When Qingyan Maoxiang came in, he saw the back of Zhu Yunxi swinging the bait in his hand and feeding the fish.
"My lord, please see the emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi did not turn around, still looking at the koi with their heads floating on the water, fighting for the bait.
"Is there any movement in those little shrimps that I asked you to stare at before?"
Mao Xiang, who always had an expressionless face, said, "If you go back to the emperor, you are quite honest!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Lü Zhen, the former inspector of Peking, was transferred back to Beijing in the 28th year of Hongwu.
He is appointed as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is a mediocre official, but he is an excellent person and is very popular!"
"After Zheng Heng, the former Miyun Guard, was transferred to the right capital of Sichuan, he complained privately to his confidant Fa. However, he said that the south is not as good as the north, and the south has too few military exploits. There is no other difference!"
"Li Qing, the former censor of Youqian City, was first transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and then to the prefect of Shaoxing. He is an honest official and is quite capable of doing things. In the recent series of events in Z, he was not involved!"
Speaking of these, Mao Xiang opened his mouth and talked about them as if they were treasures from home.
Zhu Yunxi nodded frequently as he listened. He was a professional after all. Not long after Zhu Yunxi handed over these matters to him, he had already mastered them and covered them all.
Ever since Zhu Yunxi returned to Beijing from his expedition to Goryeo in the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, he had begun to carefully and step by step remove all of Zhu Di's right-hand assistants whom he had an impression of.
At the same time, each position was replaced by their own people.
He can be tolerant to King Yan Zhu Di, and he can also be tolerant to those people who were historically loyal to Zhu Di. However, he cannot tolerate it if these people are still involved with Zhu Di in private.
"None of the people the emperor asked me to look at did anything out of the ordinary. It's just Lu Zhen who has family members in Peking, so he writes two letters to his family every year. I don't know what he wrote before, but the latest one was before the Spring Festival, in the twelfth lunar month.
twenty-three!"
"I ordered someone to do the robbery on the way, so I quietly opened it and looked at it. They were all common things he said to his son!" At this point, he paused again, "However, I am not sure whether there are any secret words written there. My subordinates
People didn’t see it.”
Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed, "Haha, a letter from home?" Then he shouted outside, "Pu Wuyong, come in!"
"Your Majesty, my servant is here!"
"You go to the Ministry of Personnel to convey the order. Lu Zhen, the left minister of the Ministry of Hubu, will be transferred to the minister of war, and the military department will be assigned to the matter!" Zhu Yunxi ordered.
"My slave obeys the order!"
They are both ministers, but without the word "left" in front of them, they are completely different. The minister is considered to be the second-ranking figure in the Ministry of War, and the military department has a huge influence on the affairs. All the documents for the deployment of troops and horses in the world have to be handled.
"If you want to die, I will give you a push!"
Zhu Yunxi made a sarcasm in his heart, his eyes changing unpredictably.
When Pu Wuyong went down, Zhu Yunxi asked again, "Where are the others?"
Mao Xiang immediately said, "The King of Chu still indulges in sexual activities every day. After the Liaodong War last year, King Ning recruited many barbarian soldiers and horses under his command. Among them, the Tatar lord Meng Ge Buhua led 20,000 troops to join him!"
"The King of Valley trained his troops in Xuanhua, and his army guards became increasingly elite!"
"On behalf of the king, he acted cruelly in Datong and made countless money!"
With that said, Mao Xiang continued, "These two princes do have letters to send to Peiping, but they are all sent by military posts, so I can't rob them!"
Zhu Yunxi sneered in his heart, "Concubine Guo Hui's two sons are really brothers, they are all the same!"
In the original time and space, King Dai was demoted to a commoner in the Jianwen Dynasty due to his crimes. After Zhu Di came to power, he was restored to the title of king, but he still refused to change despite repeated admonishments. Zhu Di personally wrote to him to teach him a lesson, and King Dai still went his own way.
Not to mention King Gu, he opened the city gate of Yingtian Mansion to welcome Zhu Di into the capital. Later, after he was granted the title of Emperor in Changsha, he also dreamed of becoming an emperor.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi thought of something.
Immediately, he spoke coldly and asked Xiang Mao Xiang, "Tell me, King Yan has been planning for many years. Is there someone of his in the palace?"
"I don't know what happens in the palace!" Mao Xiang told the truth.
~~~~
The scene changes to the residence of King Zhu Di of Yan.
In the next room, the chatter and laughter of his wife and sons could be heard. Zhu Di, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, had a smile on his face.
Then, he smiled at Zhu Gaochi who was standing beside him and said, "Boss, sit down!"
"Yes, dad!" Zhu Gaochi agreed, took off his shoes and climbed up.
But he was too fat and it was inconvenient to cross his legs. He twisted his body for a long time and could only sit sideways.
Zhu Di frowned again and said, "Just sit down and don't move. If you go to this place, it's like a fucking earthquake!" He said, laughing and scolding, "You are so generous and fat. I have never seen you feel so aggrieved in the capital.
You lose a little bit of weight!”
Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said, "My son and his brothers are in the house without leaving the door. Every day is like a monkey scratching his heart. My son also has something on his mind. He just sits there and doesn't move all day. How can he not get fat?"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Di said again.
Immediately, he picked up the gilt silver thermos in front of him and slowly poured his son a cup of tea.
"Let's have tea instead of wine, let's meet one another!"
Zhu Gaochi took it and thought about it, "Dad, do you want to drink? The people in the house have already cleaned up the son. If you want to drink, just ask someone to bring it!"
"Clean up?" Zhu Di smiled, "What if it's not cleaned up? You and I are pretending to be sick and weak. We drank as soon as we came here. What will others think?"
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and sighed, "This trip to Beijing is actually very dangerous!"
Zhu Gaochi took the thermos with his backhand, filled Zhu Di with tea, and said, "Dad, not necessarily! The emperor told his son the day he met him, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistake!"
"That's not bowing your head to admit your mistake, that's confessing your guilt!" Zhu Di sneered, "He asked me to come here just to kowtow to him and apologize!" He said, sneering again, "My eldest brother also liked to do this back then, and several brothers
They are all controlled by him!"
Immediately, he sighed again, "It doesn't matter if you kowtow and apologize! If you don't give in a few times in your life, you can just find your place in the future. But in my heart, the most unreasonable one is your imperial grandfather!"
Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, "But the old man didn't see your business?"
Zhu Di nodded slowly, "If the old man sees me, everything will be discussed. If he doesn't see me, it means that the old man is angry!"
"Dad, maybe you are overthinking it!" Zhu Gaochi said slowly, "My son actually thinks that the emperor's grandfather is trying to protect you by not seeing you!"
"Oh?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it!"
"You think, if you meet the emperor's grandfather, with his old man's temperament, as long as he shows a little bit of soft-heartedness, the emperor will naturally be more tolerant of you! But in the future, when the emperor thinks of this, he will feel uncomfortable in his heart.
So happy!"
"On the other hand, since he doesn't see you now, he will let the emperor manipulate you and make you kowtow to apologize. Isn't this a kind of relaxation?"
"His old man is honoring Yong'an Palace and is the Supreme Emperor. He doesn't see you, firstly to save the Emperor's face, and secondly to ask you not to use him to make the Emperor worry!"
