Twenty-fourth: The end of the black hand behind the scenes (Chinese New Year's Eve)
Huang Da (Zhu Biao) left, but his mood was a little wrong, looking a little disappointed and a little thoughtful.
"You are a child of an official eunuch, a future member of the civil service, you are thoughtful!" Zhu Yang looked at Huang Da (Zhu Biao)'s back and muttered a few words.
The date of the temple examination has been determined.
According to the usual practice, after participating in the palace examination, the imperial court will arrange the top-ranked jinshi to enter the Hanlin Academy to observe the government, and if the performance is good, they will stay in the capital and be promoted all the way; If you don't behave well, or if you are disgusted by a certain boss, you will be exiled or die of old age in the Hanlin Courtyard.
But these are not what Zhu Yang wants, Zhu Yang just wants the title of a jinshi.
In order to make it easier to resign in the future, Zhu Yang could only disguise himself as an arrogant jinshi first, just like Xie Jin.
After Xie Jin won the Jinshi, he was soon appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Then Xie Jin completely let himself go, first dereliction of duty by his colleagues in the military department, and then went to the table to avenge Li Shanchang's grievances, and then impeached Yuan Tai, the right capital.
Xie Jin is like a teddy who catches whoever he is.
In the end, in order to protect Xie Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang had to order Xie Jin's father to take Xie Jin home to study behind closed doors and hone his heart!
There is a forefront, Zhu Yang decided to imitate and imitate, and now he can use the prince to try his hand.
Zhu Yang had already learned from the side before that Huang Danai was the prince's companion and had a good relationship with the prince.
If General Huang told the prince everything today, presumably the prince would be impressed by him, and then disgusted, and then Zhu Yang would be able to roll up the cover and leave.
As for Huang Da saying that he would let him see Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao, it was impossible.
But killing them both was imperative.
Zhu Yang will never tolerate people with malicious intentions towards him living in this world.
So when he knew that the masterminds behind the rumors were these two goods, Zhu Yang had already written the ending for these two people - Zhu Rong, the king of Qin, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, felt very guilty for spreading the rumors, so they chose to commit suicide in fear of crime and apologize to those who were hurt with their lives.
Isn't it plain to see them at this time?
It's just that the only thing that makes Zhu Yang a little entangled now is: After Li Jinglong's death, what should be done in the Battle of Jingjing?
As an important figure in the Battle of Jingyan, Li Jinglong is a qualified Erwuzai, who delayed the fighter plane many times in the early stage and made Zhu Di continue to grow and grow obscenely, and also used many large-scale defeats to send a lot of equipment to Zhu Di; In the later period, he directly opened the city gate and welcomed Zhu Di to the throne.
Zhu Di successfully won the Battle of Jingyan, and Li Jinglong had at least three successful battles.
The most intuitive is that in the first year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 to attack Beiping, at this time Zhu Di had already led the elite to Yongping, and then went to attack Daning, and only the prince Zhu Gaochi and the princess Xu Miaoyun were holding on to Beiping City.
Even so, Li Jinglong attacked several times but did not attack until a certain time in Sichuan, and Qu Neng led his son and personal guards to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Zhangye defenders to fight hard and attack the city, and opened the city gate.
Such a good opportunity, ordinary generals will naturally not let it go, but Li Jinglong is the same, he thinks that Qu Neng can break through this door, and he can also break through it, so he actually ordered Qu Neng to withdraw from the city.
As a result, Zhu Gaochi not only strengthened the defense of Zhangye Gate afterwards, but also took advantage of the cold weather to use ice cubes to build an extremely strong ice wall in Zhangye Gate.
Li Jinglong's 500,000 army did not capture Beiping City, but was completely defeated by Zhu Di, who came to help.
If Beiping City is broken in one fell swoop at that time, and Zhu Di's family is wiped out, then the trend of the Battle of Jingjing may be different.
It's just that there were no assumptions at that point.
But now there is.
Once Zhu Biao dies of illness due to wind and cold next year, as in history, Zhu Yunwen will take advantage of the situation to succeed to the throne, and under the guidance of all "insightful" civil officials, it will be imperative to cut the feudal domain.
At that time, Li Jinglong had already turned into a handful of sand, and naturally he would not become the coach.
Who becomes the coach has become a variable, and this variable will directly lead to the success or failure of the battle of Jingjing.
To be honest, in Zhu Yang's heart, a hundred Zhu Yunwen can't be worth one Zhu Di.
You must know that from the Hu Weiyong case to the Lanyu case, Zhu Yuanzhang killed almost all the generals who could fight.
However, at this time, the border of the Ming Dynasty did not need strong generals to garrison.
The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north are still strong, Annam in the south is always jumping around, and there are still Japanese robbers along the coast.
In this situation, Zhu Di can choose to personally lead the army to the north, but can Zhu Yunwen do it?
The answer is definitely no!
In case Zhu Di did not win the battle of Jingyan, those vassal kings who could fight were cut off one by one.
Where can Zhu Yunwen, who is sitting on the throne, take Daming towards? Zhu Yang was a little afraid to think about it.
After all, Zhu Yunwen is a brain-dead who can order the soldiers in front of him to "not let me kill my uncle's name" when the two sides are fighting, even if he advances the change of Tumu Fort, Zhu Yang will not be surprised.
But this is not what Zhu Yang wants.
Although Zhu Yang wanted to go to the Americas to develop at the beginning of his crossing, the land of Daming was his root after all, and he didn't want Daming to be good and strong all the time, or to sinicize the Jurchens before the country, or to destroy the Jurchens even more simply.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, if Zhu Yunwen really eats shit and wins the Yongle Emperor, then I will lead my overseas army to end Zhu Yunwen's Ming in advance!" Zhu Yang lay on the recliner, looking at the somewhat dazzling sunlight, and secretly decided.
Since history has changed because of himself, he will be responsible for it to the end.
A man can't lift his pants and forget the one behind him.
……
In the imperial study, Zhu Biao rushed in after returning from the small courtyard.
"How's it going, what's that kid's mood like?" Zhu Yuanzhang put down the piece in his hand and asked.
"Okay, my eyes are rolling, I guess I'm thinking about some bad thoughts, but Zhu Yang seems to have a big opinion about civil officials!" Zhu Biao poured himself a glass of water and said, not as lost or thoughtful as he did in the small courtyard.
As a prince for so many years, Zhu Biao has his own city.
"How?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest.
Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang about the conversation with Zhu Yang in the small courtyard.
"Haha...... This kid, sure enough, is the emperor's material, the problem is very thorough, it seems that our previous discussion was right, let him mix in the officialdom for a few more years, and then both civil officials and military generals will be cleaned up by this kid, and we don't need to worry about this kid! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
"Yes, our Ming Dynasty will definitely surpass Han Tang!" Zhu Biao nodded.
"You go and arrange it, don't have any rights and wrongs before the palace test, this time the palace test will let us see if our eldest grandson can give us a big surprise!" Zhu Yuanzhang commanded.
"Another ......" Zhu Yuanzhang paused.
"Father......" Zhu Biao's face also changed, and he wanted to step forward to support Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We're fine!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Although one is our son and the other is our nephew's son, both have our blood flowing in their bodies, but if they do such a thing, we must be ruthless, otherwise we will give other rebels an illusion." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It's also our fault, we have always emphasized brotherhood and friendship, but we have forgotten our identity, the emperor's family is not only a brother but also a monarch and a minister, and the identity of a monarch and a minister is completely different......"
Zhu Biao was silent, he had always wanted to maintain this brotherly and friendly situation, but no matter how hard he tried, the second child still passed the line.
"Message!" Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists and said loudly, "Order Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, to cut himself, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, to confiner Fengyang, and the throne of the king of Qin will be inherited by the eldest son Zhu Shangshan......"
