Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 307

Under the reign of Hongxi, who is not yet warm, almost everyone is talking about what happened in the past two years, especially the royal affairs, which makes people never get tired of it.

Some are worried, some are watching the excitement, and some are indifferent.

But no matter what, Zhu Gaosui's rebellion had a great impact no matter what, but compared with the imperial edict, it pales in comparison.

Like Zhu Gaosui at the beginning, everyone did not understand why the current emperor Zhu Zhanji did this.

However, with an edict, everyone's doubts were solved, and it also led them into deeper doubts.

The king of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui, colluded with Emperor Taizong's eunuch Huang Yan and secretly hid the imperial edict in an attempt to use this as an opportunity to coerce the king of Wu and his family to rebel.

However, thanks to the wisdom of the late emperor, he noticed King Zhao's misdeeds and changed his fiefdom to Shenyang Prefecture, thus preventing him from coercing King Wu and using the imperial edict as a threat to force him to rebel.

Now, King Zhao's rebellion is actually a rebellious move. He seizes his title, deposes him as a commoner, and assigns his slave to Gandu Siwu's Hewei.

This edict not only shocked the people, but also the officials and nobles in the court felt frightened after hearing it.

Huang Yan was indeed a eunuch during the period of Emperor Taizong, and he was also trusted by Emperor Taizong. He served twice as a eunuch and eunuch.

The Si Lijian is different from the Si Lijian who wielded great power in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The current Si Lijian is actually in charge of palace etiquette, congratulations to married women and other matters.

However, they have a very important job, and it is also taken seriously by people in this so-called posthumous edict incident.

Chronicles and imperial records.

The so-called chronology and memorials are actually the responsibilities of recording some important things and passing on memorial documents. Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited eunuchs from reading, so they don't need to worry about such things.

Thinking of this, the "real" story of the incident appeared in everyone's mind.

Emperor Taizong made a will before his death, but was stopped by Huang Yan, the eunuch who colluded with King Zhao. He intended to use this edict to "put the King of Wu at peace" to coerce the King of Wu into rebelling.

However, the matter was exposed and was discovered by the late Emperor Hongxi, who changed his brother's fiefdom from Zhangzhou Prefecture to Shenyang Prefecture, an extremely cold place.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, King Zhao knew that he would be liquidated sooner or later, so he took advantage of the death of Emperor Hongxi to raise an army to rebel.

When things developed to this point, everyone "suddenly realized" that it turned out to be such a process, which led to the development of things like this.

But after understanding it, people still feel... trembling about Zhu Zhanji's decision.

It's okay for King Zhao to rebel, seize his title, and depose him as a commoner. This can be said to be the fixed process that the royal family will go through after the rebellion fails, but the exile of Wu Hewei is really a bit...

It's too cruel.

Where is Wudihewei?It is now the northernmost place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still a place that cannot be actually controlled.

However, this lack of actual control does not refer to the previous restrained rule of the three guards of Wuliangha. Previously, the Jianzhou guards rebelled and united with the Haixi Jurchens and Beishan Jurchens, and were eventually wiped out by the imperial court.

This Wuhewei is where the Jurchens of Beishan are located.

It cannot be actually controlled. What I mean is that Ming Dynasty has not sent officials there yet, because it is further north than the Heishui River (Heilongjiang) and even further north than Sakhalin (Sakhalin) Island.

In the current climate, Shenyangwei can be regarded as a bitter cold place, and it is self-evident what a place like Wuhewei is like.

By banishing King Zhao there, it was clear that King Zhao was going to die.

Therefore, some people think that Zhu Zhanji is too ruthless. When Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, he changed the fiefdom of King Zhao to Shenyang Mansion. People already felt that it was ruthless enough. Now they directly exile Wu Hewei...

Although it's not as straightforward as the original Valley King's rebellion, but what's the difference from that one?

But, if you really want to say it, would you be cruel?
Hiding the edict secretly, with the intention of coercing the King of Wu and his family to rebel, this kind of behavior cannot be forgiven no matter who it is placed on or where it is placed.

He raised an army to rebel, and not only fought against his relatives, but also wanted to coerce him into opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty and establish the lineage of the King of Wu, which can be said to be thousands of miles away.

Therefore, some people think that this ending is not too extreme, and is even a bit light.

You know, if he succeeds, it will bring to Ming Dynasty not only a war that lasts for less than a month, but also all-round civil strife.

Thinking of the current strength of King Wu's lineage, and then thinking about the situation where King Wu's lineage and the imperial court were facing each other with weapons, everyone shuddered.

However, before they were surprised, another news came out that shocked everyone.

Zhu Zhanhe, the Crown Prince of Wu, entered the Eastern Chagatai Khanate from Lake Balkhash and the Ancient Silk Road, and his destination was...

Shuntian Mansion!
Wan'an Street.

In fact, as Shuntian Mansion was designed and built based on Yuan Dadu and Yingtian Mansion as a blueprint, the Wan'an Street here, like the Wan'an Street in Yingtian Mansion, is the most... well, backward street in the city.

But today, in this Wan'an Street, a group of extraordinary people gathered.

In addition to the well-known Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu, there are also Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, Wang Xiang, the commander of the Yanshan left guard, Qi Zheng, and Zhang Rong, the commander of the Jinwu left guard.

Just looking at these people is enough to make the Ming Dynasty tremble, because these people are either important civil servants or influential military generals.

That's not all.

In addition to these people, there are also Li Yi, the head of the household department, and...

Yu Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War.

Yu Qian's appearance here should actually be regarded as an accident, an accident that is very coincidental and difficult to repeat.

Nowadays, the area under the jurisdiction of King Wu's lineage is getting larger and larger. Many people in the court do not want to send people there, because it is difficult to say whether it will be a help to King Wu's lineage over time, but sometimes some Things are not something ordinary people can decide.

First of all, these are these places. Although they are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they are still labeled with the word Ming Dynasty. Since they were conquered by Zhu Zhanhe, the crown prince of Wu Wang in the Ming Dynasty, they are the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Article [-] of the Ming Dynasty Law: Those who lose their land must be killed.

In addition, sending officials to Xiangzhou Prefecture and Nanzhou Prefecture to assist in governance has been established since the Yongle period of Emperor Taizong. Even if you are unwilling, you cannot violate it.

In the end, it was okay for the imperial court to send people there. At least they could ensure that the people sent there were those they selected. If the imperial court did not send people, it would be even more uncontrollable for the King of Wu to choose his own people to govern.

As the territory conquered by Zhu Zhanhe became wider and wider, more and more officials were sent there. Although they were all newly promoted scholars, the number of officials in the imperial court was correspondingly reduced.

Also, it is undoubtedly very eye-catching that Yu Qian dared to write to Emperor Taizong at the Chuanlu banquet, saying something like resting with the people and showing kindness to the world.

In addition, the late Emperor Hongxi was the kind of emperor who wanted to recuperate and recuperate, so Yu Qian's appointment could be regarded as the result of the combined effect of time, situation, and Zhu Zhanhe.

However, the reason why they gathered here today was not to recuperate.

"Let's find a way!" Li Yi, who had saved this game, spoke first, with a gloomy light in his eyes.

"The Crown Prince of Wu came to Shuntian via the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Not to be missed!"
