The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 70 Tu Jie, did you take the wrong medicine?
"Teacher, in our opinion, today we can show our Crown Prince some power."

"It's obvious that His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely concerned about Qian Yongqin's affairs. In that case, we must prevent him from having time to deal with them!"

Hu Weiyong spoke softly, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, careful not to let anyone overhear his 'treasonous' words.

Li Shanchang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Our Emperor is quite unique! Our Crown Prince is even more so."

"Don't get yourself into trouble!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong chuckled and said, "Teacher, how could I not know that our Crown Prince is ruthless?"

“Outside the Fengtian Hall, where we stand, although Yang Xian’s blood has been washed away, the screams will linger in our ears for three months.”

"The student is distracted by a trivial matter that is insignificant yet causes them great distress!"

Upon hearing this, even Li Shanchang became somewhat interested and looked at Hu Weiyong with a puzzled expression, asking, "What is it?"

Hu Weiyong smiled mysteriously and uttered four words: "Miss Yu'er."

Upon hearing these four words, Li Shanchang's eyes flashed, and then he slowly nodded.

Such an action constitutes tacit consent!
Hu Weiyong was overjoyed, bowed, and then walked quickly to his adopted son Tu Jie and whispered something in his ear.

Tu Jie first looked hesitant and glanced at Hu Weiyong.

"If this matter succeeds, Prime Minister Li will surely regard you as a trusted confidant. Moreover, this matter is for the sake of merchants and the people, and even His Highness the Crown Prince would not dare to defy the world!"

"Go ahead and do it!"

Upon hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Tu Jie nodded emphatically in agreement.

Just then, a sharp announcement rang out: "All officials, enter the hall!"

What important matter do you have to report today?

On the high platform, Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and, as usual, asked a question.

But those eyes did slowly scan the faces of the assembled officials.

After a few days of overseeing the country, he gradually began to get used to the court and to observing everyone.

So-called imperial power tactics cannot be taught, they can only be understood.

"Your Highness, I have important matters to report."

Xu Da stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.

As the Right Chancellor of the Secretariat and the top military official, it was perfectly appropriate for him to be the first to speak and report.

Li Shanchang's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was expressionless.

What Hu Weiyong had just told him had calmed him down considerably.

"Please speak, Duke of Wei."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly.

Xu Da looked intently at His Highness the Crown Prince on the high platform and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, in accordance with Your Highness's decree yesterday, I have already issued military orders to the three northern provinces, ordering the troops in the three provinces to be in high alert and ready for battle."

"Yesterday's urgent military report stated that the Northern Yuan army had launched a sudden attack. Your Highness suspected they might have a long-term plan, hence the warning. After careful consideration, I believe it is entirely justified! Today, I request that a month's worth of provisions for 100,000 troops be transferred to the area surrounding Karakorum. I request Your Highness's permission!"

When Xu Da said this, all the civil and military officials looked on in astonishment and turned to look at Zhu Xiong Ying on the high platform!
Does the Northern Yuan army have a far-sighted strategy?
Could it be that yesterday's urgent military report of victory was a conspiracy by the Northern Yuan?
This matter is alright; it's a military matter, so it's always good to consider things carefully.

only.
This Crown Prince, at such a young age, has already noticed these things!

You must know, this is a military matter. This prince's sense of smell is a bit too sharp! Upon hearing this, the military officers all showed joy.

The mobilization of provisions to Karakorum was nothing special; what pleased them was Zhu Xiong Ying's emphasis on the military!

It should be understood that throughout history, after an emperor conquers the country on horseback, his successors inevitably harbor the ambition of governing the country through civil officials.

In this way, military generals will decline in power.

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is paying so much attention to military affairs, isn't that, in a way, reassuring them?

Zhu Xiong Ying remained expressionless on the high platform, but gave Xu Da a deep look!
Grandpa Xu really put a lot of thought into this!

The fact that the Northern Yuan might have a long-term plan was clearly due to Liu Bowen and Xu Da, yet Xu Da was now taking credit for it, which was a clear way to win back the favor of the military generals.

At the same time, it also gave Zhu Xiong Ying a boost!
He was able to assist the regent to this extent, no wonder his imperial grandfather appreciated him so much!
The most crucial point is that Xu Da's move was truly ingenious!
While seemingly reporting, it was actually a veiled compliment. In this way, he could maintain the image that he hadn't taken the mobilization and storage of grain and fodder into account. In this way, he wouldn't create the illusion that he was "watertight" in military matters, and these generals would naturally feel free to show off in front of him in the future!
This profound consideration even secretly moved Zhu Xiong Ying.

"That's natural, Prime Minister Li. Are there any difficulties?"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly, looked at Li Shan Chang, and asked in a gentle voice.

Li Shanchang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the rations for the 100,000 troops for one month can be easily provided by the surrounding three provinces."

"This is not difficult!"

Li Shanchang naturally dared not neglect military matters.

Those who are civil servants should be aware of their responsibilities.

In ordinary times, we may fight, but when it comes to matters of war, we must offer our full support.

"If that's the case, then let the Secretariat handle this matter!"

Zhu Xiong Ying spoke with a smile, his face full of a carefree expression that said, "With such virtuous ministers and generals as you, the Ming Dynasty has nothing to worry about."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Da spoke loudly and returned to the ranks.

"Your Highness, I have something to report!"

Just then, Tu Jie slowly stepped out of the ranks and spoke in a loud voice.

For the sake of my future, I have no choice but to ask Your Highness, the Crown Prince, to do this!

but
In this matter, I, Tu Jie, am in the right and have the upper hand! No matter how cruel Your Highness the Crown Prince may be, what can you do to me?
"speak."

Zhu Xiong Ying gave Tu Jie a cold glance.

This kid is a notorious traitor in the Ming Dynasty. I haven't even thought about dealing with him yet, and he's already jumped out here.
Could it be that he thinks he's living too long?
When Tu Jie was glanced at by Zhu Xiong Ying, he was initially a little frightened, but then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
He put on the face of a loyal minister, suddenly threw off his clothes, and slowly knelt down:

"Your subject, Tu Jie, has something to advise Your Highness on!"

"In the past, Emperor Wen of Tang accepted advice, which led to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the flourishing of the Zhenguan era!"

"Today is Tu Jie, and I humbly request Your Highness to heed my advice!"

After saying this, Tu Jie slowly kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Xiong Ying.

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were slightly taken aback, and then a strange expression appeared on their faces!
What's going on? Did Tu Jie take the wrong medicine?

this.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, had just given a helping hand to His Highness the Crown Prince, and you, Hu Weiyong, immediately jumped out to try and embarrass His Highness the Crown Prince, is that it?
And when you offer advice, do you really not consider who you're advising and your own capabilities?
