After taking a long breath, Emperor Hongzhi slowly exhaled it again. After three cycles, he felt a little calmer.

In fact, he just wanted to beat this minor official in the state.

After all, Meng Wenda’s memorials are all in detail, and he naturally has a clear idea of ​​right and wrong. The reason why He Jin was called was just a whim before.

But now, He Jin's treatment of this exaggerated moment made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Hongzhi took a little seriousness and said, "What you said is not bad. Even if coal powder and cement are just strange tricks, they are also beneficial to the country. Especially the Fuyang River, it can be said that it is beneficial to the present and the future."

"It seems that I am indeed a little stingy to reward you as the General Banner of the Jinyiwei just because you offered advice on suppressing bandits. After all the contributions, it is not an exaggeration to reward you as a hundred households of the Jinyiwei."

Listening to the change in Emperor Hongzhi's tone, He Jin didn't know that he had made a mistake? But there was no way, his identity was different, so he could only take the risk to try it out.

Since you have been wrong in the bet, you will admit it! Anyway, I have a backup plan

At that moment, he looked nervous and terrified and said, "Wei, I dare not have such extravagant hope."

"This is not a luxury, it is what you deserve."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled at this moment, but then his expression changed and he shouted coldly, "However, as the emperor, I have to reward merits, and naturally I have to punish me if I have any guilt!"

As he said that, he threw the found Meng Wenda memorial at He Jin's feet and continued, "The thousand households of the Jinyiwei who cleverly colluded with me, extorted and humiliated the royal family, and did not take the laws of the court seriously at all! I heard that you are still an official in the punishment room, so you can say yourself, what crime should you be sentenced!"

"Big, big disrespect"

"What should I do if I do it!"

"Corruption, family raiding"

Then Emperor Hongzhi really laughed and said, "Then I will issue two imperial edicts, one will promote you to the Jinyiwei hundred households, and the other will send you to raid your family and exterminate your family?"

"No, no, no?" He Jin looked silly and said tremblingly, "Can you send a letter to raid the family and destroy the clan first, and then you will get promoted to the Jinyiwei hundred households?"

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it again, and smiled and said, "This little official is really interesting! He also thought of circumventing the family and extermination of the clan first, and then offset the next one. Once the order is reversed, the result will be different!"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and then laughed angry, "That's fine! But after you are confiscated and destroyed your clan, I will send someone to your grave!"

"Father is better than the chess!" Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed again, turned to He Jin and asked, "What else can you do now?"

"Wei, Wei, I can't do anything about it. If you want me to die, I have to die." He Jin immediately shrank his whole body and lay on the ground, looking trembling.

Everyone present thought he was frightened.

However, only He Jin knew that he was secretly happy. Emperor Hongzhi was indeed a good man as recorded in history books. He was so scary that the baby was so scared.

Just kidding, if you really want to confiscate your family and destroy your clan, would the emperor tell you such a lot of nonsense?

What He Jin was most worried about before coming was that after arriving in the capital, Emperor Hongzhi threw himself to Dali Temple without saying a word or the Beizhen Fushi of the Jinyiwei.

If this is the case, he must have come up and cried and handed over his trump card

But now it seems that this emperor is still very broad-minded. He should just think about comparing his merits and demerits, so that he can get the title of the General Banner of the Jinyiwei, and then thankfully continue to contribute to the Ming Dynasty court.

Sure enough, although Emperor Hongzhi was still angry, his words afterwards became much lighter. "You are an official who is ignorant and acts freely, and you are simply unaware of the world! However, you are also smart and resourceful, and you can be considered useful in the future."

The words have changed, and the next thing is to encourage you.

If you continue like this, and if you have some sweet dates and replace them with any natives of this era, you will definitely not be able to stand it. You vow to work hard for the Zhu family.

But at this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the warm pavilion. Qiu Juqian stepped forward and shouted sternly, "Who dares not come here without a summon!"

"My minister, the Minister of Tongzheng, has a press conference, and the military situation is of great importance, and you need to see you immediately."

Upon hearing that it was military information, Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed, and he didn't care about using He Jin as a teaching material for his son. He immediately summoned him, "Let him in quickly!"

Hanlin hurried in with a serious face, bowed to the ground without hesitation, and raised a memorial with his hands high, "Report to Your Majesty, the Right Censor Shi Lin sent him a request for help and urgently."

"Seeking for help?" Emperor Hongzhi was immediately attracted by this urgent comment. After seeing it at a glance, he couldn't help but slapped the table and said, "The little prince of Tatar, bullying me from the Ming Dynasty too much!"

Ma Yan couldn't help but look like earth. He explained to Zhu Houzhao, who was unknown, and to the three cabinet ministers, "The memorial said that the little prince of Tatar, Huosie, and the troops of various troops of the Huosie tribes disturbed the border in large numbers. From the Red Salt Pond and Huama Pond, they crossed thousands of miles. They were killed and looted, and Yansui and Ningxia all warned. The border could not be enemies, so please urgently ask the court to send troops to resist!"

"Father!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth. "My son is willing to lead a large army to take over the army to fight on behalf of his father. He will kill the head of the little Tatar prince and offer it to his father to relieve the border troubles of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Nothing!" Emperor Hongzhi became even more angry, his face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly. "You are the crown prince, the son of the daughter of Jie Chuitang. How can I feel reckless to entrust the Ming Dynasty to you!"

"Son, son minister"

Zhu Houzhao hurried forward and patted Emperor Hongzhi on the back. On the one hand, he was worried about Emperor Hongzhi's body, but on the other hand, he was also angry about the battle in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty.

For many years, every time the Ming Dynasty received a war report, the little Tatar prince disturbed the border. The people of the Ming Dynasty suffered greatly, but tens of thousands of soldiers at the border could not be defeated!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty no longer had the mighty and arrogant momentum that swept across the Mobei region?

But no one understands his thoughts, nor can he understand them.

After hearing this, Xie Qian just sighed and said, "Last year, the Huosie Department attacked Datong. When the army rushed to the scene, the bandits had already fled and were useless to consume military pay, food and fodder. The court had to recruit 50,000 civilians and build the outer wall of Datong to resist the bandits. I didn't expect this year!"

Li Dongyang also frowned and couldn't help but say with concern, "This year, the earthquakes and disasters in various places are fierce, cult bandits are causing trouble, and the court has used up no less than one million taels of silver to help and suppress bandits."

"Silver, grain and fodder are the second most serious. The foreign races are so frequently disturbing the border, and clearly bullying me, the Ming Dynasty is no one." Liu Jian also had a deep brow and said with a headache. "In such a border, the Ming Dynasty's prestige has been shaken. In the long run, the disease of scabies may become a confidant!"

Zhu Houzhao listened to the words of the three cabinet ministers, and gradually turned pale and said indignantly, "Three, alien races disturb the border, just send troops to resist quickly! As he said, it seemed like we were helpless? Could it be that only alien races could come over and we could not fight back?"

When Li Dongyang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said Zhu Houzhao's words were obviously too naive. How could a large army attack be done with just a mouth? The selection of soldiers, generals, food, supplies, strategic coordination, and enemy situation spy are not only time, but also huge amounts of money, grain and preparation.

Especially the Mongolian tribes are all cavalry, familiar with the grasslands in the south of the desert, and come and go like the wind. When the imperial army is ready here, there is nowhere to be found

Therefore, based on the lessons of fire screening to harass Datong last year, the court learned from the pain. With the dual pressure of disaster relief and bandit suppression, it also wanted to recruit citizens to build the outer wall of Datong, with the purpose of defending instead of attacking.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Wang changed his harassment breakthrough this year, etc.!

At this time, a hint of surprise flashed through Li Dongyang's eyes. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at He Jin happily.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had slowly woken up from the shock. However, after thinking for a while, he looked at He Jin in disbelief, just like Li Dongyang.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jian and Xie Qian also looked at He Jin with passion. The eyes of these people, like hungry wolves staring at the little white rabbit, all of them were emitting green light.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned at this moment, "You, why are you all looking at him? Could it be that he, a minor official, can he bear millions of soldiers?"

He Jin couldn't help but smile, no longer as he looked as nervous as before, and replied, "Millions of soldiers cannot be topped by, but only 500,000 soldiers should be more than enough."
