Chapter 186: Nightmare
Zhu Song replied: "Brother Huang, the courtiers think that we must move the capital now, although Yingtian is also quite meteorological, but after all, it is only a corner of the place, if we can't make a quick response to the war in the north, it is difficult to guarantee that our descendants will not have people who can fight well to defend the peace of the northern frontier, if there is, it doesn't matter, but if not, will our Ming Dynasty be like the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, guarding the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
"So we have to move the capital, there are those who support the move of the capital to Chang'an, there are those who support the move of the capital to Luoyang, in my opinion, we don't choose Chang'an and Luoyang, we choose Beiping, and guard the north gate of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor himself will guard it, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will die, isn't this a beautiful talk?"
The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he tasted these two words, he turned his head to look at Zhu Song closely, patted Zhu Song's shoulder, and couldn't help but praise.
"Well said! The Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, throughout the dynasties, is there a more majestic dynasty than my Ming Dynasty? ”
"According to what you said, I have made up my mind, I don't think about Chang'an and Luoyang, and I want to move to Beiping, which is so good!"
"I'm going to write down this sentence, I'm going to frame it and hang it on the wall, so that future generations and grandchildren, and future emperors will keep this sentence firmly in mind!"
"You've done a great job!"
After Zhu Song heard this, he arched his hand decently and said, "Isn't that all taught by the fourth brother?" ”
Zhu Di laughed after hearing this, and patted Zhu Song's shoulder: "You finally called me Fourth Brother, since you took the throne, our brothers have a lot of points at once." ”
"Since you called me Fourth Brother, I also want to ask you to do something for me."
As if guessing Zhu Di's thoughts, Zhu Song looked up at Zhu Di.
"But what about money?"
Zhu Di nodded: "It's a matter of money, the salt tax of the two Zhejiang and Huai can't come up, and the officials of the two Zhejiang and Huai must have secretly hidden a lot, when the world was in chaos, they wanted to hide some money for themselves, and I didn't pursue them, but now that the new dynasty has been established and the country has been stable, they haven't handed over the money, that's a thing." ”
"After Qitai Huang Zicheng was captured, Jinyiwei still had to thoroughly investigate the ministers who ran out before we entered the city, those old ministers who were loyal to Jianwen, I have already liquidated with them, but there are still many old ministers' families who have escaped."
"Find them, get them back! If they don't get them back, we won't be able to live a solid life, and we won't be able to sleep well. ”
Zhu Song arched his hand.
"Obey the order!"
……
After Zhu Song left the palace, Zhu Di returned to the imperial study alone to watch the twists and turns of Jianwen's review in recent years.
The more Zhu Di looks at it, the more angry he becomes, and if he can't collect the money, what should he do if the courtiers still become the emperor's lord?
Half of the officials who came up from the filial piety inspection were two talents, none of them had fame, and they didn't recognize all the words.
Zhu Di couldn't help but think of the time when the incident happened, Fang Xiaoru's draft essay on the thief was called a good one, Zhu Di felt that it was both happy and bad, the happy thing was that this person's writing was really good, and the bad thing was that this person couldn't use it for himself, and the article he wrote to ask for thieves was still scolding himself.
The fatigue of these years of fighting slowly showed up in Zhu Di's body, and now that the throne is also sitting, it stands to reason that Zhu Di should be relaxed, but Zhu Di's mood is heavy, and for some reason, he always feels unsteady and unstable in his heart.
When sleepiness hit, Zhu Di only felt tired, leaned on the dragon chair, and fell asleep at some point.
Zhu Di had a dream, in which Zhu Di was in the Fengtian Palace, and it was not Jianwen who was sitting on the dragon chair, but his own father, Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Emperor Taizu is not old at the moment, Emperor Taizu looks very young and energetic at this moment.
And what about Jianwen? Jianwen was sitting at the feet of Emperor Taizu, looking at him with a playful expression.
It's so real, so real that Zhu Di doesn't even realize that he is dreaming.
At this moment, Zhu Di realized that he was kneeling on the ground wearing prison clothes and heavy shackles.
And he was not the only one kneeling on the ground together, but the twenty brothers who knelt next to him were the twenty brothers who had lost their heads, and his body was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and his head was constantly beating on the tray in front of his body.
Zhu Song's mouth kept begging for mercy, this scene made Zhu Di's heart furious, and in the end, he couldn't help but quickly beg for mercy.
"Dad, I was wrong, Dad, I don't want to, I don't want to rebel, I ...... I'm all here to protect myself, Dad, I beg you, I beg you! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, he walked down the dragon chair with a gloomy face, the eunuch next to him respectfully handed over a knife, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out the knife and came to Zhu Di, and slashed it with a knife.
"Ahh
Zhu Di screamed and woke up from his dream, and after waking up, the first thing he did was to touch his neck, his neck was not broken, and his head was still growing on his body.
The door of the imperial study was open, it was raining heavily, there was lightning constantly crossing the thunder, and the roar came, Zhu Di got off the dragon chair, dragged his tired body to the door, and looked at the pouring rain outside.
And how could Zhu Di, as the emperor, not have eunuchs waiting by his side? This eunuch is the eunuch in Zhu Di's mansion, and the eunuch Ma Bao who followed Zhu Di in the southern and northern wars in the Battle of Jingyan.
"Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare? The slave maid asked the imperial doctor to come into the palace to diagnose and treat the emperor! ”
Zhu Di raised his hand to stop him.
"You don't need to call the Imperial Doctor, I'm fine."
Zhu Di said, sitting on the threshold and watching the lights of the palace everywhere.
"Ma Bao, I remember you said you knew how to sail?"
Ma Bao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid do know how to sail, when the slave and maid were young, they went to sea with their uncles and elders several times, and the knowledge of sailing, the slave and maid all remember." ”
Zhu Di nodded.
The dream just now made him tremble, he always felt that Jianwen was not dead, he should have run out, otherwise what to say about the secret passage behind the imperial study, he must have escaped from that secret passage, but where did he flee?
This is Yingtian, and now that Daming has fallen into his hands, Zhu Di thought about it, put himself in his shoes, if he was Jianwen, he would never hide in the land of Daming, then he would probably leave Daming.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt that he should send a team of men and horses to the sea to find Jianwen's traces, as long as he found him and killed him completely, then he could rest assured.
