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

Chapter 209 It’s a mess, it’s a mess
There is a saying that when Zhu Yuanzhang said that he planned to appoint a new group of chieftains in Yunnan, Zhu Zhen was really anxious.

God knows how much effort he put into pacifying the entire territory of Yunnan and in order to comprehensively promote the reform of returning natives to rural areas.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to be suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang and killed countless people. He did it with iron-blooded means and countless time, manpower and thought.

This is simply a blow to him.

As for how to do this?Just for Zhu Yunwen, who can't help him up the wall?
Zhu Ming was so angry that he even swore: "As long as you give me Yunnan, I will expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty ten times, no, dozens of times. And I swear that the descendants of my lineage, Zhu Ming, will never... Half a step into the Central Plains, rebellion? If it weren't for the helplessness, I would really look down on this three-acre land."

The Ming Dynasty was the Central Plains dynasty, expanded dozens of times?
Is this a fantasy?

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that the world was actually much bigger than he imagined.

And Zhu Chu, of course, is already planning to conquer the world.

With his current personal force and the assistance of the system, he is confident enough to conquer the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Ming, and suddenly said sadly: "Are we, father and son, really going to get into this trouble? Are you going to separate our family?"

"Am I going to make trouble?" Zhu Zhen continued to shout: "I suppressed the rebellion in Yunnan, converted the native land and returned home to lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to rule Yunnan. In the end, how did the imperial court and you treat me? Not only Instead of complimenting me, you scolded me and doubted me?"

"It's the same for you and my biological father. No matter who takes the position in the future, as long as they sit in that position, they will definitely doubt me."

"But I am ambitious. Can't you pacify Yunnan? I'll come. Can't you conquer Tubo and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate? I'll come. If you can't deal with the Tatars on the grassland, let me deal with them. "

"Since I am the king, it is up to the king to conquer, to approve, and to suppress the world."

"But the question is, who can tolerate me? Even if I swear that I will not rebel. The question is, from top to bottom, in the civil and military circles, who will believe that I will not rebel?"

"Is Lan Yu really going to rebel? Is Hu Weiyong really going to rebel? Or is Li Shanchang really going to rebel? He has one foot in the ground, and you pulled him out ten years after the Hu Weiyong case and executed them all. They all want to Rebellion?"

"It has nothing to do with whether they want to rebel. As long as you think they have the possibility of rebellion, they deserve to die. That's the problem."

"Father, it's not that my son wants to rebel. Even you are suspicious of me and can't tolerate me. If I don't rebel, there will be no way to survive in the future."

"My destiny is mine, not God's. I will not leave my life and fortune to others to control. Instead of doing this, it is better for me to dominate this world, and I will dominate the world."

"You came from a monk and a farmer to today. There is no way, who called me your son. You are not willing to accept your fate, but you want me to surrender to it? It's a joke, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can fight. Hole. It’s not my fault.”

Even if I'm rebelling, aren't I still learning from you?As the son of Emperor Hongwu, rebellion is a blood talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang almost died of anger, and he gave birth to a bunch of rebels and traitors?

However, he also looked at Zhu Ming in shock. He didn't expect this kid to be so bold all of a sudden. Was this a personal admission that he was going to rebel?
"Do you really not take our emperor seriously?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Without thinking, Zhu Zhen said quietly: "Anyway, there are only two of us here, father and son. When we leave this palace, I won't recognize a single word."

Isn't this a hooligan?

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Are you playing a gangster with me?"

The emperor is the biggest hooligan in the world. If you say you want to rebel, you will still rebel if you don't.

If this wasn't his son, would you try it if it were someone else?

The blue jade case has not yet passed its first anniversary.

But Zhu Yu had no choice. In order to force himself to submit and serve Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang had to drain the Yunnan cauldron. This would not only destroy his hard work, but also completely destroy his foundation.

By then, not only will the current tax system be greatly reduced, it will return from millions to hundreds of thousands, and once again return to before liberation.

In fact, by the time he is under house arrest in Yingtian, he will have no control over Yunnan at all.

It would be better to just demote him to a commoner, since he would lose everything anyway. If he could get free, he might still have a chance to go to the deep mountains and old forests to make a comeback.

What's going on here?

You've already done this to me, why don't you allow me to resist?

The worst case scenario is that everything will die.

Zhu Ming has even made such preparations. The worst results are nothing more than two. Either push all the way south from Yunnan and conquer the territory of Southeast Asia. As his foundation, he will become the king of Southeast Asia.

Or, I'm afraid I'm really going to have a fight with my father, Emperor Hongwu.

But if this happens, war will break out again even in Zhu Cheng's Yunnan domain.

Including Qu Neng, he would attack Zhu Chu as soon as possible.

I don’t know what choices the Mu brothers and Zhao Kuo will make.

If it was not a last resort, Zhu Zhen really did not want to rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if it was Jingnan, he would still have to Jingnan Zhu Yunzhang.

"Are you really unwilling to compromise?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming with a complicated look in his eyes.

Like, so similar, exactly like him when he was young.

What moved Zhu Yuanzhang the most was the sentence "My fate is up to me." Otherwise, how could Zhu Yuanzhang defect to Guo Zixing and join the rebel army?Isn't it better to just be a monk?

They all have great ambitions.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhen is only the eighteenth old man, and he is still a concubine. He has nothing to do with his direct descendants and elders.

Precisely because Zhu Chu posed almost no threat to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to include him in Zhu Yunwen's camp. With Zhu Chu's power in Yunnan, other vassal kings did not dare to act rashly.

What's more, with the abilities and strategies Zhu Ming showed in Yunnan, as well as the policy of returning the natives to the locals, if he really caught up with the Jingnan War in history, it would be the rebellion of King Yan Zhu Di.

Then the fourth brother in this life really can't beat the eighteenth brother.

Not to mention the imperial court's tens of thousands of troops, even relying on Zhu Chu's troops in Yunnan was enough to push them all the way to Yanjing.

There are also gunpowder and explosive packets researched by Simoden, which can explode even if the walls of Yanjing City are high and thick.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with regret: "Then there is nothing we can do. Just stay in Yingtian. Come to me when you figure it out."

Is this to completely confine Zhu Chu here and prevent him from going back?

And Zhu Yuanzhang said it himself, there is no need to make any excuses, you should not even think about going back to develop your rebel power, it is impossible for you to go back.

"You might as well demote me to a commoner," Zhu Ming sneered: "Look at my son, even if I don't have your gift, even if I'm not a bullshit prince, I can conquer my own world."

"Do you really think I dare not deal with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Ha," Zhu Zhen just sneered.

In fact, Zhu Zhen really didn't take the Central Plains to heart, because he knew that the undeveloped land on the other side of the earth, the American continent, was the best.

Compared with the Central Plains, the American continent has larger plains. Once agriculture develops, wealth will be accumulated extremely quickly.

There is also Lao Maozi's vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the Southeast Asian countries where it is like spring all year round. Where can't it grow?Where can't I save a family fortune?
But as Zhu Zhen said, once he really starts to fight for world hegemony, the Central Plains court will be his biggest hindrance.

What if he was at war with the enemy and the imperial court sent people to steal his home?
No matter how unfavorable the system is, it still needs its own territory to support it.

Therefore, he must first become the emperor. Only when he becomes the lord of the Central Plains can he have no worries and have the support of manpower and material resources from all over the Ming Dynasty to realize his huge ambitions.

But Zhu Yuanzhang became his biggest obstacle.

Helpless Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally had no choice but to leave.

However, when he was about to leave the palace, Zhu Zhen stopped and suddenly said: "If my eldest brother is still alive, I can be a prince with peace of mind, and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty and my eldest brother, and he will not doubt me. . What a pity. Alas, the most ruthless emperor's family."

Saying this, he opened the palace door and left without looking back.

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was shaken and almost fell to the ground.

"Biao'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang's cry of sorrow came from the hall.

This confrontation with Zhu Yuanzhang was actually beyond Zhu Zhen's expectations.

Mainly because he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to subdue himself to Zhu Yunwen.Loyal to Zhu Yunwen?Is he worthy?
In the morning, I helped an outsider convict myself. When he becomes emperor, I'm afraid I won't be the first one to deal with him.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang is too insidious.

"You actually tested my thoughts? Am I that obvious?" Zhu Zhen was still thinking about these things while walking on the street.

Also, is Zhu Yuanzhang really going to deal with Feng Sheng and Fu Youde?Or is it just to test me?

In fact, in history, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng were executed by Zhu Yuanzhang one after another after the Lan Yu case.

As Zhu Chu analyzed, it was just because these two princes not only held high positions, but were also generals who were good at conquering and fighting, and they were also the father-in-laws of the other two legitimate sons of the vassal kings.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that his legitimate sons would disobey Zhu Yunwen and fear that they would make trouble.

But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't kill his own son, so wouldn't these foreign ministers have to suffer?

Zhu Ming shook his head, feeling no sympathy at all.

There is no way, who calls him Zhu Yuanzhang's son? He is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. This is his advantage.

It was precisely because Zhu Zhen knew that even if he was against Zhu Yuanzhang, even if it was revealed that he did have the idea of ​​​​rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill him.

This is the bottom line.

The worst he can do is demote himself to a commoner, but that's fine. By then, with the food, grass and money he has secretly accumulated, and the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops loyal to him in Yunnan, he can directly raise a special force. Belongs to his troops.

Only then will it be true, the sky is high and the birds can fly.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen was not afraid of being dealt with by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he burst out with the huge resentment and anger he had always had.

"Not to mention my attributes and the level of cultivation I have achieved so far. At worst, I will find an opportunity to jump out of the city wall at night, fly a few hundred meters, and then run to Yunnan on my own feet."

Zhu Zhen thought secretly in his heart.

He is different now than he was two years ago, and he is no longer the transparent little prince he was before, having to be careful every day.

Now he suddenly realized that he was no longer afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the contrary, he didn't want to really go to the point of starting a war with Quan Daming, so he kept tolerating everything.

It's him who is coaxing this father to play.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen suddenly stood up and held his head high. He took out a folding fan from his waist and opened it. He put his left hand behind his back and held the fan in his right hand with the 'low-key and low-key' side facing the outside. While fanning the wind, he returned to his relaxed and freehand state. .

Anyway, I didn't plan to go back easily when I came to Yingtian this time, so I'll just make peace with myself as I came, and wait until Lao Zhu dies to survive.

"Father and son, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, but father, please don't push yourself too hard, because what bothers us the most is shameless people, even if it's my own father, I will rebel against you if pressed. ," Zhu Chu thought as he wandered and walked all the way back to the post house.

It was already afternoon. Zhu Xi touched his belly and suddenly remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet. He only roasted sweet potatoes and corn for the Xu family girls at noon, but he hadn't eaten anything.

So I asked someone to prepare something for me, and I was just planning to deal with it casually, and then think about what to eat in the evening.

Suddenly, a group of little yellow men, that is, little eunuchs, came in from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, and the king of Dian, Zhu Xi, will receive it."

Zhu Chu felt something in his heart, was he going to deal with him?
But he wasn't afraid, he just straightened his clothes casually, not even bothering to change out of his python robe.

If you were an ordinary official to receive the order, not only would you take a bath and burn incense, but you would also have to put on formal official uniform.

But Zhu Chu came to the yard wearing only a green shirt and stood there, saying, "Read it."

He didn't even bother to kneel down, it was already like this anyway, a broken jar?Or are dead pigs not afraid of boiling water?

The little eunuchs looked at each other, but they seemed to have been given some instructions, and they did not dare to scold Zhu Ming for not kneeling when he received the order. The leading eunuch opened the jade scroll of the imperial edict and read: "The emperor's edict is carried by heaven. The king of Dian returned to Beijing for the first time to report on his duties. , there is no place to stay, so now we have set up a house in Xicheng as the Dian King's Farewell Garden. I admire this."

Ok?
Zhu Ming was stunned. Didn't he want to demote himself to a commoner?Not putting yourself under house arrest?Instead, he sealed a house for himself?
"Wait a minute," Zhu Zhen asked in disbelief: "Is there nothing else? Didn't you say you won't let me go out?"

Isn’t it really under house arrest?

The eunuchs looked at Zhu Ming in confusion, wondering what kind of character the Dian King had?Do you like being under house arrest so much?

"Your Highness, please accept the order." The eunuch who announced the order wiped the sweat from his forehead. One was hot, and he hurried all the way from the palace to here. The other one was also frightened. This King of Dian is too fierce. He is standing to receive the order?It’s the first time I’ve seen him.

Zhu Ming frowned and accepted the imperial edict, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, another burst of footsteps came from outside, and another group of small yellow gates came, shouting: "The imperial edict has arrived, and King Zhu Ming of Dian will receive it."

Zhu Ming turned around to look. This time, before he could speak, the eunuch began to declare: "The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven. The King of Dian returned to Beijing for the first time to report his duties. I am afraid there is no one around to serve him. Now I have given him one hundred palace maids and five Ten small Huangmen (eunuchs) take care of the King of Dian's daily life. There are also three royal cooks and the imperial doctor Dai Sigong takes care of the King of Dian."

The imperial physician Dai Sigong was the one who dared to tell the truth to Zhu Yuanzhang when the prince Zhu Biao was terminally ill.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked him at that time, weren't he afraid that he would chop him down?
But in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him. Instead, he continued to use Dai Sigong as his imperial doctor, and now he has given it to Zhu Chu as his personal doctor.

Zhu Xun was so stupid. What kind of trouble was Lao Zhu going to make?

Even this wasn't over yet, as three more imperial edicts came in succession.

An imperial edict bestowed countless pieces of furniture and silks and satins, an imperial edict bestowed countless amounts of money, and even an imperial edict for guards such as Wang Fu. Although there was no official appointment or a wish to improve their official positions, each of them was He was commended and given many gold, silver and jewels.

Zhu Ming was stunned. The five imperial edicts in succession did not mention punishment at all. Instead, they were all gifts.

Not to mention him, Wang Fu and others, as well as the officials and minor officials in the post house, and even the entire officialdom in Yingtian City were shocked when they learned the news.

In the East Palace, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen has now become the master of the East Palace. When he heard the news, he was reading a book, and the books fell to the ground.

In the early morning, the ministers had impeached Zhu Ming together, and now before the evening was over, the emperor issued five imperial edicts to confer favors.

What signal is this sending?

Zhu Yunwen panicked a little and hurriedly left the East Palace and rushed to the palace.

He wanted to go to Grandpa Huang to ask about the situation, or to test Grandpa Huang's attitude.

What kind of virtue and ability is this King of Dian?
Zhu Yunwen seems to have forgotten that just a year ago, or at the end of the year before last, Zhu Yun had just made extraordinary achievements. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not personally reward Zhu Yun at that time, but asked Prince Zhu Biao to award it on his behalf. I want Zhu Biao to show kindness to Zhu Ji.

Therefore, it did not attract much attention at that time because it was not a gift from the imperial edict.

But now, at most it can be regarded as a little compensation from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Chu.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't accept this anymore. It can be seen that if he ascends to power, will Zhu Yu still have a way to survive?

At the same time, on the other side, Duke Xu's Mansion of Wei State also received the oral instructions conveyed by the eunuch.

"The emperor's decree," an old eunuch read out: "Xu Da, it seems that we are impatient. Since that bastard Zhu Chu said that he is not worthy of your Miaojin, I will leave the marriage as it is. And this The boy is so unscrupulous and naughty that he really is not worthy of your daughter. How about this, let's choose one of the other brats another day, and this time let your Miao Jin choose whoever she likes. How about that? "

Xu Da knelt there, frowning, lost in thought.

Let your daughter choose at will?Is this still the Hongwu Emperor?

So humble?Is it even suspected of seeking compensation?
And why did you suddenly cancel your intention to get married?What happened?

Xu Da didn't know that Zhu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang had a father-son confrontation in the palace.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged this marriage for Zhu Zhen in order to draw the Xu family into Zhu Yunzhen's camp.

But now?
Good guy, you are about to rebel. I will arrange Xu Da for you, right?

I might as well surrender to the enemy.

So Zhu Yuanzhang immediately canceled the marriage.

At night, Xu Miaojin sat on the bed and couldn't sleep all night. She was so angry.

Finally, she wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth: "This matter is not over. I, Xu Miaojin, have never been so embarrassed in my life. Brother Zhu, don't think that this is it. Just wait."
