Daming: From the end of Hongwu

He thought viciously in his heart: "Zhu Di, Zhu Di, you are yelling at me every day to punish traitors and traitors. It disgusts me. Since you said that your soldiers are afraid of death and you have to lead them to fight against death, then I will see you this time." what would you do."

……

In Beiping City, Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Di took Zhen Wu, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and other high-ranking generals in the hall to receive Gao Wei, the emissary to persuade them to surrender.

Everyone was curious and didn't understand what the court was doing all of a sudden.

Really convinced?

Should not be ah.

Zhu Di was beating drums even more in his heart, what would he do if the court really suddenly negotiated a peace.

Therefore, after Gao Wei entered the hall arrogantly and arrogantly, Zhu Di didn't have the mind to talk nonsense at all, and asked directly: "I don't know why you are here."

However, what some people said at the scene did not expect that after Gao Wei came in, he first glanced at Zhu Di arrogantly, and then looked around at the Zhenwu generals in the palace. Like finding fault.

Such impolite appearance immediately made Zhen Wu and the others frown.

But this is just the beginning, what Gao Wei said shocked Zhen Wu and others even more.

I saw that Gao Wei raised his head and said in a loud voice: "The Taizu ascended to the throne, and the emperor succeeded him. Unexpectedly, there was a quarrel with the King of Yan, and the emperor sent a large army to attack. I thought that reconciliation is worse than war, and since ancient times, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers The more you understand, the stronger the kinship and flesh and blood, so I put life and death aside, and I came to Beiping to see King Yan in person, and I came to help King Yan understand the righteousness of this monarch and minister."

hiss.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath. What kind of words are these? No one can understand them.

However, at the next moment, Gao Wei's words stunned Zhen Wu on the spot.

Gao Wei's loud voice then rang out in the hall: "In the past, Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors and took refuge in the east. Why didn't King Yan take the initiative to cut off his head and send it to the capital to escort his beloved descendants and dismiss the guards? Righteousness, so it can explain the suspicion with the emperor, and can stop the villain's estrangement, isn't this greater than Duke Zhou? Isn't it good to have such a long history?"

The sound seemed to echo in the hall, and it lasted for a long time.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others were all dumbfounded.

What a tiger's word.

But Gao Wei seemed to feel that Zhu Di and others were moved by his words, and they became more and more enthusiastic: "Since King Yan Daxing Bingjia, although he occupied Beiping, captured Miyun, and Yongping Land, within a few months, he was still in the middle of nothing. How does it compare to the world? It is still vulnerable, and there are only 30 people who agree with the king of Yan. How is it compared to the world? What's more, the king of Yan and the emperor are both monarchs and ministers, and they are also flesh and blood, so why should they struggle so hard to kill 30 soldiers and civilians who are united with the king of Yan? So I also asked the king of Yan to express his apology. I will definitely spare the lives of 30 soldiers and civilians who are in the same heart as King Yan, so that it is in line with the will of heaven and in line with the hearts of the people, and it can also comfort the spirit of Taizu in heaven, if not..."

Gao Wei's words stopped here, and suddenly he couldn't continue.

Because of Zhen Wu who came out with anger, his mouth was full of blood with a punch.

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others all stared at Gao Wei angrily, wishing to eat his flesh raw.

Fooling Zhu Di to offer his head, what kind of fucking nonsense is that.

After Zhu Di offered his head, what about them?

Follow along?

Gao Wei covered his mouth for a while, straightened up again, and still looked at Zhu Di arrogantly: "Does King Yan really want to kill 30 soldiers and civilians in Peking for his own temporary rights? If King Yan took the initiative to cut off the head Sending them to the capital can protect the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and protect the soldiers and people of Beiping. If you don’t go on the right path, do you really want to go your own way? Are you not afraid of the chilling of the soldiers and people of Beiping?!”

Zhen Wu squeezed his fingers, he felt a little regretful, the punch just now was too light.

At this moment, Zhu Di's face was so dark that it seemed as if he could drip water. At this time, it was not suitable for him to take any action when facing Gao Wei's words. Whatever he said, he would seem sophistry. If he was a little careless, it would make people think that he didn't care about Peiping. The lives of soldiers and civilians.

But Zhen Wu had no such scruples.

He stepped forward and kicked Gao Wei away.

But Gao Wei laughed out loud, turned over, and questioned Zhen Wu contemptuously: "Zhen Junma, could it be possible that he became angry from embarrassment and wanted Gao's life?"

After finishing speaking, Gao Wei stretched his head forward: "I heard that Zhenjun horses killed people like hemp on the battlefield. Gao's head is here, you can come and get it."

What Gao Wei said was categorical, and Zhen Wu did not doubt the authenticity of Gao Wei's words.

Zhen Wu knew that Gao Wei thought he would be famous in history like this.

And people like Gao Wei seek this kind of posthumous fame.

He looked at Gao Wei and said in a deep voice: "I don't bother to take your dog's head. Today I just argue with you. Why do you think His Royal Highness Yan raised his army? Your Highness is for the sake of the Qingming of the universe, for The justice in this world is for the future of the Ming Dynasty. If the treacherous officials in the court are not eliminated, even if the 30 soldiers and civilians in Peiping die, they will not retreat half a step. There is righteousness in the present, although tens of millions of people will go, let alone we have 30 like-minded people, therefore, it is necessary to wipe out rape and eliminate evil. If you fail, you will not give up. Do you think you came today to persuade King Yan to fight for his posthumous reputation? I will tell you today that you are dreaming. On the day of Qiankun, when the Ming Dynasty prospers after King Yan eliminated the adulterers, on that day, you will be my sinner through the ages of the Ming Dynasty, nailed to the pillar of shame, and will never be washed away. You will be cast aside by future generations forever. On and on, I'm sure it must be."

Gao Wei opened his mouth to distinguish, but Zhen Wu would not give him another chance to argue.

This kind of person used all the sage books he read on his mouth, and Zhen Wu couldn't win the debate, so Zhen Wu took a step forward, squeezed his fist, and hit Gao Wei's mouth with an ordinary punch.

With this punch, Zhen Wu directly knocked Gao Wei's teeth flying.

"I still want to quarrel with Lao Tzu and your mother."

Zhen Wu complained, and then said loudly to the sergeants on the left and right: "Come on, throw this bastard out of Beiping City for me, and look at it to make his mother feel defeated."

The sergeants came out, they didn't know what to do, they secretly looked at Zhu Di, trying to see what Zhu Di meant from Zhu Di's face.

But Zhu Di remained silent, just kept his face sullen, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Fan Guanghua, who was at the side, understood Zhu Di's intentions. He stood up and dragged Gao Wei out.

Inside the hall.

Zhen Wu pleaded guilty to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, please forgive my humble position for being rude and self-reliant. It is really that guy who bullies people too much, and my humble position cannot be tolerated."

"It's okay."

Zhu Di said something lightly.

After speaking, he got up and walked away.

It seemed that there was endless anger reverberating in the hall, as if it was about to burn into hatred for Zhu Yunqi.

……

Chapter 285 - Big Showdown

In the following days, as winter went to spring, the north wind gradually weakened and gradually turned into a warm spring breeze, but the city of Beiping became more and more lively.

Gradually, all the people in the city heard that a madman had come to the city. He brazenly asked the king of Yan to commit suicide and apologize, and he also collectively referred to all the 30 soldiers and civilians in Beiping as criminals.

Criminal?

This title is too heavy, no one can bear it.

Moreover, all the people in Beiping never thought they had any sins. They lived their lives according to their duties, guarding the border of Ming Dynasty and resisting the iron cavalry from the nomads in the north. He also responded to King Yan's call and did not hesitate to bleed and die. How could he become a criminal?

For a while, the people in Beiping City were excited.

In teahouses, restaurants, houses of various households, and any corner of the street, shouts from the masses began to sound.

They were wronged.

It can be seen that King Yan was also wronged.

Just like what King Yan told the soldiers and civilians, there are traitors in the court, intending to cover up the sky, deceive the emperor, mutilate the loyal and good, and cut off the royal descendants.

How can this work? !

If Lang Lang Qiankun is not there, how can they still have a healthy life.

All the people in Beiping City, regardless of whether they were related or not, began to ask someone to inquire with anger, wanting to know when King Yan would send troops to the capital to fight against traitors. They must have money to donate and contribute.

At this moment, the hearts of all the people in Beiping City were twisted together, and the cohesion that erupted was unprecedentedly strong. Ren Nanjing's court officials and Zhu Yunqi, no matter how they thought about it, they would never have imagined that such a united force could be achieved in a single city.

What is a family?

Living together in Beiping Mansion is a family.

People don't care how the news spread, and they don't think about whether there are people who are behind the scenes to fuel the flames, or tamper with some words to add fuel.

When everyone is united, anyone who does not support it is a reactionary heretic and must be cast aside and isolated.

This kind of atmosphere is a little manic and unstable, but now that Zhu Di and the others have come to this season, no matter what drastic measures they use, they can't be too exaggerated.

If Zhu Yunqi is overthrown, the situation can be stabilized again. If Zhu Yunqi is overthrown, even if Beiping City becomes a powder keg, it has little to do with them.

Seeking the world is not talking about scriptures.

If you want to walk the road, how can you lose fanatical believers.

Master Daoyan smiled with satisfaction after listening to the report on the situation in the city. He and Zhen Wu had a talk about public opinion before, which gave him a lot of benefits.

Just like what Zhen Wu said.

Public opinion is public opinion.

The will of the people is the heart of the people.

People's will is uncontrollable, but public opinion can be controlled and guided.

Thinking of Zhen Wu's words, Dao Yan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and lamented that Zhen Wu was a strange person in the world. Then he fixed his eyes and thought in his heart: "Zhen Wu's eldest son's master, he is determined, who will come?" I can't stop it either."

He really wanted to see what kind of brilliance the boy he and Zhen Wu had cultivated would shine in the future.

It's a pity that he doesn't seem to live that long.

……

The liveliness in Beiping City gradually spread to Zhen Wu's house, whether it was in the farm or in the shop, they were all inquiring about it from the family stewards.

After all, they all know that their patriarch is one of the best figures under King Yan.

If there is any inside information, it must be known immediately.

This is also the reason why many outsiders ask them.

But no matter how much they inquired, the servants in charge of the mansion never said a word to anyone outside the mansion other than whispering to each other.

Even for those who are also under the Zhen family to make a living.

The strict family rules have paid off.

However, this matter greatly increased the interest of the third child. Today, he came to Zhen Wu's study and asked Zhen Wu if there was really a crazy student in Peking.

Zhen Wu was flipping through the Book of Poems, thinking about choosing a good name for his son, after listening to the question from the third child, he closed the book, looked at the third child with great interest, nodded and said: "If you are talking about the one rumored in the city, There is such a thing, and I personally ordered people to throw out of Peiping."

"what?"

The third child was surprised, and asked in disbelief: "Is there really such a naive person in this world? Is he stupid in studying? He dared to go to Beiping to have His Highness commit suicide."

After saying this, the third child thought that Zhen Wu would agree, but to the surprise of the third child, Zhen Wu was a little dazed.

after awhile.

Zhen Wu reacted, turned his head to look at the bright weather outside the window, sighed and said: "I thought it was just a Confucian scholar who was stupid in reading and wanted to gain fame after him, but after investigation, I found out that there are some small things. Look at him."

Ok?

The third child looked at Zhen Wu suspiciously.

Zhen Wu took out a dossier from the shelf behind him and threw it to the third child: "Let's take a good look at it, and learn from this lesson just like me in the future, don't rashly give it to me just because of one incident, one impression or other people's remarks. One person draws conclusions."

The third child took the file and sat aside to read it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhen Wu stood up and stretched his waist. While stretching, he walked to the window and looked at a peach tree outside the window. Among the crisp green leaves on it, he did not know when it had grown. Tiny buds.

The weather is really getting warmer.

Zhen Wu sighed, then turned around and leaned against the window to look at the third child looking at the file. This file was recently found by Zhen Wu, and it contained some deeds about Gao Wei.

Generally speaking, this person values ​​loyalty and integrity more than life, but boldly opposes some Confucian traditions.

Is a more complicated person.

Zhen Wu could completely imagine what Gao Wei said to Zhu Di that day, if Gao Wei was in Zhu Di's position, he would definitely be able to do what he said.

This person is more respectful of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. When he was a child, his mother had been ill, and he took care of his mother until her death. Then he built a hut next to his mother's tomb according to the etiquette system, and strictly kept his filial piety for three years. From this point of view, Gao Wei is not only not a bad person, but also a filial person.

In politics, he also raised the importance of the benefits of fish and salt and metal smelting several times, and opposed some political opinions such as Confucianism's contempt for wealth. Adopting the Tweeting Decree of the Han Dynasty, the princes and grandsons of the northern vassals were changed to the southern land, and the princes and grandsons of the southern vassals were changed to the northern lands. After one or two generations, the power of the vassal kings will not be reduced but will be reduced.

It's just that Gao Wei's power is weak, and Zhu Yunqi's political views have been repeatedly rejected by Zhu Yunqi. On the contrary, Zhu Yunqi admired Gao Wei's character, and he was disgusted with Zhu Di when he chose this person to come to Peking.

Perhaps in Zhu Yunwen's heart, Gao Wei's character is Gao Wei's strength.

At this time, the third child also finished watching, and the third child also praised Zhu Yunqi: "This person's character is really good, at least he is a filial person. Although this kind of person attaches great importance to loyalty and integrity and doesn't know how to be flexible, such a person It really doesn’t make you feel bad.”

"Just these feelings?" Zhen Wu asked.

A look of bewilderment appeared on the third child's face.

Zhen Wu shook his head helplessly. Han people often have this problem. They place too much emphasis on the virtue of filial piety. A filial person like Gao Wei is easy to be filial in the eyes of others, which becomes his biggest highlight. People ignore his abilities.

Zhen Wu took the dossier from the third child, picked up a pen and made a mark on Gao Wei's political opinions, then blew on it, and handed it to the third child again when the ink was dry.

"Take it back and take a good look at the ones I marked, think carefully about the pros and cons of Gao Wei's political views, and ask me if you don't understand anything."
