historical royal courier

Chapter 173 Make up for the mistake
"I'm sure I'm going back this time, don't you change your mind?"

"Going back, it's boring, it's really boring. I went to Wenyuan Pavilion to take a look yesterday. I thought there would be a few literati who didn't open their eyes and rushed up to question me. I didn't expect that they all behaved like quails. Really. A bunch of idiots."

When I came here, I thought he was disobedient, so I was unhappy. Now that I am leaving, I am unhappy because I think he is too obedient. Why is the emperor of the old Zhu family so weird?An emperor like Zhu Di is really hard to serve!

"Okay, have the army here been assembled yet?"

"The convening is over, among other things, these honorable generals are still loyal to my Ming royal family, and none of them wasted the gift I gave them back then."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di is still a little complacent, because now the most honorable generals left over from the Ming Dynasty belong to the Jingnan family.

You really have nothing to say about the loyalty of the nobles of Ming Dynasty. You can say that they don’t work, that they are stupid, and that they are useless, but you cannot say that they are not loyal to the Ming royal family.

Because the honors of the Ming Dynasty are so rare, they were basically produced in the Great War of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, the Battle of Jingnan, and the Change of Civil Fortress, and all of them were obtained by some generals by virtue of martial arts.

As for the civil servants, hehe, even Zhang Juzheng, an extremely talented civil servant, did not get a title. As for Wang Yangming, the only scholar in the Ming Dynasty who received a title, he got it by martial arts.

Moreover, Daming's honorary succession conditions are almost the same as the country, so of course they are loyal to the Daming royal family. After all, this is a lifetime iron rice bowl. Isn't it a big loss.

"That's right, no one can guarantee such a good job. Now that the army is assembled, let's start off."

After making some complaints, Li Yi began to think about his itinerary in his heart.

Help Zhu Di transport people, and then go back to pay attention to Li Chengqian's situation, and then send home the emperors who have made money in the Tang Dynasty, and then help everyone transport weapons and people on both sides to expand the territory. Think about it this way, Li Yi suddenly made a major discovery!
It seems that I have a lot of things to do, hey, I am not a salted fish! ! ! !

One of the great discoveries of the 21st century!
"No, no, don't be in a hurry to bring the army back. Let's go back and discuss the attack strategy, and then go directly to the battlefield to pull the army out."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

It was agreed that the person who came to pull the army will not pull it again, Zhu Di, hey!
A group of people returned to Zhu Di's hometown. Li Yi and the others were free for a while, but Zhu Di was busy.

We all know that although Zhu Di was a very good emperor in history, he treated his enemies very impulsively and cruelly.

The most criticized point is that Zhu Di went to Beijing to hunt and kill Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru, a minister during the Jianwen period in the early Ming Dynasty, can also be said to be one of the three pillars of Emperor Jianwen's vassal reduction, and the other two are Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng.

But it’s still the same sentence, if a scholar rebels, it won’t work in three years, and if a scholar fights a war, it’s still the same reason. These three guys are really good at reading, and they will become a pile of shit when they fight.

But this is not to say that they are not good people, it just means that they are fighting.

On the contrary, Fang Xiaoru is a character that even Lao Zhu has taken a fancy to. He thinks this guy is knowledgeable and upright, so he specially asked his son Zhu Biao to say that you can call him as an official when you become the throne in the future, and use him until you are old.

Moreover, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di's prime minister in black, thought that Fang Xiaoru was a good "study seed". If Fang Xiaoru died, there would be no scholars in the world.

It's a pity that Zhu Biao didn't live to that time, and then Fang Xiaoru was summoned by Zhu Yunqi to become an official, and the first major thing he did was to cut down the feudal clan.

Then why is Fang Xiaoru so powerful and can be appreciated by so many people?
Because this guy was not only a child prodigy since he was a child, but he also worshiped a very famous teacher.

His teacher was Song Lian, who was hailed by Zhu Yuanzhang as "the first of the founding civil servants" and "one of the three great poets and writers in the early Ming Dynasty" by literati.

Yes, it is Song Lian, the author of the "Preface to Sending Dongyang Horse to Life" that we recited when we were studying.

He had such a famous teacher and was praised by Song Lian, and he was even better than Song Lian's other disciples at a young age. Do you think Fang Xiaoru's literary achievements can be bad?Can the status of literature not be high in the eyes of scholars of the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, such a famous and upright person was killed by Zhu Di, and it was because of personal anger, because Fang Xiaoru refused to write an imperial edict for Zhu Di, do you think Zhu Di will be slandered by literati and criticized by future generations.

However, there is still one thing about Fang Xiaoru in history that is very debatable, and that is about Zhu Di's execution of Fang Xiaoru's ten clans.

In history, there are two recorded members of the Jushi clan, Fang Xiaoru and Jing Qing.

Jing Qing won’t say much more. The introduction of this guy is the same as in the mythical novel written by Nima. I don’t believe it in ordering the gods. Anyway, everyone knows that he was too loyal because he failed to avenge Emperor Jianwen’s assassination of Zhu Di and was killed instead.

In fact, the statement about Fang Xiaoru's Zhushi clan did not appear in the official history, but mostly came from the records of the unofficial history, so the credibility is not very great.

It is very likely that the incident was exaggerated because of the exaggerated form of Ming and Qing dramas. In fact, official history records that Zhu Di only killed Fang Xiaoru's father's family.

Now because Zhu Di knew the history, and Zhu Yunwen did not die, Zhu Di did not kill Fang Xiaoru, but instead gave him a Hanlin editor, and gave him a noble job to confess him as a facade.

"How many troops are you going to send to attack Tatar?"

After finally waiting for Zhu Di to rest, Li Yi hurriedly stopped Zhu Di to ask about the situation, and he was still in a hurry to go back to ask about weapons.

"What, the army, do I need to send out the army?"

Seeing Zhu Di's cheeky and self-satisfied appearance, Li Yi knew that Zhu Di was definitely Lao Zhu's seed, so he didn't say anything else.

The appearance of asking for money and deducting money is almost in the same line as Lao Zhu!

"Okay, that's 50 troops, right? I'll help you ask about some weapons. You don't need to ask too much. To be honest, using 50 troops to fight Tatar is obviously crushing."

Because in history, Zhu Di dispatched 50 troops to attack the Tatars. These 50 people also included farmers responsible for logistics and transportation. These were not combat forces.

"I'm leaving."

Li Yi turned the wheelchair and took Zhu Youjian back with him. After all, he had to go back to prepare troops.
