Chapter 88: King Yan and the Crown Prince

He Xi heard King Yan say this, and suddenly felt a little confused?

What did He Xi promise?

didn't promise anything, but when he got to King Yan, how did it become that as long as King Yan got over there in Nanjing, he would definitely do it here.

Please, many practical problems cannot be solved by He Xi subjectively wanting to solve them.

It's not that King Yan doesn't know, it's just that what he wants to do at the moment is to force He Xi. King Yan actually knew that it was not too difficult to get Zhu Yuanzhang's promise in Nanjing. But Zhu Yuanzhang's order must also be executed.

Who is this executor? Needless to say.

Naturally, it was He Xi.

Therefore, He Xi's commitment is especially important.

What does He Xi want to say? was interrupted by King Yan and said, "Brother He, the well-being of my future children and grandchildren depends on you, my uncle, do you have to help with this matter?" ”

He Xi sighed, he understood King Yan's intentions, but He Xi was different from King Yan and others. After all, this is King Yan, this is the Emperor Yongle, the longer He Xi is in Daming, the more things will change, and He Xi will not be able to see clearly in the future.

It doesn't matter, though.

Importantly, for some people, even if the situation changes, it can't change his light?

Yan Wang is such a person?

Zhu Yuanzhang tiger poison does not eat children, he can only have no idea of killing King Yan, as a general in the royal family, he must have his own position in the future, even if he is not the emperor, he is also very important.

He Xi didn't want to offend King Yan either. When King Yan talked about this, He Xi could only say: "I can only say that as much as possible, what you want will rank second after the Beijing City Project, as long as the Beijing City Project is not delayed, the others will be provided to you first, however, this requires His Majesty's order." ”

King Yan said: "Don't worry, this matter is handed over to me." ”

------

King Yan does things vigorously and resolutely.

He Xi got the promise here, and the next day he rode south, and came to Nanjing non-stop, with a daily journey of more than 150 miles. The guards who followed King Yan were tired enough. Only King Yan himself is still in good spirits, and he doesn't see any tiredness.

This may be a quality that has been possessed by people who have been able to achieve great things since ancient times.

has energy beyond ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get up early in the morning, but even if no one supervises, they can complete the workload that is almost masochistic in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, and Zhu Di is the same.

When King Yan returned to Beijing, he naturally had a grand welcome ceremony.

When King Yan returned to Beijing, after bathing and changing clothes, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned King Yan.

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully inquired about the details of King Yan's conquest, and after listening to it, he sighed a little.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has not led troops for many years, no one dares to ignore Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to lead troops to fight.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts when he looked at King Yan were very complicated.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang raised the army, his relatives have withered, but even so, Zhu Yuanzhang has also used his relatives very hard, Zhu Wenzheng, the king of Nanchang, and Li Wenzhong, are all generals valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, and these two are certainly capable, but if they are not Zhu Yuanzhang's relatives, it is difficult to have a position at that time.

Among his sons, among the generals of the clan, there is another great general, Zhu Yuanzhang should be happy.

But when I think of Jing Nan, I think of the prince. Thinking of the Zhu royal family, which had already been internally divided and would inevitably be internally divided, Zhu Yuanzhang could only sigh leisurely. A sentence came to my heart, "It is inevitable that a big husband will not have a good wife and a bad son." "He does have a good wife, but this son is a little different from him.

In this way, how to place King Yan is a difficult problem in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

killed, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally won't. The previous King Yan was not as good as the Yongle Emperor in history in terms of ability. But now in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, King Yan has seventy percent of the historical ability, which seems to be good. But Zhu Yuanzhang never looked down on the methods of the historical Yan King.

couldn't deal with the problem of the centrifugal gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and actually wanted to move the capital. This is the evasion of the problem, which opened the problem of the separation of the political center and the economic center of the Ming Dynasty, and has far-reaching implications. It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang opposes moving the capital, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang also thinks that Nanjing is not very good. But moving the capital is never a simple matter of moving the capital, and you have to wipe your ass clean when you move the capital.

What makes Zhu Yuanzhang even more disdainful is the historical merits of King Yan, that is, he swept the north five times. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is not what the emperor should do, but what he should do in the future. What? You say, there are no suitable generals below? How can there be no great generals in the world, but you, the emperor, have not found it, and this is a big problem.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang was a little hesitant at this moment.

Yan Wang is not good, but it is a little good. has the heart of an emperor, and hands over the Ming Dynasty to King Yan, don't worry, the country is unstable. The crown prince is different.

The prince was not only soft-hearted, but also too cautious and blamed.

If the future storm is unexpected, and the prince has no choice, the prince will definitely find a way to compromise at that time. But what will happen to King Yan? He will flip the table and wait for his own choice, whether he wants to punish the Ten Clans or the Nine Clans? This is an optional package. If you don't want to choose, King Yan will let them choose. If you don't kill someone's head, it won't end.

But this is not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

The prince compromised, and it was impossible for He Xi to continue the path of changing the law. Even if the prince does not compromise, he may not be able to go on. Zhu Yuanzhang understands too well what the nobles are thinking? In fact, the nobles seem to be strong, but they are actually extremely weak. Because the nobles don't have their own thoughts at all, they go with the flow, and they don't even have to wait for the future, and now many noble families are very concerned about their own education.

That's right. After all, China has always been concerned about children's education since ancient times. It's just that what they hired to teach their children was not martial arts, but the Four Books and Five Classics, among which Li Wenzhong was the most. Li Jinglong can't fight, but his reputation in the literary world is not small.

Li Wenzhong is not a special case.

In other words, the confluence of Xungui and Shi Dafu was faster than Zhu Yuanzhang expected. The nobles are now on He Xi's side, but they are actually not reliable.

After all, many things in He Xi have also damaged the interests of Xungui.

And King Yan lacks the ability to govern a big country like cooking small fresh. Not to mention anything else, you can see from watching him kill Fang Xiaoru, Yao Guangxiao told him to kill anyone, you can't kill Fang Xiaoru, the seed of a scholar in the world. As a result, Fang Xiaoru still died.

The death of Fang Xiaoru buried a deep thorn between the scholar and the Ming royal family, and this thorn made the later Ming Emperor prefer to use eunuchs rather than scholars. And the scholars were proud to oppose the Ming royal family.

Many problems in the Ming Dynasty can actually be summed up in the Yongle era.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that Zhu Di can't be blamed for many things, and he Zhu Yuanzhang also left a lot of problems. However, the matter of changing the law is a very complicated matter, and Zhu Di may not have the ability to deal with such a thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang still wants to test Zhu Di to see how much Zhu Di has grown and whether he can be entrusted with the big responsibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Before you came, did you see He Xi? ”

King Yan said: "Erchen has seen He Xi. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What did you say? ”

King Yan told Zhu Yuanzhang everything he said to He Xi. Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and said, "You are ready, tell me your plan." ”

King Yan said, "Yes." The minister has been in Changchun for a long time, and he knows that with the manpower and material resources of Liaodong now, it is already commendable to support the Changchun capital. As for the further Nen River basin, it is simply not possible. The minister thought that the Nenhe River valley was in line with the standards of the Ming vassal king. Now there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian people, and their sons are willing to take up the domain, lead the people, open up the wasteland along the Nen River, graze their herds, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment within three years. For the Ming Dynasty to guard the border, the tile spur eastward, Yan State bears the brunt, and he will not be able to go south to Monan, Changchun. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Speaking of the tile spur, the tile spur envoy has already passed, and the Hetao has entered Shanxi, and it will be about a month later, and it will be Nanjing." What are your thoughts on the Tile Spur? ”
