Chapter 313 Zhu Yuanzhang taught you to rebel?

Zhu Chu stayed in the palace throughout the day, spending the morning with his biological mother, Concubine Zhou, and the afternoon with his biological father.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang is too old, otherwise he really wanted to take a day off, and then call Zhu Zhen and go out for a good hunting with this so-called new light machine gun weapon.

"It's not enough if you don't accept it." Zhu Yuanzhang was not fully satisfied in the end, but he had to lament that his era was really coming to an end.

It was already evening at this time. Zhu Yuanzhang was taught a lot of new knowledge by Zhu Zhen, and he was quite excited.

But his energy is limited, so he can only regretfully end his interest today.

Zhu Ming also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not tired, but mainly too bored. With such a great time, wouldn't it be nice to spend some time with the beautiful Xu Meizi?

Really.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. We have sent people back to Fengyang's hometown a few days ago to fetch your Tang and uncle. We old brothers have almost left, so we need to have a good gathering. Yes," Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

Zhu Zhen wondered, what does this have to do with him?

"Didn't you do that kind of surgery for Uncle Xu? I just happened to give your Uncle Tang a check-up. Your Uncle Tang is very kind to our family and is very loyal. I'm afraid you only have a little daughter by your side now, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang A long sigh.

Although Tang He is not like Xu Da, he and Zhu Yuanzhang are both from Zhongli, Bozhou. Tang He is from Fengyang County, Bozhou, while Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are both from peasant families and belong to a certain northeastern area under Fengyang County. People from the village.

But Tang He's time following Zhu Yuanzhang was no worse than Xu Da's.

Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was just an ordinary groom in Guo Zixing's army, Tang He was already a hundred households.

However, Tang He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was the one who would achieve great things. When he met Zhu Yuanzhang, he was so shocked that he even looked up to Zhu Yuanzhang as the groom, even though he had an official position among hundreds of households.

Since then, Tang He and Xu Da have been following Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south, conquering the Ming Dynasty.

It's just because Tang He once made a drunken gaffe. Once when he was drunk, he said something like "I live in Changzhou. If I were lying on the ridge of the roof, if I turn left, I will be in the east, and if I turn right, I will be in the west."

The "turn left to the east" here refers to Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang.

This means that he is now on the market for a price, and whoever wants to rely on him has to rely on himself.

This word later reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. Although Tang He was not punished at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very petty, as you can tell by looking at Zhu Chu. He was a little generous, but not big.

So after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the merits were rewarded, Tang He initially only made the first marquis.

It is said that it was Empress Ma's many heartfelt persuasion that Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his old friendship and made Tang Hejin the Duke of Xinguo. He also gave him a special warning about this matter.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered this incident and specially engraved it on Tang He in the so-called iron coupon book.

Tang He also finally understood how much of a bastard he had been, so he retreated bravely and had a good death.

But Tang He himself is also sick, this is the literal meaning.

Tang He actually served in the imperial court before the 21st year of Hongwu. Later, in the 23rd year of Hongwu, he lost his language ability due to infection with wind disease.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the imperial doctor to treat him.

The so-called wind disease is more like cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. It is the damage to the cranial nerves that affects language ability.

And as Zhu Yuanzhang said, Tang He originally had five sons, but they all died due to various reasons.

For example, the eldest son died during the expedition to Yunnan, the younger son died in the army during the expedition to Wukai, and even the grandson died early.

As a result, Duke Xin Guo's lineage only had one generation, which meant that after Tang He's death, Duke Xin Guo's title became unavailable.

So much so that when he came to the Ming Dynasty God of War, Zhu Qizhen could say that he was dismissed because no one had inherited this title for forty years.

In his early years, Zhu Yuanzhang could still be petty and vengeful, but now, he no longer feels that he cares.

In addition, two of Tang He's daughters were married to King Zhu Tan of Lu. Zhu Yuanzhang had long since lost his temper and now only remembers his old brother.

Although Tang He is now the Duke of Xinguo, he can be regarded as having a good death.

But in fact, Tang He was quite miserable. Not only did his son and grandchildren die young, they also died young.

There are not many daughters left, except for the eldest daughter who married Liao Quan, Marquis of Deqing, and her life is unknown.

Including the two concubines who married King Zhu Tan of Lu, they were also short-lived.

The first Princess Lu, Tang He's daughter, was canonized in the 18th year of Hongwu.

However, in the 20th year of Hongwu, King Lu canonized the second princess, Tang's sister, as the step-concubine. This shows that the first Princess Lu only served as the princess for two years before she died.

Then in the 21st year of Hongwu, King Lu married his second step-concubine, the Ge family. The eldest and only son Zhu Zhaohui was also born to this Ge family.

After that, King Lu died and was given the posthumous title of King Lu Huang.

In just a few years, both Tang He's daughters died.

Thinking of this, even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

That's why he had a plan to bring Tang He to the capital so that Zhu Chu could have a look.

Zhu Chu was already scratching his head, because now Tang He could no longer get out of bed and was simply paralyzed in bed.

Although he was not a medical student, he could vaguely guess some situations.

Tang He was somewhat depressed. Perhaps he suffered from acute cerebral hemorrhage due to his sorrow, anger, and frustration, and had already developed a cerebral infarction, right?

Are you planning to have a craniotomy on yourself?

Do you really think you are Hua Tuo alive?

Even if he were Hua Tuo, would Tang He dare to let him open his head?

Come on, come on, lie down, don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all, you won't know anything as soon as your head opens.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but laugh or cry, but looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's lonely face, he couldn't bear to attack him, so he had to agree: "I can only do my best."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are all at this age. One more day of life will earn one more day, and it won't be a surprise to drive to the west someday. Just like your Uncle Xu said, you can do whatever you want. If it can be cured, it’s a profit.”

"Dad, are you hinting at me?" Zhu Zhen asked hesitantly. Could it be that he wanted to use his hand to relieve Lao Tang?

"Go away," Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry. If I want to kill someone, why should I borrow a knife to kill someone? Bring the knife over and see if I can still lift it.

"Oh," Zhu Zhen promised happily. He turned around with his gun and ran away. It was time to go home. He was exhausted.

"Wait a minute," Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and suddenly said: "Tang He also has a little daughter who is still in the boudoir, and she is docile and lovely. She has always been taking care of Tang He. Why don't you marry her with Xu Miaojin? ?”

Zhu Ming was helpless. I'm afraid this is his father's goal, right?

No, you were petty back then, but now you feel you owe Tang He, but don't give me as a gift to the Tang family.

You might as well ask me to be your son-in-law.

"Dad, are you kidding me? What do you think of me? If I were a lecher, there would be so many women on the grassland who want to throw themselves into my arms, but I wouldn't even want them," Zhu Ming said angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang said funnyly: "It's not a question of whether you want it or not. Many times, being an emperor also has its own helplessness. What's more, although Tang He retired early, his prestige in the army is still not small. If you can marry him at the same time, Under Xu Da and Tang He's daughter, half of the national army has been captured. When the time comes, let Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Guo Ying assist you, and you won't have to worry about the success of your great cause."

Zhu Chu had a strange expression. Was his father teaching him how to rebel?

Yunwen, run away, your grandpa Huang is going to rebel.

"Don't mess around with the mandarin ducks. I know that political marriage is indeed necessary, but the so-called alliance maintained through marriage is too fragile. You don't know Alexander, but you should also know Genghis Khan, right? The Mongol Empire was powerful for a while , didn’t it fall apart in the end? I don’t want to wait for me to die one day, and our Ming Dynasty will also fall apart,” Zhu Ming shook his head.

Whether it was on the grassland before or in front of Zhu Yuanzhang now, he showed his disdain for marriage.

Although this thing is convenient, it is too thin. Both Alexander and Genghis Khan once had the opportunity to unify most of the world. More than one person even said that if they were given a map of the world, including the First Emperor's 'Brother Zheng', these eternal capitals would be the same. It is very possible to unify the world in advance and unify the world or something.

But once they died, whether it was Qiang Qin, the Macedonian Empire, or the Mongol Empire, they were all disbanded.

"I don't need crooked ways. I want to conquer the world with tyranny, and then rule the world with kingship. I will use military strategism to expand territory, use Taoism to educate the world, and use Legalism to impose strict discipline. Again, as long as the people's will is the general trend, who can Don’t even try to block my rolling wheels.”

Even if Zhu Zhen was worried about encountering the power of historical correction before, he doesn't bother to care about it now, because even if there is real power of historical correction, he still has to lie flat in front of him.

Lie down obediently, I'm going to push you over. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yu standing in front of the palace gate. He was high-spirited, extremely young and full of energy, and seemed to see himself in the past.

Zhu Yuanzhang once had such lofty ambitions. He wanted to make everyone in the world well fed and clothed.

At first, he really just had such simple and innocent ideas, and finally embarked on the road of rebellion.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that Zhu Yu looks like him, perhaps more than any other child, is not only because Zhu Yu looks similar, nor because he is as petty as himself (no), but also because Zhu Yu has the same lofty ambitions as himself.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell into a daze, Zhu Ming left alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses after a long time and shook his head in a funny way. Even the fact that he went his own way was so similar to him.

"Sister, you left too early. You were always worried that I couldn't manage the country well and be the emperor. You always thought that I was too ruthless and too narrow-minded. But this is the world for everyone, not our back garden. There are many How can we be tolerant and magnanimous? Once we are tolerant, won’t we continue to tolerate it?”

"Sister, sister, you are so kind-hearted. I really want you to see that without you, wouldn't we be able to manage this country with great success?"

"It's a pity that you didn't give birth to this brat. It would be great if you did."

"No, no, no, if you follow your example and become like Biao'er, even though you are a benevolent king, the civil and military officials in this dynasty are all wolves. Once you show your cowardice, they will pounce on you and tear you alive and eat nothing." There’s not even a scum left.”

"This kid Yunwen wants to learn from his father and be a kind king because the city is too deep. It's a pity that he still doesn't understand."

In fact, although Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer, he was worthy of being called the Hongwu Emperor, with vicious eyes and deep thoughts.

In fact, it is not that the Zhu family has never had a benevolent king. For example, Zhu Gaochi was Renzong, and he took "Ren" as his posthumous title. This is not a big deal.

In history, how many people are worthy of the word ‘Renjun’?

It's a pity that the outcome of the Zhu family is not good. Not only that Wanli was forced not to go to court for decades, but he just doesn't look at the faces of you ministers.

Let’s just talk about Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youxiao. These two emperors, who were separated by more than a hundred years, had very strange causes of death.

And they've all fallen into the water before.

After Zhu Houzhao fell into the water and failed to recover after returning to Beijing, someone asked for the replacement of the imperial physician. However, Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet at the time, disagreed, saying that the emperor just indulged in excessive sexual activities and took more rest, so the imperial physician was not replaced until his death.

Especially Zhu Youxiao. At that time, Zhu Youxiao reused the eunuch Wei Zhongxian to attack the Donglin Party, the so-called civil servant clique.

At that time, the entire scholarly community was angrily criticizing Zhu Youxiao and saying that Wei Zhongxian was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

But what is embarrassing is that when Wei Zhongxian was still there, he never owed the Jiubian Town military pay, as well as money and food from the national treasury.

On the contrary, after Wei Zhongxian's death, the border troops often did not receive military pay and food supplies, and the national treasury was directly empty.

When there were nine years of drought and nine years of floods during the Chongzhen period, there was not even enough food for disaster relief.

When Li Zicheng rebelled, he didn't even have the money to fight.

Those so-called loyal civil servants just watched the excitement until the Manchus entered the customs, beheaded people one by one, and confiscated countless gold, silver, money and food from their homes.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen such overwhelming wealth.

So what exactly is the problem?

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang appreciate Zhan Hui's torture but reprimanded Prince Zhu Biao?

Whether it is Zhu Biao or Zhu Yunwen, they are both too kind-hearted and a little weak.

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang will never listen to the suggestions of these ministers. He is using these ministers to govern the country, not what you say.

But Zhu Yunwen is a little different.

From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang was more optimistic about Zhu Chu and had his own opinion.

"The so-called ministers sound nice to say, but in fact, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not on the same side as the emperor. In many cases, it is true that they even want to challenge the imperial power," Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he continues to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, he may be stained with blood again, his hands covered with blood, and even the hall will be covered with human heads.

But Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he thought of the way this boy Zhu Ming acted.

He doesn't need us to pave the way. If anyone thinks that he is easy to bully, they are totally wrong.

One day, I'm afraid, he will kill more than us.

Especially the Jiangnan family, they originally wanted to secretly facilitate the brat, but now it seems that they just hope he doesn't make too much trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a wry smile, stopped worrying about it, and began to deal with the official duties that had been delayed a lot today.

Looking on the other side, Zhu Ming came out of the palace and saw that Wang Fu had not gone back yet, but was waiting for him with the carriage.

Zhu Zhen walked over and handed the gun to him to pack it properly in a wooden box.

Zhu Chu did not take back these big pineapple light machine guns, but kept them under the control of Wang Fu and others so that they could be equipped in time in case of any unexpected situation.

"Go home and take a look at the Xu Mansion," Zhu Zhen said as he got into the carriage.

Wang Fu personally drove the car and was about to start.

"By the way, we discussed the matter of merit-based rewards today, and I have obtained rewards for you. Wang Fu, you will be in command from now on," Zhu Ming did not forget to share this with Wang Fu. good news.

Wang Fu was so shocked that he simply stopped the carriage, turned over, knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped in fists, and shouted: "Thank you for your cultivation, Your Highness."

Even if it can be traced back to Wang Fu's grandfather Wang Gui, he was a veteran who followed Zhu Yuanzhang across the river, and later he was only the governor of the Zuojun Dudu Mansion, rising to a high-ranking second-rank official.

Because Wang Fu's father Wang Anfu and second uncle Wang Angui both died for the country in previous battles, his third uncle Wang Kuan has now assumed the official position of Governor Qianshi of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion.

In the Ming Dynasty, military household registration was hereditary, which meant that if your father was a soldier or military attache, then someone in your family had to inherit the position even if he was unwilling.

For example, Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general, inherited the post of commanding the Dengzhou Guard at the age of seventeen because his father died of illness.

Not to mention that Qi Jiguang himself had ambitions to fight against Japan. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, military household registration really trapped too many people.

This is not a good thing. For example, the famous Qi Family Army is actually a recruiting system. It is a militia army recruited by Qi Jiguang out of his own pocket and drilled by himself.

But it's still the early Ming Dynasty, so this is still an honor.

Wang Fu was not able to inherit the official position that his grandfather received for his meritorious service, but now he has obtained a position of the same level based on his own merits. How could he not be grateful to Zhu Zhen.

"But Your Highness, it stands to reason that Zhao Kuo and I are already your subjects, so we should not be rewarded by the imperial court." Wang Fu became curious again.

This is true.

But according to Zhu Chu's royal palace system, I'm afraid the highest position would be Chang Shi, right?

He could set up two chief historians on his left and right, and they could be regarded as being in the position of the third rank, and they usually helped the feudal prince handle the affairs of the palace.

Zhu Ming shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I will never let any brother who follows us down. Reward good and punish evil, and make rewards and punishments clear. If you can't even do this most basic thing, how can I let you down in the future?" Are you working for this king?"

"Wang Fu, as long as you don't betray me, I will never betray your trust. If you give your life to me, I will never cherish it like straw."

Wang Fu said excitedly: "We are lucky to be able to follow His Highness. It is a pity that we cannot go into battle with Zhao Kuo and the Mu brothers to kill the enemy. If our brothers were to fight into the grassland this time, I am afraid that even Wala would not be able to fight. .”

Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Don't let Niu Sheng and Peng Yue hear it, otherwise Lao Niu will have a fight with you."

"Hahaha," Wang Fu also laughed.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance. I have asked people to continue to inquire about Tibet and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Once the time comes, we can attack directly from our Yunnan and Arutai departments, one from the south and the other from the north. .”
