On the west side of the imperial city of Yingtian City, beside the Nine Bends of Qingxi River outside Xi'an Gate.

From Taiping Bridge in the north to Xi'anmenwai Street in the south, and then to Huangjia Lane in the west, the entire vast area is covered by Taisun Mansion.

Just this piece of land is enough to show the extent of Zhu Yuanzhang's love for the emperor's grandson.

The double-eaves pavilion is almost modeled after the layout of the East Palace, but the specifications are slightly lower.

But on the contrary, it was because outside the palace, at the Jiuqu of Qingxi River, Taisun Mansion introduced a running water into the mansion, and created a garden of pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions and rockeries in the mansion.

In the backyard of Taisun Mansion, built with Taihu stones from Suzhou Prefecture, decorated with various shrubs, green plants and famous flowers.

There seems to be a lot of secrets in the corner, but there is a small house built against the wall.

"Your Highness, the troops of Duke Xin and Marquis Xiping will arrive in Yingtian soon."

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince wish that when the Duke and the Marquis enter the city, Your Highness needs you to come out of the city to greet them."

Zhu Yunxi, who had returned from prison and rested for several hours, was leaning on a soft chair and squinting slightly.

Tian Mai stood in front of Zhu Yunxi and bowed solemnly: "Tie Xuan sent a message to ask His Highness, there seems to be a convergence of forces in the Japanese country, and whether the Japanese army can be granted the right to make decisions on the battlefield."

"allow."

Zhu Yunxi said calmly.

Ruilongnao, which has been passed down since the Tang Dynasty, once again appeared in the royal court of the Central Plains because of the new conquest of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty. A faint cigarette smoke floated out from the Boshan furnace and filled the study here.

Tian Mai held a thin pen in his hand and recorded in the small booklet held in his left hand some events related to the report requested by the Japanese.

Later, Tian Mai said again: "Gao Yangzhi came to report that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has sent a letter a few days ago to inquire about the selection and assessment of officials in Jiaozhi Road."

"The Thanh Hoa Metropolitan Governor's Office asked if it could recruit people from Jiaozhi Province to serve as police officers in various cities, and to set up a small number of local police stations."

"The General of the Conquest of the South has come to report that spring is about to begin. Please prepare herbs, armor, gunpowder, firearms and other supplies. Please take turns with the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, and recruit and relocate the people from Zhili to enrich the newly conquered border areas."

Zhu Yunxi lay on the soft chair and turned around to prevent half of his body from being numb.

Then he slowly said: "Jiaozhi Road is one of the thirteen roads of the Ming Dynasty. The officials asked about the selection and assessment of officials on Jiaozhi Road. The chief envoy of Jiaozhi has the unshirkable responsibility. The Qinghua Governor's Office guards Jiaozhi and has the right to do things expediently.

General Nan Da reported it and forwarded it to the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs, etc., so as not to delay the military aircraft."

After finishing talking about things in the east and things in the south.

Tian Mai carefully added all the notes, then turned his eyes and whispered: "Dong Liang asked, now that the northwest is peaceful, when will the DPRK send another general to replace it."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, then remembered that Lan Yu had not been in Beijing for two years.

He patted the soft chair gently with his palm, pondered for a moment and then said: "Put it down and never look back."

Tian Mai raised his head and glanced at the emperor's grandson. He didn't even do anything to reply to Duke Liang.

After thinking for a while, Tian Mai changed his mouth and said: "The King of Yan sent a message asking how long it will take for the cotton armor to arrive in Peiping this winter. His Highness the King of Yan wants to go deep into the grassland this winter."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment.

Then he said softly: "I won't go back. Mian Jia went to sea from Longwan Pier a few days ago and will be sent to Peiping soon."

Tian Mai nodded.

In the end, even though there was no one else in Taisun's house, and there was no one else here except the two of him, he still turned around and looked around.

Then he took a step forward and said in a low voice: "A letter from Zhang Zhiyuan. Tang Keke has now reached the rank of General Qianhu in Peiping."

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "My fourth uncle always discovers many generals and talents."

Tian Mai smiled in agreement and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness asked Zhang Zhiyuan to make friends with the generals from the Peiping side such as Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu. The matter has now been done quite well. Zhang Zhiyuan has already accepted the boys from Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu's family.

Surround yourself as a personal soldier."

Beiping City was laid out since the 24th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yunxi has never relaxed his vigilance about things over there.

Now is not the time to harvest, and there may not be a time in your lifetime when you need to use it.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and sighed softly. He really did not hope that Ming Dynasty would follow the same path in the future.

"Let this matter take its course. Yingtian should reduce his interactions with Zhang Zhiyuan."

Tian Mai nodded and silently agreed.

He never dared to let others interfere in Beiping, let alone expose it in the slightest.

Bang bang bang.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the small study room from outside.

Zhu Yunxi, who was lying on the soft chair, glanced sideways and silently, then closed his hands.

Tian Mai turned around in an instant, his eyebrows raised. He reached behind the door and slowly opened it. When he saw the person coming outside, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the matter?"

Outside the door, there were secret guards under Tian Mai.

Seeing the commander, the secret guard clasped his fists and reported in a deep voice: "Commander Tian, ​​over at the prison, Li Erfu's confession has been asked."

After finishing speaking, the secret guard took out a pen confession from his arms.

Tian Mai took the written confession and waved his hand: "Wait outside."

"Your Highness, this is the transcript of Li Erfu's confession."

After waiting for two full days, Zhu Yunxi heard about the case again. He just opened his eyes slightly, took the confession sent by Tian Mai, and slowly opened it to review.

…

"The memorial given to us by the General Affairs Secretary has been withheld!"

"What exactly does he want to do when he comes to conquer?"

"Do you want to control the court's opinions? Or do you want to do something!"

In the public room of the official office, Wang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, slapped the table with anger on his face.

"Would you like me to write a greeting note for you so that you can ask why you came to conquer?" Zhan Hui rolled his eyes and expressed dissatisfaction with Wang Jun for being so unofficial.

Wang Jun glanced at Zhan Hui with a straight face, then curled his lips and snorted, patted his butt and sat down again.

Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance who was sitting next to him, hummed: "I have already shown you enough kindness in coming to conquer, otherwise we would not know whether these memorials have been sent to His Majesty or whether they have been left behind by the general envoys."

Inside the Si Yamen."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhan Hui nodded silently, agreeing with Yu Xin's remarks, reached out to pick up the teapot in front of him, raised it high, and tilted it carefully.

The sound of gurgling water sounded among several people.

Ru Yu took the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "The case happened the night before, and Wan Jinbiao was taken into custody by Jiang Wei in the Jinyiwei Prison.

Yesterday, Taisun received the news and entered the Jinyi Guard. His Highness stayed in Jinyiwei all night and did not leave until dawn today. He went to Taisun's Mansion to rest.

Tell me, what happened in the meantime?"

After finishing speaking, Ru Jin drank tea silently and looked at the people around her calmly.

Yu Xin let out a light sigh and turned his head to look at Ru Yu: "Tell me, did His Highness find out something? Or does His Highness already know something that we don't know? That's why he stayed in Jinyiwei for a whole day.

Did you just go to Taisun's Mansion to rest after night?"

Several people were stunned.

To be able to allow the grandson to stay in Jinyiwei for a whole night with the price of a thousand pieces of gold shows the importance of this matter in Taisun's heart. And to be able to allow the grandson to leave Jinyiwei and return to Taisun's mansion to rest.

It must have been a new discovery, even a decisive new discovery, that made it possible for Taisun to breathe a sigh of relief and go back to rest.

Zhan Hui tapped his fingers lightly on the table, frowning slightly. He pondered for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally said in a deep voice: "It's better sooner rather than later. I think it's time for me to enter the palace to see the saint at this time.

, bring this matter to face!"

"Should I wait to enter the palace to meet the saint?"

Wang Jun shrank his head and asked with some uncertainty.

Zhan Hui turned his head and glanced at Wang Jun lightly.

A trace of disdain flashed through Yu Xin's eyes, and then he smiled and said: "At that time, I will be the one to take the lead in bringing this matter up. Speaking of which, what the tax office does is also related to my household department."

This is the person who knows how to do things!

There was a hint of appreciation in Zhan Hui's eyes, and he sighed to Yu Xin: "This is the only plan for now. Thank you for the hard work of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Yu Xin cupped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, we are doing it for the world."

Then, the newly promoted Minister of Household Affairs and the newly promoted bachelor of the Cultural Palace had a face full of worries: "It is easy to break through hard work. How can things in the world be smooth sailing all the time? If we keep being so tough, one day we will be exposed."

It’s such a big deal, what should the court and us do?”

"It befits you to be a bachelor."

Wang Jun had already stood up and cupped his hands towards Yu Xin.

Zhan Hui waved his sleeves and stood up: "Everyone, let's enter the palace together."

…

"Your Highness, the latest news is that six ministers have gone to the palace to meet the emperor."
