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

Chapter 217 Someone in Yunnan rebels again?
"Ou'er, sit down."

Zhu Yuanzhang's greeting made Zhu Zhen shiver.

"Dad, don't be like this, I'm afraid," Zhu Zhen said with a strange expression while sitting down on the other side of Zhu Yuanzhang calmly.

The main reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted so loudly that he couldn't stand it.

When did they get so close?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Min coldly, and his warning was obvious.

I mean, you better cooperate.

"Stop making trouble, everything is fine," Zhu Yuanzhang said for no reason.

Zhu Ming sighed, but ended up going around and around again. He was here to be Zhu Yunzhen's lobbyist, and he wanted to make himself surrender. Did he have to press his head?
All those words I said yesterday were in vain?
"I still say the same thing. The vassal king is a sharp weapon for the country. You can't cut down the vassal and abolish it, otherwise it will shake the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. What's more, the world is so big, and we haven't even solved the problem of the northern grassland, so we are starting to engage in internal fighting. ?Actually, it’s really meaningless.”

"Father, believe me. As long as you give me the south, I promise that I will never invade the Central Plains."

Zhu Ming said with a sincere face.

In fact, it would be really boring to talk about it anymore. He had already explained that it was not that he had to rebel, but that Zhu Yunwen would not tolerate so many vassal kings when he came to power.

There was an irreconcilable conflict between Zhu Yunwen and the vassal king.

If you don't go to Zhu Yunwen and ask him to give up the idea of ​​reducing the vassal, what does it mean to just ask me to surrender?
If it really doesn't work, just demote me, I won't disagree.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Originally, Zhu Ming thought he was going to be scolded again, and he might even have to lie down and get beaten again.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly picked up a memorial and handed it to Zhu Zhen, saying: "Take a look, this is a memorial sent from you in Yunnan this morning. It is a memorial from Muchun."

"Oh?" Zhu Ming was a little surprised. Muchun suddenly sent a memorial?And judging from the time, it should have been delivered a few days after I left Yunnan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to be just a few days apart from him.

What happened?
Zhu Min quickly opened the memorial and saw Muchun coming to report that Ningyuan Chieftain Daobei died of rebellion and unilaterally declared that he would surrender to Annan from now on and would no longer obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty.

"You are really looking for death," Zhu Zhen sneered. Even a mere chieftain dares to betray him. Do you still think that you can sit back and relax by being attached to Annan?

At that moment, Zhu Chu stood up and said: "Father, I will return to Yunnan as quickly as possible. When the time comes, we will mobilize our troops and horses. Not only will we quell the rebellion of Dao Bailan, but this time I will also defeat Annan."

"That's no need," Zhu Yuanzhang signaled, "Don't be in a hurry to go back to Yunnan. You can't go back now. Look at the second half of the sentence."

Zhu Chu looked at the memorial again and saw Muchun explaining: "I have appointed Qu Neng as general and led [-] soldiers and horses. Not only did he conquer Ningyuan, he also captured Dao Bailan alive and sent a guard to the post. He will be escorted to Beijing. I hope your majesty will inform you next time."

It turns out that Dao Bailan's rebellion broke out shortly after Zhu Zhen left Yunnan.

Muchun also reacted quickly, and Qu Neng was also a fierce general. He immediately put down the rebellion. Even Dao Bailan himself was captured alive and was on his way to the capital.

"This Muchun," Zhu Ming didn't know for a moment whether to praise Muchun or call him a fool.

Don’t you know that your Highness and I are trapped in the capital now? Can’t you take this opportunity to let me escape?
What do you think?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi, unable to guess what he was thinking, and sneered secretly, "You can't leave. If I don't deal with you, will you go back and be a disaster?"

Then are we still the Hongwu Emperor?We still can't handle you?Brat.

"Actually, I have always had reservations and a wait-and-see attitude towards your words," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said.

Zhu Ming asked in confusion: "What words? I said too many words."

How could he know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant?
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's about changing his native land and returning to his hometown."

It turned out that I thought about this matter again.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the fold in Zhu Chu's hand and said with a sneer: "As you said, these chieftains are really capricious villains. We gave them glory and wealth, but they didn't want to repay God's kindness. Instead, they often rebelled Happens. Damn it."

Zhu Ming suddenly became excited: "Look, I didn't mention the latter part. Let alone these guys, every chieftain is likely to rebel, because you gave them the power. Are they chieftains? They are simply emperors. .In comparison, we vassal kings are nothing."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, good boy, you are waiting for me here, right?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded. The nine frontier kings previously conferred were not only to guard the frontiers, but also to prevent the possibility of rebellion by these chieftains.

For example, the King of Qin's fiefdom is in Xi'an, and he is on guard with the King of Jin in Taiyuan. They can not only unite to resist the Tatars in the north, but also prevent Ningxia Prefecture.

There are also Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and even the current Zhu Ming, the king of Dian. These are all vassal kings guarding the southwest.

The main thing to prevent is the chaos caused by the chieftains.

"Are you going to return to your old ways? Since they are all heartless and unrighteous people, it seems that it is time to rectify and punish them." Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly. The courage of Emperor Hongwu can be said to be indifferent to anger. He doesn't know when the time will come. How much blood will be shed and how many people will die.

Not only did Zhu Min not care, but he said excitedly: "When the time comes, I am willing to lead an army to bring peace to the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Xu Da is right. You are so much like me when we were young. You are as brave as not afraid of death, and you don't take the world seriously. No matter if he is Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, we were never afraid back then. They," Zhu Yuanzhang said with pride.

In fact, in the final decisive battle between the three, Zhu Yuanzhang was the weakest one.

Chen Youliang's territory and military strength far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's, and Zhang Shicheng was sitting on the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, so he naturally had tremendous wealth. Even Shen Wansan, the God of Wealth, served Zhang Shicheng.

But in the end, it wasn't him, Zhu Yuanzhang, who dominated the world?
Zhu Zhen, on the other hand, does not take all the chieftains seriously and is not worried at all that the chieftains will rebel. If you dare to rebel, I will kill your whole family.

What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor immediately, and he conquered the world by himself.

Compared to Zhu Biao, he actually prefers sons like Zhu Di and Zhu Ming, who are more like him, both good sons and gentlemen who are good at conquering and fighting.

But Zhu Biao's character was cultivated by himself, including today's Zhu Yunwen, and this is all due to Ren Jun.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that after the emperor conquered the world, what he needed was a benevolent and righteous king to govern the country.

What's more, Zhu Di is the fourth child and Zhu Chu is the eighteenth child. These two sons are the most like him, but neither of them can stand up.

On the contrary, the second child had the best chance, but he had that kind of virtue. When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the King of Qin, Zhu Chong, his head began to buzz.

Just don’t mention it.

But the more Zhu Yun looked like him, the more worried Zhu Yuanzhang became, and even more he understood that if Zhu Yunwen had a conflict with him, Zhu Yun would definitely rebel and even win.

It's funny to say that Lan Yu killed him by himself. I'm afraid it will further pave the way for Zhu Yunwen. Then Fu Youde and Feng Sheng will also become threats to Zhu Yunwen.

But once these two generals died, Mu Ying also died of illness.

By that time, all the capable and skilled soldiers in the Manchu Dynasty were gone. On the contrary, Zhu Chu's team in Yunnan had almost become the strongest force.

How can this be good?

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze. Who was he paving the way for?Is it for Zhu Yunwen?Or give it to this bastard Zhu Zhen?

He has killed all the generals that the imperial court can use. Who else can Zhu Yunwen use?Is that guy Li Jinglong?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little scared when he saw him.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to Zhu Min's rudeness. It was not just once or twice, he was getting used to it.

But Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Zhen in confusion: "How come I didn't notice it before? You hid it too deeply."

In fact, looking back now, Zhu Yuanzhang still can't remember what Zhu Chu was like in the first 12 years in the palace, and he doesn't remember the existence of such a number one son at all.

It wasn't until Zhu Chu started to rise in Yunnan that Zhu Yuanzhang finally paid attention to him. Especially after Zhu Chu returned to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised to find that this eighteenth son looked too much like himself.

Or maybe the first impression is too important, because Xu Da kept saying at the time that Zhu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang were exactly the same when they were young, and Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more fond of him.

As a result, even though Zhu Yu expressed his ambition to rebel in the future in a high-profile manner more than once, Zhu Yuanzhang did not deal with him. Anyway, it was a private conversation between father and son. Just talk about it, don't take it seriously.

It's his own son after all.

Would you try it if you were someone else?
But the more he thought about it, the angrier Zhu Yuanzhang became. This kid's city was too deep, and it was hard to hide it from him.

If I had known that he was so strong, I should have focused on cultivating him well from the beginning, and even let him and Yunwen study and grow up together. That would have made their relationship better.

I remember that when Zhu Biao was still alive, he once mentioned that he wanted Lao Ba to go to school with Yun Wen.It was just that at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already agreed to let Zhu Chu become a vassal, and he also had the intention of restraining Mu Ying, so he did not agree.

Now he regrets it.

Zhu Yu didn't know the complicated thoughts in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. He said to himself that I naturally kept a low profile and stayed dormant on purpose. Who would care about me, a little transparent prince.

But he couldn't say that, but said: "Because my eldest brother was still there at that time, you naturally couldn't notice me."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "Yes, it would be great if Biao'er was still here."

Zhu Yuanzhang loved the prince deeply. It is no exaggeration to say that since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to stabilizing his own throne, he has been paving the way for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang spent the rest of his life just for one thing, and that was to think about how to hand over the throne and the country to Zhu Biao smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the prince actually took the first step.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but his eyes turned red. Even though a year had passed, he was still sighing.

Zhu Ming also sighed: "Eldest brother is benevolent and takes good care of us younger brothers and sisters. When some brothers provoke your punishment, it is often the eldest brother who comes to protect us. Including when Erchen went to join the domain, Lian Erchen Neither my mother-in-law nor my younger brother went to send it off, but my eldest brother came to send it off in person."

Speaking of Zhu Biao, even Zhu Ming had to admit that this eldest brother really acted like a big brother.

If it was such a Renjun, Zhu Ming would still be willing to surrender and assist.

As for Zhu Yunwen, forget it. That guy thinks one thing on the outside but another behind the scenes. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, he has asked what to do if the vassal king rebels.

When Zhu Yuanzhang dies, the vassal state will be cut off immediately. I'm afraid it won't even take a year.

Didn't he cut the vassalage in the first year of Jianwen, which was the year he came to power?

Even if you pretend?

"Speaking of which, you haven't gone to see your concubine since you came back, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt something in his heart and began to think about it, who was Lao Shiba's concubine?

Good guy, Zhu Yuanzhang had too many daughters-in-law, and I can’t even remember who Zhu Yu’s mother was.

But Zhu Min couldn't forget it, and said: "My son has been too busy in recent days and has not spared time. Besides, I am already so old, and it is not good to enter the harem at will. So I just wanted to take some time to ask you for instructions."

"By the way, who is your mother?" Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't remember, so he had to ask in person.

"It's your Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou," Zhu Ming rolled his eyes. Even though the relationship between mother and son was not close in this life, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved for his mother.

Concubine Zhou, whose specific life experience is no longer known, gave birth to the 12th-year-old Zhu Li in April of the [-]th year of Hongwu, and the [-]th-year-old Zhu Song in May of the following year.

Zhu Song, also known as the King of Han, and Zhu Jin were brothers from the same mother, one father and one mother.

But when Zhu Chu came back this time, Zhu Song didn't say he came to see his brother.

Since you kid won't come, then I, the older brother, can't go see you, right?
Of course, Zhu Zhen is not picky, because the vassal kings cannot communicate with each other in private. This is Lao Zhu's fault and cannot be blamed on his younger brother.

But Zhu Xi was also unhappy.

As for the mother and concubine in this life, he also felt that the family relationship was weak. After all, they had not lived together all the time. He went to Yunnan to become a vassal, and the mother and concubine did not say that she would follow him, so they just got along like this.

The most ruthless emperor's family.

"You should go and see your mother-in-law when you have time," Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, which was regarded as a face-to-face agreement, allowing Zhu Zhen to enter and leave the harem.

"Yes," Zhu Zhen agreed without a hint of saltiness, and he couldn't tell how happy he was.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "You are really unkind and unjust."

"There's nothing you can do about it, just follow dad," Zhu Ming still fought back in a neutral tone.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he angrily said: "Don't pour dirty water on us. Although we have divided all your vassal kings, we will recall the vassal kings in batches every year for reunion. But you don't tell us. Send me a note and show concern for our health. Even when I summoned you to the capital, you used excuses to get rid of me. Look at those brothers of yours."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he also pulled out some memorials and showed them to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Chu took it and took a look. Sure enough, they were all greetings from vassal kings from all over the country. The most common ones were the daily greetings from lords.

Good guy, just pay it off at a closer place. Zhu Zhen couldn't help but ask: "How did the King of Shu do it? He kept greetings as usual every day?"

The king of Shu is also Zhu Chun, and his fiefdom is in Sichuan, which is next to Zhu Chun.

are you crazy?Even though we are thousands of miles apart, can we still greet each other constantly?
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Of course Lao Shiyi is sincere, so he writes memorials every day and has them sent to him, so that he can keep greetings every day. Unlike some people, who are obviously close to each other, but what they do is different. It’s completely different.”

Zhu Chun curled his lips, saying he was a flatterer, but he didn't expect Zhu Chun to be such a king of Shu.

No wonder his wife is Lan Yu's daughter. As a result, the Lan Yu case caused such a big fuss, but the King of Shu and his Concubine Lan acted like nothing happened.

"Second brother, is this funny?" Zhu Min suddenly discovered King Qin's trick again.

It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday was in October, but now it is August.

So the King of Qin handed over the zhezi and asked if he was allowed to come to congratulate his father on his birthday.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's reply was very direct: "You are not allowed to come."

The reply sheet has naturally been sent back, which was left after the review.

Most of the vassal kings sent greetings to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang would also reply: "I pay my respects."

Or "I am safe".

There are also those who report things. For example, Zhu Bai's memorial is very serious. He only reports on things when something happens.

Among them, Zhu Zhen even found his own excerpt, and the opening chapter was "Father, the sons and ministers are suffering."

"Ahem, cough, cough," Zhu Ming was embarrassed. Now he felt really embarrassed.

Let’s look at Zhu Yuanzhang’s approval document again.

Especially the memorial in the first book, which reads: "Don't panic, I'm not dead yet. If the chieftain rebels and causes chaos, he won't hurt you at all."

"Eh? Father, I didn't receive such a reply from you," Zhu Zhen was suddenly surprised.

It turns out that this was the excerpt that Zhu Yuanzhang presented to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was burning paper glass.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You have the nerve to say that? You said it so seriously at the time. I really thought that Silunfa couldn't hold it back and surrounded your Dali City with a large force. Later I found out that what you encountered at that time was only 2000 people. A small tribe of chieftains that no one can visit. And that set of glasses of yours, you gave us the worst, and we haven’t settled the score with you yet.”

So Zhu Yuanzhang was originally prepared to make some excuses, but later he was extremely angry when he learned the truth.

This bastard, it turned out that he had fooled himself back then.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were already itchy.

Zhu Zhen smiled dryly. He was young at that time and naively thought that he could do whatever he wanted because he was far away from the emperor.

Who knew that there were Jin Yiwei as far away as Yunnan, and even Zhu Yuanzhang's people were beside him, and there were still two secret sentries, one bright and one dark, and they were naturally talking about Wang Fu and Li Gui.

Apart from the two of them, there are also many hidden Jin Yiwei in Yunnan.

It can be said that Lao Zhu’s eyeliners are all over the world.

"I heard that you are using Yunlong County as a test field in Yunnan to plant new rice seeds?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked proactively.

This is not a secret. Zhu Ming admitted openly: "Yes, but unfortunately the previous batch of rice seeds was very poor, which caused the first harvest in the first half of the year to be scrapped. Now it is already after the busy farming season of the second season. I believe the results will be known before the end of the year.”

Before Zhu Ming left at that time, he had given Li Shuran full responsibility for the affairs of Yunlong County.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "This matter is of great concern, and we must not do it lightly. We must know that food is the most important thing for the people, and we must not starve the people to death."

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "That's natural. I have always believed that the people are the foundation of the country. As long as our old Zhu family is always what the people want, no matter who they are, they can't shake our country."

"But the corn and sweet potatoes among them can be promoted a little bit."
