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

Chapter 325 Why do you have to be a rebel?

After all, Tang He and Xu Da were not simple people. Rather, how could it be said that people who successfully revolted, followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and even met a good death at the hands of Emperor Hongwu were simple?

How many people were involved in the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case? Tens of thousands of nobles died, and Li Shanchang's family was even impeached for no reason ten years later, and the whole family was executed.

How can you survive until now without any brains?

So Xu Da and Tang He both guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

If it were not to pave the way for Zhu Chu, no matter what, it would be impossible for him to marry the daughters of two princes at the same time, let alone the daughters of Tang He and Xu Da.

Their status is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even the prestige of today's princes and generals such as Fu Youde in the military is slightly lower than that of Xu Da and Tang He.

So Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer ambiguous, and directly taught Zhu Zhen in front of the two old brothers: "Son, do you really think that being an emperor is so easy? Do you know what is the most important thing about being an emperor?"

"Be patient?" Zhu Zhen sneered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already looking for shoe soles.

"It's balance," Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "The civil and military officials in the court and China need balance, and the world also needs balance. If the emperor has a selfish preference for a certain person or place, it will be out of balance."

He is indeed the Hongwu Emperor.

In fact, it was difficult for the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty to grasp the balance. They either reused the royal guards, or eunuchs to establish the East Factory and the West Factory, or reused the relatives of the harem, or the civil service group.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty has always been full of party members and parties fighting against each other.

Especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin party formed by the Jiangnan Family Group had reached the point of endless struggle.

But in fact, if he followed Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called balance, Chongzhen Zhu Youjian should not have chosen his position. He was too naive, thinking that if he chose the Donglin Party, the world would be peaceful.

As a result, he was forced to hang himself on a coal mountain.

But what if Zhu Youjian was not so anxious to eradicate the eunuchs and Wei Zhongxian? As an emperor, he should not personally participate in party disputes. He should just let the two groups fight like dogs. The emperor should just sit back and reap the benefits.

The reuse of Jin Yiwei has led to internal corruption in Jin Yiwei, coupled with excessive power, it has become a hazard.

So he began to establish Dongchang to clamp down on Jinyiwei.

As a result, Dongchang started to become corrupt again, and even Jin Yiwei was about to become a subordinate organization of Dongchang.

Then we had to establish the west factory to monitor the east factory.

As a result, the power structure of the Ming Dynasty began to gradually lose control.

The so-called way of balance is not the golden mean, and the golden mean is not the "foolish" mediocrity. It contains the profound art of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to enlighten Zhu Chu, after all, he chose two lines, one overt and one covert. It was clear that Zhu Yunwen was the crown prince and grandson, but secretly he had already begun to pave the way for Zhu Chu.

Even Tang He and Xu Da stood aside and listened silently. From now on, these two 'big Buddhas' will be Zhu Chu's biggest support.

As long as they survive for a day, Zhu Min's position in the army will be unshakable.

The three brothers fought together in the world and experienced ups and downs for so many years. They have a more thorough and long-term view of many things than Zhu Chu.

Does Tang Heneng know what will happen to him if he doesn't sacrifice Tang Xin?

Xu Daneng didn't know what would happen to him if he didn't let Zhu Xi marry Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin together?

This is also a way of balance. The Xu family still has three brothers in the court. When Xu Huizu inherits the title of Wei Guogong in the future, Xu Miaojin's harem status will probably be even more powerful than Guo Ying's today.

If Xu Miaojin gives birth to another prince, Xu Huizu will be the uncle of the country.

What if Zhu Chun is good again? After all, he always likes to take the lead and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy personally. In addition, the longevity of the emperors of the Zhu family is problematic. If Zhu Chun dies young, who will control the Xu family?

Is this trying to create a Ming Dynasty version of ‘Wang Mang’?

These are all issues Zhu Yuanzhang considered.

So there are actually political compromises and power transactions here.

All in all it's very complicated.

Zhu Zhen quickly got bored. He had his own ideas and did not want Zhu Yuanzhang to control his life.

"How dare you not be convinced, this brat?" Of course Zhu Yuanzhang could see that Zhu Ming had his own ideas, and he couldn't help but be amused and angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang also has feelings, but many times, for the sake of the country and the descendants of the Zhu family, he has to do it as a last resort.

At this time, the Tang and Xu families have made political compromises. Their daughters will check and balance each other and will not let one of them dominate.

Including Xu Da and Tang He, they also made a choice to take sides at this time. Since His Majesty has paved the way for Zhu Chu, they will also protect this common son-in-law.

With Tang He and Xu Da behind Zhu Chu, Zhu Yuanzhang could rest assured and leave people like Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to Zhu Chu.

So now the pressure is on Zhu Xi.

Do you want to marry Tang Xin? Do you want to make a compromise?

Zhu Xi lowered his head and remained silent.

Because he knew that Tang Xin was by no means the first, let alone the last.

What about after Tang Xin?

In order to balance the emotions of the Yunnan chieftain and the grassland, there will be Mongolian concubines.

Didn't even his father, Emperor Hongwu, marry a Goryeo concubine?

Why, do I have to marry a Korean from now on?

What about those aristocratic families? In order to balance civil and military affairs, you have to marry the daughter of a certain minister, right?

As long as he dares to let go at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang can confer more than a dozen concubines on him in one breath tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen naturally would not compromise easily.

There is only a difference between zero and countless times.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I think you'd better not push him too hard. After all, even the little girl couldn't fall in his eyes at the beginning. I think it's better to let the young people get along with each other. Once the emotional foundation is established, everything will fall into place naturally. Everything will work out." In the end, it was Xu Da who couldn't bear it anymore and said something to Zhu Chu.

After all, Zhu Ming still insists on not letting go. Isn't it because of his daughter?

Zhu Ming raised his head and looked at Xu Da resentfully, "My father-in-law, are you really stubborn? You just want me to bear the pressure alone?"

Xu Da pretended not to see it, thinking to himself, this kid still dares to complain? Dad You is the Hongwu Emperor. How many heads do you think I have?

What's more, if you don't marry Tang Xin, not only Tang He will die, but I will die too.

Xu Da was actually helpless. He had been cautious and abiding by his duties all his life. He was helpless when he was approaching old age. The last son-in-law turned out to be the devil incarnation Zhu Chu.

Zhu Zhen is involved in very big things now. As a vassal king, he has been staying in the capital for more than half a year without any fault. On many occasions, he was even personally called by Zhu Yuanzhang to go to the court to listen to politics. Even if he was not explicitly asked to rule the court, he could Why does a vassal king need to go to court every day?

For this reason, many civil servants are dissatisfied. After all, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen is still the crown prince, and he is still learning to handle government affairs.

Xu Da understood very well that his life was inseparable from Zhu Chu's fate.

If Zhu Yuanzhang regrets temporarily and no longer chooses Zhu Zhen, then all the people around Zhu Zhen will die by then.

On the other hand, only if Zhu Ming has maintained a stable position and played an increasingly important role in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, will they be safe.

So Xu Da also glared at Zhu Ming with some complaints, didn't he want to marry another wife? The Tang family's youngest daughter is about the same age as him and very pretty, so why is she so stubborn?

It was obvious that both he and Xu Miaojin understood the truth, but he pretended not to understand.

"Okay, Chu'er, you go down first. Next, I want to have a good chat with your two uncles." Zhu Yuanzhang also felt tired. This brat, if it were any other son, who would dare to talk back to him? Not to mention marrying a woman, even if you let them marry a widow, they have to be grateful.

As for him, he really doesn’t take us seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry and funny, he thought to himself, does this guy think we are trying to harm him?

Zhu Zhen could finally let out a long sigh of relief, and then got up from the ground.

The same goes for Lao Zhu. He actually kept asking him to kneel and listen to the training. Was he his biological son?

"I'm going to resign first," Zhu Zhengong said as he handed over his hands and wanted to run away quickly. He was tired today. Not only did he spend more than 10 million resources in vain, but he still didn't achieve the goal he wanted. Instead, he dug a hole for himself. Buried in.

But we can’t torture Tang He to death anymore, right?

Really, why do you have to call him back?

Zhu Chu looked at Tang He with eyes full of resentment.

Tang He noticed it, rolled his eyelids, and said, "Your Highness is probably cursing me in your heart, right? You should be careful, otherwise I will become your father-in-law from now on, and you will not be as good-looking as you."

Zhu Ming snorted and thanked Bu Min.

Seeing that Zhu Chu turned around and was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him again: "Speaking of which, the troops led by Peng Yue and Niu Sheng will return to the court tomorrow. Although I asked Yunwen to serve as an envoy to convey the decree and reward. The whole army, but those cattle and sheep in the army, don’t you have other plans?” Zhu Zhen’s eyes lit up and he looked happy.

Because of being urged by Lao Zhu and the news that Xu Da was critically ill, he and Xu Miaojin took Wang Fu and the guards lightly and returned to the capital early, covered with stars and moon all the way.

Now more than half a month has passed, and the large army behind them finally walked from Peking to Yingtian, the capital.

Remembering that he hadn't seen Peng Yue and Niu Sheng for a while, Zhu Zhen was also a little excited.

After all, it is a comradeship formed by fighting together on the battlefield.

"When you finish dealing with these things, when spring starts in March, it will be time to patrol the sky on behalf of you," Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi with deep meaning in his eyes.

Zhu Xi nodded, there was still a tacit understanding between father and son.

This time he will start from Yingtian, then go around Jiangnan first, and deal with the increasingly outrageous Jiangnan families.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang dared not to take it seriously, right?

I really don’t know how I died.

"When the time comes, let Tang Xin go with you," Zhu Yuanzhang said suddenly.

Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded, don't you really want to continue the matchmaking?

"Take her? Why?" Zhu Zhen was angry. Just because he didn't speak doesn't mean that he has to remain silent and compromise. Don't go too far. I'm saving face for you.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, but looked at Tang He.

Tang He understood, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "In the past few years, His Majesty sent veterans to the coast of western Zhejiang to build forts and garrison troops to guard against Japanese pirates. In addition, I also went to eastern Zhejiang and other places to build bridges. Road. I'm afraid my Xin'er knows the situation there better than you do. They will also give me some face."

This means that it will increase Zhu Zhen's reputation so that there will be no dissatisfaction in the army.

Zhu Chu is so angry, what does he think of me? Am I just a pretty guy who made his fortune with women?

Which of those achievements in the southern and northern wars were not due to his own ability? Which of the armies that followed him was not conquered by his personal charm and various means?

Are you still stroking your beard? Believe it or not, I shaved off all your beard and hair?

Zhu Chu was about to argue.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke and said: "Zhen'er, didn't you once praise Haikou and plan to go on overseas expeditions in the future? But do you know water warfare? Have you been to the sea? Don't underestimate this little daughter of the Tang family, her Xu Miaojin's military force is not inferior to that of Xu Miaojin, including his military commanding ability, and he also has the true inheritance of your Uncle Tang. If Miaojin can help you share the pressure when you are on the grassland, then when you are at sea, I am afraid you will have to rely more on Xin'er."

Zhu Ming was finally a little surprised. He looked at Tang He and asked, "Really or not? By the way, why do all these girls like to wield knives and guns?"

Tang Heyouyou sighed: "Do you think I am willing? The problem is that all my children and grandchildren are gone."

He was helpless. All his direct descendants died young or died young. What else could he do except pass on his skills to his younger daughter?

Zhu Zhen stopped talking, and finally had to cup his hands, turn around and go out.

Look at his back as he leaves with three swaying steps and four square steps.

The three brothers in the hall looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.

"Sure enough, as Tiande (named by Xu Da) said, you are exactly the same as your Majesty when you were young," Tang He said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with love and hate: "Even this stubborn temper is the same, but it gives us a headache. Now, we still have to coax him? I really turned against him."

Xu Da said: "Even the temperament of this deep-rooted love is exactly the same."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and fell into silence.

Since the death of Queen Ma, he has never had a queen, even though there are so many women in the harem who have given him dozens of children.

But only Queen Ma was special in his heart.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel disappointed. He was forcing Zhu Ming like this today. How would he feel if it were him?

"I am his father after all. He cannot be arrogant in his parents' orders to be a matchmaker," Zhu Yuanzhang finally snorted coldly. If he doesn't even have this little confidence, who is whose father?

Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Tang He knew better than Xu Da the principle of self-preservation, so after waking up, he hurriedly came to greet Zhu Yuanzhang, and even knelt outside waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to forgive him.

Tang He also understood that even Li Shanchang could kill everyone in his family, and he would not be able to kill more than one of them.

But he also had people he couldn't worry about. In addition to Tang Xin, he also had an eldest daughter, and the Tang family also had side clan members. He didn't want to kill the whole family and wipe out the nine clans.

So he had to compromise, and Zhu Ming also had to marry Tang Xin, otherwise the Tang family would be useless.

In fact, it's not that Zhu Ming didn't understand the truth. At this time, he was complaining and slandering Lao Zhu a lot.

"It's true that Lao Zhu likes to pave the way for others when he has nothing to do. I use you? Who dares to disobey in the future and directly bombard his mother."

Zhu Ming didn't dare to say it out loud, he just thought about it secretly in his heart.

"Actually, it's not easy for Lao Zhu. Alas, he doesn't want to see our brothers fighting against each other."

Zhu Yu can actually understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. From now on, his two father-in-laws, one is Tang He and the other is Xu Da, plus Zhu Yuanzhang can safely leave the generals Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to him.

I dare to ask all the feudal lords in the world, who dares to fight against him?

All the soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty belong to him, who can resist?

That's why it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be teaching him how to rebel, and now it was up to His Majesty the Emperor to surrender.

As for the civil servant group surrounding Zhu Yunwen.

Once he walks around Jiangnan, it won't be a problem.

What's more, who Zhu Yuanzhang wants to appoint as the heir apparent does not really need to depend on the opinions of the so-called civil servants. The reason Liu Sanwu was able to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang from wanting to appoint Zhu Di was just because Liu Sanwu mentioned that if he established a fourth son, the second and third son of your family would be Where to put it?

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that King Zhu Xi of Qin and King Zhu Fan of Jin would cause trouble with Zhu Di in the future, so he gave up his plan.

Otherwise, there was only one Liu Sanwu in the entire dynasty who dared to speak. Who should Emperor Hongwu appoint as his crown prince? It would be your turn to point your fingers.

When I can no longer lift the butcher knife? Or do you think you have too many brains?

As far as the Hongwu Dynasty was concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was supreme. He could kill whoever he wanted, and whoever he wanted to die had to die.

But it hurt Zhu Zhen because he wanted him to compromise.

In fact, as long as Zhu Chu lets go, everything will be easy.

As long as it is announced to the world and granted marriage to Zhu Zhen, Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin, the vassal princes, as well as the Ming army all over the world, will understand who will be the master of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

By then, Zhu Yunwen will have to step aside. Although you have been recognized by the civil officials, you don't even have a general, and you don't have any prestige in the army. Even if you are allowed to ascend the throne, your eighteenth uncle will raise his arms and call for the world to follow. ,how to spell?

I'm afraid if the battle of Jingnan has just started, I can just click surrender.

Zhu Zhen was also thinking about these things along the way.

For Zhu Chu, this is the real world, and as his influence grows, the entire history begins to go haywire. Even Sanniang Zi and Na Dahan, who did not belong to this era, appeared before. He suspected that the revisionist forces of history were at work.

But in fact, isn't it caused by his influence?

Maybe it was not the Sanniangzi and Ada Khan in history, or maybe someone just gave them this name in advance.

So for Zhu Zhen, everything in this world is the real world, so everyone's thoughts and actions are not static, but ever-changing.

For example, yesterday Zhu Yuanzhang was still so concerned about Tang He's condition that he even shed sad tears.

But today Zhu Yuanzhang could be suspicious of Tang He again, and even had dangerous thoughts about Xu Da.

If Zhu Ming continues to insist on his opinion, and Zhu Yuanzhang feels more and more powerless, I am afraid that before he dies, he really intends to take the two old brothers away together.

The reason is also very simple, either they can be your father-in-law, your assistant minister, and help you stabilize your position in the military.

Either they have to die, or even if they don't rebel, what if Xu Da helps Zhu Di? What if Tang He ran away to seek refuge with other vassal kings who were his legitimate sons?

"It's really troublesome," Zhu Zhen scratched his head hard. Originally, his idea was extremely simple. With his own powerful strength and the powerful military forces and troops secretly developed in Yunnan, he should rebel and fight for hegemony in the world. The world.

But governing a country, as the king of a country, is not that simple. Just the problems between more than twenty brothers are enough to give him a headache.

Who obeys whom, who disobeys whom, who is loyal, who is ambitious, who is capable, who can be trusted, even the heirs of brothers, which prince can be reused, which prince is a playboy, and so on.

He hasn't become emperor yet, but he's already starting to have headaches. It's conceivable that it's not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to manage such a large country in an orderly manner.

"Wang Fu, go to Xu Mansion." After Zhu Min came out, he asked Wang Fu to drive straight to Xu Mansion.

While Xu Da was not at home, Zhu Min directly stole the house and poured all his worries into his sister Xu.

On the contrary, Xu Miaojin felt baffled when she heard him talk about so many troubles during the process.

"What is there to worry about? Even the princes and ministers have many wives and concubines, not to mention your brothers who are vassals. Do you think your fourth brother, my eldest brother-in-law, only has one concubine for my eldest sister? He He even married a Jurchen woman."

Xu Miaojin curled her lips, put her arms around Zhu Chu's neck, and murmured: "I said it before I followed you. Other princes can have three wives and four concubines, why can't you? I said it myself. How can these words prevent you from marrying someone else? What's more, that's Xin'er. Brother, big things happen regardless of trivial matters. Don't let small things make you lose big. If you fall out of favor with His Majesty, do you really plan to rebel in the future? "

It's obvious that he can inherit the throne, so why do he have to force himself to become a rebel?
