Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 130 The Second Encounter with Zhu Di

Where was Beiping in the Ming Dynasty and what was it like?

东至滦州390里、南至任丘350里、西至蔚州350里、北至延庆州160里，至金陵城三千440五里。

This is the geographic location of Beiping Mansion in Hongwu Year of Ming Dynasty.

The history of the establishment of Beiping Mansion can be traced back to the period of Dayu, when Yu established Kyushu, Beiping was not called Beiping, but Youling, and geographically belonged to Jizhou.

And the word Beiping was the name given by Zhu Yuanzhang after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Beiping has a long history, but it is not important here. Chen Yunfu is not here for tourism, so naturally he does not want to be distracted by understanding the history of Beiping.

He is the general envoy, so what really deserves his attention in Beiping, or what I have to mention here, can only be the grain tax of the Beiping government last year.

"Ten thousand and eight hundred stones."

A Beiping prefecture governs five prefectures and eighteen counties. In terms of geographical area, it is more than three times larger than Suzhou prefecture, and its food output is less than one-tenth of that of Zhili Suzhou prefecture at the same time.

You know, Beiping in Su Qin's evaluation in Shiji is "Land of Abundance!" '

Now, it is so desolate and poor.

"This is simply a military city, a fortress."

Standing outside Beiping city and watching, Chen Yunfu sighed sincerely.

Although as early as the third year of Hongwu, the imperial court had begun to move people to live in Beiping one after another, and successively established Daxing County School, Tongzhou School, Changping Prefecture School and other large academies such as Taiji Academy, Jianyi Academy, and Wenjing Academy. The building, however, has been dilapidated again and again amidst the sound of golden slaps year after year, and it has not been rebuilt yet.

How can the sound of reading aloud be accommodated in a place where there is chaos and chaos.

The people fled one after another to hide from the soldiers, and they couldn't tolerate them, let alone students.

"I've been living in Jinling all these years, and I almost forgot the world 18 years ago when my father first established the tripod. Now, I dream back to those days."

Zhu Biao stood on the side of the car and sighed faintly.

"When will we be able to pacify the war and chaos, so that the people here will no longer be displaced, but live a good life in a down-to-earth manner."

"It's coming, it's coming soon."

Along the way, there was no smoke, no plowing, and although there were no bones exposed in the wild, there was no rooster crowing in the ears, which was quite heartbreaking.

The two of them sighed, and saw the sand and dirt in front of them, hundreds of galloping horses came, and a big flag was raised in the front, with big swallow characters embroidered on the red bottom.

Yanwang Banner.

Zhu Di is here.

Chen Yunfu narrowed his eyes, and the blurry figures in the distance gradually became clear. The leader was Zhu Di, King of Yan whom Hong Wu had met in 15 years.

After three years of absence, Zhu Laosi's body shape has not changed much, except that his skin has darkened a lot, and his energy is much more vigorous.

"Sorry~"

After a long hiss, the war horse halted. Zhu Di on the horse turned over and came straight towards the chariot.

"The younger brother sees His Highness the Crown Prince, and asks His Highness the golden body and peace."

"Stinky boy!"

Zhu Biao clasped his hands together, and cursed with a smile: "This is still the same with big brother? It's almost free, it's free."

Helping Zhu Di up, Zhu Biao looked him up and down a few times, then stretched out his hand and patted the former's big arm a few times.

"Stronger and more energetic."

"His Royal Highness."

"Call Big Brother!"

"Brother!" Zhu Di called out affectionately, holding Zhu Biao's forearms as well, and said with a choked voice, "Brother, I miss you!"

This vernacular sentence is more lethal to Zhu Biao than eight hundred heads, and instantly makes Zhu Biao's eyes wet.

"Fourth, you have been wronged for the past three years."

Most of those younger brothers and sisters lived in the south, but Zhu Di was only in his twenties, but he had already been in this bitter and cold place in Beiping for six years.

In addition to the 15th year of Hongwu, Empress Ma passed away and returned to Beijing for a hundred days, and it has been nearly three years since she returned to Beiping.

"For my father, for my country, and for my elder brother, I will not be wronged!"

Speaking of not being wronged, the tears in Zhu Di's eyes really flowed, and they couldn't stop falling straight down.

Chen Yunfu who was standing behind Zhu Biao raised his brows immediately.

The fourth child is really smart, this move, regardless of whether it is true or false, is enough to eliminate all Zhu Biao's anger.

Did the fourth brother think of this move, or was it his elder brother Yao Guangxiao who hadn't seen him for three years?

As Chen Yunfu said with emotion, Zhu Biao didn't think about anything at the moment, Zhu Di cried, and he also cried, and the two brothers finally stopped their tears after expressing their missing.

Holding Zhu Di's arm, Zhu Biao turned sideways to reveal Chen Yunfu behind him, and said to Zhu Di, "Come on, fourth brother, let me introduce you."

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Jin An, after three years of separation, King Yan remains as handsome as ever."

Without waiting for Zhu Biao's introduction, Chen Yunfu took the initiative to say hello to Zhu Di, which made Zhu Biao startled.

"Yunfu, have you two met before?"

"I've seen it." Chen Yunfu smiled at Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know something. At that time, the official had just returned from the Tianjie Temple, and his brother Dao Yan, who was teaching Buddhism, brought the official to see the King of Yan. "

Zhu Di's face froze suddenly, and Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Di thoughtfully.

How did Zhu Di know a monk who was far away in Jinling?

"Haha, the bachelor's degree is ridiculous." Zhu Di quickly stabilized his mind, and said with a hearty smile: "I don't have any style, but I am a bachelor's degree, but he is much more handsome than three years ago. At that time, you and When I first met Gu, I felt that the University Scholars were not the ones in the pool, and it was so.

Brother, I don’t know. At that time, I wanted to invite the Grand Scholars to come to Peiping, but the Grand Scholars insisted on staying in Jinling to serve as an official. Naturally, I couldn’t force them to stay. Unexpectedly, in just three years, the Grand Scholars have changed from the little guy who just returned to vulgarity back then. Become my Ming Dynasty's general political envoy, and rank among the Jiuqing. "

What a fourth child, he also knows how to fight against the general.

Chen Yunfu had a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word of forgiveness.

"That's right, the King of Yan's appreciation and respect for his subordinates back then is still in his heart, the crown prince, His Highness King Yan heard that the subordinates will stay in Jinling."

"Hahahaha, why are you talking about those old things, and besides, you guarded the mother and chanted scriptures, and none of us sons owe you a great favor. A mere gift is a reward, and it is also a human being." The son should."

Zhu Di interrupted directly, and gave Chen Yunfu a warning look.

You kid, stop talking nonsense here.

But Zhu Di forgot that three years ago he was the King of Yan and Chen Yunfu was a grassroots.

Today, three years later, he is still the King of Yan, but Chen Yunfu is already the leader of the Eastern Palace Party and the envoy of one of the Nine Ministers of the Ming Dynasty!
So what if I give you face and call you King Yan, but if you don't give me face, I call you Zhu Di!

Zhu Di was unable to fight Chen Yunfu's court battle, and secondly, he was not qualified to kill Chen Yunfu.

Chen Yunfu has nothing to be afraid of.

Really trying to turn his face, Chen Yunfu didn't dare to brag about other bullshit, and it was still possible to impeach Zhu Di alive until he left Beiping and returned to Jinling. By then, history would have undergone drastic changes.

The butterfly effect is terrifying, not to mention that Chen Yunfu, a little butterfly, has grown into a prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex.

Everyone has their own interests, and Chen Yunfu can only speak out for his own interests out of emotion and reason, and it is absolutely impossible to get in front of Zhu Di without thinking to do the same.

"His Royal Highness Yan Wang is too polite. Empress Xiaoci sympathizes with all people in the world with compassion. Although the official is not named as a mother and child with Empress Xiaoci, he was born with the grace of Empress Xiaoci. The son guards the spirit of the mother. How dare you speak of meritorious deeds? How about having friendship with His Royal Highness and the princes?"

Chen Yunfu blocked the words back, and then stopped talking to Zhu Di, and stood up to Zhu Biao to speak with him.

"Prince, it's windy outside, let's go into the city."

"it is good."

Zhu Biao took another look at Zhu Di, and then boarded the carriage. At this moment, Chen Yunfu bowed to Zhu Di.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Yan to lead the way."

The latter's face was filled with displeasure, he snorted coldly and turned around to mount his horse.

So what if you are upset.

Chen Yunfu wasn't afraid that he would have any accidents here in Beiping, on the contrary, he would be very safe here!
Because, even if Chen Yunfu lost a piece of skin, Zhu Di would have to eat and die with him. What if Chen Yunfu died in Beiping?
In the history of this time and space, Emperor Yongle will disappear from the world in Jinling.
