The smile on Zhu Yunwen's face disappeared and her expression became serious.
Zhu Di was a real man, a powerful figure who could yield and act!
He was kneeling on his legs, but his heart was unyielding!
"Get up."
Zhu Yunwen raised her hand and said coldly. She looked at Zhu Di and the others and said,"When Emperor Taizu passed away, I only cared about following the edict and neglected the royal family's kinship, causing the King of Yan to be unable to return to the capital in time for the funeral. This is my fault."
"Your Majesty, the kings are not allowed to enter the capital when they come to the country. This has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It is inappropriate to say that you are at fault.”
Fang Xiaoru hurriedly shouted.
Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yunwen had taken the initiative to take the blame and then asked about the obstruction of the funeral. It seemed that he was too mean, so he was forced to change his words and said,"Scholar Fang is right. Although I feel wronged, I don't dare to go against Taizu's will. Since it's what Taizu said, I'll follow it.”
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said,"A mistake is a mistake. How can an emperor who doesn't dare to admit his mistake and face it directly rule the world? I think about it a few times a day and understand one thing. When one does things, small mistakes can be corrected, medium mistakes can be corrected, and major mistakes cannot be forgiven easily…"
When the words "don't let him off easily" fell into Zhu Di's ears, he trembled and looked up, only to see Zhu Yunwen looking at him.
Was this a warning to him to repent and be saved?
"I hope that everyone will reflect on it diligently and open up a channel for discussion. If I'm wrong, you can also write a letter to report it. However, I need one thing. I don't need to hear about it. Words without substance, wanton climbing, this kind of thing, let it end completely.”
Zhu Yunwen's words made the court excited.
Especially the officials who had survived the Hongwu Dynasty, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that the Emperor would no longer use the method of " a word of disagreement " to punish all officials. He would not be implicated because of anyone's malicious intentions.
Zhu Di nodded secretly when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words.
This nephew of his was indeed capable in governing the country.
The focus of the court meeting gradually shifted away from Zhu Di and began to talk about trivial matters. After the court ended, Zhu Di entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Lu.
Great Gong Square, Sun Yat-sen Mansion.
Zhu Di's carriage slowly arrived. Outside the Prince of Zhongshan, Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Xu Yingxu, Governor of the Central Government, and Xu Zengshou, Governor of the Right Government, waited for a long time.
Xu Da was the number one general of the Hongwu Dynasty. In order to win Xu Da over, Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhu Di marry Xu Da's eldest daughter, Xu Yihua.
As Xu Da's son-in-law, the Prince of Yan had to go to the Prince of Zhongshan's Mansion to meet his brother-in-law, Xu Huizu. After all, Xu Huizu was currently the most meritorious person in the court.
Although Zhu Di was very popular in Beiping Prefecture, he was far away from the central government. If he did not build a good relationship with the emperor, if the emperor wanted to make a move on him one day, wouldn't he be finished with the person who announced the news?
Whether it was because of their relationship or for his own future, Zhu Di needed to come.
The carriage stopped and Zhu Di walked out.
Xu Huizu and the others stepped forward and bowed.
Zhu Di quickly stopped him and said,"Brother-in-law, there's no need to be so polite."
Xu Huizu's face was cold and not enthusiastic. He only insisted on bowing and then said,"Your Highness has returned to the capital and is still following etiquette. If the Xu family doesn't bow, wouldn't it be a loss of etiquette?”
Zhu Di's pupils constricted slightly. Xu Huizu's words seemed to praise his manners, but in fact, he was secretly blaming him for not kneeling and bowing for a long time in the morning court.
He did not expect that after not seeing him for a few years, his brother-in-law would not give him any face at all.
It seemed that his heart had already been given to Zhu Yunwen!
Unable to fight for it!
Zhu Di made a judgment in his heart.
"Big Brother, brother-in-law finally made a trip to the capital, and now he's only here to pay a visit to his family. Why must he be so serious? Brother-in-law, please come in."
Xu Zengshou saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and quickly said.
Xu Huizu glared fiercely at his younger brother, his expression slightly dark. Zhu Di didn't care. He smiled and entered the mansion. After paying his respects to the family temple, he went to the main hall.
Zhu Di arranged for people to move the gifts that Xu Yihua had given to the Xu family into the residence. He asked about Xu Yihua's well-being and asked his brothers-in-law to take care of their health on behalf of Xu Yihua.
Zhu Di wanted to ask about the reduction of troops in the capital camp, but he was stopped by Xu Huizu.
In Xu Huizu's opinion, the reduction of troops was a matter between the five military governors and the Ministry of War. The King of Yan only controlled the few guards of the King of Yan. He should not ask what he should not ask.
One must have the awareness to shut up.
Zhu Di had a taste of Xu Huizu's power and stance. He still maintained a warm smile on his face, but his deep eyes were a little colder. Zhu Di did not stay in the Xu family for long. Because of Xu Huizu's cold attitude, Zhu Di did not even eat and left hastily.
This made Xu Zengshou somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Huizu.
After Zhu Di left, Xu Zengshou returned to his room and asked Xu Huizu angrily,""Big brother, brother-in-law is family. Can't you entertain him properly?”
Xu Huizu looked at Xu Zengshou coldly and said,""Remember, you can't get too close to the King of Yan!”
"Why? Can't even walk around with his family?”
Xu Zengshou asked unhappily.
Xu Huizu shook his head and warned with a stern expression,"It's not that you don't know that he stood at the court meeting today but didn't bow. If it wasn't for His Majesty's pressure, do you think he would bow? If His Majesty hadn't rearranged the defense of Beiping Prefecture, do you think he would have bowed? Remember, his ambition is enough to make the Xu family doomed!”
Xu Zengshou saw that Xu Huizu was getting more and more angry, so he quickly lowered his head and listened to the lecture. Then he said,"Big brother is right. I will listen to big brother's arrangements.”
Xu Huizu knew that Xu Zengshou had always been close to Zhu Di. Seeing that he had listened, he did not say anything more.
The current Xu Huizu no longer had much energy to manage the Xu family, because the new recruit strategy was progressing step by step. This was the first major event for Xu Huizu to gain the recognition of Zhu Yunwen!
As long as the recruit strategy was implemented, Xu Huizu believed that not to mention Zhu Di, even if the Nine Great Sai Kings joined forces, they would not be a match for the Jing Camp!
From ancient times to the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers were only there to earn money and eat imperial food. In other words, they were there to survive.
However, it was different now!
These soldiers would have extremely strong beliefs, and they would have the lofty belief to protect and defend Great Ming.
They were the most powerful soldiers in Zhu Yunwen's hands. They would burn themselves for the future of the empire, even if they had to be turned into bricks!
Sun Tzu's Art of War was like this: " He is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as unmoving as a mountain, as unpredictable as the dark, and as moving as thunder." However, it only emphasized the speed, bravery, loyalty, and unity of the soldiers, but never placed the thoughts of the soldiers on the main point.
Zhu Yunwen added in the thought construction and proposed a batch of never-before-seen and novel training methods for new recruits, which surprised Xu Huizu. He found soldiers to train, and each of them was sweating profusely. It could be seen that although the training content was simple, it was extremely physical.
Not only that, Zhu Yunwen also ordered to improve the food in the capital camp and set up a family division to manage the family affairs of the soldiers.
If a soldier or his family were to fall seriously ill, His Majesty would pay fifty percent of the medical expenses.
If a soldier's family was beaten up by a landlord, or if their land was occupied, or if they got into a lawsuit, don't panic. Go directly to the Family Department of the Beijing camp. The Family Department of the Beijing camp will be in charge of following up.
If the Family Department of the capital camp couldn't handle it, they would report it to the five military governors. If the five military governors can't handle it, they can report it to His Majesty.
In short, soldiers were His Majesty's soldiers, soldiers of Great Ming, and soldiers 'families. They should be basked in glory and glory.
