Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, the twelfth year of Yongle, July.

“If people are hurt, they will be scattered; if farmers are hurt, the country will be impoverished.”

Another old doctor came into the palace to check Zhang Xin's eyes after revealing a recruitment notice. After being escorted out of the hall by a young eunuch, Xu was extremely depressed.

"Why do you think so much?"

Zhu Di couldn't stand it.

"I also want to be like the emperor..."

Xu raised her eyes, looked at Zhu Di, and then lowered her head again.

"What happened to me!??"

Zhu Di heard the hidden meaning.

"Nothing serious. Tell me, what happened in Chaoshang that made you come back with a gloomy face?"

Xu changed the subject.

She admired Zhu Di's ability to let go of things.

However, praise should not be used too often, only men can be useful.

"Nothing much, just keeping a sullen face will help them avoid trouble."

Zhu Di forced a grin.

"But the emperor is looking for trouble today and his face is particularly gloomy."

Xu didn't believe it.

"The only one who understands me is the Queen!"

Zhu Di picked up the teapot and took a big sip before complaining to Xu with a pout.

After Zhu Gaochi decided to take Zhang Xin to see a doctor, he began to finish the things he was doing.

The court officials went to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi asked them to go directly to Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was young, so the court officials did not look for him.

Zhu Di could only face the various demands of the court officials in person.

Invisibly, there was less buffer space between Zhu Di and his court officials, and things have not been going smoothly for him recently.

Another thing is that Zhu Di was not sensitive to the hidden meanings of the court officials or even some deep traps.

Now that the court officials asked him to make a decision, he really didn't dare to make it rashly.

So, he felt a little depressed when going to court recently.

"Now, you finally understand your son's good side."

Xu felt quite proud of Zhu Gaochi.

"Of course I don't know, I just don't want to ask him and make him feel proud!"

Zhu Di was stubborn.

"Well, Your Majesty, please let me be proud for a while."

Xu smiled, stood up, and walked out with Zhu Di.

She knew very well that Zhu Di was actually soft-hearted and wanted Zhu Gaochi to spend more time with Zhang Xin.

It just so happened that she needed a change of mood, so listening to national affairs was suitable for her.

"Oh. Three things happened in the court today."

Zhu Di knew that Xu understood, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he took Xu's hand, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard and strolled towards their favorite creek.

As they walked, Zhu Di told Xu about some difficult matters at the court.

The first thing was that King Anding Sang'erjiashijia came to Beijing to apologize, and the court officials meant that as a great country, it should be magnanimous and ask Zhu Di to pardon him.

Zhu Di was actually unwilling to do so.

The second thing is about the horse policy of "raising horses on behalf of officials" and whether to continue.

At present, it was Li Qing, the Minister of War, who requested to continue, but Yang Shiqi opposed it. Zhu Di felt that there seemed to be a trap here.

The third thing was that Yang Shiqi requested to adjust the number of imperial examinations.

Zhu Di had almost no idea about this one.

"King Anding apologizes, why?"

Xu asked about the first thing first. She had not been involved in political affairs for a long time, and it was difficult for her to make a decision without a clear beginning or an end.

Zhu Di gave a brief explanation.

During the Hongwu reign, the late emperor established two guards, Anding and Quxian, in the western Fan area.

In the eleventh year of Yongle, which was last year, Zhu Di sent two eunuchs, Qiao Laixi and Deng Cheng, as envoys to U-Tsang.

When the two men reached Huangyangchuan, Commander Hasan Sun San Ge of Anding and Commander San Jisi of Quxian suddenly went crazy and led the people from the garrison to kill the people sent by Zhu Di, robbed the camels, horses, money and other things, and then left.

After receiving the news, the imperial court sent people to fight. Li Ying, the chief officer of the Shaanxi Xingdusi, and Kang Shou, the commander of the Hezhou Guard, led the Xining guards and the twelve tribes together.

The result of the battle was naturally a successful conquest.

More than 180 members of the Anding Guards were killed, and those who had participated in the looting were also captured.

Because Andingwei was attacked first, Quxianwei's men heard the news and fled in advance, so they were not caught.

Sanggashi, who was once named King of Anding by the court and was in charge of the two guards, had no choice but to go to the capital to apologize.

"Who are these two commanders? How dare they be so bold?"

Xu didn't understand.

When eunuchs are sent on diplomatic missions, they can only bring limited things with them. How short-sighted they are to kill and rob for such a small amount of stuff.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty has so many troops and they are not vegetarians.

Why go down a dead end when you know it's a dead end?

"Ha Sansun Sango is a descendant of the former Yuan royal family. Anding is the land of the Uighurs. As for Sanjisi, he is not a Han Chinese either."

Zhu Di explained the confusion.

"I understand. Whether King Anding can't manage it or doesn't want to manage it, he is not fit to be king any longer. This is absurd. Even if the two guards who caused the trouble were caught, it would be fine. Now only one guard has been caught, and the other has escaped. How can he have the face to apologize?"

Xu got angry when she heard this.

It must be that Tono wasted no time in expanding his territory, forcing those stubborn elements from the previous dynasty who attempted to restore the monarchy to flee towards Anding.

Anding is the place where the Uighurs gather, so the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty naturally don’t care about their lives.

These people colluded with people from the two guards to attack the envoys, trying to stir up border disputes so that they could profit from it.

King Anding allowed those people to stay, so he must bear the consequences.

"It's mainly because Li Ying has achieved great results this time, and he thinks we can discuss something."

Zhu Di touched his nose.

Li Ying led his troops all the way across Kunlun Mountain. Qu Xi'an's men failed to catch up and captured Sang'er Jiashi.

In total, they captured and killed more than a thousand people, recovered the looted property, quelled the riots, and obtained more than 140,000 camels, horses, cattle, and sheep.

This is almost a house raid.

"How did the stuff end up in his possession? Who would believe him if he said there was no collusion?"

Xu rolled her eyes.

"He said that he knew he was in the wrong and went to arrest him before the court did. That's why the court officials complained to me."

Zhu Di also wanted to roll his eyes.

Sometimes he felt that every time he went to court, everyone was acting.

"Do you still care about their chatter?"

Xu was surprised.

"I don't care. You know, those people always talk about morality. I'm just trying to do some good for Dahua!"

Zhu Di didn't mention Zhang Xin much, but he was always worried about her in his heart, and answered awkwardly.

"Alas, those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be killed should be killed. This is not doing good deeds, but raising a tiger to cause trouble. Even Dahua should think this way about this matter."

Xu's heart softened and she held Zhu Di's hand tighter, but she still insisted on her idea.

"Well, that's true. Dahua's ambition to expand new territories is even greater than mine."

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Di felt that what Xu said made more sense.

Zhang Xin's idea of ​​expanding territory to Zhu Gaochi was much more damaging than his own.

He just can't play the kind of economic war where he wins over others and expects them to be grateful to him.
