The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 469 Assassinated by Constantly Changing Hands
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue's little farce soon spread to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in a small teahouse by the Qinhuai River, listening to the stories of the storyteller in the hall.

After hearing the news, he smiled and said to Dasun: "It seems that Yunxie is relatively pure-hearted, but he has not seen much in the world."

"Probably because I have been in the deep palace for a long time, some people are so sophisticated, but it seems not so clear."

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Grandpa said that grandson has always wanted Yunxi, Yunwen, to come out and practice for a while."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and said, "The elder grandson is the eldest brother, so let's arrange it by himself."

In terms of his grandsons, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much time to pay attention to them, including before, that is, he paid more attention to Zhu Yunqi who was sitting next to him.

After the abolition of the Prime Minister, the power was concentrated in the emperor alone, and the daily government affairs had already consumed a lot of energy.

The sons are already having a headache. There were not many sensible and obedient ones before, so the grandchildren can only pay attention occasionally.

This is also the helplessness of being an emperor.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Youdao means that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest grandson is the elder of all grandchildren, so he naturally has to take on the responsibility of educating the younger brothers.

At this time, Zhu Yunqi was very quiet following the emperor's grandfather and elder brother.

He is also just a young man, so he naturally has some thoughts about the prosperity of the capital, but his special status makes him choose not to leave alone.

Along the way, when Grandpa Huang was chatting with his eldest brother, they were all about some arrangements, transfers, and preparations for the capital.

There are also the reasons for the establishment of some recent rules by the eldest brother.

This made him, who has been listening to Confucianism growing up, feel that he has benefited a lot.

Zhu Yunqi himself is relatively intelligent and intelligent, not to mention the talent of the top scholar, but he still has this ability if he takes the Jinshi examination.

The more he listened to the elder brother's narration, the more Zhu Yunqi realized his shortcomings, there was no comparison at all, and even some key points were still vague.

In my heart, I decided to find another opportunity after the fact and ask my elder brother.

Probably because it may seem like a trivial matter in the capital, but in fact Zhu Yunwen knew very well in his heart that the conversation between the emperor's grandfather and the eldest brother was all about the strategy of governing the country.

And some topics also made the current Zhu Yunqi admire the elder brother even more.

Not in terms of knowledge, but the eldest brother dared to 'contradict' Grandpa Huang.

This really made Zhu Yunxuan, who was listening on the sidelines, tremble with fear, I admire him so much.

You must know that when the elder brother was on the road, he argued with the emperor because of some business matters.

Oh my god, arguing with the emperor's grandfather is something Zhu Yunqi never dared to dream about.

In my impression, only my father, who once argued with Grandpa Huang because of some things, was chased and beaten by Grandpa Huang with a stool and legs.

But on the elder brother's side, he still won.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were full of brilliance.

The worship of young people is so simple, at this moment Zhu Yunqi doesn't even know that he himself is about to become the big brother's little fan.

And it was at this time that the news about Zhu Yuanzhang's departure from the palace had already reached the Japanese merchants through that Mr. Zhang.

Merchants from the Wa Kingdom do not have a high status in the capital. Although Daming is now fighting against the Wa Kingdom, it does not mean targeting all the Wa people.

Therefore, although some commercial activities of the Japanese people have been greatly restricted, they have not completely disappeared.

Because of the long-term lurking, many descendants of the Japanese people have obtained the household registration of Daming. With similar looks and proficiency in the local dialect, few people can recognize them.

At this time, in a residential house near Fang City.

More than ten Japanese gathered together.

Most of them young people, it can be said that they have lived in Daming since they were born, and they have never been to the so-called Japanese country of their ancestral home.

But their father told them the identity of the Japanese since they were young.

Most of them are not even proficient in Japanese, except that they know that they are Japanese, and the rest are completely assimilated by Ming culture.

And in terms of surnames, they are all the surnames of Daming. Only when they return to the Wa country will they say the name of the Wa people.

The leader was Meng Yi, who took out a note and put it on the table for everyone to see, and then said: "Someone sent us news that the emperor of Daming, along with the eldest grandson of Daming, and three other grandsons, are at the Playing in the capital."

"Currently, it is by the Qinhuai River, which is less than a few hundred steps away from us."

"I've already sent people to investigate. What the letter said is true. Although the guards are all dressed in sackcloth, they are all of the best in martial arts. Only Jin Yiwei has so many masters."

"The only one who can order Jin Yiwei's followers is the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Judging from the age, it is indeed the same."

"This is an excellent opportunity for us. At this moment, our country is being conquered by Ming Dynasty, and most of Kyushu Island has fallen under the control of Ming Dynasty."

"If the emperor of Ming Dynasty died at this time, it would definitely lower the morale of the Ming army in Japan."

After listening to Meng Yi's words and reading the note on the table, the hall was surprisingly silent.

Seeing this, Meng Yi couldn't help saying angrily; "Could it be that you have fallen to this point in Daming? You must know that you are the descendants of the Wa Kingdom, and you are the Wa people, not the Ming people."

"The money and status you use are all sent to you by the domestic family with great effort. At this point, what are you still hesitating about?"

Hearing this reprimand, many people showed shame on their faces.

In fact, they were not like this before, mainly because this year, the capital has changed too fast, and they have already enjoyed the current capital very much.

Although the original capital of the Ming Dynasty was known as the most prosperous place in the world and the largest city with the largest population, Zhu Yuanzhang’s strict rules and various restrictions made life in the capital unsatisfactory for many people, especially businessmen. .

In a low position, being insulted by others, there is nowhere to vent.

I can only live in frustration.

But this year, it's completely different.

Before the sea ban was lifted, the setting of checkpoints became much easier. The goods from the provinces of Ming Dynasty were bought by Qunying Chamber of Commerce in large quantities at extremely low prices.

The price for the common people is lower, but it can directly achieve the effect of clearing inventory.

Like any fruit from all over the world, it was directly pulled away by thousands of stones.

Fruit is a seasonal commodity. Merchants who usually sell fruit have to bear the risk of not being able to sell a large amount. After calculation, they don't make much money.

It was purchased by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and the price is still reasonable. The key is that all of them have been exchanged for money, so there is no need to bear the risk of damage. The price is double that of previous years.

And these fruits were quickly sent to the capital by Daming Water Conservancy, and then there were various activities, such as buy one get one free, buy three get two free, which dazzled the people of the capital now.

In an instant, it was dumping on a large scale.

Take advantage of it, who doesn't like it.

This sales method was quickly learned and adopted by other chambers of commerce.

Not only in terms of fruit, but also in other aspects.

This has also led to the fact that today's Daming capital enjoys not only goods from the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, but after the sea ban is lifted, a large number of exotic goods from abroad also flow into the capital.

Plus the weakening of the level.

The entertainment industry is also rising rapidly. Theatrical troupes from various places, famous dishes and snacks from various regions are all the rage.

The key is that Daming has a large population, making it much easier to earn money.

Coupled with the proper management of the capital, the current capital is a truly civilized and prosperous capital.

Since these Japanese people came to the capital, they have completely fallen in love with this place.

They are all scholars, and they have been to many places, but the life in the capital is too lingering.

What you want, what you want to eat, what you want to see, what you want to play, everything you want.

Coupled with the recent increase in the supply of money by the Wa Kingdom to these Wa people lurking in Daming, their determination has not been as firm as before.

The colorful world is the most annoying.

"Brother Meng put it simply, but you have to know that those who protect the emperor of Ming Dynasty are first-class soldiers."

"All of them are masters in the Ming army. On our side, there are only less than thirty archers. If one strike fails, the Emperor of Ming will be furious."

"If we follow the vine and find out our identities, the Japanese will be severely punished in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"Even if it is done, killing the emperor of Ming Dynasty and his heir, wouldn't the Japanese conquest be over? I think it might be even more ferocious than before."

"The new Emperor Ming definitely wants to avenge him. That will only make him even crazier, and even the Wa Kingdom will be completely destroyed."

After a while, a person stood up and said righteously.

These words quickly aroused the approval of others.

Most people agree that assassinating the Ming emperor is an unreliable thing.

In fact, what most people are afraid of is that when they know that the Japanese did it, it will affect their lives in the capital.

Looking at the discussion in front of him, Meng Yi leaned on his seat in a somewhat dejected manner.

He feels that the Japanese people now have changed, and it seems that they are no longer loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any reason to object.

Perhaps, the Patriarch's decision was wrong at the beginning, and they should not be sent to learn the culture of Ming Dynasty. Now, they are like the literati of Ming Dynasty, and have lost their previous loyalty.

Meng Yi felt a little aggrieved when he thought of the money that had been continuously sent by the coast recently.

But with his own power alone, he couldn't drive enough power to assassinate the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

In order to avoid being overwhelmed, the warriors secretly cultivated by the Japanese are all distributed under the leaders. The Japanese were arrested before, and it did not have much impact on them.

At this time, a person said: "Brother Meng's thoughts, we all understand, but the other party sent a note, obviously intending to borrow a knife to kill someone."

"Borrow our sword to kill the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and let us bear all the responsibilities."

"Since this is the case, why can't we use other people's swords to kill, just like them."

Hearing this, Meng Yi looked at one of them and asked, "Brother Zhao, what's your idea? But in Daming, although many people hate the Emperor of Ming to the bone, but if they are asked to assassinate, I'm afraid not many people are willing to do so." courage."

"If no suitable candidate can be found, the emperor of Ming Dynasty will return to the palace soon, and the next time he comes out, he will not know when it will be."

The Japanese who was called Brother Zhao said with a smile; "Brother Meng, and all of you here, you know about the recent killing of the commander of the capital."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhao didn't want to talk about this matter, but now he has to say that Mr. Zhao's subordinates are also involved in this case."

Hearing this, everyone immediately exclaimed.

Brother Meng even straightened his body, fixed his eyes on him, and called him by his name: "Zhao Lishan, this matter is no joke."

Zhao Lishan said proudly, "Of course I'm not joking."

"Zhao doesn't know the specific origin of the other party, but at that time, the other party just contacted Zhao to deal with it."

"Currently, Zhao can still contact them."

"They dared to directly kill the commanders of the four guards. They must have extremely great hatred for the Emperor Ming. Now that they have received this news, they will definitely attack."

Meng Yi said in a deep voice, "Are you sure."

Zhao Lishan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but there is no better way now."

Meng Yi nodded: "Then I will leave this matter to Brother Zhao. It is not too late. I also ask Brother Zhao to contact him immediately. I will send someone to follow up and keep an eye on his movements."

Zhao Lishan didn't get up immediately, but instead said: "Such a big matter is all tied to someone Zhao. Although it is his responsibility, he also needs to support many brothers."

"In terms of the recent distribution of money, I also hope that brother Meng and you will show your respect and give more to Zhao."

Zhao Lishan was also unambiguous, which was equivalent to directly starting to raise conditions.

Hearing this, Meng Yi also said straightforwardly: "If this matter can be accomplished, I can make the decision. Brother Zhao will get [-]% of the money sent in the future besides rewards."

"I should personally write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor to recommend the position of general. Brother Zhao can also return to the country at any time, and there is no need to lurk in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Lishan heard the words, but said: "There is no need to return to the country. Zhao is in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and he can better serve His Majesty the Emperor."

"As long as the other promises are in place."

Naturally, Meng Yi knew what Zhao Lishan was planning, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhao Lishan was also unambiguous, and immediately got up and started to contact people.

He said that's right, he was indeed responsible for killing the commander of the guard.

This matter has been kept a secret, even the fellow Japanese did not say it, but now is a good opportunity to kill someone with a knife.

After half a stick of incense, Zhao Lishan came to a certain shop in Fangshi.

The place was full of guests and it was extremely lively, but Zhao Lishan knew very well that this was just an appearance.
