Honghuang: I am an iron-eating beast, and I was overheard by Houtu

Chapter 892 The battle between father and son

Late at night, Jinling City.

The five emperors had already left, and Zhu Gaochi was sitting in the emperor's study reviewing the memorial. Even though it was late, he didn't rest, he didn't even eat dinner, and he was busy with things.

Now that the new dynasty has just been established, although his throne was established by the five emperors, the former officials of Jianwen and those with ulterior motives hidden in the dark will take into account the choice of the ancient holy master, and they are unlikely to do anything wrong again However, there are still a lot of things that need to be arranged as soon as possible, so that the imperial court can resume operation as quickly as possible and manage government affairs, otherwise it will be detrimental to the people.

"Your Majesty, would you like some porridge?" Zhu Gaochi's accompanying eunuch, now the chief eunuch of the palace, whispered to him.

Without turning his head, Zhu Gaochi continued to review the memorial and said, "Let's put it there first."

"Your majesty, if you don't drink it, then this porridge should be cold." The eunuch said.

"When it's cold, warm it up."

"But...it's already been heated five times, Your Majesty, I know that you care about state affairs, but you can't ignore your body, your body is the most important thing!" The eunuch advised Zhu Gaochi distressedly.

He grew up with Zhu Gaochi, and he is very aware of Zhu Gaochi's disposition, which is different from that fool Zhu Yunqi. This is a true benevolent monarch, tolerant of slaves, trusting his subordinates, and valuing the people. The only bad thing is his own body. It's too insignificant.

Hearing the eunuch's words, the brush in Zhu Gaochi's hand paused for a moment, then glanced at him and the porridge in his hand, hesitated for a moment, sighed, put down the brush, and said, "Then have a drink."

Hearing this, the eunuch quickly smiled and brought the porridge over: "Your Majesty, here, here you are."

"En." Zhu Gaochi hummed, took the porridge, finished it quickly, then handed the bowl back to the eunuch, picked up the pen again, and was about to continue reviewing the memorial, but at this moment, a shout came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here."

The emperor?
Yes, Zhu Gaochi has ascended the throne, and Zhu Di can't be the emperor, so he can only be the emperor.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi put down the pen in his hand again, stood up and said, "Please come in, the Supreme Emperor."

"Yes."

Soon, Zhu Di, who had changed into the clothes of the Supreme Emperor, came in. The eunuch knelt down and kowtowed, Zhu Gaochi also walked over, bowed to him, and respectfully said: "Father Emperor."

"Yeah." Zhu Di replied angrily with his hands on his hips.

My own throne was taken by this kid. I have never been an emperor in my life, so I just became the Supreme Emperor. Who can bear it?It is natural to see how the son in front of him is upset.

He went straight to Zhu Gaochi's place and sat down, glanced at the mountain-high pile of memorials on the table, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, there were so many things to do.Immediately, he looked at Zhu Gaochi again, and said to him: "Emperor, is this position comfortable?"

"Going back to my father, I feel comfortable doing something for the people of the world." Zhu Gaochi replied respectfully.

"Heh, I've already become the emperor, and I'm still so hypocritical. Come on, I'm not here to yin and yang you, but to ask you for an errand."

"Father is serious, father, please speak up."

Zhu Di sat upright, looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Beiyuan is about to move again. My spies sent back news that they have frequent exchanges between several tribes. Soon, the joint invasion intends to strike first and send troops to scare them before they come. In this way, you pass the decree to the Ministry of War and ask them to prepare 50 troops for you. I will go out in half a month and teach those gangs a lesson. Alien grandson!"

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaochi frowned.

50 troops?
"Why, you don't believe your father, afraid that I will rebel against you this time and take your throne?" Seeing Zhu Gaochi's frown, Zhu Di asked him with a cold face and a slight chill in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and explained: "That's not the case. The emperor's rebellion was persecuted by Jianwen at the beginning, and the sons thought they were filial to the emperor, and there was nothing wrong with him. The emperor would not do this."

Hearing what his son said, Zhu Di felt much better, and asked him, "Then why are you still hesitating?"

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips, and replied to Zhu Di: "Father, I have just ended the civil strife in Ming Dynasty, and it is still unstable, and even if there is a war, the soldiers, food and grass will be consumed too much, and the burden on the people will be too heavy. If we dispatch 50 yuan at this time The treasury simply cannot bear the large army's expedition to Mobei."

"Huh? You mean to let those foreigners conquer the Great Wall?" Zhu Di asked angrily.

"No, I have also received the information from the spies, and I have ordered General Tie Xuan to lead [-] troops to the Great Wall to guard against the enemy."

"One hundred thousand, what's the use of it? There's no way to get the other party down!"

"Although the attack is not enough, the defense is more than enough. This time, we have to endure for a while. After a few years, our Great Ming's national strength will be restored. Then we can send troops to win the victory without causing too much burden to the people. It is the best policy!" Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di.

"Hmph, a coward, if you do this, will my Daming's face still be lost?"

"Although we did not attack the enemy, but resisted the enemy, we will surely win in the future, and the battle must be conquered. My son thinks that this is not shameful."

Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, and changed his words: "You don't need 50, give me 30 troops, and I can still beat those foreign grandchildren to the ground."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "The burden of the 30 army is quite heavy for the current imperial court. It will not be able to carry it. It will take a few years."

"20 troops are enough."

"With a 20-strong army going out, the chances of winning are not high. If there is an accident, I will regret it unimaginably." Zhu Gaochi shook his head again.

"You!" Zhu Di quit, stood up and glared at Zhu Gaochi, and said to him: "You are so deadly in your calculations, how can you accomplish great things like this?"

Zhu Gaochi raised his head and said seriously: "It's a matter of great importance, and you can't be careful. Father, it's really not a good time to send troops rashly. It will overburden the people and reduce the number of troops sent. most."

"Ha, common people, I keep saying that for the common people, my Zhu family was born in rebellion, why, there is a saint?" Zhu Di laughed.

Zhu Gaochi straightened his face and said: "I am not a saint, but I have become the emperor, and I must be the emperor. I will do things upright in my life. God let me be the emperor for a month, and the emperor for a day. I will also be the emperor." Let the people in the world know that the person sitting in that position regards the world and all living beings more important than himself!"

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Di squinted his eyes, stared at him for a long time without saying a word, then suddenly laughed and said, "You are really a good emperor, no wonder your grandfather likes you, just not like me."

After speaking, Zhu Di shook his head and walked outside.

"My son contradicted my father, and I beg my father to forgive me. Please go slowly." Zhu Gaochi saluted Zhu Di and sent him away respectfully.

After Zhu Di left, Zhu Gaochi sighed and continued to review the memorial.

At the same time, in Tianting, Wutian, who had closed his eyes for a long time, finally opened his eyes, raised his hands, and began to mobilize all the luck and mana in his body to forcibly communicate with the heavens with the help of the number of days.

He wants to cut off the connection between Hongjun who is trapped in the chaos and the primordial dao, and then replace him to fit in with the dao!
