Chapter 38: Queen Ma Healed

The parallel world of the Ming Dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, April.

Since Zhu Quan's showdown with Zhu Yuanzhang, his life has changed dramatically.

He became the first prince of the Ming Dynasty to be crowned king when he was a minor, and was crowned King Ning.

Lao Zhu also gave him to open a house and build teeth, and he was the same as the three divisions.

Kaifu, that is, moving out of the palace and owning his own private land, Ning Wangfu.

Jianya, that is, to establish one's own guard, generally has three guards, and the number of each guard ranges from 3,000 to 19,000, and the three guards are 9,000 to 57,000.

Yi is the same as the three divisions, the three divisions are the three public and three divisions, and the three divisions are the Taishi, the Taifu, and the Taibao; The three dukes are Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong; It is equivalent to having the power to appoint subordinate officials.

After finishing chatting with the group members, Zhu Quan hurried to the palace to find Lao Zhu with the Sick Pill.

"What, you contacted that Su Immortal Master, and asked for an elixir to eliminate all diseases?"

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Quan's words, he couldn't help but exclaim, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, the disease dispelling pill is here, and it will definitely cure the queen's illness."

Zhu Quan didn't explain that this pill was not given by Su Qing, but he bought it with his own points.

He took out a black-brown elixir the size of a dragon's eye and handed it to Lao Zhu.

"Hurry, my sister is saved."

Lao Zhu took the pill and ran to the harem, not wanting to delay for a moment.

Don't say it, don't look at Lao Zhu's age, he will run away as soon as he slips away.

Zhu Quan followed behind and walked towards the Kunning Palace where Queen Ma lived.

By the time he arrived at Kunning Palace, the matter was over.

There was a pool of blackened blood on the floor of Kunning Palace, which should have been spit out by Queen Ma after taking the Sickness Removal Pill.

At this time, Queen Ma's face was very different from before.

The complexion is ruddy and shiny, and the spirit is full, as if it has been reborn.

"Little Seventeen is here, the queen mother heard your father say that this elixir was asked for by you from the immortal master, and the queen mother has to thank you."

Seeing Zhu Quan stepping into Kunning Palace, Queen Ma stepped forward and took his hand and said with a kind face.

"Thank you, Uncle Seventeen, for saving Grandma Huang and saving me."

Zhu Xiongying, the imperial grandson, jumped down from the bed and solemnly bowed to Zhu Quan.

Eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying is three and a half years older than Zhu Quan, but a generation lower than him.

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson is polite, the queen mother is sick, I see the pain in my eyes and in my heart, and I can't replace him."

"Now that I have the ability, I should try to find a way to make my mother heal."

Zhu Quan hurriedly dodged out of the way and did not receive a salute from Zhu Xiongying.

It's just a disease pill, and he doesn't care very much about it.

Besides, the original body was raised by Queen Ma, and he has to admit and repay this love.

As long as Queen Ma does not die, then Lao Zhu will not go on a killing spree, and the future of Daming will change for the better.

"Haha, Seventeen, you did a good job in this, my sister's illness is cured, let's rest assured."

"Fortunately, we didn't ask the eunuch to test the medicine, otherwise it would have been wasted."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat cross-legged on the bed, his face was full of red light, and he looked very excited.

"I'll just say that Seventeen won't hurt me, if you let the little eunuch try the medicine, then my illness won't be cured."

Queen Ma glanced at him and said, "You can't let Seventeen ask for another elixir, right?" ”

"Hey, we can't talk about you, you have the final say."

"You're just recovering from a serious illness, let's have a good rest first, we still have official business to deal with."

Zhu Yuanzhang got out of bed and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Everyone responded in unison and sent him away, and Zhu Quan also left.

"Boy, are you okay? If it's okay, tell us about what happened after we died. ”

Leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Quan and did not let him leave.

Zhu Quan thought that there was really nothing wrong, so he followed him to Fengtian Temple.

After the two sat down, Zhu Quan asked, "What Your Majesty wants to know, I know everything, and I have no end to it." ”

"Tell us, after we died, why did that kid lose the world after sitting on the throne for four years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled, it stands to reason that since he would give the throne to Zhu Yunwen, it means that he is very satisfied with Zhu Yunwen.

Otherwise, why didn't he give the throne to Zhu Yunxi, or Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, and Zhu Di?

Since Zhu Yunwen can satisfy him, why did he lose the world in just four years, could it be that he looked away, this kid is a waste?

Even if the fourth child wants to rebel and challenge the entire Ming Dynasty with a domain, and let him succeed in his rebellion, this is incredible.

"There are many reasons for the defeat of Emperor Jianwen, and later generations of scholars have summarized several reasons, let me tell Your Majesty about it."

Zhu Quan thought about it for a moment and said: "First, blindly cutting the feudal domain, there is no family affection at all. ”

"In the third month of Emperor Jianwen's ascension to the throne, he couldn't wait to issue an order to cut down the feudal domain, and put aside his promise of His Majesty's 'grace and might'."

"In a year, more than a dozen vassal kings were cut in a row, and first he took the position of the fifth brother's king of Zhou, abolished the fifth brother as a concubine, and demoted him to Menghua, Yunnan."

"Then, he issued a decree again and again to seize the throne of the seventh, twelfth, and thirteenth brothers, and abolished them as concubines."

"He put the seventh brother under house arrest in Yingtianfu, and the thirteenth brother under house arrest in Datong, and he will not be allowed to leave half a step for the rest of his life."

"Brother Twelve was humiliated, and in order to save his name, his family set himself on fire."

"Subsequently, he issued an order to abolish the position of the eighteenth brother of King Min, abolish him as a concubine, and demote him to Zhangzhou."

"In order to protect himself, the fourth brother can only pretend to be crazy and stupid, eat the glutinous rice in the bucket, and escape."

"Since then, everyone in the kings has been in danger, and Zhu Yunwen has lost the hearts of the royal family."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes turned red.

He has always valued blood and family affection the most, even if other sons are not liked by him, but they are also his sons of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a father, he can scold and beat, but others can't say a bad word.

Good fellow, when he died, the successor he personally chose to succeed him had driven his sons to such a point.

Animals are not as good as animals!

Fortunately, all this is what will happen in the future, he has already abolished Zhu Yunwen's mother, and this kid will never be qualified to inherit the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang endured his temper, was patient, and continued to listen.

"Second, greedy for false fame, false benevolence and false righteousness!"

Zhu Quan continued: "After the fourth brother raised troops and was in trouble, the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, but Emperor Jianwen cared about the feelings of his uncle and nephew, and said to the generals who led the army to fight, 'Don't let me bear the name of killing my uncle', which made the leading generals doubly restrained, and there were more defeats and fewer victories. ”

"Your Majesty, you say, is he hypocritical?"

"The battle has been fought, but he has to come out like this, as if the person who forced his uncle to commit suicide before was not him."

After saying the second reason, Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.

"Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but full of bad water! Very foolish! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and commented without hesitation.

There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, let alone uncles and nephews?

Since you have made up your mind to cut the domain, you should be ruthless and cut it to the end.

Either you don't do it, or you don't do it.

Cutting the feudal clan and suddenly discovering that he was worried about the friendship between uncle and nephew, what kind of trouble is this?

What is not stupidity?

"Third, they are gullible and have no opinions."

"At the beginning of Emperor Jianwen's ascension to the throne, he listened to the advice of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai and began to cut the domain."

"Although these three people are full of knowledge, they are all Zhao Kuo's talents on paper, not Han Xin's all-round talents in civil and military affairs."

"After the Jing Disaster, Emperor Jianwen listened to the advice of these three people, and let go of Xu Yungong, the Duke of Wei and Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, who knew how to fight, and appointed Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, as the general, and let him lead an army of 500,000 to the Northern Expedition, resulting in the defeat of the 500,000 army at the hands of the fourth brother and 50,000 people, and the success was lost."

"It can be said that the fourth brother can win the world, and Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai are indispensable."

"Some people even suspect that the three of them are the fourth brother's traitors who inserted himself next to Zhu Yunwen."

After hearing this, Lao Zhu's brows furrowed even tighter.

500,000 defeated to 50,000, this Li Jinglong is a pig, right?

As long as you know a little bit about military affairs, you can drag Zhu Di's 50,000 people to death with 500,000 people, right?

"What about Xu Da, Fu Youde, Li Wenzhong, and Lan Yu's kid? Let's remember that our subordinates are like clouds, why are these people gone after we died? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who listened to it for a long time, suddenly found that why his old brothers were gone, and only juniors were left?

"Well, Xu Da died of illness in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and His Majesty posthumously named him the King of Zhongshan; As for Li Wenzhong, he died of illness in the seventeenth year of Hongwu and was posthumously named the king of Qiyang. ”

Zhu Quan glanced at him and said in a calm tone: "As for Fu Youde and Lan Yu and others, because the crown prince died of illness, His Majesty was worried that the young Zhu Yunwen would not be able to suppress the old department of Huaixi, so he gave them to death. ”

"In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others were given to death."

"In the same year, the Lanyu case occurred, and His Majesty killed 15,000 people, including Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, He Rong, Dongxiao Bo, Zhan Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Fu Youwen, the servant of the Ministry of Households, and were stripped of skin and grass, confiscated their homes, and exterminated the three clans."

"So, when Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, the old Huaixi troops were basically dead."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was instantly silenced.

Yes, if the crown prince and the imperial grandson died one after another, he would definitely do this kind of thing.

As an emperor, maintaining one's own rule is the first priority.

As for the old brothers, I had to apologize to them and invite them on the road.

"How did these three fools get into the court?"

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to ask about the origin of Fang Xiaoru and the others.

"Fang Xiaoru was a disciple of the great Confucian Song Lian and was deeply trusted by Emperor Jianwen; After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he ordered him to draft the edict on the throne, but if he did not obey, he was punished by the ten clans. ”

"Qi Tai is the seventeenth year of Hongwu Ying Tianxiang tried to solve the Yuan, the following year into a jinshi, after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he ordered him and Huang Zicheng to participate in national politics together, promoted to the military department of Shangshu; In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Jingshi was lost, and Qi Tai ran to other counties in order to recover; was caught by the soldiers under the fourth brother, and died unyieldingly, and the nine clans were wiped out. ”

"Huang Zicheng is the eighteenth year of Hongwu's examination meeting, and he was the first to read in the East Palace, and he met Emperor Jianwen; After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he punished the nine clans, and the female dependents served as official prostitutes for generations. ”

Zhu Quan said lightly: "Strictly speaking, the three of them are still the auxiliary ministers that Your Majesty selected for Emperor Jianwen. ”

"What, do you mean those three fools were chosen by us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't believe it, with his eye-catching eyes, how could he choose three fools?

"Yes, that's right, His Majesty chose it for him."

Zhu Quan nodded and confirmed again: "In general, the defeat of Emperor Jianwen is due to his indecision and lack of knowledge, which is to blame, no wonder others." ”

"We see what you mean."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he asked again: "Then tell us, how did your eldest brother die?" ”

The imperial doctor examined Zhu Biao's body, and everything was normal without any disease.

He couldn't figure it out, how could a good prince suddenly die?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Hongwu was ordered to inspect Guanzhong in the twenty-fifth year, and on the way back, he contracted a cold and died."

Zhu Quan replied: "To put it simply, he is tired to death. ”

Since the abolition of the prime minister system of more than 1,000 years in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the centralization of power has reached its peak.

But correspondingly, without the help of the prime minister, the emperor's work became much busier.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed more than 200 pieces of music and more than 400 state affairs every day.

Since the tenth year of Hongwu, Ah Biao has assisted Lao Zhu in handling government affairs and is the executive vice emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

With so much work every day, he often has to be busy until late to rest.

In the fifteen years from the time he helped Lao Zhu deal with state affairs to his death, the high-intensity work of 007 every day was even a cow tired to death.

"Nonsense, how can Biao'er die of exhaustion? Nonsense. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and stared, his face full of disbelief.

"Anyway, that's how the history books are written, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can't help it."

Zhu Quan spread his hands with an indifferent attitude.

The historical Ah Biao is dead, but the current Ah Biao is still alive.

With him Zhu Quan here, he will never let Ah Biao die.

As for the historical record, what does it matter if Lao Zhu believes it or not?

"In this way, let's make it easier for Biao'er in the future and don't deal with so many state affairs."

Seeing that Zhu Quan swore that it did not look like a fake, Lao Zhu believed it.

You can't go on like this, it's too cost-effective to be tired and so old.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is relaxed, who will handle government affairs?"

Zhu Quan grinned and said, "With such heavy government affairs, Your Majesty is not afraid of dying of exhaustion?" ”

Anyway, the two of them have to die of exhaustion, it depends on how Lao Zhu chooses.

"Huh?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"After the fourth child ascended the throne, what did he do?"

After thinking about it, Lao Zhu asked, "Is he also lazy to let the prince help deal with government affairs?" ”

The eldest son Zhu Gaochi of the fourth Zhu Di is four years old, and the second son Zhu Gaochu is also two years old.

If you wait for the fourth child to ascend the throne in 20 years, the eldest son will be 24 years old, and he can just handle government affairs.

"Well, that's all you can say, but that's not the case."

Zhu Quan thought for a while and explained: "After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he set up a cabinet system, and used the counselor of Hallym University to help him handle government affairs. ”

"But in the middle and late periods, the fourth brother personally conquered the Tatar and Warat tribes five times, and fought abroad all the year round, and the major affairs of the court and politics were basically handed over to the eldest nephew of the crown prince Gao Chi."

"There is even a saying in later generations that Gao Chi's nephew is my Ming Emperor, and the fourth brother is just his son's expeditionary general."

Belch. Cabinet? Warat? Expeditionary General?

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded.

I saw a righteous father who said that the back was very watery.

Let me explain in a whisper that it is always necessary to write about the development of group members.

Is it all a brushstroke? Write only the result, not the process?

I didn't write it like that.
