39. The first step in the difficulty of appeasement
The next morning, the sun shone through the dark clouds that had been dark for many days, and shone on the northern land.
Although Zhu Di was angry and aggrieved in his heart, he knew that he and Zhu Yunwen had no room for reconciliation, and he killed the official of the imperial court, Changshi, and blamed it, and the entire Yanwang Mansion had to make amends.
Noticing that Zhu Di's face was solemn and seemed to be a little worried, Cheng Yuan was also afraid that Zhu Di would blame himself at that time, so he hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, the boy feels that this matter is a rare opportunity, Zhang Xin's secret letter must not be wrong, therefore, the prince does not have to worry about anything else, the court wants to attack the palace, and there will be no fake." ”
Zhu Di frowned, there is really no turning back after this matter is done.
"Tell me, I'd like to hear your opinion, kid."
From the beginning called sir, it is respectful.
And then to Cheng Yuan, which is familiar.
Calling him a kid now is already familiar among the familiar.
"Hmm." Cheng Yuan nodded and said: "Lord, knowing people and talking about things, starting from King Zhou, to King Qi being arrested, to Prince Xiang being said to be plotting rebellion, these things are all showing that the purpose of the imperial court is to cut Tibet."
At that time, I didn't dare to explain the matter of raising troops, and only thought that the theater could be used as a place to make weapons, but who knows, but it aroused the suspicion of the imperial court, and Ge Cheng burned the building.
The prince of Xiang was there, replacing the princess of Xiang...... The people who burned were discovered by the imperial court, and I am partly responsible for these things. ”
Zhu Di nodded and said: "I know about this matter, but this king doesn't blame you, now is what to do next." ”
Cheng Yuan smiled, to put it bluntly, this is a plan for hegemony, since he already knows the direction of history, then he is sorry for himself if he doesn't pretend to be a force.
Of course, the members can't just say to Zhu Di directly, Zhu Laosi will win, he still has to find an excuse to keep this matter for the dead old man who told the fortune.
"Lord, I saw my grandfather calculate a hexagram and read a few words. I remember clearly, the song is called: Mo chases the swallow, chases the swallow will fly high, fly high God. Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "What does the prince mean?" ”
The nursery rhyme mentioned by Cheng Yuan is now said in advance, and it will be promoted and sung in various mansions in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the impact is simply great.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean, this is the omen?" ”
Cheng Yuan nodded, and gave Zhu Laosi a thumbs up directly, smart!
"Take Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising as an example, the princes and generals are the prime ministers, and they would rather have a kind? The first emperor is the best example.
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, there were nursery rhymes in Jingzhou in the early years of Jian'an, and they began to decline in eight or nine years, and there were no children left in thirteen years.
There are also the three dukes of Wu attributed to Sima. Huang Zhangge in the Ruyi period of Wu Zetian. The ballad of Yang Liu after the Yongchun year of Tang Zhongzong. ”
Zhu Di understood what that nursery rhyme meant.
Don't chase the king of Yan, if you are in a hurry, the king of Yan will fly high and finally become the emperor.
Cheng Yuan mentioned the nursery rhymes of various dynasties in history earlier, and now he has come down to Zhu Di after talking about it.
The answer is so obvious and explicit that it's very explicit.
Among the vassal kings, only the king of Qi made a big fuss in order to repair the mansion and was imprisoned by the imperial court.
Let's talk about the king of Xiang, this king of Xiang did print his own treasure money, and used nine dragon pillars, nine tripods and gates, but he didn't deserve to die according to his crime.
The worst thing is to say that the king of Zhou, who was thrown to Yunnan to be a savage without being innocent, isn't this just forcing the kings to raise troops.
They are all the sons of the first emperor, and less than a year after the death of the first emperor, he knocked down several sons of others.
"All the princes are the children of the first emperor, and the first emperor is here, and he is reluctant to dispose of you. Prince Yiwen treats the princes very well. Can the emperor and grandson be so cruel, the matter is very obvious, someone is bad, what should the princes of all walks of life do? The prince is their eldest brother, so he should have an idea. ”
When Cheng Yuan said this, it was actually obvious.
Zhu Di pondered and asked: "Do you want to say that there are traitors in the court, and I should enter the king of Jingqin." ”
"Yes, Jing Nan!" Cheng Yuan nodded.
"Lord, let's take what the new emperor did after he ascended the throne, that group of civil officials got the most benefits, and they even intensified their efforts and changed the taxes set by the first emperor, also for the sake of that group of civil officials.
Since these officials have wiped out the sons of the first emperor, why don't the princes break the old Ming Dynasty and use their own abilities to change the days for the new emperor and recast the world.
Let the sun and moon shine everywhere, all are the prosperous times of the Ming Dynasty, and wherever the horse's hooves go, they are all the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Di seriously thought about and analyzed what Cheng Yuan said, he knew Zhu Yunwen's character better than Cheng Yuan, and this eldest nephew really had a big change in his mother's personality.
If you want to say smart and filial, nonsense, it must be smart, how can you bring down Zhu Yunxi, the grandson, if you are not smart, how can you harvest Zhu Yuanzhang's heart if you are not filial?
But many times, this is Zhu Yunwen's true nature, and many times it is not because of what he has become, but because Zhu Yunwen's true appearance is like this.
He has a sense of alienation from these imperial uncles because he originally felt that these imperial uncles were tigers and big bad wolves.
I want to eat his little sheep.
So much so, under the bewitchment of Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Zhuo Jingfang's filial piety, they were directly crooked into the ditch.
"Boy, you mean that I should go to Beijing to get rid of traitors and seek justice for the kings." Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "But in my hands, there are less than a thousand soldiers and horses." ”
Cheng Yuan was not surprised, he smiled and said: "The prince is right, it is indeed the lack of soldiers and horses in your hands now. However, as long as there is enough confidence and ability, less than 1,000 people can plan for great things. ”
What he said was categorical, but it made Zhu Di slightly stunned.
Cheng Yuan really didn't talk nonsense, as long as he was not a fool when he studied history, he knew that Zhu Di was only more than 800 when he raised the army.
"Lord Wang, I can also recommend some people here, that is, my former brothers and friends, who can work for the prince." Cheng Yuan smiled.
"Really? Are you kid sure? Zhu Di was a little surprised.
But what Cheng Yuan said was categorical, and Zhu Di had no room for doubt.
"Lord Wang, you are also forced to have no way to raise an army, otherwise the Yan Wangfu family will be homeless like King Zhou and King Xiang.
I'm really worried that one day the imperial army will be dispatched, and then the prince will be a imprisoned swallow, which is really dangerous. Therefore, I am willing to do everything I can to help the prince seek the world, even if I am scolded for being rebellious, I admit it. ”
Zhu Di's body stiffened, and Cheng Yuan's words were making him rebel, but it reached Zhu Di's heart.
And the court didn't stop at all, they were still collecting evidence from the kings, and they didn't mean to let anyone go at all.
Zhu Di's unimpressed is fake, but their strength is limited.
"Boy, I understand what you mean, raise troops in the name of Jingnan, get rid of traitors, and find a way to live for yourself. I also want to let the court know that King Yan is not something to be pinched.
As for the ballad, you want to open the hearts of the people for me in the people. ”
Cheng Yuan smiled: "Yes, but this is only my first step, the prince is smart, and he is a strong player in the march and battle, so I can only do something else for the prince." ”
Zhu Di got up. Then Zhu Bai, Daoyan monk, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Xin, Yuan Rong, Qiu Fu, Yuan Zhongche, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and others were ordered to rush.
