Chapter 48: He Can Be a Hero!
Yan Wang Zhu Di.
The name is thunderous!
Even if Su Yang was not interested in history, he understood the preeminent position of the Yongle Emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di single-handedly created the "Yongle Prosperous Era", Wenzhi martial arts comparable to the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, and even later generations of scholars believe that the Yongle Prosperous Era far exceeded the later so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Age", and the Hongwu rule created by Ming Taizu is called the Hongyong Prosperous Era, which is one of the five prosperous times in Chinese history.
Such an emperor can be called an emperor through the ages.
It's just that since Su Yang came to Daming, it is difficult not to disappoint him with the hardships he has experienced and the current situation he has seen.
Disappointed in the Ming court, disappointed in Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen!
But now, because of his words, Zhu Di fell into self-doubt.
Su Yang, the "culprit", naturally can't be left alone.
Meeting the expectant gaze of Monk Daoyan, Su Yang opened his mouth.
"King Yan is heroic, mighty in the sea, and Zhiguang is strong, this is a well-known thing in the world!"
"Since King Yan took the vassal to Beiping, he has been defending the enemy for many years, and he has made outstanding contributions to the country and the people!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Monk Daoyan was a little confused.
Since you still know the outstanding exploits of Yanwang Zhu Di, why did you scold others so badly before?
"But!" Su Yang's words changed, "Meritorious service is meritorious service, it does not mean that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can do whatever he wants if he has meritorious service!" ”
"It is true that the imperial court is determined to cut the feudal domain, and the spearhead is directed at King Yan, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has been forced into a desperate situation by the imperial court!"
"But this is not the reason why he, Zhu Di, can secretly hoard grain and grass, regardless of the life and death of the people!"
Monk Daoyan was shocked when he heard this, and he seemed to understand why his prince had fallen into madness.
He has been friends with King Yan for so many years, and they have introduced each other as confidants and friends, and Monk Daoyan doesn't understand Zhu Di's thoughts.
This Yan Wang Ye has always taken his father, Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, as an example, and is eager to win the recognition of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang through outstanding meritorious service!
But Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose Zhu Di in the end, but chose Zhu Yunwen!
One is Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who has great achievements, and the other is Zhu Yunwen, who is longer than a woman's hand, and their abilities can be seen at a glance!
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made such a choice, no matter what the reason, it is difficult for people to accept!
Especially the parties involved, Yanwang Zhu Di!
It was also from that time that Zhu Di had ambitions!
The former Yan King Zhu Di was a real heroic husband, but after that, Zhu Di, the Yan King, transformed into an ambitious Ming vassal king!
And Su Yang's previous words happened to hit the softest place in Zhu Di's heart - the approval of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!
If he, Zhu Di, really didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people of Beiping Mansion, if he Zhu Di really rebelled, thousands of people and soldiers would be killed......
How did he Zhu Di win the approval of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang?
That's the crux of the matter!
Su Yang gave his answer, which coincided with Monk Daoyan's thoughts!
"In the past, His Royal Highness King Yan was an out-and-out true heroic husband!"
"But in recent years, His Royal Highness King Yan has become more and more alive, becoming an ambitious politician and a careerist with selfish interests!"
"Even if it's because of the repeated persecution of the imperial court, it's not a reason why he Zhu Di can be degenerate and blackened!"
"Because, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, could have been a hero!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Monk Daoyan was a little distracted!
yes, he could have been a hero!
Continue to defend the enemy, continue to defend the northern frontier for the Ming Dynasty, and continue to be his true hero!
If he hadn't participated in the battle for succession, maybe Zhu Yunwen wouldn't have regarded him as a thorn in his side, and he wouldn't have the current move to cut the domain!
But now, is there a way back?
Yan King Zhu Di is not dead, and the new emperor Zhu Yunwen is uneasy!
He Zhu Di has no way to retreat!
"Su Xiaoyou, you also know the situation of Yanwang Mansion!"
"So far, can King Yan still be a hero?"
Su Yang smiled when he heard this.
"Why not?"
"Do you have to go against your heart to rebel?"
"He Zhu Di can be more frank and have a clear conscience!"
As soon as these words came out, Monk Daoyan was stunned for a long time, and the rosary in his hand fell to the ground at some point.
Perhaps, they were wrong in the first place!
Su Yang is reminding them, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
Scenes appeared in Monk Daoyan's mind!
That was the first time Zhu Di had an open and honest conversation with him after he became ambitious.
Zhu Di asked Monk Daoyan how he could win the throne!
And the monk Daoyan gave a nine-character policy - consolidate the foundation, recruit talents, and build miraculous achievements!
Today, Beiping Mansion has long become the foundation of Yanwang Zhu Di, and the people of Beiping also support and respect Yanwang Zhu Di!
In this case, why did Zhu Di, the king of Yan, give up the people of Beiping and give up his foundation?
Monk Dao Yan's eyes flashed with Dao essence, and finally he suddenly got up and looked at Su Yang.
"Xiaoyou is really a generation of geniuses!"
"The poor monk understands, thank you for your help, and say goodbye!"
Su Yang: "???"
What?
What do you understand?
Do I mean that, me?
Su Yang was circled, looking at the back of Monk Daoyan, a little confused.
He always felt that this demon monk in troubled times was chattering, not like a good person!
At the same time, the Yanwang Palace.
Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, who was frowning, and asked while gently rubbing his eyebrows with her hand.
"What's the matter, sir? Why the frustration? ”
Xu Miaoyun is the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the king of Wuning, Zhongshan.
Xu Miaoyun is gifted and intelligent, has a quiet temperament when he was a child, likes to read, has the reputation of "female students", and it is rumored that he has won the true transmission of General Xu Da's art of war.
Xu Miaoyun was entered the palace when she was a girl, and was selected on the side of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and was personally canonized as the princess of Yan by Zhu Yuanzhang in the ninth year of Hongwu.
The husband and wife have always had a good relationship, and they are the only people who can confide in each other.
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then he spoke: "Miaoyun, I went to see Su Yang's kid today!"
Xu Miaoyun asked in a low voice, "How is the child?" I've heard Chi'er say he's talented! ”
"It's not just talent!" Zhu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That kid is a demon!" ”
"Borrowing the matter of cutting the feudal domain by the imperial court, I scolded the king and Zhu Yunwen with a bloody squirt!"
"Huh?" Xu Miaoyun covered her red lips in shock, a little incredulous.
Is this Su Yang so brave?
Zhu Di smiled bitterly again and sighed.
"Su Yang said that this king should not secretly hoard grain and grass in order to raise an army to rebel, ignoring the people of Beiping, and this king should not raise an army to rebel, setting off a war and killing thousands of people and soldiers!"
"Miaoyun, this king really doesn't want to be that hard-won thief!"
Zhu Di roared in some pain, and the whole person was extremely lost.
Su Yang's words completely destroyed his belief in raising troops, and even made him fall into deep self-doubt.
Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned, and then laughed softly.
"Lord, the concubine doesn't understand the righteousness of the country, but the concubine wants to tell the prince a story."
"When Empress Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty and changed the Zhou, did she also face the same confusion as the prince now?"
"I'm afraid that I will be stinking for thousands of years, become a thief who is not easy to come, and be spurned by future generations!"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this.
"But she just did it, not only did she do it, but she also left a wordless tablet before she died, and the merits and demerits were left to future generations to comment!"
"The prince's strength and courage, isn't it as good as a woman?"
"A clear conscience is, why bother yourself?"
