In the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi stood in front of Zhu Yunxi tremblingly.
Zhu Yunxi returned from the old man's place and was a little surprised to see Zhu Gaochi still waiting here, "Why are you still here?"
"You didn't let me go, how dare I?" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, my waiter...?"
"What he did is indeed not very pleasant! After all, our Ming Dynasty is a great dynasty, not a bandit. We do not fight unjust wars, and we do not easily accuse foreign countries. Our kindness spreads far and wide, and we do not kill innocent people. All three cities were burned down, and the prisoners were The population..." As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi sighed, "It seems to me that it has lost some of its humanity!"
With a plop, Zhu Gaochi knelt down next to the Luohan bed, "Your Majesty, I have a stubborn temper. It must be the death of Commander Lan that made him feel sad..."
In fact, Zhu Yunxi didn't worry about this matter at all.
Zhu Gaochi also knew that the emperor did not take it to heart. They both knew that it was nonsense to not fight a senseless war and not kill innocent people.
Where did the Ming Dynasty come from that did not kill people? Not to mention the foreigners from small countries, did the founding military leaders kill very few people in the Central Plains?
Among them, the one who killed the most was Chang Yuchun, the emperor's grandfather. The old man would write to him, please kill less. If you kill all the people, who will farm?
But why did he show such a low profile?
Because there is a sentence in Mu Chun's military report that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, contacted Lan Yu's old tribe and more than 5,000 people refused to listen to the order and attacked the Burmese city-state without authorization.
This is a rebellion! This is a serious crime that will kill your head!
Even at this moment, he was frightened and full of questions, "As for my son, who is like a local dog, what ability can he easily contact Lan Yu's old men? Can he pull out 5,000 people from the army? Who the hell can he do? Listen to him!"
In fact, there was a secret behind this matter, and Mu Chun had already made it clear to Zhu Yunxi secretly.
Only a few hundred of those five thousand people were Lan Yu's old subordinates, and the people were given by Mu Chun with a nod, but the massacre of the city was ordered by Zhu Gaoxu. Putting the blame on Zhu Gaoxu was just a push-over, but it had no deeper meaning. .
The profound meaning is that Zhu Yunxi secretly instructed Mu Chun and asked Zhu Gaoxu to fight.
In this way, Zhu Gaoxu had both merits and demerits, which gave Zhu Yunxi an excuse to move his fiefdom in the future. According to the family law set by the old man, the place where the son of King Zhu Di of Yan will be enfeoffed in the future will also be near the Yan vassal line, with the important town of Zhuozhou .
Now among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhu Di of Yan is the eldest. The other vassals of Qin and Jin wish that the emperor would separate all their brothers so that they would not wander around in front of their eyes, and the Zhou vassal has been destroyed in name only.
Therefore, in the future, it is most convincing to entrust kings to other vassals, starting with the sons of King Zhu Di of Yan.
As for Zhu Digao being unhappy, that's his business.
Anyway, in Zhu Yunxi's mind, wild people like Zhu Gaoxu would cause trouble at home sooner or later if they didn't go out to cause trouble to others.
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi raised his head and asked Zhu Gaochi to stand up, "Shuai Lan suddenly died in battle, and I haven't figured out how to deal with your second son. You don't have to be too scared, I'm not that kind of mean and ungrateful person. You, you will not indiscriminately accuse me!"
"If you weren't mean, I would be a fucking Bodhisattva!"
Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, but when he stood up, he thanked him profusely.
At this time, the bastard came in and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Lan Chun, the son of Lord Baoguo, has arrived and is waiting outside. There are also..."
"Who else?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
"Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, Dongguan Bo He Rong, Shunshang Marquis Zhu Shou and others are also outside..."
"Call in!" Zhu Yunxi said.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes dangled and he said, "I'll leave first!"
"Well, go back and have a good rest. I'll have something to ask you in a few days!"
~~
"emperor!"
As soon as Lan Chun and others entered the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, they started to cry and salute.
Especially Cao Zhen, a kind of veteran killer, burst into tears. They are all old brothers who have fought side by side with Lan Yu for many years. Their crying at this time is also from the bottom of their hearts and reveals their true feelings.
"Show them a seat!" Zhu Yunxi also felt sad, and then looked at Lan Chun, "Don't cry first, I called you here to tell you about your father's death!"
Lan Chun had a kind-hearted personality, which was completely different from Lan Yu. He choked and said, "I have no choice but to make the decision!" As he said this, he shed tears and said, "Hearing the news of my father's death, I am completely helpless!"
"Your father died in state affairs, I must not neglect it." Zhu Yunxi said, "Besides, your father is my blood relative, so he will naturally enjoy all the sorrow and honor after his death." After saying that, he sighed, "Mu Chun's memorial said, Your father's body has been placed in a coffin and is ready to be sent to the capital. Also coming to the capital will be the Yunnan chieftain Dao Meng Gan, as well as tens of thousands of Burmese prisoners."
"Your father must be given a state funeral. His wish during his lifetime was to be buried in his hometown. I will select strong men from the Burmese prisoners and return to Huaixi to build your father's tomb. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, God's grace!" Lan Chun choked and said, "It's just that my father said before his death that there is no need for a rich burial after death, and there is no need for a grand burial in the tomb. The only things to be buried with him are the armor and weapons he used during his lifetime, and the sword given by the late prince. That’s good!”
Why!
Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart, blue jade, blue jade, he understood it at the last moment of his life.
"That's the case, I'm with you!" Zhu Yunxi said lightly, turning to look at Cao Zhen and others, "Why did you come to see me? Are you afraid that I will be slow to deal with Lan Yu's death?"
"I don't dare!" Cao Zhen and others said in unison.
Then Cao Zhen stood up and saluted, "I ask the emperor to give me a favor!" He said with a scary look in his eyes, "Let me go to Yunnan to lead troops!"
"Your Majesty, Brother Lan's death cannot be in vain." Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shuangshao, said, "Let me lead the troops to Yunnan and massacre all the Burmese people to avenge him!"
"If you don't kill the clowns of the foreign countries, it will not be enough to comfort the spirits of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!" Dongguan Bo He Rong also said, "It will kill my general? I will turn the Burmese city into a white ground."
These old killers are gone, and with the addition of Zhu Gaoxu, a young killer, the land is not as simple as a white field, and I am afraid it will become a no man's land.
"I have already considered this matter in my mind, so you don't need to say anything more!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "I know that you and Lan Yu have been friends for most of your life, so you can stay in the capital for a long time. When the blue jade coffin and coffin are transported back to the capital, you will be able to return to the capital. Have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhen and others burst into tears.
At this moment, the bastard came in again and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Rites, are here. Please see them!"
"Pass!" Zhu Yunxi said.
Not long after, Li Jinglong and Xia Yuanji, whose eyes were red and swollen, came in one after another. Zheng Yi, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, had already submitted a letter asking to resign and return to his hometown, and Xia Yuanji temporarily took charge of the Ministry of Rites.
"Your Majesty, please bow to your Majesty!" Li Jinglong entered the palace, and when he saluted, his words were trembling, with a hint of crying.
"Your Majesty forgives me for my rudeness. I suddenly heard that Marshal Lan died in Yunnan in the battle. I..." Li Jinglong continued, "I am deeply saddened by the loss of my heart. My Ming Dynasty is deeply saddened by the loss of its famous commander. I am also..." Li Jinglong continued.
Lost a dear senior."
After saying that, Li Jinglong raised his head and said, "I know that the emperor treats Lan Shuai as a close relative. Please take care of the dragon's body and never hurt yourself with grief!"
