Chapter 18: The Prince Returns to Beijing

called Mu Ying over, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see Mu Ying's statement, and on the other hand, it was also a hint of precaution.

As for calling King Qin's family to Beijing, it is not only to appease King Qin's family, but also to control the influence so that the situation can be cleaned up.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's position, many times, sadness must be limited. Because there are more things, Zhu Yuanzhang needs to think about and weigh them. Go figure it out.

As for He Xi's matter, it was naturally delayed. Although He Xi wants to go to Liaodong, but the current situation is not the time, the death of King Qin has far-reaching implications, and He Xi has to wait for the dust to settle before deciding what to do next.

——

The prince came quickly, and it was impossible not to be happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree did not even leave a little time for the prince, how dare the prince delay. After coming to Nanjing, he was so dusty that he didn't even take a bath and change clothes. came to the Qianqing Palace and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with Mu Ying.

Zhu Yuanzhang just asked him to retell the death of King Qin.

The prince could only tell the cause and effect one by one.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he said to Mu Ying: "You tell me again." ”

The crown prince could only bow his head gloomily, such a situation had never been seen before. What he reported in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted, even if he didn't believe it in his heart, he would not be so shameless if he asked someone to check it in private.

It's almost plain to say, I don't believe you.

The prince's mind was already heavy, and he was tired of driving and riding along the way, and he was worried, and he lost several pounds. was treated like this by Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, and in his heart, pessimism spread a little.

What can Mu Ying do? I can only say the situation from his point of view. In the end, Mu Ying pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is the minister's fault, the minister is responsible for the safety of King Qin, and if such a thing happens, the minister is willing to apologize with death." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took down his national crown, put it on the ground, and then kowtowed heavily, not daring to raise his head.

The prince was very moved in his heart, and he even wanted to intercede with Mu Ying, but he remembered his situation and secretly said in his heart: "Forget it, I am probably talking more and making more mistakes now, and saying less and making fewer mistakes." Saying it will only help. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince and said secretly in his heart: "The prince's heart-"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head secretly.

Although the pain of losing a child is extraordinary, Zhu Yuanzhang is not an ordinary person. It will take some time for the prince to come back from Beijing. During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang has thought about a lot of things. I dare not say that the sad mood is no longer there, at least I have regained my senses.

After all, on the battlefield, spinning life and death, if you don't have this emotional integration ability, in an instant, I don't know how many people will die. If you can't bear this emotion, Zhu Yuanzhang is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

The death of a son is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang sad for a while.

And at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang put pressure on the prince, in fact, he wanted to see how the prince reacted at this time.

It depends on a person's true colors. Watching people in the face of wealth, watching people in difficulty, watching people in ignorance, watching people in drinking. Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see the prince's performance when he is in trouble.

Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang has almost investigated the death of King Qin. Although he was very reluctant, the death of King Qin could be said to be self-inflicted. The prince and Mu Ying had some mishandling in this matter. But this one thing, it's not their fault.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see the prince's reaction at this time.

But the prince did not react.

seems to have acquiesced to Mu Ying's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that someone would always be responsible for the death of King Qin, no matter what. The prince can't be responsible, so it's okay for Mu Ying to be responsible.

It's just that the prince showed it, and he was too irresponsible.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "Since the hat is not suitable, you can stay, go back and think about it behind closed doors, and you must not make a holy decree or leave the house." ”

Mu Ying saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then he slowly retreated.

As Mu Ying left, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but Xu Zheng slowly retreated with a very good look.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and said, "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

The crown prince was silent for a while, and then said, "The son respectfully obeys the orders of his father. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry when he heard this, and said, "Do you think like this? ”

The prince secretly said in his heart: "What else can I think? In this situation, does what I say work? In other words, the more you say, the more you get wrong. The prince said, "This matter is the fault of the child, and the child is punished by his father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this sentence, he was even more angry.

Stand corrected.

Well, for students, admitting mistakes can be regarded as a correct attitude. For ordinary people, admitting mistakes can be regarded as a responsible attitude. But the problem is that for the emperor, it is not like this. The emperor admits his mistake? To whom to admit? What's the use of admitting it? The edict is a cruel move, and it is not used under normal circumstances. Under normal circumstances, the emperor categorically could not admit his mistake. Because admitting mistakes will only make the situation worse, not better.

The emperor is certainly the loneliest person in the world, but the problem is that the emperor is the loneliest person. Unlimited power and unlimited responsibility.

In other words, no one will wipe the emperor's ass and make a mess by himself, and he will have to dispose of it himself. If you suffer a loss, you have to swallow it yourself. Digest it yourself, clean up the aftermath yourself.

As the crown prince and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the current situation, he only has the attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Does the Ming need such an emperor?

This is not to blame the prince.

It was really Zhu Yuanzhang who protected the prince too well.

The prince seems to be in charge alone, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is behind him, which is an existence that no one can ignore. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, and the identity of the prince alone could make the world dare not disobey.

The crown prince had never fallen into such embarrassment, so desperate, so overwhelmed. Don't know what to do with the situation?

He made a choice instinctively, even when he made it subconsciously.

That is to hand over this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because in the prince's heart, there has never been something that Zhu Yuanzhang can't do.

The prince even has some egoistic avoidance mentality.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You go to see your mother, I haven't told her about this matter yet, you can do this thing yourself." Then go and pick up King Qin's family to come to Beijing, and the future affairs of King Qin will be handed over to you. Until this matter is properly handled, the affairs of the DPRK and China will be left alone. ”

The prince was slightly stunned, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little sad, not only because of the death of a son, but also because he was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the prince. However, he did not give up the prince, and still gave the prince a chance, first took power, let the prince reflect on it, and let the prince deal with the mess he provoked.

So that he can't run away from these.

I hope the prince can figure out these things.

No, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like to mention it and tell him. It's that these things are useless, and if they are not memorably understood, they will not be taken seriously. It's like studying hard, making progress every day, listening carefully, and so on. As long as they follow these examples, most students will not have a bad academic performance.

But what does it actually look like?

The truth is very simple, very little has been done, and the truth of living in the world is also very simple. Only by figuring it out for yourself can you really remember what to do.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

The crown prince left the Qianqing Palace.

The prince is also mentally prepared for this result. To be honest, the prince also has a little self-doubt in his heart at the moment.

Do you doubt that you are really qualified to be the Ming Emperor?

During King Qin's lifetime, it didn't matter how much the prince had grudges against King Qin after King Qin's death. On the contrary, when King Qin was a child, all kinds of things that followed the prince often appeared in the prince's heart. The crown prince is essentially a good man.

If he hadn't been a good man, maybe this incident would have passed quickly.

But this one thing, in the prince's heart, is not easy to pass. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. The crown prince even felt that his father's punishment was heavier, and he felt a little better in his heart.
