Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 286 you come and I go
The Minister of War seems to be the official most directly related to the war, but in fact it is not the case.

What the Minister of War only exercises is the power of management, and it is mainly reflected in non-war periods. In fact, there is basically nothing that the Minister of War can do during war, because those are matters decided by the ruler and cabinet members.

Even the Wenyuange Grand Scholars only have the right to make suggestions, after all, the Ming Dynasty was an era when the world was the only one.

Of course, not all Ministers of the Ministry of War are like Fang Bin. For example, the previous Minister of War, Jin Zhong, is not like this. But how many Jin Zhongs can there be in this world?
In addition, if the Minister of War wants to participate in mobilization and other matters during the war, he can only be selected by the emperor and sent out as his retinue.

And now, are you going on an expedition?

Since there is no such thing, then Fang Bin is naturally not qualified to make suggestions.

This is the last news Zhu Zhanhe got before leaving Xiangzhou Mansion.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't express anything when he got the news. If he insists on saying so, it can only be ridiculed.

Fang Bin had always kept his tail low when the old man was around. That is to say, the variable Zhu Zhanhe appeared. If history had followed the trend, he would have been dead by now.

Let alone the anniversary, the third anniversary has already passed.

In history, many people know that Xia Yuanji was sent to prison. One is because Xia Yuanji was one of the few people who dared to confront the old man in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly... it was precisely because Xia Yuanji was sentenced to prison this time that it paved the way for the phrase "Xia Yuanji loves me" that the old man said in history.

But in fact, few people know that when Xia Yuanji was sent to prison in history, Fang Bin also died.

In the 19th year of Yongle in history, Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, Lu Zhen, Minister of the Rites, Wu Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War at that time, played the Emperor Yongle together. .

In the end, the four ministers failed to shake Emperor Yongle's belief in the Northern Expedition, and all four were sentenced to prison.

During this incident, the other three ministers were not afraid, but Fang Bin was frightened all day long in the imperial prison, and finally hanged himself to death.

For such a person to dare to make such a suggestion to the emperor is simply because he saw Emperor Hongxi's kindness and felt that even if the emperor disagreed, nothing would happen to him.

Why don't you try it as an old man?He promises not to even fart!

Historically, he had to wait for Xia Yuanji to take the lead and Wuzhong and Lu Zhen to respond before he dared to follow suit. Without anyone to take the lead, what could he do?
Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe was not worried about this person, and even felt that his uncle was a little too kind.

He shouldn't and can't have any opinions on the officials appointed by the court. After all, he has been away from the court for too long now, but he has a lot of opinions on the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although he always fought openly and secretly with the prince's lineage, and refused many things because he did not want to make wedding clothes for the prince's lineage, Zhu Zhanhe sincerely hoped that the Ming Dynasty, the last Han dynasty in history, would become more and more powerful.

The Minister of War, no matter what kind of enemy or battle he faces, anyone can advocate peace, move south, or even advocate surrender, but the Minister of War cannot.

However, Emperor Hongxi was not as kind as he appeared on the surface.

Zhu Gaoxu once said of Emperor Xuande: In terms of hypocrisy and cruelty, he is not inferior to my father, Emperor Yongle; in terms of cunning and hypocrisy, he surpasses my eldest brother.

This comment definitely contains the hatred of the enemy camp, but if he were to be replaced, it could at least show that Emperor Hong Xi had a scheming plan.

Otherwise, Zhu Gaoxu would not be criticized as cunning and hypocritical.

……

Guangxi, Siming Mansion.

Jin Ya took the warrants from Zhu Zhanhe and Mu Sheng and mobilized troops from Yunnan. This was the first place to enter.

Here, it does not border Yunnan, but it borders Annan, and it is close to the sea. It is the best place to start suppressing bandits.

However, it is easy to suppress bandits, but the bandit to be eliminated this time is the Maitreya Sect, which is also the White Lotus Sect that appeared in various TV series in later generations. This is not easy.

Maitreya Sect originated during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. After hundreds of years of evolution, it became the White Lotus Sect by the Ming Dynasty.

This White Lotus Sect is just a wallflower, and it's also a wallflower who tries to find every opportunity.

When the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, they advocated restoring the Tang Dynasty; when the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, they advocated rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the Song Dynasty; when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, they advocated rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has always been in history and has never been discontinued. It is a grass on the wall, using various available reasons to collect people's wealth and develop believers.

The most prominent feature of such a sect is that it is difficult to clean up because they are hidden among the people.

Looking at Siming Mansion as usual, Jin Ya felt a little troubled.

It's not like he has no achievements. When he first entered Siming Mansion, he once wiped out a group of bandits in Bafeng Mountain. This was the news he got from the people.

But after that, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who got the news fled and were never seen again.

"Report!"

Just when Jin Ya felt that it was difficult, the voice of the messenger sounded suddenly, making Jin Ya couldn't help but look sideways.

"Report! Yang Pu, the cabinet scholar, came to inspect on the emperor's orders!

Jin Ya frowned.

This node, this place, this person...

However, it is unreasonable to be unreasonable, but Jin Ya has to go.

"Take me there."

"Yes!"

……

Simingfu Inn.

Jin Ya knew Zhu Zhanhe's current situation, so even if Zhu Zhanhe didn't mention it, he strictly ordered the soldiers not to harass the people at will, and they were not allowed to enter areas where people gathered.

Except for the time at Bafeng Mountain, at other times, as long as you rest, you must be outside the city, and it is still ten miles outside the city, or even further.

"Jin Ya pays homage to the Minister of Taichang Temple."

Yang Pu was not allowed to be reused before. If it were not for Zhu Zhanhe, he would have been imprisoned in the imperial edict in the 12th year of Yongle. This period lasted ten years.

But now that Zhu Gaochi has succeeded to the throne, Yang Pu, who once served as an official in the Prince's Mansion, has naturally been reused. He was promoted to Minister of Taichang Temple as soon as he came up, a third-rank official.

"Please get up." Yang Pu bent down and helped Jin Ya up personally.

"Although this old man came here under the banner of the imperial court, in fact he is not here for inspection, but for condolences."

"The Mu family army has been a hero of the Ming Dynasty since it accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wu to conquer Japan. However, Yunnan is under the autonomy of King Wu, so the court cannot give him a reward."

"Nowadays, the Guangdong and Guangxi areas are being ravaged by the White Lotus Sect's evil desires. The Mu family army has sent troops under the order of His Highness, Prince Wu, to quell the chaos for the people. It is really commendable."

"When I came this time, in addition to the supplies sent by the imperial court, I also brought someone to relieve General Jin's lovesickness."
