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

"What? Do you still suspect that Qi Wu can't lie to you?" Queen Ma asked with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head: "Why don't we believe Qi Wu? We are just afraid that Wu Zhen, the man of Datong, will deliberately flatter Qi Wu in order to curry favor with him."

"It would be fine if these things are real, but if there is something here..."

"Qiwu said not to be attacked by the entire court ministers."

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang tenderly: "Let's not talk about other people's thoughts now. Do you think those things are true or false?"

"We think it should all be true. After all, you have been to the Qiwu fiefdom, and the construction there is like a paradise."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little aggrieved.

This kid, Qiwu, has built his fiefdom so well, but he doesn't want to think that other places in the Ming Dynasty are still living a hard life.

Well, if Zhu Han hears Zhu Yuanzhang's inner voice, he will definitely scold Zhu Yuanzhang for having no conscience.

Over the years, he has done a lot of things for Ming Dynasty, right?

Being the eldest brother is great. Being the eldest brother allows you to have unlimited control over people, right? Your conscience is a dog’s fault.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a lot to say.

Although the impeachment of Zhu Han this time was not as heated as the last time, many impeachment memorials have begun to be well-founded.

At least, these people were carefully investigated.

Judging from these gradually changing impeachment memorials, an opposition force was forming in the imperial court, standing opposite Zhu Han.

Other emperors would definitely be happy to see this happen.

In other words, if these people were dealing with someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and not care.

After all, it would be a very bad thing if the ministers in the court were all monolithic.

Being an emperor is so helpless sometimes.

It also requires the people below to do things, and they cannot be allowed to form cliques. At the same time, they must serve the court wholeheartedly.

If such people do appear, we have to worry about their prestige being too great.

After all, if he and Qi Wu were still around, no matter how high the prestige of others was, they would not be able to threaten their rule.

But what if he and Qiwu are no longer together?Will future generations have enough ability and prestige to suppress these people?
After all, even if these people don't have those thoughts themselves.But once the power around them expands to a certain level.

There are many things that they cannot decide on their own.

There was Wang Mang in front of him and Zhao Kuangyin behind him.

These people have existed before and will definitely appear again in the future.

After the emergence of the original cabinet, Zhu Yuanzhang actually had a lot less to do.

But it couldn't stand the Ming Dynasty's territorial expansion too fast in recent years.

For many government affairs in remote places, it takes half a year just to deliver them to Yingtian Mansion.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had more and more things to deal with.

In addition, recently, the Manchu ministers have impeached Zhu Han one after another.

It made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that his heart was so tired!

How can I still feel uneasy about my own brother?

There is no need for outsiders like you to make irresponsible remarks.

If you have the kung fu, why don't you take care of what you're doing.

They are all a bunch of idiots who can't see the form clearly and are nothing.

As his married wife, Queen Ma naturally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he suggested: "How about we go out for a walk, just like last time?"

Hearing Queen Ma's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a great idea. We have been busy for such a long time. It's time to take a rest."

However, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly hesitated and said: "Qiwu is not in Yingtian now. If we go out, I will leave Biao'er alone to handle government affairs. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate?"

Empress Ma smiled: "Biao'er is not young anymore."

"And I have had experience in supervising the country before. Wouldn't it be better if Qi Wu is not around this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up. She was indeed his queen, and her perspective on the problem was really tricky.

He has already achieved success, although there are still many places in this world that he has yet to conquer.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could not finish everything.

Otherwise, what will future generations do?
The mentality of Lao Zhu now is completely different from that of Lao Zhu in history.

After all, at this time, the Ming Dynasty had already extended its tentacles to all parts of the world.

Coupled with the various talents Zhu Han left behind, he is no longer needed to do everything well, allowing future generations to take over a stable country.

Now there is only one thing that Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about, and that is the issue of the empire's successor.

Lao Zhu is actually very satisfied with Zhu Biao, but he is afraid of comparison in everything.

Compared with his brother, his son was so inferior that it made his heart tremble.

But no matter how much he looks down on him, he is still his biological son after all.

This son of his is good at everything, his knowledge is much higher than what he used to be, and his character is praised by the whole court.

The only problem, I'm afraid, is that it's a little soft-hearted.

Also, he is too young and has not experienced any hardships.

Unlike them, they have already started to fight with the army at this age.

But as Queen Ma said, Zhu Han is not in Yanjing this time. If there is any problem, Zhu Biao can only solve it by himself.

For him, this may not be an opportunity for experience.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind.

He took Queen Ma's hand and said, "Girls are amazing. When you say that, we think it's just right."

"But..." Zhu Yuanzhang changed his tone: "If we have arranged everything before leaving, it will be no different from before."

Having been married for many years, Empress Ma immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu was so bold.

Suddenly he said with some worry: "Isn't this inappropriate? What if something goes wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, as long as the military power is firmly controlled, there will be no problems."

"I dare not say anything else, but none of these old brothers who joined us in the army are unreliable."

"As long as those people can't reach out to the army, no matter how big a chaos occurs, the country will not be in chaos."

Empress Ma wanted to persuade her again, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already waved his hand: "Okay, let's just decide this matter. Pack up your things and we are ready to leave."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's firm attitude, Queen Ma sighed helplessly.

He knows Zhu Yuanzhang too well. Once a decision is truly made, no one in the world can change it.The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang made almost no mistakes in this particularly important decision.

When it comes to a couple, Queen Ma naturally chooses to believe it.

Just when Queen Ma was about to leave and pack her things, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly reminded her.

"Queen, please don't tell Qiwu about this."

Queen Ma paused slightly and said, "I'll do whatever you want."

Early the next morning, in Yingtian Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the Fengtian Hall of the imperial palace.

It's not yet dawn, but the civil and military officials of the imperial court are already waiting here for the morning court.

Today is the imperial meeting, and there are especially many civil and military officials here.

Many people have been preparing memorials for who knows how long for today?
Because the matter was so important, some ministers even carefully glanced at the memorials more than once, as if they were afraid they would disappear.

Although a lot of things happen every time there is a court meeting.

But for the civil and military officials in the court, this was just an ordinary morning court.

No one thought that the following court meeting would be something they would never forget.

It was still early at this time, and all the civil servants gathered in the court room, waiting for the eunuch to announce the start of the morning court after the three-tone drum.

Because it was not a formal court meeting, the seating arrangements were still strict.

But there are not so many other rules.

Many ministers gathered together in twos and threes to whisper.

Some are talking about some government affairs.

Of course, some are chatting and gossiping. After all, ministers are human beings too.

However, what is talked about most now is still the disaster relief situation in Datong Mansion.

After all, at this time, all the forces in the imperial court are beginning to support Datong Mansion.

When mentioning Datong Mansion, another name is inevitably mentioned.

At this time, King Zhu Han of England was in Datong to provide disaster relief.

A gray-haired minister shook his head and said sadly: "I don't know how to eat now, and I can't sleep at night."

"Whenever I think about the people of Datong facing not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters, my heart is as sharp as a knife."

An official sitting next to him turned green when he heard what he said and quickly lowered his voice to stop him: "My Lord Wang, can you just say a few words less?"

"Don't you dare to say this casually? If someone hears it, you will read it. It is not a joke."

The man surnamed Wang stared, and instead of lowering his voice, he said loudly: "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Four taels, no, it's six taels now. The price of food at six taels of silver per stone has never been heard of in ancient times. Some people will do anything for money."

"The people are already suffering enough, but they still have to use all kinds of tricks to plunder the people's money. Isn't it better to be three feet away than to be safe?"

The more he spoke, the more mocking he looked on Mr. Wang's face, and his voice naturally became louder and louder.

There were many people around, and they all avoided after hearing what they said.

Especially the official who was talking to the official named Wang. At this time, he wanted to slap himself hard.

You said you had nothing to do, so you had to sit with this guy who didn't talk about the door.

Let's just sit together and talk about Datong disaster relief.

As long as he talks about Datong, His Royal Highness will naturally be the unavoidable topic.

It can only be said that it is okay to do evil if God does it, but you cannot live if you do it yourself.

"Sir Wang, as an official of the imperial court, you don't know how to do your job, and you accuse the prince at will. Do you want to rebel?" A young official couldn't hear the angry scolding.

Lord Wang squinted his eyes, looked upright, and snorted disdainfully: "As an official of the imperial court, I don't understand the behavior of some people, can't I just say it?"

"I don't know how good you are at doing things, but your ability to block the flow of speech is really great. Young people are better at guarding people's mouths than they are at guarding rivers."

The young official was extremely disgusted by Mr. Wang's tone of being like an elder lecturing the younger ones. He sternly retorted to the guest: "I have no intention of blocking the flow of speech."

"But His Royal Highness has said that without investigation there is no right to speak."

"I dare to ask this gentleman, you said that the people of Datong are living in dire straits. Have you seen it with your own eyes when you went to Datong, or have you seen the people from Datong?"

It is naturally impossible for Mr. Wang to have been to Datong, let alone meet the victims from Datong.

For a moment, he was somewhat speechless by the question.

He suddenly became angry and said: "So what if I haven't been there? Even if I haven't been there, I still know how the people of Datong are living now."

"The price of food is six taels of silver. Ordinary people can only buy two or three shi of food after working hard for a year."

"This amount of food is not enough for one person, let alone a family?"

"Without food, how do people live?"

"His Royal Highness sets the price of food at such a high price. This is simply an act of cruelty to the people."

"If the people can still live peacefully with such high food prices, I will write a letter to serve and go home immediately."

What he said was so convincing that many officials around him cheered quietly.

"well said!"

"Master Wang, you are truly a role model for our generation."

"His Royal Highness, this is really too much nonsense. As long as he is protected underground, no one can do anything to him."

"It doesn't matter that His Majesty the King is fooling around, it's just causing pain to the people of Datong."

The young official blushed with anger: "Lord Wang, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what His Royal Highness is doing is Guan Zi's Hengshan plan."

"The purpose is to lure them with profit and let those businessmen take the initiative to transport grain to the disaster area."

"And according to the current statistics of the imperial court, the amount of grain transported to Datong has reached 50 shi. If this grain were transported by the imperial court, it would not be able to be transported in such a short time."

"Under that kind of drought, would money be more important than human life?"

Lord Wang gently touched his beard, looked like someone who had come before, and chuckled: "I have never refuted this point, but no matter how much food this Lord has, what's the use if the people can't afford it?"

"Six taels of grain, after such a long time, the money in the hands of the people has probably been emptied by those profiteers."

"Haha, if it weren't for the cleverness of His Royal Highness, those Liangshan people might not have had the chance to sell grain at such a high price so blatantly, right?"

“What’s the difference between taking advantage of a drought to raise food prices and grabbing food tomorrow?”

"I am an official with limited talent and limited knowledge. I am afraid I cannot think of policies that are so harmful to the people."

Although Mr. Wang is not young, his body is still quite strong. He said so many words in one breath without blushing or breathing.

The young officials were not easy-going. As officials learning new skills, they would not take these traditional hierarchies too seriously.

In their hearts, apart from the current Emperor, the greatest person is His Royal Highness.

If you dare to ridicule His Royal Highness like this, you must be rude and go back.
