Chapter 133: The Death of the Prince
Chapter 133: The Death of the Prince
After entering the winter, the prince's condition became worse and worse, with more time in a coma and less time in wake.
Suddenly, one day, the prince suddenly came to his senses. The mental head is good. Ask the people around you, "What time is it?" ”
The person next to him said: "It's the fifteenth day of the first month." ”
The prince was stunned for a moment and said, "The fifteenth day of the first month? It's the New Year. ”
The person next to him said, "Exactly." Today is the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu. ”
The crown prince muttered, "Twenty-five years of Hongwu. The prince suddenly remembered that in history, he died in Hongwu for twenty-five years. He looked up at the bright yellow curtain above his head. The mouth said: "Providence, providence." ”
There was something in the dark that disappeared from the prince's eyes.
From then on, the prince never came to his senses until he died.
People always want to give the best things to their sons, Zhu Yuanzhang has blood on his hands, and he has done too many things that go against his heart. Ask yourself, Zhu Yuanzhang himself is not a good person. Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to train his son to be a good person.
Therefore, the prince's teacher is the most famous Confucian of this era, and he is also a moral gentleman, and his character cannot be faulted.
Under their training, the prince is first and foremost a good man.
And then there was a benevolent gentleman.
If you say, there is no such thing. Zhu Biao can have enough life to take over Zhu Yuanzhang's class, with one generation of entrepreneurship and the second generation of business planning, Zhu Biao does not lose Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. And the toss of Ming Chengzu in history is not what a king of business should do. But the arrival of He Xi complicated the situation. Originally, the problem that Zhu Biao had to face was just the stable inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the second-generation problem of the Great Unification Empire. But He Xi brought many new problems that had never been seen before. A new situation.
Originally, the inside of Daming was very torn.
Before the Ming Dynasty, the north fell to barbarians for hundreds of years. Even the cultural identity of many northerners is out of order. They didn't think there was anything wrong with being Han Chinese and being loyal to the barbarians. This cultural rift is compounded by economic fragmentation. Contradictions of internal thoughts.
Such a complicated situation has reached the point where it can no longer be handled without thunderous means.
Now it is suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang's powerful prestige.
And the longer Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed, the more powerful it broke out after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
Such a situation is not something that the prince can handle.
The crown prince is a good person, but he may not be a good emperor. Because the good emperor himself is contradictory to a moral gentleman.
Historically, it is not clear what kind of emergency the crown prince died of. But the current crown prince is an internal and external plus, and he forced himself to death.
------
"What prince died? His Majesty summoned the princes of the kingdom to Beijing. He Xi was taken aback. For this matter, if He Xi is completely unprepared, it is false. After all, the prince is not in good health, and it has been two or three years. Princess Anqing also told He Xi in private.
But He Xi was still very shocked.
Because, with the death of the crown prince, He Xi's judgment of the future is completely different.
Even He Xi even lost his judgment on the future.
Where is the Ming going?
Who is the future heir of the Ming Dynasty?
How does the change proceed?
How will Zhu Yuanzhang choose? Has Zhu Yuanzhang's mind changed?
Countless things turned in He Xi's mind.
He Xi took a deep breath and began to analyze the situation.
As soon as the prince goes, Zhu Yuanzhang's possible choice is to pass on his grandson and son.
If you pass on your grandson, you will be a hero, and if you pass on your son, you will be Zhu Di.
In He Xi's thoughts, there should be another choice.
If Zhu Yingying is passed on, it will be a great benefit to He Xi. And if it is passed on to Zhu Di, it may not be a good thing for He Xi.
He Xi and Zhu Yingying's relationship with master and apprentice is quite good. And Zhu Di's words are in trouble.
Zhu Di's political tendencies, He Xi did not observe much, but there is one thing that He Xi must understand. Yan Wang Zhu Di actually has his own team, his own civil and military ministers, internal and external ministers, Yan Wang's team, although the sparrow is small, all the organs. The civil officials are a little weaker, and the military generals are also quite good.
Although it is said that compared with the founding honors, it is naturally much inferior. But the problem is that as a vassal king, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can have so many generals under his command, which is already commendable.
If Zhu Di ascends the throne, can He Xi gain a firm foothold in the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty?
He Xi wasn't much sure.
Although it is said that there is a lot of cooperation between He Xi and Yan Wang, the relationship between them is also good. But the relationship between the cooperative relationship and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is not the same. Zhu Di is not as easy to change his mind as Zhu Xiongying.
It can even be said that Zhu Di's three views of thought have long been fixed.
It is also difficult to change He Xi.
Get along with Zhu Di in the future, can He Xi really become Zhu Di's cronies?
He Xi didn't know.
Therefore, He Xi has already determined in his heart that he will go to Beijing and will use all means to promote Zhu Xiongying to the position of prince. And He Xi didn't feel that he didn't have a chance, because He Xi obviously felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was uncertain.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have ordered the kings to return to Beijing.
This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is hesitating between his son and grandson.
He Xi still has a chance.

Taiyuan City.
When King Jin knew the news of the death of the crown prince, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The destiny of heaven is mine." Destiny is mine. ”
The entourage around King Jin also said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
The reason why King Jin is like this is that he is the eldest prince under the crown prince. Because of this, King Jin felt that the throne belonged to him. What? You said that the emperor and grandson were passed on, and the king of Jin never thought about it, who didn't know that the world was initially decided, and the country relied on the monarch.
At this time, how can you let the little doll get on?
Although the ability of King Jin is not as good as that of the crown prince and the king of Yan, he still has the most basic political sensitivity. He also has his own judgment on the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't think that in such a situation, Zhu Yuanzhang would let the children come.
It's just that King Jin listened to the compliments of the people around him, his face suddenly turned cold, he took out his long sword, stabbed the entourage next to him with a sword, and said: "You dare to separate the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, the prince is the brother of the lonely." Now that the prince has passed away, he is lonely. ”
He drew his sword, and blood splattered out. sprayed King Jin in the face.
King Jin put down his long sword, the expression on his face was very strange, and he tried to make a very sympathetic expression, but he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and wanted to laugh, this kind of crying and laughing, and the appearance of blood stained on his body, how strange and strange it was.
He's not upset.
It's that he has turned into a state of seizing the heir.
No matter how happy he is, he is pretending to be a good brother and a good son, and even if he is ready to kill everyone present, he will never suffer in the future. You can't let them see what they look like they're out of shape.
He wants to devote himself to the succession.

When King Yan learned that the crown prince had died and he needed to return to Beijing.
As soon as the hand was released, the obituary fell on the snow.
In the Yan Kingdom on the Songnen Plain, it is already covered with heavy snow and ice. But at this moment, there is already a prototype of a city.
During this period of time, King Yan rarely paid attention to the domestic news, and devoted himself to farming on the Songnen Plain, and Lian Zining had been preparing for many years, and at this moment he was able to stretch his hand. The Mongolian people were subordinated to the army, and each thousand households were not only military units, but also administrative units, and even more production units.
There are probably thousands of people per 1,000 households. When King Yan ordered troops, he needed to provide 1,000 soldiers and horses. At the same time, it is also necessary to provide taxes for the king of Yan.
The reason why this can be done is also the agricultural reform promoted by Lian Zining, as well as the fertile land of the Songnen Plain, where every thousand households also cultivate and pasture, planting crops such as oats, corn, and wheat, as well as alfalfa. It is used to accumulate pasture. Coupled with the promotion of green storage technology. Although it was only one year, the momentum of King Yan was no less than when the Mongolian Khan was there.
After all, King Yan had the support of the Ming court. There is a steady stream of cheap materials, all the cattle and sheep of Yanwang, and there is also a big market in Daming. The conditions are much better than those of the Yuan Court.
Some people died, but not completely......
