Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and said, Your Highness, in fact, I and General Lan are just casual acquaintances!
Zhu Yunxi understood and said with a smile, "I know, there are two factions!"
There are no factions in the army, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun had a very good personal relationship, but they actually represented two kinds of elites in the military. One was the village party from the old man's hometown in Huaixi, and the other was the heroic men who joined the army after they raised their troops.
After Xu Da passed away and Chang Yuchun died young, Lan Yu rose to become a prominent figure in the Ming Dynasty army. The founding military officials seemed to be intertwined, but in fact they were divided into small teams one by one.
Xu Huizu didn't know how to answer Zhu Yunxi's words.
There is such a thing, I want to hear your opinion! Zhu Yunxi's face became solemn, his fourth uncle won another battle outside the Great Wall, have you heard?
I read the battle report and found out that King Yan fought brilliantly! Xu Huizu had something to say.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and continued, the war in the Ming Dynasty now depends on the border gate kings and the meritorious generals. They fought well, but there are also hidden worries. The meritorious generals are old, and the border gate kings are the vassal kings of the country.
, your status is valuable, always rush to the front, just in case anything goes wrong...
They fought all the battles at the border. These noble sons and young generals in the capital were not trained and promoted, and it was easy for military generals to fall through the ranks. Do you understand what Gu said?
I understand! Xu Huizu said, I am also worried about this matter. Many nominal generals in the Five Army Commandery Mansion have never fought in major battles. Moreover, the interior of the south is comfortable, so we and other warriors should not stay for a long time. If we stay for a long time, the soldiers will be lazy.
General is also lazy.
That's the truth! Zhu Yunxi touched his palms and smiled and said, So Gu Zai thought about selecting a group of young generals and going to the border to practice for a few years. Jade cannot be polished into a weapon, and the same is true for people!
Your Highness has foresight and foresight, and I admire you greatly!
This is a good thing, right? Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
Xu Hui's ancestor said, this is natural, and it will be of great benefit to the country and the army!
That’s good! Zhu Yunxi slapped the table and said with a smile, you can give me some advice for Grandpa Huang, and Gu can play the drums! He said and smiled again, Gu can’t talk about this directly, you also have to understand Gu’s difficulties!
He is the crown prince now, and his team is still a bit weak. Those young generals have not been baptized by the war, so they cannot always be trusted.
In a few years, let them go out and let them experience. In the future, they will be prepared.
It's just that he couldn't say this. The position of leading the troops was a carrot and a pit. Whether it was the veteran general in the court or the king of Sai at the border, Zhu Yunxi didn't want to irritate them too much.
Xu Huizu thought for a while, cupped his hands and said, "I accept the order!"
I leave this matter to you! Zhu Yunxi solemnly said, Gu, I can trust your character!
~~~~
After talking for a while, Xu Huizu resigned.
Zhu Yunxi was in the attic, pretending to pick up the book again.
There were slight footsteps on the stairs.
Your Highness, Lord Cao Guogong Li has arrived! The bastard said shamelessly.
Come up! Zhu Yunxi is still reading, giving him hot tea, and lighting sandalwood!
A moment later, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong slowly came up.
Today he does not wear iron armor, but wears a Jinxian crown on his head and a crimson official uniform embroidered with lions.
Sir, please see His Highness Taisun. Your Highness is a thousand years old! Li Jinglong knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
Zhu Yunxi didn't let him get up directly. He looked at him for a long time, until Li Jinglong felt his heart trembling, and then he sighed slightly.
Why!
This sigh immediately made Li Jinglong's legs weak again.
For some reason, his fear of his grandson was far greater than that of the former prince. In the past, the prince Zhu Biao pretended to understand and kept silent, so he could look good on his face. But the current one likes to rub other people's skin.
I haven't done anything bad recently! Li Jinglong thought to himself.
Come, give Duke Cao a seat! Zhu Yunxi said calmly.
Li Jinglong's buttocks were half touched by the stool, he sat uneasily and opened his mouth, wondering if His Highness would summon ministers...?
Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea slowly, still looking at the book in his hand. I heard that you and Duke Liang are very close?
Li Jinglong hurriedly said, Chen and General Lan are just acquaintances!
The most taboo thing for a monarch is for his ministers to be too united. Although Lan Yu is the great-uncle of the emperor's grandson, who knows what the emperor's grandson is thinking. For the sake of safety, Li Jinglong will not admit it.
.
Moreover, he and Lan Yu really only got along for the sake of appearance. If his father Li Wenzhong were here, Lan Yu might still be a little wary.
An acquaintance? Zhu Yunxi put down the book and said with a sideways smile, but looking at the secret report below, the general has had drinks with you several times since the commander returned to the court, and you also praised him during the dinner. The general is the king of the country.
The first general? Right?
With a thud, Li Jinglong knelt down on the spot, sweating like rain.
Your Highness, I... I can't shirk it. It's all about the road... It's just a matter of honor in the officialdom. Li Jinglong hurriedly
He said, Your Highness knows me, and everyone carries the so-called flower sedan chair. I have a good temper and don’t want to offend anyone...
Don’t you want to offend anyone? But you generals are secretly connecting together, drinking together every day, and discussing government affairs, so you are not afraid of angering the emperor! Zhu Yunxi suddenly said sharply, this is not that he is scaring Li Jinglong, but that he has really seen the report from Jin Yiwei,
There is also a memorial from the inspector censor.
There are already censors from the Supervisory Council to join you? The nobles and warriors of the country and the dynasty are collaborating together to discuss the government affairs, being unruly and domineering, and committing illegal acts!
Your Highness, I am wronged! Li Jinglong said in horror.
At this time, I was also yelling loudly in my heart, damn, which censor is participating in the impeachment? How come you only interfere with me and not others?
You don’t want to offend others, you want to be like the light, and you are good to him, and everyone is good to you. But do you know that you have made a big mistake for me, and how many times will you have to stand alone in front of Grandpa Huang to protect you? Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly,
For the sake of your father, I suppressed you last time. How long ago did you get into trouble again?
Li Jinglong felt regretful in his heart. Originally, he was not an ignorant person. However, he had regarded himself as one of Zhu Yunxi's own. The latter was in the East Palace, and he was a little distracted. That's why he messed with Lan Yu and the others.
combine together.
You should know that what bothers the emperor the most is that his ministers mingle with each other, especially the warriors.
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong was soaked in cold sweat. This was much more serious than the last time when he allowed his slaves to occupy the fields.
Your Highness, I... I am an acquaintance with the General. It’s just that the General and Your Highness have a close relationship, and I am His Highness’s confidant, so I was confused for a moment!
Oh? According to you, is it Gu's fault that you got mixed up with those generals?
I don’t dare! Li Jinglong kowtows, I, thanks to His Highness’s good offices, I have been able to protect my title and wealth time and time again. I am very grateful to Your Highness in my heart. I just...
If it weren't for the fact that you still have some conscience, I would be too lazy to tell you this! Zhu Yunxi sneered, you guy, you pretend to be smiling all day long unless something happens. But if something happens, you will pretend to be pitiful.
Li Jinglong heard that Zhu Yunxi's tone was a little loose, and said quickly, Your Highness, I am not pretending to be pitiful, but I can only count on you!
Counting on me? Zhu Yunxi snorted, this time you will have to peel off your skin even if you don’t die!
Fortunately, Li Jinglong didn't stand up, otherwise he would have to kneel down again.
Your Highness, you have thousands of people to speak kind words to my ministers, but my blood and flesh are thicker than water...
Grandpa Huang was furious! Zhu Yunxi interrupted him and looked around. Qian'er and the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Wei, had been talking all afternoon!
Huh? Li Jinglong was shocked, what?
Anyway, someone is going to be unlucky! Zhu Yunxi sneered again and glanced at Li Jinglong. You are right. You are someone I can use. Even if you are wrong, the lonely king will protect you!
Li Jinglong is very happy, thank you Your Highness!
But! Is Zhu Yunxu doing what he did? You have to let Grandpa Huang see that you have merit!
Li Jinglong was a smart man and said on the spot, "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"
Come over here!
Zhu Yunxi leaned against Li Jinglong's ear, you'd better go ahead and impeach General Lan Yu for being arrogant and domineering!
There was a thump, and Li Jinglong's heart twitched.
Impeach Lan Yu? Will he be chased to his home and beaten?
