Chapter 44 Reassures People's Hearts

When He Xi was about to tell Princess Anqing what he thought, Princess Anqing suddenly seemed to have figured it out, shed tears, and said, "It must be Zhu Yunwen who did something, it must be."

He Xi said: "There is no evidence from Nanjing, and Wei Guogong has also gone to pay respects to the remains, if there is anything, Wei Guogong will not fail to say it."

"What does the edict say?" Princess Anqing said, "This must be Zhu Yunwen's handiwork, Zhu Yunwen, you brute."

He Xi thought to himself, "Maybe there was no edict in the first place?" He Xi didn't think that Zhu Yunwen really killed Zhu Yuanzhang, because there was no need, before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he had almost acquiesced to Zhu Yunwen's storage position. In this case, why did Zhu Yunwen kill Zhu Yuanzhang?

In order to ascend the throne early?

But He Xi thought about it, there are some things that are really hard to say, especially the things in the palace, which are plotted in the dark room and become instantaneous, and it is difficult to find out. A lot of impossible things may be possible.

Did Zhu Yuanzhang really die a normal death?

He Xi didn't dare to be 100% sure.

What's more, firstly, this assertion is beneficial to He Xi, and secondly, the current princess of security is obviously in an emotion.

He Xi could feel that Princess Anqing was very self-blaming in her heart.

He Xi pondered. There are two places where Princess Anqing blames herself, if she hadn't raised Zhu Xiongying by her side, Zhu Xiongying would not have been at odds with the crown princess Lu, so that the Lu family supported her son to take the heir. So much so that in today's chaos, another place is that He Xi played a disgraceful role in this chaotic situation in the world.

Now this disgraceful role has been given to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Anqing's innermost emotions always need a place to vent. Is this the time to be reasonable?

No.

He Xi said, "If you don't say it, I haven't thought about it yet, but now that I think about it, there must be something wrong with it."

After getting He Xi's affirmation, Princess Anqing cried even more. A burst of crying vented the emotions in his heart, and then he fell into a deep sleep. After He Xi settled Princess Anqing, he passed down the order and summoned people from all walks of life to meet.

There are a lot of things about He Xi, it can be said that there are very, very many.

The first thing to see is Yang Shiqi.

After Yang Shiqi saw He Xi, he directly reported the situation of the granaries in various places. There is no nonsense at all.

It's just that Yang Shiqi knows that He Xi has been storing grain in Beijing.

Yang Shiqi felt that this was probably just in case, Beijing was the core pillar of the northern Ming Dynasty, and food was very important to feed so many soldiers and horses. It's just that Yang Shiqi felt that it was not right at that time, that is, the grain of Goryeo, plus the grain of Liaodong, can actually supply Beijing.

Historically, Beijing consumed four million stone per year. But today's Beijing is different from history, and today's Beijing is just a companion capital, there are not so many soldiers and horses to maintain, not to mention that today's guards are still more powerful, not only do not need the imperial court to allocate grain, but also hand over seeds and grain land.

In this way, coupled with the additional development of Liaodong, Korean grain, and Hebei's local grain, it is said that there is a food shortage in Beijing, then there is naturally it. Even if there are some grain producing areas, it is impossible to change the current situation of insufficient grain in the north. Not to mention anything else, Mo Nan just eats Daming grain.

It's all demand.

But Yang Shiqi felt that there shouldn't be so much.

Because it's not economical.

As mentioned above, grain storage is depleted, not to mention the depletion of each drying, as if there are no mice, no mold and insects, but even so, after a few years, it will become stale grain, and it will not be eaten for many years.

It's a lot of money.

Yang Shiqi felt that the grain was naturally right, but it should also be replenished within a certain range. There was obviously more food in the tun before.

What did you do now? If Yang Shiqi didn't know that He Xi had been prepared, he wouldn't be Yang Shiqi.

It's just that it's like this, Yang Shiqi and He Xi have such a close relationship, he Yang Shiqi doesn't have a second choice at all, he's also

What do you do with this one thing? Based on the fact that he has already boarded the thief ship, the most important thing is victory, and he has successfully transformed the thief ship into an official ship. Everything else is subsections.

It's just that Yang Shiqi didn't say it, but He Xi couldn't help but say it.

Because to unify the mind.

Although He Xi spread a lot of new doctrines, He Xi did not dare to touch the big festivals of loyalty and filial piety. First, the concept of loyalty and filial piety has changed from a Confucian concept to a universal value of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, loyalty and filial piety, even after thousands of years, cannot be denied, and now it can be denied?

In the same war, whether there is justice or not is very important to the people's hearts, maybe ordinary soldiers don't care about these at all, after all, they are soldiers and fight, nothing more than a mouthful of food, more than fame and fortune. What is just or unjust, for them, does not matter at all.

However, for civil officials like Yang Shiqi, it is very important.

He Xi must unify his thoughts with them, and at least make them believe that their cause is just.

After He Xi and Yang Shiqi finished talking about food, He Xi said, "Brother Yang, are you curious, why am I hoarding so much food in the north? Am I premeditated?"

Yang Shiqi said, "I'm not curious. Because I have long been one with adults, and no matter what adults do, I will follow them in life and death?"

He Xi laughed when he heard this, and said, "It sounds very touching. But I don't need to. What I need is comrades who work together for the same cause, not people who follow the same crowd."

"There are some things in this that you can't pass on, but I'll explain them to you. Your Highness's holy decree of the prison country, you have also examined it, is it true or false?"

Yang Shiqi said, "Really."

He Xi said: "Before I came to Beijing, the first emperor had already determined the storage position, that is, His Royal Highness, that is, let me assist His Highness, first change the law in Beijing, and then implement the world, and even have the intention of moving the capital to Beijing, these policies, you know, if there is no first emperor, I can implement it until now?"

"I stocked up on food because I was going to do a lot of big things, and I was not well prepared for the construction of a large construction project in Beijing. Of course, I am also prepared, after all, we are in Beijing, and King Xia is in Nanjing? I was worried that I wouldn't be able to react in time."

"I just didn't expect it, but something happened."

He Xi said, "Even I doubt it?"

Yang Shiqi said, "Adults doubtful?"

He Xi said, "I suspect that Your Majesty was originally going to summon His Highness back to Beijing this year. I just didn't expect something like this to happen."

Needless to say, this is too clear.

Yang Shiqi's face turned pale, the smarter a person is, the easier it is to make up for his brain. There is too much aftertaste in He Xi's words. Palace battles, ancestor killing, usurpation. In an instant, Yang Shiqi thought of a lot, and even their permutations and combinations were different, forming countless possibilities.

But not daring to that possibility is enough for Yang Shiqi to eliminate a little barrier in his heart.

As Yang Shiqi said, everything about him has long been with He Xigang. He Xi worked hard, and he could only keep up, but He Xi gave this explanation, and Yang Shiqi also felt that it might be true. Yang Shiqi felt that there were some details, He Xi may have concealed them, but in general, the truth should be like this.

Otherwise a lot of things can't be explained.

For example, Nanjing did not have an edict, but Beijing had a genuine edict from the state of prison.

It doesn't even need to be emphasized by He Xi, many people already have doubts about this matter. Human nature has been the same from ancient times to the present, most people don't care about the heart, only what they want to see.

Yang Shiqi said: "The lower officials will definitely follow the adults and set things right for the world."

He Xi said: "Not only to set things right, but also to inherit the will of the first emperor and carry out the reform to the end, I suspect that this thing is an important inducement, they even dare to do this kind of thing. So once," He Xi sighed, not saying anything, but it seemed to have been said. He continued: "When the time comes, we will wait for the bones to be left and nothing will matter, and we will not be able to pass on these knowledges, and the most important thing is where the world goes."

"If the world is always in the hands of those old decayers, but for three hundred years, I will die and I will not be reconciled."
