Before entering the summer, the weather in the land of Yanyun is already quite domineering.

The north wind is howling, rolling the wild sand and white grass, like a great general galloping on a horse, and a golden iron horse behind him. If the spring in the south is the watery and tender Jiangnan painting boat Miao Ling family, then the spring in the north is the sleeping axe waking up on the eve of midsummer.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at the towering Beiping City in front of him, the city wall was mottled, but he could still see the eternal majesty, and sighed: "I'm home." ”

……

Zhu Di lived a very nourishing life in Shuntian Mansion.

Lost all the government affairs to Zhu Gaoxian, and ran to Shuntian alone to enjoy Qingfu, without a case, Lao Zhu felt that he was ten years younger.

If he has nothing to do, he drinks tea, yo-yos birds, and rides horses to hunt in the mountains outside Beiping City, but when he heard that his crown prince was also coming to Shuntianfu with a large number of ministers, the emperor hesitated.

If these plague gods also came to Shuntianfu, would I still be as leisurely as I am now?

Zhu Di felt that he had incarnated into a "Ming Pendulum Sect", and he just wanted to lie flat and rot.

This year's things can be postponed, and if you're lucky, you won't have to do it tomorrow when you die.

As for what to do without the emperor Daming?

There's nothing to say, isn't there still a prince there anyway?

However, when people come, they can't always turn them away, although he has now entrusted the power of the empire to the crown prince, but he is still the emperor of the Ming Empire after all.

……

After Zhu Gaoxian saw Zhu Di, he rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had recognized the wrong person.

Why is this old man still living younger and younger!

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by this look?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said dryly: "I haven't seen you for a few months, but my father's demeanor is still the same, as if he is full of vitality." ”

"Haha."

Zhu Di chuckled lightly and sighed, "Thirty merits and fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, in my life, not to mention thirty merits, eight thousand miles of road, thinking about the past, riding horses on the Northern Expedition, what a heroic posture, going into battle to kill the enemy and fighting bloodily, with inexhaustible strength." Now, I can't even eat two steamed buns in one meal, and I'm still old after all. ”

"My father is still in the prime of life, why do you say this?"

"Don't comfort me, I know how much time I have left."

Zhu Di waved his hand, "I have at most seven or eight years left, but it's just a white horse, and the kung fu will pass in a flash." A person like me, who has borne heinous sins, is already lucky to have lived to this age, and he has long since lost his lust for the world. ”

"Daming is not a one-man empire, I heard about your tax change, I am very relieved, Daming is entrusted to you, I am relieved, you can do it with confidence, I will support you behind my back."

The establishment of such an institution as the Tax Supervision Yuan, which is comparable to the six ministries, even with the authority that Zhu Gaoxian now holds, does not dare to act rashly, Daming is not his hall, and he still has an emperor Lao Tzu on his head.

If it weren't for Zhu Di's acquiescence, the Tax Supervision Institute would not have been able to set up a platform at all, and an institution involved thousands of officials and tens of thousands of elite border troops.

But from beginning to end, Zhu Di did not oppose Zhu Gaoxian's policy.

He chose Zhu Gaoxian as the crown prince at this time, and he was ready to entrust the empire to the other party, which was enough to show his trust in Zhu Gaoxian.

What's more, the old man doesn't have time either.

He doesn't have time to train a new heir, and in just seven years, is it possible that he has to have another prince? If you don't trust Zhu Gaoxian, you can only support Zhu Gaochi to take the throne again, but if you are so scrapped and re-established, doesn't it mean that Zhu Di has eyes and no beads and made a mistake?

What will future generations say about him Yongle Emperor?

Zhu Di didn't want to lose his life in the last few years, and his reputation would be ruined.

Zhu Di, who is nearly sixty years old, has no chance of making mistakes in the matter of selecting the first heir to the throne of the empire.

And Zhu Gaoxian, the new prince, did not disappoint Zhu Di, although the tax change was very bold, the new prince did every link well, and the turmoil caused by it was quickly quelled.

In just one month, the Tax Inspectorate collected 97 million taels of silver from the southern provinces.

Nine seven million taels!

Zhu Di almost died on the spot with excitement after seeing this number at that time!

He, the Ming Dynasty, finally got rid of the nickname of "Poor Dynasty"!

Now Zhu Di can completely believe in himself, and he can also completely believe in Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Gaoxian, the founder of the prosperous era of Hengjing, reigned for thirty years and pushed the Ming Empire to an unprecedented height!

Thinking that the Ming Dynasty had a new knife bearer, Zhu Di sighed in his heart that he could finally rest assured.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zhu Gaoxian observed the subtle fluctuations on the old man's face, and he couldn't figure out the old man's thoughts in his heart.

Zhu Di's face did not change: "I am thinking, after the Ming Dynasty, you will be in charge of the overall situation, and I can also retire with peace of mind, and after a lifetime of fighting, I can finally enjoy comfort." ”

Oh no, how did I say what was in my heart!

Zhu Gaoxian was silent for a while, laughed dryly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

I want to mess with it too!

But the strength doesn't allow it!

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Zhu Di changed the topic and said: "The third child, you can go for a trip, you brothers haven't met again for many years, he should miss you a lot." ”

Zhu Gaoxian said: "The minister will retire first." ”

……

Zhao Wangfu.

"Aha, fourth, I look forward to the stars and the moon, but I hope for you, it's not easy, we have to drink a pot tonight, don't get drunk and don't return!"

Zhao Wangye went out to greet him warmly, Zhu Gaoxian didn't feel flattered, and said casually: "Third brother, it's been several years of kung fu in a blink of an eye, and my brother misses you." ”

"Okay, okay, it's good that you can still remember the third brother."

King Zhao gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Although I have been at the gate of Beiping City all these years, I have heard about your heroic deeds. Going east out of Liaodong to destroy the two countries, cutting the clan and changing the new tax, the culture and martial arts are all a generation of heroes, and even the second child has been abolished by you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Wangye was a little scared, "No wonder when our brothers were drinking, you told me, let me not follow the second child, and you still hide this hand?" ”

The last time Zhu Gaoxian came to Shuntianfu, he advised King Zhao to stop following King Han, and the only way to go down with King Han was to follow King Han.

At that time, King Zhao was still unconvinced, after all, at that time, the princeling party and the Han Wang party competed against each other, and the king of Han was not a soft persimmon to be manipulated, and the power of his Zhao Wangfu was not as good as the boss, if he didn't join forces with the second child, wouldn't it make the road narrow?

Fortunately, in the end, King Zhao's nature of persuasion attacked, and he still chose to believe in the fourth child, and gradually distanced himself from King Han and finally parted ways.

Where did he think of it, within two years, the Qi Wangfu advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming the biggest dark horse in the battle for the country, and suddenly controlled the court and crushed all the political enemies.

Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince who was regarded as the biggest enemy by King Zhao, was inexplicably deposed as King of Gan and lost his ability to compete. And the king of Han was also defeated at the hands of the fourth child, and became the puppet of the fourth child and the old man, and now he can only do some dirty work.

If King Zhao hadn't listened to the persuasion at that time and stubbornly followed King Han to the end, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the knife now.

After all, King Zhao has already made a mistake, he touched the bottom line of the old man when he assassinated the king, and walked to the edge of the red line, if he took another wrong step here, he would not only be cut off or cut off, but what was waiting for him was to die on the spot.

The old man can forgive him once, but if he still doesn't repent, what kind of living bodhisattva is Emperor Yongle?

When the old ministers of Jianwen were slaughtered, the old man did not blink an eyelid, and tens of thousands of people were brutally killed at every turn.

Zhu Gaoxian smiled: "Third brother, do you know what I admire about you the most?" ”

King Zhao asked with some curiosity: "Which point?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said with emotion: "Third brother, your biggest advantage is to listen to persuasion!" ”

King Zhao laughed: "Haha, no way, I'm just soft-eared, what's more, you are still my brother who has the best relationship with me, who do I listen to if I don't listen to you?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian actually didn't say anything.

The biggest advantage of Zhao Wangye is to listen to persuasion, but the biggest disadvantage is to know and admit mistakes without correcting them.

A person like King Zhao who is good at playing tricks is suspicious by nature, he is very smart, and he is not stubborn when he knows what he is wrong with, and he willingly admits his mistake. But it is precisely because of his suspicion that King Zhao will always doubt this and that, and hesitate at a critical moment.

A person like King Zhao, he can do a lot of things with a small business, but as soon as he encounters a big event, King Zhao has to stumble.

None of Zhu Di's sons are good stubble, and if you insist on which one is the most wasteful, it can only be King Zhao.

It's not that Zhu Gaoxian looks down on King Zhao, it's his third brother's character that determines that this can only be a python, not a dragon.

"That's all said and done, do you mind if the third brother minds if I say a few more unpleasant words?" Zhu Gaoxian asked.

"I'm not outside with your third brother, who are we with whom, if you have something to say, you can say it boldly." King Zhao said with a smile, "Your third brother and I, but I've been waiting for you to mention me a few more words." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll make it clear."

Zhu Gaoxian rubbed his hands and asked, "The third brother's vassal kingdom is in Suncheon, but now that the old man has moved the capital to Shuncheon, it is naturally impossible for you, as a vassal king, to live in Shuncheon for a long time, have you ever thought about choosing another vassal country to become a vassal country?" ”

King Zhao was a little confused, "Even if it is a new domain, the old man will not urge it, no matter what, he will wait until the old man returns to the west, what do I want to do now?" ”

He is the vassal king of the dynasty, although he is not the eldest son of the emperor, he is also the son-in-law. At the beginning, the old man gave his Longxing land Beiping to King Zhao as a vassal state, and now the capital has moved to Beiping, so naturally it can no longer be used as a vassal state of King Zhao.

However, for the sake of the son born to Queen Xu, no matter how you say it, the old man can't pick people up, according to the rules, it should be after the old man dies, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, King Zhao will be allowed to regain the domain.

King Zhao is a native of Beiping, and then he was also in Beiping, so he was naturally reluctant to this land, and he wished that he would die on this land.

King Zhao said with some displeasure: "Fourth, do you think that your brother is an eyesore in Beiping City, and you are thinking about picking up and picking up and driving my brother away?" ”

"Third brother, what are you talking about, just the relationship between the two of us, I can't wait to be buried in the same coffin board with you, how can I catch you?"

Zhu Gaoxian is not an old man, of course it is impossible to say what is in his heart like this.

Actually, King Zhao guessed right, Zhu Gaoxian really didn't want King Zhao to continue to stay in Beiping City.

Although the current King Zhao no longer has any threat to him, most of Zhu Gaoxian's shadows in Beiping City have been taken over from King Zhao's hands after all.

King Zhao left Beiping City, and Zhu Gaoxian could live comfortably.

Beiping City does not allow such awesome people to exist!

But it's good to understand these words in my heart, how bad it is to say them, Zhu Gaoxian said earnestly: "Third brother, if you continue to stay in Beiping City, there are disadvantages but no benefits, and in the current situation, the more you drag you back, the more wronged you will be." How does the imperial court treat the clan now, you also understand that the clan in the future is not as chic as it was in the early years of Yongle, and the belt of this trouser has to be tightened. Why don't you take advantage of the fact that now, take the initiative to apply to the old man for the domain, let the old man think of you well, and take the opportunity to ask the old man for some benefits. ”

King Zhao smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you think the third brother and I look like a person with bad money?" I have been entrenched in Beiping City for so many years, although my wings have been broken, but I have gold and silver. ”

Zhu Gaoxian said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the third brother's vision is so short-sighted, can you see the gold and silver under his eyes?" ”

King Zhao frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said lightly: "Shengshi gold is not as good as dung, this is a bit excessive, but this is what it means." If you want to make gold and silver in the prosperous world, there are methods, what is important, it is land, gold is just a lifetime of wealth, just like rootless duckweed, but if there is land, then it can really be regarded as a blessing for the descendants! ”

King Zhao smiled disdainfully and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy land if I have money, so you can't help but underestimate me, right?" ”

Who is he?

Dignified Zhao Wangye, spend some money to circle the land, isn't it easy to capture?

"Third brother, it's not me scaring you, you really can't buy it."

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "As long as I'm in power, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as I dare to enclose the land, I'll be the first to fucking kill him!" ”

"How is the sect suppressed now, third brother, you can see it clearly, it's just for the silver? What really poisons the court is the enclosure! ”

"I might as well tell you that the key target of the Ming Dynasty's suppression after the Ming Dynasty is the people who enclose the land! I can tolerate them buying some land for the benefit of future generations, but if they want to be greedy and unscrupulous to go crazy to enclose land, whoever dares to do this, I will kill them! ”

"Whether it is a relative of the clan or a gentry of the noble clan, no one can be an exception!"
