Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji took the lead, and the civil servants followed, but the generals could not remain silent. Zhu Neng took a step forward and shouted, "My Emperor is wise." In the end, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, had to bend down.
Follow the shouting.
But the anger in his heart was also rushing wildly.
Xu Jingchang, you little brat, our accounts have been recorded.
Although you have a strong background, you are just a fifteen-year-old kid. Sooner or later I will find an opportunity to make you unlucky!
Qiu Fu suppressed his anger and wanted to make trouble for Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Di was no longer interested in getting entangled in this matter. At this moment, he was in an extremely excited state, as if he had found a new goal in life.
In the past four years, Zhu Di used Beiping to fight against Jianwen's million-strong army, and finally succeeded in defeating the enemy and ascended to the throne. During this period, all he thought about was how to survive and how to defeat the enemy.
Victory or death, there is no third way!
Fortunately, he finally won and sat on the dragon throne smoothly.
However, so many courtiers opposed him, especially the Yongle reign, which made Zhu Di realize that there was still a long, long way to go before he could rule the world and win the hearts of all.
The issue of the era name became a thorn in Zhu Di's heart.
Although he did not change the decree, it was like a knife in his throat and a thorn in his back. He urgently needed to prove to the world that he, Zhu Di, was the best emperor. He must do great things, surpass his father's achievements, and push the Ming Dynasty to the top.
New realm...
The ministers followed Zhu Di back to the palace, and Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also got on their horses. They followed Xu Jingchang. The chubby Xia Yuanji squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Xu Tongzheng is really sharp-tongued and quick-thinking. You are so clever
After all, I have convinced His Majesty, you are indeed a young hero!"
Zhu Di's eyes widened and he was about to get angry.
Do you think I don’t understand? You two didn’t just come here to flatter me because of my father’s support. You clearly saw my ability and thought you could pull me to deal with Jingnan’s upstarts and help you support the situation.
Zhu Di smiled again, "If you are not capable and honest enough, then study hard. You are still young and have a lot of time."
Xu Jingchang smiled again and said: "The emperor is ambitious, and all the officials are working hard. There will be hardships in the future, especially for you two. To do big things, you need people, and to do big things, you need to spend money. One of you is in charge of the official title, and the other is in charge.
Keep an eye on the money bag. If the recommended person is wrong, or if the money cannot be provided, I think you may not be able to bear the wrath of thunder."
The two of them were startled, yes, this is indeed the truth.
Xu Jingchang was startled and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... I think it would be good to rule by doing nothing."
"Xu Tongzheng, what you just said, can you please explain it more carefully so that everyone can understand it more clearly."
Xia Yuanji immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Take the matter of Daning Dusi as an example. It is true that the imperial court cannot support the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and has to temporarily move inland. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I can
I hereby issue a military order to Your Majesty. Within three years, the people's livelihood will be restored, the national treasury will be filled, and the troops will be adequately fed. If I don't have this ability, please Your Majesty, please chop off my head as a warning to others."
That's what happened, they will be the unlucky ones next.
"What did you say?" Zhu Di was suddenly furious. You have said it so clearly, why are you still doing nothing? You want to bully me to death?
"You stay here to appease the generals and soldiers of Duoyan's three guards. They are not allowed to fight, let alone disturb the peace of the people, otherwise they will be severely punished."
"Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu, I won't talk about other things. Your Majesty is ambitious now. He says he won't lose an inch of territory, but he actually intends to expand the territory and establish unprecedented achievements."
While thinking, they had returned to the palace. After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, Zhu Di was smiling and his eyes fell on Xu Jingchang.
Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi looked at each other, and they both caught an emotion called ambition in each other's eyes. It was Zhu Di who promoted them both to their current positions.
Zhu Di couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "That's so well said. Emperor Taizu got up in civilian clothes, drove north to the Yuan Dynasty, and founded the great Ming Dynasty. For three generations or less, there is no country more upright than the Ming Dynasty. I now inherit the great rule.
, I should work hard to carry forward my father's legacy. I must not only defend the country, but also expand the territory and achieve a prosperous age far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties. This is the responsibility given to me by God. My father's spirit in heaven is also watching me.
We must remain determined and will never stop until we die!"
Xu Jingchang's eyes darkened. Is Zhu Di about to enter a war-crazy state?
Go crazy yourself and never take me with you.
"Well said!"
But you two had better not dream, I will not be your spearman!
The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more excited he became. He turned his head suddenly and said, "Zhu Gaoxu."
Zhu Di only felt a flame burning in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di stood up, walked among the civil and military ministers, and said loudly: "There are several major things that I want to plan next. One is that in the past four years, Jianwen was young and comatose, and was deceived by traitors.
The old system of Taizu must be restored as soon as possible, and the treacherous villains must be eradicated. Many places in Shandong, Beiping, and South Zhili have suffered military disasters, especially Shandong, which has suffered heavy losses. It is necessary to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible and arrest the bandits.
The Ministry of Personnel needs to select suitable officials, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also needs to reduce or reduce taxes as appropriate."
Who doesn’t want to make a name for himself in history?
People like Xu Jingchang, who only thinks about fishing, listening to music and looking at the stars, cannot understand the state of these two people. Now he is just worried that Zhu Di will make some mistakes. Will his work tasks as the general ambassador increase?
If you are too tired, just find a way to resign. If that doesn't work, ask your aunt for help. She doesn't want the only remaining seedling of the Xu family to wither early.
"Xu Tongzheng, what do you think I should do? Do you have any appropriate suggestions?"
Heroic aspirations, imperial ambitions.
"That...working hard and courageously...doing nothing."
At this time, Jian Yi hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Xu Tongzheng said is reasonable. We have just experienced war, the people's livelihood is in decline, and the national treasury is empty. We urgently need to restore the people's strength. At this time, we really need to recuperate, maybe three years, or
It will take five years until the country's strength is restored, then it will be able to flex its muscles and make a difference."
"My son is here." Zhu Gaoxu quickly bowed and agreed.
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and did not agree with these two important ministers recommended by his father.
When the two people heard this, they were all startled, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Done!
When Zhu Di heard this, he finally showed a satisfied smile and snorted at Xu Jingchang, "Is that what you mean?"
Zhu Di nodded, and then said to the civil and military ministers: "You all follow me back to the palace to discuss important matters."
Xu Jingchang had no choice but to stand up and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, what I mean is how to evaluate the prosperity and decline of a country. Is it simply peaceful and peaceful? As a monarch, what things should you stick to... For example, the territory of your ancestors?
This is what the ancestors left to future generations. Common people all know that it is not good to be a prodigal. As an emperor, you should not easily abandon the land and give up the ancestral foundation. If someone dares to invade the Ming Dynasty and covet the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then they must fight back resolutely and fight
They were beaten painfully, maimed and beaten to death. We must learn from the Han and Tang dynasties in destroying the Xiongnu and the bravery and bloody nature of the Turks, but we must not learn from the compromises and concessions made by the two Song Dynasties against the Khitan, Jin and Mongolia."
It's a pity that Zhu Di's blood is boiling because of your instigation. Can Zhu Di let you go?
Zhu Di wants to achieve great things, why don't they want to prove themselves to the world?
Assisting a virtuous king and creating a prosperous age is the highest honor for a civil servant. Even if it is a little tiring and painful, he will not hesitate to do so.
Xu Jingchang said quickly: "Yes, that's what I mean. I am not as capable and honest as the two ministers."
Jian Yi also smiled and said: "Indeed, although Qi Guogong is a military general, he wants to settle things and make peace with others, which is far inferior to Xu Tongzheng's courage. Good, really good!"
The two ministers immediately agreed, "I will obey the order."
"Also, Jianwen has recruited millions of soldiers. Now we must rectify them immediately, eliminate the old and weak, and keep the young and strong. We must train strictly and not slack off. If anyone thinks that the peace is difficult to succeed, he can enjoy the glory and wealth, indulge his generals, and corrupt the laws of the country.
, if you bully the people, I will definitely punish you severely and will never tolerate you."
Zhu Di glanced at the ministers present and said sternly: "I have said so much. In the final analysis, I want you to perform your duties. Everyone should be busy. Don't think about fishing and listening to music, or playing with things to get bored."
When he said the last sentence, Zhu Di stared hard at Xu Jingchang...
