Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

"You said."

"Sister, you just said that His Majesty is deliberately using Liu Xiu..."

Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "Brother-in-law!"

Xu Zengshou looked at his own father helplessly, and Xu Da covered his face, expressing that it had nothing to do with him.

Xu Zengshou felt a little upset. In his opinion, his sister was the best woman in the world, and no man was good enough for him. But after her sister came back from Yandi, she was completely fascinated by Liu Xiu.

snort!What's so great about Liu Xiu? !

Even though he thought so in his heart, Xu Zengshou still did not dare to disobey Xu Miaoyun, and said in an extremely awkward manner, "Brother-in-law... If His Majesty is used as a bargaining chip to balance the power of the Fan Kingdom, it is because His Majesty does not want the Fan Kingdom to become bigger. However, since Your Majesty does not want the Fan Kingdom to become bigger If that is the case, why do you agree to expand the border of the vassal state? Isn’t this just expanding the power of the vassal state?”

Before Xu Miaoyun opened his mouth, Xu Da looked at Xu Zengshou and said with a smile, "Boy, how long will it take us to march from here to fight in Yandi?"

Xu Zengshou knew a lot about the military formation, so he answered immediately, "Including raising food, recruiting troops, marching, and fighting... It will take three or four years to say the least."

"Then how long will you have to recuperate after such a battle?"

Xu Zengshou suddenly realized, "Father! You mean, Tuo Bian is a wish from His Majesty to the feudal lords?!"

Xu Da shook his head, "No, but it's about the same. His Majesty would be very happy if a certain vassal state can expand its borders, but it will take decades of work to expand its borders together."

"Besides," Xu Da smiled wryly, "Even if the feudal kingdoms succeed in expanding their borders, His Majesty still has ways to prevent the feudal states from becoming bigger."

Xu Zengshou was startled. He was already extremely afraid of His Majesty today, and he could play everyone in his hands casually. What kind of wisdom is this? !

"But..." Xu Zengshou continued to ask, "The expansion of the border was proposed by Liu...brother-in-law to solve the financial loopholes of the royal family. If the expansion of the border fails, the financial problem cannot be solved either!"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "It will take a long time for the financial problem to explode completely. Liu Xiu just pointed out the hidden dangers. Besides, after counting the time, haven't you thought of anything?"

Bounding is hard work, and it will take at least 20 years to bear fruit.

The financial problem also broke out after more than ten or twenty years.

To put it bluntly, will His Majesty still be alive after ten or twenty years?

At that time, it will be time for Zhu Biao to succeed to the throne...

"Your Majesty does not use Liu Xiu, but wants Liu Xiu to become the humerus of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xu Zengshou suddenly remembered what his sister said just now,

In an instant, a bright light flashed,

Xu Zengshou lost his voice, "Your Majesty left these problems to my brother-in-law??!"

Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other and nodded together.

Does this fucking majesty regard brother-in-law as the strongest tool? !

"The matter about Wajima..." Xu Zengshou opened his mouth.

Xu Miaoyun sighed, "The matter of Wa Island is just superficial, Your Majesty's purpose is to separate Liu Xiu from King Yan."

Xu Zengshou's cheap brother-in-law Liu Xiu couldn't help being a little awed in his heart. If His Majesty can make such a big deal, then his cheap brother-in-law is definitely not an idler!

Xu Da smiled wryly, "Besides, Liu Xiu has been so smooth in Yandi, His Majesty just wants to wait for Liu Xiu's trip to Wa Island to fail, and use this to beat Liu Xiu."

"Father..." Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Da, without saying anything.

Xu Da sighed, "Father knows, it is impossible for father to be so stupid as to protect Liu Xiu in court. Alas, I am afraid that this child will be arrogant and not convinced."

After all, Xu Da still vividly remembers the scene where Liu Xiu made a big fuss and made Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.

"Master, there are people coming from the palace!"

Hearing the voice outside the door, Xu Da's eyes flickered,

"Understood. Please come in."

Xu Da glanced at Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun understood, and pulled Xu Zengshou back behind the screen.

Xu Da opened the study door.

Humhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jin Yiwei strode in, cupped his hands towards Xu Da, and said anxiously,

"My lord! Your Majesty urgently summons officials of the third rank and above and the dukes to enter the court to discuss matters!"

Xu Da was taken aback. The last time he was so anxious to discuss matters was the Hu Weiyong case!

Xu Da stuffed something into Jin Yiwei's sleeve without leaving a trace, and said with a smile,

"What's the matter in such a hurry to discuss the matter?"

Jin Yiwei weighed the weight on his sleeve, then said in a low voice,

"A letter from Wudi today."

Liu Xiu!

Xu Da's heart was shocked, and he was afraid for a while, thinking that the money was really worth it!

Jin Yiwei's words are worth a thousand gold!It will allow Xu Da to have a buffer period for thinking ahead!

Xu Da looked at Jin Yiwei and said gratefully, "Thank you brother, I will definitely thank you more in the future!"

Chapter 194 Hong Wu All Stars

Jin Yiwei is naturally willing to befriend Wei Guogong Xu Da, although Jin Yiwei is doing things for the emperor, but he also has to eat,

If you can earn some extra money within the scope of your duties, why not do it?

"Your Excellency Wei Guogong praised you, and your subordinates have already brought the message to you, so please enter the palace quickly."

"Of course." Xu Da sent Jin Yiwei out of Xu's mansion, turned around and saw Xu Miaoyun and brother Xu Miaoyun secretly following behind him,

Xu Miaoyun spoke very quickly, "Father, I'm afraid the matter with Wa Island is over. No matter how His Majesty deals with Liu Xiu, you should not speak for Liu Xiu. Speaking for him at this time will actually harm him."

Xu Da nodded, and said seriously, "Father knows, His Majesty is just throwing him to another feudal kingdom, this kid will be treated preferentially no matter where he goes. Sigh, it's the big scene today that makes Dad flustered..."

There have only been two emergency court meetings for Beijing officials above the third rank since the founding of the Ming dynasty.

And this is the third time.

Is Liu Xiu's failure in Wa Island worthy of His Majesty's big battle?

Xu Da frowned, got into the carriage and headed for the palace.

Xu Da walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and found that Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed.

Xu Da looked at his colleagues around him, and couldn't help being startled secretly. This is the core bureaucratic force in the Great Tomorrow, even more important than the lineup of officials at the court meeting!

Not only are the ministers and ministers of various ministries present, but even those princes who have withdrawn from the ruling and opposition parties are basically all present!

The five people standing at the front are the six most powerful princes after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world after the founding of the dynasty.

Lee Sun Jang, the Duke of Korea,

Xu Da, Duke of Wei,

Song Guogong Feng Sheng,

Deng Yu, Duke of Wei,

Zheng Guogong Chang Mao,

Except for Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong who is far away in Yandi, the rest of the country's dukes are all there.

Standing behind the five people are Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons,

Mu Ying, Ping An, Xu Sima, and He Wenhui.

The four righteous sons were divided into the armor of tigers, leopards and wolves, and they stood in the middle of the court with their swords in hand.

Then there are six ministers and ministers. Except for Fu Ren, who is only one in the household department, there are two in each of the five departments of officials, rites, soldiers, criminals and workers, a total of 11 people.

Then there is the Hanlin Academy headed by Liu Sanwu and Fang Xiaoru.

And the Metropolitan Procuratorate composed of many Confucian scholars headed by Zheng Yuandao.

At this time, the people standing in the middle of the court are the all-star lineup of Daming!

And the situation of the various factions in the current dynasty is also clear at a glance.

The six princes are in charge of their own affairs, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous sons only work for the Zhu family, and they are the most steadfast princelings.

The six departments are directly under Zhu Yuanzhang, but the six ministers and ministers are closely related to the six princes, and they can be said to be the media through which the six princes control the government.

However, the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were controlled by Confucian scholars. These Confucian scholars did not belong to the Duke or the Emperor. They formed their own faction in the court.

Of course, except for Liu Sanwu and Zheng Yuandao, the rest of the Confucian scholars did not reach the third rank, but the officials of the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have little power and are qualified to supervise hundreds of officials, so they are all included.

It can be said that these diversions of forces only existed with Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence.

This is the way of separation of powers and checks and balances that Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

Prince Zhu Biao stood quietly under the throne, and together with Zhu Yuanzhang faced all the important officials. After Zhu Biao silently counted the number of people in his heart, he said softly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang,

"Father, everyone is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and opened his eyes. To be honest, he still hasn't figured out how to reward Liu Xiu.

After all, Liu Xiu has made too much contribution this time!

Combined with the countless credits before, large and small, it is enough to seal the Duke!

However, it is too nonsense to directly mention Liu Xiu as the seventh Duke of the state as a grassroots person, so Lao Zhu began to have difficulties.

Lao Zhu looked at the people in the hall, all the factions are closely related, and under his operation, a delicate balance has been reached among the various factions.

And after Liu Xiu entered the court, where should he be placed?

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he became even more worried.

For Lao Zhu, Liu Xiu is definitely an outlier among outliers, which makes Lao Zhu feel mixed,

The joy is that Liu Xiu always brings unexpected surprises to herself.

What's worrying is that Liu Xiu's talent can't be concealed even by Da Mingzi!

"Father."
