The emperor drove the army to quell the rebellion without blood, and it seemed that he won but actually lost, if there was a reason to slaughter the Huai Palace, the slaughter of the people of Yangzhou was simply the act of a tyrant.

Although he was dissuaded by the official Shangshu Ru Yu, Jinyiwei had already made a move, and hundreds of people had already died when the emperor ordered to stop it.

Since Taizong ascended to the pole, there is a peaceful situation in Haiyu, such a tragedy can not be covered, Yangzhou is an important place for businessmen to come and go, I believe that it will not be long before it will spread all over the north and south of the river.

Hongwu was bloody and bloody, Taizu killed I don't know how many nobles and corrupt officials, and tens of thousands of people were connected, but the Hongwu Emperor, who was so murderous, never attacked the innocent people.

The evil consequences of Zhu Xiongying's actions in Yangzhou are almost foreseeable, not only will the vassal king endanger himself, but also the people of the world, especially the people of the domain.

Although the emperor remedied it in Yangzhou in time, it was said that King Huai's disgust with victory confused the emperor's mind, and he made a mistake before he made a mistake in his mind.

The new monarch could not repent, so he issued an edict on the same day, beheaded the Jinyi guard who took the lead in slaughtering the city, and personally sacrificed the victims with the respect of the emperor, and also exempted Yangzhou from taxes for three years, and the people of other feudal lands were also exempt from tax for one year.

The slap is already in the face, no matter how sweet dates you give, it's not good to be a fool, even if King Huai is tired of winning, he won't let you kill his whole family.

The emperor went to Yangzhou in a rage, but when he came back, he was gray, and at the same time he brought back an embarrassing rumor, to be precise, this rumor had already existed before the emperor's class returned to Beijing.

The common people also love to chew the root of the royal tongue, as for the truth or falsehood, who cares, anyway, there is no place to research, and no one dares to research, the more you are forbidden to refute, it seems that you are weak-hearted.

But if such words reach the ears of the vassal kings, it will be a different taste, especially those vassal kings of the uncle's generation.

They don't care if their father really picked up the ashes and brought a green hat to the eldest brother, the stinky sweat and dirty Tang doesn't know how many years he has been scolded, and he is not bad for their old Zhu family.

What they care about is that if this rumor is true, then with Zhu Xiongying's age at most, it is not fair or unfair for so many brothers to take your turn to be the emperor Zhu Xiongying.

In fact, those who have a little vision in the DPRK and China know that the first important thing Zhu Xiongying did after he ascended to the pole was to cut the domain, but there was such a big basket in Yangzhou, and the difficulty of cutting the domain in the future is a hundred times greater.

Zhu Xiongying returned to the palace and did not convene the courtiers to discuss countermeasures, but went straight to the Renshou Palace in the harem, which was the residence of the queen mother.

He went straight to the queen mother's dormitory like the wind, and the Chang family in the hall was talking to the Pony Queen and Concubine Zheng Shu. Queen Pony is Lao Zhu's granddaughter-in-law who was personally selected, and she was humble and polite in the early background of entering the palace, and she was also filial to Chang, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a very good relationship.

Although Concubine Zheng Shu entered the palace late, she was favored by Zhu Xiongying, but she was not pampered, arrogant, and scattered wealth, and was kind to others, and was even more respectful to the Empress Dowager Chang and Queen Pony, and had a lot of flattery, and the relationship between the three was quite good.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying breaking in, Queen Pony and Concubine Zheng hurriedly saluted, and the queen and Concubine Shu bowed down together and said: "Your Majesty has returned triumphantly, and the concubine has not been able to meet you far away, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Whether this battle is won or lost, hearing Concubine Zheng Shufei say this, she was even more annoyed and said: "It's okay, the queen and Concubine Shu go down first, I have something to say to the queen mother." ”

The two bowed down and retreated, and Chang also asked all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the dormitory to retreat, and then he spoke: "What the emperor has to say, even the queen and the concubine can't listen to it." ”

Zhu Xiongying stepped forward to Chang's and asked softly, "I can be blunt, please bear with the queen mother." I wonder if I'm the son of Taejo. ”

He obviously knew that he had fallen for Zhu Yunwen's tricks, but he was not practical if he didn't ask. Just like Zhu Yunwen said, he looks too similar to Taizu, and Taizu treats him unusually, far beyond ordinary children and grandchildren.

But as soon as the words came out, Chang raised his hand and slapped him in the face, his voice was loud and crisp, and he saw Chang's willow eyebrows upside down with an angry face, "What kind of person will Your Majesty be!" ”

She beat her chest and cried: "It's just a mess of rebellious ministers and thieves, ignorant people, and indiscriminate contempt, but it's ridiculous that Your Majesty actually believed it and stabbed the mourning family in the heart!" The reputation of a woman in the deep palace is not so important, but the reputation of Taizu and Taizong is not something that anyone can slander, especially Your Majesty! ”

Looking at Chang's heartbroken appearance, Zhu Xiongying also felt that it was indeed a bit hurtful for him to do this, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "I know that I am wrong, the queen mother is angry, don't hurt her body." ”

"Your Majesty whose child is it, Xu Guogong knows best, he has not been pregnant for two years when he mourned his family in the palace. Xu Guogong took Taizong and the mourning family to the villa in Fangshan for recuperation, and Taizong and the mourning family were alone for three months before they became pregnant, whose son do you say! ”

Chang wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "The mourning family and Taizong I husband and wife, although they are not harmonious, but they also respect each other like guests, but they have never thought that they were suspected by His Majesty of Joan of Arc, so it is better to go together when Taizong died." ”

"Don't be sad anymore, the queen mother, I will let Jinyiwei catch those who chew the root of their tongues for the crime of domination." Zhu Xiongying is just talking about comforting the Chang family, where can he catch those people.

"Catch them, if you want to arrest them, go and arrest the initiators, rebels and thieves! Throughout the ages, there are a few Ming monarchs and holy lords who have been praised by everyone and are innocent. Even the great deeds of the Ether Ancestor will not be scolded in the future.

But what can it be, as long as Your Majesty sits well, he will still be the lord of the Ming Dynasty and respected by all the people, and there is no need to be burdened by false fame like Taizong. ”

Zhu Xiongying arched his hand and said: "The lesson of the queen mother is that the child knows what to do. ”

Chang patted his hand and persuaded: "Xu Guogong's status is respectful and he is not greedy for power, and he has in-laws with the royal family and the Chang family, he is really an old and reliable person, why not let him go to help His Majesty cut the domain, it will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said: "I don't think so, the only thing Taizu had to do before he died was to kill him, and said that he was the most dangerous person, how could he be easily released if he was finally trapped." Besides, there is no need to cut the feudal domain now, and the incident of Yangzhou just gave Zhu Di an excuse to be afraid that he would rebel soon. ”

Zhu Di accepted the letter in his hand and said to the messenger who was kneeling on the ground: "You go back and tell King Ning that as long as my brother is here, he will not let the tyrant touch a finger on his head." ”

"Your Highness's words, Weichen must bring it, my prince said that the soldiers and horses you want to borrow are ready to come to your command at any time to listen to orders!"

"Well, he has already said in the secret letter, without further ado, please ask all his soldiers and horses to enter the customs from Juyong Pass."

"Weichen, let's go back to Daning and return to my lord!"

Zhu Di nodded, "Gao Sui, you send King Ning's envoy out of the city." ”

A burly young man who looked very similar to Zhu Di answered, and took the messenger out of the study. Zhu Di closed the door with his own hands and said to the black-clothed monk sitting on the futon: "Everything is as the master expected, my brothers are already in danger. ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled, "With the Duoyan Sanwei under the command of King Ning, the strength of the prince has increased again." ”

"Over the years, this king has controlled many Mongolian tribes with wool weaving, and there is no shortage of cavalry at the first order, and these soldiers and horses of King Ning are just icing on the cake."

Zhu Di stroked his beard and said: "I don't know what the two kings of Qin and Jin think, among the vassals, except for this king, they are the strongest, if they can join forces, it will be enough to fight with the imperial court." It's a pity that the two brothers went early, otherwise the king would have been very sure to convince them. ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "The poor monk doesn't think so, if His Royal Highness's two brothers are still there, they will be on the wall to watch the wind fall down the wall grass, far less than the two juniors who have not seen the world, with the matter of Yangzhou, these two princes are afraid that they will not be able to sleep, and they will never watch His Royal Highness being destroyed by the imperial court." ”

Yao Guangxiao pondered and said: "The poor monk thinks that His Royal Highness's greatest help is not the two kings of Qin and Jin, but in Yingtian. ”

Zhu Di grinned, "What the master said shouldn't be my uncle, then you can count it bad, my uncle is exactly the most against me." During the Hongwu period, he tried more than once to warn the king, and told me that if someone didn't let me be the prince of peace one day, he would take me overseas. At this point, do you think he will support me as an enemy of the imperial court? ”

"At this time and that time, if it was Emperor Taizong sitting on the dragon chair, Xu Guogong would naturally oppose it. But now the new monarch has put him under house arrest in Yingtian in the name of Xiuling, although Xu Guogong has a good temper, but his heart is not big, how can he support the new monarch. ”

"Hey...... This one is. My good nephew was just self-serving, and he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick and his uncle was under house arrest, but he didn't know that he had a hot potato by his side. Uncle responded to the call of the overseas vassals, and had great influence in the imperial court, military and politics, once the political situation was unstable, the uncle could pull him into the dragon chair. At this time, I am not in a hurry to contact him, otherwise it will only harm him, it is better to send someone overseas to deliver the letter first, what does the master think? ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and nodded slightly, and gave Zhu Di a thumbs up.

Bang, the door of the palace rang twice, and someone whispered: "The secret envoy of the two kings of Qin and Jin came to Beiping and asked to see His Highness." ”

Zhu Di smiled proudly, "The master is clever, this king can raise troops and make it difficult!" ”
