Chapter 596: Emperor Yongle's Determination

After talking about the case of killing a tree in Xiaoling, the emperor asked about the assassination of King Han.

"The emperor forgives the crime, the facts of this case are still secondary, the key is that the murderer's martial arts are extremely high, and the minister has made a special trip to repeat it on the spot, and the result cannot reach the level of the murderer at all." Zhang Fu hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty: "And this person is extremely cunning, he hit with a blow, and then fled away, and the guards of the King of Han didn't even see his figure at that time, and it was really difficult to chase him afterwards." ”

"You're saying the murderer is better than you?" Zhu Di said with a grim expression when he heard this: "Isn't that rare?" "Obviously, the existence of such a master also poses a threat to the emperor's safety.

"There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains." Zhang Fu said humbly: "There are only three or five ministers who know, not to mention the big rivers and lakes, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and the strange people emerge in endlessly......"

"Therefore, it is forbidden to use martial arts, and these martial arts people must be severely suppressed!" Zhu Di waved his hand a little unhappily and said: "Since this case can't be concluded quickly, I simply took the opportunity to calm down and destroy those churches and gangs in the provinces of Liangjing, and return the people to peace!" ”

"The emperor's sacred heart is foresighted, which is really a blessing for all people." Zhang Fuzhi said, the year before the Ming rebellion in Zhejiang, the White Lotus Sect rebelled in Shanxi, the emperor had the intention of eliminating the evil cults and gangs in the world, it seems that because of the assassination of the King of Han, he finally made up his mind. At this time, of course, he wanted to show his loyalty, so Zhang Fu asked: "The minister is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries for the emperor!" ”

"Kill chickens with a knife." Zhu Di shook his head and smiled, and frowned slightly: "What's more...... You'll have to go back to cross-toe again. ”

"What's the matter, someone is restless again?" Zhang Fudeng's expression changed, and the British duke who was obscure disappeared and became a generalissimo ready to go!

"Look at it." Zhu Di picked up a report with 100,000 urgent notes, and said depressedly: "This is the real reason why I am unhappy this morning." ”

Zhang Fu took it with both hands, and after a quick look, it turned out to be Chen Yuehu, the clan brother of the pseudo-Chongguang Emperor Chen Jikuo, and under the banner of avenging him, he rebelled. Because when Zhang Fu withdrew his troops, he took more than half of the troops with him, and the Jiaozhi defenders had limited strength, so they only dared to garrison the city, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so they could only ask the imperial court for help......

"The emperor is angry," Zhang Fu quickly organized and said: "It has been more than 400 years since Jiaozhi broke away from the autonomy of China at the end of the Fifth Dynasty. In the past 400 years, Jiaozhi has gone through several dynasties, and it has been at war with the Song and Yuan dynasties, and there has been a lot of hostility towards the mother country of China. Especially those former princes and nobles, after the court abolished the vassal state and placed the political envoys, their titles and titles passed down from generation to generation were also gone, and they naturally held a grudge against the Ming Dynasty. It is because if you want to make Jiaozhi forever serve the king, it will take time to polish, and after more than ten or twenty years, when the young people grow up under the Daming Wanghua, the situation will naturally improve. ”

"I don't know?" Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "But Jiaozhi has rebelled several times, entangled my hundreds of thousands of troops for more than ten years, this burden is too heavy......" said and lowered his voice: "Wen Bi, let's be honest with you, the imperial court is about to move the capital, this is the top priority, I have no money, and I will smash it into the bottomless pit of Jiaozhi!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Fu's shock is indescribable, first, although he has heard a lot of rumors about moving the capital before, it is the first time he has heard it from the emperor's mouth. The second is that the imperial court has been powerless against Jiaozhi, and the emperor has the intention of stopping. He hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the mountain, you must not fall short!" ”

"Do you still need to say it?" Zhu Di glared at him angrily, stood up and said: "I have sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiaozhi, and that is the land that my Ming man exchanged for flesh and blood!" Saying that, he slapped the case and said: "Daming Jinou is eternal, and it must not be missing!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhang Fu mentioned the heart of his throat and eyes, and finally put it back in his stomach, and knelt down and said: "I am willing to fight for Daming forever, so that my Daming Jinou will be forever!" ”

"Okay, get up!" Zhu Di was also emotional, stepped forward to help Zhang Fu with his own hands and said, "I am also forced to do so...... Originally, I thought that when you came back this time, I wouldn't let you go to the south to endure hardships again, and stay in the capital to be my companion and rest for a few years. But I didn't expect that as soon as you left, Jiaozhi spread rumors, saying that Zhang Gong would never come back, and made a fuss about Chen Jikuo's death. Although there is no chaos at the moment, if it is not suppressed in time, I am afraid that it will burn the prairie again. He looked at Zhang Fu with a wry smile and said, "The people of Jiaozhi say that Zhang Gong can top an army of 200,000. I can't send an army of 200,000, so I can only send Zhang Gong back to take up the town, I really can't stand you, Wen Bi. ”

"Why did the emperor say this, it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the king!" Zhang Fu said: "What's more, this time Chen Yuehu rebelled, and the ministers could not escape the blame......" Originally, Zhang Fu captured the wife and children of the puppet emperor Chen Jikuo, and sent them to the capital together with his general Ruan Shuai and others. In this way, with Chen Jikuo and others as hostages, the rat traps of those princes and nobles will stop a lot.

It's a pity that Chen Jikuo is a person with a strong temperament, and he doesn't want to be a prisoner in the capital like Li Yu, so he threw himself into the water and died on the way to escort, Ruan Shuai and others also accompanied him to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, the emperor did not blame Zhang Fu for this matter, after all, if people really don't want to live, how can they die. But after this news was transmitted back to Jiaozhi, it was made a big fuss by those Jiaozhi princes, and Zhang Fu had to ask for guilt again.

"What are your crimes, it's just that the chief of Nabo is killing himself." Zhu Di shook his head and said: "This time I will go south, I will no longer give you any instructions, the military and political affairs of the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Department are all in charge of you, everything is cheap, and after it is calmed down, I will summon you back." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Zhang Fudao: "I don't know when the minister will leave?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course." No matter how polite the emperor is, he also treats his courtiers as cattle and horses, Zhu Di said with a smile: "But it depends on you, settle down in the mansion and rest yourself." ”

"The minister can go at any time." Zhang Fudao.

"Okay, Qin Tianjian has seen the days and said that March 16 is an auspicious day for the expedition, so you can leave on that day." Zhu Di said: "When the time comes, after I give you a trip, I will also set off for the northern tour." Saying that, he sighed and said, "I originally wanted you to go to Beijing with me to have a look, and choose a good place for you to be the British government." ”

"The emperor doesn't need to worry about the trivial matters of his courtiers." Zhang Fu said softly.

"I don't care about other people's affairs, I take your Wenbi's affairs to heart." Zhu Di smiled with a sincere smile: "You can rest assured that you will go south, I will give you a magnificent Guogong Mansion!" ”

"We're thanking you." Zhang Fu hurriedly said gratefully.

"If you have anything else, just mention it," Zhu Di said with a smile: "I have done it all for you." ”

"It's nothing to do with the minister......," Zhang Fu thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "It's that I get along well with Wang Xian and Wang Zhenfu these days, and he wants the minister to talk to the emperor to see if he can be exempted from the errand of the Zhenfu Division, and go to Jiaozhi with me." "Zhang Fu is a sincere gentleman, since he promised Wang Xian something, he can't help it. I said before that I would ask the emperor again in the last year and a half, but he has been there for several years, so I have to help Wang Xian ask now.

"What? Does he want to pick a pick? Zhu Di was taken aback and said: "Do you know how many people in the world want to be this calmer?" Would he rather go with you? ”

"Yes, he mentioned it several times, and I don't think he's having a good time in the Zhenfu Division." Zhang Fudao.

"Hehe, I asked you to observe him for me," Zhu Di said with a playful smile, "Could it be that you were discovered by him?" The boy was cunning like a ghost, and he couldn't believe what he said. ”

"The minister didn't say anything to test him," Zhang Fu said, "But it makes sense that he doesn't want to stay in the Zhenfu Division." On the one hand, the world regarded him as the crown prince, and he was worried that his father would not trust him. Both, because he occupied the Beizhen Fusi, it was tantamount to moving the confinement of Ji Dudu, and the latter regarded him as a thorn in the flesh. Third, he is a literati after all, and he has an instinctive resistance to the black prison of the Zhenfu Division, and it is difficult to enjoy it. ”

"It's just that you can't have fun." Zhu Di suppressed a smile and said: "Originally, I did have some doubts, is it right to use him to manage the Beizhen Fusi." Now it seems that I have used the right person, and if he is willing, I can't use him! After a pause, he said: "As for who the world thinks he is, it doesn't matter, what matters is who he wants to be!" ”

"From the minister's point of view, he is loyal to the emperor," Zhang Fu said with a smile: "It's funny to say, the minister has lived a lot of years, but he still let him teach him a lesson." ”

"He still dares to teach Wen Bi a lesson?" Zhu Di said with interest.

Zhang Fu repeated Wang Xian's words last night to the emperor, and Zhu Di couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "What a good minister, if the ministers can think like him, each in his own place, and share the worries of the monarch's father, why not worry about the world and not rule the world?" He sighed and said: "Some people just forget the duty of the minister, and only then do they reach the point where the monarch and the minister are severed. ”

Zhang Fu's heart sank, I don't know who the emperor is referring to, but it doesn't matter, he is going to stay away from the right and wrong circle of the capital, and now what he hopes most is that when he comes back, everything has already settled......

The monarch and the ministers spoke for a while, and Zhang Fu saw that the emperor still had state affairs to do, so he got up and retired. Zhu Di instructed: "The case of the assassination of the King of Han will be handed over to Wang Xian, and he will be fully responsible for it in the future." ”

"Yes." Zhang Fu responded softly, and then asked, "What should we do with those arrested people?" ”

"If you find out that you are not a traitor, let it go." Zhu Di closed his eyes a little tiredly and said: "I will make a will, that is, the Gongsun tree in front of the Xiaoling Hall is dead, and it is the ancestors who want me to have the heart of heaven and heaven, and have the virtue of a good life......"

"The emperor is merciful." Zhang Fu kowtowed heavily, withdrew from the main hall, and looked back at the majestic and solemn Golden Palace, which was extremely depressing, and he knew that Wang Xian's strategy had worked, because he had made progress in the tree killing case, and gave the emperor room to step down, Zhu Di was no longer reluctant, and he had to dig three feet into the ground, and he had to arrest the murderer......
