Meanwhile.

Late at night, far away in the land of Sizhou, Guizhou, Zhenyuan, Qinglang Zhuwei was attacked!

For a time, the war raged.

"Kill! Kill, kill, kill! ”

"Open the city gate, welcome Jianwen! Open the city gate and welcome Jianwen! ”

"Jianwen's destiny is in full swing, you will join me to kill the Yongle thief and enter Yingtianfu!"

"Ahhh

The roars, the fires, the arrows, the sound of the voice.

The two cities of Zhenyuan and Qinglang were mortally attacked.

Under the city wall, there was an uprising of more than 2,000 Miao people, and they suddenly carried out a night attack, and no one expected it.

And along the way, they greeted Emperor Jianwen under the banner, causing the people to report to the official, and in the end, more than 2,000 people were killed directly under the city gate.

Zhenyuan, Qinglang and two guards, there were not many people fortified, and it was a night attack, which led to a hasty response, and more than half of the more than 800 people were directly shot.

Bodies kept falling off the walls.

And those Ming troops defending the city, when they saw the banner of Emperor Jianwen raised under the city wall, they also trembled in their hearts and lost their determination to fight.

"You wait for the rebellious ministers and thieves, don't you surrender quickly, open the city gate, we are the old department of Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Jianwen is orthodox, you are loyal to Yongle, do you want to become a rebellious minister and thief?"

"Open the city gate, welcome Jianwen!"

"Kill! Kill! ”

Emperor Jianwen is back......

Listening to the roar under the city wall, although the Ming army on the city wall was still resisting, it had weakened its momentum in his heart.

In ancient times, orthodoxy or not was serious.

Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne means that he will never be orthodox, and helping him is helping rebellious ministers and thieves.

Under such momentum, the Ming army was constantly attacked and killed, and in the end, there were constantly thieves who climbed the city wall, cut them down, and then opened the city gate.

At this point, Zhen Yuanwei announced the breaking of the city!

In the city, the people were already panicked and didn't know who to listen to.

The gates were opened.

A man rode a tall horse, followed by more than a thousand anti-thieves, and slowly walked in.

The man at the head had a rebellious face, a big knife in his hand, and the banner of Emperor Jianwen in his hand.

The people of the city were both frightened and frightened, and wanted to flee.

The leader held high the banner of Jianwen and shouted: "Don't panic the people, Emperor Jianwen is not dead, he lives in Guizhou, I am Miao Puliang, the general of the old department of Emperor Jianwen, today I am ordered by Emperor Jianwen to raise troops and recapture the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Yongle thief, disobedient to his father and nephew, everyone will be punished!"

"People, follow me to enter Yingtianfu and welcome Emperor Jianwen back to the court!"

The people were silent, and they all looked at Miao Puliang at the gate of the city, their eyes flashing with confusion.

Intuition told them that they should report to the official, but this person claimed to be a subordinate of Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Jianwen was orthodox......

Even the guards formed by the villagers were hesitant at the moment.

Miao Puliang shouted: "Emperor Jianwen has returned, and you still don't kneel down to show your loyalty, do you really want to be loyal to that Yongle thief?" ”

His words made people hesitate again.

And while they were hesitating, the people knelt down for them.

Gradually, more and more people knelt down for them and chanted to welcome Emperor Jianwen.

Because Emperor Jianwen is the orthodoxy designated by the old emperor, they dare not disobey it.

Miao Puliang looked at the people kneeling down, and a sneer flashed on his face: "Sure enough, Emperor Jianwen's orthodox name is really useful." ”

"If the Mingjiao uprising, the birth of Maitreya, and the birth of the Ming King, I am afraid it will not have such a big impact."

"Sure enough, the people are still thinking about Emperor Jianwen in their hearts."

Jumping off the horse, Miao Puliang grinned and sneered: "Then Zhu Yuanzhang used to be a Mingjiao, and he became the emperor by relying on Mingjiao, why can't I rebel in the name of Emperor Jianwen?" ”

At the end of September of the 11th year of Yongle, Miao Puliang led the 14 villages of Tailuo to meet with more than 2,000 people, including Miao Proluozhe, the leader of the Miao people in Hongjiang and Hengpi, and joined forces with Jingzhou and Qinglongdu, and revolted to attack Zhenyuan and Qinglang Zhuwei!

That night, the city was broken!

According to historical records, this was the largest religious rebellion in the Yongle period, except for the Tang Sayer Uprising.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the rebellion never stopped.

Most of them were Ming Christians who led the uprising, and Miao Puliang was no exception, but he was smarter and packaged himself as the Jianwen Emperor uprising, and there were countless responders at one time.

Miao Puliang got off the horse, and the people welcomed him into the county compound in disbelief.

In fact, Miao Puliang didn't plan to rebel so soon, but he was anxious after hearing the news of the commercial tax reform.

This was a riot caused by the commercial tax reform.

Damn, Zhu Yuanzhang can be the emperor with mud legs, so can't we be?

Next.

The 'Jianwen' army grew to more than 4,000 people, and then attacked Qinglang and Pingxiwei.

Qinglang, Pingxi announced the breaking of the city!

Seeing its fierce momentum, the local Guizhou political envoy immediately sent troops to recruit An, but Miao Puliang wanted to be the emperor, so he refused, and the Guizhou political envoy did not dare to conceal it, so he rushed 800 miles and reported to the imperial court.

……

Ying Tianfu.

"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The horse went straight to the palace, and when the prince heard the news, he immediately made a series of countermeasures with the civil officials, and did not intend to alarm Zhu Di.

But Jinyiwei's ears and eyes have already spread the news to Zhu Di's ears.

Zhu Di was furious, walked into the Shang study, and sneered: "Where is Emperor Jianwen?" Which one dares to claim that Emperor Jianwen rebelled? What is your name? Where is the place of origin? Have you all found out? ”

When the prince saw the old man coming, he quickly stood up and gave up his position to the old man.

"Your Majesty, I haven't found out yet, and the news is relatively hasty." The prince said busily.

Civil officials also bowed their heads.

Zhu Di knew that he couldn't blame them for all the faults, so he walked up to them and suddenly sighed heavily: "Do you know how it was spread outside?" ”

"Guizhou Jinyiwei reported, the people are chewing their tongues in the back, saying that Emperor Jianwen is the orthodox emperor, and now he is going to kill and take revenge."

"Uncle usurped the nephew's position, God can't stand it, let Emperor Jianwen resurrect, come to Zhu Laosi for revenge."

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials present looked at their noses and noses, and pretended not to hear them.

Rebellion is a sensitive word, and even if they hear it, they have to pretend that they don't hear it.

But on the contrary, there is one of the civil officials who happened to report the recent situation of commercial tax reform to the prince, and it was Yu Xuekui.

When Yu Xuekui heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The people are right. ”

Yu Xuekui just wants to criticize Zhu Di and criticize you for being a rebel.

In Yu Xuekui's opinion, rebellion is wrong, no matter whether you are happy or not, I have to say it!

As soon as these words came out, a cold sweat broke out on the prince's forehead.

Zhu Di turned around, looked at Yu Xuekui, and sneered: "Yes, they are right." ”

"You don't know the information, so I'll tell you."

"Under the banner of Emperor Jianwen, the Ming Christians rebelled, killing bureaucrats and seizing the city, and the local people were willing to let them rule, and some even responded to the call and chose to join the army."

"Why is that? Isn't it that the people can't forget Emperor Jianwen, thinking that Jianwen is orthodox, and I am a rebel and unpopular with the people? ”

After a pause, Zhu Di looked up to the sky, looked at the ceiling in the study, and showed a little tired on his face: "But future generations will know me!" ”

"Am I not a good emperor?"

"I didn't waste a day of time, I didn't ask for anything for myself, I worked hard for this country."

After a pause, Zhu Di sat on the steps under the dragon chair, his face full of exhaustion.

"Over the years, where there has been a famine, the imperial court has relieved it."

"Where there is a big flood, the imperial court will send people to dredge it, spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and we have to do a good job here, and when the flood is gone, we have to allocate more food, just for fear that they will starve to death."

"The Northern Yuan attack, I have beaten back, the number of Tatar captives over the years is ten times less than that of the Jianwen Dynasty, I pressed the Tatars to the ground to fight, isn't it still for this country?"

With a wry smile, the old emperor sat on the steps, his face a little lonely and a little tired.

"But what's the use? I vowed to do better than Jianwen, but the people didn't appreciate it. ”

"They all dream of looking forward to Jianwen's return, I don't understand, is Jianwen's little cub doing better than me?"

"I'm tired, I'm really tired, I've been fighting for the country all my life, and I'm not at all good, so I say that I, Zhu Di, am a chaotic minister and thief......"

The old emperor had gray temples, was in his fifties, and had ruled the country for eleven years.

In the past eleven years, he didn't dare to slack off, just to prove to the people that he Yongle was stronger than Jianwen!

But what's the use?

This time, Guizhou rebelled under the banner of Jianwen, and there were so many people who responded, which really pierced the old emperor's heart and made it hurt.

The crown prince couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will order that the Huguang Political Envoy and the Guizhou Political Envoy jointly suppress the anti-thieves." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand: "It's not important, it's just some little thieves, Yongle will be afraid of them?" Give them another hundred years, and they will not want to fight until the end of the day. ”

This is the confidence of the old man, and he has never taken these garbage seriously.

What he is really sad about is that the hearts of the people in the world are not towards him, but towards Jianwen.

The crown prince was silent.

The civil officials were also silent, saying in their hearts, Yongle did indeed do ten times better than Jianwen......

Inside the main hall, there was silence for a while.

The old emperor seemed to have aged a lot, and suddenly ordered: "Prince." ”

The prince hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di instructed: "Tell the political envoy of Guizhou, let them quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and only kill the Ming Christians, those people who followed the rebellion, they were just blinded, and ordered not to kill them, and they were locked up for a while." ”

When Jian Yi heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Shengming! ”

"Emperor Shengming." Yang Shiqi was also quite moved.

Who would have thought that Zhu Di, a murderous maniac, would be so tolerant of the people?

In the hearts of civil officials, who is not moved?

"If the hearts of the people in the world do not turn to me, that is, I have not done well enough."

"I want them to watch, I want to do better than Jianwen, and I want them to know that the rebellious emperor is better to them than the orthodox emperor!"

Zhu Di sat on the steps and spoke calmly: "Pass the order, the commercial tax reform will be fully implemented, and the imperial court will put down everything to do this and promote it as soon as possible." ”

"The pilot must be successful."

This is the determination of the imperial court, and it is the determination of the old man!

When the civil officials heard this, their faces were firm, and they arched their hands: "Don't worry, the emperor will do his best." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and told them to step back.

After they all left, there were only two fathers and sons left in this hall.

Zhu Di looked somewhere, in a daze.

The prince knelt beside the old man, and couldn't bear to see the old father so sad.

Zhu Di smiled reluctantly and patted the prince's face: "Dad is fine, don't worry." ”

"Dad told you something, our old Zhu family, we can't do it against the people, remember?"

The prince's words were a little choked: "Remember, remember." ”

Zhu Di frowned and scolded: "The man of the old Zhu family, what are you crying about, are you the species of the Zhu family?" ”
