Broken things.

Zhu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he sent his freehand to arrange it, and began to take a nap.

It was late afternoon when I woke up.

Here is leaving blank to serve and dress, and he rushed over freehand, saying that the Gongwei Division Baihu Wenzao returned again, and Zhao Xu also followed back to Mingzhou.

Came to the Mingxin Hall in the garden to meet guests, Wen Zao and Zhao Xu, who had been waiting for a long time, visited together, and by the way, they presented the paperwork and letter packages brought back from Lao Zhu.

Unpacking the package, Zhu Yuan asked Zhao Xu, "Why did you come back?"

Zhao continued, "The Lord ordered his subordinates to escort the Lord back to Jinling."

"It's not bad for you," Zhu Yuan laughed and teased, at the moment, there are still military merits to be made on the front line, and being sent to meet him is hard work if he does it well, and if he doesn't do it well, he has to eat and hang. However, since he returned, he couldn't help it, so he asked, "How did you feel about this trip?"

"To be able to participate in such a battle, it is worth this life under the office," Zhao Xu also smiled, and said, "In addition, the post brought two hundred robes, and there are still 171 people left, and they will also return together this time." The Lord remembered the hard work of the inferior people, and reinstated the office of a thousand households, and the rest of the robes were also rewarded with promotions."

Because of Zhu Yuan's assassination last time, the guards were ineffective, and Zhao Xu was not only demoted from a thousand households to a hundred households by Lao Zhu, but also received a military stick.

This trip...... It's kind of earning the title back.

Didn't run in vain.

Zhu Yuan actually hoped that Zhao Xu and them could establish some unexpected achievements on the front line, but unfortunately, except for Qiao An, the other subordinates of the navy who knew each other did not show their outstanding performance. Thinking about it now, the conquest of hundreds of thousands of troops, unless it is a Mengren like Chang Yuchun who can create opportunities by himself, it is indeed difficult for middle- and lower-level officers like Zhao Xu to perform.

As he spoke, Zhu Yuan also unwrapped the package.

Or find Lao Zhu's handwritten letter first, as expected, this time he ordered Zhu Yuan to return to Jinling.

And many other things.

In the north, Lao Zhu has left Bianliang on the second day of the first month of September, and is expected to return to Jinling in half a month, that is, around September 16, just so that he will not miss Lao Zhu's September 18th birthday, which is now called Tianshou Festival.

Lao Zhu's request was for Zhu Yuan to go back early.

Because of the imperial examination thing.

Zhu Yuan was named as the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and he did not see any other appointments in the letter, so he was probably the only chief examiner.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites assists in the operation.

Because of the previous correspondence, even if Zhu Yuan had anticipated this in advance, he still couldn't avoid pressure.

Not only because of Lao Zhu's trust, but also, at least, his age on the surface, and the consideration of different forces in the court, such a "Mu Xiu Yu Lin" is really eye-catching.

It's hateful.

During this time, after receiving the impeachment sent by Lao Zhu, Zhu Yuan has always reflected.

In the past six months, I have made so much progress, and I should retreat.

After all, the moment ......

is still this body, according to his own setting, he only passed his 14th birthday at the beginning of the year, but he has already done so many things, and even, just like before, Lao Zhu said that in the battle of Dadu, he was the first to take the lead.

It's really not good to be at the peak so early.

Just like Zhu Wenzheng.

The history of Lao Zhu and Zhu Wenzheng's uncle and nephew is like a lake book.

It can be said that it confirmed the battle of Poyang Lake in which the Zhu family set the world, and Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu for more than 80 days under the condition that his troops were absolutely weak, and bought valuable time for Lao Zhu to gather troops to counterattack Chen Youliang, but after this battle, the relationship between the uncle and nephew took a sharp turn for the worse.

According to historical records, Zhu Wenzheng was dissatisfied because Lao Zhu rewarded other generals after the war, but only omitted his own nephew, so he was resentful, not only did all kinds of nonsense, but even took refuge in Zhang Shicheng. In the end, he was confined by Lao Zhu and even beaten to death with a whip.

What are the facts?

Nobody knows.

However, it can be inferred from certain logic.

After Lao Zhu crossed the river, he reorganized the armies, set up the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and fought many wars

At the age of 25, Zhu Wenzheng was awarded the title of Metropolitan Governor, and he has the right to control the armies, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

This year is the twenty-first year of the Zhizheng, the year 1361 of the Common Era.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is really too one-step, and I have to say that Lao Zhu is really too good to his relatives, however, it has also caused another result, Zhu Wenzheng, the merit is unstoppable.

Two years later, in the twenty-third year of Zhizheng, the Battle of Poyang Lake broke out.

Zhu Wenzheng worked hard to defend Hongdu and made great contributions, and then Lao Zhu was embarrassed.

Pacify Chen Youliang, the generals continue to work, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others have their own rewards, but for their own nephews, the official position is already a positive product, and the military position is already the governor of the capital, how else can it be sealed, directly crowned the king?

The problem is that Lao Zhu himself was only King Wu at that time.

can't be rewarded, can only be dried, with Lao Zhu's attitude towards his family, when he ascends the throne, Zhu Wenzheng will definitely be a prince.

And so it is.

In the past three years of Hongwu, Zhu Wenzheng's son Zhu Shouqian, as a nephew, should have been the title of the county king, but in the Ming Dynasty, the Jingjiang King family enjoyed all the prince-level treatment, which was obviously Lao Zhu gave the credit that should have belonged to his nephew to the nephew.

Besides, at that time, Zhu Wenzheng didn't wait for the day when he was crowned king, and he fell out with his uncle.

In the historical records, the arson and plunder, the robbery of people's daughters, the sale of illicit salt, etc., in fact, these are not a matter, Lao Zhu's harshness has always been only for outsiders, at least on the harsh scale, between relatives and relatives, super double standard, which can be proved by too many historical facts.

Zhu Wenzheng's biggest mistake is actually just one, resentment.

According to historical records, after Zhu Wenzheng, who felt that the reward was unfair and had all kinds of grievances in public, was denounced by the local government, Lao Zhu personally left Jinling and rushed thousands of miles to Hongdu, where "non-flesh and blood ministers cannot be guarded", and asked his nephew "What do you want to do". Zhu Wenzheng began to talk back, and even a quarrel broke out between the uncle and nephew, and Zhu Wenzheng, who tore his face, scolded Lao Zhu, using words that "gods and ghosts can't bear to hear".

Then, Zhu Wenzheng was taken back to Jinling by Lao Zhu and imprisoned, during which he tried to reuse it several times, Zhu Wenzheng repeatedly refused, and finally was whipped to death by the angry old Zhu.

According to the perspective of feudal power, Zhu Wenzheng was a master and mastered military power, and at that time, Zhu Biao, the son of Lao Zhu, and others were young, in order to prevent his nephew from threatening his own status and even his own son, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed and even got rid of Zhu Wenzheng step by step.

Zhu Yuan felt that there may be related factors, but there are definitely not many.

Because according to Zhu Yuan's understanding of Lao Zhu after reading many historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has never been a monarch who is good at playing with all kinds of imperial power tricks, from beginning to end, he is just an "old peasant" who accidentally hit the world and wants to pass on this "family business" to his children and grandchildren all his life.

As for the dispute between uncle and nephew.

Zhu Wenzheng failed to get the reward and was resentful, which is most likely a fact. On the other hand, Lao Zhu wanted to get rid of his nephew, who was a high-ranking master, if this was the case, after Zhu Wenzheng was impeached, Lao Zhu would definitely be happy in his heart, and then directly stripped his nephew of all his positions, sent someone to escort him to Jinling, and imprisoned him.

The truth is, how did Lao Zhu do it?

Putting aside the national affairs that he couldn't finish every day, he traveled thousands of miles from Jinling to Hongdu, asking his nephew, "What do you want to do?"

Is this something that a monarch with a standard imperial mind would do?

No.

This is what an uncle who has raised his nephew as a son for so many years and is suddenly extremely disappointed after his head is hot-headed.

The whole thing, right and wrong, or that sentence, a lake account.

Present.

Thinking of Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Yuan reminded himself the most, that is, not to let himself and Lao Zhu fall into the embarrassment he once had.

Regarding Zhu Wenzheng's matter, does Lao Zhu have any reflections?

Yes.

Later, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was restructured, and Lao Zhu took off the title of Metropolitan Governor, but only left and right

The governor was promoted by one level and listed as a genuine product.

As for the rest......

Let's just say one, Li Wenzhong, who was also raised as a son, pacified Zhang Shicheng last year, and was promoted to Pingzhang of Zhejiang Province.

Li Wenzhong was only 28 years old last year.

It can be said that not much has changed.

In fact, this also proves once again from another angle that Lao Zhu has a bad deal with his nephew, the so-called desire to consolidate the power of the lineage will not be too much, otherwise, Lao Zhu should also take precautions against his nephew.

And then there is Zhu Yuan himself.

In the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, this is the importance that His Majesty the Emperor attaches to a certain "five-hundred-year-old national honor" outside the world, so much so that he appoints a young man who is only more than ten years old to various prominent official positions. In fact, the most critical point is that Lao Zhu recognized Zhu Yuan from the bottom of his heart as the twenty-third grandson of their Lao Zhu family.

Own family.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu will definitely reuse, but not so much.

Of course, another reason for going too far is that Zhu Yuan himself can not modestly say that he is capable enough to hold this series of official positions, and in the past half a year, he has proved all this with actual results.

And then there's now.

His own ancestor was a "no-brainer" in terms of his loved ones, so Zhu Yuan could only let himself know as much as possible.

Let's just say that the current examiner, no matter what, at least can't do it himself.

Determined to write back later to talk about the matter, Zhu Yuan continued to read the letter.

Then there is another thing, which is personnel arrangement.

In the last letter, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to mention to Lao Zhu, such as the candidate for the next Yinghai envoy, as well as some personnel related to the existing Yinghai Division.

Zhu Yuan wants to step down.

This is also the result of a recent quiet reflection.

To return some, and then to retreat.

Anyway, the framework of the Yinghai Division has been basically completed, and if you change someone, as long as you don't mess around, the results will be certain. Even, even if it is messed around, after all, it is not without a chance to make up for it.

All Zhu Yuan thought about was to retreat by himself.

Speaking of which, back to this era, except for the initial period of time, for the sake of the "Book of Heaven", in order to get the recognition of Lao Zhu, Zhu Yuan can be said to rack his brains.

Lao Zhu read "Book from Heaven" in advance, the matter was revealed, and he passed the biggest threshold after the crossing, if it wasn't for the business of the ocean that followed, Zhu Yuan would almost be confused.

And then what?

As a human being in two lives, I have already experienced what I should have experienced and enjoyed, and I have no regrets, so I don't have too many thoughts.

[In view of the general environment,

As for the achievements of the traditional traversers, changing history, even if they have no ambition to live in seclusion and farming, and occasionally pretend to be a master outside the world, Zhu Yuan has never thought about it.

Didn't think about anything.

To a large extent, this is due to the influence of Zhu Yuan's personal worldview, outlook on life, and values formed in his previous life.

Zhu Yuan has always liked the poem of Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty, especially the sentence "Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times".

It's all going to be empty.

Zhu Yuan's character, more than one person around him said in his previous life, it is better to hear, it is called thorough, and if it is not good, it is called cool and thin.

If it weren't for this crossing experience, as a successful person in the secular sense, Zhu Yuan would have followed the original path step by step.

Back to this era, hundreds of years of time and space separation have greatly magnified some of Zhu Yuan's personalities, so much so that he has a coldness in his bones for the people and things around him. It's like the beginning of the beginning, waking up for the first time and instinctively trying to survive, but, on the other hand, if you don't survive, it doesn't really matter.

Now, again, it doesn't matter.

Past

Everything I did for most of the year was just my life experience, pushing myself forward. If you want to retreat at the moment, it is also a choice after the accumulation of experience.

Ah, power.

Zhu Yuan's title, for ordinary street people, I don't know what it is, and I may only think that it is a title, a big official. However, the closer people get to Zhu Yuan, the more they understand what this series of titles represents.

Hold power over somebody's life and death.

Just like the incident before the nap, Zhu Yuan just casually commanded, and the people below could double the things well.

Also, like Lao Zhu's saber that he carried when he came to Mingzhou, it can really kill.

In the past few months, because of Zhu Yuan, directly or indirectly, he knew very well that in fact, many people had died, however, he had never used that saber, but he also knew that no one had ever dared to despise that saber and a certain teenager who could use it.

The feeling of power is very good, but if you indulge in it, it will be sooner or later when you encounter backlash.

Inside the Mingxin Hall.

On the latest letter, the result is that Lao Zhu once again "does not know how to advance or retreat", and the reply he gave was to let Zhu Yuan continue to retain the title of Yinghai Envoy, except for moving the Yamen of Yinghai Division to Jinling, everything else is as usual.

As usual, it is also Zhu Yuan's proposal.

Zhu Yuan roughly said that among the three Lang who followed when he came over, Liu Lian, Yao Feng and Fang Li, the advantages and disadvantages were all pointed out, and the conclusion was that the three of them were not suitable for the time being to dominate the overall situation, and Lao Zhu needed to send another courtier to replace him.

Zhu Yuan is not afraid that the situation of Yinghai Division will be messed up, but if he can not be messed up, of course, it is also the best.

Lao Zhu's answer is, I don't choose!

Dear baby twenty-third grandson, you go on.

All right.

After a little consideration, I won't put this down for the time being.

In addition, what Zhu Yuan wanted to put down was the battalion Haiwei commander who was adapted from Mingzhouwei, as well as the southeast transfer envoy and the southeast inspection envoy.

Lao Zhu only said one sentence about this, and then he would go back and talk about it.

Not only did he not be able to put it down, but he even added one. It is still the third product, and the Navy Governor's Mansion is the Governor's Office.

That is to say, in addition to a bunch of civilian positions, Zhu Yuan's military position has changed from the previous commander of the Haiwei of the Zhengsanpin Battalion to the Governor of the Navy Governor's Office and the commander of the Haiwei Battalion.

This......

Zhu Yuan understood that this was Lao Zhu's desire to allow him to intervene in the affairs of the Navy Governor's Office more comprehensively after returning to Jinling, and the goal was of course to build a more powerful navy.

But...... Ancestor, don't you think this is really a bit too much?
