The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 235 Meeting Jianwen
The crown prince did not attend the court meeting.

Li Yu sent someone to tell his father about this overnight, and the prince just "fell ill" in advance.

Very wise choice!

Zhu Gaochi has always looked at people with the face of a benevolent and filial prince, how can he do such an inhumane thing?When you go to the court, you must speak out against it, and maintain your own personality!

But this matter was ordered by the emperor, and it is useless to oppose it, or it will be called a disobedience.

It can only be just right!

At the court meeting, the rhetoric was fierce, and many officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six divisions spoke out against the emperor's inhumane behavior, and even wanted to crash into the hall to death.

It's just that the behavior of hitting the pillar was slow, and he was hugged by his colleagues.

The censor was ordered on the spot to be dragged down with the court stick, and beat with all his heart!
All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty greatly agreed, especially the censor who had just spoken out against it, and quietly looked at the censor who was dragged out with hatred:
The emperor wants to punish the natives, so what's the matter with the people of Daming?Since when are natives considered human beings?Let's object together, the emperor will treat us as farts, but we can also easily gain a good reputation, which is not costly, hello, hello, hello everyone, harmony in the court!

But at this time you jumped out and hit the post with your head, inviting you to buy your name!Show you can?Is there only one benevolent person who co-authored the whole world?If you do this, doesn't it appear that our censor officials are hypocritical?

Well done Your Majesty!beat!Kill you "outstanding" bastard!
Zhu Di's face was not very good-looking after the "dead remonstrance" happened. At this time, it must be those nobles who are considerate!
Zhu Yong, the second Duke of Cheng, stood up immediately, weeping, and said that if His Majesty did not implement such a desperate strategy against the Jiaozhi natives, he would be killed on the spot on the Panlong pillar!

If you want to say who in the Manchu Dynasty hated the Jiaozhi natives the most, it must be Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong!His father, Zhu Neng, died of illness on the way to Annan, so it can be said that he died before leaving the army!
If Zhu Neng recuperated in the capital, he might have survived without having to travel in a car.

So blame those Annan monkeys!Intercepting and killing the envoys provoked the wrath of His Majesty!
Isn't it just dead remonstrance!Our Wu Xun will too!

Cheng Guogong took the lead, and a large group of military generals, Xungui, all knelt down and remonstrated with death. The emperor was "forced to do nothing" and could only issue an edict to "recruit Jiaozhi natives to go north to work".

The official historian recorded this scene with spring and autumn brushwork.

After the court, Zhu Di did not go to Jiming Temple, and Li Yu did not go to Wuying Hall to deal with the government affairs. The grandparents and grandchildren left the palace with a team of Jinyi guards, got on a boat at the riverside pier, and went down the river.

Arrive at Zhenjiang Prefecture, go south into the canal, the advection is gentle, and the boat travels very slowly.

Zhu Di couldn't stand this grumbling, so he simply got off the boat. Jin Yiwei had already transferred fast horses from the post station, and a group of dozens of people rode south to Wuxi.

When it was dark and they rushed to the outside of Wuxi City, the city gate was closed, and the grandfather and grandson had no intention of entering the city.

Bypass Wuxi City and go straight to Lingshan Temple in the south of the city.

The gate of Lingshan Temple was wide open, and Jin Yiwei had already done protection work a few days in advance.

Xu Bin was also waiting at the mountain gate, but he didn't enter the temple. He just told Zhu Di that Emperor Jianwen was already waiting on the ninth floor of the pagoda.

Zhu Di stepped into Lingshan Temple. There is a wooden pagoda with nine floors on the top of the back mountain in the temple.

A very old monk was waiting outside the pagoda. When he saw the emperor, he did not speak a word but opened the pagoda door and respectfully invited Zhu Di to enter.

Zhu Di waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei he brought scattered and disappeared around the pagoda.

Seeing his eldest nephew, Zhu Di only planned to bring his grandson in.

Li Yu glanced inside first.

The pagoda is low, and there are many long-burning candles burning in the first floor. There are many Buddha statues inlaid on the tower wall. The Buddha statues are brass and gilt, and grandpa shines brightly under the candlelight.

Whoa!These bald donkeys are rich enough!Damn, I don't save poor ghosts!Just looking at so many candles, it is not affordable for ordinary rural rich people!
Li Yu's eyes rolled, and he had bad thoughts in his heart.

When we are free, let's follow the example of Sanwuyizong!
Monk!You should sit in meditation and chant scriptures honestly, cultivate yourself hard in order to achieve the right result, and spend all your time on gilding Buddha statues. How can you become a Buddha if you lose your worldly thoughts?

"Grandpa, there is no one inside." Putting away his crooked thoughts, Li Yu listened carefully, except for two gasps on the ninth floor of the tower above, there was no other movement, so he went out and reported.

The grandparents and grandchildren entered the tower and closed the tower gate.

There were several futons on the ground, and Li Yu helped the old man to sit down.

Zhu Di's tone was a little trembling, but there was a trace of fear: "He, is he here?"

"Back to grandpa, there were two people on the top of the tower, and there was a sound of panting, but my grandson didn't go up to check."

Li Yu rolled his eyes and amplified his voice deliberately: "Grandpa is on the first floor, but he is on the ninth floor. Why don't you let your grandson go out to find some wood and set a fire to see if he can get down?"

At this time, on the ninth floor of the pagoda, a middle-aged monk in Naiyi kept turning a rosary in his hand and was meditating with his eyes closed. Beside the monk, a big man with a beard hanging from his waist stood with a steel knife.

The wooden tower is not soundproof, and Li Yu deliberately used means when he spoke. The two people also heard the words of setting fire just now.

The corner of the monk's mouth twitched slightly, and the hand of the big man beside him unconsciously touched the handle of the knife.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Di scolded, but his mood calmed down a little.

Li Yu said this on purpose, just kidding, to relieve the old man's nervous mood!
"Has Grandpa thought about what to say to Emperor Jianwen?" Li Yu asked softly.

"I haven't thought it through, Grandpa can't make up his mind." Zhu Di looked distressed, and up to now, he is still hesitating between killing and letting go.

"Emperor Jianwen dared to come, because he had already put life and death aside, he didn't care about killing or letting go."

"He has become a monk, and it seems that he can practice Buddhism well. Grandpa might as well think about it slowly, how about grandson go up and find out first?"

"... Whatever, but don't be rude."

Zhu Di agreed after a little thought, but the grandson will be in danger?impossible!Ji Gang and hundreds of rebels can't do anything to him!After that incident, Zhu Di had already found out the grandson's force value!

Whether to kill or release Emperor Jianwen is something the old man considers. Even if he is released, Li Yu is confident that Emperor Jianwen can't turn the sky!

And when he went up to see Emperor Jianwen, Li Yu had no other thoughts, it was just curiosity!

It's really just curiosity about this wonderful emperor through the ages!

The old man is the only one who seized the throne through the rebellion of the vassal king throughout the ages, and Zhu Yunwen is naturally the only emperor who was kicked out of the throne by the vassal king's army.

The game of Feilong riding on the face was abruptly lost by this player!
What's even more amazing is that he is not the kind of foolish king who only cares about his own pleasure!

He's just stupid, not bad!In other words, his badness was only bad to his uncles!He was so kind to those civil servants that even now, many scholars often mention Emperor Jianwen.

He was also determined to reform, wanting to change the unreasonable and tyrannical rule of Hong Wunian.

He was just fooled by Confucianism, saying that he must call the ancients and advocate the Zhou Dynasty!However, it did not take into account the actual situation of Daming.

His reforms seemed very refreshing, but they offended all the scholars, peasants, businessmen, nobles and vassals, and finally ended up being betrayed by all relatives.

Rather than saying that he was kicked out of the throne by King Yan, it would be better to say that he took the throne by himself.

If he continues the rules of the Hongwu period, the rebellion of the ten kings of Yan will be defeated!In other words, if Emperor Jianwen was replaced from the throne and led by a dog, King Yan would not be able to win!

Li Yu even suspected that the old man rebelled with [-] guards back then. He never thought that he would be able to break into Yingtian and seize the throne one day. name only:

He, King Yan, is a general on the battlefield, he can only die standing up, and he will never live on his knees!
But I didn't expect that Emperor Jianwen was so capable, but also so stupid!
He was indecisive, changed generals before the battle, believed Huang Zicheng's words, withdrew Geng Bingwen, who had suffered a small defeat, and replaced him with Li Jinglong, the god of war.

Li Jinglong's show operation is here!
In the defense of Beiping, Qu Neng attacked Zhangyemen, and Li Jinglong ordered to withdraw his troops as soon as he saw that King Yan's lair could be taken away; in the battle of Zhengcunba, the southern army was at a slight disadvantage, and Li Jinglong quickly led his troops to retreat, counting 100,000 The people's luggage was left to the Yan army, and the southern army that attacked Beiping had not been notified yet; the Yan army was almost destroyed in the battle of Baigou River. At this time, a whirlwind broke Li Jinglong's commander-in-chief flag. Seizing the opportunity, they made a surprise attack on the rear of the Southern Army. In this campaign, they seized the supplies of the Southern Army and recruited [-] soldiers from the Southern Army.

That's the flagpole of Shuaiqi. It's a piece of wood with thick arms. It takes a while to chop it with an axe. Can it be broken by the wind?

After this battle, Li Jinglong was dismissed and replaced by Sheng Yong, but the Yan army also developed, and the two sides won and lost each other, but the Yan army was always compressed in Beiping, Baoding, and Yongping.

In the winter of the third year of Jianwen, the Yan army bypassed Sheng Yong, went straight to Yingtian, took Lingbi, and crossed the Yangtze River.At that time, there were 200,000 soldiers in Yingtian City. Relying on Yingtian Jiancheng, they stood firm and waited for reinforcements, just waiting for the king's army; but at this time, Zhu Yunqi didn't know whose evil he believed, and ordered Li Jinglong to guard the Jinchuan Gate.

Sure enough, Li Jinglong lived up to expectations. As soon as King Yan arrived, Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate and surrendered.

Emperor Jianwen was still waiting for King Qin's army in the palace. When he turned his head, the fourth uncle called in!He could only light a fire, shaved his head, put on a monk's robe and fled.

Such a wonderful emperor, such an emperor who was fooled by Confucianism, the old man was actually worried that Emperor Jianwen would cause chaos after his death?It's really too much to worry about!
Li Yu climbed up the spiral wooden steps to the ninth floor of the pagoda. As soon as he turned out of the stairs, before he showed up, a steel knife slashed at his head.

The steel knife was deflected by three inches, and the blade was pointed backwards, presumably it was only used as a deterrent, not intended to kill people.

But Li Yu is not used to people's bad habits!

Although the steel knife was fast, in Li Yu's eyes, it was like a tortoise walking. Between the flashes and flints, Li Yu flew up and kicked the bearded man's waist.

The big man suddenly received the kick, his eyes bulged, and his body flew out of control.

With a plop, he fell two feet away. The big man endured the severe pain and wanted to get up, but was stopped by the monk raising his hand. Then he sat down, rubbed his stomach, twisted his facial features, and yelled silently.

"He wasn't injured, but if he is rude next time, I'm afraid he will lose his dinner guy."

Li Yu stood opposite the monk, glanced at the big man coldly, and then bowed his hands and bowed to salute: "My nephew has seen my uncle."

Zhu Yunwen is one year older than his father Zhu Gaochi, and Li Yu's call uncle is fine.

"You are Zhanji, right? You are so handsome." The monk raised his eyelids slightly and smiled.

I am Zhanji, not Zhanji, uncle, you are already a monk, why are you still swearing?Li Yu was distracted, his thoughts were wild, and he looked at Emperor Jianwen carefully, only to see that he was wearing a monk's robe, with six ring scars on his head, a kind face, a sparse goatee beard, but he hadn't taken care of it carefully, and there were several scars on the monk's robe Patch, want to live off the pinch.

It may also be that the Buddhist studies are advanced, and you don't care about unexpected things.

"Uncle is so excited. My grandfather has arrived in the pagoda, but uncle is sitting here. Don't worry..." Li Yu's eyes fell on the rosary in Zhu Yunwen's hand: "Pan Chuaner? Yo, it's black and shiny, or is it made of red sandalwood?"

Even though he has become a monk and has studied Buddhism for many years, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. This eldest nephew sounds a bit out of place. Is this the emperor's grandson chosen by the fourth uncle?Daming's future is in jeopardy.

"If you like it, I'll have it with you." Zhu Yunqi raised his hand and threw the rosary over, but Li Yu flicked his fingers, and the rosary returned the same way and fell into Zhu Yunqi's hands again.

"My nephew never believes in any Buddha, so what's the use of keeping it? Uncle has been playing around for many years, and he has patina, so let's keep it."

The corner of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched again, feeling that his Zen mind was about to break, so he quickly took out a bright yellow silk package from his arms and placed it in front of him.

"This is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. I took it away from the palace back then. It was just a dead thing. The present thing will return to its original owner."

Li Yu leaned over to pick it up and opened it on the spot.

This so-called Chuanguo jade seal is pure and white, with a radius of four inches. It is engraved with five dragons and fish and birds. many years ago.

The imitation is good, almost can be fake!Li Yu sneered slightly, if others don't know this thing, how can he not know it!He has played with this thing for decades in other worlds!
The one in front of me is almost exactly the same as the original version, except that the two traces of "Great Wei Shou Han Chuan Guoxie" on the shoulder and "Destiny Shishi" on the right are missing.

I think that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the great-grandfather disliked these two unsightly places, so he ordered the craftsmen to save them.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness." Li Yu did not expose what the old ancestor did, rewrapped the jade seal, and saluted Zhu Yunwen again: "Please sit down, uncle, and my nephew will take this jade seal down first."

Li Yu originally wanted to chat with Emperor Jianwen, but after seeing the monk, he found that there was nothing to talk about.Simply see and see, what to do next, just obey the old man.

On the first floor, Zhu Di frowned tightly, closed his eyes and meditated, when the sound of footsteps on the tower approached, Zhu Di opened his eyes.

"It's been verified, is it him above?" Zhu Di's voice was full of hope.

"It should be." Li Yu took out the so-called Chuanguo Yuxi, placed it on the ground, untied the bright yellow silk himself, and presented the Yuxi in front of the old man.

"I dug three feet and didn't find it, so he took it away." Zhu Di stared at the jade seal, silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the jade seal, looked at it for a moment, and sighed: "He...will give it to me ?”

"Returning to grandpa, Emperor Jianwen said that the property should be returned to the original owner." Li Yu hesitated: "However, my grandson has read history books, and looking at this jade seal, it looks like..."

"Isn't it an imitation?" Zhu Di smiled noncommittally: "Your great-grandpa sent generals to attack Dadu, but they never found this thing. There are rumors that it was taken to the grassland by Emperor Shun. Your great-grandfather ordered someone to make a copy. This thing is my Great Ming's Imperial Seal, true or false, it doesn't matter!"

This makes sense!Lao Zhu expelled the Tartars and restored China, and he won the most upright position. How can his orthodoxy be guaranteed by a mere stone?It doesn't matter if you don't have one!
