MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 6 The Son of Heaven Shouguomen

  Chapter 6 The Son of Heaven Guards the Gate of the Country

  Yao Guangxiao Xing entered the palace.

  He is Emperor Yongle's confidant, but he is also a monk. With these dual identities, it is more convenient for him to enter and exit the palace than ordinary ministers.

  Emperor Yongle drove the Wenlou today, and just finished the sutra feast.

Obviously, Zhu Di was very dissatisfied with the Jingyan. He looked displeased. Hearing that Yao Guangxiao had an audience and announced him to enter the Wenlou, he snorted coldly: "The ministers must say that they teach by themselves, and show the people that they can do it." From; governing by the Tao, and transforming the people's frivolity...such nonsense..."

  Yao Guangxiao hastily interrupted Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the poor monk has just returned from Hu Yan's house."

  Zhu Di said: "How?"

   "The poor monk is trying his sword."

"Um?"

   After finishing speaking, Yao Guangxiao told about what happened to him in the school, and then the **** who came with him came in with a stack of 'playbooks'.

  Zhu Di forced a smile: "It's just cleaning up a few sticks, why bother."

  Yao Guangxiao smiled without saying a word.

  Zhu Di said: "Alright, let's take a look together and see how knowledgeable these Lizi are."

   Neither Zhu Di nor Yao Guangxiao had high expectations for this. What insights can a group of teenagers write?

  These "memorials" are exactly as they thought, most of them are just tasteless, and they don't arouse the interest of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao in the slightest.

   Therefore, the two monarchs and ministers picked up the memorial and read it one after another, while chatting: "Has the order of the Crown Prince been issued?"

   "Should be sent."

  Zhu Di looked up at Yao Guangxiao meaningfully.

  The word should be very mysterious.

  The implication is... This matter was not handled by Yao Guangxiao, nor did he ask about it.

   Zhu Di withdrew his gaze, nodded and nodded, but at the next moment, he suddenly cursed: "It's full of nonsense, what is this kid stuffing in his head? Straw?"

  Yao Guangxiao glanced at it, but it was Zhu Yong's memorial.

  Zhu Di's face was ashen, but he still held back, and then opened the next book of memorials, and when he looked again, his eyes were straightened, and his beard began to tremble.

  Yao Guangxiao: "..."

  This memorial is even more amazing, it is actually blank.

  There are only two words...Zhang Fu!

  Zhu Di broke his defense.

  His face was slightly flushed, his chest was heaving, but he couldn't speak a word.

  Yao Guangxiao was also speechless at this time.

  But after a while, Zhu Di's tiger eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and finally...a drop of liquid came out of his eyes.

  Zhu Di sniffed. This person who was killed in the chaos and never changed his blood was crying.

Zhu Di covered his face with his long sleeves, and said with sobs: "What a hero Shimei (Zhang Yuzi) was back then, why did he give birth to such a dog? If he is alive in heaven, he will definitely blame him if he knows that his children are so miserable. I didn't take good care of the Zhang family... Tiger father and son, tiger father and son!"

  Yao Guangxiao said: "My condolences to Your Majesty, I am still a child after all."

"It's already like this at such a young age, how can it be okay when you grow up?" Zhu Di gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and said angrily: "His father broke into the enemy's formation to save me, and died in exhaustion. I can't I'm sorry for him, Zhang Fu lacks discipline, so I will discipline myself."

Then he pointed to the memorials scattered on the royal case, and couldn't help cursing: "Look at these people... Is there any one who is promising? Their father and brother, which one is not a dragon and phoenix, it can be seen that the discipline of them is so lax on weekdays. What a state!"

   As he spoke, he picked up one of the memorials, opened it, and said viciously: "Look, look at what is written... The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the foolish officials thought... The key to the Ming Dynasty lies in moving the capital..."

   Read it here...

   Suddenly, Zhu Di suddenly felt something was wrong.

  This is a memorial that I picked up at random, but at the beginning of the five words, the emperor guards the country, but it hits the depths of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao's hearts all at once.

  The two monarchs and ministers couldn't help but looked at each other, dumbfounded for a while.

  Especially Yao Guangxiao, his expression was extremely dignified, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this son... how do you know this?"

  Zhu Di has already shed his tears. Yao Guangxiao's words are very famous.

  What is the emperor guarding the gate of the country, that is, moving the capital to Beiping.

  Why did you move the capital to Peiping? In history, some people said that Zhu Di had feelings for Peiping because he was once named King of Yan and his residence was in Peiping.

   Of course, this is by no means the real reason.

  The fundamental reason is that a talented and broad-minded person like Zhu Di, of course, knows where the biggest ills are in today's world.

  Although the Ming Dynasty ruled the world, its heartache will always be in the north. Although the nomads in the north have suffered heavy losses, their strength should not be underestimated.

   Then at this time, the entire Ming Dynasty fell into a terrible situation. To defend against the north, it is necessary to gather an elite army.

  The line from Nanjing to Liaodong and Yanyun was thousands of miles away, and the emperor could not control the army. Now that these frontier troops can still be controlled, it can be said that in time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a lot of military towns in the late Tang Dynasty.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the frontier army from becoming too large, a good method was thought of, that is, to strengthen the cadres and weak branches, that is, to organize the most elite soldiers and horses in the world into the imperial army, and all of them were stationed in the capital. Under Lao Tzu's nose, there is no such thing as an arrogant soldier.

And this kind of disadvantage is also huge. All the elite soldiers from all over the world went to the capital to station, and the strength of the border towns must be insufficient. Therefore, the Liao, Jin and Mongols rose up, but the Song Dynasty had to blindly compromise with them. , The situation of world unification was incinerated.

  Zhu Di has been in the border town for a long time, of course he knows that Daming will definitely encounter this problem in the future, and there is almost no solution to this problem.

   Either let the frontier army grow up, or give up the border defense of Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the military system of the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, he cannot accept it.

  After Jing Nan succeeded, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao had discussed this issue.

  Finally, Yao Guangxiao proposed the strategy of moving the capital to Beiping.

As long as the capital is moved to Beijing, the elite soldiers of the world can be deployed on the front line of Beiping. Since these soldiers will be under the eyes of the emperor, they will not worry about the situation of separatism. At the same time, Beiping is originally a border town. The elite soldiers in this world are not only the imperial guards defending the emperor, but also the frontier troops stationed at the border, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

   Zhu Di actually made up his mind to move the capital at this time.

   Just…

  Zhu Di held the memorabilia in his hand, and was still thinking deeply, because a new problem appeared again.

  Moving the capital is a matter of great importance. Once the capital is moved, not only will it cost countless money and food, but more importantly, when the emperor goes to Beiping, all civil and military officials will also move along with him.

   But all the civil and military officials, as well as countless honorable ministers, have already lived and worked in peace and contentment in Nanjing. Not to mention, compared to the prosperous Jinling, Beiping can almost be regarded as a place of bitter cold.

  At this time, Zhu Di had just ascended the throne not long ago, and people's hearts were still uncertain. If he proposed to move the capital at this time, I'm afraid the world would be in chaos.

Therefore, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao's final strategy is that this matter should not be rushed, and this matter must be kept secret, and there must be no rumors. Only Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao really have this idea in this world, and it must not be passed on to the first. in the ears of the three.

  But now... a young man, actually went to such a memorial.

  Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di with suspicion in his eyes, as if asking, did His Majesty leak this matter?

  Zhu Di also looked at Yao Guangxiao suspiciously.

  But in an instant, the two of them let go of their suspicions, because they knew each other well, they were both prudent people, and the matter was of great importance, and they would never leak a single word.

  Zhu Di said: "Could it be that this kid... came up with it himself?"

  Yao Guangxiao asked: "Who is this person?"

  Zhu Di looked down at the inscription, and was dumbfounded again.

  He slowly said a name: "Zhang Anshi...is Zhang Anshi...is that..."

  Yao Guangxiao coughed: "What Your Majesty said, could it be the wife and brother of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

  Zhu Di lowered his head to read the memorial again, in which he not only proposed that the emperor guards the gate of the country, but also explained the reason clearly.

  Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "This person's handwriting is like a dog crawling, but the writing is very clear. Such a fool has such insight. Isn't he full of evil?"

   Speaking of this, Yao Guangxiao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times. Rumors in the market are not enough to be believed. It's just... how can this be done?"

  Yeah, it was a bottom line, but it turned out to be a big fish.

  Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, he frowned, and suddenly bared his teeth and sneered, "A kid like this shouldn't have such insight, could it be the prince..."

  Yao Guangxiao immediately showed joy after hearing this: "Then, the poor monk will congratulate Your Majesty."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di also felt greatly relieved.

He doesn't like the prince. On the one hand, the prince is too fat and doesn't look like a gentleman. On the other hand, he thinks that the prince likes to hang out with a group of rotten scholars, and he is full of benevolence. Such a person... can be a scholar, but he will never be one good emperor.

   How can an emperor be kind to a woman?

  But if it is really related to the teaching of the prince, it is inevitable that the prince has such a strategic vision.

I saw Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "There is no need to continue to ask about this matter. If you ask again, it is inevitable that there will be rumors about moving the capital. Now is not the time. I know these things, you know, and the crown prince can just tacitly agree. "

After all, Zhu Di couldn't help showing his angry face again, and said indignantly: "The other children, I think they are all jerks, find a few special jerks in there, and deal with them severely, especially that Zhang Fu, I will not replace him. Breaking his leg is really difficult!"

  "Really hit?"

  Zhu Di said with a straight face: "Fight!"

  The two of them decided on a plan, and Yao Guangxiao said abruptly: "Did your majesty forget that not long ago, your majesty had a decree to order...His Royal Highness..."

  Zhu Di's face froze suddenly.
