I want to be a grandson

Chapter 572 White Lies
"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, with a smile on his eyes, he looked straight at everyone...

The civil servants all hesitated, not knowing how to answer at this moment.

Obviously, it is inappropriate to include Xiaoliuqiu in the territory of Ming Dynasty from the point of view of benevolence and benevolence, but there is no problem from the point of view of domineering!
Anyway, it is a piece of land without an owner, and no vassal state dares to protest!
Qu Tao saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of military affairs. Shouldn't the generals of the five armies' governor's mansion discuss it?"

Although he said this, his eyes drifted to the civil servants.

Ru Xun felt a stagnation in her chest. If this matter were to be discussed by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies without the civil officials, it would definitely be the establishment of prefectures and counties!
It is the duty of the generals to expand the territory and lead the troops to fight.

They are worried that they have no place to use their troops!

"Your Majesty, after all, Little Liuqiu is one of the indisputable countries listed by the Supreme Emperor..." There was really no other way, so I had to move out of the ancestral system.

"Well, I know about this."

Facing everyone's eyes, Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "I have lunch at the Dashan Hall..."

"Uh……"

Everyone suddenly felt like punching the air.

After arguing for a long time, the Supreme Emperor has agreed, and it seems that this matter cannot be stopped...

"Since that's the case, then I agree with the establishment of prefectures and counties..." Ru Yuan could only salute.

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister also agrees..."

"..."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhu Yunxi ordered: "Well, from today onwards, the Ryukyu Mansion will be established in Xiaoliuqiu. Since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the name will also be changed. Let's call it Ryukyu for now.

The Secretary of General Administration drafted a decree to announce to the world. As for the division of counties, you six ministries will discuss it again. "

"Yes, I will obey!"

"Qi Tai, submit the list of officials that your Ministry of Officials intends to send to you."

"Yes, I obey." Qi Tai saluted.

Zhu Yunxi left Wenhua Hall, and drove back to Jinshen Hall in a sedan chair.

Sheng Yong and Geng Rui left the palace because they had no other errands in the palace.

However, Qu Tao and Zhang Fu also served as guards in the palace, so they followed the sedan chair on the snowy ground, especially Zhang Fu, who did not dare to breathe when walking, for fear of offending His Majesty.

Although the imperial court was planning to set up prefectures and counties in Ryukyu and bring them into the territory of Ming Dynasty, the crime of sending troops without authorization has not yet been revealed!
Entering the side hall of Jinshen Hall, Zhu Yunxi first warmed his hands at the stove, and was blown by the cold wind in winter, it was really bitingly cold.

Zhang Fu followed behind and knelt down as soon as he entered the hall, "Your Majesty knows my mistake, please punish me."

"Where did you go wrong?" Zhu Yunxie asked without looking back.

"Subordinates... sent troops to attack without His Majesty's order, which is not in line with the imperial court system..."

Zhang Fu's face was flushed, and he stammered: "Because of my subordinate's recklessness, let Your Majesty bear the responsibility...Your Majesty really deserves to die!"

At this time, Zhang Fu felt very regretful!

What he regrets is not that he sent troops without being transferred, because if he chooses again, he will still do that!
I can wait, but the captive people cannot wait!

But by doing this myself, His Majesty will bear the reputation of violating the ancestral system...

Of course he knew that Zhu Yunxi hurriedly went to see the Supreme Emperor, besides reporting this incident, he was also trying to save his own life...

Because only the Supreme Emperor agrees with this matter, His Majesty will not be difficult to do...

His Majesty treated him so kindly and loved him so much, which not only moved him, but also made him feel very guilty...

Zhu Yunxi turned around and sat down on the chair, and said, "You can do it, you can destroy a country with thousands of troops, which can almost be compared with the great achievements of Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty in destroying a country by one person."

"Staying by your side, do you feel that you are inferior? Tell me, how should I add an official to you?"

Historically, in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance, as the main envoy, was ordered to go to Tianzhu with his deputy Jiang Shiren. This is his second mission to Tianzhu.

But this time his luck was very bad. Before the delegation of more than 30 people arrived, the king of Tianzhu died, and there were riots in Tianzhu.

Alona followed the mentality of "the friend of the enemy is also the enemy", not only sent more than a thousand soldiers to attack the Tang Mission,

How can more than 30 people be the opponent of thousands of people, so Wang Xuance's mission was arrested by them.

Later, Wang Xuance took Jiang Shiren to take advantage of the night to escape from the trap, and escaped from Tianzhu with the help of Serodite's cronies.

It is estimated that Wang Xuance felt that the Tang mission was under siege, he was imprisoned, his face was lost, and his dignity was demolished, so he didn't go directly back to the Tang to rescue the soldiers, but ran all the way to the west of Tubo.

After Wang Xuance arrived at the Tubo border, he immediately sent a document to Songtsen Gampo to borrow troops. In the end, Tubo supported Wang Xuance with [-] elite soldiers, and Nibala assisted [-] cavalry.

The final result was to wipe out the most powerful Zhong Tianzhu, and frightened the four Tianzhus from east, west, north and south to bow their heads and surrender!

Zhang Fu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for it. Being able to serve His Majesty is a blessing for several lifetimes. I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me... ..."

Since Wang Xuance was mentioned, how could Zhang Fu not know about this fierce man!
Don't look at the fact that what he did seems to be fierce, but that's because Tianzhu is divided into five countries, east, west, north, south, and middle, and Zhong Tianzhu is just the most powerful of them...

So his record is not blown out of the entire Tianzhu in history.

And even though this petty official brought back more than 1 captives, he was only a Chaosan doctor who was awarded the fifth rank by Tang Taizong, a proper petty official...

Wang Xuance has been treated like this, and he is still guilty, so how dare he take credit for it!

Zhu Yunxie glared at him, and said angrily: "You still know you are wrong! I asked you to set up the Penghu Guard, originally to let you practice and practice, but you are good, you will make such a big basket for me as soon as you leave the capital!"

"They were right in what they said in the Wenhua Palace just now. You don't deserve to beheaded for disobeying orders and dispatching troops and horses without authorization!"

"You are commanding Daming's soldiers and horses, and you are happy to charge into the battle, but what will the Western countries think when they know this? In the future, they will probably have to fear Daming's swordsmen!"

"Your Majesty knows your mistake, please punish me..."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and said, "Don't think that you have made a lot of credit this time, let me tell you, there is no credit! Don't ask for credit in front of me!"

"Subordinates...subordinates dare not..."

"A three-month salary penalty is shameful! Go home and think about the past behind closed doors!"

"Um……"

Zhang Fu was taken aback, and couldn't help but raised his head, and said in disbelief, "This... is this the end?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was so annoyed that he wanted to slap his own mouth!

"I still have a board here, and a torture stick, which one do you like? If you still don't like it, go to prison, I guarantee you will remember it deeply!"

"Uh, no need, no need, the subordinates don't like it, so the subordinates resign..."

While saluting, he hurriedly got up and hurriedly retreated outside the hall.

After exiting the main hall, I heard a comment in my ear, "This idiot! You will definitely cause trouble for me!"

Standing outside the hall, Zhang Fu looked up at the sky. Even though the sky was dark and the cold wind was howling, the sky was so blue in his eyes, and the wind was so soft...

Even the snowflakes falling on the neck are so warm and pleasant...

This level... I have passed it?
He still can't believe it until now.

But no matter what, His Majesty has already punished him, so it means that this matter is over!

Alas, the emperor's kindness is so great, you should repay it with your life!
He raised his foot and walked outside the palace gate, and his footsteps became much lighter...

In the side hall, Qu Tao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you really have a preference for Zhang Fu. He has only been paid a fine salary for three months, and he must be jumping for joy..."

Zhu Yunxi said: "From the moment he sent troops to attack Ryukyu until now, he must know his guilt. He must have been worried these days. The courtiers impeached him, let him know the seriousness, and just know how serious it is."

"Besides, after all, the imperial court wants to include Ryukyu in its territory, so he is considered meritorious, and the punishment is too severe to justify it."

"Your Majesty still deliberately shields him, otherwise it would not be so easy, just the impeachment of officials can make him burnt out."

Zhang Fu was safe, and Qu Tao was also sincerely happy for him.

It is even more gratifying for His Majesty to protect love.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, "This kid is quite frightened, let him go home to rest and calm down."

He added: "Send someone to tell Ma He about this matter. He is in the West, so he can deal with it."

"Yes, I obey!"

……

When Zhang Fu returned home, he saw his mother holding a cotton coat and going to the main hall from the porch.

"Fu'er! Why are you back?! Oh, why don't you say hello when you come back! It's good to write a letter!"

Seeing her son, Wang said in surprise.

"Uh, the baby is in a hurry when I come back, I don't have time to write a letter..."

"It's snowing outside, come in quickly, your father has also returned from Beiping Mansion, go and pay your respects to your father!"

When Zhang Fu walked to the entrance of the main hall, he saw his father Zhang Yu sitting on a chair, who had returned from Beiping Mansion at some point.

After saluting and greeting, Zhang Fucai asked after a while, "Father, why are you back? Don't those Tartars like to harass Daming in winter? You are not on the border in Beiping..."

Zhang Yu frowned, looking a little irritable, "Why, I can't come back if you can come back? This is my home, and it's not your turn to make decisions!"

"Uh... kid, don't you care about your father?"

"I have asked the court for leave, and I will spend this year at home, and I will go back in the spring!"

Zhang Fu didn't dare to touch his bad luck again, and hurriedly said: "That's great, my father is far away at the border, and this year I finally have the opportunity to spend a good year at home!"

"Well, how about you, how is your errand going? I heard that you were ordered to set up the Penghu Guard. Is this done?"

"Uh, hehe, it's all over, Dad, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I'll let someone cook it..." As he said that, he was about to go out, as if he wanted to order someone to make a fuss.

Mrs. Wang quickly pulled him back and said, "I don't even look at the time, your father has already eaten, and you, have you eaten?"

Being reminded at this moment, Zhang Fu suddenly felt that his stomach was empty.

There was indeed a rich broth prepared in the Wenhua Palace, but at that time he was still a guilty body, and the civil servants yelled that he almost scraped him off,
And His Majesty will take the blame for him...

Under the circumstances at that time, how could he know that he was hungry, how could he still eat!
So I just ate a few bites.

But in front of his parents, he didn't want to worry them, so he said: "My son also ate it. In the morning, we discussed matters in the palace. The palace prepared a meal. My son ate with several generals and officials from the six ministries."

"I'll talk to my son for a while, you avoid it for a while." Zhang Yu said to Wang Shi.

"Okay, then you two have a good chat, and neither of you is allowed to get angry, it's Chinese New Year..."

Mrs. Wang knew that her husband seemed to be in a bad mood, so she quickly reminded her, and winked at Zhang Fu, telling him to be careful, before turning around and leaving.

Zhang Yu took a sip of tea, cleared his mind and said, "His Royal Highness Yan wants to tell you about a marriage. He is the princess of His Royal Highness Jin. I declined."

"..."

Today's mood and thoughts have been in a tense atmosphere. Zhang Fu didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it, he immediately widened his eyes.

"A matter of marriage... princess, this..."

"Why, you still want to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, but you can't agree!"

"No, no!" Zhang Fu hurriedly denied it: "My child was just a little surprised for a while, father, why would His Royal Highness Yan want to talk about marriage with my child?"

Zhang Yu glared at him, didn't answer a word, picked up the teacup and turned his head aside, as if saying one more word to a stupid person would insult his IQ...

Zhang Fu felt embarrassed, and gradually lost the taste of it...

"Father, how can the child be worthy of His Royal Highness the princess, let alone climb the dragon and the phoenix, father, you are good, if you really agree, it will be troublesome..."

Zhang Fu understands that he is His Majesty's confidant, if the marriage is arranged by a direct vassal king, then everyone knows that he has an extraordinary relationship with this vassal king...

This is obviously being wooed by others, eating inside and outside!

How will I deal with myself in the future?

Will His Majesty still trust himself so much?
Zhang Fu also knew how difficult it is to reject King Yan, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, father!"

"Well, don't mention this matter again, and no one is allowed to say it!"

"Yes, the child understands, please rest assured, father!"

Seeing that his son was not too stupid to be cured, Zhang Yu's face softened a little.

Thinking back on how I rejected Zhu Di that day, how I walked out of Yan Wang's mansion, I still feel a little dazed when I think about it now.

Of course he knows the stakes here, but it takes a lot of courage to put down his face and refuse...

Even though it's hard to say, even though I've been looked down upon by other generals, it's all worth it!
After all, since I "rejected" King Yan's kindness, it is normal for others to feel displeased and treat myself as an outsider...

After all, there was no worse result.

Zhang Yu instructed: "Since you're back, take a look at what's still missing at home, go out and buy it tomorrow, and if you don't buy it, it will be too late...

And the old days in Beijing, I have to go and see it after Chinese New Year..."

"Uh, Dad..." Zhang Fu felt pain in his heart at this moment.

"What's the matter? You're not happy yet!"

"No...uh, my son is following orders this time, His Majesty has asked me to...study hard..."

The originally stern face immediately changed into joy and excitement, "Oh, your majesty expects a lot from you! You don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just don't worry about all of them! Just study hard! You can't live up to the grace of God!"

"Yes, the child obeys!"

Zhang Fu let out a deep breath, and passed another level...

This is a white lie, right?
