Seiwa

Changsha, Valley Palace

Zhu Sui, king of the valley, stood in front of the Yuan Hall, facing the sacrificial ancestral hall, and kowtowed three times.

The family members of the palace were panicked, with tears on their faces.

Concubine Gu took the eldest son of King Gu, and knelt behind King Gu, with a phoenix bead and emerald crown, a long red skirt, a slightly ordinary face, no panic, elegant and dignified.

"My lord, the hour is almost here."

Jin Yiwei and Xuan Zhi's Zhongguan had been waiting in the Chengyun Hall for a long time, but they did not dare to rush into the apse.

After all, King Gu is the Son of Heaven's blood brother, and his elder brother, the King of Shu, is in the court. Although he was abolished as a commoner and imprisoned in the clan's mansion, he still has to give him the dignity that should be given.

The place where the king's mansion is sacrificed, let alone trespassing lightly.

King Gu fell, and those who knew the inside story knew it very well, unless a miracle happened, for example, Emperor Yong Le's head was caught by the door, otherwise, King Gu would never even think about getting out of the clan prison in this lifetime.His wife, son, and daughter will no longer belong to the clan, but can only be passed down as ordinary people from generation to generation.

Emperor Guigao, the son of Emperor Taizu Gao.

First there is the prestige of northern Xinjiang, and then there is the achievement of Jingnan.

Now it is the hero's end, he is beaten to the dust, and he can no longer stand up.

If Zhu Di is not sitting on the throne, if there are no immeasurable changes in the matter, if the plan can go smoothly, if it is not a miscalculation of Xing Ningbo, if...

There are too many ifs, no matter how unwilling Zhu Sui is, he will not be able to let time flow.

The rest, only dejected.

He is in his prime, leading the army, strategizing, and governing the country, and he thinks that he is not inferior to Zhu Di in any of them.

But he still lost.

The defeat was too fast, and the defeat was extremely embarrassing.

Gu Wang straightened his back, his face was resolute, and his tiger eyes were bloodshot.

It was Zhu Di who made him see that as long as he had the strength, as Emperor Gao himself, the throne would no longer be out of reach.

It was Zhu Di who made him understand that not everyone can grab the throne.Even if they have the strength, there are very few people who can succeed.

"I'm going, I'm afraid we won't see each other again." Zhu Sui got up slowly, looked at the princess, and said in a gentle voice, "Teach Zhuo'er well."

"My lord..."

"I'm no longer an imperial family, I'm just a commoner, and even a sinner." Zhu Sui stroked his eldest son's hair with an infinitely sad face, "Zhao'er will be handed over to you."

"My lord, don't worry." Princess Gu had tears in her eyes, but her tone was extremely firm, "I will definitely teach Zhuo'er to become a talent."

"it is good."

Gu Wang smiled, relieved.

As a descendant of Emperor Hongwu, he naturally inherited the arrogance in Zhu Yuanzhang's bones.Even if he is defeated, he will not kneel down and beg for mercy, let alone ruin the reputation of the late emperor.

"Gu Hongwu was born in the 12th year of Hongwu. He was granted the title in the 24th year of Hongwu. He commanded Shanggu County and the important town of Xuanfu. He defended the border and defended against the enemy. Don't charge ahead! Gu is the son of Taizu Emperor Gao, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and he will not lose the name of his ancestors!"

Standing with his hands behind his back in front of the Zhongguan who announced the decree, Zhu Sui looked proud, how about Jin Yiwei?Today, even if Zhu Di is standing in front of him, he dares to speak out!

"For more than ten years in the lonely battlefield, how can you be afraid of you and other rats! In the past, brother Chu didn't want to be insulted by the prison guards, so he died behind closed doors and burned himself in flames. I'm no better than brother Chu, but I can't tolerate the shackles!"

Hearing this, Jin Yiwei suddenly changed color.

Ji Gang, who was ordered to arrest him, raised his right arm and stepped aside.Even if the Jin Yiwei behind him was dissatisfied, he could not disobey the order, so he had to separate automatically, pressing the knife with one hand to make way for Zhu Sui.

"Please."

Jin Yiwei gave way, Zhongguan stood respectfully with his arms folded, Zhu Sui tossed his robe sleeves, raised his head and laughed, and walked out.

"Your fellow, we were ordered to arrest people. Since Zhu Shuren has been abolished, why should he be treated so courteously? Moreover, he is wearing a crown, a serious crime..."

"Stop talking too much."

Looking at Li Qianhu expressionlessly, Ji Gang sneered in his heart.I thought he was capable... No wonder Commander Yang didn't value him anymore. With such knowledge, being a thousand households is invincible.

"Don't forget, Zhu Shuren is the son of Emperor Taizu Gao!"

The major crime of rebellion is just to abolish the throne and be imprisoned in the clan's mansion.

If it was someone else, he would have been invited to the imperial prison to refresh himself a few times back and forth.

Ji Gang knew a lot of inside information, and Yang Duo had handed over [-]% of the facts of the confession presented to Yu Lan.Therefore, he knew very well that the truth that King Gu united with Cao Guogong and Heping Wangfu, intending to meddle in the throne must not be revealed to the world.For Zhu Sui, it is necessary to "learn one side".

It doesn't matter if you deceive yourself or others.

In short, the reason why King Gu was arrested could be greed, cruelty, disobedience, or worse, the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.The only thing that cannot be rebellion.

This involved Prince Ping's mansion, Princess Ping was ill, and Prince Ping was changed to Guizhou, so the truth of the matter had to be kept secret.

The emperor can have a daughter-in-law who died of a long illness, but he cannot have a brother who died suddenly, let alone a son who wants to rebel against Lao Tzu.

In order to rectify his name, Zhu Di talked about Emperor Gao and Empress Gao all day long. If this matter got out, it would be like slapping him hard in the face.

If it was spread through Jin Yiwei's mouth, the situation would be even more serious.

Ji Gang made up his mind that after returning to Beijing, even at the risk of being suspected by Yang Duo, he would kick Li Qianhu away. It would be even better if he could be kicked out of the Jinyiwei team.With such a person by his side, sooner or later he will be implicated.

Many thoughts passed through his mind, but Ji Gang's expression did not change much.

"Eunuch Li, please."

"Ji Tongzhi please."

Ji Gang was polite, but Li Jin was more polite than him.If he can be appreciated by Hou Xian, he will be promoted from Shangbaojian to Silijian. It is impossible to see things and people without a little insight.

Jin Yiwei didn't put Zhu Sui in the shackles, but took off his mianfu and put him in a prison cart.

Zhu Sui's family also went to Beijing together.Degraded from the royal family to common people, except for Princess Gu and a pair of children who rode in a green cloth carriage, the rest of the family members of the royal family had to rely on their feet to walk to the capital.

Pampered and pampered for many years, how can I be tired of the journey.

Jin Yiwei did not treat the royal family members harshly, but some female family members fainted on the way.It is useless to cry and pretend to be dead. After being rescued, he still has to continue walking with the team.Even the side concubine who was favored by King Gu in the past and was almost on the same level as the concubine was the same.

Zhu Sui's family was taken to the capital, and Zhu Gaochi in Nanjing had already packed his luggage and was about to go south.

At first glance, King Ping's change of title is not a big deal.

Of the more than 20 sons of Emperor Hongwu, not a few were entrusted to the southwest of northern Xinjiang, and no less than five of them changed their entitlement midway.

To stabilize the country, guard the borders and protect the land, and protect the Zhu family's country, this is the national policy set by Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Being unable to take on heavy responsibilities, or doing too well and needing to go to places where the country needs it most, can all be reasons for Zhu Yuanzhang to mobilize his son to work.As for whether his son is doing well, whether he can adapt to the local climate, it is basically not within the scope of Emperor Hongwu's consideration, or the proportion is quite small.

Anyway, I have many sons, this one won't work, just get another one.

Not a real son, but a godson.

In short, if the pit is dug, there will be no shortage of radishes.

Historically, before Yongle moved the capital, Beiping was basically nothing to do with prosperity, not much different from a barren land.This is especially true for the prefectures and counties in the Southwest.

There was a thunderbolt out of thin air, and the change of Meng Qinghe appeared, and then places such as Beiping, Daning and Xuanfu gradually prospered.The prefectures of Guangxi and Yunnan, which are close to foreign countries such as Annan in Laos, have also seen improvement.

The emperor changed Pingwang from Shandong to the Southwest. Perhaps the imperial court wanted to develop the Southwest. After Guangxi and Yunnan, develop the commerce and agriculture in Pu'an Prefecture and other places, and train a son by the way. In a sense, it is called Up is a good thing.

However, the decree of King Ping's change of title was issued together with the imperial decree that King Gu was abolished and Duke Cao was deprived of his title.

Could it be that the emperor didn't want to train his son, but that King Ping committed a crime for no reason and was exiled to the Southwest for labor reform?

Combined with Han Wang Zhao Wang being recalled to Beijing, some people speculate that the emperor wants to establish a crown prince, and I am afraid that he will also abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

Since today's accession to the throne, there has been no crown prince, and all the courtiers and ministers have been beaten back.This time, is it going to be settled?Therefore, King Ping was sent far to the southwest, and King Han and King Zhao were recalled to Nanjing.

"Does the Son of Heaven prefer the King of Han or the King of Zhao?"

"Prince Ping didn't make a big mistake, how could His Majesty do that!"

"Ping Wang is benevolent, filial and virtuous, and treats people generously. Han Wang Zhao Wang is a commoner. He loves martial arts and despises literature. He can be a good general, but it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of the country!"

"An ancient virtuous monarch should be a virtuous minister far away from a villain. Han Wang Zhao Wang does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and is willing to be friends with cunning people, which is far inferior to King Ping!"

"Use martial arts to govern the country, and use literature to rule the country! Today, if you are good at martial arts, if you set up a king of Han, use military force, and have a villain by your side, I'm afraid it will not be a blessing for the country!"

"Abandoning the elders and erecting the young is not a blessing for the country, it will be a disaster!"

"Establishing a crown prince is a matter of the country, and we must go to the emperor to speak directly to the emperor!"

"Yes, that's true!"

He was promoted by Guozi Jiansheng to the Li Ke to the king who was in the middle of the matter to give advice, and he was dismissed from the emperor, and he entered the court to give admonition.

"it is good!"

"This proposal is very good!"

Under the rhetoric one after another, everyone's emotions were instantly mobilized.

Unqualified to participate in such "grand events", the etiquette scribes who could only watch with cold eyes secretly muttered in their hearts, this group of people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth are going to touch the tiger's butt again, looking for death.

Why don't you inquire about why the six departments have to change every now and then, like cutting wheat.

Even a low-level clerk like him knows that it is no small matter to establish a crown prince in the dynasty. The six heavenly officials and the five army governors are all careful and careful, and they will not get involved easily.

According to today's temper, whoever dares to sing against him on this matter will never end well.

Thinking back to the high-spirited Zhao Gejian back then, he had the merit of following the dragon, wasn't it because he misjudged the situation and was thrown by the emperor to the mountains of Guizhou to teach and educate people?

These enthusiastic people in front of me probably won't even have a chance to go to Guizhou, but it's very possible that they will live in Annan for a few years.If it doesn't work out, I will lose my life there.

The scribe narrowed his eyes slightly, Wang Gejian was a newcomer, how could he have such great confidence and ability to incite everyone to go to school with him?

There must be something wrong behind this.Moreover, anyone who has heard the rumors in the capital can guess who is the one who was criticized by him.

The clerk tried to keep his footsteps as light as possible, quietly exited the duty room, walked to the corridor, waved his hand and summoned another small official who had just entered the Rites, and said, "I have something to tell you, please come here with your ear."

The little official didn't dare to be disrespectful, he carefully wrote down every word the clerk said, and nodded carefully, "Don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words with you."

"If this thing is done, follow me to do things."

"Yes!" The little official was overjoyed, don't look at the majestic and majestic officials above, jumping up and down against the golden bell cover that the emperor will not kill the officials, looking for beatings in all kinds of ways, among the six subjects, the real intricacies cannot be underestimated It is these scribes who have been watching for many years.

Ask him to pass the news to this guy, although he has been in the job for less than three years, he is quite appreciated because of his childhood background.Even if you are limited by your identity and cannot take a step forward, the future will be quite bright.

If it wasn't for the scar on his forehead, disfigurement, resignation, and another widow as his wife, it would not be difficult to become an official through the imperial examination.

The little official smacked his lips, wondering why this guy had a relationship with Uncle Xingning, and why he wanted to send a message to Uncle Xingning, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity.

The more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became, so I simply put all my thoughts behind me and settled things first.

At this time, Meng Qinghe was still in the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, no matter what the governor said, his mouth was worn out, and he refused to leave.

If the situation didn't allow it, Yin Tianfu Yin really wanted to order the servants to hang up the uncle and throw him out.

The case is closed, what do you want to do if you don't leave?

The emperor had already issued a decree, which was clearly written in the edict, and the content was posted in front of the city gate, with golden words, calling on the whole people to read less Buddhist scriptures and read more edicts.

It is even more ordered that the people are the foundation of the country, serving Tian Lijiaxuan, respecting and offering sacrifices to ancestors, and caring for parents will be the right way.

Temples serve the people, how can they support the country.It is strictly forbidden for the monks to serve as monks, and to shave men at the age of forty, and to strictly check their families.

Those who are alone, those who have high-ranking parents who need to be supported, those whose wives are helpless, and those whose young sons are waiting to be fed, will not be given ultimatum, and will be punished with hard labor.If there is a man who wears shaved in private and cheats to obtain the degree certificate, others can report it, and his family can arrest him.All those involved will be held accountable.

Jin Yiwei is ordered by the Central Committee to investigate temples all over the world. Monks who have committed crimes, escaped from military service, and owe debts will be thoroughly investigated, no matter how many years they have been monks.

After verifying the truth, no arrests were made and no punishment was imposed. Instead, the truth was written on big-character posters and posted outside the city gates and temple walls, and the guards and households were asked to guard them.

If the people are illiterate, there will be small officials preaching loudly.

did not hear clearly?OK, tell me a few more times.

The tea is paid by the county government, and the doctor gives medicine to the hoarse voice, and there is a daily subsidy. No matter how worthless the treasure is, it is still money!

In less than half a month, the monasteries where the big-character posters were posted were miserable.

The prosperous incense in the past disappeared, and there was nothing in front of the mountain gate.

"Everything is empty for monks?"

Meng Twelve Lang, who was stuck in the Yingtian Mansion Yamen, pouted, opened the window, and threw the bamboo tube with the note out, without any worry that it might be thrown in the wrong place.

It's not that he is wholeheartedly against the monk, Dao Yan is a monk, and he still recites scriptures even after he has returned to the vulgar world, and he doesn't want to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors.

But monks can also be divided into real monks and fake monks.

If you really understand the Tao and practice hard, you should be respected by the world.

Occupying land in the name of temples, accumulating wealth without paying taxes, drinking and meat in front of Amitabha Buddha, what kind of scriptures are you reciting?

Furthermore, murder and arson, tax evasion and tax evasion, debt repayment, parents, wives and children are left aside and ignored, and everything will be fine if you shave your head?How can there be such a good thing in the world.

Within the capital city, there are two temples occupying countless fields, offering incense and offering endlessly, but not paying a grain of food.

Jin Yiwei came to investigate and record, and the monks still spoke plausibly, and even carried out the instructions of Emperor Gao.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk, and he is known all over the world.

Zhu Di's eyes turned blue, and there was no good way.He can issue edicts to make the soldiers and civilians read less Buddhist scriptures and more edicts, but he can't do anything to these monks.

Under such circumstances, Xing Ningbo in "Reflection" actively carried forward the spirit of relieving the emperor's worries.

Jin Yiwei, move!

Big-character posters, post them up!

Don't hit or curse people, Jin Yiwei pays attention to convincing people with reason.

No quarreling, no hands-on, let some people who wear monk clothes but are rotten inside taste the bitter fruit.

Purdue sentient beings?Let's talk about it first after Purdue yourself.

Exterminate Buddha?

Meng Twelve Lang shook his head again and again, the hat was too big, and he didn't have such a big head.

He is just presenting the facts and reasoning, and how the world chooses is none of his business.

"It's Jin Yiwei who did the fighting, what do you have to do with me?"

Uncle Meng is righteous.

He wanted to send God off but failed, and was successfully dismissed from the crooked building, and was dismissed cleanly. Fu Yin and Fu Cheng held hands and looked at each other, choking speechlessly.

After returning home ten times in a row, Fu Cheng cried very sadly.

Fu Yin was even more sad, he had done it eleven times.

After studying hard for more than ten years and being an official for nearly 20 years, is it possible that all the knowledge and official experience are enough?

In this world, why are there such strange people as Uncle Xingning?

Wipe away your tears, you really are no match!

After the emperor issued an edict, Jinyiwei took many actions, and no one mentioned the suicide of Xiaoqi, who caused a lot of trouble.The rumors surrounding Meng Qinghe were also broken.

There are fewer monks, fewer ordained monks, more laymen, and more farmers.

Regardless of whether it is voluntary or forced, increasing food production is a reality.

Emperor Yong Le was very happy, he could not reward Meng Qinghe explicitly, so he simply sent 100 taels of gold, 300 taels of silver, and [-] ingots of banknotes to Shen Xuan who had not yet returned to Beijing.The reason for the reward is "serve the country and share the worries of the emperor."

Guangxi is far away from Nanjing, the news is not smooth, and Jinyiwei's action of posting big-character posters has not yet gone out of Huguang and other places.

To pacify Annan, the emperor gave money.

Guangxi suppressed bandits, and the emperor gave money.

For no reason, why give money again?

The middle official who presented the reward was all smiles, "Our family congratulates the Duke."

Without waiting for Shen Xuan to ask questions, he explained clearly the real reason for this batch of silver rewards.

Shen Xuan nodded, sent the Zhongguan away, looked at the boxes lined up, and sighed helplessly.

Grandpa Guo said that there is a lot of pressure in the family who can make money, especially the emperor's money.

At the same time, King Ping had set off from the capital to the fiefdom.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaochi went to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor, and proposed to bring Princess Ping to join the vassal.

Zhu Di sank his eyes, and tapped on the case with his fingers, until a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Gaochi's forehead, before he said, "Have you thought about it?"

"Please give me your permission."

Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, and he insisted on resisting Zhu Di's pressure.

After a long time, Zhu Di said, "That's all, it's up to you."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Gaochi paused, and with a bang, a blush was left on the bluestone brick.

On the day of departure, Concubine Ping was carried onto the carriage by the palace servants, and looked at King Ping, weeping uncontrollably.

"You and I have been married for several years, and you have bore children for me, and we have been together for many years." Zhu Gaochi held Princess Ping's hand and said, "I will be your husband after all."

Ping Wang Xianglu drove out of Nanjing and headed south.

The cavalry of the King of Han and the King of Zhao joined forces in Shandong, and after crossing the river by boat, they finally arrived in Nanjing.
