The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 672
Annan was in turmoil.

No one would have thought that the great grandson of Ming Dynasty would be so ruthless and directly wash the royal capital with blood.

Song Zhong led a thousand Jinyi guards, and almost visited all the princes and ministers in the city.

Not all of them were killed, those people who had a heart for Daming naturally had to stay.

"Okay, this is what our eldest grandson looks like. After so many years, we thought you had changed your temper and couldn't match the situation in the Western Regions."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud. He was very happy to see the grandson killing him.

Originally, at the very beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to stop the chaos by killing and quickly pacify Annan.

Now that Da Sun has done this, it is very much in line with his wishes.

There are rebellions everywhere in Annan. Although they are all scenes of small fights, no one supports or believes behind them.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the capital of Annan King was the culprit.

It's just that there is no evidence for many things.

There is no way to find evidence in a messy environment.

Don't look at the 10,000+ army suppressing Annan now, but there are millions of people in Annan's territory.

If the 10,000+ Ming army is scattered, it will be a drop in the bucket. It is better to gather together to guard the east and west capitals of Annan, guard the Red River Plain, and occupy the granary here.

"Now the source here is extinguished, but the local army is a hidden danger after all, and it can only be slowly flattened."

Zhu Ying analyzed and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked: "We heard from Yueqing earlier that grandson has already made arrangements for this."

Zhu Ying replied: "There is an immature idea. This method was also proposed by Yueqing, which is to make Mu Yue pregnant, and then use her name to reintegrate Annan's local forces."

"Those who refused to surrender completely, they sent troops to pacify them directly. This way, there will be a lot fewer targets."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while after hearing the words, and agreed: "It's a good idea. It's not a big problem for Annan, but we can't stay here for too long."

"The time is a little tight now, you have to hurry up, grandson."

Even though she is the father of several children, Zhu Ying still feels somewhat embarrassed to be ridiculed by the old man like this.

In the next few days, Zhu Ying didn't care about other things, the main thing was making a man with Chen Muyue.

Fortunately, it probably happened on the way. Chen Muyue had a pregnancy reaction, and after the imperial doctor checked her pulse, she was sure she was pregnant.

As soon as she was pregnant, Zhu Ying immediately held a big banquet to announce the news.

The plan is implemented.

At this time, what I want to do is to find a spokesperson.

Chen Shiping.

A member of the Annan royal family, but his life is not very easy.

Because he is just an illegitimate child.

No matter in Daming or Annan, the status of illegitimate children is difficult to be recognized.

"It's good to die. This bastard should have died a long time ago. Calculated in this way, it can be regarded as revenge for my mother."

Chen Shiping's father was executed by Song Zhong. Not only was Chen Shiping not sad when he got the news, but he laughed.

His mother was just a maidservant. Because she gave birth to him illegitimately, his father's wife held a grudge and sent someone to beat him to death.

Chen Shiping was seven years old when his mother was beaten to death.

He saw with his own eyes that his so-called father stood there without doing anything, watching his mother being beaten to death.

Even after being beaten to death, they were ordered to have a hasty burial.

They didn't let him enter the mansion either, but threw him to a servant to take care of him, and never asked him again since then.

His adoptive father was a man slave, and the irony is that when he was 16 years old, he was beaten to death by his so-called half-brother because of some trivial matters.

Chen Shiping has been forbearing. It seems that there is no other way but to become an official. Fortunately, he has obtained fame.

Perhaps his father realized that his son was not bad, so he greeted him and let him enter the Imperial College.

But he has never been assigned an official position, so he has been in the Imperial College for ten years.

Chen Shiping also prepared a series of revenge plans.

It's just that before I came to remember to implement it, I found that the enemies I thought about day and night were all executed just like that.

"Chen Shiping, come along."

Inside the Imperial College, Daming Jinyiwei came to the door and greeted Chen Shiping.

Seeing the two ferocious Jinyiwei, Chen Shiping paused in his heart and smiled wryly.

He had already thought that his illegitimate child would probably be implicated as well.

In the past days, many students from the Imperial College had already been executed, and now it was finally my turn.

Without hesitation at the moment, under the watchful eyes of other students, he followed Jin Yiwei and left.

"Hey, why does this direction feel a little wrong?"

Chen Shiping, who silently followed Jin Yiwei, suddenly found that the road he was walking now seemed to be going to the palace.

"Are you still going to be executed in the palace?"

With a numb expression, Chen Shiping followed Jin Yiwei and walked in until he stopped in front of a palace.

"What are you doing in a daze, go in quickly." Jin Yiwei scolded.

Chen Shiping was a little confused, and subconsciously asked: "Where is this place, can I still be buried in the palace?"

Jin Yiwei immediately said: "This is the residence of His Highness the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty. It is His Highness the Grandson who summoned you. Hurry up and don't keep His Highness waiting."

Chen Shiping was shocked.

It was the grandson of Ming Dynasty who summoned him.

Immediately followed the eunuch in front into the palace.

After entering, Chen Shiping did not dare to raise his head, and immediately knelt down to salute: "Chen Shiping, a student of the Imperial College, pays homage to His Royal Highness, Grandson of the Kingdom of Heaven."

In the first place, Zhu Ying was flipping through a volume of books, when he heard a voice raised his head slightly, he said with a smile: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

Immediately, an eunuch brought a chair over.

Chen Shiping was so flattered that he dared not sit down.

Zhu Ying didn't force it, but just raised the book in her hand and said: "These three volumes of Taiping are written by you."

Hearing the third volume of Taiping, Chen Shiping hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, it is written by students."

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "It's well written. I like some of the ideas here. Now that Annan's talents are withering, it is just that people with ideas like you are needed to enter the officialdom."

Originally, Chen Shiping was going to be implicated and killed, but Song Zhong felt a little strange.

Because Chen Shiping, as a child of the royal family, had actually been in the Guozijian for ten years and had never held an official position.

So I investigated.

The matter of Chen Shiping is not a secret in the Guozijian, just a few random people will know all about it.

Song Zhong was also considered half a scholar, and got the three volumes of Taiping according to the clues he gave. After reading it, he felt that there was no need to kill Chen Shiping, so he passed the news to his grandson.

The three volumes of Taiping mainly talk about social contradictions in Annan.

The general idea is that members of the Annan royal family have controlled too much power and wealth, which has seriously affected the royal power, and even interfered with Annan's laws at will, bullying men and women, and running rampant in the city.

Pointing out that members of the royal family colluded with the local army and embezzled the taxes that originally belonged to the country, which has become a cancer of the Annan Kingdom.

Then there are some ways to gradually weaken the royal family.

These methods are obviously relatively naive.

Back then, when he played the three volumes of Taiping, his father stopped him, and at the same time he was thrown in the Imperial College without being promoted.

Zhu Ying was looking for the leader of Chen Muyue's faction.

I felt that Chen Shiping was not bad.

He was able to write such articles ten years ago, so his talent and learning are naturally good. At the same time, he belongs to the Annan royal family, and his status is also passable.

Besides, I can't find a suitable one for the time being, so let's make a decision first.

Chen Shiping was naturally overjoyed at the recruitment of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty, and kowtowed repeatedly.

There is no need for Zhu Ying to arrange the specific details, and someone will teach them later.

Chen Shiping is very sensible and understands his own position.

The next day he was promoted to Annan's new prime minister.

It sounds exaggerated, but sometimes it is so casual.

In fact, the current Annan court can be said to be in disarray. Most of the old officials were involved in the treason case and were dealt with, and the rest were only two or three cats.

The honorable class in the royal capital was cleaned up easily, but those who had some military power in their hands were basically buried in the dirt.

In such a situation, Chen Shiping was handpicked by the grandson of the Ming Dynasty as the prime minister, and naturally no one stood up to refute it.

The next step is to deal with the localities, those chieftains and local warlords.

These are Chen Shiping's future tasks, and now he is setting up his own party in the name of the child in Chen Muyue's womb.

It's not about fighting alone, Zhu Ying will naturally arrange a lot of Ming troops to assist.

The main thing is that the command of the [-] imperial guards in the capital of Annan fell into the hands of Chen Shiping.

This caused Chen Shiping, who had been silent for ten years, to suddenly have a scene of overwhelming arrogance.

Of course Zhu Ying will have some dark hands.

Chen Shiping had no one around him before, so now he is surrounded by Zhu Ying's eyeliner, whether it's the housekeeper, servants, or guards.

Including the [-] imperial guards, the middle-level officers have been replaced long ago.

If Chen Shiping has any other ideas, he only needs an order to come over, and his head will fall to the ground.

Besides, Zhu Gaochi is still here, and naturally controls more military power than Chen Shiping.

"Brother, Chen Shiping seems to be a little bewildered these days."

Zhu Gaochi said with a sigh.

It has been half a month since Chen Shiping was appointed prime minister.

Although this guy is from Annan, he has no scruples at all after taking power.

There were those who were disobedient, and there was no investigation at all, and they were framed with one hand, and they tried to kill them in prison.

Especially for the former nobles of the royal family, they don't show any sympathy.

Zhu Ying sipped tea and replied with a smile: "He has lived in hatred for half his life, and it is normal to have such a character."

"However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the targets he attacked are not good things. If I didn't worry that these nobles of the royal family would fight back too much and cause turmoil in Annan, I would have asked Song Zhong to deal with them."

"With Chen Shiping's hand, it is naturally much more convenient. After all, he is also a member of the royal family. In the eyes of the local warlords, this is a partisan struggle within Annan, no matter how tragic it is."

"Of course, Chen Shiping has to figure out how to measure it himself. If he makes people angry, he will find the consequences himself."

When Zhu Gaochi heard the words, he immediately understood the elder brother's arrangement.

Annan's biggest problem lies in the local army, chieftain.

Many of these tribes lived in the jungle, and it was very troublesome even for the Ming army to encircle and suppress them.

It's okay that most of the chieftains are civilians, but the local army has regular drills.

The Ming army can be suppressed, but if they really want to rebel everywhere, they will fall into the quagmire of war.

At present, the people who migrated from the Ming Dynasty basically came to the Red River Plain, and it was difficult for them to adapt to the miasma-filled environment of the jungle. This also caused a big problem in the management and control of the jungle.

Now, everything that involves the jungle area is basically handed over to Chen Shiping.

The nobles of the Annan royal family in the capital are almost dead, but there are remnants in the capital, including some other places.

Chen Shiping's main purpose was to fight against them.

Zhu Ying is not a person who unloads donkeys and kills mills. If Chen Shiping can achieve the desired effect, he doesn't mind having such a person.

After all, Annan also needs to develop in order to better provide food supply for Daming.

After staying for more than half a month, the team on the southern tour should start again.

Next stop, Champa.

Champa is very close to Annan, and the news of the southern tour has already spread.

Among them, Zhu Yunqi was the happiest.

I saw my cousin Li Jinglong a few days ago, and now Grandpa Huang is here too, how can I not be happy.

Just thinking of facing his elder brother, Zhu Yunqi felt a little strange feeling in his heart.

He didn't really want to see his big brother.

Since I came to Champa, some of my previous ideas have also changed.

'If the eldest brother didn't return to the capital, then I should be the grandson. '

Zhu Yunqi often misses the prosperity of the capital. After all, compared to the capital, Wuli is a place of barbaric exile.

Without the oppression of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying, Zhu Yunqi felt better about himself, as if he was not so afraid of his elder brother.

Such a change in mentality is because Zhu Yunqi had never felt specific power before.

And when it came to Wuli, everything was under his arrangement. This kind of experience has never been experienced in the capital.

When he was in the capital, Zhu Yunqi had too many scruples.

For example, etiquette, manners, homework and so on.

In front of the emperor's grandfather, he was respectful and cautious, and in front of the elder brother, he was cautious.

Looking back now, it seems that I have been living in the court with my tail between my legs.

Until Wuli came here, no one could control him anymore.

Do whatever you want, get up when you want, and reprimand directly if you are not satisfied, and there will be no judges to make irresponsible remarks.

Relying on the economy of sea trade, the taxation in the feudal kingdom is very good, the products here are rich, and there are no disasters or anything.

With [-] elite soldiers in hand, plus his status as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about it.

Therefore, the current Zhu Yunqi can be said to be more and more presumptuous.

How much you were suppressed in the past, how open you are now.

If it wasn't for the presence of Mrs. Lu, I'm afraid he would have let himself go completely.

In this way, Zhu Yunqi's expectations for the arrival of the Southern Patrol Army suddenly dimmed a lot.
