Zhu Xiongying, who returned to the small courtyard on the bank of the Qinhuai River, finally came to his senses completely.

It turned out that the body that he crossed over was Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor who died ten years ago, and ten years later, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came to the door and just took him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

He is the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty and will also be the heir of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

He used to think about making money, and wanted to change the times by using money to expand his influence.

But he doesn't need it now.

Because the whole world will be his!

From this moment on, his life plan has changed, he wants the throne, he wants to create a peerless Daming!

Daming, how many people have eternal love and pain in their hearts!

Love its Ming elegance, love its iron bones, hurt its ill-fated fate, and hurt its sad ending.

However, this is no longer the case!

"The great Ming Dynasty, the unparalleled in the world, the Ming Dynasty, the eternal immortality, the light shines, all for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xiongying muttered to himself, his eyes full of confidence......

……

And at this time, in the Forbidden City.

It seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

Between the dark red palace walls, the palace people with gagged mouths looked terrified, not knowing where they were going to be taken by the brocade guards behind them......

The pro-army of Jinyi commanded the envoys.

Jiang Zhen personally sat down.

The palace people who were brought in were all terrified, many of them were already incontinent, and just the three words of Jinyiwei made them shudder.

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, how many ministers and nobles have died in the hands of Jinyiwei.

What's more, it's their little palace people?

I'm afraid it's difficult to go out from the Jinyi Guard's command envoy, and even if you can go out, you have to take off a layer of skin.

Here, there are no secrets that can be kept.

Inside the interrogation room.

The fire in the brazier danced silently, reflecting the house that had no windows.

It was here that Zhou Ji was skinned.

As soon as you enter this room, the eerie aura makes people shudder.

There was a creepy scream from inside the house.

Most of the palace people already knew everything before they were tortured, and they had no end to it.

Only a small number of palace people with unclean buttocks tried to hide something, but soon they knew what it meant to be better to live than to die......

Wuying Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still taking advantage of this spare time to review the folds.

If it weren't for such an incident in the palace, he wanted to leave his eldest grandson behind and teach him how to review the folds.

Just like when he taught Zhu Biao.

However, the rumors in the palace made him have to change his plan because of this.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart rise more and more.

His grandson Zhu Yunxi has just emerged, and someone began to arrange him, it seems that there are ghosts hidden in the shadows of this palace!

didn't let him wait too long, Jiang Zhen came to his life.

"Your Majesty, there are already some eyebrows."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fold and said lightly: "Say." ”

Jiang Zhen hurriedly replied: "According to Your Majesty's orders, I pry open the mouths of those two cheap maids, and then follow the names they said, follow the vines and touch the melons, and catch them one by one, and finally arrest more than 200 people." ”

"The final source actually pointed to a dead man."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened quietly, as if this did not surprise him.

Jiang Zhen didn't dare to slack off, and continued: "The dead palace maid, the lowly position has also been investigated, and she is the steward of the Huanyi Bureau. ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard this.

He didn't seem too surprised by the result.

Since the crown prince left, many people have been staring at that position, in addition to a few princes, there is also a concubine Zhu Yunwen.

In fact, from the beginning, his impression of Zhu Yunwen was still good.

Because when the prince left, Zhu Yunwen cried the most, because of filial piety, the whole person went around, and he also ate fasting and chanted Buddha, and copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for his father.

But in retrospect, it seems like everything has changed a little bit.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke: "Eliminate all the people who have passed on those words, said those words, and heard those words." ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Zheng respectfully surrendered his hand to the order.

Obviously, he also guessed that this would be the outcome.

"As for the East Palace, let's take care of it ourselves, you can go down."

Zhu Yuanzhang's faint words made Jiang Xuan's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly surrendered.

After Jiang Zhen retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang gently flicked the candle flame to light up the flame that had already looked a little dim, and muttered to himself: "We haven't killed anyone for a while, and some people began to think that our old eyes were dizzy......"

……

Zhao Mian these days, whenever he has time, he runs to Zhu Xiongying.

Of course, these are all reasons for the development of the salt mine in Zhuqiao Town.

As for Zhuqiao Town, he didn't dare to slack off.

It has been arranged for people to organize excavation-related matters, build sheds, measure land, find mineral sources, etc., and come to report to the emperor as soon as there is a little information.

But the emperor's grandson was lukewarm to him, and he was not able to develop further.

But he didn't give up.

Because this is a great opportunity, when others did not get the information that the emperor grandson is still alive, he got it, as long as he can become his confidant when the emperor is at the end of his life, then he Zhao Mian will definitely make steady progress in the future and make further progress.

And he can also get out of the shadow of Liu Sanwu and become an independent existence, and it is not impossible to leave a name in history.

Thinking about it, Zhao Mian was excited.

On this day, he prepared some long-cherished tea leaves and wanted to visit Zhu Xiongying.

"Master, who are you going to see when you run out all day?"

Liu Shi stood in front of Zhao Mian, and asked with an angry face: "This Haoding Stone Flower, there are only less than three catties left in our family, aren't you the most expensive on weekdays?" When my father came, you were reluctant to take it out, and now you have taken it out? You move the good things out of the house day by day, saying, are you taking it out to please which vixen? ”

Zhao Mian glanced at Liu with some impatience: "A woman's family, what do you know?" The person I'm going to see, you don't have the right to know, get out of the way! ”

Liu still didn't give up, blocking Zhao Mian: "If you don't tell me who it is, don't think about going out!" ”

Zhao Mian pointed at Liu angrily: "You, you, will spoil my good deeds all day long!" How many times have I told you, be low-key, be restrained, you're good, run to buy Zhucui every day, and show off with your sisters, for fear that others won't know how much stinky money you have at home? I'm afraid that my lord will not be killed by the old emperor Hongwu! ”

"I ...... I ......"

Liu was a little weak-hearted: "How can I buy it once or twice every day, I didn't suffer with you when I married you, besides, if there was no my father, would you have today?" With so much money at home, what's wrong with how much I spend? ”

"You, you!"

Zhao Mian was angry, raised his hand, but in the end he didn't fall, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll make it clear to you, the person I'm going to see today is your father, and he can't afford to climb high, now I can have a relationship with him, that's God taking care of me, he wants to be able to accept my tea, that's my honor!" ”

Zhao Mian said that, strode out of the door, leaving the stunned Liu ......

A small courtyard on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

When Zhao Mian came here, he saw a person who shocked him.

"The Emperor...... Huang Ye! ”

Zhao Mian's legs were weak, and he almost knelt down.

But of course he knows that the identity of the emperor's grandson has not been exposed yet, and if he exposes the identity of the emperor, he will definitely make the emperor unhappy.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, and he smiled: "Zhao Shangshu, sit down." ”

The corners of Zhao Mian's mouth twitched slightly, and he was sitting in danger, but he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he came to the right place this time, and he did it right.

"What are you looking for our eldest grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and asked Zhao Mian.

Zhao Mian hurriedly replied: "I came to find Huang Gongzi to talk about the salt mine. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a curious look and asked, "How is it over there now?" ”

Zhao Mian Zhengse replied: "Now I have asked people to block up there, according to the discussion with Huang Gongzi, I have recruited a lot of poor people in the local area, and many displaced people here in the capital have also been guided over, rushing to work day and night, and digging in shifts, and the results should be produced soon!" ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, our eldest grandson has a method of refining refined salt, and you can ask the Salt Transportation Division to send someone over and learn this method back!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Mian agreed, and then showed a look of surprise: "Those refined salts from the Salt Transportation Division...... It's all made by Huang Gongzi? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the box that Zhao Mian was holding before entering the door.

"What's that?"

Zhao Mian smiled and said: "This is a little specialty tea from my hometown, which is not precious, but after drinking it to refresh my mind, I hope Huang Gongzi will not dislike it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first, we have something to say to our eldest grandson." ”

"Good! Emperor, Huang Gongzi, then I will leave first! ”

Zhao Mian stood up as he spoke, and quietly put the box he brought on the desk beside him.

After Zhao Mian left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, who had not spoken, and said, "Eldest grandson, it seems that this Zhao Mian already knows your identity." ”

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "This person is quite good at drilling." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said meaningfully: "Look, we haven't announced your identity yet, and some people are starting to want to cling, and you will know in the future, this is a university question!" ”

"If you use it well, he can do things for you, and once you use it, he will also bring you endless trouble." As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with tiger eyes, "Do you know why we want to kill Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong?" ”

Zhu Xiongying replied without thinking: "Because Li and Hu formed a party for personal gain and excluded dissidents, Li Shanchang himself was not upright, obsessed with power tricks, cultivated cronies, controlled the government, and had his own place to die. even supported Hu Weiyong as the successor, blatantly manipulated Hu Weiyong to control the government, undermined the fairness of the imperial examination, and the fairness of the promotion of officials, they should be killed! ”

"Yes, eldest grandson, you are right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "But there is one more point, eldest grandson, you didn't say it." ”

Zhu Xiongying was stunned.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "Let's kill them, in addition to eliminating the hidden danger of party strife, we also want to kill chickens and monkeys, we want them to be afraid of us, we want them to know that they are our courtiers, we can give them favors, and we can also take them back!" ”

"As the emperor, we are the leaders of the world, and the ministers are the ministers who help the emperor, but the emperor is not the emperor of the ministers, but the emperor of the world, and the emperor of the people of the world!"

"Therefore, as the emperor, you must not let these ministers be bewitched and restrained, you must have your own thinking, if you think it is right, resolutely implement it, we don't need to convince them, we just need them to implement it!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded solemnly: "My grandson has been taught!" ”

The old man said well, the imperial power is the imperial power, and no one is allowed to provoke it.

No matter what era it is, once there are powerful ministers, there will never be anything good.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the serious Zhu Xiongying, and was happy, stinky boy, this not arrogant or impatient energy, follow us.

He knew that his eldest grandson was by no means a king.

It can be seen from his strategy against the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kou, he is extremely aggressive, very pioneering, and all the strategies he proposed before are extremely bold, so after his eldest grandson ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely face the obstruction of his courtiers.

Therefore, he wanted to hand over the experience he had accumulated in his more than 20 years as an emperor to his eldest grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "We estimate that there is still some time, you will follow us during this time, and we will teach you how to be an emperor!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying's heart was shocked, and he nodded hurriedly: "Grandson listens to the teachings of the imperial grandfather!" ”

The meaning in these words is very obvious, in the old man's heart, he has been cultivated as a crown prince.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and was very satisfied.

His expectations for his eldest grandson are high!

The former crown prince Zhu Biao was benevolent and generous by nature, and if he succeeded to the throne, he would be a benevolent monarch who guarded the peace.

In the past, when the prince was here, he was responsible for killing people.

Why?

Because he wants the prince to become a benevolent monarch with peace of mind!

But now his eldest grandson is different.

His eldest grandson is like him!

His eldest grandson will not be a Taiping Emperor, and he does not want his eldest grandson to be a Taiping Emperor.

Therefore, his expectations for his eldest grandson will not be like that of the late prince.

Thinking of this, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even stronger, and he said, "Let's go, follow us into the palace, and we'll teach you to review the recital!" ”
