The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 220 Armed Power Acquired
It was getting late, and Li Yu left the Prince's Mansion with the memorial.

Jin Yiwei came to report just now, following Sun Yu's clue, he had dug out the hiding place of the Jing Nan orphans and wiped them all out.

Only Sun Yu escaped.

The Imperial Prison is located in the imperial city, not far from the side door of the Spring Harmony Palace.

When Li Yu arrived at the imperial prison, Jin Yiwei had already finished asking the confession.

Although Xu Bin and Nie Xing, the leaders of these orphans of Jing Nan, refused to disclose anything except their lives, not all of them have such tough bones, and Jin Yiwei's methods are not vegetarian.

Although these minions don't know much, they also confessed how they came to the capital from Nuer Gandusi without a guide on this road, and escaped many barriers. big shot.

This is enough!

Li Yu took a confession and told Jin Yiwei to take good care of these orphans of Jing Nan, keep them alive, and stop torture to extract confessions. Then he left the imperial prison and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The gate of the palace has been locked, even if you are a grandson, you can't get in, so I have to report this matter tomorrow.

Back in the small courtyard where he lived in Chunhe Palace, and sent away the servants and eunuchs, Li Yu lay on the bed and began to plan the next strategy.

Obediently being a good grandson Li Yu is unwilling to do it, it's too boring.

When you come to this world, you have to do things. If you don't do things, how can you coax the old man to step down and let the old man take over?How to complete the task?

His Emperor Yongle is powerful, but our "Hongwu" Emperor is not bad either!

Coincidentally, when I was the emperor last time, something went wrong in my heart because of bloodthirsty, some achievements were not completed, after all, I left some regrets, and I have the right to make up for it this time.

To do things, you must first have money and power, and military power is the most important thing.

Why is Zhu Erhan so arrogant?Isn't it just relying on the pampering of the old man and the military power in his hands!
In terms of doting, my eldest grandson is no worse than him!

What is worse is an army that obeys its own command.

In Li Yu's inherited memory, he vaguely remembered that he mentioned this to the old man a few years ago, and got an ambiguous answer at that time, saying that it would be a few years before he was older, and now is the time.

Then there is money.

In the palace of the King of Han, things from Yunnan were loaded into the mansion one by one, and Zhu Erhan would grab a handful of golden beans whenever he met. Who in the palace would not miss him?In contrast, the warehouse in the Prince's Mansion was clean of mice.

The concubine cries poor all day long, and the prince is not even willing to change a decent robe. With that little salary every year, he doesn't even have any money to reward his servants. No wonder Hou Tai was bought by the wealthy King of Han!

It's not difficult to make money, but the hard part is, if you make money, you can keep it in your own hands and not be tricked by the old man.

Emperor Yongle has only talked about three things in his life, voyages to the West, repairing the Grand Ceremony, and the Northern Expedition!
One of the most memorable is the Northern Expedition.

Just like this time, after conquering Alutai, he originally planned to rest in Shuntian Mansion for a year and a half, and continue to fight Mahamu, but it was not because he had no money that he withdrew his troops and went to court!

If there is a sudden large sum of money in the Prince's Mansion, the first one to come to share a piece of the pie will be the old man!
In terms of making money, you still have to count as the emperor!

Slowly pondering, slowly falling asleep.

At dawn the next day, Chen Shi.

Li Yu woke up on time.

It was already bright outside, and under the service of two court ladies, he put on casual clothes, put the memorial book written by his father yesterday into his bosom, got on a walking chariot, and entered the palace to meet him.

All the way into the palace gate, walked down from the chariot, and asked the eunuch on duty, the court meeting in the Fengtian Hall was not over yet, Li Yu had to wait in the Wuying Hall.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, there is a huge sand table. Zhu Di is worthy of being an amateur emperor and a professional general. He even put this thing in the Hall of Martial Heroes where the emperor handles official duties, thinking about fighting.

After drinking two cups of tea, the bell rang a few times outside, and the court meeting ended. After a short wait, Zhu Di entered the Hall of Martial Arts with seven or eight generals in uniform.

"Sun Chen sees His Majesty."

Li Yu quickly saluted.

"stand up."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Di pulled Li Yu up. It could be seen that he was in a good mood at the moment, and the generals followed him to salute.

Little Snot was serving with a few eunuchs, and Zhu Di pulled a few generals around the sand table, discussing with each other, and occasionally fierce quarrels broke out; Li Yu stood aside, at first he thought Zhu Di and the others were replaying the game During this Northern Expedition, I summed up my combat experience, listened carefully to a few words, and the more I listened, the more wrong I suddenly realized that these rough guys were not discussing the details of sending troops to fight at all, but were using this big sand table to play their motherfuckers. Sand table deduction!

Divide into two gangs, use the sand table as the battlefield, the flag as the soldiers, and fight each other for fun!

Damn it!

Is the emperor so idle?Just came back from the war, instead of dealing with government affairs, brought a bunch of rough men to Wuying Hall to play house?

Near noon, a "heart and hearty battle" ended, and the result was naturally that the emperor won.

Zhu Di was in a better mood, ordered the generals to retreat, and gave a lunch, then as if he remembered something, he beckoned for Li Yu to follow.

Out of the Wuying Hall, Zhu Di sat in a chariot, Li Yu walked all the way into the Qianqing Palace, the palace people set up lunch, Zhu Di sat with a golden sword on his horse, and asked Li Yu to accompany him.

"Let's go ahead, I came to the palace early in the morning to see me. Is there any clue to what I asked you to investigate yesterday?" Zhu Di didn't care about his image at all, and boldly tore a chicken leg.

Li Yu put down his chopsticks, stood up and cupped his hands:

"If you go back to grandpa, you have indeed found out."

"It is indeed a group of Jing Nan's orphans. The leader was arrested by Jin Yiwei. After interrogation, it was discovered that there was a man behind the scenes named 'Emperor'..."

Li Yu told everything about Jing Nan's orphan, including Sun Ruowei who was imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion, and the fact that he deliberately let Sun Yu go. After Zhu Di listened, he put down the chicken legs and remained silent for a long time. Only then leisurely spit out a sentence:

"One by one, don't let me worry!"

Although Zhu Di is more like a general than an emperor, it is not difficult to guess.

To be able to hide Jin Yiwei, as well as the various state capitals, and the commanders and envoys, to send the orphans of Jing Nan from Nuergandusi to Yingtianlai, and to direct this assassination show, the whole world can have this kind of strength , who else?
Either the boss, or the second and the third!

"Grandpa, calm down." Li Yu cupped his hands to persuade him neither humble nor overbearing, and then asked for instructions: "Grandpa, please show me, this case..."

Zhu Di raised his eyelids lightly: "In your opinion, how should we handle this case?"

"If you go back to grandpa, if the grandson comes to handle it, then the case will stop here." Li Yu quietly observed the old man's face, and couldn't see anything to appease his anger, so he had to continue: "If you continue to investigate, it will inevitably hurt your relationship." .”

"Then what about these Jing Nan orphans?"

"What my father means is that they have suffered a lot in such a bitter and cold place as Nuer Gandusi over the years, why not forgive them?"

"Hmph! What do I mean by asking you?" Zhu Di's tone became more serious.

"Back to grandpa, the meaning of grandson is slightly different from my father."

The father is kind, and Li Yu doesn't agree with the treatment method given, let alone such a cruel person as Zhu Di.

"Tell me."

"Yes."

"The grandson means that those orphans of Jing Nan who are in Nuer Gandusi can be pardoned, but it will take a few years for my grandson to do this, at least not during the grandfather's time. .”

Pardoning Jing Nan's orphan in the Yongle Dynasty would deny Jing Nan's legitimacy and undoubtedly slap the Emperor Yongle in the face.

"Yeah." Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"As for the orphans of Jing Nan in the imperial prison... After all, they committed the serious crime of assassinating the king and killing them. According to the law, they should all be beheaded. But..."

"But what? Just say what you have to say, don't imitate your father, hesitating, it's not good."

"Yes." Li Yu cupped his hands again: "But these people are also the key to leading Jianwen. Sun'er made his own claim, let Sun Yu go, and threatened him that if Emperor Jianwen doesn't show up, he will kill all the orphans of Jing Nan."

"Grandson heard that Emperor Jianwen became a monk on the southeast coast. He thought he had a heart of compassion. He didn't see his former subordinates who were loyal to him suffer this crime."

Speaking of this, Li Yu carefully observed the old man's face again, and suggested bravely: "In fact, it doesn't matter whether Emperor Jianwen dies or not. His so-called New Deal back then has long lost the hearts of the people of the world. The people are standing on the side of Grandpa. Here, it has been another ten years, and the hearts of the people have returned, even if there is a small trouble, there will be no trouble; but the jade seal in the hands of Emperor Jianwen, grandson wants to help grandpa get it back."

The Jianwen New Deal sounds really refreshing, but in practice, it's not like that.

Throughout the past dynasties, Confucianism is just a tool for the emperor to govern the country. There are almost no emperors who believe in it, but Zhu Yunqi is a strange one. He really believes in it!

Under Fang Xiaoru's clever tricks, one of the points of Jianwen's new policy is to respect Zhou etiquette and restore the system!One of them is to restore the well field system!

Dazhou has been dead for 700 years, and the well field system has been abolished for more than 2000 years. They actually went to learn these things that were eliminated by the times!

Restoring the well field system undoubtedly touched the interests of the Ming landlord class!

Fortunately, Zhu Di reversed it in time, and this policy was not implemented, otherwise, after a few years, the whole world would be reversed!At that time, if the world still has the surname Zhu, then there will be two opinions!

"It's rare for you to have such filial piety. It's much better than your father, a prince who is stupid in reading. Even if grandpa didn't love you in vain, sit down." After hearing this, Zhu Di smiled again at the corner of his mouth, raised his chin, He asked again, "What if Jianwen doesn't come out?"

"Then kill!" Li Yu's eyes flashed fiercely: "Set a deadline, with the distance from the southeast coast to Yingtian Mansion, two months is definitely enough. Once the two months are up, Emperor Jianwen If they don't show up, Jing Nan's orphans in the imperial prison will be killed one a day! They will be beheaded in public, and the second uncle can do the supervision and beheading."

"If he still refuses to come out after killing him, there are still many Jing Nan orphans of Nuer Gandusi!"

"Okay!" Zhu Di immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Haha, this is just like my grandson! You have your father's kindness, but also cruel methods! I'll listen to you. If Jianwen is willing to show up, he will be sent to the prison. The orphans of Jing Nan here will spare them the death penalty!"

Goal achieved!Li Yu secretly rejoiced, this is the art of speaking, bluntly pardoning like the old man will only offend the old man, we beat around the bush like this, it is different to let Xu Bin, Nie Xing and others go - as long as Jianwen is willing to show up.

To be honest, Li Yu actually hoped that Jianwen would not come out. They are just a bunch of assassins, and they will die if they die. Let the second uncle supervise and kill him, and it will ruin his reputation incidentally.But my father is too kind, and I can't see it, so I have no choice but to follow suit.

Ninety-nine percent of Jianwen will meet the old man like in the plot. A person who deeply believes in Confucian benevolence and morality and has been a monk for ten years will sit back and watch others be implicated to death by himself?The gentleman deceives it with the square!
Li Yu's method is indeed despicable, but it will definitely work!
"You did a good job in this matter, tell me, what kind of reward do you want!" Zhu Di was in a good mood at the moment, picked up the bowl and drank a bowl of porridge, put down the bowl, and asked with a smile.

Li Yu rolled his eyes: "The grandson doesn't want anything, as long as grandpa is happy."

"Slippery!" Zhu Di didn't understand what this meant, it was not necessary, he clearly wanted more, and he was afraid that he would not give what he wanted, so he said that.

"How about it," Zhu Di thought for a while, and ordered: "Didn't you keep clamoring to lead the army a few years ago? At that time, you were still young, and I didn't promise it; but now you are almost the same age, and I am as old as you." It's time to learn to lead the army with King Zhongshan, it's time for you to learn, if you don't know about military affairs, how will you be the emperor in the future?"

Good guy, do you think everyone looks like you, being an emperor means leading troops to fight?Li Yu secretly complained in his heart, but for himself, he wanted to stabilize the military power.

Son of Heaven, do it for those with strong soldiers and strong horses!

"I will allow you to have a guard of men and horses, and select young men of the same age as you from the military households to form an army. They usually guard around, and they will be named...young army! One of the weapons, armor, food and grass will be left to...forget it , I am too lazy to listen to Xia Yuanji's ramblings, so let's spend it from internal funds! Little Snotty, write this down and handle it well."

"Yes, the servant has written it down, and I will do it later."

"Yes! Grandson, thank you grandpa for your kindness!" Li Yu smacked for a moment, and there were 600 people in the guard. Although it was far less than the number of soldiers in Zhu Erhan's hands, it was enough.

There are steel pipes and springs for making flintlocks in the portable space!This guard army has been well trained, and it will not be a problem to hit twenty times as many enemies!

No matter how bad it is, then flip the table!David Crow see it?
"However, grandson wants to build a young army according to his own ideas. It just so happens that grandson has some ideas that he wants to verify, such as building an army of pure firearms. Grandpa please allow it."

"En Zhun En Zhun," it's just a firecracker, without the cooperation of other arms, it's just a show, but since the grandson is willing, let him go, Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently: "The gunpowder and firecrackers you need later, Just take the token and go to the military battle bureau to get it."

"Hey, grandson, thank you grandpa for your kindness." Li Yu quickly agreed, for fear that the old man would regret it.

Zhu Di ate two more bowls of rice, and Li Yu also used some with him. After taking away the leftovers, Zhu Di was going to read the memorabilia that the prince had approved in the past two years. up.

Li Yu didn't plan to leave.

It's rare that the old man is in a good mood at the moment, so I still have to submit the memorial of my father's resignation as the prince, so that the old man can be gentle when he gets angry?
