Chapter 467 Temptation or Forced Palace, Second Minister and Elder

On a spring morning, the air is filled with the smell of milk. Some people say that it is steaming, which is the best time of the year. 』Lie Wen Wang WwΩW. ΔLie Wen. CC

There were not many things to do in the early morning today, just discussing the changes in Jiaozhi.

Even Yang Rong was optimistic that Mu Sheng would surround those rebels in Fenghua Prefecture, and then gather and wipe them out.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhu Di asked people to disperse, leaving only a few auxiliary ministers by his side.

It is not a formal court pairing, so the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is much looser.

Zhu Di took the towel and wiped his face, then asked Yang Rong, "Are you sure about Mu Sheng?"

Yang Rong didn't need to look at the map, he said confidently: "Gong Qian's troops are superior, just surround them. When the time comes, the rebel army will run out of food, and naturally they can only take a desperate blow. My Ming Dynasty should win!"

Zhu Di nodded, thinking that after this battle, Jiaozhi would definitely be able to calm down for a long time.

And his gaze was always on the grassland, waiting for the first confrontation between Alutai and Mahamu who were gearing up.

Zhu Di slightly raised his eyes and saw that Hu Guang was a little dazed, so he gave a soft snort of displeasure.

This is the most political center of Ming Dynasty, and those who can get tickets are equivalent to people like Zaifu.

But did Zaifu ever get distracted by the king's side?

Jin Youzi touched Hu Guang with his foot on the side, Hu Guang was shocked and hurriedly apologized.

"Your Majesty, I was so confused last night that I tossed and turned, and was finally kicked out by my old wife."

Hu Guang said embarrassingly, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace couldn't help but be stunned.

Many people have the story of the grape rack, but it is really rare for someone with a status like Hu Guang to be able to laugh at himself.

"What's the matter?"

Although I think it's not very kind to ask such a question, Zhu Di is in a good mood, so he can use jokes to enhance the friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

The way of being a king, blindly domineering will not last long, and the ministers are terrified and trembling all day long. After a long time, there will inevitably be separation between the monarch and his ministers.

But it's not okay to be too kind,

Not to mention being weak!

At that time, Zhu Yunqi's character was not suitable for being an emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang was already very old, and finally had to leave this huge country to his grandson, and he passed away with endless regrets and worries.

Hu Guang got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will re-edit the Five Classics and Four Books, the Encyclopedia of Nature and Principles, and everyone in the world will be excited and encouraged by hearing about it. This is a great event for my Ming Dynasty! I congratulate Your Majesty."

Last year, Zhu Di had someone rewrite the Confucian classics, and he also pointed out the direction. He selected some annotations from later generations and appended them, summarizing them into the orthodox category.

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's mood became even more joyful. He stroked his beard and said, "It should be compiled next year, and then it will be the foundation, and it will also be able to stabilize people's hearts."

When it comes to exams, the scope is only vaguely delineated at present, but with so many books, the students feel a little at a loss.

Zhu Di's move was precisely to formulate an authoritative textbook as the basis for the imperial examination.

Immediately, the officials praised a few words, and Hu Guang finally said: "Your Majesty, the Five Classics and Four Books have become a must-learn lesson for my Ming students after His Majesty's edict, but if there is a place to ignore the Five Classics and Four Books, then..."

Jin Youzi stood up straight, Yang Shiqi lowered his eyes and remained silent, but Yang Rong frowned at Hu Guang...

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant, the eunuch nodded towards the people below, and then he was left alone in the hall to serve.

Zhu Di looked at Hu Guang expressionlessly, and Hu Guang kept smiling, standing up straight, motionless!

Yang Rong was a little unsteady. He looked at Jin Youzi, but Jin Youzi was looking at his nose and his heart.

What is this doing?

Temptation or coercion?

Yang Rong secretly glanced at Zhu Di again...

A sneer appeared on Zhu Di's face, Yang Rong swore that he was absolutely right, it was sarcasm.

Even though the ridicule came and went quickly, Yang Rong still sighed in his heart, and immediately imitated Jin Youzi as a Bodhisattva.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Jin of the Ministry of War asks to see you."

Just when the string of the atmosphere was about to break, the servants outside reported that the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhan Shi Jin Zhong from Zhan Shifu came.

"I have seen His Majesty."

Jin Zhong saluted with difficulty, Zhu Di couldn't help feeling soft when he saw his sick face, and shouted: "Get up quickly."

This Jin Zhong can be regarded as a legendary figure. He was just a small soldier in the Beiping Mansion, but he made a name for himself in Beiping by means of divination.

Before Zhu Di raised his army, Jin Zhong made many fortune-tellings, saying that it was auspicious, which also gave Zhu Di great confidence.

In terms of Zhu Di's trust, no one present could compare to Jin Zhong, otherwise Zhu Di would not let him assist the prince and grandson.

After Jin Zhong got up, his face was a little flushed, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone said something wrong with my grandson, and I am terrified. I deserve death."

As he spoke, Jin Zhong glanced at Hu Guang. Although he was weak, his eyes still forced Hu Guang to lower his eyes.

Hu Guang is only a second minister, but Jin Zhong is a veteran, one of the founders of the Yongle era.

"The minister is too old to be driven, please beg... for the bones!"

boom!

When Jin Zhong knelt down again, Hu Guang's face was ashen, Jin Youzi moved his feet uneasily, Yang Shiqi was stunned, Yang Rong wanted to step forward, but finally held back.

"A seat."

Zhu Di just said something lightly, and the eunuch personally helped Jin Zhong up, and then moved Zhang Dunzi to sit down for him.

Seeing Jin Zhong panting slightly, Zhu Di's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, and immediately said in a deep voice: "I heard that Xing and Bo Qi Huang have skills, Jin Shangshu can go and see."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Zhong got up, looking old-fashioned, but Hu Guang still didn't dare to raise his head and look at him.

He is not only the minister of the Ministry of War, but also the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who assists the prince and is also ordered to assist the grandson.

Hu Guang, what are you trying to do?

Do you want to say that Jin Zhong is dereliction of duty?

Last time Hu Guang went to Zhu Di and explained his worries about Zhu Zhanji's future. After Jin Zhong knew about this, he was already furious.

"Your Highness is brave and decisive, like His Majesty!"

Jin Zhong left this sentence that embarrassed Hu Guang, and was helped out.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Di's eyes were neither happy nor sad, neither angry nor happy.

Hu Guang walked out of the hall slowly. He stood on the steps and looked down at Jin Zhong who was holding on to the railing with one hand, refusing to be supported, and staggering down alone. His body shook violently.

"Master Hu, stand still."

Jin Youzi came out from behind and supported Hu Guang with a pun.

Yang Rong walked past him, didn't look back, instead chased him down, and grabbed Jin Zhong's arm. Just like that, the two slowly disappeared from sight.

"Master Hu, why bother?"

Yang Shiqi sighed: "I should go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but today...it shouldn't be!"

"How can His Royal Highness put his beak on the grandson's body?"

Jin Youzi disdained Yang Shiqi's good temper, thinking that he was making love with him.

"alright!"

Hu Guang stabilized his mood, and said lightly: "The struggle for the foundation of the country has always been a murder without blood, and I... have no regrets!"

"Why!"

Yang Shiqi stomped his feet, shook his head and left.

Jin Youzi said worriedly: "Master Hu, it seems that His Majesty is a little angry!"

Hu Guang looked at the house, and said firmly: "If Fang Xing relies on His Highness to do miscellaneous studies, I firmly believe that His Majesty will support us, and definitely will!"
