But Yao Guangxiao has his own thoughts.
"The princess of Jiaxing is the heir of the crown prince, the elder sister of the emperor's grandson, this great Ming country will be handed over to the crown prince in the future..."
Yao Guangxiao went to the end.
I don't dare to say it too bluntly.
Zhu Di understood instantly.
The crown prince is the crown prince, and he will inherit the great line in the future, but the crown prince was born with deformities, his body is fat, and his body is getting worse.
In the battle of Jingnan that year, he just stayed behind and did not go to the battlefield. Instead, he was the second child and made great achievements in battle.
He is also the person who poses the greatest threat to the prince.
A hundred years from now, the crown prince might not be the opponent of the second child.
If a talent like Lu Lin can be recruited under the prince's door, he will definitely become the prince's most powerful arm.
And Lu Lin, as Yibin, the prince's daughter-in-law, is the closest person no matter whether the prince succeeds to the throne or the grandson succeeds. Naturally, the prince and grandson will not treat him badly.
This kills two birds with one stone.
Very good.
Very good.
"The military master's plan is very clever. According to the military master's words, he is recruited as Yibin."
But this matter needs time and cannot be rushed.
Right now, he has to plan carefully and make Tatar pay the price.
He killed one hundred thousand elites of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di must make them taste the blood debt.
……
The news of Qiu Fu's defeat and the annihilation of the Ming army's [-] elite troops spread throughout the streets and alleys of Nanjing overnight.
The officials didn't care about the etiquette and impoliteness, so they changed into court clothes overnight and entered the palace.
Yang Shiqi was the first to bear the brunt.
Seeing Zhu Di, he knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Shout out Your Majesty's sage, save the people from the fire and water.
Immediately afterwards, the officials also kowtowed one after another, shouting long live my emperor.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted. I am ashamed of you."
"The ministers are short-sighted and almost harmed tens of thousands of people in the northern border. The ministers deserve to die."
The more they praised him, the more ugly Zhu Di's face became.
Because it's not just them who are short-sighted, but also Zhu Di himself.
A few days ago, he was very proud of Qiu Fu's annihilation of the Tatar striker and the capture of the striker's general.
Now, the face of this big tomorrow is almost swollen from being beaten.
"Get up, you don't have to kneel to me. I didn't notice this matter. It's a man from County Lu. If you want to kneel, go kneel to him."
what?
Not Your Majesty?
It turned out to be Lu County male?
Is it Lu Xiannan again?
Sitting at home, he was able to predict Qiu Fu's defeat based on just a few words circulating in the market, and he even came up with countermeasures in advance, so as to protect the tens of thousands of people in the northern border from the turmoil of war?
This son should be a god descending from the earth.
The courtiers talked a lot, and they all marveled at Lu Lin's talent.
Zhu Di interrupted them.
"I bear the brunt of the defeat of the Ming army this time. I feel sorry for the [-] Ming army and the people in the north."
"The Ministry of War will sort out the list of the [-] soldiers who went on the expedition within two days, and all soldiers who died in battle will be promoted to a higher level, and pensions will be issued according to the military system to comfort their families."
"Ministry of Rites, get ready for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the altar to sacrifice to the heavens and send one hundred thousand soldiers away."
"I am writing an edict of guilt for me, and pleading guilty to all people."
"Your Majesty, this..."
The official book of the Ministry of Rites hesitated to speak, so it was not in line with the etiquette system.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor who sacrificed to heaven for his soldiers and pleaded guilty to the people.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he dismissed most of the officials, leaving Yang Shiqi and other cabinet ministers to discuss the Northern Expedition to Tatar.
"This time, I'm going to personally conquer, and avenge the death of one hundred thousand soldiers."
"Not only do I want to defeat the Tatars, but I also want to scare him, hurt him, make him pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and make them tear up when they see the Ming army flag."
Just as Yang Shiqi stood up, he knelt back with a "plop".
"Your Majesty, our army has just been defeated and lost [-] elite troops. Although it hasn't hurt the vitality of Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is the king of a country."
"Yang Aiqing, don't worry, I have full confidence in this expedition, and the Tatars will definitely lose."
Zhu Di is very confident.
Yang Shiqi was very unconfident.
Since ancient times, the emperor's personal conquest has been a major event.
Everyone is happy if they win, but if they lose, it will change the dynasty.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on conquering in person, then please give me a death sentence. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, I can't persuade the emperor, and I can't keep the people safe. I deserve to die."
Zhu Di stared at him, his face darkened.
