Chapter 304: Zhu Di: Don't force me to kneel down and beg you
[Whether it is Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, in the final analysis, they are very typical idealists. γ
[For idealists, their biggest flaw is their own ideals. Zhang Fu's ideal is the southwest, and Mu Sheng's ideal is commitment. γ
[Idealists are not terrible, what is terrible is rational and pragmatic idealists, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng belong to the pragmatic school. γ
[For them, their ideals are very important, but they are not blinded by ideals, but care about reality, if there is no reality, all ideals are empty talk. γ
[You spent ten years convincing Zhang Fu, for Zhang Fu, it doesn't matter who the emperor is, just the main surname is Zhu. γ
[What's more, whether Emperor Yongle can come back alive from Mobei is a question. If he followed King Qi to create a prince or a rebellion against the King of Han, there would be no psychological burden on him. γ
[And you also promised Zhang Fu, if you invade Beijing, you will promise to let Zhang Fu guard Annan for generations like the Mu family in Yunnan. γ
[Although Zhang Fu was convinced, how to convince Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, became another problem. γ
[It took you ten years to convince Zhang Fu, but you don't have ten years to convince Mu Sheng, and it is much more difficult to convince Mu Sheng than Zhang Fu. γ
[The condition you gave Zhang Fu was to seal Annan to the Zhang family, but what about Mu Sheng? The Mu family already has Yunnan, and there is no seal. γ
But for you, it's not a problem. γ
Zhu Di's eyes widened, he found out in the previous simulation that the Qianguo Mansion and King Qi hooked up together, but how did this hook up?
It is said that the Mu family has been loyal to the Zhu family for generations, but this statement is actually not accurate.
The Mu family is just loyal to their grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.
They loyally obeyed the orders issued by Zhu Yuanzhang before his death, and guarded Yunnan for generations, they were not guarding Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty, nor guarding Yunnan for the Zhu family, but guarding Yunnan for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Mu family guarded Yunnan for Zhu Yuanzhang for nearly three hundred years, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family is still obsessed with this belief, the last generation of Qianguo Duke Mu Tianbo followed the Southern Ming Yongli Emperor into Burma, surrounded by three thousand Burmese soldiers in the curse of water, snatched the sword and died of exhaustion, and Mu Tianbo was killed at the same time, as well as his youngest son Mu Zhongliang with him.
Since the first generation of Mu Ying, the king of Qianning, the Mu family has kept their promise to Zhu Yuanzhang for generations, and has never had evil thoughts.
So how did Zhu Gaoxian persuade Mu Sheng to let the Qianguo Mansion rebel with him?
[You borrowed Zhang Fu's channel to write a secret letter to Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo. γ
[The letter said: "In the city of Haozhou, an eight-year-old beggar, I can't bear to go to the end of the world, and I am accepted as a righteous son. With my expedition, I worked tirelessly, only took central Yunnan, and promoted the southwest, and died of illness in the prime of life, and my heart was very painful. The big star fell southwest overnight, who will share the worries of the saint? The heart is to the nine springs, the sun and the moon, and the name is famous for the ages. The Mu family is in the town, I have no worries about the southwest, and now I want you to inherit it from my father and brother, and Yongzhen to the southwest, so I share my worries. βγ
Zhu Di felt a little weird, and this tone seemed to be like ...... Say it in Lao Zhu's tone?!
King Qi is afraid that he doesn't have that serious illness, what is your grandfather doing?
[Mu Sheng was shocked when he received the letter, he hurriedly took out another letter, compared with the letter sent by King Qi, one new and one old, the handwriting was different, but the content was exactly the same. γ
[The old letter was written to Mu Sheng before the death of the great grandfather, at that time Mu Sheng had just taken over the inheritance of his father and brother and was given the title of Xiping, but Emperor Hongwu was about to die. The content of this letter is known to only three people, one is the great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang who wrote the letter, the other is Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of Jianwen, and the other is Mu Sheng himself. γ
[When Grandpa Tai died, King Qi was still a little kid, and it was impossible to have any connection with King Qi, and Mu Sheng himself had never interacted with King Qi, so there was only one possibilityββ]
[King Qi is implicated with the missing Emperor Jianwen! ] γ
[Even, it is very likely that King Qi knows the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen! ] γ
Zhu Di's tiger body was shocked, raised his head and shouted: "Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng!" β
"Spread the fourth child to see me!"
"Quick! Fast! Tang Cheng, where the are you dead! β
Where is he still in the mood to watch any simulations now, he just wants to find Zhu Gaoxian and ask Jianwen's whereabouts!
This is also the first time that the old man has been so out of shape, when he simulated before, even if it was the simulation of Yingzong being captured by Wara, or Chongzhen hanging the coal mountain, he never interrupted the simulation.
But this time it was different, he really panicked.
Emperor Jianwen is his biggest knot, and since he ascended the throne, he has been thinking about the missing Emperor Jianwen.
As for the corpses that were burned to the ground in the Qianqing Palace?
Zhu Di didn't believe that it was the corpse of Jianwen's family at all!
He was sure that Jianwen must still be alive, hiding in a place he couldn't see, this had become his inner demon, if he couldn't find Jianwen, even if he died, it would be difficult to look away!
Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Gaoxian, how did these two people get involved?
β¦β¦
Xiangshan, Zhu Gaoxian frowned slightly: "The old man is looking for me?" β
Tang Cheng nodded: "Yes, it's urgent." β
Zhu Gaoxian was a little embarrassed: "Can it be delayed, I have an urgent matter at hand now, the waiter of the Criminal Department died in Xiangshan, I will arrange this case and then go to face the saint, how about it?" β
He just played a big game in Xiangshan, and at this time it was the time to settle down, and he was really weak and had no time to deal with the old man.
But Tang Cheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty means that you will be seen immediately, and you can't delay it." β
Zhu Gaoxian was a little helpless: "Okay, then I'll go to the Qianqing Palace now." β
β¦β¦
When they arrived in the Qianqing Palace, he and the old man stared at each other, and no one refused to speak first.
Zhu Gaoxian wondered, the old man came over in such a hurry, but he didn't say anything, this is really not like the other party's fast and fiery character.
After a long time, Zhu Di asked with a gloomy face, "Where did you hide Jianwen?" β
A big question mark appeared on Zhu Gaoxian's head.
What's that?
Jianwen?
Emperor Jianwen has a half-dime relationship with me!
How do I know where he's hiding!
β¦β¦
In the world in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned: "What's the matter, do you know where this kid Yun Wei is?" β
Zhu Gaoxian held his forehead: "I know a hammer, I was only over ten years old when Emperor Jianwen disappeared, and I was not implicated at all." My father mobilized the strength of the country, and sent Zheng He to the West to search for it, and secretly ordered Hu Hu to secretly visit Emperor Jianwen in the matter, but he didn't find Emperor Jianwen, can I find it? β
Hu Hui, the second class was born as a jinshi, and was first given the military department to the matter, and after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was promoted to the household department to give the matter.
But this official is not promoted in vain, Hu Hu wants to secretly visit the people for Zhu Di to find the traces of Emperor Jianwen, this is a long process, no one knows where Emperor Jianwen wen, maybe he really cut his hair for the monk to find a place to drill into the Buddha to practice, or it may really be dead, but Hu Hu can only find it hard.
His footprints have traveled to every inch of the Ming Dynasty, during which his mother died, Hu Hu wanted to go home to mourn, but Zhu Di was not allowed, in order to compensate, he was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites in return.
Zhu Di spent so much manpower and material resources and failed to find the traces of Emperor Jianwen, how could Zhu Gaoxian know!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little suspicious: "Good grandson, grandpa is old and useless, don't fool grandpa." β
Zhu Gaoxian was a little tired: "Grandpa, do you think your grandson will lie to you?" β
Zhu Yuanzhang still had doubts in his heart: "No wind and no waves, if you really have nothing to do with Jianwen's child, how can the fourth child doubt you?" No, listening to his tone, it seems that it is not just as simple as doubting you, but more like there is some conclusive evidence. β
Zhu Gaoxian almost collapsed: "I'm so curious, which dog's tongue is framing me, the key is that the old man really believes it!" β
β¦β¦
Zhu Gaoxian sighed and said, "Dad, I'll be honest, Jianwen really has nothing to do with me, think about it, how old I was when you entered Nanjing?" At that time, I was a county king with no honor and no real power, so you shouldn't doubt me! β
The old man shook his head: "Impossible, I also have a showdown with you, I already have solid evidence that you hooked up with Jianwen." But don't worry, even if you collude with Jianwen, I won't blame you, you just need to hand over Jianwen to me. β
Zhu Gaoxian: ......
Where the can I find a Jianwen and give it to you?
Let the King of Chongyang in Chengdu Shu Wangfu wear a dragon robe again?
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Boy, don't be confused with your father and me, I have already told you, as long as you hand over Jianwen to me, I can not blame the past, otherwise I will ......"
Zhu Gaoxian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Otherwise, what about abolishing the position of the prince of Erchen?" β
His temper has also come up, okay, you Zhu Di old man, for no reason to put a hat on him for colluding with Jianwen, really if he is a casual clay man?
His patience is also limited, the old man asked him to hand over Jianwen, he didn't know about it at all, what a fart!
Now that the old man still used a threatening tone, Zhu Gaoxian was also a little dissatisfied.
What, you're going to fight with me?
Okay, let's see who can fight whom, and if you want to break the net with me, see if it's me who dies first, or if you break the net first!
Zhu Di was embarrassed, and he suddenly found that he really didn't seem to have the means to threaten Zhu Gaoxian.
An important member of the Manchu Dynasty, more than half of whom served in the East Palace.
This is all the result of Zhu Di's own indulgence.
The chief officials of the six departments and nine secretaries of one cabinet and two courts, seventy percent are loyal to the East Palace, and they are constantly spreading branches and leaves between the government and the opposition, and the three provinces of Liaodong, Jianzhou, and Goryeo in the northeast will move officials to various places every year, and most of the officials from the three northeastern provinces are the backbone of the East Palace.
Although Zhu Di still holds the Beijing camp and the forbidden army composed of the upper twelve guards in his hands, he has empty military power and is unpopular, and he and Zhu Gaoxian fought to the end, but they were only defeated.
It is true that he was able to capture Zhu Gaoxian in the Beijing Division, but the consequence was that all the important members of the six ministries, one cabinet, two courts, nine kings and two courts would strike, and the center of the entire empire would stagnate, and even there would be mutinies in the two major military towns in the northeast and northwest, so as to force Zhu Di to release him.
In the end, it is not good to say who will die first Zhu Di or Zhu Gaoxian, anyway, Daming should not be able to bear it first.
This is also the reason why "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", if these two tigers can live in peace, it is fine, but if they have a disagreement, the entire mountain forest will be swallowed by the flames of war.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, and blue tendons erupted on his head.
Zhu Gaoxian's eyes were cold, and he was not afraid of the emperor's majesty.
Both of them have reached their peak, like a fierce confrontation between a tsunami and a mountain, and the temperature of the air has dropped suddenly, as if time has stood still.
Just when Zhu Gaoxian thought that the old man was going to go crazy, Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said threateningly: "Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!" β
Zhu Gaoxian: "??? β
β¦β¦
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the geese fly south.
Looking forward, a green hill meanders, on the edge of the blue wave and secluded pool, the strange rocks are grandiose, the monk bends down and holds a pinch of water with both hands, and after taking a sip, he relieves the fatigue of the long journey.
He looked at the figure in the water and said leisurely: "The moon dies today and falls into the well. β
"Your Majesty."
There was a shadow attendant wearing Xuan armor and covered with evil ghosts and iron faces, bowed down and said, "Hu Hu sent by King Yan has already followed the trail to find us here, this person is really difficult, he can catch up all the way with ethereal clues, it is really a big trouble, do you need a minister to let this person 'accidentally die'?" β
The senior monk waved his hand and said, "This Hu Hu is also a wonderful person, he has been looking for poor monks for more than ten years, and his perseverance is commendable." You, you, the murderous aura in your body is too heavy, if you can cultivate more good fruits, you can offset the karma. β
The Shadow Squire hesitated and asked, "Then what should we do?" β
"When disaster comes, avoid it."
The monk got up and walked along the stone path in the direction of the sun, and said in a calm voice, "We just go forward, and we don't care about what is behind us." β
"To walk is to seek the way."
"This endless road is the rarest truth in the world."
β¦β¦
"yes, I'm supposed to find him, no...... What is this, damn it, what the hell is wrong? β
Between the mountains and fields, the men were dressed in sloppy clothes, and the long beards and hair that had not been built for a long time were messy like chicken coops, greasy and dirty, and the hair was mixed with bamboo leaves and insects and ants.
His eyes were like a pair of rat eyes, looking around, grabbing a mustard in his hand before chewing it in his mouth, as if tasting the taste of weeds:
"That's right, Jianwen must have appeared here, and the time should be in ...... Within three months? β
He smacked his thigh, "Damn, it's a step too late!" β
It's hard to think that this sloppy man who looks worse than a beggar is Hu Hu, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Although he is said to be a false title, he is also a member of the third grade, if he goes to the yamen of any province, even if he is the head of a province, he must be respectful to him.
Because, he is a chincha.
Hu Hu was ordered by the emperor to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, an errand he had done for more than ten years, and with almost no clues, he had to get close to Emperor Jianwen's traces several times, all thanks to one of his ridiculous talents:
- Intuition.
He could pinpoint where someone was going just by chewing on the weeds they had stepped on months ago, and that ghostly instinct allowed him to always determine where to go next.
However, he chased for more than ten years, but after all, he still failed to catch up with Emperor Jianwen.
Hu Hu concluded that by Emperor Jianwen's side, there must be a mysterious and elite army that is helping Emperor Jianwen sweep away the traces!
