Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 589 Untitled
After a discussion, it was finally decided.

The specific regulations were naturally completely concealed.

However, in public, Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was given the title of censor of Zuodu, and he was dispatched to inspect military affairs in Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, Gansu, Xuanda, Jizhen, etc., and gave Shangfang a sword to act cheaply.

It can be said that almost the entire northern frontier affairs were handed over to him.

As for granting Fangjian, it is based on special killing and cheapness. It was implemented during the "Three Wanli Marches" during the Wanli period. Because of its good effect, it was loved by the emperor.

As the No. 1 sword bestowed to Shang Fang during the Shaowu period, Lu Daqi's status in the court has risen sharply, and there are even rumors that he will join the cabinet after completing his assignment.

For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of Lu's house, shoulders rubbing against each other, it was a lively scene, no less than that in the vegetable market.

It's a pity that ever since he got such an assignment, Lu Daqi understood the heavy burden on him, and he was unwilling to easily hand over the responsibility to others, and immediately closed the door to thank the guests.

However, the city of Beijing is a bit shallow after all, and there are too many big figures hidden, so Lu Daqi had to compromise.

No, as soon as the door was closed, the back door on one side was forced to open to welcome the distinguished guests.

"Young Master You, please hurry up—"

The butler bowed his body and led the young man into the house with a smile.

Although You Xiuwen looked like a martial artist, his dignified demeanor revealed all manners and rules, and he entered the house carefully:

"Thanks for your hard work."

After arching his hands, he walked away in small steps.

Soon, he entered the side hall and saw Lu Daqi with a calm expression.

"My nephew, You Xiuwen, has met Lu Shishu."

Lu Daqi stroked his beard, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

You Shiwei was born in the frontier army, and has been a military household for generations. It can be said that he has no shortage of bravery, but the literary work is difficult.

This little Duke has a dignified and generous demeanor. Although he is in his twenties, he does not have the arrogance of a young man, and does not have the arrogance of a nobleman, which is really rare.

"You and I know each other well, don't see each other, get up!"

Lu Daqi smiled and asked someone to serve good tea.

After tasting like this for a while, You Xiuwen had to bow his head, and said: "I heard that Uncle Shi is inspecting the border town. Although my father is not in the capital, my nephew will also give me a small gift..."

Lu Daqi shook his head slightly, holding the teacup in his hand, he was extremely steady, but he said firmly: "Nephew, I'm afraid it's not good for melon fields and plums to grow now."

Of course he understood that the You family's coming at this time must have a deep meaning.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to know about the imperial court's rectification of the frontier army, but for nobles like them, it is just a matter of leisure.

Especially the You family, as a hereditary thousand households, after more than a hundred years, the You family finally ushered in the eruption in the Chongzhen Dynasty. You Shiwei served as the commander-in-chief, guarding Juyong and Changping.

Since then, his brothers You Shilu, You Shigong and others have also ascended to positions one after another, becoming guerrillas and generals.

However, his family lived in Yulin Town, so it can be said that there are many in-laws and relatives and friends everywhere, which is why he still counterattacked the invaders in a desperate situation in history, causing the whole city to be killed.

Such a large family in the army, with its vast land, can be imagined. During the period when the frontier army collapsed, it must be carrying a hoe and digging the hardest.

Naturally, Lu Daqi refused to get involved. If this promise was made lightly, there would be no good fruit to eat. This task of his would be anticlimactic.

"Uncle Shi is responsible for the heavy responsibility. I don't know what my nephew is. It's just that although my You family's ancestral home is in Nanzhi Huaiyou, we have lived in Yulin for generations. If there is anything that can help, please feel free to speak."

Lu Xiuwen's words were more tactful.

How good it is to cover yourself while helping.

Lu Daqi's heart moved when he heard this.

The military town is intricate and complicated, if there is really a guide, it will be a quick knife to cut the mess, and it will be very happy.

Only in this way, compromise is indispensable.

If it's normal, it's okay. After all, politics is not a battlefield. It's either you or me. Compromise is normal.

However, this is contrary to his principles, or let the emperor down.

In this way, won't it be yellow to join the cabinet?It's easy now, but you'll regret it later.

"Nephew, I know that you didn't come here for yourself, but with other people's expectations, but you have to remember."

Lu Daqi's determination became stronger and stronger, he said in a deep voice: "Now that your family has moved from Yulin to Beijing, the state-gifted Duke's Mansion is magnificent and enviable to others, isn't it better than the sand-eating Yulin?"

"To use a folk saying, eating in a bowl and looking into the pot is not acceptable."

You Xiuwen froze, the muscles on his body tensed, and he immediately propped up the loose robe, looking extraordinarily majestic.

This made Lu Daqi look sideways, he really thought he was a literati, but he was actually a martial artist!
He immediately understood that this was Lu Daqi's suggestion.

yes!The You family is already a duke of the state, but in fact, the titles are decreasing, and that is only when they reach the viscount. They are rich and honored, and they are fellow practitioners with the country. At this time, they are still staring at Yulin, causing trouble for the emperor and the court.

How can you know that you won't kill heroes today if you are afraid of others?

The great grandfather during the founding period was very close to military generals, and the iron curls of the alchemy books seemed to be free of money. Who can guess the emperor's mind?
You Xiuwen's back immediately broke out in cold sweat, and his heart palpitations continued.

Hastily clasped his hands and said: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your reminder, my nephew will leave."

Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "It is my duty to serve the imperial court."

Lu Daqi was taken aback, then smiled, he is a smart man after all.

"Master, do you want to keep the door?" asked the butler beside him.

"No need, don't pay attention to whoever comes to see you."

Lu Daqi waved his sleeves gracefully, and said with a light smile, "It's been a lot easier for a while."

At this time, in the imperial palace, Zhu Jing, the commander of Beijing Zhongcheng Army and Horse Division, was staying by the side of the grass, watching the emperor swinging a pole to play.

The flat grass, barbed clubs, and several holes on the ground made Zhu Jing scratch her head, really not understanding what kind of game it was.

But he watched the emperor having fun, so he didn't care about that.

"You have been in the capital for almost a year!"

Suddenly, the emperor took off his coat, revealing the white soft silk shirt inside, and sat down on the soft bamboo chair, obviously very tired.

"It's been almost fifteen months since the second year of Shaowu."

Zhu Jing said in a tone of voice.

Even if he was close to the emperor, he didn't dare to overdo it presumptuously. After entering the officialdom, he had to cherish such a relationship even more.

"Fifteen months!!"

Zhu Yixi shook his head and sighed: "You are almost nineteen, and seven years have passed without you knowing it."

"I found a good match for you, choose a good time this month to get married!"

"This, Your Majesty, is it too urgent?" Zhu Jing couldn't help but said.

"I sent you a good mission, don't rush!"
