Zhu Di didn't dare to say that he was a saint, and there was nothing wrong with him.

But he knows how to hide himself, and he knows what he has to do.

Among the vassal kings of the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Rong, the king of Qin, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, were the strongest, and all three of them could fight well and were extremely brave.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was brutal, cruel and murderous, misbehaved, and rebellious, so he was often reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

King Zhu Li of Jin is no exception, but slightly better than King Qin, about fifty steps and a hundred steps.

If the two were not protected by the crown prince Zhu Biao, they might have been stripped of the throne by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Compared with the King of Qin and Jin, who quickly corrupted and degenerated after being crowned king, the performance of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was even more eye-catching.

At least, the bad reputation of brutality and murder did not fall on Zhu Di's head.

Zhu Di once heard that the third brother was severely reprimanded by his father for whipping the cook.

Himself, as a vassal king, whipping a cook with a lowly status is not a big deal.

But Zhu Yuanzhang started from the end of the micro, and naturally knew that as a small person, the measure of his heart was really not big.

If you hold a grudge because of this incident, it is not impossible to have some strange condiments in your diet in the future.

Zhu Li was reprimanded by his father, and he thought that what his father said was reasonable.

Since then, the cook is no longer whipped, but the car is cracked, which solves the problem of the chef's grudge from the root.

Zhu Di knew that if the third brother had not shed the blood of the old Zhu family, with his charges on another noble, I am afraid that he would have already been beheaded for public display.

This second layer of speculation, Zhu Di thinks, should be related to him.

Now that he is the crown prince, in terms of status, he is already a king!

The other vassal kings, even his brothers, or even uncles and uncles, were all ministers!

The distinction between the dignity and the inferiority of the monarch and the inferior means that Zhu Di can call on all the forces he wants to use to serve the investigation.

Whoever dares to stop it, or if the yang is in line with the yin, it is a bully to the king, and he can be directly beheaded.

Just making a decision has always been related to many factors.

Zhu Di is not a roundworm in Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach, and he can only rely on past experience and existing wisdom to make judgments about his father's approach.

Whether it's accurate or not depends on how well he knows his daddy.

However, the current Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the Zhu Yuanzhang of the past, so his judgment has been greatly deviated many times.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to investigate this matter, and he didn't care about the style of King Jin at all, nor did he care about the difference between monarchs and ministers.

It's purely that Zhu Di is close now, and he can go directly after giving the order.

Unlike Zhu Li, the king of Jin, who is still in the fiefdom of Taiyuan, this holy decree is issued, and he still needs to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to pass the decree, and then Zhu Li can set off.

This is bound to waste a lot of time, where is the arrangement for Zhu Di to come quickly on the spot?

The reason for this is that Zhu Di wants to break his head, and he will not understand.

It's really that the brain circuits of the two are not in the same world at all, how can there be commonality in ideas?

After Zhu Di received the order, he was about to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and said: "There is a list of martyrs behind this, let's refute it, you let them not be martyred first." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Di was a little surprised, this funeral was something that his father personally formulated, and he had to change it now.

The funeral system has a long history, according to the "Mozi" record: "The Son of Heaven killed the martyrs, many hundreds, and dozens of widows; The generals and doctors were killed, many dozens, and few widows. ”

That is to say, during the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to the scholars, as long as it was the aristocratic class, once they died, they would use a large number of slaves for burial.

There is also a record of martyrdom in the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records", in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a tomb robber who went to dig the tomb of King Youyou of Zhou, and in his mausoleum, more than 100 corpses of the martyrs were found, crisscrossing each other, and the death was extremely miserable.

King Zhou You, the prince of the Beacon Fire Opera, finally died at the hands of the rebellious army, and after his death, he was only buried hastily.

But even so, King Zhou You still has so many martyrs, and the number of martyrs of other emperors who died can be imagined.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, there were a large number of martyred concubines, as long as there were no heirs, all of them followed the First Emperor into the underground palace.

After the Han Dynasty, the funeral system was abolished for a time, until the Jin, Yuan and other nomads came to dominate the Central Plains, and this barbaric system was revived.

Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the legal status of the Yuan Dynasty, and naturally inherited this barbaric burial, even if many courtiers wrote to abolish it, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree from the perspective of rule.

The funeral system also existed in the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and then it was abolished by Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, and became a major achievement in his life.

It's just that the matter of the funeral did not disappear into the dust, more than 100 years later, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the funeral is still the same, even if it is abolished later, the people still exist.

Now that my father took the initiative to mention this matter, Zhu Di was surprised in his heart, and he also agreed.

Speaking of which, his sister-in-law is not living a satisfactory life.

The second brother has never liked the concubine Guanyinnu, so he is very mean in life.

Now that the second brother is dead, if nothing happens, Guanyin, who is the main concubine, will also go with him and be buried in the same cave.

Zhu Di sighed slightly in his heart, this marriage from a political perspective will end in a tragic ending after all.

Now that my father has ordered the postponement of the funeral, it may also be a turning point.

Zhu Di once thought about the issue of martyrdom, but at that time he was the king of Yan, and he just thought about it in his head, and there was no condition for abolishing it.

Although he is now the crown prince, out of consideration for his own status and for fear of disobeying Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, he will not mention this matter.

In the original history, after the success of Zhu Dijing's martyrdom, he did not abolish the funeral, and the reasons are more complicated.

One of the main reasons is that Zhu Di is not in the right position, but a rebellion, so he did not hesitate to copy and inherit all the legal systems formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang to show that he is the legitimate heir of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the moment, Zhu Di moved a little bit of thought, but he quickly pressed it down.

He walked out of the Wuying Hall and did not set off immediately, but returned to the East Palace first.

Investigating such a detailed matter, the attention is to be meticulous as tracing back to the source, Zhu Di is not good at it, so he decided to take the Daoyan monk with him.

With Monk Daoyan by his side, Zhu Di will always feel at ease, and with the wisdom of Monk Daoyan, he will definitely give him a lot of surprises at that time.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Di finished talking to Monk Daoyan and said: "The old monk has to work hard this time, you go with me, Shaanxi is troublesome, and I may not be able to take care of it alone." ”

Previously, Zhu Di had sent Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, to Huizhou, Shaanxi Province to quell the demon rebellion, and at the same time traced the source to find out the truth of the demon rebellion, and there is no return to this day, which shows that things are not as simple as imagined.

Now that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, has died of poisoning, the cause of death is bizarre, Zhu Dixin said that this Shaanxi may have become a chaotic whirlpool, and if you want to find out the truth from it, I am afraid it is not so simple.

One person is poor, Zhu Di knows this truth very well, so he is called a monk of Daoyan, and he is also a good person to discuss.

Dao Yan understood what Zhu Di meant, nodded, and said, "It seems that this time I am going to go straight to the tiger's den with His Highness." ”

"Phew, you old monk is unlucky!"

Monk Daoyan just smiled and didn't speak, he was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and what he learned was mixed.

This time, he felt in his heart that the situation in Shaanxi must not be so simple.
