After Zhang Xianzong left, Yang Feng sat there looking at Nanjing City outside with a deep face.

It's a conspiracy.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy.

Coax him out in this way, and give it to someone outside to see if they can kill him.

In the final analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to kill him all the time, but the problem is that he can't do it himself, which will lead to the breakdown of the relationship between the two sides and force him to take risks, in case he really kills the palace, it will not be good. So coax him out to investigate, and then let the dead soldiers of King Jin be responsible for doing it, and it doesn't matter what the result of King Jin is.

In order to kill him, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind losing his son.

Anyway, King Jin is not very honest.

No matter who Zhu Yuanzhang chooses to inherit the throne in the end, King Jin is an unstable factor.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very aware of this.

Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, and King Jin, as an elder brother, would definitely not accept to surrender to his younger brother......

They are all sons-in-law, they all have military merits, and he is still old, why should he surrender to Zhu Di?

What's more, the relationship between the two is already poor.

King Jin also has a large number of people in the northwest who have been in control of the northwest for many years, and there are many cronies under him, as well as Fu Youde and Xie Cheng, who are in-laws, and these veterans, if Zhu Di succeeds to the throne, he will definitely rebel in the northwest.

Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, needless to say, the assassination of the old account of the eucalyptus must also be calculated, and the king of Jin will sit back and wait to be killed?

Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he sat in the northwest with his merits, and the lowest is also the trend of separation, not to mention why he supports Zhu Yunwen, isn't it because Zhu Yunwen is weak and easy to control? And the result of weakness and easy control is not that his uncle can control the power, and even unite with other vassal kings to create a situation where the strong branches are weak and the cadres are weak, and then finally come to the new version of the Eight Kings Rebellion for the sake of interests. This is actually very possible, the most dangerous result of the Jingnan Revolution is actually the Eight Kings Rebellion, but Zhu Di's military ability is too strong to overwhelm other vassal kings, so Jingnan did not become the Eight Kings Rebellion. But the ability of King Jin is not as good as Zhu Di, and the result of his desire to control the government is that the other vassal kings are not convinced, and in the end they show their magical powers and stir the Ming into a pot of porridge.

Lao Zhu has a mind that will deduce all kinds of possible results.

From the moment his third son intervened in the struggle, he probably had already begun to consider all possibilities.

This son can't stay.

Let him fight with Yang Feng!

Being killed by Yang Feng is considered to be his dedication to the Zhu family, he has the ability to kill Yang Feng, and that can be taken by privately making arms, caught and locked up in Fengyang, so the whole incident was allowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di is playing with his father.

"Ma, one of your fathers has already given me a headache, and now with your fourth brother, two old thieves are going to blow up my head!"

Yang Feng said angrily.

The little princess raised her head, pushed her glasses, and looked at him blankly.

These are clearly beyond her IQ range.

"And you're going?"

She said cautiously.

She also saw that Yang Feng was very serious now.

"Go, why don't you go, your third brother hasn't settled the old account of killing me yet!"

Yang Feng said.

"But, you can't kill my third brother."

The little princess said in a pleading tone.

"Okay, it's your brother anyway, if you don't kill it, you won't kill it, but I don't guarantee anything else!"

Yang Feng said.

"As long as you don't kill!"

The little princess waved her hand imposingly.

Obviously, her affection for Zhu Li is limited to this, in fact, in terms of age, the number of times she and her third brother have met in this life is in single digits, Zhu Li was a vassal in the eleventh year of Hongwu, she was born in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, and Zhu Li was already in Taiyuan when she was born. It is impossible for her to go to Taiyuan, and it is impossible for Zhu Li to enter the court once a year, even if she enters the court, she may not necessarily see this sister, so the two of them will definitely meet no more than ten times in their lives, and for such a brother, it is true that they will not kill it.

If you don't kill, you'll be worthy of him.

You must know that he tried to kill Yang Feng, if it wasn't for his third brother, the little princess would think that it was better for such a person to be killed quickly.

As for the relationship between the little princess and Zhu Di, it is actually mainly because she went to Liaodong last time, and she is more familiar with Zhu Di's two sons.

However, Yang Feng didn't care about Zhu Li.

His target was not Zhu Li in the first place.

In this way, the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor was officially issued the next day, with Wang Ping, a merchant from Shanxi, taking the lead in reporting the Jin Dynasty Gong Zheng Hu Xin Yu Datongye for his ill intentions to make arms privately, and the Imperial Shi Lai Gong of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court went to Taiyuan to investigate with Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and invited Yang Feng, the envoy of the Great Xia State, to accompany him as an adviser.

Departure today.

Datongye is actually in Jiaocheng, which is one of the major official metallurgies in Shanxi, and it is also the main production area of the armaments of the Jin Dynasty and the Taiyuan Guard.

In fact, Yang Feng's guess should be right, not only King Jin, but also Zhu Di and these people should also be privately making munitions in the iron-smelting base under their control, and even Zhu Yuanzhang probably knew about it a long time ago, but he just pretended not to know.

After all, it's a matter of time.

Previously, the Ministry of Industry had banned the manufacture of these munitions in places outside of the factories in the capital, but Zhu Yunxi insisted on it, and the latter did not want his uncles to master the manufacture of these new weapons. But for Zhu Yuanzhang, this kind of prevention is not necessary, and new tactics and weapons must be promoted sooner or later, so that his sons make them privately, and there is no need to delve into them.

Anyway, they built it to strengthen the combat effectiveness of their own guards.

But now it can only be checked.

Longjiang Pass.

"Come to Gong, you are light and simple!"

Yang Feng looked at his partner with interest.

The latter was alone.

However, there were fifty brocade guards guarding them, in addition to the four officials who accompanied Lai Gong, but they were official personnel, and Lai Gong had no entourage.

"Old and poor, the only old servant in the family, I have to stay and take care of my family!"

Lai Gong stroked his beard and said.

He is indeed very poor, some people accused him of corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly poked and ran to raid, but he was hoeing vegetables in the yard, his wife was spinning and weaving, His Majesty the Emperor was happy, and finally determined that his officials were really honest, and then turned around and chopped up the person who sued him.

Of course, this is only in the capital, and it is difficult to say what it is like in the hometown.

He is a native of Shaanxi.

Shaanxi Yaozhou Sanyuan, and the Sanyuan clan is the main eunuch family in Shaanxi in the late Ming Dynasty, especially the Jialong Wansan Dynasty, each generation of the Sanyuan clan has more than five officials, which is an important member of the Shaanxi Confucian family.

"There are no fertile fields in my hometown?"

Yang Feng said.

"The old man's hometown of Yaozhou Sanyuan, if the ambassador is interested in this trip, you can go over to have a look, although the old man has no wine and food, but the coarse tea and rice can still be entertained."

Lai Gong said.

"Then what are you trying to do as an official?"

Yang Feng hugged Chunji's small waist and said with a villainous face.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. If the official only seeks profit, then what is the difference between him and a businessman, a gentleman only cultivates and reads the world, and his daily life is just coarse tea and rice, food and drink, and there is only a wife with bad chaff around him, what is the use of money for me? ”

Lai Gong said.

"It's good to come to the public!

The ambassador does not read the books of the sages, and indeed he cannot understand these things.

If the ambassador is interested, Lao Yu is willing to give away a few copies, so that the people of Great Xia can know the way of the sages. ”

Liu Sanwu, who saw him off next to him, said.

"You agree with what he said?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"This is the way that we Confucian scholars seek."

Liu Sanwu stroked his beard and said.

"That's good, calculate your Liu's farm property, leave it for you to eat and drink, and give the rest to those tenants?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, this is the legacy of our ancestors, how dare you abandon it!"

Old Liu said with a smile.

"How did your ancestors get it?"

Yang Feng said.

"Naturally, it is the result of hard work."

Old Liu Tou said.

He didn't fall for Yang Feng, his family was an official in the Hu Yuan Dynasty, and recently the public opinion was led by Yang Feng's book of Erchen Lu to start attacking their old families, he dared to say anything else, it was easy for Yang Feng to be brought to this issue by Yang Feng, and someone was already mentioning to Yang Feng the situation of their family in the Song Dynasty, and it was obvious that he was preparing to get his family into Erchenlu.

This Erchenlu has caused panic in the hearts of the people recently.

Many famous Confucians were compiled into the Second Ministers Record because their ancestors were officials in the Song Dynasty and surrendered to Hu Yuan.

But there was nothing to be done.

After all, even the emperor had nothing to do with Yang Feng.

As for these famous Confucians, they can only endure it, and then try to explain Hu Yuan's legitimacy.

But......

Even if they can do their best to explain Hu Yuan's legitimacy, they still can't change the issue of rechens, after all, even if Hu Yuan is orthodox, then being an official of the Song Dynasty and then surrendering to Hu Yuan is still a retainer. Loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, as long as you are the second master, then you are a second minister, and if Hu Yuan is orthodox, then those of them who have been Hu Yuan officials and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty are still second ministers.

This one really can't be washed.

The point is that this theory is in line with Confucian standards.

Confucianism, especially science, shouts that loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, and even widows cannot remarry, so how they justify these are useless, they can only silently endure the records of the second ministers, and endure the ridicule of those ignorant people.

Yang Feng, the bastard, also set up a row of signs that were updated from time to time at the foot of Wutai Mountain, and all the characters on the second minister's record and their current reproduction of children and grandchildren were all marked, especially those whose descendants are still officials, and it is even more important, which makes many officials gnash their teeth about this. Moreover, he also claimed that one book would be published for every 100 people, and that after he had saved up enough 100 people, he would compile a book for printing and distribution, and it was said that the first book had already been finalized and was being prepared for printing and distribution, and that he was also using the banks in various places to prepare for public sale.

Draw young.

Some books have gold leaves in them, and a book is not worth much, but if you are lucky enough to buy one with gold leaves, you will make a lot of money.

It's crazy!

Countless officials are beating their chests.

In addition, Hu Yuan's legitimacy was also shaken by Yang Feng's theory of merit.

After all, the former is based on the Mandate of Heaven theory, but Yang Feng's theory overturns the Mandate of Heaven theory, but it reasonably explains the rule of the Zhu family, which also makes Confucianism very uncomfortable.

Grab business!

He is robbing the emperor's legitimacy to interpret the right.

In short, the relationship between Confucianism and civil officials and Yang Feng is becoming more and more incompatible, which is also the reason why more and more civil officials and Confucian scholars support Zhu Yunxi, after all, Zhu Yunxi supports the theory of merit, once he succeeds to the throne, Confucianism loses the right to interpret the legitimacy of the emperor.

"Reclamation.

Your Excellency's ancestors, also look at this word very closely, obviously dozens of acres of thin fields are enough to coarse tea and rice, eat and drink, and then live the life of cultivating and reading heirlooms, why do you have to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres and then collect rent and enjoy the tenants' support? Your Excellency enjoys the fertile land left by your ancestors, and you can sit and enjoy the offerings of tenants, and as far as I know, your youngest concubine is only in her forties, right? Eighty old men and forty concubines, Your Excellency is not a bad wife! They talk about farming and reading heirlooms, but they are actually landlords who collect rent, relying on the blood and sweat of tenants to support, and they actually have beautiful concubines.

Although there is nothing wrong with this, this inconsistency in words and deeds also seems to be inconsistent with a gentleman, right?

Come on, I'm not talking about you.

You really don't have a concubine. ”

Yang Feng said.

Liu Sanwu stroked his beard in embarrassment, he didn't expect Yang Feng to investigate him so clearly, he did take a concubine when he was in his fifties.

"The ambassador has a beautiful concubine, but he is talking about others here?"

Huang Zicheng sneered.

"I didn't say that I eat and drink, the wife of the chaff, I like brocade clothes and jade food, I like the wife and concubine, left and right, I never regard myself as a gentleman, I think the pursuit of interests, the pursuit of enjoyment is right, as long as the pursuit is clean.

It's not like you keep saying that you want to be a gentleman, and you don't want businessmen to pursue profits, but in the end you are still reluctant to make profits. ”

Yang Feng said.

A bunch of civil servants on the dock stood there awkwardly.

"Ambassador, it's time to board the ship."

Lai Gong said.

Yang Feng looked at him with some surprise.

This old guy doesn't seem to be interested in his discussions with these people, but it's actually understandable when you think about it, as a native of Shaanxi, even if he is a civil official, he can't really be compatible with these southern civil officials.

In the eyes of the civil officials and Confucian scholars in the south, they were similar to the barbarians in the north.

"Guys, can you be more sincere?"

Yang Feng then said to Liu Sanwu and others.

After saying that, he hugged Chunji's small waist, and walked to the gangplank, and his special carriage had also been loaded, and then Gong and others also boarded the boat, they crossed the Yangtze River, and then went north to Fengyang through Qingliu Pass, and then from Fengyang to Kaifeng to the west and then crossed the Yellow River to the north, and then went north to Taiyuan by Tianjing Pass to Zezhou.

This is the post road from Beijing to Taiyuan.

This is the horse post.

In addition, there is a water horse post, but the route to Kaifeng has become a waterway.

But it needs to go around in a big circle.

From Yangzhou to the north to Hongze Lake to Fengyang and then to Shouchun to go north to the Yinghe River, at this time the Yellow River is still part of the Yinghe River, this water transport line is much more stable than the Xuzhou one, but no matter what, in the end it is to converge to Kaifeng Daliangyi, as for the route from Kaifeng to Taiyuan is no different. Therefore, they had to go to Kaifeng first to see King Zhou, which was indispensable, because all the way was a post station, and all the food and carriages were all in charge of the post station, and the whole trip went smoothly.
