"Yes, sir! Your son accepts the order!"
Zhu Xiong agreed with a bitter face, wishing he could slap himself.
At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
He shouldn't have acted like this.
but...
Although it was tiring to be the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, it was not without benefits.
As a person who had transmigrated, Zhu Rong knew very well how terrifying the Jinyiwei were. When he was monitoring the civil and military officials, he would definitely be able to find their weaknesses. If he could hold them in his hands, they might be of great use in the future.
He could even train some people to be his spies in the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
In the future, if the throne really fell into the hands of Zhu Yunwen, that little bastard, obtaining it could be a good move.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Xiong suddenly did not reject the Embroidered Uniform Guards commander at all. Instead, he was full of energy and determined to make the Embroidered Uniform Guards bigger and stronger!
......
The next day.
The sun rose and the morning glow bloomed.
Many civil and military officials stood in front of the gate of the Hall of Heaven Tribute, waiting for the morning court session.
Zhu Xi walked over in his battle armor.
" Greetings, Third Prince!"
Wherever he passed by, all the civil and military officials cupped their hands and bowed.
Among all the princes, Zhu He was the only one who held a position in the court. Whether it was the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army or the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, they were all extremely important positions.
Within the royal family.
His status was only below Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
After a while.
Three whipping sounds rang out, and many of the ministers who were whispering and discussing loudly suddenly stopped. They tidied their clothes and wore solemn expressions.
The court meeting was about to begin!
"Creak-"
The heavy door of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute opened, and all the officials looked at Zhu Rong, waiting for him to walk in.
Whether it was his identity as a prince or his official position, he was the number one person in the court. No one dared to walk in front of him.
Zhu Rong naturally understood this logic as well. He directly walked in and stood at the front of the generals.
After Zhu Rong entered the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, the ministers entered one after another according to their official positions. They stood in their own positions, and no one dared to arrogate to them.
In this ancient feudal society with strict hierarchy, these etiquette were very particular.
Everyone stood neatly and solemnly in the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
Soon.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the back hall with a group of palace maids and eunuchs and sat on the dragon chair with an imposing manner.
"Court!"
A eunuch walked forward and said in a sharp voice.
"Long live the Emperor!" Hooray! Long live!"
"All of you, stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze swept across the ministers and stopped on Zhu Rong for a moment. He then said,"Today, let's continue to talk about the marriage alliance between Da Ming and Yuan Ting.”
"I thought about it yesterday. Destroying the Yuan Court is not something that can be done in a day.”
"We plan to use the marriage alliance to help Chahan Timur and ask for a city. We will send 50,000 men to guard it as a spy in the north.”
"Then, with this as the foundation, I began to form an intelligence organization to spy on the enemy's situation and infiltrate the various cities to know myself and the enemy.”
"I've already thought of the name. It'll be called the Imperial Secret Service's Personal Army Commander Division. It'll directly listen to me and be equivalent to my eyes and ears in the north.”
"What do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang told them the method he had discussed with Zhu Rong yesterday and asked for the opinions of the ministers.
"Wonderful!"
"Your Majesty, this idea is really brilliant!”
"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. This move is well versed in the art of war!”
After hearing this, Lee Shan Chang praised him repeatedly.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's trusted advisor and the current Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs of the Ming Empire, Li Shan Chang was naturally very clear about the role of the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the future decisive battle between the Ming Empire and Northern Yuan.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject agrees!"
"It can be said that our Great Ming Empire has no foundation in the north. We are like deaf and blind.”
"If the Embroidered Uniform Guards can develop, we will know the situation in the north and be able to formulate a more accurate strategy for the northern expedition.”
Liu Bowen also stood up to support the proposal. Obviously, he could also see the strategic role of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"We agree!"
After Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen, these two big shots, said this, the rest of the officials also understood the role and significance of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and they all agreed.
When Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the Jinyiwei, he played a trick.
It only explained its role in war, but it did not explain its role in the imperial court.
Otherwise…
The civil and military officials would not agree so readily.
After all.
No one wanted to have a knife hanging over their head all the time!
However…
By the time he found out, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would probably be deeply rooted and unshakable. It would be too late.
Thinking of this.
Zhu Xiong raised his head and glanced at his father. He sighed in his heart. What an old fox!
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally noticed his son's gaze and raised his eyebrows proudly.
It was as if he was saying,"Look, am I powerful?"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Northern Lands belongs to the Yuan Court. This trip to the Northern Lands will definitely be fraught with danger.”
"Their commander must have extraordinary courage, extraordinary wisdom, and sharp vision.”
"I wonder if Your Majesty has anyone in mind?”
Li Shan Chang stood up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Zhu Rong.
Obviously.
In his heart, Zhu Rong was the most suitable candidate, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, Zhu Rong was not an ordinary general. He was the honorable prince of the Ming Empire, the Emperor's favorite son, second to none!
If he suggested that Zhu Rong go, if something happened in Northern Yuan, he would definitely be hated by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his life would be over!
"What candidate?"
"Who else could it be other than Third Bro?”
"He's going to pick up his wife and help his father-in-law. It's perfectly justifiable and reasonable.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang and said unhappily.
How could he not see through Li Shan Chang's thoughts?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Lee Shan Chang quickly bowed and flattered.
"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers and asked.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Who was Zhu Xi?
Great Ming's number one War God, General Wushuang!
Who dared to have any objections?
"Since no one has any objections, then it's decided!”Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said.
"Then, why don't you ask for my opinion?”Zhu Rong raised his hand and said weakly, his face filled with indignation.
He was clearly the one involved, but why didn't anyone ask him?
"What?"
"You still want to disagree?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, his palm on his boots as he glared at Zhu Rong.
"I'm not!"
"I didn't!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, Zhu Rong shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with grief and indignation!
Sigh!
As a son, he simply had no human rights!
QAQ！
