The magnificent Great Ming Imperial Palace!
It was majestic and majestic!
Towering into the clouds!
Golden Brilliance!
Carved beams and painted buildings!
Palaces overlapped!
The buildings were continuous!
"Clang!"
At this moment, in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, all the civil and military officials were gathered. They could only hear the loud and resounding bell ring!
Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a winged crown and a golden dragon robe. He held his broad chest high and with his majestic steps, he sat on the highest seat of the Ming Dynasty.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The ministers did not dare to be disrespectful and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Rise."
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to see his sons, but he was interrupted by the urgent military situation, so he hurriedly convened a court meeting to discuss the strategy of Mobei!
"Your Majesty, the imperial army has been defeated!"
"The Yuan people are rampant. Your son would like to recommend the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, to be the General of the Northern Expedition!”
"Lead the army out of the fortress and punish the Yuan soldiers!"
"To show the prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Combining with the Sage's Dao!"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was closest to Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed and cupped his hands.
"I agree!"
The Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, also walked out from the ranks. He held a white jade board in his hand and cupped his hands at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I agree!"
Hu Weiyong also stood up with a white jade board in his hand.
However, since Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong stood up, the situation had changed.
Almost all the ministers of Great Ming agreed!
It could be said that a single call would lead to a hundred responses!
Dissatisfaction flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but he hid it well!
Only Xu Da.
He still maintained his posture and did not move recklessly!
"This is courting death."
At the entrance of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Zhu Rong was wearing a bright silver chainmail armor. The corners of his mouth curled up coldly. Zhu Yuanzhang was most afraid of the ministers forming a clique. Even at this moment, when the Crown Prince opened his mouth, he should not have called for such a response. After all, the Emperor had yet to speak, and the ministers had become so arbitrary. What would the Emperor do?
What if Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling?
Wouldn't it arouse the anger of the ministers?
One wrong step.
That was to take every wrong step.
It seemed like this was the beginning of the court session!
That was why Zhu Yuanzhang's conviction to massacre meritorious officials was strengthened!
However, regarding this matter.
Zhu Xiong had no objections!
Even if they were once meritorious officials!
Now, they were about to become worms that ate the country!
He really deserved to die!
"Xu Da."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking under his deep eyes. He only called out softly.
"Your subject is here!"
At this moment, Xu Da finally did not dare to pretend to be deaf and mute anymore. He hurriedly walked out and said!
"Are you willing to lead the army?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da. He wanted to know what Xu Da was thinking.
"Your Majesty."
"With my old age, I'm afraid that I won't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of conquering Peking University!”
"This subject is willing to recommend His Highness King Zhu Xi to be the general of the Northern Expedition to the Northern Desert!”
Xu Da, on the other hand, was using his health as an excuse to recommend King Qi Zhu He. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the battlefield, but the current situation didn't allow him to take control of the army!
Because Xu Da was a noble of Huaixi!
Duke of Wei!
He was even the Right Prime Minister!
It had already reached the point where it could not be sealed!
And one more step!
It was the title of King!
This topic!
No matter which dynasty it was, it was a taboo!
An official with a foreign surname was conferred the title of king!
It was Feng Wufeng's final helplessness!
And when it really came to that step!
The birds were gone, the good bow was hidden, the cunning rabbit died, and the running dog was cooked!
Therefore…
Why not kick this ball to King Qi Zhu Xiong!
Except for Crown Prince Zhu Biao!
Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite son!
And His Highness Zhu Rong, who was granted the title of king upon founding the country!
"I object!"
"Although His Highness King Qi has wiped out the rebels and recovered Shandong and other places!”
"However, he is still young, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take on the heavy responsibility of sweeping the north!”
"Moreover, the enemy this time is Northern Yuan's last fierce general, Kuokuo Timur. He is an opponent that even General Blue Jade can't do anything about!”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider and make a careful decision!”
Li Shan Chang took another step forward and cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shan Chang seemed to be a neutral faction!
In fact, he was more inclined towards Crown Prince Zhu Biao!
One was for the foundation of the Great Ming Empire!
Secondly, it was for the fight for the crown prince!
Zhu Rong led the army to the north of the desert. He could not win or lose!
Therefore…
It was better to leave Zhu Rong in the capital!
This way, it would not cause a fight for the crown prince of Ming Dynasty!
Otherwise…
King Qi Zhu Rong's ambitions were growing, and he might even be trying to get the Crown Prince's position!
At that time!
Everything would be reshuffled again!
"I agree!"
"We agree!"
Hu Weiyong and the other officials stood up and cupped their hands at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"This group of old things is really sinister.”
"If I didn't come from the future, I really wouldn't be able to defeat you!”
Zhu Rong, who was still standing outside the palace, sneered in his heart. Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand the scheming of the officials in the palace, so how could he not?
Xu Da went to war!
There were two great benefits!
With Xu Da's many years of experience in the battlefield, if he were to go to the north of the desert and face his old rival, Kuokuo Timur, he would have at least an 80% chance of winning, and he would be able to ensure that the might of the Great Ming Dynasty would not be damaged!
But it was a pity!
Xu Da did not obtain a major victory in this expedition to the Mobei Grassland. It was also possible that he was trying to protect himself. In the battle of Lingbei, the Ming army had suffered more than ten thousand casualties. However, Xu Da was still calm in the face of changes. He shrank his battle line and held his camp, thus avoiding a defeat!
However, he was still a famous general of his generation, and Timur was powerless to turn the tide!
Therefore, the Battle of Mobei could be considered to have gained the upper hand!
They had obtained an impressive victory!
Secondly, Li Shan Zhang wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Da!
After all.
Xu Da already had nothing to seal!
At this moment, he let Xu Da lead the army to go out. It could be seen how vicious his heart was!
It had already reached the point where he did not hide it at all!
Moreover!
If it wasn't for the fact that the war was going on and the generals were fighting outside!
Today, in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute!
It would definitely be another battle between the two factions!
After all.
The civil officials were led by Crown Prince Zhu Biao!
The generals were led by King Qi Zhu Xi!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this!
However, Old Zhu knew his two sons very well!
They didn't care about this so-called factional struggle at all!
This was also a method of checks and balance!
There was only profit!
That was the foundation of maintaining balance!
"Retreat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind also reacted. Then, he looked coldly at the ministers and left the Hall of Heaven Tribute with a flick of his sleeve. They were all thinking about evil ideas. He would make a decision during tomorrow's morning court session!
"Father."
"We can let Second Brother lead the army and let Uncle Xu assist from the side. We will definitely be able to break through the Northern Desert Plains and capture Wang Baobao alive!”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in confusion,""Why doesn't Father agree?"
"You're still young."
"There are some things you don't understand!"
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head and then strode towards the Empress's bedroom. It seemed to make sense. He also wanted to do so, but he had to think about it carefully!
"Uncle Xu."
"Little Huo Zi has been waiting for you for a long time."
At the entrance of the Great Bright Imperial City, Zhu Rong was still wearing that bright silver chainmail armor. He was riding on a tall snow-white horse. He looked at Xu Da who was walking out of the Imperial City and said with a smile,"Uncle Xu's clothes look mighty without armor!”
"Little Erzi, you should be at the Hall of Heaven's Tribute today, right?”
Xu Da was different when he was outside of the Imperial City and when he was in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's sworn brother was naturally the uncle of these princes. Therefore, he had the right to call Zhu Rong a little boy!
