Postscript II
"This ......" Sun Yunqi was shocked by Di Linazha's words, is this a rebellion? Holding Di Lina's hand, she said with a little nervousness: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, this is definitely not a joke for people to hear." β
Who knew that Di Linaza smiled faintly, as if she didn't take the court in her eyes at all, and said with a little pride: "Sister don't be afraid, this world has been inhabited by virtuous people since ancient times, looking at today, in terms of character and talent, who can compare to the king of our family, my sister thinks that it is more appropriate for the king of our family to inherit the unification." Isn't King Yan the opposite? What 'Qingjun side' and 'Jing Nan' are all excuses, he has long wanted to be the emperor, and he has framed the virtuous concubine sister before, he can be it, why can't the king of our family? Besides, you have also seen the ruthlessness of the current emperor, he treats his own uncle as an enemy, he is abolished as a concubine at every turn, and he also forced the king of Xiang to death, can our king fall with him? In my opinion, it would be better to replace it. My sister believes that if the king becomes the emperor, his achievements will not be worse than those of the previous emperor. β
Sun Yunqi didn't speak, and she also acquiesced to Di Linazha's point of view, but Yun Wei, this kid, is too ruthless, and a dignified prince has become a common man in the end, not to mention the princes, she, the queen, can't stand it, without the prince, what can she do? Do you want to drink the northwest wind? Moreover, in her heart, she also thinks that her husband is the best, and if he can ascend to the throne, maybe he can really create a legendary era.
At this moment, they heard a burst of discussion in the previous dynasty, the first to speak was Bing Cao Jushu Guan Ziyu, he was in the position of the Great Sima, this kind of military affairs was naturally the first to speak by him, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a big rebellious word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" β
Zhu Ao sneered in his heart, thinking that this group of literati was really good at twisting and turning, and there was something in his heart that just refused to pour it out happily, sat on the big throne, and encouraged loudly: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter!" Not only you, but all Aiqing today must speak freely, those who speak have no fault, and those who hear are full of caution. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since the 31st year of Hongwu, the imperial court began to cut the king of Zhou, and up to now, a total of five vassal kings have been cut, all of whom were abolished as concubines, and the king of Xiang was forced to death. It can be clearly seen that the imperial court wanted to wipe out all the vassal kings in order to re-establish the great unification pattern without vassal kings in the Tang and Song dynasties. β
"The king now occupies the widest area among the many vassal kings, the limelight is the largest, the court must have been eyeing the king for a long time, and sending Qi Tailai before is an obvious signal, the reason why they don't do it now is not that they didn't expect it, but that they can't do it, if the king doesn't plan early, and wait until the court subdues all the vassal kings, it will definitely be like the king's action. When the time comes, the imperial court will overwhelm the territory with a million troops, and it will carry the power of orthodoxy, so dare to ask the king how to deal with himself? β
His words immediately won the applause of the whole house, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs praised one after another: "Yes, yes." Lord Bing Cao is right, the king should make plans as soon as possible, so as not to make people sword and me as fish and meat at that time. β
Zhu Ao also agreed with Guan Ziyu's point of view very much in his heart, and couldn't help nodding slightly, Guan Ziyu really used it right, it can be said that he was full of tricks, and he really gave himself a lot of good ideas, put one hand on the armrest of the big throne, leaned forward slightly, and said: "All Aiqing is reasonable, but what should the widow plan?" β
Guan Ziyu actually made a draft on the road as early as possible, and at this time he got Zhu Ao's encouragement, and his confidence increased greatly, and he stood up and said loudly: "The king is a nobleman of heaven, and the most favored by the first emperor during his lifetime, it stands to reason that it is not necessary to inherit the unification, and now the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, provoking the relationship between the emperor and the kings, the king should raise troops in accordance with the ancestral training, first send troops to occupy Guanzhong, and then occupy Bashu, become the emperor's business, and then capture Wuchang, and finally go down the river to the east, capture the capital, kill the traitorous ministers, and force the emperor of Wudao to abdicate." β
"Then, the king can follow the heavens, ascend to the throne, inherit the mantle of Emperor Gao, and create a peaceful and prosperous world!"
When he said the last sentence, Guan Ziyu was quite excited, his sallow face turned red, and his voice increased a lot.
All the ministers knelt down in unison and sang loudly: "The ministers seconded the proposal, please ask Your Highness to raise troops and take the throne as soon as possible, and create a peaceful and prosperous era for the subjects of the world." β
Zhu Ao's blood was also ignited by them, looking at the current civil and military officials all supporting him, the feeling of intoxication couldn't help but arise spontaneously, but he was not carried away by these nice words, he knew that Guan Ziyu said the so-called "the most favored prince of the first emperor during his lifetime" and the like were just gold on his face, and the most favored prince of Lao Zhu was Zhu Biao, which no one could replace.
As for the ministers' remark that it is difficult to raise troops and appease, creating a peaceful and prosperous era for the subjects of the world is just an excuse for rebellion, and it can even be said to be a fig leaf, which cannot be true.
Zhu Ao did not doubt the loyalty of the group of civil and military ministers under him at all, not to mention that these people were all his iron-clad team, but for personal interests, they would also support him.
If they are just a king in a remote area for the rest of their lives, they have no sense of accomplishment even if they are extremely popular ministers under their hands, if they can dominate the world and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then they are the founding heroes, and they can go down in history with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, the temptation for them is too great to refuse.
However, Zhu Ao is still very sober, although the throne is very tempting, but there is a life to fight, and there is a life to sit firmly, and he said with a little worry: "The Timurid Empire in the west is advancing vigorously, and it has repeatedly provoked my Ming Dynasty. According to reliable sources, the country's troops have reached a million, and what if they copy our back path? β
This question was also considered by Guan Ziyu, who was judged by the soldier, and he even thought that Zhu Ao would ask this, so he immediately bowed his hand to Zhu Ao and said generously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Timur will not necessarily attack the Ming Dynasty. Even if it's a real offense, there's nothing to worry about. β
This point of view is fresh, Zhu Ao couldn't help laughing in his heart, this soldier Cao's judgment is so bold, Timur, who crisscrossed the Eurasian continent, became a no-brainer in his heart, and said: "Tell me, why is he not worrying?" β
Guan Ziyu, the secretary of the Bing Cao judgment, stood up straight and said impassionedly: "Although Timur has won consecutive battles recently and destroyed countless countries, it is precisely because of this that his country is very unstable, and those newly conquered countries by him are not really attached to him, but are forced to obey because of his might. Although the king's kingdom was not as big as his, it was a monolith, and there were such sharp weapons as cans and arquebuses, and if Timur wanted to attack the king, he would definitely hit the nail. β
"Yes, yes. That old guy is just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, and he looks quite big, but he doesn't have to worry about it. Your Majesty, we don't need to be afraid of him, let's march to the Central Plains. All the ministers raised their fists and seconded, and the hall was suddenly noisy.
