Chapter 112: Li Jinglong's Situation

In the palace, there is nothing to hide from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if the prince and Fang Xiaoru had a secret conversation and retreated, it would be difficult to hide the conversation between the prince and Fang Xiaoru from Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he can't get a glimpse of the whole picture, Zhu Yuanzhang can still guess the general content.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart and said secretly: "My son, you can see the true face of these people clearly now, right?" The face is loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and his bones are all business. I have the heart to educate the world, but I can't educate myself. ”

However, for the future of the Ming royal family, Zhu Yuanzhang has long thought about it.

If the offspring are useful? And now he left a legacy that is enough for the Ming royal family to last for hundreds of years.

If the descendants are useless, even if the whole world is with them, what good will happen to them? On the contrary, the husband is innocent and guilty.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to talk to the prince and wake up the prince. But however, this antagonistic mood between father and son has been formed. Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the prince couldn't hear them. Some things seem simple, but you still have to understand them yourself.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the changes in Beijing.

The changes in Beijing shocked people all over the world, even in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, it seemed to be magic.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang also saw all kinds of drawbacks, all kinds of chaos, it looked messy, and all kinds of things happened. But the question is, in the Ming Dynasty, was there really no such thing? No, outside the county seat, there are all kinds of problems, lynching and killing people in the clan, eating out of households, etc., and so on.

More importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the expansion of the power of the Ming court, to be precise, the expansion of central power.

Zhu Yuanzhang has very strict restrictions on local officials, such as not allowing officials to go to the countryside, and because officials go to the countryside, most of the time they scrape the ground. Regardless of whether there is something or not, the township only bears the reception costs, which is an unbearable price, and the value of a meal can make the people sell their children and daughters.

But if Zhu Yuanzhang has no desire for power, it would be a big mistake, the central power, Zhu Yuanzhang has no intention of sharing with others.

It's just that the political system of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition and personal energy, limited his desire for power. The reason for restricting local power is that Zhu Yuanzhang understands very well that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be tainted with local power no matter what.

Now, however, he saw a different picture.

Under He Xi's system, the center has power far superior to the previous cabinet six-ministry system, and Zhu Yuanzhang longs for this power.

"It's just ------" Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, looked at his white hair, and the skin on his body that began to sag, and said secretly in his heart: "The years urge people to get old." "If he was a teenager younger, he wouldn't have let go of the undercurrent in Nanjing so easily.

He knew that as he got older, the more his energy declined, and the more power he held in his hands. Large-scale purge, large-scale repression, Zhu Yuanzhang is only ready to do it once.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered a sentence he saw from He Xi: "I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse------"

He indulged these people, and he also had an idea, that is, he wanted the prince to really understand the hypocrisy of Confucianism and really understand how to be an emperor. Thus changing course. Back in the arms of his father.

also returned to the right track of Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

------

Li Jinglong didn't know about the matter between the Supreme Father and Son.

At this moment, Li Jinglong was rushing to Beijing by sea.

There is also a reason why Li Jinglong is like this.

Since his father went, Li Jinglong had just started to do something, but after a long time, he became an idle post in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Without him, now in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there are Xu Da, Duke of Wei, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, Duke of Yingguo, who has just returned from the front line.

Now, it is naturally impossible for Li Jinglong to compete for the real power of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Of course.

Li Jinglong also has a backer, and this backer is none other than the prince.

He is younger than the prince and a generation younger than the prince, but he grew up with the prince since he was a child, and in the main hall where the prince studied, there were not only the prince, but also other noble children, Li Jinglong also studied in the main hall when he was a child.

And Li Wenzhong's identity, although he is noble, has a bit of a feeling of being a relative. Therefore, in terms of identity positioning, it can make the royal family believe more.

Why is that? In the Jianwen period, the famous generals withered, and among the second generation, there was no one else, but Emperor Jianwen chose Li Jinglong to take the lead.

It's just, he doesn't know why? In the past few years, he has clearly felt that His Majesty and the crown prince have become estranged from him.

Li Jinglong was puzzled and didn't understand what he had done wrong. In the end, I can only feel that I offended He Horse in the matter of opening the sea back then? What did He Juma say to the emperor?

He never thought that his great achievements during the Jingnan period would be seen by the emperor and the crown prince, of course, they would not punish Li Jinglong for what did not happen. But he also denied Li Jinglong's political and military talents in his heart.

For Li Wenzhong's sake, just give Li Jinglong a lifetime of glory and wealth.

As for more, forget it.

Li Jinglong naturally didn't understand these things, he wanted to get ahead in Nanjing, without the direct support of the royal family, in front of these elders, he could only boil up his qualifications.

But Li Jinglong was unwilling.

As I said before, the second generation, compared to their fathers and ancestors, it is difficult to say that they are not waste, but compared to the nobles who will be raised in later generations, one by one is quite capable, after all, not to mention the aftermath of their fathers and ancestors, no matter how they are taught by their father's words and deeds, they will be far away from ordinary people after learning two or three points.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's team, in history, can be regarded as one of the golden teams. There are not a few scrap materials.

Li Jinglong thought about it, and he felt that if he wanted to come out, someone must support him. This person is chosen to be chosen, and it is time to go.

Why?

First of all, between the crown prince and the emperor, Li Jinglong is aware of the delicate problems. After all, Li Jinglong is related to the royal family, and ordinary people cannot understand the subtle changes, Li Jinglong understands, coupled with the estrangement of the prince, the prince is already a civil official-dominated team, Li Jinglong feels that there is no chance of taking refuge in the past.

In particular, the crown prince strengthened his influence in the army, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and the two dukes, as for the generals below the national duke, there are a lot of princes. No matter how highly Li Jinglong thinks of himself, he doesn't think that he can compare with Lan Yu Muying.

Secondly, Li Jinglong feels that his identity is similar to He Xi.

Yes, Li Jinglong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, and He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law, which seems to be different, but in ancient times, they could be counted as relatives.

Although he didn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang would abolish the crown prince, Li Jinglong felt that no matter who became the prince and who was the next emperor, his status with He Xi would not change much. Princess Anqing is the concubine of Emperor Ma, and she has a good relationship with her brothers, especially some older princes who have the opportunity to ascend the throne. And Li Jinglong is Zhu Di's hair, and his relationship with King Jin, King Qi and other princes is also quite good.

It is not a question who will ascend the throne in the future and maintain his position. As for coming up with it, that's another matter.

So Li Jinglong wanted to warm up with He Xi.

In the end, Li Jinglong felt that he was depressed because he had offended He Xi before, and he had to tie the bell to solve the bell. As long as He Xi's grievances are resolved, he will have a future.

What's more, Li Jinglong doesn't feel that the relationship between himself and He Xi cannot be resolved, after all, he Li Jinglong has also been He Xi's disciple, and He Xi is in the imperial court, and he does not have a reputation for retribution, it is nothing more than a lower attitude and a better attitude of admitting mistakes. After all, it can be seen that Li Jinglong jumped left and right in the Jingjing tribulation, and when he arrived in the Yongle Dynasty, he could still be in a high position.
