Chapter 3: Shen Guogong's thoughts

This is not an ordinary day, but a spring festival.

This is also the first grand sacrifice after the completion of the Beijing city, it is Zhu Xiongying who came forward to sacrifice Sheji, praying for a bumper harvest. Then the day of spring ploughing was the day when the Beijing Ministry of Rites operated for the first time.

This also represents the city of Beijing, which has truly become the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Not a construction site.

On such an important day, all the civil and military forces in Beijing have to come forward.

Among them, of course, includes He Xi.

Ho Mansion is very close to the Royal Palace, almost a neighbor. He Xi went from He Mansion to the Imperial Palace, and there were not a few steps. After all, Beijing City was built by He Xi, and the location of He Mansion is naturally very good. It is just across the river from the Royal Palace. This river is naturally the river that draws water from Beijing, and it is also a landscape river in the city. It flows into the city of Beijing from the northeast and flows into the imperial palace, and there is a small lake in the north of the imperial palace, which can be regarded as a imitation of the arrangement of Nanjing Houhu behind the imperial palace. Then the river left the palace and joined the canal from the south of the city.

This He Mansion is on the west bank of the river, and it has led living water into the mansion. In the entire Beijing City Mansion, He Mansion can be ranked in the top ten.

And the Imperial Palace of Beijing City, He Xi did not make any innovations, except for the extensive use of reinforced concrete, nothing else was done. It is almost exactly the same as the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations, and the reason why it is so is because the Forbidden City in Beijing is a replica of the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

It is not that the Forbidden City in Beijing today is the same as the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations, but that the Forbidden City in Beijing is almost the same as the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

He Xi rested in the duty room outside the Fengtian Gate.

In a moment, someone came in.

He Xi naturally knows who it is?

There will be no one else, it is the Governor of the Later Army, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen.

Because, in the city of Beijing, the only person who can sit on an equal footing with He Xi is Deng Zhen. It can even be said that Deng Zhen can be regarded as He Xi's deputy now.

Of course. Zhu Xiongying is not among them. Now Zhu Xiongying is preparing for the ceremony, so naturally he will not appear here.

He Xi said, "Guogong, you are here."

Deng Zhen said, "Lord He, how can I not come to such a thing, in fact, I also want to talk to Lord He for a while."

He Xi smiled, "What are you talking about?"

Deng Zhen said, "My lord, don't you know what I'm going to talk about?"

He Xi said, "Since everyone knows, what else is there to talk about."

Deng Zhen sighed and said, "I don't understand, good manners, why did Your Majesty do this? The current situation in Beijing can be described as extremely dangerous, don't you have any ideas?"

If it is said that at the beginning, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, many people still think that the admonition of the chaos in the world back then is alarmist, after all, who is Zhu Yuanzhang? Over the years, ups and downs have come over. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is vicious, and it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has a tough wrist. But it can't be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is a fool.

Such a simple thing is obviously something that plunges the world into turmoil. How could Zhu Yuanzhang do it?

But after a few years, it's different.

In the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang's health has deteriorated dramatically. The body is getting worse and worse. Several times, Doctor Dai lived in the palace all night, rescued for more than ten days, and even several times, Nanjing was ready to mourn.

In this way, everyone saw the harm of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not establish who the grandson is? And the two grandsons were arranged in the north and south of Beijing, and they also had their own supporters. If Zhu Yuanzhang is alive, a piece of edict can determine who is the successor. But once Zhu Yuanzhang is gone.

That's the chaos in the world.

In this situation, many people don't know how to do it.

And in the past two years, Tang He and Mu Ying have passed away one after another. And among these two people, Tang He didn't leave any words before he died, after all, Tang He was the sickest, and when he died, he had been speechless for several months.

It's impossible to leave anything behind.

And before Mu Ying died, her only last words were to hope that Zhu Yuanzhang would make a prince as soon as possible, no matter what

Anyone can do it, but this situation of two dragons dividing the world can no longer be maintained.

It can be said that Mu Ying's death. Half of it is the land of smoke and miasma in Yunnan, which destroyed Mu Ying's body. Half of it is that Mu Ying is sad because of the death of the prince, and she is also worried about this strange situation after the death of the prince.

With it, Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill again and again.

People all over the world are becoming more and more worried about the current situation.

Those who are on the outside are worried about the chaos in the future, and those who are in the game are worried about their future.

And Deng Zhen is a person in the game. Because Deng Zhen nominally controlled the military power in Beijing, but in fact, Deng Zhen also controlled a considerable number of soldiers and horses in Beijing. It's just that in the future, to avoid being in a place of suspicion, we will not dare to fully grasp Beijing's military power.

In this case, Deng Zhen was very embarrassed.

On the Nanjing side, that is, Zhu Yunwen has been wooing Deng Zhen and wants Deng Zhen to fall to them. It seems that as long as Deng Zhen falls to them. Take down Zhu Xiongying, and then the world will return to peace. There is no crisis at all.

And Zhu Xiongying is also courting Deng Zhen, and now she is seeking Deng Zhen's daughter as a concubine.

Wants to pull Deng Zhen onto his own boat.

It's just that no one on either side of Deng Zhen wants to stand, because Deng Zhen is self-aware. The Deng family is now a hereditary reckless prince. Even if you support the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne, what can you do? Can you still be crowned the king of the county? At most, the posthumous county king. Once it fails, there will be no more of his own father-in-law. Generations of wealth are gone.

Deng Zhen has wanted to leave Beijing for a job elsewhere for the umpteenth time, or simply resign and go home to recuperate.

But the problem is, how many times did it not work out.

The more he resigned, the more he showed that he didn't want to wade into troubled waters, and the more the two sides wanted to keep Deng Zhen in the bureau. Without him, no one is sure that they will place their own people in this position. Since you can't settle your own people, it's best to use a neutral person.

And the person who has enough status and wants to remain neutral, who is not Deng Zhen?

This became Deng Zhen's dilemma.

Deng Zhen has no way now, and wants to have a good talk with He Xi.

And He Xi has nothing to talk about, it is very simple, He Xi has long been tied to Zhu Xiongying. There was no way he could change his choice. Talking about it is nothing more than persuading Zhu Xiongying's ship in Deng Town, and this is not the first time he has said this.

It's useless to say anything more.

Naturally, I don't want to talk about it.

He Xi said, "The imperial court has always been a whirlpool, when are we people not dangerous? It's not that it's dangerous now."

Yes, the power field is always dangerous, and the old and the new are changing all the time. Maybe ordinary people don't feel it, but the people in the middle of the power field are actually changing all the time, and in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people, which was the norm.

And more often than not, people who fall from a height rarely have a whole corpse.

For these people, the failure of the political struggle and the failure of the military struggle are not much different, it is nothing more than the difference between *** and a dead person.

Deng Zhen was speechless for a while.

There was only deathly silence in the room.

He Xi had a hunch in his heart that his cooperation with Deng Zhen for several years was about to come to an end, and maybe he would meet in the future.

It's not that Deng Zhen doesn't support Zhu Xiongying and supports Zhu Yunwen. likes Zhu Yunwen and doesn't like Zhu Xiongying, but Deng Zhen has feelings for Da Mingxia. Now the situation is clear. Zhu Yunwen is in Nanjing, and if Zhu Yunwen wins, he only needs to get rid of Zhu Xiongying. But if Zhu Xiongying wants to win, it is estimated that he will have to fight in Jingshi.

The difficulty of the two is not the same.

In the former, Deng Zhen did it by the method. And the latter, even if it succeeds in bringing too much damage to Daming.

It's what Deng Zhen doesn't want to see.

And Deng Zhen talked to He Xi this time, and what he wanted to talk about was probably to pull He Xi over. In this way, in the city of Beijing, he has absolute certainty in dealing with Zhu Xiongying. It's just that he doesn't know that the core of Zhu Xiongying's side is not Zhu Xiongying, but He Xi.

In Deng Zhen's view, Zhu Xiongying is moving against the trend of the times, and He Xi looks at it

Come, Deng Zhen is also hindering the development of productive forces and hindering the tide of history. 、

From each other's point of view, it's all right.

It just depends on who is more correct, and it can only be proved by deeds. The winner is right.

"The hour is ------," a small eunuch outside broke the peace of the rest room.
