Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

"Huaiying should know that all the Khanates in the Western Regions submit to my Ming Dynasty. According to the treaty, South Korea must pay tribute to the Guo Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang put down the wine jar, "All the Khanates pay tribute twice a year. There should be 24 times, but this year the court received only [-] tributes, two less in the first half of the year, and seven less in the second half of the year."

Zhu Xiongying frowned, what did Zhu Yuanzhang mean by this?He didn't understand it for a while.

"The offerings, gold, silver, and treasures offered by the Khanate were all collected by the central government, and then the whole process was escorted by the Khanate's tribute team and the official households sent by the court. But in the end the tribute team was complete, and one point Quite a few tributes were sent, but only seventeen times, how do you think these were lost?"

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and said: "Those khanates in the Western Regions are now tolerant and afraid of the power of the country, and they must be borrowing ten courage from them, and they dare not openly provoke. Escorting officials and guards are all registered in the register, and their wealth and lives are tied to the court, so I'm afraid I don't have the guts to do anything."

"En." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and what Zhu Xiongying said was good.

"If Huaiying remembers correctly, then the only way for these khanates in the Western Regions to pay tribute should be Hexi. Hexi is not yet under the control of the Ming government, and the ruler should be the puppet Yuan government."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder: "You're right about what you said. It's such an obvious thing, but guess what? None of the civil and military officials in the court could see it."

Zhu Xiongying smiled wryly: "Are they unable to see it, or are they deliberately pretending not to know that they are acting with Grandpa Huang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "What I hate the most are those old and sour Confucians who use rituals and wars to persuade me all the time. Others come to my door to provoke them. It's good for these people to come, and they keep saying that those are useless. Yes, I don't know how many rice buckets I have raised, all of them are worthless!"

Zhu Xiongying understood why Zhu Yuanzhang was angry. If the situation changed, everyone would be angry.

"These officials are indeed too rigid and have lived in peace and contentment for too long. They are afraid of war, because they know that if they go to war, they will spend money and pay money, and they can't live a peaceful life. Naturally, they don't want to go to war." Zhu Xiongying said suddenly. After a pause, "But I am a big country, so why should I just let those defeated generals stand on their noses? Then what is my power? If I do it once, there will be a second time. Once the enemy thinks that I am weak and deceitful, then the enemy will be ashamed." It will be even more unscrupulous, when the mountains and rivers will be broken, where will Haiqing Heyan come from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, what Huaiying said is good, every sentence has reached my heart! Those old yoghurts really read a lot of sage books, and thought they were trying to reason with others and talk about Confucianism. Can the country be governed?"

"Your Grandpa Huang climbed to this position step by step by himself. How can you really convince the enemy? Grandpa Huang knows better than anyone else." Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. "These thieves who have eyes but don't know Mount Tai naturally want to show them some color."

"Well, Grandpa Huang is right, so who do you intend to send to the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it.

"Your elder father is modest and prudent, and considerate of his subordinates. When he followed me to conquer the world, his superb military talent was enough to see him. Besides, he is good at running the army. He is a good candidate." Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and then said, "But I You know, Wei Guogong was seriously ill last year and managed to save his life from the gate of hell, and he is too old to go out for the country."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Well, the eldest father is naturally willing to devote himself to Daming and die, but now that he is old and his body is not what it used to be, it is indeed beyond his capabilities."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Looking at our dynasty, Song Sheng and Lan Yu are the bonuses for being able to fight."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

It depends on his opinion.

"Huaiying has heard rumors in the market that General Sapphire has always been extremely powerful, and that he can be a man who can control everyone on the battlefield. However, General Sapphire is too quick-tempered. He uses troops too aggressively and is not calm enough. , and this way of using troops is too extreme, if you encounter an opponent who is good at tactics, I am afraid it will be difficult to win."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "What you said is indeed good, but there is another point you overlooked."

"I also ask Grandpa Huang to enlighten me."

"Lan Yu is indeed a bit reckless, but what I value most is her fierceness. There are many other generals in the court, but they are all Confucian generals marching. They rely on Sun Tzu's art of war and how to arrange troops. Only then can we win, but marching and fighting is not a game of tricks, not everyone will take out the set in the book of war, isn't that equivalent to seeing whose art of war is good?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Indeed, if many things are too routine, they will often develop some specific habits. The same is true for the formation of troops on the battlefield. Once someone sees through the rules, it will be a fatal weakness in the eyes of the other party.On the contrary, those who seem to be rampant and do not pay attention to the way of doing things can often achieve unexpected and unpredictable effects.

"Grandpa Huang said so, because he wants to send General Sapphire to go out?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "In my heart, I am indeed more inclined to send Lan Yu to the expedition, but as the king of a country, I naturally have to think carefully."

"Huaiying also thinks that General Lan Yu is a more suitable candidate." Zhu Xiongying stated his position.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without answering.

After sending Zhu Xiongying back to the mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace.

Inside the East Palace.

Concubine Lu looked at the little eunuch who came back.

"Have you found out where the emperor has gone?"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground: "Go back to your mother, I saw the emperor leaving the palace."

"Out of the palace? Where did you go?"

"The little one only saw the emperor taking a child to the imperial mausoleum."

Zhu Yunwen stood up angrily: "The imperial tomb? Could it be that bastard from the Xu family again? Grandpa Huang actually took him to the imperial tomb, why! What is his identity? What qualifications does he have to go to the imperial tomb? "

Concubine Lu signaled her son to be safe and calm: "Okay, you go down first."

"Mother and concubine, what happened to the imperial grandfather? Why do you like that wild child so much? You actually took that child to the imperial tomb? What can you do by taking him to the imperial tomb? He must have gone to pay homage to his father, but that wild child What qualifications do you have to worship your father?"
