Chapter 425: The Family Rebellion? On the way back, there was an assassin ambush!
For the families in the north, as well as many officials in the capital, their lives have been quite difficult recently.
The main reason for this is that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is very interested, finally swept and conquered the entire Mobei grassland after destroying the Tatars first and then the Warats, and is ready to return to the court.
And this news, a few days ago, spread throughout the entire Northland, until after the Jingshi Territory, it was suddenly like a Zhenyue boulder, directly suppressing all the undercurrents......
The situation that was almost good suddenly became very unclear.
It also made some people in Jingshi begin to become extremely flustered in their hearts.
After all, the death of the old emperor Zhu Di is quite inappropriate, and it must not be verified, otherwise, with the decisive character of His Royal Highness the Prince, all of them have been beheaded by the whole family, and the nine clans have been connected!
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxian's consistent strong style and his unfriendly attitude towards the family also made many officials very dissatisfied.
Especially after the Confucian scholars stormed the Academy of Literature, Zhu Gaoxian's heavy responsibility for the almost complete humiliation of the Confucian students, as well as the cruel treatment of the generals in the army, also made many people see clearly the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince towards Confucianism, and they were very uneasy.
Among them, the Confucian Northern Sect, known as the head of Confucianism and the heirloom of the saints, is the most active and dissatisfied.
Although the Confucian family experienced wars, it was divided into two sects, one in the north and the south, one in the south and one in the north, each occupying and controlling the world's scholars and scholars, and firmly controlling the right to speak in the Great Ming Shilin.
But they are also out-and-out big landlords, there are countless fields in the house, lending money, business is everything, and the tenants under their hands are countless, all over the Ming Dynasty, they are invisible big landlords and rich people in the real sense, and even the local government, even in the war years, is polite to the Confucian family.
And with Zhu Gaoxian's previous attitude, coupled with his series of practices in the south of the Ming Dynasty, all the big families can see clearly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very unfriendly attitude towards them, or big landlords and big families!
It can even be called quite bad!
This makes them very unhappy.
How? When your grandfather rebelled against the Yuan, he still had to rely on our people to fund and help, otherwise how could he so easily drive away the Mongols, seize this rich world, and stabilize the Central Plains?
As a result, it has only been a few decades since you arrived, and you have not even ascended the throne before you begin to think about being cruel to us?
Is this worth it?
In particular, Zhu Gaoxian founded the Academy of Literature, which clearly taught and supported those poor students who had no foundation, and opened the door to their careers, which deeply offended many Ming officials.
Although Daming said that there are scientific scholars, but it still depends more on family relations and interest backgrounds, and in this regard, the family has a congenital advantage, even if Zhu Yuanzhang claims to start with a broken bowl and laid down this huge country, he can only pinch his nose and appoint these officials with background.
Even those founding fathers were born in big families, even if they experienced Zhu Yuanzhang's many blows and vigorously supported the imperial examination, they did not play a good role in curbing it, but when it came to Zhu Di's generation, due to the reason of the Jingnan, these big families took the opportunity to get more power and status in the court.
As for what to say about the Ming Dynasty, "the imperial power does not go to the countryside" is a vivid portrayal......
If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxian's extremely high prestige in the army, his own strength is also very strong, and Zhu Di has always supported him because of the simulator, his East Palace would have been unpeaceful for a long time!
It is precisely because of this that the families are very dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxian, who founded the Academy of Literature and suppressed them, and after experiencing the rebellion and suppression of Confucian scholars in various parts of the south, this dissatisfaction and anger have become more and more intense.
And at this critical juncture, the old emperor was seriously ill, and the Tatars and Warat took the opportunity to collude with them to invade, Zhu Gaoxian not only did not stay in Beijing to stabilize the situation, but ran out lightly to personally lead the troops to expedition to Mobei.
This almost made the family and many officials laugh behind their backs.
In their opinion, with the strength of the Tatar and Warat soldiers, Zhu Gaoxian must have gone and never returned this time, and it may be difficult to keep a whole corpse.
In this case, they began to secretly play ghosts, wanting to do something in Jingshi first.
However, as the good news from the front kept coming, even the entire Tatar country was almost wiped out by Zhu Gaoxian, which suddenly made many people panic and feel extremely uneasy.
If Zhu Gaoxian really swept the entire grassland and the class returned to the dynasty, would they still have a way to live in the future?
Therefore, under the secret leadership of the Confucian family's Northern Sect, many family members and court officials secretly exerted their efforts to buy and coerce some imperial doctors, and directly tried to kill the old emperor who was already seriously ill and unconscious!
Then they took the opportunity to make trouble, and Yang Rong, the first assistant of the cabinet who stayed in Beijing, and Xia Laoshangshu, who firmly supported Zhu Gaoxian, were so anxious that they had no time to take care of anything else, and prepared to cut off Zhu Gaoxian's logistics and grain and grass, so that he and the three major battalions all died on the grassland outside the Saiwai.
As for who will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
Isn't that simple, your old Zhu family is not the only one choice, and the rest of the princes, or other clans, are not impossible!
And just after these people were in full swing and launched a conspiracy, they were shocked to get the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, after destroying the Tatars, captured the entire territory of Warat, and almost completely conquered the entire Mobei grassland!
Right now, I am preparing to return to the court and return triumphantly!
This shocking news of victory immediately shocked all those sneaky and intriguing guys!
And after they finally reacted, Zhu Gaoxian naturally encountered a wave of ferocious assassinations on the way back to his teacher!
"Oh?"
"It's all dead soldiers, and they haven't caught a single one alive?"
Zhu Gaoxian sat in the tent and listened to the reports of the people below with an expressionless face.
"In other words, these bastards pretended to be grateful, beat gongs and drums, killed cattle and sheep, just to want to blend into the army, create chaos, and then slaughter me, the prince of Daming, with one sword?"
specially came to greet Zhu Gaoxian, but he met Shen Qingyu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in such a bad situation, and after hearing Zhu Gaoxian's words, his whole body was about to go numb.
The assassin made such a big move that he almost really injured his own highness, but he couldn't catch a single one alive......
Shen Qingyu felt very helpless about this, this group of assassins can be regarded as making themselves miserable! (End of chapter)
