Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Guo An chuckled directly and said, "Master, just do whatever you want. Anyway, His Royal Highness is responsible for the bank."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

"Monk understands!"

Monk Dao Yan nodded slightly, his eyes shining brightly.

Guo An was really relieved to hand over the bank to Monk Daoyan.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, perhaps no one knew better than him how valuable this kind-hearted old monk was. Those merchants, gentry, and even the officials of the Ming Dynasty would not be the opponent of this old monk.

The most important thing is that this old monk doesn't have much ambition!

The weather in the capital gradually became hotter, and Guo An began to enter Xia Juan's state.

I thought that after pushing Monk Daoyan out, he could relax for a while.

However, it hasn’t been a few days yet.

Zhu Gaochi came to the door with a serious face.

Guo An was stunned, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, Mr. Du, who was offering wine at the academy, has passed away!"

"what?"

Guo An was shocked.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Luo Fuzi has also passed away!"

"what?"

Guo An was surprised again.

"Your Highness, how did these two people die?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, don't worry, both teachers have reached their age and passed away peacefully!"

"That's good!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"It's a pity that in the past two years since we came to the capital, we have been busy with various things and haven't had much correspondence with Duke Du and Duke Luo.

Unexpectedly, the two of them went so early..."

"..."

Zhu Gaochi was speechless. Even when you were in Beiping Mansion, you didn't seem to talk much with Du Gong and Luo Fuzi.

Guo An asked again: "Do these two people have any other wishes?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly and said, "Teacher, Du Gong has always been carefree, and his family has already made arrangements in the past few years.

As for Luo Fuzi, his long-cherished wish has been to write and publish books.

And these, the shops under Prince Yan’s Mansion have already published them for him..."

"That's good!"

Guo An nodded slightly again.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Teacher, originally the academy's wine-offering was Mr. Du, and the businessman was Master Daoyan.

Now, one of these two has left, and the other has come to the capital! I don’t know who can offer wine and oversee the affairs of the academy? "

"This……"

Guo An couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty, is this your Majesty's question?"

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Zhu Gaochi asked with some confusion.

Guo An said: "Your Highness, if Your Majesty has no candidate for this matter, then His Majesty King Yan will appoint him!"

"King Yan?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"It's because I'm being too lenient!"

Guo An chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness has feelings for the academy. This is understandable!"

"Thank you teacher!"

Zhu Gaochi followed Guo An's suggestion and did not interfere in the affairs of Peking Academy again.

Zhu Di did not directly send someone to appoint him.

after all.

Now, there is King Yan in Beiping Mansion.

Moreover, in the final analysis, Peking Academy is just a private academy!

……

this year.

There seems to be a lot going on in Ming Dynasty.

The incident between Du Qi and Luo Guanzhong has not passed long.

Then a group of envoys came from the north!

Everyone in the Tatar mission looked embarrassed. The first time they saw Zhu Di, they knelt down and howled, crying to beg for surrender!

Xu Huizu angrily rebuked: "Humph, you thieves can fight whenever they want and surrender whenever they want. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

The Tatar envoy Ma Erhazan glanced at Zhu Di, who had an indifferent face, and hurriedly cried: "I would like to ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor to tell you that the foreign minister Tatars really can't survive. This time they are begging for surrender sincerely." !”

"Oh?"

Zhu Di smiled softly and asked with a gentle face: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you and the northern Mongols have been capricious. How can I trust you?"

Ma'erhazan cried and cried: "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, even the foreign ministers dare not hide the matter until now.

If the foreign ministers and other Tatars do not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the foreign ministers’ Tatar tribe will be exterminated! " "Um? "

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and others couldn't help but be stunned.

You must know that the Tatars dared to confront the Ming Dynasty before, not because they were overestimating their capabilities, but because the Tatars are also a large tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Zhu Di's personal conquest only wiped out the largest tribe among them, which made the Tatars somewhat energetic, but it did not reach the point of annihilation.

Xu Huizu was surprised and said: "Tell me carefully, if you dare to deceive His Majesty, we will drag you out, cut you into pieces, and then feed you to wild dogs!"

The horse trembled and hurriedly explained: "His Majesty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, clearly knows that since last year, we, the Tatars, have been hit by white snow, managed to survive the winter, and suffered from locust plague again.

The horses, cattle and sheep, which had been hungry all winter, had not yet had enough to eat. The green grass on the entire prairie was completely eaten by those terrifying locusts.

I, the Tatar, have been seriously injured..."

As he spoke, for fear that Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and others would not believe it, Ma'er Hazan continued: "And the hateful Waza people in the north also took advantage of the situation, plundered my Tatar tribe, killed my Tatar tribe, and robbed my Tatar tribe. We, the Tatars, suffered heavy losses in terms of horses, cattle, and sheep.

And the most terrifying thing is that those locusts are not dead yet, they crawled out of the ground again, and the locust plague is coming again..."

“Your Majesty, the benevolent Ming Emperor, if there is another locust plague, those Oara people will not let us Tatars go.

When winter comes, we Tatars will not be able to survive the cold winter...

Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this time, we, the Tatars, really want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty! "

"I see!"

Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and others nodded slightly.

According to the report of the border army, Ma Erhaza did not lie. The Tatars should not be able to hold on!

"So, how are you, the Tatars, going to surrender to our Ming Dynasty?"

Ma Erhazan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor, I, the Tatar, are willing to move to the Ming Dynasty. I only ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor to give me a place for the Tatars to live!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di sneered, "Where do you want to move?"

Ma'er Hazan said again: "Reporting to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, we and the Tatars are willing to obey His Majesty the Ming Emperor's will!"

Xu Huizu asked: "Are you willing to accept the supervision of my Ming army?"

"This……"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Ma'erhaza's face.

Zhu Di waved his hand directly and said: "This matter has become serious, I want to discuss it with all the courtiers!"

Ma'er Hazan was startled and said hurriedly: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor, the foreign minister's Tatar department is willing to accept the supervision of the Ming army, as long as His Majesty the Ming Emperor can give us Tatars a piece of rich grassland!"

"I know!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and told the minister of Honglu Temple on the side: "The Tatar envoys are tired from the journey, take them down to rest first!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The minister of Honglu Temple bowed his hands and then looked at Ma Erhaza.

Ma'er Hazan hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, the foreign ministers Tatars sincerely surrender... Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, the foreign ministers Tatars really cannot suffer from locust plagues anymore!

Otherwise, there will be a big epidemic..."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I understand!"

Ma'er Haza's face was full of anxiety.

The Minister of Honglu Temple looked indifferent and said, "Tatar envoy, please follow me to rest!"

"His Majesty the Merciful Emperor Ming..."

Zhu Di ignored it!

Ma'er Haza's face was full of despair, but he did not dare to disobey Zhu Di's will, so he could only withdraw slowly.

As soon as Ma Erhazan left the hall, Xu Huizu burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, this Tatar barbarian is so humble this time. It seems they really can't stand it any longer!"

Zhu Di smiled lightly, "The locust plague is raging. There are Waci people in the north who are looting at any time, and our Ming army is watching in the south. No matter how powerful the Tatars are, they can't stand it!"

On the side, Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "Dad, when the Tatar envoy left, he shouted that if there is another locust plague, they may have a major epidemic!"

"Isn't this just right?"

Xu Huizu smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Tatars can still withstand the plunder of the Wacians, which proves that their tribe's strength has been preserved.

If they are allowed to suffer another major epidemic, this will be great news for my Ming Dynasty! "

"We can't let the Wazi people be left alone!"

Zhu Di shook his head slightly, "If not, the Waci people in the north would be unstoppable!"

"Washi people?"

Xu Huizu couldn't help but frowned. Without the Tatars, it would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty to face the Wacians!

Above, Zhu Di waved his hand directly, "At this moment, the locust plague in the Tatar tribe should have started to rage. It won't happen in a few days. The court will discuss this matter again the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Huizu responded with his hands raised.

After Xu Huizu left, Zhu Di thought for a moment and then looked at Zhu Gaochi.

"What does the prince plan to do with the Tatars?"

Zhu Gaochi quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Father, Emperor Taigaozu has always been kind to the northern Tatars..."

"We know!"
