"What a vassal state? Is it necessary to be so hard?" Zhu Di said politely.

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment. He felt it was necessary to make some congestion for Zhu Laosi.

"Your Majesty, of course it is necessary. What if you defeat it?"

"Defeat?" Zhu Di suddenly became angry, "The powerful generals of the Supreme Country are invincible. Can't even a small country defeat you? It's like a bucket."

Xu Jingchang said, "Your Majesty, look at Emperor Yang of Sui who conquered Goguryeo three times and brought the Sui Dynasty into it. Li Shimin continued to attack Goguryeo, but it was only at the hands of Li Zhi that he destroyed Goguryeo. There are also Nanzhao, Tubo, and Xixia. The Dangxiang people established the country for more than 100 years, fought with the Song Dynasty, Khitan, and Jin, and finally destroyed it in the hands of the Mongols... It is not easy to establish a country, and it is also not easy to destroy a country. If you only know how to mobilize troops to attack, it will be counterproductive. Maybe you will lose 10,000 yourself and kill 800 enemies. After all, some small countries may not have a strong combat power, but relying on the dangers of mountains and streams, you can block millions of soldiers... For example, Annan is such a place."

Zhu Di frowned because there was indeed news recently that Annan was unstable. He planned to dispatch troops to conquer after dealing with North Korea. Unexpectedly, Xu Jingchang pointed it out in advance.

"You boy is against us using troops? Then let's ask you, what should I do if the vassal states are disobedient?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Then find someone who is obedient."

"Look for an obedient person?" Zhu Di frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"That is, if a vassal state has a neighboring country and they have conflicts, they can win over it and serve as helpers. Even if they can't find other countries, they can find helpers from within the vassal state, and they can't bribe them. If they can bribe them, they can't bribe them, and they can't bribe them. In short, fighting is the last resort. It's not that you can't fight, but that you can't use troops casually, especially if the emperor personally fights. If you don't have the confidence to fight quickly, you must never be dispatched."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please see, my family is being renovated, and there are a lot of things. I really don't want to be a commissar of the government."

The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, who proposed to hold this welcome banquet, got a big advantage. After hearing this, his mother Zhang took out a full 100 taels of gold from Zhu Dapang's small vault, and the black boy became a gold boy.

Zhu Di had been insecure for so long and wanted to do a lot of things. There were not many people in the court who could serve Zhu Di well. Especially the unlucky place like Tongzhengsi, which was sandwiched between court officials and emperors.

When Zhu Di heard this, he was so angry that he was so angry that these two children were disobedient!

"I was a vassal in my early years and attacked the desert several times, and was invincible. In the four years of peace, I must fight for the first place in the war. I defeated the strong with the weak and finally entered Yingtian. Regarding the ability to lead troops and fight, I asked myself, and I dare not say that it is a sure thing to dominate the world. How can I be afraid of my head and tail and keep my feet moving forward!"

Is this still the old Zhu family?

"Yes, no one is more suitable than His Highness."

Zhu Di frowned, looked at his sons, and snorted coldly: "What do you say? What do you think of him?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You are speaking now like Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and the others. You have been an official for a long time and are not caring to me. You are very hateful!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is brave, everyone in the world knows that, but the descendants may not have this ability in the future. Your Highness did not come to the front line in person this time, right? By the way, there is also Your Highness the Emperor."

The second child is completely crazy.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu again, "Where are you?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's okay, I've been in the Tongzheng Department for several months, which means major events. The court has rules. Six ministries, nine ministers, all the scholars in the cabinet, and there will be no surprises when they are delivered according to their opinions. For small matters, be careful and don't make mistakes. But then again, you are the eldest son of the emperor, and you don't have to care about small matters... In short, if you are with me, I can study the recipe at home."

Xu Jingchang brought Zhu Zhanji over, "Does His Majesty think he can lead the troops in person?"

"Let your father work hard. I am destined to be a rich and idle person in this life." Xu Jingchang smiled and fought with Zhu Zhanji.

"Sir, something big will happen."

"Xu Jingchang, do you really think the boss is suitable?"

Crazy!

The little guy got a full score in the year-end exam and made an exception to reward him with two crickets. Zhu Zhanji was very happy.

"Second brother, you really just watch it. The boss is doing well now, so you really don't have the will to fight for the throne?" Zhu Gaosui was extremely puzzled.

Seeing that he changed his face and color, Xu Jingchang hurriedly got up, pulled him out, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have no opinion, I will listen to your Majesty."

Zhu Gaoxu said lightly: "As long as you don't lose money, it's fine."

"Brother, this is my first time in Tongzheng and the Ministry of Justice. I don't understand what's going on. Do you have any instructions?" Zhu Gaochi asked for advice humbly.

Xu Jingchang just smiled and said, "Cherish the time now, your nightmare is not far away."

Faced with Zhu Di's angry scolding, Xu Jingchang was calm and said, "Your Majesty, I am young and confused, and I can't tell you the right and wrong. Now that the Great Master has entered the capital, Your Majesty should let him take over government affairs as soon as possible and assist the king and father. No one is more suitable than him and can reassure Your Majesty."

"It's...Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong."

Zhu Gaochi was still a little embarrassed. His cousin helped him so much, but he took his power from the beginning, which was not kind enough.

Zhu Dapang thought about it and it seemed that the same thing happened. He finally went to Tongzhengsi to happily.

The prince was regent, and the eldest brother Zhu Biao was like this at the beginning. At least all government affairs had to be handed over to him a copy...

Seeing that Zhu Dapang had left, Xu Jingchang almost burst out laughing.

Zhu Gaosui had no idea, and the eldest brother said that he would have a blessing in the future, so he should prepare a gift and send it to him!

Father is kind and son is filial, brother is friendly and brother is respectful.

Although I put my hands in my pockets, I don’t know what the opponent is... but it’s better to have less than more things.

"Your Highness, don't hesitate. As long as you are good to the Ming Dynasty, I strongly support you and have no complaints."

Xu Jingchang was stunned, "Didn't you remind Your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi was moved, "I am so lucky. Brother, I will be troubled by you in the future."

Zhu Di was silent for a while and looked at Empress Xu again.

Zhu Di snorted: "This is my grandson. I personally teach him, and he will definitely be both civil and military, and will be invincible in the world."

There is such a saying.

Zhu Di frowned, "Xu Jingchang, what do you mean? When you are happy, you have to make things worse."

Wu Shan said: "The officials just learned that someone had used a grain truck to secretly store top silk and jewelry to go to Beijing to evade taxes. Just now, the Ministry of Revenue came to the news and directly invited His Highness to the emperor and asked Zhu Qianhu to follow him."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, "You can't watch this way. You should prepare a gift for the boss and congratulate him on his rise soon!"

Zhu Di pondered over and over again, "Let the boss go to Tongzheng and observe the politics first, and experience it more." Zhu Di said to Zhu Dapang again: "Boss, although your cousin is young, he has a lot of ideas and is also very good at doing it in the court. If you encounter problems, you can ask him more."

"What about the next generation?" Xu Jingchang said calmly: "There are always people who are not good at fighting. If the imperial guards personally defeated the Ming Dynasty and lost all their family background, it would be a big trouble."

Zhu Dapang jumped into the fire pit at once, and Xu Jingchang also picked himself out successfully.

Although the authority is great, there are many troubles.

Xu Jingchang was stunned and suddenly sneered: "This must be Xia Yuanji's method. He knew that I was in Tongzheng Department and would definitely let the Ministry of Revenue rush forward. As a result, he took advantage of the first day of His Highness to observe politics and became a pawn. This guy is just a smiley tiger, and he has a lot of tricks. I ask you, who is behind the smuggling goods?"

"I also want to be a wealthy and idle person. I'm very satisfied when fighting crickets every day and eating something delicious."

"Then aren't you afraid of losing your post or dismissal?"

After all, in less than a month, it will be the first year of Yongle.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and appointed his own boss?

While the two of them were playing, Wu Shan hurriedly visited.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "The child and his cousin mean the same thing, he said it very well."

Wu Shan said: "Today I went to the Ministry of Personnel to calculate the allowances of the Tongzheng Department, but it was not in the yamen. When I came back, Your Highness and Zhu Qianhu had already left."

After a meal, although he did not officially enthrone the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi took a firm step forward and had the power to observe politics.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I have no other intentions. I just suggest that Your Majesty be cautious and leave rules for future generations. It is also for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty."

A rebellious and fierce general flashed in front of Xu Jingchang's eyes. This guy is famously difficult to deal with. In the army, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu can barely suppress it, but others can't do it at all.

While Xu Jingchang was talking to Wu Shan, a drunken martial artist rushed directly into the Second Hall of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Yahara Yoshi! I'm in... your mother!"

"You damn it, you dare to detain my things. When I charged for Your Majesty, you were holding Zhu Yunwen's egg and being a loyal minister in Jianwen!"
