Chapter 1273: Your Majesty will not give up
The benefit of conquering the Duoyan tribe this time to the court is no less than a great victory.
The emperor and his ministers in the palace were all overjoyed, and their hearts that had been hanging for many days were also put back to their original place.
Zhu Houzhao was even more excited, with a flying expression and a glory of complacent eyes. He only regretted that he could only hide in this Forbidden City and could not visit it in person.
Seeing the masters congratulate, Zhu Houzhao said happily.
"This is a matter of having fun with the whole world. Ha, hurry up and pass on the matter to the mansion. There are few such festive things in our Ming Dynasty."
Thinking of Ye Chunqiu's glory outside the pass, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help feeling lonely again. He was extremely yearning for outside the pass, but he was like locked in a cage and could not get out.
If so, he really wanted to ride a horse and gallop, and share this joy with the soldiers in an immersive way, drink with Ye Chunqiu, and plan a grand plan.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was both envious and excited for Ye Chunqiu, but he could only imagine it. Finally, he clenched his fists hard and said, "So, the crisis has been resolved, okay, this is the blessing of the late emperor."
In fact, Zhu Houzhao really doesn't believe this.
However, when Mr. Cao made such a statement, no one refuted it, not even Zhu Houzhao.
This is not because they are stupid and cannot distinguish the exaggerated words, but because this is what they need. The late emperor...is not only related to the filial piety of today's son, but also to the feelings of everyone in the palace towards the late emperor.
The Tian family was originally ruthless, but when it came to Hongzhi, Zhengde dynasties became freaks. The late emperor was so perfect. Because he had been harmed by Concubine Zheng, he only married Empress Dowager Zhang for life and did not accept any concubines. There was only one son like Zhu Houzhao.
The relationship between father and son is comparable to that of other fathers and sons in the Tian family. Hongzhi is a saint among the emperors. He has a strong family concept and is very friendly to ministers. He never blames and blames him easily. Now, the words of Eunuch Cao made everyone miss the good things about the previous emperor.
Liu Jian's eyes were shining with tears at this moment. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has said something."
Zhu Houzhao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, but I'm fine."
Liu Jian slowly bowed and said with great sincerity.
"Justice Cao just now, and the old minister burst into tears when he talked about the previous emperor. Originally, Duoyan's tribe wanted to rebel, but the old minister was worried. Now he finally had a good result. The old minister was old and could not bear the governance. The old minister thanked the former emperor and entrusted it to the center. The old minister was extremely grateful. However, this useless body was afraid that he would not be able to share his worries for His Majesty, but instead delayed the military affairs. I beg Your Majesty to agree and allow me to return home."
Liu Jian felt relieved. The world is still peaceful now. He can live up to the entrusted by the late emperor and handed over a pretty report card. There are twists and turns, but the result is still satisfactory and not disappointing.
Liu Jian is indeed old, but now he is old and has a dizzy eyes and is old. He even needs someone to help him walk.
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment when she heard this, and finally said reluctantly: "Okay, since that's the case, who can share my worries?"
Liu Jian said: "It's the result of waiting for the court to recommend it."
Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to nod, sigh and said, "That's it."
He looked at Eunuch Cao, and this guy opened his mouth very well, which gave Zhu Houzhao a very deep impression. He couldn't help but seriously look at Eunuch Cao and said excitedly: "What news is there outside the pass?"
"What." Eunuch Cao naturally laughed when he got Zhu Houzhao's attention. "It is said that the Duke of Zhenguo is determined to give Li Duoyan's million-die silver pattern every year..."
Liu Jian, who was relieved just now, felt relieved. The silver from the town government was really blown by the strong wind. It was a waste of money without knowing how to cherish it at all.
Eunuch Cao continued: "After then, all the grasslands of Duoyan's tribe have been shared with Zhenguo Mansion. Qinglong has sent out the express report to Shanhaiguan, and is going to recruit refugees from within the pass to pass."
Liu Jian was immediately shocked and protested: "Your Majesty, this...is something wrong. Most Han people have been unable to withstand the bitter cold when they come out of seclusion. Han people go out of seclusion to grazing. This... has never been heard of."
Zhu Houzhao said disapprovingly: "Ah, Ye Aiqing has told me about this matter, and I should allow the promise, ah... exile some prisoners to Qinglong, and if someone is willing to leave the customs, there are no obstacles in various passes."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jian with a worried look on his face, thought for a moment before continuing: "He is outside the pass, isolated and helpless, and has no relatives. He has his own way to fight against the Tatars. The court has never had any effective methods for the Tatars and the Oirat for so many years. So, let him give it a try. There is nothing wrong with it."
This made several cabinet scholars feel very complicated. Ye Chunqiu is really a troublemaker. He is probably not going to take long to send out millions of silver in the free form. The civil and military officials in the court will vomit blood again. Although it is not the money from the court, criticism is always inevitable.
If this money is spent on the edge of the knife, no one criticizes it, but if it is given to Duoyan, wouldn’t it be wasted? It would be strange if it doesn’t make people feel distressed.
Zhu Houzhao seemed very happy and said, "Ye Chunqiu made great contributions this time..." He kept his word and continued, "But I don't reward you, I have to save it first. Okay, you all go out, Eunuch Cao, stay, I have something to ask you."
Cao Rong was overjoyed and the time for good luck came, so Liu Jian and others stepped down, and Liu Jin was still standing there. Zhu Houzhao glared at him, and Liu Jin had to leave obediently.
In this warm pavilion, only Zhu Houzhao and Cao Rong were left. Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You came from Shanhaiguan. What did you think outside the pass is but the scene? Is it peaceful on the way from the capital?"
Cao Rong said happily: "Your Majesty, it's so peaceful. Since the reign of the throne, the sea has been peaceful and the rivers have been clear, the world has been stable, and the military and civilians have been harmonious."
He smiled as bright as a flower.
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and said thiefly: "Very good, I understand. Are you guarding Shanhaiguan? Xiao Cao, I admire you very much, but you will go back to Shanhaiguan tomorrow. I know that you are a talented person and will definitely be of great use in the future. But there is no hurry now. I still need you to be in Shanhaiguan. Are you loyal to me, right?"
When Cao Rong heard this, he burst into tears. This time, it was obvious that he had the right bet. Cao Rong fell to the ground without saying a word and said, "I am loyal to Your Majesty, but I am sent to you, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
