Chapter four hundred and seventy third: Kill without pardon(2/2)
Zhu Di looked up and saw that he was just a eunuch from the General Administration Department. He just said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report in Henan and Guanzhong..." The eunuch said: "After the Minister of the Ministry of War received the report, he prayed for an audience and said... He said it was... Henan and Guanzhong... overnight, a large number of civil commotions occurred.
A large number of thugs appeared in all prefectures and counties, attacking the officers and soldiers...These thieves...suddenly gained momentum and became quite powerful, and the Ministry of War was suspicious...I'm afraid the scale is not a hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand is actually just a drop in the ocean for Guanzhong and Henan, which have huge populations.
But such a scale cannot be underestimated for the Yongle Dynasty.
Even at this scale, it is still the number that Zhang Anshi achieved after a large amount of relief work.
After hearing this, Zhu Di sneered and said: "I didn't expect it to come... The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it up. I teach Jin Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, not to come to see me. It's just a thief. I teach him to mobilize troops and horses with the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to go to Henan."
, to put down the rebellion in Guanzhong, all rebels will be killed without mercy!"
Speaking of rebellion, no, speaking of Jingnan, Zhu Di is simply the ancestor of the rebels.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Di himself felt that these people were overestimating their own abilities.
After receiving the order, the eunuch hurried away again.
But who knew, after a while, the eunuch would leave and come back again.
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Jin Gong said...said...this matter must be reported to your majesty. Please don't forget, your majesty, the prince and his grandson, one is in Henan and the other is in Guanzhong..."
Zhu Di's expression changed slightly.
Zhang Anshi also immediately noticed the change in Zhu Di's expression and was about to say something.
But he saw Zhu Di sitting on the throne slowly, and said calmly: "Wouldn't it be great to have them here? The rebels are rampant, and the local soldiers and civilians must be in fear. The presence of my children and grandchildren is enough to reassure the soldiers and the people.
Go tell Jin Qing that he does not need to consider these matters. The duty of the Ministry of War is to mobilize people to participate in counterinsurgency matters."
The eunuch kowtowed and left again.
Yi Shiha stood aside, already worried, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty...this...this..."
Zhu Di sat upright with his hands on his knees, but his arms were shaking slightly, but soon, he grabbed his knees with both hands and was still.
He said: "When I was more than ten years old, I followed the King of Zhongshan and stayed in Peiping, training soldiers, promoting farming, building city defenses, and consolidating border defenses. After a little longer, I would attack the desert. It's not a big deal."
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Yi Shiha knew in his heart that no one in the world cares more about the safety of the prince and the emperor's grandson than your majesty.
After all, this is the prince. If he were in the Hongwu Dynasty, this would be Zhu Biao, the prince of Emperor Hongwu.
What is at stake is the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention the love between father and son and grandfather and grandson.
But Zhu Di said this, but he could only laugh dryly and said calmly: "What your Majesty said is that the prince and the emperor's grandson are the sons and grandsons of the dragon, and they are of your majesty's bloodline, so they must be as bloody and brave as your majesty.
"
Zhang Anshi frowned for a long time and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty... minister... minister..."
Zhu Di sighed and said: "The emperor's grandson has grown up a lot in these years. In the past few years, I have relied on Zhang Qing to teach him through words and deeds. I hope he can make progress and not disgrace the reputation of Tianhuang Guiwei.
"
Zhang Anshi opened his mouth and finally nodded.
Zhu Di said: "Okay, please step back and go see your sister. If your sister hears about this, the woman... will inevitably panic."
Zhang Anshi could only say: "Yes, I...resign."
By the time Zhang Anshi resigned, it was already getting late.
Zhu Di reluctantly ate a few bites of the dinner in the palace. Late at night, despite Hua's urging, Zhu Di seemed very worried and refused to sleep.
Until Yi Shiha said again: "The Queen is in the palace, so she may not be able to sleep."
After Zhu Di heard this, he got up and returned to the palace.
The queen's harem was indeed brightly lit. Empress Xu did not go into the bedroom to rest, but only ordered people to light many lanterns in the courtyard.
The eunuchs and female officials stood beside each other, motionless.
But there was a childish voice, saying: "The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty and the pass of the Han Dynasty, the people of the long march of thousands of miles have not returned, but the flying generals of the Dragon City are..."
In the distance, the eunuch's voice came out: "I have met your Majesty."
Then this childish voice suddenly stopped.
Zhu Di walked over with his hands behind his back and a big belly.
Looking sideways, I saw that the child standing here reciting poems was none other than Zhang Changsheng.
When Zhang Changsheng saw Zhu Di, he was immediately frightened and dared not speak out.
Empress Xu stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at you, you always look like you don't get close to strangers, you scare the children."
Zhu Di forced a smile and said: "He is a child of a bird. He is already eight or nine years old. This child is like his father, a rat. He is afraid of everything he sees."
Queen Xu only smiled.
The couple had a mutual understanding of each other, and Empress Xu was also well aware of the matter between the prince and the emperor's grandson. Although she was extremely worried, she never showed it in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di naturally knew what she was thinking, but he tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Only Zhang Changsheng, with his head drooped and eyes slightly lowered, remained silent.
Zhu Di was looking at Zhang Changsheng at this time, waving to him and saying: "Come, come to me."
Zhang Changsheng's legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he took a long time to get in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di pinched his face, probably because it felt good, and his expression softened a lot, and then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Di said gently: "How many poems can you recite?"
Zhang Changsheng said politely: "I can carry it all."
Zhu Di said: "Is the progress so fast?"
Queen Xu smiled and said: "This is a smart child."
Zhang Changsheng's mother is the Xu family, and Queen Xu is the Xu family's aunt. In terms of blood relations, she is also a blood relative.
Zhu Di suddenly said: "I heard that you are very naughty outside the palace."
Zhang Changsheng actually said honestly: "Yes."
Zhu Di still put on an easy-going look and said, "Why do you become more studious after entering the palace?"
Zhang Changsheng said: "When I entered the palace, my father said that if I didn't obey, His Majesty would beat me to death. I was a little afraid of death..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but said: "Zhang Qing is joking with you, I am your uncle, how can I kill you?"
Zhang Changsheng lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhu Di smiled, touched his head, and said, "What a well-behaved child. Why, he stopped talking again. Am I so scary?"
Zhang Changsheng raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Di before saying, "I dare not say."
Zhu Di said: "Say it, say it..."
Queen Xu looked at the timid look on Zhang Changsheng's face and said hurriedly: "Okay, Changsheng, go and have a rest."
Zhu Di suddenly felt something strange, but said: "I'm not busy, come and listen to what you say...I won't be surprised at all."
Zhang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said as if he had made a strong decision: "My father said that the most terrifying person in the world is the one who dares to eat feces. Uncle... Your Majesty, have you really eaten it?
Is it delicious?”
Zhu Di: "..."
Queen Xu grabbed Zhang Changsheng and winked at the eunuchs. Then one of the eunuchs hugged Zhang Changsheng and left.
Empress Xu stroked Zhu Di's back and said: "Your Majesty, children's words are unbridled, children don't understand anything, this silly child..."
Zhu Di had blue veins on his forehead exposed, he grinded his teeth, and it took him a long time to say: "Fuck you!"
Empress Xu laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, so you should go to bed early. Your Majesty is getting older and is not as young and strong as he used to be. You must pay attention to your dragon body."
Zhu Di said: "Let that boy Changsheng come to me later. I want to teach him by words and deeds. Don't always imitate some people and teach him some crooked ways."
Queen Xu said: "Yes, yes, that child really has too little knowledge, that's why he is so confused."
