Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 449 Chen Yunfu Is My Second Father
"In the Northern Expedition, the imperial court mobilized 45 troops and 180 million logistics personnel to transport more than [-] vehicles of food, supplies, and armaments."

"The new Mengzhou will include the Monan Zhuwei that originally belonged to the imperial court and the areas from the west of Hetao to Juyanhai. These places will all be included in Mengzhou."

"After sacrificing the Kyushu Sheji Altar, Lan Shuai will be the king of Mengzhou, and he will be hereditary."

"Mengzhou's national system, various politics, and military affairs are all determined by the King of Mongolia."

"Mengzhou owes 550 million taels of military expenses for the Zhongzhou war on credit this time, and it is used to purchase 180 million taels in Monan Zhuwei, Hetao, Juyanhai and other places. The combined credit is 730 million taels, with an annual interest rate of 5.00% .”

The matter concerning the establishment of Mengzhou was established soon after the two-level meeting of the Kyushu Association and the Military and Political Yuan, and the relevant administrative officials also began to pack their bags and prepare to go north.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Kyushu, Lan Yu offered sacrifices to the ancestors of Heaven and Dharma at the Sheji Altar of Kyushu, knelt in front of the Kyushu tripod, and was crowned by Chen Yunfu himself.

Afterwards, Lan Yu recited the imperial edict and threw it into the Mengzhou tripod to complete the entire coronation ceremony before leaving Nanjing.

Just like leaving Nanjing with Chang Mao back then, this time there are as many people going to Mengzhou with Sapphire.

Numerous civil and military talents who are eager to make contributions are chasing after each other.

"Mengzhou is the largest state in Kyushu, and it seems to be the strongest state right now, but in fact, after a few decades, Mengzhou will be the weakest state in Kyushu."

"There are not many talents left in the bitter cold land, and the development potential cannot even catch up with Liaozhou."

"Nearly 6000 million taels of national debt, Mengzhou will have to repay it for many years."

There are still many discerning people in Nanjing, and none of these smart people are over 30 years old!

For example, Zhu Gaochi, the former son of King Yan of Ming Dynasty who is also studying in Nanjing Engineering at the moment.

He is studying engineering at the Central School of Administration in Nanjing. Except for going to school every day, he takes his two younger brothers to do labor for others in Nanjing, earning money, and settling his family.

Zhu Yunxi had repeatedly proposed to take Zhu Gaochi's family into the palace, but Zhu Gaochi refused.

It's not that there is any estrangement, on the contrary, all the Zhu Ming clan's relatives in Nanjing now have begun to let go of the historical contradictions of their father's generation, and are very close to Zhu Yunxi, the great Ming emperor.

In the final analysis, the family is rooted in one branch, and they are all the children of Taizu, so how much hatred can they have.

The real enemy is Chen Yunfu who stole their Zhu family.

Zhu Gaochi just couldn't understand, how could Chen Yunfu be so bold to let them study and grow in Nanjing, let them get closer to Zhu Yunxi, wouldn't he be afraid of raising tigers in the future?

It's a pity that learning belongs to learning, and growth belongs to growth. The three brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, it is impossible to be an official or join the army in this life.

His father, Zhu Di, died of treason, and the next three generations of descendants will never be able to join politics and the army.

Even though he was unable to join politics and the army, Zhu Gaochi, the current patriarch of the former Zhu Di branch, did not do badly, and urged his two younger brothers not to do badly.

"Zhongzhou can't be in politics or the army. We can go to other places in the future. Uncle Wu said that our Zhu family can also be assigned to a state in the future."

"where is it?"

"I heard from Yunxi that now Liao, Mongolia, Yue, and Ling have masters, and there are only four states left: Qiong, Ying, Jin, and Tibet. Our Zhu family has a chance to fight for these four places."

"Chen Yunfu himself said that Zhongzhou must be left to Yunxi, which means that our Zhu family holds two states in our hands, and our Zhu family will still have the most important say in the Kyushu Association in the future."

Although there is no clan mansion in Nanjing now, the descendants of the old Zhu family, the heads of each branch will get together to chat when they have nothing to do. For example, this time on the Lantern Festival, a group of people entered the palace in the name of congratulations. They ran to the palace of the emperor Zhu Yunxi and chatted.

There are no servants, eunuchs, eunuchs, and guards in royal clothes, so they can speak freely and boldly.

Zhu Yunxuan was invited to sit down at the top of the table, and now we, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, are already 19 years old.

Zhu Zhen, who was also exiled in Guangxi a few years ago and now returned to Beijing with amnesty, was at a loss.

"What do you think King Yu above us is thinking? If he gave us two states so generously, aren't we afraid that we will counterattack after he dies?"

"Actually, maybe we have misunderstood King Yu."

At this moment, more than a dozen relatives of the Zhu family were also divided into two factions. Some insisted that Chen Yunfu was a traitor, while others changed their views and felt that Chen Yunfu treated his Zhu family well.

All in all, there are different opinions.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth.

"Uncles and brothers, in fact, Uncle Chen has been really kind to me and our family. Uncle Chen has always thought of the kindness his father gave him during his lifetime."

Everyone looked at each other and saw Zhu Yunxi's attitude.

The latter now seems to trust Chen Yunfu unconditionally.

People's hearts are fleshy, and I really have to feel my conscience to say that Chen Yunfu did not treat their old Zhu family badly.

You say he usurped power, isn't that also forced by Zhu Yunqi back then.

"If it wasn't for the second brother who wanted to kill my uncle back then, my uncle wouldn't have taken this step. Even if my uncle took power, he didn't kill my second brother. For so many years, my second brother has been in the palace. Although I can't leave the palace, but It’s not considered house arrest, and the family of three lived happily ever after.”

Zhu Yunfu said good things for Chen Yunfu: "In the first year of junior high school, my uncle entered the palace and told me that after I graduated from school next year, I would be allowed to attend the Kyushu Association every three years."

The Kyushu Fair is bound to be held infrequently. After all, due to the traffic constraints of the times, Changmao is in Liaoyang. It is easy to come to Nanjing. It only takes more than half a month to travel by sea and land.

It is not easy for Lanyu in Mengzhou. He plans to build a city around Langjuxu Mountain, so it will take more than two months to come to Nanjing once.

Later, when they were subdivided, they still didn't know where each of them would set up their capitals. Therefore, Chen Yunfu set three years as the time for the kings of Kyushu to gather once.

Zhu Gaochi didn't touch the delicacies of mountains and seas that he hadn't tasted for a long time, but looked at Zhu Yunxi and asked.

"Your Majesty, King Yu really said that?"

"It's true."

Zhu Yunxuan said convincingly: "Not only that, my uncle also said that in the future, including the meetings of the Military and Political Council, I will be able to sit in and attend, and even express some of my own opinions. Uncle said, I hope I will learn how to govern the world sooner, Only then can he return the country to me with peace of mind."

"Those rumors in the world that Uncle is Dong Zhuo and Sima Yi are all rumors. Uncle is my Duke Zhou of Ming Dynasty, Marquis Wu and Yafu of mine."

Well, Duke Zhou and Yafu have both come out.

Hearing that Zhu Yunfu compared Chen Yunfu to Zhuge Liang, everyone stopped talking.

There are those who sneer at it, and those who fall into deep thought.

Zhu Gaochi also stared at the wine in a daze.

After a long time, he smiled wryly.

Chen Yunfu is the master that even Taizu can't figure it out, how can he and others understand it.
