Chapter 43 He Xi's cowardice

"The Mongols in the south and north of the desert are the mainstay, with a total of more than a million people, but they can recruit more than 100,000 cavalry and supply countless war horses. Naturally, it is a battleground for soldiers. Although most of the lower ranks were Mongols, the upper officers were all Han Chinese. This has always been. Therefore, the people who are most afraid of the Mongols turning the tables in the south and north of the desert are the commanders at all levels." He Xi said, "Now they can't even if they want to vote for the king of Jin."

"Why?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

He Xi said: "Because grain, wool, ironware, these things are inseparable from Beijing, which is the largest livestock market in the Ming Dynasty. They produce the most cattle and wool. Every autumn, they would drive a large number of cattle to Beijing to trade, and if this kind of trade could not be done, they would freeze to death in winter. Winter is not a few months away."

"It's a constant relationship, and even if someone wants to go south, it's impossible."

When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he suddenly realized and said, "This is what my uncle has thought about a long time ago, right?"

He Xi smiled silently, did not answer directly, but paused slightly, and said, "However, the combination of grace and power cannot force people too close, so the minister asked His Highness to patrol the border, and he went to show grace."

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying completely abandoned the idea of He Xi in his heart.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

What Zhu Xiongying wants most is to sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty, even if the throne of the Ming Dynasty is discounted. But he was worried about the current situation. His situation is more difficult than in history, I don't know how many times better, but the south has also strengthened. Not to mention anything else, Wei Guogong and Uncle Xu are in the south.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Xiongying had no confidence, and even he felt that even if the fourth uncle was in his position, he probably didn't have much confidence.

And He Xi's southern expedition, breaking the enemy in a battle, made a good start. is even more clever, and he will have already tied Mo Nan and Mo Bei to his body. And there are also measured. At least Zhu Xiongying thinks that people in the world are powerful ministers, who is the most difficult to oppose? That's naturally what the night is.

When others look at the throne, they all have sparks in their eyes.

And He Xi didn't have much desire for the throne.

Zhu Xiongying secretly said in his heart: "Let's go, the coming day will be long." The most important thing now is to learn from He Xi, and this mess will be mine sooner or later."

Zhu Xiongying said, "Okay, I'll follow my uncle. But is it really useful for Qu Tong?"

He Xi said, "Just go and have a look. However, in my opinion, if Qu Tong had really taken refuge in the south, there should have been news a long time ago, and it would not have been hidden. There is no news, and many times it is good news."

------

He Xi walked out of the Qianqing Palace and breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Zhu Xiongying have run in well, and the two sides are moving closer to a position that is acceptable to each other.

He Xi is acceptable to this result. His most important thing is to promote industrial development and complete the transformation of society, and everything else must be put to rest.

As for the fact that Zhu Xiongying will definitely take power in the future, he will definitely fight back. He Xi expected it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement of the aftermath taught He Xi a deep lesson. The depth and breadth of He Xi's thinking have been deepened. Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly created a world trend that is conducive to changing the law, in which the grasp of the general trend of the world, the calculation of people's hearts, and the interpretation and judgment of human nature. This made He Xi feel very little.

He Xi secretly said, "I can't do everything. If a system is maintained and protected by only one person, then the system might as well be dismantled. The future can be regarded as a test."

As soon as he thought of this, He Xi didn't care.

Anyway, after he established a system, he retired successfully. The world is so big, where can't I go? After all, his relationship with Zhu Xiongying is extraordinary. Personal safety is still there. As for the others, he didn't care.

For things that are too far away, He Xi didn't think much about it.

It's just that when he came back to the door, he didn't dare to come in.

Because of Princess Anqing.

He can deal with Zhu Xiongying at will, but he can't do that

Easily deal with this Anqing princess.

After the Shen Guogong mutiny, He Xi has been very busy, and he hardly goes home, not necessarily to avoid meeting Princess Anqing. I don't know how to face Princess Anqing. In the whole world, if there is anyone who makes him afraid, it is naturally Princess Anqing.

But now they're all home. Can it still be seen?

He Xi sighed and pushed the door in.

Sure enough, Princess Anqing was waiting for him. Princess Anqing was immersed in a bleak feeling.

Princess Anqing grew up under the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma since she was a child, and her feelings for her parents are naturally very deep, but now that her father is dead, she can't run to mourn, and she will make a mess tomorrow, Princess Anqing has too many questions.

Even Zhu Xiongying felt it. He Xi's concealment.

How could Princess Anqing not know?

Princess Anqing saw He Xi coming over and said, "Why don't you avoid me. What have you done to the detriment?"

He Xi said, "No."

Princess Anqing said, "Okay, let me ask you. Didn't you kill my father?"

When He Xi heard this, he almost jumped up and said, "How can you ask such a thing?"

Princess Anqing said, "How do you ask? News has just come from Nanjing, and if you haven't died yet, you will take Xiongying hostage and raise troops. What do you think you want to do with this behavior? What do you think I should think? People outside are saying that you have been planning for a long time, plotting a big rebellion, but you are just holding a sign of Xiongying."

As she spoke, Princess Anqing's eyes turned red. Princess Anqing said, "The surname is He, since you came to Daming, my Zhu family has not treated you badly. My father is the only one in the world to love you, and even I, a daughter, are jealous, and if you have any other thoughts, you want to kill me."

He Xi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he hurriedly walked up and hugged Princess Anqing and said, "Isn't that the case?"

Princess Anqing shook it hard, wanting to shake He Xi, but He Xi hugged it tightly, so she didn't shake it off.

In this way, He Xi hugged Princess Anqing and said, "You know me, I have no interest in the throne, and now all this was arranged by the first emperor."

Immediately, He Xi explained the situation to Princess Anqing one by one. Finally, he said, "For the sake of the emperor's posthumous name, don't say it."

Princess Anqing breathed a sigh of relief. If He Xi really has any ideas, Princess Anqing, who is sandwiched between He Xi and his mother's family, is the most uncomfortable. She didn't believe too much in what He Xi said, but she was willing to believe He Xi's words.

It's just that Princess Anqing suddenly thought of something and said, "He Xi, there is one thing I don't understand, in the history books, my father died in May of the 31st year of Hongwu, and now it is the 28th year of Hongwu, which is three years in advance. Why?"

"Moreover, you didn't invite Dai Shen Doctor and researched a lot of new medical techniques, my father should have lived longer than in history, why is he not as alive as in history?"

He Xi was stunned in his heart, and thought a lot.

He Xi estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang had already arranged the aftermath of his death, and he had no worries in his heart. In fact, in history, after Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Yunwen the prince, he was critically ill several times, but he survived, and even helped the sick body to see the minister and give Zhu Yunwen a platform.

Several times it was a near-death death. Probably worried that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to be present. only to grit his teeth and hold on. Now Zhu Yuanzhang has no such idea. And the words in front of the queen hit him too hard. He didn't do what the queen said, and his heart was even more burdened.

In this way, I don't care about life and death.

Not to mention, the medical skills that He Xi handed over to Dai Yuanli seem to have made obvious progress, but that's it. These medical skills have lowered the threshold for studying medicine, and there have been breakthroughs in many common diseases, although they have overcome the stubborn disease of smallpox, but it is difficult to say that there is any good way to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's old injuries and geriatric diseases.

Even in later generations, when middle-aged and elderly diseases occur, many times some people go to see Chinese medicine.

Later generations are still like this, although He Xi brought a lot of theories, but the progress of medical skills is not obvious, Western medicine before the birth of antibiotics, compared with traditional Chinese medicine, there may not be much progress, so He Xi brought

The medical skills that came to him didn't help much in treating Zhu Yuanzhang.
