official business.

Zhu Di was very happy and thought that his approach had an effect, but this was just his opinion.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe took the initiative to enter the palace for official reasons.

His expression changed from happy to solemn in just a moment.

Zhu Di looked at the imperial doctor in front of him, vaguely wanting to get angry, but he held it back in the end.

He knew that it was not the imperial doctor in front of him who caused today's situation.

"Please step back first..." Zhu Di sighed and waved his hand.

"Yes……"

The imperial doctor shook for a moment, and then retreated with relief. Compared with the trembling person just now, who was afraid that his head would fall to the ground, the imperial doctor who retreated even walked much more briskly.

"Jin Zhong, you..." Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong, who looked calm and composed in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own destiny, and Jin Zhong deserves it." Jin Zhong smiled, not worrying about anything because of his physical problems.

Jin Zhong, since he entered the Peking Yan Prince's Mansion as a guard in the 24th year of Hongwu, this person's life trajectory has been rising all the way until Zhu Di's Jingnan. He supported Zhu Di and became the second hero of Jingnan.

However, this person only lived until April of the 13th year of Yongle in history, that is... April of next year.

Zhu Zhanhe had no intention of intervening in this matter. He had never been a selfless person. What's more, Jin Zhong was against the old man making his father the prince. It would be a good thing if Zhu Zhanhe didn't secretly pocket him. .

Although Zhu Zhanhe also knows that Jin Zhong is thinking about the future of Ming Dynasty and the stability of Ming Dynasty, but there are some things, even if you know that it is right to do so, when the person whose interests are harmed is you, you still I can't help but feel resentful.

However, this time Jin Zhong spoke for him in the court. Although Zhu Zhanhe didn't need it, he still accepted Jin Zhong's affection.

Favor is something that you don't owe just because you say you don't owe it. Other people's thoughts are also a key factor that affects one of them.

Zhu Zhanhe never owed favors.

Even if it was given by Zhu Di, it was all in exchange for Zhu Zhanhe killing corrupt officials, Japanese pirates and steppe Tatars.

However, it seems that even if he said it in advance, there would be no way to change the outcome of this matter.

Jin Zhong's illness was caused by years of fatigue, coupled with old illnesses sustained from injuries sustained during the Jing'an crisis. It had accumulated to the point where it was about to deteriorate.

In future generations, there might be hope, but now, the limitations of the times have made many diseases become terminal illnesses, and even a small cold may kill someone.

Looking at Jin Zhong in front of him, Zhu Zhanhe was really impressed, because when he knew that there was no possibility of curing his disease, the first thing he thought of was not his own private matters, but business matters.

"Your Majesty, instead of worrying about this, it would be better to decide on the candidate for the next Minister of War as soon as possible."

Jin Zhong's eyes were clear without any cloudiness, and he didn't look like a terminally ill person at all.

Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Shizhong, since I came to the throne, you have been the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. Do you have any recommendations?"

After all, he was the emperor. Even though he felt very sorry for this old subordinate, Zhu Di quickly adjusted his mood.

"My lord, I have no idea. Your Majesty has the final say." Jin Zhong thought for a moment and lowered his head.

The talents of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Yongle Dynasty, were really unbalanced.

There were three civil servants in the cabinet, and later there were Hu Ying and others, but there was only one person with outstanding talents in military affairs, Zhang Fu.

Although the Ministry of War is a civilian official, it must also have certain military talents. After all, this department has the word "soldier" in it.

Except for supporting Zhu Gaochi when he proposed to establish the crown prince, Jin Zhong almost never expressed his opinions on any issues related to the camp, nor recommended anyone.

This time, too.

"Zhanhe, what do you think?" The old man suddenly turned his attention to Zhu Zhanhe, which made him a little at a loss.

He only mentioned the matter of Jin Zhong's physical problems out of the idea of ​​returning a favor to Jin Zhong, but he never thought of getting involved in the appointment and dismissal of a petition.

To put it further, he, the prince of the feudal lord, is not qualified to give advice on such matters, nor can he offer opinions.

To put it more closely, the more he talks, the more mistakes he makes, which will most likely become a burden in the future.

"It has been almost four years since my grandson left Yingtian. He is not familiar with the affairs of the imperial court. There are even many officials in the imperial court who are unfamiliar with him. How can I recommend him?"

Zhu Zhanhe lowered his head and spoke in a very official tone.

"I'm afraid my grandson won't be able to help with this matter."

Zhu Di sighed lightly, but did not speak again.

How could he not know what Zhu Zhanhe was thinking?

A minister, and also a minister of the Ministry of War, how could he choose from new faces?If you want to choose, you must choose from those old faces with meritorious service.

Zhu Zhanhe said that he had been away from Beijing for a long time and was not familiar with the people and things in the DPRK. It seemed reasonable. After all, four years was a long time, but in fact it could be said to be pure nonsense.

"Well..." Seeing that neither Jin Zhong nor Zhu Zhanhe had any intention of recommending him, Zhu Di could only frown in thought.

After a long time, Zhu Di revealed a human life.

"What do you think of Fang Bin?"

"Cough cough..."

As soon as the old man spoke, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help coughing twice, and immediately attracted the attention of both the old man and Jin Zhong.

It wasn't that he meant it, it was because he was so surprised by the name that he choked on his spit.

"It's okay...it's okay..." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands repeatedly.

Fang Bin, this supporting actor who played quite a few roles in the TV series, was actually as undistinguished as Empress Xiao Gongsun in history.

Fang Bin has average abilities, but his ability to adapt to the wind is pretty good, but his brain is a bit lacking.

Fang Bin became an official during the Hongwu period. He started as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice and transferred to the Ministry of War within a few months. Later, he committed some crimes and was demoted to Guangdong. It took a long time before he returned to the center of power in Yingtian. .

Later, the old man's arrest was successful, and Fang Bin was one of the first people to defect to the Yongle Dynasty, and took the opportunity to climb to the position of the right minister of the Ministry of War.

Historically, he became the second Minister of War in the Yongle Dynasty after Jin Zhong. However, this man's death was so interesting that Zhu Zhanhe felt that he was not qualified to be the Minister of War.

Historically, in the 19th year of Yongle, the old man wanted to go on a personal expedition, but the Ming Dynasty's finances were already overwhelmed, so Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, Wuzhong, the Minister of Punishments, and Fang Bin, who was the Minister of War at that time, They jointly remonstrated and tried to prevent the old man from conquering the country personally.

Xia Yuanji was sent to prison at that time, and Fang Bin was so frightened that he hanged himself because of what happened to Xia Yuanji, and died by hanging himself.

How could such a person become the Minister of War?
"Zhan He, why don't you just say it if you have something to say?" Although Zhu Zhanhe said it was okay, how could Zhu Di not know that Zhu Zhanhe had opinions on this matter?

"Uh..." Zhu Zhanhe looked at the old man, thought about it, and made a few comments.

"The Ministry of War, the soldiers, do not have the word peace, so no matter what situation they face, the decision of the Ministry of War can only be war, not peace, let alone surrender."

"If the military department of a dynasty loses its strength, then the dynasty will be finished."

Having said this, Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly towards the old man and stopped talking.

Seeing this, he has said enough to repay the old man for letting him go to prison today.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanhe and said nothing, but he didn't say anything more about the Minister of War.

Standing up, Zhu Di picked up a letter from the desk and put it in Zhu Zhanhe's hand.

"What are your thoughts on this matter?"

……

Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to speak.

This is the envelope he gave to the old man yesterday, and he knows best what is written in it.

Now that the old man has taken it back, he obviously wants him to make it clear.

"What should be said has been written down by my grandson. You should be able to understand it." Zhu Zhanhe returned the fold to the old man's hand.

"Because of Huang Huai's matter?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanhe with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe nodded without any hesitation.

"Is this how you plan to end it? I thought you would use some other means..." Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanhe intently, as if he wanted to get some answers.

"After all, you also know that now you can be said to be the public enemy of the world's scholars, don't you have any ideas?"

Zhu Zhanhe remained silent.

Of course he has the idea, but not now, and he won't say it in front of the old man.

His method against Confucianism may not be acceptable to the old man, but there are others who can do it.

Therefore, although Zhu Zhanhe planned to severely disgust the Confucian scholars, he never thought of realizing this matter through the hands of the old man.

In comparison, some people actually work better.
