Chapter 333: Wanmin Watch
It was raining heavily inside and outside the imperial city, and it was very wet and cold everywhere.
Mo Sui, Fan Shijin, Du Weizhong and others who had just arrived in the capital, regardless of the rain in the sky, had already arrived outside Hongwu Gate and knelt down to ask the Emperor of Ming to set up an official to "govern" Annan and incorporate the land into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. They also presented a message to the people, saying that the local Confucian scholars and the people were all interested in the court.
But Emperor Zhu Di did not meet these people immediately. He was still watching the "Table of Ten Thousand People" with the ministers in the Imperial Gate. The Table of Ten Thousand People was full of signatures, and the wide silk paintings had various handwritings.
Wan Minbao was placed in front of him, but Zhu Di did not decide to annex Annan Kingdom for a long time. Because of this, the ministers in the court had great disputes, especially the prince's young master Yao Guangxiao was very opposed. In addition, civil officials such as the left Yude Yang Shiqi of the East Palace also tried their best to dissuade him.
Most of the former generals of the Yan Prince's Mansion, the Dukes and Generals, agreed. Among the people who agreed to the Annan Kingdom, there were also civil officials, among which the civil officials with a clear opinion was Hu Guang of the Hanlin Academy.
Just when the ministers were arguing, Xie Jin stood up and suddenly looked at Hu Guang coldly and said, "Please take the pig?"
As soon as these four words were spoken, the imperial gate, which was still talking a lot, immediately became quiet. Zhu Di’s face on the throne was also very ugly!
The joke that the Zhu is optimistic about is widely circulated in the officialdom of the capital. It is said that the "Jingnan Campaign" had just ended. When the Yan Army captured the capital, Hu Guang, the top scholar who had previously made a generous statement about dying for his country, told his family before going out: It was very chaotic outside, so you should be optimistic about the pig. This statement turned into a joke for a moment. All the officials said that a man who was going to die for his country could not even bear to bear a pig. Isn't this a joke?
So when Xie Jin told the pig joke, everyone didn't know what to say. Because everyone was just talking about the matter and only talked about different political opinions | Zhang, Xie Jin directly started attacking other people's character, what is the best thing to say?
Of course, Zhu Di was not happy, and his face was not good-looking without saying a word. No matter what Hu Guang's courtesy, since Hu Guang was already a minister of the Yongle Dynasty, how could he be insulted in public?!
Minister Yang Shiqi originally had the same idea as Xie Jin, and then advised: "Master Xie, let's only talk about things."
Xie Jin said angrily: "Yang Yude is right! We are all planning things and are anxious about the country's urgent needs. Hu Shixuan is good. Regardless of right or wrong, he only knows how to figure out the best intentions. We are ashamed to join him in such misleading the country!"
Hu Guang's face suddenly turned red, and the ministers were stunned.
Zhu Di could still bear it just now, but at this time he couldn't bear it anymore. He pressed his palm on the imperial desk with anger and hummed. He still didn't say anything and stood up straight and left his seat.
Everyone did not discuss the result, so they had to salute one after another, saying, "I respectfully send you to the emperor!"
As soon as Zhu Di walked out of the imperial gate, he turned around and cursed: "He is it! I want this..."
The eunuch Gouer, who followed him, bent down there, as if waiting for the angry emperor to kill Xie Jin with one word!
This dog is the eunuch of the Silijian, not Wang Gou'er; Wang Gou'er has another person, and is an eunuch who works as an imperial chef. However, the two of them are both eunuchs who have made contributions in the "Jingnan Battle".
Zhu Di raised his hand, but left a half sentence, and said nothing harsh words, and gently put his hand down again.
Zhu Di is often very violent, but he is a person who can control his emotions!
He now held back his breath, but was still very angry. Xie Jin was right, and Hu Guang was really guessing, but it was too embarrassing to say this in public... Since the emperor already knew what he had to discuss with so many ministers, wasn't that very false?
Not only did Xie Jin scold Hu Guang, but Zhu Di felt that his face was also hot.
But Zhu Di actually held back. After all, Xie Jin was that kind of character, which made Zhu Di unhappy more than once. If he killed Jie Jin now, wouldn’t Zhu Di’s previous patience be wasted?
Zhu Di thought for a while and said to Gou'er: "I can't use the surname Xie. Annan is short of a large number of officials. I will bring a message to the people from the Ministry of Personnel and add Xie Jin's name. I'm not upset!"
The dog immediately bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Zhu Di ordered another eunuch, "It's still raining, go and settle the Annan people without making any big fuss."
After he arranged it, he sat straight into the Ganqing Gate, then turned right and walked up the inclined corridor to the East Warehouse.
Zhu Di walked past the partition and sat down on the chair inside where Zhang Taizu and Jianwen had sat down. He sat for a long time without saying a word, as if he was calming the emotional fluctuations just now.
Gao Xu and Zhang Fu did a very good job in Annan Kingdom! In less than a year, they not only conquered the entire Annan Kingdom, but also offered a reward to capture the Hu father and son and other traitors.
When he offered prisoners to the capital, he beheaded the thieves in front of the envoys of various countries to serve as a warning to others. That was really something that could promote the emperor's reputation. When Zhu Di thought of this, his displeasure just now quickly dissipated.
However, Gao Xu does not seem to advocate annexation of Annan Kingdom.
Zhu Di thought about it and looked up at the eunuch Gou'er standing next to him. This dog was also Zhu Di's confidant, and the eunuch who held his head and worked hard during the Jingnan Campaign.
"You are the only one, you can prepare and go to Annan Kingdom quickly." Zhu Di said, "Issuing an order to ask Gao Xu to withdraw his men from the garrison first, and then lead his troops to escort the prisoners back to the capital."
The dog hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhu Di said again: "After the order is passed, Gao Xu talks to you, just tell him that the queen is in bad health. This time he returns to Beijing and see his mother. I also have some words and want to say to Gao Xu in person."
The dog immediately replied, "I remember it."
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "By the way, the Queen of Chen, Annan, claimed that she had a son, and the woman's words were not trustworthy, and the child's identity was difficult to confirm. He told Gao Xu not to worry about that matter. After he got up and returned to Beijing, Zhang Fuxian was asked to take care of Annan's affairs."
The dog repeated it carefully and left and walked out of the East Warehouse.
Zhu Di stood up from the chair, paced back and forth on the brick floor with his hands behind his back, and then looked at the wall above. Another eunuch next to him saw his eyes and immediately walked over, pulled open the curtain on the wall, revealing a huge map.
Zhu Di still stood in front of the wall with his hands behind his back, staring at his territory for a long time.
...The eunuch Gou'er first passed an edict to the Hanlin Academy and asked them to write the content. When they got the imperial gate tomorrow, they would be the imperial edict. Gou'er had to wait until he got the imperial edict, and then he quickly set off to go south to handle the work.
