Daming heir

Chapter 158 Will Zhu Di Rebel?
Peking City.

According to Yanshan Mountain, control string Mobei.

Since the beginning of the Hongwu period, when the Ming Dynasty expelled the humiliation of the Tartars and restored the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang took the meaning of "peace and tranquility in the north" and restored the place name of Beiping.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, the fourth son of the Ming Emperor, was canonized as the King of Yan.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, king of Yan, took over Beiping.

So far, the King Sai system in the north of Ming Dynasty has gradually been established.

As for Beiping, because it is the grassland of the Yuan people in Mobei after passing through the mountains, it also became the center of the Ming Dynasty to hoard the army and horses, and serve as the center for the north to resist the remnants of the Yuan people.

At present, autumn has just entered the south.But in Beiping City, it was already bleak, the air was cold and dry, and the cold wind tore the officers and soldiers on the top of the city.

Zhu Di, the King of Yan, wearing the black gauze crown of the clan of the Ming Dynasty, was only wearing a prince's uniform, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were looking to the south.

This year, the war in the north will stop for a while, neither Ming nor Yuan people are willing to start a war easily in winter.

Zhu Di, however, seemed worried.

"Is the prince looking at Yingtian?"

At this time, a somewhat conflicting speech came to Zhu Di from behind.

A big-faced monk in a black gauze robe walked up to the top of the city with a deep smile on his face.

But it's not like monks who put on Buddha's hands and bowed their hands directly.

Zhu Di turned his head sideways, saw that it was Yao Guangxiao who came to Beiping with him back then, and smiled silently: "Master, are you free today?"

Yao Guangxiao, known as the black-robed prime minister by later generations, lived in Beiping City for many years, but his birth was exceptionally fair.

He shook his head with a smile: "My lord hasn't answered the little monk's question yet."

Zhu Di shook his head helplessly, turned around and continued to look south.

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward again, and came behind Zhu Di: "The crown prince is seriously ill, and His Majesty is not well. I'm afraid our Huaiyou County King is either in charge of the state, or praised by a good grandson."

"Oh?" Zhu Di showed a hint of curiosity on his face. After returning to Yingtian, he received many letters from his nephew, but all the letters mentioned the family relationship of the Tian family and talked about Some things about the old man's recent situation and his inquiry about the war in the north.

Yao Guangxiao said affirmatively: "Even, the little monk thought that if there were no mistakes, that person might have already been canonized as the grandson of the emperor."

After saying the words "Emperor Taisun", Yao Guangxiao looked up at the back of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Similarly, after Zhu Di heard these three words, his face changed slightly.

But he still kept his voice tight, and said calmly: "Yun Xing is talented, and Ying Tian is in danger at this time, so it's okay to accept orders in the face of danger."

Yao Guangxiao went a step further and said, "But has the lord ever thought about it, if the crown prince is seriously ill this time..."

"presumptuous!"

On the wall of Beiping City, King Yan Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then turned around and stared at Yao Guangxiao who was speaking gloomily beside him.

He snorted coldly: "The prince is blessed by the ancestors, and he will surely live a long and healthy life..."

Although at the end, Zhu Di's voice became softer after a while.

The elder brother was on a tour of the west. As soon as he left Luoyang, he became ill and fell into a coma for more than half a month. Can he live a happy and healthy life like this?

At this time, Zhu Di felt restless for no reason.

He thought of another thing that he should never have thought of.

Seeing this situation, Yao Guangxiao showed no fear on his face, instead he smiled faintly: "Da Ming is now 24 years old, although he is still young, but the Yuan people have not been expelled, if we don't guard against it, it will definitely become my confidant's trouble in the future.

In this way, the prince has been in Beiping for 12 years, and he is very familiar with the people of Yuan Dynasty. In terms of the country and society, no one can match him! "

His subtext is very clear, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Yuan people, and there will be hidden dangers for a long time.

And Zhu Di is the vassal king of Daming who is most familiar with Yuan people, and his role is the greatest for Daming.

Zhu Di irritatedly chased away the thoughts that should not have been in his mind, and said lightly: "The second elder brother Qin Wang and the third elder brother Jin Wang have been in the frontier for many years, and the soldiers under them are far more powerful than those in Beiping. They are more familiar than this king. Yuan / person."

Yao Guangxiao turned his head to look around, and then stepped forward again, bringing the distance between himself and Zhu Di to the closest.

He whispered in a low voice: "Whether the king of Qin or the king of Jin, there are many acts of domineering and oppressing the people in the feudal state. This time, the king of Qin was ordered to return to Beijing because of the lawlessness in the state of Qin. The king of Jin also has lawlessness from time to time, which spread should day.

If one day, the crown prince...

As King Yan of Ming Dynasty and the fourth son of Emperor Hongwu, how should he deal with himself? "

Zhu Di let out a long sigh, his eyes flickered down from the top of the city, and he turned around to look at Yao Guangxiao who was standing in front of him, this was not the first time he persuaded him like this.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, "Master, speaking of it, there is one thing you don't know. A few days ago, my father asked me to send Gao Chi back to the Heavenly General to take care of me."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao frowned.

He thought of something very bad.

But immediately, he shook his head hastily, denying this idea.

Today's Emperor Hongwu is the founding emperor of Daming, and the clan princes and grandsons of Daming are also blood relatives of the old man. According to the old man's nature, he would never use such means on his own family.

Zhu Di said quietly: "Father can remember that Gao Chi's body has been bad since he was a child, and my elder brother often told me to get rid of Gao Chi's body. Even my nephew Yunxi knows that he is dignified. Brother's body."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di had some emotion on his face.

Even though their Zhu family is now a heavenly family, the clan members are in such a rare harmony.

Yao Guangxiao roughly understood the meaning of King Yan's words, so he had no choice but to smile wryly.

This is not the first time such a conversation has happened over the years.

He has this patience.

"So, is the prince going to send the son to Yingtian?"

Zhu Di shook his head: "When the new year is over, the king will return to Beijing next year, and then I will bring Gao Chi to answer the sky."

Send Yan Shizi to Yingtian personally?

Yao Guangxiao became more and more helpless, so he had no choice but to say in a low voice: "My little monk only hopes that everything will be as the prince thinks..."

……

"What is fourth uncle thinking?"

Looking at the reply letter from Peiping, Zhu Yunxi murmured silently.

After reading thousands of words, Zhu Yunxi didn't see anything unusual between the lines.

Just like his letter, he just told his family's short story.Of course, it is more about the introduction of the Northern Army's cavalry formation, and the analysis of various strategies on the way to the Northern Expedition this time.

Although his position in Yingtian City is stable now, everything is moving forward according to his own ideas.

But there is always a lingering haze in Zhu Yunxi's heart.

Jing Nan!

Right now, my good second brother has been imprisoned in Zhongdu.

But in the future, I will definitely restrict the clan and princes, and it is absolutely impossible to go to the Ming Dynasty to raise tens of millions of useless people who are not productive for no reason.

In the early days of the founding of the country, it was easiest to promote the determination of various systems.

He was a little worried that if he continued to implement the measures of reducing the feudal clan or restricting the clan, would his old fourth uncle, like the original history, set off another battle of Jingnan.

"Have you ever thought about that chair in Yingtian City?"

"Are you going to rebel?"

There was some haze between Zhu Yunxi's brows, and he asked silently in his heart.

Only when he got to the position of the grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did he understand that many things are not determined by facts.

Suspicion and suspicion will change every moment due to different positions.

Just like this time after Yingtian's crisis, he sat back and watched the old man introduce the Xinguo Duke's family into the Yingtian Dynasty's situation, and share the army's strength with his uncle Chang's family equally.

The establishment and stability of imperial power will never be judged by family affection.

Regardless of whether the fourth uncle has thought about something he shouldn't think about, Zhu Yunxi will take the initiative to mix sand by his side.

Continuously assigning demoted people to Kaipingwei, and driving Zhang Zhiyuan to Peiping are all Zhu Yunxie's most basic back-up actions under the current overall situation.

Sun Cheng at the side witnessed the complexion of the third master, and with the arrival of King Yan's reply, it became worse visible to the naked eye.

He couldn't help but whispered worriedly: "Third Master, do you want to go to His Majesty's side today? I heard that Zhan Shangshu and others entered the palace today, and they are all at the Zhongji Hall right now."

Zhu Yunxi raised his brows, and hid his suspicions and doubts about King Yan deep in his heart: "Sun Cheng, you have to go to the Dudu's Mansion and tell Lord Kai that during this period of time, you have selected soldiers who are good at water and good at fighting from the army. The warship will not go out in the near future."

This was decided at the posthouse last night with the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, and it was about the Ming Dynasty sending troops to the Wa Kingdom.

Sun Cheng bowed to accept the order.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already packed up the things on the table in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.

……

Inside the Zhongji Hall.

There are many people here at this time.

More than 300 officials in the DPRK and China have been executed recently, and officials have been selected to fill the vacancies.But now that the emperor is in good health, the selection list sorted out by the Ministry of Officials, according to the rules, still has to be handed over to the emperor for review.

And because the Ministry of Households recently confiscated the property of more than 300 criminal officials, it sorted out a catalog, which was also to be submitted to the emperor for review.

Jin Yiwei's commander, Jiang Yu, just came in not long ago.

He looked up at the prince sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sunlight coming in through the window, who was reading a book.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time Jin Yiwei confiscated the property of the offender by order, and supplied confiscated money of 73 yuan, more than 850 taels of silver, and [-] taels of gold cake. The fertile land totals more than [-] mu. There are also paintings and calligraphy , Countless treasures."

After reporting the confiscated amount, Jiang Yu bowed his head with his arms tied.

On the other hand, Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, showed embarrassment on their faces at the same time.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the catalog of confiscation on Jiang Yu's memorial in his hand, and he snorted coldly, and smashed the memorial on the table beside him.

"It's only been a few years? They have accumulated so much property!"

"If we don't investigate, will they continue to be greedy for ink?"

"Aren't you also going to know how to restrain yourself and betray my common people!"

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his finger at the courtiers present.

Zhan Hui and the others trembled, and immediately bowed down.

"I dare not wait."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were gloomy: "Why don't you dare! If it wasn't for my knife resting on your neck, what else would you not dare to do!"

The emperor started an indiscriminate attack.

None of them dared to speak out to annoy the emperor thoroughly.

Looking at these people, Zhu Yuanzhang felt bored for a while.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi's voice came from outside.

"Grandpa, my grandson needs to see something!"

Just hearing the voice but not seeing anyone, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted with a smile: "My good grandson is here! Come in quickly, just talk to grandpa if you have anything to do!"
