Chapter 541 Brave Girl

Chapter 541 Brave Girl

Xia Xun returned to Beijing. Zhu Di commended him with a grand welcome ceremony for his trip to Japan and the successful solution of the Japanese pirate problem. Seven bachelors, headed by Xie Jin, led six ministries and seven ministers to welcome him in person.

The momentum was extremely loud.

At the same time, Qiu Fu packed his bags and sadly left the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He quietly left the capital through another city gate and crossed the river to the north. The only people who saw him off were Zhu Gaoxu and a few very close people.

The emperor issued an imperial edict to transfer Qiu Fu to Beijing and serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Military Governor's Office in Beijing. Perhaps, this is the best arrangement for this veteran Jingnan minister who has made great achievements, and the north is suitable for him to show off his talents.

place, and this is also his punishment. There is no doubt that he will be far away from the center of power. For a long period of time, he will not be able to exert sufficient influence on the government.

For Zhu Gaoxu, this was a heavy blow. His supporters mainly came from the army, and Qiu Fu was one of the two remaining marshal-level figures in the Ming Dynasty army. His departure undoubtedly broke Zhu Gaoxu's arm, and even more

The terrible thing is that this can be interpreted as his father's disappointment in him. According to legal principles, his royal brother and nephew are all here, and the throne is already out of his reach. If he loses his father's favor, what chance does he have?

What about becoming the crown prince?

The flowers fell helplessly,

Deja Vu Yan Returns.

Qiu Fu left,

Xia Xun is here.

In the Jinluan Hall, Xia Xun and Zheng He repeated the edict, and the envoys from Japan who came with them responded to the edict to the Emperor of Heaven.

What decree did he reply to? Because Zhu Di once asked Zheng He to announce the decree and directly ordered the Japanese king Yuan Daoyi to eradicate the pirates. Now Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has completed this task and replied to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is the real Ming Dynasty.

Belonging to the vassal, not just submitting in name. Zhu Di did what his father could not do when he was still alive, and the glory and glory are self-evident.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first became emperor, he sent envoys to Japan to demand his surrender. What was the result? The Japanese executed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and responded with strong words: "Three kings established the pole, and the five emperors Zen; only China has it."

Lord, why are the barbarians and the Di without a king? The universe is vast and cannot be the sole authority of one Lord; the universe is vast and must be divided and defended by various states. The one who covers the world is not the world of one person...

I heard that Your Majesty has a strategy for starting a war, and that small states have their own plans to defend themselves against the enemy. The essays include articles on Confucius and Mencius' morality, and on martial arts, there are Sun Wu Tao's tactics. I also heard that Your Majesty has chosen generals with strong muscles and strong troops to attack the ministers.

Situation. A land of water and swamps, a state of mountains and seas. It is covered by water and soil. When soldiers are about to greet you, how can you kneel down and serve it? If you follow it, you may not live, and if you go against it, you may not die. When we meet in front of Helan Mountain, we chat about gambling.

, what’s there to be afraid of!”

The word "chen" was added when the Ming Dynasty translated the letter of credence of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the emperor was unwilling to surrender at that time. He stood on an equal footing and only expressed congratulations to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but did not declare himself a minister.

Meaning. The Ming Dynasty received the letter of credence from ***, but it had no choice but to send troops to conquer the country. Military affairs, the place of life and death, the way of survival, national affairs are not children's play, they depend entirely on their own

Interest comes.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to hold his nose and swallow the bad breath. Now the emperor is not only frightened and frightened, but also repeatedly begs for submission, and unswervingly pursues the will of the Emperor of Heaven.

He said that this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm. Listening to the words in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's letter of credence, "If you are sincere and frightened, you should bow your head", Zhu Di laughed heartily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the court meeting, Zhu Di left Xia Xun behind again and took him and Zheng He back to Jinshen Hall, still in high spirits.

Although Zheng He had reported some things that were not convenient to talk about in the court through secret reports, Zhu Di still asked with great interest. Xia Xun and Zheng He told them in detail, which was more interesting than the simple words. Zhu Di listened

Laughing loudly.

Afterwards, Zhu Di left Zheng He, glanced at Xia Xun, and his face suddenly became solemn: "Hangzhou was assassinated, what happened?"

Xia Xun said: "I am also curious. I don't know who instigated this matter. I have asked Chen Xuan and the Hangzhou magistrate to arrest the criminals for stealing in the plum garden, so as not to spread the word and create a lot of unnecessary suspicion."

Zhu Di nodded approvingly: "The imperial court is full of troubles. It would be better not to make the whole country aware of the assassination of the imperial minister. However, the matter still needs to be investigated!"

He pondered for a moment and said: "I have informed Ji Gang about this matter and asked him to arrest him severely! On your side, you must be more careful, and..., the power of Jin Yiwei is mainly concentrated in one corner of the capital, and I want to do everything in the world.

, but it is a bit difficult. Feilong is only used to search for Jianwen, which is overkill. Their whereabouts are all over the world, and they can just collect intelligence from all sides for my use."

Xia Xun was secretly happy after hearing this. Zhu Di had expanded Feilong's power, which would make it easier for him to do things. Xia Xun quickly agreed.

Zhu Di glanced at him again, his eyes a little strange: "I plan to promote Chi Zhong, Li Yifeng, Ren Juying, Zheng He and others to the next level. What rewards do you want? Why not...I will give you a gold medal to avoid death.

how?"

Xia Xun didn't pay attention to Zhu Di's eyes. No official could keep his eyes fixed on the emperor's expression. He was standing with his hands down. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It was finally time to ask for credit and reward.

When the matter came to a head, Xia Xun was a little timid. He bit the bullet and bowed and said, "My lord, I would like to ask the emperor to change the reward."

"Change?"

The look on Zhu Di's face became even weirder: "When I founded the Ming Dynasty, even with General Xu Da's achievements, he was granted the title of king after his death. Now, you are already the Duke of the country and cannot be promoted. I really can't think of anything else.

What reward is more precious than a gold medal to avoid death?"

Xia Xun always said: "I...ask your majesty to issue an order to grant me a marriage. This...this is the greatest gift to me!"

"Marriage? Who do you want to marry?"

Xia Xun's cheeks felt a little hot, and he felt uneasy in his heart. After calming down, he said: "I want to marry Princess Miaojin of the Xu family of the Prince of Zhongshan! Please grant your permission, Your Majesty!"

"Okay! I'm sure, the decree will be issued tomorrow, you can just wait for the decree in the mansion!"

"ah?"

Xia Xun raised his head and looked at Zhu Di in astonishment, as if a flower suddenly grew on his face.

Zhu Di snorted and said, "What are you looking at?"

Xia Xun quickly lowered his head again, glanced at him secretly, and said, "I didn't... didn't see anything. Your Majesty said, is it correct?"

"Well, that's right!"

Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, then reminded: "Your Majesty, I am talking about Miss Xu Miaojin, the young princess of Zhongshan Palace."

There was a trace of amusement in Zhu Di's eyes, and he said: "Yes! There is only one girl waiting to be married in the Zhongshan Palace now. Is there a second person?"

"Uh..." Xia Xun had a confused look on his face. He secretly stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard. Wow! It hurts. It doesn't seem like he was dreaming. "But... it's accurate? It's accurate."

Already?"

Zhu Di said as if nothing had happened: "You went to Japan, thank you for your hard work, I will give you a ten-day holiday, then go back home to rest."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xia Xun was a little stupid and stood there without moving.

Zhu Di asked: "Why, is there anything else?"

"Ah! I'm fine, I'm leaving!"

Zhu Di opened a memorial, lowered his head and pretended to read it, with Xia Xun in the corner of his eyes. When he bowed and left the Jinshen Hall, he immediately raised his head and called out: "Mu En!"

"The slave is here!"

Mu En immediately stepped in from the door: "Your Majesty, please give me your orders!"

Zhu Di said: "Tell the queen to prepare a dowry for her sister. There is a happy event coming!"

After hearing this, Mu En also had a question mark on his forehead, but he didn't dare to ask. He agreed inexplicably and ran to the harem.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Time goes back to three days ago, Kunning Palace.

The married women entered the palace to pay their respects to the queen as usual, and Queen Xu also greeted them as usual. After asking about their family affairs, Queen Xu said: "You are all married ladies, and your husband is an official in the court. When friends get along with each other,

, men sometimes listen and sometimes don’t listen to what they say; and when husbands and wives say things, as long as the wife is gentle and considerate and speaks reasonably, the husband will generally listen. I serve the emperor every day and advise him to put the people first.

With the country as your top priority, you should do the same when serving your husband. The ancients said: "If a man has a good wife at home, he should not do anything bad outside." This makes sense."

The married women said one after another: "What the Queen said is that I must obey the Queen's teachings!"

At this time, a palace maid walked up to Empress Xu and whispered to her: "Your Majesty, the princess has entered the palace and is waiting for you in the side hall!"

After hearing this, Queen Xu said: "Okay, you all have your own things to do, so I won't keep you any longer."

The betrothed ladies quickly got up and said goodbye. When the betrothed ladies left, Queen Xu got up and rushed to the side hall. In the side hall, Ming'er's cheeks were as bright as pomegranate blossoms. She didn't know whether she was walking too fast or for some reason, but her eyes were also shining.

Shining brightly, she wandered around the temple but refused to sit down.

Queen Xu walked into the side hall, saw the girl, and smiled: "Ming'er, you are here!"

"sister!"

When Xu Ming'er saw Queen Xu, she immediately rushed to her and grabbed her arm: "Sister, I have something to ask you!"

Empress Xu scratched her nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my own sister, if there is anything you ask for, as long as my sister can do it, why don't I help you!"

"Okay, I..." Xu Ming'er hesitated, looked at the maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace, and ordered: "You all get out!"

The palace maids and eunuchs quickly retreated. Empress Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw it, and her face became cautious. She hurriedly asked: "Ming'er, what do you want your sister to do for you? Isn't it... something that is harmful to nature?"

"Sister, what are you talking about? Will I let you do something that is harmful to nature?"

Empress Xu showed a smile and said: "That's right. Seeing how cautious you are, haha. Well, as long as it's not harmful to nature or against the law, how can a sister not help her little sister? Tell me, what's the matter!

"

"I want to get married!" Ming'er said honestly and sincerely: "If my sister agrees, my sister will get married! If my sister doesn't agree, my sister will become a monk! Sister, you choose!"

Empress Xu suddenly understood and said in surprise: "Who are you going to marry? Ah! Could it be... could it be... or him?"

Ming'er's face was as red as a happy little red flower: "Well, it's him! Sister, agree or not?"

Time returns to the present again, Jinshen Palace.

While reviewing the memorial, Zhu Di shook his head and muttered: "It's useless to be a villain! It's useless to be a villain!"

p: It’s the 29th, friends, let’s pour out the last ***!
