I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 288 The Intertwined Conspiracy

"Yes, you guessed it right." Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly: "In a few days, the sage will order the world to move its capital to Beiping.

"At that time, the emperor will guard the border!"

I have to say that the appearance of Zhu Zhanji is indeed a blessing to Li Kui.

He thought about transferring to Jingnan, but the family had already moved the capital to Beiping.

When it comes to here.

Zhu Zhanji stood up, with a vigorous face and a majestic figure. "The sage not only moved his capital to the north, but also placed his mausoleum in Beiping. His courage and arrogance overwhelmed the monarchs of all dynasties. Such achievements are unprecedented. The sage will leave the strongest stroke in the history books.

"Become the most powerful and greatest emperor!"

It is not difficult to see that Zhu Zhanji, who has followed Zhu Di since childhood, is a proper fanatic fan.

Thinking about the territory and military strength of the Ming Empire today, it seems not surprising.

Li Kui lowered his eyes slightly.

The question and answer at this moment made him think more.

As the emperor of the empire, Zhu Di knew everything about the empire's finances, food and grass, and information from all over the world.

It is very likely that he deliberately let go of the public opinion that instigated the second Northern Expedition as a pretext for moving the capital.

Because during the first Northern Expedition, most of the grasslands suitable for raising cattle, sheep and horses in Mobei had been included in the territory.If you want to cut grass and roots again, you have to search for those tribes in the vast grassland, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, if you really want to go to the Northern Expedition again, you need to make sufficient preparations!

"I'm a little excited, hahaha..."

Zhu Zhanji smiled.

Chen Hu behind him immediately refilled the cup with hot water.

"Li Kui, I want to know what you think of Wala's conspiracy this time?" Zhu Zhanji's love for talents was so strong at the moment, he asked again and again.

a long time,

Li Kui just said: "It has been carefully planned for a long time!"

"Yes, those prairie barbarians must have colluded with many monsters, including filthy things, and most importantly, what did the Vala Jurchen and other ministries find three years ago, so that they claimed to have found the power of the so-called longevity! "

Zhu Zhanji took a sip of the hot water and said slowly.

"Your Highness doesn't know?"

"I don't know, you've also seen those prairie barbarians. Each of them has weird tattoos on their faces. These tattoos will disappear after they die, and even their souls will evaporate out of thin air!"

"But I remember that some Oirats didn't have tattoos on their faces."

"Li Kui, do you know about seeds?

"The tattoos on their faces are like seeds. If they don't reach a certain level of strength, the tattoos won't take root, but they must exist!"

"Didn't you catch one alive?"

"Caught it, once it is mentioned, it will be wiped out!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "The northern grassland has been a serious problem in the Central Plains since ancient times, not to mention that Emperor Taizu overthrew the Northern Yuan Dynasty to win the world."

He paused, then continued:
"Today is different. With the current military strength of the empire, no one can stand against the edge. During the first Northern Expedition, we easily captured a large area of ​​rich grassland, but it is a pity that the only remaining grassland tribes fled further north.

"But right now...the situation has changed strangely. Those prairie barbarians seem to be plotting something. Grandpa is very worried. This is the reason why he insisted on launching the second Northern Expedition to clear up future troubles!"

Zhu Zhanji did not call Zhu Di a saint in front of Li Kui, but expressed it with a more intimate name. It can be seen that he really regards Li Kui as his own, and at the same time expresses his importance to Li Kui.

In this regard, Li Kui's heart is like a bright mirror.

After serious consideration, he said in an orderly manner:
"Your Highness should know that nomads like Oala have a different way of life from the Central Plains. The northern part of Mobei is alpine and arid, and they need to roam and graze collectively all year round to ensure scarce water resources and sustainable rotation of pastures.

"But now most of the rich grasslands in Mobei are in our hands, what do they rely on to feed their soldiers and horses?"

At this time, Li Kui looked at Zhu Zhanji sharply.

"There were at least 6 grassland barbarians who raided the border in February this year. With so many people, where would they hide?

"I think the incident in Wenhe Village has already told us the answer."

"..."

silence.

Zhu Zhanji frowned, deep in thought.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh violently, and laughed angrily: "My good fellow, these Wala barbarians actually want to play tricks!"

As he spoke, the teacup in his hand was clenched into powder.

No wonder Zhu Zhanji is so angry.

Taking a step back, assuming Wenhe Village's conspiracy succeeds, what will the Wala people do when all the villagers disappear?
Of course it's stealing and pretending to be a villager!

This kind of thinking and behavior seems absurd in the past, but don't forget that there are monsters, martial arts, and magic in this world, and it is not difficult to change your appearance.

If the plan is successful, it will really be eating Da Ming's food and grass, using Da Ming's rifles, and turning back to Da Ming's rebellion!
How can you not be angry? !
"That's right, they're just trying to steal something, and I think they've already achieved some preliminary results."

"..."

Zhu Zhanji's heart stopped suddenly, his pupils widened slightly, "Could it be..."

Li Kui silently nodded.

Zhu Zhanji clenched his fists tightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and then bowed his hands to Li Kui: "Brother Li is wise and brave, and he can guide Zhanji in the wrong way. Zhanji implores Brother Li to help me. I will definitely not break my promise when I become an official."

The dignified grandson bowed down and begged an ordinary soldier, which can be said to have given him enough respect and face.

Even Li Kui had to admit that Zhu Zhanji was a good planner!

Of course, right now it's just a matter of pushing the boat along with the flow, not to mention that he has ulterior motives in the first place.

Then,

Li Kui got up and helped Zhu Zhanji up, and said with a smile, "Actually, their strategy is already obvious. If you think about it in detail, it's not difficult to guess."

This move is agreed.

Zhu Zhanji smiled, "Li Kui, you are humble."

"Every plan will leave clues to achieve it. As long as you are careful enough, it is not difficult to follow the clues and find the real purpose."

Li Kui smiled, and a vague figure seemed to flash across the bottom of his eyes.

"It makes sense."

Zhu Zhanji nodded with a smile, and then said to Chen Hu, "Ah Hu, give me the things."

Chen Hu, who didn't hear anything outside the window, took out a gorgeous box from his arms and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

"You should break through the alchemy. This is the [Heavenly King Five Qi Pill] from the Wudang Taoist school. Taking it when you break through can greatly reduce the danger. With your ability, you will be able to successfully form the alchemy."

Zhu Zhanji opened the wooden box with a smile, and saw a purple-gold elixir lying inside, exuding a delicate fragrance.

Li Kui couldn't help but glanced at Zhu Zhanji, accepted the wooden box, and thanked him:

"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness."

"Okay, let's come here first today, don't disturb your rest, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said with a smile: "One or two steps away, you don't have to send Li Kui off."

then.

Zhu Zhanji led Chen Hu away in strides.

After a while, the door closed gently.

Li Kui played with the wooden box in his hand, suppressing some ups and downs of thoughts.
