Chapter 5

: The Great Jiuqing

Xu Jingchang swore to the sky that he was absolutely kind and wanted his aunt to plead and not beat him too hard, but judging from Queen Xu's momentum, he probably wanted to mix doubles.

"Xu Yi, my aunt has a good temper, right?" Xu Jingchang murmured.

Old Xu Yi nodded, "It's good. He was carrying a kitchen knife and running around the world. Because the marquis broke her palace flower, Empress Xiaoci Gao heard about it and specially gave her a box."

Xu Jingchang was stunned. It turned out that Empress Xu had done such a fierce thing. Fortunately, Zhu Di was also a ruthless person, otherwise he would not be able to withstand his aunt's terrifying combat power if he found someone to marry him!

"So, I can only leave it to fate. Anyway, the tiger will not eat the poison, so don't beat it to death." Xu Jingchang has lowered the requirements to the minimum.

"Xu Yi, after this incident, the King of Han will not have any ideas about the position of crown prince, right?"

Xu Yiliu thought, "If you don't say anything else, the King of Han should be honest within at least three to five years."

Xu Jingchang breathed a sigh of relief again, "As long as the King of Han does not cause trouble and the Xu family is safe and sound, I have nothing to worry about. By the way, my aunt also said, "I want to get me an errand, what can it be?"

Xu Yi smiled, "Young Master, our family is a nobleman. You are young now and have never led troops. If you ask you to command the army and fight, don't think about it. When the Duke was young, Emperor Taizu asked him to go to Henan, Shaanxi and other places to train troops, and suppress bandits. I guess His Majesty has made similar arrangements, and he will make some contributions and inherit the title. If there are any celebrations in the future, the young master will join in the fun and recharge the number of people. Then he may also take charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and there will be any major projects, such as the three halls that are burned this time, the young master may supervise the work and renovate it."

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun not only recovered Dadu, but also built a defense system in the north and renovated the Grand Canal.

I haven't offended him?

Xu Jingchang was puzzled, but he still respectfully brought Yao Guangxiao in. It was rumored that Yao Guangxiao looked like a sick tiger and looked terrifying. But when Xu Jingchang saw it, he found that the old monk was quite amiable, with a faint smile on his face. If he was a little fatter, he could be a Maitreya Buddha.

Then, should you, the emperor Zhu Di, get out and change it to someone more appropriate?

It was originally the dragon throne that Jingnan seized power and sat on.

The young master is not only mature in his mind, but also knows how to work hard and make progress. The Xu family finally has hope.

If the most critical edict of the throne is repeated over and over again, people will inevitably be in chaos and will lose their power. The price is too high and Zhu Di cannot afford it.

I had no choice but to follow Xu Yi and continue practicing.

Such a character, if you don’t do anything else, you come to find yourself directly, and Xu Jingchang feels something is wrong.

Yao Guangxiao raised his triangular eyes and glanced at Xu Jingchang meaningfully.

This is reasonable. There is a person who is quite special. He is Chen Di, the Minister of Rites. Not only did he kill the nine clans, but he also cut them into pieces of meat.

Xu Jingchang was stunned and suddenly had some bad premonitions.

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, and it seemed as if he was back when he was working hard. I became a noble man, why can't I be happy yet?

"Young Master, Fang Xiaoru is determined to follow Emperor Jianwen, seek benevolence and gain benevolence, and save his life. It is more painful than killing him. Your Majesty is also a beauty for adulthood."

Just this glance shocked Xu Jingchang. It was so bad that the old monk hated him.

This is understandable. After all, it is difficult to retract the imperial edict after issuing it, especially the crucial edict of the throne. If it is announced for a few days, it will be retracted and counted.

There are many different opinions in the capital. Some people say that Chen Di drugged Zhu Di and wanted to poison the new king to death. Some people say that Chen Di carries a sharp knife and wants to assassinate the emperor to avenge Jianwen...

After the king and his ministers met, Zhu Di was deeply moved and allowed Daoyan to restore his secular surname and also gave him the name Guangxiao, which means that he changed from Daoyan to Yao Guangxiao.

Xu Yi was speechless. The young master was ambitious, but not much.

Xu Jingchang was very surprised. This official position was specially set up by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was in charge of memorials from all directions and was responsible for issuing the sacred orders... His main responsibility was to prevent ministers from blinding the emperor.

After listening patiently, Xu Jingchang knew it in his heart... The nobles in the early Ming Dynasty were not decorations, such as commanding troops to fight, training troops to suppress bandits, court meeting ceremony, relief to disaster victims, large-scale projects, repairing rivers and controlling water, and rectifying coastal defense.

Even Tang He rectified the coastal defense in Fujian and Zhejiang. The fortress he built was able to play a role more than a hundred years later when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese pirates.

"The court is in trouble, life and death are in a flash. Why do I think it's good to stay in the mansion? Don't practice archery today." Xu Jingchang said in a vent.

A minister of the Ministry of Rites is not very famous. How can he surpass Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng? What is going on?

"It seems that I still have to learn some military tactics, and I need to have the ability to talk about military affairs on paper." Xu Jingchang murmured, then raised his head and said, "Xu Yi, you have fought a war and have been through life and death. I must have a lot of skills. If you teach me, I will learn from my master now."

Yao Guangxiao suddenly smiled, "What a clever look at it, but killing someone is fulfilled! Young Marquis, why not say it directly. If you hadn't pointed out the Yongle reign, there might be room for maneuver. You killed the person you want to protect. What should you do if you think I should do?"

It was another two days, and Xu Jingchang had not waited for the palace's order, but news came out that Zhu Di's planner, Monk Daoyan, had handled the matter at hand and had already entered Beijing.

Just when Xu Jingchang was full of confidence and wanted to be a qualified nobleman, the court issued an edict and executed Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, Fang Xiaoru and other old ministers in Jianwen, and killed nine clans.

Xu Jingchang was pondering a little when he heard the news. He could feel Zhu Di's overwhelming anger from Chen Di's fate. However, Zhu Di did not issue an order to change the year name.

"Young Master Yao, even if I don't say it, Your Majesty will know sooner or later. They can deceive for a while, but not for a lifetime. And I think... with the wisdom and insight of the young master, how could he think Fang Xiaoru is a pity? He is a corrupt scholar, and he will die. You are too worried."

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he was also slightly moved.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang and suddenly burst into laughter, "Although I am young, it is useful. To be honest, I have told Your Majesty before coming, and I recommend the young marquis to serve as the position of Tongzheng Envoy. The decree will be delivered soon."

Of course, the second-generation nobles are far behind. As for Xu Jingchang, he is already the third generation and is probably a mascot. But Zhu Di is also a militant. Maybe when he conquers the desert, he will take Xu Jingchang with him and serve as a military senator.

Xu Jingchang was shocked. It was okay for others. Yao Guangxiao, a monk, assisted Zhu Di in the Jingnan for success. It was quite legendary in itself, and various legends pushed Yao Guangxiao to the level of a monster.

After all, although Zhu Gaoxu was in a state of conscientious affairs, the initiator was the civil officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.

"Young Master, the queen always counts when she speaks. In a few days, the young master's title will come down and you should do things. You can't let the queen down, right?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said, "Is that right? This wasn't something that someone used to be, and the sky couldn't fall. Now I can't learn, at least my aunt will do something for me and I'll take it down. Do you think so?"

After they sat down, the servants served tea. Yao Guangxiao took a sip and then smiled and said, "Young Marquis, I am sure that before Your Majesty goes south to Yingtian, I instruct Your Majesty to protect Fang Xiaoru's life, but now he is dead."

He also added the title of Prince's Young Master to the monk, and served as Zuo Shanshi, who was in charge of monks in the world.

This shows the horror of these famous generals at the beginning of the country.

In short, you can participate in anything. As long as you have strong abilities, you will not worry about not having any talent. The so-called generals and ministers, governing the army on horseback, and governing the people on horseback. A good general must be a good construction talent.

He was one of the nine great ministers, except for the six ministers and the left censor, he was the general envoy of the government, and his status was even above the Dali Temple Minister.

Xu Yi nodded repeatedly, overjoyed, and quickly looked for military books for Xu Jingchang, prepared horses, bows, arrows, armor... and a martial arts performance venue was flattened in the garden.

"Young Master Yao has made such a great contribution, so it is worthy of being appointed as an official and a higher title. When they finish, it will be my turn." Xu Jingchang muttered silently.

Xu Jingchang frowned. Although he was afraid of Yao Guangxiao, he was also angry in the face of such irrelevant accusations.

"Shaoshi Yao, how many civil officials did Emperor Taizu kill? Is the seeds of scholars gone? What the most in this world is the literati who wants to be an official, kill Fang Xiaoru, and thousands of literati who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty. Your words are clearly false and intimidating, no wonder Your Majesty does not agree. In any case, this crime cannot be added to me, and I hope that Shaoshi Yao will take this back."

Xu Yi smiled, "Young Master, if you want to learn, I am not willing to ask for it. How dare you become a master? It's just that learning martial arts is very hard. In the past, you just couldn't endure hardship and were unwilling to learn it."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much. Once Fang Xiaoru dies, the seeds of scholars in the world will be gone. Shaohou, you have done something wrong!"

"Tongzheng's envoy?"

So he could only settle the accounts on Chen Di, the Minister of Rites.

But who knew that Yao Guangxiao, who had just taken office, did not go to the yamen or his Qingshou Temple, but went directly to the Xu family and came to visit him.

A high-ranking official of this level, let alone Xu Jingchang, a young man, even if he was a serious imperial examination, he would have to last for ten or twenty years.

The most important thing is that he, a nobleman, went to work as a civil servant and became an errand. This is not in line with the rules!

"Sister Yao, you, what do you mean?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled very well, "It's meaningless, it's just that no one will deceive the emperor again."
