little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 106
Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Since the time of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the three major holidays of New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, and Winter Solstice have been set. New Year's Day here is also the most important Spring Festival in a year's festivals.

From the first day of the first day to the fifth day of the first day, on the fifth day after the end of the court, the monarch and the people celebrate the festival together.

From the evening of the New Year's Eve, the palace will post couplets and hang lanterns. The lights inside and outside are brightly lit. The wine and food in the palaces are lined up with bright lights and candles. Music, dance, acrobatics, and various operas are played. It is very lively.

After thanking the reward from Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo, who returned to Yonghe Palace, looked calm, but Ye He couldn't hide the ups and downs in his eyes.

"I said, isn't your father too abnormal?"

Ye He couldn't bear it anymore. These days he watched with cold eyes, everything from rewards to marriage gods was justified, but today even the Palace of Ciqing was rewarded at the imperial banquet. I understand, but just relying on the surprised, envious, or jealous eyes of the nobles and nobles in the Qianqing palace, but everyone knows that this reward is unusual.

For this reason, Ye He deliberately took a look at Concubine Zheng, who was sitting on the right hand of the emperor, her face...not to mention how exciting it was.

Zhu Changluo's smile was a bit bitter, "Anomaly is a monster, even you can see it."

Looking up at the starry sky, the stars are lined up, and the cold winter night wind is as cold as a knife.

It has been three months since I came back from Jinan without realizing it, and the last day of the 18th year of Wanli is about to pass in a few hours.

Now even the Ciqing Palace is given to me, what's the next step?Do you want to make yourself a prince?

Until now, I still haven't figured out why Wanli's attitude towards him has such a sudden 360-degree turn. I vaguely feel that it has something to do with that night in the execution room, but no matter how I think about it, there is no clue to find it. Make him very distressed.

But time has changed, and Zhu Changluo at this moment is no longer greedy and longing for a little bit of warmth from that person.

Right now, his wings are complete, and the only thing left is to fight the wind and rain. When he really flies to the sky one day, who else in the world can stop his progress!

There were bursts of firecrackers in the distance, Zhu Changluo came back to his senses, and smiled knowingly at Ye He.

"Ye He, shall we go to Gansu for a visit after the Chinese New Year?"

"Ok?"

"Take our Tiger Benwei, and go and level up Chali Ke!"

Ye He, who was originally absent-minded, immediately widened his eyes when he heard it, and was inexplicably surprised: "Really?"

Zhu Changluo smiled and turned his head to look at the sky without saying a word, while Ye He was left with his heart beating wildly, for fear that someone would repent.

There is a saying in the folk proverb: a sad day is a better year.In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of the first lunar month, and officials from the DPRK and China had already ended their annual leave and went to work, but the streets and alleys of the capital were still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.

Gu Xiancheng of Zheng's mansion was wearing a big cloak, standing in the courtyard and walking back and forth.

There was both anxiety and anticipation in his expression. It has been a month since he came back from Chuxiu Palace last time, and there has been no response to the three waves of pigeons he released so far, and he doesn't know what instructions the old man will have.

Recently, the emperor's love for Prince Rui has been seen by all. Thinking of the in-depth conversation with Zhu Changluo and He Xiangshan a few months ago, every time he thinks of this, it makes Gu Xiancheng sleepless. It is not impossible for the plan to go down the drain.

Suddenly a white shadow flew across the air, and the familiar cooing sound brought Gu Xiancheng back from his contemplation, and he was instantly overjoyed.

Waving his hand, the white shadow circled several times in the air, and finally landed on his hand with its wings folded.

Untied the small drum tied to the pigeon's leg, took out a piece of paper that was as thin as a cicada's wing, and couldn't wait to unfold it. There were not many words, but all of them were painted with iron and silver hooks, which penetrated the back of the paper, and it was undoubtedly the old man's own handwriting.

Gu Xiancheng turned around and went back to the room, carefully looked at the light over and over again.

When he put down the paper, there was an unbelievable inexplicable relief in his eyes.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed strangely, laughing at himself that he was really worrying unnecessarily... In the eyes of the old man, in the palm of his hand, there is no one in this world who is not under his control!
"You know what you're talking about?"

A familiar roar came from the Qianqing Palace. To the maids and eunuchs serving in the Qianqing Palace, the sound was like a tiger monster, which made everyone tremble with fear, trembling like leaves falling in the wind.

Huang Jinyuan's pale face was covered with sweat, one must know that since Prince Rui returned to the palace, the emperor hadn't lost such a big temper for a long time, and it was this young prince who caused the emperor to get angry.

"Father, please appease your anger first. There is a reason for my son to say this."

Zhu Changluo knelt on the ground with his eyelids downcast, and his thick long eyelashes cast a clear shadow like a crescent moon on his face.

Wanli stared at him. Ever since he discovered Zhu Changluo's true identity, it is not too much to describe this son whom he has treated so coldly all these years with the word navel-bitten regret, and all the rewards come from this.

Concubine Gong still hasn't improved, who knows that Wanli has been impatient with waiting, and he can't wait to pick her up from the sick bed immediately and ask her: Why did the child with low eyebrows become her son?

That beautiful and wild woman raised her long eyebrows and laughed wantonly at herself, as hot and dazzling as the sun at noon in midsummer.

Wanli's vigorous anger has gradually calmed down.

"Tell me, why do you insist on going to Gansu? Don't you know that I transferred Li Rusong here to lead troops to suppress the rebellion?"

The main hall was silent, only Zhu Changluo's clear voice echoed.

"Father, you should know that the area around Gansu is vast and sparsely populated. In the front there is the Helan Mountain controlling the mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world, and in the back there is the fortress of the four fortresses of the Guihua City. This kind of guy who doesn't know how to advance or retreat can't do without teaching him a lesson! I absolutely believe that once the heavenly soldiers arrive, the Lali Ke chickens and dogs will collapse, but our Daming... the price we will pay will be extremely high."

Zhu Changluo raised his head, his eyes were clear and peaceful, but his tone was very flat.

"Father, have you ever heard a word?"

Looking at these eyes, the inexplicable sense of familiarity struck again, Wanli was lost for a moment, and asked almost subconsciously: "What?"

"The main fighter may not be brave, and the main peacer may not be timid!"

The anger on Wanli's face had changed to one of surprise, and even Huang Jin pricked up his ears, listening seriously.

We must know that all the officials in the court, regardless of civil or military, rarely advocated a war with one voice when Lalike attacked the Ming army and killed Li Lianfang, the general soldier, but this little prince actually did the opposite. The speeches are eloquent, but they sound logical and meaningful.

"As far as I know, although Lalik is the leader of the Golden Family, King Khan, there are many tribes under him, and most of them do not obey his rule. Most of the tribes are extremely dependent on Gongshi, except Huochiluo and Huochiluo. Except for the two tribes of Bu Shitu, most of the other big and small tribes are not willing to be enemies with our Ming Dynasty. If we rashly send troops to fight, there will be catastrophe. beautiful."

Wanli sneered coldly: "You are right, but now that Charik and Huo Chiluo are colluding with each other to kill our officers and soldiers, is it possible to let them do nothing? How can I be so powerful?"

Zhu Changluo said bluntly: "I read the letter from Mencius and King Hui of Liang a few days ago: If you are clear enough to see the end of the autumn, but if you don't see the salary, what does the king agree with?"

Wanli's face changed suddenly, "Are you mocking me for my short-sightedness, only seeing the small things but not the big things?"

Huang Jin secretly complained, thinking that something bad was going to happen, who didn't know that the emperor was the most joyful, and the minister dared to say something unpleasant, either the court staff or the army, this little prince was too courageous, he dared to be so secretive in front of his face To satirize the emperor, isn't this just to die...

Zhu Changluo smiled slightly: "Father misunderstood my minister. I just think that those court ministers who are fighting the war only know how to sit at home and read books. One shot moves the whole body! Wisdom is like the father, how can you not know that there are more people who light fire and fire cannons at the court, and fewer people who have the overall situation in mind?"

This sentence has been thoroughly uttered into Wanli's heart, and he couldn't help attacking the case, "Well said! How could I not know! Governors from all over the country use their power to oppress generals, making them restrained, unable to spread, and only use him when they have something to do. .If the frontier general has meritorious service, the credit goes to the governor alone, but if something happens on the frontier, the responsibility belongs to the general!"

The Ming Dynasty has always used literature to drive martial arts, and it has long been a disaster.Looking at the many border wars in the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, many of them were provoked by the governors who were in charge of life and death. At this time, Wanli was able to point out the crux of the problem. How can Zhu Changluo not be impressed?
It all means that the dynasty began to die in Wanli, but the emperor who spoke generously in front of him is really the one recorded in history?

But knowing the pros and cons, why let it go and do nothing?

Zhu Changluo had such an impulse that he really wanted to ask this question, but he finally turned a corner.

"The two words of war, to put it bluntly, is to make the other party obedient, but there are many kinds of wars... If the minister has a way, it doesn't need to work hard, and it doesn't have to go far away to attack, but it can make the other party suffer so much and learn a lesson. Be obedient, what does your father think?"

Zhu Changluo's smile was as bright as the blue sky. Let's not talk about Wanli's expression, but Huang Jin's fat face was already shining brightly, and he was so excited.

Before Wanli could express his opinion, Huang Jin fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a loud voice: "Long live Lord Shengming, this old slave is trying to be bold, please accept the prince's idea."

Looking at Zhu Changluo who was kneeling on the ground, Wanli's eyes filled with inexplicable entangled emotions out of thin air.

"Speak... Tell me your plan and listen. If it works, I will follow you."

When he came out of the Qianqing Palace, it snowed all night and the whole palace was covered in silver, and the golden sunlight dazzled his eyes. Ye He saw Zhu Changluo walking from the golden light from a distance, and the bright smile on his face seemed to be brighter than the sky. The sun is even brighter several times.

Zhu Changluo, who hadn't walked a few steps, suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart, and a feeling of disgust rushed into his mind. This feeling has been felt several times since the New Year, and every time he just takes a short rest, he is like a good person.

Zhu Changluo knew why, but he didn't tell anyone, including Ye He.

It was night, Ye He rode Juechen and headed straight to Jinan with Zhu Changluo's warrant.

The next day, Lord Zheng Luo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly received an imperial edict.

After several months of preparation, the imperial decree that was originally thought to be sending troops to suppress the rebellion was finally issued, but the result left Zheng Shangshu and all the courtiers dumbfounded. The imperial decree clearly stated that there will be no troops temporarily!

As soon as the decree came out, there was a shock inside and outside the court.

But that's what the emperor meant, and the officials had no choice but to go to the cabinet.Even Shen Yiguan, who could not escape suspicion because of Li Yanhua's involvement, was shocked. After going to the palace overnight to meet the emperor, he brought back an even more shocking news.

The emperor said, this matter is left to Prince Rui to handle it with full authority, and no one else is allowed to intervene.

How can military affairs be trifling with, when the news spread, there was an uproar.

Even Li Rusong was a little unhappy. Li Qingqing went out once that night and came back at dawn. He ran to the study and talked to his father for a long time. The pride on the face, even the watery light in the eyes.

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Zheng sat alone facing the lamp.

Xiao Yinzi, who was standing by the side, saw coldly that the most powerful woman in the palace was as white as snow, but there was a bit of depression in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Suddenly, he ran into a small yellow gate and realized that he was the new apprentice of Huang Jin in Qianqing Palace. His name was Wang An, and he was extremely clever. grin.

Concubine Zheng put away her anger and snorted coldly, "But what's the matter with the emperor?"
