Jinyi Night Walk

Zhu Di smiled, and said, "Courage is gratifying! Shanfei can't do it with a single bold statement that will break his body to pieces for the king!"

"Where is Your Majesty's concern?"

"Now is the first year of Yongle, and the era that belongs to the League has just arrived! The world must be governed by the old ministers of Jianwen for the League, and guarded by the military officials of Jingnan. However, to keep them in check, you have to rely on Lian's direct descendants. Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng are Lian's right-hand men in the army. When he fell, Lian lost his arm.

Not only that, as long as he is moved, many of the soldiers he has brought out over the years will be moved in order to prevent future troubles.Now that the alliance has a stable foothold, can it afford to go to war? "

Xia Xun retorted: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Your Majesty thinks that you can hide the matter of the Shuangyu Guards? Just like they were framed, there are actually many loopholes at the root. If the imperial court wants to investigate, it will definitely find out the truth. It is simply delusional to want to keep a secret involving thousands of people.

Their real reliance is nothing else, but that the aggrieved person cannot submit evidence even if they have it. For this reason, they have to cover the sky with one hand and deceive the emperor.And the minister is precisely a variable beyond their control, that's why the minister got caught in it for no reason and was imprisoned unjustly.As long as the planting is successful, the insiders are only limited to a corner of Xidong, and the insiders will not spread the word.

It's different now, your Majesty personally decreed this case to be heard, and the government and the public are concerned about it. The outcome has already been spread in the capital. Even if His Majesty wants to hide it, he can't hide it. Soon, it will become a "secret" known to everyone , If you don't disclose the truth at that time, wouldn't you be deceiving yourself?

The high-ranking generals in the army took credit for their merits and framed their colleagues. Once such scandals spread, they would really self-destruct the Great Wall.At the beginning, the emperor spoke earnestly and sincerely, when he ordered the heroes of Jingnan, he hoped that we would not make mistakes, that the monarch and his ministers could live in harmony, and rest together with the country, but it was not because he was worried that the heroes of Jingnan were originally the officials of Yan Wangfu, and the biggest was no more than an official of the government. , just because of the power of the dragon, soaring into the sky, and suddenly ascending to a high position, fearing that it will become corrupt and corrupt?

When I first entered Jinling with the Flying Dragon secret spy, I encountered a similar situation. Those iron-blooded warriors who were carefully selected from the three guards of His Majesty Yanshan, have always been strict in military discipline and brave in battle. Do many absurd things.The minister resolutely dealt with it, and indeed caused my secret team to suffer heavy losses, lost some capable people, and gave up some hidden stakes that were originally carefully arranged.But if this is not the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait until the day when His Majesty's troops come to Jinling.Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been difficult to conquer the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.Defending the country is the same as fighting the country, you need to kill and make decisions! "

Zhu Di said: "This case is different from your case. You were just greedy for ink alone. But this is a situation where many generals in the army have joined forces to frame the robes. The impact is so great and far-reaching. Once the soldiers are separated because of this, the consequences will be worrisome."

Xia Xun laughed and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying something offensive. Your Majesty, you have been so smart all your life, why did you get confused by this matter? Yes, Your Majesty also knows that the consequences are serious, but this consequence is precisely because it is better to be deceived than to be publicized. Only strict After investigation to the end, the officials involved in the case will be severely punished and will not be punished, only then can we restore integrity and restore the confidence of the soldiers!"

"Ruren... It's the first year of Yongle. At the beginning of the new year, there are many such scandals involving Jingnan heroes. The jokes of the civil and military officials in the old dynasty are waiting to watch the couplet. Once it is publicized, the court will be decent..."

"Your Majesty, your dignity comes from fighting, not from hiding. The Zhedong Navy put all the responsibility for the defeat on the Shuangyu Guards, and now it has been proved that this is pure nonsense. The scumbags did not suffer any damage from this. I would like to ask your Majesty, can your Majesty seal the mouths of civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, and the mouths of the people of the world? The waves come here to cause harm to the sea, and at that time, it will still be the court's face..."

Zhu Di struggled between expressions, obviously it was difficult to choose.

Seeing this, Xia Xun sighed and said, "Your Majesty raised the flag with [-] personal soldiers to appease the enemy, but what were you afraid of? Now that you have been sitting in the world for only half a year, you have changed and become timid! Your Majesty, you have always been worried The heroes of Jingnan who followed you to conquer the world will change, but why have you not changed, Your Majesty? There are too many bottles and cans in the house, and you are afraid of bumping into them, afraid of falling, and your vigor is gone!"

Zhu Di seemed to have been hit by an invisible sledgehammer, and suddenly took two steps back, his chest heaved, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were fixed on Xia Xun, and a frightening cold light shot out from his eyes.

Xia Xun seemed to be missing, removed the crown, knelt down there, and said in a loud voice: "I offend the emperor, I deserve death! Please punish me!"

"you……"

Xia Xun is not Bigan, he doesn't have the habit of gouging out his heart and remonstrating to death at every turn, but his words are indeed serious, not serious enough to touch Zhu Di, and serious enough to really anger Zhu Di, so he first The second sentence followed immediately.

"If your majesty doesn't think I'm stupid, and is willing to entrust you with the important task of suppressing the hunchback, I promise that you will definitely show the prestige of our Daming, and tell the hunchback to throw off his helmet and armor, and make him invincible. Let the hunchbacks never become popular again!"

What Xia Xun said was not just to find fault with this sentence that seriously offended the emperor, but also had a far-reaching meaning.He wants to participate in military affairs, and he has learned from the painful experience. He feels that, as a duke who secretly controls a spy force, he does not have much say in the temple, and his influence is limited.But Ru Chang, an uncle, has resigned from the position of Minister, and he, a Duke of the state, cannot have a place in the civil service system.

Emperor Mingzu I, the highest rank of civil servants, the rank of uncle is not allowed to be too high, only military commanders can.So he couldn't intervene in the civil service system, but he could gain a foothold in the military official system.And suppressing the hunchback is an excellent opportunity.

As for success or failure, he is still certain.In the military, he has some experience in fighting against hunchbacks of Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang and others, and he has the hunchback skills of Shuangyu Wei, so he will not suffer a big loss.What about politics?

Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang are all famous players who can fight very well. As far as Qi Jiguang is concerned, if he is placed in this era, he may not be worse than Duke Qi Qiu Fu, or even stronger.It's just that he didn't have such an opportunity as Qiu Fu, so he didn't have such a noble status and achievement.

But even with Qi Jiguang's strength, he only often wins battles and inflicts heavy injuries in the face of the gangsters, but he still can't talk about defeating the gangsters. What's the reason?Geindek is not an army and has no political purpose.If it is an army, defeat it militarily, and reach a certain agreement with its ruler politically, this enemy will naturally disappear.

But the bandits are different, they are essentially a group of pirates, their only source of livelihood is robbing, and their only combat mission is robbing.You kill one batch, and another batch will come again, unless the people on that island country are extinct, this battle will never be won unless you find a way from the root cause.Xia Xun would like to take advantage of the history-proven successful experience of suppressing gangsters to combat the arrogance of gangsters, and then solve the problems caused by gangsters from the root.

In this way, although pirates will still exist after thousands of years and are inexhaustible, large-scale pirates like Japanese pirates can disappear in the East China Sea.And to achieve this, after the military success, some political actions will follow. If we can use this as an opportunity to in turn promote Ming to change the overly strict maritime ban policy of the Hongwu Dynasty, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the disadvantages? ?

After Zhu Di heard this, he turned angry and turned into surprise. He put his rebellious words behind him, and said in surprise, "What? You want to invite Ying to lead the army to suppress the bandits? Yang Xu, don't underestimate Qiu Fu just because he was defeated. .Qiu Fu has been a soldier all his life and has fought all his life. Although he was defeated this time, he can't deny his life's achievements and treat him like a waste. If you are talking about leading soldiers to fight, you are not as good as him!"
