【Wuxu ......】
In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this book and couldn't help but rub his brows.
He continued this action for a long time, and after being seen by Zhu Yunwen in the palace, he hurriedly got up and poured him a cup of tea:
"What's wrong with Grandpa?"
His inquiry made Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing in the palace hear it, and it seemed that Zhu Jixi no longer had the vigor he had a few months ago, and Zhu Gaochi was also frowning, only Zhu Shangbing was still in spirit.
"No, I just don't know why I'm a little nervous today."
Zhu Yuanzhang responded to Zhu Yunwen, and he was also curious about his state.
He hadn't been in such a state for many years, and he didn't know why he had been like this since his lunch break today, as if something big was about to happen.
"Is there anything going on in Yunnan and the north lately?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yunwen and hoped that there had been a change in the outside, but Zhu Yunwen shook his head:
"The counterinsurgency in Yunnan went smoothly, and now Wei Guogong has led his troops to besiege Nong Zhenyou in Guangnan Weimo for half a month, and it is estimated that after two more months, Nong Zhenyou can only open the city and surrender."
"There is no war in the north, and it is estimated that the snow has not yet melted, and the spring grass has not grown, so it is difficult for the northern captives to go south."
"If there is anything to say, I'm afraid that only the second uncle has brought hundreds of rebel children into the house recently......"
Before Zhu Yunwen's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
"That's all?" Zhu Yuanzhang knows Zhu Zhang's temperament very well, if he brings people into the house, it is definitely more than a simple lack of slaves.
"Second uncle is still ......" Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Shangbing vaguely, but saw Zhu Shangbing nervously clenching the brush in his hand at the moment.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his face, but before he could speak, the military attache of the Jinyi Guard ran into the hall with a white face.
"Your Majesty......"
"What are you panicking about" Looking at the appearance of the military attaché, Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied, but the next sentence of the military attache made his mind blank.
"Your Majesty...... King Qin...... The king of Qin ......"
When there was a thunderbolt, Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone in the hall had blank minds.
"You... Say it again to me......" Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that he had heard it wrong, but the military attache kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, Xi'an is eight hundred miles in an emergency, and the hands of the three cooks in the Houfu are poisoned and ......."
"Nonsense!" Zhu Shangbing got up excitedly and pushed the table to the ground, and stepped forward to kick the military attaché.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Yunwen had not come back to their senses, but Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and scolded angrily: "What do you want to do?!" ”
"This ...... Grandpa, my dad ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang's angry scolding woke up Zhu Shangbing, although he did not have deep feelings for his father, but now that the Qin Mansion had just taken over the military power in Shaanxi, how could he be quiet.
"As the king of the Biansai domain, he favors the concubine and bullies the concubine, does not listen to his father's teachings, and imprisons the concubine in the palace."
"It is precisely because of him that there is no owner in the harem, and no one is watching him in his diet and daily life."
"I reminded him again and again, but he ignored his indulgence and illegally tortured the palace people, so he won the jealousy of the palace people and died in the palace......"
After Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses, his first reaction was not to be angry with his son, but to hate iron and steel.
Although he was reluctant to kill his children, no one knew better than him what kind of character his children were and what kind of goods each person was.
After so many years of wind and rain, he also knows that people cannot be resurrected after death, and it is useless to investigate them at the moment......
"Intended ......" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed away the chair and walked in front of the military attache and Zhu Shangbing:
"On the fifth day of the Song Dynasty of the Ministry of Rites, the first day of the Song Dynasty, the princes and princesses of all places, the princesses and princesses of the princesses and the county lords are all in the same system as the funeral of King Lu."
"The children in the sect are all dressed in plain clothes for thirteen days, and the rest of the names are decided by the Ministry of Rites."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Wuying Hall and raised his hand to signal everyone not to follow.
Looking at his departing back, Zhu Yunwen gradually came back to his senses, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Zhu Shangbing.
At the moment, Zhu Shangbing is like a frosted eggplant, and Zhu Jixi and Zhu Gaochi have not come back to their senses.
"Actually dead......" Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, originally he was still thinking about how to deal with Zhu Zhang, but he didn't want him to make a move, Zhu Fan died in the hands of three women.
"Anyway, he is also the head of the kings, and he actually died like this, hehe......"
Zhu Yunwen walked out of the hall, and the corners of his mouth were difficult to press.
Although he looked down on Zhu Rong's death, he still took it as a warning, and said to Li Quan, the eunuch who led the class in the East Palace, after walking out of the Wuying Hall and sitting on the foot court: "In the future, the meals in the East Palace will be checked more." ”
"The slave maid takes the order...... Li Quan's face was pale, and he obviously knew the news that Zhu Fan was poisoned.
With him and Zhu Yunwen leaving, Zhu Gaochi walked out of the hall with Zhu Jixi and Zhu Shangbing after a long time.
Zhu Shangbing's face turned pale, and Zhu Jixi and Zhu Gaochi couldn't see anywhere.
People like them really never thought that one day they would be poisoned.
Zhu Rong's death inevitably aroused their suspicions, after all, just three old women poisoned to kill a prince, such a thing is really unconvincing.
But no matter what they thought, they couldn't think of anyone who would want to poison Zhu Zhang.
Poisoning is such an obvious way that no one would want to do it unless it's all about it.
It's not that they didn't suspect Zhu Yunwen, it's just that Zhu Yunwen didn't have this need.
Zhu Fan is different from Zhu Li, his in-laws, whether Wang Baobao or Deng Yu, are long gone, which means that the old ministry is still scattered, and there is no opportunity and capital to compete for the reserve.
Besides, Zhu Li is in front, no matter how stupid Zhu Rong is, he will not follow Zhu Li's role in competing for the throne.
So in the end, the three of them could only accept the facts.
Zhu Fan was indeed poisoned by a few cooks who were despised by all of them, and such a cause of death matched his identity is indeed unbelievable, but it is indeed a fact......
Not long after, the news of the death of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, came out, and the temples and Taoist temples in Nanjing struck the bell 1,500 times, and the bell rang from the afternoon until dusk before it completely dissipated.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the steps of the stepping bed, as if he had been drained of some strength.
At this moment, he no longer had the spirit to scold Zhu Fan in the Wuying Palace, and only a little loneliness remained.
Outside the Babu bed, the military attache of Jinyiwei has been kneeling and waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak.
The two sides were at a stalemate like this, and it was not until the sound of the dusk drum that Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head.
He slowly closed his eyes, a little desperate: "How did the second child ...... before he died?"
"Your Highness......" The military attache hesitated for a long time before he explained with difficulty: "Your Highness likes to eat cherry frying, and those three old women secretly poisoned His Highness's cherry frying." ”
"The palace people originally wanted to test poison for His Highness, but His Highness didn't like it and expelled it."
"After taking the cherry fry for a quarter of an hour, His Highness felt that he could not breathe, and then he clenched his chest, and finally fell to the ground and bled ......."
When the military attache explained, Zhu Yuanzhang could even imagine the tragic situation of Zhu Fan before his death, but because of this, he felt that Zhu Fan was stupid.
"I scolded him for being as stupid as a beast in my early years, but I didn't want him to be as stupid as a beast......"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his eyes still couldn't stop bursting into tears.
He lowered his head and closed his eyes, wiped the little tears with his hand, and then held back the grief in his heart, and said to the military attaché:
"Although he died innocently, but after all, it is my son, and I plan to put to death the three old women who poisoned him, order the harem concubines to be martyred, give him the nickname "Lie", and reduce the specifications of his funeral. ”
"This ......" the military attache hesitated: "Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit exaggerated......"
"Do as I say." Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth sharply, and the military attache could only respond when he heard this.
Seeing that he responded, Zhu Yuanzhang also got up and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a sacrificial text.
Afterwards, he asked the military attache to bring the memorial to the Ministry of Rites, and he sat down at the window at dusk.
How he was feeling at the moment, perhaps only he could know......
It's a pity that he didn't have time to be quiet, but the military attache who left the palace before turned back.
His face was pale and a little heavier at the same time, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also raised: "What's the matter......"
"Your Majesty......" the military attache said, taking a deep breath and continuing:
"Song Guogong, it's ......"
"It's ......" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, but he calmed down after a while, and finally just said lightly: "I know"
Seeing this, the military attache withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and the news of the death of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Feng Shengxu, the Duke of Song, was also announced by the Di Bao almost on the same day.
Regarding Feng Sheng's death, many people were full of regret as they were when Fu Youde's death was announced.
But for Zhu Rong's death, many people just sighed, thinking that it was really humiliating for a nobleman like him to die at the hands of three gang cooks.
But when they thought of his brutality, many officials shook their heads one after another.
Under the news of Zhu Rong's death, Feng Sheng's death seemed insignificant.
Among them, especially the people in the Guanzhong area are the most active, the death of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, made many people in Guanzhong secretly applaud, and the yamen also concealed the civil situation and did not report it.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who is a father, knows this, so at the funeral on the ninth day of the third month, most of the sacrificial texts written by Zhu Yuanzhang were disparaged.
[I have the world, the feudal princes, and the period is in the Fanping Emperor's room. The East Palace of the Erhe Year was first sealed in Qin. The country of Zier has no good name, nicknamed the villain, and the wine rages on the territory. Angry with the sky, repeatedly tried to blame, and finally did not realize it, resulting in a convulsion. Although you are dead, it is obvious that Yu Gu will be the evil caused by Er Cunri, and the money will be announced, and you will listen to it......]
In the memorial text, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that Zhu Fan is innocent of death, even if he is dead, Zhu Yuanzhang has to count the ranks of the crimes he committed during his lifetime.
Zhu Yuanzhang first pointed out that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was unfilial and had no way to govern the territory, and accused him of obeying his second concubine Deng and living a luxurious life, which led to the hardship of the local people and officials.
Not only that, Zhu Fan and the second concubine Deng's many almost perverted evil deeds were also written by Zhu Yuanzhang in the sacrificial text, such as buying gold and silver from the army and civilians, causing the army and the people to be embarrassed, and they could only pawn their children......
In addition to the above, Zhu Yuanzhang also denounced him in the sacrificial text for not compensating his subordinates, mishandling the West and so on......
In short, it seems that in order to convince the Qin King Zhu Fan after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang listed his crimes in great detail, and wrote them in the sacrificial text one by one, and finally did not forget to make a summary statement:
[Woohoo, the act of Guan'er is unprecedented in ancient times, and the crime cannot be punished by public law. Today, the family members of the order do not serve with the end, but still save the priest to bury the shallow burial, and use the public ceremony, and the barnyard suffers in the underworld, in order to vent the anger of the gods and men. 】
"The second child was scolded so miserably......"
Looking at the sacrificial text in his hand that was almost written as a thief's inscription, Zhu Di in Beiping City couldn't help but sigh.
Beside him, Xu and Yao Guangxiao were accompanied, and hearing his words, Xu also sighed:
"It's a pity that the Wang family was ordered to be martyred, and she is also a hard-working person."
The Wang family in Xu's mouth is the sister of the deceased Wang Baobao, the king of Northern Yuan Qi, and the Guanyin slave written by later generations.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, she and many concubines and palace maids will be martyred for Zhu Zhang.
Such an end made Xu sigh, and at the same time looked at Zhu Di: "The old prince has also passed away, but His Majesty has not even given a posthumous tribute, I don't know if Gao Xu will be sad after hearing it." ”
Xu has been worried about Zhu Gaoxu these days, but Zhu Di feels good about himself: "I didn't listen to the second child's complaints, I think it's a good life." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao: "Daoyan, you said that my second brother died, what will my father do now?" ”
Seeing Zhu Di asking himself, Yao Guangxiao stopped thinking about the Buddhist beads in his hand, and saluted with one hand:
"The poor monk thinks that although His Majesty belittles the King of Qin, the King of Qin is also His Majesty's own flesh and blood after all, and Shang Bing, the son of Qin in Beijing, is afraid that he will soon leave for Xi'an to become a vassal."
"As for the Jin Mansion, as far as the poor monks know, the King of Jin has been depressed and unhappy since the death of Yongping Marquis Xie Cheng, and I am afraid it will not last long."
"What Your Highness should do at the moment is to follow His Majesty's edict, prepare for peace of mind, and at the same time don't meddle in the affairs of His Royal Highness."
Yao Guangxiao is still the same old rhetoric, hoping that Zhu Di'an will guard his own side, and at the same time not help Zhu Gaoxu.
Even though his words have been said thousands of times, Zhu Di is still a little uncomfortable, after all, he likes Zhu Gaoxu the most among the three sons.
Now that Zhu Gaoxu is so good, but he can't go back to Beiping for his use, sometimes Zhu Di can't help but complain about his father in his heart.
But when he thought of Lao Zhu's angry appearance, Zhu Di hurriedly apologized to Lao Zhu in his heart.
Thinking about it, when he thought that Zhu Shangbing was going to be released back to Xi'an to attack the throne of Qin, Zhu Di thought of his eldest and third child again:
"Dao Yan, when will the eldest and third be released?"
"I'm afraid not in the short term." Yao Guangxiao replied without thinking, and continued:
"At present, the Second Highness has been released to Jilin City, if you are put back to the Prince and the Third Highness, Your Majesty will have no handle on Your Highness, you had better not look forward to it."
Although he had known the answer for a long time, Zhu Di was still a little uncomfortable when he heard Yao Guangxiao say this.
It's just that his own Xu sister is still by his side at the moment, and he has to pretend to be happy and smile at Xu:
"Sister Xu, I have to go to Kaiping Weibeibian with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in May, this time I have to go for five months, you have to take care of it for me at home, I don't want to die like my second brother."
"Your Royal Highness......" Although he knew that Zhu Di was joking, Xu still didn't like it, and Zhu Di, who saw this, immediately coughed and got up:
"I'll go to the stables and have a look, Daoyan, you come with me."
The words fell, and without waiting for Xu to speak, Zhu Di walked out of the palace with Yao Guangxiao.
Looking at the back of Zhu Di leaving, Xu was also amused.
It's just that the smile didn't last long, Xu Shi retracted it, and then looked out the window on the side worriedly, all worried about Zhu Gaoxu's knowledge of Feng Shengxu's death.
As for the people he was worried about, they didn't know about the big events happening in the south, and they were still carrying out his plans......
"Your Highness, the slave is back!"
In the Bohai Palace, when Zhu Gaoxu was instructing a craftsman to carve a sand table, the front yard behind him also heard the voice he wanted to hear most at the moment.
He turned abruptly and walked out, and sure enough, after a few breaths, he saw the dusty Yishiha and the two Jurchens with raw faces.
"I've been waiting for your news for a long time!"
Zhu Gaoxu walked towards Yishiha enthusiastically, and before he could make a move, he was a bear hug.
Sixteen-year-old Zhu Gaoxu has been born five feet nine inches, compared to him, only five feet three inches is really not tall.
His enthusiastic gesture also made Yishaha's heart warm, and the smile on his face was even worse.
When Zhu Gaochu let go, he immediately enthusiastically introduced to Zhu Gaoxu:
"Your Highness, this is Ta Lost, the eldest son of Hurha Khan in Futijin City, who negotiated with us on behalf of Hurha Khan."
"Tar Lost, the son of Khul Khan, see His Royal Highness King Bohai here......"
Yishu Hacai introduced that the tower in his early twenties knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhu Gaoxu.
His official words are not good, but Zhu Gaoxu can understand them.
His figure was not tall, only about five feet, and even if he stood up, he could only reach Zhu Gaoxu's chest, so Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to drag him and prevent him from kneeling.
"With me, no one has to kneel, except the enemy."
Zhu Gaoxu said, pulling the tower to the carrier hall.
Seeing this, Yisha smiled at the guards of Ta Lost and said in Jurchen words: "My Royal Highness is easy-going, I didn't lie to you about this. ”
"I really haven't seen a Han official who is so good to us, and he is such a big official." The guards also gained knowledge and couldn't help but praise.
The two followed the footsteps of Zhu Gaoxu and Ta Lost into the Carrier Palace, of course, it is said to be the Carrier Palace, but in fact, it is taller and more spacious than ordinary houses.
After pulling Ta Shi into the carrier hall, Zhu Gaoxu did not sit in the main seat, but sat side by side with him in the guest seat.
Yisha sat aside and translated some words for Zhu Gaochu that he didn't understand, and Zhu Gaochu also said to Tashi:
"I have always had respect for the tribes close to my Ming dynasty, especially heroes like Khurha Khan."
"This time, I sent Yishu Ha to the city of Futijin, so that we can live in peace and exchange trade in the future."
Zhu Gaoxu said very bluntly, because he was worried that Ta Lost would not understand, and Ta Lost did not twist and turn around about this, but said in his intestines:
"Your Highness, I've told my father about it, and I've heard a lot about you."
"My father has already told Yishiha about our trade with Jilin City, you can ask him before making a decision."
After Ta Lost finished speaking, Zhu Gaochu looked at Yi Lost Ha, and Yi Lost Ha also explained to Zhu Gaoxu:
"What Khurkha Khan means is that he only exchanges what he needs, and when the exchange is enough, he will not continue to trade, but will wait until the next transaction to send someone to inform us."
"The Khurha Khan needs food, the more the better, followed by five hundred iron pots, and preferably swords, guns, weapons and arrows."
"In this regard, he can exchange cows, horses, lambs, and furs and ginseng with us, one stone of grain and one mink, or five deer skins and wolf skins, bear skins and tiger skins for three stone of rice, and the same is true for the price of iron pots."
"As for weapons, he is willing to give out two minks for each weapon, and one mink for ten arrows."
"If we want to buy livestock, it will be two stone rice for a sheep, five stone for an inferior horse, ten stone for a medium horse, and twenty stone for a cow."
"But if His Highness is willing to sell them a thousand catties of tea, they can buy the tea for twenty cows."
Basically, in the vast northeast region north of Jilin, grain is the hard currency, while tea and iron pot weapons are second-class goods.
"I can't sell weapons, but I can give them a thousand iron pots, and I can buy horses, cattle, and furs for eight thousand stones."
"We can transport food to them by water, but they have to send their own troops to protect it."
What Zhu Gaoxu needs most now is to cash in, after all, it has only been a month and a half since Yang Bin arrived in Jilin City.
During this month and a half, he had to exchange the surplus grain in his hand for furs and livestock as quickly as possible, so as to allow Yang Bin to support him as much as possible.
In the face of Zhu Gaoxu's words, Ta Shi was a little overwhelmed, so he was silent for a long time before nodding and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the tribe now, when will we trade?" ”
"How about April 15?" Zhu Gaoxu asked Ta Lost, and Ta Lost also looked at the guards he brought.
The guard nodded, and Ta Yu also looked at Zhu Gaoxu and nodded: "In that case, I'll go back now, I hope you can send us by boat." ”
"That's not a problem." Zhu Gaoxu had a smile on his face, and turned his head to signal Yishu to do it.
Seeing that the deal was made, he also warmly beckoned Ta Shi and them to stay for dinner, but Ta Shi and they were in a hurry to go back.
It is not surprising that in the Northeast of this era, around every winter is a time of food shortage for various tribes.
The 8,000 stone of grain that Zhu Gaoxu traded with them this time was enough for more than 20,000 people in the tribe to eat for nearly two months.
These two months were enough time for them to be busy until the end of spring ploughing, and then they went hunting in the forest.
At that time, after the autumn harvest, they may be able to catch up with the second trade with Jilin City, so as to survive a comfortable winter.
Seeing that Ta was lost and they were in a hurry to go back, Yisha did not force them to stay, but escorted them to the water village to return to Futijin City by boat.
In this way, Zhu Gaoxu only needs to wait until April 15 to trade......
