Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 143 The Prince is My Eternal Safe Haven

Zhu Di's suspicion was not without reason.

Bai Dongfang is a chieftain, but he married his granddaughter to another place.

It stands to reason that he should find a young man from the Li nationality to be his son-in-law.

Not only that, but he also reminded Wan Wan not to come back in the future, nothing to do with it.

Even the son-in-law recruited may not necessarily know the basics.

For example, Zhu Qiba, apart from telling a little bit about his background when he signed up, he didn't even register or ask where his home address is.

This is not marrying a granddaughter, it is clearly sending the granddaughter out to avoid disaster.

But Zhu Qi didn't quite believe that the culprit was rebellion.

If it was really a rebellion, Bai Tang Yu'er should not be the one who should be sent away, but her daughter should also be sent away.

Besides, as I mentioned before, Bai Dongfang, as a chieftain, has the same rights as the Tu Emperor in the area where the Li people gather.

First, there is no court official jurisdiction, second, he will not issue orders to him, and third, there is no such thing as tax collection.

Do you want to rebel like this?

What's more, there are not many people under Bai Dongfang.

The only explanation for this is that the problem is not with Bai Dongfang, but with Bai Tang Yuer.

Either Bai Tang Yu'er was the culprit and they rushed to send him away. This possibility is not high.

Judging from the degree to which Bai Dongfang doted on Bai Tang Yu'er, even if it was a disaster, Bai Dongfang could take care of it.

Either that, Bai Dongfang really wanted to do it, but he really couldn't do it, so he wanted to save Bai Tang Yuer and send Bai Tang Yuer away.

Send it to a place that even the Li people don't know, so that even if someone comes to look for Bai Tang Yu'er, there will be no clues to find it.

There are so many rich businessmen surnamed Tang in the vast crowd, should they all be arrested?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Qi felt that the possibility was very high, so he called Bai Tang Yuer over and explained the details.

In fact, Bai Tang Yu'er has already realized that the customs and traditions are a bit untenable, and she once asked her family members.

But the family members were unwilling to say anything, they only told her to take good care of her husband and raise her children after she got married, and specifically told her not to come back after getting married, saying that it was the rule of married girls and so on.

It seems that even Bai Tang Yu'er couldn't ask about things, Zhu Qi asked by himself, and nine out of ten he would not have a clue.

But considering that the other party was so shy about the background of the Ming government, Zhu Qi thought for a while whether it was related to the government.

If it really has something to do with the government, that would be fine, the government's affairs are their own affairs, as long as it's not murder, arson, or crime, it's easy to deal with.

Zhu Qi then sent Gao Jin back to Chengdu alone to check with the prefect Lu to see if there was any case of Chongshanzhai.

Coincidentally, this Gao Jin had just returned to Chengdu to inquire about this matter, and the prefect Lu immediately talked about it when he heard that it was about Chongshan Village.

Just a few days ago, after His Royal Highness King Liao left, there was an urgent official letter from Zhu Liangzu, Governor of Yunnan.

It is said that the Chongshan Village in Bashu was discovered, and there was a major suspicion of rebellion. In the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, some remnants who claimed to be King Xiaoming's subordinates and wanted to oppose Daming were captured.

According to their confessions, in this Chongshan village in Bashu, there are probably people who have a very close relationship with King Xiao Ming.

Speaking of King Xiao Ming, we have to mention a bizarre shipwreck that happened on the eve of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had already won the Central Plains at that time, for so many years, he defeated Dayuan, Zhang Shicheng, and Chen Youliang, all relying on his own strength.

But in name, Zhu Yuanzhang still used the name of Song Dynasty, that is, the subordinate of Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er.

If King Xiaoming Han Lin'er came to Yingtian Mansion alive, no matter whether he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang or continued to let King Xiaoming be the co-lord of the world.

No one will agree to this matter.

So everyone unanimously discussed and decided that something happened along the way, that's right, the boat that Liao Yongzhong escorted Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er sank halfway, and after that, Xiao Ming Wang was buried in the belly of a fish.

Now Xiaoming Wang Han Liner's remnant party unexpectedly appeared!He was even close to Prince Xiaoming.

How intimate is that?Son?

After hearing about this incident, the local commander-in-chief has personally led the troops to Chongshan Village. If there are really people close to King Yu Xiaoming, then how to deal with it is hard to say.

Mostly, without saying a word, killing it once, it is impossible to keep such a hot potato for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with.

Just like what Liao Yongzhong did to Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er back then.

As soon as Gao Jin heard this, he immediately knew that something was wrong. According to the calculation of time, the Ming army might have led troops to Chongshan village soon.

In terms of the defense level of Chongshanzhai, how can it be the opponent of the regular army.

If this thing killed someone, it would be a serious matter for Daming's soldiers on the one hand and Princess Liao's natal family on the other.

Gao Jin didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately stepped on his horse and headed towards His Highness King Liao.

At this time Zhu Qi had arrived at the ferry, ready to wait for Gao Jin to come back, if there was nothing urgent.

They took Bai Tang Yu'er and the others out of the ferry together, and went down the river to Yingtian Mansion.

In the end, after only waiting for a day, he saw the dusty Gao Jin and hurried back.

As soon as he saw Gao Jin's appearance, Zhu Qi knew that something serious was going on. Sure enough, when he heard that King Xiao Ming was involved in Chongshan Village, Zhu Qi's scalp went numb.

Everything can be discussed, but about Xiao Ming Wang's matter, it is absolutely not negotiable.

Which emperor would sit back and watch his imperial power be threatened by the slightest?
Zhu Qi didn't care too much, and hurried back to Chongshan village with a group of people.

As for whether Bai Tang Yu'er had a relationship with Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, Zhu Qi thought that it couldn't be Han Lin'er's daughter, right?

If that's the case, it's a bit too bloody.

What's more, with Zhu Yuanzhang's meticulous mind and Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er's mediocre performance in history, it is impossible to hide his daughter, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know about it.

You know, the Jinyiwei that appeared during the Hongwu period was the originator of Ming Dynasty's spy politics.

Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely very good at intelligence work.

It seems that if you want to know the details behind this matter, you still have to ask Tang Xiaozu, Bai Tang Yuer's father, in detail.

But right now, we still have to come forward to resolve this conflict.

--------

Chong Shanzhai.

Bai Dongfang sat in the round castle, surrounded by some elders of the Li nationality.

At this time, their faces were full of worry.

Outside the round fort, the Weisuo Ming army from Bashu had already surrounded the round fort.

The leader of this Ming army is naturally the Chengdu General Soldier.

At this time, the Ming army was not in a hurry to attack, but was cutting down everywhere, making siege equipment, and it was impossible to say when the attack would start.

One of the elders looked at Bai Dongfang with some anxiety, and said:
"Patriarch, why did these Ming troops come here, and why did they mention the remnants of King Ming? We have nothing to do with King Ming."

The other elders also nodded one after another, and looked at Bai Dongfang worriedly.

Bai Dongfang sighed and said:
"Speaking of this matter, it was all because of me, and you and the clansmen are all innocent.

Forget it, it's been so many years, and I can't hide. "

The rest of the elders were taken aback, looked at Bai Dongfang in surprise and asked:
"Patriarch, you are really the remnants of King Xiaoming."

Bai Dongfang smiled wryly, and said:

"I haven't left Bashu for so many years, how can I be the remnant of King Xiaoming?

Forget it, you don’t need to know that much, I will take care of this matter alone. "

Bai Dongfang was about to go outside when Tang Xiaozu stood up beside him and said:
"Father, if not, why don't you talk to the government?"

Bai Dongfang shook his head, and Tang Xiaozu also understood that when this kind of matter was involved, it was hard to say clearly.

Bai Dongfang sighed and said:
"Hey, it's just a little slow after all, otherwise you and Tweety can also run out, that's fine."

Bai Cui'er is Bai Dongfang's daughter and also Bai Tang Yu'er's mother.

After Bai Dongfang finished speaking, he turned his head resolutely, obviously he was ready to die.

But before Bai Dongfang took two steps, he saw a clansman running over in a hurry, shouting overjoyed:

"Patriarch! Patriarch! Those officers and soldiers have retreated!"

Bai Dongfang was taken aback, and the people behind him also looked confused. They had made a gesture of attacking the round castle earlier, why did they retreat all of a sudden?
Just listen to the clansman continue to say:

"It seems that Mr. Tang persuaded the officers and soldiers to retreat, and Mr. Tang is outside at this time and wants to come in."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaozu was stunned, what's going on?
What else could be going on, of course Zhu Qi came to save the situation at a critical moment.

As soon as this Chengdu general soldier heard that he had something to do with King Xiaoming, he brought his troops over as if he had been beaten to death.

Fortunately, before the fight started, Zhu Qi arrived in time, and first scolded the Chengdu General Soldier.

This chieftain of the Ming Dynasty, without the order of the court, can move at will?
I, King Zhu Qi of the Liao Dynasty, is the governor of Bashu defense who the emperor personally accepts. Without my order, the guards can also be transferred at will?
The general soldiers in Chengdu are all stupid and feel wronged. Didn't you go back to Yingtian Mansion, His Highness King Liao?Then, as the commander in chief of Chengdu, it is only natural for me to deploy the soldiers of the guard to arrest the remnants of the party related to King Xiaoming.

Zhu Qi slapped the table on the spot and scolded him.

Still talking nonsense, what do you mean I responded to Tianfu, am I still here?

Also, how could Xiaoming Wang be called Yu Dang!
When King Xiao Ming died in a lake due to an accident, my father cried bitterly for several days and nights, and finally, under the strong request of everyone, reluctantly ascended to the throne and changed the name of the country to Daming.

What is it for? It is to prevent chaos in the world!
You're fine, it's Xiaoming Wang Yudang, what do you mean?

My Emperor Ming, could it be that he assassinated King Xiaoming to become the emperor?

Although the matter of King Xiao Ming is already an open secret, whoever dares to say so these days would be doubting the orthodox status of Ming Dynasty.

The General Soldier of Chengdu is also stupid. It is said that the most nervous about this matter should be the royal family like King Liao, but looking at His Highness King Liao's righteous expression, it is obvious that he does not regard the lineage of King Xiaoming as a traitor. .

But since His Royal Highness Liao Wang has already said so, the Chengdu General Army has no reason to continue to besiege the Round Fort, and with the order of His Royal Highness Liao Wang, he dare not attack by force.

When Zhu Qi saw the general soldier in front of him, he was bluffed and frightened by himself, so he had no intention of attacking.

This was a sigh of relief.

Then he brought Gao Jin and others over, the Chengdu commander was scared to death, if it really had something to do with King Xiao Ming, wouldn't it be dangerous for His Highness King Liao to go in?

But Zhu Qi didn't care, he just ordered him to wait in place as King Liao. With so many martial arts masters around him protecting him, what else could happen?

As for Bai Dongfang, Tang Xiaozu and the others were the remnants of King Xiao Ming, and they planned to rebel against such a thing, Zhu Qi at most believed the first half of the sentence, let's forget about the second half.

In the two or three days before in the village of the Li people, they sang and danced all day long, living a carefree life. Have you ever seen such a leisurely and leisurely life as someone who wants to rebel?

But you still have to ask about King Xiao Ming. If you don't ask, you and Zhu Yuanzhang can't explain it.

Zhu Liangzu will definitely tell Zhu Yuanzhang about this.

Seeing that it was Zhu Qi who was coming, the Li people naturally opened the gate of the round castle and welcomed Zhu Qi, Bai Tang Yu'er and others in.

Seeing that Bai Tang Yu'er was fine, Bai Cui'er immediately grabbed Bai Tang Yu'er's hand and started crying.

Bai Tang Yu'er didn't want to cry at first, but when she saw her mother crying, she started crying too.

So this woman knows how to cry when she encounters something. What's the use of crying?

Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu didn't cry, they dragged Zhu Qi and asked what was going on, didn't they tell you to leave and don't come back in the future, why did you come back after only two days?

Zhu Qi stopped acting, and cupped his hands at Bai Dongfang, Tang Xiaozu, and the elders of the Li nationality, and said:
"To be honest, I am not Young Master Tang Qi of Ying Tianfu's Tang family.

I am Zhu Qi, King of Liao in the Ming Dynasty. "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, the hall was shocked and uproarious. When they first heard the first half of the sentence, everyone thought Zhu Qi was just calling in.

Then came a sentence, which really frightened me silly.

Everyone in front of him looked like they couldn't speak anymore, and Zhu Qi could more or less predict their reaction.

Bai Tang Yu'er also said at this time:
"Grandfather! Parents, what is the matter with you? Why are you still related to King Xiaoming? Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, how can His Highness King Liao help you?"

Bai Dongfang hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Your Highness is a member of the Zhu family. If we really have a great relationship with King Xiao Ming, His Highness won't deal with us?"

Zhu Qi said with a smile:

"My grandfather, I have known Bai Tang Yu'er for almost a whole year, and now we are husband and wife, what am I going to do to you?
Besides, this Little Ming King is not my Daming's enemy, you all just think that this Little Ming King is what the current Emperor of Ming said.

You are from the lineage of Prince Xiao Ming, so you will also be implicated, right? "

Bai Dongfang nodded calmly, but the fact is that this is the end of the matter, and whether he admits it or not is not very important.

Zhu Qi then explained, saying:

"This is all people in the world, you have misunderstood my father!

It is indeed possible that Liao Yongzhong killed King Xiaoming, but it is not certain whether my father ordered King Xiaoming to be killed.

Many years ago, my father, the emperor, made a great meritorious official and said something like this:

When Yongzhong fought against Poyang, he forgot his body and resisted the enemy. He was a strange man.However, let the good Confucian scholars see my intentions and confer titles, so it is unfair to stop the title of Marquis.

Liao Yongzhong has many military exploits, but he was only granted the title of Marquis, because he sank the boat of King Xiao Ming on his own initiative, and my father was angry, so he was only given the title of Marquis.

If my father really wanted to kill King Xiao Ming, many years ago, when Chen Youliang attacked Shou County, where King Xiao Ming was stationed, my father only had to watch from the sidelines, and he would have killed King Xiao Ming by Chen Youliang.

Why bother?
So I dare to guarantee that even if you have a lot to do with King Xiao Ming's lineage, my royal father will never do anything to you. "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, what he said was well-founded.

Everyone in front of them seemed convinced.

Judging from the overall historical situation of Zhu Qi's own descendants, to be honest, even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't order to do something, he should have acquiesced.

Judging from the strength of Zhu Yuanzhang's control over his subordinates, Liao Yongzhong would not have dared to do something like killing Xiao Ming Wang without Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang already had absolute control over the world. Does Liao Yongzhong still need a yellow robe?

But that's all, Zhu Yuanzhang has never liquidated Han Lin'er's lineage.

Of course, it is also true that his lineage had no direct bloodlines.

After Zhu Qi said this, Bai Dongfang sighed and began to talk about the past.

The story is not long and not complicated, but it begins with the murder of Han Shantong, Han Liner's father.

At that time, the struggle for power in troubled times established by Han Shantong claimed that he was the eighth grandson of Song Huizong and should be in charge of the Central Plains.

Killing the white horse and the black cow, swearing to the world, plotting to raise an army, and decided to use the red scarf as the name, which is the famous Red Scarf Army.

Under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and claiming to be a descendant of Song Huizong, of course, it was under the great care of the Great Yuan.

In the 11th year of Zhengzhou, Han Shantong was killed by the Yuan Dynasty, and Han Liner and his mother Yang temporarily hid.

Later, Han Lin'er was found by Liu Futong and others, and he was supported as the second emperor of the New Song Dynasty.

But this emperor did not go well, it can be said that he was very aggrieved.

In the third year of Longfeng, Chahan Timur, Li Siqi and others defeated the Red Scarf Army. Han Liner and his mother Yang who beat them ran away with buckets again and disappeared in Bashu.

In that year, the two ran to Bai Dongfang's territory. Seeing that the two were pitiful, Bai Dongfang took them in.

At that time, Yang asked her youngest daughter, Han Cuier, to recognize the childless Bai Dongfang as her godfather, and Han Liner also said that she would repay Bai Dongfang's kindness if she had the opportunity in the future.

It was only later that Bai Dongfang found out that the person he took in was actually Han Lin'er, the emperor of the new Song Dynasty!

But at that time, Bai Dongfang had been taking care of his goddaughter Han Cuier for many years, and even changed her surname to Bai, and even recruited a husband-in-law from the famous Tang family in Bashu, Tang Xiaozu.

This is also the reason why Bai Cui'er married a man from the Li nationality.

Bai Cui'er is a Han woman herself, marrying a Li man is not only in line with clan rules, but also because she is worried that Bai Cui'er will not adapt.

I thought Han Lin'er would come to pick up his sister, but everyone knew what happened next.

Han Lin'er has no ability at all, and he has no rights. The Red Scarf Army under his command only superficially regard him as the master, and fight on their own under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated all kinds of powerful enemies one after another, so there was nothing wrong with Han Lin'er.

When Bai Dongfang heard that Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er had drowned in a ship, he knew that his goddaughter's identity must not be revealed casually.

And Bai Cui'er didn't want to hurt Tang Xiaozu and Bai Dongfang, she originally wanted to leave by herself, but was later found by Bai Dongfang.

Tang Xiaozu didn't know it from the beginning, and he went to Bai Dongfang's side to find Bai Cui'er.

But after being scolded by Bai Dongfang and scolded away, Tang Xiaozu didn't know Bai Cuier's true identity until many years later.

Knowing the cause and effect of what happened back then, it turned out that his wife begged Bai Dongfang to scold him away because she didn't want to drag him down.

After Tang Xiaozu knew the truth of the matter, he immediately came back to look for Bai Dongfang, who originally wanted to drive him away.

But when Tang Xiaozu said Bai Cui'er's real identity like this, Bai Dongfang knew that the old trick would not work.

Tang Xiaozu also said, if you just hide their mother and daughter like this, there are not no people outside who have served King Xiaoming, or who want to do something under the banner of King Xiaoming.

Even I have a way to find out Bai Cui'er's true identity, and they will know sooner or later.

Although Bai Dongfang is a chieftain of the Li nationality, but this chieftain is not large, and he doesn't have many connections in Daming.

The Tang family is different, they have many connections, and if they work hard at that time, they may be able to hide it for a lifetime.

So they found Zhang Sanfeng, took Bai Tang Yu'er as his apprentice, let her follow Zhang Sanfeng, firstly to practice skills, secondly, to have a master-student relationship, and those who covet Bai Tang Yuer's identity in the future should also weigh more.

As for Bai Cui'er, Tang Xiaozu planned to take her to Chengdu after Bai Tang Yu'er settled down.

Relying on the strength of the Tang family, there shouldn't be too many problems.

The plan was great, but the implementation went awry.

For example, Bai Tang Yuer ran away.

Although Zhang Sanfeng went after him, but seeing Bai Tang Yu'er so restless, Tang Xiaozu, like most parents, thought that he would be able to settle down a bit after getting married.

Simply find some sons of rich merchants to help Bai Tang Yuer choose a husband, as long as the family is rich, can be a regular wife, and have good conduct.

It sounds like a lot to ask, but for the background of Bai Dongfang and Tang Xiaozu, this is not too high.

So there was Zhu Qi participating in the competition, and there was also the matter of martial arts and literary combat.

It's just that Zhu Liangzu also got the news, and the officers and soldiers acted so quickly.

Zhu Liangzu probably woke up laughing from his dreams, thinking that he had made such a great contribution, so maybe Zhu Yuanzhang would reward him well.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qi, the king of Liao, came out on the way and had his beard cut off.

After Zhu Qi heard the ins and outs, he had to say that it was a long and tortuous story.

However, Bai Tang Yu'er was not King Xiaoming's biological daughter, but his biological niece.

The most important thing is that Bai Tang Yu'er is now his own woman, so this is really a great thing.

Bai Dongfang and the others were still at a loss, but when they saw Zhu Qi suddenly burst out laughing.

I heard His Royal Highness Liao Wang say:
"Where is this a disaster? This is clearly a happy event!"

Tang Xiaozu hurriedly asked:
"Here, where does the joy come from?"

Zhu Qi said unhurriedly:
"Because Bai Tang Yu'er and I are already married, this little Ming king's lineage is now my Daming's daughter-in-law. From then on, the Han family and my Zhu family have become close friends of Qin and Jin.

Even those villains who secretly hoped to use the Han family to do something, probably would never be able to make a difference again. "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized.

This... seems to be a good thing.

But when Zhu Qi said this, he just wanted to stabilize Bai Dongfang and the others, and they couldn't hide.

If you face difficulties, you must face them bravely.

The current plan is to take Bai Tang Yu'er back to Yingtian Mansion, and then tell Zhu Yuanzhang frankly everything.

Zhu Qina made up his mind, went out and told the Chengdu General Soldier that he could retreat back, and he had already taken care of the messy things about King Xiao Ming.

The Chengdu General Soldier was also in a daze. He didn't expect His Royal Highness King Liao to settle it so quickly. What about the chaotic party?
His Royal Highness King Liao rolled his eyes: "What kind of rebellious party? Why is Xiao Ming's lineage a rebellious party? They are the in-laws of our Zhu family!"

Without further explanation, he asked Chengdu General Soldier to write a letter and send it to Zhu Liangzu in Guangdong and Guangxi, saying that His Royal Highness King Liao was responsible for this matter and that he did not need to do more.

Afterwards, Zhu Qi took Bai Tang Yu'er with him on a starry night journey towards Yingtian Mansion.

Of course, before looking for Zhu Yuanzhang, you must first look for Prince Zhu Biao.

Brother Prince is my eternal safe haven.
