Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 525
Sun Ruowei's idea is very good.

Tongzhou is the gateway to Shuntian Prefecture. If Tongzhou is defended, although it cannot prevent Zhu Zhanhe from going north, it can at least intercept him for a period of time.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zhu Zhanhe cannot openly break into Tongzhou without a suitable name.

The Miaodao Islands are the gateway to Tongzhou. If the Miaodao Islands can be defended, the emperor's lineage will have a greater chance of winning, because Zhu Zhanhe's strength is maritime power. Unless he breaks up, Zhu Zhanhe will not be able to perform. room.

At that time, if Zhu Zhanhe dares to force his way in, Sun Ruowei dare not tell all the people in Tongzhou and Shuntian Prefecture, but she is confident that she can mobilize more than [-]% of the people to resist Zhu Zhanhe.

At that time, Zhu Zhanhe was in a dilemma.

If he breaks in by force, he will be completely destroyed. No matter how much he has contributed to the Ming Dynasty in the past, he will be just a rebel in the future.

And reputation is not the most important thing, because Zhu Zhanhe doesn't care about reputation very much. For Zhu Zhanhe, the most serious consequences of breaking in are the future.

Don't underestimate the ambitious people in this world. There are so many people like this. If Zhu Zhanhe's throne is even slightly flawed, he will face endless uprisings in the future, and the name of those ambitious people's uprisings is that one. A few minor flaws.

When the time comes, the history pen will be as strong as iron, and Zhu Zhanhe will still have a bad reputation in the history books.

But if he doesn't break through, he will give up the opportunity to sit on the throne. When Zhu Qizhen returns from the expedition, it will be even more difficult for Zhu Zhanhe to sit on the throne.

Of course, all of this is based on Zhu Qizhen being able to turn things around, otherwise...

Without Zhu Zhanhe taking action, the collapse of the emperor's lineage was like an avalanche, out of control.

……

Temple Island Islands.

Sun Ruowei's actions were still a step too late. She was destined not to capture the Miaodao Islands, even if she had thought of this earlier than Zhu Zhanhe.

During the Eastern Expedition, Zhu Zhanhe used the Miaodao Islands to organize his troops. His familiarity with this place was far beyond that of a woman who had lived in a deep palace compound for a long time.

However, he will definitely not be able to occupy Tongzhou. After all, it is the gateway to Shuntian Mansion and the fastest way to enter Shuntian Mansion.

Not to mention starting now, when King Wu's lineage withdrew from Shuntian Mansion, Sun Ruowei sent people to take over Tongzhou, using distant relatives of the Sun family.

As for the direct relatives... weren't they dragged out by the Empress Dowager Zhang as a scapegoat? As for your question, why are there still distant relatives left instead of being dealt with all together?

Sometimes, there are many things done for you to see, and even if you know what is going on, you can't turn your back because it is not easy to verify.

The world is so big, it is too easy to hide a few people.

"father……"

While Zhu Zhanhe was sitting alone in the tent, meditating, Zhu Qiming opened the tent door and poked his head in.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at his son.

"Cousin, he..." Zhu Qiming hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a letter from his sleeve pocket.

On it, there is the unique fire seal of the Crown Prince's guard.

"Are you brave?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows, took the secret letter from his son and threw it into the brazier.

"You dare to stop and read your father's and my letters first?"

"Hey!" Seeing his father throwing the letter into the fire without even reading it, Zhu Qiming stamped his feet anxiously.

"You haven't seen it yet!"

"There's nothing to see." Zhu Zhanhe glanced at his son very indifferently.

"There won't be any other news at this time. Is your cousin going on an expedition?"

"Uh..." Zhu Qiming was speechless.

Indeed, this is the news in the letter.

Although there would probably be no other news sent through the prince's guard channel at this time, what surprised Zhu Qiming was his father's attitude.

So calm, as if everything was under control.

Is this really the case?

Not entirely, Zhu Zhanhe himself can only say that he has a rough idea.

Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that he himself was an existence that should not exist. Because of himself, the trajectory of history has been greatly deviated, and there is no telling whether there will be other changes.

For example, in history, the Baozong "forced" his father to death, so he became angry and worked hard to become a wise king.

At the very least, the name Baozong may no longer exist in history, because Zhu Qizhen’s expedition this time is different from the historical one. Oara got involved with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate this time, and even some of the Seven Kansai David's participation.

Therefore, the direction of Zhu Qizhen's expedition was Liangzhou, not the north.

The reason why Zhu Zhanhe was very calm was because he had a rough grasp of the situation in Shuntian Mansion and knew that although his nephew was not a waste, he was not much better.

Facts have proved that Zhu Zhanhe's views on Sun Ruowei are somewhat pertinent. A woman with ambition and resentment will subconsciously train her children in the direction of revenge, rather than in a normal and outstanding direction. .

However, things in the world have their own destiny, and sometimes it is difficult for human intervention.

Even though Zhu Zhanhe was prepared that Zhu Qizhen would not become the Baozong and the emperor, the inertia of history caused many coincidences to promote other things to happen.

……

Zhu Zhanhe seized the Miaodao Islands. Although he did not continue to advance, he had already brought great pressure to the imperial court.

When Emperor Taizong was still on the throne, Zhu Zhanhe became famous and achieved quite unexpected results with a set of methods that were different from ordinary people. In the end, Emperor Taizong adopted Zhu Zhanhe's opinion and adopted Gongyang Xue as an official school.

However, as the King of Wu's line withdrew from Shuntian Mansion, the orthodox emperor took over power. In order to completely attack the power and foundation left by the King of Wu's lineage in the Ming Dynasty over the years, Sun Ruowei immediately abolished Gongyang after taking over power. He established Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as the official school.

In addition, Sun Ruowei also promoted a group of old Confucian scholars before Gongyang School was established as an official school as quickly as possible. These Confucian students were all scholars of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

This also led to the fact that Sun Ruowei, the empress dowager, was not the only one who was anxious about this expedition. Cheng Zhuli, a scholar promoted by Sun Ruowei, was also anxious.

Even more anxious than Sun Ruowei.

From the Yongle Dynasty to the present, even if they were only in their teens and 20s at the time, they must be 50 or [-] years old now. They were witnesses of that transition of power.

They knew very well the fate of the former Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian scholar.

Even San Yang, who has reached the level of the cabinet, has been purged. If power changes again, what will be the final outcome of these Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian scholars who have been re-experienced?
The results speak for themselves.

Therefore, although Wang Zhen was still as favored as in history, and this expedition passed by Wang Zhen's hometown as in history, he was unable to stay.

When passing by, even if the route is changed, going from Shuntian Mansion to Liangzhou Wei is just passing by Wang Zhen's hometown, instead of taking a special detour like in history.

In addition, this time there was no sudden heavy rain like in history.

but……

As the saying goes, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.

What they once imposed on others will eventually be returned to them in the same way.
