I'm really not the carpenter emperor

In the eyes of the kings Baylor, Nurhachi has always been calm and capable, but at this moment he is like an old man who has gone mad, shouting a word frantically.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gangrene on his back broke out, and he felt pain behind him, and with a scream, he fell off the horse.

"Sweat!"

The crowd and the kings Baylor hurried forward, surrounded by Nurhachi, and drove into the Hetuala old village where half of the city was in ruins.

……

Zhu Youxiao got the news on a refreshing morning a few days later. He was still lingering with Zhang Yan on the couch at that time, and in a blink of an eye he jumped three feet high and crawled out of the bed.

Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, immediately led the eunuchs to the palaces of the ministers to convey the news that Emperor Tianqi would host a court meeting.

Good guy, Man Gui guarded Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi guarded Liaoyang, Zhu Xieyuan rescued Fu Yuwei first, and then fought a big victory in Taizihe!

This is not over yet, Guo Qin and Jiang Rang ambushed the old chieftain in Weining, beheading more than 1000 real Tartar heads!

In the end, Mao Wenlong, with the cooperation of the North Korean Kingdom, made a surprise attack on Hetuala. After a series of defeats, there was overwhelming good news!

It has been five years since Saerhu, and Daming has finally turned around, and he has suffered a serious setback in Liaodong. Congratulations, he is finally able to free up his hands to deal with the scourges.

With this in mind, Zhu Youxiao sat on the big seat of Maoqin Hall.

That's right, although the construction of the three main halls supervised by Wei Zhongxian is nearing completion, it has not yet been completed, and the clanging all day is not a big deal, mainly because the mighty and domineering three main halls of later generations are too ugly to look at now.

The news came one after another, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all beaming, as if it was a New Year's holiday.

"When the heads of the slave soldiers from Liaodong are sent to the capital, I will reward them for their meritorious service in the war, and stack the heads of the slave soldiers in the capital!"

Zhu Youxiao's excitement was beyond words, there was nothing to hide, he was happy with the victory!

Zhang Weixian, Wei Zhongxian, Han Yu and others all arrived, and even Cui Chengxiu who "leaved customs to discuss peace" also came back, standing majestically in the hall, as if nothing happened.

In addition to being happy for the victory, many people were really relieved.

When the good news came, the big stone hanging in the hearts of the officials finally fell to the ground. This is the best result, for Cui Chengxiu, Donglin Party and Zhu Youxiao.

Winners and losers, now no one is going to pursue the matter of leaving the customs without permission, and even the interested officials have stopped talking for a while.

At this time to discuss crimes, isn't it just idle looking for death?

Zhu Youxiao knew the urine nature of Jiannu in history, even if he didn't fight this time, at most a year or so later, the old slave would definitely come to commit the crime.

The agreement is in the hands of Jiannu, and it is no different from a piece of paper. Even if Daming abides by the agreement, Jiannu will not.

Anyway, whoever wins in the future will have the final say on this period of history. It is not easy to defeat Jiannu in the Liaodong field battle. From Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Xieyuan, Xiong Tingbi to the generals, they all need some means.

One year was enough for Jiannu who was not injured to recuperate, but it was not enough for Daming who had dispatched the army from the Nine Frontiers to leave the customs.

Rather than waiting for the other party to fight first, it is better to fight first. Signing an agreement between Ming and Jin is as simple as farting, and tearing it up is even easier.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, it is really inappropriate for Han Yu not to speak up at this time.

He stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time Jiannu broke the agreement and started the war first. If they steal chickens, they will lose money, and they will lose their troops after paying for their wife. They are the ones to blame and perish!"

Zhu Youxiao took a look when he heard the words, why do I feel that this old man is particularly capable of trouble today.

Chapter 394 Wei Zhongxian Admonishes Gao Di

Maoqin Hall, where Sun Chengzong and others lectured on official scriptures in the past, and Zhu Youxiao's reading place, although not as large as the three halls, is also very grand and solemn.

Under Majesty Dan, the smooth gilt brick floor, according to the grade, the cabinet scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and the civil and military officials of the current dynasty exclaimed one after another.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

With Han Yu, the leader of Donglin, and the chief assistant of the cabinet as an example, the rest of the parties and ministers came out one after another, with rumbling voices.

From the very beginning, this peace negotiation was directed and acted by Zhu Youxiao based on his historical disposition to build slaves, and it caused waves among the courtiers at first.

It's just that the matter is over, the great victory is spread to the court, and seeing and hearing from all over the world, the undercurrent in the court seems to have quieted down a lot.

This is indeed a great victory that Ming urgently needs, but in this great victory, there are also many regrettable and angry things.

You can't always be immersed in this victory. You should take this opportunity to recuperate, deal with domestic affairs, reflect on the mistakes that occurred in the great victory, and avoid it happening next time.

After the sound of congratulations from the hall gradually dissipated, Zhu Youxiao stood up, his eyes were piercing, and with scrutiny, he said majesticly:

"The big and small victories in the battle of Liaodong this time were all discussed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials. It is the same as the battle in the Southwest. I will submit a list of meritorious service before tomorrow morning."

"This time, we need to prepare another list of soldiers who fought and fought in the temple, and publish it in the "Beijing News" in two issues, so that the names of heroes and heroes will be passed on to the world."

Han Yu, Zhang Weixian and the others froze, and hurriedly obeyed the order.

After receiving the order, the rest of the ministers were puzzled. Logically speaking, this great victory should be celebrated with a big banquet. Is this the end?

"I know that the ministers are busy with government affairs, and this return to court will end here, so let's go back!"

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he turned and left.

"I will send you off to Your Majesty—!"

A court meeting that started enthusiastically ended in a very dull atmosphere. The officials walked out of the Maoqin Hall without any discussion. Indeed, they had too many things to deal with.

Take the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials as an example. From the governor Zhu Xieyuan to the civil servants and generals who have made meritorious service in Liaodong and border towns, they all need them to check their meritorious deeds one by one.

This time Zhu Youxiao also specifically explained that the generals and soldiers who died in battle should be listed separately for publication in the next issue of the Beijing News after the list of meritorious service is published.

A few more days will not make the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs feel at ease. In fact, on the contrary, the number of soldiers killed in the Ming Dynasty is also much larger than that of Jiannu, tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands.

Business is busy, and for them, the last few days will be sleepless nights again.

This is just one of the tasks. The six ministries and courts of the imperial court all have different and heavy goals this time, and they all need to be completed within a few days.

For example, the household department needs to prepare for upcoming promotions for generals, rewards for soldiers, and payment of compensation.

The Ministry of Industry also needs to calculate the degree of damage to cities and towns in various places during this war, and even the new construction and maintenance of people's livelihood facilities in various places need to make clear statistics and report to the emperor.

All the ministries and courtyards hurriedly got busy after the court meeting. For a while, the inside and outside of the Forbidden City became extremely busy.

Zhu Youxiao also had serious matters to deal with, the most important of which was Yuan Chonghuan's repeated resistance to the edict.

Back at Xinuange, Zhu Youxiao sat down on the couch and drank two glasses of water in succession before he heaved a sigh of relief.

Putting down the cup, Zhu Youxiao glanced sideways and said lightly:

"Since we're here, don't hide it, come in and say something."

Wei Zhongxian stood at the door, as if he was embarrassed to be discovered. Hearing this, he immediately stepped into Xinuang Pavilion cautiously, cupped his hands and said:

"Master, old slave..." Wei Zhongxian groaned for a long while, then suddenly knelt down and said, "This old slave is guilty, please punish him by Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, raised his hand to signal him to get up, and said with a smile:

"What crime can the loyal Wei Zhongxian have? Stand up and speak up."

Wei Zhongxian then stood up and served Zhu Youxiao as before, as if remembering something, he suddenly sighed and said:

"My lord, I promoted someone last year. I thought Shanhaiguan was far away from Liaoshen and there would be no wars, so I made him the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan."

Zhu Youxiao remembered this, his eyes changed slightly, and his face did not move.

Back then Wei Zhongxian sent too many lists at one time, so Zhu Youxiao took a few random ones to take a look, and found no famous people in history, so he didn't pay much attention to it for a while, and planned to check slowly.

Seeing that he came to find him this time, something must have happened to the person he recommended.

Zhu Youxiao didn't respond, but raised his hand to pick up the "Records of Liao Facts in Three Dynasties" that was on the table.

How could Wei Zhongxian's eyesight be comparable to that of ordinary people? As soon as Zhu Youxiao made a move, he quickly made a move, picked up the book and respectfully presented it in front of him.

Zhu Youxiao received the book, turned it over and sighed:

"You old man really understands my thoughts. If you put more effort into selecting candidates, you won't make this mistake."

"Tell me who this time is."

Wei Zhongxian's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that His Majesty already knew that this would not happen.

He was still in doubt, but after all it was his fault, waiting for the emperor to find out would be better than voluntarily admitting it.

"It's Shanhaiguan General Gao Di..."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao heard the name, he immediately understood which "powerful" this was.

In history, Gaodi did climb the big tree of Wei Zhongxian and became the general officer of Shanhaiguan, but this person didn't know anything about military affairs. The Qing army entered the customs and surrendered to the Qing with Wu Sangui.

"Gaudi."

Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart, repeated a sentence, and turned a page with his right hand, hesitating for a while and said: "Go on and tell me what Gao Di did."

Wei Zhongxian could only respectfully say: "I also know that in the battle of Taizihe, the first vanguard, Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, died in battle..."

"Well, this is a rare loyal and good general." Zhu Youxiao commented, and then continued to wait for a reply.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Wang Zongbing's death in battle is different from the fall of Dingliao Zuowei. In this matter, the old slave is also guilty of inaction."

"Gao Di was originally a villain in the market. The old slave thought he had a good temper, so he recommended him to be the general officer of Shanhaiguan. He thought that this kind of person would be a high-ranking official, and he would be obedient and serve his master."

"Unexpectedly, this Gao Di was reserved by Zhu Xieyuan as a reserve soldier. He did nothing during the war and changed his marching route without authorization, so that Wang Zongbing could not wait for reinforcements and died fighting for the country..."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a "click" in Zhu Youxiao's hand, but one of the pages of the first volume of "The Facts of the Three Dynasties and Liao Dynasty" was suddenly torn.

In the quiet Xinuang Pavilion, I heard this sound occasionally, it was like thunder.

"The old slave will die! The old slave will die!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed one after another, claiming to be guilty, and the rest of the courtiers also knelt together, not even daring to make a sound.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the first volume of the book handed in by Wang Zaijin with regret, and was silent for a long time, then turned another page, and said lightly:

"I know, you can handle it yourself."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, the emperor turned the page, does it mean that his head is still on his neck.

After he was overjoyed, Wei Zhongxian hated Gaodi even more in his heart, and since he had obtained the holy will, he could calmly deal with the Shanhaiguan general who was ineffective in fighting and killed the general.

Chapter 395 Three Dynasties and Liao Facts

The matter of Gao Di was just an episode for Zhu Youxiao.

When the news of Wang Wei's death in battle came back, Zhu Youxiao was very sorry, but when he heard that a loyal general died because of a villain's greed for life, it really made him angry.

The villain who killed the general must be brought to justice, which is good for the country and the army, but he can claim to be a general outside the pass, and Yuan Chonghuan, the soldier of Ningyuan who repeatedly resisted and failed to comply, must also be punished.

Presumably Wei Zhongxian also knows how to deal with Gaodi, let's wait and see what happens.

Wei Zhongxian is a villain among villains, but once this villain becomes loyal to someone, he will become extremely embarrassing.

Back then, Wei Chao, the eunuch under Wang An, died miserably in Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. If Zhu Youxiao hadn't expressed his attitude in time, Wang An's fate would have been worse than that of Wei Chao.

This time Gaodi made such a mess, Zhu Youxiao was very pleased that Wei Zhongxian could take the initiative to reveal the truth.

The more mean and ungrateful the attitude that Wei Zhongxian showed in front of Wei Zhongxian this time, the more ruthless Wei Zhongxian would be in dealing with Gaodi.

Zhu Youxiao is looking forward to how the villain will deal with the villain.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao only focused on the book "Records of Facts of the Three Dynasties and Liao Dynasty" sent by Wang Zaijin the day before, but he didn't even read it just now.

Historically, this book was written in the 11th year of Chongzhen.

At the beginning of his succession, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Zaijin about this book in particular, and also explained the principle of seeking truth from facts, what happened and what will happen in the Wanli and Tianqi Dynasties, and what to write about.

In nearly four years, Wang Zaijin completed the first volume of this work, and the newspaper office rushed to send the first printed volume to the Forbidden City.

The book Zhu Youxiao held in his hand when he met Wei Zhongxian is also the only one in existence.

The first volume talks about various events that happened in the Ming Dynasty during the 16 years from the 36th year of Wanli to the 20th year of Wanli, including the three major wars of aiding Korea, Bozhou, and Ningxia, as well as the root cause of the rise of slavery in Liaodong.

In this book, Wang Zaijin outlines the division, history, strategic position, frontier defense, Duoyan, Fuyu, and Taining of Liaodong, and the situation of the establishment of the state by the nine tribes of Haixi and Yehe.

In addition, he also specifically expressed his views on the rise of Jianzhou and when Daming began to gradually decline.

However, in between, the most important content is to describe the Liaodong War in the past 20 years.

According to the year of Jin Dynasty, Wang described the outline of the war and defense, the important tasks of military pay, the cowardice of the soldiers, and the criticism of the bureaucrats.

This book is said to have been banned during the Qianlong reign of later generations. This time Wang Zaijin wrote it, and Zhu Youxiao planned to publish the whole book in the future, but also kept it in the court.

There were so many Confucian works in the court in the past, so there should be a book like this for a change of taste, and for those who are used to being pampered to see the evil consequences of the war and know about the border defense situation in Ming Dynasty!

"Okay, this book will be placed in Xinuang Pavilion from now on. I think it's convenient. When future generations of emperors come here to deal with government affairs, they can always be alert!"
