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

Chapter 155 King Yan, how to establish it?
The sudden death of Prince Zhu Biao, which can also be said to be an untimely death, directly shocked the entire government and the public.

Zhu Yuanzhang even cried until he fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, there were doctors from the entire Imperial Hospital on site, and they quickly revived His Majesty.

But Zhu Yuanzhang cried when he woke up, and cried to death several times.

If it weren't for the clever methods of these imperial doctors, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been in trouble at such a young age.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also all the civil and military officials in the dynasty cried. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, perhaps many officials among them cried even more sadly when they thought that after the death of the Renyi Prince, no one could stop Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife.

I have to admit that Zhu Biao has indeed won the hearts of the people and the support of hundreds of officials. After being the prince for so many years, he is almost a little emperor.

The prince who Zhu Yuanzhang had trained for so many years passed away suddenly, which was difficult for even the civil and military officials to accept.

What's more, the prince has been in power for so many years, and everyone in the court has worked together to assist the emperor and the prince, and the country has been consolidated forever.

But if the prince dies and the position becomes vacant, there is no guarantee that political turmoil will not occur.

What if the second eldest Qin King Zhu Ping is allowed to succeed him as the crown prince?
The key is that the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, was violent and capricious. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he committed many evil deeds and was not favored by all the officials.

In addition to the King of Qin, Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate son, the biological son of Queen Ma, and the third King of Jin, Zhu Fan.

However, Zhu Fan once galloped his horse and bound his men to split his chariot, and Zhu Yuanzhang almost even wanted to depose Zhu Fan's title.

Naturally, this third child is not suitable to inherit the throne.

As for the fourth king of Yan, Zhu Di, and the fifth king of Zhou, Zhu Ji.

Although King Yan Zhu Di had led Fu Youde and other large armies to achieve military exploits in the name of King Yan just a few years ago.

It's a pity that he was directly outmatched in front of the unparalleled achievements of His Highness King Min.

Moreover, there was King Qin before him and King Jin after him, so it was King Yan’s turn.

The prince's body was not cold yet, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had already begun to consider the issue of succession.

I don’t know what Zhu Biao would think if he knew what these people were thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really heartbroken.

He lost his father and mother when he was young, his wife in middle age, and now he has lost his son in old age.

The sad things in life are nothing more than this.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of sons, only Zhu Biao was different.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was crying all day long, and he was in tears all day long. For this reason, he stopped going to court for several days and had no intention of managing political affairs anymore.

It's as if even this country has no meaning after the son he loves most is dead.

In the past few days, the imperial physician Dai Sigong did not dare to leave even a step, lest he missed anyone and the Hongwu Emperor would follow the prince.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Dai Sigong while crying: "Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"

Dai Sigong was the one who bluntly said that Zhu Biao was terminally ill that day, and it was he who asserted that there was no cure.

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Dai Sigong just sighed silently and said: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, and you need to host the prince's funeral, not to mention that the world cannot be without a king for a day. Even if you want to kill the minister, the minister will still be there." Want to say."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill your son?"

"If I could die for the prince's burial, I would be willing to do so, even if my whole family was buried," Dai Sigong said without any fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at Dai Sigong, with exquisiteness and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

But after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang started crying again: "Biao'er, my Biao'er."

Dai Sigong also shed tears after hearing this, but he still did his duty faithfully and checked Zhu Yuanzhang's pulse, not daring to let him have the slightest problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang was grieving like this for days, but he still had to insist on presiding over Zhu Biao's funeral in person.

Especially when I met Zhu Biao's family, I burst into tears.

Zhu Biao's crown princess was Chang Yuchun's daughter. Unfortunately, she died prematurely more than ten years ago. Now she is succeeded by Lu, the daughter of Lu Ben, the minister of Taichang Temple.

Zhu Biao's eldest son was Zhu Xiongying, the son of Concubine Chang. He was born in the seventh year of Hongwu and died in the 15th year of Hongwu. He was not canonized because he was only eight years old.

Zhu Biao had a total of five sons, only two of whom were born to Concubine Chang, and the third son, Zhu Yunxi, was born in the 11th year of Hongwu and is now only 14 years old (one year older than the protagonist Zhu Yu).

On the other hand, Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen was actually the son of his step-concubine Lu and was born in the tenth year of Hongwu.

In fact, logically speaking, since Zhu Yunxi is still there, then Zhu Yunxi is the legitimate son, and Zhu Yunwen is not considered the legitimate son.

Of course, I can't think about this now.

Zhu Biao also has two sons, one is Zhu Yunzhen and the other is Zhu Yunxi, but they are too young, especially Zhu Yunxi, who was only born last year and is only one year old now, so he has no idea what happened.

Looking at this group of orphans and widowed mothers, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more sad.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly noticed one thing, that is, among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, only one person was missing, and that was Lan Yu.

Speaking of Lan Yu, he is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, which is equivalent to Zhu Biao's wife's uncle, and he is somewhat related to Zhu Biao.

Now that the news of Prince Zhu Biao's death has spread, Lan Yu didn't come back for the funeral as soon as possible?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Duke Liang, you really want to be cool.

At the same time, news of the death of Prince Zhu Biao began to spread.

In an instant, the entire Ming Dynasty fell into deep sorrow.

Prince Zhu Biao's reputation for benevolence and justice is obvious to all, and he has visited places on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang more than once.

When he died now, even the common people lamented the loss of a king.

Especially when the news reached Yunnan, although most of the chieftains didn't take it seriously and the natives didn't care at all, the Ming army spontaneously put on white clothes and sent the prince off in full uniform.

In Kunming City, in the Xiping Marquis Mansion, when Mu Ying learned the news, she cried so much that she fell ill from the sadness.

The relationship between Mu Ying and the Zhu family is rare. When she first learned that Queen Ma had died of illness, she did not eat for three days. She was so sad that she coughed up blood and almost fainted.

Now he almost seems to be following Zhu Biao.

In Dali City, although Zhu Chu had foresight and had foreseen Zhu Biao's death, he swore that he really didn't know when his eldest brother would die.

Zhu Zhen knew that Zhu Biao died young, but he did not know the reason for Zhu Biao's death or the year or month in which he died.

So even if Zhu Ming had the system by his side, he couldn't do anything.

Without knowing the cause of death, there is no way to administer medication.

We don’t know the date of death, and we can’t avoid it.

If he dares to talk nonsense, he can even write to Zhu Biao and say, brother, be careful, don't die.

Believe it or not, Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that he was the one who cursed Zhu Biao to death?

So Zhu Ming didn't dare to do anything and couldn't do anything. He could only wait for this day to come.

And although Zhu Chu had been prepared for a long time, as soon as Zhu Biao died, and a hundred years later after the old man Zhu Yuanzhang, he would be ready to rebel.

But when the day finally came, Zhu Zhen still sighed deeply: "Brother, have a good journey."

Recalling that gentle and graceful figure, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears.

Born in an imperial family, even his biological brothers did not send him to join the feudal clan. It was this eldest brother who gave him a gift.

This is a rare family relationship. Although the two of them do not have the same mother, they have the same father after all, and they have many similar blood and genes flowing in their bodies.

Zhu Ming once secretly swore that since his arrival would keep Xu Da alive until now, if his eldest brother Zhu Biao did not die, he would be willing to be a vassal king guarding the border and assisting his eldest brother.

Unfortunately, he is still dead.

"Pass my order," Zhu Zhen suddenly gave the order: "Inform Li Shuran that the prince has passed away and the whole city has been in silence for three days."

"Yes," Wang Fu wiped away his tears and turned to leave.

Zhu Feng was supposed to be the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and even more so the ruler of benevolence. With him around, there would be nothing wrong with Renzong.

This word 'benevolence', he does his part.

But it's useless to say anything now.

The death of Prince Zhu Biao was too sudden, which was a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang. Even many arrangements and measures that Zhu Yuanzhang had originally planned for Zhu Biao were meaningless at this time.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang once had the idea of ​​moving the capital.

Now that the prince is dead, why should he move to another capital?Why move the capital?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that everything was lost and everything was lost.Naturally, he couldn't even take care of this bastard Zhu Zhu.

But just when he was so shocked that he almost couldn't bear it and followed his son.

Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen brought him some comfort, and the grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried.

But sometimes, although death is a sad thing, for some people, it may not be an opportunity.

Just like this Zhu Yunwen.

No matter in terms of identity or status, he has no so-called inheritance qualifications in this life. Unless Zhu Yunxi dies, that is, the children of Zhu Biao's original concubine Chang Concubine are gone, and Concubine Lu's children are truly legitimate children.

According to the order of succession, Zhu Yuanzhang would either choose the crown prince from among his sons, that is, the second Qin King Zhu Ping.

Alternatively, Zhu Yuanzhang could choose the emperor's grandson from the legitimate son of Prince Zhu Biao, and that would be Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunzhen was the eldest son of a concubine. He would not be able to ascend to the throne until Zhu Yunzhen died.

What's more, Lao Zhu also has sons, the second, third, fourth and fifth, which one can't be chosen?
But after Zhu Biao passed away, Zhu Yunwen stayed with Zhu Yuanzhang every day. When Zhu Yuanzhang cried, he also cried, showing his utmost filial piety.

Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang even felt that he saw the shadow of Zhu Biao in Zhu Yunwen, and he finally took comfort in him and felt better.

Otherwise, given Zhu Yuanzhang's current age and the loss of a son in old age, and the death of his beloved prince, he might not really cry out.

So Zhu Yuanzhang began to take Zhu Yunwen with him. Although he hadn't made it clear yet, many people had already seen the clues.

Is Zhu Yunwen going to be the emperor's grandson?

During this period, some civil and military officials also mentioned that for the sake of the country's foundation, the candidate for the crown prince must be established early.

Zhu Yuanzhang also asked at the beginning: "The King of Yan is as brave as me, how can I establish it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that the second and third sons were not economical, so if they were allowed to become emperors, they would probably end the entire Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he did not consider the King of Qin and the King of Jin at all, and directly asked, how about making King Yan the prince and crown prince.

Before Zhu Chu, King Yan was one of the nine vassal kings, guarding the border of Yanjing.

In front of Yanjing is the Great Wall, and outside are the grasslands and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In addition, last year Zhu Di was nominally the commander-in-chief, and Fu Youde's army was defeated without any effort. If it weren't for Zhu Chu's extraordinary contribution, this would be a great achievement.

Zhu Yuanzhang even said, "The one who clears the desert is the King of Yan. I don't have to worry about looking north."

As a result, Lao Shiba's achievements were so great that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to praise him and even called him "my tiger son" in front of all the officials in the court.

But then I thought something was wrong, so I didn’t mention it again.

But King Yan Zhu Di was old enough, had served as a vassal for many years, and was quite famous. Unlike his two brothers, Zhu Di was well aware of the sufferings of the people and paid attention to caring for them, so he was deeply loved.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang mention Zhu Di, all the officials looked at each other and thought, isn't it Zhu Yunwen?

But if you think about it carefully, Zhu Di is the fourth son of Emperor Hongwu anyway, and he is the direct descendant of Empress Ma. No matter how you think about it, he is more qualified than Zhu Yunwen, the son of the prince's concubine.

In addition, where is Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige? With his eyes swept away, who dares to object?

But just when all the civil and military officials remained silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was moved. He turned to look at Xu Da, who was at the front of the generals' queue below, and asked, "Xu Da, what do you think?"

Xu Da and King Yan also have a relationship. Princess Yan is Xu Da's eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun.

So Zhu Di is still Xu Da's son-in-law.

Xu Da clasped his hands in his fists and said only one sentence: "I am a military general. Your Majesty wants me to lead the troops to fight. I will not hesitate. This is state affairs. Your Majesty can do whatever you want. I will not interfere."

Zhu Yuanzhang is funny and angry, but he also knows Xu Da's character and temper. He has always adhered to his duty. Many times, he would force him to help him make decisions. Otherwise, Xu Da would never ask more questions or give random opinions.

What's more, his son-in-law is now suspected of being involved.

But at this moment, one of the civil servants stood up: "I, Liu Sanwu, have objections. If your Majesty wants to establish the King of Yan, where will the two kings of Qin and Jin be placed? Since ancient times, only by establishing direct descendants can we avoid fighting with the same room. What's more, the emperor Sun Nianfu, his legitimate son, and his son's death, Sun Cheng, is suitable for governing the rites. He also has the demeanor of a prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked all over. When he heard the prince's demeanor, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but start to shed tears again.

In the end, he couldn't even hold the court meeting and left in tears.

Even the civil and military officials couldn't help but shed tears when they heard about it. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the decisive killing power of Emperor Hongwu. He was just an old man in his 60s.

Xu Da also let out a long sigh: "Prince, I am the national weapon of the Ming Dynasty, but my Ming Dynasty is not blessed."

All the officials were moved.

As for the matter of establishing a reserve, it has been put on hold for the time being.

But in June of the 25th year of Hongwu, bad news came again from Yunnan.

In Dali, Yunnan, Zhu Ming is very free now. He has arranged many things, and there are also people helping him take care of them.

All business matters were handed over to Shen Rong. He was the eldest son of Shen Wansan. He was extremely talented in business. He not only organized a caravan to do business in the Central Plains, but also followed Zhu Min's earlier ideas to join forces with Yingjiang and Tengchong. As well as several cities in Lijiang, we led them to do business together in the form of agents.

Not only the Central Plains, but also a large amount of money and food from surrounding areas and foreign countries are being continuously transported to Yunnan.

At the same time, Zhu Chu was also developing agriculture. Although many seeds have not yet been released, the Curie House family is responsible for secretly cultivating those seeds, and it is said that the results are good.

Not only was it good, Curie was almost frightened.

Wu Hui's book "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in Chinese Dynasties" has a rough estimate of the average grain yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that the average grain yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty was about 350 kilograms.

What is the yield per mu of hybrid rice?Regardless of individual cases, it can almost reach a yield of [-] to [-] kilograms per mu, which is about [-] to [-] kilograms.

Not to mention the dry fields that are not suitable for rice can be planted with corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Yunnan potatoes are also considered a specialty, and the environment here is very suitable for potato production.

The yield of this thing can reach up to thousands of kilograms per mu, and there are even more, and only a lot more.

The yield per mu was a thousand kilograms, and everyone in Curie House was stunned.

And potatoes, that is, potatoes, are not picky about living conditions at all, which means they are suitable for planting in places where other things cannot be grown.

In this way, wouldn’t there be no land in the world that cannot be cultivated?The world is full of fields, so I ask you if you are afraid.

Zhu Zhen was also very happy when he got the news, but he was not in a hurry to announce it because it was not yet the harvest season this year.

The main reason is that Yunnan can harvest two crops a year, but such an environment does not know what impact it will have on his specialty seeds. Zhu Yu has been reprimanded and beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he does not dare to act randomly again.

Anyway, with some free time, Zhu Zhen began to plan his own personal martial arts.

For example, his force value had 27 points that had not been used before.

It's time to buy Qi Lianjue.

Just one book of Qi Lian Jue would cost a hundred thousand force points. Zhu Zhen was in great pain, but he had no other way.

"Not only do you practice Qi Jue, but your attributes must also continue to improve," Zhu Zhen thought secretly.

His current attributes have all reached [-], and he has already experienced the benefits of strong attributes.

That's not a number, it's something that really reflects itself in all aspects.

Especially the intellectual attribute. Now that he has some free time, Zhu Ming has also begun to improve himself, such as practicing calligraphy and so on. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal if his handwriting would always be laughed at.

Although he has not yet reached the level of photographic memory, he can feel that his calligraphy is improving rapidly when he practices, and it is no longer so embarrassing.

"Besides, I have never practiced. If Qi training is too obscure and difficult to understand, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Moreover, the higher the attributes of my five passive abilities, the better the effect. Otherwise, twenty-five thousand martial arts will be wasted. It’s worth it.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Xi was about to start improving his attributes again.

But at this moment, someone came in crying from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Uncle Wang," it was Mu Chun, a strong and brave man, but he was crying so hard at this time.

Zhu Ming was shocked. When Prince Zhu Biao died, he didn't even cry like this.

What's going on?Your father is dead?
Unexpectedly, when Muchun saw Zhu Chun, he knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness, Uncle Wang, my father is dead."

"What?" Zhu Ming was shocked. Mu Ying was actually dead?

It turned out that since Zhu Biao's death, Mu Ying had not only cried until she fainted, but had also been depressed and her health was deteriorating.

Two days ago, when he was attending to matters at his official residence, he suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground. By the time he was discovered, it was already too late.

Mu Ying, now only 48 years old, died young due to illness.

When Zhu Yuanzhang received the news, he cried again and stopped going to court for several days.
