Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Try of King Yan

Zhu Yuanzhang asked King Yan with this matter, but in fact, he didn't care too much about what King Yan said himself. What he cares about is the pattern of King Yan himself and the starting point of looking at the problem.

King Yan was confident, and handed over some of his thorns on the battlefield, said briefly, and said: "Now that the Tartar royal court has fallen, there is no tribe in Mobei that can lead the thorns, and the retainers think that in a few years, the tiles will be the lord of Mobei." In the opinion of the ministers, the best way is to now let the first general command the troops of Liaodong out of the east, and let the first general command the troops of the northwest out of the west. ”

"It's just that Erchen also knows that recently, the money and grain of the imperial court are in Beijing, and the army can't go out of Mobei. It was between the sons and the ministers to negotiate with the tile thorn, delayed for several years, and after a few years, the son should destroy the tile thorn for the court. Never forget the trouble of the desert north. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, was a little disappointed, and said, "Is it just that? ”

King Yan said, "What does Father mean? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts about King Yan are like a mirror, and King Yan's heart for Mobei is also naked and undisguised.

King Yan would rather be a herdsman on the bank of the Nenhe River, not always want to be a herdsman here, King Yan is to be the lord of Mobei, and he may not even think about going west in the future, occupying the Western Regions, and becoming the hero of one side.

This plan is the reason why King Yan has always avoided the conflict between the Jingshi.

On the one hand, King Yan did not feel that he could replace the crown prince to become the prince, and on the other hand, the temptation of building a big empire by himself was no worse than being an emperor. Not to mention the risks of both.

Participating in the seizure of the heir, it is very likely that there will be no place to be buried. Or King Yan didn't have this idea before, but King Qin had already used his life to tell the other princes how cruel it was to take the heir. But if it is sealed externally, at least the prince is supported, even if it is defeated in the future, as long as it is not too miserable, he can maintain his current territory and become a vassal king. After all, the strategic location of Yan is very important. As long as Yan exists, Changchun has been outside the northeast region, and it is safe, and many places in Monan will not worry about soldiers.

Once Yan Guo is gone, the military expenditure that Daming needs to increase is much more than supporting Yan Wang.

Even if he is really unfortunate and defeated, he can still go back to Nanjing to be an idle prince.

This risk is much smaller than that of taking the heir.

Not to mention, after King Yan's big victory, he was full of confidence from top to bottom, and he didn't think he would fall into this fate. It's just thinking for the worst.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little uncomfortable with the idea that King Yan would start from himself and from Yan Kingdom. But he also understands that King Yan has put his mentality right. This made Zhu Yuanzhang not know whether to say good or bad.

Say. Brotherly harmony, brotherhood and brotherhood, the battle he expected was fratricidal, and it is very likely that it will not happen. It's not good to say, King Yan himself doesn't have this idea, he doesn't have this will, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't force the cow to drink water.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you see your eldest brother? ”

Yan Wang said: "Not yet. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your eldest brother has been in poor health recently, you can go over and take a look." Don't rush back to the grassland, stay a few more days. By the way, this letter will be given to your eldest brother by the way. ”

King Yan said, "Yes." He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, so he just took it with both hands. Immediately went to the East Palace.

------

In the East Palace, in the prince's bedroom, the prince walked slowly with the support of the eunuch.

The prince's body is sometimes good and sometimes bad. After hearing the news that King Yan had captured Emperor Tianyuan, the crown prince seemed to be injected with a stimulant in his body, and he suddenly became stronger. Be willing to do some exercise so that your body can heal faster.

I heard that the following people came to report that King Yan was coming. The prince's body froze, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy. Then he slowly walked to the main seat of the main hall and said, "Please." ”

After a while, King Yan arrived, and it was needless to say that he saw the prince saluting.

It's just that King Yan looked at the crown prince, and it seemed to be more solemn and less cordial between the brothers before.

King Yan didn't think much about it, he felt in his heart that it was probably the death of King Qin that made the prince have some estrangement between his brothers. Especially the words of the prince of Qin, it hurt the prince too much.

However, King Yan grew up with King Qin, although he knew that King Qin had such and such an unsuccessful appearance, but when he thought of King Qin's death, King Yan felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and his other feelings were much lighter.

King Yan said, "Big brother is good."

The prince said: "It was not good, but when I saw the fourth brother coming, Gu was much better." ”

Seeing King Yan's slightly rusty appearance, the prince sighed in his heart, and trusted his judgment more and more. That is, the father is ready to save it.

Yes, the Yongle Emperor is the prince's inner demon.

As soon as the prince saw King Yan, he remembered some words in the history books. I only felt that it was extremely dazzling, which made it difficult for him to accept, and he was very sensitive when facing all kinds of news from King Yan.

Especially now, King Yan has also won the battle of blue jade, which makes the prince think about Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions. Yes, the crown prince supported King Yan to go north. Even King Yan sealed Mobei, which was vigorously promoted by the prince. In order to resolve the problems between brothers.

But this time and that time too.

At that time, the crown prince was very confident, confident in his position, confident in his own ability, confident that even if King Yan had many victories in the north, it was impossible to shake his position, but only after this period of time, many things have changed.

So that the crown prince had to face a lot of problems.

The crown prince has become unconfident about everything before, and now the prince is facing King Yan, not the prince facing his younger brother, but facing a competitor. After all, King Yan played such a record, no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang paved the way for King Yan, no matter what kind of weakness the remnant yuan had become.

As long as King Yan can win this thing, it is his ability.

Not to mention, after King Yan's victory, there were many changes, and the prince also knew about it. King Yan has the appearance of the head of all kings.

This is not for the prince to think otherwise.

What did King Yan want to say? Just a few words of greeting, I found that there was nothing to say. On the one hand, the crown prince was holding the shelf, so that King Yan didn't know what to say? From the perspective of brotherhood, King Yan actually has a lot to say to the prince, discuss the affairs between brothers, discuss the affairs of King Qin, and so on. But the crown prince is like this, it is a dialogue between the prince and the vassal king. This really makes King Yan have nothing to say.

On the other hand, there is a lot of estrangement between the two sides, the prince has his own things that are difficult to let go, and King Yan also has his own thoughts of not wanting to bow his head and flattery.

It's a bit cold.

King Yan quickly adjusted, and after ending the no greetings, he handed a note to the crown prince and said, "This is what my father asked me to bring to my brother." ”

The prince coughed twice, took the song, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Has the fourth brother seen it?" ”

King Yan said: "No, this is what my father asked my brother to see, how dare my younger brother look at it." ”

The prince smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, you can take a look, it's okay." ”

Immediately, the prince ordered the little eunuch to hand the song to King Yan.

King Yan opened it and took a look, but it was nine things in the history of Nanfeng County, Jiangxi. It writes several major things that must be resolved, among which there are several things, such as normal customs, provincial affairs, civil complaints, quiet affairs, and so on.

It all seems to be true. But in fact, King Yan could see it at a glance.

This is a new law.

Because in many places, the new law is contrary to local customs. Even if the new law itself has not been implemented, some legal changes alone have already added an unknown amount of work to the local government.

For example, after the Qingzhang, the registration of households, and the people leaving their hometowns to open the way, were not allowed before. Now it's about opening the way, this part of the work. The most important thing is actually the separation.

Before, in the family, it was the elders' word hall. Because the elders have absolute economic power. The economic base determines the superstructure. When all economic rights belong to the elders. It's impossible for the juniors to resist. If you want to sweep the floor out of the house, you can sweep the floor out of the house.

But that's no longer the case. The government supports the financial rights of individuals. That is, the family property, not all of which are owned by the parents, and adult men also have a share. This raises a number of questions.
