Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"When I'm free some other day, I'll take you to play on the Qinhuai River. It's really late at night. I won't brag about it with you. It's guaranteed to be more fun than northerners can imagine in their entire lives."

Zhen Wu was moved immediately. At the same time, he was sure that no one could refuse such a proposal. This is a flower boat ride on the Qinhuai River, a top place in the entertainment industry. It is really a good place that has been verified by history, and it has not declined over the years.

Not to mention anything else, there must be knowledge.

But Zhen Wu thought that their trip was not for fun, so he asked worriedly: "Will His Highness allow it?"

Tan Yuan had been grinning in anticipation for a long time. Hearing Zhen Wu's words, he was a little shocked and wondered: "Why not, His Highness can still take care of our affairs? Can the elders still take care of this matter?"

"What if His Highness blames you?" Zhen Wu still hesitated.

"Don't worry, if His Highness blames you, just say that I took you there, and I will take care of it." Tan Yuanyi said softly.

Zhen Wu's eyes lit up: "Then we can talk about it."

Tan Yuan patted his chest: "I didn't ask...".

The third word, Tan Yuan suddenly couldn't continue, is Zhen Wu such a timid person?In the right guard camp, he was counted as bold, how could he be honest now?

He looked at Zhen Wu's expectant and innocent face, and suddenly realized that Zhen Wu was going to marry the princess.

Tan Yuan was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

This kind of thing, His Highness can't control other people, can't he control Zhen Wu? !Can he help others carry it, can he help Zhen Wu carry it?Isn't this a joke.

Tan Yuan's face was dark, and he looked at Zhen Wu with a somewhat unkind expression.

Why did his father give birth to such a monkey boy? His grandma's even cheated his elders. He was handsome and pretty, with black water dripping from his stomach.

Zhen Wu was still taking advantage of the chaos: "Then it's settled, you are my uncle, you are righteous, and the boy will not let you suffer, and the money spent will be mine."

"Get lost." Tan Yuan said with a dark face.

"Hey, what's the matter, don't bother."

Tan Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Zhen Wu, his face became righteous in an instant, and then said nonsense in a serious manner: "Look at you, test you a little, you will reveal your true colors, I am your uncle , I can take you to that kind of place? Isn't this nonsense, if your father finds out about it, everyone will blame me."

"Uncle, we've known each other for so long, it's boring for you to do this." Zhen Wu's face also darkened.

The two have been together for many years and cannot lie to each other.

Tan Yuan smiled and said: "Don't say I'm not authentic, there are some things that you are still young and can't handle, let uncle do it by himself."

……

When the two entered the city, the first thing that caught their eyes was the prosperity. There were many shops along the street, and the shouts of some peddlers could be heard from time to time. difference.

The second is that there are so many people, let alone horse racing, it is a bit difficult to lead, and these bustling people, no one cares about Zhen Wu and Tan Yuan who are in armor and leading horses, with a kind of aloofness .

This made Zhen Wu amazed, it is really a different place, in Beiping City, not to mention Zhen Wu and Tan Yuan two thousand households, who would dare to stare at the sergeant?

But the people here dare.

Not only did he dare to stare, but during the process of Tan Yuan yelling to borrow the way, Zhen Wu often heard someone mumbling, the other party spoke so fast and in a low voice that Zhen Wu couldn't understand, but he just looked at the other party's expression I knew I didn't say anything good.

Is Wu Nong soft-spoken?

I haven't experienced it yet, let's experience this first.

This made everyone a little annoyed.

But they have no temper, and they can't really understand like ordinary people, so while inquiring, they groped to find Zhu Di. When inquiring, they met kind-hearted people and would kindly give them directions, but when they met someone with a bad temper, they didn't. Good luck, hold your head high, just ignore how much money others owe him.

After a lap, Zhen Wu and the others really looked like country bumpkins.

In fact, Zhen Wu also understood the mentality of these people. It is not surprising that people on the edge of the imperial city are proud of their own city, but it's just that it makes people feel a little bit unhappy.

After all, everyone is from Daming, so what is there to be superior to others.

Zhu Di had a mansion in the capital.

Located near Wenchang Lane in Zhongcheng, you can turn to Xi'anmenwai Street when you go out, and it is only 10 minutes away from the imperial city, and you can see the western wall of the imperial city from a distance.

Zhen Wu and the others managed to find the place, and only after they entered did they hear that Zhu Di had brought people into the palace. The steward conveyed Zhu Di's order, telling them to wash up and rest and wait for orders.

Zhen Wu and the others naturally had no objections.

Then, under the leadership of the steward of the mansion, the two first arranged a residence for everyone, and then took them to freshen up.

Zhu Di had Fan Guanghua with him, so Zhu Di's safety in the city did not need Zhen Wu to be responsible. They brought military horses just to prevent Zhu Di from having any accidents on the road. After they were dispatched, they deployed troops to carry out the execution, so that Zhu Di would not have no soldiers to use.

But it is generally not used.

Although Zhu Biao is dead, but Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, who dares to use weapons in the capital?He really didn't want to live anymore, but the situation was tense now, so he had to be on his guard. Zhen Wu wanted to ask Fan Guanghua later to see if there were enough manpower in the city.

After thinking about it, Zhen Wu sighed.

Zhen Wu still has one thing in mind.

That was his marriage to Zhu Yuying.

Don't know if everything will go well.

After Zhen Wu washed up, he went out to find Tan Yuan. The two of them didn't have many errands, so they also had leisure time. They found a stone pavilion and played chess to pass the time.

But at night, Zhu Di still didn't come back.

Zhen Wu and the two began to feel a little anxious.

They hurriedly asked people to inquire, and after the steward made a clear inquiry, Zhen Wu and the others were relieved. It turned out that Zhu Di was staying in the palace, but it was a false alarm for everyone.

In the next few days, vassal kings came to Beijing one after another, and Zhu Biao’s funeral was extremely grand. The whole country was in mourning. Courtiers and common people were not allowed to play music for fun within 45 days, slaughtered within [-] days, and were not allowed to marry within one month.

During the mourning period, Taoist priests, monks, and nuns also came in batches. The chanting and condolences continued all day long. Temples and Taoist temples had to ring the mourning bell every half an hour.

After this set, Zhen Wu's knowledge has increased.

……

Chapter 203 - Standing Reserve

Zhu Yuanzhang had been frugal all his life, and finally he was generous at Zhu Biao's funeral. The Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion also spent money and food to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang, all they wanted was to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.

The coffin of golden nanmu was parked for 27 days before it was moved into the funeral palace, waiting for the auspicious day for burial.

After another two months, Zhu Biao was buried in the imperial tomb with great momentum.

So far, the funeral is completely over.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the performance of all his princes and grandsons in his eyes. Some people satisfied him, while others disgusted him. Moreover, he also knew that the matter of the prince had caused waves in the court. And it's getting worse.

Wenchen, Wu Xun, and the prince, everyone has their own thoughts, and these various thoughts, plus the various forces attached to the thoughts, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it seems to be an undercurrent surging and extremely chaotic. The sea, even if the sea surface is calm, does not know when, the undercurrent will rush out of the sea surface, and then set off monstrous waves.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he might still be willing to fish for a while, and when the big waves rise, he will wipe out the waves with one hand, but he is old, and now he only thinks about making the world safe and stable, and thinking about the Ming Dynasty he built To pass on smoothly.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine a new crown prince as soon as possible to prevent the situation from developing to the point of inestimability.

But who should we stand for?

The eldest son has a son, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally took the lead in considering Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxie.

Zhu Yunxi?

When Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, a great victory report from Sichuan sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk shouting all the way. Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and saw that the blue jade army was like a broken bamboo, smashing the rebel Yuelu Timur, and Yuelu Timur fled to Baixingzhou At that time, Lan Yu led the army to pursue him, and captured Yuelu and his son intelligently. Now they have been bundled and sent to the capital for disposal.

What a powerful one, what a smart capture of Yuelu and his son.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but want to praise Lan Yu.

When the army arrived, in just a few months, the rebellion instigated by Yuelu Timur was quickly cut up, and it was solved cleanly, leaving no trace of trouble. This sapphire is really invincible in the world General.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's mood sank.

This Lan Yu used to be Zhu Biao's wife-in-law, so arrogant that even the other princes dared not look at her. If Zhu Yunxi was established, Lan Yu would not fly to the sky relying on her uncle's status?

Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of monarchs being weak and ministers being strong, but which one of the weak monarchs has come to a good end?Counting on the loyalty of strong ministers?Hmph, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a rebel, would not count on it at all.

Even if Sapphire doesn't have any intentions, is it possible that Sapphire's subordinates will not imitate a Chen Qiao mutiny?Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot how Xiaoming Wang fell into the water and died.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang rejected Zhu Yunxi, no matter how good Zhu Yunxi was, he would not give Lan Yu any more influence.

Li Zhu Yunwen?

Thinking of Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a trace of kindness on the corners of his mouth. These days Zhu Yunqi often cared for him, and even stayed with him when he was sad. He couldn't deny that he loved Zhu Yunqi a little bit.

Zhu Yunqi's mother's family is not big, and his grandfather is Lu Ben, the minister of Taichang Temple. Although some civil servants also joined forces to support Zhu Yunqi, some civil servants can't make any big trouble in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. It is true that civil servants are needed to govern, and Zhu Yunqi is sincere, filial, gentle and elegant, so he is also suitable to be a benevolent and righteous king.

Daming cannot always conquer, but always needs to recuperate.

But how can Zhu Yunqi keep Sapphire alive? !

Zhu Yuanzhang was in some trouble.

Just when he was in trouble, Zhu Di's figure appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. This son is very like him, brave and resourceful, and he grew up in the military since he was a child, and he was taught by Xu Da. What he does is also a model.

He behaved well these days, and never made any oversteps. Not only did he respect his elder brother, but he was also quite friendly to his nephew.

This son is not bad, if Zhu Di is established, Sapphire will no longer be a problem, Zhu Di doesn't say that he lives in Sapphire, at least he is not afraid of Sapphire.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned some close ministers to discuss in secret, and when they arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and went straight to the center of the topic.

"Now that the crown prince is dead, the eldest grandson is weak and does nothing. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, I am afraid that the world will change. Therefore, I want to make King Yan the heir to inherit the weight of the world. What do you think?"

The people below were shocked. To be honest, they have not lived happily these years. The only hope is that Zhu Biao will take over the position to ease the world, but unfortunately, they can't wait for that day.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to establish Zhu Di, their first thought is that they are not happy. Who doesn't know that Zhu Di is very martial, if Zhu Di is in power, they will be better than they are now.

But they didn't know how to persuade them, and some of them knew how to persuade them, but they didn't dare to speak out. Zhu Yuanzhang's knife is really fast.

But there is one person who is not afraid, a Hanlin bachelor stepped forward at this time.

His name is Liu Sanwu, he shook his head at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly: "I report to Your Majesty, this matter is very inappropriate."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu said calmly: "If the king of Yan is established, may I ask where your Majesty will put the two kings of Qin and Jin, and the eldest grandson is fifteen years old, and he can already inherit the throne."

This sentence is very simple.

But the meaning hidden inside is not simple.

Where to put the two kings of Qin and Jin means that how can there be an elder and a younger one, and won't the royal children fight and kill each other?Another sentence, the eldest grandson can inherit the big position, means that there is an adult son in the lineage of the eldest son, why not stand up?

If the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty established the crown prince, there would be no rules like this. Do you want the future throne of the Ming Dynasty to be accompanied by blood?

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and waved these people back irritably.

He was troubled into the night.

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang burned incense and prayed to God.

Wisps of green smoke rose and slowly merged into the world. Zhu Yuanzhang bowed silently for a long time, and thought for a long time in his heart, and finally made up his mind.

He wants to make his grandson Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.

Then...

Sapphire should be killed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was back when he was young. The Zhu Yuanzhang who fought with the sky, fought with people, and licked blood with the knife head without fear came back.

With gray hair, he slowly straightened his waist again.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's whole body was full of murderous aura. He glanced at the outside world with deep eyes, and said in his heart: It's okay for the eldest grandson to be weak, we are still here, and we will give him a safe and secure country.

Start with sapphire.

Immediately, the resolute Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to fetch the good news from Lanyu during the day. He approved Lanyu and allowed Lanyu to set up a guard in Baixingzhou, trying to stabilize Lanyu first.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about how to do this matter.

Lan Yu had just won a big victory, so he couldn't take it for no reason. Since he wanted to do it, he needed a reason, a reason that could wipe out Lan Yu and others.

next moment.

Ye Sheng's name flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

……

Chapter 204 - Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhen Wu

Ye Sheng, Marquis of Jingning, is Lan Yu's in-law, and he is currently training in Henan. Last year, Zhen Wu captured the Governor of the Guards, Meng Ju, in Beiping.

Coincidentally?
