Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 549 Zhu Di’s plan: Break the golden body!

Xu Miaoyun's hands couldn't help but tighten.

As a pillow person, she knew the purpose of Shiro's arrogant return.

First of all, he must be a son whose parents are about to pass away.

I hurried back, looking forward to seeing my parents one last time, supporting their parents' spirits in person, and holding a handful of earth for them in person.

Although Yanhua did not deliberately advocate filial piety to govern the world like the Ming Dynasty.

Yanhua is the pattern of governing the world with virtue, law, and profit.

But in Yanhua, virtues such as filial piety are no worse than in Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Yanhua doesn't pursue that rigid form.

In Yanhua, honoring your parents does not necessarily mean obeying your parents' words or arrangements.

Children can have their own ideas.

And he proposed it boldly.

When parents treat their children, they can pass on their life experiences to their children, but they can only serve as a reference for their children's life.

Just like Qihua.

Now she is a big girl in her early twenties.

They had indeed consulted the girl's thoughts. After all, in the past few years, the emperor's father and mother had written to her several times, and even sent people to urge her: it was time to find a good husband for the precious eldest granddaughter of the old Zhu family.

Ke Qihua, this girl, has high demands.

After trying to get to know the young hero from Yanhua they selected, he didn't want to.

In this regard, they did not force Qihua's marriage to be arranged.

The same was true for Yong Ming at the beginning.

If Yong Ming had not come back and fell in love with Zhang Qi's eldest brother's daughter, they would not have forced Yong Ming to get married in order to comply with their father's wishes.

At that time, my father had many girls ready for Yong Ming.

and so on, improvements and changes in morality.

It is filled with every aspect of Yanhua.

……

Secondly, when Shiro came back this time, he chose to stay even though he knew that the situation and situation would become more and more dangerous.

The last journey after seeing off my father, the emperor and my mother.

In fact, there are other purposes.

For example, breaking a person's 'golden body'!
Make plans for the safety of many relatives in the future.

……

Can……

It's really dangerous.

At this moment, various signs have shown that the eldest brother is really preparing to make some moves.

No one knows.

To what extent should these actions be achieved?

If it was just her and Shiro's first marriage, there really was nothing to be afraid of.

Life can sleep together.

Death can be in the same hole.

No regrets, nothing to fear.

But now, with a child, she really doesn't want to take risks.

……

Zhu Di noticed Xu Miaoyun's worry, looked around to make sure no one was watching them, and quietly reached out to hold Xu Miaoyun's hand.

He said softly: "Nothing, the worst thing is a sword fight. I have already arranged the children's escape route."

Xu Miaoyun nodded silently.

……

at the same time.

Fujian.

Min Town.

woo woo woo...

Several steam ships coming from Yanhua sounded their whistles and slowly sailed into the port.

"Quick, quick, quick, King Yanhua's ship is here. Unload the cargo quickly. Today's extra allowance is available again."

"Haha, that's right. As long as it's a ship from Yanhua, the price for loading and unloading cargo is higher than that of our Daming fleet."

"Stop talking, have the strength to talk, and move more goods. In addition to salary, you will also get subsidies. At the end of the year, you will get more dividends. Hurry up."

……

A large group of dock workers, chatting lively, flocked to the dock where the Yanhua fleet docked.

After the ship is docked and stabilized.

Deck bow.

A young man in his thirties stood at the bow of the ship with the ship owner, watching the lively unloading scene.

"Dr. Zhou's family, do you pay the Imperial Terminal Loading and Unloading Company a high salary?"

Zhou Dongjia was over forty years old. He smiled cheerfully and held out three fingers. "Director, the loading and unloading remuneration offered by our fleet from Yanhua is on average 50% higher than that of the maritime merchants from the imperial court." , To be honest, if we Yanhua hadn’t thought that we were all descendants of Yan and Huang, with such high loading and unloading remuneration, we Yanhua’s maritime merchants would have been able to defeat the imperial maritime merchants. Now it is not more than ten years ago, we Yanhua It’s time for the Chinese merchants to feel aggrieved and oppressed by the imperial court.”

oh?
The director is Fang Rui, director of the Military Intelligence Department.

Fang Rui chuckled and asked curiously: "Why is this so? Our Military Intelligence Department, under the order of the prince, did not develop a military intelligence system on the court side. We don't know much about these details."

This Zhou Dongjia is actually a member of their Military Intelligence Department.

The reason why Yanhua's Military Intelligence Department system can be spread overseas is all over the world.

They were even integrated into the Crusaders of the Eastern Expedition.

It relies on Yanhua’s maritime merchants.

The military intelligence system, centered on Yanjing, relied on the footprints of these maritime merchants and spread all over the world except the Ming Dynasty.

All the countries, political powers, and tribes that Yanhua can come into contact with from the ocean...

A steady stream of information was sent back to the intelligence center brain of the Military Intelligence Department in Yanjing.

From this central brain, more than a dozen small departments cooperate with each other to organize, organize, and analyze, remove the useless ones, and present the valuable ones to the prince and the cabinet.

This provides strong support for Yanhua's strategic decisions.

It can be said without exaggeration.

Yanhua has the most complete, powerful and advanced intelligence system in the world today.

The royal guards in the imperial court were so many generations behind.

However, Ming Dynasty is an exception.

The Military Intelligence Department in the Ming Dynasty had no system and could only summarize and compile information from maritime merchants.

Zhou Dongjia explained with a smile, "The reason for this, to sum up, is mainly from two aspects. First, our Yanhua's goods have high added value and high profit. This is still trafficked back to the imperial court. We all think that we are the same Yanhuang people." Descendants, thinking that more rural villages can use our Yanhua machinery to promote the development of rural communities in the Central Plains to a higher level, so they deliberately lowered their profits..."

……

"Secondly, it is our sea-going ships. Our Maritime Chamber of Commerce is still lamenting the wise decision of the prince to promote the upgrading of sea-going ships."

"Steam-powered sea-going ships are more efficient and have lower operating costs. The cost savings are enough to cover the costs of loading and unloading. Of course, we will only pay such a high price if we hire a dock loading and unloading company with a joint-stock system. The prices for dock loading and unloading groups in places like Jinling, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all paid too much by us before, but all of them were pocketed by those owners or gang leaders themselves. Later, we simply stopped paying such high prices. We give high prices because we want to do our best to help these ordinary workers, not to enrich a few greedy people."

"Our fleet also operates a labor share system. Our workers are willing to help these ordinary workers, but are not willing to help those greedy people."

……

Fang Rui listened patiently to Zhou Dongjia's chatter.

Strip valid information from it.

A smile gradually appeared on the corners of his lips.

Wait for Zhou Dongjia to finish speaking.

Fang Rui said with a smile: "Dong Zhou's family, let's go. You can help us sneak into the territory of Ming Dynasty. This time, once the prince turns against the prince, will our prince be able to escape? Our military intelligence department is also a more important link. We need to be more prepared." , just one more guarantee.”

"Director, don't worry, we peripheral personnel of the Military Intelligence Department are also well prepared. Since the prince left Yanjing, every merchant ship has been deployed in accordance with the requirements of the Military Intelligence Department. Not only have a large number of retired navy crew members been deployed, but also The weapons are all ready. If nothing else, we merchant ships can bombard Jinling City once we bring out the hidden artillery. Let’s see who dares to touch the prince’s hair!”

Fang Rui smiled, but there was a flash of worry in his eyes.

In fact, he did not agree with the prince's return.

……

When the sun sets over the western mountains.

The golden sunshine gave the entire imperial garden a layer of golden color. In this season, Jinling is actually not warm.

But Zhu Di and others had tried several times to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying to go back to the dormitory to rest, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying refused.

"Your mother and I will have plenty of time to rest in the future, but if we don't take a few more glances at the scenery outside and the air outside, and take a few more breaths, we won't have the chance in the future."

Zhu Di once again went to persuade, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to stop him.

Zhu Di had no choice but to say a few words.

Leave and give the two old men a chance to talk alone.

They knew very well the relationship between the old man and his mother.

The account given to them has been given.

Now the two old men definitely want to say something between them.

As children, they watched and blessed from a distance, and they had no regrets in this life.

Zhu Di was about to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Di's hand and tightened it, but Zhu Di still felt the weakness of this hand.

Compared to before, grabbing his hand and telling him was too weak.

Zhu Di endured the discomfort and forced a smile, "Dad, do you have anything else to explain to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Ma Xiuying.

The two old men smiled at Zhu Di and shook their heads.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it happily and said with a smile: "Our Zhu family has changed a lot because of you. Don't do anything else. That's enough. From now on, we must live a good life."

"In all our lives, we have conquered such a great empire, but we are never proud to have a son like you."

Zhu Di choked with sobs and nodded, with a dull nasal voice and a soft hum.

Ma Xiuying touched Zhu Di's cheek and said with a smile: "Go."

……

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying watched Zhu Di walking towards the place where the children gathered not far away.

His eyes were filled with relief.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, his arm trembling, in front of him, looking at the golden sunset, and held Ma Xiuying's hand with his other hand.

She said to herself: "Xiuying, in the first twenty years of our life, we struggled for a movable type. In the middle twenty years, we struggled for our ambitions. In the next thirty years, it was you who established the Ming Dynasty. , It’s the fourth child, let us wake up from our complacency and complacency. We dare not say how wise and powerful we are. After all, there are still a lot of chaos in the Ming Dynasty, but we can also say that we have a clear conscience..."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he felt Ma Xiuying's hand gradually stiffen. He exerted slight force, and even squeezed it with all his strength without any response.

Eyes reddish.

The corners of his lips trembled slightly.

But he smiled again.

She turned around and looked at Ma Xiuying, who was sitting in a wheelchair with her legs covered, spinning the first blanket in the Woolen Textile Industrial Zone of the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone, with a smile fixed on her face.

"You...we still have something to say to you, you...well, we don't need to be embarrassed now."

"Xiuying, there is something I have wanted to say to you for a long time. Ever since I saw our fourth child holding our girl Miaoyun in the palm of his hand, I have wanted to say it to you, but I just couldn't save my face. I felt that It’s so embarrassing.”

……

"The greatest luck in our life is not that we can go from being a monk holding a bowl and asking for alms to becoming an emperor and conquering such a great country with our heads tied to our belts."

"Our greatest luck is to marry you."

"Xiuying, we like you, the kind of love that we can't live without you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, blocking Yu Hui's hand, unable to fall...

There was a smile on her lips, and her eyes, which could only move, struggled to look at Ma Xiuying, who had a smile fixed on her face and was motionless.

The eyes that gradually lost their agility slowly closed weakly.

With indescribable emotions and smiles...

Finally close.

not far away.

Zhu Di and others have been paying attention here.

When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's hand falling down without control, it was obvious.

Everyone's eyes turned red instantly.

"Father!"

A group of people rushed over. Zhu Biao shouted in grief and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

Everyone knelt down.

……

The thirty-sixth year of Hongwu.

The twelfth lunar month.

eighteen.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying still did not survive this year.

The two old men, both with kind smiles on their faces, left peacefully without any regrets.

dong dong dong...

When nine bells rang in the imperial city.

Everyone in Jinling City who heard the bells knew that the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty was gone!
Word spread quickly.

The whole country is sad!

That night.

Jinling City is illuminated by street lights and the curfew has been lifted for several years.

Inside the lanes.

People wearing linen and silk, carrying the elderly and supporting the young, took the initiative to come out and enter Hongwu Avenue.

Along Hongwu Avenue, we began to gather at the Imperial City Square outside Hongwu Gate.

Outside the Hongwu Gate, behind the people who kowtowed and left, more people came.

As a result, so many people came that the court had to urgently deploy troops and horses into the city to help maintain order.

On top of the imperial city.

It is also already pure and pure.

Zhu Di was wearing plain linen clothes.

Standing next to Tang He who had taken over the military power in the capital, he looked down at the people kowtowing and listened to the faint sound of crying in his ears. Although he was sad, he was also happy, "Second uncle, my father has been successful in his life. Right?"

"Although I am a bit harsh on the officials, look at these people. Although the people in the city have not benefited much from this great change promoted by my father..."

"But, looking at the spontaneous actions of these people, it can also prove that the father is successful, right? History books and future generations must at least give the father a wise king, right?"

How will future generations evaluate this period of history?

He really can't predict.

After all, he knew.

Some people have done countless good things.

But they will also be splashed with dirty water.

He was discredited by some people with ulterior motives in later generations.

The people are simple and ignorant, and they are most easily led by others.

He did those things in Yanhua and didn't care what future generations would think of him.

But he was suddenly particularly concerned about how people would evaluate his father in the future.

"Of course it was a success!" Tang He nodded solemnly, "Whether it is history books or later generations, whoever dares to slander Big Brother has no conscience!"

"On the other hand, Fourth Brother, let's go. His Majesty hopes you can leave immediately."

Zhu Di shook his head and looked into the imperial city.

At this time, discussions were already underway in the imperial city to arrange for the eldest brother to ascend the throne.

This is also the tradition of all dynasties.

The previous emperor passed away.

First of all, it is not a funeral.

Instead, the new emperor will be determined immediately. After the new emperor ascends the throne, the funeral will be held.

"Second Uncle, I don't know how the current situation will develop. I may lose my golden body!"
