Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

For this kind of article that interprets Xiong Tingbi's three-party defense strategy and clarifies his own understanding, it is a piece of cake for Bi Ziyan, a Jinshi who has passed the imperial examination.

He picked up the pen in one go without any hesitation.

But after reading his article, Li Ruhua said: "Jing Zeng is a wonderful pen. This article is well written, but I still have to write it again in vernacular."

Bi Ziyan was a little confused.

Li Ruhua sighed, "You know that His Majesty is the only one who came to the throne to study. I haven't read much before. After I ascended the throne, I started to study, relying on my talent, intelligence, diligence and hard work. I have roughly read the "Four Books" in the past few months." once."

It turned out that His Majesty couldn't understand his own article.

Bi Ziyan had no choice but to rewrite the article he thought he was proud of in vernacular.After reading it, Li Ruhua handed it to Wang Yingjiao.

Wang Yingjiao was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, and Li Ruhua was two subjects behind him.Although Li Ruhua is a minister and a superior, he entrusted the merger of the two capitals, Wang Yingjiao didn't care about his status, and really wanted to do things for the court.Otherwise, Wang Yingjiao's qualifications are older than him, and his ability is not inferior to him. If he wants to propose to be an official, it will be a loss and trouble for the court.

Therefore, Li Ruhua is very good at being a man when it is time to respect his predecessors.

"Brother Qianfu, can you read Jing Zeng's vernacular again?"

Wang Yingjiao has been immersed in the officialdom for almost 50 years. The more Li Ruhua respects him, the more he gives Li Ruhua absolute superior face.

After reading the article, he carefully blew on the ink that was not completely dry, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Mao is careful and considerate. If you don't tell me, I haven't paid attention to the matter of the emperor reading the scriptures. I gave it to you more than two months ago. The book on the emperor's book is to oppose Xiong Feibai's three-party strategy, worrying that the court will not be able to spend these large sums of silver. I don't know how the emperor understands it. Now listening to Jing Zeng's analysis, if it can be done. This is 200 million It should still be spent."

Bi Ziyan was modest, "It's because the juniors never considered the annual income and place of the imperial court, and only thought about things from Xiong Feibai's briefing."

Li Ruhua continued: "Even so, it's because of your unique vision, Jing Zeng, that you never rejected this plan because it cost too much. If this plan is feasible, but it was abandoned due to budgetary issues, it is because the Ministry of Household Affairs has misunderstood the court." .”

Li Ruhua went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation excitedly carrying Bi Ziyan's booklet, but was told that the emperor was in Qianqing Palace and hadn't come today.Liu Shimin saw the Minister of the Household Department coming, and thought to himself what kind of luck it was.In less than half the morning, Shoufu came, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment came, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Household came again.

But he could only go forward and repeat what happened last night.

Li Ruhua nodded in praise and said: "The Son of Heaven is kind and caring for the younger brother, and the old man's affairs are not very urgent."

That is to say, it is still "urgent".

Liu Shimin immediately said: "Li Shangshu, how about we record your affairs first?"

Li Ruhua handed the notebook to Liu Shimin.

"Liu Neixiang, please pass this on to the emperor to see first, and I will come back in the afternoon."

Liu Shimin made the registration and put the booklet on the urgent list. Li Ruhua was secretly satisfied and said goodbye.

Zhu Youxiao hugged Zhu Youzhen last night and used his internal energy to warm and nourish his internal organs. When it was approaching dawn, he was exhausted and had to go to sleep.At first, he held Zhu Youzhen in his arms, warming his cold feet with his own body temperature.Later, he fell into a deep sleep, and Liu Shimin took Zhu Youju out of his arms to let the nanny breastfeed him. Seeing that he didn't notice, he didn't wake him up.

When Zhu Youxiao woke up naturally, it was almost noon, and Zhu Youjian brought the three sisters over, and they were playing with Zhu Youxuan.

"Brother Huang." The four of them greeted the elder brother who had just washed up in unison.

"Goro, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, Eighth Sister. Come and see Qilang."

Several people nodded, and Zhu Youxuan immediately opened his hands to hug Zhu Youxiao.

"Brother Huang, Qilang is very kind to you."

The sixth daughter of the emperor had been teasing Qilang for a while, but Qilang, who is usually more active, just saw that she didn't respond.

"He's so sick that he doesn't have energy. After a few days he recovers, you can tease him again. Pass on the meal."

The nanny stepped forward to take Zhu Youfan away, but Zhu Youfan turned around and ignored the nanny, wrapping his arms around Zhu Youxiao's neck tightly.

"Forget it, I'll hold him and eat."

Zhu Youzhen watched his brothers and sisters sitting around the table eating, his mouth kept chewing and chewing, and suddenly, taking advantage of Zhu Youxiao's unpreparedness, he threw his hands on the dining table.The nanny standing aside was so scared that she reached out her hand quickly, and seemed to grab the little man who almost broke free from Zhu Youxiao's arms.

"You take him away."

Zhu Youxiao let go, and the nanny hugged the seventh son who was about to cry, regardless of whether he understood or not, she just coaxed him in a low voice: "You are still young, you can't eat those things yet. You can't eat them until you have teeth."

The sixth daughter of the emperor swallowed the food in her mouth and said: "Qilang has long teeth, and he has four."

The nanny smiled dryly: "What the princess said is true. Qilang has seven teeth, but he will have to wait a few years to eat the same as you. He can only eat milk now."

Zhu Youxiao was very tired, barely ate half of the usual amount and didn't want to eat any more.He asked the eunuch to fill half a bowl of soup for himself, drank it slowly, and waited for Zhu You to check some.

When Zhu Youjian had finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, and he put down his spoon too.

"Xiaoqi can't just eat milk. After his stomach and intestines recover in a few days, you can take him as you take care of the child at home. If you need to feed him porridge or something, feed him a spoonful or two every day."

The nanny quickly agreed, and as for how to cook the porridge, someone will deliver it after the emperor orders.

After lunch, the imperial physician took Zhu Youzhen's pulse again and said that there was nothing wrong.Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Shimin to prepare a warm sedan chair, the nanny held Zhu Youxuan, and Zhu Youjian and his sisters sent Zhu Youxuan back to Yanqi Palace.

"Goro, you told Niang Niang Feng to take care of Qilang carefully."

Zhu Youjian nodded.

"Brother Emperor, I will tell Lady Feng. In the morning, I went to Yanqi Palace and told Lady Feng that Qilang would not have diarrhea or burn. Lady Feng burst into tears of joy, and said that she would come to thank you."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "I have a lot of things going on here, and it was a great help for you to tell Niangniang Feng to be optimistic about Qilang. You go back, and I will visit you when I am free."

After Liu Shimin waited for Zhu Youjian and others to leave, he first told about Fang Shoufu's arrival in the morning.

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

"It should be nothing important. Huang Shangshu from the Criminal Department came and left a note saying it was related to artillery. Li Shangshu from the Household Department brought two notes, saying that his affairs are not very urgent."

"Bring over Li Shangshu's notebook first."

Liu Shimin presented the brochure, "My lord, Li Shangshu said that he will come again in the afternoon."

"Well."

These cabinet ministers and ministers are now well-educated, and they pass their notes directly to the imperial court when they have something to do, and they don't leave the six subjects or the cabinet.

They are all thoughtful.

Zhu Youxiao took a quick look at Bi Ziyan's explanation of Xiong Tingbi's three-party defense, and laughed secretly. This means that Bi Ziyan is using the belly of a gentleman to measure the heart of a "villain".Strictly speaking, Xiong Tingbi's strategy is very good.The bad thing is that Xiong Tingbi played a little too narrow-minded in his three-party brochure, and refused to write down his thoughts clearly, hiding some unspeakable little calculations.

Although this person is self-willed and proud of his talents, he was born as a Jinshi and knows to leave room for himself.

Alas, these people are really talented.But if you pay too much attention to personal fame, you have too many things to calculate in your heart, and you will inevitably be hindered in your actions.It is the current dozen of important ministers who can't stand up to Zhou Yu alone, let alone Sun Ce who can't even catch up with flattery.

In the final analysis, it is the lack of heroism that should be indomitable.

Zhu Youxiao slowly slid his finger over Bi Ziyan's notebook.This kind of thing, only Bi Ziyan who "can earn and spend" dares to raise his hand to agree.

"Liu Shimin. Send someone to tell the Minister of the Household Department and the two servants to come to Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Youxiao talked with the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance in the inner study of Qianqing Palace all afternoon behind closed doors.The monarch and his ministers fully exchanged opinions and reached an agreement to let Xiong Tingbi supplement and improve his three-party defense strategy, which must be fully explained in detail.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao also said: "Xiong Shilang's idea is based on the fact that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were afraid of confronting the Jiannu cavalry after the Battle of Sarhu. The imperial court used 1000 million taels of silver to pile up the Guangning cavalry. They will still be defeated when confronted with Jiannu, and they may still run away."

Bi Ziyan was a little excited, "Your Majesty, I request an order to train the army."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head with a smile, "Zhou Shangshu and I have been busy for a long time before picking a servant who is satisfied with the two ministers of the household department, and I am waiting for you to help manage the world's wealth.

This war is based on military supplies, and what is fought is the confidence of money.There is still room for maneuver in Liaodong. As long as Xiong Shilang can hold on to this winter, Jiannu has no supplies from Shanxi merchants. Under the hunger and cold, as long as Nu/Erhachi cannot get the food to feed the Jin people, the matter of falling apart is in sight. up. "

Bi Ziyan looked up at the confident young emperor and asked, "What if Xiong Shilang can't keep Shenyang?"

Zhu Youxiao spread his hands, "If you can't hold it, you can't hold it. Jiannu only has a population of several hundred thousand, and there are only 10,000+ soldiers who can go to battle. Once the battle line is stretched, their manpower will not be enough.

Therefore, the imperial court had to build newer and better artillery within the limited turning time, and use the overwhelming artillery advantage to offset the advantage of the Jiannu cavalry over the Ming infantry.

My plan is to spend 200 million taels on artillery and gunpowder, and then go north to make Nu/Erhachi regret making troubles in Liaodong. "

It was Bi Ziyan's first meeting with the saint, and he had reservations about some words.When he returned to the household department, he said to Li Ruhua and Wang Yingjiao: "What if we can't make better artillery?"

Li Ruhua patted him on the shoulder and said: "It was not long ago that I learned that His Majesty's specialty lies in the ingenuity of mechanism, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary craftsmen. Huang Shaofu is also very accomplished in making cannons. It seems that he has cast about two thousand pieces by his hands." Artillery. I am very much looking forward to your Majesty and Huang Shaofu's early success."

These were things Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan had never heard of.

The two looked at each other, and decided in their hearts that they should read more and express less opinions in the future.
