Chapter 34: After the Lords

Therefore, when Liu Jing arrives in Liaodong, he will definitely be able to mix with He Xi, even if he may not agree with He Xi's thinking and methods, he will not be held back. It can complete the prince's idea very well.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and said, "You reminded me." That's it. Liaodong is the commander of the envoy, just Wu Gao. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lessons of history and used more flexible means to deal with the nobles. So far, it seems to be very effective. Many nobles were drunk on the sea, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave in in many directions. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to clean up.

It is important to know that now in the Ming Dynasty, people who really support large areas of land. There are two categories, one is the Jiangnan clan. People are thriving, and with a greeting, dozens of villages and tens of thousands of people can gather. Full flood. With this kind of big surname, it seems that no one person owns much land. But taken together, it is not to be underestimated.

The other category is the new dynasty and the new upstart.

It's about the noble people.

In history, before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he had to kill these people, although it was too much. But Zhu Yuanzhang is not old and confused. There's a reason for that. Land was the most important productive resource in ancient times. Whether the land was in the hands of the imperial court. It's about the life and death of a dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang does not tolerate sand in his eyes, and the son he cultivated with his own hands is no longer there. In the face of his overly weak grandson, he also has few options.

But that's no longer the case.

The honorifies certainly exist as a group. But as soon as Lee Shan-chang died, the hub that connected these people was gone. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's differentiation collapsed. There are divisions within the nobles, and there are all factions. It's no longer a resultant force.

But Li Shanchang's death, this incident is a sequelae.

Yes. Many people in the world don't know what's going on? But that doesn't mean you don't know what's going on? In the dead of night, these old ministers may not feel cold.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long wanted to release some signals to appease these old ministers.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and couldn't solve the problem by killing. In other ways, you have to pay attention to some proportions.

What kind of signal is emitted. Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't thought about it yet. But at this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that among the founding fathers, there was a group of people. They fought greatly, but they died early. Some of these people are still influential in the military. For example, often meet spring. His influence has been inherited by Sapphire.

But not everyone is such a powerful character as Chang Yuchun.

It is also natural for people to take tea and cool.

Of course. It's not that these nobles have a hard time. Yes, they have a pretty good life compared to the common people. However, when their parents were there, it was heaven and earth. This is also a very real problem.

In history, when Zhu Yuanzhang purged the people, he also purged this group of people.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang has changed his mind, what he wants is differentiation, differentiation, and differentiation. Let there be no big mountain among the nobles. Aren't these nobles good pawns?

Their fathers are gone. No matter how angry the sons are, they will always be compared to their fathers. After all, the founding generation of the country is a meeting of storms and clouds. A masterpiece who has been tempered with countless lives. It is difficult for future generations to compare. So, some of the old ministers dare to do something. These young people are afraid to do it.

The old ministers will only feel that this world is fought by us. But these young people will feel that the Zhu family is a matter of course. Because, when these young people were born, they grew up under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's completely different from the perspective of the older generations.

The old life is a chaotic perspective. Although the world is peaceful now, once something happens, the clapper will raise troops, or there will be a palace change. There is not much psychological burden. After all, when he was young, this was all commonplace, commonly known as Huohe.

Who hasn't seen it, and who hasn't seen it.

But young people naturally feel that it is difficult for the Zhu family to have this kind of thought, even if it is a last resort, it is definitely not as easy to make decisions as the older generation.

This group of nobles whose fathers died early, although their influence is not as good as before, but there are still three points of nails in the rotten ship. There is still a legacy of my fathers. Lift them out, who will directly affect them? Naturally, it's these old-timers.

After these old brothers, they naturally have to take care of them. But the cake is that big. I still have a lot of people to eat here. And sometimes these young people want more than just restoring the glory of their parents.

Between the two, there will inevitably be contradictions.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about a lot of people in an instant. However, I have to admit it. Among the second generation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are not too many people who have become instruments. But there are still some of them. It is Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, that Zhu Yuanzhang thought of.

Wu Gaonai is the son of Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, Wu Liang's brother, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and north. They were named the Marquis of Jiangyin and the Marquis of Jinghai. It's just that around the twelfth year of Hongwu, they died one after another. Wu Gao guarded filial piety for three years, and then trained troops in various places.

Historically, he was supposed to escort the Mu Huali family to Yunnan, but the mountains and mountains in the southwest made these people uncomfortable, and finally set off a rebellion, although it was finally pacified. But Wu Gao was still devalued, and later recovered, in the Jianwen period, of course, Liaodong was instigated, and Zhu Di clashed. Zhu Di used a counter-plot to kill Wu Gao and capture the soldiers and horses of Liaodong.

Of course, it's not that Zhu Di is inferior to Wu Gao. It's Wu Gao, who is self-aware. When he faced Zhu Di, he was a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter what happened, he just didn't take risks. Make the defenses watertight. And Zhu Di had limited time, so he thought of this method to make Emperor Jianwen suspicious of Wu Gao. Wu Gao was relegated to Guangxi. Wu Gao left. This side of the mountain customs immediately did not guard.

Overall, Wu Gao is far superior to his father. But he can also be regarded as a qualified general. The most important thing is that Wu Gao understands that he has a few catties and a few taels. That's good.

Many people are not without talent, but the bad thing is that they don't know how talented they are. There is a gap between what you see in your own eyes and what you see in the eyes of others. If it's not good, it's a big heel. And Wu Gao is different.

Sending someone else's person over, Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that this person would fight for power with He Xi. But Wu Gao didn't. This kid is too knowledgeable.

The crown prince also immediately remembered the last fate of Wu Gao's history. During the reign of Hongxi, the emperor looked at the directory, found Wu Gao's name, and ordered his family to be exiled to Hainan. didn't know that Wu Gao had already died. In the early years of Yongle, he was reused for Yongle, participated in the first Northern Expedition, and made meritorious contributions, but was slandered and returned home. In the end, he died, and his family was implicated. Probably because Wu Gao was the most ruthless one in attacking Beiping City, and it was Emperor Hongxi who guarded Beiping City at that time. Akihito.

Prince Kuanren is still quite embarrassed about Wu Gao's fate. And Wu Gao's deeds in history also show. If the overall situation of the court does not change, he will definitely be loyal to the court.

The crown prince said: "Father is wise. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You go to see Li Qi, appease me on behalf of me, let the heir of the country, and tell him that the affairs of the older generation have ended, and then everything will look forward." His son is my grandson. I won't be bad. Let him do what he wants. Do a good job as the prince of the Ming Dynasty. And asked, before the founding of the country, more than 1,000 families died in the orphans of generals. Make a list and let me see it. ”

The prince understands that Zhu Yuanzhang's methods are to end the undercurrent of Li Shanchang's death.

Pick a group of loyal young generals. It is very likely that the young and noble generals who will appear in the government and the opposition in the future will find help. Yes, the ability of the younger generation is far greater than that of the older generation, but these old ministers are not facing a young person, but a group.

These nobles can't do it. But the orphans of these generals may not be impossible. Even if they can't. Isn't there still him Zhu Yuanzhang behind this?

And what Zhu Yuanzhang wants is not necessarily who wins and who loses, but that he has no time to think about other things.

The prince hurriedly agreed,

Zhu Yuanzhang began to be busy with other official duties again, and the drought in the north affected his heart. And thousands of miles away, his eldest grandson is also busy with official business.

And I haven't slept well for days. The whole person has lost a lot of weight.
