Chapter 356 – Jet Report to the Palace
The four words that the Great King was dead suddenly silenced everyone in this royal palace.
Deadly silence.
But the King of Siam is clearly not dead.
At this moment, the King of Siam was bleeding from his abdomen, so he desperately covered his abdomen and just looked incredulously at one of the individuals in front of him.
He opened his mouth and blood spilled from his mouth.
But at this time, no one cares about him.
The expressions of these people, who had honored him as a god, were cold at the moment.
Then another person scurried out and viciously smashed a golden melon towards this King of Siam’s head.
Dang ……
Blood mist filled the air and yellow and white things splattered.
The person holding the golden gourd was a waiter, and at that moment, he wiped the blood from his face, his face expressionless.
That King of Siam just let out a muffled grunt, and then completely broke his breath.
…………
In the Specialty Thousand House.
Iwangju was pacing back and forth.
He’s used to sealing himself in.
This time, Zhang Anshi sought it out again.
“Why is there still no movement? It’s been so long, do you know what people think of me?”
Zhang Anshi looked annoyed.
“It should be soon.”
Compared to Zhang Anshi, Zhu was very calm and said, “If it really doesn’t work, there is still a backhand.”
“What do you mean it should be soon?” Zhang Anshi stared closely at Judo.
Zhu then said, “I sent a big bribe to the minister of Siam. ”
“On top of that, I had the high priests of the Crouching Buddha Temple killed.”
“Our men who are hiding in Siam will also start setting fires and creating chaos at the same time.”
“And the Khmers, I promised the Khmers, as long as they do it, not only give them enough silver, and even if they fail, the chiefs of those tribes that are in rebellion can be received in Daming, and arrange a good back road for them,”
Zhang Anshi frowned, “Is this enough?”
“If these are not enough, there are still ways, we can also …… find a way to sneak a large shipment of gunpowder to go, and create chaos at all times. Can also have people put out more rumors, specifically targeting that Siam’s main war person, and even …… can buy their attendants …… In short, there are all the available ways, that Siam king has no chance of winning.”
Zhu confidently continued, “As long as we distinguish the Siamese soldiers, peasants, businessmen, and the military and civilians from the King of Siam and take different measures, then civil unrest in Siam will only be a matter of time.”
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but say, “This hand …… is interesting …… but ……”
Chu looked up, “But what?”
Zhang Anshi smiled, but shook his head.
Zhu felt that there was something in Zhang Anshi’s words, but he couldn’t get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Anshi said, “Having said that, if I don’t hear anything again, I won’t be able to put my face on the line.”
Zhu thought for a moment and said, “Please don’t worry, if this one doesn’t work out, I’ve also arranged for a few more routes, this Siamese country is like a door, even if it’s sturdy, as long as we keep pounding on it with our chariots, sooner or later we’ll be able to break it open.”
Zhang Anshi shook his head, and he saw the bright light that seemed to be released in Zhu’s eyes.
This guy …… seems to have a natural sensitivity to snooping and screwing up.
Zhang Anshi then couldn’t help but think that if Emperor Taizu knew that he had such a son, I don’t know whether he should cry or laugh.
“Dudu, His Majesty has an invitation.”
Just at this moment, but a lieutenant came hurriedly and said.
Zhang Anshi did not dare to slow down, waved his hand with Zhu, and immediately raised his steps to leave, rushing to the palace to have an audience.
In the literature building.
In the twinkling of an eye this eleventh year of Yongle is approaching.
This time of the year can be described as freezing cold, Zhu Di is now snuggled up on the soft cushion, his body is a little uncomfortable.
Wen Yuan Pavilion university professors and ministers of various ministries, at this time, are here to hold their breath.
Zhu Di saw a sangha, this sangha, about Siam.
Zhu Di frowned, looking displeased.
Seeing Zhang Anshi come, Zhu Di only raised his head, “Come on man, read to Zhang Qing to listen.”
Yizhuoha heard, then picked up the sangha, read: “I Annan deputy governor Liu Xian said.”
Originally, the deputy governor of Annam was Yang Shiqi, but now, Yang Shiqi went to Xinzhou as governor, and this Liu Xian succeeded him.
“Great Ming to Siam, to abandon the former suspicion, so sent the chicken temple monks into Siam to repair, the original intention is to make the king of Siam know the kindness of Great Ming, repentance, since then bowed down to submit, but the king of Siam is not only not so, and even dared to …… ”
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, this matter, I already know.”
Zhu Di said: “I want to go on a personal expedition, the Secretary said no. But why did the Jinyiwei secretly arrange for monks to go to that Siam to negotiate peace? But why is the brocade guards in the secret arrangement of monks to that Siam to negotiate peace? Negotiation and just, the results were Siamese refused to enter the country, so that I Ming shame, I …… learned of this matter, is really like a fish in the throat, I am the son of heaven, face what exist? This is Zhu that kid’s idea, right?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty ……”
Zhu Di shook his head: ”You don’t always say good things for him, he lost his father at a young age, well, I am his elder brother and raised him. He feels that the palace is not good, that’s good, in order to sharpen him, then let him go to the government school academy. He does not want to be a vassal, I also rely on him, let him into the Jin Yiwei. He wants to do great things, both Zhang Qing elected, I also agreed. In any case, he is always my youngest brother, as a human brother, tolerate one or two, there is no excuse. But unauthorized peace, and also let the king of siam so humiliated, this …… hey ……”
Zhu Di’s expression at this time was quite a bit of hatred.
So Zhang Anshi busily said, “This is the scheme of His Highness the Yi King.”
“He has a bird scheme.” Zhu said in annoyance.
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhu Di waved his hand, “Now the Annan side, very dissatisfied, up to say …… now delayed for so long, might as well continue to advance ……”
Zhang Anshi is to understand Zhu Gaoxu, the Han King His Highness, afraid of Annan, has been anxious as a hot pot of ants. Can’t wait to continue to raise troops and kill into Siam.
It was also the fact that the Jinyiwei took over that made him have to endure it.
But his patience is limited, so ostensibly it is the Lieutenant-Governor’s appeal, only that this is what the entire Governor’s Office means.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu is not a fool, he will not be stupid enough to raise their own troops to go on it, this Siamese king is not a small role, so, Zhu Gaoxu this time, I am afraid to hope that His Majesty’s decree, and then all the overseas vassal kings, together with a copy of the guy on it.
What’s more, now that King Shen’s leg injury had healed considerably, if the progress did not go well, King Shen could still break his back.
Just see Zhu Di then said: “I intended to want to march in person, but the district of Siam, really should not make a big fuss. Therefore, I intend to order all the kings to join forces to enter the army, Zhao Wang, Zhou Wang, Shen Wang, Tang Wang, Ning Wang have submitted a letter, sharpening their swords, I intend to give them a chance, I side, to provide them with some military funds, Qixia there, supply some more firearms, you see how?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, the kings in the overseas towns, with not many people, they both have to suppress the surrounding natives, where there is still room to spare, draw a large number of troops and horses to go far away to Siam, I would like to think, also thought that the jinyiwei this side of the …… more stable.”
If Zhu Di thought about it, he said, “Jin Qing is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, shouldn’t he say something?”
Jin Zhong thought about it, and actually felt that as long as His Majesty didn’t march in person, everything else was fine, that King Yi really wasn’t very reliable, and with the kings marching in, the court side didn’t have to lose anything anyway.
So he said, “Your Majesty is highly insightful, and the Duke of Wei, too, has traditionally been far-sighted; I think that Your Majesty is clear-sighted, and the Duke of Wei’s method has merit.”
Zhu couldn’t help but say, “What exactly does it mean?”
“This ……” Jin Zhong said, “Of course His Majesty is more skillful.”
Zhu Di could not help but say, “I see you do not look like the origin of the word measuring, but like a eunuch.”
Jin Zhong was actually happy and said, “Your Majesty, it is possible for me to measure the characters, and it is also possible for me to serve Your Majesty.”
His words made Zhu Di couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Motherfucker, my ministers, how come there aren’t a few proper ones.”
After saying that, he said, “It’s just, Zhu that kid, I just think about him, I’m a little angry, but no matter what, this is also my brother, confused is confused a little bit, it’s rare to see that Secretary Zhang is still always a good word for him.”
…………
And just at this time, an express newspaper, together with a box, arrived at Qixia at fire speed through the rush delivery store, eight hundred miles expedited.
The rider who had sent the message, whistled past, and straightway struck his horse into the Special Thousand House.
By the time he arrived at the Chitose office hall, the knight almost fell off his horse, but a lieutenant had already held his horse, and someone helped him to dismount.
This one appeared tired to the core and panted, “Expedited, expedited ……”
Immediately afterward, this person was carried into Zhu’s duty room.
Judo: “Is it important military information?”
General military intelligence, although expedited, but only sent to the military intelligence 100 households for screening and sorting.
And this kind of request for a thousand households to open and read directly is often the most important news.
“Please, Chitose.”
A letter was delivered to Joo.
Zhu unwrapped it and looked at it, but there was not much change on his face, but he just said, “Sure enough …… it is this person.”
Zhu then looked at the visitor and said, “Where are the things in the letter?”
The man removed a bundle and offered it.
This package unwrapped, is two boxes, one of the large box, someone unveiled, followed by …… a human head will immediately let Zhu side to face.
Like Zhang Anshi, he was kind-hearted and could not bear to see such a scene.
The other small box was a golden seal.
This seal has a great origin, it was given by Emperor Tai Zu Gao at the time.
It is inscribed with the inscription King of Siam’s Treasure.
The crowd was relieved to see this.
They all said, “Congratulations, Chitose.”
Zhu sighed, “This Siamese King has more than enough bravery, but in other aspects, it is very insufficient, I haven’t used the real killing move yet.”
The people all laughed, and a hundred households said with gusto: “The Great Patriarch is really a discerning eye, and will give this errand to our special thousand households …….”
Zhu, however, laughed and said, “Do you think a Grand Master can’t do something like this?”
“Ah …… this ……”
Throughout the whole thing, the Grand Master, that is, Zhang Anshi, behaved as an amateur, asking questions every time he came to the Thousand Households.
Zhu, however, said, “We are all from the government school academy, and which of the skills that we have performed were not taught by the Great Master? How could the Great Patriarch be unaware of these tactics? You ah …… loss still in the special thousand households in the public work, I see you in the official school academy in the psychology course is in vain.”
At this point, it finally dawned on someone.
The whole thing …… Grand Master knows what means should be taken.
Even before the Grand Master handed over to the Special Thousand Households, he had already known that what techniques should be used, the reason why the Grand Master had always stayed out of the way, but instead entrusted all of this to the Thousand Households.
I am afraid that these means, too poisonous, all are the kind of incitement, the art of stealing the country, this kind of tactics, if the great master personally to do, I am afraid that the image is not very good, do not know the people, but also thought that the great master is Cao Cao it.
But if we let the Thousand Households, that is, His Highness, King Yi, preside over this matter, then there would be no problem.
He is the brother of His Majesty, and he is a member of the Zhu family …… Although the tactics are dirty, who can say anything.
Yi Wang Zhu said, “Immediately bring the things, I want to go to the face of the saint immediately.”
“Here.”
So Yi Wang Zhu flew his horse, and with several lieutenants, hurried toward the noon gate.
Noon gate here, there are forbidden guards to see someone flying horse, are the clothing of jinyiwei, was about to ask questions.
Yi Wang Zhu dismounted, but also ignore him, only carried a package, mouth said: “This my home, you interrogate what?”
This forbidden guard was anxious, never seen such arrogant and domineering, was about to go forward, but was pulled by a eunuch aside.
This eunuch piled on the smiles and said, “Your Highness, King Yi, the slave girl will go and inform.”
“I’m going to see my brother and inform brother what! What has my going home to do with you? Don’t try to confine me with this!”
Iwangju said, ignoring him again, and walked in with a loud voice.
This forbidden guards and eunuchs looked at each other in dismay, but neither of them dared to step forward to stop them.
Inside the cultural building, Zhu Di did not hurry to let the ministers disperse, but casually mentioned to the situation of the prefectures.
Now the whole of Zhili are in the clear acres of land, the chicken and dog jump, the greatest resistance is Suzhou, and even appeared to clear the land of the clerical officials, the countryside was killed by bandits, and this situation has occurred seven or eight times, so that had to send soldiers with the clerical officials to the countryside.
More people gathered in the mountains, actually want to go into the mountains to do bandits, although the official soldiers into the annihilation, but these locals, familiar with the terrain, but also insisted on a lot of days.
It was not until the left governor’s office directly borrowed the model battalion of the right governor’s office, and directly set up artillery bombarded furiously at several locations that might harbor thieves, that it was subdued.
Of course, there were complaints, and even many large families had to move their families to neighboring Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
For these messes, that Shu King Zhu Chun, seems to be unmoved, laughing and cursing by people.
That said, the right governor’s office, on the contrary, seems to be a lot of low-key, after all, people’s land has finished clearing, scolded also scolded, now, Zhang Anshi days borrowing debt, all around are trying to find ways to raise silver.
But after all, …… this silver always did not reach out to the head of the readers, although everyone is laughing, this Zhang Anshi big debt, owes a huge sum of money, sooner or later difficult to sustain.
But there is the king of Shu in front of the top, Zhang Anshi recently, on the contrary, was scolded less.
Of course, for this massive debt, the court rulers and ministers, also heard some wind, we are quite a bit worried about this.
After all, borrowing debt is not a good thing in the first place, and borrowing such a large amount of debt and having to settle such a large amount of interest in the future is no different from being a loser.
The ancients would not have been impressed by any borrower, only …… everyone was in the way and did not point fingers.
As he was speaking, Zhu suddenly changed his face slightly.
The ministers were surprised to see his sudden silence.
However, he saw Zhu Di’s eyebrows move slightly, looked outside with wide eyes, and bellowed, “Bold, who is snooping around here?”
But there was no half-assed movement outside this Man Building.
Zhu Di became furious and then stood up long.
It was at this moment that someone finally came in and said, “Your Majesty, I didn’t snoop, I just happened to be here.”
When Zhu Di saw him barging in, he looked at him with a displeased face, and looked at him angrily, “You fellow, how come you are so unconscious? This is the palace …… what do you think it is, why is no one informed?”
Yiluoha is very anxious at the side, this angered his majesty, his majesty may not punish the unruly Yi Wang, but the subordinate eunuchs are unfavorable, but can not run away.
Yi Wang Zhu, however, said with a straight face, “If I see my brother and sister-in-law, do I need to inform them as well? Sister-in-law clearly said that she wants me to enter the palace every three to five to meet with her, imperial brother ……”
“Enough.” In front of outsiders, Zhu Di didn’t want Yi Wang Zhu to continue to talk about any family matters, so he said in a cold voice: “You go to the inner sanctum, what are you doing here!”
Zhu said, “My brother has come to report ……”
Zhu Di impatiently said, “If there’s anything, preach your sister-in-law first.”
“Imperial sister-in-law can’t make the call on this, she’s a woman’s family and doesn’t care about foreign affairs.” Zhu Dao.
To be honest, Zhu Di’s temper has come up at this time, in exchange for any vassal king, dare to talk to him like this, even if it is a brother, only to find a way to get killed.
On the contrary, Zhu was originally a jerk in his eyes! From the very beginning, Zhu had never expected anything from him, so at this time, he was instead able to accept Zhu’s nature.
Zhu Di then glared at Zhang Anshi with a turn of his eyes, “Is this what you taught him?”
Zhang Anshi, on the contrary, appeared to be very calm, smilingly said, “The official school academy, is only responsible for teaching talent, but is not responsible for teaching his character, Your Majesty, the so-called son does not teach the father to pass, teaching is not strict, the teacher’s inertia, the person’s character and the family of origin ……”
Seeing Zhu Di’s face is getting more and more unattractive, his mouth is almost pursed into a straight line, Zhang Anshi then immediately said, “After all is said and done, it is the sin of my ten thousand deaths, my next time, I will definitely take good care of my discipline.”
Yang Rong and the others, secretly shook their heads, to be honest, with a disposition like King Yi’s, anyone else would have a headache.
At this time, everyone for the feudal king’s impression, in fact, are not bad, even if the jerks such as the king of Han that, people at least is familiar with the military horse, at least can still be outside the kill.
But this His Royal Highness …… is obviously spoiled by the palace bad, such a person is also fortunate not to go to the clan, if really on the clan, I am afraid that the military and people of the feudal land will have bad luck.
Zhu Di then glared at Yi Wang Zhu again and said, “What is the reason for you to come here so hastily?”
Zhu Dao: “My brother is under orders to strategize Siam ……”
Zhu Di’s face twitched, ”You do remember Siam! If not for Secretary Zhang’s guarantee, how can I give you such a big job? It’s been half a year now, and I don’t see you making any moves ……”
“Imperial brother, it’s already done.” Zhu looked up with a bullish look of everyone looking to me as I announce a matter.
When the monarchs and ministers heard this, they all froze for a moment.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Zhu.
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but be surprised as well.
Although he felt quite certain, he didn’t expect it to go so well.
Zhu Di, however, still did not look good and said, “Great success, what great success?”
“Snapped ……”
Zhu reached out with his hand, but threw the bag he was carrying directly to the ground.
The bundle rolled down, and then the two boxes rolled out with it.
That big box was even directly lifted by the fall, and then …… a head was directly displayed in front of everyone.
Zhu was fine with what he saw.
But Hu Guang and the others, even the calm and collected Yang Rong, frowned.
Chu said, “The head of the King of Siam is here.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was shocked and subconsciously said, “How can I confirm that this is the head of the King of Siam.”
Zhu then said, “In the other box, there is the golden seal that Emperor Tai Zu Gao gave him in the beginning. At that time he was still the king’s prince, went on a mission to Daming, the Great Ancestor gave him the seal and ribbon, who would have thought that this kid, after returning to Siam, actually rose up to rebel, saying that there were treacherous ministers beside his father, killed his father, and stole the throne of the king …… This person is quite a martial arts strategist …… familiar with the bow and horse, and is also very tactful ……”
Zhang Anshi said on the sidelines, “Stop it, stop it, talk serious ……”
Zhu Di was shocked in the heart, is listening to the enjoyment of it, this Zhang Anshi does not say don’t say okay, a say, he snapped out of it ……
And then, the horizontal meat on Zhu Di’s face trembled: “Is this person …… still dirty in his mouth, cursing his mother all day long, and beating and scolding the people …… around him at every turn?”
“Royal brother …… is truly a godsend.”
Zhu Di was furious and said, “You beast, I’m going to be righteous today!”
With that, he was about to charge up in a rage.
When the ministers saw this, they came forward and advised bitterly, “Your Majesty, why do you have to be so ……”
Zhu was furious and wanted to say something.
Zhang Anshi said at this moment, “Your Highness King Yi, is this really the head of the King of Siam? It’s not right, this King of Siam is also considered a hero, how could he end up in such a state?”
Zhu has long been accustomed to the imperial brother to him at every turn to scold, see Zhu Di to clean up his, he did not hide, anyway, a beating will be good.
At this time, Zhang Anshi suddenly asked about the fruit has had an effect, Zhu Di also stared at him with a deadpan look, a look that will certainly pack you later, but with a shocked face.
Zhu Dao: “This is easy, don’t see that everyone is afraid of him and fear him, and this person really has a few skills, but in my eyes, it’s nothing but dirt, I can take his head with my backhand.”
Zhu Di glared at him and said, “You come to brag less, whether this person is the king of Siam, is not yet known, I would like to hear you, how to take his head?”
Zhu Dao said, “It’s very simple, but it’s just a matter of teaching him to be rebellious.”
Zhu raised an eyebrow, “A mass rebellion?”
Zhu said with a confident face, “Yeah, analyze the situation of the entire Siamese country, understand the close ministers around the King of Siam, as well as the actual situation of the soldiers, farmers, and businessmen in the country, as well as their military, and even the disposition of the Crown Prince, classify them into different categories, differentiate them, and spy on all the information that is favorable to us, and after that… . employ different means against different people.”
