In the first year of the establishment of 'P'*WXC'P'P'*WXC'P', on the first day of April, an earthquake occurred near the capital, which destroyed several houses and killed and injured more than 100 people.

The next day, Emperor Jianwen issued an edict and ordered hundreds of officials to speak out.

The content of the edict is very straightforward, the heavens send disasters, it must be that I, the son of heaven, have not done enough, everyone give me more advice, and I will definitely correct it.

In the feudal era, whenever there was a natural disaster, such as a solar eclipse, an earthquake, a flood, etc., the emperor had to carry out criticism and self-criticism.

It is not to the extent of sinning oneself, but the attitude must be correct.

The emperor's attitude is good, and the officials will be negligent according to the situation, and it will be clear that the heavens will send disasters, not that the emperor is bad, but that the ministers are at fault.

If the emperor's attitude is not good, then it will be embarrassing, and the various departments will definitely be so angry that people will vomit blood when they move their pens.

Emperor Jianwen was willing to be cruel to his uncle, but he treated the court officials very favorably.

After the edict, the Manchu Dynasty pondered for a while, the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and he must also be kind. After discussing it in private, only the Metropolitan Procuratorate gave a few painless notes. Before the slackening, the imperial envoys of the left and right sides of the Imperial Court conducted a strict review to determine that there was nothing wrong before submitting it to the emperor.

It stands to reason that the emperor criticized himself, and the ministers set up a ladder, waited for the emperor to come down, and then properly handled the post-disaster work, and the matter was over. No, King Yan, who was far away in Beiping, was still worried about state affairs and concerned about his nephew when he was sick, and sent a fast horse to send a piece of music, which caused a lot of waves in the court.

Yan Wang's words are very polite, but the meaning expressed is quite unkind.

The calamity sent down from heaven must be a warning to the emperor. The emperor ignored the affection of his relatives, fabricated charges to persecute his uncle, the king of Zhou worked hard in the southwest, and the family of the king of Xiang went to see the emperor of Daxing, and it was reported that the emperor also ordered to picket the lawlessness of the king of Min and the king of Qi, and the will to ask the guilt was ready.

At the end of the song, King Yan also quoted a passage from the "Book of Rites" to express his heartache.

What is human righteousness? Father's kindness, son's filial piety, brother's goodness, younger brother's righteousness, women's listening, Changhui, Youshun, Junren and loyalty.

Father and son are filial piety, and the blessing of the family is also. The Lord is a saint and a sage, and the blessing of the country is also. Otherwise, there will be trouble.

His Majesty's treatment of his relatives like this was done by a holy monarch? Or was His Majesty just deceived and bewitched by the traitors of the DPRK and China? In this case, let the traitor be put to death......

didn't wait for the song to finish reading, Emperor Jianwen was already pale.

King Yan's letter is simply pointing at his nose and scolding him for being unkind and unjust, and being unrelated and ruthless. For relatives, what do you advocate to restore the weekly etiquette, and what kind of benevolent king!

If Emperor Jianwen does not admit that he is ruthless, he must be bewitched by a traitor and biased to listen to and believe!

Two words directly on the face, faint gentleman!

It was originally a big thing, but it was stirred up by King Yan like this, and the emperor suddenly couldn't get off the stage.

He was so angry that his ears smoked and he couldn't hold King Yan accountable, it was he who personally issued an edict asking for bluntness, and if he was punished for his words, he would really implement the crime of the faint king.

Since Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, there have not been many happy days, and there have been many unhappy days. After going down, he drove directly to the Jinshen Palace, he needed to calm down, and by the way, he was the fourth uncle, and it was too difficult to deal with.

After waking up, Emperor Jianwen finally realized how stupid it was to let King Yan return to Beiping! Make up your mind to wait until the day of Emperor Hongwu's sacrifice, and King Yan will start immediately after entering Beijing.

This time, we must not return to the mountains and add to our own blockage.

It's a pity that Emperor Jianwen woke up a little late, his uncle's life and fighting-experience are much richer than his nephew's, and Emperor Jianwen's abacus is doomed to fail.

However, on the third day, the second copy from Beiping arrived. Knowing that the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi would enter Beijing to worship in place of the seriously ill King Yan, Emperor Jianwen sat for a long time and swept away all the notes on the table.

The eunuch palace people who were waiting knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to come out.

Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, also received a letter from Princess Yan, who did not say anything else, only that Zhu Gaochi and the three of them arrived in Beijing in May, hoping that the uncle could take more care of him.

If the letter was written by King Yan, Xu Huizu would definitely ignore it, but the letter was written by Princess Yan, and the whole article only talked about family affection and not politics, and Xu Huizu would be unkind if he refused.

"Big brother, my nephew has entered Beijing, so we naturally have to take care of it as uncles."

Compared with Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou is more inclined to King Yan.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the heavy corruption of Confucianism and light military attaché, the one named Fang Xiaoru, led a group of Hanlin to encourage the emperor to restore the Zhou rites all day long, and the nobles of the court who started with martial arts have long been dissatisfied, let alone the families who married the vassal king.

People's hearts are so strange, Emperor Hongwu killed a large area, and no one dared to complain. Emperor Jianwen rarely engaged in punishment, and he even had to worry a few words about what he couldn't beat.

Princess Yan and Princess Dai are both members of the Xu family, and now the princess and the princess are living a hard life together in Shu, Princess Yan is also worried about it, Xu Zengshou's resentment against Emperor Jianwen is like a bamboo knot, and King Yan's recital is the first to applaud.

The emperor who is also corrupt and corrupt should have been scolded a long time ago!

"Fourth brother, let me think about this matter again."

Xu Huizu frowned, and Xu Zengshou slapped the table case dissatisfied, "Do you want to think about this too?" The eldest brother also has to disregard family affection like the emperor? ”

"Presumptuous!" Xu Huizu was furious, "How can you speak disrespectfully to Your Majesty!" ”

"Tsk!"

Xu Zengshou pursed his lips, not taking Xu Huizu's anger in his eyes at all. Having been rolling in the mud together since childhood, crawling on the school field, and charging on the battlefield, the brothers know each other too well.

Xu Huizu is not really angry, Xu Zengshou has no fear.

"Big brother, how the emperor is with King Yan, let's not talk about it. The princess is our relative, and so is our nephew. What kind of life is the second sister living now? The eldest sister sent a letter to entrust her nephew to us, if we don't care, are we still human? How did my father ask us when he was dying, do you still remember my eldest brother? ”

Later, Xu Zengshou's eyes were already red. The majestic Governor Zuo on weekdays was speechless in front of his brother today.

Xu Huizu was silent, and the fist on the table clenched violently and smashed it hard.

With a bang, the legs of the mahogany table were embedded in the floor tiles, half an inch.

The dark tide in the city of Nanjing was surging, and the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi also set off on the scheduled day, bidding farewell to King Yan and Princess Yan, and the prince's prince and the prince of the county were all exempted from the honor guards, and took the accompanying escorts to Nanjing.

Considering Zhu Gaochi's body, King Yan ordered the palace to work and renovate the frame of the prince with craftsmen, and the tent was one level lower than the prince's frame, and the ladders and horses pulling the carriage were all according to the emperor's grandson system. The doors and screens in the tent are all painted red. Mattresses, chairs, mattresses, curtains, and red curtains are all regulated by the prince.

In order for Zhu Gaochi to sit more comfortably, Princess Yan personally inspected the placement in the car, thickened the mattress, removed the armrests, and increased the chair backrest, and was barely satisfied.

According to the system, the king of the county has no chariot, only an ordinary frame, and the height and size are inferior to the frame of the prince, and the elephant chariot of the king of Yan cannot be compared.

Zhu Gaoxu was accustomed to riding horses, so he simply did not need the frame. Zhu Gaosui also did not want to ride with the prince, and planned to ride a horse with his second brother.

Princess Yan couldn't resist her son, so she had to turn to King Yan for help.

King Yan waved his hand, what horse to ride, ride in a car! Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were not given a chance to appeal and defend themselves at all.

So, after the big car of the prince Zhu Gaochi, he followed a small car of the county king.

Zhu Gaosui planned to be a bachelor to the end, but he didn't give Zhu Gaochi face, abandoned the comfortable RV, and ran to squeeze the van with Zhu Gaoxu.

The three brothers are like this, King Yan and Princess Yan both have a headache. King Yan had to let out cruel words, how to leave it at home for the time being, when you arrive in the capital, you must twist it into a rope, if anyone dares to rebel in the nest, don't blame Lao Tzu for whipping it!

Emperor Hongwu was accustomed to using whips - whips - people, and once used to be in court - smoke - death ministers. King Yan inherited his father's character and hobbies, and other people's families are filial sons under the stick, and when they are changed to the old Zhu family, they see the truth under the whip.

King Yan said cruel words, and the three brothers were all honest.

Zhu Gaochi sat in the car, two eunuchs were waiting, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui were sitting in the frame of the county king, and the brothers were chattering, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

The accompanying escort of eight hundred is placed on the surface, and secretly, King Yan also has arrangements, but it can't be for outsiders.

Shen Xuan and Ni Qianhu, the right guard of Yanshan, shared the responsibility of the chief of the guard, and the two rode on horses, one in front of the other, sending scouts from time to time along the way, investigating everywhere, and also drew a simple map, and the city defenses along the line were marked. Looking at the situation, it doesn't look like escorting the Zhu Gaochi brothers into Beijing, but it seems like preparing for a future war.

During the break, Meng was called to the frame of the King of Gaoyang County, the front door was pushed open, and the childish Zhu Gaosui didn't need the eunuch to pass the word, and directly beckoned him in, "You are Meng Shishilang?" I've heard my brother say about you, come in, I have something to ask you. ”

Meng subconsciously turned around, Shen Qianhu was on guard in front, and Ni Qianhu was nearby, but the two were not familiar with each other.

"How?" Zhu Gaosui saw that Meng was not moving, and his expression was impatient.

Knowing that this person is not easy to mess with, he must follow along, Meng hurriedly said: "Humble and obey." ”

The words fell, stepped on the ladder, jumped on the car, and the movements were quite neat.

The space inside the kiosk is not small, and it is quite comfortably furnished. Gao Yangjun was boredly flipping through a military book and yawning leaning against the railing.

Zhu Gaosui called Meng here also because he was bored. happened to learn about this Meng Shishilang from the mouth of Wang Quan, who accompanied him, and he was so interested that he simply called to relieve his boredom.

The princes and grandsons, as long as they don't kill people and set fires, no matter how willful they are, others can only bear it.

"You were a boy before you joined the army?" When Zhu Gaosui smiled, he would show two tiger teeth, "How can you think about joining the army?" Doesn't the reader look down on the military? ”

When it comes to reading people, unconsciously pouting, it is conceivable that there are definitely prejudices.

"Back to Gongzi, there is no way to be humble." Meng smiled bitterly, "The humble father and two brothers were killed by the Tartars, and the humble ones also have to support their widows, take care of their brothers' widows and nieces, and join the army to avenge their father and brother, and also to find a way to live for the family." ”

"Oh." Zhu Gaosui nodded, as if he was touched by Meng's words.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the military book in his hand and supported his chin with one hand, "I heard that you have dozens of acres of good land in your home, and you were forced to join the army because of the occupation of the clansmen, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to the county king, the land of the humble family is sold to the clansmen after the price."

Meng Zhilu said that the King of Gaoyang County could say this, and the details of it must have been understood very clearly, but he couldn't admit it in one bite. How is it a matter of the clan with Meng Guangxiao's family, even if they are strangled to death, they are all surnamed Meng. What's more, admitting that he was forced to join the army because of the clansmen's occupation of land and property, and the righteousness and filial piety of avenging his father and brother are untenable.

Zhu Gaoxu is not as simple-minded as written in the history books. It is true that he did not inherit the strategy of King Yan, and he is not as good as Zhu Gaochi's scheming, but it is only relative. Fengzi Longsun, who is also the grandson of Emperor Hongwu, how simple will it be?

Without figuring out his intentions, he had to be careful when speaking.

"You're good." Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "No wonder Master Dao Yan said you are smart. ”

"Don't dare." Meng pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of the clansmen, presumably the county king is already clear. But when he joined the army, the clan also sent money and food, and the clan elders also promised to take care of their families. What the humble man said came from his heart, and he was by no means deceiving the king of the county. ”

"Don't you hold a grudge at all? What should have been your own fell into the hands of someone else, and you don't want to take it back? ”

Meng began to break out in a cold sweat, was this talking about him, or was he referring to something else?

"Back to the king of the county, the humble is still the same sentence, the humble surname is Meng. Besides, even if you don't have the land and property accumulated by your father and brother, it is not useless for you to have hands and feet, so you can naturally find a way to buy a family business, which may not be less than what you have lost. ”

Zhu Gaoxu raised an eyebrow on one side, "Another family business?" ”

"Exactly." Meng also let go of it, "* Eight wildernesses, the world is so big, why do you only need to focus on the little land purchased by your father and brother? Just like those tartars on the grassland, there is no pursuit in life. ”

"How?"

Listening to what Meng said interestingly, Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up, and Zhu Gaoxu also sat upright.

"My dynasty - Tai - ancestor - emperor is wise and martial, the prince and many vassal kings are also martial arts, the remnants of the Yuan Tartar are always on the side, beaten again and again, still do not learn a lesson, still come the next year, it shows that in fact, they are stupid, and there is no pursuit of life."

After relaxing, Meng's mind spun quickly, put aside himself, and went around Tartar, the topic should be safer.

"The countries of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, the Ancient Tea Horse Road in the Song Dynasty, since the Tai-Zu-, the tribute to our Dynasty has been endless for many years, and the world is far more than just the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the lowly position says that the Tartar is stupid is because of this. ”

"Not just Daming?" Zhu Gaoxu knocked his knee, "What you said is interesting." ”

"It's just a humble opinion."

The words stopped at the point, and Meng closed his mouth and said nothing. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were also silent.

For a while, the interior of the car became quite quiet.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu spoke: "Meng Baihu." ”

"Humble."

"Why don't you go to your father and ask for a favor for you, and then enter the household."

Meng looked up, puzzled.

"With the talent of Meng Baihu, it is a pity to only fight on the battlefield, carry out the imperial examination, and make great achievements as an official in the court."

"The humble deserves not to be praised by the king of the county. The humble is really shallow in learning, and he is used to being a soldier, so he can only thank the county king for his kindness. ”

"Even so, it's not reluctant to be lonely, and it's not bad to be a soldier."

The tone of the King of Gaoyang County was very casual, not as if he was angry, and Meng was slightly relieved.

It seems that this level is over today?

It's too early to stand in line or something.

Yongle was a long-lived emperor who loved to fight, and Zhu Gaochi's position seemed to be shaky, but in fact it was very stable. In the dispute between father and son and brother of the heavenly family, he still has less harmony and is better.

There is Liangguo Gong Lanyu in the front, and there is a university scholar Xie Jin in the back, these two people who are not on the wrong team have been pitted, how can they be virtuous, and they are involved in such a thing, it is purely looking for death.

After withdrawing from the tent of the king of Gaoyang County, Meng Shishilang dared to wipe the cold sweat.

Although the game is a heartbeat, it can be played with the head, which is too exciting.

Before he finished wiping his sweat, another eunuch stepped forward with a smile, and the prince was invited.

Meng wants to cry, is he guilty of Tai Sui?

If you want to cry, you can't cry, the son of the world has to laugh when he summons him, he must laugh!

Don't look at Zhu Gaochi's wide heart, fat body, and easy to talk, it is enough to be noted by him.

Shen Xuan came over on horseback, asked what was going on, and patted Meng on the shoulder, "Take care, the prince is very generous." ”

In normal times, when Shen Qianhu patted him on the shoulder, Meng Baihu would hide in a place where no one was and grin for a while.

Now, he grinned the same, but he just wanted to cry.

What kind of day is this, it's really too tricky.
