Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 155 Where should I put my face?

What a surprise!
Of course Zhang Yifan would not be happy, so he asked the messenger about the specific situation, and then Qianhu Qi Xiang was sent, asking him to lead ten sergeants to accompany him and rush to Guangdong Dusi that day.

Before noon, Zhang Yifan arrived at his destination, but was told that the commander was not there, saying that he had been summoned by Marquis Yongjia to discuss matters.

Zhang Yifan didn't wait and immediately went to Yongjiahou.

He was stopped at the gate of the military camp, saying that Marquis Yongjia was not there.

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he became angry on the spot and rushed inside!
He had an official position and was able to obey orders. After he was exposed, Qi Xiang and others had knives in their hands. If they dared to stop him and resisted the order, they would be killed without mercy.

Just like that, Zhang Yifan led them and rushed straight into the Chinese army's tent with murderous intent.

"Well, Marquis Yongjia!" Zhang Yifan broke into the military camp and looked at Zhu Liangzu, who had a look of surprise on his face. He shouted in a cold voice, "What crime should I face if I hide a woman in the military camp?"

I saw Zhu Liang's grandfather and son drinking and having fun in the Chinese army tent, accompanied by a group of women.

After Yongjiahou came back to his senses, he waved his hands to make those women retreat, and then he said to Zhang Yifan with a smile: "My son-in-law, don't be so angry, if you hurt your health, come and sit, let's eat and drink together. "

When his son saw it, he quickly ordered someone to put a new one on the table.

At the same time, Zhu Liangzu continued to smile and said to Zhang Yifan: "I haven't seen the prince-in-law for a long time, and I want to talk to him. I can't leave the military camp privately, so I have to use this method to make the prince-in-law have a hard time. Sin, sin, for a while I punish myself with three cups!"

Seeing his smile, Zhang Yifan didn't have an attack. After sitting down, he said in a cold voice, "I hope you have enough reasons. Otherwise, if you interfere with business, don't blame me for not being friendly, just tell the truth!"

Zhu Liangzu's expression changed when he heard this, but finally he smiled again, and said to Zhang Yifan: "My son-in-law, you're out of touch now. Anyway, I've helped you a lot. Do I have anything to say about your matter? You I said to release those minzhuangs, so I let them go. Even if they were confiscated later, the minzhuangs in your Xiangshan County were not confiscated. I personally led three thousand horses to help you with a letter from you, which is not enough. ?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan thought for a moment, and finally softened his expression and said: "Then why do you want the navy to go out to exterminate the pirates this time? You have to understand that this is not a request. I have the emperor's decree and it involves Xiangshan. County matters have the power to order local governments to cooperate.”

"Hahaha, I know, I know!" After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu did not talk back, but just said with a smile, "There are some things that are difficult to explain in a letter, so I had to make this decision and ask the consort to come. I will punish myself. Three cups!”

Having said this, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Then his son saw it and hurried over to help his father fill it up and drank three glasses in a row.

Then, Zhu Liangzu said with a smile: "How about it, the prince-in-law should have calmed down, right?"

But who knows, Zhang Yifan said to him seriously: "I am on official business, can I just punish myself with three cups of wine? Then my father wants you to do something later, and if you don't do it, you will punish yourself with three cups of wine. What do you think?" What will my father do to you?"

"..." Zhu Liangzu was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing Zhang Yifan, he calmed down and said, "I hope that this kind of thing won't happen again during official business. This time, let's forget it. Tell me, what do you have to ask me in person? "

After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu reluctantly showed a smile. His expression was obviously a little more unnatural than before, and he said to Zhang Yifan: "Logically speaking, if the prince-in-law does something in Xiangshan County, it will be difficult for the local government to make irresponsible remarks. This point , I understand. However, I’m afraid the prince-in-law doesn’t know that after the incident about the field in Xiangshan County came out, many people criticized it. Really, I heard many people say this. They all thought this was too outrageous. I came up and wanted me to talk to the prince-in-law!"

Having said this, he took a look at Zhang Yifan's face, and then immediately continued: "Not only the local government has opinions on this matter, but also the court. The prime minister even said that this is chaos in government!"

"Haha!" After hearing this, Zhang Yifan finally understood that his new policy had harmed the interests of the powerful.There are no powerful people in Xiangshan County, but powerful people from other places jumped out to oppose it.

Seeing his expression, Zhu Liangzu hurriedly continued: "My son-in-law, speaking of it, we are friends, and I can't bear the heart of you, my son-in-law, not knowing about the anger of the public. Therefore, I had no choice but to use this method to invite my son-in-law to come here. Tell the son-in-law how powerful it is.”

At this point, he showed a sincere expression, as if for Zhang Yifan's sake, he said to Zhang Yifan: "If you don't talk about other things, just this grain field matter is really over the top. Whether it is the local government or the court, everyone has opinions. . Prince-in-law, please think about it, can it be a good thing that so many people are opposed to it? Even your Majesty, I am afraid you have to consider the wishes of the civil and military officials? When that time comes, the prince-in-law may be punished, so why not think about it? Think about it, let’s forget about this matter of grain field allocation?”

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan did not speak immediately. He just looked at Zhu Liangzu. Seeing that Zhu Liangzu's expression was a little unnatural, he asked: "What if I continue to insist?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Liangzu seemed to want to get angry.But in the end, he endured it.

He seemed to be feeling a little irritated, so he reached out and grabbed the wine bottle from his son's hand, poured himself a glass directly, and then drank it down without saying a word.

He didn't speak, but Zhang Yifan spoke.I heard him say to Zhu Liangzu: "You think I don't know, it's nothing more than profit. I am working on this matter of returning grain fields to the public and redistributing it in Xiangshan County. If it is implemented well, your Majesty will probably implement it nationwide. So. As soon as it comes, people who have a lot of grain fields in their hands can't sit still. Marquis Yongjia, am I right?"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Zhang Yifan for a while, and then said angrily: "It's good that you know! If you act like this, you can't get along with everyone!"

"Hehe!" Zhang Yifan sneered, then stared at Zhu Liangzu and asked, "Who are these people? If this matter is not good, then I will carry it out, and some people will object. But why, I will carry it out in Xiangshan County and is still very popular? This shows that for the vast majority of people in Xiangshan County, this matter is good. By extension, as far as the country is concerned, for the vast majority of Daming people, It will be good too. Right?”

Zhu Liangzu ignored him, reached out and picked up a chopstick to eat, and then went to pour the wine.

"Who do you think His Majesty will side with?" Seeing him like this, Zhang Yifan still said there, "Would he side with the very small number of people who own grain fields, or would he side with the vast majority of Ming people?" This way?"

After Zhu Liangzu heard this, he stopped when he was about to pick up the wine glass. Then he looked at Zhang Yifan and sneered: "Of course your Majesty is on the side of our civil servants and military generals! We are all brothers who founded the country and conquered the country together!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down again.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan immediately asked him: "Then let me ask you, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and his civil servants and generals are on the same side, and they are on the opposite side of all the people. What will be the result? Doesn't your majesty know this lesson? Once a very small number of people and the Do you think His Majesty will still side with the civil servants and military generals when it comes to conflicts of interest among most Ming people?"

Hearing this, Zhu Liangzu couldn't help but be stunned.

However, he quickly came to his senses and said to Zhang Yifan with great dissatisfaction: "These things didn't happen in the first place. They were all caused by you!"

"So, a very small number of people occupy most of the grain fields, and there will be land annexation, attracting hermit households, and accepting hermit fields?" Zhang Yifan sneered after hearing this, "Do you know that this is a moth, lying on the ground of the Ming Dynasty?" The blood-sucking insects on the body have robbed the royal court of taxes and population. Will Your Majesty tolerate it?"

At this point, he softened his tone a little and said to Zhu Liangzu: "Just watch it, what I have to do is not just this one thing, there are other things. I will find a way to benefit everyone." To balance. Your grain fields will not be given to the imperial court in vain."

After Zhu Liangzu heard this, he slapped the table with his hand, causing the tableware on the table to scream, and then shouted sternly: "Let's recognize the grain fields!"

Zhang Yifan actually also understands that in the ancient people's concept, grain fields are equal to houses in future generations and are the most important assets.

Therefore, he did not mind Zhu Liangzu's attitude. Instead, he said to him: "Don't you recognize money? Isn't it just to have food in grain fields? If you pass it on, your descendants will have no worries, right? But if I treat you He said that when there is more food in the future, people in the Ming Dynasty will not worry about food. So you still have to hold on to the grain fields? If you have money, you can not only buy food, but also other things. Isn't this better? "

"Haha!" Zhu Liangzu sneered after hearing this, "What do you know at such a young age? You have never experienced famine! I have seen Yi Zi cannibalize each other, and some people died from eating Guanyin soil!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan pointed to the south with his hand and said: "Over there in Nanyang, the land is ripe three times a year. As long as Nanyang is included in the sphere of influence of our Ming Dynasty, we will use it as a granary. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will not be short of food." .”

Zhu Liangzu was stunned for a moment when he said this. It was obvious that he had never thought about it before.

However, after he came to his senses, he finally shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not agree. In short, I advise you to give up on the matter of grain fields!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang indeed had no ambition to expand.Even Annan, that is, Jiaozhi, would not send people to conquer it until Zhu Di became emperor.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan wanted to persuade Zhu Liangzu, so he said to him again: "Your Majesty, I am there, and I will persuade you later. I believe that after your Majesty knows the benefits of Nanyang, he will definitely not abandon it." Zhu Liangzu listened. He just curled his lips and sneered silently. He probably didn't agree and went to pick up vegetables again.

Zhang Yifan looked at him and knew in his heart that he still didn't believe it.

To be honest, it is normal for Marquis Yongjia not to believe it.It is estimated that at this time, no one in the Ming Dynasty thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be interested in Nanyang.

Only after Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the southwest, northwest, north and Liaodong areas of the Ming Dynasty could he turn his attention elsewhere.

However, it is only the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, and Lan Yudu is still just a commander. He will have to wait until he wins the Battle of Yuerhai and almost destroys Meng Yuan before he can solve the problem in the north.

But then, it’s still early!
With this in mind, Zhang Yifan asked directly: "Now I want to use water to destroy pirates. This is the power given by Your Majesty. Will you give it to me?"

After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu looked up at him, without any fear, and just said lightly: "Here, how dare I not give it! But at this time, the navy's ships all had problems and were being overhauled. It is estimated that at least one It will take months to fight!"

Zhang Yifan naturally heard it. They didn't openly resist the order and just found reasons to delay it. It was just because the matter of returning the grain fields to the public was not negotiated properly and they started to delay it.

At this time, if he suggested that he should go to the Navy base to visit.Believe it or not, Yongjia Hou can really let someone dig a hole in the boat. Anyway, he has a way to delay it.

This is where the court sends people, and if there are no obedient people to cooperate, it will be difficult to do things.

For this reason, even if he goes to the court or goes to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he is not afraid.Even he is the most willing to make a fuss and procrastinate first.

Of course, if Zhu Yuanzhang comes, he has enough prestige. If the local people dare to do this, he can directly chop off people's heads.

However, Zhang Yifan does not have the power to do this yet.

If Marquis Yongjia doesn't cooperate and can't transfer the navy, that will be a trouble!

Zhang Yifan frowned, thinking how to deal with this matter?

It would be childish to threaten him with the matter of the Tibetan women in his military camp.As for this little mistake, people don't care at all.Otherwise, it would be impossible for outsiders to see it.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Yongjiahou and said: "It's just a little field, and you are the first to come out to embarrass me. Do you know that you are being used as a weapon?"

Zhu Liangzu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he looked indifferent and started eating and drinking again.

When Zhang Yifan saw him, he said to him again: "If you cooperate with me well and don't say anything else, I can give you a clear path to ensure your smooth sailing in the future. But if you jump out like this to make things difficult for me, I can guarantee that, You will have a hard time in the future."

"Haha!" After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu smiled disdainfully, then put down his chopsticks, stared at Zhang Yifan and said, "Who do you think you are, just a consort, and you are here to threaten me, a noble prince?"

To be honest, he is really not afraid of the mere prince-in-law!
"So, you and the prime minister are very close, right?" Zhang Yifan asked with a sneer after hearing this.

Zhu Liangzu was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect him to say that.

Zhang Yifan knew that he was not convinced by Marquis Yongjia, so he stood up and said coldly to him: "For the sake of your three thousand cavalry army, I will give you a piece of advice. You are a marquis of the court, not a marquis of the prime minister." , stay away from the prime minister and do your duty!"

At this point, he paused and added: "Also, don't embarrass the Magistrate of Panyu County because of your rich and unkind father-in-law. Local affairs are not your generals' responsibility to interfere."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

When he arrived at the door, Zhang Yifan suddenly stopped again, turned to look at Zhu Liangzu who was still sitting there, and said in that firm tone: "I'll give you three days to think about it. If you don't see the navy sent after you go to heaven, you will I regret being the first one to jump out and embarrass me.”

After saying that, he stopped staying and strode away.

Watching him leave, Zhu Liangzu's son Zhu Xian was a little worried and said to Zhu Liangzu: "Dad, he is the emperor's favorite consort!"

Zhu Liangzu stared at the door of the camp and raised his hand to signal his son to stop talking.

Although Zhang Yifan could no longer be seen, he still looked at him and shouted coldly: "If my hereditary marquis, who has the ironclad authority, is really frightened by a mere consort, he must listen to his words without even having a hair on his head." , where can I put my face?"

At this point, after he paused, he sneered again and said: "If you give him a slap in the face, just slap him on the nose. If you have to show him some color, let him know whether I, Marquis Yongjia, am easy to mess with!" Damn it!”

After finishing speaking, he slapped the table hard, stood up and turned around to leave.

When Zhu Xian saw it, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhu Liangzu: "Dad, this matter does not require us to rush forward and fight against the prince-in-law. Just as the prince-in-law said, will we be used as a weapon?"

At this point, he was afraid that his father would be angry, so he quickly added: "Dad, actually I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little angry. Some people will probably hide in secret and have fun. I definitely didn't mean that dad was afraid of the prince-in-law." .”

After hearing this, Zhu Liangzu turned around and stared at his son, and finally said angrily: "In short, it is impossible to send out the navy!"

Originally, he wanted to take the initiative to cause trouble and teach this hairless consort a lesson.However, after listening to his son's words, he finally gave it up.However, the navy still did not send.

Zhu Xian watched his father turn away and didn't dare to persuade him. In the end, he could only sigh.

He is also considered an unlucky person. In the original history, his father killed Daotong for his father-in-law, and then he was implicated and they were whipped to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill his father, and he was a brave and resourceful man, he was implicated.

Now that his father was angry, he didn't have the guts to persuade him any further, and he faintly felt that it was very inappropriate.

As for Zhang Yifan, after leaving the military camp, he went to Guangzhou City to find Fang Keqin, the prefect of Guangzhou, to see if he could think of something in his name.

After all, destroying the pirates at the Pearl River Estuary would also benefit Guangzhou and other places greatly.

However, Fang Keqin had a look of helplessness on his face. He was almost as old as Zhang Yifan, and he didn't have Zhang Yifan's resources. He was still fighting in the government office with those subordinate officials, and he didn't have the ability to help at all.

In desperation, Zhang Yifan could only return to Xiangshan County empty-handed and find another way.

"Prince-in-law, will Marquis Yongjia send out naval forces within three days?" Qi Xiang asked with a frown on the way.
