Taiyuan City Jin Palace.

On the throne of the palace, Zhu Li's thoughts returned to decades ago.

In the winter of the eighteenth year of the former Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Li was born.

At that time, the world was still in turmoil, the internal contradictions of the former Yuan intensified, and the local rebel armies continued to attack the territory of the former Yuan.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang has joined the rebel army, participated in the uprising for six years, and has entered Jiqing and changed his name to Yingtian. Thoroughly control Jiangzuo, Zhejiang, and other places.

Until the twenty-third year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed Chen Youliang. In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, Zhang Shicheng was killed.

The land south of the Yangtze River finally entered the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then changed to the first year of Wu.

Zhu Li's face was a little embarrassed.

In those years, I was born not long ago, and my memory is quite long.

In his memory, his father always discussed military affairs with the ministers of civil and military affairs outside, and the queen mother presided over the house, and the prince, as the elder brother, took on the matter of taking care of the brothers below.

At that time, the world had not yet calmed down, but for Zhu Li, it was the most reassuring and comfortable time.

Because he was young, he did not participate in the life and death disputes that his father experienced. And because he has his brother on it, he doesn't need to take care of his brothers' emotions.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the names of everyone in the family were changed.

Hongwu himself was named the king of Jin in three years, and left Yingtian in eleven years to conquer Taiyuan.

Over the years, Zhu Li has always remembered the strictness of his father and the love of the prince's brother.

Jin Shang will eventually become a big problem for Daming.

The imperial court may or may not know this.

But he has been in Taiyuan for more than ten years, but he is clear.

There should be no more chaos in the world.

Zhu Li's eyes gradually sharpened, and finally woke up from his memories, and opened his eyes to look at the palace chief Shi and Zhu Jiye in front of him.

"Father."

"Lord Wang."

Zhu Jiye and Wang Changshi spoke at the same time.

Zhu Li shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't persuade you again, this king has made up his mind, and he will never leave Taiyuan City for half a step." ”

The prince Shi said in a low voice: "The prince is loyal and patriotic, and his subordinates know this." It's just that this is the decree of His Royal Highness the Taisun, if the prince is not respected, he may be impeached by the imperial court. Second, once Taiyuan was in turmoil and Shanxi was in turmoil, his subordinates were worried that the thieves would covet the prince and threaten the prince to force the court. ”

Zhu Li's face was calm: "As a Jin domain, how can this king flee when he hears the danger?" As a clansman, this king should lead by example and have the responsibility to defend the land. When this king leaves, how can the rest of the palace deal with it? If the thief wants to cause trouble, he can also capture the rest of the king's house.

If this king takes all the people in the palace to Datong and puts them in the big military camp, he will be at peace with his family. But if he acts like this, the thief will inevitably be suspicious, and the arrangement of the court's plan will be delayed.

How can this king do such a thing that endangers the nation? How can this king be a person who is ashamed of his clan and Li Shu? ”

Zhu Li sighed for a long time, his face solemn.

The prince wanted to dissuade him, but found that he couldn't find a reason.

Zhu Jiye pondered for a long time on the side, and said softly: "According to what I know today, His Royal Highness Taisun is probably going to close the door of Shanxi Road and beat dogs. Since the Duke of Liang Guo wants to go to Datong, the army under his command is bound to be stationed south of Shanxi Road.

His Royal Highness Taisun only had to go to Shaanxi Road and Hebei Road to write a letter, and asked the two provinces to strictly guard the east and west sides of Shanxi Road, and then Shanxi Road would be in turmoil, and if there were thieves, they would not be able to get out of Shanxi Road, and it would be impossible to endanger other places in the imperial court. ”

The chief of the palace Shi also said: "There is His Royal Highness King Yan in Hebei, and His Royal Highness King Qin in Shaanxi. Once the thief gets into trouble, he can only go north out of the pass, or go south into Shu. There are Datong soldiers and horses stationed in the north, and it seems that Taisun has been arranged in the south. What the second son said about closing the door and beating the dog is quite appropriate. ”

Zhu Jiye smiled and looked up at Zhu Li on the throne: "Father, the palace should transfer the three guards of the palace into the city to prepare for the stability of the city on the grounds of stability in the city." ”

"No!"

Zhu Li's eyes immediately froze, and he resolutely refused, and said with heavy eyebrows: "The three guards of the palace are not only not allowed to enter the city, but also have to be transferred out of Taiyuan City!" ”

Zhu Li's words were affirmative, and his eyebrows were deep.

It's just that he said this, but it made the prince Changshi and Zhu Jiye suddenly startled, and their faces were surprised.

"Father, if you forget the three guards, the palace will no longer have the ability to defend in Taiyuan City, please think twice!"

Zhu Jiye's face was nervous, and he dissuaded.

All the princes who are in the domain are guarded by the three guards and horses, which is the protection given by the imperial court to the vassal kings, and it is also the confidence that can make these feudal kings who sit in the local area have the confidence to control the place.

Taiyuan, the feudal state of the Jin Dynasty, is located in Shaanxi, on the nine sides, and the soldiers and horses of the three guards are even more powerful.

In these years, whenever there was a will to ask the King of Jin to go out of the customs to conquer the Yuan thieves outside the Guan, they were all to take the three guards of the Jin Wangfu as the Chinese army, and Zhu Li commanded the armies to conquer the desert.

The chief of the palace, Shi Ye, also persuaded: "Please also ask the prince to think twice." Once the three guards leave Taiyuan, the thieves will make trouble, and the palace will have no room for backhand, and the safety of the prince is very important, and the palace will also be in danger. ”

Faced with the persuasion of Zhu Jiye and Changshi, Zhu Li shook his head silently.

"The three guards and horses must leave Taiyuan. If the three guards stay in Taiyuan, when the thieves get up, they will inevitably throw a rat trap. Sanwei left, and these thieves could act more confidently. ”

Zhu Li's eyes flickered slightly.

Since the Jin merchants want to cause trouble in Shanxi, they can help these people.

For many years, Zhu Li often led troops out of the customs to conquer the desert, and he had already developed a lot of courage.

The chief of the palace is worried: "The prince is wise and brave, and he is not afraid of danger." However, the three guards are the power of the palace guards, if all of them are transferred, how should the Jin Palace's palace protect itself at that time? ”

Zhu Li turned his eyes to look at Zhu Jiye beside Changshi, and said with a smile: "Ye'er thinks when the thief should start an accident?" ”

This is the examination school.

Shi Jingsheng, the head of the palace, stood aside and looked sideways at the second son, Zhu Jiye.

Zhu Jiye never thought that his father would ask him such a question.

He lowered his eyelids and frowned in thought.

Zhu Li was not in a hurry.

He was thinking about the future of Shanxi Province and where the road ahead would go after this imminent turmoil.

After a long time.

Zhu Jiye also thought about it, and sorted out what Fang had just thought in his mind again.

Only then did he slowly speak: "The Jin merchants have food and no one, and they all use wealth to attract people's hearts. The son thought that if the Jin merchants wanted to cause trouble, they would inevitably collude with the outside world.

The previous imperial court report said that His Royal Highness Taisun was on his way to the north, and entered Fengyang to pay tribute to the late Xinguo Gong.

The son has been calculating recently, and he feels that this matter is likely to be the White Lotus Sect's secret attack. In addition, recently, there have been accidents on the river, and there have been many rumors in Henan Province.

And the White Lotus Sect is the best at dealing with the local people, going out day and night, and having close contacts, which makes it difficult for his son not to think about it, which is also the handiwork of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect bewitched the local people, colluded and coerced local businessmen and gentry, and the upper and lower were intertwined. If the Jin merchants wanted to make a difference, they would inevitably collude with the White Lotus Sect.

Jin merchants pay money and grain, and the White Lotus teaches people, and if the two conspire, there are rich people who can plot great things. ”

The palace chief Shi's eyes widened and he shouted in a low voice, "White Lotus Sect! ”

Changshi's face was nervous, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look around the palace.

Everyone in the world knows that the White Lotus Sect is the most likely to take the low-level route, and ordinary people, merchants, pawns, etc., may become its members.

Changshi looked at the empty palace, and had already decided in his heart that he would check all kinds of people in the palace today to see if there was a White Lotus Sect who could reach into the palace.

On the throne, Zhu Li saw Changshi's plan and said: "To investigate the affairs of the palace, Changshi has to bother, what should be investigated, and what should be dealt with must be dealt with as soon as possible." ”

Changshi arched his hand: "The subordinates receive orders." ”

Zhu Li turned his head to look at Zhu Jiye again: "Ye'er's calculation and analysis this time is not bad, and his knowledge is quite profound and broad. But you haven't answered the question of fatherhood. ”

The thieves will choose when to start an incident.

Zhu Jiye nodded: "This winter, Taiyuan City is safe. If his son's calculation is correct, the White Lotus Sect will inevitably be in tandem with the Jin Shang. If the son is the mastermind, he should first use the White Lotus Sect to spread rumors in the world, bewitch the people of the world, shake people's hearts, and strip the hearts of the people of the court.

Later, the Jin merchants paid money to induce robbers and dissidents from all over the country to cause chaos, making the court busy and the center chaotic. ”

"When this is the time for the thieves to start an incident?" Zhu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a smile on his face.

Zhu Jiye shook his head and said, "The time has not yet come, and it is not enough to start an incident." ”

"When will the time come?" Zhu Li was also a little curious, hoping to get an unexpected answer from his son's mouth.

Zhu Jiye's expression perked up, he looked up at Zhu Li on the throne, and said in a deep voice: "When there is a big chaos at the border pass, it is the day when the thieves start up!" ”

"Border gates?"

Zhu Li's eyes couldn't help but narrow into a slit.

It was an answer he hadn't envisioned.

How is the Ming Nine Sides today, Zhu Li, who is one of the kings of the Nine Sides, knows best.

The imperial court went all the way west from Shanhaiguan to Yanmen Pass, and hundreds of thousands of border troops guarded the Great Wall inside and outside the Great Wall all the year round.

Hoarding armies in important towns everywhere, ready to support the places attacked by the enemy, hoarding grain, grass and ordnance in important border towns, in the plan of the imperial court, any important town is surrounded by soldiers for half a year, and it can also protect itself from the shortage of grain, grass and ordnance.

Something happened at the border?

Zhu Li didn't believe it in his heart, those thieves who only dared to gather secretly could still make chaos at the border.

Unless now the Jin merchants cut off the military food supply on the nine sides.

It would have to wait for three or five months before the border army would run out of food and grass.

Zhu Jiye explained: "Did my father leave the remnants of the Yuan thief outside the gate? Over the years, the Jin merchants have held the power of the central system and delivered grain and grass materials to the border army.

Although the imperial court was strict, the Jin merchants did not dare to sell the things forbidden by the imperial court in recent years, but who dared to guarantee that these people had never conspired with the Guanwai. ”

The prince was deeply disturbed, and said in a low voice: "The thieves colluded with the outside of the customs to induce the remnants of the thieves outside the customs to knock on the customs? ”

Zhu Jiye nodded and said, "I can only think of this place." Only when the border pass is attacked by the enemy can the eyes of the imperial court be taken away. At that time, the guards inside and outside the border pass will inevitably be involved and will not be able to go south. At that time, internal and external troubles will arise at the same time, and the thieves will be able to do their business in Shanxi Road. ”

Zhu Li's eyes were deep, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Changshi: "Playing Shu Yingtian, playing the princess of the Jin Palace, and the children to go to Yingtian to fulfill their filial piety." When the recital was issued, the princess was asked to take the children south. This king and Ye'er guard Taiyuan City together! ”

The head of the palace, Shi Zhan, nodded: "My subordinates will arrange it." ”

"Slow!" Zhu Jiye immediately spoke, stopped Changshi, and then looked at Zhu Li: "Father, you should present the chapter to the grandson." In this way, it will take too long for the will of the heavens to be sent to Taiyuan City. Taisun is now in Henan Province, and the fatwa came faster. The mother concubine and her younger siblings don't have to set off in such a hurry, and it is not impossible to set off again with the Taisun decree, let alone make the thieves in Taiyuan City suspicious. ”

Zhu Li didn't think much about it, so he nodded and said, "Just do what Ye'er said." In the name of drills, the three guards and horses of the palace went north to Ningwu and were stationed. ”

The head of the palace, Shi bowed and clenched his fists: "The subordinates receive the order, and they will do it." ”

Zhu Li nodded and sat back and watched Changshi retreat.

When it came to the palace, only Zhu Li's father and son were left.

At this time, Zhu Li sighed worriedly.

Zhu Jiye's face changed, and he also sighed in a low voice: "Father is still worried. ”

Zhu Li looked at the calm son in front of him and squeezed out a smile: "The thief will want to make trouble, why don't you worry about your father." ”

Zhu Jiye clasped his hands together, shook his head and said, "But my father still chooses to stay in Taiyuan City, and even more so that all the three guards and horses leave Taiyuan City." ”

Zhu Li stared at Zhu Jiye with deep eyes, and said deeply: "Ye'er, you are the second son of your father, although you are not the son of the Jin Dynasty, you are also a relative of my Ming royal family, and you are also the grandson of the emperor."

You should know that since we were born, we are not ordinary people. How to be worthy of the royal family and the people is what we have to do. ”

Zhu Jiye was silent for a moment and nodded: "My son understands what his father meant. The three guards of the royal palace stayed in Taiyuan City, and the thieves of the Jin merchants would inevitably take care of it. My father wanted to induce the thief to come out with all his strength for the safety of my family, and then the court could take it in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Li's face showed relief: "You can think like this, you are already satisfied with your father, but you haven't said it all." ”

Zhu Jiye's face showed a trace of doubt.

Zhu Li said with a smile: "You also said that the Jin merchants moved people's hearts with their wealth, but do we know how many people in this Shanxi Province have received the wealth of the Jin merchants?" Only by letting everyone see that the Jin Wangfu is not to worry about can these people jump out.

As a clansman, this king is trusted by his father and the crown prince. With your own safety, why not try the loyalty of Shanxi Dao?

Shanxi Province Sansifu County Yamen, various health offices, this king just wants to see which people in this area dare to do great rebellion! ”

On the throne, Zhu Li stood up again.

He crossed his hands on his hips and looked long out of the palace.

He has been fighting all his life, and if the thief wants to take down himself, he has to ask about the knife in his hand.

I want to take a good look at how many people in this Shanxi Province are rebellious.
