Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 381 The prince was pissed off by the old emperor!
Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu triumphantly.

"Uncle, what do you think of the triumphant ceremony I made? It's better than those trash from the Ministry of Rites, right?"

Sapphire gave a thumbs up with a smile, and then pointed to the upper gate of the city gate.

"Stop being embarrassing, look behind you first!"

"Behind..."

"Who is it?"

"Look up, the city gate is upstairs!"

"Old Zhutou!"

When Lan Yu heard this address, she almost burst out laughing.

This nephew is so awesome, he dared to call His Majesty the Emperor Old Zhutou!
"I feel like His Majesty the Emperor is angry, you'd better be careful today!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't care about authenticity.

"fine!"

"The old man is angry every day, and I don't even bother to talk to him!"

"By the way, how is my second uncle, do you miss me?"

"Your uncle..."

Thinking of Chang Sheng, Lan Yu suddenly had a mysterious smile on her face.

He hugged Zhu Yunxi tightly to the carriage, and whispered in his ear.

"Let's tell you something, don't let it slip!"

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, there's not much fighting in the frontier. I took the initiative to choose many things, just to keep your second uncle there!"

"Uh uh?"

Zhu Yunxi was at a loss for words when he heard this, thinking that Sapphire had too many eyes, was this to guard against Old Zhu?
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's expression, Lan Yu immediately laughed.

"be careful and live long!"

"Although your grandpa likes you very much now, who knows if there will be any changes in the future?"

"In short, it's always good for us to hold the military power in our hands. If someone dares to harm you, or if someone has the desire to abolish the establishment, your second uncle and I can support you to become emperor!"

When Lan Yu said this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and there was an unquestionable firmness in her tone!

"Uncle, you..."

Zhu Yunxi originally wanted to say that their worries were too much, but when he thought that it was the concern from the elders, he took it back.

"never mind!"

"I take your love!"

While the two were whispering, there was a "dong dong" sound from the wall of the carriage, and then Erhu's broken voice was heard shouting.

"Emperor grandson, the emperor asked you to come over!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted to the outside without thinking.

"Don't go!"

"My uncle and I..."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was so disgusted with Lao Zhu's order, Lan Yu felt overjoyed.But he still carried Zhu Yunxi outside, and threw it to Erhu who was bewildered.

"Zhu Yunxi, be respectful to your grandpa!"

"Hurry up, don't make your grandpa wait!"

"oh oh……"

Zhu Yunxi muttered in displeasure.

"I really don't want to go. The old man must have no good looking for me. He must scold me again..."

Erhu couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

The grandson of the emperor feels too good about himself, right?
How could the emperor be willing to scold him, hang him on the city gate and beat him up!
When Lao Zhu saw Ni Sun climbing the city wall, he finally had a place to vent his pent-up anger.

However, just as he was about to slap him, he heard Ni Sun shouting.

"Grandfather, look..."

Lao Zhu subconsciously looked under the city wall, and then heard Ni Sun shouting.

"Look, everyone, your emperor is coming to visit you!"

Zhu Yunxi's condescending voice directly attracted the attention of everyone outside the city gate.

Seeing tens of thousands of people in the city staring at him, Lao Zhu hurriedly put a smile on his face and waved his hand downwards.

Just when Lao Zhu was scratching his head and wanted to say something, Ni Sun next to him spoke again.

"Grandpa Huang said, you soldiers have worked hard!"

When Jing Haijun under the city heard this, he subconsciously yelled a word like a conditioned reflex.

"Be loyal to Daming!"

The veterans brought back by Lan Yu heard Jing Haijun's recruits shouting like this, and they also shouted.

"Be loyal to Daming!"

When Lao Zhu heard the overwhelming shouts, the smile on his face finally became a little more sincere.

Xiao Nisun's new army has done a good job, this sentence won my heart!
In fact, Zhu Yunxi originally wanted to use "serving the people", but was strongly opposed by Fu Youde and Tang He, so he changed it to be loyal to "Da Ming".

After being swayed by Ni Sun, Lao Zhu quickly entered the role of emperor, cleared his throat, and shouted to the soldiers below.

"We know that you have fought wars, and we know that you have made meritorious deeds!"

"We won't lose you, and Daming won't lose you either!"

"Your blood will not be shed in vain!"

After Lao Zhu yelled these words, just as Zhu Yunxi wanted to repeat them, he saw Qin Deshun yelling ahead of time with a male voice.

Not to mention, the old man's voice is quite loud.

Although the voice was a bit shrill, its penetrating power was quite good, and even the panting sounds of tens of thousands of people under the city were suppressed.

After Qin Deshun repeated His Majesty's words with a human-shaped loudspeaker, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi proudly, thinking that this is my job, and you, the grandson of the emperor, have the nerve to snatch it from me?

How could Zhu Yunxi not see Qin Deshun's arrogant little eyes, but he was too lazy to talk to this guy.

If it wasn't for Lao Zhu standing by the side, he would have to rush over to ask Qin Deshun, if Zhu Yunxi dares to make up nonsense, how dare you, Qin Deshun?

After hearing Qin Deshun's retelling, the soldiers in the city shouted in unison, whether they were recruits from the Jing Navy or veterans brought back by Lan Yu.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

For a time, the sound of "long live" resounded everywhere under the city wall, and Lao Zhu also lost himself in the sound of long live that destroyed the mountain, recalling the glorious years of the past.

In a flash, he has set off ten northern expeditions.

During the Northern Expeditions again and again, the soldiers died, got old, wounded, and disabled, and most of them themselves were buried in the ground!
Lao Zhu is easy to float when he is emotional, and it is easy to scoop up people when his mouth is floating.

Ever since, Lao Zhu yelled a word to the soldiers who were eagerly looking forward to him below, which made him feel so distressed that he couldn't sleep for several days.

"All generals and soldiers!"

"This beheading is meritorious, and those who kill the enemy and the disabled will be rewarded with a hundred taels of platinum!"

The so-called platinum is actually silver.Just say Platinum sounds nicer, that's all.

Lao Zhu is kind enough to shout like this, if he is not kind, he would just call "golden thousand taels".

Because the so-called golden thousand taels are nothing more than the four words "golden thousand taels" printed on the special large copper coins.

It sounds nice, but it's actually not worth a tael of silver.

After hearing the news, Chen Zongli, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, rushed to the bottom of the city gate when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's Lion speak loudly.

He was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead burst out on the spot.

The soldiers accompanying Sapphire this time, at least 100 taels were disabled, if all were rewarded with 100 taels of silver, it would be [-] million taels of silver!
The national treasury is only a little surplus, and the old emperor is just tossing around like this, and let people live!

Whether Chen Zongli was in a hurry, or after Qin Deshun finished repeating Lao Zhu's words, he climbed up the city wall out of breath.

When he heard the sound of long live the city wall descending like a tsunami, there was only one thought in his mind.

Finished!

My Minister of the Household Department has become a pauper again!

However, Lao Zhu continued to promise as if he still had something to say.

"All officials are promoted to one level!"

"Even ordinary sergeants, we will make proper arrangements for you, and we will never let you sweat, bleed and cry!"

Under Lao Zhu's repeated beatings, the disabled veteran brought back by Lan Yu instantly regained his spirits, looked at the city gate tower with excited and eager eyes, and looked at the old man swaying in the wind.

This is their Majesty, and their Majesty personally promised them that he will make proper arrangements for them!
Your Majesty has never lied to anyone, and he will definitely not lie this time either!
After Lao Zhu said a lot, he immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the camp.

When he came down from the city wall, he woke up instantly after being blown by a small wind.

At this moment, only one voice echoed in his head.

What did you just say?
Seeing that Ni Sun was about to run again, Lao Zhu immediately grabbed him, grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the shoulders.

"Follow us back to the palace!"

"Grandfather, I haven't said to disband yet, you should wait until I issue a military order before leaving!"

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu immediately became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly glanced outside the door.

Sure enough, the soldiers brought back by Lan Yu had already dispersed in an orderly manner, only Zhu Yunxi's Jing Haijun still stood upright outside the city gate, as if waiting for Zhu Yunxi's military order.

"Xiao Nisun, it's interesting. Is this the old wisdom of Xiliuying, or the old wisdom of Hun Maodun?"

"Could it be that the next step is that you shoot an arrow at us, and the [-] soldiers outside the door follow in unison, and shoot us directly into hedgehogs?"

Chen Zongli, who was weeping, turned pale with fright when he heard the old emperor's vicious words.

At this time, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Zhu Yunxi, and even a little sympathetic to the late prince Zhu Biao.

It's really not a human thing to be a prince or grandson for such an emperor.

Among other things, let's just talk about the ubiquitous "venomous tongue" of the old emperor. If his psychological quality is almost there, he can be played to death by this old man!
He now seriously suspects that Prince Yiwen was pissed to death by the old emperor!
Seeing that Lao Zhu's words were so unpleasant, Zhu Yunxi made a face directly at Lao Zhu.

"Grandfather, you are overthinking."

"If your grandson learns from Modun, you always want to be a hedgehog?"

"Let me tell you this, [-] guns are aimed at you, and you can't even leave a scumbag!"

Lao Zhu's face turned black with anger when he heard Dasun's unreasonable words.

Chen Zongli beside him burst out laughing on the spot when he heard the emperor's grandson's words.

He now understands why Qin Kui likes the emperor's grandson, and only the emperor's grandson can cure that old poisonous dragon!
After Zhu Yunxi said these words, he ran away erratically, as if he was afraid of being caught by Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi who was running like a rabbit, and thought bitterly, you little bastard, you can run like a monk and a temple?

Waiting for you to enter the palace, we will not beat your ass into eight petals, and our surname is not Zhu!

Zhu Yunxi ran outside the gate, and after Jing Haijun gave the order to disband and return to the camp, he didn't even dare to enter the city gate, so he detoured directly to the blacksmith workshop outside the Taiping Gate. The masses, start the first battle to increase production and efficiency!
This made Lao Zhu so angry that he wrote three letters a day urging him to return to Beijing, and even repeatedly promised in the letters that he would never beat him or scold him.

However, no matter how old Zhu was fooling around, Zhu Yunxi made up his mind not to go back.

One is that there is really a need to watch over here, and the other is that there is nothing wrong with going back, it is nothing more than eating with Lao Zhu, or being hung up by Lao Zhu as a fitness equipment.

Lao Zhu really didn't want to beat his grandson to play this time. The reason why he was so eager to ask him to go back was because he wanted to discuss with him how to arrange the disabled veterans and the military exercises in a while.

Originally, he wanted his eldest grandson to "show a ugliness" in the military exercise, and then tuck his tail to be a grandson, and don't cock his tail at every turn.

But after looking at Jing Haijun's array, Lao Zhu's thinking went wrong.

He felt that instead of letting Dasun "show his ugliness", it is better to let the vassal kings see Dasun's military strength and let them tuck their tails to be vassal kings.

Anyway, for the Ming Dynasty after his death, no matter whether it is the heir or the vassal king, as long as there is a cessation, the world of the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic.

However, after calling the grandson several times to no avail, Lao Zhu angrily issued an imperial edict to the vassal kings.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple. He will lay off the two guards whoever comes last in this military exercise!

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king had only three guards in total.

If the two guards were abolished by the court, there would only be 5000 people left.These 5000 people not only have to guard the palace, but also guard the land, and even fight with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southwest barbarians from time to time, which is not enough at all.

Therefore, after the decree was issued, the feudal lords everywhere immediately panicked.

Those who ordered weapons and armor at the beginning made additional orders one after another, and those who had not ordered before also donated generously this time.

Those who have a surplus in the fief are directly taxed, and by the way, next year's tax is also collected.

Those with poor fiefdoms were pawned and sold. Selling houses and land was considered a small matter. Qi Wang Zhu Mi even sold the entire palace, just to raise more money and improve the equipment for the army.

For these vassal kings who hold military and political power, as long as they have soldiers in their hands, what is lost now will come back sooner or later.

Once his military power is deprived, or severely reduced, it will be meaningless whether he is a vassal king or not.

Compared with the worries of other vassals, Zhu Di was more entangled.

Because what he thought at the beginning was to hide his clumsiness, that is, not to show off in the military exercise, and try to hide his strength as much as possible.

Yao Guangxiao also has the same opinion. Weapons and armor should be bought or bought, but they cannot be equipped.

At the very least, it cannot be used during military exercises in Beijing.

However, after receiving the latest decree from His Majesty the Emperor, both the gloomy Zhu Di and the resourceful Yao Guangxiao were stunned.

What does His Majesty the Emperor mean by this move?
Is it to scare them on purpose and force them to use their full strength?
Or do they have other plans, other ulterior motives?
In fact, the reason why Lao Zhu came up with this idea was just to let them clear up some positions so that he could arrange for the injured soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

But this decree is more or less intimidating.

According to his thinking, he wanted to use the [-] disabled soldiers brought back by sapphire to exchange for [-] intact elite soldiers from the hands of your sons.

Although this sounds a bit excessive, in fact, as long as each feudal lord allocates one thousand, all the 1 people can be settled properly.

In this way, he not only fulfilled his promise to the soldiers, but also exchanged Dasun for [-] elite soldiers!
perfect!
