Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun returned to Beijing, and Zhu Di commended him with a grand welcome ceremony for successfully solving the Japanese pirates problem during his trip to Japan.The seven great scholars headed by Xie Jin, led six departments and seven ministers, greeted them in person according to the order, and the momentum was extremely huge.

At the same time, Qiu Fu packed his luggage, left the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, quietly left the capital through another city gate, and crossed the river to the north. Only Zhu Gaoxu and a few close people sent him off.

With an imperial decree, the emperor transferred Qiu Fu to Beijing and served as the governor of the capital of the five armies in Beijing.Perhaps, this is the best arrangement for this veteran Jing Nan who has made great contributions. The north is the best place for him to show his talents, and this is also his punishment.There is no doubt that he will stay away from the center of power, and for a long time, he will not be able to exert enough influence on the government.

For Zhu Gaoxu, this was a heavy blow. His supporters were mainly from the army, and Qiu Fu was one of the only two remaining marshals in the Ming army. His departure undoubtedly broke Zhu Gaoxu's arm, and even more What's worse is that this can be interpreted as the disappointment of his father in him. According to legal principles, his emperor's brother and nephew are all there, and the throne is far away from him. If he loses his father's favor, what chance does he have? What about becoming the Crown Prince?

There was no choice but to let the flowers fall, and it seemed that Yan once returned.

Qiu Fu left, and Xia Xun came.

At the Jinshen Palace, Xia Xun and Zheng He returned the order, and the Japanese envoys who came with them also returned the order to the Emperor of Heaven.

What is his purpose?Because Zhu Di once asked Zheng He to declare the decree and directly ordered the Japanese king Minamoto to eradicate the pirates, and now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has completed this task and returned the decree to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is the real vassal of the Ming Dynasty, not just in name submission.It goes without saying that Zhu Di did what his father failed to do when he was still alive.

When Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he sent envoys to Japan to order Japan to surrender. What happened?The Japanese executed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and replied in strong words: "Three kings stand upright, five emperors are Zen; only China has a master, how can there be no emperor in the autumn? The universe is vast, and it is not the sole power of one master; the universe is broad and flooded. The state is divided into divisions. Those who rule the world are not ruled by one person...

I heard that Your Majesty has a strategy for fighting... Bu Bang has his own plan for defending against the enemy, his thesis includes articles on the morality of Confucius and Mencius, and his discussion of martial arts has Sun Wu's strategy of war.It is also heard that His Majesty chose a general with a large arm and raised his best soldiers to invade the court.A land of water and swamps, a state of mountains and seas, is covered with water and soil, and is about to be greeted by soldiers, how can you kneel and paint it and serve it!Going along does not necessarily mean life, and going against it does not necessarily mean death.When we meet in front of Helan Mountain, we will talk about gambling, what is there to be afraid of?"

Among them, the word "minister" was added by Ming Dynasty when he translated the Japanese national documents. In fact, at that time, Japan refused to surrender, and stood completely on an equal footing. It only expressed congratulations to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and did not mean to be a vassal. Received by Daming I went to Japan to reply to the letter of credence, but there was nothing I could do about it. Really sent troops to conquer? Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, the major events of the country are not children's play games, they are done entirely according to their own interests.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to hold his nose and swallow the bad breath. Today, Japan is not only sincere and frightened, but also begged to be a minister again and again, and he is unswerving in his will. This is undoubtedly a heart booster.Zhu Di laughed heartily when he heard the words in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's official letter of "sincerity, sincerity, fear and fear.

After the court meeting, Zhu Di left Xia Xun again, and brought him and Zheng He back to Jinshen Hall, still in high spirits.

Although Zheng He had already reported to him some things that were inconvenient to say in the court, Zhu Di still asked with great interest. The detailed explanation by Xia Xun and Zheng He was more interesting than the simple words, and Zhu Di listened. lol.

Afterwards, Zhu Di sent Zheng He away, glanced at Xia Xun, and his face suddenly became serious: "Hangzhou was assassinated, what's going on?"

Xia Xun said: "The minister is also wondering. I don't know who is instigating this matter. The minister has ordered Chen Xuan and the prefect of Hangzhou to search for criminals on the charge of stealing in the plum garden, so as not to spread the word and create unnecessary suspicion."

Zhu Di nodded approvingly: "There are many things in the imperial court. It's better not to make the assassination of the imperial envoy known to the whole country. However, the matter still needs to be investigated."

He pondered for a while, and said: "Lian has informed Ji Gang of this matter, and told him to arrest him severely! You should be more careful, and..., Jin Yiwei's power is mainly concentrated in a corner of the capital, and Lian wants to do everything in the world. , but it’s a bit difficult, the flying dragon is only used to search for Jianwen, it’s overkill. Their whereabouts are all over the world, and they can just collect information from all sides for my use.”

Xia Xun was secretly happy when he heard that, Zhu Di expanded Feilong's power, and it would be more convenient for him to do things, Xia Xun quickly agreed.

Zhu Di glanced at him again, with a strange look in his eyes: "Lian Ji, what kind of reward do you want for Chi Zhong, Li Yifeng, Ren Juying, Zheng He and others to be promoted to a higher level? How about... I will give you a gold medal to avoid death, how?"

Xia Xun didn't pay attention to Zhu Di's eyes. No courtier could keep his eyes fixed on the emperor's expression. He was standing with his hands down. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It was finally time to ask for credit.

When the matter came to an end, Xia Xun was a little timid. He bite the bullet and bowed down, saying: "I want to ask the emperor to exchange a reward."

"another?"

The look on Zhu Di's face was even weirder: "I founded the country in the Ming Dynasty, even if it was General Xu Da's achievements, I was crowned king after death. Now, you are just the Duke of the state, and there is no way to get promoted. Lian really can't think of it. What else?" Is a reward more precious than a gold medal for avoiding death?"

Xia Xunqi said authentically: "I...ask Your Majesty to make a decree to grant a marriage for my minister. If..., this is the greatest gift for me."

"Marriage? Who do you want to marry?" Xia Xun's cheeks were a little hot, her heart was uneasy, she settled her mind, and said: "I want to marry the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, Princess Miaojin of the Xu family! Your Majesty, please help me."

"Okay! I've confirmed it. I'll issue the imperial decree tomorrow, and you'll be waiting for the imperial decree in the mansion!"

"what?"

Xia Xun raised his head abruptly, and looked at Zhu Di in astonishment, as if a flower had suddenly grown on his face. Zhu Di snorted, "What are you looking at?"

Xia Xun hurriedly lowered her head again, glanced at him secretly, and said, "Young minister..., I didn't see anything, the emperor said, are you sure?"

"Well, sure"

Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, then reminded: "Huangjian, what I'm talking about is Miss Xu Miaojin, the little princess of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

A hint of amusement flashed across Zhu Di's eyes, and he said, "That's right, there is only one girl waiting to be married in the Zhongshan Palace now, is there a second person?"

"*..., Xia Xun's face was a little dazed, he secretly reached out his hand, and pinched his thigh hard wow! It hurts, it doesn't look like it's sharp "But... sure?That's right? "

Zhu Di said nonchalantly: "You have worked so hard in Dongying, and I will let you go on a ten-day vacation, so you can go back to your residence to rest."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty"

Xia Xun was a little silly, standing there without a bottle Zhu Di asked: "What, is there anything else?"

"Ah! I'm fine, I'm leaving!"

Zhu Di opened a memorial, looked down pretendingly, with Xia Xun in the corner of his eyes, and when he bowed and exited the Jinshen Hall, he immediately raised his head and called out: "Mu En"

"The slave is here"

Mu En immediately flashed in from outside the door: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Zhu Di said: "Tell the queen to prepare a dowry for her sister, and there is going to be a wedding!"

When Mu En heard this, he also had question marks on his forehead, but he didn't dare to ask, he agreed inexplicably, and ran to the harem.

Time went back to three days ago, Kunning Palace.

Ordered the fu to enter the palace to greet the queen as usual, and Empress Xu also greeted them as usual. After asking about their family affairs, Empress Xu said: "You are all wives, and your husband is an official in the court. Friends get along well. Sometimes, men sometimes listen to what they say, and sometimes they don’t; while what husbands and wives say, as long as the wife is gentle and considerate, and the words are reasonable, most husbands will listen. I enshrine the emperor every day and advise him to put the people first. The country is the most important thing, and you should do the same to serve your husband. The ancients said: "There is a good wife in the family, and the man will not do things outside." This makes sense."

The orderers said one after another: "What the empress said is that the concubines must obey the teachings of the empress."

At this time, a court lady walked up to Empress Xu and whispered to her, "Madam, the princess has entered the palace and is waiting for you in the side hall."

After hearing this, Empress Xu said: "Okay, you all have your own things to do, so I won't keep you any longer."

The fufus hurriedly got up to pay their respects, and when the fugitives left, Empress Xu got up and rushed to the side hall. In the side hall, Ming'er's cheeks were as bright as pomegranate blossoms. I don't know if it was because she was walking too fast or for some reason. It was also shining brightly. She wandered back and forth in the hall, but refused to sit down.

Empress Xu walked into the side hall, saw the girl, and said with a smile: "Ming'er, you are here!"

"sister"

As soon as Xu Ming'er saw Empress Xu, she rushed to her and grabbed her arm: "Sister, I have something to ask you!"

Empress Xu pampered her nose, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my own sister, what can I ask for, as long as my sister can do it, can I help you?"

"Okay, I'm six." Xu Ming'er stopped talking, looked at the maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace, and ordered: "You all go out"

The maids and eunuchs hurriedly retreated, Empress Xu couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw her, her face became more serious, and she hurriedly asked, "Ming'er, what do you want my sister to do for you, isn't it... an unreasonable thing?"

"Sister, what are you talking about? Am I going to let you do something outrageous?"

Empress Xu smiled and said: "That's right, seeing how cautious you are, hehe. Well, as long as it's not against the law of the world or against the laws of the country, how can my sister not help my little sister? Say, what's the matter?"

"I want to get married!" Ming'er said openly and honestly: "If my sister agrees, my sister will marry! If my sister doesn't agree, my sister will become a monk! Sister, you choose"

Empress Xu suddenly understood, and said in surprise, "Who do you want to marry? Ah! Could it be..., could it be... or him?"

Ming'er's face was as red as a happy little red flower: "Well, it's him! My sister agrees, or does she not?

Time returns to the present again, Jinshen Palace.

While reviewing the memorial, Zhu Di shook his head and muttered: "It's useless to be a villain! It's useless to be a villain"

p: It's the 29th, friends, pour out the last monthly pass! @.
