Chapter 099: The Argument in the Cage

In the early morning of the third day, the pair of brothers and sisters who were hugging each other in the cage for warmth entered Beiping City with a head of white frost, and when Xia Xun heard the guards show their identities to the officers and soldiers of the city guards who came forward to check, he finally confirmed his judgment: "They are really the people of the Yan Wangfu, these two noble women must be the family members of the Yan Wang, the beautiful woman is the princess of Yan, and the little girl is her sister ......, is she the ** of Xu Guogong?" ”

In this way, the identity of the black-clothed monk who is thin and powerful like a god when he is angry is also about to come out, and the only person who can get along so closely with the Yan Wang's family is the monk Daoyan, the black-clothed monk is Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister of the Yongle Dynasty

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was originally the person he was originally determined to take refuge in, but he didn't expect that now the two would have a relationship in such a wonderful situation. As soon as he knew the identity of the person he had offended, Xia Xun was no longer worried. As long as he shows his identity as King Qi, he can definitely be safe and sound in King Yan's Mansion, what kind of person is King Yan, how can he make trouble with King Qi because of trivial matters.

At the thought of having the opportunity to meet the historical Yongle Emperor soon, Xia Xun's heart couldn't help but pound.

For Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di, Xia Xun did not have any prejudice, nor did he have likes and dislikes due to many jokes in later generations. He is a very rational person, out of professional habits, he will make a rational analysis of the information he has and the stories he has heard, according to his analysis, he does not agree with Zhu Di's statement that he has long been secretly against him and conspired to seize the throne.

For Jianwen and Yan Wang, he did not have personal feelings for either party, and it is impossible for him to have any private feelings. If in terms of the development of the country and the nation, Zhu Di is eloquent and strategic, far better than Jianwen. In terms of personal morality, Zhu Di is certainly not a perfect gentleman, and Emperor Jianwen is also not a good bird.

One wants to cut the domain, in order to inherit the Ming dynasty from generation to generation by him and his descendants, and the other wants to protect himself, he is unwilling to be demoted to a commoner, and his nephew gets him to Hainan Island to eat and drink dew. Everyone is the blood of Taizu, you are a wreck to be the emperor, I am already very unhappy just because your father was born earlier than me, you still want to snatch the family property that my father gave me, why?

In terms of "criminal motives", neither of them is a noble or great reason, both are for themselves, and since the reason is not how selfless it is, don't say who is right and who is wrong. And it can't be said who is right and who is wrong, King Yan said that the emperor and queen also had the same move to cut the domain, but his cutting of the domain was only to weaken the military power of the vassal king, and other rights and interests were not touched, and the vassal kings were ruthless to fight to break the net.

However, Emperor Jianwen, who was touted by the civil officials as the most benevolent and filial piety, did not distinguish between virtuous and foolish, and reduced his uncles and their families to commoners, and distributed them to the remote land, eating, drinking, and cultivating the immortals. The uncle who was assigned to Hainan Island, the youngest son was born, his wife had no milk, and he couldn't even afford a wet nurse, and he couldn't eat milk if he wanted to, so he had to take his clothes to the shepherd to change some goat's milk and come back to feed his son. There is also an uncle who was forced to commit suicide by arson with the whole family, if he only seized military power, this uncle would never be so extreme, Zhu Yunwen did a really bad job.

Speaking of rebellion, some later novels commented that Zhu Di had hidden ambitions, and he had long been opposed, but judging from Zhu Di's series of reactions later, Xia Xun didn't believe this statement at all. When Zhu Yunwen attacked the imperial uncles one by one, what did Zhu Di, the king of Yan, do? He sent all his sons to the capital as hostages, in order to confess his loyalty, if these sons were not Zhu Yunwen stupid, in order to cover up his intention to attack King Yan and take the initiative to release them back, there is no possibility of coming back, if King Yan had the intention to rebel, he would definitely not make such a move.

Look at how hasty he was when he raised the army, Zhu Yunwen replaced the garrison and guards in Beiping one by one, and the three guards and horses of King Yan were also transferred, so the poor dagger appeared, King Yan still did not rebel, the only means he took to protect himself was to pretend to be crazy, hoping that his nephew could let him go, in this case, Zhu Yunwen still ordered to take people, Zhu Di relied on a commander who was in battle against the water to tell the informant, and in a hurry, he deceived two generals who brought a large army to besiege the palace into the palace to detain him, Only then did he gather his 800 personal soldiers to pull the flag and rebel.

This prince was forced to this part to rebel, so that he didn't even have soldiers, and finally took the risk of riding King Ning alone and outwitting the military power, which was completely a lucky ending that could not be predicted in advance, if King Ning was wary and even tied him up and sent him to the emperor, he would have been finished long ago

Don't say the weight of the prince's authority at the beginning, just look at the later generations far less than the authority of the prince in the early Ming Dynasty, and even the three guards of the palace have been cut to pieces, how many soldiers and horses did King Ning pull up when Emperor Zhengde rebelled, a waste whose military power has been seriously weakened can pull up so many people and horses, and he has led the border army for more than ten years, Zhu Di, who is eloquent and strategic, and Yao Guangxiao, who is resourceful as his adviser, has long been mixed up with this part under the premise of opposing intentions?

Xia Xun is a policeman, he will not listen to biased beliefs, he will not be emotional, what he needs is evidence, if there is no evidence, he will analyze and reason according to the facts. Understand the problem in an impartial and realistic manner. In his opinion, perhaps the vassal king is an unstable factor in the empire, but at least before Jianwen cut the domain, no prince had ever thought of rebellion, Zhu Di had exhausted all methods, and even used to pretend to be crazy, and the knife was still on his neck, and he had to rebel.

Look at the black-clothed monk in front of him, the records of him in some books are amazing, what Zhu Yuanzhang selected monks for the princes, Yao Guangxiao fell in love with King Yan at a glance, walked up and said to him that he wanted to give him a white hat, and the king added white, that is the emperor's character, Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard it, and the two rebels hit it off, and since then they have begun to plot a rebellion, which is pure nonsense.

Not to mention that the crown prince Zhu Biao was alive at that time, Zhu Di could make his nephew's rebellion, and he definitely couldn't create the rebellion of his benevolent and prestigious eldest brother, in addition, his other two elder brothers were also alive at that time, even if the crown prince Zhu Biao was hanged, this throne would not be his turn anyway, if Yao Guangxiao really had the ability to predict things like a god, and calculated that all those people would not live long, he would not have needed to rebel so embarrassed more than ten years later, if it weren't for Zhu Yunwen himself to make a stupid move, Zhu Di would not have succeeded at all.

Besides, the time, place, characters, expressions, movements, psychology, and dialogues recorded in those books are so detailed that they can be made into movies, how did he know? Did Zhu Di tell him or did Yao Ben a hand beat ~ Guangxiao told him? After becoming the emperor, Zhu Di has always insisted that he is in Jingjing, and he is forced to raise troops to clear the king's side, which is a secret that only the two of them may know, and they will never leak it, so how do others know? It's clearly nonsense.

Even when Zhu Di entered the pilgrimage to see Zhu Yuanzhang, he saw Zhu Yunwen, who had been made the emperor's grandson, and his disrespectful words to him were also interpreted by some people as having long been anti-intentions, but Xia Xun thought that it was the opposite, and then look at the most incompetent conspirator, the most stupid rebel, how His Royal Highness King Ning did it during the Zhengde Dynasty, before he rebelled, he deliberately bought the Zhengde Emperor and the hundred officials in the court, and behaved extremely respectfully, so that many people did not believe it when they heard that he was going to rebel.

If Zhu Di, who is much more shrewd and capable than him, had planned to rebel and was ready to seize the throne of his nephew, would he still be unable to hold his breath and say disrespectful words in front of Zhu Yunwen? He's ready to do the trick? He is not afraid of Zhu Yunwen's army at all? He was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would not know that he was going to rebel? Then why did he pretend to be crazy and stupid like that?

Xia Xun studied criminal psychology, and he thought that Zhu Di was dissatisfied with his father's passing on the throne to Zhu Yunwen but had no objection, so he used such an indignant tone to vent his dissatisfaction. This is actually the same psychology as Lin Bei Xialin's shopkeeper Lin Yang pawnshop couldn't hold back his cynicism when he saw him, if he really had a plan, it wouldn't be like this.

Think about Zhu Yunwen forcing a royal uncle's family to death and exiled the whole family of four imperial uncles, these five imperial uncles are obediently at the mercy, but he has no mercy at all, but King Yan rebelled, his filial piety came, his family affection sprouted, he tearfully took the hand of the commander of the army and earnestly instructed: "Don't hurt Uncle Me" What about this fucking liar?

What he did was to shake Zhu Di's determination to rebel, and told Zhu Laosi: "Put down the knife, don't resist, I don't want to kill you at all." At the same time, he was appeasing the other princes: "Don't rebel with him, you see that I have no murderous intentions towards him, how can I treat you as a thorn in my side?" ”

In fact, there are no eyes on the battlefield, how many times Zhu Di escaped from death, he fought it out himself, and relied on his soldiers to rescue him, the general Zhang Yu died in order to save him, and his second son Zhu Gaoxu was moved by the idea of setting up his second son as the heir after the successful rebellion.

Tie Xuan made a fake surrender in Jinan, secretly set up an organ, and almost stoned Zhu Di to death, Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard about it, and then he was promoted to Tie Xuan's official, and then he sighed at Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng Zhu Laosi's life is big, this is his "Don't hurt Uncle Me?" "He himself is stupid and thinks that others are just as stupid as him, what fool would believe such a naïve political show?

So when Xia Xun wanted to find a way out, the first thing that came to mind was Zhu Di. Not only because Zhu Yunwen is hypocritical, but also because he is hopelessly stupid. Did Zhu Yuanzhang really leave him a capable Wenchen general? Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Jin Youzi, Wang Wei, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, ...... all rejuvenated their political life in the hands of Zhu Di. A few nerds who can only talk rhetorically, he doesn't know anyone himself, who will complain?

Speaking of military generals, there are always people who say that Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the heroes of the tiger generals, but if those heroes and powerful groups are still there, they must be loyal to Jianwen? This is purely a fairy tale of history and politics. What Emperor Jianwen did was to cut down the feudal domain, weaken the status of military generals, and establish a government of Xiucai.

If there is a powerful group of founding heroes, and the royal family is in dispute, they will inevitably look for opportunities to maximize their interests. Once this state appears, the Ming Empire will follow in the footsteps of the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Ming Empire will become a short-lived empire. Even if it is not so pessimistic, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has not yet swept the Mobei five times, and the strength is still there, the Timur Emperor in the West is eyeing him, and Zhu Yunwen is leading a group of waste straw bales to suppress Wu Yangwen, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will also end up in the second generation.

Of course, those heroes do not exist in the group, it does not mean that those good generals under their command do not exist, in the four years of the Battle of Jingyan, how many times did Zhu Di escape from death, and there were many Ming army generals who defeated him, who did Zhu Yunwen reuse? His eldest cousin, Li Jinglong, Daming's number one straw bag. Let a pig lead a group of lion tigers, and then the lion tigers can still exert their abilities?

The most ridiculous thing is that his heart to cut the domain is already known to the world, but he sent to guard Jinling is a vassal king - Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, he is really stupid to read the sage book, I really think that he wears a dragon robe, and whoever he wants to kill and kill whoever he wants to kill has to be willing to say "the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", in this case, Zhu Lu opened the city gate and let Zhu Di enter the city, what else is unusual?

In the end, as the orthodox identity of the emperor, he mastered the land of the four seas, and millions of soldiers, but he was defeated in the hands of Zhu Di, who started with 800 people and only had one place in Beiping. It was precisely because of these considerations that Xia Xun's heart began to lean towards Zhu Di.

But since he got the identity of Yang Xu, his thoughts began to change, the Zhu family's uncles and nephews are fighting for the country, what does it matter to him? Since he also decided in his heart that it was Zhu Di who was suitable to rule the country, and it was Zhu Di who became the emperor in history, so why did he want to be born and die to be a cannon fodder with an uncertain future? Be honest as his rich man, and wait for the country to change hands.

But he never expected that when he wanted to see Zhu Di, he worked hard and didn't go to Beiping. When he didn't want to see Zhu Di, he struggled desperately, fled all night, and finally ...... He still entered the Yanwang Mansion......

The car creaked towards the Yanwang Mansion, and this special prisoner car attracted the attention of the citizens of Beiping. I asked the people of the White Lotus Sect in Beiping to help me search for two days, and Peng Ziqi, who still had no whereabouts of Yang Xu and the others, was wandering around the market boredly, when she suddenly saw a group of cars and horses walking through the market, she glanced at it casually, and walked over without care.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, thought about it and felt that something was wrong, Huo Di turned his head to look again, and couldn't help but open his eyes in shock, although he was locked up in the prison car for two days, and his spirit was a little sluggish, but Xia Xun's appearance was still the same and she recognized it. She never thought that the person who was looking for him thousands of times would appear in front of her with such an image, Peng Ziqi wanted to scream, and immediately closed his mouth vigilantly.

"This guy, what's the trouble again?" As she thought, her feet quietly moved forward with the car.

Yan Wangfu is the palace of Dayuan, and there is a considerable gap with the later Forbidden City, but at this time it is already quite large-scale, as soon as you enter the palace, the prisoner car is escorted along the side of the road to the distance, the high walls on both sides, can only see the gray sky in the corner of the head, Xia Xun suddenly has a feeling: into prison......
