Chapter 167: The Strong Build Momentum
When He Xi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty really trusts me."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I don't trust you, but, I know, what you want is power, not the throne, the world is the lord and the king, originally, since ancient times, the emperor has not been able to do happy things, and in the future, the emperor may not even be able to do unhappy things." What do you want him to do?"
He Xi had nothing to say for a while.
The person who knows He Xi in the world is Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's not that He Xi has no desire for power, but He Xi understands very well that in an industrialized society, even if it is still an imperial country, the emperor's power will be greatly limited, even if the emperor directly controls a lot of capital.
And since ancient times, the power of the emperor has been limited in the orthodox Central Plains Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang knows this best. This is also why Zhu Yuanzhang wants to abolish the prime minister, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to obtain supreme power.
Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang did the same.
But now the communication between Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi, and referring to the history of later generations, deeply understands one thing. That is, the emperor has supreme power. Not necessarily a good thing.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang hates Confucianism very much, there are still some agreeers on this.
Not to mention, there is another counterexample in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the Qing Dynasty.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is reluctant to admit it, in fact, it is not the Ming Dynasty that really inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's mantle. Rather, it was the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang formulated policies, and there were not many inheritances after Yongle, so it can be said that after Zhengde, it was a completely different Ming Dynasty designed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was put on the altar and placed in the throne, and he worshiped when he had something, but what really ran was another set of rules.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Zhu Yuanzhang was highly respected. It completely inherited the Ming system and inherited some of Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas for extension. The Qing Chengming system is right. However, the Qing Dynasty also rejected many trends and ideas in the late Ming Dynasty.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance in the Qing court was as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been expelling the Tartars all his life, and even if Daming lets Li Zicheng replace him, although Zhu Yuanzhang is a little uncomfortable, he is also acceptable. But let the Qing court extinguish. That feeling, as if what he had done all his life, had been denied.
Not to mention, the performance at the end of the Qing Dynasty made Zhu Yuanzhang look down on 10,000.
This also made Zhu Yuanzhang determine that there must be a progressive line, an industrial revolution, and modernization. even said that this obsession is still above He Xi.
The crown prince is gone, and the queen is gone. Even to death, he did not forgive Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ordinary people may be slumped when they encounter such a blow. But what kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?
A person who climbs from a desperate situation to the highest position may be flawed in other aspects, but the determination of his heart is unimaginable to many people. Zhu Yuanzhang has always been more and more courageous. The more setbacks and blows they encounter, the more frustrated ordinary people are, doubting themselves. And Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was to fight back with a more resolute attitude.
This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's habit all along, because Zhu Yuanzhang has never retreated. Even if you lose once, it is possible that there is no place to die, and the habits and thinking inertia that people develop when they are young will be preserved for a lifetime.
Zhu Yuanzhang has never felt this way over the years, so he can be regarded as a little peaceful. In history, Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree after his son's death, which may not be this kind of stress reaction.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang can only promote the matter of changing the law with a more resolute attitude.
He Xi said: "Your Majesty, the minister also promised you that if you know the grace of today, no matter what the situation is in the future, the Ming Emperor will be surnamed Zhu."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Go back and think about it." Think about what to do? I won't give you much support, by the way, you go and meet Xiongying. Show Xiongying the books you brought."
He Xi said, "Yes."
After He Xi left. Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to He Xi sincerely, as if he really entrusted the big tomorrow to He Xi. But Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, and he will not pin his hopes on one person. He was silent for a while, and asked people to call Zhu Yunwen over.
After Zhu Yunwen saluted, he sat in He Xi's position just now. said, "Grandpa Huang, you are looking for me."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "And today there are many disturbances. Everyone has ideas for this chair, don't you have it too?"
Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to react for a while. Secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Don't dare to deceive the emperor's grandfather, my grandson wants to give it a try."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's my grandson, who should have such a heart. But do you know the conflict between me and your father?"
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said, "I know."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Fang Xiaoru and others, the father and son of the Heavenly Family, without them, your father may not have died, and now, they support you, where is their intention, you also have to think about it." Changing the law is a national policy set by us, and it is a policy to enrich the country and strengthen the army. It is beneficial to Daming, and it is harmful to this fang. How can I rest assured that you are with them?"
Zhu Yunwen reacted quickly and said, "Grandpa Huang's meaning, grandson understands. It's just that they are the people left behind by their father, and they are involved in national affairs, so their grandson has dealings with them, and they will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen, snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly, "This kid really can't be a weapon."
Zhu Yunwen is worse than King Yan, King Zhou, and King Chu. It's even worse than Zhu Xiongying. At least King Yan has his own political opinions, and Zhu Yunwen only has power in his eyes, you must know that without the support of Fang Xiaoru and others, Zhu Yunwen has no qualifications to compete for the storage position. To know. Zhu Xiongying is the son-in-law.
But when Zhu Yunwen faced Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not hesitate to sell these people.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that there are not many people who dare to say "no" in front of him. However, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, there are not many people who find ways to fool the past. Even if you are fooled, you shouldn't be fooled like that.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen didn't know that in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any good way to deal with these people.
Killing people is the easiest.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, why is it difficult to punish the ten clans of filial piety?
But killing Fang Xiaoru didn't solve the problem.
Even deepening the problem, he can kill Fang Xiaoru and the Ten Clans now, and he will not be there in the future, when these people fight back, He Xi can't even keep the blood heir, even if He Xi is a concubine.
Moreover, killing Fang Xiaoru will only suppress the matter, but to stop the boiling, what Zhu Yuanzhang has to do is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle.
Zhu Yunwen is incompetent, it doesn't matter, anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang has no Zhu Yunwen to succeed him. What will happen to Zhu Yunwen in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care. For the sake of big things, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to kill his own nephew, compared to him, Zhu Yuanzhang has no feelings for Zhu Yunwen at all.
In history, there was a love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen. Now because of He Xi's arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Yunwen was not a weapon at the beginning, and looked at Zhu Yunwen with colored eyes. How can Zhu Yuanzhang like Zhu Yunwen?
Now, since Zhu Yuanzhang wants to solve all problems by force, he must give the group of people led by Fang Xiaoru a loyal target and let them gather. In the future, it will be all in one go.
Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement for He Xi's side is naturally He Xi's assistance to Zhu Xiongying, so for Zhu Yunwen's side, it is naturally Zhu Yunwen's old partner plus Fang Xiaoru.
The battle between the old and the new law has evolved into a battle for the throne.
At the same time intensifying the contradictions. It can be regarded as a great favor to He Xi. Without him, as far as the matter of changing the law is concerned, many people on He Xi's boat will jump ship, but if it evolves into a battle for succession. On the contrary, no one dared to mess around.
Without him, the cruelty of the battle for the heir will even prevail over the battle for changing the law and the battle for interests. That's the real success and defeat.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like Zhu Yunwen, but he also felt that he had to give his grandson a way to live. This way of life is nothing else, it is to change the law.
War is fair. Never taking sides. No one can cheat. And Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear
Chu, how hard the industrial countries suppress the agricultural countries. Even if He Xi established a very rudimentary industrial system, it is the same.
