Zhang Yi had a dark face and flicked his sleeves: "Farewell!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw two big men standing in front of him, holding knives in their hands, and their faces were full of hideousness.

Zhang Yi turned around and looked angry: "Yang Dan, do you really want to rebel?" ”

Yang Dan's expression was grim and waved his hand to the two strong men outside the door.

The two men understood, closed the door, and continued to stand guard outside the door.

Zhang Yi said again: "Rebellion is a big crime of the Nine Clans, you have to think clearly!" ”

Yang Dan smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't want to rebel, so why do I want to rebel?" ”

"What do you mean by those words you just said?"

"Brother Zhang, as the second assistant of the cabinet, why are you so popular?"

Zhang Yi was even more confused and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Yang Dan shook his head and sighed: "You and I have been brothers for twenty years, I will talk about my heart today, let me ask you, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when did we, who are ministers, stop fighting with the one above?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "My generation of scholars should set up their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the common people, and open peace for all generations. ”

Yang Dan couldn't help but laugh, and asked again: "Okay, let me ask you again, how am I to Emperor Taizu?" ”

Zhang Yi didn't know why, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Emperor Taizu started with cloth clothes and eliminated the rule of the tyrannical yuan, Wen Taowu is unmatched, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an emperor through the ages." ”

"You're all compliments, don't you have anything else to say? Or is it ...... You don't dare to say it at all? ”

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Zhang Yi was a little anxious, and said: "Emperor Taizu is brutal, the four great eucalyptus of Hongwu are implicated by tens of thousands, and hundreds of officials are miserable, this is the past!" ”

"Haha, haha!"

Yang Dan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said: "You are right, even if you are Emperor Taizu, a tyrant who kills people without blinking, after entering his old age, the tiger has no fangs, is it still honestly at the mercy of others?" ”

Zhang Yi looked shocked and said, "Where did you hear these words?" How was Emperor Taizu at the mercy of others in his later years? ”

There were only two people in the room, and Yang Dan no longer concealed it, and said: "Brother Zhang, you come from a humble background, and there are some things that you haven't understood so far, and no one has mentioned them to you, so I don't blame you." ”

Zhang Yi's brows furrowed, but he didn't refute.

The people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty are already a luxury to be able to eat and dress warmly, let alone study.

Therefore, as long as they can participate in the imperial examination, without exception, they are all landlords and gentry, at least they have surplus food at home and can afford to support their children to study.

Zhang Yi was born in an ordinary squire's family, and he was not a famous family in the local area, but a small landowner.

Such a background, in the scholar class, can indeed only be regarded as low.

Yang Dan is the son of Yang Pu, the former cabinet chief, and has dealt with various dignitaries since he was a child.

In his heart, Zhang Yi was picked up by his father.

Today's speech is clear, and my heart is much happier.

"There are no outsiders today, so I'll tell you how Prince Yiwen got it!"

Zhang Yi was shocked when he heard this, pointed at Yang Dan, and even trembled a little: "You...... What are you talking about? Didn't Prince Yiwen die of illness? ”

Yang Dan sneered and said, "If he doesn't move the capital, how can he die violently?" ”

Zhang Yi only felt that his whole body was weak, and the whole person fell to sit on the Taishi chair, his face was pale.

When an official reaches his position, he will naturally know many things that ordinary people don't know.

Regarding the cause of the death of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, there are indeed some theories circulating inside and outside the court, but without evidence, he regarded it as gossip and ignored it.

Hearing Yang Dan say these words today, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he was chilled.

Yang Dan's father, Yang Pu, once served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and personally experienced the changes from Jianwen to the Yongle Dynasty, so he must know more about some things in the previous dynasty.

It is rumored that Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, died violently, just because of the relocation of the capital!

When Zhu Yuanzhang was in Nanjing, the world was still in turmoil, and the territory he could control was limited.

Later, because Nanjing's strategic depth was easy to attack and difficult to defend, it was not suitable to be the capital, so it began to consider moving the capital.

even considered his hometown Fengyang, and later built a palace.

In July of the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang first transferred 5,000 wealthy households to Xi'an.

Just a month later, Zhu Biao also passed.

In October, Zhu Yuanzhang transferred Feng Sheng, Duke of Yingguo, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu, Duke of Liang Guo, to help Zhu Biao, which is very suspicious.

When the prince went out to investigate, didn't he go to war, and he needed the protection of so many powerful generals?

It can be seen that the court is opposed to the move, and there are many opponents, and the power is very great, which cannot be ignored.

In November, Zhu Biao returned to Nanjing after his inspection, and Zhu Yuanzhang officially announced the relocation of the capital to Xi'an.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sixty-five years old, and he had handed over all the power to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao was naturally busy with the matter of moving the capital.

However, only five months later, Zhu Biao, who was only thirty-five years old and in the prime of life, suddenly disappeared!

The relevant records only say that he was seriously ill and incurable, and since Zhu Biao did not officially ascend the throne, there is no separate living record, and there is no detailed record of what illness he died of.

Some people privately said that Zhu Biao's violent death was murdered.

However, Zhang Yi has always thought that such a statement is just gossip and not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly, it was brought up again by Yang Dan today, and looking at what he meant, it didn't look like it was fake.

Zhang Yi felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Are these words said by the teacher?" ”

Yang Dan didn't shy away from it at all, nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Zhang Yi gasped and asked again, "What do you mean by telling me this?" ”

"What is this?"

Yang Dan sneered again and said: "I'll tell you one more thing, Prince Yiwen, the storage position is empty, Emperor Taizu once said to Baiguan, the country has a long monarch, the blessing of Sheji, the king of Yan, I want to establish it, what is it?"

Zhang Yi was even more shocked and asked, "You mean...... Emperor Taizu had intended to pass on King Yan to succeed to the throne? ”

Yang Dan said: "This is what I want to tell you, who the emperor wants to appoint as the prince, and who the throne of the world will pass on, it is not up to him to decide!" ”

Zhang Yi still didn't believe it, shook his head reluctantly, and said, "This is all your words, I don't believe it!" ”

Yang Dan waved his hand and said, "Emperor Taizu also issued an edict to King Yan before he died: My sons, you are only capable of being talented. Qin and Jin have died, and you are really long. Who is it that is outside and inside? ”

"Who is the big seat going to wear, you don't need me to say, right?"

"You...... What exactly are you trying to say? ”
