eldest son of Ming dynasty

Zai Yan did a good job in his errand this time. Not only was he quick and powerful, but he also did it completely according to his wishes. This is pretty good.

Zhu Houzhao knew Yang Shen very well, and Yang Shen would definitely find out whatever little thoughts Zai Yan had in this process.

These are actually redundant words. For now, Zai Yan has not done anything extraordinary, and Zhu Houzhao cannot impose the same things as the emperor and his son on him and become suspicious of him.

However, after Zai Yan met him, it was normal to talk about Yao Yulin's various crimes, but it seemed a little difficult to talk about them in the end.

Zhu Houzhao directly named him, "You did a great job this time as Sichuan envoy. In my opinion, the key is not what method you took. It is that you were able to understand what my father was thinking and act accordingly. Second brother, in fact, you As long as you keep adhering to these two points, even if you do something wrong in the future, it won't be a big mistake."

Zai Yan's eyes averted for a moment, "My son understands what dad means."

"Then you should have something to say to me. You have never hidden anything from your father and me since you were a child. It's written all over your face."

Zai Yan was originally sitting, but when she heard the emperor say these words, she gritted her teeth and got up from her seat, lifted her robe and knelt in front of the emperor, "Dad, we are father and son. This is what I want to say in my heart. But It's a sensitive matter, and I'm afraid if I tell it, my father will be unhappy."

Zhu Houzhao was actually happy in his heart, "Just say it directly. Do you remember what I taught you when you were a child?"

"Just do it! Grind like a girl!" Zai Yan said fluently.

That's right.

These sons of his,

The boss looks smart, but in fact he is very smart, so Zhu Houzhao always tells him to use his brain more.

As for the second child, he was extremely introverted when he was a child. He was a dull gourd and couldn't fart even if he was hit with a stick. Moreover, I have never seen him lose his temper.

So Zhu Houzhao told him to just do it!

It seems that I still haven't forgotten it.

"Then damn it, even your father and I, the emperor, are afraid of serious trouble!"

"Yes!"

Zai Yan's handsome little face was very upright, "Dad, if my son remembers it correctly, at the beginning, he didn't know that Yao Yulin's affairs were related to the official bank smuggling case. He only thought that he was deceiving the king and lying."

"Yes." Zhu Houzhao briefly recalled, "At that time, I did not combine Yao Yulin with official silver smuggling."

Zai Yan raised his head, his eyes burning, "But this time my son only found out when he went there. In fact, Jin Yiwei knew about it beforehand."

Zhu Houzhao raised his index finger and paused in the air, "How are you sure?"

"The reason why Xia Yan was framed was because he was involved in the impeachment case of silver smuggling. This news came from Xu Min, the son of Shuangliu County Magistrate. And Xu Min was a local spy of Jin Yiwei. So my son I concluded that Jin Yiwei had known about this matter at least in March and April. My son is just not sure. From my father's side..."

"You don't have to say it anymore." Zhu Houzhao's expression changed. He paused for a moment, then put on a smile and said, "You are right about this matter. It is very sensitive. It should be said to be a big deal. However, your father I am also a little happy. . That means my love for your son is not in vain. Second brother, you have made two contributions on this mission. In this way, you can stop wearing the title of prince and become a prince. "

Zai Yan was overjoyed, but he was used to suppressing his expression, "Thank you for your love, but my father... my eldest brother is still the king of the county. If I were a prince... this would always look bad."

Zhu Houzhao glared at him angrily, "Fart! How many times have I told you that as a man, you should take what you deserve with confidence. You deserve this reward for your merits. What else should you do?!"

"But...but..."

Zai Yan was a little embarrassed.

Don't forget that he is very popular in Sichuan. That's because he is a prince there. Who is he afraid of?

But in front of his father, it was like a mouse meeting a cat and behaved.

The difference is like being shy in front of acquaintances and being shy in front of strangers.

"Stop it! No matter who it is, let him come to me if he has any problem!"

"Dad, it's really hard to tell Big Brother, why don't we just forget it and just reward your son with something else."

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything, just stared at him.

Zai Yan felt like ants crawling all over his body. He couldn't hold on and quickly changed his mind, "Dad, don't be angry. My son is just a thank you. Thank you dad for generously rewarding the prince!"

Zhu Houzhao pretended to be angry and scolded, "Okay, get out of here. Remember from now on, you are a bit promising!"

"Yes, yes. My son is resigning now." Zai Yan was most afraid that his father would speak harshly to him. His heartbeat was already speeding up even before he could even speak.

But when he turned around and walked out, he heard the joking laughter of the emperor and You Zhi behind him. They were laughing and saying, "This guy is so funny every time." '

Because she said it with a smile, showing her love for him.

After hearing this, Zai Yan felt happy inside.

When he left the palace area, he straightened up again, with a calm look on his face. He was the calm and gentle second prince.

Of course,

Zhu Houzhao's place is not calm now.

Speaking of which, the commander of Jinyiwei has been replaced in the fifteenth year of Zhengde, and the person who took over this position is the original deputy commander Han Ziren.

As for Mao Yuwen, after he was granted the title of Nanning Bo, he was sent to the Hetao area and became the second in command.

The current governor of Hetao is Wugong Boma Rong. He is the most amazing and talented young general in the Ming Dynasty after Zhou Shangwen. Of course, he is now in his thirties.

Ma Rong was good at cavalry warfare. After guarding Hetao, he relied on this large barracks and horse farm to turn the original Hetao soldiers into the Ming Dynasty cavalry that frightened various Mongolian tribes. There were also some surrendered Mongolian cavalry in his troops.

At the beginning, Wang Shouren was a Confucian general and he talked about some gentle methods, but Ma Rong didn't care.

The biggest difference between the two men is that Ma Rong brought out some nomadic soldiers.

Nomadism and farming are two types of military culture. The troops of farming civilization cannot fight far. Huo Qubing, who can fight the furthest, belongs to the category of fighting to support war. The remaining grain and grass went first, causing the farming army to faint to the ground.

With two thousand miles of desert, there is no way for food and grass to go first.

Nomads are different. They eat wherever they go. So the Huns, Turks, and Mongols all have their footprints across Asia and Europe.

Ma Rong accepted part of Mongolian culture because he understood Mongolian. The more important reason was the emperor's support.

Therefore, it is said that he has a Hetao army that "fights to support war".

This is a nice thing to say, but a bad way to say it is to rob someone.

This is a matter of military discipline. Without the support of the emperor, he would naturally not be able to do it.

Let’s not talk about the Loop for now.

Zhu Houzhao is now concerned about Jin Yiwei.

He thought for a moment and then ordered: "It is better not to investigate this matter without hiding it from Han Ziren. It is not my wish for the monarch and his ministers to be suspicious. Tell him directly and let's investigate from him, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, on this matter." You watch him do things. You should understand how to grasp the scale, right?"

You Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely ask the Jin Yiwei to give an explanation to Your Majesty."

"For the next many things, I will still rely on the Jin Yiwei. If they are rotten, what's the use? Maybe, they have been too comfortable these years. Maybe, it's not just this one thing."

You Zhi knew this would happen,

Either don’t do it or never do it.

However, it’s time for Jin Yiwei to put things in order.

The emperor walked inside, leaving only a cold sentence, "Let's check it out first, and wait until Jing Yang's matter is over before we officially start. Also, don't reveal how I know about it."

"Yes."

You Zhi had no expression on his face and then left.

Jinyiwei also came to the palace with him, so he had to go there immediately.

The Factory Guards were originally from the same family, and they were all the emperor's right-hand men. However, during the Zhengde Dynasty, the Jinyiwei were more prestigious, while the Dongchang was not very powerful.

So the two sides are actually somewhat competitive, and sometimes the emperor will deliberately see who of them can do things better.

Now the emperor uses him to expose the ugliness of Jin Yiwei, which shows how cruel he is.

Because he will not leave a hand to these people.
