Chapter 78: The Way of the Monarch and the Minister

"The White Lotus Sect and those bandits are all clouds, and this time persuading Mao Xiang to rebel is actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Of course, His Majesty's heavenly power is inviolable, and Mao Xiang will never succeed, but if Mao Xiang is unsuccessful, he can use this matter to turn His Majesty and the prince against each other. This is their counter-plot, these bandits of the White Lotus Sect are simply bad. Zhang Mu said hatefully.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart was much more relaxed.

Zhu Yuanzhang is resourceful and eloquent, he sees Mao Xiang very thoroughly, even if Zhu Biao is not the mastermind, but he is absolutely inseparable from Zhu Biao.

Although he is a Ming Jun, as a loving father, he has spent more than 20 years cultivating a successor, can he just say that he will be abolished? In the end, the prince is the prince and has a bearing on the fortunes of the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet paid attention to this matter.

Because he thinks that the prince has come to this point, it must be directly related to the small agitation of Xiao Xiao in the court, otherwise how could such a benevolent and filial child do such a rebellious thing?

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, he felt relieved, but at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had a problem with Zhu Biao, but he just didn't have a seizure, and immediately smiled: "You are still young, you don't understand the power of this." These bandits are all doing embarrassing things in the name of heavenly principles. If the country is harmed and the people are disturbed, their hearts should be punished. ”

Zhang Mu looked at the slightly old Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, and knew that his bet was a hit.

The royal struggle is bloody and bloody, Zhang Mu doesn't want to play, and he can't afford to play.

Besides, you can't persuade your father to kill his son, right? Although Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor, he is still a human being, and that normal person is willing to see cannibalism?

This kind of thing can only be persuaded to cooperate, just like a husband and wife fighting, you run to stir up a fight, and in the end, even if one of the husband and wife is at fault, people still have to live, and you are not a person inside and out.

The so-called Qing officials are difficult to cut off family affairs, everyone finds a step down, sends Zhu Yuanzhang a step, and sends Jiang? A credit, and then give yourself a future, this kind of thing, a million profits, why not do it?

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he has been taught." Zhang Mu smiled modestly.

"I'm leaving the Yan family tomorrow, this time you have a meritorious escort, but what do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhang Mu was happy when he heard it, knowing that Lao Zhu had already made up his mind in his heart, and was going to go back to sharpen his knife and kill people.

His old man's golden mouth said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he smiled and said: "There are a few wishes for the humble position, one wants the white-haired people not to see the sword soldiers, the second wants the people to have enough food and clothing, and the third is to hope that Your Majesty will have a good body and health." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed: "You little ghost, how can you learn to be the same as those Wenchen, and choose what is good." It's useless to slap my ass. ”

"Since ancient times, they have been all gentlemen who eat and share worries for the king, and there are courtiers who pick and choose. Don't dare to be humble. Zhang Mu hurriedly smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang praised in his heart, thinking that this child was not arrogant, smart and alert, and he was very appetizing to him, so he got up and said, "You are so good to give birth and raise." I'll have a reward. With that, he got up and left.

Zhang Mu was immediately relieved, and shouted at the moment: "Humble and respectful to Your Majesty." ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, Zhang Mu was apprehensive.

It is foreseeable that when Lao Zhu returns to Yingtianfu, there must be a bloody storm, otherwise he would have gone back a long time ago, and he would not have waited here for another two days, and these two days are to figure out how to start.

Zhang Mu just wanted to be far away from the center of the power struggle, and he was worried that if Lao Zhu was happy this time and transferred him to Nanjing, then he would have a hard time this little life.

Besides, a few years later, there will be Yan Wang Jingnan, and Nanjing can't go to that place.

By dealing with this matter of the Yan family, Zhang Mu knew that Lao Zhu was definitely a person who would repay him.

Today's Yan Yongnian is the original Zhang Shicheng, Lao Zhu didn't kill him, and keeping him was to humiliate him.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the total amount of taxes and grain in the world was more than 29.43 million stones, more than 2.752 million stones in Zhejiang, and more than 1.29 million stones in Songjiang.

Songjiang is a government, and the tax payment is half of that of a province in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the reason why Songjiang pays taxes so heavily is because it was Zhang Shicheng's territory at that time.

That's how Lao Zhu came to humiliate Zhang Shicheng, and at this age, he didn't forget to come to see Zhang Shicheng, and humiliate him again by the way.

It can be seen that Lao Zhu's mind is far less broad than that of Tang Zong and Hanzu, so the person who instigated the prince's rebellion this time is going to be unlucky.

However, as soon as Lao Zhu left, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were finally peaceful, Zhang Mu pondered, he had to clean up and hurry up, and make his soap candle business prosperous.

In addition, Jin Yiwei is in troubled waters, so he still can't be greedy, hurry up and study, and take the test first is the right thing.

saved Zhu Yuanzhang this time, it is absolutely impossible to just forget it, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely use him, if you want to avoid the change of Jingjing, you have to hurry up the imperial examination, and it is best to be released as a county order or something in the future, far away from Nanjing, even if you dodge it.

Chiang? After a while, he hurriedly came in, and saw that Zhang Mu was happier than seeing his own father, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been eating unpleasantly for the past three days, and you have not slept at night, your method has really worked, Your Majesty has ordered to respond to Tianfu tomorrow, I had a meal just now, and now I have laid down to rest." ”

"What about you, Lord Jiang?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Of course, I'm escorting all the way back to Beijing, what are you staying here for?" Chiang? Said.

Zhang Mu knew that as soon as Mao Xiang died, Jinyiwei would inevitably have a cleansing, and after this reshuffle, the power of Jinyiwei would fall into his hands.

At that moment, Zhang Mu smiled and said: "Then I congratulate my lord, congratulations to my lord's promotion and wealth." ”

"Rejoice and rejoice, your escort is meritorious, Your Majesty will naturally reward you greatly. I'm afraid that we will be able to meet in Nanjing in the near future. "Jiang? Knowing that Zhang Mu liked Zhu Yuanzhang too much, and that he had made such a great contribution this time, he was so young, and his future was limitless, so he smiled complimentarily at the moment.

"I'm injured, so I can't send it to adults. Take care all the way. Zhang Mu said with a smile.

"Then you can also recuperate, I will take my leave first." Chiang? After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and went out.

Zhang Mu sighed in his heart, this turmoil is finally coming to an end.

When he was sighing, he ran in in a hurry and hurriedly said, "Have you done what you promised me?" ”

Zhang Mu then remembered the stern marriage and said: "Damn, damn it, I almost forgot." What about Tao Xingchang? ”

"It's right outside the door, I'm leaving, let me stop you." Stern then said.

"Call him in, I'll be the old man for you." Zhang Mu said with a smile.

At that moment, Tao Xingchang pushed the door in, saw Zhang Mu, and hurriedly saluted Zhang Mu and said, "What do you have to say?" ”
