Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 377 375 - What bloodbath?
While Du Sheng was busy recording everything that happened in Daming into a letter and sending it to Annan Li Jisuo, Zhu Gaoxu went directly to the palace that afternoon.

Along the way, from time to time, eunuchs and court ladies bowed down to meet His Highness the King of Han.

However, Zhu Gaoxu's arrogance didn't pay attention to anyone, and he strode directly towards Zhu Di's place.

His steps were swift and fast, and the aura of a general who belonged to a hundred battles was revealed from his whole body, which made many people feel intimidated. Zhu Gaoxu was stopped by Wang Yan until he reached the door of the study.

And Zhu Gaoxu, who has been ignoring others with cold eyes, showed a smile on his face when he saw Wang Yan, and politely stepped forward to punch Wang Yan to show his closeness, and then asked Wang Yan to report, while he stood obediently Waiting at the door for Zhu Di's summons.

Soon.

Zhu Di's voice sounded in the study: "Let that guy in."

Zhu Gaoxu outside the door clearly knew that Zhu Di was not talking to him, and also knew that Zhu Di couldn't see him, but instinctively stood up straight immediately.

After Wang Yan came out to let him in, Zhu Gaoxu grinned outside the door, winked his eyes, let the muscles on his face relax, then bowed slightly, and walked into the study with a bright smile .

"Father, my son is here to see you."

Zhu Di was processing the memorial at the moment, without raising his eyes, he was just busy reading the memorial. After Zhu Di thought about how to give a reply, he wrote the words of the reply on the memorial, and threw it into the memorial. Among the high piles of memorials.

He threw down his pen and rubbed his wrist irritably.

In fact, he knows that he is not a person who is particularly patient in dealing with these miscellaneous things. Although he does not find it difficult to deal with them, he prefers the unfettered life in Mobei from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that he hasn't been the emperor for a long time now, even if he is impatient, he still has to deal with these political affairs patiently, and his father Zhu Yuanzhang, a workaholic, is in front of him, even if he wants to give up the pick, he is too embarrassed to let go.

But this is obviously difficult for Zhu Di. He has been thinking about the cabinet recently, thinking of raising the rank of the cabinet bachelor, setting it as a permanent job, and letting the cabinet bachelor help him deal with these things later. It's time to think about Mobei's affairs.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu took the tea from the maid, walked to Zhu Di's desk with it himself, and handed it to Zhu Di respectfully.

Zhu Di took a sip and put it on the table. Then he tilted his body slightly, leaned against the pillow, found a comfortable position, and squinted his eyes to look at Zhu Gaoxu.

"It's okay to be courteous, rape or steal, tell me, what kind of crap are you holding back?" Zhu Di said angrily.

"Father, from what you said, it seems that the son has nothing to do." Zhu Gaoxu said unwillingly.

"Ah."

Zhu Di was surprised: "This mighty King of Han can talk to me about serious matters? Come, come, tell me, are you talking about dredging the Linqing Canal, or how the Water Division should supervise the canal. "

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback.

Zhu Diba smacked his mouth, and said inhumanely: "It's not this, is it Shanxi immigrants, or resettlement and production recovery after immigration?"

"No? Then you can't be Lao Tzu talking about "Yongle Dadian", right? You are not a student, so you can say something about it?"

This machine gun-like remark directly turned Zhu Gaoxu's face black.

Zhu Di snorted angrily and said, "As long as you pay more attention to these things, you can make me worry less."

To be honest, Zhu Di really likes Zhu Gaoxu. He is brave in battle and dares to fight. He is very much like him in his twenties. At that time, when he first arrived in Beiping, he either took soldiers and horses to patrol the border from time to time, or cooperated with the generals of the Northern Expedition. Mongolia, but no one knows that he once deeply envied Zhu Biao in his heart.

The appearance of the elder brother whom he respected a lot, being able to stay in the capital to discuss political affairs with his father was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he never forgot it for many years.

It's a pity that, as the prince of the vassal, he never had the opportunity to discuss any internal affairs with his father.

But fortunately, now that he is on the throne, he has the opportunity to discuss internal affairs with his son.

But...his son was beyond words.

The boss can discuss political affairs with him, but the boss is fat, walking two steps is like dying of breathlessness, and he doesn't have the temperament of Zhu Biao at that time, so Zhu Di is too lazy to bother the boss. Even if there are any political matters that need to be discussed, they will be sent to the East Palace, and sent back after the boss has an opinion.

Then his second son, whom he had high hopes for, was a good-looking talent, but his second son was only thinking about military affairs, and he was annoyed by looking at political affairs. Asking him to give an opinion was as straight-minded as it was, no matter how complicated it was. On the second child, the second child can also simply mess around.

What is the meaning of this.

Zhu Di felt very sorry about this.

He even thought that it would be impossible in the future, and try the feeling of father and son discussing internal affairs on Zhen Wu. Anyway, the son-in-law is half a son, so he can always talk to comfort his heart.

Naturally, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know Zhu Di's thoughts. Even if he knew, according to Zhu Gaoxu's temperament, he might not have the patience to delve into internal affairs. At this time, seeing that Zhu Di looked down on him, he couldn't help but said angrily: "My son didn't say these things, But my son's visit here is indeed a serious matter, and he came here for Annan's affairs."

Annan?

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then sat up slightly the next moment, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Don't meddle in Annan's affairs, I have my own arrangements."

"Father, what do you mean meddling indiscriminately? You should at least listen to your son's opinion before you say whether you meddled indiscriminately." Zhu Gaoxu said aggrievedly.

"That's fine, tell me." Zhu Di became a little interested.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu told Zhu Di his thoughts in detail.

After Zhu Di listened, he thought deeply for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but there are many uncertain factors, and it is too troublesome, so it is unnecessary."

"Father, although it is troublesome, my son has the confidence to handle this matter well. Besides, we don't need to spend a single soldier, and we don't need to waste money and food. This will save us a lot of money. Father, you say, Isn’t it a good thing for our money to be used to dredge the canal, the "Yongle Dadian" or immigration." Zhu Gaoxu said anxiously.

When Zhu Di heard this, his heart to reject Zhu Gaoxu was shaken.

No way, no matter how strong Zhu Yuanzhang left behind, he and Zhu Yunqi couldn’t stand up to him and Zhu Yunqi, especially Zhu Yunqi made too many. Of course, he has part of the reason for this, but who let Zhu Yunqi beat him with a mere 60 soldiers? , and dispatched an army of [-] to [-] each time.

This man eats horse chews, no matter how rich his family is, he can't bear it.

But at the next moment, Zhu Di still shook his head. He had already arranged this matter, and he had already decided on the script with Zhen Wu.

But Zhu Gaoxu refused to let go, and showed his posture when he was grinding Zhu Di to ask Tiance to defend him. Zhu Di immediately felt a headache when he saw it.

……

Three days later, Zhen Wu finally arrived in the capital with Chen Tianping and others.

Chen Tianping's face was full of joy, looking around to appreciate the flowers and bustle of Daming, but Pei Boqi was a little unmotivated at the moment, because Pei Boqi and Zhen Wu had a detailed discussion the day before.

This time he had no choice but to agree to Zhen Wu's many excessive demands, and then Zhen Wu promised to speak for them after seeing Zhu Di, and promised that Daming would send troops to help them restore the country.

Pei Boqi knew that after he agreed to those conditions, even though he still belonged to the Chen Kingdom in name after Annan was restored, most of the actual rights would be transferred to Daming. He didn't know if his decision was right, I have been wondering whether he will become a sinner in Annan's history.

Zhen Wu saw Pei Boqi's worry, and generously offered comfort: "Mr. Pei, you don't need to be like this. You have also seen the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty along the way. I can guarantee that Annan will be like Daming in the future. The people of Annan and our Daming Ming people are as close as brothers."

Hearing this, Pei Boqi nodded in relief.

Zhen Wu admired this old guy a little these days, not only his knowledge is good, his loyalty is also commendable, it's just a pity.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Chen, I will take you to find a place to live first, and you should also settle down a little bit. I will take you to the hall to face the saint tomorrow." Zhen Wu said to Pei Boqi and the two.

The two are thankful.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu helped them find a place to live, and then left, taking Cheng Liang and others back to his home.

However, when he just arrived home, he received a message.

Huang Zhong returned to Beijing three days ago, and went to Han Wang's mansion that day, and Han Wang met Du Sheng that day, and went to the palace in the afternoon, stayed in the palace for three consecutive days, and never returned.

Zhen Wu's heart skipped a beat.

I began to wonder if Zhu Gaoxu would be resentful.

He had expected that Huang Zhong would come back early to report the letter, but he was not worried. After all, Zhu Di had already written the script, and he was just cooperating with Zhu Di according to Zhu Di's design, but now he heard that Zhu Gaoxu stayed three days in a row In the palace, I feel a little uneasy.

He has seen the way Zhu Gaoxu tortured Zhu Di. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the same as when Xiao Liu tortured him. It bothers people's head and hurts.

Zhen Wu couldn't help muttering: "Zhu Di won't lose the chain again in this matter."

He immediately wanted to go to the palace to inquire first, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Today he brought Chen Tianping and others into the capital, and he couldn't escape the eyes of some people. After Zhu Di acted, it was inevitable that people would suspect that he and Zhu Di had discussed it long ago.

This is not very good.

After all, Zhu Di's every move represents the Ming Dynasty, and the opinions of the court officials are still unclear, and the water is still not muddy. Zhu Di, the emperor's opinion, cannot be figured out in advance.

In the end, Zhen Wu took a deep breath, put the matter aside for the time being, and turned to gossip with Zhang Yuqing.

……

Time flies, and the morning comes again in a blink of an eye.

Zhen Wu got up early that day, served by Zhu Yuying, had a meal, put on court clothes, and rode towards the palace.

His home is not far from the palace, but when Zhen Wu arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already many officials waiting near the gate of the palace.

After seeing Zhen Wu, many officials came to say hello. Zhen Wu said goodbye to them one by one, and then came to the front of all the officials.

When he got to the front, Zhen Wu found that Zhang Yu was also there.

This made Zhen Wu happy. To be honest, he hadn't seen Zhang Yu for a long time, and he also heard that Zhang Yu suddenly contracted a serious illness last winter. At least come early to attend the court meeting.

"Why do you think of going to court today?" Zhen Wu came over and greeted Zhang Yu with a smile.

After seeing Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu also had a smile on his old face. He smiled and pointed at Zhen Wu, "You know what to ask."

"Yo." Zhen Wu leaned over and whispered in Zhang Yu's ear, "You know?"

Zhang Yu nodded, and also said softly: "Your Majesty said something before, but I don't know the details, but let me pay attention to your movements. No, I know you came back yesterday, so I'm here to join in the fun."

Zhen Wu nodded, which reassured him a lot.

This is also what it should mean. Since Zhu Di wants to discuss the matter of conquering Annan and the matter of Chen Tianping in the court, although he wants to be a vanguard, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, people whom Zhu Di especially trusts, It is impossible not to know what he meant.

With the backing of people like Zhang Yu, Zhen Wu became more confident about what happened today.

At this time, Zhu Neng also came over, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed. Speaking of which, since the end of Jing Nan, the three of them got together less and less.

Afterwards, the three chatted.

Soon, when the time came, the door of the palace opened, and Zhen Wu and others walked in one after another.

After everyone stood up in the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di walked into the Fengtian Hall surrounded by guards in brocade clothes, eunuchs and court ladies, and then sat on the throne safely.

All the ministers shouted 'long live', and when the etiquette was over, the court meeting officially began.

In the first half, there is nothing about Zhen Wu. It is all internal affairs that need to be discussed at the court meeting. Some of them involve disputes between several departments. Zhen Wu is not interested in these, so he half-closed his eyes and was in a daze.

The military officers and ministers behind Zhen Wu basically followed suit. They either didn't understand these things, or even if someone understood them, they didn't think it had much to do with them and didn't take it to heart.

Wait until these things are discussed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhen Wu immediately stood up and said, "I have something important to announce."

After finishing speaking, he took out the memorial he had written long ago and handed it to the eunuch who passed the memorial, and then said loudly in the hall: "Chen Tianping, a son of the Chen family in Annan, wants to sue the father and son of the Hu family in Annan for usurping the throne. Slaughtering the whole family of the Chen family, the crime is heinous, and after committing the crime, I am afraid that my Ming Dynasty will blame me, deliberately fabricate lies, deceive your majesty, and seek the canonization of the throne, and now I am at large in Annan, and there is no one to rule. The loss caused people to ridicule, and I dared to ask for an order to lead the king's division, step down to the safety of the Nanhu family, wash these daring thieves with blood, and restore Nanyang to a bright future."

Those words were like a stone dropped into calm water.

Not only did the civil servants who didn't know about it all scream in surprise, even the drowsy military officers looked at Zhen Wu who was standing in the middle of the court hall.

What flattened?
What bloodbath?
This is not the spirit!
