Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 495 Impeachment and flattery

Zhu Han originally expected that there would be absolutely no problems until the second batch of food arrived.

But even when Zhu Han was on his way to Datong Mansion, he had already asked Jin Yiwei to investigate every situation in Datong Mansion as clearly as possible.

Do your best to grasp information about disaster areas.

But limited by the times, the information he could really control was still not very accurate.

After arriving in Datong, I had real contact with the victims and gradually pieced together the truth from the victims' mouths.

Zhu Han couldn't help but gasped.

The scope of this disaster was far beyond his imagination.

Not only was the number of people affected by the disaster more than [-]% higher than previously expected.

Even the scope is much larger than imagined.

Because it’s not just Datong

Several state capitals connected to Datong have also been affected by drought to a greater or lesser extent.

It's just that for those disaster-stricken areas, for those state capitals.

This kind of drought is not serious, at least it is far from reaching the point where the court must deal with it personally.

They can figure it out themselves.

Although it can be solved, there are still many refugees who will enter Datong Prefecture for one reason or another.

This made the situation in Datong Mansion, which was already in a bad situation, even worse.

This is when Zhu Han came, otherwise there would have been a drought of this magnitude in Datong, and corpses would have been everywhere, and civil unrest would have broken out.

Zhu Han is here, working hard to build the capital and provide disaster relief. It can be said that he is extremely busy.

Of course, they are mainly busy with disaster relief.

Zhu Han wouldn't have been so busy building the capital if it wasn't because of an accident in Datong.

As for Ying Tianfu, the impeachment of Zhu Han never stopped for a moment.

No matter what day, Lao Zhu can receive similar impeachment as long as he reviews the memorial.

It was as if if Zhu Han was not impeached, they would have nothing to do.

For example, the memorial that Lao Zhu is holding in mid-week, although its tone is relatively euphemistic.

But inside and outside the words, there was a lot of hidden poking at Zhu Han.

Moreover, this person is quite insidious, and he acts like he is doing his best to help His Royal Highness clear his grievances.

Just like one of the sentences.

"I heard from others that more than half a month ago, people with eyes were on the streets shouting "Long live His Majesty the King of England."

"I think this matter is very possible. Someone must be secretly framing His Royal Highness."

"For this kind of thing, I believe that the court must not tolerate it, and should use the greatest strength to investigate this matter to the end and restore His Royal Highness's innocence."

There are simply not too many words like this in this memorial.

Those who don’t know may really think that this guy is thinking about Zhu Han wholeheartedly.

When reading this memorial, Lao Zhu subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to pick up the knife more than once.

Then he directly killed this yin and yang guy with a knife.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do this. No matter what the official's real purpose was, on the surface, he just spoke for Zhu Han.

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial to the ground angrily.

But after the anger passed, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his performance, and soon a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Lao Zhu told the eunuch accompanying him: "Pick it up and have someone copy it and send it to the King of England."

After this little episode, the haze in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was swept away.

When he returned to the harem, his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Queen Ma couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened? You are so happy."

Seeing his married wife, the proud look on Dean Zhu's face became more intense.

Laughing loudly, she leaned into Queen Ma's ear and whispered: "Sister, let me tell you..."

As he said that, Dean Zhu told Empress Ma about today's memorial.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang being cheerful and in a good mood, Queen Ma gradually became gloomy after hearing this: "These people know how to hold on to Qi Wu every day, don't they have anything else to do?"

However, after hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly copied a copy of their memorial and sent it to Zhu Han.

Empress Ma couldn't help laughing, and hit Zhu Yuanzhang quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry either, he chuckled and said, "What? Sister, do you think we did something wrong?"

Empress Ma pursed her lips, suppressed a smile, and shook her head gently: "No, these people are too lawless. Someone really needs to teach them a lesson."

"How many things did Qiwu do in Yanjing and Datong Mansion? Couldn't they see it? Why do they keep looking at those trivial things every day?"

"When Qi Wu finds out what they have done, he will definitely not let them go easily. Then there will be a lot of excitement on the playground."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted proudly: "That's right. This is the effect we want. In the past two years, Qi Wu's temper has been much better than before. When it was just when the army started, I don't think anyone would dare to be like this in front of Qi Wu. presumptuous."

Empress Ma didn't want to talk more about this issue. She had always been very measured and would never take the initiative to interfere in politics: "By the way, how is the situation in Datong? I don't know how the people there are living. Sample?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled proudly.

"Sister, you don't know what Qiwu is capable of. As long as he is willing to work seriously, I think nothing in this world can be difficult for him."

"We have always felt that Qi Wu is actually more suitable to be the emperor than me."

Thinking of Zhu Han's character, After Trouble couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker: "With Qi Wu's temperament, even if you give this emperor to him, he won't do it, right?"

Zhu Han was not at the scene. If he were here, he would definitely grab Queen Ma's hand with tears in his eyes: "My relatives, my sister-in-law is closer than my eldest brother, and I know how to love people. Unlike his eldest brother, who has no conscience at all." have eaten."

Why did he work so hard to help his eldest brother rebel and become emperor?
Isn’t it just that I can hug my thighs and live comfortably in the future?

As a result, my eldest brother, a dog-like thing, actually wanted to pass on the tiring position of emperor to him?
This is just fucking trying to harm him!

Fortunately, he was witty and didn't fall for this trick.

Zhu Yuan let out a long sigh: "Sister, you know, our old Zhu is not a hypocritical person, but for Qi Wu, we really feel that we owe him too much."

Queen Ma stood up, walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently massaged him.

"Chongpachi, I understand what you are thinking. Regarding the matters between your brothers, you said I shouldn't interfere too much."

"I think you'd better stop thinking about this matter. I think Qi Wu really has no intention of becoming the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes: "That's why I don't know what to do."

He has been decisive in killing in his life and believes that he never owes anyone anything.

But for his younger brother, Dean Zhu really felt that he owed too much.

Lao Zhu's family knows his own affairs, and the biggest reason why he is able to do this is Zhu Han.At the beginning, without Zhu Han's persuasion, he would not have made up his mind to join the rebel army.

When he was conquering the world, it was his younger brother who came up with all kinds of gadgets, which helped him establish the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, what Lao Zhu didn't know was that even without Zhu Han's appearance, in real history, he was still the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang in this time and space grew up step by step with the help of Zhu Han, so he naturally believed that without Zhu Han's help, it would be impossible for him to achieve what he has achieved today.

This is equivalent to two brothers doing business.

Zhu Han came up with the idea, and it was Zhu Han who came up with a variety of products during the entrepreneurial process.

As for Lao Zhu, he is basically the type who uses his utmost strength.

In the end, Lao Zhu became the truly powerful chairman, while Zhu Han became a shareholder who only received dividends.

Anyone with a bit of conscience will always feel sorry for themselves, right?
And Lao Zhu is not a purely political creature.

In his heart, family affection is still very important.

Otherwise, after Lao Zhu filtered it, he would not distribute it everywhere.

When Lao Zhu did that, he also had a very simple idea.

Since he has become so successful, everyone in Lao Zhu's family will naturally follow him to heaven.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be the emperor in vain?

Of course, there is a more important reason.

Only after becoming the emperor can we truly understand how hard it is to govern the world.

It was fine before, but with the gradual expansion of Ming Dynasty's territory,

Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with more and more things.

Especially in the past year, he has felt more and more that he is somewhat powerless.

Although he was very satisfied with the prince Zhu Biao, he was the best choice in terms of character, knowledge and ability.

But I am afraid of comparison in everything. Comparing Zhu Biao with Zhu Han...

Well, Lao Zhu doesn’t even know what this can compare to.

"As for Datong..." Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject calmly.

Thinking of the report from Datong, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly: "We remember that Wu Zhen, the prefect of Datong, has nothing to do with Qiwu, right?"

"What's wrong?" Queen Ma looked puzzled, always feeling that there seemed to be something in Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Dean Zhu casually took out a memorial and handed it to Queen Ma and said, "Let's take a look. We don't even know what kind of rice soup Qiwu gave to the Datong prefect to make him speak for him like this."

Empress Ma didn't rush to pick it up, but took a look at the memorial first.

This memorial has a light blue outer cover. Obviously, it is not a formal official document, but just a memorial for reporting things.

This does not quite fall within the scope of official court affairs.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, Empress Ma picked up the memorial and read it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "Queen, you are too careful. Why should you and I care about this?"

Empress Ma smiled and shook her head: "Chongba, there are no rules without rules. There are some things that I have to set rules from the beginning. Only in this way can future generations have traces to follow."

"If we don't follow the rules, how will future generations follow them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless: "Okay, okay, in short, we can't tell you anything. This is just an ordinary memorial. There is no news about the government. Just read it with confidence."

Queen Ma then opened the memorial and read it carefully.

There is indeed no particularly important news in this book.

In other words, there is some important news, but it is not that important compared to the content above.

This is a memorial written by Wu Zhen, the prefect of Datong, to report to Zhu Yuanzhang on the current situation in Datong.

The reason why no formal document was used is because in this memorial, basically only one person is mentioned, or one person and the people around him.

That was naturally Zhu Han, His Royal Highness the King of Ming Dynasty, and some of his disciples.

In this memorial, Wu Zhen, the prefect of Datong, almost praised Zhu Han to the sky.

If you just read this memorial, you will have a feeling.

The drought in Datong was all reversed by the British King Zhu Han with his own efforts.

At the beginning, Datong Prefecture was thousands of miles away, and the most lacking thing was food.

But at this moment, His Royal Highness the King of England suddenly came. Not only did he come, he also brought with him the high price of food.

Four taels of silver, one stone of grain.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard about this terrifying food price.

But in the end everyone discovered that King Zhu Han was right.

It is precisely because of this high price of food that the grain merchants are working hard to deliver food to Datong Prefecture.

As of the time this memorial was issued, there was no shortage of food in Datong Mansion.

Being able to ensure that Datong Mansion is not short of food under such a terrible drought means that there are already countless people alive.

And many people have analyzed afterwards that based on the current scale of the disaster in Datong, if it weren't for Zhu Han, the price of food would have been set at four taels of silver.

As a result, there was too much food in Datong Prefecture, and merchants competed with each other, causing prices to fail to rise.

Otherwise, even if it rises to five taels, or even six taels, it is very possible.

Afterwards, Zhu Han's refugee camp strategy appeased the Datong refugees who had fled.

It is different from leaving the refugees outside the city and letting them fend for themselves.

Zhu Han implemented the strategy of using work to stimulate development, and almost built a new city outside Datong Mansion.

Common people can support themselves with their own hands instead of charity from the court.

When writing this paragraph, Wu Zhen didn't know if he was overly excited.

It was written in exceptional detail.

There was even a list of what the refugees outside Datong Mansion ate every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded. He had meat every day. Is this the life of a refugee?
If they could eat meat every day, they might not join the rebel army at all, right?

Finally, Wu Zhen, the prefect of Datong, said with emotion: "The lives of the refugees are slightly better than those of the people in Zhifucheng."

Refugees live better than ordinary people.

Even if Zhu Han is Zhu Yuanzhang's biological brother.

Lao Zhu also knew very well what kind of incredible abilities his younger brother had, and he didn't quite believe these words.
