King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 22 King Zhu Shu of Qi
  Qingzhou City.

Prince Qi's Mansion.

Zhu Shu held a long sword in his hand and danced like the wind.

in front of him.

A eunuch was trembling with fear, holding an apple on his head.

Zhu Shu smiled and said: "Xiao Anzi, don't worry! Although you caught me playing with women and disturbed my elegance, I am by no means a grudge-bearing person. This time, if I chop down the apple, I won't be able to kill it." You, you'll be fine!

If it kills you, then you deserve this disaster in your life!
  However, I will never take revenge for personal gain and ensure fairness and reasonableness! "

While talking.

Zhu Shu's long sword slashed him head-on!

The eunuch screamed.

"Your Highness, your fairness and reasonableness is to kill me with a cloth blindfolded?"

Tsk-!
  The eunuch never had a chance to say another word.

He was stabbed in the head.

The apple and the top of the head split at the same time.

The red and white stuff sprayed all over Zhu Su.

Zhu Shu took off the cloth covering his eyes, calmly said to the trembling eunuch beside him: "Water!"

soon.

A eunuch came over shivering carrying a basin of water.

Zhu Shu washed his hands and face.

He took a deep sniff of the smell of blood in the air.

Mesmerized: "The smell of the air today is particularly sweet!"

The little eunuch who was short of water was a little doubtful about his life when he heard this.

This disgusting smell of blood is particularly sweet?
  prince
  horrible
  suddenly.

Qian Ming, the left chief of Prince Qi's palace, walked in quickly.

Looking at Zhu Shu, there was some fear in his eyes.

before him.

King Qi has already killed five long officials.

Reasons for killing vary.

This also makes Qian Ming treat every day when he goes out on business as the last day!
  Parting from my wife is like parting from life to death!

God knows when this cruel King of Qi will cut him off.

today.

Seeing the blood all over King Qi's body, Qian Ming knew that the prince had killed someone again.

He bit the bullet and said to King Qi: "Your Majesty, just now news came from King Qi's guard that thousands of troops from Prince Lu's palace have entered the country! The purpose is unknown! Commander Wang does not dare to stop it. He has ordered people to come to you and see what to do!"

Zhu Shu was stunned when he heard this.

He frowned and said, "King Lu? Zhu Tan? Why is he coming to my Qingzhou?"

Qian Ming smiled bitterly and said: "According to Prince Lu, it's because he wants to seek immortality and whoever stops him will die! No one from our palace dares to stop him!"

Zhu Shu said angrily: "How unreasonable!"

Qian Ming also said indignantly: "Yes, this is simply unreasonable! This King Lu is simply stupid to the extreme! Where can there be immortals in this world! What's more, there is no saying that seeking immortals requires dispatching a large number of troops?"

Zhu Shu glared at Qian Ming.

"Who are you scolding? The nine tribes don't want it anymore? What I mean is, since this immortal is in my domain, why should I find it for Zhu Tan!"

Qian Ming:
  Damn!

He actually forgot that Prince Qi also likes to seek immortality and seek enlightenment.

When you accuse King Lu of being fatuous, isn't he pointing at the monk and calling him a bald donkey?

Qian Ming laughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, you deserve to die! Your Highness, since King Lu has gone to look for immortals, let's go look for him too!"

Anyway, this thing doesn't exist at all, just fool it.
  Zhu Shu snorted: "You are stupid! Zhu Tan has been gone for so long, the immortal must have been found by him! Damn it, I have to sue him. When the time comes, Prince Lu's palace will lose power, and this immortal will return to his roots. King!"

Qian Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
  It’s so difficult for the prince’s chief envoy, I really can’t keep up with the prince’s ideas!

He suddenly understood why the previous generations were killed by the prince.

However, the prince and King Lu are brothers after all. King Lu’s army is crossing the border, so there must be something going on.

You're not going to file a complaint right away, are you?
  Qian Ming couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, should we investigate this matter again? You and Prince Lu are brothers after all."

Zhu Shu waved his hands impatiently and said: "Brother Shit! That loser Zhu Tan is the mortal enemy of this king on the road! To practice Taoism and live forever depends on your own efforts. You need to meditate and ponder, and work hard to train your body and mind! He He actually embarked on the evil path of refining elixirs and cultivating immortality! Based on this alone, I and he are at odds with each other!"

Qian Ming:.
  I thought you had such deep enmity with King Lu
  Are relationships because of something so unreliable as practicing Taoism?

Zhu Ming snorted and said: "Qian Ming, go and call the hundred households who saw Lu Wangwei's army crossing the border! Let's go to Jinan Mansion!" Qian Ming was stunned and asked: "My lord, what are you going to Jinan for?" ?”

Zhu Shu said: "Go to Shandong Chief Envoy Sun Yannian! Regarding this matter, I and Shandong Chief Envoy will jointly submit a memorial to impeach King Lu!"

Qian Ming heard this.

His expression suddenly became serious.

It seems that the prince wants to make things worse
  If the King of Qi had just submitted a memorial to the emperor to report the King of Lu, it might just be regarded as a quarrel between brothers.

But now, the prince actually wants to join forces with the Chief Envoy of Shandong to sue King Lu, and the matter is serious.

Of course, the evidence is now conclusive!

Just bring that centurion with you!

As the chief historian of the palace, Qian Ming naturally did not dare to disobey.

He nodded immediately and said: "I obey your orders!"

Jinan Prefecture.

Shandong Chief Envoy Si Yamen.

Duke Xin Guo Tang He sat in the center, his face as sinking as water.

Beside him sat Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an.

Next.

Sitting there were three senior officials from the Shandong Chief Envoy Department.

They are Sun Yannian, the chief envoy of Shandong, Li Quan, the inspector-general of Shandong, and Zhou Dakang, the commander-in-chief of Shandong.

In order to prevent local officials from becoming more powerful, Shandong has always distributed power in this way at the provincial level.

There are respectively the Chief Envoys Department, the Inspectorate Envoys Department and the Capital Command Envoys Department.

The highest officials of the three yamen are all second-grade.

usually.

The chief envoy is in charge of people's livelihood, economic and administrative affairs.

The inspectors are responsible for supervising local illegal activities.

The commander-in-chief of the capital is in charge of military affairs.

The three yamen decentralized the power of the entire province. Once major events involving the province were encountered, they would gather together for meetings and discussions before making final decisions.

Tang He said calmly: "Today, my father-in-law came to Shandong, mainly to inspect Shandong's coastal defense on the order of His Majesty! From the 17th to the 18th year of Hongwu alone, in just over a year, Japanese pirates of all sizes invaded Shandong. More than a dozen times! Thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed and injured! Countless property was lost!

Master Sun, Master Li, Master Zhou! Talk about it! How come Shandong allows Japanese pirates to wreak such havoc? Is it because the imperial court has given you less money for border defense, or is it because there are not enough guard posts? Or it could be that the local officials are not in a good position to defend the territory, or your Shandong soldiers just can't fight! "

At the end of the words, there was a hint of scolding.

It made the three second-grade officers feel a little restless!

After all, the person in front of them was a supreme prince!

He is still a veteran prince who started his career with His Majesty and conquered the world with His Majesty!

Sun Yannian, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, heard Tang He's scolding.

My heart is extremely bitter!

In fact.

The money given by the imperial court to Shandong border defense was not much!
  Who doesn't know.

The imperial court's energy is all in the north, and it has been repeatedly raiding the grasslands. How much money can Shandong get to build border defenses?

However, Shandong’s coastal defense line is long!

From north to south, the coastline of the Shandong Peninsula stretches for more than 6000 miles!

Even including the newly built Anton Guard, there are only four guard posts in Shandong now, with more than 20,000 people!
  Isn’t it a joke to defend a coastal defense line of more than 6000 miles?
  not to mention.

Although the Japanese pirates were poor, their fighting methods were messy.

However, those Japanese pirates leading the charge were all ronin!
  These people are not afraid of death, and the samurai swords in their hands are extremely sophisticated, although the combat power of the guardsmen in the early Ming Dynasty was not that high.

But with the same number, it is still difficult for the guards to win against Japanese pirates.

On the contrary, they were often killed by Japanese pirates!

There is nothing we can do about it.

The health center system has been implemented for more than ten years.

Emperor Hongwu was very proud.

He often boasts, "I can raise millions of soldiers without wasting a grain of rice for the people!"

But the price is also very huge!
