My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 68: One Unity, Sending Troops to Suppress the Japanese!
"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

Jian Yi was already ill during this time, and the old man fainted when he saw the other party vomit blood.

He didn't care about discussing things, and hurriedly yelled outside.

Zhu Gaoyu also hurried up and fanned him with a fan.

Zhu Gaoxu, who knew some first aid, took Jian Yi from the arms of Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and pinched the other person, trying to wake him up.

"Ugh..."

With a low cry of pain, Jian Yi woke up slowly.

Before he opened his eyes, muddy tears rolled down from the corners of them.

"My son!"

This shout made Zhu Gaoyu puzzled.

Isn't he a sad old man?Why did you call your son?
Are all literati playing so flamboyantly?
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War who seemed to know something, explained to him: "According to what I know, Shangshu Jian's third son and his biological mother returned to Qufu to visit their relatives a month ago, and have not yet returned."

"Now that the Kong family is in such a catastrophe, the mother and son in the Kong family may be more or less fortunate."

"Jian Shangshu is eager to love his son, and he is disrespectful in front of the emperor. Please forgive me."

Zhu Gaoyu suddenly realized.

He just said, there are a few sons-in-law who really cry for their father-in-law, no matter how sincere the ancients are, they would not use their affection to this extent.

Dare to think that he was wrong, he was crying for his son, not his father-in-law.

Knowing this, he glanced sympathetically at Jian Yi, who was in grief.

If the other party's wife and children have finished visiting relatives, it's okay to be on the way back at this time.

If he didn't leave Kong's house and was killed by the Shadow Guards by mistake, he could only blame him for his bad luck.

"I see!"

"A white-haired person sending a black-haired person is a pain for Jian Aiqing."

What else can the old man say about this kind of thing, he can only comfort him, and ask the palace servants who came in to send the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who has lost his concubine and son, to a side room to rest.

But Jian Yi won't leave.

The life and death of his wife and children are unknown, and no matter whether there is an accident or not, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is even more impossible for him to miss this important meeting.

Everyone persuaded him several times, but Jian Yi still insisted on refusing, the old man had no choice but to agree to stay.

The palace people left the room again, allowing the bosses to continue the meeting.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true."

Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, raised doubts in disbelief.

This is not to suspect that the emperor is joking, but the status of the Kong family is too special.

Again.

Even those aliens didn't touch the Kong family, even the cruel old Zhu endured it. Who dares to risk the world's all-in-one attack to touch the super bomb of the Kong family?

To put it bluntly.

Raising the flag to rebel is more likely to survive than this.

The rebellion will at most offend the royal family. If it succeeds, not only will the scholars of the world not criticize you, but they may even join your camp for the new division of power.

But attacking the Kong family is different.

No matter what the result is, once discovered, this person or this force will definitely become the biggest sinner in history.

Unless it is destroyed by the nine clans, the literati who claim to be disciples of Confucianism in the world will never give up.

Not to mention the mastermind who did this, even if he helped him say a word, he would be targeted by scholars all over the world.

So in the current world, everyone has the hope of surviving.

It's good that the Dong Kong family didn't find out, but once they find out who it is, they will definitely die.

This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties, who obviously hated the actions of the Kong family, still recognized the other party and even gave them heavy rewards.

Winning over the Kong family is not for the Kong family, let alone for the Kong sage who has died for many years.

It is to win the hearts of scholars all over the world, and to educate the Confucian class fools.

If it wasn't for these things, the Kong family's stinky shit would have been trampled to the ground countless times.

The old man didn't speak, but nodded to Zhu Gaoyu, motioning him to show everyone the Shandong memorial.

Originally, the first person to watch should be Zhu Pangpang, who is the prince.

But before Zhu Pangpang stretched out his hand, Jian Yi rushed up and said, "Your servant is impolite", snatched him over, and looked nervously.

Zhu Pangpang is notoriously magnanimous, and at the same time, he can understand Jian Yi's mood, so he replied "no problem", and let Jian Yi look at it first.

Lu Zhen and the others couldn't wait any longer, they clasped their fists to salute the old man, and moved closer.

Jian Yi read it very carefully, almost every word.

However, the more he looked at him, the paler his face became. When he read the last word, he was in a daze again and almost fell down.

The above report is very detailed, how many people died, how many people disappeared, all written clearly.

Jian Yi did not see the name of his third son in the missing list.

More importantly, Kong told him when he left.

I won't be back until after the Saint's Birthday Ceremony.

It's only mid-July now, and there's still a month to go before the saint's birthday ceremony.

So his wife and children must be on the death list.

"Japanese pirates, I will never die!"

The pain of losing his son made this wise and calm minister completely lose his mind.

I didn't think about it at all, there was something strange about it, and I directly locked the hatred on the Japanese pirates.

"I implore Your Majesty to send troops to destroy the Japanese pirates and avenge the Kong family and my son."

Jian Yi thumped and knelt on the ground, weeping, begging the old man to send troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.

Jian Yi lost his mind, but the others did not.

Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who was in contact with various cases every day, was the first to raise doubts.

"Your Majesty, although the Japanese pirates are bold, they also know the status of the Kong family in my Ming Dynasty. Even if they have the courage of their ambitions, they dare not have such evil thoughts!"

Xia Yuanji nodded in agreement: "I think so too, there must be someone else behind this mastermind."

The old man didn't speak, and looked at Zhu Pangpang, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

"Do you three think so too?"

After reading the report, Zhu Pangpang, who had been thinking about it, heard the old man's question, and quickly replied: "Father, my son also thinks this is strange, let's not mention whether it was done by Japanese pirates."

"Even if it is, there is still such a long distance from Qufu to the sea, and the clothes of Japanese pirates are completely different from my Ming Dynasty."

"Coupled with the language barrier and unfamiliarity with the terrain, they will definitely be found when they land."

"But the report in Shandong said that nothing was discovered before the incident."

Zhu Fatpang made a conclusion: "Thus, I feel that what the Japanese pirates did was nothing more than a mastermind, using a trick to deliberately disturb the court's sight and achieve an ulterior purpose."

"There is also the matter of the Kong family. There are too many people who know about it, and it is impossible to hide it. I believe it will not be long before the world knows it, and it will definitely cause a commotion."

"If the court doesn't suppress the riot immediately, it will fall into the scheme of the people behind it."

"Especially a few disaster-stricken places, once someone with a heart speaks out to encourage them, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be chaotic."

"That's why I believe that when investigating the real culprit behind the scenes, we must strictly monitor the movements of all parties to prevent irreversible chaos and shake the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."

After listening to Zhu Pangpang's analysis, the old man nodded secretly.

After ruling out Zhu Gaoyu's suspicion, the old man had this speculation in his mind.

Unexpectedly, he was a big fat son, and his thoughts and worries were exactly the same as his.

"How about you two?"

The old man didn't reply, but looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, two tough men.

The two looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a little worried for a while.

The bosses they thought of said everything, and the bosses they didn't expect said, so what else could they say.

Zhu Gaoxu took a step forward and said loudly: "Father, no matter if it is Japanese pirates or traitors, as long as you dare to jump out to make trouble and mess with our Ming Dynasty, I will definitely kill them all."

"It's the same with my son!"

Zhu Gaosui also quickly stood up to express his opinion.

The old man nodded in relief and looked towards the corner of the room.

"Old monk, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that there was actually one person in the room.

"Amitabha, Lord Jian, please mourn!"

Everyone looked back and saw an old monk in black walking out from behind the screen.

This monk is Yao Guangxiao, known as the Prime Minister in Black.

For such a big matter as the Kong family being wiped out, the old man will naturally not forget his brain trust.

Before offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple at noon, he sent someone to notify the old monk that he was coming.

I didn't let him show up just now, but I wanted the old monk to observe and observe again to see if some people were really lying.

Zhu Gaoyu rolled his eyes at the old man, stepped forward and saluted Yao Guangxiao with a fist.

"Sir! Gao Yu was too busy when he came back, so he didn't go to see Mr., please don't blame him!"

Before Zhu Zhanji worshiped the old monk as his teacher, Zhu Gaoyu was arranged by the old man to study beside the old monk.

At first, the old man wanted Zhu Gaoyu to worship him as his teacher, but the old monk refused because he said that he had no fate as a master and apprentice.

So Zhu Gaoyu called the old monk Mr. as a student.

"Amitabha, Your Highness should put the country's affairs first. It doesn't matter if the poor monk is an old monk. It doesn't matter whether he looks at it or not." Yao Guangxiao joked with a smile.

Zhu Gaoyu smiled awkwardly. It seemed that the old monk knew about himself and called him the nickname "old monk" behind his back.

After Yao Guangxiao greeted everyone, the old man knocked on the table and asked, "What do you think of this?"

Yao Guangxiao turned the beads in his hand lightly, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly to the old man: "This is the work of Japanese pirates."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Pangpang and the others frowned.

They could all see that this was a trick of the eye. How could the witty old monk not be able to see this.

"Why?"

Without waiting for everyone to raise questions, the old man asked directly.

"For the stability of the Ming Dynasty, it must be Japanese pirates."

The old man suddenly realized.

Yes, in order not to cause trouble, the murderer must be a Japanese pirate.

The Kong family is related to the stability of Shilin. If we don't find a murderer as soon as possible, let everyone vent their emotions, and discuss with each other suspiciously, there will definitely be troubles.

So no matter who the real murderer is, the murderer announced by the court must be a Japanese pirate.

Moreover, they will make big moves to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and even attack the Japanese country, so as to quell the riots that may affect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, what you said is good!"

Zhu Gaoyu stood up to express his agreement, and suggested: "In order to stabilize Shilin, I propose that the Nan Kong family should come out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the hearts of the people in the world."

"As for what to do after Yan Shenggong is rescued, we will discuss it later. The most urgent thing now is to focus on stability."

Several ministers, Zhu Pangpang and others gradually calmed down after being shocked.

Yao Guangxiao was right.

No matter who the murderer is, the top priority is stability.

Even if the murderer jumps out by himself now, he will put this shit pot on the Japanese pirates.

The forces that can do this are definitely not small. Even if the court can quickly find out the suppression, the collapse of the saint family of the Kong family will cause panic.

External enemies, however, are different.

When the world learns that the murderer is a foreigner, the messy thoughts will disappear. Regardless of whether he has a good impression of the Kong family or not, in order not to become a different kind, he will vent his anger on the foreigner.

This is a typical eruption of the internal pressure that is about to erupt to the outside.

Although the records of this matter in the later history books may not describe the Zhu family very well, it will not be so bad.

Doing so at the same time can also prevent chaos and stabilize the situation in Ming Dynasty.

"Oh!"

The old man slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "The mere pirates are so lawless. After hurting a saint, they provoke my Ming Dynasty. I will never tolerate it."

"I have decided to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates with heavy troops, to avenge the shame of the sage, and to avenge the Confucian family!"

"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers and others agree!"

With everyone who has a unified mind, naturally there will be no voices of opposition, even Zhu Pangpang, who doesn't like fighting, also loudly seconded!

"The Japanese pirates hang overseas, and their whereabouts are erratic. This battle will be dominated by water warfare."

"Whoever you think leads the army can encircle and suppress all Japanese pirates."

After reaching an agreement, the next step is to recruit troops and select generals.

Most of the Japanese pirates were operating at sea, and Da Ming took the initiative to attack, and it must be mainly naval battles.

Therefore, there is no need to consider the strength of the troops. The main force must be the navy.

But the generals are a bit more difficult to choose.

Most of the old man's generals are veterans who followed him to fight the prairie barbarians in the north.

There is no problem at all for these people fighting in the grasslands and fighting in the mountains.

But the battle on the water is a bit blind, not to mention the harsh environment at sea.

This is not a good choice, let alone whether you can win or not, it would be good if you don't get seasick.

All the important officials of the imperial court were present, and they all knew this very well.

When the old man asked this question, the figure of Zheng He popped up in everyone's mind immediately.

There is no other way, the person Daming knows most about the sea is probably the eunuch Zheng.

"Fourth, don't you have a navy of some kind? You said that this is a force that fights at sea. Isn't it just right to entrust this matter to you?"

Just when several ministers were about to propose that Zheng He be the commander of the battle, Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and mentioned the matter of Zhu Gaoyu's navy.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Zhu Gaoyu.

"How's your navy recruiting going?"

The old man asked.

During this period of time, Jin Yiwei has been dealing with Ji Gang's rebellion case, and the supervision has been relaxed a little.

The old man has always been concerned about the Great Ceremony of Nations, and has never asked about it.

He really doesn't know how many people Zhu Gaoyu has under his command now.

"Go back to the emperor."

Zhu Gaoyu stepped forward and reported: "Two days ago, Wang Jin, the deputy governor of the navy, reported to his son that the navy has now recruited 2 people."

There is a transfer order written by the old man himself. Anyone below the captain of Daming can be transferred as long as he wants. It is very easy for Wang Jin to recruit people.

The old man nodded, and asked again: "What about the combat power?"

Zhu Gaoyu replied confidently: "Fifty percent of the personnel are former voyage personnel, and the remaining forty percent are recruited from other naval units."

"They are all elite soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. They have rich combat experience. They only need to be integrated and tempered before they can go into battle."

Without waiting for the old man to ask again, Zhu Gaoyu continued: "As for Wang Jin, the deputy commander of our navy, his ancestors were sailors for several generations. One of his ancestors even conquered the country of Wa with the Yuan Dynasty army."

"Family inheritance, coupled with the fact that he has gone to sea with Eunuch Zheng many times, participated in various naval battles such as encircling and suppressing the pirate Chen Zuyi, and has rich experience in commanding battles. He is an absolutely excellent naval general."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xia Yuanji: "The Ministry of Households is going to go out to collect grain and grass immediately."

Then he turned his head and looked at Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War: "The Ministry of War also immediately drafted an order to transfer troops. I demand that all of this must be completed within five days, so that the navy will go north to encircle the Japanese pirates, avenge the Kong family, and welcome back Yan Shenggong."

After ordering the two of them, the old man said to Zhu Gaoyu: "I'm afraid your strength is not enough. I will take 5000 troops from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion each to assist you in fighting."

"In addition, Zheng He's ships will be temporarily handed over to you for your use, and will be returned to him after the battle is over. If they are not enough, they will be taken away from other sailors."

"I have only one task for you, Daming sea area, no more Japanese pirates are allowed to appear."

As for the safety of Yan Shenggong and others, the old man didn't even mention it.

Taking his elder nephew as an example, he would not foolishly issue all kinds of restrictive orders to the generals.

Yan Shenggong can survive the battle, it is the saint's blessing.

If he died in battle, he could only blame his own bad luck.

"My son takes orders!"

Under Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's eyes reddened with envy, Zhu Gaoyu stepped forward and gave the order.

"Okay, everyone, work hard tonight, go back and do a good job of stabilizing all parties, so as to prevent the news of the Kong family from spreading and causing turmoil in the court."

Waking up early in the morning, the old man, who was excited and nervous all day, was already a little tired.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, they asked everyone to go back and prepare.

Everyone naturally knew that the matter was urgent, and they had no plans to rest.

After saluting to the old man, they returned to their respective yamen, preparing to gather staff to work overnight.

Naturally, Zhu Gaoyu would not stay here.

He had to go to the Ministry of War to get the documents, and he had to go to the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion to select soldiers and horses. At the same time, he also planned to go to the Shenji Camp to borrow some equipment, and to inform Wang Jin to receive Zheng He's ship.

The time is very tight, not to mention taking a break, there is no time to drink saliva.

Soon, only the old man and Yao Guangxiao were left in the hall.

"Well, do you see something?"

After the door was closed again, and the sound of footsteps and discussions disappeared, the old man pressed his brows and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and suddenly spoke.

Yao Guangxiao, who was twirling the Buddhist beads and reciting scriptures silently, raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the old man and said meaningfully: "So what if you see it!"

Standing up and facing the old man, he gave a slight salute, the old monk said with a smile: "Your Majesty has already made up his mind, why ask this old monk who is full of nonsense."

The old man was amused by these words, and pointed at Yao Guangxiao helplessly.

"You old monk, you lose your courage when you get older."

"Not at all, the person who wanted to put a white hat on me was so bold and crazy."

"You are so specious, aren't you afraid that your apprentice will suffer."

The old monk smiled lightly when he heard the words, "Then how do you think your good grandson compares with Jianwen?"

The old man laughed when he heard the words, thinking of Zhu Zhanji's intelligence, he proudly said: "It's a hundred times better than a thousand times."

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together.

"Since that's the case, why does Your Majesty need to ask me this crazy monk again?"

ps: Let me talk about that again. After it was put on the shelves, due to the number of words to be updated, I stayed up too long the night before. I didn't have time to change the manuscript in the morning, so the update was changed to 8 pm.

If I have enough time, I can also think about whether there will be any problems with the written plot.
