Chapter 0021: The demon is in chaos, Zhu Di's careful thinking
Secret, just from the literal point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was a secrecy system created by the predecessor.
He stretched out his hand to take Mi Shu from Zhu Di's hand, opened it and saw that the text on it was fine and neat, and the delicate italic characters were pleasing to the eye.
From between the lines, Zhu Yuanzhang can feel a little bit of the feminine beauty of his daughter's family, obviously this secret is written by a woman.
This is not easy, in Fang Jin's world, it is not easy for a woman to have such knowledge.
Look carefully at the text on the dense sparse, line by line, column by column, sincere feelings, sincere words, the person who complained, when the Ministry of Household Shangshu Zhao Mian.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes lightly, and glanced at Zhao Mian, who was the old god without a trace, he was not impressed by this guy, and he only had a name in his remaining memory.
Obviously, even though Zhao Mian has already paid homage to the Ministry of Households, this decaying body has not paid more attention, which is far inferior to Zhan Hui.
After reading the text on Mi Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, pressed Mi Shu under the palm of his hand, and said, "This matter can be discussed later." ”
The matter involves Zhao Mian, the head of the household, which is not small, and it has a great impact on the court, even if you want to raise the butcher knife, you have to find accurate evidence.
What's more, Zhao Mian is also the son-in-law of Liu Sanwu, a scholar from Hanlin, and there is naturally a faction of forces standing behind him.
Zhu Yuanzhang chose to suppress the matter for the time being, and then deal with it after the investigation is clear, but he estimates that this matter will not be small, and I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.
He swept the trembling ministers in the hall meaningfully, and his face was as usual, but the more he did this, the more bottomless the hearts of the ministers in the palace became.
Even Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, who has always been domineering, felt cold sweat at the moment, he was not sure if the sparseness was related to him, coupled with Zhu Di's cautious attitude, it really made people think about it.
The heavy pressure was shrouded in the Fengtian Palace, and the ministers didn't know the details, they were sweating profusely at the moment, and many people were already shivering, and they regretted in their hearts, why didn't they faint just now, and they didn't suffer here.
Zhan Hui's sparseness, Prince Zhu Di's solemnity, and Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent handling made the ministers feel more and more like a storm.
At this moment, the ministers in the palace are thinking about whether they have done anything against the crime in the past few years, especially whether they have been greedy for ink and silver.
Thinking about it, many people are still relieved, they have been doing things conscientiously over the years, not to mention silver taels, even a salted duck egg and no greed for ink, but there is no need to worry about being found out of any evidence.
Merely......
The ministers, who are still in small official positions, looked at the officers standing in front of them, hoping in their hearts that you would not be dizzy, this implicated crime is not something we can afford.
In this way, the court was silent for a short moment before the courtiers stood up again.
The general political envoy Si Tong Zheng Ru Yu stepped forward a few steps, knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the minister received a report that there are demons in Huizhou, Shaanxi, and it is difficult to eliminate it for a while." ”
The ministers were shocked again, this news is interesting, Shaanxi political envoy Si Mo Fei is eating dry rice, and it can't be solved by a little demon chaos, and it actually made trouble in the court.
The so-called demon rebellion is actually the White Lotus Sect, an illegal religion that began to spread and develop as early as the Tang Dynasty, with the tenacious vitality of wildfires and spring breezes.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was turbulent, and the White Lotus Sect seized the opportunity to make waves, and the famous leaders of the Red Turban Army, Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, and Zou Pusheng, were all White Lotus disciples, and they used the prophecies of the birth of King Ming and the birth of Maitreya to encourage the masses and have a great impact.
To tell the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as half of the White Lotus Sect, after all, he has also done the matter of the birth of the fake King Ming, and part of the reason for the "Ming" word in the Ming Dynasty comes from the birth of the King of Ming.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty and the White Lotus Sect can also be regarded as related, but after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he naturally did not talk about this, but instead suppressed the White Lotus Sect strongly.
The beliefs of the White Lotus Sect are extremely complex, the gods revered are also varied, and each faction has its own different doctrines, except for the official unified name of the White Lotus Sect, there is actually not much interoperability within the account.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has been strictly forbidden in the whole country, but the vitality of the White Lotus Sect is extremely tenacious, and it often causes riots.
What surprised them was that such a small matter, the Shaanxi Political Envoy did not handle it well, so that it made trouble in the court, which is quite unclear.
In addition, the fief of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is in Shaanxi, and the king of Qin is in charge, this matter can still be troubled, and the so-called demon rebellion is thought-provoking.
Moreover, Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, only came back from a field trip in Shaanxi at the beginning of the year, how long has it been since the demons began to make trouble?
Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that this matter was unusual, what the courtiers could think of quickly, he was clear-minded, how could he not think of it.
In this matter, there is always a bit of a confusing feeling, which is obviously a matter that can be solved by the political envoy, but it was reported to the Yingtian Forbidden City.
Of course, in the past, if there were demons who rebelled, they also needed to be reported to the court, but they were basically resolved, and the courtiers were waiting for rewards and rewards.
Where is it like this time, the demon rebellion has not been resolved, and the attitude of the Shaanxi political envoy seems to be here to ask for help, which is interesting.
Now that the matter has been reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally send troops to quell the rebellion, this time the opportunity was given to Zhu Di, he thought about it again and again, and said: "Shaanxi is the important place of the country, and it must not be overlooked. ”
Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is the younger brother of Xu Miaoyun, the wife of Zhu Di, and has a prominent position in the court.
His status is too noble, the eldest son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, has great military achievements, and he is the brother-in-law of King Yan, and even the word Huizu is also a gift from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now that Zhu Di chose Xu Huizu to pacify the demon rebellion, he naturally had his careful thoughts in it, but it was unspeakable above the court, so he decided to wait for the retreat from the dynasty and talk to Xu Huizu alone.
The ancestor of Xu Hui, the Duke of Wei, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that he did not deny it, so he stood up and said, "The minister's decree!" ”
He has always been like this, and now that His Majesty is still here, he is naturally the most loyal to His Majesty, and when Zhu Di succeeds to the throne, he will be loyal to Zhu Di, his loyalty, pure and firm.
Using Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, to quell the rebellion of the demons is really a bit overkill, which is tantamount to killing chickens with a knife, but Zhu Di has other thoughts in doing so.
The heart of the emperor is suspicious. Zhu Di perfectly inherited all the advantages and disadvantages of his father, among the many princes, only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the most like Emperor Hongwu, both in terms of ability and character.
Because of this, in the face of the demon rebellion in Huizhou, Shaanxi, Zhu Di keenly felt that there were some strange things, and naturally sent Wei Guogong, who was closest to him.
In the future, there is not much matter, Zhu Di has dealt with them one by one, and he will not end until the sun rises three poles.
After the officials of Honglu Temple routinely sang and retreated, the civil and military officials dispersed, and Zhu Di was a little free and conspired with Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei.
Xu Huizu is not a stupid person, Zhu Di arranged it like this, he also had some guesses in his heart, and the relationship between the two was indeed good, he said bluntly: "Your Highness asked me to go this time, I'm afraid it's not just to quell the rebellion of the demons." ”
