Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 728 Intent Annan

The main building complex of Dabaoen Temple has been completed. I heard that the emperor will come here to pay homage to the late emperor. Huang Shilang, Liu Yujue and others from the Ministry of Industry immediately organized a team to thoroughly clean the several main halls that have been completely completed, and the peripheral construction has also temporarily stopped. Mainly used for road cleaning, martial law, and field clearance.

Afterwards, a large number of servants from the imperial palace came to reinstall these halls, such as Buddhist altars, incense burners, cloth mantles, etc., all of them were checked, and then they withdrew from the main hall and waited outside. The convened eminent monks gathered in Dabaoen Temple, and sat in the Puhui Tuan in the splendid temple with golden walls. In front of them were Muyu and Zhongxin, each with a red cassock, and the treasures were solemn.

In the end, Zheng He and Fuguo Gong Yang Xu arrived together. I don’t know what Yang Xu said to Zheng Gonggong. Zheng Gonggong nodded and stood still outside the hall. The silk box entered the main hall alone, and came out after a while empty-handed.And all the windows and doors of this main hall, except for the main entrance, have been crucified by him, and an order has been issued in public that no one will be allowed to enter this main hall from now on, and anyone who violates it will be shot to death!

The servants and monks who waited outside were awe-inspiring, and felt strange in their hearts. They didn't know why such an upright matter of offering sacrifices to ancestors was so secretive, but since it involved the emperor, naturally no one dared to chew their tongues.

After Zhu Di set off at the Dabao Temple, he entered the main hall alone, the door was closed immediately, and there was no need for a person to accompany him inside. On the left and right of the door, there were Duke Fu and Eunuch Zheng standing there to guard the door.

Why so mysterious?Even Zheng He didn't know it very well. The only person who knew was Xia Xun. Standing at the door, listening to Fan's singing, he couldn't help feeling deeply moved.The people of the world who are thousands of miles away from the emperor, according to their own likes and dislikes, play up Zhu Di, either he is the emperor who is wise and martial, with perfect martial arts and martial arts, or he is a cruel, cruel and murderous tyrant, or Faint, mediocre, greedy and lustful, but who can really get a glimpse of the emperor's color, who can really understand him?

He has a criticized side and a commendable side. He is talented and general, comparable to Qin Huang, Han Wu, and far ahead of Tang Zong and Song Zu.He sent people to the West seven times, and personally led the army to conquer Mobei five times. He dredged the Grand Canal and connected the north-south artery, which played a pivotal role in promoting the economy; he conquered the northeast, southwest, and Annan; The "Yongle Dadian" that has never come since; he established the cabinet and influenced the political system all over the world.

When some people cover their eyes with a leaf, they only know how to talk about Zhu Di’s short-term purge of political opponents when he first came to the throne, and racked their brains to exaggerate and exaggerate on topics such as the method of killing, the scale of killing, women and brothels, and so on. When satisfying his curiosity, did anyone notice that Zhu Di made five expeditions to Mongolia, seven voyages to the West, dredged the Grand Canal, and built Beijing... His outstanding military and political achievements in the Northeast, Northwest, Annan, and oceans?

But some people think that any one of these huge projects and military operations alone would be a huge burden on any previous dynasty, and might even be forced to return to the country because of it. Inflicting a heavy economic burden on the country, what does this imply behind his strong ability in economic construction?

No!

In the 30th year of Hongwu, Gao Fuxing and Wang Jingangnu of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi revolted. More than [-] people participated in the rebellion. The founding general Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to suppress it. They fought fiercely for a year and lasted for more than ten years, but few people knew about it. However, it only happened in a part of Shandong Province, with less than [-] participants, mainly relying on the Shandong local army to suppress it. It took only two months from the uprising to the suppression of the Bailian Sect Tang Saier's uprising, but it was suppressed by the general public. Books get books, thus obliterating the countless achievements made during the second and tenth rounds of Yongle.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was luckier than Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were not many Confucian scholars who insisted on the orthodox concept of the son-in-law; the ministers at that time did not have the habit of scolding the emperor; Thus there is an opportunity to constantly tamper with history.History is unfair to Zhu Di!

Standing outside the hall, Xia Xun's imagination was running wild. He suddenly felt that this Emperor Yongle, who was forced by public opinion, could only hide here quietly, worshiped and repented silently to his biological mother, and poured out his grievances, sorrow and guilt. , It's really pitiful.

Zhu Di came out with sandalwood all over his body.

When he appeared in the sun, he was still the powerful and domineering emperor, with every look and gesture, he was full of the majesty of the emperor.Maybe he would be weak, sad, and weep when he knelt in front of his mother's spiritual throne in the temple, burned incense, and prayed silently, but when he appeared in front of others, he could only be the Son of Heaven, the Emperor Yongle.

"Walk with me!"

Zhu Di looked at Xia Xun, and only said a word.

Xia Xun followed behind, one monarch and one minister left, Zheng He still stood there, and gently closed the palace door.

From today, only the emperor can enter here.

Zhu Di stopped, and Xia Xun also stopped.

After a while, Zhu Di turned around slowly, stared at Xia Xun, and said slowly: "Shi Hong died of illness, and Mu Sheng and Zhang Fu are now in charge of the Annan War. I am not at ease, what do you think?"

Xia Xun had heard the folk rumors a long time ago, and today the emperor specially summoned him to see him. He knew that it was not as simple as just accompanying the emperor to sacrifice his mother. Somewhat surprised, he was stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that Mu Shengjiu has been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and he is familiar with geography. The son of Zhang Fu, a famous general, has also experienced wars in the army. Complement each other, the Annan war, the emperor need not worry."

Zhu Di laughed, assuming that Xia Xun had also heard the rumors, and the emperor's intentions were still undecided, and rumors spread among the people. This is a big taboo for a king, so he couldn't help but feel panic. Seeing himself asking now, he naturally couldn't Dare to recommend yourself.However, Xia Xun was telling the truth. Zhang Fu was invincible and invincible when he beat Annan. Later, Zhang Fu was the most feared person in Annan, and his color changed after hearing his name.

Zhu Di quickly said: "Soldiers, important matters of the country, they have little experience, and the Battle of Annan is not just a matter of military service, I am not very relieved to leave it to them."

Speaking of this, the meaning is already very clear, a minister should share the worries of the king, the emperor is no longer at ease, Xia Xun took the opportunity to take orders, Zhu Di must readily agree.If it is not good to recommend himself, Xia Xun can also take advantage of the situation and say: "You can choose another general in the court and go out of Zhen'an!" Then Zhu Di can also take advantage of the situation and choose him as commander-in-chief.

But Xia Xun knew Zhu Di's hint, but still didn't want to follow him.Whether Xia Xun was fighting against the Japanese in eastern Zhejiang or managing strategy in eastern Liaodong, in fact, his success depended to a large extent on his political foresight, and his military success was due to trickery.When it comes to Annan, Xia Xun doesn't think he can play better than Zhang Fu, even Mu Sheng, he is far behind.

It's not that Xia Xun underestimates himself, but that he can clearly recognize his own shortcomings. No one is an all-rounder, and he is even worse. Fighting kills people. If too many deaths are caused by his poor command, even if he ends up with He still won the victory, and he is the one who is honored. Who will pity those people who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers?If he is better at fighting than Zhang Fu, he can do his part. He is obviously not as good as others, so why bother to take credit for himself.

Therefore, Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, and still insisted: "Your Majesty, I have some familiarity with the British Duke, General Zhang Yu, and I know a little about Zhang Fu. I believe that Zhang Fu will live up to his reputation. Duke Cheng died of illness, Zhang Fu is temporarily taking the post of General Zhengyi. In order to boost the morale of the army, he must take some action. The emperor may wish to take a look. Maybe Zhang Fu will have good news to come back soon, so as to prove to the world that he is also the emperor. One of the famous generals under his command!"

Zhu Di was a little displeased when he heard that, but thought that Xia Xun declined on purpose, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.His son had just been born, and this trip would take at least another year or two, so he couldn't bear to go.However, those who are ministers and ministers share the worries of the king, don't you have this awareness yet? "Your father-in-law and the White Lotus Sect are ambiguous. In order to cover up, you killed the court officials without authorization. I have not dealt with such serious crimes. After your son was born, I made an exception and promoted him. I am very kind, and now I entrust you with a heavy responsibility." , but still push three times and four times!"

But when he thinks of the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Di will inevitably make a mistake: "Is it because of this that Yang Xu refuses to lead the army? Is he trying to avoid my doubts?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help feeling relieved, and said with a smile: "Wenxuan, what I mean is to ask you to sit in the township, and to tell you to go, that is, the employer is not suspicious, and you don't have to worry about it."

He turned around, folded his hands, and walked slowly: "I told you to go, but I actually have a plan. Before Shi Hong left, I told him: 'Don't raise chaos, don't play bandits, don't destroy the tomb, Don't harm crops, don't steal goods, don't plunder people and return their wives and daughters, don't kill and surrender, if there is anything like this, even if you have merits, you should be careful. . , to support one side, and then return to the teacher." "Actually, apart from wars, you will handle these matters better than Shihong.However, at that time, your strategy in Liaodong was at a critical juncture, and you couldn't escape.Actually..."

When Zhu Di said this, he suddenly murmured again, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak, Xia Xun felt a little strange: "The emperor is hesitating, is there anything else he can't order?"

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and looked at Xia Xun again, his gaze became hot: "Wenxuan, Annan, has been the hometown of China since the Qin Dynasty, and it was also part of the Annan Governor's Mansion during the Tang Dynasty. Jurisdiction, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains were in chaos, Annan took the opportunity to stand on his own, the Song Dynasty was unable to recover Annan, so he let him stand on his own, and when the Yuan Dynasty entered, the invincible Mongolian army suffered consecutive defeats in Annan, and had to stop there! "

Xia Xun's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I have received accurate information that the Chen family in Annan has been extinct! I sent troops to Annan to bring back the Li family, and continue to extinct, so as to fulfill the responsibility of the suzerain. But the Chen family is extinct. 48 prefectures, 180 counties, more than [-] million households, who will rule at the time of introduction? After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Jiaozhi was reduced to barbarians. It has been more than [-] years so far, and it is hopeful that it will return to the territory! Wenxuan, Don't you want this achievement of breaking the border and breaking the ground?"
