Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 173 Bo Yun's treacherous political vortex

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden attack at today's court meeting, including Zhan Hui's stand up to impeach Chang Mao, Chen Yunfu, the only person in the whole court, had already guessed everything that happened like a mirror.

Including why everything happened these days, only Chen Yunfu knows best.

The source of the matter was still Zhu Yunxi's ceremony of grasping Zhou that day.

Replay it, otherwise the fog will be heavy.

Long before Zhu Yunxi caught Zhou Zhili, Zhu Yuanzhang left Beijing for Fengyang. At that time, Zhu Biao deliberately found Chen Yunfu once and talked about moving the capital.

At that time, Chen Yunfu was very surprised that moving the capital, such an important matter, Zhu Yuanzhang actually let Zhu Biao decide for himself.

That can only show that Zhu Yuanzhang is old, and he really started to consider handing over the imperial power to Zhu Biao.

Combined with the contents of "Edict in Memory of Queen Ma" written by Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace when Empress Ma passed away, Chen Yunfu firmly believes that in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at this moment, only a son like Zhu Biao deserves his attention.

Well, since Zhu Yuanzhang attaches so much importance to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely prepare a gift for this grandson when Zhu Yunyu, Zhu Biao's son, grasps Zhou Zhili.

Everyone has heard many stories about Jin Yiwei, and Chen Yunfu also knows that Linger is the eyeliner that Zhu Yuanzhang keeps by his side, but he never says a word, keep it if he keeps it, anyway, he doesn't do anything illegal, What are you afraid of.

Knowing that, Chen Yunfu didn't even plan to drink at the banquet that day.

But he didn't drink, and couldn't stand a group of brainless people coming up to persuade him, so he simply drank some to pretend to be drunk.

There is nothing nutritious or worth mentioning in the first part of the whole ceremony of grasping the week, and the focus is only on the end.

At that time, Chen Yunfu and his father-in-law Shao Zhi and Zhu Biao sang a play together. Chen Yunfu pretended to drink too much, and made a slip of the tongue. Zhu Yunxi was just a child who knew what it meant to catch a week, so Shao Zhi immediately stood up and told Zhu Biao Crime, saying that Chen Yunfu was drunk.

Zhu Biao took advantage of the situation and repelled, allowing Gong'e and Shao Zhi to drag Chen Yunfu away.

It happened so well that Chen Yunfu was purely trying to avoid drinking, but who would have thought that Chang Mao didn't know whether he was drunk or had other thoughts, and suddenly came that flattering Zhu Yunxi.

Note that just after Chang Mao finished speaking, Lan Yu planned to echo her words, but Chen Yunfu threw Lan Yu down with the strength of wine.

Strange isn't it.

At that time, Chen Yunfu was surrounded by Shao Zhi and several maids. If Chen Yunfu was really drunk, he should have rushed to the palace, instead of avoiding everyone in front of him so accurately, he just threw Lan Yu down.

Therefore, Chen Yunfu was not drunk at all, not only not drunk, but also very sober.

When Chang Mao said that, Chen Yunfu's intuition, which was different from ordinary people, made him feel the sense of crisis again, so at the moment Lan Yu was about to speak, Chen Yunfu threw Lan Yu down.

Originally, with Lan Yu's strength, even if Chen Yunfu threw him down, he would always be able to push Chen Yunfu away, and he wouldn't wait for someone else to pull Chen Yunfu away.

It was only because Chen Yunfu said something while taking advantage of the opportunity of the two of them face to face.

"Shut up and pretend to be drunk!"

Adhering to the principle of unconditional trust in Chen Yunfu, Lan Yu resolutely pretended to hit the back of the head, covered her head and passed out.

But Zhu Biao couldn't help trembling with anger, and the banquet broke up unhappy.

Chen Yunfu didn't just save Lan Yu, he also saved Zhu Biao!

How to save it will be discussed later.

Let's go back first.

When Zhu Biao told Chen Yunfu that Zhu Yuanzhang had set off to drive back to Beijing, Chen Yunfu immediately went to the Tongzheng Sizong to ask Hu Sizong, but the news he got was that the Tongzheng Si had not received all the information from the Yuqian Si about Shengjia's return to Beijing. information.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang carry out a surprise attack without telling the Tongzheng envoy?

The reason is simple, he must have some shady arrangements.

Lao Zhu wants to touch Changmao!

Chen Yunfu racked his brains to think about Chang Mao's fate in history, and he can already conclude the real cause of death of Chang Mao, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu in history.

Reserve!

Since Lao Zhu wants to move Chang Mao, the easiest way is to use the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to find out the mistakes Chang Mao made in the army, so Chen Yunfu frequently read the memorials of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

But nothing was found, and no one impeached Chang Mao.

Chen Yunfu had self-doubt at that time, could it be that history has gone wrong?

Suddenly realized.

What crime was Chang Mao charged with in history?
On the day he followed Feng Sheng in the Northern Expedition and made an emergency landing on Nahachu, Nahachu was drunk in the camp of the Ming army and spoke recklessly and aggressively, so Chang Mao ignored Feng Sheng's obstruction and drew a knife to wound Nahachu.

Because of this, Feng Sheng's class teacher impeached Chang Mao in front of Zhu Yuanzhang after returning to Beijing, and Chang Mao said that Feng Sheng had lost his integrity.

The final result was that Feng Sheng was confiscated at home by Zhu Yuanzhang with all his military power, while Chang Mao was sentenced to death, and was later forgiven and dispatched to Longzhou, Guangxi. He died of illness within a year.

This is the official history record, but it really can't be believed.

You must know that Feng Sheng is Chang Mao's father-in-law!

In this era when relatives hide from each other, Weng and his son-in-law confronted each other in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, so let's treat it as righteousness and kill relatives, but Chang Mao just slashed Naha with a knife, and was sentenced to death?
This cannot be explained at all.

That's why Chen Yunfu said, how could something completely unrealistic happen.

History has changed because of itself.

Chang Mao failed to go north with Feng Sheng with the army, so naturally it was impossible to kill Naha Chu with a knife. His crime was not at all, but that he was Zhu Yunxi's uncle!

He stood on the opposite side of Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of supporting who should be the grandson.

You know, except for Chen Yunfu, no one has the perspective of God.

Who would have thought that Zhu Biao would die before Zhu Yuanzhang, and everyone believed that Zhu Biao would succeed.

Then once Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, the prince will be either Zhu Yunqi or Zhu Yunxie.

As Zhu Yunxie's natal family, Chang Mao and Lan Yu naturally supported Zhu Yunxie, and Feng Sheng was Chang Mao's father-in-law, so he naturally stood by Zhu Yunxie's side.

After sorting out the relationship between the characters and the interests of the party, everything will fall into place.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these courtiers or, to put it harshly, domestic slaves had begun to speak out about their own family affairs, posing a great threat to the imperial power, so he raised the butcher's knife without hesitation.

kill!

Since he wanted to be killed, he must be charged with crimes. Chang Mao did not cut Nahachu as he did in history, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to find a way elsewhere.

What else can I do.

Mobilize local governments to criticize and impeach Chang Mao!
Therefore, Chen Yunfu rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate non-stop, and asked for the impeachment transcripts from the Dudufu of the Five Armies and Zhili. Sure enough, in the Zhili memorials, he found the impeachment of Chang Mao by Kuang Wei, the county magistrate of Huaiyuan County, Haozhou Prefecture. .

At this time, Chen Yunfu made a cover for himself.

Said that what he came to look for was to drive up prices by businessmen in Suzhou Prefecture.

And told Chen Xinli before leaving, saying it with a pun.

"The officials of the Suzhou government are all blind and dumb?"

In fact, this is to tell Chen Xinli, what I came to do today, you pretend to be blind and dumb, don't see it, don't say it.

As for whether Chen Xinli could understand it, that was up to him.

Chen Xinli understood, he took advantage of the situation and stated that this year the Jingchao will strictly investigate the Suzhou government, and it was confirmed that Chen Yunfu came here only for Suzhou affairs.

Therefore, Chen Yunfu happily patted Chen Xinli on the shoulder.

Chen Xinli seized this opportunity by himself.

Chen Yunfu already knew that Chang Mao was dead after he left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But he saved Sapphire!
In addition, going back to the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son that day, why did Zhu Yuanzhang say that without Chen Yunfu, Zhu Biao would have become Li Shimin.

The military around Zhu Biao is too powerful, but this is what Zhu Yuanzhang intended.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Yuanzhang betroth Chang Yuchun's daughter to Zhu Biao instead of Xu Da's daughter to Zhu Biao.

It seems that in the Ming army, Xu Da is the leader, but who else in Xu Da's faction besides Xu Da?

Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping, was not.

His brother-in-law is Lan Yu, his son Chang Mao is Feng Sheng's son-in-law, Feng Sheng's eldest brother is Feng Guoyong, the Duke of Cheng, and Feng Guoyong's daughter is Zhu Yuanzhang's godson, wife of Xiping Hou Muying, and Mu Chun's biological mother. !

As for the relationship and relationship between Mu Ying and Zhu Biao, is it still necessary to talk about it here?

In addition, the late Qiyang King Li Wenzhong led Zhu Biao to grow up, Cao Guogong's family is also a princeling.

Now you can understand that the core of all the interests of the Ming Dynasty military is in Zhu Biao alone. Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne and Zhu Yunxi becomes the prince. Everyone is happy.

As for Xu Da's faction, there is only one powerful celebrity, and that is his son-in-law Yan Wang Zhu Di.

But who knows that Zhu Di will rebel and become emperor in the future, right?

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has formed a second-generation power center with Zhu Biao as the core, Korean Gong Li Shanchang, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, and Xiping Hou Muying as auxiliary ministers.

It's just that the sky does not lie, everything Zhu Yuanzhang paved the way for Zhu Biao, and Chang's death from illness was never counted.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang was in trouble.

He himself didn't want the children of his family to fight each other for the throne of the emperor, so he promulgated the Great Instructions, established the eldest son inheritance system, and gradually handed over all the power to Zhu Biao, but now that the Chang family died, Zhu Biao What if the emperor does not have a queen in the future?
Then fix one more.

Zhu Yuanzhang's support of Zhu Yunqi's birth mother, Lu Shi, has nothing to do with Lu Shi's personality at all, but because Zhu Yunqi is one year older than Zhu Yunxi!
This is so fucking important.

Supporting the Lu family, Zhu Yunqi is both a heir and an elder, and fits perfectly with the Huangming Baoxun card.

In addition, there is no need to argue about whether Zhu Yunxi, a direct descendant, became a bastard because of this.

Because the rules of etiquette are not set by the Ministry of Rites, but by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the era of imperial power, especially the Ming Dynasty, whose rules can be greater than Zhu Yuanzhang!

Who would dare to stand up against Zhu Yuanzhang among the officials of the Ministry of Rites, saying that what he did was not in line with the etiquette?
Everything is progressing step by step, but the party group organized around the core of Zhu Biao can't sit still.

Everyone bet their chips on Zhu Yunxie, it's good now, when Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne in the future, the crown prince's position will fall to Zhu Yunxie, so what shall we do?
In this way, withdraw from the core of power and give most of the political dividends to the Lu family.

Where a person's butt sits, he will naturally shout for his own interests.

Chang Mao, Feng Sheng, and Lan Yu Qiqi supported Zhu Yunxi's behavior, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel threatened and angry because of it.

He was worried that after his death, Zhu Biao's succession to the throne would be scruples about the military's attitude, and instead make Zhu Yunxi the crown prince, violating the imperial instructions issued by himself, and dusting the imperial power.

What Chang Mao said made Zhu Yuanzhang suspicious. Is this a temptation from the military?

Is it from Zhu Biao's temptation?

Once Zhu Biao opened his mouth at the banquet that day, and Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Li Jinglong and others all agreed, it would be terrible.

This is a force that is strong enough to support Zhu Biao's coercion. Although this coercion is destined to be impossible to succeed, it is also an obstacle.

Is Zhu Yuanzhang suppressing or not suppressing?
If it is suppressed, Zhu Biao's position as the prince will be abolished. If there is no suppression, as the joke says, he will tie himself up and send him to Zhu Biao. If the throne changes hands, then Zhu Biao, the new emperor who relies on military advice, will have to rely heavily on him. The military, thus making Zhu Yunxi the prince as a political exchange.

The imperial power is still covered in dust.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma.

It was Chen Yunfu's indulgence and nonsense that caused the banquet to break up unhappy, and also caused Chang Mao's words to not get any response and approval from anyone.

Angrily, Zhu Biao shook his sleeves and left. He didn't even have time to pay attention to what Chang Mao said. Maybe even if he noticed, he was so angry that he didn't have time to think about the deeper meaning.

History itself has only lines of empty words, but for Chen Yunfu who is at this moment, these are all visible and tangible immediate events.

He is in the midst of a terrifying political vortex.

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Beijing, Zhu Biao led a hundred officials to pick him up. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang first walked to Lan Yu, then to Chang Mao, beat Chen Yunfu again, and finally found Zhan Hui.

"How is Beijing?"

Zhan Hui replied, "Everything is going well."

I have done everything you asked me to do!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good."

What's good?
If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask how Beijing was doing, it would never be his turn to go back and forth with Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he wanted to ask, he would have to ask Chen Yunfu, the general governor of Wenyuan Pavilion!
At that time, Chen Yunfu was still kneeling.

After Zhu Yuanzhang beat him enough, he let Chen Yunfu get up.

You are so smart, you should know what I mean?

That's why there was today's court meeting, Lan Yu didn't show up, and Chen Yunfu didn't say a word.

Once Sapphire is present, this mindless bastard is likely to stand up and intercede for Chang Mao.

So good, the Sapphire case is bound to be concocted.

Once the Zhulian prison is activated, tens of thousands of heads will fall to the ground.

To prevent Lan Yu from coming, what Chen Yunfu did was to take care of the overall situation. Don't make too much noise at the court meeting, and don't add fuel to Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.

After resuming the disk, all the treachery will be seen, and the rest is actually nothing. Once Chang Mao and Feng Sheng die, it is not good to stop this matter.

Chen Yunfu is worried.

Now it seems that Zhu Biao has moved his heart of compassion again, and plans to fight Zhu Yuanzhang.

Why is this prince so uneasy.
