Chapter 1689 Some People Are Sad, some People Are Ambitious (Thanks to the Leader of the Leader for the Reward!)

"They are all shouting about the prosperous age, and I almost thought that the prosperous age is coming, but I can't sleep peacefully. Zhanji is still immature, Ming's civil servants, vassal kings, Wu Xun... If you don't straighten these things out, he may Take it easy?"

"The family members are getting bigger and bigger, not to mention spending money and food... Emperor Taizu Gao's original intention was to let the vassal king stabilize the place and help the king to stabilize the Ming Dynasty, but today's vassal king makes the king afraid, and the place complains a lot. Back then It's really better to raise them all in the capital, how much trouble can be saved!"

"Civilian... Ministry of War, I'm not talking about you. The civil servants are difficult to deal with. I shot a few times, and it felt like I hit cotton wool. I felt that I was too... kind."

"Wu Xun are successful and famous, and they live a comfortable life, but they have lost their spirit and energy. They can still spur them when the emperor is around, but I know that I can't, because there is no great war, and the martial arts without the great war will eventually die." It will gradually degenerate, so I have to slowly raise martial arts and pass it down from generation to generation, otherwise, sooner or later, under the nepotism, the Ming army will become what Xing Hebo said..."

This is the Nuan Pavilion, and the old Jin Zhong got a seat. He squinted at the emperor and felt that his vision was blurry, so he rubbed his eyes.

"Go and choose a pair of glasses presented by Xinghe Bojin to the Ministry of War."

Zhu Gaochi ordered, and then someone went to fetch the wooden box, which contained more than ten pairs of reading glasses.

Zhu Gaochi said: "This is what Xing Hebo dedicated to the late emperor. The Ministry of War will try it."

Jin Zhong bowed his hand to thank him, this is indeed a favor, Hong Xichao's first.

Jin Zhong chose a pair of glasses, and said happily: "Your Majesty, it's easy to use, and I can see clearly."

Seeing that childlike smile, Zhu Gaochi's heart felt sore, and he pretended to be relieved and said: "That's good, you take good care of yourself, and I still want you to continue to assist Zhanji in the future."

Jin Zhong nodded, carefully put away his glasses, and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Very simple words, but Zhu Gaochi rubbed his eyes with his hands, shook his head and said, "Why is it so difficult!"

These words were inexplicable, at least Liang Zhong, who was serving at the side, couldn't understand.

But Jin Zhong understood, he heard the embarrassment and helplessness from Zhu Gaochi's words.

"Your Majesty, people are selfish. If you are in a high position, you will definitely have your own plans and political opinions. Disagreements in political opinions are the beginning of discord between the monarch and his ministers. Your Majesty, take it easy."

"Can't slow down."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes became firmer, "Time doesn't wait! I want to clean up these things, so that Zhanji can relax and be less constrained in the future."

Jin Zhong felt that the emperors of Lao Zhu's family were all virtuous: when he was in office, he wished he could finish all the difficult tasks so that his descendants could enjoy peace.

But what he didn't know was that after Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of Ming Dynasty no longer had such rights, and the only thing he had was a tug-of-war with civil servants.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhong comforted: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already begun to soften up. The matter of the vassal king can be taken slowly. As for the guard... I think this matter needs to be discussed."

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, "Speak, I'll listen."

"Your Majesty, once the guards in the south are reduced, if there is a change in the north... how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Gaochi was terrified, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "I didn't expect this, but I hate all the officials but no one reminded me."

Jin Zhong sighed and said, "They want to remonstrate when it's done..."

"His heart can be punished!"

Zhu Gaochi felt that his mistake was to think of the good of the officials, so he ignored the danger that once the north changed, the south would have no power to fight back.

Jin Zhong looked at the somewhat annoyed emperor, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Your Majesty in the future, please take care of Your Majesty..."

Speaking of which, he stood up respectfully and bowed to salute.

It's like saying a grand farewell!

Liang Zhong on the side felt his eyes a little hot, he lowered his head, unable to bear to look at Jin Zhong in his twilight years.

Zhu Gaochi was dejected, and was about to approve Jin Zhong's official appointment, but Jin Zhong said: "Since your majesty values ​​it, this old bone of yours will die in office.

It's also good to leave some legacy for the descendants. I just hope that your majesty will take care of him more in the future, and the minister will be satisfied. "

Zhu Gaochi walked over with difficulty, supported Jin Zhong, and said sadly: "Take care, you and I should take care, and we should all be well."

One is old and the other is sick, their eyes meet each other, and they can't help but feel bitter.

"Your Majesty, Xing Hebo is coming soon... He won't follow the rules, but Your Majesty, he is making enemies everywhere, you shouldn't suspect him, otherwise his loyalty will not be demonstrated, and his heart will be chilled!"

Jin Zhong's words were close to criticizing dragon scales, but Zhu Gaochi just nodded, and then ordered:

"Yes, I know, come, someone, bring my soft sedan chair, send it to the Imperial Hospital, let them watch it carefully, if there is any mistake, you will be punished severely!"

Jin Zhong said in fear: "Your Majesty, please take it back."

Walking in the palace in the emperor's soft sedan chair, and having group consultations in the imperial hospital, this is a treatment that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

"You deserve it!"

Zhu Gaochi patted Jin Zhong on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "I will always remember the loyal minister who is dedicated to the country, okay."

Jin Zhong choked up and was helped out, and then there was an extra soft sedan chair in the palace, and he went all the way to the Imperial Hospital. The people who saw him thought it was Zhu Gaochi, but they were told that it was Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was stunned for a while. .

"Your Majesty, there are vassals active in the city."

Ye Luoxue's body smelled of blood, it seemed that she had just killed someone.

Zhu Gaochi seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago, and said lightly: "Whose people? Are you trying to win over officials?"

Ye Luoxue nodded and said: "Yes. Your Majesty, I brought Zangfeng's people to chase and kill them just now, but the other party refused to fight, and only intercepted and killed a few people. Your Majesty, do you want to block the capital?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "No need, clowns, if they make a big show, they will appear guilty. Besides, what can they do? Are those officials willing to follow the rebels to rebel?"

Ye Luoxue said bluntly: "Your Majesty, most of the vassal kings have guards. If they do their best, I will think that the rain is coming, so it should not be underestimated. Moreover, there are not enough people in Zangfeng. Please let people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang join in." ..."

"No need."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile on his face: "Xing Hebo is coming back, he is an unruly guy, the so-called rules are all face to him, but he doesn't like face, so... I am very much looking forward to seeing some The panicked appearance...I'm looking forward to it!"

...

"I heard you were beaten?"

In a small tavern in the capital, Yuan Xi asked with a smile in his clothes.

Huang Yan looked at the shiny table with disgust, sitting upright, refusing to lean on the back of the chair.

"What's your master's intention? To let you, a think tank, enter Beijing. Our family only needs to shout out to ensure that both you and your master will be unlucky, and the army will block Taiyuan in an instant."

Huang Yan's eyes flickered, and he smiled at Yuan Xi Yin.

"you will not. "

Yuan Xi took a sip of wine, then ate a piece of tofu with the discolored chopsticks, and said slowly: "The palace is no longer a good place for you, and when that man from Jinling returns to his position, you won't be able to live unless you have a second Two secrets that can make the emperor's heart flutter, otherwise you will surely die!"

Looking at Huang Yan with a half-smile, Yuan Xi said: "There was someone in the palace who chased and killed me before, but it was a pity that they failed. With such abilities, if soldiers approach the city, do you think it is possible to repeat the scene where Jinling City was destroyed?"

"You are so brave!"

Huang Yan looked outside the door, a little timidly, "If you are caught, you will be hacked into pieces, and your master will be imprisoned for life."

"Don't look, my people are watching here, no outsiders will see us."

There was some sarcasm in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he said: "Do you want to die or live? If you want to die, then pretend that I have never been here. If you want to live..."

"so what?"

"Then you should cooperate and send someone to send out the news from the palace in time. After the matter is completed, you will naturally rise again."

"Rise?"

Huang Yan smiled ho ho ho ho, shook his head and said: "Emperors are all ungrateful people, even if your master succeeds, our family will probably be silenced."

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said: "You underestimated His Highness's mind. Before this trip, His Highness said that a good friend is a good friend, and if things are successful, they should be rewarded generously. If they violate this word, heaven will punish them!"

Huang Yan took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and said in a low voice: "Your master really wants to..."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The long knife is on the side, if you don't move it, you will die. How is this different from when Jianwen was established? No, there is a difference. The man in the palace is weak and not in good health. If he is frightened, he will not get up if he can't fix it." coming."

Huang Yan snatched the jug suddenly, ignored the old marks on the spout, raised his head and poured it vigorously.

Yuan Xi's gaze moved slightly, and he watched with a smile.
