Chapter 170: The Kings Leave Beijing
Chapter 170: The Kings Leave Beijing
To be honest, Zhu Xiongying is very easy to understand what He Xi brought.
The reason is simple.
What Zhu Xiongying himself studied is actually a mixture of modern science and ancient Confucianism, and there is a little bit of it in all aspects, giving people the feeling that it is not much different from the textbooks in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China.
After having a foundation, Zhu Xiongying learned without a threshold.
It's just that Zhu Xiongying has never been able to understand. Things were in front of his eyes, and he couldn't believe that He Xi, his uncle actually crossed over from six hundred years later.
The facts are right in front of you.
He couldn't help but believe it.
During this period of time, Zhu Xiongying lived in Hefu, hungry to learn new knowledge.
And with Zhu Yuanzhang making up his mind. It's time for the big drama in Nanjing to come to an end.
-----
Zhu Yuanzhang decreed, and the kings left Beijing one after another.
On the dock of Nanjing, He Xi also bid farewell to King Yan.
During this period of time, King Yan was in the Wei Mansion and received a lot of teachings from Xu Da. After all, he came by Zhu Yuanzhang's edict. Although Wei Guogong couldn't guess what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do. But after all, he is his son-in-law, and he always has to take care of one or two.
What's more, as far as Xu Da's heart is concerned, he actually doesn't want his son to inherit the family business.
Three generations of generals, the taboo of soldiers.
Xu Da didn't see that his sons had a talent for the art of war beyond ordinary people, the eldest was okay, and the others were waiting for him. What's more, Xu Da already had a premonition that his political career was coming to an end.
On the one hand, it was Xu Da who knew what he was doing in Zhu Yuanzhang's coma, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little jealous, and on the other hand, it was Xu Da's own body.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the crown prince is gone, and the queen is gone. Tang He also had one breath left. As for the other old brothers, there are not a few who have been damaged, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is seventy years old.
When Zhu Yuanzhang raised the army, he was only twenty-four years old, and many generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to raise troops at that time were older than Zhu Yuanzhang, such as Tang He. Now, it is time for them to retire from the stage of history in their lifetime.
Xu Da also had a hunch that his time was running out. Because of the big pit dug out of the operation, every rainy day, it hurts to the bone.
Xu Da's way of marching and fighting all his life also wants to have a heritage. Whether King Yan is an emperor or not, looking at King Yan's vassal kingdom, it is always useful.
So, he carefully taught it to King Yan.
For King Yan, this trip to Nanjing was also quite confusing.
He originally thought that he had a chance to touch the throne of supreme power, but he didn't know what was going on, so he let him return to China. Although Zhu Yuanzhang also saw him. But he never mentioned the matter of the storage position, but talked about his study of the art of war, and told him to study hard. Contribute to the country.
King Yan knew that there was no play.
But what is behind this? He was actually quite confused.
At this moment, he was ordered to return to China, and there were not many others to send. He Xi is among them.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the kings to return to the country, and these people who have been immersed in political struggles all their lives have already understood that the emperor, the kings have no chance, and the throne is in the prince's line.
Although there are many princes, only Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen are adults.
The big seat is between the two.
At this time, how could these spirits contaminate the vassal king, and there were only a few people who didn't care about these to see them off.
It is nothing more than He Xi, Li Jinglong, Mei Yin and a few others.
In the eyes of outsiders, these people are people who will not have much influence no matter who is in power.
King Yan didn't say anything about how he greeted these people, but when he arrived here, King Yan left He Xi to talk privately and asked, "In the past few days, you have been walking in front of your father, what does your father think, can you reveal it?"
He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, do you say it's okay?"
King Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Also
Yes."
He was a little stunned, before King Yan came, he had done enough psychological construction, and he didn't seem to have any idea about that position, but as a prince, how could he really have no idea at all.
It's just that he can't go out and fight.
Now, knowing that the big position passed by him, in fact, deep down, there are some unwillingness.
He Xi said, "However, there are some things, even if I don't say it, Your Highness won't know it until a few days later."
He Xi has already begun to prepare for the future. He Xi pondered the future, King Yan is one of the great variables, and King Yan doesn't know yet. So be sure to have a good relationship with King Yan.
Although He Xi doesn't know how much this kind of personal relationship can play in the event of a major event in the world. But even a little bit of it can be beneficial.
King Yan said, "Oh, what's the matter?"
He Xi said: "I will return to Beijing in the near future, and I will stay in Beijing and preside over the military and political affairs of Beijing, Hebei, and Liaodong."
King Yan said, "The eldest brother, the second child? Why him?"
The reason why King Yan made this judgment was because of who He Xi favored as a whole? King Yan naturally knew. If Zhu Yuanzhang finalized Zhu Xiongying, then He Xi should stay in Beijing to assist the government, not the other way around.
King Yan was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's succession.
No other, rules.
If according to the system of having a son-in-law, the prince is the eldest son-in-law, then Zhu Xiongying is the son-in-law and the eldest son. He should also be the future prince. If it is not based on the eldest son, then with the head of the country, it will not be the turn of two children at all.
Isn't he King Yan as good as Zhu Yunwen?
He Xi could only smile bitterly at what King Yan said, and now only He Xi knew Zhu Yuanzhang's overall plan, and even Zhu Xiongying couldn't fully understand it. This is something that can never be said.
No one believed it.
No one believed that Zhu Yuanzhang could be so ruthless.
He did not hesitate to spend tens of millions of lives to pave the way for his own political goals.
He Xi could only smile bitterly.
King Yan immediately understood He Xi's wry smile, patted He Xi's shoulder, and said, "The old man is confused. If you are uncomfortable staying in the Central Plains, come to me at any time, don't look at it, my Yan country is a remote and bitter cold place, but this Yan country will not be like this forever."
"The future of Yan Kingdom is still a plan you made. You come to help me, I will entrust you with all the affairs of the Yan Kingdom, I am in charge of the army, you are in charge, you and my brothers will join forces to create a big world."
For a moment, He Xi had a hint of heartbeat.
Because a blank sheet of paper is easy to draw.
Yes. The Yan Kingdom is now only a few hundred thousand horses. However, He Xi believed that King Yan would not let the Yan Kingdom be confined to the Songnen Plain in the future. In the future, it will definitely make a big difference. In the future, if the Yan Kingdom can spread thousands of miles, cross the desert, and then communicate with the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there will be the basic conditions for industrialization.
Compared with carrying out reform in the Central Plains, it is necessary to have a big fight. In Yan Country, there are not so many constraints. After all, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is a conqueror, and all contradictions have been cleaned in the conquest.
It's just that He Xi shook his head in his heart.
First, He Xi knew very well that the future was the world of the Ocean Empire, and the Yan Kingdom would become a powerful nomadic empire at most, or even the last nomadic empire. But it was difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the Great Voyage. Second, although the ancient and modern times are different, He Xi's national identity is somewhat misplaced, after all, the Ming Dynasty and the future China are completely different political entities, and the Yan Kingdom where the King of Yan is located, in the eyes of the Ming people, is also the Ming Dynasty. But in He Xi's eyes, it may not be China.
In the future, after the Yan State becomes strong, it will inevitably clash with the Ming Dynasty.
Did he come to this era to create a powerful nomadic dynasty to invade the Central Plains?
Although the upper echelons of this nomadic dynasty were also Han Chinese.
He Xi said: "If there really is such a day, I will definitely defect to the fourth brother, but the fourth brother also knows that my whole life has been on the reform of the law, I can die, and the law can be destroyed regardless of it. I am a clan, I can't learn. So, whatever it is
Son, I'm going to give it a go. I also hope that the fourth brother will help me in the future for the sake of your and my friendship for many years."
After listening to He Xi's words, King Yan was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Why are you so troubled? There are many things in the world that cannot be forced. The old man gave up. What kind of splash can you toss, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Anqing
