Chapter 31: Let's try

With Zhu Yuanzhang's original temperament, loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that these people are loyal to him. But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in any unconditional loyalty, and Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the troubled times. I don't even believe my own nephew, I've seen too many things about ministers killing kings and kings killing ministers. Didn't his biggest opponent, Chen Youliang, kill his own sovereign?

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that all loyalties come with strings attached.

In other words, loyalty and surrender are one and the same. is a secondary option that cannot be replaced.

He was in one day, and these people were obedient. He is gone, what will these arrogant generals with grievances do to the young master?

"This is not a young minister." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately came up with this sentence in his heart, which was Emperor Jing of Han's judgment of Zhou Yafu, so Zhou Yafu wanted to rebel underground.

It's just that at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the history He Xi told him.

Suddenly, there was a change in my mind.

If according to the development of history, Zhu Yuanzhang has to clean up these cowardly ministers. But after all, it's been an old brother for many years. Really no emotion at all? Don't say anything else, just Lu Zhongheng just said. Zhu Yuanzhang remembers it clearly. He was in rags. I don't even have the clothes to see people. There is only a bucket of rice on his body, which is the last bit of property in the family, and he will be gone after eating.

It was still Queen Ma who cleaned up for him and sewed up his clothes. It's like giving people.

first served as a personal soldier by his side, and then saw that he had a chance, so he let him go out to lead the soldiers.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a lot of such people. Zhu Yuanzhang only accepted more than 30 righteous sons. But now, the only active person around him is Mu She. I think of the days when I shared weal and woe, and I think of the old brothers who died on the battlefield back then.

Think about the fate of these people in history. Zhu Yuanzhang still feels that they are to blame.

But the iron-clad heart also has a little tenderness at the moment.

If he could, Zhu Yuanzhang might not be willing to start and finish well with his old brothers. So, although he scolded Tang and Slippery Head, he was also thinking about Tang and this idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that there are huge benefits.

Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands. Now his team is not as good as his entrepreneurial team. Not to mention anything else, invite Li Shanchang back, even if he doesn't do anything, and go to the center for a stop, the following situation is completely different.

Most of Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and official system was brought out by Li Shanchang. Even why did Zhu Yuanzhang raise the Zhexi Group. It is the right to divide Li Shanchang.

After Zhan Ding and He Xi's plan. Zhu Yuanzhang also understands one thing. That is when it is at sea, it is impossible to think that everything is in the hands of the imperial court as it is on land. In this case, sooner or later, these benefits at sea will have to be shared. If these people are bought with these benefits.

A lot of things are easy to do.

Especially the change.

Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to do it, but only instructed He Xi to do his homework piecemeal. There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the big ship of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly turned 180 degrees, there will be problems. You have to take your time in the U-turn.

Second, interest groups have not been balanced.

In fact, the civilian side is the easiest to settle. They were raised by Zhu Yuanzhang. During the Hongwu period, it was impossible to compete with the Xungui group at all. What Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about is that there will be changes in the army. And the nobles are capable of doing such a thing.

If he can get the support of Huaixi Group, Zhu Yuanzhang will do a lot of things, and he will get twice the result with half the effort.

Yes, the stakes on the ocean are great. But for many policies to be implemented smoothly. It's a good deal.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang still feels aggrieved.

Because of his background, Zhu Yuanzhang actually has a sense of inferiority deep in his heart. Before Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded, his posture was very soft. When you encounter a problem, you can quickly adjust. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there were many problems with recommendations, but in order to let the Ming Dynasty quickly establish the rule of the occupied areas. I used it without hesitation. It can be regarded as a compromise with the local tyrants.

But today's Zhu Yuanzhang is not the original Zhu Yuanzhang.

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is supreme. Already the emperor. He never wanted to bow down for anything else. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang is very jealous of the Huaixi Group. He feared that if he bowed his head today, they would go further tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "I can't come forward for this matter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and called the prince over. Without saying much, he handed the two letters of He Xi and Tang He to the prince, and said, "What do you think?" ”

The prince has nothing to do with the world's major affairs, and the prince still understands the contradictions between Zhu Yuanzhang and those uncles.

This is a very sensitive matter. The prince didn't dare to get involved. But deep down, the prince also hopes that the two sides can reconcile as before. After all, the crown prince is also valued by these old ministers. And these veterans have a good relationship with Queen Ma, which is a very important help for the prince's position to be stable.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak. The prince didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it directly, letting him see this kind of secret letter is itself a statement.

The crown prince was excited in his heart and said: "Father, the minister thinks that Uncle Tang takes care of the overall situation, and his ideas are also excellent. Give it a try. ”

In fact, as far as the prince himself is concerned, he has little interest overseas. After all, the position is different, the interests are different, the crown prince as the future emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's assistant. The crown prince congenitally stood with the Ming bureaucracy, and was not interested in what he could not control. Without him, the interests of this Nanyang can be shared by the imperial court with the nobles and the vassal kings. It is impossible to share the plan with the crown prince. The interests of the crown prince were in the imperial court.

And the interests of the sea, the prince has not yet seen. But the risks at sea, have already been seen. Hundreds of thousands of taels were given to several families and more than a dozen nobles, which was a lot of money, but for the imperial court, it was a small amount of money. And also take the risk of failure.

But if this matter is related to solving the knot between Zhu Yuanzhang and Uncle Huaixi. Then the importance of this one thing is highlighted.

The prince is supported by one hundred and ten thousand.

This is the art of politics, the art of dividing the cake. It's divided. Hello, hello, everyone, the situation is developing in their favor, if the score is not good. It is not impossible to cause trouble within the walls.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since you think so, then try it." Don't lose royal decency, though. ”

The prince said, "Erchen understands. ”

After receiving the task, the prince immediately began to prepare.

However, the prince also knows that going to the pole is not a business. He was intentional on his side, and he couldn't show too much eagerness. And too eagerly. This may not be able to do well, and the first thing he needs to do is to tempt. Send a signal to that side.

Based on this signal, let's take a look at what to do next.

And who should be the person who transmits this signal?

The prince thought to himself. He commanded the people around him, "Go, please come here." I will feast on them. ”

Only this time, the prince invited several more horses.

Because, in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, there were several happy events. Princess Anqing, who has always been difficult, got married, and several princesses behind Princess Anqing got married one after another. There are also several princesses who are married.

Fu Zhong should also perform well in Yunnan, and during the period of guarding Yunnan, he also independently led troops to pacify a few Tusi, so that he could personally go up the mountain, enter the camp alone, and let many Tusi surrender. He has made a lot of contributions. Zhu Yuanzhang was especially gracious and set up his marriage to Princess Shouchun.

However, Princess Shouchun is a little small. I have to wait a year before I get married.

Therefore, the people invited by the prince this time are, Princess Lin'an's concubine Li Qi, which is also the prince's main goal. After all, it is impossible to ignore Li Shanchang about the Huaixi Group. Most of the others are accompaniments. Just like the princess of Ningguo and the horse Meiyin, the princess of Chongning and the princess Niucheng, and the princess of Runing and the horse Lu Xian, as mentioned earlier, the son of Lu Zhongheng. Daimyo princess, concubine Li Jian, and so on.

By the way, Fu Zhong also had an invitation. Although Fu Zhong has not yet married the princess, with Zhu Yuanzhang's rules, it has been decided. That's a certainty, there can be no more changes.
