Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 51 Yunwen, your uncle is going to rebel. What do you think?
  Carrying a hundred thousand guan, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.

In March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. People go out to bask in the sun and enjoy the rare sunshine in winter.

And those scholars also embarked on spring outings one after another, admiring the vibrant spring scenery.

In the south of the Yangtze River in March, the willows were blooming, spring was in full swing, and people were still immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. However, the sudden sound of horse hooves completely destroyed this peace.

This was an urgent letter from Peiping. When people saw clearly the clothes of the people on horseback, everyone's expression changed. They were all wearing Feiyu suits, with an embroidered spring knife hanging from their waists!

At this moment, everyone seemed to have returned to the time when they were dominated by Jin Yiwei.

Not long after, Jin Yiwei presented the secret report written by Jiang Wei to Zhu Yuanzhang. Even Zhu Yunwen was not qualified to read it, "Emperor, King Yan is rebelling!"

When the Jinyiwei people saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately reported the rebellion of King Yan.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who lived in the 30th year of Hongwu, is already seventy years old and can be said to be a boxer.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face is now covered with age spots and wrinkles, making him look even older.

When he saw Jin Yiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang realized something.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Jin Yiwei's report, he looked calm and said calmly: "Submit the memorial."

When Zhu Yuanzhang opened the memorial, he realized that Jiang Yu was indeed prepared this time.

This memorial, spread across seven sheets of paper, recorded all the Jin Yiwei's investigation into Prince Yan's Mansion, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhu Di was treasonous.

740 soldiers, all elite soldiers selected from the army, joined their own cavalry team and strengthened the strength of the cavalry.

Purchasing war horses. Although horses are needed to transport coal, war horses are expressly prohibited, and mules and horses can be used. As a result, there are more than 5,000 war horses in the horse farm under the name of Prince Yan's Mansion.

For the smelting of iron ore, the imperial court issued an order that no one could take the iron ore or copper ore as their own, let alone smelt it privately. Violators would be punished as treason.

As for forging weapons, let alone that.

All of this shows that Zhu Di has the intention to rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang brought the memorial close to him and read it word for word. He read it for more than an hour until he knew every sentence in the memorial by heart. Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial with a heavy face and asked: "This matter , have you all confirmed it? "..."

The people from Jin Yiwei responded hurriedly:
  "All the evidence, subordinates and others have witnessed it with their own eyes, and they will never lie."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded weakly, finally understanding.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"You guys go and take a rest first. Don't be impulsive about this matter. I have my own thoughts."

"Yes."

The people in the Jin Yiwei retreated tremblingly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were also blank.

The most ruthless emperor's family. Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of this truth a long time ago, but he didn't want his descendants to end up like this. Therefore, he left the throne to Zhu Biao, and then he did not treat the other princes badly.

They were made vassal kings, received generous salaries, and were rewarded with a large piece of land without having to pay taxes, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

This is not because he is partial, but since ancient times, there has been a distinction between concubines and concubines, that's how it is.

But why, why are my sons always so greedy and so incomprehensible to their own hard work?
  Zhu Yuanzhang felt a pain in his heart. Did he want him to kill his son?
  In order to clear the way for Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains, first in the Fengtian Palace, and then all his relatives, so that Zhu Yunwen no longer had to worry about anything. But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that there seemed to be a force that had not been eliminated on Zhu Yunwen's throne, and this force was likely to affect Zhu Yunwen's imperial power.

But Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated a little at this time.

After all, this organization was created by him, and it was also the person closest to him, so how could he do it?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so he had to ask Zhu Yunwen to come over.

When Zhu Yunwen arrived, he was shocked by the Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red, his face was haggard, and his hair was messy. Zhu Yunwen had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang like this before. Zhu Yunwen asked quickly:

"Grandpa Huang, what's going on? Why does your face look so ugly?

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunwen coming, he asked Zhu Yunwen to go directly to the emperor's throne and stand beside him.

"Yunwen, I have a question for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little nervous and asked tentatively.

"What will you do if someone rebels?"

Zhu Yunwen looked confused. Is there any need to ask?
  "Of course, the whole family will be executed."

"Conspiracy is a serious crime. If it is not severely punished, countless people will follow suit in the future, leaving disaster for future generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and suddenly asked:

"What if it's your uncle?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned. In his opinion, in Zhu Yunwen's opinion, the vassal kings must have confiscated their families and exterminated their families if they rebelled. What these people did was despicable and shameless, and he would naturally treat them equally.

But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Yunwen knew that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to hear his answer. Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and then said:
  "Grandpa Huang, I think that if these uncles want to rebel, then deprive them of their army, and then send their whole family to the capital and imprison them."

"Although they rebelled and acted treacherously, for the sake of our family, Yunwen is willing to give them a chance to change their ways." "As long as they realize their mistakes, they will not take their lives and let their descendants You can continue to enjoy the privileges of the feudal lord and continue their bloodline."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this answer, he became a little unhappy because his grandson actually wanted to imprison his son for life.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this was already a fight between roommates and a sword-to-sword encounter.

But if you think about it carefully, the fact that the vassal kings were able to save their lives during the rebellion was a gift from God to them.

If it were him and his uncle wanted to rebel, he would only do it even more!

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and nodded, but did not speak.

As soon as Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Yuanzhang's look, he knew something must have happened, and quickly asked: "Grandpa Huang, what is going on? Are you in such trouble?"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He took out a copy of Chiang Kai-shek's memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he still prefers Zhu Biao's lineage.

Let Zhu Yunwen know in advance that Zhu Di is going to rebel, so that Zhu Yunwen can prepare early, so as to avoid Zhu Di really rebelling in the future, causing Zhu Yunwen to be in a hurry.
