Chapter Ninety-Three: The Beginning and End of Shandong (1)

On this planet, the death of the vast majority of people is painful for their families for a few days at most, and even more, there are many people who eat, drink, sing, and dance in the funeral sheds and in front of the coffins. A few people can make their colleagues remember for a few days, but at most ten days and a half months, everyone will forget about this person, and at most they will talk about it in their leisure time: "That old Wang, hehe, it's really interesting, hehehe......"; There are only a very few people, and his departure will create a vacuum that cannot be filled, resulting in being repeatedly mentioned in the years to come, but such people are destined to be only a very small number of people.

Wang Du, as the emperor's chief think tank, his influence far exceeds the grade of his four products, and even institutions such as the Investigation Department and the Security Department are under his influence, and this is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yunwen categorically disposed of him. Wang Du didn't say who was instructing him until he died, this is the most terrible thing, if it is a person in the palace, it is nothing more than the queen mother, the queen, and the prince, in fact, this is easy to say, this is all within the controllable range; But what Zhu Yunwen is most worried about is that Wang Du is guided by the civil official group or Confucian morality to do this kind of thing, so since then, the whole thing is likely to be a test of the civilian official group of military generals and nobles. However, in the depths of Zhu Yunwen's heart, it is just a temporary forbearance, and sooner or later he will find out about this matter.

Feng Xingjian, director of the Investigation Department, and Qiao Hong, deputy director of the Investigation Department, are plotting rebellion, but the investigation departments in various places are still carrying out their missions, so the information about the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong is being sent to Beijing in a steady stream; At the same time, after the initial panic, Shandong's capital division, political envoy division, and judicial department also sent more accurate information; And Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu in Yanzhou, also sent a copy of the King of Qi's recital, and it turned out that Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, fled to Yanzhou.

Zhu Rong, in another time and space, was first deposed as a concubine by Zhu Yunwen because of many lawlessness, and then restored the prince by Zhu Di, who succeeded in appeasement, but unfortunately this prince was only retained for three years, and then he was deposed again, and twenty-two years later, Zhu Rong and his three sons died violently at the same time, ending his inexplicable life.

In fact, Zhu Di's approach is easy to understand, Qingzhou, the fief of King Qi, was the capital of Shandong for most of the time, and it was not until the ninth year of Hongwu that the capital of Shandong was moved to Jinan. From the topographical point of view, Shandong is the left arm of Yanjing, the right arm of Jinling, once there is chaos in Shandong, the canal will be easily cut off, Yanjing and other places will become a place of death, and the king of Qi Zhu Rong is an arrogant, self-proclaimed military strategy, it is difficult to reassure.

After deposing Zhu Rong, Zhu Di sealed his heroic and warlike son Zhu Gaoxu in Qingzhou, which shows the importance he attaches to Shandong.

And in this time and space, at the beginning of Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne, someone also wrote a book to report that King Qi had rebelled, but at that time, Zhu Yunwen was dealing with King Yan, so it was just to make Mei Yin, the capital of Shandong at that time, pay proper attention to it.

Zhu Di had 200,000 troops, but he was quickly defeated and killed, and all his heirs were executed, which greatly touched the king of the northern domain, and Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, was one of them, so after quelling the rebellion, Zhu Rong quickly transformed from an ambitious vassal king to a fool who ate and waited for death, for example, he liked to run in the farmland outside the city, watching the crying of peasant village women, laughing; I also like to change my makeup, take the evil slaves around me, and flirt with women from good families in the city. Zhu Rong is like this, he will naturally not be a good person around him, and his arrogance and domineering are better than Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong's actions naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of local officials, and they reported to the imperial court one after another, demanding that Zhu Rong's atrocities be stopped. After Zhu Yunwen saw it, he immediately issued an order to reprimand him and make him keep to himself, but Zhu Yu would only stop for a while, and soon there was a relapse of the old state, which made Zhu Yunwen a headache, and finally he transferred the father of his concubine Li Yushi, Li Yuchi, who was a political envoy in Zhejiang, to Shandong, as a political envoy, and let him restrain the behavior of King Qi.

During the conquest of Korea, in order to cooperate with Sheng Yong's offensive, Zhu Yunwen ordered the veteran Xu Kai to recruit 50,000 Shandong soldiers to go to sea from Dengju to attack Jeolla Province. In order to show loyalty to the emperor, Zhu Rong, at the suggestion of his master Yan Dongyang, took the initiative to offer two guards to participate in the cross-sea expedition to the east. After getting the news, Zhu Yunwen was very happy, issued a decree to praise the king of Qi, and gave a lot of money.

At that time, the White Lotus Sect had a tendency to resurge, and the reason was very simple, Zhu Di had adopted the strategy of taking food to the enemy during the rebellion, killing and looting near the river, such as Shenzhou, Xianxian, Jingzhou, Dezhou, Cangzhou and other places caused countless displaced people, coupled with the frenzied digging of the canal, so that tens of thousands of people were displaced. Later, in order to repair the canal, the imperial court summoned hundreds of thousands of peasants to work the embankment; In addition, in order to support the war in Northeast China and Korea, Shandong's people, soldiers, and food were also continuously transferred.

All of this gave the White Lotus Sect space to breed and multiply, as early as the late stage of the Yanwang Rebellion, the White Lotus Sect near Yanjing was in full swing, although it was suppressed a batch, but it was never able to be eradicated. When building the canal, in order to appease the peasants who had lost their land, the imperial court specially summoned them to work, thinking that this would at least have something to eat, but unfortunately it left a curse.

Shandong garrison was requisitioned in large quantities, in order to ensure the supply of the army, there was a shortage of food in Shandong, and there were signs of instability in various places, especially the unloading stone shed near Qingzhou as the most, where the mountains and highlands were dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, they appeased the displaced people, hoarded grain and grass, blocked the road and robbed, and did all kinds of evil, the local officials and troops entered and suppressed several times in vain, which caused great dissatisfaction with Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, and the military strategy in his blood began to recover again, he denounced the incompetence of the Qingzhou officials, and then under the advice of the master Yan Dongyang, expanded the palace, The palace was connected to the city walls, and guards were sent to stand guard in the city, and local soldiers were not allowed to patrol the city. This move naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the local government, who could tolerate thieves wreaking havoc outside the city, but could not tolerate the King of Qi depriving them of their natural power.

Therefore, they wrote to the political envoy Si Yamen, and the political envoy Li Yuchi sent a letter to Zhu Yunwen. This made Zhu Yunwen, who was worried about the king of Chu and the king of Taiwan at that time, very annoyed, and immediately sent someone to reprimand the king of Qi and ordered him to escort him back to the camp, otherwise he would be severely punished. After receiving the edict, Zhu Rong hurriedly defended, saying that there was a White Lotus Sect outside the city, but he did not get the approval of the messenger, which made Zhu Rong very angry, but he had no choice but to order the guards to return to the camp, but ordered them to wait for the Dan and not slack off, but unfortunately this ushered in the second reprimand of the Qin Cha, Zhu Rong Qi was born with one Buddha ascending to heaven and two Buddhas, but he could only endure and dare not show it.

It is also strange to say that in the time before and after Qin Cha arrived in Qingzhou, the thieves who unloaded the stone shed did not make any trouble, which made the Qingzhou officials very happy, feeling that it was almost the New Year, and the thieves should be busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and would not come down the mountain again, so everyone said that King Qi was fabricating facts and had bad intentions, so please pay attention to the imperial court. Su Ziwen, the young superintendent from the imperial court, promised that after returning to the court, he would definitely report to the emperor.

Zhu Rong, the king of Qi who was loyal but was reprimanded, angrily scolded in the palace, scared the princess and subordinate officials into not possessing their bodies, and persuaded them one after another, and Professor Ye Yuan was even more bitter, saying that the emperor was only deceived by traitors for a while, and sooner or later he would understand the loyalty of the prince......

At this moment, Master Yan Dongyang walked in from outside, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked to Zhu Rong's side and whispered a few words, Zhu Rong suddenly smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Really?" ”
