Chapter 416: Characterization and Searching
In the early afternoon, Yun Xi met Zhu Di, who came to surrender, in his big tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since Zhu Di has surrendered, he will not pretend to be an uncle in order to show any 'backbone' and 'aesthetic value', and immediately kneel down after seeing Yun Xi and claim that he deserves death.
And Yun Xi was quite angry at Zhu Di's rebellion out of a variety of considerations, but he didn't say too much to Zhu Di, and just accused him of rebellion with righteous words.
Then Yun Xi gave an order, ordering Xu Huizu to lead the troops, and at the same time take Zhu Di to recruit Beiping City.
On the seventh day of November, Yunxi learned that Zhu Gaochi, who had stayed in Beiping City, surrendered on the fifth day of November, and the rebellion in Hebei ended.
On the same day, Yunxi also got the news that the rebels in Jinan City had civil strife after seeing Lu Yuan who was captured alive and hearing that Qingzhou and other places had been lost.
So far, although there are still some prefectures and counties in the area of Dongchang Province occupied by the remnants of the rebels, the main forces of the rebels have all been surrendered or destroyed, and all the famous rebel generals have been killed or captured, and the rest have become rogues, so there is no need to worry. It can be said that this rebellion has been put down.
After the rebellion is put down, it is natural to deal with the relevant follow-up matters. The most important of these is not the disposition of the rebels, nor the reward for meritorious deeds, but a thorough characterization of the rebellion.
Shandong's rebellion, after the interrogation of the captured military generals of the former Qi King Sanwei, got a real answer. Yun Xi felt that this true answer could be announced, so he used it as a reason to announce it to the public and record it in the history books.
But Xie Cheng's reason for rebellion, Yun Xi couldn't cry or laugh after learning the true reason. In the end, even if this reason is announced, it may not make everyone believe it, so the reason why Yun Xi ordered it to be announced to the public is: Xie Cheng was also an accomplice of Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, and he was afraid that the imperial court would punish him after the rebellion in the Qi Palace, so he followed the rebellion.
As for the Yan army, Yun Xi thought about it and decided not to characterize the matter as a rebellion, but Zhu Di went south without the permission of the imperial court in order to prevent the rebellion in Shandong. As for the few encounters, it was all a misunderstanding.
Although this reason must not be hidden, when the Yan army was besieged in the last two days, as long as it was a military general with more than 100 households, he knew the truth of the matter, but Yun Xi announced it like this, and ordered it to be written into his "Actual Record" and various official history books of the imperial court.
As for the skepticism of the literati, it does not matter. The two important parties, Yun Xi and Zhu Di, are all determined in this way, what else can the literati do? At most, I wrote it down in my diary. Yun Xi didn't care, he just had a reason to explain the past and not affect the unity of the royal family.
Of course, the punishment of Zhu Di is still necessary. Zhu Di himself wrote to resign from the position of King Yan on the grounds that he was old and sick, and Zhu Gaochi resigned as the son of King Yan on the grounds that he was not in good health and could not take on the responsibility. Zhu Gaoxu was first named the prince of King Yan, and then he was crowned King Yan, and got what he dreamed of.
As for whether this reason can fool people who don't know the truth, Yun Xi thinks it's still okay. Zhu Biao Hongwu passed away in the twenty-fifth year (1392), Zhu Fan passed away in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1395), Zhu Li Hongwu passed away in the thirty-first year (1398), this year is the first year of Jianye (1399), according to the practice of his three elder brothers, he should die in two more years, what is strange about his poor health now! Although in history, Zhu Di lived for more than 20 years.
As for Zhu Gaochi's poor health, he is famous, and he can fool the past.
However, there are still people who have different opinions on letting Zhu Gaoxu inherit the throne. Xu Huizu found Yun Xi and said: "Your Majesty, although the King of Gaoyang County is brave and resourceful, and is good at leading troops to fight, he is a bit tyrannical, and he is also an unruly figure in his bones. ”
Yun Xi certainly knew what kind of person Zhu Gaoxu was based on his performance in history, but he had no choice. The reasons announced to the public are nothing more than fools, and everyone knows the truth. And Zhu Gaoxu has made a lot of contributions in the counterinsurgency, and he is the only one of Zhu Di's three sons on the side of the court. And since Yun Xi did not declare Zhu Di's rebellion, he had to appoint a Yan king. So it can only be Zhu Gaoxu.
However, Yun Xi said: "Xu Aiqing, I know this. ”
After deciding on the characterization of the rebellion, it stands to reason that the next step should be to reward the rebels for meritorious deeds or dispose of the rebels, but Yunxi did something that made many people wonder.
Yun Xi ordered: Find a father and son in the three guards of Yanwang, the father's age is about thirty to forty years old, the son's age is sixteen years old, the father and son are both in Yanwang Sanwei at this time, the father is about a hundred households in the official position, and the son is an ordinary soldier. In addition, both father and son have the surname Sun. "You must find it, live or die." Yun Xi said.
And Yun Hee was very nervous when he gave this order, and his facial expression completely revealed his nervousness. Even Wang Xizai, who has been following Yun Xi, is only seeing Yun Xi's expression for the third time. The first time was when he learned that Concubine Lu was going to kill him, and the second time was when Zhu Yuanzhang was urgently notified to return from the ancestral tomb in Sizhou before he died. Even this counterinsurgency, he did not do this when he learned that Zhu Di might rebel.
After Yun Xi gave the order, the people of Yan Wang Sanwei naturally began to figure out who met Yun Xi's conditions. Then a father and son were revealed.
"What? Your Majesty wants to see me and my son? How can it be! Sun Shao, who was queuing up to eat under the supervision of Yulinwei's soldiers, fell to the ground with his son Sun Rui, but he didn't realize it: "How can Your Majesty find the two of us!" He couldn't believe it.
In fact, not only did he not dare, but even Zhang Yu, who came to deliver a message to him, couldn't believe it at first. Zhang Yu because his eldest son Zhang Fu was on Yunxi's side, although Zhu Di trusted him on the surface, he didn't let him do important things, so he never had the opportunity to show his face before.
However, Zhang Yu heard Yun Xi's order with his own ears, and at that time, Yun Xi called all the people above the command of the three guards of Yan Wang to give an order.
Zhang Yu said: "That's right, Your Majesty is talking about your father and son. Don't wait in line here for dinner, come with me to see Your Majesty. ”
Then Zhang Yu took Sun Shao, Sun Rui, and his son, who were a little confused, to Yunxi's big tent.
