Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

"Okay, do you have anything else to ask? Questions related to your royal family, 1000 taels of silver each, and questions concerning the world, 1 taels."

Qu Jie thought for a while.

I feel like I still have to clearly mark the price.

In the future, we must abide by the principle and cannot just answer whatever they ask. Ask a question and answer a question.

Never go off topic.

There is an extra charge for talking off topic, and you have to find ways to make up for the lost power of your soul during this period through food, otherwise you will suffer a big loss.

As for being promoted and becoming a national counselor, she has a lot of things in her belly anyway, so she is not afraid that Lao Zhu will not be tempted.

"I'll wait until I get back to think about it!"

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang still has many questions to ask, but the information he has learned so far is enough for him to sort out for a long time. Asking too many questions will make his mind more confused, so he must wait and ask again.

After finishing speaking, he gave Zhu Biao a few more words.

Then he hurried back.

After returning to the palace, he apparently rested early, but in reality he had been lying on the dragon couch without sleeping. His mind was constantly thinking about what Qu Jie said today, translating what she said into the history books, and weighing the future based on the current situation. Is it possible to happen, and why would it happen?

'Things that are too far back are difficult to predict, but some events in the next ten to twenty years are still easy to analyze.

If Biaoer really died of illness in my later years.

Then I will start a big case again and try to kill a group of military officers and nobles who are beyond the control of Yunwen's grandson. It is definitely something I can do. After all, when Biao'er was alive, I was trying to kill those who were not controlled by Biao'er. Control, or may not be able to control the founding hero.

This development fits my character.

Yunzhen's grandson has always been educated by civil servants. Biao'er was young when he died, and I am already old. I certainly don't have much energy to teach him the ways of the emperor myself. After he succeeds to the throne, he is bewitched by civil servants and cuts down the vassal vassal, which should be considered reasonable.

But by then the civil servants will inevitably gain momentum, and I have destroyed too many military officers and nobles, and I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the civil servants.

When the time comes, culture will inevitably be strong but force will be weak.

If Lao Si rebels, there will definitely be other vassal kings willing to help, and there may even be many military commanders who are not willing to accept the weak and secretly assist in the affair. After all, Lao Si has great martial arts, and he is not a civilized emperor at first glance. .

At that time, the military commander Xungui will be able to rise again.

Reinforce the civil servants.

This aspect is definitely in the interest of the remaining military commanders and nobles, so they are definitely willing to help the fourth child.

If you think about it this way, many things will become easier to understand! '

It has to be said that although Zhu Yuanzhang was illiterate at the beginning and could not read a word, he never stopped learning later. In terms of his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, he may not be as good as civil servants, but a person's IQ and level of thinking are It is not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics.

Knowledge and understanding gained from practice.

Far more profound than learning from books.

So he calmed down alone at night, and after careful consideration based on the information and clues provided by Qu Jie, he finally clarified the factors behind many things.

Zhu Di could not succeed in Fengtian Jingnan so smoothly.

It is not only related to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang basically killed all the capable generals before his death, but also related to the fact that the remaining military generals were unwilling to accept Zhu Yunwen's heavy use of civilian officials to suppress Wu Xun, and some Wu Xun went out to assist privately.

As for which ones were assisted and which ones were not, it depends on which ones were promoted and which ones were demoted after the Jingnan crisis.

Although Zhu Di killed many old officials of Jianwen.

But the treatment for those who contributed to the Jingnan crisis was still very good.

At least he's more reliable than his father!

……

That night, the entire Yingtian Mansion was actually not very peaceful. The civil and military officials in the court were all frightened, not knowing who the current emperor's butcher's knife would fall on.

After all, it's not a secret that Hongwu likes Zhu Lian.

On the contrary, it is something that everyone knows.

As a former prime minister, Hu Weiyong still served as prime minister for seven full years. Even if the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were not aligned with him, they could not have nothing to do with him.

In comparison, those who had offended Hu Weiyong and were demoted were all relieved.

They should be fine.

After all, he didn't even kill his enemies.

Maybe it was because everyone was too worried about their own safety, and because Zhu Yuanzhang was so violent, no one dared to secretly watch how he destroyed and raided the Hu Mansion.

So the matter about the white parrot has not been leaked.

Except for the Zhu family father and son, the others who knew about it were either dead or staying in Zhao Prison.

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang was not affected by what Qu Jie said yesterday, but continued to carry out a comprehensive execution against Hu Weiyong's party as planned.

Of course, he didn't do it all at once. He slowly expanded the scope of the execution, like boiling a frog in warm water.

After all, if he really kills more than half of the founding heroes, military generals, and so on, no matter how stupid or slow those guys are, they will still be able to see that he is killing the donkey.

The cunning rabbit dies and the running dogs are cooked.

Even if some people may not resist by then, it is certainly impossible for everyone to resist. If one-third of the people resist and make a fuss, it will definitely not be good.

So Zhu Yuanzhang took his time and checked slowly.

First eradicate the main forces of Hu Weiyong's party, and then gradually kill other forces. Kill a few today and a few tomorrow. When the military commander's strings are tightened, something may happen if he continues to kill, so press the button first. Not to mention, delaying it for several months or even a year and a half would delay it.

Anyway, he can live at least until the 28th year of Hongwu.

There's plenty of time, don't be in a hurry.

In other dynasties, especially the Song Dynasty, if the emperor wanted to do this, a large number of ministers would definitely oppose the plea. But in the Hongwu period, not many officials dared because they were really afraid of being killed.

Whoever lives to old age will be safe and secure.

Everyone must go back quickly to offer sacrifices to their ancestors for blessing.

If other matters were involved this time, Li Shanchang and others might be able to stand up and give some advice, but Hu Weiyong was recommended by Li Shanchang, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Hu Weiyong even regarded Li Shanchang as his benefactor, so, Now Li Shanchang has too much time to take care of himself. He is afraid of being implicated, so how can he dare to persuade him!

Therefore, today's morning court was almost all about Zhu Yuanzhang, and few civil and military officials in the court dared to speak.

At the end of the morning court, all the officials went down to court in fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to the East Palace again.

They also cleared the place first and took Zhu Biao alone to see Qu Jie in the side hall of the East Palace. At the same time, Qu Jie was feasting on the delicacies from the small kitchen.

Although the big fish and meat are not particularly exquisite, they taste good, and they are more suitable than those exquisite side dishes for replenishing the power of Qi and blood and slowly restoring the soul.

"Since you can travel hundreds of years later to watch the history of the Ming Dynasty, do you have the ability to treat illnesses and save people, such as Xiongying, my first wife, and Biao'er?"

Zhu Yuanzhang today is obviously different from yesterday.

He didn't care about the future.

I just want to ask Qu Jie if there is any way to cure the disease?
