Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"Hey, you little heartless, I often take you out to play."

"Hmph, Second Sister and the others wash my diapers, you are at best the fifth in my heart."

The third child was so angry that he wanted to pick up Xiao Qi and beat him up. Fifth, listen to what someone said, but the next moment, the third child thought of something and asked curiously: "Then who is the sixth?"

Xiao Qi seemed unhappy at the thought of the sixth person, pouted and refused to speak any more.

"Could it be your sixth sister?" The third child asked tentatively.

In the dark, the third child sat up when he saw Xiao Qi screaming, and then heard Xiao Qi whistling.

"There is no one in the world who is more annoying than her."

Ah.

The third child suddenly became happy.

At this time, Zhang Yuqing was also thinking about something indiscriminately, talking to her husband about his son's future, talking about the eldest girl's marriage, and thinking about the worries of the fourth and fifth children.

After thinking about it, I finally thought of Zhen Wu.

What a blessing to be promoted and relocated.

Zhang Yuqing thought about it, and muttered something inexplicably.

"Is the fire in the kitchen a good sign from God?"

Chapter 057 - A Brief Analysis of Jing Nan

The Ming Dynasty did not have the convenience of sending messages to later generations, and a mobile phone could store the contact information of many friends and contacts.

In this day and age, most of them rely on memorizing addresses. If there is anything to contact, they have to come to the door. Writing letters is a high-end contact method.

After Zhen Wu moved, he needed to inform some of his friends of the new address, so he decided to take advantage of everyone's holidays and invite them to come over to warm up the new house.

Invitation is also a hassle, requiring family-by-family invitations.

And because of the inconvenient transportation in this era, the time for the treats needs to be postponed to allow time for the guests, so Zhen Wu decided three days later.

Only in this way can we ensure that most of the guests can arrive on time, and his family can also prepare food on time.

Zhen Wu rode his horse around the city for more than half a circle, and set up a few more Zhuangzi, and only then did he inform all his acquaintances.

After Zhen Wu returned to the city, Zhen Wu was so shocked by the news that he couldn't take it easy for a long time, and even after returning home, he also went into his room, wanting to be quiet.

Lee Shan-chang, the Duke of South Korea, and his wives, daughters, brothers, and nephews were all executed.

The Hu Weiyong case has been going on for ten years, and it can still be brought out to kill people.

Is this a bloody political struggle?

Although Zhen Wu knew about the "four major cases" involving Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in power, and knew that Li Shanchang would be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but now that he is in this era, he really feels cruel.

This kind of cruelty is no less than the battlefield.

It's even frightening.

For the first time, Zhen Wu began to think about whether he could survive the political struggle if he was lucky enough to survive the disaster.

What kind of political views should he have?

Zhen Wu began to sort out carefully.

If the country is compared to a company, the emperor is obviously the chairman, and the founding lords who accompany the emperor to fight the world are the board members, then the managers and other workers who help run the entire company are the Wenchen Group.

Since ancient times, if the emperor wants to secure the position of chairman and have a greater right to speak, there are two important conditions. At least one must be possessed, one is a meritorious lord, and the other is a royal family member, so that those senior wage earners can't be fooled The emperor, and the emperor wanted to clean up these high-level wage earners, so he cleaned up as soon as he said it.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't trust the Lord of Meritorious Affairs, so he made a drastic cleaning, let his sons sit on the director's seat, and drove them out of the capital one by one for the sake of these sons not causing trouble. In his mind, the sons were neither in politics nor The center, and also checks each other, and can also serve as the emperor's clan arm to check and balance civil servants, so you can rest easy.

But he never expected that his old Zhu's family would still be involved.

Once the two kings of Qin and Jin died, King Yan became the head of all kings, and no one could restrain him except the northeast.

And Zhu Yunqi is still not very smart, he was in a hurry to cut down the feudal clan when he came up.

In fact, cutting down the feudal clan is the trend of the times, and it is also a correct political idea. After all, since ancient times, the feudal kings have caused so many troubles, but he has never thought about how many emperors have been cautious about cutting down the feudal clan since ancient times?

Zhu Yunxuan didn't have any heroes and lords to check and balance the vassal king, so he could only use civil servants, but these civil servants didn't know what they were thinking, and they didn't know whether they were too harshly dealt with by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they rebounded all of a sudden, or what happened. Wang Lai is merciless.

It's a bit of a villain's feeling of power.

But when they did this, the heroes and lords left behind by Zhu Yuanzhang were even more unhappy. Not to mention that the vassal kings married the daughters of these people. dig in.

They were taken care of by Zhu Yuanzhang and they really couldn't splash water, but Zhu Yunqi would always use them when his uncle beat his nephew.

Zhu Di is also smart. After getting the support of these heroes and lords, he fought every battle without any danger.

In the end, after Zhu Di took the throne, the military who fought with him in full swing basically didn't kill anyone, but the civil servants were dealt with badly.

The whole Jing is difficult to come down, just like Zhu Yunqi was played.

Zhu Di sat on the throne with the support of military heroes, so naturally he would not be purged like Zhu Yuanzhang, because he also wanted to cut down the feudal clan. With the help of the military heroes, he managed to cut down the feudal clan smoothly, completely suppressing the power of the clan. down.

Wen Chen's group of wage earners have also started to work honestly.

Zhu Di, the emperor, can do whatever he wants, and fight if he wants to. No one can stop him except for lack of money.

During this period, the generals lived a really nourishing life.

And this kind of result is obvious. If it takes a long time, there is no force that can restrain the generals and lords, and it may be like the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty. sent away.

Civil servants, finally stand up.

Since then, the emperors after the Ming Dynasty had no clan power to rely on, and no lords to back them up. The cabinet has become a colossus. Under such circumstances, the old Zhu's family can still play tricks when they meet capable emperors, and those who are incompetent become puppets. Many emperors even died strangely.

And cleverly pulling up the power of eunuchs, a group of drivers and nannies, can they not make the company a mess?

……

After thinking about this, Zhen Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Is there a policy that allows the clan and the lords to restrain each other, and work together to help the emperor control civil servants.

After all, many civil servants have a group of gentry behind them. They are really wage earners. They don't care who becomes the emperor.

The most shameless thing is to be an official for a foreign race, and it is also flattering to be an official.

Of course, we do not deny that there are good civil servants. If there is a better system, capable civil servants can be better allowed to run the country, so that the emperor will not be unable to deal with party struggles.

Zhen Wu thought about it, but he didn't think of a better policy, so he had to let it go for now. After all, he was too far away, and he might die that day.

But since that day, Zhen Wu has really paid more attention to this aspect.

He wants to make some contributions to this era, and he also wants to make this era more prosperous, and he wants to show these people a glimpse of the world.

Soon, three days flew by.

On this day, Zhang Yuqing and Erxian got into the kitchen early and started to work. This was Zhen Wu's first time hosting a friend, and it was also Zhen Wu's first family dinner since he was promoted to a hundred households.

Therefore, Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yuqing paid special attention to it, and even repeatedly told the other young ones not to run around in the house.

However, I didn't expect that before they were ready, the first customer had already arrived.

After Zhen Wu took Zhang Wu into the middle hall and sat down, he said angrily, "You don't know that it's rude to come to the door early?"

Zhang Wu knew that with his relationship with Zhen Wu, this kind of thing would not affect his feelings, but he still scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"I went to the mountain to pick some wild fruits two days ago. I heard that it is good for girls to eat them. I don't know what the benefits are, so I brought them here and wanted to give them a taste, so I came here early."

Zhen Wu rolled his eyes, he was not stupid, and he couldn't see Zhang Wu's careful thinking.

Zhang Wuleng chuckled: "Is it convenient for me to meet my aunt?"

Zhen Wu smiled brightly: "Want to see?"

Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly.

Zhen Wu shrugged and put the smiling face back: "No way."

Chapter 058 - The Fate of a Bowl of Sweet Water

The time is approaching noon.

At the gate of Zhen Wu's house, colleagues began to arrive one after another. Because Zhen Wu needed to greet guests in the house, he asked the third child to be at the door to help guide the colleagues to the East Courtyard.

When Xue Lu came over, he saw Zhang Wu, but he didn't notice that Zhang Wu's face drooped at this moment, and he frowned and complained: "I was thinking about coming here with you, but when I went to your house, you came here first."

After saying a word, he still felt unwilling, and added: "What's wrong? Does Mrs. Zhen have any flowers at home? I want you to come here early."

The others laughed coaxingly.

Zhang Wu is embarrassed.

And Zhen Wu snorted twice, but didn't make a sound to run on Zhang Wu again.

If he really wants to run, Zhang Wu will always let Zhang Wu find a hole in the ground.

It wasn't long, and the meal was ready, Zhen Wu greeted everyone to move and sit down, because the third child was not too young, so he asked the third child to sit with him and have a drink, making the third child's eyes glow with excitement.

At the dinner table, the third child listened to everyone chatting about things on the battlefield, his heart was surging, especially when he heard everyone talking about Zhen Wu's glorious deeds, he even looked at Zhen Wu with a trace of admiration in his eyes.

These days, there are always people who like to engage in personality cults, there is no way.

With a smile in his mouth, Zhen Wu greeted everyone while joking with everyone. He actually asked the third child to sit with him, but he also had other ideas. He could see that the third child wanted to join the army, so he should introduce him and his colleagues as soon as possible. Familiarity is also of great benefit to the third child. In addition, if Zhen Wuruo really accidentally died, it would be easier for the third child to take his position, so that Zhen Wu would not be left behind.

There are assessments in the hereditary system, but whether the assessment is strict or not is another matter. To put it bluntly, it is the sophistication of people.

They are eating hot here.

Zhang Yuqing from the west courtyard was chatting with a group of children, and the two sages came in with a plate of mulberries. Zhang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "This mulberry grows really well, it's so dark, where did it come from?"

The Erxian smiled, picked out a few big ones and handed them to Zhang Yuqing: "My brother's colleagues gave them, and I brought them when I came to our house for a drink today."

Zhang Yuqing put one in his mouth, and then habitually distributed the remaining big ones to the younger children around him. Seeing the little ones eating happily, he smiled and said to the two sages: "You too Eat it, don't let these debt collectors eat it up."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuqing smiled and said to the two sages: "When it was just you and your brother, your father often picked this to coax you two. I remember that once your brother deliberately picked a lot of red ones for you to eat. You are also stupid." , I didn’t know that the ripe fruit was purple-black, but I just looked at the bright red color, put it in my mouth, and cried a lot at the end.”

Erxian smiled quietly and gently, even when he thought of being teased, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhang Yuqing was very excited about talking, and said: "This mulberry looks like the one in Xiaoling Village."

"It's from Xiaoling Village." Er Xian chatted with Zhang Yuqing with a smile.

Zhang Yuqing became interested and asked, "That kid Xue Lu picked it?"

Erxian shook his head and said: "Brother Xue has such a heart, even if he picked some, he would coax my sister-in-law Lulan. I heard from my brother that the person who came to our house during the Chinese New Year picked these. It seems to be called Zhang Wu."

"Zhang Wu?" Zhang Yuqing thought about it in a daze.

Erxian reminded: "At that time he borrowed my brother's horse, and you saw it with your own eyes when he returned it."

"Oh, he looks honest and honest, he's a good guy."

Erxian smiled, and didn't comment much, she just thought that the man was simple and silly, and it was quite funny.

After a few people chatted for a while.

The fourth sister and the fifth sister suddenly got into a quarrel, Zhang Yuqing glared at him, the fifth sister timidly shrank her neck, but the always bold and forthright fourth sister was not afraid, and said in a daze that she wanted to drink water.

Zhang Yuqing said angrily: "Go pour it yourself, you still want me to serve you."

"But I want to drink sweet water." Fourth Sister said.

Fifth Sister also softly added: "I want to drink too."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi at the side immediately jumped up and shouted, "I drink too, I drink too."

Zhang Yuqing glared one by one angrily: "It's really a group of debt collectors." After all, he turned to look at the two sages and said, "Happy today, you can get them a bowl each."

"Success." Er Xian didn't feel tired, got up and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Yuqing warned from behind: "Remember Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, don't be too sweet."

"I know."

Sweet water is brown sugar water. Drinking a bowl of brown sugar water in this day and age is considered the best, and there are many children in the family, so the brown sugar is hidden tightly, fearing that the children will not be able to control themselves and damage their teeth.

When Xiao Liu heard that she could drink sweet water, she happily pushed Xiao Qi down, and sat up on her buttocks, yelling non-stop, declaring her excitement.

Scared Zhang Yuqing said "Oh my god" and hurriedly pulled Xiao Liu away. Xiao Qi, who was quite happy at first, got up silently and rolled his eyes.

The fourth and fifth sisters had followed Erxian to the kitchen, watching Erxian make brown sugar water for them.
