Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 66 Beat his mother!

"Old man, this is a matter of the royal family, do you really want to say it?"

Every time he talks about these sensitive topics, Huang Xiongying can't help but be more careful, after all, no matter what era it is in, some things should not be said indiscriminately.

"The old emperor asked us, and we don't know how to reply, so we just want to hear your opinion."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yu, and then said to Huang Xiongying, "Don't worry, not a single sentence of what is said here will be passed on."

"Ah."

Huang Xiongying nodded, no more scruples, and said: "You are right not to reply to the old emperor indiscriminately."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a curious look: "How do you say that?"

Huang Xiongying replied: "Because the prince violated the law, for the old emperor, it is not only a state matter, but also a family matter, and he definitely cannot handle it like an official."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly.

Why do I like to ask his grandson's opinion?It is because his eldest grandson can always hit the key point at once every time.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang look forward to what his grandson would say next.

Just listen to Huang Xiongying continue: "The incident of the prince's disorder has happened before, such as the king of Qin, the king of Jin, and even the king of Yan. They all made mistakes, but at that time the crown prince was still alive, and the crown prince was generous and merciful, and he saved it several times. This also allowed the prince to establish prestige in the hearts of his younger brothers!"

"It's a pity that the crown prince died young. After the crown prince left, no one would go down the steps for the old emperor!"

"The old emperor valued his family the most in his life, but some family members have done the most taboo thing of the old emperor, that is, to harm the people, this is to put the old emperor on the fire, kill it, even if the tiger poison Don't eat children, let alone the old emperor who values ​​his family? Don't kill him, some princes are hard to change, and continue to do harm to the people, so that the old emperor has no account for the subjects of the world!"

"So the old emperor asked your opinion because he wanted to find a way for himself to step down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang could not conceal the shock in his eyes as he listened.

His eldest grandson really spoke in his heart.

When he heard that it was King Qi who was the disaster area, he was extremely furious and wanted to kill him.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned King Qi's biological mother Concubine Da Ding that night, and reprimanded him: "The sons of the former emperors were not talented. They insulted their parents. They were taught but not tamed. Therefore, those who abandon their kindness and kill their sons are out of helplessness!"

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart softened again in the face of the tearful begging of Concubine Da Ding.

For a moment, he really lost his mind.

The pain in this is just like what his grandson said just now.

The matter of King Qi was like a thorn in his heart, which made him sleepless for several nights.

This is the main reason why he came to see his eldest grandson today.

Empress Ma and the prince are gone, and now the only one who can tell him these things is his elder grandson. He certainly hopes that his elder grandson can be like Empress Ma and the prince, and give him an idea, or... Give yourself a step down.

"Dasun, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to ask casually, but in fact he was a little nervous because he hoped that his grandson could give him the answer he wanted.

Huang Xiongying thought for a while and replied: "My grandson thinks that you can go back to the old emperor Hongwu like this and say that King Qi has made meritorious service. Besides, this time there is no actual damage to the disaster relief, and the death penalty can be avoided. The old emperor recalled King Qi to the capital, severely reprimanded him, let King Qi know that he was wrong, that he was afraid, and then punished him a little, without too much investigation, and let King Qi be grateful to the old emperor after he knew his mistake, In the future, I will be able to keep myself safe and be cautious in my words and deeds!"

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with joy, and he said, "You mean, hold it up high, and then put it down gently?"

"Well, that's exactly what my grandson wants!"

Huang Xiongying nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying for a long time, and finally smiled, and said, "Very good! Our eldest grandson's method is very good!"

In fact, Huang Xiongying's method is very similar to his own father Zhu Biao!

It can almost be said to be exactly the same.

Back then, after King Zhu of Jin took over Taiyuan, he did not abide by the law very much and caused many disasters, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry and wanted to punish him for his crimes.

Under the persuasion of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang did not touch this son.

Speaking of which, Zhu Biao handled his younger brothers very well. He was very dignified. After returning to Beijing with Zhu Biao for a period of time, Zhu Biao returned to the feudal domain. He seemed to be a completely different person. According to Jin Yiwei's report: The king of Jin is a self-confessed man, he treats all officials and subordinates with courtesy, and listens respectfully and carefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang got a satisfactory answer.

Huang Xiongying heard the old man's approval, but his face was not happy, and said: "Actually...in fact, this is just a way to cater to the old emperor Hongwu!"

"cater?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flicked together.

He hated others catering to him the most in his life. What does catering mean? It means following his own will. To put it bluntly, it means that the other party still has the same thoughts in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, that's really the case. Isn't what his eldest grandson said just now the answer he has always wanted in his heart?
Is it...

In Dasun's mind, did he want to kill King Qi?
Thinking of this, the joy on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared, and he sank slightly, and asked, "Da Sun, if... I said, if, if you can decide everything, what would you do?"

Again!
This old man is really bold enough to say anything.

Huang Xiongying also began to get used to it, so she stopped in the ink and said, "Sun'er thought that the king of Qi was brave and ruthless, and he took credit for being arrogant, but he was not useless."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, Huang Xiongying's first words were beyond his expectation.

Just listen to Huang Xiongying continue: "When Emperor Hongwu conquered the world, someone once invented a word, arrogant soldier and mighty general. If this word was used in the peaceful and prosperous age, it would be a murderous word, but if it was used on the battlefield, then It becomes a compliment!"

"Why, the environment is different!"

"The same goes for King Qi. He is a fierce general. He cooperated with King Yan's Northern Expedition and hunted in Kaiping. King Qi has shown extraordinary military capabilities!"

"It's such a pity that such a strong general stays in the domain and harms the people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, his eyes were already full of light.

He originally thought that if his grandson wanted to kill King Qi, at worst he would abolish him, but he never thought that his grandson was trying to find a way to revitalize King Qi!

What a great grandson, what a great grandson!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were burning, he just waited for Huang Xiongying to continue talking.

Huang Xiongying continued: "In my opinion, the king of Qi is actually somewhat similar to Lan Yu. They are both brave and ruthless, and they are arrogant. They are fierce by nature, and they are rare fighters on the battlefield. However, once When they leave the battlefield, they will do nothing and act recklessly, just thinking that after fighting for so many years, they can't enjoy themselves?"

"They know nothing but fighting, and they like to kill and fight, so people like them should stay on the battlefield!"

After some words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stop nodding.

For these arrogant soldiers, his feelings are too deep, and he has seen too many examples, and he can't count them on his own hands.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't just listen to it blindly, he was also keenly aware of some of the problems.

He looked at Huang Xiongying, who was talking eloquently, and said slowly: "Dasun, you are very good, but have you ever thought about it? Now that Daming's enemies are in the northwest, in order to deal with them, Daming already has many kings of Sai, and so does King Qi." One of them, our enemy Bei Yuan has already been driven into Mobei, should King Qi go deep into Mobei alone?"

"Besides, the use of soldiers by a country is like a doctor's medicine. You prescribe a lot of medicine, but the ultimate goal is to cure the disease. You can't just take the medicine without any illness. It will be bad for you! The same is true for governing the country. The country is not peaceful. Use soldiers to detect disasters, and when the world is peaceful, you only need to repair the armored soldiers, train the soldiers, and prepare for national defense."

"You can't let the old emperor launch a new campaign for the sake of King Qi and those arrogant soldiers, right? Do you know how much money is needed for a war?"

Zhu Yuanzhang taught earnestly.

His year was Hongwu, and he fought countless battles throughout his life. He was an emperor who really came from horseback. He used military and politics as his main business all his life, but he was an emperor who used troops cautiously!

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Huang Xiongying replied calmly: "Grandpa, the Hu Rong in the Northwest has a long history. It can be said that it has been a war for generations. It is right for Ming to guard against them."

"But, apart from the northwest, is the world really peaceful in Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by Huang Xiongying's rhetorical question, showing a thoughtful expression.

Huang Xiongying continued: "Grandpa, you don't need to tell your grandson, you should know that the southeast coast of Daming is actually not peaceful!"

"Since the establishment of our Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have invaded the coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty. From Liaodong, Shandong to Guangdong's long coastline, island bandits and Japanese barbarians have plundered everywhere, and the coastal residents have suffered greatly!"

"If my grandson remembers correctly, in the second year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates invaded Shandong, Suzhou, Huai'an and other places on a large scale. A serious invasion incident of looting into the coastal counties and counties of Fujian!"

"In recent years, Japanese pirates have become more and more intrusive. From Shandong in the north to Fujian and Guangdong in the south, they have been looted everywhere."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Huang Xiongying and nodded slowly.

Good boy, come prepared!
Huang Xiongying continued: "Although the imperial court built [-] cities on the sea, recruited the people as soldiers, and achieved some results in preventing the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese pirates are far from eliminated!"

"The plague of Japanese pirates seems to have little impact on the foundation of the Ming Dynasty at present, but think about it, Grandpa, it is based on the strength of our Ming Dynasty and the emphasis on coastal defense construction. Once the tiger of our Ming Dynasty takes a nap, Those rats will push their noses on their faces and become more and more rampant, and it will take a lot of effort to get rid of these rats!"

"Just like what you said just now, the country's use of soldiers is like a doctor's medicine. Why don't you just prescribe medicine to cure him at the beginning of the disease? If you wait until the disease is terminal and spend several times the amount of medicine, you don't know if it will be effective!"

Gollum!

Jiang Yu swallowed subconsciously.

Good guy, the grandson of the emperor is here to teach the old emperor a lesson!
If you want to move, but you are afraid of disturbing the happy father and two, please continue to sit down, and you are afraid of hearing something you shouldn't hear.

Fortunately, the two of them seem to have forgotten their own existence.

Jiang Yu, who usually makes countless people tremble with fear, now only feels like a poor piece of paper, being blown and ravaged by the storm...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying in shock.

His eldest grandson actually used his words to teach himself a lesson.And it makes sense, so I can't refute it.

In particular, Dasun said that if he does not handle it properly, he will leave infinite disasters for future generations, which has to arouse his deep thinking.

He hasn't felt this way for many years.

Since Ma Yatou left, his eldest grandson was the second person he was willing to listen to. Zhu Biao, who he thought was the most perfect successor, had never done it.

After looking at Huang Xiongying for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly.

Huang Xiongying continued: "The plague of Japanese pirates has brought great pain and disaster to the common people along the coast. It must be cured!"

Hearing Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's whole face sank, and he spat out two words through his teeth: "You should be killed!"

Huang Xiongying said: "So, instead of letting the king of Qi harm his own people, why not let the king of Qi go to suppress the bandits, I believe that with the methods of the king of Qi, the Japanese bandits will know what pain and disaster are, and how powerful our Ming Dynasty is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He knew the temperament of King Zhu of Qi. When he was 15 years old, he still took pleasure in killing pigeons and burning young sparrows alive.But the results were not significant.

It is really suitable for him to deal with these ferocious Japanese pirates.

but……

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Letting King Qi deal with the Japanese pirates along the coast is indeed a good idea, but it's a lot of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about how much silver is in the treasury.

Take this disaster relief as an example, without the mirror given by his grandson, he would not know where to find the money. The Ming Dynasty seems to be thriving, but the treasury is really not rich!

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has always wanted to make good friends with neighboring countries and oppose militarism.

"otherwise."

Huang Xiongying shook his head, and asked back: "Grandfather, do you know how the soldiers of King Qi's domain are doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and replied: "When the old emperor was dealing with the Yunnan issue, he moved the Dali Duan family, which had been prominent for hundreds of years, to the inland, and its leaders, Pingzhang Duanshi and Xuanwei Duanming, were moved to Qingzhou. Serve in King Qi's army."

"King Qi is on the ground in Shandong, and he can be called an elite soldier. If I remember correctly, the total number of guards including the commander of the Shandong capital and the left guard of Qingzhou is close to 7, and the soldiers are very strong!"

Hearing the old man's answer, Huang Xiongying smiled, and said: "If the imperial court asks King Qi to suppress the bandits this time, it doesn't really need to spend too much money. For one thing, King Qi made a mistake in Qingzhou, and he will make up for it. Opportunity, secondly, the imperial court can promise the king of Qi that although the army will not be paid, the property, captives and other spoils obtained from the suppression of the bandits can be disposed of by the king of Qi, so that the king of Qi can support the war with war!"

"In this way, with King Qi's temperament, he will definitely do his best to suppress the bandits and restore peace to the people along the coast. At the same time, King Qi can also show his strengths and make military exploits, and the old emperor Hongwu can also do well. Place the King of Qi."

"One kill three birds with one stone, why not do it?"

After hearing Huang Xiongying's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

His eldest grandson's means far exceeded his imagination!
This temperament is not like his father Zhu Biao, but more like himself...and Yan Wang Zhu Di!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has experienced decades of ups and downs, sees the problem equally profoundly, and pointed out sharply: "But what if the Japanese pirates are put down? Wouldn't the king of Qi be more powerful and arrogant? If the old emperor is gone, It’s not easy to suppress him!”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Huang Xiongying a meaningful look.

Huang Xiongying smiled calmly, and said: "Then let King Qi beat him to his hometown in the country of Wa, and beat his mother!"

Bang!

The bowl in Jiang Yu's hand fell to the ground...
