Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Oh shit.

Zhen Wu cursed secretly in his heart, this is really a lunatic, looking forward to instigating Zhu Di to start a war, he just wanted to use his ability, no matter whether he can win or not, this war is probably just a game for Dao Yan, It's just that the price of losing this game is to pay for life.

And death, for this old guy, I'm afraid he really doesn't care at all, let alone his own death, the death of all the people in the world, this old guy may not be moved.

Fortunately, he still has a bald head.

Zhen Wu thought for a while, but did not answer directly, but asked Yan: "Master, do you think the policy of the new emperor after he ascended the throne is correct?"

Dao Yan thought without hesitation: "Cutting down the vassals to gather imperial power, exempting government orders from being unreasonable, implementing benevolent policies and commuting punishments, how can it be wrong to seek the hearts of the world?"

As he spoke, Dao Yan looked at Zhen Wu, as if he sincerely thought so.

Zhen Wu didn't believe that Dao Yan really thought so, but he still said what he thought: "When he first came to the throne, the army's morale was unstable, so he cut down the king of the northern frontier, which shows the short-sightedness and the benevolent government. The punishment reduction law emphasizes literati and suppresses military generals, only Jiangnan is not Mobei in mind, and the structure is small."

When Zhen Wu said this, he looked towards the direction of the northern grassland, paused and said, "With such a policy, if things go on like this, can the new emperor of the world be able to keep it? The weakness of the former Song Dynasty can be clearly seen in my memory. Is it necessary to repeat the same mistakes? Just to win The heart of some literati?"

"Is the Song Dynasty not good? The scholars return to their hearts, the prosperity is prosperous, and the people are rich."

"Okay, but Daming can be better, because the territory of my Han family has never been just Jiangnan. The wealth I want is that both the north and the south of the river are rich. Now we are born in Daming, born in this era that can rival the Han and Tang Dynasties. Why? Instead of recreating or surpassing the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, why compare it with the former Song Dynasty?"

Dao Yan laughed out loud.

Zhen Wu also laughed twice, and then said: "Actually, I'm just a general. I can't control so much whether I'm rich or not. What I want is very simple. Beiping is my home, and Mobei is also my home. Going further north , to the south, to the east, to the west, is my home. The new emperor can't do this, but His Highness can. What's more, the soldiers all over the world are honored to expand their territories. They understand that the new emperor can't give them this. , How can I not have confidence in such a situation?!"

"What a confidence." Dao Yan smiled even more happily, he didn't expect to hear about the rebellion from Zhen Wu's mouth, and there could be such a noble reason.

He suddenly found that he liked Zhen Wu more and more, and he could put a higher hat on himself than him, and suddenly said on a whim: "I heard that you just gave birth to a son?"

Ok?

Zhen Wu looked at Dao Yan suspiciously.

Dao Yan smiled and said: "If you don't dislike the poor monk's talent and learning, how about letting your son worship me as a teacher?"

"Become a monk?" Zhen Wu's face turned dark.

Dao Yan's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Zhen Wu laughed twice: "Just kidding, master, don't be so serious."

Dao Yan didn't think this was funny.

Monks are not ashamed.

While chatting, the two headed towards the city.

……

After Daoyan returned to Qingshou Temple, he first dealt with the accumulated matters, and then called a young monk, who asked, "How are things going?"

The little monk replied: "The fact that the king of Xiang was forced to set himself on fire has been spread, and I believe that all the people will soon know the truth."

Dao Yan nodded, and then exhorted: "I gave you the address of the soldier's home before, do you still remember? You must work harder around the soldier's home, make more use of trustworthy men and women, so that the soldiers and soldiers His family members consciously know that following the King of Yan will lead to prosperity, and if they go against the King of Yan, they will go to the Nine Nether Hell, and they will not be allowed to ascend, so there should be no need to teach you more about these things."

The belief in the old monk's heart is just a tool that can be used.

And it is a relatively effective tool.

"Understood." The little monk said, and he didn't think it was surprising, it can be said that there are all kinds of little novice monks.

"Okay, let's go down."

After Dao Yan waved back the little monk, he looked sideways at the pear tree full of petals outside, the sun shining on it, it was very beautiful.

He suddenly thought of talking with Zhen Wu again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Although he didn't care about winning or losing, it must be good to win, and according to what Zhen Wu said, if King Yan wins the throne, in Zhen Wu With the assistance of others, he made a great achievement.

This rebellion may not necessarily leave a bad reputation through the ages.

He doesn't care though.

But if you can smell it, you must be happy.

……

When Zhen Wu and the others stepped up their preparations, time passed quickly, and no one in Beiping City had time to pay more attention to what happened after Zhu Gaochi and his three arrived in the capital.

Until the end of April.

Daming, who was originally calm, suddenly had an incident that shocked everyone.

Zhu Yunzheng swiftly took down King Qi and King Dai in succession like lightning, and abolished them as ordinary people.

After the news reached Beiping City, Zhen Wu couldn't sit still anymore.

He faintly felt that the sword hanging above Beiping City was about to be cut off.

When cutting down feudal clans has become a habit, when the prince is deposed, no one will be surprised anymore, when Zhu Yunqi gathers great power, how can Zhu Yunqi still care whether Zhu Di is really crazy?

Zhen Wu secretly came to Yan Wang's mansion and persuaded Zhu Di that it was time to find a way to get Zhu Gaochi and the three back.

Zhu Di was also a little flustered and scared at this time.

Zhu Yunqi moved one after another, without stopping at all. From King Zhou, King Xiang, to King Qi and King Dai, the speed was getting faster and faster. Zhu Di is also a prince, so why not panic.

If his son didn't come back, he would be wary if he wanted to resist. He couldn't help but regret letting Zhu Gaochi and others enter Beijing.

Zhu Di hurriedly called Daoyan again, and after careful discussion, the three of them felt that they could no longer be so passive, and needed to call Zhu Gaochi and others back first.

Zhu Yunwen is so ruthless, it's dangerous to be an uncle.

Afterwards, after Zhen Wu and Dao Yan left, a news spread from the Palace.

Zhu Di was seriously ill and was about to die, so he needed Zhu Gaochi and others to come back to take care of him.

The news reached the ears of Zhang Bing and Xie Gui immediately, and they hurriedly came to the palace to visit.

It's almost May now, and the weather has turned warm, but Zhu Di's bedroom is full of charcoal basins. As soon as Zhang Bing and Xie Gui walked in, they were rushed back again and again by a wave of heat.

After they came in, they saw Zhu Di with a pale face clutching the big quilt. Even so, Zhu Di seemed to be shivering from the cold.

The two were shocked, and hurriedly asked Xu Miaoyun, who was waiting beside him, about Zhu Di's condition.

Xu Miaoyun seemed to be in a state of infatuation from crying, and her words were also confused. She pestered the two of them for a long time before explaining her condition clearly.

But in this short half-day effort, Zhang Bing and the others were sweating all over, and their faces were flushed, as if they had been steamed in a steamer.

The two of them had long been unable to bear the temperature in the room, and they cursed in their hearts that they had nothing to do with this crime, and they didn't want to stay in the room for a while, and wanted to go out to cool off.

However, Xu Miaoyun didn't know whether to pester the two of them intentionally or unintentionally at this time, and refused to let the two leave. She cried and begged the two to let her son come back to see Zhu Di for the last time, otherwise Zhu Di would not rest in peace, and her son would even Regret for life.

The two didn't want to agree.

But they didn't agree, Xu Miaoyun just refused to let them go, in the end they had no choice but they couldn't stand the temperature in the room, so they agreed to Xu Miaoyun, saying that they would play for the emperor and try to let Zhu Gaochi and others come back.

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she cried and let them go.

After Zhang Bing and Xie Gui left, Xu Miaoyun hurriedly asked someone to take away the charcoal basin, and at the same time asked someone to fetch ice cubes. You must know that Zhang Bing and Xie Gui couldn't bear it, and she and Zhu Di were even more unbearable.

Those who can achieve great things have to endure what others can't bear.

After Zhang Bing and Xie Gui went back, they did not break their promises. In their view, Zhu Di was really going to die of illness, and it was reasonable to let Zhu Gaochi and others come back. When Zhu Di died, it was just a sentence There is no need to be as careful and meticulous as before.

The memorial went to the capital.

At this time, Zhen Wu wiped his weapon at home.

He thought, soon, really soon this time.

……

Chapter 242 - Qi Tai is Tired!

The wind in Nanjing City is only in May, and it is full of heat waves. Although there is still a hint of coolness from the Qinhuai River occasionally, it still makes people a little irritable when it blows on people's faces.

It's the same even in the palace.

Zhu Yunwen hid in the Fengtian Palace, and there was always an unspeakable restlessness in his heart. Apart from the heat, it might also come from the unusually quiet court recently.

Since King Xiang's self-immolation happened, there was a momentary quarrel in the court over his policy of reducing the vassal, but when he took down King Qi and Dai Wang like a thunder, the court began to become strangely quiet.

The emperor is holy, even what he shouted was a little unreal.

And he can clearly feel that some people treat him in a negative way, this feeling makes him very uncomfortable, even a little uneasy, so uneasy that he always has an urge to wipe out these people violently, and then shut them all down. Severe punishment in prison.

But he wanted face again.

Zhu Yunwen sighed, gently soothing the depression in his heart, and at the same time comforting himself, thinking, maybe, as Mr. Huang said, if you want to build a prosperous world, you can't care about those jumping clowns, or you can only fall into In the endless debate.

Just like the great grandfather, who can stop what the old man wants to do? There were so many policies back then, and so many people were dissatisfied and even opposed, but the great grandfather never cared about it. In the end, he didn't bring Daming more and more The stronger it is, the more stable it becomes.

The truth is in the hands of a few, and the country is in the hands of a few.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes hardened.

He had discussed with Huang Zicheng and others many times about the policy of reducing the feudal clan, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Since he was right, he must go on firmly. As long as he creates a prosperous generation, those clowns will naturally disappear.

Don't be dragged back by them now.

Zhu Yunqi took out the list full of princes, looked at the three names that were heavily erased with a red pen, and smiled.

Nowadays, who would dare to rely on the identity of Taizu's parent and son, and come to show him the genealogy of the elders? !

act recklessly.

He is their king, so they should kneel down and pray for mercy.

The smile on the corner of Zhu Yunwen's mouth disappeared without knowing when, but his face turned gloomy. He looked at the list again with cold eyes, and stared straight at a name, Min Wang Zhu Wei.

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with Zhu Wei.

Huang Zicheng ran over in a hurry, his breath was a little short, and it seemed that the situation was a little urgent.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Yan..."

Huang Zicheng's breathing was unsteady, and he couldn't continue speaking.

But Zhu Yunwen was very tolerant of this confidant who had been with him for a long time. After he retracted gloomily, he turned into a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Huang, don't worry, is it possible that the prince of Yan and the others are going to return to Peiping again? Don't we?" Have you discussed it, and they will not be allowed to go back?"

Huang Zicheng took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, we probably won't be able to keep the three sons of King Yan, the urgent letter from Beiping eight hundred miles said that King Yan is seriously ill, Fearing for their lives, I hurriedly summoned the three sons of King Yan to go back to serve the sick."

"what?!"

Zhu Yunxuan stood up abruptly, and lost all his unhurried attitude just now, he walked out from behind the table in a hurry, walked up to Huang Zicheng himself and took the letter from Huang Zicheng.

He opened it and looked at it word by word, as if he was afraid of missing important information or misreading the information.

After he finished reading it all, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but want to rise, but he tried his best to control it, trying to keep his face calm.

"Mr. Huang, you said that King Yan was seriously ill. Is it true?"

Huang Zicheng asked back: "Your Majesty doesn't trust Zhang Bing to thank you?"

Zhu Yunwen's expression froze, and then he affirmed: "Of course I trust." After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to his seat to sit down. He couldn't help but began to think about the benefits to Zhu Di if he really died of illness, and thought about enduring it. Can't stop saying: "This is really good... very sad news."

Ok?

Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunqi's expression, and a question mark appeared in his head.

That's not what grief looks like.

However, Huang Zicheng also understands that Zhu Yunqi has regarded Zhu Di as a demon for a long time. Everyone put a lot of pressure on Zhu Di, who is so young.

He doesn't like such people, and he doesn't like this kind of pressure.

Especially now, he is no longer the grandson of the emperor who can only swallow his anger under pressure.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed sharply, and he asked Huang Zicheng: "The son of King Yan, Mr. Huang thinks he will be let go, or should he not let him go?"

Huang Zicheng thought about this question before he came.

"Fang, first of all, His Majesty prevents people from performing filial piety, which is against the principles of benevolence and righteousness. Secondly, if King Yan really dies of illness, the sons of King Yan and others will not be able to resist His Majesty's plan to cut the vassal."

"Isn't it enough to resist?" Zhu Yunwen muttered something, he was a little worried about the third son of King Yan, afraid that if they were talented, if they were really let go, they would cause trouble for him.

Huang Zicheng understood Zhu Yunwen's worry, and suggested: "If your Majesty is worried, you might as well invite the two brothers Wei Guogong to come and ask. The third son of King Yan is related to the Xu family and has been in close contact for a long time. I think the brothers Wei Guogong know the nature of the third son of King Yan. It can also test the Xu family's loyalty to His Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, then he turned his head to the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Go and invite Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou here."

The eunuch took the order and hurried down.

After a while, the eunuch brought Xu Huizu and his brothers to Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yunwen didn't beat around the bush with Xu Huizu, and told Xu Huizu directly that King Yan was seriously ill and wanted the third son of King Yan to return.

Then he asked directly: "I don't know if Wei Guogong and brother Wei Guogong know the disposition of the third son of King Yan?"
