At the end of last year, I answered the pass and went south, besieged the capital, and broke through the outer city and plundered, almost breaking off the Ming Dynasty's national ancestry, which was regarded by Jiajing as a lifelong shame, and the most direct way to wash away the shame was naturally the Northern Expedition and killed my answer.

Jiajing is a young man, a good face, and thinks about revenge all the time, but last year he was burned and looted by me, Daming's losses were heavy, and his vitality was already injured, and the grain stored in Tongzhou Warehouse was also burned by Xu Jin, so he could only temporarily press the idea of sending troops to the Northern Expedition.

And after a year of recuperation this year, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty has recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight, coupled with the previous few years of clearing the grange, re-clearing the land, the role of promoting new crops slowly emerged, and the opening of the sea and trade has brought rich taxes, so the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty this year has almost doubled, reaching an unprecedented more than seven million taels of silver, completely reversing the financial predicament of making ends meet, it is foreseeable that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will be more and more full, and the people's lives are becoming richer and richer.

In addition, Xu Jin brought back more than 5 million taels of silver from the Wa Kingdom this time, as the so-called food in his hands, he did not panic, and now Jiajing is more confident than ever, the soldiers are good enough food, and the silver is enough, and the idea of the Northern Expedition can no longer be stopped.

Kill me Da, take back the Hetao, and restore the glory of the ancestors, this is Jiajing's current "small goal".

Jiajing put aside the general syllabus of the lecture hall, looked at Xu Jin, and said word by word: "Xu Qing, I plan to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Tatar!" ”

Xu Jin seemed to see two raging flames from Jiajing's firm eyes, and his heart was both excited and a little worried, it is a good thing to have a pioneering and enterprising heart, but everything is too much, pioneering and enterprising and reckless military force is often just a thought, the economy of the Ming Dynasty has just improved a little, but it can't withstand the toss of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away. Although this sentence sounds very burning and makes people feel proud, it is precisely because of this sentence that it almost dragged the Han into the abyss of no return!

Therefore, the use of troops must be done according to their ability, not for the sake of conquest, let alone beyond the limit of national strength and the people can bear, otherwise it will not be far from the destruction of the country.

Xu Jin pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "I replied, it is necessary to destroy the Tatars, but the time is not yet ripe, and the emperor is still patient for the time being." ”

Jiajing shook his head and said: "No, the time has come, I received a message from Gubeikou yesterday, Da Lai Xun's kid was almost unbearable, and sent an envoy to ask me for help from the Ming Dynasty, as long as my Ming sent troops to help, he was willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he asked, "When will Da Lai Xun's mission arrive?" ”

"I'm still in Gubeikou, just wait for me to speak." Jiajing's expression was obviously with a hint of excitement, since the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty turned from offensive to defensive, and gradually lost the military initiative against the northern Mongols, especially after the "Tumubao Change", the Ming Dynasty has only been beaten, let alone let the Tatars bow down.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Jiajing, this kid is too young after all, he can't hold his breath, people just bow their heads and call you boss, and they haven't reaped any substantial benefits, so they can't wait to send troops.

Xu Jin coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, how is the battle between Alta and Da Lai Xun now?" ”

"There is no standout, but in general it is that I have the upper hand and have seized some of the territory that used to belong to the left." Jiajing replied.

"In other words, Da Lai Xun still has the strength to resist, and it is far from the point of exhaustion?" Xu Jin asked.

Jiajing nodded.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "As the so-called cranes and mussels compete, the fisherman profits, and the mussel has not yet clamped the crane's long beak, so why should the fisherman rush to make a move?" In the end, the crane flew away, and the mussel fell back to the bottom of the water, and it was all empty after all. What's more, it's winter now, and the water outside the plug is dripping into ice, which is not a good time to send troops. ”

Jiajing showed a thoughtful look: "What does Xu Qing mean to wait?" ”

Xu Jin nodded affirmatively: "That's right, wait!" ”

"When?"

"Wait until they are both defeated, and when they arrive, they will come to the emperor and ask for help."

Jiajing frowned: "What if Da Lai Xun doesn't come?" ”

Xu Jin said calmly: "Even if Da Cheng Xun doesn't come in person, he will send a heavyweight to come, and at that time, it will mean that he really can't hold on." ”

Jiajing pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wait a little longer, and go back and let the Gubeikou side send the messenger of Da Lai Xun back." ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "Since people are here, they naturally want to meet, and they have to give Da Lai Xun a little hope, or it will not be good for people to turn their hearts and break this thought." ”

Jiajing smiled and said: "That's right, I'm a state of etiquette, and the guests have come to the door, so it's a bit rude to refuse it." ”

Xu Jinxu said matter-of-factly: "The faux pas is secondary, mainly because I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, Da Zhixun wants to be a minister to my Ming Dynasty, and I have to give some benefits to show sincerity, if there is no benefit, who loves to accept him as a minister?" When the emperor saw Da Lai Xun's envoys, he asked him to bring a message to Da Lai Xun to make a price, if the price is suitable, I will consider accepting him as a minister, and send troops to help him clean up my answer. ”

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Xu Jin and sighed: "In terms of shamelessness, I am not as far away as Xu Qing!" ”

"The emperor praised it falsely!" Xu Jin's face did not change color, and he lifted the wine pot on the red clay stove and poured a glass of rice wine for Jiajing.

Jiajing picked up the wine glass and drank it all, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he said with a smile: "I almost fell in love with Xu Qing's Tao again, I am the son of tomorrow, the king of a country, how can I say such shameless words in front of the envoy." Well, I have decided, and you will be in charge of receiving the envoys who have returned to Da Xun, Xu Qing, and the benefits will naturally be asked for by you. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is this considered a cocoon?" ”

Jiajing said proudly: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, this is what you said, if this matter is not done well, you don't want to receive this year's Yulu." ”

Xu Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "That minister has no choice but to receive the order, and he will live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Jiajing has a good face, or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a good face, he has always regarded himself as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and people come to pay tribute, and return a reward worth ten times, and people are willing to bow their heads obediently and call them ministers.

But Xu Jin is different, he can pull down this face, he doesn't do anything to hurt his face, if Da Zhixun just wants to pay tribute to Daming with empty mouths and white teeth, can he exchange Daming's troops to help? Dream on!

At this time, Jiajing coughed lightly again, and said with an unnatural expression: "I ...... There is one more thing to entrust Xu Qing to do! ”

Xu Jin was a little strange when he saw this, this kid was hesitant, could it be a physiological problem?

"Your Majesty, please instruct, the ministers should do their best." Xu Jin said quietly.

Jiajing hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's about Yongfu!" ”

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, only to hear Jiajing continue: "Xu Qing, you know, Yongfu was hit by the horse incident, and now he sees through the red dust and is dedicated to becoming a monk and cultivating, no matter how he persuades her, I really have no choice but to agree, and tomorrow I will issue an edict to remove the title of princess of Yongfu and allow her to become a monk and practice." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, it seems that what Huang Jin told him before was true, Princess Yongfu was "looking at the three widows", and after being hit by this, she actually had a negative heart to avoid the world.

Alas, as soon as he thought that Sister Lin's beautiful Princess Yongfu would be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time, Xu Jin's heart seemed to be blocked by something, but because of his identity, he could only sigh!

Xu Jin was in a trance, and suddenly saw Jiajing staring at him with a smile, and suddenly returned to his senses, and hurriedly coughed lightly to cover up: "The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, maybe Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu will change her mind after her mood calms down after a while, and then restore her title as a princess." ”

Jiajing nodded and said: "What Xu Qing said is very true, I also think so, by the way, I was deceived by Tao Zhongwen's demon Dao before, and built a Taoist temple for him in the west of the city.

Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I trust Xu Qing the most, and it just so happens that Xu Qing is idle now, so you are responsible for transforming the Taoist temple, and Xu Qing will take Yongfu to the Taoist temple for a walk, and I will add whatever I need, I am such a sister, and I can't wronged her. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Princess Yongfu knew that he had secret feelings for herself, when she was in Cining Palace, Yongfu lay on herself regardless of her life, resisting Zhao Quan's attack with her body, and now she is up to her to build a Taoist temple, and she can't look up when she looks down, and the risk of "accidents" increases in vain.

Although Yongfu has lost the title of princess, after all, she is still the emperor's sister and the daughter of the Empress Dowager Jiang......

Xu Jin suddenly felt that a certain part of his body was cold and swishing, and hurriedly said: "Building a Taoist temple, the minister is not good at it, and the emperor should choose another meritocracy." ”

Jiajing said disapplausively: "It's not for you to build the wall and build the beams yourself, or to check the gates, the key is that you are familiar with Yongfu and understand her preferences!" ”

Xu Jin secretly sweated and said: "The emperor's words are bad, in fact, the ministers don't understand it very well......"

Jiajing rolled his eyes and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's so decided, anyway, Xu Qing is idle and idle, and it saves you from running to the Honglu Temple Sifang Pavilion if you have nothing to do." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, coughed lightly and said, "Minister...... Command! ”

Zhu Houxi glanced at Xu Jin triumphantly, and said secretly, even if you are a good guy, although that widow is still passable, compared with my sister Yongfu, it is like a cloud, don't get cheap and sell well!
