Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhu Yuanzhang proudly asked his attendant: "How is this world compared to the Yuan Dynasty?"

The servant just wanted to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him, and asked himself and answered: "We know better than you, we have come here bit by bit, and we have cleaned up this world from scratch."

No one knows better than Zhu Yuanzhang how chaotic the world was and how difficult it was for the Han people at the bottom.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes seem to have returned to decades ago, back to the year of drought, then locust plague, and then plague. Within half a month, his father, mother, and eldest brother died one after another, starving to death, and there was no place to bury him.

However, the officials and wealthy households in the city are still living their lives happily and happily.

No one cares about the troubled people in this world.

At first he didn't even think about it, he just wanted to live.

But this world forces you to do evil, force you to fight, to fight, since this is the case, then he follows the will of this world, he comes, he robs, he fights, he comes to fight for the suffering people in this world This is a bright and bright world, he came to kill the corrupt officials who abused the law and bullied others for the poor people in this world.

He let the people in this world, where there is a place to complain about injustice, where there is hope to endure hardship.

Zhu Yuanzhang did it, he brought the Ming Dynasty.

Drive out the Tartars and restore China.

The eight simple words that can make people cry, represent that the Han people are no longer inferior to others, no longer look up to others, and can stand upright.

The wind blew gently, as if carrying the merits and demerits of Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed quietly, never regretted, never regretted.

It's just a pity that Zhu Biao died early and did not leave Daming with the best new king.

……

Chapter 228 - Congratulations to Emperor Hongwu

The wind in Yingtian Mansion in May is soft and hot, but even this light wind seems to have blown away Zhu Yuanzhang's last energy.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body softened, and when the servant who had been supporting Zhu Yuanzhang felt it, his face immediately changed drastically, and he anxiously asked someone to pass on to the imperial physician.

The palace suddenly became chaotic.

The doctor is here.

Zhu Yunqi soon came too.

After a messy and busy period.

The imperial physician and Zhu Yunxuan just came to the outer room. As soon as they entered the outer room, Zhu Yunqi anxiously grabbed the imperial physician's arm, and asked with flustered eyes, "How is my grandfather's condition?"

The imperial physician knelt down with a plop.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's weakness is not due to illness, and I really can't do anything."

If it's not due to illness, then the end is approaching? !

Zhu Yunxuan seemed to have lost his heart all of a sudden, and his whole body collapsed. He is only 21 years old this year. He didn't feel anything when Zhu Yuanzhang was standing in front of him before, but now he realizes that Zhu Yuanzhang is about to collapse. Facing the huge tomorrow, Zhu Yunwen felt his hands and feet go weak for a while.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and shivered. After not hearing the sound for a long time, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head and kowtowed repeatedly.

This movement awakened Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the imperial physician, and asked sadly, "My grandpa... How long is it?"

The imperial physician struggled for a while, but still said the truth: "The shortest is two or three days, and the longest is one or two months."

Zhu Yunwen's heart sank again. He looked at the trembling and terrified imperial doctor, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then thought for a while: "You should rest next door these days so that you can be summoned at any time. Do not let this matter spread.”

The Imperial Physician swore firmly: "This minister will never tell a third person."

"Okay, you go down." After Zhu Yunqi finished speaking, he waved for a court lady to take the imperial doctor down.

After watching the imperial doctor go away, Zhu Yunqi took a deep breath, turned his head and went into the room, and began to take care of Zhu Yuanzhang carefully.

At night, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up faintly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little confused, but he soon realized that he was in his bedroom. Just as he wanted to get up, he heard Zhu Yunwen shout in surprise: "Grandfather, are you awake?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunqi's tired expression, and it was not difficult to guess that Zhu Yunqi had been taking care of him. He smiled at Zhu Yunqi and motioned Zhu Yunqi to help him up.

After Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the bed, he gently patted Zhu Yunqi's hand, looked at Zhu Yunqi's flustered and worried eyes, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, but his expression didn't stretch too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then spoke again to comfort his appointed next emperor: "The emperor knows his physical condition, sooner or later, he will always leave it to you tomorrow, and don't worry, your emperor will arrange it for you." Alright, now that the world is stable and stable, there are no strong ministers in the court, and Grandpa Huang will choose a few ministers who will take care of your life for you. As far as you are concerned, there should be no worries..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's breath became weaker and weaker, and he had to stop to take a breath, and he did not speak again until Zhu Yuanzhang recovered.

"As for foreign enemies, although they have repeatedly attacked the Mongolian Yuan over the years, resulting in the division of various parts of the Mongolian Yuan, their power is still not small, and they still covet the Central Plains from time to time. This should not be ignored, but we have made preparations in the early years to make the kings block the frontier , now that the kings have grown up and won many victories, they can already defend against the enemy, so you don’t need to worry too much, as long as you work harder in the future and don’t slack off, you shouldn’t have any major problems.”

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he patted Zhu Yunqi's hand again, with a slightly smug expression on his face. He thought that his arrangement as the second emperor was better than the founding emperor of all dynasties.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "Yes, grandson will definitely work hard in the future to make Haiyan River clean and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

He knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang did all these years was to let him sit on the throne safely. He was moved and ashamed by this, especially when he thought of his many uncles.

Speaking of those uncles, they are really extraordinary, they put a lot of pressure on him, and even look down on him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi suddenly thought of something he had been worried about all along, and his face became a little tangled.

"What are you worried about? There's no need to be like this. Let me help you out with your ideas." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said, "The captives are not calm, and the kings can resist them. If... If the kings are not calm, can they be resisted if they are familiar?"

As soon as these words fell, the room suddenly fell silent.

It seemed that the breathing of both of them could be clearly heard.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dazed, as if he had never thought about this issue, he valued family affection, and he didn't want his relatives to kill each other after his death, but he had to admit that what Zhu Yunqi said was not impossible at all.

After pondering for a while, he asked back, "What do you think?"

Zhu Yunqi was taken aback for a moment, he who asked the question became the one who answered the question for a while, which he did not expect, but then Zhu Yunqi's heart trembled, he clearly realized that if the answer to this question was not good, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang did it for To prevent relatives from crippling him, he dare not think that Zhu Yuanzhang does not have this ability when he is lying in bed.

How can I answer?

Zhu Yunqi hadn't thought about this problem before, and it was a bit unsolvable. If you can't kill each other, you can't help it.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be in a hurry, he waited quietly for Zhu Yunqi.

After Zhu Yunzheng thought it over clearly, he opened his mouth and said: "Embrace it with virtue and rule it with etiquette.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly, and sighed: "It's so good, there's nothing more appropriate than this."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had his own selfish intentions in entrusting the kings. He thought that if the emperor's stupidity caused chaos in the world, the other children of the Zhu family could take advantage of the situation and continue the Zhu family. Otherwise, he would not stay , If the emperor is deceived by the courtiers, the kings can raise troops to fight against the Qing emperor.

Moreover, the kings can also help the center to suppress the powerful generals in the army, so as not to cause chaos in the army.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that he would be in chaos when he died, or that he couldn't get into chaos at all in his consciousness.

Zhu Yuanzhang moved his body, found a comfortable position, and said to Zhu Yunqi again: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the kings. We let the kings control the army because we are too cruel to the military. Wait for you With a lot of kindness, all the troops in the court will naturally turn to the court. When the kings are left with only three guards, how dare they rebel against the court? You should be more tolerant to the kings. They are all your uncles, a family It is a good thing to have them to help you defend against the enemy."

Burning text

Zhu Yunqi lowered his head in response, unwilling to let Zhu Yuanzhang see his unbelieving eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was tired after talking for a while, so he patted Zhu Yunqi's palm and motioned Zhu Yunqi to help him lie down.

After lying down, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to let Zhu Yunqi back down, expressing that he wanted to rest.

……

As time passed, it came to June Day in a blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang's body was getting weaker and weaker, and this day felt that the end was approaching, so he summoned the son-in-law Mei Yin and the left servant of the Ministry of War Qi Tai, each to explain to the two After a while, he was ordered to assist Zhu Yunxuan, and then Zhu Yunxuan was summoned to point out some talents in the officialdom, including Fang Xiaoru, who was suppressed by him, and Huang Zicheng, a companion lecturer selected for Zhu Yunxuan a long time ago.

After saying these words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt at ease. He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking about. Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be unable to control his thoughts, and began to flow out of his mind bit by bit. .

Among the lost lakes and lakes, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to turn his head to look at the world again, but he turned his head with difficulty and only saw a few grandchildren and younger sons kneeling below, and none of the older children disappeared. Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry.

He seemed to have forgotten that he did not need to let the kings come to the funeral, and wanted the kings to stay in the fief and stand ready during this turbulent time.

He just felt sad from his heart, where is Biaoer?Where's Ji'er?Where's the boy?

By the way, these children seem to be gone.

What about the fourth child?

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth with difficulty, and said angrily, "Where is the fourth child? Why doesn't he come to see us off? He doesn't want to see us, doesn't he want us to have a last look at him? Why don't so many of my sons come. "

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be no longer an emperor, but an ordinary old man who missed his son before he died.

Zhu Yunwen, who was lying next to Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, heard this, tears streaming down his face. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandpa. My grandson will send someone to inform fourth uncle."

After speaking, Zhu Yunqi got up and ran out.

But as soon as he came outside, he was stopped by Qi Tai, who said to Zhu Yunqi with a sullen face, "Your Highness, the kings must not be allowed to enter the capital at such a time, not to mention that Your Majesty has explained this matter before."

Zhu Yunwen hummed and reacted.

This kind of moment is the most turbulent, and the kings are outside, as long as he stabilizes the situation as soon as possible, even if the kings want to make trouble, he has six armies that can overwhelm others. If the kings stay in the city at this juncture, the kings especially It was King Yan who fought on the battlefield all year round. A coup might send him away.

But Zhu Yunqi wondered: "Then Grandpa Huang misses King Yan, how can he do it?"

Qi Tai's expression remained unchanged, but instead he asked Zhu Yunqi with a resolute expression: "Your Highness, are you sure that Your Majesty has said this?"

Zhu Yunwen immediately understood what Qi Tai meant.

He opened his mouth, but didn't nod his head in the end.

At this moment, the voices of all the princes and grandchildren in the room were wailing loudly, and the attendants beside Zhu Yuanzhang shouted with great grief, "Your Majesty, you are dead."

Zhu Yunwen's face turned pale in an instant, he stumbled into the room, threw himself on the bed, and cried loudly, "Grandfather!"

But Zhu Yuanzhang never spoke again.

Forever stopped on this day.

In June of the 31st year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died at the age of 71.

He has come and gone in this world, leaving behind a legend for future generations to discuss, study and write.

……

Peking City.

The bustling army turned around from Kaiping and came back. This time it was a disappointment, but for Zhu Di, knowing that Zhu Yuying was pregnant could also make up for the excitement of being swept away this time.

He does not deny that he loves his eldest daughter a little bit. Anyone in this world will have more affection for his first child, which is the testimony of his first fatherhood.

Zhu Di originally wanted to go to Zhen Wu's house directly, but he thought that Zhen Wu still had to go to the barracks to deal with some matters. Even if he was a father, it would be inappropriate for him to rush in, so he had to give up and go back to Yan Wang's mansion first.

After returning to Prince Yan's mansion, Zhu Di washed up briefly, and then went to the sleeping hall. As soon as he approached the sleeping hall, Zhu Di saw Xu Miaoyun and his eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, teasing his little grandson Zhu Zhanji who was only a few months old. With a burst of joy, he stepped forward and hugged the little grandson lovingly in his arms.

He also had to admit that he liked this little grandson very much.

Speaking of it, he never thought of rebelling, but he especially wanted to be the emperor, which is not contradictory, and to put it bluntly, it is legal inheritance.

Zhu Di is very obsessed with legal inheritance, especially in the past few years, he has been thinking about it day and night, and even looking forward to it every day. As a result, the night his little grandson was born, he actually dreamed that his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a big gift, and said to him 'The grandson handed down from generation to generation will prosper forever'.

What is Dagui? It represents rights. It is self-evident what Zhu Yuanzhang meant when he gave him the rights and said those words to him.

He had been thinking about this for more than a month, and when the news of the death of Jin Wang Zhu Yan came, after he was sad, he thought of this dream again, and instantly became excited.

He becomes the eldest son.

Don't these signs prove that he has a chance to become emperor?

Especially in these years, under his performance, Zhu Yuanzhang often praised him, and sometimes he praised him violently. Is this just to tease him?

Whose father would tease his son like this, and even draw big cakes for his son to eat, isn't this sick?

At this moment, he felt that he definitely would not.

Therefore, Zhu Di cherished this grandson very much, and even regarded this grandson as a symbol of auspicious omen. After holding him in his arms for a long time, he turned his head to Xu Miaoyun and said, "Yuying is pregnant with a child, why didn't you go and see it? See what's missing over there, you help prepare, and there are some supplements, Yuying's body is weak, so don't be careless."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, feeling that since having a grandson, Zhu Di has become a little younger, as if with the birth of his grandson, God gave Zhu Di a little more vitality.

"I've been there a long time ago, and I went to talk to Yuying yesterday, Yuying is doing well, don't worry, Your Highness, I see Yuying smiling every day, she looks a bit like her when she was a child, but Yuying is very happy .”

"That's fine."

Zhu Di nodded, and then asked Zhang, "Where's Gao Chi? Why didn't you see him?"

Faced with Zhu Di, Mrs. Zhang was still a bit cautious, stood up and said, "A few days ago, there seemed to be a problem with Zhuangzi of Juntian, and Shizi took people down to investigate."

"What's the problem, he needs to go there in person."

"It seems that the hundreds of households in the village have coerced and coerced a lot of military fields under his name, but let the military households in the village help him cultivate them, but they did not benefit the military households, so they were reported. "
