Chapter 54 The Emperor’s Edict

The sergeant ran like a gale and passed in front of Zhu Xiongying, but his speed did not slow down at all.

This is the rule set by Lao Zhu. Smoke is burned at the border and military reports are rushed for eight hundred miles. Those who submit military reports must not stop for even a moment from entering Fengtianmen to the emperor's palace.

border.

Which border?

The north? the south? or the sea? It’s not necessarily the west?

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly.

"Report! Report! Report!!!"

Just as Master Zhu was thinking about what happened, another scream sounded from outside Fengtian Gate, and another soldier, covered in blood, rushed through Fengtian Gate, holding a handwritten letter in his left hand, and rushed towards Fengtian Palace.

"Cauldron, what happened?"

Yi Lun raised his head and looked at Zhu Xiongying, his little face showing some uneasiness.

"fine."

Zhu Xiongying smiled calmly and led Yi Lunchao up the steps of Fengtian Palace.

What is going on, you will naturally know after entering Fengtian Hall.

Liu Rixin, who was following behind him, still lowered his head and looked down, thinking about how to explain the hexagrams to Lao Zhu for a while. He was not surprised at these two urgent military reports.

The changes in the old man's expression all fell into Zhu Xiongying's eyes.

If it wasn't that the old man was too insensitive, it was because he had previously estimated that there would be chaos at these two borders.

Last night, Zhu Xiongying sensed that someone was telling his fortune, so he fought back, causing the old man to vomit blood.

But today, Zhu Xiongying had no obstruction and allowed the old man to calculate. He also wanted to see what fate the Ming Dynasty's number one divine divination could calculate for himself.

Judging from the skill of divination alone, Zhu Xiongying still highly recognized the Ming Dynasty's number one divine divination.

Enter Fengtian Hall and Nuan Pavilion.

At a glance, he saw Lao Zhu, who was supporting his sick body and sitting on the bed, looking at an urgent document in his hand.

But looking at Lao Zhu's helpless appearance, even the hand holding the document is shaking, one can't help but sigh. A generation of heroes will eventually come to an end.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Grand Sun has arrived."

The old eunuch bowed beside him and reminded in a low voice.

"My grandson sends his regards to the imperial grandfather."

"Yi, Yi Lun, here, pay your respects to the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Xiongying took Yi Lun, one big and one small, to salute Lao Zhu. Yi Lun was obviously a little afraid of Lao Zhu and was very nervous.

"The common people pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Rixin knelt in the back and kowtowed.

"You're here just in time, come and take a look."

Lao Zhu took a deep breath. He had to admit that not only was his body getting old, but his mind was also not working properly. Looking at this emergency document, he wanted to make a decision, but his mind felt like a mess.

The only lucidity he had told him that when he was so confused, he absolutely could not make decisions on military and national affairs, otherwise it would bring disaster to the country, and he would be more likely to be used as a weapon by someone with ulterior motives.

"yes."

Zhu Xiongying stood up and took the two urgent documents from the border customs that had been urgently sent from 800 miles away.

The first letter came from Zhu Zhi, King of Liao.

Zhu Zhi, the fifteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in the 10th year of Hongwu. In the 11th year, he was granted the title of King of Wei. In the 25th year, he was granted the title of King of Liao. He became the vassal of Liao. He is only 21 years old this year, three years younger than Zhu Xiongying.

.

These young vassal uncles spent their early years following Zhu Xiongying and eating dust.

The Liao territory of Zhu Zhi's vassal was adjacent to Goryeo.

'What kind of nonsense do you want to do together?'

'Is this the so-called halo of the protagonist?'

Zhu Xiongying looked at this military report and couldn't help but want to curse.

This bullshit butterfly effect, if you keep tossing it to death, it won’t get any better.

It stands to reason that in the 31st year of Hongwu there was no longer Goryeo, and it was replaced by North Korea.

The original historical trajectory should be like this: In the 21st year of Hongwu, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo deteriorated. King Wang You of Goryeo and his important minister Cui Ying sent troops to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. General Li Chenggui, who was close to the Ming Dynasty, served as the commander and marched to Waihua Island in the Yalu River.

At that time, he disobeyed orders and returned to the army, captured Kaijing, exiled Cui Ying, and forced Wang Yu to retreat.

Then Li Chenggui acted as a regent according to the rules for several years. In the 25th year of Hongwu, he deposed the Gao family and asked the Ming Dynasty to be crowned king. However, the name of the country of Goryeo was not immediately deactivated. It was not until the following year that the name of the country of Goryeo was removed by the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty.

, follow the name of North Korea.”

But the situation now is completely different.

Because King Baobao of Beiyuan was still alive, Lan Yu did not completely eliminate Beiyuan's forces. Beiyuan continued to wander outside the Great Wall and gradually regained its former strength, posing an increasing threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, the evil butterfly effect was linked. After being canonized by the North Yuan Dynasty, the Goryeo King Wang You, who was already pro-Yuan, received strong protection from the forces of the North Yuan Dynasty, and suppressed the pro-Ming faction in Goryeo.

of.

This time Goryeo sent troops because it was clear that the Ming emperor and the prince were critically ill and wanted to take advantage of the situation. It may also be that they were ordered by Bei Yuan to find out the reality of the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhu Zhi’s letter is even more interesting.

Because the Liao region borders Korea, its military strength is very heavy. The total number of the various armies is at least 100,000.

However, Zhu Zhixin's text is full of words such as "Koryeo's military front is too fierce, our army is invincible, the city is broken, and we are retreating. I beg the court to send troops quickly."

It's really a chicken butt tie.

This is obviously because he doesn't want to spend his own money.

"We are dizzy and unbearable. You can stop military affairs yourself."

Lao Zhu held his forehead, looking really bad.

"Um."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and paused for a moment.

"A decree is sent to the King of Liao that if a city is lost in Liao, his salary will be cut off ten thousand years old. If a mansion is lost, he will be granted the title of county prince. If he is lost in Liao, he will be ordered to commit suicide to thank the world."

As soon as these words came out, the old eunuchs who were taking notes in Nuan Pavilion shuddered.

Make the prince commit suicide?

Lao Zhu also frowned, but didn't say anything.

He has spent half his life in the military and is well versed in the principle of military orders being like mountains.

What's more, with Lao Zhu's IQ, how could he not know what little tricks Zhu Zhi was doing, and he was clearly deliberately avoiding the battle and not wanting to give up his own fortune.

But even though Lao Zhu saw through it and was angry in his heart, he had a splitting headache and couldn't think normally at all.

According to historical records, a hundred days before the death of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the palace was not in the palace, and he was barely awake for a day. He did not issue any government orders in the name of the emperor, and all government affairs were handled by Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the time.

"Your Highness, in what name is this edict issued?"

The old eunuch asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's the emperor's edict."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the old eunuch and thought, are you so stupid?

This is what I call holding my grandfather in order to command the princes.

"Obey, obey the order."

The old eunuch bowed quickly, turned around and hurriedly went to Hanlin on duty at Fengtian Hall to ask him to draw up the imperial edict.

"Wait a minute, draw up another imperial edict and order Chang Mao to supervise the military affairs of the Liaodong provinces and set off immediately for the Liao region."

Zhu Xiongying added another one.

Of course, this military order is not simple. He will also summon Chang Mao privately to explain some matters later.

Chang Mao was the eldest son of Chang Yuchun. He had fought for the country in all directions in his early years. He inherited Chang Yuchun's title of Duke Zheng and became the crown prince and Taifu. In this capacity, he went to Liao to supervise the army. Zhu Shishi, a young young man, could not make any trouble.

After finishing this, Zhu Xiongying picked up the second emergency document.
