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

Chapter 294 Feng Sheng Fu Youde’s shock

Along the way, Zhu Zhen and Li Gui explained a lot of things.

In fact, Zhu Min has long known that Li Gui has a secret identity and responsibilities. The reason why he has not been eradicated is because he feels it is unnecessary. If Lao Zhu insists on inserting someone, even if Li Gui is removed, there will still be Wang Gui and Zhang Gui. , can be any 'expensive'.

Another thing is that Zhu Ming can know Li Gui's loyalty through the system, and found that although this boy is a secret sentry of the Jin Yiwei, his loyalty to him is not to say 100 points, but also 99 points. This is because he has been estranged recently. Otherwise, his data would already be a perfect 100 loyalty points.

This is simply his own double agent.

So Zhu Ming had actually been waiting to see when Li Gui would have the consciousness to confess to him.

It was only now that Zhu Ming explained his thoughts to him.

After all, if Li Gui still wants to hold on to him, Zhu Zhen can't reveal his ambition easily.

Since ancient times, when the emperor is still alive today, one must consider who will become the emperor in the future. Even the prince will not end well.

What's more, he is not the crown prince yet.

At this point, Li Gui finally gained Zhu Chu's trust again and re-entered Zhu Chu's inner circle.

At the same time, Zhu Zhen also gave him many important tasks. The most important thing was that one day in the future, when the sun changes in the sky, he, Li Guide, could immediately take over the entire affairs of Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Chu didn't want a mess.

"Your Highness, we have arrived in front of the palace."

Wang Fu's reminder came from outside.

Unknowingly, I had arrived outside the palace gate.

This was not the first time that Zhu Chu had gone to court, and he was now quite familiar with it. He arrived not early and not late, just before the ointment.

Not long after, officials began to be awakened one by one by servants in sedan chairs or carriages of various colors outside the palace gate.

Soon the palace gate was filled with civil and military officials from all over the dynasty.

"Why are there so many people today?" Zhu Li lifted the curtain of the carriage and was stunned. He felt that there was a sea of ​​people outside. Wasn't there too many people?

This crowd of people was so crowded that if you didn’t look at their official uniforms, you would have thought they were here to go to the market.

As soon as Zhu Chu showed his head, the people around him immediately stepped aside, leaving a circle of open space.

This also led to Zhu Qi quickly becoming the most handsome boy in the audience and the one who attracted the most attention.

After all, he was wearing a python robe. This was the era of Emperor Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty. Who dared to wear clothes indiscriminately? One transgression is enough to kill someone.

"Which prince is this?" someone asked quietly.

"Stupid, who else could it be, and which prince would come to court? Nowadays, apart from our Highness the Great Sun, the only descendant of the Zhu family is His Highness the King of Dian. And His Highness the Great Sun is wearing a python robe. It's bright yellow," someone explained in a low voice.

In the Qing Dynasty, official positions were distinguished by Buzi patterns, and they were also divided into civil and military positions. For example, civil officials were represented by birds, and military generals were represented by beasts.

Therefore, the first-rank civil servants are the crane, the second-rank golden pheasant, the third-rank peacock, the fourth-rank cloud swallow, the fifth-rank white pheasant, the sixth-rank egret, the seventh-rank owl, the eighth-rank quail, and the ninth-rank bird.

The military attaches are the first-rank unicorn, the second-rank lion, the third-rank leopard, the fourth-rank tiger, the fifth-rank bear, the sixth-rank Biao, the seventh-rank, the eighth-rank rhinoceros, and the ninth-rank seahorse.

In addition, there are also so-called court beads and crown-worn feathers, which are distinguished by different grades.

Especially if a first-grade official has made another meritorious service, because there is no room for rewards, he still has two eyes and three eyes.

I won’t go into details here.

The Ming Dynasty also had the system of the Ming Dynasty.

As far as the system is concerned, the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty inherited the tradition of the official uniform system of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

In the first year of Hongwu, Tao An, a scholar, asked for a crown dress to be drawn up. In view of the fact that the situation was not yet stable, Zhu Yuanzhang instructed that the dress should not be too complicated. To worship the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple, only a crown of heaven and a gauze robe were required. The official uniforms of the first to fifth ranks were purple. , the sixth and seventh grades serve Fei.

Therefore, the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty did not have patches. Even the python robes, python patterns, etc. were all embroidered all over the body, instead of sewing patches in the middle, as if they were stickers.

It was not until later that officials from the Ministry of Rites proposed that ancient clothing colors should be based on the theory of five virtues: Xia Shanghei, Yin Shangbai, Zhou Chi, Qinhei, Hanchi, and Tanghuang.

The Ming Dynasty adopted the method of the Zhou, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, and ruled the world with the virtue of fire. The color should be still red. Zhu Yuanzhang approved it and stipulated that Gongfu should be worn at the Zhengdan, Winter Solstice, Holy Festival (the emperor's birthday), sacrifices to Sheji, Xiongnong, and worship ceremonies.

From then on, red (red) was respected.

But even so, yellow still has a high status, so as the crown prince and crown prince, Zhu Yunwen still respects the bright yellow python robe.

Even Zhu Zhen can only wear a red python robe.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty distinguished their status by the color of their official uniforms, and secondly, whether there were python patterns on their official uniforms.

In fact, there are many theories about python patterns. For example, as mentioned before, the flying fish suit is actually not a fish, but a python pattern, but the tail is a fish tail instead of a dragon tail, so it is called flying fish suit.

As the saying goes, 'the flying fish python also has two horns. The so-called flying fish pattern is made in the shape of a python with the addition of fins and tail, which is slightly different from the flying fish python, and is not a true flying fish shape.

There is also a bullfighting suit, which is actually a type of python pattern. It is not a cow, but a python with horns. The two horns on the head are bent downwards like horns.

Of course, none of this matters (I'm very happy about it).

The reason why it is always mentioned that Zhu Chu is wearing a red python robe is actually a symbol of status, but it also illustrates a problem from the side, that is, Zhu Chu's status has come to an end.

If you go one step further, you have to jump over the dragon gate and wear yellow.

Huang, Huangye.

But this step requires going through thousands of difficulties, no less than going through a disaster.

At this time, the eyes of the people around him were secretly looking at Zhu Zhen.

I saw the eighteenth prince of Emperor Hongwu, now His Royal Highness the Dian King, just standing there. He could be said to be six or seven feet tall, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary valor.

There are roughly three categories of sizes in the Ming Dynasty, namely the construction ruler, where one foot is equal to thirty-two centimeters.

Measure the ground, one foot is equal to 32.7 centimeters.

And a tailoring ruler, one foot is equal to thirty-four centimeters.

The measurements using a tailoring ruler are used here. Zhu Zhen will be fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year. He was 1.7 meters tall when he was 12 years old, and now he is probably over 1.9 meters tall.

With such a big man standing there, even if he can't reach eight feet, six feet is still barely close.

This is no longer low.

What's more, he can continue to grow older and taller in the future.

Many people who met Zhu Zhen for the first time couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "He is really wise and powerful."

"That's not all. His Highness Chitose went to Xi'an a few years ago. He was originally going to investigate the sudden death of His Highness King Qin, but he didn't expect that a war broke out in Ningxia Town. If His Highness hadn't rushed to the rescue in time, I'm afraid Ningxia would have been destroyed and people would have been killed. The Mongol Tatars looted a lot."

"I heard that His Highness sent troops directly outside the Great Wall with only 15,000 soldiers and horses, braving the snow outside the Great Wall to expel those Tatars?"

"What's the expulsion? That's the grassland, not our Central Plains land. It's their hometown. But His Highness completely conquered them and beat them to death. I heard that His Highness was even called the Holy Khan. Not to mention that Lan Yu couldn't do it. Your Majesty now."

"Humph."

A cold hum sounded.

Suddenly the whole place fell silent.

Because a bright yellow figure came over and went straight to Zhu Chu.

"Uncle Eighteenth King, it seems that you have made great achievements this time."

The person who came was none other than Zhu Yunwen. He stood in front of Zhu Ming, with complicated expressions on his expression and eyes.

There is both envy and jealousy, admiration and admiration, but more importantly, fear.

"Hey, isn't this my eldest nephew?" Zhu Zhen smiled, with a condescending attitude.

Originally, he was the elder, although in terms of age, Zhu Yunwen was one, or even two years older than Zhu Chu.

But the seniority here is a natural suppression.

What's more, after all, Zhu Yunwen is only the grandson of the emperor, not the prince, which is still a little different.

Zhu Yunwen frowned and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything to his face. Instead, he was a little concerned and consoled him: "When we get to the court later, Uncle Eighteen, don't be stubborn anymore. You should apologize properly when it's time to apologize." .”

"Where are these words?" Zhu Zhen felt confused.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Ming with a strange look on his face and asked, "Didn't Uncle Eighteen proclaim himself emperor outside the Great Wall? I heard someone said that the grassland people call you the Holy Khan?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhen in silence.

Good guy, anyone who knows something about the system of the Yuan Dynasty should know that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was called Khan.

Did you go to the grassland and proclaim yourself emperor?

Is this the time when the Holy Khan is going to meet Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty?

Suddenly, everyone's expressions became playful.

Zhu Ming also smiled, looking at Zhu Yunwen in front of him, and said to himself, eldest nephew, eldest nephew, you are so anxious, why did you go out to charge into the battle yourself? What a price drop. But eldest nephew, you may not know that your uncle and I have already met our father, your grandfather, and your grandfather didn’t say anything. Do you really think you can sue me?

So Zhu Zhen just smiled and said nothing.

But Zhu Yunwen felt that he was pretending to be mysterious. Seeing that Zhu Zhen stopped talking, he simply turned and left.

Naturally, some ministers swarmed around the prince and grandson.

Seeing that the officials around him were just staying away from Zhu Chu in awe, he was just enjoying his time at leisure.

But suddenly, two people came over on their own initiative.

"It can be said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead," one person said happily, stroking his beard and looking at Zhu Chu.

The other person also nodded and praised with admiration: "I think we also went on an expedition to Mobei one after another, and hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to go, but we have never achieved such a feat. I'm afraid even if Lan Yu comes back to life, he will still be impressed and admired. Fan."

In fact, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had been wary of the Mobei Grassland, lest they make a comeback.

Even though the Beiyuan Royal Court was destroyed by Lan Yu for so many years, in the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle still wanted to conquer Mobei in five ways.

It can be seen how deep the grievances and hatred between Daming and Beiyuan are.

After all, Beiyuan can be said to be the first successful case of foreign invasion, and it was the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty lost so completely.

The key point is that the people of Beiyuan were not good people. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. They killed countless people without telling anyone. They also divided people into four classes, with the Han people being the lowest class.

It's hard to relieve the hatred in my heart without killing them.

That's why Lan Yu's original achievements were so great.

The two veterans in front of them have also fought outside the Mobei Great Wall many times.

They were none other than generals Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, or in other words, Feng Sheng was the Duke of Song and Fu Youde was the Duke of Ying.

With Chang Yuchun dying in his early years, Tang He has also retired, and now even Xu Da is almost dead.

It was time for their generation to become the mainstay.

It is a pity that the sudden death of Prince Zhu Biao caused the situation to be turbulent.

First, Mu Ying died of illness, and then Lan Yu committed suicide and deserved to die. I am afraid that except Guo Ying, it will be their turn.

Because it was obvious that Zhu Yunwen could not control them, and due to their relationship with the other two legitimate princes, Zhu Yuanzhang had to guard against them.

Originally, in history, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng would be recalled to the capital after Lan Yu's death, and then be sentenced to death within a year or two.

But it's different now, they are recalled in another way.

"It's a pity that His Highness returned in triumph too soon. If we wait until the spring of next year and His Majesty has collected the food, grass and baggage, the two of us can lead an army of 500,000. By then, we can listen under His Majesty's tent and divide the three armies to bravely conquer the grassland. Big tent, wouldn't it be nice," Feng Sheng said with a longing look on his face.

Due to some incidents in the past few years, Feng Sheng has been removed from the general seal in recent years and has been idle for several years.

It was in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the year before last, that people were recruited as soldiers in Taiyuan and Heyang and other places, and guards were established to garrison the fields.

But this is just military training.

And because Prince Zhu Biao passed away, he was afraid that he would get too close to Jin Wang Zhu Fan. Then Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to Shanxi and Henan respectively to train troops.

They had just been recalled to Beijing because of Zhu Chu's incident a year ago.

For the two of them, this was actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Perhaps even the two of them felt something, and they knew in their hearts that if they didn't seize this opportunity, what awaited them would be the end of a blue jade.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhen really didn't give them a chance.

"Why are the two princes so disappointed? The world is so big and there is no place to use it. Not to mention the distance, in the Mobei grassland, in addition to the Tatars, there is also the Oara, and after the Oara is defeated, there is also the Uliangha. Even if the entire Mobei grassland is The northern grasslands are flattened, and there is Siberia even further away. Not to mention the three major Jurchen tribes including the Jianzhou Jurchens on the other side, and the Tibetans in the Western Regions and the Chagatai Khanate in the East. On the other side, we are afraid that the birds will use up their good bows. Hiding? Are you afraid that the cunning rabbit will die and be cooked by lackeys? Or are you afraid that the enemy's country will be destroyed and the general (strategist) will be killed?" Zhu Zhen showed a meaningful smile.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, on the other hand, were both shocked. They looked at Zhu Zhen with bright eyes, staring at him, and their whole bodies were faintly trembling.

In fact, the two of them are not stupid.

Since the death of Prince Zhu Biao, not only Lan Yu died last year, but the Lan Yu case has also been widely implicated.

It became difficult for the two of them to command the army.

Will the world be peaceful and there will be no more wars?

Of course not, but I am afraid that after giving them soldiers and horses, they will threaten the new king.

Zhou Wang Zhu Xi was exiled to Yunnan just because he left the vassal domain and ran back to his hometown in Fengyang. Is that just because he returned to his hometown? No matter who was guarding my hometown at that time.

Zhou Wang Zhu Nai was Feng Sheng's son-in-law. At that time, Feng Sheng was going out to conquer Naha, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, because someone reported that he had hidden good horses, even Feng Sheng's other son-in-law Chang Mao.

Chang Maonai is Chang Yuchun's son.

But as the eldest son of King Kaiping, he should have been loyal to the court after he was granted the title of Duke of Zheng, but he turned out to be a fool.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally asked Chang Mao to eat, drink, and grow up together with the princes and grandsons of the Zhu family. However, he turned out to be as useless as that kid Li Jinglong. He was completely a playboy. He even dissatisfied his father-in-law Feng Sheng and not only did many bad things. , and even reported the father-in-law.

This guy even said that Feng Sheng drank with Naha's wife and concubines. He really dared to say anything.

In short, Feng Sheng was deprived of his command seal by Lao Zhu and was demoted to Fengyang.

Then Zhou Wang Zhu Ju went to Fengyang secretly to have a secret meeting with his father-in-law, so he was exiled to Yunnan.

This was just a secret meeting between the vassal king and his father-in-law, but Fu Youde and Jin Wang Zhu Fan were also deeply feared by Lao Zhu.

There is one thing to say, even if you ask Zhu Ming, he once said that these two veterans deserve to be killed.

But the problem is, this time and the other time.

He couldn't control Zhu Yunwen, leaving them to Zhu Yunwen? That would be a disaster. I am afraid that the third and fifth sons will have thoughts of rebellion.

But Zhu Chu is different. If he ascends the throne, wouldn't it be Fu Youde and Feng Sheng? Aren't they just the third and fifth sons?

Why do you need to have a private meeting? I asked them to assist you, and you, the vassal kings, go and expand the territory for me.

He is so domineering and exposed.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde looked at each other and exchanged glances, recalling the conversation that His Majesty had with them in private some time ago.

That day, they were secretly summoned into the palace, and the first words His Majesty spoke almost scared them to death.

"I'm afraid my time is running out, Xu Da is about to die, and Tang He can't fight anymore. Where should you go?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked them at that time.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were dumbfounded. They didn't dare to speak. Even if they followed Zhu Yuanzhang in their early years and conquered the world, it didn't matter. They didn't dare to offend the emperor.

"I can't touch Guo Ying because King Lu is dead. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

As mentioned before, Guo Ying's sister is Concubine Guo Ning, who is now the master of the harem.

But Concubine Guo Ning only had one son, Lao Shi, the King of Luhuang Zhu Tan.

It's a pity that he died from absurdity.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is also obvious. Because Concubine Guo Ning's child died, Guo Ying's identity as uncle was naturally useless.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to be afraid of Guo Ying's existence.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde still couldn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Originally, the two of them were already disheartened and prepared to die.

As the saying goes, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

They never thought about resisting, nor did they dare to rebel. They never thought that they were not Lan Yu, and they were not so arrogant.

"But you still have a chance," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his mind and said, "Although that kid Yunwen is quite scheming, I'm afraid he also has some attainments in the emperor's mind. But he is too immature and young, and his thoughts are too naive. He Do you think that as long as you win over some weak scholars and get the support of the so-called scholars in the world, you can secure this chair?"

"It's so naive. If scholars are so powerful, how come they couldn't drive the Tartars out of the customs in the first place? In the end, wasn't it my fists and kicks that defeated the country? He will never understand the essence of the matter. But he is eighteen Uncle understands."

"The truth of this world is the fist. Go and assist the King of Dian Zhu Chu. If he can accommodate you, you will still have room to use. Otherwise, it is not that I cannot tolerate you, but that the emperor and the courtiers are the same. Look at it. Can he tolerate you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang already felt that his destiny was about to end, so he began to pave the way for the new king.

What Lao Zhu likes to do most is to pave the way for future generations.

Only this time, he no longer pulled out the thorns from the thorns, but left the thorns as weapons to the new king, because he no longer had to worry that the new king might prick his hand when picking up the thorns.

If the new king is him, even if it is a thorn, it will just become a weapon in his hand, whip it on others, and beat the enemy until they bleed all over, right?

What's more, these are just one or two thorns and vines, and in the hands of the boy, he holds a sword, a gun, a stick, an ax, a hook and a fork, and possesses eighteen kinds of martial arts.

"I want to see if you, kid, can really break the sky for me, and if you can really flatten the so-called world in your eyes. Unfortunately, we can't see it anymore."

This was the last sentence Feng Sheng and Fu Youde heard, but it was difficult to understand it until today.

But now the two of them were shocked and excited.

Is there a world beyond the Mobei Great Wall? Overseas world? How could this His Highness's ambition be so terrifying?

Does he want to fight for the rest of his life? Good thing, good news.
