Daming heir

Chapter 173 Deterrence Merit
The next day.

Early in the morning, there was a decree from the palace to be sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

The grandson of the emperor called the meritorious uncles of the five army governors to enter the palace for an audience and questioning.

After the emperor's grandson came back last night, although he was standing in the shadow behind the emperor's father, these people could see clearly.

The emperor's grandson was stained with blood.

This matter is very confusing and unpredictable.

Early in the morning, led by Founding Duke Chang Sheng, Liang Guo Gong Lan Yu, Cao Guo Gong Li Jinglong, Jing Chuanhou and other military generals of the five armies, including the meritorious generals Hou Bo, stepped into the gate of the imperial city in a team.

"What happened last night? It's obviously the old man's longevity, why did the grandson of the emperor go out and get covered in blood?"

On the long corridor behind the Hongwu Gate and in front of the Meridian Gate, Jing Chuan Hou Cao Zhen asked with a worried expression.

The dozen or so people around him are all fellow soldiers in the army, honored and honored in the court.But no one answered Cao Zhen's question.

Cao Zhen frowned: "Could it be played by the grandson of the emperor, right? Tang Li is going back to Beijing soon to return to the Dudu's Mansion and take charge of the imperial guards."

He didn't dare to say that the emperor's grandson wanted to force them to distribute the power in the army to Xin Guogong's family, but his frowning showed his thoughts.

Lan Yu immediately turned her head and glared at Cao Zhen.

Just as he was about to speak, he silently looked at Chang Sheng who was aside.

Even the unintentional can see the subtle changes in the military today. The former meritorious generals of King Kaiping's line in the past are all moving closer to the Chang family.

Lan Yu knew very well that such a change was not something he could reverse now.

At least before there was a big battle, he could only give up the position of the former meritorious military general of King Kaiping's line to Chang Sheng.

But it doesn't matter if you give it back to Chang Sheng, it's all his family to him.

After all, if there is a big war in the country, Chang Sheng can only sit in the Dudu Mansion and lead the rear, and he is the general who leads the army.

Chang Sheng felt the concession from his uncle.

He turned to look at Cao Zhen: "Do you think the grandson of the emperor would do such a fake trick in front of us? Could the blood still be chicken blood? After cutting off so many heads, I can't tell that it is Human blood?"

Cao Zhen was taken aback by the series of questioning, but he opened his mouth but was powerless to refute.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong smiled at the side, looked at everyone, and pressed his hands: "Don't worry, everyone. A few days ago, many families cleared their fields and paid half of the land property, and even fined them. The emperor's grandson What is the relationship with us? Even if we hit a board, we are willing to fight and suffer."

When he said this, Li Jinglong's eyes silently swept to Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, who was beside him.

A few days ago, Lan Yu was personally ordered by the emperor's grandson to beat her with a staff a hundred times.

Looking back, no, nothing happened.

Cao Zhen hummed twice, and glanced at Li Jinglong.

Last time Liang Guogong was punished, we people cleared the land, fined the salary and fined money, only you Cao Guogong's shit is useless!
Are you talking sarcastic right now?

These people have never been close to Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong felt that he was boring himself, turned his head wearily, and continued to walk towards the palace.

He only met the emperor's grandson two days ago, and he even got a promise.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the court now knows that Tangli entered the court on behalf of the government of Xinguo to balance the governor's mansion with the Kaiping king's line.

Under these two parties, Cao Guogong's mansion will probably become a confidant who is only valued by the emperor's grandson!

Everyone had their own thoughts and went all the way to the East Palace.

According to the order early this morning, the grandson of the emperor wanted to meet them in the small study of the East Palace.

In the small study of the East Palace at this time.

Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the chair with his chest upright, without moving his eyes, staring directly at a memorial in front of him, turning a page from time to time.

Behind him, there are two women, Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, one on the left and the other on the right.

Tang Queqing thought that in the past, he was the only one who served in this small study, but now suddenly there was another Mu Caiyun from Xiping Houfu, Yunnan.

It's only been two days, but Mu Caiyun's temperament has been grasped.

This is an ignorant and shy little girl. Just a few words of teasing by herself can make the little girl flush and shy.

It is often a burst of love in my heart.

At this time, Mu Caiyun was very nervous.

This was the first time since she entered the palace, she followed the emperor's grandson and met those court officials.

I hate my elder brother Mu Chun, who has been in front of the emperor's father all day these days, claiming that it is out of filial piety.

But how could she not guess what it was for.

It's not for the purpose of finalizing the marriage between himself and the emperor's grandson.

The elder brother was afraid that after returning to Yunnan, he would have his legs broken if he did not complete the tasks his father had instructed him to do.

At this moment.

Yu Tian, ​​who was guarding outside the small study, shouted.

"Third Lord, several princes have arrived."

In the small study, Zhu Yunxi's face turned cold for an instant, but he didn't say a word.

Outside, Yu Tian leaned his ear against the door, looked at the court princes in front of him after a while, and smiled apologetically.

"My lords, lords, and uncles, let's go in."

With that said, he pushed open the door of the small study.

Lan Yu and the others looked at each other, took a deep breath, shook their robes, and stepped into the small study.

Everyone joined hands in front of Zhu Yunxi.

He glanced at the two girls standing behind the emperor's grandson.

One represents the Xinguo Mansion, and the other represents the Xiping Hou Mansion.

However, it appeared under today's scene at the same time, and everyone's minds were full of speculation and awakening.

These meritorious generals are not the only ones above the court!

Led by Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, and Li Jinglong, everyone clasped their hands together and clasped their fists together: "Your servants will see the grandson of the emperor, and the grandson of the emperor will live forever."

Without saying a word, Zhu Yunxi quietly raised his head to look at the court meritorious generals who couldn't look at him because they were bowed.

Today is to bang them.

Let them stay like that for a while over there.

Sapphire and the others were already greatly puzzled.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, and they didn't dare to stand up.

But if they maintain this posture for a long time, even if they are veterans in the army, they will still feel that their waists are strained.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "They are all here."

This is not how the emperor's grandson treats them.

Sapphire and the others had doubts, and then slowly got up.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the crowd: "Last night, Gu took Jin Yiwei to kill people."

He is now the grandson of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he should be alone.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, it completely explained the doubts in Lan Yu's and others' minds, what exactly did the grandson of the emperor do last night.

Chang Sheng said immediately: "Who did the emperor's grandson kill last night?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the second uncle, his eyes were a little grave: "The envoy of the Ashikaga family, the traitor of the Japanese court, was planning to do something wrong. He fled out of the city privately last night, trying to kill the people of Ming Dynasty, and led people out of the city to kill them alone."

It turned out to be for this matter.

Chang Sheng was the first to react.

Yesterday, the Ashikaga plum butterfly was escorted out of the palace by the Imperial Army and handed over to Jin Yiwei to be guarded in the post house.

If it was a fault, it should also be Jin Yiwei's fault.

I just thought that a few days ago, the emperor's grandson confessed that he had dispatched soldiers who were good at water and fighting in the army, and ordered the Longjiang shipyard to gather warships.At this time, he had a feeling, but looking at Zhu Yunxi's face, he secretly suppressed it and never raised this matter.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already lightly knocked on the table.

A soft sound seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present.

Zhu Yunxi said coldly: "The majestic capital of the Ming Dynasty, guarded by tens of thousands of troops, managed to allow an envoy from all nations to abscond out of the city. Did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eat dry food, or did they say that the Dudu Mansion has been abandoned all these years, and they only cared about having fun? , Patronizing and encroaching on common people’s fields in their hometown?”

Really guilty!

Immediately, everyone including Chang Sheng knelt down.

"The minister waited for death, which caused the pirates to flee out of the city."

"You guys should be damned!" Zhu Yunxie said without stopping, "According to the old man's intention, he just wanted to take a few heads. If it wasn't for the lonely feeling, you and the others are all meritorious service to the state, Now I can still contribute to the country. I will never plead for you in front of the old man!"

The old man was really moved to kill.

For a while, everyone became more and more nervous.

Chang Sheng, as the leader of the meritorious military generals present at the court, had no choice but to say: "The minister is guilty. The crime lies in negligence of supervision. The crime lies in the laxness of the emperor, which caused the culprits to abscond out of the city."

Zhu Yunxi's face was gloomy: "You are indeed guilty. Your Majesty asked, if you can make the thieves escape from the city today, will you be able to let the thieves sneak into the imperial city tomorrow?"

These words are extremely serious, almost scolding the founding generals present as trash.

Chang Sheng knelt down on the ground and led everyone to plead guilty.

"The ministers and others live up to the holy grace, and they will be punished with death."

Zhu Yunxi patted the table: "Your Majesty's grace this time is considered to have forgiven you. But the capital is an important place, so don't slack off like this. From today onwards, don't think about going home to live the life of a rich master. They all go to the capital to sit in town, Practice it, straighten it out, and follow through with orders.”

Cao Zhen and the others felt relieved.

Chang Sheng also took the lead to kowtow: "The ministers kowtow to thank the Holy Grace, and kowtow to the emperor grandson for forgiveness."

At this time, Zhu Yunxi said again: "Tang Li will be returning to Beijing in two days. You are practicing in the Beijing camp to rectify, and the Five Armies Governor's Mansion will be handed over to him to rectify. If there are thieves coming and going freely in Yingtian City next time When things happen, even Gu can't keep you safe!"

This is the person who, after beating and forgiving, made it clear to them that after Tang Li returned to Beijing, he would be arranged by Tang Li to enter Xin Guogong's mansion in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

This is telling them in advance to get along well.

Chang Sheng and the others could only respond sincerely.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi slowly lean back on the chair.

"The New Year's Eve is coming, and the local government has paid a lot of good silk and satin for the year. You should be at ease when you practice and organize in the camp. Later, I will ask Miss Tang to bring people to send some silk and satin to each house. Ladies and gentlemen, make some new clothes for the festival."

There was never a shortage of silk and satin fabrics for new clothes in the homes of the great heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

But everyone knows that the important point is that the grandson of the emperor wants Tang Nuguan, that is, Tang Queqing, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Xin Guo, to deliver these gifts to each family.

This is another gesture of goodwill after the beating.

Sending some materials for making clothes is something that only those who are close to them will do.

At this time, Chang Sheng became more and more satisfied.

Although he knew that even though he was Zhu Yunxi's second uncle, the court would never allow the Chang family to dominate.

However, the emperor's grandson is very skillful in using rewards now, and he has never lost this intimacy. He is already satisfied.

Everyone thanked immediately.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands: "Go, get organized, and pay close attention to the soldiers in the training camp."

When everyone was about to get up and leave.

But Zhu Yunxi said suddenly: "Cao Guogong stay."
