My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 821 The whole life is in ruins

It was getting late, and Yang Shiqi was preparing to leave his shift, but he was suddenly summoned by Zhu Zhanhe, so he had to change his way to Zhan Shifu.

As an important minister of the Han Dynasty, Yang Shiqi didn't see Zhu Gaoxu much. Because Zhu Gaoxu was away from the capital most of the time, and all government affairs in the DPRK were handed over to the prince Zhu Zhanhe, so Yang Shiqi could only go to Zhan for most of the time. Mansion ran.

Originally, Yang Shiqi thought that Zhu Zhanhe had some particularly urgent government affairs when he saw him, so he didn't think much about it. But when he came to Zhan Shifu, he saw Zhu Zhanhe sitting there with a frown on his face, as if he had something on his mind. .

"Your Highness..."

Yang Shiqi was about to ask Zhu Zhanhe why he came to find him, but the other party interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said: "Yang Shangshu, don't worry, we will discuss it together when Li Qi comes!"

"Yes!"

Yang Shiqi was shocked when he heard this. Li Qi is Zhu Zhanhe's confidant. He is now in charge of the household department. Among the officials in the court, his position is only below him. Now that Zhu Zhanhe has found them both, he must be Is there something particularly important to discuss?

At this moment, I heard a burst of footsteps outside, and then I saw Li Qi walking in quickly and saluting: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally raised his head and glanced at Yang Shiqi and Li Qi, and then said in a deep voice.

"My father told me something today, and I'm a little undecided, so I want to hear your opinions."

"Your Majesty is not planning to send troops to war again, is he?"

Yang Shiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Zhu Gaoxu is a war maniac. After just a few days of peaceful life, he can't stay still anymore. He went to Kabul for a tour before, and some time ago he mentioned westward expansion. That is the territory of Dashi. Although Dashi's strength Not as good as Timur, but still a strong enemy, so he was persuaded by Yang Shiqi and others. After all, the Han's main focus is on Egypt, and there is no need to fight with Dashi.

"Father indeed wants to send troops to war, and he still wants to send troops to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanhe spread his hands and directly expressed Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts.

Zhu Gaoxu asked him to be prepared to send troops to the Ming Dynasty. He would definitely discuss this matter with important ministers such as Yang Shiqi. After all, it was related to the future strategic direction of the Han Dynasty, and it would not work without the cooperation of the ministers.

"what!"

Yang Shiqi and Li Qi were both shocked when they heard Zhu Zhanhe's words. They never dreamed that Zhu Gaoxu was not satisfied with establishing the Han Dynasty, and actually wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty and seize the Ming Dynasty. If this spread, I am afraid that There will never be peace between the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

"My cousin is to blame for this. His performance after he ascended the throne was really unsatisfactory. If the emperor knew better, I'm afraid he would regret that he had misjudged the wrong person..."

As Zhu Zhanhe spoke, he told in detail what happened in Wuying Palace today.

After Yang Shiqi and Li Qi listened, they each showed silent expressions.

Although the Han Dynasty is very far away from the Ming Dynasty, the Han Dynasty people are all from the Ming Dynasty. Even if they come to the Han Dynasty now, they still have many relatives and friends in the Ming Dynasty, especially officials like Yang Shiqi and Li Qi, who have not been in the Ming Dynasty for a few years. A friend in the hall?

So they also knew the situation in Ming Dynasty very well, and some friends even complained to them privately about Zhu Zhanji. After all, there are some things that cannot be said in Ming Dynasty, but in Dahan, there are not so many scruples.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

After a while, Li Qi looked at Yang Shiqi, who was silent next to him, and then asked Zhu Zhanhe first. As Zhu Zhanhe’s confidant, Li Qi was more trusted by Zhu Zhanhe than Yang Shiqi, so there were some words that Yang Shiqi couldn’t say, so he had to say them.

"Let me put it bluntly. I don't have any ambitions towards the Ming Dynasty. I don't care whether we send troops or not. All I care about is one thing."

When Zhu Zhanhe said this, he glanced at Yang Shiqi and Li Qi.

"Which point?"

Yang Shiqi couldn't help but ask at this time.

"No matter where the Han Dynasty and Ming Dynasty go in the future, I don't want the tragedy of the Jingnan Battle to repeat itself. After all, after four years of fighting, the entire Shandong Province was destroyed, and it has not been able to fully recover until now."

Zhu Zhanhe sighed at the end. Almost all of the first batch of immigrants from the Han Dynasty came from Shandong. Although it cannot be said to be the cause of Jingnan, it also has a lot to do with Jingnan.

"Your Highness is kind-hearted. I understand that you don't want to see a war break out between the two countries and cause a loss of lives. In that case, how about we go to see His Majesty together and persuade him to give up the idea of ​​attacking the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Shiqi hesitated for a moment and finally suggested to Zhu Zhanhe.

"Yang Shangshu, don't you know my father's temper? On some trivial matters, you can still be persuaded, but on major matters related to national policy, as long as he makes a decision, it will never be changed. If If you could have persuaded me, I would have done so long ago.”

Zhu Zhanhe smiled bitterly at this time.

"Your Highness doesn't want the lives of the two countries to be destroyed, but His Majesty insists on sending troops to the Ming Dynasty. This is a bit contradictory. Unless His Majesty can directly raid the capital like last time and successfully capture the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in this way, we can defeat the Ming Dynasty in the shortest possible time. End the war within."

Li Qi thought for a while before expressing his opinion.

"This is impossible. The last time His Majesty raided Beijing, it was all because the Ming Dynasty was unprepared. But since that incident, heavy troops have been stationed in the Tianjin area, and all ships at sea are strictly inspected. It is impossible to carry out the attack silently. The army was transported to Tianjin."

Yang Shiqi immediately shook his head and said, he was a cabinet minister back then and had good friendships with Yang Pu and Yang Rong. Now he knows half of the people in the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, so he is also very aware of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

"This is troublesome. If we can't make a surprise attack, we can only fight head-on. The battlefield will be in the Ming Dynasty, and there will definitely be casualties."

Li Qi looked at Zhu Zhanhe at the end. This was obviously not what the other party wanted to see.

"Actually, it's not completely impossible. For example, if there is a problem within the Ming Dynasty and they have no time to take care of themselves, if we suddenly send troops, we can achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. Of course, this requires our patience!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly said at this time.

"Your Highness, do you mean that there will be problems within Ming Dynasty?"

When Yang Shiqi and Li Qi heard this, they all looked at Zhu Zhanhe in shock. They all knew Zhu Zhanhe's character. If they were not completely sure, he would definitely not say such a thing.

"Yes, the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is my cousin. Apart from himself, the short-sighted strategies he is currently implementing will sooner or later cause a catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanhe said confidently.
