I repeatedly offered poisonous tactics, but Lao Zhu quickly advised me to calm down!

Zhu Biao left the palace in a hurry. He immediately went to the inn to look for Chen Mu!

He wants to tell the good news to Mr.

The three divisions and three orphans are basically empty positions, mostly used to posthumously honor deceased ministers, and it is not appropriate to give them to Mr. Chen Mu.

But Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu, is different. This is a fourth-rank position, which is very suitable for Mr. Chen Mu.

Moreover, there is a third-grade Zhan Shi position, and he will not be promoted.

……

"Sir, how's it going outside?"

As soon as Chen Mu returned to the inn, the waiter came up to him with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity.

Chen Mu didn't feel offended, but felt happy.

Even the waiter was so concerned about this matter, which shows that his strategy was extremely effective..Now the attention of both officials and people in Yingtian Mansion should be on Enke.

And this also means that the court must deal with Enke's fraud.

Once he goes wrong, he will probably lose the support of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang must also be aware of this.

After all, he himself comes from a grassroots background.

Chen Mu is expected to be under the heavy pressure of popular support, and Lao Zhu will definitely not let Liu Sanwu and others off easily.

There is no way to survive here at the Imperial College!

"The situation outside is very good. It is estimated that this matter will be concluded soon."

"Warm up a pot of wine and bring it to my old place on the second floor."

Chen Mu ordered with a smile, and after saying that, he turned and went upstairs.

But as soon as he sat down in the private room, he saw the prince Zhu Biao walking in holding a wine bottle.

Seeing the prince's smile, Chen Mu's heart With the numbers in hand, his plan should be going smoothly.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Biao walked up to him, he smiled and spoke.

"Sir, you are truly the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

Zhu Biao not only praised him, but also filled his glass with wine.

"Why did His Highness the Prince say this?"

Chen Mu asked indifferently.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao sat down directly, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Sir, do you know how angry your father is today?"

"When he learned that the northern scholars had mutinied, his father was so angry that he even smashed the jade he used in court!"

"Didn't you see that Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others were so scolded by their father that they couldn't straighten their backs?"

"The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty did not even dare to take a breath for fear of being implicated and held accountable."

"Father is very disappointed, I can see it"

"At that time, my father must have been eager to drag out all these useless corpses and kill them."

"And just when everyone was at their wits' end and my father was filled with sorrow, I came forward with your strategy, sir!"

"I told my father about my husband’s plan, and my father suddenly beamed!"

"This is the happiest time I have seen my father in recent years!"

"Sir, you are really clever! The students were extremely impressed!"

With that said, Zhu Biao stood up and bowed respectfully to Chen Mu.

Those clear and translucent eyes were full of admiration and admiration for Chen Mu.

"Prince, you don’t have to be like this. I’m just doing my part as a subject."

"The Ming Dynasty is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the best praise for me."

Although what he said, Chen Mu was also very proud at this time.

Regardless of whether you are the leader of the eastern Zhejiang faction or a middle-class member of the Huaixi faction, you have to bow your head before your own plans!

And your arrogance is exactly yours. The way to death!

Even though he was turbulent in his heart, Chen Mu remained calm and calm on the surface.

Seeing his expression, the admiration in Zhu Biao's heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help it anymore.

"Sir, I have another good news to tell you today."

Hearing this, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

Seeing the uncontrollable excitement in Zhu Biao's eyes, he actually had a vague guess in his mind.

But even so, he still asked cooperatively

"What good news?"

Zhu Biao is like a child who has won an award at school, full of pride.

"I wonder, sir, do you still remember the proposal the student made before?"

"I said I would report it to my father and apply for permission for you, sir, to enter the East Palace to teach the princes."

"Father, he has already agreed"

"After learning that the plan was proposed by you, sir, my father directly gave me the instructions"

"Soon, sir, you will be able to enter the East Palace and pay your respects to Zhan Shifu. You will be given the post of Zhan Shi!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao looked at Chen Mu expectantly.

When he thought that Chen Mu could come to the palace to teach him in person, he felt that the future was bright.

And he also wanted to see his husband smile with satisfaction.

However, things were different for him. There is some difference in imagination

"Prince, I am just an idle cloud and wild crane, I don’t deserve such love."

"But if you want to ask me for advice, I will certainly tell you everything."

"Let's leave the matter of entering the East Palace to teach the prince for the time being."

Chen Mu responded with a smile, his words were sincere, without any deliberate manipulation, nor did he show the slightest dissatisfaction.

This made Zhu Biao a little confused.

Is there anyone in the world who is unwilling to be an official?

And he can still personally teach the prince such an official position!

This is the fourth official. What a waste of time!

But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly came back to his senses.

This is a polite refusal, sir!

He must have his own considerations!

Whether he is indifferent to fame or fortune, or whatever, this is his decision.

As a student , he should respect his husband's decision.

Even though he was a little disappointed in his heart, he still did not continue to impose his own ideas on Chen Mu.

When Zhu Biao was struggling in his heart, Chen Mu saw it, and his insignificant points He nodded.

Lao Zhu came from a rough background and was the emperor of Kai (bcch) country, so he was naturally more iron-blooded, and he did this so that future generations could successfully take over the country.

Prince Zhu Biao, on the other hand, was much more tolerant, and he had the appearance of a benevolent king.

What could I ask for from such a student?

But this time I still couldn't agree to his invitation.

Whether it was for the sake of a larger plan in the future or for the immediate safety, I should keep a low profile. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. A counselor full of scheming should not stand in front of the stage.

Taking a step back and protecting everyone in front of him is the right thing to do!

Seeing Chen Mu lost in thought, Zhu Biao suddenly remembered another purpose of his trip

"Sir, the student has something to ask you."

Hearing this, Chen Mu came back to his senses. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Highness, please speak."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao asked the guards behind him to take out a Kanyu map.

Seeing the Kanyu map gradually unfolding in front of his eyes, Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is the Kanyu map of the Northern Expedition, and it also marked the Ming Dynasty's campaign. route.

Zhu Biao pointed at it and his expression became serious.

"The general's northern expedition to the Yuan thieves has now arrived at the border of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun"

"Sir, how do you think this battle will be fought next?"

"The general is stubborn and has not adopted your strategy. My father and I are very worried."

He frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Chen Mu laughed

"Your Highness, war is not a child's play. Even if you are going to lose, you won't lose in a matter of seconds."

"Don't worry, we will explain it step by step."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao relaxed a little, but his expression remained serious.

Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, he was still too young after all.

But it doesn't matter, he now has plenty of time to teach slowly.

He picked up a chopstick and went to A little higher on the map

"Why is the emperor worried?"

"Because the strategy given by the general is different this time"

"We are divided into three groups!"

"Why were our Ming soldiers so invincible in previous years?"

"Because we are unprepared"

"When the enemy thought that our Ming Dynasty's 250,000 soldiers would march straight into Dadu along the Grand Canal, we chose to attack Shandong"

"After occupying Shandong, the army can directly threaten most of the capital to the northwest."

"When the enemy thought that our army would continue to attack Dadu with Shandong as its base, the army turned to break through again, and we captured Bianliang and Luoyang."

"We even directly occupied Tongguan, the eastern gate of Guanzhong!"

"At this point, the Ming soldiers had too many choices to make."

"We can attack Guanzhong to the west and Taiyuan to the north. The Yuan thieves are afraid of falling, so no one dares to take the initiative." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"This gives our army a great initiative"

"So when the emperor and the general met in Bianliang, the overall situation was decided"

"The Yuan thieves had no choice but to abandon most of them and retreat north."

"But this also leaves a problem"

"The Yuan thief still retains his fighting power!"[]

"It was this problem that worried the emperor."

After Chen Mu said this, he paused for a moment, leaving enough time for Zhu Biao to think.

Zhu Biao's thoughts did not stop for a moment, and he kept following Chen Mu's train of thought.

"Sir, what you mean is that the emperor is worried that the general will not be able to defeat the Yuan thieves head-on?"

He put forward his conjecture.

Chen Mu nodded and shook his head.

This made Zhu Biao very confused.

"If the students don’t understand, please ask the teacher to clarify!"

"The emperor is not worried that the general cannot defeat the Yuan thieves. He is only worried that the general is too conceited. He must know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Biao suddenly realized

"Yes! Yes! The general has made outstanding achievements, how can he listen to what others say?"

"A few years ago, his father could suppress him in the army, but now that he is a general, who can control him?"

"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"

"Sir, what do you think we should do?"

Zhu Biao stood up and paced back and forth in the private room, his face full of anxiety.

However, Chen Mu remained calm and still had time to comfort Zhu Biao.

"Of course there is a way. Now that the army has just left the country, there is still time."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. Please sit down first."

Hearing this again, Zhu Biao's face turned red and he sat down quickly.

"Sir, it is the student who has lost his temper. Please continue to teach."

He felt ashamed of his anxiety, and admired Chen Mutai's determination to remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain.

"A three-pronged attack spreads too many troops, and the Yuan thieves happen to be shrinking their defenses. If the general insists on fighting, he will win miserably."

"More likelyWork hard and even fail!"

"Most of the armies led by the generals are southern soldiers. They are good at water warfare. It takes time to adapt to fighting on the northern grasslands."

"The Yuan thieves conquered the world on horseback, so fighting on the grassland will definitely improve their combat effectiveness."

"With the ebb and flow of the situation, it is even more difficult to say whether this victory will be won or not."

"If the general is still stubborn and rashly goes deep into the vast grassland, then only defeat awaits him!"

"In my opinion, destroying the Yuan is not something that happens in a short while."

"If an army wants to be invincible, the best way is to attack and occupy one city, advance steadily, and feed war with war."

"There is a saying in the Art of War: Those who make good use of soldiers will no longer serve in the army, and the food will not last for three years, but it will be used for the country. Because the food is given to the enemy, the army will have enough food."

"According to this method, within three years, the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Chen Mu analyzed calmly, and gave his truest thoughts.

In fact, in his opinion, the current Yuan thieves are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't even jump around for a few days.

They have lost their country, but they still have so many people. The soldiers, just the survival supplies are enough to give them a headache.

Not to mention that there are many conflicts within the Yuan court. The internal fighting of the Jin family has been put on the table, and the destruction of Bei Yuan is doomed.

And the reason why the Ming Dynasty wants to send troops, I just want to speed up this process.

Lao Zhu needs to use war to alleviate the conflicts among all classes, and the Ming soldiers also need to use war to maintain their combat power.

But in this case, the Ming generals headed by Xu Da have disappeared!

Since the founding of the country, They fought so smoothly!

The remaining troops of the Yuan thieves were driven everywhere by them, and they won one victory after another.

But in reality? In fact, since the first year of Hongwu, the intensity of the war has increased significantly. In the ninth year of the first year of Hongwu

, the intensity of the war has increased significantly.

In that month, the Ming army and Wang Baobao's troops encountered Handian, and the Ming army was defeated. In

May of the second year of Hongwu, Yuan general Zhang Liangchen pretended to surrender in Qingyang. Ming Youcheng Xue Xian led ten thousand people to a rout, and commanded Zhang Huan to be captured. , Xue Xian was injured.

In June, Xu Da and Fu Youde moved to Qingyang and attacked Zhang Liangchen, but could not capture it for a long time.

In July, the Ming army commander Chen Shou died in battle and Jingzhou fell. Feng Sheng went to intercept and failed.

In August, Yuan Dynasty The commander-in-chief He Zongzhe attacked Fengxiang and surrendered the cavalry led by Li Mao to He Zongzhe.

It was not until late August that Xu Da and others broke through the city.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty almost brought out an all-star lineup, but the whole battle It lasted three months.

The Battle of Dingxi initiated by Wang Baobao in November of the second year of Hongwu was a life-and-death battle for the Ming Dynasty. In this battle, Wang Baobao sent troops to surprise the southeastern base of the Ming army, which directly led to chaos in the army.

If Xu Da had not personally led his troops to suppress it, The entire situation in the northwest will collapse.

It can be said that the reason why the Yuan thieves will be defeated is because they have run out of energy.

And in this case, it is a taboo to be arrogant and arrogant for the general.

One of their decision-making mistakes will be It may ruin the army, or even ruin the entire Ming Dynasty's suppressive power in northern Xinjiang!

Regarding Chen Mu's analysis, Zhu Biao tried hard to remember it, and did not dare to relax at all.

After memorizing it, he repeatedly confirmed it with Chen Mu several times, and even He tried to tell the story before returning to the palace. After returning to the palace, he did not go to the East Palace, but went straight to Lao Zhu's imperial study.

He relayed all Chen Mu's words to his father.

"Did Chen Mu really say that?"

After listening to his son's story, a trace of surprise flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes, and he quickly confirmed.

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly.

"It was indeed what my husband said. He also asked my father and I to report that we must write a letter to the general in your name."

"The general is so proud now that no one will listen to anything other than his father's orders."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded.

How could he not understand the temper of Xu Da, an old man?

That night, a letter was sent to Yingtian by the Eight Hundred Miles Urgent News

……

The next day, Fengtian Hall

"Long blessings, Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials saluted together and shouted to Lao Zhu who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Lao Zhu's face was cold and he waved his hands impatiently.

"Pass on my oral instructions and bring Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others to the palace."

His tone was solemn and chilling.

Everyone thought that Lao Zhu would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

But no one thought that he would try Liu Sanwu and others at the court meeting.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to touch Lao Zhu's bad luck.

After waiting for a while , Mao Xiang personally brought Liu Sanwu and others to the palace.

He received Lao Zhu's instructions last night and sent people to the palace early.

Liu Sanwu and others had haggard faces and dull expressions. They were all scholars before, and they had never been treated like this. Such treatment.

Looking at their disgraced old friends, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others felt infinitely sad.

It was clear that they were all officials in the same court a few days ago, but now it is like this.

As they were sad, they became more vigilant in their hearts.

The emperor's intention to get rid of the imperial examination fraud case is obvious.

They must be more careful now and must not be implicated in this, otherwise they will be doomed. At this moment, all the civil and military officials, no matter who they are, are suffering in their hearts.

Look. Seeing the treacherous waves in the court, Lao Zhu sneered in his heart.

This is the effect he wants!

The Ming Dynasty is my Lao Zhu's Ming Dynasty!

You scholars are just wage earners!

There are some things I allow you to do, so naturally you can turn a blind eye. Close one eye.

But some things involve the bottom line. As long as you dare to reach out, I will show you what the emperor's power is! After giving everyone a cold glance, Lao Zhu opened his mouth and laid out the main agenda of today's court meeting.

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I specially used Enke to get officials, but some people took advantage of this to seek personal gain and did not hesitate to commit fraud and violate the prohibition!"

"Fifty-one officials were selected for the Golden List, but not one of them was a scholar from the north!"

"Did you know that this almost caused a mutiny in Yingtian?".
