Chapter 513 Quarrel with the Emperor

Li Jie was originally responsible for Zhu Biao's funeral, so choosing the position of the imperial tomb was his duty. It was only before that Li Jie was busy arresting Zhu Yunwen, so the matter was pushed to Zhu Yunyu's side. Now that he has time, these things must be handed over to Li Jie.

So Li Jie did not refuse. After getting the alternative list of the imperial tombs, he did not make a decision immediately, but instead said that he would check it out in person.

In fact, Li Jie knew the location of the Ming Dynasty's Thirteen Tombs, and the best location was the Changling Mausoleum where Zhu Di was buried in history. This Changling Mausoleum is located in Tianshou Mountain, but Tianshou Mountain was later changed. Before the construction of the imperial tombs, Tianshou Mountain was actually called Huangtu Mountain. Because of its excellent Feng Shui and it is very suitable for the imperial tomb, it was renamed Tianshou Mountain.

On this list, Loess Mountain is listed above, so Li Jie had long believed that the imperial tomb could be built here, but considering Zhu Yunyu's mood, if he did not even look at it, it would seem a bit too hasty, so some superficial skills still need to be done.

So in the next two days, Li Jie walked through all the alternative locations of several imperial tombs, and then determined the Huangtu Mountain as the construction location of the imperial tombs, and wrote a letter to request that the Huangtu Mountain be renamed Tianshou Mountain. Zhu Yunqiu naturally agreed with a big stroke, so a large number of civilians and troops entered Tianshou Mountain and began to build Zhu Biao's imperial tombs.

Of course, the imperial tombs cannot be built in a short time. Some emperors even started to build imperial tombs for themselves since they ascended the throne, such as Lao Zhu’s Xiao Tomb in Nanjing.

Zhu Biao has passed away for almost a month and has just selected the address of the imperial tomb. Even if a large number of civilians and military personnel have been mobilized to process and add points, it will definitely not be able to repair it in a few months.

However, this is not difficult for Li Jie and the officials of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the emperors of the Song Dynasty only built imperial tombs after their death, so this kind of thing is considered a precedent. The construction of imperial tombs after their death does not require completion in a short period of time, but only the main tomb room needs to be completed. As for the remaining buildings, they can be repaired slowly.

On the surface, Li Jie was either busy building the imperial tomb or dealing with matters related to Zhu Biao's funeral during this period, while Zhu Yun'e was entangled by the huge and complicated government affairs. For this reason, he had to strengthen the power in the hands of several major officials again so that they could assist themselves in handling government affairs. This was actually the prototype of the cabinet.

However, in the secret, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi secretly summoned Fu Youde and began to arrange the use of troops on the grassland. Fu Youde was also very excited about this. He thought that after Lan Yu made the contribution to support him, he might not have any chance, but he did not expect that His Majesty would hand over this important task to him.

So Fu Youde quickly formulated a combat plan for Canyuan. He had gone deep into the grassland to fight and was very familiar with the terrain and climate of the grassland. Zhu Yunyu and Li Jie also told him the purpose of the battle, so the plan he formulated was also steady and did not make any progress, which also made Zhu Yunyu very satisfied.

Therefore, after the plan to send troops was decided, Fu Youde immediately rushed to Taiyuan with his appointment to prepare for war. There were only a few months left before autumn, and then it was the best time to send troops.

Of course, it will definitely be very difficult to keep such a large military operation confidential. Although Zhu Yunyu has blocked the news, some food, grass and weapons mobilizations can not be hidden from some people who are interested. Of course, these people are generally high-ranking officials in the court, and they dare not talk to the outside world. However, the atmosphere inside and outside the court has changed. Many people are also discussing in private where the court should use troops?

That afternoon, Li Jie came back from the imperial tomb. The progress of the imperial tomb is very fast now, but he was worried about the quality problems during construction, so he went to the imperial tomb to supervise from time to time to prevent the imperial tomb from being repaired, but if there were problems, he would be to blame.

According to his previous habits, Li Jie also planned to meet Zhu Yunyu and report to him about the construction progress of the imperial tomb, and then see if there is anything he needs to help with. After all, Zhu Yunyu was a bit troublesome to deal with government pragmatism alone, even if he formed a junior cabinet.

However, just as Li Jie came to the door of the warm-up pavilion, he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel inside, which shocked him, because he heard that one of the voices was Zhu Yunxiu. Who has the courage to quarrel with the emperor?

Thinking of this, Li Jie was about to step into the warm pavilion, but he didn't expect that the quarrel inside suddenly stopped, and then there was a burst of violent footsteps inside, as if someone was walking out in anger?

Li Jie's heart moved and immediately hid behind the pillar next to him. After all, the situation is unclear now, and he also wanted to know who the person who was quarreling with Zhu Yunyu. As a result, Lan Yu quickly broke out from the inside with anger. He didn't notice Li Jie, so he took big steps away.

Looking at Lan Yu's departure, Li Jie seemed to have guessed something. He shook his head helplessly, then stepped into the warm pavilion. As a result, Zhu Yunqiu was also sitting behind the desk with annoyance. The eunuchs and palace maids around him were also silent and did not even dare to show off.

"You all go down!" Li Jie waved his hand to the eunuchs and palace maids around him and said that what we were going to talk about next was a bit sensitive and would definitely not be convenient for others to hear.

These eunuchs and palace maids were as if they were amnesty when they heard Li Jie's orders, and immediately agreed and left. Zhu Yunxiu also said weakly when he saw Li Jie, "Brother-in-law, you are back. How is the progress of the imperial tomb?"

"The progress is OK, and the underground palace should be built in time, but what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?" Li Jie first answered, and then asked knowingly.

"Isn't it that the Duke of Liang was angry? After he learned that I appointed General Fu to command the troops, he came to the door to say that I was unfair in dealing with things. As a result, he started arguing with me after a few words. It was simply outrageous!" Zhu Yunxiu was even more annoyed at the end, and his face was also red with anger.

Now Zhu Yunxiu is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even Li Jie has changed his name to him, but Lan Yu is not aware of his rank. Because of this battle, where will Zhu Yunxiu give face?

Speaking of which, this is Lan Yu. He is not only the number one person in the army, but also Zhu Yunyu's uncle. He had made contributions to support him before, so Zhu Yunyu would not dare to do anything to him. Otherwise, if it were another person, he would have been pulled out to chop him up long ago.
