Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 154 Prince Zhu Biao passed away
The decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang this time was somewhat beyond Zhu Chu's expectations.

Zhu Ming never expected that he would make an extraordinary contribution, only to be scolded?
Is he wronged?

He was only 12 years old, but he went to the battlefield to defend his country and killed the enemy. He was also required to wipe Zhu Yuanzhang's butt and resolve the crisis between Hu Yuan and Yongchang Mansion. He was also required to consider returning to his native land, and he was required to find a way to conquer Yunnan. .

What did he get?
Who is he for?Isn’t it for the sake of their Ming Dynasty and the world of Lao Zhu’s family?

Yes, he has his own selfish motives, but at least you, Zhu Yuanzhang, is sitting in that position now, right?
Are you so chilling?

Zhu Zhen was so angry that he started to get angry when he returned to the house.

However, Zhu Chu closed the door and vented his anger only in front of Mu Qiu.

"He knows a hammer, but he still scolds me? Does he know my good intentions? As long as the chieftain system is not reformed, the problems of the natives will not be solved. If they are pacified today, they will rebel and cause chaos tomorrow."

"Is it wrong for me to reward the whole army? The Ming army fought bravely without fear of death. Shouldn't they be rewarded? Are you really going to paint a big cake and let the horses run away without letting the horses eat grass? Who will give you empty words to sacrifice your life? ? Do you really think everyone is a fool?"

"Believe it or not, there will be no reward this time. If this happens again next time, the entire army will defect."

After all, it was not unheard of in the late Ming Dynasty. Wherever King Chuang's troops went, the city gates were all opened by the defenders themselves.

Who will work for you?
Zhu Zhen was very angry and aggrieved. He wanted to run to the main hall of Yingtian Palace, point at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and yell at him.

You are really old and confused. Why is Hongwu the Great Emperor so great?

"Your Highness, your Majesty is trying to beat you, right?" Mu Qiu listened to Zhu Chu's complaints and complaints while looking at the decree he brought back.

Especially the few places where Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhu Chu made Mu Qiu feel moved.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhen was stunned and looked at Mu Qiu in confusion.

Mu Qiu showed Zhu Yu his fingers. Those were the places where Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhu Yu for killing Hu Yuan's family, secretly restored the Yongchang government system, and even appointed Yan Shitai as the prefect.

And Zhu Chu asked Etao to be the magistrate of Yingjiang County.

Even Zhu Zhen’s promise to make Yingjiang and Tengchong tax-free for five years.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but feel moved, and looked up at Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu frowned and said with a worried look: "Your Highness, you have been saying that although you are the vassal king, you should not interfere in local political affairs. But these few times, you have not only interfered in political affairs, but also restored Yongchang Mansion. The government system also directly arranged for a magistrate and a magistrate to accept their fate."

Zhu Ming blinked and realized in his heart that he had indeed overstepped his bounds, but he still said harshly: "Isn't it true that I obey the authority in a hurry?"

"So His Majesty did not blame you, but just scolded you," Mu Qiu raised his head and looked at Zhu Chu seriously.

Mu Qiu's meaning is very clear. It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Zhu Ming was eager to obey his authority, and it wasn't that he didn't know that what he did at that time was right.

But just because it's right doesn't mean it's what he should do.

If you do this every time, there is a reason to do it. For example, this time in Simodian, he arranged for Long Qu and Wu Yong to manage it on his behalf.

If all the officials in Yunnan are arranged by you, is this Yunnan your Zhu Chu’s Yunnan, or is it the Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty?
In the end, don’t even let the emperor speak. He will only listen to your orders.

Zhu Ming swallowed and started to sweat.

Looking at it this way, Zhu Yuanzhang is really beating himself up.

"But didn't I state my interests and harms in a statement later? I also explained these things," Zhu Zhen was still defending himself bravely.

"So you are going to kill me first and then tell me. Your Majesty will scold you next time. Just scold you," Mu Qiu comforted him in a funny way.

Zhu Ming snorted, but the boss was still unhappy.

"But what concerns me the most is here," Mu Qiu pointed to the very back of the fold, where there was a passage that said this.

'With your bastard character of doing things your own way, I even planned to transfer you to Minshan. After all, you are the King of Min, so I will let you make trouble in Minshan.It was your eldest brother Biao'er who tried his best to say good things for you that made me give up this idea.And your eldest brother is afraid that you will not have a good time in Yunnan. He has already sent you some things and they are still on the way. The end of the year should be here soon.Please thank your brother properly. '

"Your Majesty plans to change your vassal status?" Mu Qiu was a little worried. If Zhu Chu was changed, she would definitely follow him. After all, she was already Zhu Chu's woman.

But Mu Qiu's home is here, and of course she doesn't want to leave.

What's more, Zhu Chu finally established a foothold in Yunnan and wanted to join the vassal state elsewhere, which meant that he had to start all over again.

And once he offended Zhu Yuanzhang, he knew that Zhu Yu would not have an easy time going to Minshan.

Zhu Chu had read the content before, and at this time he was feeling frightened and angry.

What did I do wrong to deserve Lao Zhu for you to target me like this?

Am I still your son?

"This is to bully my weak foundation," Zhu Zhen sneered: "It was indeed raised by the stepmother. No, was it born by the stepmother? That's not right, anyway, it is a child born by a little wife who is not loved by others. What if it were Empress Ma instead? Take a look at my sons."

Not to mention the prince Zhu Biao, even if it were the second and third eldest son, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be happy to take it.

At the same time, Zhu Min also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to give Zhu Biao a good reputation and hinted that he should be grateful to his elder brother.

But Zhu Chu does have a good impression of Zhu Biao.

It's a pity that Zhu Biao's life was short.

"Your Highness, you have to keep a low profile," Mu Qiu sighed and had to tell Zhu Zhen.

Of course she doesn't want Zhu Chu to change the feudal land. This is her hometown. What's more, most of the people in Yunnan have begun to slowly accept and support Zhu Chu. No matter what aspect she considers, it is most appropriate to continue to stay in Yunnan.

Zhu Xi nodded: "I know, don't worry, we will just hide our capabilities and bide our time. I still don't believe he can live longer than me."

Mu Qiu glared at him and started talking nonsense again.

In Zhu Xi's heart, he began to make crazy calculations.

It seems that for many things that will happen next, I will no longer be able to do it myself.

Lao Zhu is beginning to be suspicious of himself and be wary of him. Could it be that he guessed that he was preparing to rebel?
But so what if you knew?How can you stop what I want to do?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, go to bed." Zhu Chu threw away the book and went to bed with Mu Qiu in his arms.

Mu Qiu shook his head and motioned to Zhu Zhen to look outside.

Zhu Ming sighed, stood up and walked outside.

When he opened the door, he saw a man kneeling at the door, it was Wang Fu.

"Why are you still here? Do you want to listen to the corner?" Zhu Zhen said angrily.

Wang Fu slowly raised his head and said seriously: "Your Highness, this general deserves death."

"What nonsense? I know you have a secret mission. This is your responsibility. And tens of thousands of troops are following you all the time. How can I hide it?" Zhu Chu rolled his eyes and pulled Wang Fu up from the ground.

He knew that Wang Fu was blaming himself, thinking that his secret had brought trouble to Zhu Zhen, and aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding and even suspicion.

But Zhu Ming knew that this had nothing to do with Wang Fu. Wang Fu's secret was just telling the truth, and his own memorial also wrote about these things.

Even Mu Qiu saw it just now. Zhu Yuanzhang was blaming Zhu Zhen for overstepping his bounds, and more than once.

This is knocking Zhu Chu, so it doesn’t matter whether there is Wang Fu’s secret. The key is that Zhu Chu did overdo it, or several things.

Zhu Zhen secretly hated him. Of course he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang favored Prince Zhu Biao.

But he had no choice.

You said you want to quickly conquer the hearts and territory of Yunnan people, what can he do?
Without this opportunity, how could Zhu Chu get most of Yunnan's territory and more than 300 million people?Where do the system’s tax resources come from?

Before that, Zhao Kuo and Muchun only obeyed his orders in name, but who knew what they actually thought?
But after this battle, the three major commanders had all pledged their loyalty to him. Although he did not dare to accept Muchun, he was confident that Muchun had a good impression of him.

There are also the two incidents between Etao and Hu Yuan, and in the past half month, he has inspected most of Yunnan, and he has also carried out the reform of returning natives to locals according to Simodian's approach.

If you do these things, you are transgressing.

But if he doesn't do it, Zhu Ming won't be able to develop his own power. What's the difference between that and salted fish?
So this was Zhu Chu's own choice, and Wang Fu can't be blamed.

Zhu Ming pulled up Wang Fu and said with a serious face: "Wang Fu, I am a man who wants to do big things. I have said more than once that there is a large area of ​​land in the south. No matter whether it is fertile or not, how can I allow others to sleep peacefully next to my bed?" ?" "You work hard for me. Sooner or later, I will take you out of the country to defeat the countries in Southeast Asia and subdue them."

Wang Fu's heart surged when he heard it, and he excitedly agreed: "Yes."

Zhu Chu smiled and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that although the Central Plains only had "one-third of an acre", he had to occupy that one-third of an acre first.

Otherwise, we will always be constrained from behind, and who can bear this?

Lao Zhu, don't be anxious. I know you are impatient, but don't be impatient. If we have a good time and can be a kind father and a filial son, you will be your Hongwu Emperor and I will be my vassal king. I will wait for you a hundred years before mentioning it again. Something about rebellion.

But if you don’t want to live a good life, then don’t even live in this home.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed far-sighted, and his hunch was accurate. If Zhu Yu had no system and no Yunnan as a base, he would indeed remain dormant.

But now that we have this territory, the system has begun to continue to exert force.

Zhu Ming finally started to show his fangs.

But it is a pity that because the prince Zhu Biao suddenly fell ill, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had time to take care of him. Therefore, he missed the best opportunity and the only opportunity to transfer Zhu Biao to Minshan.

Because after this incident, Zhu Zheng simply kept a low profile again. He no longer showed off or did things in a high profile, but secluded himself behind the scenes.

Even the blacksmith shop he bought originally was sold by Zhu Zhen.

What glass?What is glass?I do not know.

It is said that the blacksmith shop was bought by the wealthy businessman Shen Rong, along with a large number of surrounding houses, which originally belonged to Zhu Chu, and two places where soap and sugar were made.

Now these things have become Shen Rong's business.

Shen Rong even hired a large number of people from Yongchang Mansion, all of them Han nationality, to come here to help him.

It is said that some of them disappeared out of thin air, but soon appeared in some native tribes as acting managers.

Zhu Chu started to operate here. Shen Rong was naturally his economic consultant and commercial agent. Zhu Chu handed over all the things including glass to Shen Rong to take care of.

Moreover, Zhu Chu later helped Shen Rong create a mirror and develop soaps with various flavors, which made Shen Rong's business boom.

It is said that when caravans are sent to various parts of the Central Plains, they are always sold out immediately.

Who has seen a mirror nowadays? Rich people can still use bronze mirrors, but poor people can only use water as a mirror.

So once the glass mirror came out, it directly shocked the people of Ming Dynasty.

Shen Rong was not polite. According to Zhu Xi's instructions, these were initially sold as luxury goods to rich people. Anyway, they were rich and dared to ask for dozens of taels for a mirror.

And those soaps are also very popular among ladies and ladies. As for the soap, it has dropped from five taels of silver to a dozen copper coins, and the common people can afford it.

That's not all. Since making soap requires the use of vegetable oils and animal fats, Zhu Zhen simply mentioned the concept of toothbrushes and asked Shen Rong to think about inventing toothbrushes.

Although Zhu Zhen could also buy silver directly from the system, he did not do that, and because it was a huge profit, Zhu Zhen also asked Shen Rong to buy a large amount of grain from all over the Central Plains in case of emergency needs.

Moreover, these grains will not enter the city, but will disappear somewhere outside the city before entering Dali City.

All the food went directly into the storage compartment of Zhu Xi's backpack, and he was about to start secretly accumulating strength.

In addition to business, Zhu Zhen did not forget agriculture.

As winter turned to spring after the New Year, the Juliwu family finally got a large piece of land, and it was still far away from Dali City.

Zhu Zhen gave them some seeds and asked them to try sowing them first.

Among them are hybrid rice suitable for paddy fields, some crops such as corn and peanuts, and some crops that do not care about the land, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

All in all, Zhu Zhenxue became smarter. He no longer showed off his abilities, but honestly acted as an idle prince.

At least in the eyes of others, Zhu Chu didn't care about anything now. It was difficult for Li Shuran to even see him, because Zhu Chu took Mu Qiu, Wang Fu and others around all day long.

He doesn't go out of the city anyway. He either goes to listen to books or music, wanders around on the streets, or simply stays at home doing whatever he wants.

As for the reform he had been mentioning before, it was as if it had never happened.

But in fact, Zhu Chu had already arranged it. Didn't Yongchang Mansion exile many prisoners before?Zhu Ming selected many knowledgeable people in the name of Shen Rong, and then asked Wang Fu to quietly send them out of the city.

Therefore, after a period of time, the places and native people who had previously surrendered to Zhu Gong not only did not relapse, but became more loyal.

Because as the policy of reforming the native land and returning it to local people changed from overt to covert implementation, and all the chieftain families were executed, there was no way to stop them.

The common people suddenly discovered that without the oppression of the toast, everyone's life could be so desirable?

Everyone has land to plant, and the taxes are very low. Everyone has hope and is looking forward to harvesting as soon as possible so that they can have enough to eat.

As a result, the natives no longer had any resistance to the Ming and Han people, and they became more convinced of Zhu Zhen.

It's just that all these developments happened behind the scenes, and even Zhu Yuanzhang's Jin Yiwei, who had been hiding beside Zhu Chu for some time, never found any clues.

It's not that Zhu Ming knew that there was such a Jin Yiwei, but that after many things were arranged, he no longer needed to take care of them personally. After all, it was still a small-scale peasant society and had not yet entered the industrialization era.

So as long as we take care of the people and the land, that's enough.

And he has already arranged for people to do these things, so he really doesn't need to worry about it himself.

Even when farming was at its busiest, Zhu Chu was still idle all day long. Since he had a salary from the court to support him, why didn't Zhu Chu feel at ease and be a free king?

So he continued to play around in the company of beautiful women.

Different from Zhu Chu's leisurely life, somewhere in Yingtian at this time was extremely busy.

This is nowhere else but the Prince's East Palace, which is Zhu Biao's Prince's Mansion.

I saw that the door of the Prince's Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no usual bustling crowd.

Because in recent years, Prince Zhu Biao has fully taken over the state affairs, and all matters big and small must be reviewed by him first, and then some issues will be screened and handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang for personal review.

Therefore, many officials have to go to him first to explain the problem.

But at this time, the door was guarded by a group of guards with swords.

If a minister passes by here, he may exclaim, isn't this a palace guard?Is the emperor here?
That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the prince's mansion at this time.

The mansion was in chaos, and even all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital were called.

Zhu Yuanzhang was pacing back and forth in the yard, his face full of anxiety and worry, even a little panic?Even panic?

He was the Hongwu Emperor. How had you ever seen such a look on his face?

There is only one reason. Prince Zhu Biao is more seriously ill, and may even be terminally ill.

"How's it going? How's it going?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw many imperial doctors coming in and out of Zhu Biao's room, and they gathered together to discuss something in a low voice. He suddenly became furious: "You go in and cure Biao'er for us. If the prince is safe and sound, That's all, or I'll chop off your heads."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that even the civil and military officials of the court trembled three times. Not to mention these imperial doctors, all of them fell to the ground in fright, but they looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Among them, only one person raised his head, clasped his hands into his fists, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is extremely ill and there is really no way to save him."

Zhu Yuanzhang swayed and couldn't help but take a few steps back. His eyes widened, as if a lion wanted to choose someone to devour. He glared at the imperial doctor and shouted angrily: "What did you say? Do you really think we dare not kill your whole family?"

The imperial doctor sighed: "Your Majesty, Dai Sigong, dare not deceive your Majesty. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, suffered from colds a few years ago. He was frightened and overworked for a long time, and his energy, blood and spirit were deeply affected. Later, he became seriously ill. Your Highness This is for the sake of the country, the country, and the country, and I have to endure myself to death from exhaustion."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

He had already heard the implication of Dai Sigong's words.

Prince Zhu Biao was not only suffering from long-term illness and overworking and was exhausted to death, but at the same time, he also suffered from heart disease and was even scared to death?
Scared to death?Scared to death by whom?Who else could scare the prince to death?
"Biao'er, my Biao'er."

At the end of April in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, Prince Zhu Biao passed away.
