Chapter 115: Lin Jiang

Zhu Yunwen, who was passionate about the clouds, got drunk on the night of the martial arts competition, which directly caused him to slept until noon on the Lantern Festival the next day.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Shuangxi, who was guarding the dragon couch, hurriedly walked over with a bowl of warm tea.

"When will it be?"

Zhu Yunwen drank it all in one gulp and patted his forehead. He felt dizzy. The wine in Ming Dynasty was not strong and he couldn't stop drinking it, which made him feel a splitting headache now.

"It's the third day of the afternoon."

That's almost twelve o'clock?

Zhu Yunwen was shocked. This was the first time he had slept at this point in recent years.

Why do you drink so much?

Zhu Yunwen found that he seemed to have broken a film and forgot about what happened last night. Zhu Yunwen was most disliked this feeling. Whether in his past or present life, he was used to the control of everything in his heart.

Things like fragments are just something that happened when I was young when I was in college. Drinking alcohol and losing amnesia is a blank area beyond my control. This is a big taboo for a secretary or an emperor.

Because drunkenness often makes you lose your words, and you forget what you say, which will make you passive invisibly.

"What did I say at the banquet yesterday?"

Shuangxi hurriedly went to get a booklet and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

There was no surveillance in ancient times, but the emperor had a few small eunuchs guarding him, responsible for remembering the emperor's daily life. The emperor's words, deeds, likes, dislikes, and whoever he drowns in bed.

"At the moment of Hai, King Jing of Qi toasted and talked about the matter of Tongqu in Shandong.

The emperor replied: "I am relieved to you in Shandong, and I will be content with you."

At the second hour of Hai Zheng, the emperor and the King of Yan said: 'The blood relatives of the clan should be one and one heart, and Shu said so much, so don't let the vassals make mistakes with me.'"

After reading the whole article, Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although he had drunk too much, there was no place to say anything. That was good. You must pay attention in the future and you must not drink so much.

Just as I felt relieved, I suddenly remembered something.

Today is the Spring Festival!

Setting up a banquet for officials, a banquet for elders and a palace, and watching the lanterns after the banquet is a large political show. Giving banquets for officials reflects the intimacy and trust of the emperor and the scholar class. Giving banquets for elders is in line with the ancient teachings of the sages respecting the elderly and reflects the emperor's love for the people. This is also a big event and must not be forgotten.

"The Empress has sent everyone to arrange everything inside and outside the palace."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen getting out of bed in a hurry, Shuangxi guessed in her heart what Zhu Yunwen was worried about, so she quickly put on a thick cloak for Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Majesty is careful to catch a cold. Tonight, the high-ranking officials in the Beijing family will all enter the palace. The Empress has issued an imperial edict to the Shangshen Bureau. The list of banquets and the specifications for banquets have been confirmed. Your Majesty, please do not worry."

When watching the lanterns in Shangyuan, the emperor usually invites ministers and their parents to enter the palace in high halls and give them banquets to elders. During the Taizu period, the Shangyuan Festival will invite elders from all over the country to enter the palace. However, later it was discovered that the journey was exhausted and it was not convenient to come and go. In addition, the weather was cold before and after Shangyuan. If the road was cold and the occasional death was caused, the banquet would become a gate of hell.

The large-scale banquet for elders was renamed to only greet the elders in Beijing.

The elders and ancient sages wrote the Book of Rites to determine their 60th birthday.

But what year was the Book of Rites? It was more than two thousand years since the Ming Dynasty. The life expectancy of people in that era was not on the same level as that of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was considered a long life in the Ming Dynasty at the age of 60, it was not yet as high as the "one hundred households, few elders". In addition, the Ming Dynasty has a large population base, and more than one million people in Nanjing City, they can gather 18,000 elders.

There is no way, the scale can only be controlled, so the crowd of people attending the banquet will be changed to parents' halls for Beijing officials over 60 years old. In this way, there will be only a dozen tables for seniors every year, and a hundred people can be greeted.

"It's a blessing to the queen."

After hearing that Ma Enhui had arranged everything, Zhu Yunwen relaxed and then lay back on the couch again. It was really uncomfortable to hangover. He was afraid that he would die suddenly after a while.

"Do you want to have a meal?"

"I can't eat it, forget it."

Knowing that these trivial matters have been arranged, Zhu Yunwen felt relieved and his mind turned to another place.

"Summon Xu Zengshou into the palace."

Xu Zengshou, Xu Huizu's younger brother, and the second son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Before Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Xu Huizu was the governor of the Central Army Mansion and Xu Zengshou was the governor of the Right Army Mansion. The two brothers almost controlled half of the military power of the Ming Dynasty, which shows the weight of the Xu family in the eyes of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yunwen reorganized the Five Military Mansions, and Xu Zengshou changed the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy, and was regarded as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.

I still can't be idle.

In this era, there were no audio and video screens, no telephone numbers, and many things were explained, but local offices did not do it, and they were not concerned about it. It was really difficult for the emperor to hold it tightly. In addition, Zhu Yunwen always wanted to eat it in one bite and became a fat man. Zhu Yunwen would record many things that had been explained, and he would ask about them almost every few days.

In terms of diligence, Zhu Yunwen is definitely not inferior to Emperor Taizu. He just doesn't like to attend court every day, it's all a matter of vain. It's just right. If you have anything to do, you should handle it quickly. After the explanation is completed, it will basically take two or three hours. The hungry officials on the front chest and the back have no strength to talk nonsense.

Xu Zengshou was also drunk when he entered the palace. It can be seen that he drank a lot last night, but his overall condition was much better than Zhu Yunwen. To be precise, the group of martial arts honors in the Five Military Palace were basically the only one left to drink every day, otherwise there would be no one to do it.

Since Zhu Di entered Nanjing, the emperor and Zhu Di discussed the war. Their presence in the Five Military Palaces was too weak. If it weren't for the nationwide suppression of bandits some time ago, Xu Zengshou would have forgotten that he was still a first-rank military officer in the Ming Dynasty.

"My minister Xu Zengshou, please see my emperor, the saint, Gong'an."

Xu Zengshou entered the warming pavilion and felt amused when he saw Zhu Yunwen leaning on the bed.

It is said that the emperor has the legacy of Taizu, but drinking is far from the same. Playing with Wu Xun? Everyone can drink half of their mouths and drink it for you to drink!

"Do I look funny?"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at him and snorted coldly.

Xu Zengshou was so scared that he quickly looked up and lowered his head and became much more honest.

"Please ask your Majesty to summon me to see the saints and tell me what to do?"

"I drafted a military order with the King of Yan two days ago on the expedition to fight against the Taiwanese bandits. The Five Army Offices have selected no candidates."

Xu Zengshou immediately bowed and replied: "The Marquis of Yongcheng and Xue Ke, the assistant of the General Office of the Eastern Army, led the battle."

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "I know him, the son of Xue Xian, the former Marquis of Yongcheng, isn't it?"

Xue Xian, a powerful general in the Hongdu defense battle, followed Emperor Taizu to conquer Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and later followed Xu Da. Chang Yuchun's Northern Expedition, was a rare famous general who fought in Huishui, Feng and Cavalry.

"It is said that General Hu Zi, Xue Ke, can he have his father's ability? You are the right governor of the Eastern Army Governor's Office. Marquis Hanshan is not in Beijing, and you are the agents of the Eastern Army Governor's Office. Do you know?"

"I took the exam to study, Xue Ke said again, 'Navigation is different from water war. The sea is vast and the blessing ship can be fully displayed. There is no need to rely on military tactics. It is natural that big ships bully small ships, and cannons bully bows and crossbows'."

The largest warship of Minzhe Navy was built by the Fujian Shipyard. It began in the Southern Song Dynasty and was greatly accomplished by Kublai Khan's two expeditions to Japan. "The upper part is as balanced as a balance, and the lower part is as a knife. It is worth it to break through the waves."

One word: big! Two words: spacious!

The lucky ship is a powerful weapon for naval battles. It can accommodate six to ten thousand kilograms of cannons, supplemented by dozens of rocket crossbows. It is simply the original version of the era of giant ships and cannons. Whether it is naval battles or land warfare, it can be regarded as the most powerful naval warship on this era.

With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there were only one hundred lucky ships, and more warships were small warships launched from Longjiang Shipyard. They should not fire a thousand-pound cannon, but mostly giant crossbows and stone throwing.

In the water battle in Poyang Lake, Taizu relied on a small boat to destroy Chen Youliang's large ship. Because the big boat suffered a loss of size, it could not change direction. After being approached, it was burned to pieces. Chen Youliang was also terrified and fled in panic. Zhu Jun, the general of Zhu Wenzheng, was shot to death by Zhu Jun. The army of 600,000 troops were surrendered by more than half. Taizu's soldiers swallowed all of Chen Youliang's main forces and warships without bloodshed.

But the sea is different. Although the blessing ship is big, it leaves the Yangtze River, but it is just a small boat on the vast sea. It can play whatever you want.

"Well, since there is no problem, let Xue Ke lead the campaign."

Zhu Yunwen called out two more names: "Meng Jiong, the second son of Uncle King of Chu, asked him to study with the army. In addition, go to the Yan Palace. The chief manager at Uncle Fourth Palace is a talent."

"What Your Majesty is Ma Sanbao?"

Xu Zengshou drew his face and said, "That's a eunuch. How can he be a eunuch? Eunuch leads the army to fight."

With a word from the eunuch, Xu Zengshou immediately felt that Shuangxi's vision began to become unkind. Even Zhu Yunwen seemed a little unhappy, and he was so scared that he immediately changed his mouth.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's sect, Shuangxi is the emperor's confidant. Even the cabinet even calls him "Eunuch Sun" when he sees him. He calls the eunuch in front of Sun Shuangxi, but it's not that he is not a leniency.

"Don't underestimate him. He has been studying military strategy with his fourth uncle since he was a child. Sometimes, the fourth uncle is busy with the military affairs of the General Staff. In the martial arts hall, the eunuch of the Third Guard will teach military strategy. Let's go, just say that this is what I mean, and let the Fourth Uncle give up and say to Ma Sanbao by the way. When Taiwan recovers this time, I will give him a serious name."

"Yes, I'll leave."
