Chapter 118: To Get Rich (2)

Both letters are ready and put into envelopes.

Zhu Yunwen sat on a chair and his eyes fell on the calligraphy of famous artists hanging on the wall.

Peace and tranquility!

Now, don’t do anything. Since Yan Fan’s side is unreliable, then continue to wait. According to the original plan, when Yan Fan and Zhu Yunxi fight, the mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole will follow.

While waiting, he secretly eliminated those enemies without anyone noticing.

Since you, Dao Yan, can put the blame on me, then I, Zhu Yunwen, can also give you Yan Fan some trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen slowly opened the drawer of his desk, and there were several exquisite porcelain vases inside.

Someone, call Nanny Zhao!

After giving the order, three to five moments later, an old nanny walked into the study alone.

Why does the prince call his slave?

Although she was an ordinary nun, Zhu Yunwen was extremely polite. He stood up in person and helped the other party sit down. Jin Fan needs you to contact her! After saying that, he handed a porcelain vase into the other party's hands.

Aunt Zhao had no expression on her face, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of it!"

Be careful! Zhu Yunwen said sincerely, apart from you, I don’t have any relatives around me!

Aunt Zhao's old face showed full of kindness.

Brother Wen, don’t be afraid, grandma is here! I will do a good job for you!

When he heard Brother Wen's nickname, Zhu Yunwen instantly burst into tears. He squatted down gently and lay on his old grandma's knees. The latter kept stroking his hair and shedding tears together.

Don't cry, you are a man now. Your Majesty is watching you in heaven. Ever since you were born, she has been looking forward to you becoming a man. It's a pity that in this world, we are the only ones left to accompany you.

Brother!

Fortunately, the empress was kind-hearted and did not want us to die in the palace. She gave us sisters to the palaces of various vassals. Otherwise, we would have accompanied the empress long ago under the emperor's knife!

As she said that, Aunt Zhao's wrinkled face showed a bit of ruthlessness, "Brother Zhun, we will avenge whoever harms the empress!"

At that time, Mrs. Lu was promoted from a concubine and became Zhu Biao's crown princess. In the palace for more than 20 years, she had always pretended to be tolerant and generous, easy-going, and a kind-hearted person. She also had a noble status, so she was naturally attracted to her.

A group of diehard loyalists.

Moreover, there is something that, except Zhu Yunwen, even the old man does not know.

The Jin Yiwei had spies in all the princes' palaces and were directly responsible to the emperor. Zhu Biao's spies were the maids and maids given to the feudal princes by the Lu family.

Their relatives also worked for Lu. The old man thought he had killed everyone, but little did he know that under his butcher's knife, these people gathered around him Zhu Yunwen again.

Mammy, tell the other side to give him the medicine slowly and let him die slowly! Zhu Yunwen said bitterly.

He hated all his uncles.

He was also their biological nephew, but what he had seen since he was a child was how much his uncles loved the son born to the Chang family, and they always seemed to be at a distance from him.

There was also the old man's birthday party that year. He saw with his own eyes how intimate and harmonious the uncle and nephew were.

As for him, no one looked at him twice!

When his mother was still alive, he told him that once you ascend to the throne of God one day, the people you need to guard against most are none other than your second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle.

Because none of them will obey you!

It's a pity that he has no one in Prince Yan's mansion, otherwise...

Brother Zhun! Aunt Zhao said again, there is not much of that medicine left, do you want me to go find the Taoist priest again and refine some?

There are two more servings, which is enough! Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly.

One copy, for the emperor's grandfather. The other copy...

Give it to Zhu Yunxi! Aunt Zhao said.

Zhu Yunwen slowly shook his head. If it succeeds, of course I will give it to him. If it doesn’t succeed, I will keep it for myself!

You are not allowed to say that! Aunt Zhao lovingly hugged Zhu Yunwen and choked with sobs, "I don't allow you to say that! Brother Wen, let them die and we will live!"

~~~

Capital, Forbidden City.

As the saying goes, treat it as food in the first year.

In the second year, I felt a little tired.

In the third year, he escaped and fled.

Zhu Yunxi felt a little weak and let the eunuch help him wash himself. He thought to himself, I am a little tired of it. If this continues, I will flee!

In contrast to his weakness, Tang Pang'er's face was rosy and his energy was full of energy. Under her guidance, the palace servants arranged breakfast.

Don’t eat too much meat, it will cause internal heat!

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi particularly misses the porridge and side dishes in Zhang Ronger's palace, and even more misses the steamed buns and tofu nao in Zhao Ning'er's palace.

Suddenly, a sad face appeared in his mind.

Miaoyun?

How many days have I not been close to her!

Your Highness, let's have a meal! Tang Pang's voice called Zhu Yunxi back to reality.

There are too many women, which is troublesome! Zhu Yunxi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After dinner, government affairs were still being dealt with, and a group of ministers were still watching, just like parents watching their children doing homework.

But compared to the past, Zhu Yunxi is much more calm now.

Picking up the top fold, it was obviously the latest one because the color of the fold's cover was different from the others. It looked like it was a military memorial.

Ha, not bad! Zhu Yunxi took one look at it and said with a smile, Mu Chun won the battle in Yunnan!

The memorial stated that Dao Meng, the Burmese chieftain on the Yunnan border, had a disrespect for the Celestial Empire and was dissatisfied with Wang Hua, so he gathered 16,000 people to cause rebellion.

The Yunnan commander sent 8,000 troops, plus 10,000 other chieftains who were loyal to the imperial court. At the end of several days of fighting, the artillery fired with force and broke through the gate of Daomeng's village, killing chieftain Daomeng and more than 200 of his nephews and relatives.

Among them, the deputy general Zhang Fu was extremely brave.

The Daomeng camp was built in an old forest. There were many traps and the army could not move forward. Zhang Fu asked for orders and led the death squad to go deep alone. Before breaking the camp and charging, Zhang Fu took the lead again and got six heads.

After the war, Zhang Fu suffered several injuries and was bleeding profusely.

It’s not in vain, I will treat you with a sincere heart! Zhu Yunxi said to himself.

As for the officials, they didn't look very excited after hearing the battle reports. Now that the Ming Dynasty is victorious in every battle, there is no longer much interest in wars involving less than 50,000 people on the frontier.

But Zhu Yunxi had other ideas.

My dear friends, in border areas such as Yunnan and Guizhou, the chieftains have repeatedly turned the tables and killed many people. Although it is a small war involving tens of thousands of people, if it is like this every year, the money, food and troops consumed by the court are not a small number!

Fu Youwen of the Ministry of Revenue said, Your Highness is wise, those barbarians are disobedient to the king and have no sense of shame!

If you don't accept Wang Hua, just let them accept it! Zhu Yunxi said, "Didn't Mu Chun's excerpt say that there are still people over there who are convinced by the imperial court and are willing to give us chieftains to guard the border areas in the Ming Dynasty?"

Saying that, he smiled slightly and conveyed the decree that the governor of Yunnan should select the sons of close relatives of the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty and let them go to Beijing to study. At the same time, let's discuss giving these chieftains some nice-sounding and nice-looking hereditary official positions!

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers suddenly became enlightened.

That's right, since he doesn't obey Wang Hua, just let him obey.

Let the successors of the chieftains go to the capital to study, firstly, as protons. Secondly, those barbarians will become closer to me, the Ming Dynasty, after studying. Thirdly, in the future, these people will return to the fiefdom to inherit the position of chieftain, and the court can legitimately dispatch officials.

, assist in handling government affairs.

In this way, within a dozen years, these chieftains would become ministers of the Ming Dynasty. It was almost easy for the imperial court to implement the establishment of counties in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Thinking of this, several veterans who had taught Zhu Yunxi were greatly relieved.
