Chapter III

The so-called "one soldier bears, will bear a nest", Zhu Yuanzhang left Zhu Yunwen a "family world" style of the Ming Dynasty, composed of emperors, vassal kings, and relatives, on the basis of rights, etiquette and family affection to support the Ming Dynasty forever, unified for 10,000 years. Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the Quartet without any scruples, and killed all the generals who could fight well. Zhu Yuanzhang must have explained this idea to Zhu Yunwen, this is a national policy, and it must be passed on from generation to generation.

But Zhu Yunwen did not faithfully implement his grandfather's national policy, and soon after he ascended the throne, he cleaned up his five uncles in less than a year, and forced Zhu Di to rebel, but there was no suitable general to fight against Zhu Di. With Zhu Yunwen killing his uncle first, they can only believe that Zhu Di will take care of his brotherhood after he wins. Facts have proved that Nanjing City is Zhu Di's nineteenth brother, Zhu Yunwen's nineteenth uncle Gu Wang and Li Jinglong, who opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome Zhu Di into the city when Zhu Di's soldiers were in the city.

Therefore, Zhu Di was forced to raise troops, although he would not receive support, but he would not encounter major obstacles, in short, he was in danger of winning, and the goddess of luck was on Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a wise man, but he was deceived by Zhu Yunwen. How to say it, Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was that the Ming Dynasty after him ruled the country with literature, ruled the world with filial piety, and put filial piety first, which is why he didn't pass on the reason for Zhu Di, Zhu Di is indeed very capable of fighting, but the cultural level, especially R learning, is not as good as Zhu Yunwen; And Zhu Yunwen once took care of his father Zhu Biao day and night for two years when he was ill, Zhu Yunwen's performance just met Zhu Yuanzhang's standard, it can be said that Zhu Yunwen was able to get the throne and his filial piety added a lot of points to him, but this at least exceeded all the advantages of Zhu Di, so Zhu Yunwen won. And the national policies set by Zhu Yuanzhang are all national policies that revolve around Zhu Yunwen and affect the stability and direction of the Ming Dynasty, so before there is a proper plan, even if he knows that it is inappropriate, Zhu Yunwen cannot change it rashly at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and Zhu Yunwen should gradually proceed on the basis of maintaining the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Comparing the two endings of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Tui En Ling", which had the same purpose but different methods, it is very puzzling that history repeats itself again. And Zhu Yunwen put aside the "Zun Xun" about three months after he ascended the throne and began his journey to dig his own grave, so his filial piety is pretended and fake......

But at that time, Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne meant inheriting the unification and taking root and being red. The view of Confucianism is that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he will not make mistakes, which is based on the purpose of maintaining and consolidating the imperial authority, so even if Zhu Di defeated Zhu Yunwen and ascended the throne as the emperor, he still did not speak properly if his name was not right. So this is an eternal pain in Zhu Di's heart, listening to Yao Guangxiao say this, it is normal for Zhu Di to be excited, which means that his father Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the legitimacy of his succession to the throne, which sounds incredible, but if the dream really happens, it means that Zhu Di will take off the hat of usurpation. What does this mean? From then on, Zhu Di turned into a serf and sang, dispelling the dark clouds and seeing the sun.

Yao Guangxiao twisted the cup in his hand, took a shallow sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is a lot to do in this matter." ”

Zhu Di is gradually regaining his composure, and when he heard Yao Guangxiao say this, he was slightly stunned, and then said with great joy: "What the young master said is very true, I am really stupid, seeing Zheng He's secret performance of Taizu's dream, the matter is chaotic, but I didn't expect the mystery in it." If this happens, I will be at peace from now on! I will go back to the palace to arrange this matter, and I have benefited a lot from the young master today, and it can be said that I have seen the light of day. There are two things that I have come to serve today, the first of which has been solved. The second thing is that I sent two imperial doctors to accompany the young master to check the young master's body every day, this is my heart, the young master cannot shirk, the young master himself must take care, and I will visit the young master another day. ”

Without waiting for Yao Guangxiao to speak, Zhu Di said: "Wang Zhong, I want to go back to the palace." ”

After Zhu Di returned to the palace, he rested for a while......

Then Zhu Di had a dream, he dreamed that his father Zhu Yuanzhang said to him: "Fourth, you are very ......"

Zhu Di knelt and choked and said: "Father, the son is also forced to be helpless, begging for life in death, begging the father to forgive the son and the minister......"

"Fourth, you're very good......"

Then Zhu Di woke up from a dream, Zhu Di called Wang Zhong to help him get up and sit behind the imperial case, closed his eyes and recuperated, thought for a moment, picked up the imperial pen and wrote on the imperial paper.

"Wang Zhong, Xuan Sai Hazhi, if he arrives, he doesn't have to listen to Xuan, he will meet him directly." Zhu Di said as he wrote.

After tea, Wang Zhong and Sai Hazhi came to Zhu Di.

"Weichen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard makes Sai Hazhi see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Excuse me, flat."

"Your Majesty."

"Saihazhi, I have two very important things for you to do, one is to find out this person named Wang Wenle for me to find out, I want to know everything about him, this is the information about this person sent by Zheng He, I want to know everything about him; The second is to hand over this edict to Zheng He as quickly as possible, and you will send the most capable man to bring this person back to me safely. After Zhu Di finished speaking, he raised his hand to pick up the information and instructions about Wang Wenle sent by Zheng He, Wang Zhong stepped forward to take it, and then handed it to Saihazhi.

"The emperor can rest assured, the Jinyi Guards will go all out to find out this person, and Weichen will send the Beizhen Fu envoy to escort this person back to Beijing with five hundred horsemen, and he will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." After receiving the information and instructions, Saihazhi said solemnly.

"Saihazhi, this matter is not to be made public, this person may be of great use to me, but I want to use a clear and clear person. I'm fine, you can go down. ”

"Wechen understands, Wechen will go back to arrange, and Wechen will retire."

"Wang Zhong, Xuan Huguang, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Hu Yan, Jian Yi Audience." After speaking, Zhu Di picked up the pen and continued to write the previous content.

After Zhu Di finished writing, he said: "Wang Zhong, when the ink is dry, divide it into seven parts, and seal the fire paint after each part is marked." Then Zhu Di began to drink tea and ponder.

When Wang Zhong completed all the things that Zhu Di commanded, the ministers had arrived. After the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, Zhu Di ordered to give a seat, and when the ministers sat down, Zhu Di said: "I invite all the ministers to come today is related to the dream of Taizu, this dream is related to my Ming state affairs, so that I am restless, I think and worry a lot, and then according to the Taizu dictation, there will be several major events soon after, I have copied a copy of the Taizu's dictation, and I will divide it into seven copies and give it to all the ministers present to keep it, if this dream is really fulfilled in the future, I will listen to the Taizu oracle with all the ministers. Wang Zhong, I will distribute the sealed Taizu dictation to all the ministers. ”

The ministers stood up separately to thank them, and each put away the Taizu oracle that Zhu Di had copied.

"Hu Yan, you are proficient in astronomy and divination, what do you think about this?" Zhu Di asked.

"Back to the emperor, this dream has two meanings, one of which is that the dream is born from the heart; The second is the manifestation of Taizu. The emperor can judge for himself, if he misses Taizu and worries about state affairs recently, the so-called thinking about the day and dreaming at night, this is one of them, otherwise it is the other; This is a good sign. Hu Yan replied.

"According to what Hu Qing said, I can be sure that it is the second."

Hu Guang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said: "Your Majesty, if the metaphor of Taizu is really fulfilled, it will be the blessing of my Ming Dynasty." ”

The official secretary said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. ”

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, said: "Your Majesty, it is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty that Taizu has a dream warning, whether it is fulfilled or not, you should take precautions and take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Hanlin scholars Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi said in unison: Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. ”

"Okay, good, good, even if you have no objections, let me think about it for a few days, and then start arranging, and if you have nothing to do, let's step down." Zhu Di said pleasantly.

"The ministers are leaving."

After the ministers left, Zhu Di took a sip of tea, then got up and paced slowly, and after a while, he said to himself: "I don't know where Zheng He and them are now?" I'm looking forward to this day! ”

At this moment, Zheng He, who was resting in Calicut (Guli), was summoning Wang Wenle again, and after saluting, Wang Wenle said: "Lord Zheng, since the storm and the little one was injured on the head, Taizu began to dream of me, and this time I dreamed that Taizu was guiding our route. Taizu said: "This is to Malindi (Malin) coast to sail south for a few days to reach the Sang to the Empire, its country is rich in gold and precious stones and is very fond of my Ming silk, porcelain and tea, so that Zheng He completed the mission and then went to the Sang to the Empire, found and found Mombasa (Manbasa), Kirwa and Zanzibar, and exchanged all the goods he carried for gold and precious stones to fill the treasury of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"South of Malindi, Sangto Empire? Good! Wang Wenle, you will personally verify this dream, if it is really as you said, I will write to the emperor to prove it for you and show you merit. Zheng He said happily.

Wang Wenle saluted again and said: "Xie Qincha Lord, the small one has also read a few books, this loyal monarch is patriotic, and the truth of right and wrong is also understood, if it is not for the importance of this matter, the small one will never want to risk killing his head and breaking the family to say it, the small one is also thinking about it, and repeatedly thinks that this is a very important thing for my Daming, the small one can't just take care of Mingzhe's life and ignore my emperor and the Mingming, as long as the adults think that the small one has not lost his mind and gone crazy, you can believe that the small one is by no means out of nothing, and the small one is not open to words, Take your own net worth and life as a child's play. ”

"Well, Ben Qincha just believes that you have not lost your mind and will secretly play my emperor, that is, Taizu once again entrusts you with dreams and guides me to the new route of the Ming Dynasty, then Ben Qincha will lead the fleet to explore and discover the Sangqi Empire, and exchange it for gold and precious stones according to Taizu's dictation. Wang Wenle kept his mouth shut, if this dream is not fulfilled, you already know the result, if it is fulfilled, only the emperor can give you a great fortune, you will be rich and glorious, and the future is immeasurable, retreat. Zheng He said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Lord Qincha, the stakes are very high, don't say anything about killing the little one, and retire the little one."
