Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

As he said this, he reached out to help Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren's face was sallow. He leaned in Zhu Youxiao's arms, rolled his eyes, and murmured weakly.

“Your Majesty…”

"I'm fine, old minister. I'm just a little tired lately..."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and rest for a few days..."

At first, Zhu Youxiao really thought that the old guy was sick!

But when I saw the wound on the tip of his tongue, my heart suddenly became clear as a mirror.

Oh shit!

This damned guy was actually pretending!

The wound was obviously caused by a bite!

It rushed in in an arc, and it was bitten by itself!

"Someone! Send Elder Wen back to rest!"

"Also, go to the imperial physician and get three pounds each of Epimedium, Cistanche, Actinolite, Cynomorium songaricum, and Ginseng!"

"Watch out for me. When will Lord Wen finish eating and come back to handle government affairs?"

"Look, a good person, now he has become so weak..."

When Wen Tiren heard this, his expression froze.

Damn!

It seems that my performance was a little too poor and His Majesty actually saw through it!

He lowered his voice and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, can you please not use the actinolite..."

"That thing is a stone, it hurts my teeth..."

Zhu Youxiao curled his lips slightly and threw him to the ground.

"Okay, then let's change it to Morinda officinalis!"

Kong Zhenyun, who was standing by, was watching this scene like a clown, completely dumbfounded!

The Confucian tradition has been destroyed!

But the emperor and the prime minister of the cabinet actually acted out a loving scene in front of him?

Chapter 518: Separate when encountering obstacles, unite when following the trend

"Your Majesty, I think what Kong Jijiu and Meng Shangshu said makes sense."

"The Kong family is a place of sages, how can we allow the bandits to come here recklessly?"

"Therefore, I, the old minister, also agree that we should send the army to encircle and suppress the enemy as soon as possible!"

As soon as Wen Tihen was carried away, Sun Chengzong stood up, stroking his beard.

Seeing his attitude, the Minister of Personnel Wang Yongguang also bowed in agreement.

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the bandit army must be wiped out with the force of thunder!"

Zhu Youxiao was about to speak when he saw Sun Chengzong secretly making a gesture to him.

So he cleared his throat and asked others.

"What do the other dear ministers mean?"

Wu Chunfu, Guo Yunhou, Su Maoxiang and others all stepped forward and bowed in response.

"I second the proposal!"

"Alright, then everyone, please withdraw first. Let me and the teacher discuss the strategy of deploying troops!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and sent everyone out.

After a while, he and Sun Chengzong were the only ones left in the hall.

"What did the teacher mean just now?"

Zhu Youxiao returned to the imperial desk and asked with some confusion.

Sun Chengzong said meaningfully: "Although I don't know what your majesty is thinking, the affairs of the Kong family must be explained to the people of the world."

"Your Majesty, please take out the map and let me explain it in detail."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, took a map of Shandong from the shelf and spread it flat on the imperial desk.

Sun Chengzong stepped forward, picked up a pencil, drew on it, and explained.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

"Judging from the enemy's current position, they are likely to take the following route."

"To the north, we can attack Jinan, and to the south, we can take Xuzhou."

"In addition to these two options, they can also turn around and enter Henan and attack Guide."

"Therefore, I think we should dispatch all guards to encircle Qufu from the south, north and west!"

"But the most important area is east of Qufu, such as Sishui and Mengyin."

"Otherwise, once the enemy army escapes into the Yimeng Mountains, even if we have an army of 100,000, we may not be able to drive them out!"

Zhu Youxiao's expression froze. He stared at the picture carefully for a long time. After a while, he spoke slowly.

"Teacher, you have made such a thorough arrangement. Aren't you afraid that the bandits will become desperate and take advantage of the people to vent their anger?"

"Isn't it always important to surround three sides and leave one side open when attacking?"

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "I think those bandits are absolutely incapable of massacring a city or a village."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After he finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze, stared at Zhu Youxiao with a smile and stopped talking.

Zhu Youxiao stood there in a daze.

Oh my god, this old man has something else to say!

Could it be that he guessed something?

And Wen Tiren just now, obviously also saw through the enemy army’s tricks!

He couldn't help but gasp.

Are these two warning me?

The court is full of smart people, and what these two can see, others can naturally guess.

If this is the case, we really have to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng!

But after thinking about it carefully, he still wanted to know what Sun Chengzong had guessed.

So he pretended to know nothing and asked with a frown.

"Teacher, what does this mean?"

"How can I know whether the rebel army can do such a thing?"

Sun Chengzong ignored him and just bowed.

"I just want Your Majesty to know one thing."

"The bandit army is also a bandit."

"The key word is flow!"

"The bandits are like water."

“When they encounter obstacles, they separate, like a stream flowing silently through the mountains and forests, unnoticed by anyone.”

"Go with the flow, like the mighty Yellow River rushing into the sea, no one can stop it!"

"If Your Majesty has no objection, I will go back and draft a plan for mobilizing troops."

Zhu Youxiao: ???

What does this old man mean?

He didn't react for a moment, and when he wanted to ask again, he saw that Sun Chengzong had already turned around and left the hall.

Zhu Youxiao touched his nose, returned to the imperial desk and sat down, wrote down the last two sentences of Sun Chengzong on paper, and stared at them in a daze for a long time.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Good guy!

Is this a roundabout way of reminding myself that I should quickly send someone to notify Li Zicheng and break up the whole into small pieces?

Also!

If this time, as in the past, the garrison soldiers were sent just for show, I'm afraid the whole world would question whether the court was deliberately condoning the bandits!

He quickly took out paper and pen and wrote a few lines on it.

But after finishing writing, he felt something was wrong, so he asked the Jinyiwei outside the door for a fire starter and burned the letter he had just written.

"Go, bring Wei Zhongxian to me!"

Half an hour later, Wei Zhongxian was called back. After Zhu Youxiao whispered something to him, he turned and left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Horse riding!

Being with these old guys is so taxing!

I have to go back to the harem and have some rest!

In Kunning Palace, Zhang Yan was sitting in the warm room embroidering flowers. Seeing him coming to her place before dark, she quickly stood up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, have you finished your political affairs?"

"Political affairs, how can you ever be done with them?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, picked up an apple from the table and took a bite.

This kind of apple is not as crisp as those in later generations. The flesh is soft and sandy, and it does not contain much moisture.

But he just likes to eat this!

If you have bad teeth, soft ones are more suitable........

While chewing an apple, she walked to the couch and sat down. She glanced at the mandarin ducks that Zhang Yan was embroidering and couldn't help but smile and said.

"I have a couplet here, I wonder if the Queen can match it."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

Zhang Yan became interested when she heard that. She held her chin with one hand and blinked while leaning on the table.

As she moved, her wide sleeves naturally fell down, revealing her snow-white wrists.

Zhu Youxiao swallowed the fruit in his mouth and looked her up and down.

"Bumpy, bumpy, bumpy."

Zhang Yan was looking at him with a smile just a moment ago, but after hearing this couplet and looking at Zhu Youxiao's lustful eyes, she felt sick all over!

She couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Bah, Your Majesty is so frivolous!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed when he saw this, "Hahahaha, I am writing a serious couplet, how can it be frivolous?"

"If the Queen can't match up, just admit defeat. But if you lose, you have to accept the punishment~~~"

Zhang Yan rolled her eyes at him: "Who said I can't do it?"

"That's right..."

“It’s hard to stop going in and out!”

There were several palace maids serving in the warm room. When they heard this, their faces blushed with shame, and some even couldn't help but glance at Zhu Youxiao.

But after hearing the second line given by Zhang Yan, Zhu Youxiao said shamelessly.

"Your couplet is not well-matched, so it doesn't count!"
